"Old William, are you surprised, surprised?" said Kane, pressing the button to open his visor, revealing his face.

The embarrassed and emaciated commander of the backwater base, William Sr., first looked shocked and suspected of dreaming like the officers and soldiers of the other backwater bases, and after seeing that it was Kane, he was ecstatic.

"Haha, this is the biggest accident of my life. Old William coughed as he spoke, so happy that he got carried away and caused his wounds, which he had suffered in the lungs of the previous battle.

Old William is not telling a lie this time.

War hyenas who give more money to whoever sells their lives, is synonymous with cold-blooded ruthlessness, at most add a dog meat friend, there is nothing wrong with eating and drinking at ordinary times, and counting on their love and righteousness at critical moments is too much.

Old William knew very well what his relationship was with this Kane Zhao. He can even understand Kane to a considerable extent, after all, he has a group of subordinates to feed, and many things are out of his own hands.

Of course, this is a beautiful misunderstanding, in this world, there is probably only Kane, who has not been more or less 'kidnapped' by his subordinates, but can sacrifice the interests of his subordinates casually for his own selfish desires, or pretending to be himself, after all, they are all tools.

In other words, Kane is also the most pitiful person in the world, the boss is not small, and he is still playing 'playing house' alone, but he has changed from a plastic man of a child to a puppet made of skin and flesh.

Kane snapped his fingers, and the members of Team A moved, mainly using the facilities they carried to help these officers and soldiers in the backwater base pick up, from flesh to body.

"We don't need to kill while the passage is still clear?" Old William asked worriedly when he saw the mercenaries' posture, which didn't look like they were leaving.

"Fighting me, it's rare that you have to sacrifice the wounded in exchange for the possibility of a quick exit from the battle. That's one of the reasons why my brothers are willing to work with me. ”

Well, for the sake of the face of the rescue in the deep cave, this cow recognized it better than old William. Inviting people to buy people's hearts, as long as it can be calculated, he is still willing to do it.

In fact, the situation is far better than old William imagined, tens of thousands of insects have died in the hands of Kane and his party, and they have really been killed to the point that they have no way to gain a foothold.

As soon as the brain worm saw this situation, he would give it away, and he endured it first, and turned around and said that he would evolve the genetic sequence of the flame-proof temperature, otherwise he would not fight with the humans who looked like these beasts.

It's a loss, there are fires everywhere, not only are they burned, but the high temperature also distorts the air, affecting vision, and mental perception is also affected.

However, the brain worm still discovered the characteristics of the graybeard mercenaries, and the minds of these creatures are like a raging flame.

What does that mean? It means that these people are crazy, and they are very pure madmen, as you can tell from the purity of the flames.

Pure heart?

If you really want to use this word, you will waste this description, and it is more accurate to say that it is mentally ill. So the Arkham Guild, the name is not wrong.

The liquidator is too large to drive in, but the Overlord locomotive can, like carrying a burden on both sides, it doesn't necessarily have to be a honeycomb missile box, but it can also be relief materials, such as medicine.

Injury reduction particles, analgesics, nano repair agents, plus cold lasers, there is no problem with on-site surgery.

The officers and soldiers of the backwater base sighed again: "The things used by mercenaries are good, I'm afraid that only those teams with special numbers in the federal army have such equipment, right?"

Kane was very good at being a man this time, neither commanding the officers and soldiers of the backwater base to do it, nor asking why the insects were so mobilized, and they would burrow into such a broken place and wait for help, and the most important thing was that they were not dead.

It may be a bit disrespectful to say this, but Kane feels that the insect will only be more disrespectful than him, and people have no concept of 'respect' for human beings at all, in this context, Old William and they rely on a hundred and ten guns to trap them, and the ammunition and materials are not very powerful, and there are no heavy weapons, and even the strongest defense bunker of human beings in the SC universe has not been built, and it can be defended, which is not scientific.

Kane didn't ask, but old William scratched his ears and cheeks, and finally held back a sentence: "This time I was involved in a bad thing by Custer, I am about to regret it to death, tell me about the gratitude, no matter how much money the Federation gives you to intervene, don't agree, it's too embarrassing." ”

Custer is the owner of the Backwater Mine, and soon after Kane Zhao first arrived in Marsala, he connected the trio with the speculation of Custer, William Sr., and Thiago, the director of Starport, and helped them digest a batch of gray ore.

That's how the relationship climbed, and for Kane, it was completely manageable, after all, the trio didn't have anything to do with him.

But now when he heard this, Kane remembered an incident, during the original history line Wings of Freedom, Renault had been dragged by Tex to help the Morbis Foundation steal the Sarnagar artifact parts in Marsala.

The specific looting location is not the Backwater Base, however, the Sarnagar artifact does not appear on a planet for no reason, it is often accompanied by the ruins of Sarnagar, and the ruins have a large amount of morphed hydrogen.

Kane naturally knew about the Sarnagar artifact.

Officially, its main role is to point out the location of the Void Gate, Unal, to the ascenders. Side effects, it can convert information, matter, and energy.

I have to say that not only in the SC universe, but also in the multiverse, this forced high is outrageous.

Mass and energy conversion, this most refers to the (Supreme Commander) system, but information, this is too sharp, after all, according to Kane's understanding, everything is meaningful because of information, and it is also divided into strong and weak levels because of information.

Some people think that the Sarnagar artifact is not a big toy than a detailed study of the origins, and Kane thinks it is very wrong. After all, from the perspective of information, whether it is an artifact or a god, it is an aggregate of information enrichment, which can transform information into matter or energy, and properly seal the container of the gods.

Such an item is actually a big toy, so please find a less toy and let us take a look.

It is precisely because of this cognition. In Kane's eyes, the so-called subordinate role of the Sarnagar artifact is the real awesome, and as for the beacon guidance, that's a fart.

And in the original history line, it was precisely because of the search for an artifact that the descending Emon was sent back to the void.

Of course, it's more later, a group of people killed into the void universe that is affected by the radiation of void energy at all times, and happened to meet Emon, and it happened that there was a platform around Aemon for the three clans to carry out combat power, and then Aemon was killed by the plot.

Think about it, if Emon plays kite tactics and doesn't fight, it will be enough to exhaust the protagonists of fate such as Renault and Artanis, what kind of sad scene it is.

Overall, when it comes to the Sarnagar artifact, that's the biggest thing, bigger than the Sarnagar itself.

So old William's so-called bad thing, if this is the case, Kane Zhao will intervene.

He half-jokingly said, "Didn't you find some strange ruins?"

Old William's eyes snapped: "Did you hear the wind? No way! Could it be Custer? that cunning loach ......?"

Kane waved his hand: "Don't blame Custer, it's not him, I haven't seen him in a few days." I'm just guessing, and you sit down on your own. Don't worry, if it's a relic, I'll only take one piece, don't want more. ”

Old William smiled bitterly: "I think I know which one you want to take." ”

Next, the reason why Old William and his men were surrounded by insects for several days without dying was revealed.

It turned out to be a strange commodity to live in. One of the parts of the Sarnagar artifact is in their hands, and these guys have a very bright mind at the critical moment, and they actually improvised a strange explosive device, intending to destroy the part if they can't do anything, and found this thing, which is the reason why the insect is jealous.

"This explosive device is interesting!" Kane touched his chin and asked, "Who? Who designed this thing?"

A middle-aged man with highly myopic glasses like the bottom of a thick wine bottle enters Kane's field of vision. "It's me. ”

"Don't you dare have a vision correction surgery?"

The middle-aged man had a stalk on his neck, and he played in a stinky style: "No money!"

Kane knew that this was mostly a fight with him, but he still pretended to be a tyrant and said: "Okay, from now on, you have money, I will give you an annual salary of 1 million crystal yuan, and make your body great, and you will serve Graybeard from now on." How?"

There was a sound of inhalation around, this is 1 million crystals, not 1 million federal credits, the difference between the two is almost 1:5, and now there is a trend towards 1:6. That's definitely a lot of pay.

The middle-aged man was quite a bit disciplined, so he didn't respond directly, but turned his head to look at Old William.

Then William Sr. said a word that made Kane understand the origin of the discipline. "I'm just this unlucky son, can you not let him go to the front?"

It turned out that this man was William Jr.'s son, William Jr., who was a bit of a fool and a genius, very imbecile in life, but high in some ways intellectual.

This is a sin that William Sr. made when he was 15 years old, and he has always been with him, but he will never let him show his head.

Kane undoubtedly failed in the pretend, and can only be remedied: "I have the right manpower at hand, I can definitely serve him in place, welcome 24-hour monitoring and inspection." ”

Old William smiled bitterly again: "You have said so, what else can I say?"

Yes, all the lives of the top and bottom were saved by others, which is not a big deal, not to mention that the current graybeard has developed into a behemoth, it is too exaggerated to say that the Federation is a tyrant, but it is definitely not a fire pit. The premise is that this Graybeard, that is, Kane Zhao, does not die.

William Sr. was still skeptical about how many years Kane could live. After all, Graybeard is a group of mercenaries, and he only asks if the money is enough, and then asks where the enemy is, not how difficult the battle is. The general will inevitably owe death, and he is talking about a person like Graybeard who is bloody and warlike and will die.

But after experiencing this play, he felt that if he wanted Kane to die, well, it was difficult!

So he entrusted his son to Kane half-pushing.

In this way, Kane has his own Aygun Stemant, very Arkham style, and is a family.

After a little more stay in the cave and getting things in order, the group left in a group and boarded the Death Porcupine.

At this time, the No. 3 ship, which was responsible for burning along the way, was also in place, and together with the ships in space orbit, they were very addicted to barbecue today.

But even so, at least a third of the backwater base is still unburned. In other words, it is likely that there are still a large number of insects entrenched there.

From William Sr., Kane learned that the area was a relatively secluded part of the area connected to the backwater mine, and was called the 'stomach pouch area', which was conceivably a terrain with narrow and winding entrances and exits at both ends, and a wide and empty part in the middle.

The stomach pouch area is mainly used to hoard gray ore, and this time the fragments of the Sarnagar artifact were also transferred to Old William's hands through there.

In the words of old William: "I feel like I've been put on the hook by Custer, and when he handed it to me, he didn't say a word that it had been targeted by bugs." ”

"It's hard to say, Custer doesn't necessarily know what it is. Kane said and looked at the sky, it was already sunset, and it was only half an hour before it got dark at most.

"Let's go to the mines, Custer is probably still alive too. ”

"But it's getting dark. ”

Kane pouted disapprerovitically: "The main part of the cave in the backwater base is not still pitch black? Don't worry, we are afraid of the dark, we can make a fire, connect a large bonfire, and set a fire on the side of the mining area, I believe the effect will be better!"
