Temporary camps had been set up under the slender starship. The organizers had done their best, but they were still unable to provide shelter for the unprepared people who had hurriedly retreated from the starship within a day. The vast majority of them were destined to wander the wilderness and become homeless.
The surrounding wilderness had been cleaned up for many days, but there was still a strong smell of blood. Tens of thousands of Earthlings and countless members of the allied foreign races had died here. Just the bonfires that had been used to burn the corpses had been burning for a very, very long time.
The land that had been dug up was still scarlet. It was unknown how much blood had seeped into it. When the wild wind blew, the stench of blood assailed the nostrils. It was pervasive and omnipresent, as if they were sleeping in a damp swamp of blood.
However, this was not the worst part. All the difficulties could be overcome and endured by those who had already experienced trial after trial.
The worst part was that the starship had been shut down, and no news had been sent out. No one knew what had happened, and no one knew when the starship would reopen.
The slender man seemed to have disappeared as well. There was no news at all. Those small surveillance devices that had been automatically flying around the starship had all disappeared.
The entire starship was like a huge steel coffin, cold and silent. All the energy had disappeared, making everyone feel uneasy.
This kind of uneasiness continued to ferment with the passing of time and the lack of definite information. All kinds of guesses and rumors inevitably appeared and spread rapidly.
Even though Commander He of the Silver Army had done everything he could to prevent the news from leaking, the news that the key had flown away was still mixed in with the many rumors. With the starship as the center, the rumors radiated out to all the people.
He had just received news that a group of "troops" had appeared in the northwest. They were suspected to be Ogawa's troops that had set off a few days ago. Earlier, his old superior, Director Ruan, had sent him a message to inquire about the news through a secret channel.
There were more and more signs that people from all walks of life were rushing back, and they were definitely not coming with good intentions. In order to deal with the possible sudden changes and violent storms that were about to come, Commander He was badly battered.
After sending out the signaller who had delivered the information, Commander He and the few surviving staff officers continued to discuss while looking at the map. Just then, there was a commotion outside, and someone barged in with large strides.
Commander He raised his head and saw a burly figure. He signaled the guards who had followed him in not to stop him, and asked the other staff officers to temporarily leave the room, leaving only him and the burly man in the room.
"Your people are getting more and more outrageous!" The person who came in was the first to complain and spit on the ground. No one knew if he was trying to disgust Regiment Commander He.
"Did you leak it on purpose?"
Looking at the foreigner Ba Yi who was standing in front of him, Commander He ignored him and said coldly.
He had always regretted it. He should have thought of it long ago, but he neglected it. He thought that this person would keep it a secret like him. After all, this person was the one who told him that the key had flown away. He did not expect that the most likely person to leak the secret was this person who did not play by the rules.
The starship was shut down, Chu Yunsheng was lost, and Slender Man was nowhere to be seen. Commander He's first reaction was to immediately block the news and suppress the matter temporarily. Especially the matter about the key, it must not be leaked out. Then he quickly tried to find a way to get in touch with Chu Yunsheng.
But he was so busy that he forgot that the source of the news was not in his hands.
Until he found out that Ba Yi had disappeared for a night. Although he did not say anything after he came back, he finally realized what was going on.
"There are three reasons."
Ba Yi, who looked tired, did not deny it. He moved a simple stool from the side and sat down. As he spoke, he took off his boots, and then put them upside down on the ground, pouring out fine sand.
Thanks to the translator, he didn't need to use Chinese, and Commander He didn't need to use bad English. There was no one else in the simple house, so Ba Yi didn't need to lower his voice. Before Commander He could speak,
"First, it is a fact that the key has flown away. We can't hide it. Sooner or later, it will be known by others. My men have already been bribed by them."
Commander He snorted coldly and said, "But at least we can buy time!"
Ba Yi only nodded and did not refute. He put on the boot that he used to pour out the sand, took off the other one, and continued to do the same action, and then said, "Second, I don't know where the key has flown to, and you don't know either. We have to force him out, otherwise, things will get out of control!"
This was serious business. Speaking of serious business, Commander He had to put away his anger at Ba Yi for not informing him in advance. He frowned and said, "Didn't you send your men to chase after him? You still can't find him? I learned something. Among the people who left the starship in that direction that day, the most suspicious one is Bauer. "
Ba Yi paused, then shook his head and said resolutely, "It can't be him. Whether it is Mr. Chu or the key itself, they are not interested in him. I'm worried about another person."
Commander He asked curiously, "Who?"
Ba Yi glanced at Commander He in the container and said in a strange tone, "You don't know?"
Commander He was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing, it's fine if you don't know." Ba Yi smiled, put on the other shoe, and changed the topic, "If we don't find this person and let him secretly get the key, he will definitely not go there directly. Our plan will completely fail, and instead, we will be controlled and threatened by him. This is absolutely intolerable, and if that person gets the key, maybe something even worse will happen …"
Commander He's anger was rising faintly. What was he hiding from him again? Originally, he could only stay in the container all day, so he gradually became sensitive. Although Ba Yi saved his life, he had another purpose at that time, and he had always regarded himself as the most important force of Chu Yunsheng's "empire". Foreigners like Ba Yi, who was not even a natural human being, were naturally his "political" natural enemies.
Now Ba Yi deliberately said something that he didn't know, was he not trying to provoke him? Commander He didn't believe that Ba Yi didn't know that he didn't know, but now the important thing was more important. Although he didn't know why Ba Yi deliberately provoked him, he was still calm. He calmed down his anger and said in a deep voice,
"Didn't Xiao Na already go to the land of the key? No matter who gets the key, when they arrive there, Xiao Na should have already arranged everything, and Mr. Chu has already prepared for it. "
Ba Yi nodded, still did not refute, and continued, "So, third, I judge that the key was released on purpose by Mr. Chu. He has been hesitating about this matter for a long time, and he has been unable to make a decision. You also know this, and he has also asked you for your opinion.
I don't know what happened in the starship yesterday, but it must have been an emergency. Mr. Chu is temporarily uncontactable, but he and we both know that the matter of the key can't be delayed any longer. Instead of forcibly appointing a person and causing trouble again, it's better to let things take its course, let them fight among themselves, and let the human leader appear in its own way. "
"This is just your own guess!" Commander He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Although I am in the container, I also know that the person who gets the key will become the leader of all mankind and will have great power. The importance of this person to us is self-evident. Mr. Chu will not give up the right to choose. This is the greatest gift to the future leader. As long as the person is chosen by Mr. Chu, if this person wants to sit firmly in this position, he must have our support. This is the most beneficial to us. There is no need to give up such a big advantage."
"Then just treat it as an accident." Ba Yi waved his hand and did not argue, and said, "the current situation is that we can no longer control the key, let alone know where it is. If we don't find it quickly, we will completely lose control.
In addition, no matter who it is, as long as they get the key publicly and become the leader publicly, they must get the support of Mr. Chu. This is something that he can't do. "
Commander He was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "We may not be able to find it in this way. What if the person who gets the key doesn't come back? He has countless reasons not to come back and take the risk of being found out. He just needs to hide. "
Ba Yi snorted and said, "He can choose not to come back, but whoever doesn't come back will be the most suspicious, which will undoubtedly expose himself. As long as he doesn't reach the place of the key, he will be everyone's enemy, and he will definitely die. Therefore, he must come back to have a chance."
Commander He immediately asked, "This must be based on the fact that this person is very famous. Otherwise, who knows if he will come back or not? But how do you know that the person who gets the key will be a famous person, and not a nobody? "
Ba Yi smiled slightly and said, "How can a nameless person escape from Xiao Na's trap? Even if he spends his whole life, he will never be able to enter the place of the key, unless he bows down to us and is still under our control. "
"You just said that the key will find its own target?" Commander He looked at Ba Yi's eyes and suddenly said.
Ba Yi smiled faintly, but did not answer.
Commander He did not ask any more questions, and said, "Even if this is the case, all the big and small forces will immediately come back and ask us for the key. They will not believe that we don't know the whereabouts of the key. At that time, there will be chaos, and it will be a big problem!
And your people have been sent out. Xiao Na has an important mission and will not come back. My people have suffered heavy losses in the battle, and now they are in a mess. I can't deter them at all. "
Ba Yi buckled the belt on his boots, stood up, and stamped his feet twice on the ground. He seemed to be very satisfied. He looked up at Commander He and smiled slightly, "So, I came to find you!"
Commander He snorted coldly and said, "What's the use of looking for me? I am a f * cking canned man now! What do you mean? "
Ba Yi gave him a thumbs-up and imitated the jokes of some of Regiment Commander He's subordinates in his stiff Chinese, "Commander, Wise, Wise!"
Commander He was silent. After a while, he raised his head again and said, "I can persuade her, but you should know that those people have no skills, and they have no combat power. They can only scare them for a while. Sooner or later, they will be exposed. You have to find the key as soon as possible!"
Ba Yi nodded and said casually, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."
After that, he turned around and left. Looking at his back, Commander He's expression changed slightly, and he frowned. After a while, he called an officer wearing glasses.
"Old Chen, those who are not of our race must have a different heart." Commander He said slowly.
The officer surnamed Chen had a wound on his neck. He pushed his broken eye with his hand and said, "I suspect that after Mr. Chu took the transparent ball back from the master, it fell into his hands again. It is one with the key, and he obviously hid a lot of things from us. Commander, we can't wait any longer. Let's send a message to Ruan Xiaohong and Li Tiannan!"
…
Ba Yi, who walked out of the Silver Legion station, looked back, sighed, and asked the degenerate who came to pick him up next to him, "Still no news?"
The degenerate shook his head.
Ba Yi raised his head and looked into the distance, "Send a message to Chris and tell him to come back as soon as possible. Before dark, I must see him and his army!"
In the other direction, Andrew led his first team to a valley in front of them at the fastest speed. There was a faint sound of killing coming from there.
"What's going on?" Andrew ordered his men to rest for a while in case of any accidents.
"Reid, who is exploring the way, reported that it seems like Bauer's men have encountered an unknown enemy, and they are fighting. Should we rescue them?" The dog-headed advisor answered faithfully. Before the expedition this time, there was an agreement. If an ally encountered danger, the nearest human army had the obligation to rescue them.
Andrew personally came to the high ground, picked up the binoculars, looked at them for a while, and then put them down, "the person Bauer supports is Chris. Let our magical road lamp Chris come and save him! Let's go! "
The last ray of sunlight on the horizon was about to sink into the horizon. On the ground, countless running shadows and the starships that towered into the clouds were like the center of them. Smoke and dust billowed and gathered.
Night soon fell, and the army finally arrived one after another, gathering under the starships like dark clouds.
At this time, no one was interested in looking up at the starry sky. In the dark sky, where there should not be stars, suddenly flashed, and the light was dazzling.
