Chapter 268: Cruel Interrogation
No one dared to resist, and no one dared to run away. In the face of artillery fire that covered almost an entire star field, there was no point in escaping. Except for daring to turn off the engine and reduce it to its lowest speed to keep flying, the pirates didn't make any other moves.
Soon more than a dozen small flying machines flew out of the battleship formation and landed on the pirate ship, where a group of soldiers entered the pirate ship with loaded guns and controlled all the pirates on these ships.
Zhao Li has been converted to the flagship of the battleship formation, and the crews on the original patrol ship have also been taken over by the fleet. The next thing is no longer something he needs to worry about. Naturally, there will be psychologists and superiors who will re-issue a gag order to them and complete the follow-up work as soon as possible.
"Who wants me dead?" Zhao Li stood in front of a group of pirates, all of whom had been tightly controlled. More than a dozen pirate captains, plus hundreds of pirates, were all in the hall under the huge bridge, surrounded by warriors in charge of guarding, and their guns were tightly pointed at these pirates, and if anyone made any abnormal move, they would shoot immediately.
Behind Zhao Li, Koltsina was still standing with his surname, but this time there were ten more masters. They have changed into normal military uniforms, they just don't wear military ranks. In front of the many disciplined warriors, the warriors of the ten human races seemed to be a little unsure of what to do, so they could only learn from Kolchena and stood behind Zhao Li in two rows.
Prior to this, Zhao Li had already explained to them the so-called Divine Warriors, and the leaders of the Awakened and the others had already realized that those so-called Divine Warriors were just ordinary soldiers, and the weapons they held were just military-standard weapons. They have all accepted this, and not a single one of them made a fuss.
Hundreds of pirates, after Zhao Li asked, none of them spoke. At least, no one spoke until the leaders of those pirates spoke.
"Zhao Li, start interrogating the prisoners now?" The automatic hatch on the right side of the hall opened silently, and the captain of the fleet who led the team this time, Rear Admiral David, walked in from the hatch with a few escorts, and greeted Zhao Li from afar.
This Major General David is a descendant of General Lucas, and he has had several contacts with Zhao Li on the planet on the journey, and he is a person who is usually very easy to get along with, very easy-going with people, and careful and thorough, which is why General Lucas will send him over.
"General!" In any case, David is a major general, two levels higher than Zhao Li's colonel. After he came in to speak, Zhao Li stood up and saluted. Behind him, Kolchena, the same action. However, the ten warriors behind Colchena were indifferent. However, this is also reasonable, they are not federal soldiers in the first place, so naturally they don't have to salute the commander.
"It's such a big scene, it seems that someone doesn't want you to go back!" Rear Admiral David looked at the scene in the hall and smiled: "Their pirate ship actually uses the latest composite armor, and it is really difficult for them to make it old." There are not even a few such good ships in my fleet. β
"It's not just that you don't want me to go back." Zhao Li smiled, Rear Admiral David just came to pick him up, and there were many things that could not be revealed to him, so he could only roughly remind him: "General, it is best to leave a fleet in this star field, and if there are any spaceships passing here, they must be intercepted." β
Major General David's eyes lit up: "There is a huge secret here?" He can reach the level of major general, and he is not a stupid person, Zhao Li simply reminded him, and immediately realized that his opportunity to make meritorious service had come. Since there are secrets here, and on the star map, there are no routes or signs of human activity here, so as long as you come here, you must know something.
In fact, the military did not know about the existence here, so the one who could come must be the enemy hidden in the shadows. Since they are hidden in the dark and dare not see people, then they must not dare to be large. The depreciation of a full-fledged battle fleet is enough to cope.
This is the credit given to him by Zhao Libai, and this kind of good thing cannot be let go. Although Zhao Li's reminder is just a guess, even if no flying machine will appear, it is worth doing so to protect this secret.
Zhao Li had only applied for one battle fleet, but he didn't expect three to come, so that he would have enough strength to protect everything on that planet.
"That's right. How the hell did you drive that patrol ship, the people below said that the engine was close to being scrapped. Just as he was about to go out to make arrangements, Rear Admiral David suddenly turned his head and said, "That patrol ship has only been in service for three months, so it's too careless!" β
Zhao Li smiled and didn't say anything. Since the pirates were using the latest ships in camouflage, they were lucky to be able to escape. Compared with this discovery, not to mention the loss of the engine of a patrol ship, it is worth losing a battle formation.
"What are you going to do with these people?" When he went out, Major General David suddenly asked again. He was referring to the pirates, of course.
"They want me dead!" Zhao Li only said this, but didn't say anything more. However, Major General David already understood what he meant. Since someone wants him to die, Zhao Li will never let these people go.
"Whatever you want!" Major General David shrugged his shoulders and waved at the soldiers surrounding those pirates: "Go back to your respective posts, there is no need for people here." At his order, a group of soldiers put away their weapons and left the hall in formation.
It's not that Major General David doesn't care about Zhao Li's safety, it's just that these pirates have been subdued, all of them are handcuffed, and they have been checked, there are no masters in them, Zhao Li and those people around him can deal with it. Why evacuate people, it is still convenient for Zhao Li to act, and if he is taken away and chased and killed, he will be replaced by Dawei Shao, and he will also be angry and retaliate, and some things are inconvenient for the people below to see.
"Again, who wants me dead?" Zhao Limu sent Major General David away, watched the soldiers leave and closed all the hatches, Zhao Li's gaze returned to this group of pirates: "The one who said it can live." β
As soon as he finished saying this, the four pirate leaders closest to Zhao Li, who were all wearing handcuffs and shackles, and had always maintained an honest prisoner appearance, suddenly rushed towards Zhao Li. The handcuffs and shackles had been like papier-mΓ’chΓ© on their bodies, and they had long since been reduced to pieces.
The sudden change startled Rear Admiral David, who had already entered the captain's room but was still paying attention to the movement inside. Just as he was about to press a button, he suddenly saw on the monitor that there was a person behind Zhao Li who appeared in front of Zhao Li like a ghost.
The man who appeared was not Kolchena, but the thinnest of the ten warriors on the far right. The person appeared in front of Zhao Li, and there seemed to be no special movement, and the four pirates who flew out seemed to suddenly hit an invisible wall, and all their bodies stopped in the air.
It's not just that they stop in the air, but it's as if their speed is too fast, and their bodies are still moving forward after hitting the wall, but the strength of the body is not as high as the wall, so the head of the collision breaks the blood flow.
If you look at it from the side, it looks like four people suddenly hit the iron plate, and the huge speed makes their bodies unable to stop until they turn into a meat patty.
That's right, it's meatloaf. The four of them, hearing only a slight thud, turned into four enlarged humanoid patties. The most shocking thing is that when it collided like this, the blood on the four people did not splash away, and it was just spread flat on an invisible wall.
"There's a garbage mouth over there, don't dirty the ground." Zhao Li seemed to have expected this scene in front of him, but instead of being surprised, he calmly pointed to a garbage mouth not far away. That garbage vent leads directly to outer space, and if you throw something in it and press a button next to it, the garbage will be thrown directly into space.
"Wow!" Before Zhao Li's words fell, dozens of pirates had already seen this bloody scene, and they could no longer suppress the disgusting feeling in their chests, and vomited directly.
However, their vomit did not hit the ground, and several figures had already swished out from behind Zhao Li. A few figures were like ghosts, and people only saw a few shadows flying, and then they saw that those who vomited were sent directly to the garbage mouth with vomit, whether it was people or vomit, all of them were stuffed into it.
Their stuffing action is not so elegant, their mouths are too small to put down, and they directly and rudely fold people into two or three sections, and then stuff them violently. The whole set of movements looks unusually clear, but it is swift. It only took three or five seconds for all of this to be over, and then Koltsina appeared next to the garbage mouth and pressed the button that threw the garbage. Through the transparent porthole, a line of blood flew directly from the side of the battleship.
Not a single piece of vomit fell to the ground, and this bloody scene made even Rear Admiral David, who saw all this on the screen in the captain's room, couldn't help but feel nauseous. Not to mention the pirates who watched their companions become like that. A dozen or so pirates were immediately sick again, but they quickly covered their mouths for fear that a little vomit would fall to the ground.
"It's good, there's no dirt on the floor, and it's a lot easier for the crew to clean up." Zhao Li patted his chest lightly as if he was worried about blood and vomit staining the floor of the battleship hall. With his words, there were a few more people behind him, and those soldiers who had done all this had already returned behind Zhao Li. If anyone has noticed, they will definitely find that only five people have done everything just now, and the others have not moved.
Turning his gaze back to the pirates from the garbage mouth, Zhao Li still said to the pirates in that bland tone, as if chatting: "People who can't even stand this little scene will definitely not be reused, and it is unlikely that they will know anything important, don't you say?" β
No one dared to take Zhao Li's words, who knows what will happen to this seemingly ordinary young man next, if he says something wrong and makes him unhappy, isn't it self-deprecating?
"Default?" Zhao Li smiled and nodded: "It seems that everyone agrees with me." Although it was just a simple smile, in the eyes of the remaining pirates, this smile was like a satanic smile, bringing them more psychological pressure. Many pirates had already begun to tremble under his smiling gaze, and the shackles on their bodies made a sound of sound in an endless stream.
A few guys who killed people while talking and laughing, and killed so ferociously, but they were powerless to resist at all, were all Zhao Li's subordinates. Seeing this scene, there are no pirates who still have the mind of luck. The four pirate leaders who had just pounced out were the most powerful of them, and it was said that all of them were eighth-level masters, but in front of Zhao Li's unastonishing guards, they were as weak as newborn babies. Is this still the power that people can have? In the hearts of the pirates, there was nothing else on their minds but despair.
Major General David finally understood why Zhao Li said that there would be a big secret here. The reason for Zhao Li's disappearance, as General Lucas's confidant, he knows. It is said that an underground organization privately has the ability to manufacture ninth-level masters in batches, and when Zhao Li discovers it, it will lead to the extermination of the captivity. Originally, it was just a legend, if the ninth-level master could be mass-produced, what would he have to train hard for? But now seeing the performance of those few people, I have to believe that this thing is absolutely possible.
"I'm still the same, who wants me to die?" Zhao Li always looked at the pirates with a smile on his face: "Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. The one who speaks, can live! As for those who don't know anything, or know what they don't want to say, ......" Zhao Li dragged out his tone, and his eyes turned to the garbage mouth that was still stained with a little blood: "On this battleship, there is no need for useless garbage!" β
The actual action just now and the words of this naked threat have fully explained what Zhao Li wanted to express. Those who do not cooperate are useless garbage, and garbage can only be stuffed into the garbage mouth and thrown into space.
"I said, I said, I told everything I knew!"
"I know, I'm cooperative!"
β¦β¦
The moment Zhao Li's gaze returned to the pirates, the pirates almost jumped up on the spot and spoke wildly as if they had suddenly taken a large dose of stimulants. Even a few pirate leaders standing in front were no exception.
"General, borrow a few reliable people from you to record a confession!" Zhao Li looked in the direction of the bridge and shouted loudly.
"No problem!" Rear Admiral David's voice came from a speaker on the bridge, and in a few moments, the general's figure appeared in the hall, followed by a group of guys who looked like they were specially interrogated. Rushing in, two men coped with one, and pulled the pirates out.
"Knowing who is behind the scenes, what are you going to do?" General David now has some appreciation for Zhao Li, this kind of killing is decisive, and he really deserves to be a person who came down from the battlefield.
"Those who want me to die, I want them to die first!"
