Chapter 40: The Harvest
The judgment of the two killers was correct, and when they left, a team of Justice League superhumans also came to their general position.
Of the more than 200 people in the entire Allied armored army, only 20 of them remained, including 12 superpowers, 8 scientists, and the leader was Indiana Jones.
The archaeologist's handsome face was smoky, and there were even a few blisters, and the cowboy hat on his head was gone, but his eyes were still resolute, and there was a heavy sadness in the depths of his pupils. In his hand was a large silver thermos and a piece of black tattered object, what appeared to be a piece of iron torn from somewhere in the carriage.
"Dr. Jones, do you want to search again!" A transhuman walked up behind him and asked softly.
"No, we've searched three times, and there shouldn't be any more survivors. It's not safe here, we still have a responsibility on us, we have to send the remaining scientists and uranium-235 to the Allied stronghold! Dr. Jones glanced at the large thermos in his hand and shook his head.
"Jones, what is he going to do, I don't think it's a good idea to hand him over to the Allies." A fierce superpowered man stared fiercely at a human body under his armpit, "If he hadn't dragged Dean David, that damn Nazi Gerthard would never have had a chance to detonate the train cannon!" ”
It was a thin man, in a deep coma, and although his flesh and blood were blurred, he could still recognize Leo Robert's face. The giant did not die at the hands of Dean David, nor did he die in the Big Bang, and became a prisoner of the Justice League again.
"We cannot put Leo Robert to death without killing him, but taking him prisoner. Then we should respect Dean Dàwei's deathbed decision and hand him over to Green College for disposal! Jones shook his head and said in a deep voice.
"Cheap him!" The fierce superhuman was silent for a long time, and finally said hatefully.
"It's not his fault, he's just a sad patriot. His wife died at the hands of Gerthard again, and now she is probably dead set on Nazi Germany! Jones sighed, looked at the black, tattered piece of iron in his hand, and said, "When he wakes up, give him this piece of iron with 'Gerhard' written on it, and he should be able to recognize his wife's handwriting." ”
"Dr. Jones, they want to leave!" The other superpowered man gestured to the fairy tale girls who were walking towards Jones.
"Liv, you ......" Dr. Jones frowned slightly, looked at several girls with red and swollen eyes, and sighed secretly.
While the current situation suggests that the Gentlemen's League is unlikely to return, it is still not the time for the team to disband. He would love to see the fairytale girls stay until the Justice League protects the remaining scientists and Uranium-235 back to the nearest Allied stronghold.
It's just that Green College sacrificed two people one after another, and even David, the vice president of the college, died in a big explosion to protect everyone, and Jones really couldn't say anything.
This massive explosion is beyond the reach of human beings, even those with superpowers. There is no way that the fifteen-member Justice League will survive twelve, at least most of them will die in the explosion, and it is even more unlikely that the scientists will survive.
It was only at the last moment of the explosion that Dean David, who could have escaped, chose to stay and burst out his vector domain with all his might, and slightly weakened the power of the explosion in the direction of the Justice League's escape, so that they survived and kept the isolation bottle containing uranium-235.
In this big bang, Dean David was not the only one who showed his noble personality. Dr. Oppenheimer, the top director of the Manhattan Project, and several older scientists also chose to stay on the train.
Dr. Edward Taylor, who joked with Dr. Oppenheimer, was actually another important person in charge of the Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer is known as the "father of the atomic bomb", and Dr. Edward Taylor is known as the "father of the hydrogen bomb".
The research direction of the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb is actually different, the former is nuclear fission, and the latter is nuclear fusion. Coupled with Oppenheimer's communist tendencies, the two had deep contradictions at work. However, they are all scientists after all, and in the matter of life and death, these gaps finally disappear.
……
A week later, Munich, Germany, a country villa.
"Good news, guys, the Führer's commendation order has been issued!" Lieutenant Colonel Skorzny walked into the hall waving a telegram in his hand.
"Wow, Gerthhard, you've been promoted, it's time to call you Captain Gerthard!" The pale-faced Weidenbeyler smiled and handed the telegram to Qin Lun.
The vampire baron returned to Munich a few days before them, and with the help of the SS secret services at all costs, Weidenbeeller was finally out of danger and recovered from a vampire bat to human form.
"Didn't you also get the coveted Iron Cross?" Qin Lun raised his wine glass reservedly and gestured towards the baron with a smile.
"There's no comparison to your knight's Iron Cross!" Captain Bock, who was on the side, flattened his mouth and said with jealousy.
"Captain Gerthard!" Skorzny suddenly straightened up and pulled out a delicate little brocade box from his bosom.
"Here!" Qin Lun reluctantly pretended to be stern, raised his head and chest, put his hands on his thighs, and stood up straight.
"Captain Gerhard Heinrich, in recognition of your outstanding contribution to the Reich during Operation Hercules, you hereby present the Knight's Iron Cross. I hope that you will keep this honor and continue to fulfill your duties as a soldier of the Empire in the future. ”
Skorzny solemnly wore an Iron Cross with silver oak leaves and crossed swords on Qin Lun's chest. At the moment when the medal was put on, Qin Lun suddenly blinked, and a hint of surprise flashed in his bright light gray pupils.
At the same time, Grant, who was also awarded a first-class Iron Cross by Skorzny, also looked at him in surprise. The two exchanged a meaningful look at each other.
During the attack a week ago, the explosion of the Allied armored army column not only severely damaged the Justice League, but also wiped out the ordinary special forces of the Hydra force, and almost only a few escaped. Of course, Red Skull and Baron Stark, who are superpowers, are not among the victims, and all the members of the Gentlemen's Alliance have escaped.
Originally, Lin Feng, Lili, and Xiaolian were physically and mentally exhausted, and the temporary team returned to the Shattered Starry Sky.
However, the two killers, Qin Lun and Grant, let everyone stay. This is not only because they want to take advantage of their stay to recover their bodies with the help of the Third Reich's medical technology, but also because the two murderers are keenly aware of the rewards given by the Third Reich, and there may be unexpected changes.
It's just that Qin Lun and Grant didn't expect that this kind of change would actually appear on the Iron Cross, they originally thought that it would be some material reward that could be brought into the shattered starry sky.
Two of the gentlemen's league who won the heavy battle won the knight's iron cross, one was Lieutenant Colonel Skorzny, the head of operations, and the other was Qin Lun, who made "outstanding contributions".
Grant was also a contributor to the Super Soldier Program during Operation Casablanca. Baron Weidenbele, in order to cover the alliance of gentlemen, almost died at the hands of the cardinal of the Holy See. The two men, along with Captain "The Demoman" Bock, received the Iron Cross of the 1st class.
It is worth mentioning that Lin Feng received the second-class Iron Cross along with the Sandstorm Queen because of his contribution to intelligence. As for Xiaolian and Lily, because of Lin Feng's testimony, it was proved that they had hidden the information of the later armored military column in the research materials of the "Super Soldier Project", as well as the witty "inside and outside" at the last moment, and they were awarded the Iron Cross of the third class.
Qin Lun stretched out his hand and stroked the Knight's Iron Cross on his chest, and the detailed description of the medals in the death list came to his mind.
Knight's Iron Cross: A special treasure in this world, the Sub-Legend Medal of Honor (partially sealed), a third-tier intermediate item, has been bound to Apostle No. 70053, and can be unbound after paying a large amount of contribution points and apostle currency.
Level 2 Aura of Honor: Medal Passive Skill. After wearing the medal, the aura automatically takes effect, based on the Apostle's Law Body, increasing the body element by 10%, and enhancing the power of one of the Apostle's active skills.
Iron Will: After wearing the medal, the Apostle is partially exempt from the Psychic Control skill. This rule is based on the Apostle's Perception and the enemy's Mind Control skill level.
Level 3 Mana Source: (Sealed).
Unknown Passive Ability: (Sealed).
"Note: After obtaining this item, the Apostle will no longer be able to obtain additional rewards for exploring the world, erasing the World Origin Plunder reward."
"Item Hint: The Knight's Iron Cross can only be unlocked and promoted in this world, as well as in parallel planes in this world."
Seeing the introduction in the death list, Qin Lun exhaled lightly.
This medal has actually reached the level of sub-legend, although the last two skills have been sealed, and can only exert half of the power of sub-legend, but the two passive skills that have appeared are not only extremely powerful, but also applicable to almost all mission worlds, worthy of its sub-legendary level.
Even if the World Exploration Reward was erased by the Shattered Starry Sky, Qin Lun believed that even if he got one or two dark gold items in the extra reward, it would not necessarily be more practical than it.
In fact, Qin Lun's ability to obtain this partially sealed sub-legendary item was already an "extra care" for the Shattered Starry Sky.
If it weren't for Qin Lun's appearance in the first two Otherworldly missions, he would have obtained a large number of contribution points. The increase in the level of the apostle far exceeds the improvement of his own ability, and he almost entered the second-level apostle level with only two otherworldly missions, and it is difficult for the broken starry sky to arrange for him to possess the plot character of Gerthard.
You must know that the premise for Qin Lun to obtain the Knight's Iron Cross is not only that he made outstanding contributions in this operation, but also because Gerthard already had a first-class Iron Cross.
Although the Iron Cross of the First Class was not a special treasure, the Broken Starry Sky turned the Knight's Iron Cross into a special treasure, and it also paid the price of the law, which could only explain Qin Lun's harvest with "extra care".
