53. Fabrication

I picked up my cup from the coffee table and glanced at my badge againβ€”now that I was Colonel Longinus, it was a joy to look at. Colonel Salvado, Second Lieutenant Clock, and Second Lieutenant Solese sat around me, and for a year and a half, we did a good job.

But it's really a year and a half when people are not as good as dogs.

At first, I followed the special search team in plain clothes, down the twenty-nine floors, layer by layer, drilling into holes, working overtime, and searching nearly 30 floors in three days, which only proved that Mai Zong was worried in vain, but to be honest, when the search was over, we scolded Mai Zong behind our backs, but we were really relieved in our hearts - the Sun King was not as dangerous as Mai Zong imagined, which was great news for us.

In a way, we'd rather prove Mak Jong wrong than prove Mai Jong right.

After that, all the Rangers, regardless of Valkyrie and the Laboratory, all began to work in three shifts, and entered the underground level of the Black Coffin, which was the underground reservoir, quarry and iron ore of the Black Coffin, located four hundred meters underground, and could be seen in the last century's amazing heavy shield machine, the steel behemoth of the United Nie, but unfortunately it had become a pile of scrap metal.

Perhaps the architects of the Black Coffin had intended to build a complex rail transportation system around the Black Coffin, which was by no means civilian, but military, otherwise why hide so deeply?

The reservoir is connected to deep groundwater to ensure the town's water supply, and although there is minimal pollution, the residents are neither aware nor concerned. But the black coffin itself doesn't need this underground cistern, and its clear water comes from nowhere.

We've found the mushrooms deep underground, and a large number of three-headed canines, which don't pose much of a threat to the heavily armed Rangers, and we have suffered casualties, but no more than ten have died until the end of the operation.

Then it's the physical work.

It wasn't hard for the Rangers to overcome their fears, most of them didn't know what they were up against, and thought that they were just living fossils of the victims - and even what the fossils were, and no wonder that not everyone was as studious as I was, and not everyone was a reborn of St. Longinus like me.

The difficult thing is that once something strange happens, it needs to be dealt with in time, and there are a few times when the infected actually wake up, their ability to assimilate is extremely weak, they can only kill, but not resurrect, I rushed to finish them up, and used a lame excuse to fool the past.

As the inventory expanded, we all became miners rather than officers and soldiers, and we used carts to move statues of the infected upwards. There are a lot of statues, how did they penetrate the ground? I can't answer, maybe they were turned into blood after being hit by the full moon, and they desperately drilled down, but they still couldn't escape the fate of sleeping.

Why isn't there anyone among the Sun Kings who is still awake? Isn't there anyone who knows how to avoid the moonlight? I don't want to delve into it, as Mai Zong said, it doesn't do us any good to think that far ahead.

Black Coffin Town used to be a place called Silicon Valley, the remaining buildings are not high, but complex and wide, each one must be searched, there are also infected people here, the number is not large, but the area is not small, the House of Elders urged us to speed up the action, this is a life-threatening matter, we dare not slack off, the first reconnaissance operation took three months, and then every month by region detailed search.

Once a month approaches the Full Moon, and that's when we destroy the infected and create the embers. We worked quickly and efficiently, piling up statues in the square, expelling all civilians and letting the moonlight do the rest for us. When destroyed, we transported the embers back underground, and Mai Zong said that the darker and colder the place, the faster they would condense into crystals, and it would only take a month for them to be used for construction.

We finally have the building blocks to complete the town of Black Coffin and double the diameter of the town. In the words of the consuls: it was a great battle in which humanity finally found out the truth, declared war on the culprits of the end times, and achieved a brilliant victory.

Of course, with the successful conclusion of the operation, all the Rangers were paid handsomely overtime, and I personally was promoted to colonel and cheekily promoted Salvador to them. Not long ago, the Sword and Shield Society recalled Misser and sent new diplomats and bodyguards, and the relationship between the Black Coffin and the Sword and Shield Society developed in a good direction. Missey's departure will make me feel like I have lost an important ally, but in the long run, I hope that Misser will be promoted to the rank of Lord in the Sword and Shield Society, and that his brotherhood with me will be a guarantee for both of us.

Salvatore has not fully recovered from the blow of Betty's departure, and he refuses to accept any affection, which can be seen that she is his true love. But on the bright side, he practiced the Nian Blade even harder.

I gave him the thirty-third floor of the house, and he insisted on living alone, and when I went back to see him, I could see that he had a picture of Betty and his clothes.

I would pat him on the shoulder in understanding, gaze into his eyes with a gentle gaze, and say softly, "Don't overdo anything, pay attention to your body." He would blush and say, "I didn't, you misunderstood!" ”

Of course I would say, "No, don't hide it, I'll help you." Do you want me to go to their house and help you get some fresh smells? The last time I saw Betty wearing a pair of translucent socks, it was pretty good...."

And then Salvador would away, and blame me for peeking at Betty, the ungrateful boy, but he's in adolescence now, and who hasn't come from that? I don't bother with him. I only occasionally took the time to sneak from Betty's residence to the Salvadoran table where Salvador longed for something, like the kind Santa Claus who fulfilled the good wishes of his children in ancient times....

Lamia finally had time to complete the long-awaited operation, and I cannot describe the details here, except to say that in those few days, I seemed to be more tired than I had been in the whole year of checking the infected people, and I was too tired to straighten my back. If one day, I die at home and in my bed, will it be considered a death in the line of duty? I think it should be, after all, I'm working for the Colonel of the Rangers.

Yes, she was promoted again, and she is still my boss.

Now, I am temporarily assigned to the low-level police station as a detective, it seems that Legang wants me to relax for a few months, but it is full of open and secret fights between gangs, and even assassinations from time to time, I understand that few of my militia groups are clean, but I am too lazy to care for the time being.

Salvatore suddenly said, "My sister said she wanted a baby. ”

I sighed, "I asked the experts and they said it was difficult, Lamia and I were both so-called 'descendants of the devil', and fertility was a problem, but we will do our best." ”

The waste bell handed over an advertising leaflet and said, "Sir, you'd better take a look." ”

I asked, "What is it?" Are you going to a concert again? "Recently, there is a woman in the black coffin who has become popular in singing, and often sings in the song halls and theaters on all floors.

Waste Zhong shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with that. ”

I read: "Ten Days of Horror in the Wilds, the top of this week's Black Coffin bestseller list, tells the dawn of the Ranger Frontiers, the story of Yune's discovery, and the story of the love-hate relationship between the famous Ranger Colonel Longinus and the author - by the genius beautiful girl writer Betista. The author had risen to prominence among the Rangers, and her shadow was found all over the San Francisco wilderness. She then retired from the military to write full-time, writing in a quirky, authentic style, and full of amazing Ranger insider ....."

Salvador and I shouted in unison, "What shit is this!" ”

The Waste Bell said, "Do you know this Betista?" ”

Salvatore trembled and said, "She's Betty!" Betty! Did she leave the army and become a writer? ”

I shouted, "Who else but her?" What exactly is written in this book? ”

Soles raised her hand and said, "I read it a while ago about you and Salvador - Sado in the book - who were jealous of Betista on the way to complete the mission, but she wisely kept her calm, handled the relationship correctly, and led you through crisis after crisis, and finally relied on her to open and bring back Yune." Then, in order to take care of the brotherhood between you and Salvador, she resolutely cut off the love thread, left you, and left the Rangers, leaving all fame and fortune behind. ”

I slapped the table angrily and shouted, "Fart! Fart! This mother-in-law who kills a thousand knives! ”

Salvatore said, "Did she leak Ranger secrets by doing this?" ”

I said, "Leak it!" She's just making it up! Bastard, I'm going to expose her to the newspaper! ”

"She wants you to confront her, and the newspapers are eager for topics, and the more you quarrel, the better her books will sell." ”

Soles smiled: "The most interesting thing is that she also used the theft of her home to promote it, saying that after the book became popular, the intimate clothes at home were frequently stolen, perhaps some shameless infatuated book fan did it." ”

I looked at Salvador, and I saw a cold sweat running down his forehead, and I wasn't much better.

I said, "She uses my name in the book, can I ask her for the fee?" She is clearly infringing. ”

"I don't know," said Soles, "but now I'm going back to the barracks, sir, thank you for your treat." ”

I hurriedly said, "I didn't say a treat!" I'm going to hand over all my money! Feed! Feed! "But it didn't work, they and Salvador quickly left me behind.

I looked at my watch, at half past three in the afternoon, two hours before the end of work, I was out fishing, and the scum in the bureau would definitely not do anything serious, although I am sorry for the residents of this layer, but my ability is limited, I can only do this step, after all, it is not realistic to expect me to bring all this group of pests on the right path in a few months, and in a few months, I will go back to the barracks on an errand, and nothing will change here.

What's more, they treated me politely.

I returned to the bureau with a straight face, and Deputy Sergeant Xie Bade greeted me obediently and said with a smile: "Sir, what annoyed you?" My brothers and I will settle it for you. ”

I said, "Have you seen that Ten Days of the Wild?" ”

Six of the ten people nodded and said, "Of course I have read it, it is wonderfully written!" "We guessed that the protagonist must be you, you are the legendary hero of our rangers."
