Zero's whole body tightened suddenly, but it was a strong hug for George. Zero wasn't short, but George was more like a hill. Zero stood with him, and it was no more than the Phoenix officer's chest. Now he was hugged tightly by George, and Zero's face was almost pressed against his chest, and Zero was almost breathless.

After a few moments, George let go of Zero and slapped him on the back, slapping Zero almost unsteadily. The heroic officer said, "I can't see it, Zero." You kid is quite capable, I haven't seen you for more than two months, you have already mixed from the wilderness to Valhalla, and you are still the person in charge of this mission. Damn, you're going to have to treat me to a drink tonight. ”

Zero remembered the scene when the two of them were drinking in Phoenix that day, and let out a knowing smile. "No problem," he said, "but let's get down to business." Before that, let me introduce you to a few people. ”

Then, after Zero introduced Anthony and Rankine to George, he also introduced Su and others in his team by the way.

Rankine has always been dissatisfied with Zero's role as the head of the operation this time, and this time he saw that the Phoenix officer seemed to be very familiar with Zero, and he was even more disdainful. Therefore, he didn't give George any good looks. What's more, in Rankine's opinion, George, who has no special abilities, is only a little better than those refugees in the wilderness, and does not deserve his respect at all.

George didn't care either, he had seen a lot of people like Rankine who looked down on ordinary people, and in all fairness, Rankine's attitude was no longer bad.

As for Anthony, this domain-perceiving person is quite polite. The Caucasian young man always had a gentle smile on his face, a smile full of sunshine and warmth, and Zero had always thought that it was much more appropriate for him to wear a priest's robe than this tactical one, even though Anthony did not seem to believe in the Catholic one.

Anthony's abilities are very special, his profession is "Explorer", and his main abilities are "Area Scanning" and "Psychic Chains". The former can perceive the movement of the entire area within 1,000 square meters and play the role of reconnaissance and deployment, while the latter is to build a spiritual rainbow bridge with the liliang of the heart, ignoring the distance of the area to achieve zero barrier communication. With Anthony's current ability, the limit of being able to construct a spiritual rainbow bridge is five.

Suffice it to say, Anthony doesn't have great offensive ability. However, these two perceptual abilities make him an excellent auxiliary attacker, and the Vanguard's consistent fighting style is based on Anthony's two abilities to achieve efficient and flexible tactical arrangements on the battlefield. In the previous simulated actual battle, because the Pioneer did not know Zero's ability, he was killed by Zero with a "ping pong ball" first, thus paralyzing the Pioneer's entire command system. Otherwise, the Windrangers will not be able to advance smoothly.

There is no doubt that in actual combat, Anthony's ability is often more important than a purely offensive player.

After getting to know the more important members of the Zero team, George led the three of them to the vicinity of the supply vehicle and the off-road vehicle. The off-road vehicle was stained with blood and full of bullet holes, so you can imagine the fierceness of the battle at that time. As for the supply truck, it was relatively intact, except that the tires were almost all blown out. In the vicinity of the two cars, there were large blackened blood stains on the ground, which made people imagine what happened to the members of the two cars at that time.

Zero walked around the two cars and asked George, "Have you cleaned the ground nearby?"

He asked because the ground was so clean. Not only were there no bullet casings, not even footprints or any other traces.

"On the contrary, we have nothing but bringing the bodies of the victims back to the city to freeze them. The area around here was surrounded and protected by us, and we didn't touch anything at all. George smiled wryly and said, "In fact, it was the robbers who were quite cautious about this incident. When I arrived, I had done a preliminary survey, but found nothing. They cleaned up all traces of information that could have been exposed, which was really cunning. ”

As George finished speaking, the two captains of the off-road vehicle and the supply vehicle, respectively, also got out of the car. Both the smiling Anthony and the stinky-faced Rankine shook their heads at Zero, indicating that there were no clues left in the car to track.

Zero turned to Su and said, "Su, call the others." With the place of the incident as the center, a carpet search was carried out on an area of 500 square kilometers, and no subtle clues were missed. ”

The soldiers in the recruit camp are all trained in tracking and searching, and their average ability is around the third order, so they are naturally more qualified for this job than the ordinary soldiers in Phoenix. After arranging this order, Zero said to George, "Let's go back to the city and see if there are any clues on those corpses." ”

So George personally drove an off-road vehicle and took Zero, Anthony, and George back to Phoenix.

In the morgue at Phoenix Medical Center, eight rapidly frozen bodies were lined up side by side in front of a handful of people. At the same time, George pulled out a tactics board and called up a set of photos. The photographs were taken at the time the bodies of the convoy members were found, and the bodies were kept in their original position without the slightest changes.

Among the dead list obtained by Zero included three firefighters, including Senmu, the captain of the escort team, and Oni, the soldier Oni, the driver of the escort car, Skock, and a driver of the supply truck and two other soldiers. Now, all eight bodies are in front of you. Zero took the tactical board that George handed over, and looked at the photos taken from the off-road vehicle.

In the photo, in the driver's seat, the driver Skock is lying on his back on the steering wheel, and a clear bullet hole appears in his forehead. In the passenger seat, Soldier Oni is lying on his side towards the door. In Oni's body, however, there was a saber stuck in it.

George added: "When we found the body, judging from the situation at the scene, the murder weapon on the soldier's body should have belonged to the driver. The bullet hole in the driver's head was given by one of the soldiers in the back seat. In this case, it should be the people in the car who have infighting. Maybe this driver is an inner ghost, and he was killed after being discovered by his companions. ”

Zero listened, but shook his head: "This shouldn't be very likely." Judging by the methods of the robbers, they acted very cautiously. If the driver is really an insider, the probability of him being exposed is very low, and there is no risk of exposure. Judging by the photo, it looks more like he suddenly attacked the soldier named Oni before being shot by his companion in the back seat. And look at his eyes. ”

Zero zooms in on the photo, so Skock's face takes over the entire screen.

The others gathered around, and Zero said, "Didn't you notice that the dead man's eyes were too calm, or even dull?"

In the photo, Skock's eyes are as calm as zero said, almost without any emotion. This is impossible, especially after Skock kills Omni and is killed by his companions, and there is neither anger nor fear in his eyes. And nothing, even if the pupils will dilate after death, the emotions before death will be fixed in the eyes.

However, judging by Skock's eyes, he had no emotions before he died.

"It's a psychic suggestion. "One of the abilities of the Perception Domain can turn the target into a puppet in the hands of the capable through the hints of the mind. The golem has no feelings, and will unconditionally obey the orders of the capable person for the duration of the ability's effect. This driver, was controlled at the time!"
