Volume 1 Section 247 Murder
Kong Xiao came in a hurry, and only brought two entourage.
The relationship between the Kong family and Sun Zhan was very close. As the eldest son, Kong Xiao more or less knew some of the contents of his father's conspiracy with Sun Zhan. Of course, it was definitely not a traitorous rebel, but a plan to gather, occupy, and seize more military power with various political tricks.
His father died, and the leader of this faction became Sun Zhan. Kong Xiao knew very well that with his current strength, he was not Su Hao's opponent at all. He could only use Sun Zhan to continuously weaken the Eleventh Independent Army, and then achieve the goal of killing Su Hao.
For the sake of the deceased friends, Sun Zhan still cares about Kong Xiao to some extent. The Director of Construction and the Chief of Staff of the Force are only the first steps. Next, the military headquarters will soon send two deputy commanders, six new staff officers, and a complete set of integrated administrative teams. These people will be able to arrive in New Guiyang by next week at the latest. Whether Su Hao wants to or not, he must accept orders from the military department. He has no second choice other than being completely hollowed out, losing control step by step, and finally becoming an empty head captain who speaks without anyone to follow, he has no second choice.
Of course, he still retains the title of brigadier general and can go to other irrelevant departments to spend the rest of his life.
In peacetime, this is a good option.
Right now...... But it means being gradually ignored, or even losing all beginnings.
Su Hao obviously did not express disgust at Kong Xiao's sudden arrival. Still smiling, he said politely, "Chief of Staff Kong is really not at the right time. We are currently short of raw materials, the construction of the base is slow, and now everyone can only be placed in temporary prefabricated houses. If you wait another six months, you will be able to live in a comfortable underground apartment. β
Although this is sarcasm, it is not difficult to hear another meaningββββ this is not the place for you, get out of here as soon as possible."
A vicious look quickly flashed in Kong Xiao's eyes, he didn't expect the other party to speak so unsparingly, so he smiled faintly: "I will try my best to help General Su share your duties." If you can, please arrange a few people to familiarize me with the situation. I want to get into working condition as soon as possible. As you said earlier: as long as we speed up the construction process, we will soon be able to live in a comfortable underground apartment. β
Su Hao couldn't help but wonder: "Are you sure?" β
Kong Xiao controlled his desire to break Su Hao's neck, and replied without a smile: "Of course." β
"Okay, then, whatever you want."
Su Hao shrugged his shoulders, grabbed his body, and made a color at Huang He, who was standing next to him: "This is Major Huang He, the captain of the Third Combat Brigade, he has been in charge of engineering construction, and no one is more familiar with related affairs than him." Just let him walk around with you, I'm busy and have a lot to take care of. Oh, so be it."
The brief conversation ended, and Kong Xiao just sneered and shook his head at Su Hao's rude behavior at the end of the day, and left the room accompanied by Huang He.
Along the huge passage left by the excavator, Kong Xiao and his party walked into the desktop elevator, and under the guidance of the constantly flashing numbers, the elevator slowly sank.
To understand the progress of the project, you must first look at the excavation depth. This is the key to the construction of all base cities.
Standing next to Kong Xiao, Huang He looked excited, his bearded rough face was red and white like a little girl, and even his chest rose and fell violently.
Of course, it seems very strange for a man with five big and three thick to behave like this. Kong Xiao quickly noticed the strangeness in Huang He. Under careful observation, Kong Xiao found that Huang He was always secretly glancing at him, and he also kept glancing at Wang Jinlong who was standing next to him.
That was another escort that Su Hao arranged for him. Compared with the Yellow River, Wang Jinlong, who has a big waist and a round waist, has a fierce face, a pair of copper bell-like eyes staring at Kong Xiao, his eyes are full of ferocity, desire, vigilance and caution. He clenched his assault rifle in both hands and remained in a position of readiness to shoot.
Huang He was very careful in his movements, he kept dodging Wang Jinlong, trying to stand in the shadows that the light could not reach. He followed in Wang Jinlong's footsteps, neither daring to get too close to Kong Xiao nor walking too far, trying to maintain a distance of about one or two positions. From the corner of Kong Xiao's left eye, he could just see almost two-thirds of the area of the side face of the Yellow River.
Kong Xiao was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why the Yellow River was like this?
Clearly, he was reminding himself of what he wanted to tell himself.
To dare to come alone to the 11th Independent Army as Chief of Staff, courage and audacity are necessary. However, Kong Xiao is not a fool who is blinded by revenge and power, and rushes forward with his head down. Risking oneself requires sufficient reliance, strength and wit and courage to respond to the situation.
According to the rank and status of the military, as well as the authority of each person, the military department is divided into different levels of material supply from top to bottom. Zhao Zhikai, Minister of the Ministry of the Army, and Yuan Zhicheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Ministry of the Army, are examples of each other, both of whom belong to the first level of supply and can give priority to the distribution of important materials such as fourth-order medicines. Even in the event of a scarcity of food and supplies, they must be provided with adequate high-calorie food.
The vice chairman of the military department who was angry to death by Su Hao was Kong Xiao's father. Because of this relationship, coupled with Kong Xiao's rank of major general, he naturally squeezed into the second-level material supply group, and obtained the fourth-order strengthening potion that belonged to valuable materials during this time period.
Su Hao was just a brigadier general who had just been promoted. His material supply level was far behind Kong Xiao. Fang Chen and Liu Jiangyuan's authority and identity were obviously much higher than him, but their supply levels were all ranked after Kong Xiao, and the Academy of Sciences couldn't come up with more high-grade potions at once. Calculated in turn, Su Hao certainly couldn't be a fourth-order enhancement person, and at most he could only reach the third-order enhancement standard.
Fourth-order vs. third-order, it's basically a spike.
Kong Xiao didn't believe that Su Hao would have any extraordinary hole cards. If it weren't for the fact that he was controlling the Eleventh Independent Army from the source, he would have killed Su Hao directly with one punch when they met.
Because of this relationship, Kong Xiao seems to be fearless. No matter whether Su Hao accepts or rejects the order of the military department, or what small actions he plays below, in Kong Xiao's opinion, it is actually not worth mentioning.
Before leaving, Sun Zhan, Minister of Comprehensive Administration, had already made it very clear: "If Su Hao is honest and obedient, then let him go for a while, and when the follow-up administrative team arrives, he will be deprived of power step by step and set him up." If he resists resolutely, he will be sniped to death by force. Big deal, give him a title like rebel or accidental death. It's an extraordinary time, and it's not news. β
The first fault interface of the tunnel has been passed.
Loud noises everywhere, the operation of large machinery mixed with the vibrations of the TBMs from the depths of the ground floor, irritating people's eardrums, were more annoying than the peacetime square dancing aunts. If it weren't for the fact that engineering helmets are equipped with sound stabilizers, I'm afraid it wouldn't last long in this damn environment and drive people crazy.
Kong Xiao's eyes were more and more focused on the Yellow River. Under the flickering light, he found that Huang He's lips were opening and closing rapidly, very rhythmically, and the movements were repetitive and monotonous. Whenever he opened his lips, his gaze would always become wary, obviously on guard against Wang Jinlong and the other guards who were walking ahead.
Kong Xiao had never learned dumb language, but after repeating it too many times, he gradually understood the meaning that Huang He's lips opened and closed.
Judging by the shape of the lips, it is two simple wordsββββ "be careful".
Be careful of what?
Beware of Wang Jinlong? Or Su Hao?
Kong Xiao didn't think that these two people could pose a threat to him. Wang Jinlong was a lieutenant, and the strengthening aura emanating from his body was only of the second order, and there were only six guards who followed him, all of whom were of the first order. This kind of combat power cannot pose a threat to Kong Xiao, and he believes that the Yellow River should also know very well, why should he make that kind of action?
Even if it's unreasonable, there's a reason for it.
If it was in another place, such as the Beijing No. 1 base, Kong Xiao would definitely be disdainful of this kind of reminder to hide and hide, and even felt that the other party was making a big fuss.
However, this is New Guiyang, which is Su Hao's territory. Kong Xiao is just an outsider here. Before he managed his own power, he had to rely on and encompass more people. Under this premise, the small actions of the Yellow River have also become worthy of attention in Kong Xiao's view. Especially in the dark and noisy environment inside the tunnel, it is always easy to associate things with terrible terms such as conspiracy, murder, cruelty, etc. Subconsciously, Kong Xiao has regarded the Yellow River as his own person, although he can't absolutely trust it for the time being, he can trust some of it
The more this happened, the more the doubts in Kong Xiao's heart became more and more serious, the frequency of the deviation of his head became higher and higher, and even his movements became stiff.
At a fork in the tunnel, Kong Xiao forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and stopped.
He glanced at Wang Jinlong deeply, waved his hand to the two accompanying guards, pointed to the tunnel next to him and ordered: "You follow them over there." Pay attention to the speed of the TBM and the fixation of the tunnel walls. I looked over here to see how the tunnel was being laid, and half an hour later, we met here. β
Wang Jinlong was obviously very surprised by this order. He kept arguing: "General, then there is nothing to see, they are all preliminarily treated tunnels. Let's go this way, this is the main route of the TBM
The more this is the case, the greater the doubts in Kong Xiao's heart. He looked at Wang Jinlong lightly and said, "No need. I just want to go this way now, and the project site that has not been dealt with is the most interesting. β
"Then I'll go with you"
Wang Jinlong's reaction was very fast, since he couldn't stop it, the best way to do it was to follow.
"No need ββββ"
Kong Xiao waved his hand and stared at Wang Jinlong coldly. He became more and more sure that Huang He had some secrets he wanted to tell him, and he became more and more sure that Wang Jinlong was Su Hao's henchman sent to spy on him.
"Hehe, that's not going to work."
Wang Jinlong grinned and smiled grimly: "My duty is to accompany." The underground tunnels are complicated, and there are many forks in the road like a spider's web. No good guide can get lost. If something goes wrong with you, General, none of us can afford it. β
Kong Xiao looked at Wang Jinlong coldly, without any movement.
I don't know what the Dao is about, Wang Jinlong suddenly felt that an extremely heavy pressure that could not be explained in words, had no physical body, but could be clearly perceived, was constantly coming from Kong Xiao's body, enveloping himself in it.
It is like the endless sea, and it is like a mountain that looks up to it.
This is an extremely strong momentum, which comes from strengthening the human brain, and is the suppression of the energy produced by countless cells in an active state. The most direct manifestation is to make people feel that the sky is falling rapidly towards the ground, producing an invisible oppression, enough to suffocate β₯ people.
Wang Jinlong's eyes showed a look of fear. Kong Xiao was constantly releasing killing intent, and that terrifying feeling was enough to β₯ himself afraid. They quickly pass through their bodies and are spreading towards internal organs, blood vessels, nerve tissue, and other parts. In front of him, I was transparent, and as long as he was willing, a single thought could cause his body tissues to collapse in an instant, causing irreparable large-scale rupture damage.
"I don't need your company, understand?"
Kong Xiaoyin's fierce and cold voice came from his ears, and Wang Jinlong personally felt that there was infinite murder in it. He found that his hands and feet were paralyzed, as if he were bound by chains made of steel, and he wanted to struggle, but he could not break free.
The phenomenon of coercion is the performance of different levels of strengthened ability between people, which can be understood as a form of energy release. Under normal circumstances, only a third-order enhancer can release coercion, and the effective radius is about twenty to thirty meters. This ability is equally effective against mutated creatures in actual combat, and is one of the most effective means for senior officers to deter their subordinates.
Wang Jinlong was almost out of breath. His eyes widened and his face turned pale, and he held his hands against the wall, trying to keep his balance.
ββ¦β¦ Bright...... Understand ......"
He kept nodding his head, struggling to squeeze the words out of his throat.
"Now,ββββ"
With the accent of the most rear, the energy that bound Wang Jinlong's body disappeared instantly. He felt a sense of relief all over his body, as if he had broken away from the gravitational pull of the earth and entered a completely weightless space. The huge contrast between the front and back made Wang Jinlong unable to control his body, so he stumbled forward, his body was crooked, and he staggered forward a few steps before regaining his balance.
He didn't even have the courage to look up at Kong Xiao more, so he hurriedly ran out of the tunnel with the soldiers and quickly disappeared from sight.
Only Kong Xiao and Huang He were left.
"Hmph, I don't know if I'm alive or deadββββ"
Looking at the direction in which Wang Jinlong disappeared, Kong Xiao withdrew the energy released with a cold face, turned around, and looked at him carefully with inherent indifference and arrogance.
"Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"
Huang He stood calmly, but the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. It was as if the scene just now had stunned him alive.
Kong Xiao frowned slightly.
He was very satisfied with his deterrent effect on the Yellow River, and he also felt contempt for the Yellow River's performance at the moment. Isn't it? Looking at the performance along the Yellow River, it is obvious that he wants to speculate, but he does not have enough courage. Now I give him enough opportunities, but I can't speak like a person with dementia. Especially those legs, they are shaking all the time, and to put it bluntly, they are an out-and-out soft egg.
"Hey, what do you want to tell me?"
Just when Kong Xiao felt very dissatisfied and gradually became irritable, Huang He suddenly smiled strangely.
Under Kong Xiao's gaze, Huang He's figure instantly became blurred. He flashed behind Kong Xiao like a ghost. Kong Xiao only felt that there was an indescribable force penetrating his body, tearing himself apart with irresistible strength. Hands, legs, shoulders, abdomen...... In just a few seconds, Kong Xiao couldn't resist at all, Huang He's movements were too fast, far beyond the normal capture speed of his naked eye. When the vibration and impact of his body disappeared, Kong Xiao was extremely horrified to find that he was much shorter than the Yellow River.
The limbs of the hands and feet were torn off, and the joints below the shoulders and buttocks were left with only scattered skin and musculature. A large hole was opened in the abdomen, and various internal organs of the intestines were pulled out alive. The whole body completely lost its balance and was thrown to the ground like a toy. Looking at it from the angle where Kong Xiao was, he could only see the calf of the Yellow River.
"You...... You bastard...... What have you done to me? β
Despite his tattered body, he still has the ability to speak. It's just that the voice coming from the broken chest cavity looks weird, sounding dull and hoarse.
Huang He stood in front of Kong Xiao with his legs apart, looking down at the dying person who had just been dismantled by himself, and his stubble face slowly showed a cruel and cruel smile.
"Honorable General, of course, to kill you without anyone noticing."
He spoke softly, but with a terrifying meaning.
"You...... How dare you ......"
Without waiting for the frightened and angry Kong Xiao to finish speaking, Huang He was already smiling, grabbing Kong Xiao's neck from the ground, "Hey, hey, hey" said with a strange smile: "Why don't I dare?" Aren't you a great guy? Do you really think that the fourth-order strengthening power is invincible? Do you really think that everyone here will be submissive to you? You think too highly of yourself. Here you are nothing. Those actions on the way are just small tricks to distract the two of your men. "Cooperate" until we finish acting, they can't die for the time being. Of course, it won't be long to survive. β
These words hit Kong Xiao's brain like Hong Zhong. He was stunned, and the effects of blood loss and the physical damage caused by the loss of internal organs affected his state of mind. Although, at this time, it is redundant to investigate other issues. Because I'm going to die soon.
"You could have stayed at the Beijing No. 1 base and lived well. But you have to take the initiative yourself, and we have no better choice than to get rid of you. But then again, even if someone else comes, the end is the same death. β
Looking at Kong Xiao, who had lost most of his body and couldn't move, Huang He smiled cruelly and hideously.
He raised his fist high and smashed it Kong Xiao's head.
At the moment when the fist was about to fall, Kong Xiao, who was full of despair, suddenly thought of another problem, and hurriedly tried his best to scream.
