Chapter 16: Virgil Disappears

[Three days later]

"Clausius, can you hear me? Report your condition. Captain Arthur had already launched a successful attack, and he would send a small detachment to Europa, which would be there in six hours. ”

"Uh...... I am fine. We were with a group of pirates, led by a guy named Joseph...... All I can say is ...... Belch...... He's a pretty ...... Well...... To be precise, it's better...... Executioner...... Oh no...... Good. ”

"What? You're with pirates? ”

"They look ...... Less aggressive...... At least as it stands. Don't worry, we've got you covered. ”

“…… Are there any new casualties? ”

"No...... We lost ten soldiers and a transport ship at the base, and after that there were no more losses...... We'll find a way to get a boat. "The other end of the radio is staggered, singing and dancing, and you can smell the wine on the other side of the walkie-talkie from 20 million kilometers away," ...... Ten more cups and the boat will leave...... Ah, no problem, of course no problem, fifty cups no problem...... Come, drink, drink...... Pour, pour again, I can still drink...... Ah, I'm sorry Blake, I'm not talking to you...... In short, we can solve it ourselves. ”

Blake had a complicated expression on his face, and Colonel Wayne was also slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly played a round: "I think Major Clausius wants to tell us that he is safe now."

"Yes, of course it's safe, maybe he's still holding a beautiful woman in his arms now. From the first day he entered the barracks, this kid was notoriously unruly, relying on the fact that his family had several factories and did all kinds of bad things, but strangely, he had a good relationship with the soldiers. Blake pretended to be indignant and said, "Once he had a fight with someone, and the matter came to the general headquarters, I repaired him severely, and after being honest for a while, he could be regarded as a little soldier, and now the prototype was revealed, and he was busy in vain." ”

"Captain Arthur ......"

"Let them go straight back, it looks like there's no need for support." Blake couldn't hide the smile on his face, and asked casually, "Oh, by the way, Messenger, you call Titan and ask how the situation is at the base, especially Virgil, how is he doing?" ”

After the communication soldier operated, a message appeared on the screen, "Titan reports that the base is well stocked, there is no sign of invasion, and everything is normal." ”

"Oh, where's Virgil?"

"Wait a minute...... Uh, they said the food inside the base was very good. ”

"They? I mean, what about Virgil? ”

"Director General Black, they say...... Uh......"

"Read it out, don't bother!" Blake was a little impatient, and a sense of foreboding came over him.

"Virgil...... Belch...... Virgil disappeared 32 days ago. "The communications soldiers hesitated for a long time, and finally had the courage to read the news out.

"What did you say?" It was like a bolt from the blue for Blake, "Haha, yes, yes!" This is the second time you have surprised me today. A five-foot-tall living person just disappeared out of thin air, and for more than 30 days, I didn't even know it. Awesome, awesome! Why not report it? Is it out of fear, or self-esteem? Oh, unhiding, imbecile performance, you're really disappointing me. I knew that the people from Olympus were simply unreliable, you said yes, Director Fairman, haha! ”

Colonel Wayne has been working under Blake for more than ten years, and he has never seen him lose his temper like today, so he hurriedly stopped: "Mr. Black, I can understand your feelings, but please act calmly, everything is important for the overall situation."

"Oh, calm down, can't you see? Isn't it written on my face? I'm calm, calm down! Of course I know the big picture, trading a child for an operation, oh, that's a good deal. No one knows this better than Director Fairman, you say yes, haha! ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Colonel Wayne took out a tranquilizer from the first-aid kit of the accompanying military doctor, pushed him down while Blake was not paying attention, and pushed the tranquilizer into Blake's jugular vein, then stood up and said, "Sir, I'm sorry."

Blake pretended to have a seizure and lay on the ground weakly. Just as Colonel Wayne was bent over, Blake noticed a red mechanical bug attached to the inside of his neckline, and sure enough, it ......

He did not make a noise, but pretended to be unconscious, otherwise all the people in this boat would die.

The communications soldier on the side had never seen such a scene, and he was at a loss for what to do, and asked softly, "Is he okay?"

"Live well. Blake suffers from intermittent mania, which he generally does not tell about and tries not to show in front of others. Colonel Wayne replied, "I've worked under him for more than ten years, and I've seen him sick twice in total, and today is the third. Don't worry, it'll be fine. Medic, take him to rest. ”

After Blake left, Colonel Wayne took over the command station and ordered the radar crew to track the location of all DH-1 fighters.

[At that time, 600 million kilometers away, Earth, Bering Strait, Olympus headquarters]

"Commander Morant, three days ago the base Europa was attacked, we lost more than twenty soldiers, and the base's database lost fifteen percent of the documents; Yesterday, a convoy bound for the outer solar system was attacked, and the entire fleet was captured; Eleven hours ago, our Europa vanguard was ambushed by interstellar pirates and lost more than a dozen soldiers, which was unprecedented ......" In Morant's office, a commander was making a report, "The reactionary forces in the outer solar system have been rampant recently, and we have to strengthen our vigilance. ”

"What do you think, Commander?" Morant was practicing pen writing and didn't seem to care about any of that.

"According to my analysis, this series of activities is not isolated, but organized and premeditated, and must have been instigated by someone in secret. Our previous clean-up operations were not thorough enough, and only ensured the purity of the inner solar system, while ignoring the outer solar system, which is the root cause of today's situation, and the possibility that the G-64 still retains some organizations cannot be ruled out. The commander was very well analysed.

"So, your countermeasure?" Morant didn't raise his head and asked casually.

"I have sent two armed guards, who are on their way to the asteroid belt, ready to strengthen the defenses there. In addition, I hope to form an expeditionary force, strengthen the control of Jupiter, and completely rid the pirates there. As long as you authorize me, I will fight for the glory of Olympus, and I promise to give you a satisfactory result. The commander spoke loudly, and the slogans were loud and loud.

Morant didn't have any expression on his face, and in the face of the surging passion of the commander, he took his eyes off the writing paper, raised his head slightly, and said lightly: "Lawrence, I want you to withdraw the troops."

The commander couldn't believe his ears, but he was speechless: "Commander Morant, you know that it is dangerous to do this, the situation is complicated now, we must take the initiative."

Morant glanced sideways at the commander and said, "I never say my orders a second time."

The commander fell into an ice cave and left in despair.

Morant glanced at the time, "Seventeen o'clock in the afternoon of Haydn time." He stood up, put on his coat, and took a private elevator to the sixty-fourth basement floor and into a laboratory. There is a super-large brainwave enhancement array, which is composed of 400 amplifiers, each of which has the ability to amplify neural signals by a million times and broadcast them to the universe with 12 million times the power. In the middle of the array is a black square medical pod with a smooth surface and a green glow from the operating panel above.

Morant ordered someone to open the medical cabin, and a fog spread into the air, and the people inside were naked and shivering. He glanced at the man and said coldly, "Congratulations, Director Hegel, your training is over."
