Chapter 171: The Scarecrow
In the evening, quicksand station.
It was supposed to be a lively time for caravans to come here for the night and people gather to drink and brag, but today the whole town is surprisingly quiet.
People were hiding inside the buildings, and outside there were neat footsteps.
Through the window, you can see armored vehicles driving into the town, the rangers who came down are all wearing exoskeleton armor, and after a while, an armored float slowly landed in the center of the town, followed by three gunships.
Let's get off the book
The man who stepped out of the hovercar made the townspeople look terrified.
"Scarecrow".
The third-in-command of the Barossa Group is also the top leader of the Barossa Group in the region.
Rumor has it that the Scarecrow was once wounded and disfigured in battle, so he wears a scarecrow-like mask at all times and in all places, hence his nickname.
The rangers, who were usually unattended, did not even dare to speak out when they saw the arrival of the scarecrow, and they stood respectfully on both sides of the road, bowing their heads and not even daring to look directly at the scarecrow's personal guards passing in front of them.
Unlike them, these exoskeleton-clad guards are the best of the best.
The current battle is like a war.
After getting out of the car, the scarecrow walked straight to the commander of the local rangers, who bowed his head in front of him and looked like he had done something wrong.
The scarecrow began, "Tell me about the situation. ā
"The Ranger squad sent out was wiped out, and we found the mercenary leader at the time......"
Before the words fell, a heart-rending scream came from the room behind him.
The Scarecrow impatiently pushed the Ranger Commander away and walked straight to the room behind him.
As soon as I pushed the door, there was a pungent smell of blood inside.
The screaming man was firmly handcuffed to his chair, his face covered by blood, and his clothes were full of gaps, through which deep wounds could be seen.
The wrists of his handcuffed hands were connected to wires, and on the table in front of him were a few empty syringes left over from the injections, which allowed him to stay in a state of high energy at all times, so that he would not faint from the pain.
Not far from the man, there were two corpses that had been tortured to death.
One of them was a woman, the other was a young man who looked fifteen or sixteen years old.
Seeing the scarecrow entering the door, the handcuffed man shrank and said weakly, "I don't know, I really don't know what they're here for!" ā
Seeing this, the Ranger Commander immediately stepped forward and added, "They left the caravan and returned to the town to find our men, and I sent a hovercar to bring them here, and all the mercenaries who stayed there have been executed." ā
This time, for the first time in recent years, someone dared to attack their people.
In the past, even the Foster family and Chai Ke's people had to look at their faces after they came to the "outside world".
A whole squad of Rangers confessed, and the loss was not insignificant.
The commander has been in a state of fear all day, and if he angers the people above him, I am afraid that even he will be unlucky.
"IāI really don't know anything......"
The handcuffed mercenary was already a little delirious, and could only repeat the phrase mechanically.
"I believe in you."
The scarecrow glanced at him.
Pulling out the gun, he tilted a whole shuttle of bullets on the mercenary's body.
Every shot was like a hammer slamming into the Ranger Commander's heart, and he watched the mercenary's lifeless body still twitch with the ammunition, and the blood in his body came out of the holes in his body like a Jedi, and only fear was left in his heart, because he seemed to see a possible end for himself.
"It sucks."
After tilting the bullet like a vent, the scarecrow continued, "It's really bad, the big boss is very angry this time, because some of our business partners have begun to question the effect of CTEA-32 because of the 'black hand'. ā
Videos of Pelton being shot and killed while taking CTEA-32 have been circulated everywhere, which has had a huge impact on their business.
It is hard to believe how much of a role it has played on the battlefield since the previously vaunted biological weapon has finally died at the hands of a group of enforcers.
And the culprit who caused all this was Lu Xiang, the law enforcement supervisor of the 17th District.
The situation in the Seventeenth District is unclear now, and it is difficult for them to do it directly, but no one would have imagined that Lu Xiang would suddenly leave the barrier of the Seventeenth District and come to the "outside world", and let them lose a ranger squad.
This can be described as a new hatred of the old and a hate.
"The manpower and arms outside have been handed over to you, and the big boss hopes to hear some exciting good news tonight."
As he spoke, the scarecrow reached into his pocket and pulled out a needle.
Seeing the items in the other party's hands, Ranger Commander Tong Kong shrank, he naturally recognized CTEA-32.
Once the drug is injected, there is no turning back.
However, he had to take the injection handed to him by his immediate boss.
Seeing this, the scarecrow nodded with satisfaction, "This is the last chance to make meritorious contributions, I hope you don't miss it, if you fail again......"
His gaze jumped over the commander and the dead mercenary and landed on the corpses of the woman and the young man in the corner, "I'm afraid the punishment of death will not wash away the sins you have committed. ā
The commander's heart shuddered, and he immediately understood the scarecrow's deep meaning.
Whatever they did to that mercenary's subordinates and family would ultimately fall on him.
Because, the Barossa Group, from the very beginning, has been such a brutal organization.
"I see."
The Commander took a deep breath and clenched the syringe in his hand, "I'll use it properly." ā
ā¦ā¦
After receiving the commander's promise, the scarecrow returned to his armored hover, which quickly disappeared into the night sky with the roar of the engine.
However, as he promised, his personal guards remained.
Armored vehicles, helicopter gunships, exoskeleton armor, drones, EMP explosives......
This is enough force to subvert a small town of a neutral country, and all of this is for one goal at the moment - to make it impossible for Lu Xiang to return to the Seventeenth District alive.
Their customers want to see some exciting news that will make them feel like they're getting their money's worth.
"Line up."
After the armoured hovercar disappeared for a long time, the commander suddenly raised his voice.
This voice echoed in the town for a long time, "Prepare for action, meet the target, and kill!" ā
The sound of checking his gear and the uniform pace gave him the best response.
This night,
They must make it clear to everyone what happens to being an enemy of the Barossa Group.
