Volume 1 The Nishihama Boy Chapter 45 The Visit of Yuwen Candle
"Major General Rollin, intelligence is coming from the desert front. A week ago, seven hundred kilometers from the Steel Fortress, a small and medium-sized federal caravan was found dead, killing about 50 people. It seems that he died of cannibalism, and because the cause of death is strange, he specially asked the general to take a look. ”
The guard handed over a brown paper bag, put his legs together and saluted with a standard military salute, and reported.
"Okay, got it, I'll see it later. ”
Admiral Rollin waved his hand and motioned for the guards to step aside.
On his desk was a document with a red stamp, which had just been rushed by the military department in the morning.
"There is a change outside the plug, and a large-scale beast herd has been found in the third oasis, and the intensity of the beast tide is estimated to be far greater than in previous years, please deal with it seriously. ”
Is the caravan killed and the beast tide related?
He was vaguely aware of the precursors of the coming storm, but he lacked some factual evidence to support the proof, although the cause of the beast tide was not known for the time being, but the abnormal gathering of beasts was a very bad sign, what caused it, and what affected them?
The brown paper bag was opened, and inside were several photos taken from different angles.
The bright red blood had dried up on the gravel, covered with a faint reddish-pink, and a group of caravan dressed people lay on the ground in scattered places, all kinds of postures of death.
Some people died of penetrating wounds in the abdomen, some people were entangled, their hands were desperately choking each other's necks, and some people lost half of their heads, only the thin skin was connected, and they all had frightened expressions on their faces, as if they had seen something terrible before they died.
There was no one present, but there was a lot of money, materials, and livestock, and it was obvious that they were not here for money.
What's the picture?
Major General Rollin's fingers tapped lightly on the table, his eyes wandering back and forth over the photograph.
His gaze was fixed on an old man.
Looking at the old man's dress and grooming, he was just a very ordinary desert guide, but his hands were a little strange.
The old man had several knives stuck in his body, his body was in a crawling posture, the nails of his right index finger were rough and uneven, in the shape of a sharp triangle, and his left hand was tightly clutched, as if he had grasped something, and he did not let go until he died.
In the corners of the photo, there are several inconspicuous bunkers, almost buried by the wind and sand.
Major General Rollin got up, dialed a phone number, and quickly verified more details in the photo.
On the other end of the phone, the old man's hand had been broken, and a few small words were blurred in his palm: "D...... Disaster...... Disciple ......"
The skin and flesh rolled around the small characters have dried up, which shows that the old man did not know how much pain he endured at the last moment of his life, and only then did he leave a little clue.
Sudden small earthquakes... Photos of bizarre creatures... An anomalously assembled herd... A caravan with a strange death......
Everything formed a closely connected thread, circling rapidly in his mind, Major General Luo Lin's fingers tapped faster and faster on the table, and suddenly slapped the table and exclaimed: "It's the Earth Dragon...... Disaster, and traitors!"
"It's going to be too peaceful in the desert soon......"
Major General Rollin opened the window and looked out at the scorched yellow skyline, where a storm was brewing in the desert, and it was time to prepare for a rainy day.
"Guards, inform all officers of the rank of second lieutenant and above that they should assemble in the conference room at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and that the matter is of great importance and that they must not be absent for any reason. ”
Just as I was upset, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
As the highest-ranking general stationed in the Steel Fortress, Luo Lin needs to be conveyed by the guards when he meets him, which is not a military rule, but everyone knows that Major General Luo Lin is very taboo to be disturbed when he thinks about problems, and he knocks on the door uninvited, which seems to be especially ignorant of current affairs, if he is angered, then this person's military career will come to an end.
The guards slowed down a few beats, and then they reacted with a shocked face, who dared to knock directly on the door of Major General Luo Lin in the Steel Fortress?
He glanced at Rollin, and when he got permission, he stepped forward to open the door tremblingly.
"General Rollin, long time no see. ”
From behind the door came a young and indifferent voice, only to see a tall and thin young man pushing the door in, his eyebrows were straight and sharp like a knife, his thin lips and high nose, his eyes were like eagles, and his military uniform was as straight as a suit, looking extremely aggressive.
This is a young man who is inexplicably reminded of the words "aggression like fire" just by looking at it.
"It turned out to be a small candle, I haven't seen it in seven or eight years, I didn't expect you to change so much. ”
Major General Luo Lin was a little puzzled, what kind of wind blew him here?
He is a young man who has made a name for himself in the military in recent years, breaking all the records for recruit selection during his training, and on the premise of not using true qi.
In the military department, this is not a secret.
Because his other identity is one of the four major families of the Federation, the eldest son of the Yuwen family, Yuwen Candle.
The Yuwen family is a prestigious military family in the Federation, and it can be said that they are the only ones known to ordinary people among the four major families, they have been stationed in the territory for generations, are respected, and have a transcendent status in the Federation.
Yuwen Candle is an unborn genius in the younger generation, six years old star point, fifteen years old on the battlefield, twenty years old to the highest realm, because of outstanding military achievements, outstanding strength, was awarded the rank of major by the Federal Military Department exceptionally, in one fell swoop became the youngest major in history, whether it is talent or acquired efforts, the solid foundation is unmatched among peers.
Major General Luo Lin will inevitably have to deal with people from the Yuwen family in his long military career, and he is also a disciple of the marshal, so he has naturally seen this genius junior.
Even if he doesn't rely on his identity, he is also a hot celebrity in the military department, and a sudden visit to a remote steel fortress must have some important mission on his body.
After all, young people don't have much time to come to the old man to catch up.
"This time the beast tide has a wide range of gatherings, and the military department specially asked me to come to the aid to prevent accidents. ”
Facing Major General Luo Lin, Yu Wenzhu still had an indifferent tone and expression, but Luo Lin was not angry, he knew that this kid was this character when he was young.
"Okay! With you joining us, we will definitely be like a tiger with wings, I will ask the logistics department to arrange a place for you to live, and you can also participate in an important meeting about the beast tide at seven o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
Major General Luo Lin nodded with a smile and said:
"I haven't seen you for a long time, please say hello to General Yu Wenshuo on my behalf. ”
"I'll convey it to my father. ”
Yuwen Candle nodded and walked out, suddenly as if he remembered something, flashed a helpless expression, and turned back to Luo Lin and said:
"General Rollin...... Please prepare an extra room for me. ”
