268 Dangerous People (Part I)
Emma stretched out her left hand, tapped it on the adjutant's forehead, and said contemptuously, "I know you're not convinced. But at this distance, he can smash your head lightly! ”
The adjutant turned pale, not at all believing that a person could hit a target at a distance of 1,500 meters without relying on sights. However, out of the corner of the adjutant's eye, he suddenly saw the soldier sniper with the high-ranking title he relied on as his trump card. The sniper was half-kneeling on the ground, his face was pale, and his sweat had already soaked through his military uniform, and only with the support of the sniper gun did he not completely sit on the ground.
It was only at this time that the adjutant was truly surprised. He knew how many battles the sniper had fought in, and how brilliant his record was. Such a veteran who crawled out of the pile of dead people, at the distance where a sniper can play a role, and used the best sniper ability series of snipers of the Protoss against an old-fashioned modified rifle that didn't even have a scope, and the confrontation only lasted less than a minute, how could he collapse like this? This seems completely inexplicable.
The adjutant's face was still iron-blue, and he didn't dare to challenge Emma's authority on the battlefield, which didn't mean that he was afraid of her. Within the army, his backer is even higher than Emma's. The people inside the Terran Protoss 03156 joint base did not come out to surrender, they obviously did not give in. Soon, in the stalemate, the stellar light faded away, and the bleak night arrived.
In the night, Zhang Yuan was like a ghost, moving quickly and slowly among the ruins. He didn't like to rush at night, but now he tried his best to get to his destination.
The Terran Protoss 03156 Joint Base was gradually moving away behind Zhang Yuan, and from the moment he found a lot of water at the base, Zhang Yuan knew that the fate of the Terran Protoss 03156 Joint Base had already been doomed, and it was not the Silver Ball Group Army that came, but also other big organizations. Except for himself, Zhang Yuan has no ability to save others, let alone confront an obviously powerful group army for the sake of the Terran Protoss 03156 Joint Base, a customer who has only made one transaction, he is not a fool.
It was Zhang Yuan's choice to sneak back to the Terran Protoss 03156 joint base, but it was not his style to fish in mixed waters, especially in mixed waters composed of a group army and a base, but Zhang Yuan's intuition made Zhang Yuan take action, and he left immediately.
The woman who called herself Emma was an important reason for Zhang Yuan to want to leave as much as possible. Emma and the woman who were standing in the command car were almost completely two people, and even if they had zero contact, Zhang Yuan failed to discover any special abilities in her at that time.
However, it is simply impossible for an incompetent person, especially a woman, to lead an army group directly under it, especially an army equipped with heavy armament. This can only mean that Emma either has the ability of a warrior or above with a high-level title, or has a special ability other than the known ability. Whatever the reason, it is not good news for Zhang Yuan.
After a day and a night of high-intensity trekking, a vibrant open-air base appeared in Zhang Yuan's field of vision. The open-air base was completely different from the filthy and cluttered settlement, with a barbed wire fence around the open base, a barricade with sandbags at the exit, guarded by several soldiers with guns, and at each of the four corners of the base, a concrete guard tower seven or eight meters high, with the dark mouth of the tower silently watching the empty wasteland.
In the center of the open-air base, there is a very conspicuous ten-story building, the dark blue glass curtain wall is spotlessly clean, and a huge billboard is erected on the roof, on which the mark of the jumping golden five-pointed star is extremely eye-catching. This is the Venla base, where the headquarters of the Venus Army is located.
Zhang Yuan no longer hid and walked to the Venla base. The soldiers guarding were obviously impressed by Zhang Yuan, and just routinely checked his license and let him enter the Venla base.
The Venla base is not very large, and about half of the area, including the headquarters building, belongs to the exclusive area of the army group, and only members of the group army are allowed to enter and exit. The rest of the area is dotted with hotels, bars, warehouses, parking lots, etc., for customers who come to trade with the group. And the members of the army group themselves will also come to the entertainment area here to relax and relax in their leisure time.
Behind the headquarters building are a cluster of factories that produce everything from grain, canned food, cement, steel to weapons and equipment. At the other end is a small power plant that provides power. Of course, the scale of production here cannot be compared with the homeland of the Terrans, and there is no economy of scale. But in this closed and backward planet, it has to be so. If you want to survive in the Zerg lair, most of the necessary materials can only be produced by yourself. Although trade is ubiquitous, no army group will trade strategic goods to its opponents.
Like all other armies known as Army Groups, the Golden Star Army has a large number of armed forces of its own, and they have a contingent of thousands of men, all equipped with high-energy rifles produced by the Golden Star Army itself. And at the Venla base, in addition to the three heavy guns, there is also a heavy siege tank town.
Under such force, no small force of the Terran and Protoss would dare to provoke the Venra base, not even to stay within fifty kilometers of it. Otherwise, I don't know when I will encounter the patrol squad of the group army, whether it will be expelled, or directly killed, I can only resign myself to fate. And the top brass of the Venus Army also knew very well that safety was the guarantee of profits, so they spared no effort when fighting the surrounding Zerg.
The force of the Venus Army is much stronger than that of the Terran Protoss 03156 joint base, but it is not enough to take the Terran Protoss 03156 joint base at a small cost. This is also the reason why the group army did not attack the Terran Protoss 03156 joint base. On the other hand, there is a certain amount of water under the Venla base, and although no one knows when this groundwater will dry up, at least for the time being, there is no need to lose a large number of well-trained fighters for water.
At the Venla base, you can resupply, buy weapons, work for the Venus Army, and find women. Of course, the premise of the last item is to have money.
In the past three months, Zhang Yuan has completed three major missions for the Venus Army, and handed in specimens of four new mutant species to obtain a license as a insect hunter and mercenary. Whether it is encircling and suppressing the Zerg or cleaning up a specific area, Zhang Yuan completes his part neatly and meticulously. This allowed him to obtain his license earlier than anyone else, and became friends with the captain of the Venus Army, who was in charge of outside hiring.
Although friends were already a very rare term in this era, the gray-haired Wright always considered himself a friend of Zhang Yuan, and insisted that Zhang Yuan accompany him for a drink every time he returned to the Venla base.
After Zhang Yuan returned to the Wenla base this time, he was no exception. As soon as night fell, he was dragged into the bar by Wright. The bar was dimly lit, filled with the smell of alcohol and restlessness, and women dressed in just a few strips of cloth were shuttling around, trying to find the man who would pay for their services tonight.
Wright loved the decadence and obscenity that permeated the place, and ordered a large bottle of liquor every time he visited. Of course, it is not a high-end product left behind in his hometown, but only a wine produced by the Venla base itself. This wine does not have a fruity grain aroma, but at least it is strong enough.
Zhang Yuan didn't like this place, and every time he saw Lyre's kind of wine, he couldn't help but equate it with 20 rounds of custom-made ammunition, or some kind of weapon. In the wilderness, these munitions can often save Zhang Yuan's life, but spirits do not.
As soon as a glass of wine was in his stomach, Wright would open up the conversation and talk endlessly, half of which was about the heroic deeds of his young youth and the various heroic deeds of fighting the Protoss and Zerg with the combat troops, and the other half of the trivial events that had happened in the Venla base during this time.
These were not what Zhang Yuan was interested in at all, so he kept quiet most of the time and just listened quietly. He knew that Wright just needed an audience.
At the Venla base, Wright is no small man. This old man, who is in charge of the foreign mercenary business of the Venus Army, is the one who can decide the fate of many mercenaries and insect hunters. The first time Zhang Yuan drank with him, it was because he felt that he owed him a favor. When calculating the remuneration for the first assignment, Wright gave Zhang Yuan the commission he was entitled to in full without deducting it for any reason. In Zhang Yuan's experience, the absence of restraint itself is a personal feeling.
