This explosion shocked everyone present.
Wang Qing's expression immediately became solemn.
There is still one?
How much money did the rebels spend on this raid? Why do they dare to spend so much money? Has Commander Rotterit's itinerary been leaked?
Without any time to think, Wang Qing made a decisive decision and immediately shouted: "Protect Commander! Move immediately!"
The first to react were six Eta warriors. They kept Lotrit tightly in the middle. On the outer layer are a dozen human warriors, who surround all the Eta people.
Everyone took out their weapons.
Without this accident, the human guards would not have had the chance to get so close to the Eta people, and they would never have been allowed to show their weapons in front of Commander Rotrit.
That would be killed immediately.
The group of people hurried towards the nearby safe house.
But at this moment, a guard suddenly, with lightning speed, directly aimed his gun at Rotterit's position and pulled the trigger.
The sound of the firearm was extremely small, barely attracting any attention in the chaotic situation.
But Wang Qing happened to notice it.
His eyes were full of shock.
Because at this moment, he had already recognized the format of this firearm.
That is not the standard firearm of the Guard, that is, it is a firearm that has appeared in large numbers on the black market recently and was supplied by that mysterious arms dealer!
Damn it! Rebels!
But... I have to say that the security quality of the six Eta soldiers is indeed quite high.
They almost completely blocked Rotterit, leaving almost no shooting angle.
According to the ballistics, the bullet should hit them and not Rotterit.
but……
After the bullet was activated, the next moment, a ball of hot gas was violently sprayed out in mid-air. Under the reverse thrust, the trajectory of the bullet - or micro-missile - changes directly.
No shooting angle? But I know how to turn corners!
The next moment, there were three intensive bangs and bangs. Under the protection of six Eta warriors, Rotrit's body fell straight down.
Wang Qing's eyes turned red instantly.
"I kill you!"
He roared and lunged at the guard.
He had some impression of this guard and knew he was an elite. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to be transferred to a place so close to Rothrit.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a spy of the rebels and a traitor!
The guard glanced at Wang Qing contemptuously, and before anyone could react, he put the gun to his chin and pulled the trigger.
The next moment, his head was blown to pieces, and he was too dead to die.
Wang Qing gasped for breath, looked at Rotrit who fell on the ground, and saw that Rotrit's space helmet had been blown to pieces.
A soldier next to him took off his aerospace helmet without hesitation and put it on Rotrit's head. He slumped on the ground. Although it was possible for humans to survive, it was almost impossible for them. The poisonous air corroded his body.
But... there was a big hole in Rotrit's head.
Even if you put on an aerospace helmet, it is useless.
Wang Qing lost his sight and slowly collapsed to the ground.
A person who ranked among the top five most powerful people in the entire solar system was assassinated on Mercury like this? Assassinated under his own nose?
The Mercury State chief executive and a group of senior officials looked at Rothritt who fell on the ground and the guard who had committed suicide. Their faces were all drained of blood.
At this time, the gunfire outside was still fierce. Moreover, there were still faint explosions coming from inside the ground base.
The next day, Earth, Governor's Mansion.
In the first conference room, more than a dozen high-ranking officials from the Eta people on Earth hurried over, each with solemn expressions. Senior officials who were not able to make it on earth also participated in the meeting through video projection.
"Rotterit was assassinated during his inspection of Mercury and unfortunately died. Furthermore, the Mercury 1 space elevator was severely damaged and temporarily lost all functions. It is expected to take a year to repair."
Malentin announced the news directly.
"What?! It's actually true!"
Senior officials had heard the news before, but they all couldn't believe it. At this moment, it was finally confirmed by Marundin himself, and he was immediately shocked.
The fact that the Mercury 1 space elevator was severely damaged is not a big deal. This is not the only one on Mercury.
But Rotterit actually died, this...
"A mere rebel assassinated the commander of Eta Fleet? This, this..."
A great sense of absurdity enveloped the minds of Eta's senior officials.
"Revenge! You must take revenge! Those despicable humans and despicable rebels who dare to assassinate us Eta people must pay the price!"
"Yes, investigate strictly! Anyone responsible or anyone with suspicion will be killed!"
At this moment, no matter whether they were close to Rotterit or not, all ETA officials shared the same hatred.
Malentin said solemnly: "Retaliation must be retaliated. Otherwise, these despicable humans would think they were afraid of them. But..."
He changed the topic: "Router is dead, but the Pluto development strategy must still be implemented. The subsequent execution plan must be adjusted.
Wolfe, tell us about the assassination. "
"yes."
Wolfe stood up and said in a deep voice: "It has been found out that the rebels first used more than 3,000 people as bait to attack head-on.
He also used more than 2,000 people as bait to attract attention from the side.
Then, more than a dozen spies lurking at the ground end of the space elevator deliberately caused an explosion, forcing Commander Rotterit to make an emergency transfer. During the emergency transfer, he relaxed a little bit of his vigilance towards the people around him.
In the end, a spy lurking among the guards completed the final blow at close range.
After a rigorous investigation of those exposed spies, the total number of spies implicated was as high as 158, and all of them died.
The rebel spies buried in the space elevator and guard hall were all captured. "
Someone asked: "Didn't the spy escape?"
Wolff whispered: "It is speculated that none of these spies escaped early because they were worried that they would escape early, attract the attention of the security forces, and affect the operation. After Rothrit was assassinated, these people knew that they would never escape. Without mercy, he committed suicide directly."
As soon as the operation began, these people were already destined to die. But in order to keep it secret, they still stayed at their posts until the last moment, and then simply committed suicide, just to avoid attracting attention...
Wolff continued: "The total number of rebels who attacked frontally and feigned attacks from the side was nearly 6,000. In order to create a tense atmosphere, they attacked and refused to retreat. In about an hour of fighting, 2,800 people were directly killed and 536 captured. . Among them, another 396 people committed suicide. Those who were not able to commit suicide in the future had already confessed under the administration of veritaserum, but they failed to confess any valuable information.
The rebels had obviously prepared intelligence isolation in advance and were prepared for any rebel to be captured. At the same time, the rebels who participated in the war were also prepared to die in this battle at any time. "
In the conference hall, although the Eta people were still full of anger, they fell silent.
An idea appeared uncontrollably in the minds of the ETA senior officials attending the meeting.
It seems now that we in the past still underestimated human beings’ will to resist...
