Chapter 477 The one who is admitted is the captive

  Facts have proved that technological content and combat effectiveness are two-dimensional concepts.

   On the way to lead Group A to approach the crash site, Zheng Hao quickly came into contact with the group of soldiers of the enterprise, and a fierce exchange of fire broke out with them immediately.

   At this moment, Zheng Hao felt a little bit of difficulty.

  Those people are strong!

   And it is the kind that is visible to the naked eye!

The smooth progress of Group B caused him to misjudge the situation, and even misjudgment that should not have occurred—they could easily eliminate these people by relying on their equipment advantages, and then intercepted the abnormal mother without anyone noticing. Walk.

  However, the advantage of Group B is due to the upper hand in numbers, six fight three and one sniper supports outside the battlefield.

  The situation is completely different when it comes to him.

  The soldiers on the opposite side dispersed in groups of three and used alternating firepower to prop up the line of defense, and then he found a small team circled to his flank.

  These people's use of tactics is almost smooth to the point of flowing water, without even the slightest pause or hesitation.

  The tacit cooperation makes the scalp tingle!

  The evenly matched battle situation quickly took a turn for the worse with the death of a team member. The gunshots from all directions made him feel that he was not fighting a straggler with ten people, but a well-trained army.

   These people are definitely not employees of the enterprise!

   They are more like professional soldiers!

   Just as they are professional in exploring the ruins here, they are also professional in fighting wars!

   "Captain! The firepower of this group is too fierce! I'm afraid we can't last long on our own—"

  A team member who was shot in the leg shouted in horror, and fired at the distant **** with the rifle in his hand, trying to suppress the advancing soldiers.

  However, the gunfire he fired didn't even last for three seconds, and a high-explosive grenade fired by an RPG dragged a slender tail flame and hit the soil **** in front of him.

  The air wave and fragments of the explosion hit his chest together, flying his whole body from behind the slope, and fell to the ground unconsciously like a rag.

   "Ryohei! Grass!"

   Seeing another teammate die in battle, Zheng Hao's eyes turned red for a moment, and he hammered his fist heavily into the soil, but there was nothing he could do.

  The voice of the deputy leader of Group B came from the communication channel.

   "Captain, the mother body has mutated! Its body split into dozens of tentacles and entangled the team leader! Zhao Xiao was also controlled by them... We need support!"

  Seven hit three, and one has been dealt with, but it was counter-killed!

  Although he still has a group C on standby on the tracked vehicle, he knows that even using the last reserve team will not help.

  Perhaps after discovering that the "swarm" cannot take a single hit, he should decisively order a retreat...

   These people are obviously not something they can deal with!

   Zheng Hao gritted his teeth, and finally squeezed out that sentence from his teeth.

   "Retreat!"

  …

  After paying the price of four casualties, the academy team that raided the crash site seemed to finally realize that they had kicked an iron plate.

   "They retreated."

  The sound of a strong wind came from the communication channel.

  He OBs in the sky through the perspective of the drone, and he has a clear view of the opponent's movements.

  Aiming at the thick gray smoke in front of him, the murderous dagger leaning against the bunker looked at Lao Bai beside him, eager to try.

   "Boss, do you want to catch up?"

  He wanted to catch up.

   This group of guys is weaker than expected, it would be a pity not to explode their gold coins.

  Old Bai thought for a while and said.

   "No need, the task is important."

  The enemy vehicle is five kilometers away.

   Judging by the wind, it doesn't look like a tank or a rocket vehicle, but more like a large SUV that travels through swampy terrain.

  The identity of these people's colleges is self-evident.

   Judging from the equipment on their bodies, it is not used to fight against people, but more to be used against different types of equipment. Therefore, it can be inferred that this team is likely to be a "scientific expedition team".

   It is not difficult to deal with this group of people, but it is too close to the Wandering Swamp, so it may not be a good thing to make the other party anxious.

   Teaching them a lesson is enough.

  As the head of the corps, he needs to consider more things.

   Right now, the task of the managers is still the most important, and they need to avoid unnecessary complications as much as possible.

  All the good names are given to the dog: "What if those people come back?"

  Old Bai raised his chin and pointed to the two dying lying on the ground not far away.

   "There are prisoners here, bandage them... By the way, you go offline and go to the official website to update the mission status."

  The murderous dagger pressed the muzzle of the gun helplessly, and closed the safety.

   "Xingba."

  The battle has entered the stage of cleaning the battlefield.

  Among the four people left behind by the academy, only two died. One of them was a bionic person and the other was a prosthetic person. Some parts can be recycled.

  The guy who was hit by the RPG before survived the fate, but passed out, and the players were also in disbelief.

   In addition, there was a female prospector who was shot in the abdomen and right leg, and basically lost her ability to move.

   There are medical kits in the "Killer Whale" transport plane, including sprays to stop bleeding, bandages to accelerate wound healing, and oral reagents to accelerate hematopoiesis, produced by Kangmao Group in Ideal City.

  Old Bai asked for a few medical kits from Sun Ze, distributed some to his teammates, and then walked over to the female prospector who was leaning against the crooked neck tree.

  Looking at the man walking towards him, Chen Yutong breathed weakly and quickly, and his eyes shrank back in fear, but he quickly gasped because of the pain caused by the wound.

   Staring at the burly man in front of her, she said in a trembling voice.

"What do you want to do…"

   Almost everyone on the entire planet—even human or not—sees them as "food and drink". Even if they are not interested in their knowledge, the bionic prosthesis can be sold for a lot of money.

  She had heard how miserable the final fate of those researchers who fell into the hands of other forces was, but she never thought that she would encounter such a situation one day.

  What will happen next, she can hardly imagine...

  However, the man in front of him didn't do anything to her.

   "Bandage your wound, or you can do it yourself."

   "Braiding?" Chen Yutong looked at him vigilantly, with obvious distrust written on his face, "You...why, you want to save me?"

  Old Bai said casually.

   "No reason, our army does not kill prisoners."

   Except mutants and marauders who cook people in oil.

   If you want to blame it, blame the game for being too realistic, and sometimes he can't help but go off.

   But in fact, since the mines in Qingshi County opened, they have rarely executed looters except for mutants who are still killing without mercy.

   Leaders who refused to surrender would be hanged for public display, while some young men were mostly sentenced to hundreds of years of hard labor based on the victim's confession.

  As for the active substances and raw materials in the downstream of the nutritional cream industry chain, they have basically been replaced by slime mold fruiting bodies. Although the conversion rate is not high, the quantity is large and cheap.

  Chen Yutong stared blankly at the man in power armor in front of him.

  When did the company have this tradition?

   Seeing that this guy still had the strength to speak, Lao Bai threw the medical kit beside her.

   "Since you can still move, I won't help you."

   Wearing power armor, he is not very good at controlling power.

  Glancing at the medical kit, Chen Yutong held out his hand after hesitation, and said thank you in a low voice when he lowered his head.

  Old Bai didn't care, he walked to the side to see the condition of another prisoner, and then went straight to the outside of the temporary camp.

  The team members who went to support the fifth group have returned.

  In addition to the pilot and "his SSSR-level battle pet", he also brought back a sniper with a mouth full of mud, and a bionic man tied into a rice dumpling.

   "These guys... really belong to the academy." Seeing the expressionless bionic man, Sun Ze muttered to himself with a surprised expression on his face.

  Hearing this sentence, Lao Bai looked curiously at the pilot and asked.

   "How is this judged?"

  Sun Ze smiled and said.

   "It's too easy. The bionics of Kangmao Group are much more advanced than them."

  Old Bai was stunned.

  He has never seen the performance of the bionics of the enterprise on the battlefield, and this is the first time they have confronted the bionics head-on.

   More advanced than the Academy’s…

  Is there such a thing?

   Xuan Feng lay expressionless, not paying much attention to this kind of innocuous ridicule.

   On the other hand, Zhao Xiao, who was standing next to him, was a little excited. When he heard someone ridiculing the technology of the academy and comparing it with the company, he immediately jumped up like a rabbit whose tail has been trampled on.

   Poohing the mud in his mouth, he stared at the arrogant guy and said.

   "Fart! You guys...are more advanced than us!"

"Otherwise?" Sun Ze glanced at this guy, couldn't help laughing, and continued in a teasing tone, "If you can't even make an emotion simulation program and expression adjustment plug-in, you are worthy of talking about advanced? "

"Continue to fart! Who told you that we can't do it? You stole the core AI-related technology from us!" Zhao Xiao blushed anxiously, arguing, "We are just too lazy to waste on such meaningless things time."

  It's useless to make so many fancy expressions for the robot!

  Isn’t it enough that something like a bionic person can do work? !

  Sun Ze picked out his ears and said disdainfully.

"It's okay to steal... That's the old calendar from many years ago, and even the endpoint cloud has been updated with more than a dozen new versions, so you still can't forget it. By the way, if you really want to talk about it, the AI ​​core is also the technology of Renlian , at most temporarily kept in your place, how could it become yours?"

  Although the old events of a century and a half ago are rarely mentioned, it is no secret in Ideal City. If you spend some time, you can even check the record of the lifting of the ban on the endpoint cloud.

  But even if he knew about it because of his interest, he has no interest in studying this past in depth.

  The research institutes on the east coast were originally funded by the Ministry of Production. Water, electricity, food, research consumables, and consumer goods all came from the Ministry of Production. Their ancestors just took away what belonged to them.

   On a larger scale, the bankruptcy of the post-war reconstruction committee was not the responsibility of any one person.

  It just finished its life cycle like a big tree.

  He felt that even without the Willanters and the long winter, there would be other problems that would make them diverge from each other.

   Maybe someday in the future. The ideal city will also disappear in the long river of history, just like the People's Federation, which once flourished.

   But honestly, he really doesn't care.

  Even the sun is not eternal, so how can mortals dare to say it is eternal.

  He doesn't want to stretch his neck to look too far ahead, and he doesn't want to be a person who twists his neck back. Now the road under his feet is fine.

   When he returns to Ideal City, he can go to Duan Dian Yun to brag—oh no, to share his new life.

  In this mission, he not only took the same flight as the legendary Burning Corps, but also fell from the sky with them.

   Isn't this much better than the 2000 points in "Battle Royale"?

  However, the attitude of the prisoner still made him a little uncomfortable, so he looked at Lao Bai who was standing aside watching the play.

   "Can I give him two feet?"

   After all, he was not a prisoner himself, so he still asked out of politeness.

  Old Bai shrugged and said with a grin.

   "We can't abuse the prisoner, but I can let him go temporarily and let you have a fair fight."

  Sun Ze shrank his neck.

   "That's okay."

  Zhao Xiao looked eager to try, but he didn't expect that the guy he was fighting with was discouraged, and immediately clicked his tongue in disappointment.

  However, I don't know if it was intentional or not. This disdainful smack of lips happened to be heard by Sun Ze, and the two started a verbal battle again.

   But it's obvious.

   In terms of slander and yin and yang, it is obvious that enterprise employees who have been surfing on the endpoint cloud all the year round are more experienced.

   It was Zhao Xiao's unilateral blush.

  Anyway, the plane doesn’t look like it can be repaired anymore, and the players watching the fun started discussing it with great interest.

  The sixth in the corner: "I think the enterprise is more advanced! Those bionic people not only understand art, but also can buy things and pay for them."

"That's not necessarily the case. I think that Mantis Knife is even more awesome. I almost died..." Said something extraordinary in an ordinary tone, Ye Shi stretched his neck and looked around, and suddenly found that there was someone missing. "I wanted to ask just now, what about quitting smoking?"

  The sixth child in the corner: "Hey, that guy is gone again, did you just find out? Wait, why did I say again?"

   "It's gone?" Ye Shi was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't pay attention to it just now, and then asked, "Where is Brother Dao?"

  The sixth child in the corner smiled embarrassedly: "That guy was shot twice in the leg. When he was in the reeds, he asked me to mend him... and told me not to tell everyone."

  Ye Shi couldn't help but said, "Damn! What a waste."

  The sixth child in the corner smiled shyly and said, "Intellect department, it's normal to be weak, please understand."

  Lost Mengxin: "Hahahaha!"

  Gust: "..."

  Chen Yutong looked at these people nervously.

  Seeing the two sets of recovered exoskeletons, she guessed that they were probably dead, but she didn't understand why these people could still laugh.

   It was Zhao Xiao who made her even more nervous.

   This kid had a quarrel with the employees of that company, and the more he scolded, the worse it sounded. She was really worried about what these people would do to them.

  The only thing that surprised her was what the man in power armor said just now.

  ‘Aren’t they with the business? '

   Chen Yutong was thinking in his heart.

  However, whether it is or not, their mission seems to have failed, and it seems that there is little point in studying this now...

  In the corner not far away, Luo Yu comforted Xiao Yu's head.

"Okay, don't be depressed... that guy is not an organism, and it's normal not to be able to eat it. You can control it, which has helped me a lot. By the way, don't pick up everything and stuff it into your mouth, and eat it badly What's wrong!"

  The brothers of the Burning Legion changed the rope to bind the iron lump, but they didn't need it to continue to bind the thing with its tentacles.

  Xiao Yu still had a frustrated expression on her face, muttering in her mouth.

   "Eep..."

  It still doesn't understand.

  Why can’t I eat that thing.

  At this time, the Killer Dagger, who had just logged off to report the progress of the mission, walked towards the crowd.

"new task!"

  Old Bai immediately looked at him and asked.

   "What does the manager say?"

  The murderous dagger said helplessly.

   "Administrators say... put us on standby near the crash site."

  Old Bai frowned.

   "I'm afraid we can't stay here for too long...Did you tell him about the exchange of fire with the academy's exploration team?"

"Speaking of which, he still praised us in the mission pop-up window for a good job..." Murderer Dagger smiled sheepishly and continued, "In short, he is busy negotiating with the company to see if he can persuade them to send another plane over... But the corporate side seemed shocked, they didn't expect to lose a plane."

   Nice job and okay.

  Old Bai stared at him blankly, and asked in a low voice.

   "Ah...it's okay, right?"

"The manager said it doesn't matter if the pilot is fine," Killing Dagger glanced at the cerebral palsy who was still arguing with the prisoner, "The company means that it doesn't matter if the plane blows up if it can't be repaired, but the pilot must be alive, otherwise they won't Take another risk for us... that's the bottom line."

  The surrounding players looked astonished.

  After a while, Ye Shi scratched his head, and looked at the transport plane with reluctance, and the co-pilot next to the transport plane scratching his head at the manual.

  He finally couldn't help but complain.

   "Damn...if you break an engine, just throw it away."

   What a waste!

  …

  The border of the Golden Lizard Kingdom.

  A man dressed in luxurious clothes stood on the sand dunes, followed by a row of dismounted cavalry in bright clothes.

  His name is Blair Golden Lizard, and he is the prince of the Golden Lizard Kingdom.

  Looking at the tracked vehicle approaching in the distance, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he opened his arms from a long distance away.

   "Welcome! Friends from afar! On behalf of the Golden Lizard royal family, I welcome you!"

  Put it together with the hundreds of cavalrymen behind Blair, and the angular tracked vehicle in the distance looks out of place, but there is no sense of disobedience in the wasteland background.

  The car stopped on the sand dunes.

   Li Ke, who got off the car, walked up to the aristocratic man, smiled and stretched out his right hand, shaking hands instead of hugging.

   "B-level researcher Li Ke, I would like to extend my greetings to you on behalf of the special planning team of the foreign affairs department of the college."

  Blair didn't care that the B-level researcher didn't hug him, but was pleasantly surprised by the level of the visiting personnel.

  Generally speaking, A and B-level researchers rarely leave the academy, let alone leave the Wandering Swamp. It seems that there are only two times in the history of the Golden Lizard Dynasty to welcome the visit of a B-level researcher.

"We have prepared a palace for you to stay in... Please come with me." Suddenly, his eyes fell on the tracked vehicle, as if remembering something, he quickly smiled embarrassedly, "Of course, you Just in the car...we'll be right up front and show you the way."

  Li Ke nodded with a smile.

   "Then respect is worse than obedience."

  The academy hasn’t changed the past few years, at least they have “sacrificed” a lot when it comes to doing as the Romans do.

  A long time ago, it was because of their lack of flexibility and lack of attention to politics that they were robbed of their family property by two traitors.

Under the leadership of Dr. Conclusion, the college that escaped into the swamp has carried out a series of painful reforms, and strengthened cooperation with the outside world on the basis of emphasizing academics. The Research Division parallels the executive branch.

According to Dr. Conclusion's guiding ideology, they have used some "simple techniques" to win over a group of weaker survivor settlements over the past 150 years, and established a "scientific science" centered on the college in the Wandering Swamp. committee".

Under the framework of the Science and Technology Committee, they can absorb fresh blood from the affiliated survivor settlements to enter the academy to become grassroots cadres, exchange limited technology sharing for the subordinate "primary industry" and "secondary industry", and rely on those survivors to live together The land's dependence on the college has turned it into a moat for the college.

  The Kingdom of the Golden Lizard is one of the moats of the college, and it is also one of the biggest achievements since the establishment of the Department of Foreign Affairs.

  The food it produces not only supplies the academy, but also supplies other "technology alliances" of the academy in the wandering swamp.

  Now the war in Luoxia Province has seriously affected food production. Especially when a nuclear bomb was even detonated last month, it caused panic inside the Science and Technology Committee.

  Many people worry that the storm that swept through the desert will spread radioactive fallout on the farmland of Oasis 8.

Although this kind of worry seems a bit funny in the wasteland, who doesn't touch it these days, but in order to appease the anxious children, the chief technology officer of the college still did some necessary work after listening to the report of the Science and Technology Committee , and handed over the task of mediating the war to the Department of Foreign Affairs.

  To be honest, Li Ke found it difficult.

  In view of the company's current posture of "fighting according to the head of the army", even his bionic assistant feels that the probability of an all-out war is close to 60%.

   Maybe by the beginning of spring next year, the tide-like army of clones will rush into Luoxia Province with the Legion's strategic nuclear reserves on their backs.

   But even so, he felt that if he didn't do anything, the legacy left by his ancestors in Luoxia Province might not last for a few years.

  A good choice is to persuade enterprises to accept as soon as they are good.

  However, according to what the pilot named Yucal said, the legion was not hit on the head by the enterprise, but was beaten black and blue by a group of wastelanders who united.

   This was completely beyond his expectations.

  No matter how weak the army's deployment in Luoxia Province is, it is still the army that dominates the west of the Central Continent.

  Those guys fought against the barbarians, mutants, and aliens they called day and night, how could they not defeat a group of wastelanders.

   He once suspected that Yukar was lying.

  But he really couldn't analyze the motive of that guy's lying, so he decided to go to the vassal country to find out the actual situation before making further plans.

  If it is true as Yucal said, it is the "alliance" that is leading the war, and the corporation is just fanning the flames behind it...

  Convincing a regional survivor force to quit as soon as it is good is obviously much easier than convincing their old enemies to cease fire.

   Li Ke returned to the car and signaled the driver to follow the group of cavalry to move on.

  But at this moment...

  He suddenly received a call from the Department of Foreign Affairs.

"Failed?!"

   Sitting up from the chair suddenly, Li Ke's face was full of surprise.

impossible.

   The "Beacon" team is quite well-known in the Containment Planning Team of the Investigation Department, and that group of people is no doubt an expert in exploring ruins.

  How could it be impossible to deal with a half-dead nibbler and its resentful mother.

   Realizing that the situation might be more complicated than he imagined, Li Ke frowned slightly, and continued to ask non-stop.

"what's going on?"

  The communication channel continued.

"According to the leader of the beacon team, they encountered the transport plane of the enterprise... A group of people came down from it and intercepted the matrix. And there are indications that the matrix should be related to the enterprise. Not only did it not attack the employees of the enterprise, but also Employees who helped the Enterprise captured one of our android operators."

   "Corporate Aircraft?!"

   Li Ke was stunned, and his face soon became serious.

  Although he didn't want to do too much interpretation, the appearance of the Enterprise's plane near the Wandering Swamp was not a friendly gesture.

  Especially when they secretly study those mutant slime molds...

   Pressing the center of his eyebrows with his index finger, he thought for a moment.

   "Can the captured android be contacted?"

   "Can't be contacted... They should have wrapped it with some metal object, or removed its communication chip."

Too.

  The other party is not a fool.

   Li Ke closed his eyes and thought for a long time.

  His first priority is to mediate the war.

  As for the mother body... Although he is very interested, if it is created by a company, this matter is beyond the scope of his authority. It can only be handed over to the director of the Department of Foreign Affairs or even the chief technology officer of the college to decide how to deal with it.

   "Don't act rashly in this matter, let the beacon team stop and stand by, and don't reveal our identity."

  The other end of the communication channel hesitated.

   "But...we shot down their plane."

   The corner of Li Ke's mouth twitched.

   "It's okay, that kind of industrial waste will cause problems even if it is left alone... Maybe they fell by themselves."

  A wry smile came from the other end of the communication channel.

   "We have captives on their side."

   "Android?"

   "No... it's an E-level operator, maybe two or three are not sure, they retreated too hastily, and there was no time to confirm the status of their teammates."

   This bunch of trash who have done more than succeed in their affairs!

   Li Ke couldn't help cursing in his heart, took a deep breath, and tried his best to lower his soaring blood pressure.

  However, at this moment, he has completely forgotten that the person who ordered to capture the mother is himself.

   captive...

   is indeed a problem.

  The college's AI can guarantee absolute loyalty, but it's not necessarily true for humans, let alone an E-rank.

  Fortunately, the E-class should not be able to grasp the complete information of the mission, even if they are interrogated, they probably won't be able to ask any sensitive things.

  The first priority now is "war mediation".

  As for the matrix thing...

   Without the authorization of the chief technology officer, even if he wants to find people, he can't do anything with the authority in hand, and he can't send another exploration team there.

  The Investigations Division would never agree.

  The index finger tapped on the armrest of the seat, Li Ke said slowly.

   "The one who is admitted is the prisoner."

   There was silence on the other side of the communication channel for a while.

"yes…"
