The rebellious character of the young people brought terrible revenge to themselves, especially the new gang of former die-hard followers of King Aru, whose short-sightedness did not win them any level of sympathy, on the contrary, their brutality cost them dearly.
"The Great Leader has ordered that all Night Wolves must be ready before midnight to arrest these rebels." "This matter must not be brought up to anyone, it is a matter of importance, and if necessary, if necessary, any rebel who resists in the course of his arrest is allowed to be killed on the spot!" "The telegram order, the special police dog brigade, the first and second battalions of the teaching regiment, and the fourth battalion of the cavalry regiment, immediately join the search and arrest operation, block all roads leading to the outskirts of R County, check for suspicious activities, and allow anyone who refuses to accept the inspection to be killed and disposed of!" "Special order, the former Fifth Regiment is newly attached to the Third Battalion of Shaomin, and the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion have a collective rebellion! In order to severely punish the rebels and find out their party affiliation, from the time of the promulgation of this decree, all the families of the young people are not allowed to enter and leave the residential area at will! Those who dare to disobey the order will be severely punished! "One after another harsh orders were passed on in the R County Fu**, but the war was imminent, in order to try to appease the young people of the Shun faction such as Pang Mulin and reduce the area of attack, Wei Zhongshu sent the 3rd Teaching Battalion to be responsible for the vigilance of the area where the Pang Mulin faction lived, and this practice was also one of the feasible ways to distinguish them from other rebels who might be the rebels. At the same time, in order to reassure the majority of the young people, Wei Zhongshu took a group of middle-level officers to do the ideological work of those village elders who had not yet understood, and its main purpose was to appease the vast majority of people, to paraphrase the official words of the Great Celestial Empire before: It is just a handful of hostile elements undermining the unity of the military and the people in R County, and such frenzied saboteurs will not succeed in the face of the people's democratic dictatorship! We must unite as one, unite as one, not be afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and defeat all these enemy and special ,,,,,elements. Anyway, Lao Wei gave these subordinates with thick glasses a death order, let them encourage their clever mouths, and try their best to stabilize people's hearts, if there are still some people who still have ideas about this purge activity in R County, then they have to ask the night wolf team to invite them to the underground office of the Seventh Division of R County Fu ** to "drink tea"! Anyway, the ability of these guys to check the water meter is still very reassuring, and as for the brothers of the Seventh Division, it is not something that Lao Wei cares about.
After more than ten days of investigation and torture, the sturdy guy Hu Yan couldn't help but feel difficult. In the kind of dungeon where he can't see the light of day, even a person like him who has a serious twist in his heart doesn't want to stay longer, and now the torturers under his command use the method of three shifts, treating those arrested suspects, all of them adopt "boiling eagles", continuous interrogation, whipping, so that they can't rest normally, until they have a mental breakdown, and honestly confide in what they know, especially for those hard stones in the pit, Hu Yan King has a whole set of systematic methods to deal with them. His subordinates have been exposed to it, and they have all learned the various interrogations of this master, and with a good apprentice, King Huyan himself gradually became much easier, but he still didn't dare to rest, and the big leader rarely came to ask him about his work recently, so that he thought that he must be idle and lazy, and his work was not dedicated enough, so that his boss ignored the results of his work, and in order to win the favor of his boss, he worked overtime to continue his work, no, it was a hard day, After explaining how the leader of the next shift was, King Hu Yan carried two bottles of sweet potato roast, hummed a yellow tune, swayed and walked to his dirty nest. "There is wine today, and there is drunkness today! Don't blame the right and wrong in front of the door! On that day, I dreamed of a million male soldiers, stepping on the Jiangdong, the father and the old folks went into the wine to carry them, and the good dishes and soups made me a revolutionary general, running out of stomach, and busy in a panic! After drinking a few cups of yellow soup and horse urine, King Hu Yan was not willing to be lonely, shouting and singing nonsense on his dirty bed, there were not many things that could be used for recreation in the last days, and Zhang Jiaming's forces did not have a department such as the Art Troupe in the development department, at most, let a few guys with quick mouths form a condolence team, and tell jokes and other small activities to the big guys everywhere, and large-scale literary and artistic organizations were still not promoted. After singing a few small tunes that he had made up, King Hu Yan took a few sips of wine and began to sing the classic yellow tunes he had learned in prison, such as: Eighteen Touch, Chun Niang Si Chun Duan, Little Widow Cheating and so on, so that the two night wolves who were in charge of his guards were so annoyed that they covered their ears and went to the outer hall.
At midnight, Hu Kuishan, who slept groggyly, slowly woke up, and the smell of incense powder came to his face, so that this guy who had not fully recovered his sanity couldn't help but be shocked, how many years he was not close to women, he had thought that he would be surrounded by the fragrance of women, in the days when he was a thug, even the most inferior street girl would not look at her with straight eyes, he also knew what he looked like, and rarely hoped to find a mother-in-law to continue the offspring, in the psychology of people like him, in fact, he was very inferior, Without a formal job, he is not recognized by the common class, and he can only hang out like a wild dog at the bottom of society forever, and he will never be respected by others. Blinking his worried eyes, Hu Kuishan rubbed his eye sockets vigorously, and then looked at the person, the three hooded figures stood quietly in front of him, the lights in the room were not turned on, Hu Kuishan couldn't see the comer clearly, but the absence of the night wolf made this guy who had no one to rely on break out in a cold sweat! If these three mysterious visitors have malicious intentions, then their own heads will be long gone? King Hu Yan didn't dare to think about it anymore, but he knew in his heart that the fragrance just now was only qualified to be used by the wives and daughters of the big men who had heads and faces in the settlement, and for this shrewd man, this smell was the most familiar, just a few frontal contacts, with extraordinary acuity, between the lightning and thunder, Hu Kuishan already knew who was coming, otherwise, the night wolf in charge of his own guard would never leave his post without permission. "Big ,,," Hu Kuishan was pressed by the masked man led by his lips, and the other hand of the comer made a silent motion. At this moment, Hu Kuishan's wine was completely awakened. "Kuishan, you're doing a good job." The visitor sat down, and in the dim environment, Hu Kuishan stood up straight respectfully: "Thanks to your old brother's guidance, I have done my best to make some small achievements." Poofs twice, and the other two masked men who were obviously women laughed, causing Hu Kuishan to laugh as well, "You, when did you learn to chew words?" Don't engage in those useless things, listen up, those outsiders have already bullied us at our doorstep, and we don't have to be polite to them, you here, just work overtime to torture me, besides, I heard that you recently accepted apprentices? "Hey, it's a few old guys who ran together in the past, they have been hanging in the field outside for a long time, and life is difficult, no, they will come to me when they get here." "Kuishan, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, do you know?" "Brother, I know their background, they are really old brothers who have been together for many years, you see, if you don't worry, let me have more eyes!" The visitor chuckled, stopped asking, and was silent for a while before he asked, "You still don't know a little about the situation outside, alas, there are fewer and fewer people around me who can be trusted." Sighing, the visitor seemed very sad, Hu Kuishan took two steps closer: "Brother, what you said are right, aren't they all assisting you, Dad?" Several generals are also loyal to you, you see what you say! "You don't understand, Kuishan, I'll tell you, we're in a lot of trouble this time, remember what I told you before?" "Brother?" Hu Kuishan looked at him hesitantly. "I want you to live, even if this place is all reduced to a sea of fire and ruins, you will give me life, and I will give you one of the most important starvation tasks!" "Brother! Command, my life is yours long ago! "As Zhang Jiaming's henchman, Hu Kuishan can indeed be the same as he is on the outside, and this is a character who can't find a second one in the settlement." If the base in the mountains can't be saved, you can leave here with Wenwen until you find a safe place, and then make plans! Do you understand? "Brother!!" Hu Kuishan was in a cold sweat, he was not a very smart person, but he already understood what the comer meant. "Did you say yes?" The person who came loosened his cloak and revealed a young face, it was Zhang Jiaming's righteous son --- Qin Xiao's family! But at this moment, this young man's face is not the usual immature childishness, but has a bit of the maturity and stability of the superior, looking at the strange face of the young man's face, coupled with the same tone as Zhang Jiaming before, Hu Kuishan is now a head and two big, he almost regarded this person as the big leader himself! "Don't think too much about it, the big leader asked us to come here to give orders, for the sake of multiple back paths to choose from, and it is also his trust in you!" Hu Kuishan nodded again and again, not forgetting the promise in his mouth. But the Great Leader also knows that your abilities are limited, Kuishan, I ask you, are you willing to join us? "The eyes of the three people standing in the shadows are shining with a strange green, looking at the bald heads like three lurking beasts, outside the door, two night wolves with leather masks, are also roaring in a low voice, when they will appear Hu Kuishan is unknown, but Lao Hu understands a little, this is a solicitation of the big leader to get close to him!" Of course, of course, I do! "This gift is to increase your chances of survival! No matter how stupid people are, they will know what to do by this time! "In the name of the great leader, I, the Qin Xiao family, and the two clan mothers as witnesses, accept Hu Kuishan's allegiance!" A small silver bottle was put in the hands of the big bald head who had already knelt on the ground with excitement, Hu Kuishan looked at the bottle in his hand, and the bright red liquid in it was churning like life. "Drink it and join us!" Before the words fell, when Hu Kuishan raised his head, the three figures had already disappeared, and only the lingering voice was still floating in the hall: "Remember your promise!" ”
At this point, there is one less fierce and brutal prison officer in R County Fu**, and one more demon who does not want to rest day and night, and is bent on torturing those people.
In the Bering Strait, a majestic silver-gray battleship sailed quietly on the ocean, the storm was raging, the rolling thunder roared in the sky from time to time, and the lightning then pierced the sky, like countless silver snakes, showing their hideous side in the thick dark clouds. In the hall on the lower level of the cabin, a dozen shadows were sitting in the dimly lit hall, and the attendees were dressed strangely, much like the aristocratic costumes of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and a few richly dressed figures even wore strange headgear! Just for the presiding judge in the courtroom!
"Mr. Robert, we have invited you here today, and I am sure that you have prepared the wording of your speech?" A cold voice slowly opened his mouth.
"Yes, I was prepared." Robert, who was mentioned, was unmoved, and also replied coldly.
"I'm sorry, I sincerely apologize for the unpleasant meeting between us before, please believe me, these rude guards will be punished, it is a very great sin to offend the dignity of the nobles, I will punish them severely!" The questioner bowed gracefully to Robert, not forgetting to sneak in on the other person's expression.
"We invite you to come for that very important research topic." Under the dim light, the eyes of more than a dozen people gathered in a circle became eager, but one of them, who was old and steady, and the older stopped their eager questioning, and under his majestic gaze, these people all held their hearts, sat firmly, and patiently waited for each other's answers.
The questioner was obviously more patient than the others present, and he walked in circles around the chief of science like a wolf in the moor, like a wolf in the moor.
"Regarding that scientific research topic, I am here, and I can give you a clear answer!" Robert swallowed his saliva carefully, and seemed to push the matter out immediately without petitioning, but under the pressure of everyone's eyes, the defense line in his heart was crumbling little by little. The attentive person has seen that there is a trace of sweat on his forehead. "Since our scientific research team received the test subjects in December last year, we have been putting aside other topics and focusing on the task assigned to us by our superiors, and after more than half a year of careful study, the current progress has reached 33%!"
A wave of disappointed boos rang out in the crowd, but quickly dissipated.
"We've got all the most advanced equipment and personnel available to you! In order to help you complete the experiment, even hundreds of technicians from the top tech officer have joined in! How did you give us such an answer after wasting more than half a year? The questioner raised his voice.
"I can't stress it enough that you're being too demanding! We can't crack the genetic sequences of these variants without virion samples! I can responsibly say that whoever has carefully studied those variants will come to the same conclusion! Robert is still arguing with reason, and he is not willing to be reprimanded for his efforts by others for nothing!
"We are very disappointed by your incompetence! Originally, I thought I would save some face for you in front of the Presbyterian Church, or rather, I thought I should give you one more chance to prove your ability! Shaking his finger, the questioner looked disappointed, "Unfortunately, your attitude has discouraged me from this idea, and I'm sorry, Mr. Robert, as the chief officer here, I, Ferdinand, and Fered can no longer support your research work." As if to give the doomed head of science and technology a fatal blow, Ferdinand, the bearded man with long shawl hair, turned back gracefully again, with a shallow smile on his face: "Distinguished shareholders, beautiful and noble lady, I have repeatedly tried to justify this gentleman's failure, but my efforts have not been rewarded accordingly. Think about it, I sacrificed three elite wings to get such a valuable mutant sample! If you count the previous ones, then at least one-tenth of our troops in Asia! But what did I do so hard for? Ferdinand's body rotated slightly, and he slyly observed every change in the faces of the people seated, "I tried, I did, but I didn't do it?" Ferdinand smiled softly, mimicking Robert's tone, and a few soft smiles met his performance. Robert unconsciously pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and he looked nervously at his knees, as if there was an excuse for him to talk about comfort. "My dear Robert, as your most trusted colleague and partner, I reserve the right to adjudicate against you, but, in the interest of being responsible for the company, and for all our valued shareholders, I have to regret to call for a vote on how to deal with your failure! As an initiator! I think you're at fault! ”
"I'll pass!"
"Me too!"
"Guilty!"
"Guilty!"
This kind of down-the-ground voting may seem unfair in the eyes of the Chinese, but this is exactly where the essence of Western-style democracy lies, one vote per person, vote on the spot!
"I don't have anything more to say, I just did my best!" Robert raised his head, his stubborn eyes did not flinch at him, and he stared straight at Ferdinand. "You have the same science group, but why don't you dare to take on this subject? Are you shirking your responsibilities? And then wait on the sidelines to see my jokes? As if having found the strength to fight back, Robert regained a bit of his senses.
"You have said all the big things, wasted a huge amount of scientific research resources, but failed to fulfill the trust of your shareholders! Hey! "Baring his teeth, Ferdinand made no secret of his pride, and he looked carried away." I regret to announce that you will be temporarily detained at the temporary base at the Cape of Good Hope, and in thirty-eight hours, a further decision will be made on your handling of you. Ferdinand, who had regained his aristocratic demeanor, curled the beard at the corner of his mouth triumphantly, "Also, I implore all the shareholders here to give me a chance to tell you some interesting facts about these mutants!" Two soldiers wrapped in battle armor appeared in the foyer, and no one paid any attention to the doomed frustrated Tech Chief, and Robert disappeared around the corner of the hall escorted by the escorts.
Almost all of the participants were staring at the man with an aristocratic smile in front of them.
"Those who roam the medieval wilderness, concocted by the Church, as we all know, allow me to be petty blasphemy." Ferdinand humbly apologized, "The ghosts that existed in oil paintings, legends, and tales in reality, have really appeared in the present world!" Yes, that word has not been confined by the church! But, ladies and gentlemen, there is no such stumbling dogmatic admonition in the field of science, especially as far as we can control! Ferdinand took a glass of bright red wine from one of the waiters, and behind him, a dozen or so well-mannered waiters with white masks stood neatly, "You're welcome, as if you were in your own home, these wines are collector's editions, all of them are the treasures of a sixteenth-century manor owner!" Please enjoy it slowly! As soon as the words ended, the waiters poured out, each with their own object of service, and on their trays were cups of pure wine that were extremely red, and a series of clinking glasses reverberated in the magnificent hall amid the sound of the shareholders wishing each other.
"Thank you, thank you for being able to support me during these frustrating days! I, Ferdinand, can only prepare a little wine to thank you! "It's still a polite bow, it's still that aristocratic smile. This man with a luxurious appearance continued his performance without being humble or arrogant, and his humble and emotional attitude won the applause of the crowd.
"Below, I will show you some confidential information that we have mastered under the circumstances of our many efforts!" At Ferdinand's signal, huge holographic projections began to appear, and at the same time, a virtual woman appeared in this scene that could be brought to life without the aid of 3D glasses, and began to give a detailed explanation to the guests. In the projection, there is a lot of analysis of Zhang Jiaming's forces, the main key part is still aimed at the strange transformation ability, in the key part of the video, it is still Zhang Jiaming's three subordinates, including his dear son Gan'er --- Lu Dingsheng's body, however, after plundering those corpses, they did not complete the research on the mutation, and one-third of the results still could not satisfy the shareholders.
Just when everyone was attracted by these film and television materials, in the side room next to the hall, Ferdinand was sweating profusely and was watched by a shadow, which had no specific form, and the lights in the room were all obscured, and only a trace of scarlet could be seen fluttering in the eyes of the mysterious figure.
"You're going to take over this research completely?" There was silence for a long time, and then the strange figure asked.
"Yes, my honorable master! I am fighting for the right to deal with this research exactly as you instructed! Ferdinand didn't dare to slack off, he tried to look confident.
"You'd better not let us down, the importance of the Daywalkers to our guards, you already know that we need their services, no matter what method you use, you must do everything in your power to get their power to my advantage." There was unmistakable harshness in the questioner's cold words. "Those mortals, did they doubt you?"
"Bigadom is already suspicious, the slave trader in South America, and several arms dealers in Eastern Europe, they have all been suspicious of me, but I have covered them up, and I believe that even if they ,,,,,," Ferdinand quickly defended, but the latter stopped his chatter majestically.
"I believe in your ability to make an important contribution to the re-emergence of our race, and I look forward to more from you!" As soon as the concluding words came out, Ferdinand couldn't help but bow his head respectfully, and bowed again, "I swear in the name of my ancestors, you will never be disappointed, my, master,,,,,"
