"HER is actually doing something so outrageous? Captain Shepard, please intervene and expose this matter!"
After hearing Sergeant Anton's report that the North American HER army would arrest civilians to work as slave labor in the mines, Sima Qian said indignantly.
Captain Shepard stroked his beard: "Well, you have to be right, we can't tolerate this happening!"
Anton was very happy to hear that Captain Shepard was willing to take action, but he was worried: "I just communicated with the guerrillas. Although they know the location of the mine, there are HER secret sentries and ambushes nearby. If we act rashly, , I’m afraid it will harm the civilians who were kidnapped. This is not the first time HER has taken advantage of civilians."
After listening to this, everyone remained silent and had no solution for the moment.
The photographer Herodotus on the side suddenly said: "Maybe we can use a Trojan horse?"
"What do you mean, let HER capture a humanoid weapon and then break it from the inside? No, no, what if they directly destroy the humanoid weapon?"
"They don't necessarily have to capture the machine. Is there any other way to break through from the inside? As long as the mine is in chaos, the nearby secret sentries will definitely fall into chaos. At that time, we can cooperate with the inside and outside to capture it in one fell swoop!"
"That might work, but where are we going to find the Trojan horse..."
Everyone fell into silence again, and Anton suddenly thought: "Hey, I thought about where the Trojan horse is..."
…
Second, Lin Ao and Edward appeared in a town controlled by HER wearing shabby clothes borrowed from the guerrillas and dressed like North American refugees. The streets of the town were deserted. The residents closed their doors and stared at the two strangers through their windows with wary eyes.
When Edward saw the door of the shop, he knocked on it and begged: "Grandpa, aunt, brother and sister-in-law, we are refugees here in Liulan. Why are we given any work? We don't want money, we just need to share food!"
Lin Ao reminded from the side: "You are playing a hungry refugee now, so don't be too confident."
Edward glared at him unhappily: "Before setting off, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat today, so I ate until I was full. How can I act hungry? You can do it!"
Lin Ao cleared his throat and repeated what he had just said in a weak manner, but the store owner still locked the door and ignored them.
Edward complained: "This is a stupid idea..."
"Since you don't like it, why did you agree?"
"Ha! Didn't you see that it was Sister Sima Qian who asked me to do this? I am willing to die for her! But you, the bastard, actually agreed right away. Who are you doing it for?"
Lin Ao scratched his head: "For no one's sake, I was also a refugee before. When I heard about this, I felt sorry for the locals."
"You are also big-hearted..."
While they were chatting, the window next to the shop was opened a crack, and an old lady waved them over and handed them a piece of bread that was about to go moldy: "Where did you two come from?"
Edward was afraid that the old lady from the ruins of New York wouldn't believe him, so he randomly named the place in New Jersey.
The old lady was uneasy: "Go quickly! Get out of here! The nearby HER soldiers will arrest people to work in the mines as laborers. All the strong laborers in the town have been arrested, and no one has come back alive!"
Edward and Lin Ao looked at each other. They came here just to be caught. They thanked the old lady and left.
Edward: "I was full before I went out. You can eat the bread."
If Lin Ao had eaten it before, but after eating the driver's meal on the Osiris for two months, he now couldn't stomach the bread that was about to go moldy.
The two walked through the streets and continued to knock on the door using the excuse of working, but no one answered them. It seems that HER's reign of terror here has made the residents panic all day long.
About half an hour later, Edward ate too much before setting off, and now he was thirsty. When he saw a street water fountain, he ran over to drink from it, but the water had an earthy smell.
"Bah! It tastes terrible!"
At this time, a HER armored vehicle slowly stopped in front of the two people. An East Asian man wearing a black lieutenant uniform asked them: "Do you want to drink clean water?"
From the heart, this HER soldier seemed to be a ruthless person. Edward and Lin Ao did not dare to reply for a while.
The soldier sitting behind the soldier said: "Captain Endo, I have never seen these two people before, they are very careful!"
Captain Endo took the people out of the car, and the soldiers raised their guns and asked them about their identities. Because they have already "colluded" with the guerrillas, foreigners like Lin Ao are in trouble.
"Why are you here?" Captain Endo asked.
"We... want to find a job where we can eat."
Endo looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you willing to become soldiers of the glorious Holy Roman Empire of the Universe?"
Lin Ao and Edward were confused. They wanted to work as laborers and sneak into HER's mines. Isn't it to break into the HER army? What if we transfer them to other places and fail to save them?
Seeing the two men's heads shaking like rattles, Endo's expression turned gloomy and he said, "If you want to eat and drink enough, get in the car."
This is an obviously unkind invitation that no normal person would agree to. But the HER soldiers didn't care whether you agreed or not. They just forced the two of them into the car. Once they were in the car, they tied them up and put hoods on their heads.
"We need to expand production this month and send them to the mines!"
This means that Edward and Lin Ao's plan was successful, but they are not happy at all.
Their heads were covered and they couldn't see what was going on on the road. All I knew was that the road was very winding, and the armored vehicle swayed left and right, and stopped after about a while.
The HER soldier roughly pushed the two men out of the car and took off their hoods. After regaining their sight, the two looked around and found that they had arrived at HER's mine. HER used a wall to surround this mine that was unknown to whom before. The wall and every intersection in the mine were guarded by HER soldiers with guns. North American civilians, disheveled and sweating, were pushed under their scoldings. A cart for transporting ore.
"What are you looking at? Let's go!"
The two men were held at gunpoint and walked towards a simple house. Once inside, the HER soldiers put collar-like things on their necks before loosening them.
The HER soldier pulled over a sturdy old man and said fiercely: "You are now workers in this mine, and this old man is your team leader. The collar around your neck will show your position. Once the signal is lost or it shows that you are in Where you shouldn't be, you and everyone in your group will be executed!"
The HER soldier finally sighed: "North American bastard..."
Seeing the soldiers leaving, Lin Ao asked: "Do the people in HER hate North Americans?"
Edward: "The colonial satellite New Rome, HER's base camp, used to belong to the North American Alliance. They think we exploited them."
The old man who became their team leader asked warily: "Aren't you two locals?"
"No, I was caught here after escaping."
The old man spoke for a while: "You foreigners should keep a low profile here. Foreigners have been arrested before. It didn't take long for HER to think that they were spies and they were all executed."
When Edward and Lin Ao heard what the old man said, their faces turned pale with fright.
