"Where did you hide him?"
The moment he heard these words, the man called BOSS subconsciously turned his gun and pointed it in the direction of the voice.
However, there was no one there. He only saw something the size of a can wobble across the door and roll into the room.
The moment his eyes met the thing, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he knew something was wrong, but it was too late to react.
The instantaneous explosion instantly injured more than half of the militants in the room. The man called BOSS quickly pulled the trigger in his hand and fired a burst of bullets at the door.
In a trance, he saw a figure and the blood that splashed on the figure.
However, before he could get excited, the moment he saw that face clearly, his mood instantly sank to the bottom of the valley.
The face covered in blood was not the face of the intruder at all, but the brother he arranged to stand guard at the door.
There was no time for him to react. He had just pulled out the battery on the side of the barrel after emptying a round of bullets. The meat shield that was placed in front of him like a shield smashed towards him like a rag.
Then there were two or three gunshots. Several militants standing next to him only made a short muffled sound, then they raised their heads and fell to the ground.
So strong!
No, it's not as simple as being strong …
Is this guy really a human?
There was a trace of panic in his heart. The man desperately pulled the ring of the grenade, threw it forward fiercely, and then suddenly jumped to the side.
The heat wave of the explosion swept past his back, followed by the wailing of his teammates in the communication channel. There was no time to look at the tragedy on the battlefield. He rushed to the metal door on the side in a panic and used all the power of the exoskeleton to hit the door with his shoulder.
There was only one thing on his mind now, and that was to escape from here …
However, his hopes were dashed in the end.
A hand grabbed him from behind, and then a huge force lifted his feet off the ground.
Then, he only felt a force like being dragged by a truck from his neck, and his whole body was thrown into the wall along with the 300-pound exoskeleton armor.
"Damn it …"
He used all his strength to pull out the pistol from his waist, but before he could point the muzzle forward, a flying dagger split the barrel open.
He screamed in pain and subconsciously loosened his grip on the gun. Before he could react to what had happened, a hand had already grabbed his neck.
The blood dripping from his forehead blurred his vision. He looked at the expressionless man in front of him in fear. He used all the strength in his body to squeeze out a sentence from his throat.
"Who are you …"
"It has nothing to do with you." After cutting off the power of the exoskeleton armor, Wang Peng continued in a cold tone, "Now it's your turn to answer my question."
"What do you want to know? I'm just doing my job for money. As long as you let me go, I'll tell you everything."
"Where is Academician Lu?"
"I don't know … Ahhh!" Looking at the dagger in his shoulder, the man who was pressed against the wall screamed in pain. However, no matter how he struggled, he couldn't get rid of the hand at all.
"I'll ask you again, where is Academician Lu?"
"I'm not lying, I really don't know —" Seeing the witness in front of him take off another dagger hanging on his chest, he quickly shouted, "Wait a minute, wait a minute! I said, I know where he is! "
The movement of his hand slowed down a little. Wang Peng looked at him blankly and pressed the dagger against his left shoulder.
"My patience is limited. You'd better not try to play tricks with me."
Nervously glancing at the dagger on his left shoulder, the man nervously swallowed his saliva and quickly said.
"The person who hired us is Mayor Xiao."
"I'm asking where Academician Lu is."
"Wait a minute! I'm about to say it! He was sent to the town hall. I don't know the exact location, but I'm sure he was sent there! "
"Town hall?"
Wang Peng frowned and looked at him suspiciously.
"Are you messing with me?"
"I'm not! I swear I'm not messing with you! "
At this moment, Boris couldn't care less. He was just a mercenary. Credibility was one thing, but it was not worth mentioning at all in front of his life.
He only regretted one thing now, that was, taking this damn mission and getting involved in the conflict between the colony and Pan-Asian Cooperation. If it was just robbing a merchant ship or taking on a job as an assassin, how could he encounter such an unreasonable monster?
Wang Peng couldn't tell whether what this guy said was true or not. After pondering for a while, he looked at him and continued to ask.
"What do you want with Academician Lu?"
"Warp drive!"
Looking at Boris suspiciously, Wang Peng's right hand slightly tightened as he spoke in a warning voice.
"Xiao Hong even told you this kind of thing?"
"This is not a secret at all. Almost everyone in the Alliance Army knows about it!"
"Alliance Army?" Wang Peng frowned slightly and said puzzledly. "What is that?"
Looking at Wang Peng in surprise, Boris murmured to himself.
"You don't know? I thought you had already found out … "
Wang Peng said impatiently.
"I'm asking you a question."
"Don't get excited, I'll say it now." Feeling the force on his shoulders, Boris said quickly, "A long time ago, the colonial cities on Mars reached an agreement to seek to form a regional alliance dominated by the Martians themselves … just like the Pan-Asian Cooperation. This includes Tiangong City, New London, New Virginia … The senior executives of the alliance are all prominent figures in the local cities. "
"Get to the point."
"In order to be independent, we need weapons!" Boris quickly stopped talking nonsense and continued nervously, "The Pan-Asian First Fleet is too powerful. Even if the entire solar system fleet is combined, they are no match for them. However, things will be different if we master the technology of faster-than-light speed. Our ships will be able to appear wherever we want. "
The suspicion on Wang Peng's face became more and more obvious.
It was hard to imagine that a mercenary could know so many things, but he knew nothing about this information.
"You said you are just a mercenary?"
Boris said tremblingly, "I am indeed a mercenary. In the Alliance Army, there are many people like me who work for money. After all, not everyone cares about who the ruler here is like them … "
Seeing the man in front of him fall into silence, Boris gulped and continued in a low voice.
"I told you everything I know … Can you let me go now?"
Wang Peng glanced at him and threw away the dagger in his hand.
However, before Boris could breathe a sigh of relief, he pulled out the pistol from his waist and pushed the safety off.
All the hairs on his body stood on end, and he struggled like a fish out of water, shouting in terror.
"Wait, this is different from what I said …"
"What did I say?"
The cold voice fell, followed by a gunshot.
Looking at the man lying in a pool of blood, Wang Peng lowered the muzzle in his hand and put it back on his waist.
It was impossible to let this guy go.
If he had time, he could spare his life and hand him over to the law for trial.
But now, he had more important things to do.
"City hall … My guess is correct. We are still a step too slow."
Although he knew the whereabouts of Lu Zhou, the expression on Wang Peng's face was not relaxed at all.
That's the city hall …
The core of power of the entire Tiangong City was located below the center of the dome.
Not only were there militia and guards there, but there were also countless drones patrolling the surroundings. It was almost impossible to sneak in.
As for attacking, it was even more unrealistic for him.
Although there was no aviation defense power on Mars, the ground defense force was still not small. In order to guard against air pirates and threats from other colonial cities, the militia here was even equipped with heavy weapons such as electromagnetic tanks.
Not to mention himself.
Even if all the intelligence personnel on Mars were combined, they might not be able to break in.
"It seems that I can only ask for support …"
After taking a look at the messy stronghold, Wang Peng walked to the desk and reached out his index finger and clicked twice on it.
Soon, a holographic video window appeared in front of him.
His index finger quickly clicked on the keyboard and entered the password. He quickly connected to the communication base station deployed on Phobos and sent a message to the intelligence receiving satellite on Earth, reporting the location and situation of Lu Zhou to his superiors.
He didn't need to elaborate on the importance of the warp drive, not to mention considering the important role played by Lu Zhou in the space elevator project, he believed that Captain Xing would make the right judgment.
Without waiting for a long time, Wang Peng quickly received a reply.
The reply was very short, so short that there were only four words and one punctuation —
[Already set off.]
