Chapter 113: Black Panther (5)
At 6:00 that night, the auditorium of the Shanghai Naval Military Academy was brightly lit. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With a long table under the rostrum, a white tablecloth on the table, a porcelain plate with freshly baked meat, and a row of red wines, the colonel looked as if he had really emptied his cellar...... Almost the entire academy was here, including the Executive Department and the Hummingbird Hunting Team, all of whom sat on either side of the long table, chatting in twos and threes with wine glasses.
Reich sat at the table in a simple white shirt, and he actually wanted to look better...... But he repaired the heavy attack mech all day today, and his original work clothes were stained with jet-black engine oil and rust, he couldn't wear that kind of clothes to participate in this kind of drinking party, otherwise he would be kicked out by the security guards, and Rehe spent two hours taking a shower, and his whole body still smelled of engine oil...... In the end, there were only five minutes left for him, and Reich put on a piece of what he could see and crawled all the way.
Rehe probed, he saw the storm and heavy artillery in the crowd, Rehe was hesitating to say hello to his troublesome sister, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and everyone was stunned.
A straight pillar of light hit the rostrum, and the old man stood in a white circle of light.
Maxwell Hugh Sean straightened his bow tie slightly, raised his head and chest, and stepped onto the stage with a goblet in his hand, smiling and waving to everyone in the audience, as elegant as an old British gentleman.
The former U.S. Marine Corps colonel rarely appears in the public eye, as the leader of the entire security zone, he spends most of his time sitting in his office, and ordinary people have many fantasies and speculations about the image of Maxwell Shawn himself, and in most accounts, this old man is a serious and hard-hearted professional soldier, a powerful and decisive dictator, like Stalin who led the Soviet Union to victory in the Great Patriotic War and defeated Nazi Germany.
It was the first time Maxwell Shaun had appeared in public in the three years since the establishment of the Security Zone, and his outfit was somewhat unexpected, his hair was meticulously combed, hairspray, his beard was clean-shaven, and he wore a black tuxedo, like the conductor of some symphony orchestra, and the colonel was greeted with enthusiastic applause when he appeared...... Because almost everyone thought that he would appear in a military uniform with medals all over his chest.
Applause erupted, and the old man stood in the center of the rostrum with his wine glass, and raised his right hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Maxwell cleared his throat.
"Oh...... It's here again. Reich sat down and rolled his eyes, "On such occasions, the leaders of the whole world are virtuous...... Nonsense. ”
Luo Cheng sat on the side, and the black suitcase was placed on the chair next to him.
"But the Colonel is different."
"What's the difference?" Luo Cheng poured himself wine, and the vermilion clear liquid rippled in the goblet.
"The colonel never talks nonsense." Luo Cheng turned his head and glanced at him, "Drink less, you have to take over tonight." ”
"Three years ago, when I started this safe zone, I thought...... Where is our future? The old man spoke, and the audience fell silent, "Or is there really a way out for humans?" Friends, we live in a cruel time, look around you, only ruins, night, blood and death, the living dead and hunters are eyeing out the walls of the safe zone, each of them wants to tear us to shreds and gouge out our hearts for dinner. ”
"In front of monsters, humans are undoubtedly weak, in the past three years, we have built the Great Wall with flesh and blood, we have suffered heavy casualties, and the tombstones can fill the lawn behind the academy, but all the sacrifices are worthwhile! No one will die in vain, friends, look around you, not only ruins, night and death, but also comrades and compatriots, we are connected by blood, we are united, looking at you, I can find the future of humanity. ”
The colonel looked around and pointed to his chest.
"Where is it? Over here! In the hearts of each of us, it is courage, fearlessness, sacrifice, and hope! I was born in the greatest country, the greatest people, and served in the greatest army in the world, and everybody in that force was ready to die for others at every moment, and I believe that is true of everybody in this room, because everybody here comes from a great nation, from a great people, because that is the source of our strength, because we are all human beings. ”
The old man drank the wine from the cup of his head, clenched his fists and roared, and his majestic voice echoed over the auditorium: "Yes, this is a war, a cruel war, although we have no way back, but we have to tell those demons that human beings are the toughest, greatest, and most powerful race in the world, and that we have an indomitable spirit and fearless courage, and this quality is indestructible...... They can destroy our flesh, but they can't break our backbones! We will defeat and will defeat those demons, and this is the strength of our human race! ”
The audience stood still for a second, and then everyone stood up with thunderous applause.
"Oh......" Reich muttered a clapping, "I didn't expect the old man to be ambiguous in stirring up feelings." ”
Luo Cheng ignored him, the young sniper drank to himself, his eyes lowered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Xun leaned against the wall, looked around to make sure that no one was there, took out the black card from his pocket, and swiped through the curfew.
With a "drip-" sound, the green light on the door lock kept on, and with a "click", the door popped open.
Lu Xun touched it sideways, closed the door of the warehouse with his backhand, and then turned on the light.
"What gear do you need?" Lao Jia asked.
"Automatic rifles, grenade launchers, and five spare magazines." Lu Xun vacated his satchel and began to pick up weapons from the wall, he took down an M4 automatic rifle, mounted a grenade launcher on the Picatinny rail, and put it in his bag together, grabbing five more magazines from the ammo box and throwing them in.
"And defensive grenades, two." Lu Xun's movements are swift, and he looks like a habitual thief.
"Infrared night vision." Lu Xun put on the night vision device and tried it, and then put it in his arms.
"Rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles?" Lao Jia asked, "Anti-tank mines?" ”
"No, I don't." Lu Xun shook his head, "The weight is too big, I can't carry it alone...... There are also blasting lines. ”
Lu Xun pried open the box and threw a string of blasting ropes into his satchel.
"Are you going to rob the house?" Lao Jia was speechless.
"yes." Lu Xun nodded, "It's just to go to the monster's house to rob." ”
"If you're going to search for hunters, you should bring a life detector." Lao Jia said.
"Life detectors? Is it something that can detect someone's breath and heartbeat? Lu Xun was stunned, "The director said that it only works for humans, not for hunters...... There's a hunter-only one in the director's lab, but it's as big as a piledriver, so how can I take it? ”
Lao Jia was speechless.
"There are also individual soldiers carrying equipment...... "Lu Xun took off the equipment and looked through it, and was about to throw it into his satchel when a voice suddenly came out of the earphones.
"You are so bold that you dare to enter the arsenal to steal."
With a shake, the Ranger threw the equipment on the ammunition box, and all the boxes of bullet clips were overturned.
Without thinking, Lu Xun raised his hands and shouted surrender, don't shoot.
"Pitch a fart." Headphones whispered, "It's me." ”
"Phoebe?" Lu Xun was stunned.
"Yes." Phoebe nodded, "You're so bold, you dare to enter the arsenal to steal, don't you know that there are cameras in the warehouse?" ”
Lu Xunshou shuddered, raised his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a hemispherical glass cover on the corner of the wall, and the red light in the cover flashed and disappeared.
Damn it...... Careless, I didn't find a camera here last time I followed Zhao Gaolai.
"Honestly, what are you doing in the warehouse?" Phoebe asked, "And stealing guns and ammunition, trying to take advantage of the academy assembly to serve them?" ”
"No, no, no, I don't have anything to think about, I just want to investigate the academy's sewers." Lu Xun replied, "These weapons are only for self-defense. ”
"Investigation?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I suspect that there may be any suspicious creatures in the academy, and I am a little worried, so I went to check ......"
"I see, grab your gear and go." Phoebe interrupted him, "I'll support you every step of the way. ”
"Huh? Believe me? "Lu Xun was stunned, the organization actually trusted himself so much?" Still support me? Wouldn't you be locked up if you get caught stealing into the warehouse? ”
"If I hadn't been here, you'd have been pinned to the ground by security by now, and I've taken the rest of the room." Phoebe said, "I've noticed you from the moment you stepped out of the library, and I don't go to the drinking party to sneak around with your satchel...... But I don't think you have the courage to make a mess, so let's go! ”
Lu Xun picked up the equipment and ran all the way.
