Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Uninvited Guest

The next morning, after Li Ping'an and Lorraine had breakfast, they were ready to report to Colonel Phillips.

As soon as he came out, a military vehicle was already waiting outside, and Li Ping'an got into the car and was pulled by the vehicle to a military camp, where Phillips had been waiting for a long time.

"You don't look like much of a problem." Seeing Li Ping'an's fierce appearance, Phillips greeted him with a salty and non-trivial greeting.

"Luckily, that guy was tough to deal with, but I was killed in the end." Li Ping'an replied seriously.

"Very good, go in first, there are people waiting for you inside." Phillips said with a solemn face.

"Wait for me? Who is it? Li Ping'an asked puzzledly, Phillips was already the supreme commander in this barracks.

But looking at Phillips's appearance, it seems that there is a higher position in the camp than him.

Phillips didn't answer Li Ping'an's question directly, he just said, "You'll know after you go in." ”

After walking a few steps, Phillips walked quickly to Li Ping'an's side, and quickly said in an almost inaudible voice when he passed behind Li Ping'an: "Be careful." ”

After entering the tent, Li Ping'an saw a man in his forties wearing a decent suit, with a pen body, and exuding a lean atmosphere.

Probably because of his pampering, his skin is very fair, and a pair of elegant gold-wire glasses are placed on the bridge of his high nose, which makes his whole person look personable and wise.

"This is Mr. Zack, a member of Congress." Phillips introduced Li Ping'an after entering.

Then he said to Zack: "This is our researcher, Mr. Li Ping'an, who is involved in the research of super soldier serum and monster serum. ”

Zach stretched out his right hand towards Li Ping'an with a smile on his face: "I have always heard that there is a person who saved Colonel Phillips twice, and today I finally saw me, you are younger and more reliable than I thought." ”

Zack's smile makes people feel like a spring breeze, and it is easy for people to have a good impression of him, but Li Ping'an's first impression of him is: smiling tiger.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, Li Ping'an knows a truth, that is: a smile is a weapon that can make people feel good without spending money.

So Li Ping'an also stretched out his hand to Zack with a smile on his face, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.

Fortunately, Li Ping'an's ability to control his body has gone further since he has tentacles, otherwise this handshake, Zack's hand will become a ball of meat sauce.

"I heard that the day before yesterday, Colonel Phillips was assassinated by a guy who could fly and had fiery eyes and called himself Eternals, and Congress was furious when he found out, after all, Colonel Phillips is a rare general in our country, and we attach great importance to it, so we sent me to express our condolences and follow up on this incident."

After the politeness, Zach stated the purpose of his visit, and in his rhetoric he fiercely praised Phillips, the supreme commander of the base.

He made it clear that he was not here to seize power, but to express his condolences to Phillips, the country's 'treasure', on behalf of Congress.

On the one hand, he deserves the favor of Phillips; On the other hand, you need to cooperate with the investigation of your identity, which was specially sent by the Congress, otherwise you will not give me face, but will not give face to the Congress.

How could Phillips, the old fritter, not understand, he said to Zack: "Thank you for the concern of the Congress, my health is fine, if you investigate here, if you need anything, you can call in advance, and I will help immediately." ”

The implication is: I know that I am not ranked in the country, but this is my territory after all, you have no problem investigating, if you need to transfer troops, you must tell me first, otherwise don't blame me for not cooperating with you.

One of these two people is an old fritter who has commanded the army for many years and has become an old man, and the other is a political upstart with a careful mind.

Naturally, they can understand the subtext of each other's words.

But Li Ping'an is blinded, as the so-called art industry has a specialty, you have to let Li Ping'an drive, maybe he understands in seconds, but let him figure out these old man's gut-twisting words, it will be too much.

"I do have some questions that I want to clarify, such as what the Eternals are?" Zach said to Li Ping'an.

Not only did Zach want to know what Eternals were, but Phillips wanted to know as well.

With such a powerful military power, they thought that they had stood at the highest point in the world, but they did not expect that there was a kind of "Eternal" who had lived for millions of years in this world.

This is not something to be happy about for them, even if the 'Eternals' claim that they are the recorders of human civilization and will not interfere in the change of humanity.

But they didn't believe it, because they had claimed to be the 'seed of civilization' to the Indians when they started out.

But how the Indians were doing, they knew it.

How can they not worry about the fact that there is a group of 'chroniclers of human civilization' who seem to have great power.

Although Li Ping'an didn't understand politics, he had watched a lot of movies and knew what this group of people were thinking, so he took out the rhetoric he had prepared a long time ago.

"Yesterday that man said his name was Ikaris, and they should have a group of companions, and the reason why he wanted to kill me was because of the 'monster serum' he researched earlier."

Li Ping'an glanced at Phillips, but didn't get any useful information from his face, so he continued.

"I don't know if you know about the so-called 'monster serum'."

"I've learned this from Colonel Phillips, and you're the only one who has been successfully fortified after the injection of serum." Zach replied.

"That's right, the monsters we call are what they call 'anomalous races.'"

"After I was injected with the serum, my body had some abnormal changes. And this mutation was felt by their 'Eternals'. ”

"Then he said that for the sake of the civilization of the earth, I must be killed, and said that human beings should not have power that does not belong to them, otherwise they are playing with fire and setting themselves on fire."

"Hmph, the process of our human race is our human business, they even want to intervene, it seems that they are not as neutral as they say." Zach expressed his opinion.

"Then he attacked me, and in order to avoid civilian casualties, we chose to fight in the suburbs. From this point of view, he does take care of humans. "Li Ping'an pretended to say a good word for the 'Eternals', but he was actually spying on Zack's attitude.

Sure enough, Zach said, "It's just fake mercy, he attacked our convoy with impunity, and you still agree too much to trust others." ”

Li Ping'an was noncommittal: "The point is, from his words, I know that he has been living in seclusion in South Dakota all these years, and he still has accomplices, but I don't know how powerful his accomplices are." ”
