The 12 deserters were still reassigned to a new battalion.
Actually, they had no other choice. If they refused, they would be treated as deserters, and their lives might be over. The higher-ups wanted to give them a chance to redeem themselves.
But when they went to the barracks to report, almost all the original 180 soldiers there had mocking looks in their eyes. Although they didn't say it out loud, they were all discussing it when they were eating in the canteen. Some even scolded them for being deserters and found reasons to say that they had embarrassed the country's soldiers.
John and the others couldn't eat anymore and left the canteen. Then, they were called to the commanding officer's office.
The commanding officer directly called some authoritative scientists over to explain to them.
"You are the country's elite soldiers. If you turn into lunatics because of a single defeat, it will be too embarrassing for the country. It will also be a loss for the country. Therefore, I specially invited experts from the most authoritative fields in Harvard to explain the problems you encountered."
The experts rubbed their eyes and walked over with an authoritative look on their faces. They said to the 12 soldiers who needed psychological help, "Based on your testimony, you said that the tanks can fire automatically when no one is driving them, I can understand that our tanks are controlled by some kind of system. With the current technology, there are drones and unmanned ships, so it's not difficult to control tanks. Sigh, it seems that our country's soldiers still have a big problem with basic knowledge."
John's other comrades were a little angry. "Then, Professor, how do you explain that our own people fired at our own people? How do you explain that someone detonated a grenade to commit suicide? Could it be that this can also be controlled through a wireless system? We are not stupid, we know this common sense. Also, this time, in order not to attract the attention of other countries, the fighter jets and tanks are not the country's active tanks. They are all old, so old that there is no system to control them. May I ask, how do we control them through a wireless system? "
"Calm down." The new commanding officer waved his hand.
A few experts directly took out a set of data and said, "This is the amount of flour that has been tested on your bodies. This means that your mental state might be related to eating this stuff. Perhaps you are hallucinating?"
John and the others were furious.
"That place is in the middle of nowhere, and the weather is terrible. How many people can tolerate it? Don't talk about us in that weather, even in our country, isn't it normal to eat this stuff? We're all adults here. Don't look for objective reasons. Don't you believe us? Alright, this time we're willing to bring you in to see if the corpses and the base is really as we said. You old fellows can follow us if you have the ability. "
"We are scholars. Of course, we will find some materials this time. We really want to use the power of science to explain to you that there is nothing in this world that cannot be explained," a few experts said.
John: "Okay, then we're willing to lead the way, but only to retrieve the bodies of our comrades and repatriate them."
Officer: "That's good. Don't throw a tantrum. It's best not to disturb the morale of our army."
John: "No problem."
A few days later.
After reorganizing themselves, they once again entered the Land of Mercenaries under the guise of mercenaries from the Blackwater Company.
This time, they sent out five strategists and two generals, which was twice the number of people from before. This time, the scale was a bit larger, and they secretly infiltrated the Land of Mercenaries in three groups.
But every time he sneaked in, he didn't escape the eyes of the guests.
Li Wei was currently in charge of intelligence, and Dulson cooperated with him to investigate the area where the Americans were stationed.
When the American soldiers arrived at the previous base, it was already a mess. There was no one there, and the ammunition storage and some of their supplies had all been looted.
The corpses were all gone.
It was as if all the corpses had been vaporized.
After the three generals surveyed the surroundings, they asked the 12 soldiers leading the way, "Where are the corpses?"
John said, "The locals must have dealt with the plague. I'm sure everyone is dead, or else this place wouldn't be so deserted."
The three generals said, "Since we can't find the corpses, we have an obligation to continue looking. See who dealt with the corpses, and then we'll beat them up!"
The 11 deserters felt that this group of people had no intention of leaving. They immediately threw a tantrum and said, "Enough, we can't stay here for long. You said it yourself, we're just here to retrieve the corpses. Now that they've been dealt with, we should leave."
The strategists said, "No need, let's stay here. The terrain here is good, and it's easy to defend but hard to attack."
John said, "I still have to remind you that we should change locations. To be honest, I feel like we've violated something here. Otherwise, we wouldn't have suffered like before."
A few scientists said, "Then let's do it. We also want to see what will happen. This time, we don't have a tank. Everyone is in a good state of mind. No one has the habit of eating flour. Let's see who will go crazy and shoot at their own people."
The deserters felt humiliated once again.
At this moment, the soldier in charge of the radar said, "Sir, come and take a look."
The three generals and the experts went over to look at the radar.
They saw a dot moving quickly on the radar.
It was a few hundred meters away from them, and it was constantly moving. It was a living object!
However, everyone looked at the empty space around them and saw nothing.
John's scalp went numb, and he gulped. "I feel like something's wrong."
The deserters looked at the scientists and sneered. "Please explain why the radar can detect the movement of a living object, but we can't see it."
A few scientists were still looking at the radar. "He appeared 200 meters north."
Everyone looked in the direction 200 meters to the north, but they didn't see anything.
But there was clearly something moving on the radar.
"It's moving too fast," the technician said worriedly. "What the hell is that?"
The scientists smacked their lips and looked at the technician. "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the equipment?"
John breathed heavily and said, "I suggest we evacuate immediately! Otherwise, we'll all die. I feel like we've been targeted by the Grim Reaper! "
200 meters away, Dulson's figure was running so fast that no one could see him clearly. After checking the number of people and equipment, he left the Merrican base and met up with Li Wei.
"About 200 people," Dulson said. "They're stubborn and even brought in supplies."
Li Wei grinned. "You can tell Chekov that he's going to work."
Dulson smiled. "I think he'll cry. He hasn't even counted the supplies from before, and now someone is bringing them in. The Merricans are really rich."
Li Wei said, "Let them come. Like the captain said, they'll all die. We have to make them fear this place."
