Section 23 Assassination
Three hours before the dawn of victory......
In the night, on the vast Gobi Desert, a mighty convoy appeared. When I looked closer, I saw wide rubber tires crushed against the dry and hard ground, throwing large patches of gravel and red dust backwards.
The fleet consisted mainly of dozens of large rear eight-wheeled trucks, which were fully loaded from the indentations of the tires. In front of the convoy was a jeep with an open canopy. This jeep has eight large wheels side by side, and it is a jeep dedicated to the commander of the academy corps, which is manufactured by Chubu Heavy Industries, with durable leather and reliable performance, and the model is "Monster".
At this moment, in the back seat of the monster jeep, two young men wearing second-generation psionic power armor were sitting.
"Captain Edward, thank you again for the reminder, if we had stayed there, we would probably have been wiped out by now." Said the young man in the right seat of the jeep.
"They're all good friends, as they should be." Edward Thorthy said, waving his hand.
"But...... Where are we going now? How do I feel that this is not the direction of the Wind Sand Castle......" the young man asked with some hesitation.
"We're on a detour...... Edward turned to the side, looked at the other party, and explained seriously, "You know, the scale of this insect tide is not small, and the Wind Sand Castle side will definitely send reinforcements over, after all, it is the fortress of the Templar princess, so we must take a detour, otherwise we will probably be temporarily called up in case of reinforcements, which is troublesome, isn't it?" ”
The young man pondered for a while, gave a thumbs up and sighed, "Captain Edward, you have considered the problem very comprehensively, and I apologize for my recklessness. ”
"We're all brothers, don't be polite to me." Edward patted the other man on the shoulder and said boldly.
About half an hour later, the convoy, guided by Edward Sosey, entered a sparse Dead Sea aspen forest.
After driving for a while, Edward suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and gave an order: "Stop, rest in place for fifteen minutes." ”
Then, the convoy slowly stopped, and Edward stepped out of the car, twisted his neck, and stretched his arms. The other regimental commander followed, glanced around at the dark Dead Sea aspen forest, and suggested, "I feel a little eerie here, so it's better to leave early." ”
......Before he could finish his words, Edward suddenly raised his pistol and pulled the trigger continuously at the young regimental commander who was close at hand. The latter reacted extremely quickly, and at the moment when the former fired, he turned and threw himself to the side.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" The three bullets all hit the back of the power armor, and suddenly clanged, and sparks flew everywhere.
The young regimental commander rolled on the sand several times in a row, then quickly put on the helmet of the power armor, got up, and shouted and asked, "Edward! What are you doing? ”
"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to introduce you to a big person." Edward put on his helmet and looked at the young commander.
"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? The young leader glanced around at the swarm of insects around him and asked sharply. He was wearing the second-generation psionic power armor, which had extremely high protective power, and after wearing the helmet, ordinary bullets could not cause him effective damage at all, and he could leave at any time, so he was not panicked at the moment, not to mention, he was not afraid of Edward, who was also a fourth-order psionic leader.
"A new era is coming, friend, I just want to give you a hand." Edward said calmly. As soon as the words fell, dust suddenly rose around the convoy. In the dim starlight, one by one, the cries burrowed out of the earth, shook off the dirt on the body of the worm, opened the bloody mouth, and let out a piercing hiss.
The soldiers in the rear noticed the abnormality, picked up their guns, and jumped off the truck.
"Calm down, don't shoot, they won't attack us." Edward picked up the walkie-talkie and said.
"You...... You've thrown yourself into the swarm! The young leader pointed at Edward and said in horror.
"So what?" Edward asked rhetorically.
"Edward! You're really crazy! As he spoke, the young regiment leader leaned over, and two blue flames erupted from behind him, and they immediately rose into the sky. However, he had only been a few meters above the ground when an invisible force suddenly fell and exploded in his mind. He let out a scream and fell from the sky.
At this moment, his brain seemed to be penetrated by thousands of needles, and the extreme pain made him lose all resistance, and desperately held his head and rolled and struggled on the ground.
After a few moments, the pain subsided and he regained his senses. But when he raised his head again, at some point, there was an "woman" in the open space in front of him.
The woman was unusually tall, covered in a crimson carapace that reflected a snowy glow in the night. She is very beautiful, but this beauty has a suffocating enchantment. It was as if it was not a human standing in front of him, but a demon.
"Surrender, or die." She asked faintly.
"This is the great Crimson Queen, Your Majesty Thrazze." Edward half-knelt on the ground and introduced himself to the young leader.
"You're the legendary Seraph, Serazer Casey?" The young regimental leader looked at her and asked.
"Presumptuous! Is Her Majesty's name your name? Edward's face changed, and he shouted.
"Well, that's my name." Serazer raised his hand and motioned for Edward to step aside. She needs to encircle the psykers in the human race and form her own "post-insect guard".
In the gene chain of the bee ant colony, the postworm that reaches the gold level will awaken a special gene, which can make the postworm give birth to a small number of elite combat units, and this kind of unit is called the postworm guard.
However, compared to the queen bee and queen, the special genes of the queen's awakening are somewhat different, as the females of most intelligent creatures are reluctant to give birth to combat units directly, and are generally left to the mastership of subordinates. Therefore, the special genes of the queen's awakening are usually not related to fertility.
Although Serazar is the queen of the Crimson level, she was originally a human holy order, so she awakened a special gene many years ago. Her special ability is called "Infect", and as the name suggests, she can use her swarm genes to corrupt and infect alien creatures, and improve their combat ability by changing their body structure.
"You were originally a human, but why did you throw yourself into the swarm and become the target of thousands of people's spit?" The young regiment leader stood up and asked in a deep voice.
"In my opinion, humans are the reptiles who are the best at betraying their own kind of inferior creatures and surviving in the carbon life range." Serazer said calmly, "I ask you, are the worms human? ”
"Yes, they're human, but you're not anymore!" The young regiment commander replied through gritted teeth.
"But why are they abandoned by their own kind and live a miserable life?" Serazer asked.
"That's the Temple, and they don't represent all of humanity."
"Okay......" Serazer said with a helpless tone, as if convinced, and then smiled at the young leader, and his eyebrows were suddenly full of charm and irresistible temptation. Then, she casually shook her long dark red hair and asked softly, "Young man, let's change places and discuss this issue slowly, you say...... Isn't it good? ”
"Die!" Suddenly, a blue light flashed in the eyes of the young regiment leader, and he burst into cheers, and rushed towards Serazze!
The latter frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and grabbed it at will, and the former suddenly stiffened, standing straight in place, motionless.
"Finally you ask again, surrender, or die?" Serazawa asked expressionlessly.
"Phew! Traitor! Human's rebellion ......" In the middle of speaking, the voice stopped abruptly, and the young leader's head suddenly exploded, and the broken bones and soft tissues suddenly filled the entire helmet, and I saw that the red blood seeped out from the cracks in the power armor, forming shocking blood lines......
Serazer shook off the limp corpse, his lips opened lightly, and he only said one word: "Kill." At her command, a tidal wave of flies immediately poured into the convoy from all directions. Suddenly, gunshots, shouting, hissing, and wailing mingled to break the silence before dawn......
At the same time, at the other end of the Gate of Set, in a small floating silver city with countless crimson banners hanging upside down in the north of Quicksand Town, in the underground interrogation room of a building with more than fifty floors, two torture officers were looking at a middle-aged man covered in whip marks and with open skin. The middle-aged man, about thirty or forty years old, was short and slightly chubby, tied to a large iron cross, with his head bowed, as if he was dying.
"I don't think I can fight anymore, and if I fight again, I'll die." Said the torture officer, who was standing on the left.
"I really can't see it, a profit-seeking businessman has such a hard mouth." The torture officer on the right sighed.
"Anyway, let's hand over the report first, at least we now know that he is from the Northern Wilderness and was born in Tieshan Town." Said the torture officer on the left.
Moments later, the two torture officers handed the report to a blonde major.
After reading the report, Field frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to the two torture officers, "Go check the Academy Alliance's aircraft rental records to see who is related to Iron Mountain Town." ”
"Yes." The two torture officers responded in unison, and then left the office.
It didn't take long for them to land on the terminal of the Academy Alliance, and found the flight records of the porcupine, match, and Tuoba rental aircraft to Tieshan Town in the Northern Wilderness Continent, and then reported it to Major Field.
"We've checked, these three people are members of the Wolf Clan, and Captain Sa's subordinates."
"It seems that Biqinglan didn't lie to us this time......" Field pondered for a while, waved his hand lightly, and gave an order: "Send someone to arrest him immediately, the sooner the better." ”
"Sir, the information shows that Sa Chirp is from the War Bear Temple, and we don't have enough evidence at the moment, so arresting him like this will cause ......," a torture officer hesitated.
"Well......" said Field, who thought for a moment, "we can't just arrest him, but General Eugene is urging him very hard, and we must complete the task as soon as possible." ”
"Sir, with the evidence gathered so far, although it is not enough to convict Sa Chirp through the normal process, for us within the Expeditionary Force, this evidence is enough to convince General Eugene." Another torturer analyzed.
"Hmm......" Field pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Send four experienced people to the chase apron of the Central Silver City Military Academy and wait, and once you find out where Sa Chirp is, kill him directly." ”
"Yes." The two torture officers saluted and turned to leave. As they reached the door, Field stopped them again and reinforced, "Be clean." ”
"Yes!" "Definitely!" The two torture officers bowed again and exited the office.
