Chapter 45: The Master of Pretending to Be Confused
Another night passed, and early the next morning, Li Ping'an packed up his mood, did not say goodbye to Lorraine, and went directly to the barracks.
Phillips and Zach were both at camp, they hadn't slept all night last night.
After Lorraine told Phillips that Li Ping'an had returned from the company's business, it took only five minutes for Zach to arrive at Phillips' camp.
"I heard that Li Ping'an has returned?" Zach asked straight to the point.
Phillips didn't expect that he had just gotten the news, and Zach actually knew about it, it seems that not only did he install Lorraine next to Li Ping'an, but it seemed that there were also Zack's people around him.
But Phillips remained silent, and simply said, "Indeed, Mr. Zucker is also well-informed. ”
Ignoring the dissatisfaction in Phillips' tone, Zach said directly: "This can't be, he shouldn't be so fast!" ”
Phillips didn't speak, just waited for Zach to follow.
Sure enough, Zach said, "Do you know what Li Ping'an's business is?" ”
"I want to hear about it."
"According to our information, his so-called business is actually an 'arms shop' in Africa, responsible for the arms business in the whole of Africa."
So Zach told Phillips about Li Ping'an's presence in Africa.
Phillips also immediately realized that it seemed that Li Ping'an had concealed what he said, and his two years were by no means wandering around without purpose, but with a plot.
If Zack's news is correct, then Li Ping'an will have more problems.
For example, the secondary reinforcement he said did not come from some "monkey-like monster", including the 'anomalous race' he told himself was probably what he deliberately told himself.
I'm afraid the real purpose is the 'Monster Serum', that's right, he wants to use the Monster Serum to strengthen it again!
Thinking of this, Phillips's heart suddenly cold, if it was really as he thought, then Li Ping'an was far from being as simple as he appeared.
He must have thought that after learning that the monster could strengthen the 'super soldier' for the second time, he would definitely spare no effort to capture the monster and create a monster serum!
At this time, a soldier came to report outside the camp, and Zach said directly: "Come in!" ”
The soldier had a telegram in his hand and handed it to Zack.
After reading it, Zach sneered and practiced: "Hmph, it seems that this Li Ping'an is really amazing, you can take a look." ”
The telegram was marked 'Top Secret' and had the Zach family coat of arms on it.
The content of the book is that Li Ping'an appeared in Africa yesterday to kill the 'Murakami' of the Killer Association, and successfully avoided the split of his company's 'armory shop'.
"It seems that this Li Ping'an also has secrets that we don't know, and he was able to travel back and forth between Africa and Brooklyn in such a short time." Zach said with a sneer.
Rao is Phillips's city government can't hold back, it seems that Li Ping'an still has his own hidden ability, which makes him very uneasy.
"Colonel, I remember asking you which side you belong to, and I'm going to ask you again today which side you belong to?" Zach stared at Phillips and asked.
"I am naturally loyal to my country!" Phillips replied categorically.
"Well, I think Li Ping'an is a threat to us, so we have to think of a way to solve him!" Zach said.
"I'm going to mobilize people." Phillips said.
"No, not now, when he completes this mission, we'll need his help with your 'Super Soldier' plan. After that, it's time to do it, and now we don't have to turn the other cheek with him. ”
Zach's words struck a chord with Phillips.
She has spent a lot of effort, financial and manpower for the super soldier plan, and if it were not for Li Ping'an, it might take longer, so it would be appropriate to be able to complete the super soldier plan and then start it.
"Now the question is, what is Li Ping'an's ability to cross the continent in a short period of time, if we don't figure it out, we probably won't be able to help him." Zach said.
"He hasn't shown it before, he just had extraordinary defense and strength and reflexes before, and then he had a few more tentacles."
"It's strange, there is no boarding record, can he not fly." Zach spit out.
Unexpectedly, this sentence reminded Phillips.
"Will fly, yes, he may fly." Phillips said.
"Last time, that Eternals could fly, Li Ping'an said that he had devoured the Eternals with his tentacles, could it be that his tentacles could absorb this ability?" Phillips suddenly realized.
This kind of conjecture also scared Zack, if Li Ping'an had this ability, then it would be too terrifying.
Combined with his own conjecture, he probably wanted to use his people to find the Eternals, and then plunder the abilities of the other Eternals.
After thinking about it carefully, he actually knew very little about Li Ping'an, but Li Ping'an kept observing himself, and when he told himself the news of the Eternals that day, he probably expected that his people would be afraid of the existence of the Eternals and wanted to control this power.
But I have to say that this is a conspiracy, the news of the Eternals has been reported, and the people in Congress must be determined to find the Eternals of "South Dakota" that Li Ping'an said.
This made the two of them more and more jealous of Li Ping'an, and they also became more determined to solve Li Ping'an's trouble.
.....
After Li Ping'an came to the barracks, he saw the colonel with a calm face and Zack with a smile on his face.
Seeing Li Ping'an's arrival. Zach stepped forward with a smile and said, "Really, you said yesterday that you didn't go too suddenly, the colonel is not very happy, but there is something in your company, it is inevitable that you will have to run around, is the matter solved?" ”
Li Ping'an was also smiling: "The matter was too sudden, and I couldn't help it, but thanks to you, the matter has been successfully resolved." ”
"That's good, next time there is something to say in advance, we are not unkind, and it is okay to give you a vacation, if the company is in trouble again, you can tell me, I still have something to do with it."
"Haha, next time, next time!" Li Ping'an smiled and didn't smile.
Actually, Li Ping'an knew that Zach was pretending to be confused, Zach also knew that Li Ping'an knew that he was pretending to be confused, and Li Ping'an also knew that Zach knew that he was pretending to be confused.
However, at the moment, the two sides still have the value of using each other, so they did not tear their faces after all.
Li Ping'an needs the military to help him find other Eternals, Zach needs Li Ping'an to defeat the Ten Rings, and Phillips needs Li Ping'an to continue researching serums.
So both sides are still maintaining basic decency.
But both sides know that after this trip to the Ten Rings, the two sides will usher in a turning point in their relationship!
(I had the opportunity to get together with friends two days ago, but I ended up sending what I wrote in advance at the wrong time and messing up the chapters, and this will not happen again in the future.) )
