Facts have proved that scientific and technological content and combat effectiveness are two dimensional concepts:

On the way to the crash site with Group A, Zheng Hao quickly made contact with the soldiers of the group of enterprises and immediately broke out into a fierce firefight.

And at this moment, Zheng Hao felt a trace of obvious difficulty. Those people are strong!

And it's the kind that's visible to the naked eye!

The smooth progress of Group B caused him to misjudge the situation, and even misjudge it undeservedly———— they were able to rely on their equipment advantage to easily deal with these people, and then unknowingly intercept the anomalous mother.

However, Group B's advantage was due to the numerical superiority, with three out of eight and a sniper to support outside the battlefield. On his side, the situation was completely different.

The opposing soldiers spread out in groups of three, holding up the line with alternating fire, and then he found a squad circling his flank.

These people's use of tactics was almost fluid to the point of fluidity, without even the slightest pause or hesitation.

With tacit understanding, it makes people's scalp numb

The evenly matched battle quickly took a turn for the worse with the death of one of his teammates, and the sound of gunfire from all sides made him feel like he was not fighting against a ten-man straggler, but with a well-trained army. These people are definitely not employees of the enterprise! They're more like professional soldiers!

Just as they are professional in exploring ruins on their own side, they are also professional in fighting wars!" Captain! The firepower of these people is too fierce! I'm afraid we won't last much long—"

A member of the team, who had been shot in the leg, shouted in horror and fired his rifle at the distant dirt slope in an attempt to suppress the advancing soldiers.

However, the sound of his fire did not last even three seconds, and a high-explosive grenade fired by an RPG dragged a slender tail flame and smashed into the dirt slope in front of him.

The blast of air and fragments slammed into his chest, sending him flying from behind the dirt slope and falling unconscious to the ground like a rag. "Ryoheikusa"

Seeing another teammate die, Zheng Hao's eyes turned red for a moment, and his fist slammed into the soil, but there was nothing he could do.

The voice of the deputy leader of Group B was heard in the communication channel.

"Captain, the mother has mutated! More than a dozen tentacles split out of its body and entangled the team leader! Zhao Xiao was also controlled by them...... We need support!"

Seven to three, one has been solved, and it was even counter-killed

Although he still had a Group C on standby on tracks, he knew that even using the last reserve team would not help.

Perhaps, after discovering that the "swarm" could not be struck a blow, he should decisively order a retreat...... These people are clearly not something they can deal with!

Zheng Hao gritted his teeth, and finally squeezed out the sentence from between his teeth. "Retreat

After paying the price of four casualties, the Academy team that raided the crash site seemed to finally realize that they had kicked the iron plate. "They retreated."

The sound of a strong wind can be heard in the communication channel.

Through the perspective of the drone, he is in the sky OB, and he can control the other party's movements at a glance.

Aiming at the gray-white smoke in front of him, the murderous dagger leaning next to the bunker looked at Lao Bai on the side, eager to try.

"Boss, do you want to catch up" He wanted to catch up.

This group of guys is even weaker than expected, and it would be a shame not to blow up their gold coins. Lao Bai thought for a while. "No need, the task is important." The enemy vehicle was five kilometers away.

Judging by the wind, it didn't look like a tank or a rocket car, but more like a large SUV that traversed swampy terrain.

The identity of these people in the academy speaks for itself.

Judging from the equipment on their bodies, it is not like it is used against people, but more for different equipment, so it can be inferred that this team is most likely a "scientific research team".

It's not hard to get rid of this group, but it's too close to the swamp to make the other party anxious.

It is enough to teach them a lesson.

As a corps commander, he has more to think about.

At the moment, it is still the task of the managers to avoid extraneous complications as much as possible. The good name is given to the dog, "What if those people come back" Lao Bai raised his chin and pointed to the two people who were dying on the ground not far away.

"Aren't there captives here, bandage them...... By the way, you go offline and go to the official website to update the status of the task. ”

The murderous dagger reluctantly lowered the muzzle of the gun and closed the insurance. "Okay."

The battle entered the part of cleaning up the battlefield.

Only two of the four people left behind by the academy died, one of them was a droid and one was a prosthetic person, and some of the parts could be recycled.

The guy who was hit by the RPG before actually survived, but he fainted, and the players were also incredible.

In addition to this, there was a female prospector who was shot in the abdomen and right leg and was almost incapacitated. The "killer whale" transport plane contains medical kits, including a spray to stop bleeding, bandages to speed up wound healing, and oral reagents to speed up hematopoiesis, which are produced by Kangmao Group in Ideal City.

Lao Bai asked for a few medical kits from Sun Ze, distributed a few to his teammates, and then walked over to the female prospector who was leaning against the crooked neck tree.

Looking at the man walking towards him, Chen Yutong's originally weak breathing became short, and his eyes shrank back in fear, but he quickly gasped in pain because of the wound. Staring at the burly man in front of her, she said in a trembling voice. "You...... What do you want to do..."

Almost everyone on the planet——— even whether they are human or not, regard them as "sweet and sweet". Even if they are not interested in their knowledge, biomimetic prosthetics can sell for a lot of money.

She had heard how miserable it was for researchers who fell to other forces, but she didn't expect that she would encounter such a situation one day. What will happen next, she can't even think about it..

However, the man in front of her didn't do anything to her. "Bandage your wounds, or do it yourself." "Bandage" Chen Yutong looked at him vigilantly, with obvious distrust written on his face, "You...... Why, you want to save me" Lao Bai said casually.

"No why, our army does not kill prisoners."

Except for mutants and marauders who throw people into the oil pan to boil.

If you want to blame this game, it's too realistic, and he can't help but get angry sometimes.

However, in fact, since the opening of the mines in Bluestone County, they have rarely executed marauders, except for mutants who are still unforgiving.

Those who refused to surrender were hanged in public, while some of the minions were sentenced to hundreds of years of hard labor based on the confessions of the victims.

As for the raw materials in the downstream of the active substance and nutritional paste industry chain, they have basically been replaced with slime fruiting bodies, although the conversion rate is not high, but the quantity is large and cheap.

Chen Yutong looked blankly at the man in power armor in front of him. When did the enterprise have this tradition

Seeing that this guy still had the strength to speak, Lao Bai threw the medical kit next to her. "Since you can still move, I won't help you." Wearing power armor, he is also not very easy to control power.

Glancing at the medical kit, Chen Yutong hesitated and stretched out his hand, and whispered thank you when he lowered his head.

Lao Bai didn't care, walked to the side to take a look at the condition of the other prisoner, and walked straight to the outside of the temporary camp.

The team members who had gone to support Group 5 have returned. In addition to the pilot and "his SSSR-class pet", he also brought back a sniper with a mouth full of mud and a android tied up in rice dumplings.

"These guys...... Sure enough, it's from the academy. Looking at the expressionless android, Sun Ze had a surprised expression on his face, and muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Lao Bai looked at the pilot curiously and asked. "How is this judged," Sun Ze said with a smile.

"It's too easy, the androids of the Kangmao Group are much more advanced than them." Lao Bai was stunned.

He hadn't seen the faces of the company's androids on the battlefield, and this was the first time they had confronted the androids head-to-head.

More advanced than the college's. Is there such a thing?

Xuan Feng lay expressionlessly, not very concerned about this innocuous mockery.

Zhao Xiao, who was standing next to him, was a little excited, and when he heard that someone was mocking the technology of the academy, and comparing it with the company as an example, he suddenly jumped up like a rabbit that had been stepped on by its tail. Gulping out the mud in his mouth, he glared at the arrogant guy. Fart you guys... Which one is more advanced than us?"

"Otherwise" Sun Ze glanced at this guy twice, he really couldn't help laughing, and continued in a teasing tone,

"You can't even make a simulated emotion program and an expression adjustment plug-in, so you guys are also worthy of talking about advanced?"

"Keep farting! Who told you we couldn't do it? You still stole the core technology of AI from us."

Zhao Xiao's face flushed anxiously and argued. "We're just too lazy to waste time on that kind of pointless thing."

It's useful to give the robot so many bells and whistles! Can something like an android work, isn't it okay Sun Ze plucked his ears and said disdainfully.

"It's okay to steal...... That's the old yellow calendar many years ago, and even the end point cloud has been updated with more than a dozen new versions, and you still can't forget it. By the way, if you really want to talk about it, then what AI core is also the technology of the Human Union, at most, it will be kept with you for the time being, how can it become yours"

Although the secrets of a century and a half ago are rarely mentioned, they are no secret in Ideal City, and if you take a moment, you can even check the action records of the lifting of the ban on the endpoint cloud.

But even if he was interested, he had no interest in delving into the past.

The research institute on the East Coast was originally funded by the Ministry of Production, and water, electricity, food, research consumables, and consumer goods all came from the Ministry of Production, and their ancestors simply took what belonged to them. At worst, the bankruptcy of the Post-War Reconstruction Board was not the responsibility of any one individual. It's just like a big tree that has gone through its life cycle.

He felt that even without the Willant and the long winter, there would be other problems that would divide them, who were not all the way.

Maybe someday in the future. The ideal city will also disappear in the long river of history, just like the once flourishing people's union.

But honestly, he really doesn't care.

Even the sun is not eternal, and how dare mortals say it is eternal.

He didn't want to stretch his neck to look too far ahead, and he didn't want to be a person with his neck twisted back, and now the soles of his feet were quite good.

When he returns to Ideal City, he can go to the endpoint cloud to brag about it and share a new life.

Not only did he take the same flight as the legendary Burning Corps, but he also fell from the sky with them.

This is not much better than the 2000 points of "Battle Royale".

However, the captive's attitude still made him a little unhappy, so he looked at Lao Bai, who was standing aside watching the play. "Can I give him two feet?"

After all, it wasn't a prisoner he had captured, so he asked anyway out of politeness. Lao Bai shrugged his shoulders and said with a grin.

"We can't mistreat the captive, but I can let him go for the time being and let you fight fairly." Sun Ze shrunk his neck. "That's okay."

Zhao Xiao looked eager to try, but he didn't expect the guy who was on the line with him to be intimidated, and he immediately squirted his tongue in disappointment.

However, I don't know if it was intentional or not, this disdainful vomiting happened to be heard by Sun Ze, and the two started a war of words again. It's obvious, though.

In the matter of intimidation and yin and yang weirdness, it is obvious that the employees of enterprises who have been surfing on the endpoint cloud all year round are more experienced.

It was completely Zhao Xiao's unilateral red-facedness.

Anyway, it seems that the plane can't be repaired, and the players watching the excitement next to it also discussed it with great interest. "I think it's better to be more advanced in the company, and those androids understand art films, and they can buy things and pay." ”

"That's not necessarily, I think that mantis knife is more awesome, Lao Tzu is almost gone......"

Talking about something terrible in a casual tone, Ye Shi stretched his neck and looked around, and suddenly found that there was no one missing, "I just wanted to ask, quit smoking"

The sixth man in the corner of the wall, "Hey, that guy is gone, did you just find out, wait, why should I say it again" "It's gone" Ye Shi was stunned, he really didn't pay attention to it just now, and then asked, "What about the prop brother?"

The sixth man in the corner smiled embarrassedly, "That guy was shot twice in the leg, and when he was just in the reeds, he asked me to make up for him... And let me not tell everyone. Ye Shi couldn't help but say, "It's a waste." ”

The old six in the corner smiled shyly and said, "Department of intelligence, it's normal for you to be weak, understand." "Lost and new" hahahaha "Tempest" ......"

Chen Yutong looked at these people nervously.

When she saw the two sets of recovered exoskeletons, she guessed that most of them were dead people, but she didn't understand why these people could still laugh. What made her even more nervous was that Zhao Xiao.

This kid had a quarrel with the employees of that company, and the more she scolded, the more ugly it became, and she was really worried about what these people would do to them.

The only thing that surprised her was what the man in power armor had just said. They are not in the same group as the company,' Chen Yutong thought in his heart.

But. Whether it was or not, their mission seemed to have failed, and it didn't seem to make much sense to study it now.

In the corner not far away, Luo Yu touched Xiao Yu's head comfortingly.

"Alright, don't be depressed...... That guy isn't an organism, it's normal not to be able to eat, and you're able to control it, and it's already helped me a lot. By the way, don't pick up anything and stuff it in your mouth, what's wrong with eating your stomach" The brothers of the Burning Corps changed the rope to tie the iron lump, but they didn't need it to continue to tie the thing with tentacles.

Xiao Yu still had a frustrated expression on his face, and he muttered in his mouth. "Uh-huh—" It still couldn't understand. Why can't that thing be eaten?

At this time, the murderous dagger who had just finished reporting the progress of the mission walked in the direction of everyone. "New mission," Lao Bai immediately looked at him and asked. "What does the manager say," the murderous dagger said helplessly.

The manager said...... Let's stand by near the crash site. Lao Bai frowned.

"I'm afraid we can't afford to be here for too long...... Did you tell him about the firefight with the Academy's exploration team?"

"Anyway, he's still praising us in the mission pop-up window for doing a good job..." The killer dagger smiled embarrassedly and continued, "Anyway, he's busy negotiating with the company to see if he can convince them to send another plane..." But the company seemed to be shocked, they didn't expect to lose a plane. "Well done ok.

Lao Bai looked at him stunned and asked in a low voice. "Ah......h It doesn't matter, right?"

"It doesn't matter if the pilot is okay," the killer dagger glanced at the cerebral palsy who was still arguing with the captive, "The company means that it doesn't matter if the plane is really not repaired and it blows up, but the pilot must live, otherwise they won't risk it for us again...... That's the bottom line. The surrounding players looked stunned.

After a long while, Yashi scratched his head, and reluctantly glanced at the transport plane, as well as the co-pilot next to the transport plane who was scratching his ears and cheeks at the manual. He finally couldn't help but complain. "Mom...... If you break an engine, throw it.

。 "

What a waste!

The edge of the kingdom of the golden lizard.

A man dressed in rich attire stood on a sand dune, followed by a column of brightly dressed dismounted cavalry. His name is Blair Golden Lizard, and he is the prince of the Golden Lizard Kingdom.

Looking at the tracked car coming in the distance, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he opened his arms from afar.

"Welcome! Friends from afar! On behalf of the Golden Lizard Royal Family, I welcome you!"

Placed with the hundred or so cavalry behind Blair, the angular tracked car in the distance looked out of place, but there was no sense of disobedience against the background of the wasteland. The car stopped on the dunes.

Li Ke, who got out of the car, walked up to the aristocratic-looking man, smiled slightly and stretched out his right hand, replacing the hug with a handshake.

Li Ke, a B-level researcher, on behalf of the Special Planning Team of the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Academy, I would like to extend my greetings to you. ”

Blair didn't care that the B-class researcher didn't hug him, but was pleasantly surprised by the level of the visitor.

Generally speaking, Class A and B researchers rarely leave the Academy, let alone leave the swamp. Welcoming a B-class researcher to the interview seems to have only been done twice in the history of the Golden Lizard Dynasty. "We have a palace for you to stay...... Please come with me. ”

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the tracked car, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly smiled embarrassedly, "Of course, you are fine in the car...... We'll show you the way ahead. Li Ke smiled and nodded. Then it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. ”

The academy has not changed over the years, at least in the matter of following the local customs, they have "sacrificed" a lot.

A long time ago, it was precisely because they did not know how to be flexible and did not pay attention to politics that they were robbed of their family property by two rebels.

Under the leadership of Dr. Conclusion, the Faculty has carried out a series of painful reforms, strengthened cooperation with the outside world on the basis of academic excellence, and established two administrative departments, the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Internal Affairs, which are parallel to the Department of Investigation and the Department of Research.

According to the guiding ideology of the Conclusion, in the past 150 years, they have used some "simple techniques" to encircle a group of weaker survivor settlements, and established a "scientific committee" with the academy as the core in the swamp.

Under the framework of the Science and Technology Committee, they can absorb fresh blood from the affiliated survivor settlements into the academy to become grassroots cadres, exchange limited sharing technology for the "primary industry" and "secondary industry" of vassals, and build it into a moat for the academy by virtue of the dependence of those survivor settlements on the academy.

The Kingdom of the Golden Lizard is one of the moats of the Academy, and it is also one of the greatest political achievements since the establishment of the Department of Foreign Affairs. The food it produces supplies not only the Academy, but also the Academy's other "technical allies" in the swamp.

Today, the war in Luoxia Province has seriously affected the production of grain.

In particular, a nuclear bomb was even detonated last month, which caused even more panic within the Science and Technology Commission. Many fear that the storm that swept through the desert would spill radioactive fallout onto the farmland of Oasis 8.

Although this kind of concern seems a bit funny in the wasteland, who does not touch it in these years, in order to appease the anxious children, the chief technology officer of the academy still did some necessary work after listening to the report of the science and technology committee, and handed over the task of mediating the war to the foreign affairs department. To be honest, Li Ke found it difficult.

As for the company's current posture of "fighting according to the head of the legion", even his android assistant feels that the probability of a full-scale war is close to sixty percent.

I wonder if by the beginning of spring next year, the tide of clones will rush into Luoxia Province with the Legion's strategic nuclear reserves on their backs.

But even so, he felt that if he didn't do anything, the little inheritance left by his ancestor in Luoxia Province might not last a few years.

A good choice is to persuade companies to accept it when they see it.

However, according to the pilot named Yukal, the Legion was not beaten on the head by the Corporation, but by a group of banded wastelanders. This was completely unexpected.

No matter how weak the deployment of the legion in Luoxia Province is, it is still the legion that dominates the west of the Central Continent. Those guys are working day and night with what they call barbarians.

Mutants and xenomorphs fight against each other, so that they can't defeat a group of wastelanders. At one point, he suspected that Yukal was lying. But he really couldn't analyze the motive of the guy's lying.

So I decided to go to the vassal country to understand the actual situation before making the next step.

If, as Yukar said, it is the "coalition" that is leading the war, and the corporation is just fanning the flames behind it.

It is obviously much easier to convince a regional survivor force to accept it than to convince their old enemies to cease fire.

Li Ke returned to the car and motioned for the driver to follow the group of cavalry on. And yet at this moment...... Suddenly, he received a call from the Foreign Affairs Department. "Failed"

Sitting up from his chair suddenly, Ricke's face was full of surprise. Impossible.

The "Beacon" team is also well-known in the Containment Planning Team of the Investigation Division, and those people are experts in exploring ruins.

How could it be that even a half-dead gnader and its mother of resentful seeds could not deal with it.

Realizing that the situation might be more complicated than he imagined, Li Ke frowned slightly and continued to ask without stopping. "What the hell is going on," continued on the other end of the communication channel.

"According to the leader of the beacon squad, they met the transport plane of the enterprise ... A group of people came down from above and intercepted the mother's body. And by all indications, the parent should be related to the company, not only did it not attack the company's employees, but it also helped the company's employees capture one of our android operators. "Aircraft of the enterprise

Li Ke was stunned, and his face quickly became serious. Although he was reluctant to read too much into it, the appearance of the company's plane near the swamp was not a friendly gesture. Especially since they have been studying those varieties of slime molds behind the scenes...... His index finger pressed his eyebrows, and he thought for a moment. "Can a captured android be contacted?"

"Can't be reached...... They must have wrapped it in some metal object, or removed its communication chip. "Yes. The other party is not stupid. Li Ke closed his eyes and thought for a long time. His first priority was to mediate the war.

As for that matrix... Although he was very interested, if it was made by the company, the matter was beyond his purview, and it was up to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs or even the college's chief technology officer to decide how to deal with it.

"Don't act rashly in this matter, let the Beacon team stop the operation and be on standby, and don't reveal our identities."

The other end of the communication channel hesitated.

"But...... We have already shot down their planes. The corners of Li Ke's mouth twitched.

"It's okay, that kind of industrial waste will have problems even if you leave it alone... Maybe they fell off on their own. A wry smile came from the other end of the communication channel. "We have captives at their hands." "Androids"

"No...... It was an E-Class Operator, perhaps two or three unsure, who had retreated too hastily to confirm the condition of their teammates. "These bunches of waste, who have not done enough to do more than they have failed!

Li Ke couldn't help but curse in his heart, took a deep breath, and tried to lower his soaring blood pressure. However, at this moment, he had completely forgotten that it was he who ordered that the mother must be caught. Captive...... It's a hassle indeed.

The Academy's Al can guarantee absolute loyalty, but not necessarily a person, let alone an E-class.

Thankfully, the E-Class should not have access to the full information of the mission, and even if interrogated, they probably won't be able to ask anything sensitive.

The first priority now is "war mediation". As for the maternity thing......

Without the authorization of the chief technology officer, even if he wanted to make money, he couldn't do anything with the authority in his hand, and he couldn't send another exploration team over. The Investigations Division would never agree.

The index finger tapped on the armrest of the seat, and Li Ke said slowly. "It is the captives who are recognized."

There was silence on the other end of the communication channel for a moment.

"Yes......"

1 second to remember:
