Chapter 288: Execution
Rumble!
A golden bolt of lightning fell from the sky, followed by strong winds and torrential rain. {.}
Lin Tian raised his head and stood in the ranks of refugees, bathed in the cold and biting rain with many shivering refugees, watching the roar of the fleet gradually disappear.
With the torrential rains pouring down, the war came to an end in the bewildered thinking of many commanders.
The commanders didn't know that the retreat of the alien insects was not this rainstorm that should have come long ago, but the chain reaction caused by their leader, the high-level alien brain worm, after being killed by Lin Tian.
Now on this planet, although there are still dozens of high-level insects controlling their own forces, because of the lack of a leader to coordinate all this, they are caught in their own battles, and the aggressive high-level insects are even not far from the human base, fighting for a mineral vein and there is a cruel infighting.
This gave the human side a respite, and also made the high-ranking members of the human fleet breathe a sigh of relief, without the invasion of the insects, they were finally able to control their army and have a good talk with the Cult of Kosmos.
The focus of the negotiations was tacitly placed on the refugees who followed the fleet into the industrial base.
Although Lin Tian lacked people, he didn't show much interest in these refugees, who were mainly federal citizens, and the lack of resources also made Lin Tian unable to support so many refugees temporarily.
The human fleet was different, and out of concern for their political future, the commanders and staff officers all pinched their noses and claimed the refugees and paid them large sums of money to the Kosmos that temporarily provided for them.
In terms of payment currency, Lin Tian did not refuse to come, the credit currency of the federation, and the common currency of the autonomous region, Lin Tian all recognized, of course, if there were refugees willing to pay with the gold and energy crystals in their hands, Lin Tian liked it even more.
Out of consideration that the spending power of the more than 100,000 officers and soldiers on the fleet side should not be underestimated, Lin Tian even took advantage of the rain to let the engineering robots build a large trade market in the open space, and let the followers of the order bring special products from the magic series and put them there for sale, and at the same time, he will also use food and other materials that are currently scarce to recover various valuable items of refugees and the army.
This move made the upper echelons of the human fleet scratch their heads, and they didn't dare to refuse because they still needed to cooperate with the Kosmos Cult, but cautiously made them choose a rotation system, ensuring that at least two-thirds of the crew's crew would be on the ship.
But even if only a third of the crew was allowed off the ship into the trade zone, counting the refugees, the trade market was still crowded with 20 football fields.
After Lin Tian was found by Second Lieutenant Yingluck, he was also assigned a new mission, which was to maintain order in the trade market and uncover the secrets of the Kosmos Cult as much as possible.
For the first target, Second Lieutenant Yingluck and her companions were full of confidence, but for the second, Second Lieutenant Yingluck and other soldiers who had experienced the cruel war were tacitly ignored.
The secrets of the Kosmos Cult, if they really know it, I'm afraid it's time for death to come, Second Lieutenant Yingluck is not afraid of dying on the battlefield with foreign races, but Second Lieutenant Yingluck doesn't want to die at the hands of her compatriots, she feels that such a battle death is not worth it!
Perhaps it is precisely this kind of thinking that has become popular and marketable in the military and civilian population, which has made the Union of Autonomous Regions, which is weaker than the Federation in all respects, able to maintain considerable autonomy for so many years.
The market was overcrowded, and many refugees gathered at some of the food stalls to buy food with what little possessions they had.
Some of the soldiers, although they did not worry about eating and drinking, were also attracted by the delicious food, and gathered among the food stalls with the refugees.
When Ensign Yingluck was on patrol, he also quietly bought a few cooking cakes made from wheat produced on the Terran farm, steaming cooking cakes, delicious and full, once launched, it was very popular, Second Lieutenant Yingluck immediately returned to the stall after eating, and bought more than ten more before stopping, and immediately, Lin Tian also had an extra piece of cooking cake in his hand.
In addition to eating and drinking, Moon Water and Moon Stones from the Night Elves became items that the military scrambled to buy.
The healing effect of the moon water is still quite effective for the Federation soldiers who taste it for the first time, and the soldiers will have some dark injuries after so many years of brutal training, but now the moon water makes them feel much more comfortable, so that they are willing to pay for these high-priced potions.
As for the Moon Stone, it wasn't used by the Federation soldiers, but that didn't stop the Moon Stone, which was as beautiful as the Moon and emitted a bewitching moonlight, conquered most women with its appearance.
In the same situation as the Moon Stone, there are also Developer Stones, these magic props are regarded as real gems in this science fiction world, thus making their value far exceed Lin Tian's expectations.
A bottle of Moon Water only costs 100 credits or 200 general coins, while a standard-sized moon stone costs 5,000 credits.
Even so, there are still officers who were born into wealthy families who shouted that they were cheap and spent huge sums of money to buy a large number of moon stones.
This made the money on Lin Tian's personal account skyrocket all of a sudden, and when there was more money, Lin Tian naturally knew that it would have to be spent to be valuable, but because Lin Tian was not in the real human power circle capital circle now, Lin Tian could only save it temporarily and keep it for future use.
"Alas, there is too much money to spend, which is also a pain. ”
Lin Tian shook his head and continued to patrol his newly built supermarket with Second Lieutenant Yingluck.
In the southeast area of the market, a group of people suddenly rioted.
Then, the crowd split into two sides and began to confront each other openly.
Under the noise and scolding, the contradictions began to intensify, and eventually, it led to the outbreak of a war between the two sides.
Fortunately, unless you are a security officer, you can't wear a weapon when you enter the market, otherwise I'm afraid that this newly opened trade area will usher in a bloody storm.
"No, there's a riot in the 11th southeast district, go stop them right away. ”
Second Lieutenant Yingluck quickly got the news and hurriedly rushed over with Lin Tian and the others.
When Lin Tian rushed over, his consciousness had already opened the map system and had an all-round understanding of everything that had just happened.
It turned out that the conflict was between the two gangs among the refugees, and they also fell in love with the silver-level armor sold by Lin Tian to a believer of the God of Order, this gorgeous armor was regarded as a work of art by the high-ranking members of the two gangs, and tried to buy it so that it could be given to the upper echelons of the fleet, so that they could return to the capital area as soon as possible.
These two gangs took a fancy to a piece of armor at the same time, but this was Lin Tian who took it out to try the market reaction, which was unique, so the bidding auction that Lin Tian imagined had not yet appeared, and the two gangs themselves had a quarrel first.
As these two groups began to make trouble, the order of the surrounding market area was also obviously affected to a certain extent.
As more and more people gathered, these gang members began to refer to their previous prestige in the autonomous region, in a vain attempt to fish in troubled waters with the crowd and make a small fortune in the market.
Anyway, even if they commit a crime, there are so many people here, is it possible that the Cult of the God of Order will come to a full punishment? The concept of not holding the people accountable for the law, no matter where it is, can be substituted.
"This group of guys, are you making it clear that you won't give me face?" Lin Tian looked at the order that was gradually getting out of control because of the two groups of people, and couldn't help but complain viciously, and before Second Lieutenant Yingluck gave the order, he crashed into it like a vicious wolf.
Compared with these ordinary people, Lin Tian was the gap between an adult man and a three-year-old child, and after a burst of punches and kicks, the people on both sides who had just come into contact with each other were all pulled back by Lin Tian.
"Where's the bastard?"
"Soldier, my uncle is also a major!"
"Damn, you dare to hit me! I'm a citizen of the Commonwealth!"
After these refugees were full, they actually recovered some of their temper, facing Lin Tian's fist, they were first afraid, and then after seeing Lin Tian's military uniform, they made a loud noise.
Second Lieutenant Yingluck sighed lightly, looked at these citizens who were not afraid of soldiers, and said, "Let's do it, Lin Tian, just remember to be measured, they are citizens after all." ”
"Huh?" Hearing Second Lieutenant Yingluck speak, the men who took the lead were a little flustered, they recognized Second Lieutenant Yingluck, a special soldier, and knew that their status in the military was impossible for them to be punished by their superiors for beating themselves and others.
Having lost the means to deal with the other party's accusations, these guys immediately shrugged.
It's just that Lin Tian had already made a decision in his heart that he couldn't let go of this gang of bastards, and he just wanted to establish a majesty so that the trade market could open in an orderly manner, so that the soldiers of the White Tiger Company who had received the order suddenly rushed over like wolves in bipedal mechas.
"Bang!"
The two bipedal mecha jumped up and fell directly to the ground, shocking the leading men next to them to sit on the ground, looking at the cockpit of the bipedal mecha in horror.
In the cockpit, the elite soldiers of the White Tiger Company drove the bipedal mecha, pinched up the leaders one by one, and then threw them to Lin Tian.
"Bang~! Those who break the rules must be punished!"
"You, that's right, it's you!" The bipedal mecha stretched out a giant finger and pointed at Lin Tian, and said, "Use the special torture equipment for the market to whip these guys fiercely and let them remember the lesson!"
"Special torture equipment?"
Lin Tian deliberately pretended to be surprised and asked questions, and soon a believer of the God of Order with a close heart took the special torture instrument for Lin Tian in the market-the nine-tailed cat whip.
The nine-tailed cat whip is the torture instrument used by the captains of the sailors who may defect at any time in the Age of Discovery, and there are nine forked tails in the tail of this leather whip, once it is struck, it can leave a number of bloody scars on the human body, and its tail fork is often soaked in seawater, that taste is enough to make the human species unforgettable, and from then on the fear instinct of the leather whip.
Lin Tian had long wanted to try the taste of wielding this kind of leather whip to beat people, and this time it happened to be used on these villain citizens.
When Lin Tian was about to be whipped, a large crowd gathered around him, so that Second Lieutenant Yingluck had to ask his superiors to send more support.
Lin Tian personally enforced the law, but in the eyes of the upper echelons, they felt that this was the Kosmos Sect giving themselves a military aspect, otherwise why didn't their Kosmos Sect carry it out themselves?
"Hmph, fortunately, it was our people who carried out the execution. "A colonel is also in the market at this time, he has just bought himself a bag of moon stones, which has exhausted his salary for almost two years, but he is not distressed, but he is looking forward to returning to the capital area, how many times the profit he can make after selling these moon stones by himself?
After encountering this riot, the colonel also had his own opinion: "That young man is a federal soldier after all, even if he has to make a heavy hand because of the people of the Kosmos cult, he will not be killed, but if the kosmos of the Kosmos come to do it themselves, hehe, I'm afraid those people will be directly beaten to death." ”
"Smack!"
Lin Tian stood on the stage, first pumped into the air, and there was an incomparably crisp sound, which stimulated the more than ten men who were executed to tremble, but they were suffering from the monitoring of the believers of the God of Order around them, but these unlucky guys did not dare to move.
Lin Tian took a breath and raised the nine-tailed cat whip high.
Syllable!
The nine-tailed cat whip, a special torture instrument, made everyone present remember its appearance and power with just one blow.
Some of the officers, even more brightly, began to consider whether they could equip themselves with one so that they could train the recruits who came to serve every year.
