Chapter 66: The Colonel

Mu Yang sat down next to the Russian soldier, took the vodka handed over by the other party and took a sip. The wine is slightly spicy in the throat.

He put down the bottle and lied without blinking: "I am a merchant of a caravan. While passing through this planet, he had to make a forced landing here due to energy problems. We've been attacked by out-of-control robots. All of them were killed, but I escaped into a cave and groped my way here. ”

It's just an NPC on the other side.,And what he said about it, this is a simulated battlefield, and he is a student who came in to test.,The other party naturally won't believe it.。 In order to get more information in the shortest possible time, Muyang temporarily added a persona to himself.

Fortunately, this Russian soldier has no ambition and doesn't care about Muyang's identity. He took another sip of his vodka, his bearded face flushed, "Then you're out of luck, Mr. Merchant." Originally, no one in your caravan, or my men, should have died on this bald planet, and there were so many wonderful young men, and I still remember the happy days with them. Blame the Colonel Germain he Γ—. ”

Mu Yang knew that the main event was coming. He said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"We mercenaries are employed by an asteroid's government to recover these antique 23rd-century military robots on St. Ford. It's like what you read in the newspapers, the planetary governments are engaged in an arms race, and the head of the asteroid government thinks that the waste can be used as a faΓ§ade. This project was contracted to us. The Russian veteran closed his eyes and fell into a deep memory, "To be honest, taking on this task was the worst decision I have ever made in my life." ”

"This was originally a very simple project, and it was not the first time that we mercenaries had been contracted. If we're lucky, we'll be able to recycle all the Ancient Robots before the end of the year and go home for Christmas. ”

"Before the arrival, our people made a simple assessment of the ancient robots, only to be surprised to find that they were originally programmed with complex instructions that our electronics experts could not decipher, and we didn't know what the robots would do. In preparation for the unexpected, we temporarily mobilized more than twice as many men to descend on the planet, and in the days that followed, we forged a large number of military ramparts to prevent any accidents during the recovery project. ”

Mu Yang knew in his heart that this was the reason for the existence of the huge ice well he saw in the watchtower, and this mercenary army had considered the possibility of an ancient cyborg riot before landing.

It's just that no matter how cautious they are, from a historical perspective, they still underestimate the degree of loss of control and combat power of the robots.

"You're all wiped out, aren't you?" Mu Yang said, "Tell me, what happened." ”

The Russians laughed presumptuously: "It's all to blame on that son of a bitch Colonel Germain, he is a disgrace to humanity." And the hellish group of scientists, the first time I saw them, I should have shoved their heads in their butts. ”

Mu Yang didn't speak, but quietly waited for the other party to continue talking.

"In the week leading up to Stefortt, we were able to recover twenty robots without incident, which was much faster than we had planned. But then the planet began to rain red, red, my child, I don't know if you've ever seen it, it's the kind of aunt-aunt in the red-light district*, with a strong corrosive rain. A specialty of the planet. ”

"I've seen it, and it's really scary." Mu Yang nodded.

The Russian servicemen raised their heads and wanted to drink, but the bottles were empty. He muttered a curse in Russian and tossed the bottle aside: "We were forced to huddle in the midst of military ramparts, spending our days gambling, drinking, fighting, and watching strippers put on shows. ”

"And then, a bunch of goddamn scientists landed on the planet."

"I still don't know who they're employed by and what the company behind them is. They told us that they had received complex instructions from the robots we had sent back to their home planet, and that they believed that these instructions symbolized a special alien civilization. Only that alien civilization can write about this kind of ghostly thing. What's it called? I forgot. Anyway, I said, if you want to come to research, then go and study, as long as you don't get in the way of Lao Tzu's subordinates to recover the task. ”

"Those bastard researchers lived on Lao Tzu's territory, ate Lao Tzu and used Lao Tzu, and finally offered to borrow a guide from Lao Tzu to dig deep in the desert. I hate these Germanic people who believe in Christianity, they are all hypocritical bastards. In that case, I'll let the bastard named Ford, who also has blue eyes and white skin, go, and you can take them to see them anyway. As long as you are farther away from Lao Tzu, the better. ”

Mu Yang recalled seeing the line of inscription on the watchtower desk: "He is the 'traitor' among you, right?" ”

"Damn Ford! He's going to hell! The Russians tried to make a thunderous appearance, but he was visibly drunk and a little staggering, "The Γ— don't know what he did with them in the depths of the desert, in short, what you see is the end, these waste robots riot like crazy without any stimulation." Fortunately, Lao Tzu had the foresight to spend a lot of money to build a lot of military barriers. This group of mechanical waste wanted to kill us, and not only did we hold out for a long time, but we also overturned half of their nest, haha, haha, hahahaha......"

The Russian burst out with a violent cough that interrupted him.

Mu Yang quietly heard now. So far, the words of the Russians have solved many of their own confusions, but again, there are many clues that have not been solved.

For example, what is the unknown civilization that researchers are trying to excavate? Is it the "Star Saint" engraved on the desk?

Was the rebellion of the ancient robots just an accident, or was it really related to these unknown civilizations?

That Colonel Germain, and what role did Ford play in it? Was he just an innocent victim, or was he really a mole as the Russians claimed, as the lettering on the desk was referring to?

"So, how can you be sure that it was Colonel Ford that caused those robots?"

Mu Yang waited for the other party for a long time, and the Russian didn't say anything after coughing. He had to take the initiative to speak and ask the other party to continue.

The Russians were still lying quietly on the rock wall, their eyes closed, as if they hadn't heard Muyang's words.

Mu Yang leaned over and found that before he knew it, the Russian had died.
