"What about the other superpowers?" Snake thought of the great powers that possessed nuclear weapons.

"The Russian Federation, for example, has always maintained a considerable nuclear force. Complete nuclear disarmament is simply a fantasy. To sustain our U.S. nuclear deterrence policy, we need a weapon with overwhelming superiority. Baker said weakly.

"That's Metal Gear Solid?" Snake asked.

"Yes, you also know that our industry has been hit hard due to the drastic reduction in the defense budget, all because of the so-called 'peace'!" After saying this in an excited voice, more sweat broke out on Baker's head, and his face was a little pale.

"Recently, I do hear about a lot of big arms companies being bought or merged with each other." Snake has heard of this.

"That's right, since we lost the order for the new generation of the Air Force's main fighter, the alloy equipment system is the last trump card in our hands, and we are forced to develop the alloy equipment into a 'shadow plan' because of the situation."

"Project Shadow?" Snake hadn't heard of the plan yet.

"It's a plan funded by the Department of Defense's shadow budget, so that you don't have to go through the rambling lists, the time to start production and lead time can be drastically reduced, and no one will be in trouble with you, including the good-hearted liberals at the Military Oversight Council." Baker felt his eyes feel a little heavy, and he closed them and opened them again.

"Bribe, huh?"

"That's just a normal way to do business, and Metal Gear will be officially adopted soon......" Baker could finish his sentence when he was interrupted by an impatient Snake.

"Less nonsense! I'm not here to hear your grievances. ”

"But what do you soldiers know...... Take it, that's what you're here for. Baker used his intact hand to pull a disc from the compartment of his clothes.

"What's that?" Snake reached out and took it, and it seemed to be a very ordinary disc.

"It's all in there, the main hard drive has been damaged in the shootout, and this disc is the only copy...... "Baker felt a little out of breath.

"What data?"

"All the experimental data obtained in this exercise, you don't need to wear garlic, I know they sent you to retrieve this, I finally managed to hide from that sadist, the rebels don't know that there is such a plate...... You're going to give it to ...... Jim, give it to your boss, my ID card is also for you...... Doors with security level 2 can be opened. Baker's voice became hoarse, and his eyes seemed bloodshot.

"Can you still go?"

"No need, just go ahead and do it yourself...... They've reached my password and I've ...... them It's useless anymore. ”

"I want to ask you one more thing, what was that ninja just now? You seem to know what's going on. Snake asked

"Ninja ...... That's a little secret from the Foxhound troops...... An experimental genetic warrior, you know him. You should ask Dr. Naomi Hunt...... She knows better than I know. Baker said slowly.

"Dr. Naomi?!"

"You have to stop them anyway...... I'm going to vomit it...... Me and ...... The company must be finished!" Baker gasped as he felt weak.

"Why? Isn't Metal Gear Solid also based only on existing technology? What's wrong with it? Snake could also see that something didn't seem quite right with this guy.

"Metal Gear itself is fine, but ......" Baker's words had just begun when they suddenly broke, and an extremely pained expression appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?" Snake asked with concern, frowning.

Baker clutched his chest, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Snake, and said with his last breath, "You...... What did you do to me? Oh no! Outrageous...... Defense...... The bastards! They...... They still used this trick......"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Snake froze in place, Baker seemed to look a little like the pretended Anderson when he died.

"They, they're just using you...... Uh......" Baker didn't finish his sentence before he died.

Snake felt his pulse and confirmed that Baker was dead. Snake scolded, "Hell yes! ”

The prophetic boy's prophecy was fulfilled once again, and what happened was exactly what happened to him, from the encounter with the bobcat's revolver, to the cutting off of his hand, to Baker's death, it was proved that the prophet boy could accurately predict Snake's future. Snake doesn't even know who to trust now, he's got a deadly virus implanted in his body, and according to Prophet Kid, the Dead Fox virus will kill most of the people on the island, and he's the unwitting killer. The Department of Defense lied to him, Campbell must have lied to him, and that Dr. Naomi didn't tell the truth. Not to mention the rebels, deception is part of the war, but the government can't even lie to him. Is it really as the prophet boy said, in this conspiracy, all the forces are deceiving and using him, and he can only be a pawn and still at the mercy of others.

Snake sighed, things had become so sinister that he seemed to be risking his own life. That damn dead fox virus! The Prophet Kid said that he would make Snake die of early aging, and it is probably true. Then, there is only one way out, and that is the plan of the prophet boy.

Snake clenched his fists as he looked at the dead Baker and made a difficult decision.

He crouched down, pressed his ear to open the decoder, and said, "Campbell, did you hear me, now Baker is dead too!" ”

Campbell's face appeared on the micromonitor on Snake's wrist, and he said, "I don't know how this happened? ”

Snake said in an angry tone, "Don't lie! ”

Dr. Naomi interjected: "It looks like another myocardial infarction, but it's ......"

Snake said tentatively, "Could it be poisoning?" ”

Dr. Naomi replied, somewhat flustered, "This ...... There are many drugs that can be used in large doses...... Predisposes to myocardial infarction, such as potassium chloride or potassium superoxide, but can only be identified by autopsy,"

"Hell!" Snake scolded angrily, only he knew that this sentence was scolding Naomi for lying, obviously she injected the dead fox virus into Snake's body, but now she is pretending to be stupid!
