The Ancient Bell was the largest spaceship owned by the Ancient Bell Company. Its endurance was one of the top ten in the entire Federation. The Ancient Bell Company was the largest company in the West Woods region of the Federation. Its business covered many industries, and its capital was extremely strong. However, even after hundreds of years of investigation by the West Woods Region Management Committee using the Company Information Disclosure Act, they still couldn't find out who was behind this giant company.
Many people guessed that other than the Federation's Asset Management Committee, there were also the shadows of the most powerful families in the West Woods region behind this company. Some people even faintly guessed that the Ancient Bell Company might be related to the 4th Military Region, which had been stationed in the West Woods region for countless years.
This time, in order to cooperate with the Federation's plan, the Ancient Bell Company sent this spaceship to the East Woods region to bring greetings and officials from the West Woods region. They started a series of government and civilian exchanges. On the surface, these activities were just to cover the actions of the 4th Military Region's special mecha team. However, no one expected that the real fatal blow to the traitorous mechanic was actually this spaceship itself!
It was just a commercial spaceship. How could it carry a space weapon that was strictly controlled by the military?
The captain of the Ancient Bell spaceship was a big fat man. After confirming the effects of the vertical cannon through the thermal sensor and the East Woods satellite imaging system, he relaxed and leaned against the sofa, panting. He took the cup of coffee from his secretary, which was still warm, and drank a few mouthfuls without tasting the taste.
"When Colonel Lake comes back, he will be very angry." The secretary reminded the captain in a low voice. According to the usual configuration, the captain was usually accompanied by an officer. However, this fat man obviously didn't have the self-awareness of a company. He treated himself as some kind of officer, because in reality, he was originally an officer.
The fat captain's face was very gentle, but the occasional flash of coldness in his squinted eyes showed his true personality. He said softly, "If Lake can complete this mission, of course I won't take the risk of using the main cannon."
The fat captain's brows, which were covered by the wrinkles, flashed with a hint of gloominess. He gritted his teeth and said painfully, "One cannon destroyed half a year's energy quota of the company. Do you think I don't feel bad? That brat Lake is such a f * cking disappointment. How much does the military spend on their special mecha team every year?! "
"There's nothing we can do about it. The orders from the capital are absolute. The President's office, the Bureau of Proclamation, and the Ministry of National Defense are all pressuring the commander. We can't waste these resources anymore." The secretary shrugged and said, "It's good that the problem is solved. I have to go quickly. I still have to report and explain to the Eastern Woods District Office and the Administrative Committee. I also have to pass on the Federation's order to them. Otherwise, not only will the exchange visit between Eastern Woods and the West Woods be ruined, but the Eastern Woods garrison warships will also fly into the sky and surround us in anger."
"Give them four guts." The fat captain's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. "Eastwood has been decadent for too long. Just hand over the Federation's secret order to the Sector Office. I don't think these officials will dare to do anything to our 4th Military Region. Speaking of which … the military region lost all its face on this stupid planet back then. Today, we've finally gotten some back. "
The secretary shrugged again. He was a civilian officer who had joined the Ancient Clock Company after retirement. Unlike the captain and the others, he still secretly maintained his military status in the 4th Military Region. Therefore, he did not understand, nor did he want to understand, why his comrades in the 4th Military Region always had such a strong sense of disgust towards the Eastern Woods District. The West Woods and Eastern Woods were clearly on opposite ends of the Federation. They were extremely far apart, and it was rare for them to even cross paths once in a few years.
The captain's room returned to silence. The fat captain carefully put the cold coffee beside him, turned on the secret circuit, and faced the motionless portrait on the screen. He was extremely respectful, and even a little flattering, as he lowered his head and said, "Boss, we succeeded."
The portrait was of a middle-aged man, wearing a well-ironed dark-colored military uniform. The gold stars and silver bars on his shoulders clearly showed this soldier's shocking military rank. The communication between Dong Lin and Cillin would take at least fourteen minutes. That was why the middle-aged general's portrait remained motionless like a puppet. However, his deeply furrowed brows and cold eyes still gave off an endless amount of pressure.
The fat captain swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued, "Just to kill the mechanic … we spent half a year's energy quota. But this was a mission issued by the Federation. Do you think you should send a letter to the President's Office to let the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy coordinate and give the company … a little compensation?"
He suddenly thought of a problem. Taking advantage of the time before the portrait on the screen moved, he said shyly, "Also … the young miss still refuses to eat today."
After saying this, the fat captain, who had fired the main cannon while talking and laughing, turned the mecha into ashes, and destroyed countless green spaces in the suburbs of Eastwood, shrunk and turned off the communicator. Then, he ran out of the captain's room with his butt raised.
…
…
Xu Le had also not eaten today. Under the cover of the explosion, he ran down from the hill. Taking advantage of the chaos in the suburbs of Hexi State, he successfully entered the underground waterway once again. He ran as fast as he could and finally ran into a forest where there were few people.
His butt fell into a thick layer of fallen leaves, shaking up a stale smell. The youth panted rapidly. He felt his body was abnormally tired and hungry. His heart was also very tired, tired because of sadness. No matter who it was, after experiencing what had happened today, their spirit would be greatly impacted. Moreover, he was not even 18 years old yet.
At this time, it was already late at night. Suddenly, there was a pitter-patter sound in the sky above the forest. Rain fell for no reason, shaking up the dust on the ground covered by fallen leaves, causing the entire forest to be filled with the smell of dust.
Xu Le, with his face covered in dust, his eyes were full of sadness. He closed his eyes, bit his lip hard, and took a deep breath. He looked at the signal jammer in his hand and found that the blue light was getting fainter and fainter. It would lose its effect in at most two minutes.
Let's begin.
Xu Le stared blankly at the metal bracelet on his wrist. Using the pad of his finger, he gently touched it, revealing the metal wires and those tiny chips inside. He felt his heartbeat become stronger and stronger, but his body was getting weaker and weaker. The piercing pain at the back of his neck spread from the bone to the rest of his body. It was extremely cold.
A new life was waiting for him.
