“…… With the needs of the war, the development of civilian armed forces is also becoming more and more complete, and at present, the first major civilian paramilitary organization of the alliance is the 'heavenly punishment' unit of the Kronos company relying on the arms complex, which has been active in various battlefields in the past ten years and is the most important military force supplement of the alliance. Francis's policy, the Allied military began to curb the expansion of the 'Heavenly Punishment' forces, and the new civilian paramilitary group 'blacklist' of the Rohmens Group began to emerge in the special operation, it is worth noting that these two elite paramilitary organizations are different from mercenaries in the general sense, they only accept government employment or defend the interests of the company in dangerous areas, while mercenary units are ...... by other forces"

Boston's Logan International Airport, although still on the surface of strict alert, has inevitably fallen into a state of tightening on the outside and loosening on the inside.

Rumors have begun to spread, the attack on the Romons Group was a very strong TF, even the elite fighters of the best Icarus garrison of the Space Army were not able to catch him, the first version was that the ACA was about to launch an attack on Boston, but this rumor was obviously too alarmist, and later there were rumors that this was a deliberate attack on the Rohms Group by a competitor of the Rohms Group, but this version obviously has a lot of untenable, The most obvious point is that the public opinion machine did not go full throttle as in the past, allowing the lawyer group of these super companies to engage in a war of words.

So slowly, a plausible version emerged - this was a retaliatory action by one of the top TFs of the Rohms Group after being treated unfairly by the company, so it only attacked the Boston office of the Rohms Group, and did not attack any civilian facilities, considering the close relationship between the Rommones Group and the Space Force and the potential threat of this defection TF, it is understandable that the Space Force was dispatched to help arrest it. But it is obvious that the Alliance Space Force will not lose manpower for such a TF that is essentially no threat, so it is likely that some agreement was reached after a short contact between the two sides, after all, if the other party is ACATF, the Space Force will definitely not withdraw without any result, just look at New York.

This statement is accepted by most of the public because it conforms to all the subsequent forms, but in the eyes of the discerning people. The biggest selling point of this inference is that it is in fact in line with the heroic concept of ordinary people - a super warrior who takes revenge on the rich and powerful consortium that oppresses the people, and at the same time does nothing to the people, which is simply a realistic version of the punisher.

The final result is that neither the public nor the police are too concerned about the manhunt - in fact, the real thought in the hearts of the vast majority of people is that it has been two days, and if this person really has the ability to make trouble with the high-security Rommens Group and forcibly escape from the hands of the Space Army, he must have run away a long time ago.

Merely. The girl who walked out of the airport through the VIP security channel with a suitcase knew that the person, the person her sister had once admired and could be called a living legend, was in Boston.

And it is very likely to become your biggest obstacle.

Xia Xuefei, the captain of the "blacklist" of the secret armed espionage organization under the Rommens Group, codenamed "Kaoone", is also the twin sister of Xia Fengyan, who met Ling Yu in Tehran.

Xia Xuefei wore a pair of ink-colored goggles. He wore a plain white high-necked trench coat with an ice blue shirt and pleated skirt under the open buttons. Some of her student-like blue ties were embroidered with a white hexagonal snowflake pattern, similar to the hairpins on her long black hair with bangs.

A young girl in black stockings and white boots walked directly out of the VIP passage of the airport, and outside the airport, three young people of different ages, two men and one woman, were waiting for her.

"Normal?"

The airport parking lot at midnight was empty, cold and weird, and Xia Xuefei walked straight to the three subordinates. Raising his hand, he lifted his sunglasses to his head, revealing two eyes - or rather, one, the other closed.

"Normal."

The three nodded. Xia Xuefei didn't speak, but walked directly to a car parked next to her with a suitcase, and the remaining three people quickly followed, one of the short girls wiped a handful of her left eye, took off the contact lens used for camouflage, and revealed a mechanical eye - the latest product developed by the Rohms Group, of course, can not be compared with the empty at all, but it has a level that surpasses the active equipment of the alliance.

"We don't have any news about Ling Yu yet, and the observers have reported that Ling Yu's right-hand man, Arya. Sinair had already come into sight, with Helis, the last intelligence update was fifteen minutes ago, and there was no evidence that Ling Yu had arrived. ”

"Hmm."

Xia Xuefei nodded lightly, let out a muffled snort in her nose that she didn't know if she agreed, and then pulled the car door and sat in the assistant seat of the car.

"Other?"

Xia Xuefei propped her right elbow on the car door, and then held her head to speak, this posture looked completely majestic, combined with Xia Xuefei's pale face and unable to open her eyes as if she had stayed up all night and over-guided, just like a college student who had three days before the end of her final thesis and lacked sleep.

"The other one is normal, and I didn't find Ling Yu's other two teammates."

"Ling Yu is not a threat, do it."

Xia Xuefei nodded slightly, then closed her other eye at the same time as the car engine started, and she breathed evenly and extremely slowly, as if she was asleep.

It's just that the other three people in the car know what a heavy price they will pay for underestimating this girl who always can't sleep enough.

There are still 16 hours left before their operation.

"Looks like you're smarter than I thought."

Ethan stood in the dimly lit basement, his black pupils looking at the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a kind smile on his face, silent.

"That's half of the security code, and I'll send you the remaining half at six o'clock sharp," the black-eyed boy looked expressionless, even a little cautious, "until I'm sure your ACA server access code is correct." ”

"My visit wèn code is definitely correct, just. If I can get something, it's not for me to interfere. The middle-aged man played with the encrypted storage disk in his hand, then shook his hand and threw it on the table, "However, I think you also know the capabilities of the ACA's server firewall. Therefore, I suggest that you better leave the work of reading and searching for the number to the princess, so that she will not come empty-handed. ”

"You don't have to worry about these things." Ethan stepped forward, graciously picked up the storage disk, and then put it in his trouser pocket - although the man in front of him also had the possibility of manipulating the authorization code of the server access wèn, but he was not worried, on the one hand, because he could access the wèn normally without accessing any information to verify the authenticity of the permission, and more importantly, the two were in a relationship of mutual use, as long as Marven still needed to get close to Heris by himself. Even if he influenced and interfered with Ling Yu's direction, he would definitely not cheat on such a trivial matter.

Moreover, as long as Marven did something in advance, it would be easy to remove his specific information from the range where Helis might visit, not to mention, Ling Yu's first key target must be Char instead of Marven, and this would not directly threaten Marven.

Even, Marvin is likely to give Ethan a no right to access all Marven. Authorization code for Greg's related materials. It doesn't matter, though.

For Ethan, as long as this thing can earn trust. Whether he can track down Marvin or Charl is not something he needs to care about.

"Considering you're still a real newbie, I'm going to create a chance for you to get this thing that looks like just a coincidence." The middle-aged man played with the memory card containing the Herris drone security code in his hand, and then straightened up, "It's also a gift from our first cooperation." ”

Ethan wanted to retort. But in the end, he just chose to look at each other expressionlessly, watched the middle-aged man wave at him, and then walked out of the basement.

Ethan took a deep breath and stood in silence in the room for a few more minutes after the other had left. Then he turned around and walked out.

The sunny streets are already bustling with excited students, gathering in the gardens around the auditorium to take pictures with their phones or cameras.

Ethan shivered as he looked at these men and women who were much older than him, but excited like children.

After all, it is not a world, it is close at hand, and it is as far away as the end of the world.

"System Hibernation ......"

Ling Yu opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a line of red letters.

It took Ling Yu a minute to realize that this was the message left by the Hollow Left Eye - this was the order he had given, before he went to bed, in order to recover the injuries on his body, he closed the Hollow Mechanical Eye, which required a lot of energy, and at the same time strengthened his perception to the maximum, so as to ensure that he could enter a deep sleep and at the same time be able to perceive the danger that might come.

The young man straightened up, reached out and touched his waist, the wound had basically healed, and only a scar that would soon fall off would be left on its own.

Ling Yu took a deep breath, it seemed that he had recovered well, and he had made the right bet.

The young man turned his head to look at the room, it was a typical American-style small bedroom, everything was neatly arranged and meticulous, a set of Boston-area police uniforms hung behind the door, and there were several framed group photos by the bedside table, and in the middle one, a young man was smiling sunnyly, he was wearing the combat uniform of the 82nd Airborne Division, and behind him was the iconic white monument of Washington.

Ling Yu turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, his black combat boots stepped on the wooden floor, he stood up and walked to the bookshelf on the other side, there were some simple criminal investigation textbooks on the shelf, and some historical novels, but in the middle position, there was no book, but a glass box, inside the box, was an infantry combat helmet of the 82nd Division.

But this is no ordinary combat helmet, because on the black helmet, there is a blessing written in a battlefield marker, as well as a familiar signature.

I wish the brothers of the 82nd Division a victorious start - Ling Yu, May 8, 2178

Ling Yu stretched out his hand, and the moment the index finger of his right hand touched the glass box, he suddenly felt a sigh in his heart.

That's right, this is Ling Yu to Mahan. Burton, an ordinary police officer in Boston, and an ordinary soldier of the former 82nd Airborne Division, felt familiar to him - two years ago, on the eve of the Washington War, at the end of the meaningless communication between Ling Yu and Linya, they met a group of soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division in a bar.

At that time, Ling Yu was still a hero of the alliance, and these young and vigorous young men who admired the strong did not hesitate to surround them, hoping that Ling Yu could give them an autograph.

The people dancing on the tip of the knife would be more or less superstitious, and it was normal to have some strange worship objects, but Ling Yu noticed that there was a deep scratch on the side of this helmet, on the high-strength composite material.

Ling Yu could tell at a glance that it was a bullet that had hit and been slid away by the helmet. Theoretically, the ACA's assault rifle can definitely directly penetrate this tactical helmet of the Alliance, but the real function of the helmet is to resist shrapnel and ricochet, obviously in a complicated battlefield, this bullet seems to be because of a long flight, or hit something first, in front of the heavy helmet did not make much difference.

Bell Bell Bell -

A dull knock on the door pulled Ling Yu back from his emotion, and he turned his head to see Ma Han wearing an army green t-shirt. Burton. (To be continued......)
