Chapter 071: Showdown, young man

readx;?(Happy New Year to book friends!) )

Lieutenant Colonel Judson was a little overwhelmed. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he said, "Oh...... This person...... He's—He's certainly not a minion, I've long realized it...... So I kept an eye on his every move, and he called, ......"

Wu Ming slowly sat up straight, letting Lieutenant Colonel Judson's panic slowly fade away in the background, and just looked at "Jose who was doing nothing".

Wu Ming now confirmed that the old guy must be much more effective than his reputation, it seems that there are too many errors circulating in this world, those hearsay often lead people to illusions, and in reality, everyone is an extremely complex individual, it is difficult for you to be clever enough to label anyone as a mere one.

"Your name is Wu Ming, right?"

The Major General smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes piled up, which also hid the deep meaning in his eyes.

"Yes, Major General Susaeta." Wu Ming nodded slightly, and did not give any more response.

"Just call me José, you're not a soldier, so we can talk on an equal footing, even though you claim to be Dapa's man." The Major General put his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly, but he did not look aggressive at all, but more like a kind elder, engaged in an ordinary conversation with his children and grandchildren.

"Okay, José." Wu Ming was not polite, his arm was propped up on the ground, he slowly straightened up, and sat his butt firmly on the wooden chair opposite the table.

"Don't you wonder why I know your name?" When José asked such a question, he waved his hand to Lieutenant Colonel Judson and motioned to open the shackles on Wu Ming and the others.

Judson hesitated: "I'm sorry, Major General, but we had 139 soldiers wounded at their hands this night......"

"I've got the final say here, right?" José patiently glanced at him, and the unconvinced non-commissioned officer complied.

"I know your name because someone told me." Jose looked at Wu Ming again, and thoughtfully answered the question just now, "And that person has become your guarantor, and I must let you go." ”

"Oh......" Wu Ming rubbed his wrist that had been strangled out of the seal, but he made a mistake in his heart. Who would have such a strong force that after the unculpable mistake that his side had just committed, he could still justifiably ask for someone from the military.

"Actually, that kind of move is not superfluous at all, and I originally planned to do it that way, because you have already done me a great favor, and it is likely that there is an even bigger favor that is about to help me." Jose sighed softly, a hint of worry and helplessness in his expression.

Wu Ming was even more confused: "You said I already did you a favor?" ”

Jose nodded. "There's a secret room hidden in there, we never know, we've been kept in the dark for so long......" He paused for a moment, his glass shaking in front of his eyes, obviously with some unspeakable distress, "It's enough for you to remember this—you've done me a great favor, and that's enough to offset the damage you've done to my children." Of course, I'm still angry, but I can not pursue it, but there is a premise......"

"If only I do you a bigger favor?" Wu Ming followed the words of the major general, although he didn't understand anything about all this, but since the opportunity to get out was now, what reason was there to refuse?

"That being said, but I guess that's actually what you're here for." The Major General put the glass back, and the expression on his face became more serious.

"So you've already guessed the purpose of our coming here......" Wu Ming smiled awkwardly and turned his head to look at the fierce mastiff. But the mastiff was still unhelpful, not even a look, just sitting next to Bobu to help take care of the injury.

"I think you should check this out." José tapped on the table.

Just as Wu Ming poked his head over to see if there was something unusual in the grain of the pine wood, or the projector on the table was about to demonstrate some novelty, he realized that he was completely wrong - it was just Jose sending a signal to his subordinates. As soon as the door opened, two soldiers walked in with an old LCD TV.

"I'm sorry, young man, we old guys can't keep up with the times, not to mention that I'm generally regarded as an old fool by the outside world, how do they say, 'José who does nothing', right?"

José laughed self-deprecatingly as the soldiers plugged in the televisions.

Wu Ming didn't dare to answer, because he hadn't figured out the situation yet, for fear that he would fall into a trap if he was not careful. He has tasted the bitterness of the past half of the day, and he should have more experience and not act rashly.

Finally, the picture came up. It seemed to be a satellite overhead picture, one after the other.

"This is the latest photo from the Western Theater Headquarters in the last 36 hours." José put on reading glasses, pointed at the TV screen, and patiently explained, "This picture is the southern suburbs of Selimiye, this is the abandoned Catavia, and this is Potamos, which has no inhabitants anymore...... The last one is not far from my hometown, near Lorca in the former Esbani. ”

At the end of the demonstration of more than 30 photos, the old gentleman did not rush to take off the glasses, but just put them on the bridge of his nose, his eyes were lifted upward, and he looked at Wu Ming through the edge of the frame: "What kind of connection is between these boring pictures, you must be able to see it at a glance, right?" ”

Wu Ming fell silent.

The photographs looked boring, almost a thousand ruins and no man's land, with no suspicious targets on them. But if they are arranged chronologically, they will form a zigzag path, and the final point of that path is here, Rabart!

The old gentleman heard the answer from Wu Ming's silence. He took off his reading glasses, put them on the table, raised his palm and pinched his eyes, and at that moment, his brow finally furrowed.

"Invite the two of them out first, take good care of them, they are innocent." José whispered to Judson, "And a few of you, also wait outside first, I need to have a few private words with this young man." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Judson saw that his face was wrong, and he did not dare to hesitate any longer, and several soldiers raised the television, and hurried out of the interrogation room with the mastiff and Bob.

Jose sighed at this time: "They all think that sending me here to retire is the most appropriate arrangement, because I have been a soldier for 43 years and have never caused trouble." But now it seems that the bureaucrats have miscalculated, and I have miscalculated, that the big mess has been caused right under my nose, and that an even bigger mess seems inevitable. ”

Wu Ming sat up straighter, still thinking about how to make up a lie as soon as possible to round it all out, but the old general didn't give him a chance, but instead pushed his analysis to the point where it was infinitely close to the truth.

"First, a powerful mutant zombie appeared in our Western War Zone, then our satellite tracking signals were interfered with and blocked one after another, then no man's land showed traces of new battles, and finally, it was you, a young man with a mysterious identity, who came here first and made a big deal...... What does this mean? You can tell me, right? ”

Jose spoke in a calm and clear voice, and his years of combat experience made his judgment of the overall situation extremely accurate, and when it came to this, Wu Ming really had no way to hide it.

"That mutant zombie is exactly what I'm targeting." Wu Ming sat down and replied with a serious expression, "I must get rid of him, because he will threaten the safety of the whole world." ”

The old general smiled faintly.

"Very well, I guessed correctly." He nodded twice, but shook his head again, "I heard people say this more than twenty years ago, and your attitude is almost exactly the same; But I hope your life will go in the opposite direction......"

Wu Ming was about to ask who the man was, but Jose changed the subject: "I noticed that you used 'he' when referring to that zombie, instead of 'it' as we are used to, does that mean that you think he is alive, which is completely different from zombies in the general sense?" ”

"Uh......" Wu Ming hesitated again.

Wu Ming had never intended to reveal the true identity of the alien demon, because he believed that it would cause unprecedented panic. In the depths of Wu Ming's mind, the ferocity and terror of the conqueror of Kiata had long been ingrained, and even spitting out that name would make him feel a chill from the inside out. Wu Ming was really worried that as he confided the truth, that chill would spread in the world, making the entire human race despair—Wu Ming had long had enough of living in the shadow of despair.

The old general seemed to have seen through everything again. He picked up the glass and shook it in front of him, as if carefully discerning the quality of the wine: "Actually, you can have a showdown with me, young man, after all, there are only two of us here, and I can guarantee that the truth you are telling me is not unusual, I have heard it before—he is an alien, is he?" ”

Wu Ming's face suddenly turned as white as paper: "How do you know?!" ”

"As I said, there was a paranoiac who told me more than twenty years ago." Jose smiled lightly, "But don't be nervous, I am the only one who hears these ridiculous-sounding big words, and it won't scare everyone else into peeing their pants." And an old fool like me might have forgotten everything after two drinks. He finally craned his neck and drank the wine from his glass.

"But now, I need you to meet someone else, your guarantor." José got up and walked to the door, "This little guy is another person who analyzed the path of the disaster from those pictures, and gave me your name. ”
