Without a big break, Kane's team drove straight to the backwater mines.

In his words: "The maintenance personnel sleep first, and some of them are busy after a long night. ”

But in reality, the situation in the backwater mining area is not as rosy as Kane expected.

From a human point of view, the insects are often a bit funny, but at least they are not stupid. The battle situation in the backwater base has fully demonstrated that there is no targeted fire prevention plan, so don't mess with the humans decorated by the beasts.

Oh, and by the way, the Chainsaw Sword also impressed the brainworms of the Alien Clan, giving humans the ability to tear and cut at all as much as ordinary Aliens.

Kane also boasted proudly: "The advantage of human beings is the use of various tools. Lack of strength, on mechanical force, electricity, lack of fangs and claws, laminar arc plasma beams, chainsaw swords!"

The plasma beam naturally looks more dazzling, but it is a large energy consumer, and considering the comprehensive cost, among other reasons, Kane will not install a high-energy compression battery on the power armor.

In fact, it is the current silicon crystal graphene high-energy battery, which has caused a lot of heated discussions.

As the so-called popular right and wrong, Graybeard changed from a mercenary to an arms manufacturer and seller overnight, which is a greasy turn of God in the eyes of many people, if it weren't for the 'angel who broke the story' as the target to attract attention, those characters at the top of the power pyramid are afraid that they have launched various targets at this time.

Fortunately, Graybeard still has some time now, and Kane also knows that Graybeard is doing this to oppose the arms manufacturer and even the federal officials, so he seized the time to brush up on the people's side to brush up on a few more waves of presence.

The group of people, Kane himself naturally doesn't need it much, with his puppet civilization system, he can be completely self-contained, and he doesn't have to please anyone.

But Greybeard needs, as for the reason for needing, at the root, it is actually Kane's unwillingness to sit idly by and watch the wealth created by the humans in the Koplu Star Zone, or life and property, during the intersection of the three races, so three are not worth two waste.

Centuries of savings have been ruined by greedy and ruthless leaders, by incompetent and stupid officials, by self-righteous drillers, and by the stupid populace themselves.

As early as the HP world, Kane had already put forward the theory that 'since human beings are resources, then human lives can also be converted into wealth'.

It is precisely because of this theory that the dead can actually be regarded as losing money. Kane feels sorry for the money for the humans in the Koplu Star Zone, it is not easy to make money, and it is too fast to burn money, he feels that he is far more than those human leaders who steal high positions or something, at least he burns money, he can definitely hear the sound, can see the scene, there will be no only 5 Mao special effects and garbage narration.

Like this time, Graybeard can stage a good show to lift the hearts of the people in the backwater base, and the fire is cool and exciting, why can he do it?

One of the fundamental reasons is that some of the wealth flows into Graybeard's hands, and then Graybeard turns it into combat power and puts this live drama on the people.

Kane also did not forget to let Liberty advertise: "Graybeard products, conscience choice, the more you buy, the more powerful Graybeard can protect everyone's lives and property." ”

Kane felt that this approach was very desirable, unlike the Renault Rangers of the original historical line, which was obviously reported in the news, and people were more counting on the Rangers to save than on the army of the Emperor Mengsk, but the Rangers were still poor there, and they only knew how to make money by receiving task lists, and the other was to refuse to receive donations.

This kind of thinking will be pouted by people in the 21st century in the origin world, let alone this era. It's really too Lo.,You must know that popularity is money.,The early A station \ B station \ Youku anchors relied on making free videos,Promote the products of their own online stores,Things conscience points,Formed a good interaction with the audience,Isn't it good?

On the contrary, a penny is not a hero, Renault was not only ridiculed by his own technical chief engineer Swan, but also had to take some deals against his will. This is clearly used as a gun.

In Kane's words: "That is, the protagonist of fate, who can be crooked, otherwise he would have been made into a night pot or a backstabber." The kind that a deal can't be turned over for a lifetime. ”

This is really not nonsense, Renault was ruthlessly cheated by his boss when he was in the 321st Wing of the Federation (Heavenly Demon), and the path of life was reversed.

Kane naturally doesn't want to be like Renault, being kneaded wantonly, and relying on his life. He wants to take the initiative as much as possible, so he uses Graybeard's belongings to play tricks.

However, there are no tricks in the backwater mining area, only the worms go to the empty mess of the nest, the insects can even pack organic matter, and the bacterial blanket tumor can spread the bacterial blanket, which in turn can collect nutrients into an easy-to-carry aggregate.

The rest of the mess, whether it's a fungus blanket or a nest, has a kind of tomb-like dry character, no luster, no life, just a pile of cuticle (calluses). This kind of thing is even flame retardant, like sand.

The insects also basically drained the famous backwater pool, leaving a large mud pit with a black hole, and it is estimated that it may not be able to recover in half a year.

In the backwater mining area, time is spent mostly searching for refugees.

The pits of this era are very different from those known in the Origin World. An important reason is that the production capacity is so strong that the kind of gameplay of digging along the ore vein and making the underground of the mine like a maze for a long time has long been outdated.

The entire vein has been discovered in advance, and then the planning, and after the general plan for each stage has been planned, the excavation and construction will begin according to the entire plan.

It can be said that when all the mines have been dug up, an underground city will be built.

Therefore, it can be said that the interior of the mining area is distinct and the facilities are numerous, which is not difficult or complicated.

But the Sarnagar Temple is a different story.

I don't know which of the Lack of Virtue race built it, but the ruins buried in the ground are not only labyrinths, but also full of mechanisms.

The brain worm of the Alien Insect Clan deliberately left a force to play with the entrants in this area in order to be able to walk calmly.

Kane didn't want to fight such a battle, so he sent his men to fight wits and play micro-with those bugs. The so-called long night, just as the plan for a big rest and recuperation was also in vain, and the battle in the ruins was brightened the next day, and it came to an end, and it was basically cleared.

Custer and the others were not as fortunate as William Sr., and most of the people who were 'retained' by the Federation and still insisted on mining were turned into insect rations.

The periosteum, bone marrow, and ligaments, these insects did not let go, so the corpses they saw were all mutilated, a large pile there, stained with some bloodshot mucus, which looked amazing and terrifying.

Liberty said in a deep voice: "Compatriots, let's remember this scene, it is convenient for everyone to make the right choice." ”

There are about 20 people, relying on their own cleverness, to escape. Of course, this is also because the insect did not specifically target it, and Kane estimated that the brain worm just gave an order to 'clean it up', and then ignored it.

Of the more than 20 people, four committed suicide in despair, unable to endure the darkness, loneliness, and waiting.

There are also 6 who are half-crazy when they see the picture that is too cruel. The reason is very simple, if the whole madness is completely uncontrolled, either found and killed by the insects, or abandoned by the survivors, these people can survive, to some extent, they have really given up too much, where do they care about adding more crazy people? It is estimated that they will not be on the guilt list.

"Okay, the team in the backwater area has successfully finished work, first go back to Fort Sanctuary, fully rest and replenish, and continue to patrol the area tomorrow. Kane gave the order.

Liberty asked, "Aren't you going to blow it up here?"

"Blow it up at every turn, you're so cruel?" Kane said half-jokingly.

"......," Liberty retorted, "How dare I call cruelty in front of you?"

Kane laughed, with an expression that counts as if you knew each other, but it was obviously too exaggerated, and at first glance he understood that he was not serious, and after laughing, Kane said meaningfully: "Welcome to the federal army, bring the brick family to the archaeology, the carbon has been identified, it has existed for at least 12 million years, and it is very archaeological value!"

Liberty rolled his eyes and said boldly, "You're a clear cheater, aren't you!?"

"I'm also attracting investment, as far as Marsala's current army is concerned, it's obviously not enough to play. ”

Liberty sighed, acquiescing to Kane's crookedness.

After the report was broadcast, there was also a wave of "the federal army is incompetent, we need more beasts" beehive, and for a while, the entire mercenary community benefited from Graybeard, and Mira Han said half-jokingly in the trading newsletter: "Graybeard is now a well-known signboard." Well done, try to increase the number of seats in the House of Representatives so that the Dead Man's Harbor can also be added. ”

Kane replied: "Do you really dare to think that you really want to be like that, those who play the underworld must not be jealous and go crazy?"

You must know that whether it is Graybeard or Mira Han, if you really want to define their identity, space pirates are more accurate than mercenaries.

Generally speaking, the face of a bandit is even more ugly than that of the underworld.

Then Mira screamed disgustingly.

This pirate queen, although she is not as heavy as the male hormones of Ruhua, she is definitely an ugly girl, but her voice is sexy, pretending to be coquettish, combined with it, the painting style is simply invincible.

Kane spent one more day at Fort Sanctuary, on the 21st, before he went out on patrol again.

In his conversation with Liberty, he said, "I wish some of the people of northern Marsala would pay attention to your report, so that they can realize how large the number of insects is, and how intelligent and brave they are, whether they are coming to Fort Sanctuary or going to other places of refuge, and being soft and disciplined, it should be easier to accept than death? ”

And the facts tell Kane what it means to live for a long time, that is, there are people who still go their own way in this context, such as Anselm's brain-dead, which was the first stop of the last cruise, and there are Green Crosses supporting them.

Liberty is not used to this style: "These people probably really regard the Green Cross as an angel, and those Green Cross volunteers are also prodigal enough." ”

With Kane, Liberty also grew up and learned how to use the word 'wave'.

"It's said that it's not more than three, I didn't even ask again, so I warned again, I love to listen or not, I'm annoyed that people like this don't know how many pounds and taels they have, they are really surrounded by insects, and I won't send troops to save them. Their lives are their lives, and so are the lives of my men. ”

Liberty said in his heart: "Yo, this is rare, I actually know that life is precious, I thought Graybeard's life was all for play!"

He complained so secretly, naturally he wanted to say that Kane's excuse was not beautiful at all. It's obvious that Anselm's people don't know how to lift and don't know current affairs, which makes Uncle Kane unhappy, so you have to die.

Kane continued to cruise the Northern Territories aboard the Death Porcupine. After all, this place is not as large as those colonized stars with a large population, and there are less than 40 settlements in the entire north, such as Tasanis, any county, and natural villages and towns are definitely more than 100.

Of the 37 settlements, 26 have been emptied, either in the new Fort of Refuge or have already received refuge tickets to Manhof and run away.

There are 11 left, 2 came to defect yesterday, and 2 are also going to defect, and the large ships that have already passed through space orbit will go down to pick them up, and then leave Anselm and the backwater base behind, and there are 5 more.

Judging from the map, these five places just went around in a circle, and they were all finished.

The first stop, Catherine City, said to be a city, but in fact there were more than 1,000 residents, probably thinking that the city was built dangerously enough, like a half-cliff castle, so at the instigation of its charismatic leader, the people of Catherine City chose to play by themselves.

Kane and his party are obviously late, the humans here have suffered the same treatment as the backwater mining area, the insects first interfered with communications, and then attacked with all their might, and there were no fish that slipped through the net, Kane and they found an alternative Jingguan, or a pile of bones, in the square in the center of the city.

Kane glanced at it and was almost certain that everyone was here, and the price paid by the insects to capture this place was not large, and based on all the details and signs, it was inferred that the tragedy had occurred five days ago, before the patrol of Fort Sanctuary had begun.

The second stop, Tennant Creek, the same, died out, extrapolating the time, also 5 days ago.

At this time, it was basically certain that the insect had launched a large-scale clean-up campaign against the entire Northland 5 days ago, and the backwater mining area and base were also hit that day, and Anselm, who was more than 100 kilometers away from Fort Sanctuary, may not have done anything because he was under the nose of Fort Sanctuary.

At the third stop, Arnhem, Kane and his party unexpectedly met Jim Reynolds and Sarah Carrigan here.

Kane pouted, "What is this? The power of fate?"
