It wasn't that Wang Tong didn't want to keep a specimen for his research, but he was worried that it would attract more Zergs or even kill itself. Once the Zergs realized that there was no hope for them to survive, they would slowly shrivel up like jellyfish. Wang Tong had encountered this a few times before, and he hated the sound they made before they died, especially the thing on their heads that could simulate the environment. That was why he came up with this method. He used to plant vegetables when he was a kid.
Wang Tong had fallen in love with this method ever since he had the chance to experience the Smothering Explosion. It sounded like a victory cannon, even though it was a little dull.
Suddenly, Wang Tong heard a strange whistling sound coming from afar, but it didn't belong to the Zergs. Wang Tong stared at the sky and fell to the ground.
Why did the military always arrive when he was done with the battle?
Not long after the FFC's private guards entered Paradise Island, the Confederation's military also entered the island. The METAL soldiers started a fierce battle with the Zergs, to be exact, it was a cleanup battle. The number of Zergs wasn't that high, and the leader of the Zergs was also dead, so it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out by the military.
Zhao Yongzhuo didn't dare to be negligent. Not all of the military was fighting the Zergs, some of them had gone to rescue the Zergs. Wang Ben wasn't a nobody, and General Hu Ben wasn't someone to be messed with either. Moreover, there were other reasons for this, and even though Zhao Yongzhuo didn't know the reason, he still had to carry out his orders.
Hopefully, the three of them would survive, but the chances of that happening were slim since they were trapped in the same island with so many Zergs.
The FFC's private guards were tasked to protect the base, and as long as the base wasn't destroyed, they would be able to minimize the damage. Ma Xiaoru and the others were anxiously searching for Wang Tong and the rest under the protection of the private guards.
Suddenly, a small team from the Confederation found a large open field littered with Zergs' corpses, and three unconscious young men.
"Sir, we've found them."
"How many?"
"Three of them, unconscious, and badly injured."
"Very well, bring them back immediately … But be careful, don't let the FFC see them."
"Yes, sir!"
The soldier signaled, and immediately someone took out some clothes for the three of them to change into, then they carried them back to the warship.
On the command ship, Zhao Yongzhuo heaved a sigh of relief. Obviously, the mission was to attack the FFC, but if Wang Ben's life was involved, then things would have taken a turn for the worse. Knowing that Wang Ben was fine, the next step was to collect evidence. The experiment on Paradise Island must have been against the rules. Not to mention the fact that the number of Zergs on the island was way over the limit and the out-of-control incident was enough to keep the FFC's leaders busy.
As a soldier of the younger generation, Zhao Yongzhuo was the same. Zhao Yongzhuo first sent the news of Wang Ben's safety and the current progress to the headquarters. Unexpectedly, the other side quickly sent a new order. This order made Zhao Yongzhuo a little confused, but he still followed it.
About ten minutes after Wang Tong and the other two were sent to Zhao Yongzhuo's Battleship, Ma Xiaoru had also received the news. Martyrus and Samantha were furious that the military had detained their students!
"Colonel Zhao Yongzhuo, our students are on your warship!" As the principal of Bernabeu, Martyrs had the right to question Zhao Yongzhuo.
After all, Samantha was still young. Although she was the heir of DREAM, it was just a business company, and she had no influence in the military. Even if she had some influence, it was because of her family's relationship with the Ma family and the Blade Warriors. Even if Zhao Yongzhuo didn't want to give face to Martyrus, Zhao Yongzhuo was different. Over the years, Bernabeu had trained many elites, and Zhao Yongzhuo didn't dare to disrespect the old principal.
"Principal Martyrs, Wang Tong, Apache, and Wang Tong are the witnesses of this incident, and they are also suspects. We need to detain them for now!"
"Colonel Zhao, are you kidding me? The three of them were just victims of the Zergs' rampage. I hope you can hand them over immediately!" Samantha was furious. Things were getting out of hand, and she couldn't believe that even the students were implicated.
"Principal Samantha, please calm down. I'm just following orders. The number of Zergs on Paradise Island is estimated to be around five thousand, and this is way beyond the standard for experiments. Also, more than a thousand Zergs were killed when we arrived at the scene. This is too strange, and we need to investigate the three students. As for their safety, please be assured that they will receive the best medical treatment from the military, and without your permission, the military will not make any decisions on them!"
Zhao Yongzhuo was speaking in an official tone. Actually, the first order he received was to send Wang Ben back to the headquarters after the incident happened, but he didn't expect the situation to change again. Zhao Yongzhuo was not an idiot, and he knew that something was wrong. However, he couldn't figure out why it happened to the three students. Perhaps it was related to Wang Ben, and the other two were just a cover-up.
This was not something he needed to think about, but he was shocked when he saw the images of the battlefield sent back by the soldiers. There were Zergs' corpses all over the place, and there were countless of them within a radius of a few hundred meters. This was definitely not something that three students could do, and it must be a top-notch expert. But who saved the three students?
Judging from the anxious look on the FFC's face, it shouldn't be their people, but why would a third party expert appear here?
Legend had it that every direct descendant of the five aristocratic families had a guardian. Of course, this was just a rumor, and Zhao Yongzhuo could only gather information about it.
"Colonel Zhao, if they are hurt, you will have to take full responsibility!" Ma Xiaoru's face was cold, and it was obvious that she was angry.
Zhao Yongzhuo muttered in his heart, but as a member of the Golden Eagle Faction, he didn't really care about what Ma Xiaoru thought. "I'm just following orders, contact the headquarters if you need anything."
After saying that, he turned off the communicator. However, things weren't over yet, Dr. Gimmers had already left with his men to guard the base. Since this was related to the FFC's research secrets, the military wouldn't be allowed to intervene.
Ma Xiaoru wasn't around, but since she was, the military couldn't just sit back and watch. Otherwise, the media would definitely exaggerate the situation, and it might even affect the House of Ma.
Samantha and Martyrus didn't expect the military to be so tough, but they were relieved that Zhao Yongzhuo wouldn't dare to do anything reckless. However, why did the military detain the three students?
Both principals looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
It was not the first time that the Golden Eagle Faction and the veteran forces were at loggerheads, so it was normal for them to react this way. It was also normal for them to want to catch the FFC's tail, but there was no reason for them to detain the three students.
Both sides were muttering to each other, and the situation was a little messy. However, after some simple treatment, the three of them quickly regained consciousness. Apache and Wang Tong were confused as they looked at the armed METAL soldiers around them. It seemed like the military didn't just rescue them, but also detained them.
As soon as the three of them woke up, Zhao Yongzhuo received the news that Wang Ben had been picked up alone. "I want to see my father."
"The general is waiting for you."
Zhao Yongzhuo connected to General Hu Ben's communicator, and a stern middle-aged man appeared on the screen. He looked like he would never smile, and he didn't even show any change in his expression when he saw his son had just escaped death. Wang Ben was the first to speak, "I want to go back."
"Colonel Zhao, please make the arrangements."
"Yes, General!" Zhao Yongzhuo carried out the order meticulously. What a strange pair of father and son.
"Do you want to say goodbye to your classmates?" General Hu Ben had a high reputation in the military even though they weren't from the same faction.
Wang Ben shook his head and didn't say anything. Zhao Yongzhuo immediately ordered his men to take him away.
Although the three of them were injured, they were all internal injuries, and their bones weren't broken yet. After the cell therapy, the external injuries had healed, and they could continue the treatment when they got back.
Zhao Yongzhuo knew that he had caught a big fish this time. Just as he was about to head to Paradise Island, he received another order from the HQ.
Wang Tong and Apache were summoned to the HQ as soon as they received the order.
Zhao Yongzhuo knew that either the two of them had offended someone, or someone was trying to mess with them.
As a soldier, all he had to do was to carry out the order.
On Paradise Island, the well-trained METAL soldiers had killed most of the Zergs, and teams of METAL soldiers were carrying out a thorough sweep to ensure that not a single Zerg would be spared. Meanwhile, the commanders of both sides were having a face-off at the entrance of the base. The military demanded to enter the base to "investigate", but the FFC refused.
The Zergs were already under control, and neither side was willing to give in. The situation was in a stalemate.
Samantha and Martyrus knew that this was not something they could get involved in, and they were anxious to get the three students back. Their special training was still ongoing, but the military didn't give them any response.
Martyrus had no choice but to use his connections to find out more about it, and he didn't want the students to get involved.
The rest of the students had no choice but to stay on the ship. The special training had to continue. The second round of the special training was to divide the students into different subjects. The subjects included METAL Combat skills, Battlecraft Combat tactics, operation, control, and awareness, and so on. The subjects included the control of heavy armored tanks and the distribution of stamina. Zhang Yan, Zhang Kui, and Rumi had performed well in the information warfare. However, the information warfare not only required offense, but also defense.
Karl and the others had no choice but to continue training and leave the rest to the headmaster. After learning that the three of them were safe, they were not very worried. After all, the three of them had at most entered a place that they should not have entered, and they were still students. At most, they would be released after a short interrogation. Besides, the two headmasters were here.
The confrontation between both sides lasted for a long time, and no one was willing to give up. In the evening, Martyrus received the news that Wang Ben had returned to Europe, and Apache and Wang Tong were detained by the military at the HQ, and they were going to be interrogated.
Wang Ben was confused, and the military was even more confused. The military wouldn't detain Wang Ben, but Wang Ben didn't need to return to Europe either, and he should have come back to report that he was safe. What did the military want from Wang Tong and Apache?
