"Report your name, identity, organization you belong to, reason for attacking the base, and purpose."
While Xiao Ran was sizing up the other party, the woman was also sizing up Xiao Ran. The white mask made it impossible for the woman to see Xiao Ran's face clearly, let alone his eyes and expression. It added a sense of mystery to the unknown. His indifferent tone seemed to leave no room for doubt, causing the female pilot to feel slightly uncomfortable.
When she was captured and held captive with no idea of her future, she could only watch helplessly as the people she was with were shot to death by MS without hesitation. This had also brought great shock to this woman. She knew that the other party did not care about their lives when they captured them. Moreover, they did not have any ability that would allow them to surpass the abilities of this world's humans.
Even if they were participants, even if they had abilities that the people in this world did not have, it was still impossible for them to fight against the huge steel product — the MS with their human bodies.
Not knowing what would happen next, the fear of the unknown, the mystery, and death had already caused the woman's heart to fall into a kind of fear and confusion. The woman was also very clear that she had only two advantages over the other participants. First, she had taken the initiative to surrender, and second, she was a woman.
After experiencing several worlds in a row, the woman was very clear that even in different worlds, women were more likely to receive some preferential treatment and care compared to men, especially in the case of her taking the initiative to surrender. Compared to those participants who resisted or wanted to escape, it was easier for her to gain the favor of this army.
The woman was extremely cautious in her heart, but she still showed her weak side. She covered her front with both hands and asked softly, "Who are you? If I tell you, can you guarantee my safety?"
Xiao Ran glanced at the woman indifferently. He did not take the woman's weakness to heart at all. As a participant, he knew very well what kind of people the participants were. Therefore, when facing the participants, he had to be extra careful. They had to be extra careful. Who knew what kind of incredible skills these participants had?
Xiao Ran seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, he was quite cautious when it came to the woman's question. He also said, "I'm the commander of this base. If you answer my question honestly, I can guarantee your safety."
The woman's eyes lit up at once. She glanced at Graham, who was standing by the door, and then at Xiao Ran. A look of struggle flashed through her eyes. However, at the thought of the participant's companions who were shot dead by MS without hesitation, he sighed in his heart and said, "My name is Nalor. I'm a freelance mercenary. I don't have any organization behind me. I just received a mission to occupy this base and delay it until the scheduled time."
This beautiful woman who was wearing a pink pilot uniform and had an exquisite figure was called Na Luo. Na Luo wasn't stupid and knew what she should and shouldn't say. Freelance mercenaries corresponded to Prometheus's identity as a participant, which wasn't a lie. The mission didn't mention where it came from, but Xiao Ran, who was also a participant, understood that these people who occupied the Union base might have really received a mission.
Xiao Ran was a participant, so he knew what Na Luo said was a lie. However, even if he wasn't a participant, he still wouldn't completely believe Na Luo's words. This was obvious from Graham's expression. Didn't Graham's disdainful pout mean that he didn't believe what the woman said at all?
Xiao Ran didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to ask, "What's the origin of the Mech you're piloting? You said that you're a freelance mercenary. How did you get such a Mech? "
Na Luo might have thought of this long ago. When she heard Xiao Ran's question, she said, "During the battle, didn't you have a similar Mech? Also, those strange Mechs that appeared during the battle. Don't you think that our Mechs are very similar? "
Xiao Ran's eyes under the mask suddenly narrowed. No expression could be seen on his face. "You mean that our military and the Mech in your hands came from the same place?"
Graham stood at the door and tilted his head. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Na Luo crossed her arms in front of her chest and gently shook her head at Xiao Ran. "I don't know because the Mech I'm piloting doesn't belong to me. It's the reward I received in advance for completing this mission. So instead of asking about the origin of my Mech, why don't you ask the pilot who piloted the black Mech? "
Xiao Ran felt that it was funny. This woman didn't know that the owner of the black Mech was standing in front of her. However, at the same time, he was extremely wary of this woman. Having big breasts didn't mean that she was brainless. If Xiao Ran was just a normal pilot who had just joined the Union, he might really be questioned because of this woman's words. At that time, Xiao Ran really wouldn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Xiao Ran was very concerned about the issue of identity. In addition, he knew that he could borrow the power of the plot. He had already prepared a perfect identity for himself.
Glancing at Nalor, Xiao Ran asked again, "Your relationship with the others. How did you receive this mission? Let me remind you, it's best to tell the truth."
Nalor was silent for a minute before slowly speaking. "I only know the others. We're not close. At that time, we were selected to test these new Mechs. During the test, we were discovered by your military and were attacked. After that, the people who created the Mechs gave us a mission to test the Mechs' combat ability. The reward for the mission was the Mechs that we piloted. The target was this base that sent troops to attack us."
Xiao Ran heard the reason why these participants attacked the military base from Nalor's words. Unsurprisingly, these participants were indeed discovered by the original commander of this military base and were captured. Perhaps it was because they wanted to take all the credit, or perhaps it was because they were too confident in their own power, but they didn't report what they did to their superiors.
As a result, these participants were angered and retaliated. They directly took over the base. However, as to what kind of side mission they received and how they triggered it, Xiao Ran didn't know. He couldn't ask directly. Besides, Xiao Ran also didn't know how these participants gathered together.
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and asked, "Then how were you selected to test these new Mechs? How did you get in touch with the people who created the Mechs? Since you received a mission, why did you threaten my military with supplies?"
Nalor looked at the white-masked man who had been speaking in a calm tone. She couldn't see her expression under the mask, so she didn't know what this masked man was thinking. She sighed softly and said softly, "Someone contacted me first. This person is also here now. He's the pilot who piloted the destroyed Mech. At that time, he contacted us and said that there was a mission with a very good reward, so we came over."
"The conditions that were proposed were not my idea. It was the idea of the person who contacted us. As for why, I don't know."
Xiao Ran nodded slowly. "In other words, you know each other before?"
"Yes."
At this point, Xiao Ran had a rough idea of what had happened. The participants who attacked the base were known to Prometheus before they came to this world. They should have exchanged contact information or something like that to communicate with each other. He didn't know if it was because of the failure of the previous mission, so the Torukis pilots were preparing to invite more people to participate in the mission this time. In the end, they were discovered when they were gathering, causing the commander of the military base to attack them.
Perhaps it was anger or some other reason that caused these participants to attack the military base, and then they received a side mission to occupy the base for a certain number of hours. As for the conditions that were proposed, Xiao Ran could understand it. It was to obtain normal supplies and strengthen relationships in this world. There was nothing much to say about this.
The key now was to determine whether these participants had joined any forces, and whether it would affect the Celestials.
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and suddenly said in a serious tone, "You should know the status of the Union on the international level. When you attacked this base, didn't you think that you would suffer from our retaliation? A group of freelance mercenaries, even if we gave you those Mechs, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with the power of the Union."
"That's right." Nalor pursed her lips and nodded. She said, "We also thought that the Union would retaliate and hunt us down, but if we showed our strength, other countries would also invite us to join. Maybe the Union would also recruit us because of our strength, and once we completed the mission, we would also take the initiative to join the Union. But we didn't expect … the end result to be like this."
"Ha." Xiao Ran felt a little speechless and shook his head with a smile. His eyes under the mask had already rolled up, and he didn't know what to say. This group of participants really didn't have a problem with their brains, but there was a problem with their understanding of the world. After all, no matter how much they looked like humans, they were not humans from Earth. Their understanding of the customs and morals of Earth was completely different.
And after going through a few worlds, these participants still didn't change their understanding. If they were strong enough, it would be fine, but the key was that they weren't strong enough, and yet they still did some messy things. In other people's eyes, it was strange if they didn't have a problem with their brains. (To be continued.)
PS:
Today, they finally finished mending the glass glue. The entire balcony was made of glass frames and floor-to-ceiling windows. If one looked closely, one could see the outside through the gaps. They hadn't noticed before, but when they were cleaning yesterday, they found that they had been forcefully turned over. There were water stains and rust on the surface of the frame. Fortunately, it was on the first floor. If it was higher up, Yi Zui really wouldn't know how to mend the outside.
