In order to loot all the materials left in the lower area of the molten rock post before the arrival of the enemy's receiving fleet.

Meng Lei didn't dare to delay, and immediately told everyone to be fully armed and go into the water to salvage.

Of course, the two wounded soldiers, Xu Hui and Hawke, remained on the ship.

In addition, Meng Lei did not personally lead the team to carry out the salvage mission, and he and the girl also stayed.

When I was at the clinic before, I could tell from the girl's words.

For this painting skin infection incident, the girl definitely has some inside information.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to utter that conspiracy theory.

Meng Lei was very curious, and at the same time, in order to be able to provide more detailed information for the Sil City Alliance in the future.

Therefore, he planned to find out more about the girl and what she knew.

In the whole process of escape, the girl has always shown very strong.

Traveling through a city full of corpses and flesh, witnessing countless bloody and brutal scenes, the girl was only scared to cry once in the air corridor.

In addition, she did not drag everyone back during the whole process, but took the initiative to take over Charlie's position and became Xu Hui's crutch.

A girl with such a tough and kind personality is indeed rare.

But since everyone escaped, the girl's mood has been very low, and she doesn't have the excitement of the rest of her life.

The whole person looks a little lost and depressed.

After Meng Lei raised his question, he waited for a while, but saw that the girl did not react.

So he turned around and took a cigarette from the command room and lit it, and sat silently beside the girl.

The long-lost nicotine fills the lobes of the lungs, and the smoke dispels the tiredness and blurs the vision.

"Aunt Dolly said that you have certain clues that can uncover the truth about this painted skin infection.

Regarding your privacy, I have no intention of halling, just to know what all this is going on, lest there will be more tragedies in the future......"

Meng Lei's voice was calm, with a hint of gentleness, which seemed to be able to blow away the haze.

The girl was silent for a long time.

In the end, it seemed that it was Aunt Dolly's words that moved her.

She tightened her arms tightly. The arm of the leg, with an extremely insecure look, said softly:

"My boyfriend, he's the stationmaster's secretary at the Molten Rock outpost.

This morning he came to my house out of the blue, and told me that he would wait for me there before five o'clock in the afternoon, and that he would go to the upper borough anyway.

Then...... He looked anxious.

It's like if I don't do what he asks, something terrible will happen to me......"

Hearing this, Meng Lei's eyes lit up, and he immediately captured some key information in the girl's words.

"Your boyfriend informed you in the morning? In other words, he knew in advance that there would be chaos in the city tonight? ”

"Yes."

The girl nodded and gave Meng Lei an affirmative answer.

Meng Lei took a deep breath and carefully recalled the time when they entered the city, which was almost around five o'clock.

Suddenly, a chill rose from behind.

No more information is needed, just from what the girl has revealed so far.

The top management of the Site Alliance was absolutely aware of this large-scale painting skin infection, but they did not prevent or prevent it.

This suggests that they are either behind the scenes, or they have some kind of cooperation with the real ones.

But in either case, the top level of the site alliance is absolutely inextricably linked.

At this time, the girl continued:

"He's a nice guy, he's been nice to me and he's never done anything bad.

I believe everything he says, and I believe that he will give me an explanation in the end.

So I followed his request and went to the upper administrative district early to wait.

But when I think of his panicked look in the morning, I feel very uneasy, worried that something bad will happen.

So I wanted to take Aunt Dolly with me and take refuge in the upper floor.

Aunt Dolly has taken good care of me since my parents died, and I can't leave her behind if something really happens.

But......

Aunt Dolly wasn't at the clinic at the time, I searched for a long time on the lower floor and ended up missing the time.

Until the shaft passage was destroyed, the first skin infections broke out.

I finally knew what he was worried about......"

Speaking of this, the girl's eyes were slightly red, and there was a glittering sparkle.

She buried her head in her knees, shrugged her shoulders slightly, sobbed softly, and said:

"I don't understand! I don't understand why he did it!

He is a very good man, he has never done anything bad, and he has never hurt anyone else with the power in his hands!

But why, why did he not stop it when he knew that there would be an outbreak of a new type of painting skin infection?

Why do you want to watch everyone go to a dead end?!

Why the hell?! ”

The girl's emotions were a little out of control, and the long-suppressed disappointment and doubts exploded.

She felt lost and at a loss about her boyfriend's behavior.

Meng Lei sighed heavily, and he didn't know how to comfort the girl.

A person who has always been extremely trusted, suddenly does something that subverts his cognition, and the collapse of faith in an instant is indeed sinking. Despair.

However, after thinking about it again and again, Meng Lei still spoke softly and comforted the girl:

Perhaps, he was also forced to do so? That's it, don't think too much......"

The girl did not speak and continued to cry.

The blow this incident has undoubtedly caused her is quite huge, in addition to the change of her boyfriend, there is also the death of her relatives.

Under the double blow, the heavy damage is estimated to be difficult to recover for a long time.

But Meng Lei is now thinking more about what the other party's purpose is in planning this painting crisis.

Plus, who they really are.

At the moment, it is certain that the girl's boyfriend, including the stationmaster of the Molten Rock Outpost, these two are definitely not from the Alliance.

In other words, they have long been infiltrated by hostile forces and defected from the alliance.

There are all kinds of indications that they will most likely be members of the Painted Skin Sect.

Only that kind of fanatical extremist would shout the slogan of science and symbiosis and do such a terrible thing.

However, the possibility that they are members of a splinter group cannot be ruled out.

Through the means of planting blame, he threw the blame on the painting skin sect.

First, it can achieve the goal of shaking the stability of the alliance, and second, it can also remove its own suspicions, so as to make a big fuss.

Meng Lei thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have any clue.

With these clues at his disposal, he was unable to draw a strong argument to prove the true identity of the other party.

During this time, he asked the girl some more questions, all about the girl's boyfriend.

However, there is not much to gain.

In the end, he simply didn't think about it, this problem was left to the alliance for a headache, and there was no point in him being idle here.

With the arrival of Blue Star players, an undercurrent began to surge among the various forces of the alien planet.

Today's incident may just be a fuse.

The real chaos and strife may break out in the future, and he must make the Chongming fleet strong as soon as possible before that.

And, you have to build a base of your own.

In this way, you can barely gain a foothold and have a foothold in this alien ocean!

Gently lift the girl up from the ground and let her go to the crew room to rest first.

Meng Lei put on a diving suit and also joined the ranks of salvage materials.

Time is tight, and every minute saved is a minute.

About half an hour later, all kinds of materials scattered in the building facilities in the lower area were basically salvaged by everyone.

During this period, the crowd also encountered a few wandering painted skin parasites.

Because before going into the water, Meng Lei had already made everyone prepare accordingly and carried sufficient firepower.

Therefore, these non-large-scale painted skin parasites have never posed much of a threat.

The point is that the number of people in the lower area is already scarce, and the number of painted skins is quite limited.

Some of the people left behind in the previous ransack of the storage area were wiped out, and some of them swam through the gap in the wall.

In fact, the number of painted skin parasites in the entire building is very small.

"How? You've almost checked it, right? ”

On the Guiru, Meng Lei looked at the excited people in front of him and asked with a smile.

"Captain, it's almost all clean!"

"The entire warehouse has been filled with nearly one-third, and our harvest this time is absolutely amazing!"

"I estimate that these things are worth hundreds of thousands of marks...... to say the least."

……

There were beads of sweat on everyone's foreheads, but their faces were full of excitement and excited smiles.

White prostitution is cool!

It's always cool to be a prostitute!

After three days at sea, there are hundreds of thousands of gains, not counting the few submarines picked up for nothing.

If you add those submarines, the total income from this visit to the molten rock outpost is almost as high as nearly one million marks!

Most of the ordinary alien civilians, even if they are poor all their lives, it is difficult for them to earn so much money!

For Meng Lei, the biggest gain this time was not those materials.

The key lies in those submarines.

With these submarines, the size of the heavy fleet will be greatly increased.

The next time you go to sea, you'll have enough ability to explore deeper waters.

At the same time, you can also claim more difficult missions, earn more money and prestige, and accelerate the development of the entire fleet!

It's like snowballing.

As long as the initial primitive accumulation is completed, the advantage will be greater and greater!

Thinking like this, Meng Lei suddenly had some expectations, when Chen Yu learned the harvest of his trip, what kind of expression would the mature and steady middle-aged man have on his face.

It must be very exciting.

"Okay, without further ado, according to the previous assignment, everyone immediately returned to their posts and prepared to go!"

Meng Lei waved his hand and gave an order to everyone.

"Yes!"

Several people immediately straightened their legs, agreed with a bang, and then turned around and left in diving suits.

In addition to the Sea Locust, there are three of the several submarines near the dock dock that are comparable in size and performance to the Sea Locust.

And in fact, there are currently a total of five ownerless submarines docked here.

However, due to the limited manpower, in order to avoid accidents during the voyage.

Meng Lei just let Lenny, Hans, and Simon drive the three highest-value submarines on the road.

The remaining two submarines can only endure the pain.

Meng Lei knows that he can't be too greedy, and he is very satisfied to have such a harvest when he goes to sea this time.

"That's right."

When Simon and the others walked out of the airlock of the Sea Locust, while they were activating the submarine's energy equipment.

Meng Lei turned to look at Hawke and asked:

"If you want to get in touch with the alliance, which direction are we going in now?"

Hawke lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said:

"It seems that the beacon sites in the vicinity have been deliberately destroyed.

If you want to reconnect to the network, you either have to fix the beacon station, or you have to run dozens of kilometers away to find a place with a signal.

Both paths are possible, captain, you decide. ”

Meng Lei frowned and asked again:

"And if it's a beacon station, how long will it take?"

At this time, Karl walked over and responded:

"Ordinary small problems can be solved in ten minutes, even if the reactor or site structure is damaged.

In that case, things are trickier. ”

Hearing this, Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully.

After thinking about it for a moment, he finally decided.

For the sake of safety, it is better to find a connected sea area first and report the information to the public.

The uncertainty of fixing the beacon station is too strong, and they don't have that time to waste right now.

Then, with the reference of Hawke and Carl, Meng Lei selected a coordinate point fifty kilometers away.

According to the two people, the wireless network signal in that sea area belongs to another beacon station, and there is a high probability that the signal will be received.

At that moment, Meng Lei no longer hesitated.

After Simon had all three of them activated the submarine, he drove the Sea Locust to the head of the sea locust, and led the team to the coordinate point.

On the way, Meng Lei told Huo Ye and Karl who were left behind on the Sea Locust to go to the warehouse to count the supplies.

As a captain, he always needs to have a general idea of the resources at his disposal.

When I went back and waited for Sil City, whether to sell it or keep it for myself to digest, and then re-plan the distribution according to the situation.

In addition, during the voyage, he had nothing to do, and exported the things captured by the built-in camera of the diving suit into the central control terminal.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to being close-fitting and lightweight, the combat diving suit is extremely tough.

There's also a built-in camera located inside the hood to record everything that's happening underwater.

The video evidence provided during the previous mission to complete the Swift Dragon's Lair was taken from the video taken by the diving suit.

And the whole process of them rushing out from the molten rock outpost just now was also filmed by him.

As long as this evidence is submitted, it will definitely attract the attention of the alliance!

Four submarines of similar size, but of different shapes, form a narrow queue and crisscross the dark abyss-like depths.

Along the way, everyone did not encounter any sea monsters.

For a small fleet that has begun to take shape, the roar of the engines is enough to bring great deterrence.

Generally, a small-scale group of sea monsters would not think of taking the initiative to attack, and they would have avoided it a long time ago.

This made Meng Lei realize a problem.

It seems that the idea of concentrating the fleet on tasks is a little unrealistic.

In such a group, the sea monsters did not dare to show up at all for the clearing task of difficulty below level B.

In this way, they can only temporarily split up.

Or, you have to focus on those difficult tasks in the future.

But the more difficult tasks are too challenging for rookies like their Blue Star players.

If you are not careful, it is easy to be wiped out!

You know,

A.-class and A+-class missions already include large-scale hunting missions such as hunting hammerhead and moluok.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

The difficulty is huge!

And the higher S-class missions are generally to explore alien ruins,

Or explore uncharted seas, open up new shipping lanes to deep areas, and so on, which are full of unknowns and great risks.

Either way, it's undoubtedly a huge challenge for players at this stage!

In the end, how to maximize the use of advantages and obtain the maximum benefits in a short time, Meng Lei does not have a clear clue for the time being.

"When I go back this time, I will discuss it with Chen Yu and see if there are any new discoveries over there......"

While thinking, an hour passed quickly.

At this time, the hatch of the bridge command room opened from the outside, and Huo Ye and Huo Ke walked in with a book in their hands and an excited face.

"Commander! It's all counted! ”

As soon as he entered the door, Huo Ye couldn't help but shout excitedly.

Meng Lei came back to his senses, cleared his messy thoughts out of his mind, took a deep breath, and asked:

"Well, how much do you have in stock?"

Huo Ye looked down at the contents recorded in the notebook, and reported one by one:

"In addition to the resources we carried, the materials we picked up from the lava outpost this time have a total of ten boxes of various raw ores, worth about 50,000 marks.

Four boxes of dehydrated vegetables, worth about 80,000 marks.

Two boxes of underwater weapons produced by Daryl Arms, including assault rifles, hand-held grenade launchers, etc., a total of 20 pieces.

Including ammunition, it is estimated to be worth 50,000 marks.

In addition, there are vegetable seeds, equipment components, medical supplies, various foods, etc......

All these supplies add up, almost 200,000 marks!

Overall, the total value of the things we just salvaged is about 400,000 marks! ”

Huo Ye put down the notebook in his hand and looked at Meng Lei with burning eyes, his face full of excitement.

400,000 prostitutes for nothing, it is absolutely difficult to keep calm on anyone.

After hearing this, Meng Lei's heart couldn't help but bloom.

At the same time, he was still a little shocked and regretful.

You must know that the last things they picked up were all soup and water left after others had picked them up.

The valuable goods have long been looted by others.

You can pick up 400,000 yuan when you pick up rags, and you can imagine how amazing the total value of the looted goods in the entire storage area is!

However, being able to prostitute so many things for nothing, Meng Lei was already very satisfied.

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, what kind of bicycle do you want!

was able to escape from that demon cave alive, and also prostituted three F-class submarines and 400,000 supplies for nothing.

This is already a great gift!

No matter how greedy you are, it's a bit too much to say.

"Yes, keep the flammable and explosive materials separate, and you can go to the rest meeting."

Meng Lei smiled and patted several people on the shoulder.

After a long day of continuous high-intensity rushing, and moving so many things back and forth, everyone was tired enough.

Not to mention physical strength, my spirit is almost tense to the limit, and I need to take a good rest.

Hearing this, Huo Ye and the others no longer insisted and left with a smile.

While walking, a few people were still chatting unsatisfied.

"400,000 yuan, how long will it take for us to earn 400,000 just by doing the task! This is the issue! ”

This is Huo Ye's voice, still under the huge impact of those 400,000 marks, excited and unable to extricate himself.

"This time the alliance has suffered such a big loss, it is estimated that it will hurt for a long time, if you can determine which side of the force behind the scenes belongs to, you have to attack his two sites to relieve your hatred!"

Hawke also expressed his opinion, feeling that the league will definitely launch a counterattack next.

At this time, I listened to Carl as he walked:

"Speaking of which, the league actually didn't lose much.

If you think about it, the entire Molten Outpost has fallen, and thousands of people have been turned into painted skin parasites.

If you destroy all these painted skin monsters, you can extract nearly 10,000 eggs, and they are a new type of painted skin parasite eggs!

The value of these eggs alone is at least in the millions!

The loss of the looted warehouse made up a lot at once, you say......"

Karl went further and further.

In the end, as the hatch of the bridge command room closed, his voice immediately disappeared to the other end of the hatch.

What was said later, Meng Lei couldn't hear it clearly.

It's just that the value of the eggs and the millions of dollars mentioned by Carl, Meng Lei was slightly stunned when he heard it.

He felt that he had vaguely grasped something, and a thought flashed through his mind.

He suddenly stood up and muttered to himself.

"Blocking shaft access...... Infected the whole city...... Painted Skin Worm Eggs...... Sell...... Answering ...... Blame ......"

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, and all the clues were connected in series, gradually forming a closed loop.

After a while, he took a deep breath, and a terrible thought came to his mind.

Lin just said that his boyfriend was the secretary of the stationmaster, and he informed her in advance and asked her to go to the upper administrative district to meet the other party before five o'clock in the afternoon.

From this point, it can be seen that this secretary and the stationmaster of the Molten Rock Outpost must be one of the planners of this incident.

The upper administrative district is the shelter they have planned in advance.

Let's say they're members of the Painted Skin Sect, and they orchestrated this infection in order to experiment with a new type of Painted Skin Worm eggs.

Then they don't have to block their retreat and hide in the administrative area waiting for rescue.

Just leave the Molten Rock Outpost one step ahead of schedule and wait and see how things develop.

Even if they are not members of the Painted Skin Sect, but members of the Split Sect, they have reached a cooperation with the Painted Skin Sect.

There's no reason to risk yourself and plug yourself up.

There must be other reasons for this! ”

Meng Lei took out a pen and paper, wrote and drew in the notebook, and analyzed it layer by layer according to the clues he had obtained so far.

"The secretary is Lynn's boyfriend, and he definitely won't hurt her.

Therefore, it is certain that the secretary and the stationmaster, including those of the same force as them, are still hiding in the upper administrative districts.

In addition, when we first docked, the lower security officer said it.

The Security Office held an emergency meeting on an impromptu basis and took away most of the manpower, so the security forces at the lower levels would look so empty.

From this point of view, it is very likely that those security officers who have been temporarily transferred are all in league with the stationmaster!

Why does the stationmaster need so many armed men?

Because he already knew that before he evacuated, he had to purge the whole city of painted skin parasites!

Otherwise, they would not have been able to pass through the lair of the painted skin from the upper administrative area to the shaft passage unharmed.

So why did they have to go so far and kill all the painted skin parasites?

If you kill all the painted skins, this is completely contrary to the founding purpose of the painted skin sect.

Therefore, the mastermind behind this matter will never be the Painted Skin Sect!

Ruling out this possibility, there is only one truth.

The mastermind of this disaster is the alien separation organization!

And their ultimate goal, in fact, from the very beginning, is to kill people and take eggs, and plant blame!

How to get more skin parasite eggs as quickly as possible?

Using a closed outpost to infect the entire city is undoubtedly the best choice!

High efficiency, low risk!

The key is that you can also blame the Painted Skin Sect for this matter, after all, the other party has a criminal record.

After the goal is achieved, you can also sell the collected eggs and make a lot of money! ”

Thinking of this, Meng Lei took a deep breath.

Throwing the pen on the center console, leaning back against the chair, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

According to the current speculation, everything can be explained.

The Alien Separation Organization has always tried to use the fall of the site as an excuse to suppress the prestige of the Alliance and shake the stability of the Alliance.

When the Blue Star players first arrived at the gathering place, they mixed in with the crowd and did such things.

It's just that last time they dumped the pot on the Blue Star players.

And this time, it was the Painted Skin Sect that was to blame.

This style of doing things is very much in line with their style.

It's just that this time their methods are even more cruel, and they are simply mad!

In order to achieve political goals, these damn guys have unscrupulously turned the entire city into purgatory!

If all goes well.

Suppress the alliance, plant blame, and make huge profits!

The alien separation organization can be described as killing three birds with one stone, and it makes a lot of money!

"Damn it!"

Meng Lei smashed his big punch hard. On the legs, the heart is incomparably angry.

He didn't have a good impression of the alien separation organization before, but now that he encountered such a thing, he immediately blacklisted this force.

Compete by legitimate means, no matter how fierce the fight is in the shopping mall or in the political arena, he will not have too many ideas.

can take human life as a child's play and as a victim of the struggle for power and profit, which touches his bottom line.

In particular, he himself almost folded into it and became one of the victims of this struggle.

This undoubtedly made him feel more angry than ever!

"The authoritarian alliance, the frantic separatist organization, the only two forces that are quite normal, are not good birds!

This dog. Day. The alien environment is so chaotic!

Lao Tzu must develop as soon as possible and stand alone.

Go back to all this mess and go back to grandma's house! ”
