Chapter 066: Lin Bin's Intuition
"What do you all eat? weishenme what happened in the early hours of yesterday morning, and only now come to report to me? Yes! ”
In the headquarters base of the Fifth Theater, there was a thunderous roar of Lin Bin in the office of the chief of general staff, followed by the rattling sound of a piece of paper smashing on someone's head.
"General, general, I, we have just received a report from the reinforcements sent!" Lin Bin's colonel's adjutant blushed, and he explained to Lin Bin, who was grim-faced: "After receiving an urgent call for help from the prisoner of war camp guard Marine Company in the early hours of yesterday morning, we immediately sent a reinforced battalion to take a cluster of transport planes dispatched from the air assault division to urgently reinforce the prisoner of war camp. However, the reinforcements who rushed to the prisoner of war camp were also attacked by a group of monsters of unknown origin, and the casualties were quite heavy. The fierce battle lasted until the early hours of this morning, and they were able to repel the monster horde and recapture the prisoner of war camp. General, there is also a video here, please take a look at it, maybe you can understand what happened! ”
As he spoke, the colonel hurriedly took out a miniature terminal and pulled up a video of the tragic battle between the marines and the jumping insects and cockroaches. Looking at that video, Lin Bin's originally blue face became more and more gloomy.
"General, judging from the picture, these monsters are almost exactly the same as the monsters that raided the forward outposts in the Hack Star Zone, are they ......" The colonel's adjutant cautiously reminded Lin Bin.
"Colonel, who else has seen your debriefing and this kind of video?" Lin Bin suddenly raised his hand to interrupt the colonel's words, pointed to the paper documents scattered on the ground and the terminal computer on the desktop, and asked in a deep voice.
"There is no one else but the commander who sent reinforcements and me, General!" Hearing Lin Bin's inexplicable question, the colonel's adjutant suddenly felt a heartbeat, and a faint hint of premonition flashed.
"How many troops are left of the reinforced battalion that was sent? Where are you gathering now? Lin Bin frowned, and then asked in a deep voice.
"That reinforced battalion, with their commander, now has less than a hundred Marines left. Right now, they are all concentrating on the valley where the prisoner of war camp is located, dealing with the aftermath and waiting for follow-up instructions from headquarters! ”
"Pass my orders!" Lin Bin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, his face turned pale, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand coldly and resolutely ordered: "Because our guard troops are unable to effectively prevent the prisoners of war from escaping from prison, in order to prevent the rebel prisoners of war from attacking and harassing other towns in our theater and causing greater damage and impact, this general urgently orders in the name of the theater general staff to launch a nuclear energy main gun covering fire at the space battleship unit parked in the outer space star orbit to immediately launch a nuclear energy main gun covering fire at the valley area where the prisoner of war camp is located!" The firing range, centered on the prisoner of war camp, is twenty kilometers in radius! ”
"General!" Although he had some premonitions in his heart, the colonel's adjutant was still shocked by Lin Bin's cold-blooded order, and he gasped and was stunned.
"Colonel, don't you hear me? Do you want General Ben to repeat the order again? Lin Bin's tone suddenly became extremely cold.
"Listen, hear clearly!" Swept away by Lin Bin's cold gaze, the colonel actually shivered subconsciously and stammered.
"Remember, there has never been a herd of man-eating monsters in the Seymour prisoner of war camp, but the prisoners of war took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards and escaped en masse, understand, Colonel?" Lin Bin's triangular eyes, narrowed into a thin slit, flashed an even more gloomy cold light, and he continued to explain to the colonel's adjutant almost word for word: "Also, you have never received any reports and battle videos!" For the rest, I believe there is no need for General Ben to say more! ”
"Yes, yes, my subordinates understand! Got it! The Colonel hurriedly resisted the chill in his heart, and nodded his head like a drum.
"Go ahead! Hurry up and notify the space battleship unit to carry out a covering main artillery attack on the mountainous area where the prisoner of war camp is located! Let's hope it's still too late! Seeing this, Lin Bin's tone eased, and he waved his hand to signal the colonel, who was covered in cold sweat, to withdraw and convey his order.
After the adjutant left, Lin Bin frowned with his hands behind his back, walked around the room a few times, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't paid attention to whether the report had mentioned Haoyi's life and death just now, so he hurriedly leaned over and picked up the scattered reports again, and then took a closer look.
The report was sent back after the reinforced battalions had been sent to retake the prisoner of war camps. It tells the story of how this reinforcement encountered a horde of fierce and ugly monsters in the mountains on the outskirts of the prisoner of war camp. After being surrounded by the swarm, the battle was so fierce. According to the report, at the height of the fighting situation, nine out of ten officers at the company and platoon level of the reinforced battalion were killed, and even the commander of the reinforced battalion was seriously wounded.
Although the weapons of the swarm were only rows of sharp claws and some unknown strong acid slime, because they were so numerous, even the reinforced battalions carrying heavy firepower such as individual anti-armor missiles could not effectively withstand the ferocious assault of the swarm.
After the battle, it was seen that the entire rescue force was about to be wiped out, but at that moment, the insect swarm that completely occupied the initiative on the battlefield retreated inexplicably and disappeared into the boundless night. The reinforced battalion, which had suffered heavy casualties and was in disarray, was given a respite and hurriedly withdrew into the valley where the prisoner of war camp was located, building defensive positions. After a night's rest to make sure that the swarm would not attack again, at dawn, the relieved reinforcement battalion marines cheered up and cleaned up this battlefield like Shura hell under the commander's order.
The entire valley where the prisoner of war camp was located was full of stumps and broken arms and fragments of flesh and blood, layers of mutilated human and insect corpses, piled up in every corner, and the air was filled with a strong fishy smell, which actually smoked those battle-hardened marines who couldn't help but retched one by one.
Because most of the corpses were mutilated beyond recognition, the Marines in the reinforced battalion could not even tell which of the corpses belonged to prisoners of war and which belonged to the prison guards and guard companies, let alone the shadow of Hao Yi in the pile of flesh and blood.
Therefore, there are only four words about Haoyi's whereabouts in the report - his life and death are unknown.
"Bang!" Seeing these four words, Lin Bin's heart was inexplicably filled with anger, his iron fist slammed on the table, and he gritted his teeth and scolded with hatred: "You die Haoyi, can you die so easily?" I haven't tortured enough of you bastard! ”
"That's not right! You bastard won't hang up so easily! After the hatred and scolding, Lin Bin's heart suddenly flashed, and his intuition told him that Haoyi must still be alive.
Thinking of this, Lin Bin hurriedly clicked on the real-time video of the battle again, wanting to find some clues from the tragic battle between the marines and the insect swarm. However, after looking back and forth twice, in addition to being afraid of the terrifying attack power of those perverted bugs, Lin Bin couldn't figure it out at all.
Suddenly, Lin Bin remembered the video footage sent back from the forward outpost in the Hakexing District and the corpse of the jumping insect found in Haoyi's hometown of Laidian Town, and his heart involuntarily became heavier.
Frowning and muttering for a moment, Lin Bin picked up the terminal microcomputer and hurried out of the office, walked straight to the information contact center of the base, whispered a word of advice to the staff officer who was busy, and then went into the contact room.
"What's the matter?" In the secret room, a huge hologram full of one person tall, Auston's slightly tired old face flashed. Probably because the battle ahead was not going well, or some other reason, Auston's tone was faintly impatient.
"Father-in-law, something happened to the Seymour prisoner of war camp!" In front of Auston, Lin Bin always looked extremely respectful, his head lowered slightly, and he reported with a little apology.
"Seymour POW camp? Is it the prisoner of war camp where Haoyi is held? Hearing this, Auston suddenly opened his eyes and asked in surprise.
"Yes, father-in-law! The Seymour prisoner of war camp was suddenly attacked by a group of monsters of unknown origin, and Haoyi's whereabouts are still unknown......" Hearing the unhappiness in Auston's tone, Lin Bin hurriedly and briefly said what had happened.
"So, the monsters that raided the POW camp and the monsters that appeared at the forward outposts in the Hack Star Sector are from the same species?" After listening to Lin Bin's general report, Auston's face also became gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Father-in-law, there is also a real-time battle video recorded by the reinforcements sent by Duan, please take a look!" Lin Bin hurriedly connected the terminal microcomputer data port in his hand to the port of the communicator and transmitted the video.
"Son-in-law, how did you deal with this matter?" After a while, Auston's face was so blue that he could almost hang a layer of patina, and the old eyes, which were originally a little cloudy, actually flashed again and again, and a trace of coldness was inadvertently revealed.
"Except for my personal colonel adjutant, no one knows about the monster incident in the prisoner of war camp!" Hearing Auston's inquiry, Lin Bin raised his head and reported with something in his words.
"Good!" The old and spicy Auston naturally knew Lin Bin's voice, seeing that this golden beetle son-in-law's approach was very in line with his own wishes, Auston nodded his head and praised it loudly, and then, Auston's face changed again, and he said to Lin Bin in a deep voice: "Virtuous son-in-law, the battle situation ahead has not gone well recently, and several other war zones have suddenly torn their faces and stirred in, and the army of my fifth war zone can only suspend the attack on the Federation home planet for now, and take a break to wait for the future." The most urgent task at the moment is to ensure the stability and security of our backyard in the war zone. I have almost handed over the power to you, and I hope that you will spare no effort to stabilize the overall situation. All things, including those unknown and hateful monsters, will be decided after the return of my Fifth War Zone Army. Do you understand? ”
"Please rest assured, father-in-law, my son-in-law will definitely do my best for my war zone and die!" Lin Bin hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"There's no need to die! If you die, won't my precious girl be a widow? Auston said with a teasing smile, and then continued to advise: "Also, regardless of whether Hao Yi is dead or not, don't touch the thoughts of Bob's niece and Hao Yi's parents for the time being." Again, I'll talk about it when I come back! ”
"Yes, father-in-law!" Lin Bin hurriedly replied loudly.
