After entering the tunnel, Xiong Linquan told his concerns and Xu Le's analysis to the team members. The stone walls that were darker than the valley began to fill with an oppressive and tense atmosphere. The team members' expressions were very heavy. From time to time, they looked up and seemed to inadvertently glance at Xu Le's figure. They knew very well that if the lone army was intercepted by Colonel Li Feng's Mecha Battalion before boarding the spaceship, the remaining one in a thousand survival rate would all be on the boss.
After the Empire people in the team heard Paul's analysis in a low voice, their faces full of thick beards were full of panic. They were even more frightened than the team members because until now, they still didn't know the true identity of Xu Le, but they knew very well how terrifying the Federation officer named Madman Li was.
The dim backlight flickered slightly. An Empire person held his head in despair and cursed a few words in the Empire language with a Northern Star Region accent.
They fought for a long time on this meat-grinder-like Mo Hua Planet and were defeated by the lake. Then, they were inexplicably captured by this Federation team. After a series of battles, they entered the plateau and encountered earthquakes, but in the end, they still couldn't get rid of the shadow of death.
However, this was already deep into the actual control area of the Federal military. Other than desperately running with this Federation team and hoping that the Goddess of Luck who was laughing more and more at them, what else could they do?
The Imperial soldier who buried his head between his knees spoke faster and faster. His hoarse voice suddenly became sharp, and then, without any warning, it turned into a roar mixed with crying. His thin and weak shoulders kept trembling, and tears dripped down from his dirty beard.
Shan Pao and several other Federation soldiers stared at the corner in shock and vigilance. Their palms slowly moved to the side of their guns. They didn't want to become the victims of stray bullets at this critical moment because of an Empire brat's mental breakdown.
"He's cursing the Empire Military Department and the big and small nobles in his hometown. Well, he's just cursing the other party's mother over and over again. There's nothing new. You probably don't know very well that in the Empire, ordinary civilians, especially slaves, don't have much opportunity to receive education. "
Xu Le looked at the sobbing soldier and frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he continued to translate to his team members, "Right now, he is scolding the Military Intelligence Department. They said that those bastards only know how to play tricks and frame their colleagues. They threw their strongest reserve team into the encirclement of three mecha operators from the Federation just because their team didn't have the Royal Family's insignia and came from the Northern Starfield. They never liked the orthodox military. "
Hearing Xu Le's translation, the tension in the team gradually relaxed. They silently looked at the other side and naturally thought of their own experiences.
They thought of the pursuit by the base, the infamous federal investigation department of the federal government, and the small-eyed special forces that had left many of their brothers lying in a pool of blood. They felt sorrow in their hearts, and only then did they realize that everyone was in the same situation.
The tunnel was silent. The people of the Federation and the Empire had fought side by side for the past ten days. Even if there was no friendship, there was some trust between them. They also felt the same emotions. Thus, they all closed their eyes tiredly and began to prepare for the final battle tomorrow.
Xu Le didn't close his eyes. He checked on Da Vinci's condition and sat down beside the simple makeshift stretcher. He rubbed his slightly tangled eyebrows and silently looked at everyone's faces. He saw the helplessness and pressure in everyone's hearts.
Just hearing the name Madman Li almost made the Empire soldiers collapse. It could be imagined how terrifying that person was in their hearts. Including Shan Pao and Xiong Linquan, the Federation soldiers also found it difficult to suppress their nervousness and despair. If the battle was fair, the members of Group 7 would definitely be full of confidence in Xu Le. However, the problem now was that the Federation military wouldn't give them any fair chance to fight.
Conspiracy, framing, pursuit, base, and small number of people, the division between justice and betrayal — there was no fairness in this matter.
"We might die tomorrow, so I have something to say to you."
Lying on the stretcher beside Xu Le was Dongfang Yu. The former high-ranking officer of the Iron Seventh Division, whose wound had split open again, turned his head with difficulty and said with a hoarse voice, "The purge targeting Group 7 definitely has nothing to do with the division commander. I hope you can believe this."
Although the members leaning against the stone wall of the tunnel had their eyes closed, they were thinking about many things. Perhaps it was like how some literary novels described, seizing the last moment to reminisce about the most beautiful scenes of their lives. They weren't really asleep at all. When they heard this, they all opened their eyes and looked at him with puzzled frowns.
Dongfang Yu didn't seem to feel the mixed emotions in those gazes. His face was expressionless, and his hoarse voice was abnormally calm. It was very obvious that he was just trying to give some explanation or explanation before he left this world.
"Also, the attack on Group 7 on Planet Yellow Doom had nothing to do with the division commander, because I was the one who did it. Several members of Group 7 died because of that incident. Logically speaking, I should have died a long time ago. I also wanted to kill myself, but I didn't expect bad people to live for a thousand years. I didn't die even after staying in NTR for three years, and I was still alive even after taking a radiation bath in the Biji Plateau. This time, I've been lying on a stretcher for more than three goddamn months, and you all still refuse to f * cking throw me away. "
Dongfang Yu frowned deeply and said while panting, "Fine, I must accept your kindness, but I still want to tell you that this matter really has nothing to do with the division commander."
There was a saying in the Federation: A person who is about to die will not lie. The silent members in the tunnel believed Dongfang Yu's explanation, and they were so tired that they didn't have the strength to be angry about the incident on Planet Yellow Doom.
Xu Le silently looked at Dongfang Yu's ears that had been cut into two by Lao Bai, and suddenly said, "I never believed that Du Shaoqing would do that kind of thing, but I have something I always wanted to ask you. Before you were transferred to Planet Yellow Doom, did you ever think that my people would die?"
Dongfang Yu tightly pursed his gray lips and didn't say a word.
"Silence doesn't mean tacit agreement. Perhaps you are helping someone to hide it." Xu Le calmly looked at him and said, "Besides Du Shaoqing, in this world, the only people that you are willing to take the blame for are your dead comrades."
"I knew very early on that it was Ximen Jin's idea, including the modification of the Bureau of Proclamation's data. He was already killed by this young master, and his corpse was hung outside the parliament mountain for all to see. He was humiliated, yet you still wanted to help him keep his secret and protect his dignity. Isn't that a bit too stupid?"
Dongfang Yu stared at his face.
Xu Le said, "I don't care if you ever thought about killing my people, and I don't care if you have redeemed all your sins. Try to survive tomorrow, and we can talk about other things later. I believe that no matter if it's Jie Si, Jie Wen, or Mr. Shi, they will all agree to this."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another tremor from deep underground. Gu Xifeng spat out the grass in her mouth, took off her earpiece, and said, "The surveillance has found it. 11.2 meters underground, in the mine area."
