Section 17 Vortex

Two days later, Iron Slag's team followed the Beast Legion to the defense zone indicated in the mission. Since the iron slag is a reinforcement, there is no need to be stationed on the defensive line. The camp marked by General Li Qi was three thousand meters away from the encirclement, and Iron Slag could choose to retreat or join the battle according to the actual battle situation.

The defense area of the War Beast Legion is in the encirclement, although they are already 2KM ahead, but after the iron slag stops advancing, they have to continue to walk forward for 1KM to reach the mission defense area. At this time, the regimental commander sitting in the jeep, Alan Rudolph, was looking intently at the tactical map in his hand. When he found that the green cursor of the "little school detective" had stopped moving, he immediately cursed: "This Far Eastern mouse! It's cunning. ”

Just then, his communicator rang. Connected to the video communication, it was a good-looking girl with a brown ponytail.

"Miss Ziying, I'm so glad to see you." Alan said flatteringly.

"How's it going?" The girl asked with a cold face.

"That guy is too alert, he keeps following behind and refuses to meet, and we can't find a chance to make a move." Alan explained.

"Solve it as soon as possible, this good errand of five hundred credits ......," the girl reminded with wide eyes, "but you are not the only one who wants to do it." ”

"Please believe in the strength of our War Beast Legion, when we get to the defense area, I can also pull a friend, this is safer." Alan said hurriedly.

"The fewer people who know, the better, we only have a one-line contact with you, as for how to divide the interests, it is up to you to decide." The girl emphasized.

"No problem, please rest assured Miss Ziying......" Alan said with an oath, but before he could finish his sentence, he hung up the video communication. Looking at the dark screen, Lord Allen gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "Far Eastern girl, when the lord gets up one day, I will buy you back and fry and cook you, so that you can have a good taste of the lord's cooking." ”

Just as Allen was scolding, Iron Slag and his party had already unloaded their supplies and began to build a camp and a defensive line. After three hours, the camp was much quieter. Everyone held three canned meat and half a glass of Richie VS brandy, and gathered in twos and threes to eat meat and drink wine and chat. By this time, the camp's basic defensive line had been built, consisting of trenches, barbed wire, and bunker walls. For most people, the environment is much safer now, with friendly forces in front and relatively safe areas in the rear. As a result, the atmosphere of the whole camp has become a lot more relaxed.

However, for iron slag, the more crowded the place, the more dangerous it is. Alan's unusual behavior made him suspicious, and he couldn't come up with a clue after thinking about it. After dinner, he left the camp alone with his weapon on his back and a burlap bag in tow, sneaking towards the garrison of the War Beast Legion.

Shortly after leaving the camp, Iron Slag opened the burlap bag and poured out the corpses of two cries. This was hunted this morning, and the corpse is fairly fresh. He spat twice, and a moment later, twenty or so scout ants emerged from the corpse of the cripping frog, and then under his command they dived into the dense forest, and gathered around the camp of the War Beast Legion.

About a quarter of an hour later, a scout ant crawled rapidly against the ground, through a dozen pinches of bushes in a row, and came to a relatively empty area. However, the emptiness here is only relative to the size of the ants. As far as the eye can see, the surface of the ground has been emptied of ferns and shrubs, leaving only dense evergreen broadleaf forests.

Losing cover from vegetation, the Scout ants slowed down and slid slowly along the uncleared edges. At this moment, two men in armor suddenly appeared in front of them. They walked side by side and walked behind a large banyan tree. The scout ant turned its triangular head, and its hundreds of compound eyes locked onto the suspicious target, and then cautiously followed......

"Tell me, what is it that makes the gods mysterious, can't wine be said in the camp? Our two regiment commanders sneaked out, and those who didn't know thought we were. A strong man wearing the first generation of psionic power armor said in a rough voice.

"McCrow, I heard that you were injured last time in Darktown, is that the case?" Another young man dressed in a second-generation psionic power armor asked with a teasing tone.

"Get out!" The strong man burst into tears, turned around and left.

"Wait, old friend, why are you so impatient?" The young man hurriedly grabbed the strong man and said.

"That's what you're calling me for? If I were to replace it with someone else, I would have slapped it a long time ago! The strong man said angrily.

"Do you want revenge? Now there is a good errand, his head is worth 400 credits, and we are 200 each, how about it? The young man said slowly.

"Kill him? Are you crazy! Classmates killed each other, and it was the eve of the Great War, and if they were caught, they would be sentenced to death. The strong man frowned and said calmly. The head of the regiment is always the commander of the regiment, and the anger is only done for others to see, and it is not really irrational.

"What if someone up there takes care of it?" The young man smiled mysteriously and said.

"Who!" Suddenly, the strong man's face was cloudy, and he seemed to be trying to think about the inner connection of things.

"You don't need to know, you just need to know, kill this person without any follow-up trouble." The young man said confidently.

"If you don't make it clear, I'm not interested." The strong man shook his head, took a step back as he spoke, and distanced himself from the young man.

"Take it easy, old friend." Seeing this, the young man spread his hands, sighed, and said, "This is a commission from the Secretary-General, she is the leader of the internal review team, if there is any trouble in the future, she will also send someone down to investigate, understand?" ”

"Secretary-General?" The strong man frowned and thought about it, and asked rhetorically.

"That's right, it's the secretary general, the secretary general of the student union." The young man lowered his voice and said in a strengthened tone.

The strong man suddenly grinned, and was about to agree. But at this moment, there was a muffled sound not far away! In an instant, the strong man's smile froze, he lowered his head in shock, looked at the big blood hole in the bowl on his chest, and suddenly his eyes went black, and he fell straight down.

At the same time, at the moment of the flash of blue light, the young man fled towards the camp without looking back. I saw him leap slightly, and two light blue flames erupted from his back, flying rapidly against the ground like meteors, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

After a few seconds, the iron slag came under the big banyan tree. As soon as his mind moved, a group of large ants with red carapace swarmed, and within a few minutes, the corpse of the strong man was reduced to a single white bone. Iron Slag picked up the first-generation psionic power armor on the ground, shook the bones out, and then commanded the soldier ant army to scatter the bones into the depths of the dense forest, while he dragged the power armor back to the camp.

This first-generation psionic power armor had a large hole in its chest and back. Although it looks like it is scrapped, in the hands of connoisseurs, there may be a chance to restore most of the features. The black market price of psionic power armor is quite high, and he plans to bring this item back to Jusang to sell. Anyway, the person has already been killed, and troublesome things will definitely follow.

He didn't hear the conversation between the two very clearly just now, but he could hear that the other party was plotting to kill him. So he struck first and attacked directly. He is a simple man, since he is going to fight, he will fight to the end. He was a bully in Iron Mountain Town, and he had never been afraid of anyone.

It didn't take long for General Rich's request for communication to arrive. Iron Slag scratched his hair and connected to the video.

"Ten minutes ago, Alan Rudolph, the leader of the War Beast Legion, accused you of murdering the commander of the Black Knights of the North, Macro, can you do this?" General Li Qi asked solemnly with a blushing face.

"What?" Iron slag looked inexplicable.

"Alan Rudolph, the leader of the Beast Legion, accuses you of murdering McTro, the leader of the Black Knights of the North." General Richie repeated.

"He's got something wrong with his brain, huh? I stayed at camp and never went out. Iron Slag said with a frown.

"Well......" General Richie seemed relieved, and continued, "I will soon join the four-way call between Alan Rudolph and Jerome, the deputy head of the Black Knight of the North, and ask you to confront him on the spot in my sight." ”

"Hmm." Iron Slag nodded.

After a while, the communication screen split into four panels, showing the head videos of General Richie, Iron Slag, Alan Rudolph, and Jerome.

"Murderer, murderer!" Alan shouted as he pointed at the screen.

"Our regimental commander just fought with you, and he was injured by you, and you actually ...... How ...... So vicious. Jerome said with a choked voice.

"I've never been out of the base." Iron Slag said seriously.

"He lied!" Eli shouted excitedly.

"Please keep your emotions in check." General Li Qi said in a deep voice.

"I want to ask, who first found out that Commander Macroh had been murdered?" Iron Slag asked expressionlessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent......

"Captain Macro, who is he with in the end?" Iron Slag asked again.

Suddenly, the atmosphere seemed to freeze. Alan only felt a chill down his spine, and cold sweat instantly soaked through his clothes. He noticed that Macro's deputy head Jerome was staring at the screen with a strange gaze. Sa Chirp's understatement put the burden on him. At this moment, he is the first suspect. There were only three people at the scene of the murder, and everyone saw him and McCrow leave the camp, while Sa Chirp was seen by no one but him. This means that unless Sacht's subordinates come forward to testify, there is not a shred of evidence.

Just now, he didn't dare to go to the scene to investigate in person, so he only sent his subordinates to collect evidence. However, he had no hope for it. According to his observations in the past two days, Sa Chirp is alert, shrewd, and decisive, and such a person will not leave any evidence. Even if you go to the scene, it is just a formality, and it will not make much sense.

"Is my question difficult to answer?" Iron Slag asked lightly.

"It seems that today's accusations will not have any results, and I will report the situation to the Academy Alliance later, and the review team will soon arrive at the scene to investigate the whole story, and I believe that they will definitely find the real murderer and give a notarized ruling." General Li Qi paused, changed his words, and continued, "In addition, this is a period of human foreign war, and you must focus on carrying out your tasks, and you must not go wrong at this critical moment. "Otherwise, you will be charged with 'crimes against humanity' by the High Military Court, the maximum penalty of which is the death penalty!" ”

General Li Qi paused for a moment, stared at the screen with round eyes, and finally asked in a deep voice, "Do you understand?" ”

"Understood." "Understood." Among the responses of the three people who "understand ......", some are bland, some are unwilling, and some are helpless.
