What Wu Qiao said is true. There are only so many mecha drivers with superior skills. For every one killed or injured, one is missing. The number of soldiers deployed by the opponent will increase, and the alliance will inevitably become more and more stretched.

In the case that the League could not produce more people to form a team of twenty people, Wu Qiao was forced to change his strategy.

He reduced the number of the twenty-man team to twelve, and at the same time added the role of "sniper". In other words, let the sniper shoot at the enemy from a long distance, in this way to fill the loopholes of the twelve-man team, and make up for the disadvantages caused by the reduction in the number of people. Each twelve-man team will be equipped with three snipers. Their task is to suppress firepower and cover their comrades. It does not include directly killing the enemy, because an attack from such a distance is impossible to truly succeed, and there is plenty of time to escape from transforming people. Wu Qiao and Tan Yan re-examined the formation and the way of cooperation between everyone, and then they learned experience through repeated trials to improve this new method step by step.

After the strategy was fully changed to "12+3", the scale of war that had been gradually tilted back to a neutral country gradually became horizontal again.

Wu Qiao knew very well that this was only a temporary solution, and it was a slow-down strategy. It was basically fighting the opponent's offensive and forcibly pulling the situation back.

The core problem remains unresolved.

Therefore, Wu Qiao was still scared - afraid of the third batch of reformed soldiers from a neutral country who did not know when they would appear in his own country's city.

Sadly, that is simply destined to happen.

So... when the third batch of reformers arrives, how should the alliance deal with it?

The number of squads cannot be reduced indefinitely... No, rather, it can no longer be reduced. Wu Qiao could know without even trying. If the siege squad didn't even have ten people, it would be useless if there were more snipers in the distance, and the reformers of neutral countries would surely be able to cope with ease.

So, is it true that no matter how hard you struggle, you will be defeated in the end? A hundred years later, if you look at it again, you will find that all their efforts today are in vain?

Wu Qiao didn't want to just wait for the final death sentence, it was not his character at all, he would fight to the death no matter what.

But what should we do?

"It's really annoying..." Ya Jiu said angrily, "Why do all BOSS transform humans?!"

Wu Qiao said, "...I don't know."

There were two times, Wu Qiao was particularly unwilling. Sometimes he wants to scream a few times to vent his boredom in his chest, and sometimes he wants to get drunk and forget all his troubles. In short, he is going crazy and abandoning his role temporarily.

But he can't.

Therefore, at the most extreme time, he just hugged Tan Yan's waist, rubbed his head against Tan Yan's abdomen, and said, "Tan Yan, I'm not happy."

Tan Yan touched Wu Qiao's very soft hair, and said softly, "Yeah."

"You coax me."

Tan Yan smiled: "How to coax?"

"……I do not know either."

"Well, honey, don't be angry."

"...Continue." Wu Qiao felt a little comfortable.

Tan Yan thought about it again: "Is it OK if I cook for you? Or take you to eat good food."

"...Hurry up again."

"It's still important to your body, so you can't be angry."

"Anything else?" Wu Qiao asked again.

"...I can't think of it." Tan Yan really can't think of it.

"Really not a smart person." Wu Qiao sighed, "However, I think it seems to be better." Tan Yan was so coaxed, "..."

After a few seconds, Wu Qiao said again, "Tan Yan, I really feel a little uneasy."

"how?"

"Will the two of us have to die for our country, and we didn't get married until the end?"

Tan Yan raised Wu Qiao's arm and motioned him to sit up. Then, Tan Yan stared into Wu Qiao's eyes, and asked him in a very soft voice, "What silly thing to say?"

"It's not stupid." Wu Qiao shook his head, "I'm thinking, if I die... I must truly become a couple before I die." Wu Qiao has already decided privately, in case everything really cannot be saved, he Will register for marriage the day before the end of the day. In short... in his life... he must become a family with Tan Yan, no matter if there is only one day, even one minute or one second.

"Don't say anything about dying." Tan Yan thought for a while, and then said, "This is not your character."

"...It's really not my character." But, "Dai Xian" is approaching day by day. It is impossible to say that you are confident. It is like watching a dark cloud on your head and insisting that it will never rain. Just as ridiculous.

Tan Yan smiled and was as handsome as ever: "Wu Qiao, when you were twenty, didn't you always say that you were a miracle man? You did it. Then you can verify this again."

"...I've been trying these days, but I haven't made any progress at all." Wu Qiao knew that he had yelled that many years ago, even though he couldn't imagine what he was like now.

"Wu Qiao," Tan Yan said again, "I believe you will be able to do it."

"..."

"I don't know what others think, but I believe you will be able to do it."

"Tan Yan...?" Tan Yan gave him such affirmation, even higher than Wu Qiao's own. Wu Qiao didn't know why Tan Yan could be so sure, he must be so inexplicable.

Tan Yan seemed to see what Wu Qiao was thinking. He said: "I... Since I fell in love with you, I have always believed in you. Now, as always, I think you can definitely solve the difficulties in front of you."

"..."

"Wu Qiao, do you believe me?"

"Of course."

"Then you should believe in yourself."

"..." Wu Qiao felt that this seemed to be going around in a circle. Tan Yan believes in him, he believes in Tan Yan, so he should also believe in himself. Even if you didn't believe it in the first place, you should become believe it strangely...what is the truth?

Tan Yan kissed the bridge of his nose.

"Okay," Wu Qiao put his arms around Tan Yan's neck, nodded on his shoulder, and said as if to brainwash himself, "I can do it. Um. I can do it."

"Yes." Tan Yan rubbed Wu Qiao's ears with his ears.

Wu Qiao’s ears are hot, and I think it’s really beautiful.

He suddenly felt: These few days...why did he think of dying together? Such a good thing, such a good person, he does not want to give up. He is still young, and he still wants to have a lot of time to do all kinds of things with Tan Yan. He hasn't tasted Tan Yan's craftsmanship, he hasn't eaten delicious food from all over the world with Tan Yan, he hasn't walked the streets and alleys in the city hand in hand with Tan Yan, he hasn't found the most beautiful scenery with Tan Yan, he hasn't lived yet I have never planted all kinds of beautiful flowers and plants that Tan Yan likes in the seafood starry water villas that Tan Yan likes... How could he die?

Moreover, not only the two of them, but also many people in the alliance, are also looking forward to a happy life.

Wu Qiao felt that those frustrated before should really not be right.

He should get back together.

I don't know if it has anything to do with this conversation. That night, Wu Qiao suddenly realized a problem while sleeping.

He thought: The establishment of the institute definitely requires conditions.

Wu Qiao called up the screen and listed them one by one.

First of all, this condition is that the institute must have the raw materials to "make" human beings-sperm and eggs. There is always no possibility that all of the transformed people were reproduced asexually by Jing Yan. No matter how you reform, you also need to have the foundation to become a "person". Therefore, Wu Qiao felt that the location of the institute must not be far from the large sperm and egg banks in neutral countries. Sperm is better. Eggs are not easy to get. Wu Qiao is 99% sure that the raw materials for human transformation are obtained from sperm and egg banks in neutral countries. For neutral countries that are dedicated to the pursuit of "the most perfect soldier", they are unlikely to build the institute very far away to transport sperm and eggs over long distances, which will increase unnecessary costs and increase unnecessary costs. Risk, because sperm and eggs are very sensitive to temperature, long-term transportation may make them "not so perfect."

The second condition is to be able to discharge sewage easily. This kind of experiment will definitely use a lot of biological reagents, etc., and requires a very powerful sewage system. Moreover, the research institute must have experienced many failures, and even needed to abandon corpses frequently in the early stages. This kind of thing can't be done with just a few sewer pipes and a few trash cans. That would be too ostentatious, and it would soon arouse suspicion.

The third condition is that the temperature needs to be appropriate. Wu Qiao guessed that sperm, eggs, fertilized eggs, embryos, etc. are all fragile. Neutral countries should not choose places with extreme cold or extreme heat. Relying solely on machines to maintain the temperature will cause accidents after all, and neutral countries will not accept such things as "the death of the reformer due to machine failure". Therefore, neutral countries must at least ensure that the conditions are not terrible.

The fourth condition is that it must be sparsely populated. To carry out this kind of experiment, the neutral country must be extremely afraid of outsiders discovering it, and will set up the research institute very secretly. According to Jing Yan, neutral countries started this research a long time ago. At that time, their national power was weak and there was no reason to choose a place that could be easily discovered by the two big countries. That place should not only be difficult to be discovered by the two big countries, but also not easily discovered by the people of your own country, otherwise all your hard work will be easily burned.

The fifth... Wu Qiao quickly typed: Although the place is remote, it shouldn't be too difficult to get there from the capital of a neutral country. This is also certain. This is a research institute that neutral countries have high hopes for. People who know the secret should check it out frequently. If the line is too awkward, it will not be selected as the construction site.

sixth……

Wu Qiao lists one by one, and it seems that the scope is being reduced a little bit. Every time he thinks of a certain condition, he is happy to applaud himself-the 20-year-old seems to have come back a little bit.

Four hours later, there were ten almost certain "conditions" on Wuqiao's list, and there were twenty other conditions that might be met.

He didn't look at the time, so he dialed Tan Yan's newsletter.

Tan Yan answered immediately, his voice didn't sound a bit sleepy: "What?"

Wu Qiao was short of breath and his chest was undulating: "I thought of some of the characteristics of the institute."

"Oh?"

"The most important thing is that it must be next to the sperm and egg bank."

"..." Tan Yan thought for a while, and then he said, "It makes sense." He was surprised that he had missed the consideration before and ignored such an obvious fact.

"Also," Wu Qiao said again, "that place should be off the beaten track. Moreover, the surveillance satellites of the League and the Republic cannot be seen."

"...Yes," Tan Yan's voice came through the communication device, "Neutral countries don't want to be discovered by us."

"Of course we are very clear about the satellite coverage area of ​​the Alliance. I think...At such a time, the Republic needs to provide the location of their satellite."

"Will they agree?"

"If you don't agree with them, it's over!" The Republic is terribly miserable now, but it can be useful.

"..."

Wu Qiao also said, "In addition, it needs to be able to discard waste materials and reduce possible pollution, and the temperature must not be too cold or too hot."

"……Ok."

Wu Qiao talked about all the speculations one by one.

After a long discussion between the two of them, Wu Qiao's list of "required" conditions was removed and two were added, and five "possible" conditions were added. At present, there are 11 "required" conditions and 25 "possible" conditions.

Early the next morning, Wu Qiao called the relevant personnel of the scope screening to the conference room. Everyone looked sad when they came to the meeting room, and it seemed that the bad news in this period of time had made them feel desperate. It wasn't until Wu Qiao listed the "required" and "possible" conditions on the screen that their eyes gradually brightened. They began to talk about it, and took out a map to actually set out to find a place where the institute might exist. A group of people are very motivated and move very fast, and the sudden hope makes them forget about it.

Wu Qiao personally contacted the President of the Republic’s Crybaby. The Crybaby President did not cry this time, but rather cooperatively sent the satellite image to Wu Qiao for viewing. At the end, I added another sentence: "This is what it used to be, but it's not like this anymore."

"...Hmm." Wu Qiao replied casually and perfunctorily. Sure enough, as long as there is no interest involved, that person will not cry. Now the situation is burning with eyebrows, and he hasn't sniffed again.

"So," added the crying crying president, "if you want the satellite map of the Republic when they chose the site, this is it. But if you think the Republic still uses this map, it's a big mistake. wrong."

"...I didn't want to hit you." Wu Qiao knew that he kept emphasizing that this map was outdated in order to prevent the Alliance from using it to attack the Republic.

The alliance "discussion group" studied for two full days, and finally reduced the number of possible research places to five based on the "required" conditions. There are many sperm and egg banks in this era, and there are no less than 50 or 60 of the very large ones in neutral countries. Not only ordinary families and single men and women will use the sperm and egg bank, but also **** couples will go there for gene fusion.

"Is there no way to narrow it down anymore?" Wu Qiao asked with a frown, holding a pen in his mouth.

"Five are already small...!" Someone said in awe.

"No." Wu Qiao took the pen out of his mouth, "too much."

"..."

"We can't try one by one." Wu Qiao said, "It must be successful once, and if it fails, it is impossible to repeat the trick a second time." As long as the neutral countries strengthen their guard, they will definitely not be able to destroy the institute.

"That..." Someone looked at the "possible" conditions embarrassingly, and said hesitantly, "Choose the one with the most possible conditions?"

"Isn't this still a trial? As I just said, the location must be determined, and the range must be reduced from five to one."

"This..." All the people in the conference room looked at each other, feeling that Wu Qiao was really in trouble, "This... how is this sure?"

In fact, Wu Qiao is also a little worried.

He stared at five locations, and after a long time, an idea popped out of his mind, "Hey, I said... Basically, these addresses are very far apart."

"Yes." Tan Yan agreed. Although the conditions are almost the same, the distance is indeed not close.

"I'm thinking," Wu Qiao said, "The source of sperm and the sperm and eggs in the egg bank should be almost all nearby people. It is unlikely that many people will go to such a far place to donate or sell. Human genes in different regions There will be differences, much worse, even the appearance is different, so as long as we analyze the genes of the captured modified people, we can roughly know which star field they come from. Neutral countries modified their genes, but they will always stay. The next primitive genes cannot be changed beyond recognition, because there is no need at all. We start with the primitive genes and sum up their general characteristics, and then we can see where they are from."

Tan Yan nodded: "This is a good idea." At present, the people around the two candidates are indeed very different.

...

——So, starting from the end of this meeting, the Alliance began to capture the reformed soldiers of neutral countries as much as possible, because the more data, the more accurate the results will be.

These two groups of soldiers are very different from "Nicole" and others. They are unaware of fear and are very violent. "Nicoles" are human clones, but the brain area that controls emotions is destroyed, so they will choose to be captured after rational analysis after they have lost their hope of winning. However, the genes of the new reformed soldiers have been rewritten extensively, completely distorted into what is needed for war, and will never cooperate with the enemy. The alliance once tried to find out their memories by reading brain waves, and even this failed without exception, because they refused to even think about the questions raised by the alliance's people.

However, the neutral country obviously did not think of Wu Qiao.

The Mecha pilots of the Alliance rushed at the moment they knocked down the transformed people, held them down and took their blood samples.

Yes, blood alone can provide a lot of information.

The analysts first ruled out abnormal and obviously modified gene sequences, and then selected genes in the genetic sense of natural persons for classification and comparison.

It turns out that more than 75% of the transformed people have certain very typical genes and should belong to the "sunflower" race of neutral countries. The sunflower race is one of the most populous races in neutral countries, and its distribution area accounts for almost one-half of the territory of neutral countries.

"Sunflower race?" Wu Qiao looked at the map-out of the five candidate locations, two of them were in the sunflower race's living area!

"This..." At the second meeting, everyone was in trouble again, "Two of them are in the living quarters of the sunflower race... How do you determine where the real research institute is?"

"..." Wu Qiao didn't know this time either. It is indeed a good thing to reduce the scope from five to two, but it is still not enough.

After the meeting went on in a dull atmosphere for a while, Tan Yan looked at two possible places and suddenly interjected, "Or... let that ‘Nicole’... take a look?"

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Tan Yan with doubts. This is an unfamiliar name, and it has been a long time since anyone has mentioned it.

"I said, "Nicole" from Xianglong's Wings."

Wu Qiao looked at Tan Yan quietly. The battle was directed by himself. At that time, the Dragon Wings released eight "Nicoles", all of which were clones of the legendary Nicole of the military at that time. Major General Darrell, seeing his wife's clones die prematurely, took his place, and finally commanded the battle to capture six of them.

Tan Yan and Wu Qiao looked at each other, "At that time, the Wings of Xianglong were supported by the neutral country. Therefore,'Nicole' must be sent by the neutral country. Eighty out of it is always there."

"Yeah." Wu Qiao nodded in agreement.

"Things have passed for several years. After'Nicole' was captured, the neutral country should have changed the institute. However, I think the'conditions' they care about will not change. We can let them take a look. Second Which of the fifteen “possible conditions” were available to the research institute at that time. Those possessed are probably what the research institute builders are more concerned about and will try their best to consider when choosing a new location. We think they are possible conditions, they But they think it is necessary. "Nicole" don't know anything else, they should always know what the institute looks like."

Wu Qiao nodded again.

Tan Yan is right. I chose that one for the first time and didn't choose another. There must be a reason. The reason is that the neutral people think that some of the "possible" conditions have higher priority than others. This is like a buyer buying a real estate. If you care about something when you buy a house for the first time, you will also care about something when you buy a house for the second time.

"But..." someone asked, "Will'Nicole' cooperate?"

"There is a possibility." Tan Yan replied.

"Oh?" Everyone was surprised.

"...Yes." Wu Qiao accepted Tan Yan's words at this time. "One of them...seems to be...very interested in real Nicole..." He knows this matter better than Tan Yan, because of this. He originally told Tan Yan to hear the matter. "
