Temporary camps were set up under the slender starship. The organizers tried their best, but they were unable to provide basic shelter within one day for the unprepared people who hurriedly evacuated from the starship. Most of them Man is destined to live in the wilderness, homeless.
The surrounding wilderness has been cleaned up for many days, but it still exudes a strong smell of blood. Thousands of earthlings and countless alien coalition forces died here. The fires alone burned the corpses. a long time.
The excavated land is still red, and there is no telling how much blood has been soaked in it. With the wild wind, the fishy smell is coming to your nostrils, it is pervasive and everywhere, as if you are sleeping in a wet blood swamp.
But these are not the worst. All difficulties can be overcome and endured by people who have experienced hardships time and time again.
The worst thing is that the starship is closed, and no news is sent out. No one knows what happened, and no one knows when the starship will be reopened.
The tall man also seemed to have disappeared, with no news at all. The small reconnaissance vehicles that used to fly automatically around the starship also disappeared collectively.
The entire starship is like a huge steel coffin, cold and silent. All the energy has gone, which makes people feel uneasy.
As time goes by, this uneasy feeling continues to ferment without definite news. Various speculations and rumors inevitably appear everywhere and spread rapidly.
Although Captain He of the Silver Legion took all measures to prevent the news from leaking, the news that the key had flown away was still mixed in many rumors, centered on the starship and radiating to all walks of life.
He had just received news that a group of "troops" had appeared in the northwest, suspected to be Ogawa Hao's troops that had set off a few days ago. Earlier, his old superior, Director Ruan, had brought him information through secret channels. The oral message of the message.
There are growing signs. People from all walks of life are rushing back quickly, and the momentum is not good. In order to cope with the possible sudden changes and violent storms that are coming, Captain He is very anxious.
The communications troops who sent the intelligence were dispatched again. Captain He and the surviving staff continued to discuss the map. At this time, there was a noise outside and someone strode in.
Captain He looked up and saw a burly figure, and motioned to the guards who followed him not to stop him. He also asked the other staff members to go out for the time being, leaving only him and the burly man in the room.
"Your people are getting more and more outrageous!" The people who came in complained and yelled first, and spit everywhere, not knowing whether they were disgusting Captain He.
"Did you leak it on purpose?"
Seeing the unabashed foreigner standing in front of him outside the container wall, Captain He ignored his nonsense and went straight to the point coldly.
He always regretted it. He should have thought of it a long time ago, but he always ignored it. He thought that this person would keep it secret like him. After all, it was this person who told him that the key flew away. Unexpectedly, the person who was most likely to leak the secret was this unconventional person.
The starship was closed, Chu Yunsheng lost news, and Xi Gao disappeared. Captain He's first reaction was to immediately block the news and suppress the matter for the time being, especially the key. He must not leak it, and then quickly find a way to communicate with Chu Yun. Sheng got in touch. As long as we got in touch, it would be easy to figure out how to deal with it later.
But he was so busy that he forgot about it. The source of the news was not in his hands.
Until he found out that Ba Yi had disappeared for one night. Although he didn't say anything when he came back, he finally came to his senses.
"Three reasons."
Ba Yi, who looked tired, did not deny it. He moved a simple stool from the side and sat down. As he spoke, he took off his boots, then flipped them against the ground, pouring out fine sand.
Thanks to Xigaoren's translator, he didn't have to use convoluted Chinese, and Captain He didn't have to speak broken English. There was no one else in the simple room, so Ba Yi didn't need to lower his voice. He said before Captain He made an attack:
"First of all, it is a fact that the key flew away. It cannot be concealed. Sooner or later it will be known to others. My men have been bribed by them."
Captain He snorted coldly: "But at least we can gain time!"
Ba Yi just nodded without refuting, put on the boot that had poured out the sand, took off the other one, continued to do the same action, and then said: "Second, where did the key fly to? I don't know, you I don’t know, we have to force him out, otherwise things will get out of control!”
This is business. Speaking of business, Captain He had to put away his anger at Ba Yi for not communicating with him beforehand. He frowned and said, "Didn't you send your people to chase him? Still can't find it? I I learned some information that among the people who left the starship in that direction that day, the most suspicious one was Bauer."
The movement in Ba Yi's hand paused, then he shook his head and said decisively: "It can't be him. Neither Mr. Chu nor the key itself is interested in him. I'm worried about another person."
Captain He asked curiously: "Who?"
Ba Yi glanced at Captain He in the container and said in a strange tone: "You don't know?"
Captain He was stunned for a moment, then said in a cold tone: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing, just forget it if I don't know." Ba Yi laughed, put on another shoe, and changed the topic: "If this person doesn't find out and let him get the key secretly, he will definitely go there directly without making any announcement. , our plan will completely fail, and in turn we will be controlled and threatened by him. This must not be tolerated, and if that person gets it, there may be even worse things..."
Captain He was feeling faintly angry, and something was being hidden from him. He could only stay in the container all day long, which made him gradually become sensitive. Although Ba Yi saved his life, that was not the case at that time. There is another purpose, and he has always positioned himself as the most important force in Chu Yunsheng's "kingdom". Distinguishing these foreigners, who are not even natural humans, are naturally his "political" natural enemies.
Now that Ba Yi is deliberately saying things he doesn't know, isn't it irritating him? Captain He didn't believe that he didn't know that he didn't know, but it was important now. Although he didn't know why Ba Yi deliberately provoked himself, he could still calm down, melted his anger, and said in a deep voice without changing his expression:
"Hasn't Xiaona already gone to the Key Land? No matter who got the key, Xiaona should have already arranged it when he gets there, and Mr. Chu has already prepared it."
Ba Yi nodded, but still did not refute. He continued: "So, thirdly, I judge that the key was released intentionally by Mr. Chu. He hesitated over this matter again and again and could not make up his mind. You also know this, and he also asked you for your opinion.
I don’t know what happened in the starship yesterday, but it must have been something unexpected. Mr. Chu can’t be contacted for the time being, but he and we both know in our hearts that the key matter can’t be delayed any longer. Instead of forcibly appointing a person and causing trouble again, Might as well let things take their course, let a recognized victory be fought between them, and let human leadership emerge as it should. "
"This is just your own conjecture!" Captain He thought for a moment and shook his head: "Although I am in the container, I also know that the person who gets the key will become the leader of all mankind and have powerful power. This person It is self-evident who is important to us. Mr. Chu cannot give up the right to choose. This is the greatest favor to future leaders. As long as it is chosen by Mr. Chu, if this person wants to secure this position, he must have our support. Support, this is what is most beneficial to us. There is absolutely no need to give up such a big advantage."
"Then just treat it as an accident." Ba Yi waved his hand and said without arguing: "The current situation is that we can no longer control the key, let alone where it went. If we don't find it quickly, we will Completely out of control.
In addition, no matter who it is, as long as they get the key publicly and become a public leader, they must have the support of Mr. Chu. This was something he couldn't jump over. "
Captain He was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "It may not be possible to find it this way. What if the person who got the key doesn't come back? He has countless reasons and doesn't need to come back and risk being discovered. He just needs to hide. That’s it.”
Ba Yi snorted and said: "He doesn't have to come back, but whoever doesn't come back will be the most suspicious. There is no doubt that he will expose himself nakedly. As long as he does not reach the key place, he will be everyone's enemy. If he is searched and intercepted on the road, he will definitely die, so he must come back to have a chance."
Captain He immediately asked: "This must be based on the fact that this person is very famous. Otherwise, who knows whether he will come back? But, how do you know that the person who gets the key will be a famous and powerful person at present, and not someone who will not come back?" Is he an unknown person?"
Ba Yi smiled slightly and said: "How can an unknown person avoid Xiaona's arrangement? Even if he spends his whole life, he will never be able to enter the key place unless he bows to us and is still under our control. ."
"What you just meant is that the key will find its target on its own?" Captain He looked into Ba Yi's eyes and said suddenly with a change of expression.
Ba Yi smiled faintly, but did not answer.
Captain He did not ask any more questions and instead said: "Even so, if you do this now, all the big and small forces will come back to force the palace soon and ask you and me for the key. They won't believe us and don't know the key. His whereabouts, when chaos breaks out, something big will happen!
And your people have been sent out, but Xiaona will not come back because he has an important mission. My people suffered heavy losses in the battle and are now in dilapidated condition, unable to deter them at all. "
Ba Yi fastened the straps on his boots, stood up, and stamped his feet on the ground. He seemed quite satisfied. He looked up at Captain He and smiled slightly: "So, I'm here to find you!"
Captain He snorted coldly and said: "You have no use for me, I am a fucking can now!... What do you mean?"
Ba Yi gave him a thumbs up and imitated the joking words he had heard from some of Commander He's subordinates in blunt Chinese: "Tuan, Zuo, Ying, Ming!"
Captain He remained silent. After a while, he raised his head again and said, "I can convince her, but you should know that those people have no skills and no fighting power. This can only be used to scare her for a while, and sooner or later it will be the same." If you want to reveal your identity, you have to find the key as soon as possible!"
Ba Yi nodded and said carelessly: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."
After saying that, he turned and left. Looking at his back, Captain He's expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed. After a moment, he called an officer with glasses.
"Old Chen, if you are not of my race, your heart must be different." Captain He said slowly.
The officer surnamed Chen had a wound on his neck. He pushed half of his broken eye with his hand and said, "I suspect that the transparent ball fell into Mr. Chu's hands again after he took it back from the tall man. It is integrated with the key, and he has obviously concealed a lot of things from us. Leader, we can't wait any longer, send a message to Ruan Xiaohong and Li Tiannan!"
…
Ba Yi, who walked out of the Silver Legion station, glanced behind him, sighed, and asked the degraded man next to him who came to pick him up: "No news yet?"
The man shook his head.
Ba Yi raised his head and looked into the distance: "Send a message to Chris and ask him to come back as quickly as possible. I must see him and his army before dark!"
In the other direction, Andirou led his first team, Thunder and Lightning, and swept to a valley ahead at the fastest speed, where there was a faint sound of killing.
"What's going on?" Andirou ordered the men and horses to take a break to prevent any unexpected events.
"Red, who was exploring the road, reported that it seems that Ball's men and horses have encountered an enemy of unknown origin and are fighting. Do you want rescue?" The dog-headed military advisor answered faithfully. There was an agreement before this expedition. , if friendly forces encounter danger, the nearest human army has the obligation to rescue.
Andirou came to the high ground in person, picked up the telescope, watched for a while, then put it down and said: "The person supported by Bauer is Chris. Let our magical streetlighter Chris come and save him! Let's go!"
The last ray of sunlight on the horizon is about to sink into the horizon, and countless running shadows are vaguely visible on the earth. The towering starships are like their center, and the smoke and dust are billowing and gathering.
Night fell quickly, and armies finally arrived one after another. Dark clouds gathered under the starships.
At this time, no one was interested in looking up at the starry sky. On the dark sky filled with stars, stars suddenly flickered in places where they shouldn't be, and the light was dazzling.
