Both Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing are very aware of the dangerous situation here. Although Xie Hong's soldiers are numerous this time, they are awakened people, mobile armors, and Yuanhua equipment, but they do not have high-end combat power like Miao Pu.
Sitting in command, the "light" of the Desolate Gods was enough to kill these people and stop them from moving forward.
So the two of them stood up immediately. They would rather offend Xie Hongjun than interrupt his task assignment, saying that they had important matters that needed to be discussed in private.
Jiang Shangqing lobbied Xie Hongjun and explained the importance of Miao Pu, while Kang Danian worked for Miao Pu and persuaded him.
Kang Danian mainly elaborated on two points:
I said they were evacuating and resting, but in fact they were evacuating without leaving. No matter how stupid they were on the summit, they would not send them directly back to the shelter at this time. At most, they would retreat to the No. D or E passages that had just been designated as second-line areas to rest.
2 According to the current situation between the enemy and ourselves, these people, especially Miao Pu, still have a good chance to participate in front-line operations again.
To sum up, think of it as a rest, and the entire team really needs a rest.
Before this, Miao Pu had indeed had the idea of "you take the Yangguan Road, I will cross the single-plank bridge", not to mention that he had already had this idea of running a single gang, and this time he just borrowed the donkey. But Kang Danian's words, let
He hesitated again.
A thoughtful person like Miao Pu often thinks more when doing one thing. For example, his own identity is not a free hunter, but an officer.
Things like disobeying orders or acting without authorization.
For another example, the more things he experiences, the more he realizes the importance of the team. In fact, he can always have the last laugh in high-risk incidents because of his ability, which is actually a miniature team.
His bursts are average, and his upper limit of abilities is lower than other awakened beings of the same level. When it comes to ability control and skills, there are many who are better than him. In terms of endurance, Yuan Shou or Quasi Yuan Shou is better than him.
He is not much different, but why are those people not as good as him? Because he has no fatal shortcomings. He is a circle himself, capable of carrying and fighting, with attack, assistance, healing, and some means of melee and long range attacks. Precisely because
He truly understands that the power of a team is better than fighting alone, and he always tries his best to save his teammates. This is not just a matter of conscience.
This time, he is more inclined to act as a group rather than to save people alone. He has already tasted and experienced the feeling of having all the great achievements in one hand, as well as the pros and cons. To be honest, he does not feel the need to do it again.
once.
In addition, what Kang Danian said made some sense, so Miao Pu did not act arrogant and arrogant as Kang Danian thought. Instead, he listened to Jin's advice and agreed to Kang Danian's suggestion to wait and see for the time being.
On the other side, although Jiang Shangqing was better at negotiating than Kang Danian, Xie Hongjun was very decisive and did not invade.
Of course Xie Hongjun knew who Miao Pu was, and he knew it better than Kang Danian and others, but as Guo Yang said, there are many awakened people who can't stand the world's number one Yuan Shou.
Yes, Xie Hongjun is exactly one of them.
As an important member of the Dove faction's combat force, Xie Hongjun is no worse than Xu Lingfeng in terms of status, whether within the faction, the organization, or the circle. What he dislikes most about Miao Pu is
The matter of killing all the Eagle Youth League. He felt that Miao Pu's choice reflected several important shortcomings of this person: emotional, selfish, and narrow vision.
When Xie Hongjun talked about Miao Pu with his friends, he once commented: "That is an immature person. This kind of person is absolutely possible for his own selfishness regardless of the cost. What is even more frightening is that this person has powerful abilities.
This is precisely the misfortune of others."
To be honest, Xie Hongjun's evaluation is not unfair to Miao Pu. Looking at Miao Pu's past, there is indeed a suspicion of being emotional. Although it is not extreme, in Xie Hongjun's opinion, it is just that Miao Pu currently has few resources. He is
From the bottom of his heart, he believed that Miao Pu was the kind of person who would risk everything for a moment's glory. In addition, Xie Hongjun also believed that Miao Pu was a bad star. Wherever he appeared, nothing good would happen, or at least there would be casualties.
With such a prejudice, Xie Hongjun never thought of letting Miao Pu participate in the operation commanded by him from the beginning.
Therefore, in response to Jiang Shangqing's persuasion, he only had one answer: "Lao Jiang, without Butcher Zhang, we must eat pigs with hair on them?"
Jiang Shangqing was speechless.
Kang Danian left the research institute and retreated to the Material Distribution Center in Channel D to rest. Near the platform, he met a group of female majors who had come from the agricultural reclamation station.
Miao Pu didn't pay any attention to the female major. He said straight to the point: "Not only is the jungle over there at the farm reclamation station strange, but there are also creatures moving inside. If I were you, I wouldn't let down my guard.
"Don't worry, dozens of elite combat forces are guarding it, and the researchers won't set foot in the jungle, and there won't be any serious problems."
Miao Pu didn't say anything after hearing this. After Jiang Shangqing exchanged some useless nonsense with him, the two teams went their separate ways. Jiang Shangqing, who was walking at the end of the team, turned around and glanced at the person who had withered away from his energy.
Yu Cheng's heart of thorns sighed secretly and thought to himself: "Xie Hongjun is considered a capable person. I hope he can succeed..."
Xie Hongjun is indeed not comparable to Bu Ji. He is also very arrogant, but he will not forget about it. He called the female major Yu Haojun to come, just to ask her to sit in the center and stabilize the rear, and then he would personally go to the front line to command the operation.
Xie Hongjun did not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly just because he had enough manpower. The first order he issued was to once again conduct a comprehensive cleanup of the entire research institute.
This cleaning operation was divided into three groups. Luke and Shen Xin served as guides and led the team to clean the B and B floors. He personally led the team to clean the A floor. And this time, they sealed the sewage access openings and then started from there.
The sewage master entered from the terminal at the end of the road and conducted a comprehensive cleanup of the frog monsters inside.
However, Xie Hongjun could not think of any good way to eradicate the water purification system. Those roots are extremely tough, have extremely strong regeneration capabilities, and are numerous in number. According to preliminary estimates, even if they are removed in sections at the same time, it will take at least a week.
To achieve certain results, the premise is that those roots cannot always guarantee the current crazy regeneration ability.
After some thought, Xie Hongjun decided to put it aside for the time being. His understanding of these roots was roughly the same as that of Miao Pu and others before him. He felt that although this thing caused a lot of inconvenience, they were not the only ones affected by it.
There are also monsters. Although this third party treats both pros and cons equally, although it is harmful, it cannot be prioritized for elimination.
But what about actually?
"In fact, this is probably a misunderstanding caused by common sense, and it may even be suspected of subconsciously avoiding difficulties."
When Miao Pu said this, he was already at the material distribution center.
From the first line to the second line, even if you are still in a dangerous situation, your mentality will change to some extent. The tense emotions will be relieved, and there will be no phased task goals that need to be completed as soon as possible. The pressure will be greatly reduced, and you can think calmly. In such a situation
Under such circumstances, Miao Pu went through what happened in the past and naturally discovered some problems.
In fact, I realized that those roots and downy energy-absorbing plants all over the area were a major hidden danger, and they did not appear just now.
When I was in the research institute, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but just when I was about to follow this line of thinking, I was interrupted by Guo Yang's sudden arrival.
"Whether it is the outer ring or the inner ring, the argument that this special power-deficient environment is suitable for ordinary people to display their combat effectiveness is wrong. This has been proven. Because every monster we encounter can
It’s said to be a monster that has circumvented environmental factors.”
Kang Danian and Jiang Shang both nodded after hearing this.
Indeed, whether they are blue-blood monsters, fire-breathing monsters, fire claw monsters or frog monsters, their abilities are obviously different from ordinary monsters in the surface world. The impact of the environment lacking alien energy on them is very small, if at all.
"Just at this point, the balance has been broken."
Jiang Shangqing said: "It was broken, but we all know that the real threatening enemy is actually the Desolate Gods."
"That's right, but we shouldn't firmly believe that the members of the Aragami are also subject to environmental influences like us. They took action before us, but for how long, who can confirm? What if the origin crisis broke out?
Didn't action begin soon after?"
Kang Danian frowned and said: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible. Until the 45th day after the disaster, we still maintained control over 8% of the area here.
Miao Pu raised a question: "This is wrong, the time does not match up. The earliest rescue operation my friend participated in was definitely earlier than this time."
Jiang Shangqing added: "There is a major loophole here. Each research institute has its own online and unified information. The possibility of concealment cannot be ruled out."
Kang Danian pondered for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be on this kind of issue..." He couldn't go on anymore. As the executors of the rescue operation, they also filled in a lot of relevant information just before the operation was about to start.
How can there be time to analyze and figure out each item? What's more, this kind of content that doesn't seem to have much impact on the action is just brushed aside.
And based on the consistent ethics of the organization, the possibility of concealment is really high, and the concealment is done layer by layer. Those below want to keep the lid on, but those above do not allow others to know the true situation in their control areas.
Everyone is not stupid. It is already clear to this extent. Jiang Shangqing said: "We need to remind Xie Hongjun that this hidden danger must be taken seriously.
Kang Danian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact them now." But as soon as he took two steps, Kang Danian seemed to have thought of something and asked, "I think it's better to report this situation to the superior."
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Shangqing agreed with Kang Danian's idea. He also knew the importance of obtaining support from his superiors. For such a big hidden danger, the general headquarters should be notified as soon as possible.
However, when Kangdanian used the wired communication system, the system malfunctioned, making it impossible to connect to the research institute or the farming station.
In this kind of place and this kind of situation, no one would think that this was an accident. There might be only one thing that comes to mind right away: the line is damaged.
"Damn it, how could it be such a coincidence?" Kang Danian looked angry.
Jiang Shangqing touched his chin and said calmly: "We also had doubts before. We were waiting for help in the research institute, which may be exactly what Guo Yang wanted. Now we might as well make this guess a little bolder, our enemies have already mastered the environment.
It constantly creates troubles, disrupts the rhythm of our actions, and makes us focus on one thing at the expense of the other.”
Miao Pu added: "The ubiquitous energy-absorbing plants may be a means for them to control the environment."
"We have to fight back." Kang Danian said.
Jiang Shangqing immediately responded: "I agree, but we have to be prepared, and we have to report this matter to our superiors."
Miao Pu frowned and said: "At this time, how can you still have time to report to the superiors?"
"No, it must be reported to the top. Because we need authorization from above. Without authorization, as a rest unit, the manpower we can use and what we can do are very limited."
Jiang Shangqing's words caused Miao Pu to fall into deep thought for a short time.
It is true that generals are not given orders by the emperor, but the problem is that they are not generals at all. The highest commander of the entire operation now is Xie Hongjun. Which one should I choose, persuading Xie Hongjun or getting orders from the headquarters?
Neither one is easy to achieve, and the latter seems to be more troublesome and difficult. But the problem is that if the latter is achieved, constraints can be eliminated to a certain extent, instead of having to discuss and coordinate everything with Xie Hongjun and obtain his consent.
can do.
Miao Pu suddenly remembered that he had a privilege. This privilege was one of the country's rewards for his special contribution. In an emergency, he could mobilize local troops to cooperate with his actions.
But when Jiang Shangqing heard this, he shook his head and said: "What you can call are only regular troops. We are all special forces. Although we are organized in the military headquarters, they are just empty titles for convenience. Even the General Staff can't call us.
"
This news made Miao Pu a little discouraged. He couldn't mobilize it when needed, and he couldn't use it if he could mobilize it. Isn't this useless?
Kang Danian seemed to notice Miao Pu's depression and comforted him softly: "We have temporarily held this kind of privilege, mainly for ordinary events such as disaster relief."
In fact, Feng Jianguo also explained to Miao Pu at the beginning that privileges are relative, and people from the Central Security Bureau cannot be transferred just based on a privilege order. Wouldn't that lead to chaos in the world?
But at this moment, Miao Pu was a little sick and rushed to seek medical treatment. He said: "I have a bad feeling. If we continue to send blood food to the enemy, there will be big problems."
"You mean..."
"That's right, you can't see people alive, you can't see corpses after death, and there is no blood at the battle scene, which is cleaner than being licked by a dog." Miao Pu changed the subject and added: "Also, if we are really being led by the enemy,
If the nose goes away, then I think I have to get out of the box in order to break the rhythm and reverse the passivity."
"So, how do you break the rhythm?" Kang Danian asked.
"Under normal circumstances, what should we do now? Check the lines, restore communications, go to the agricultural reclamation station to confirm the situation, and notify Xie Hongjun to take action step by step."
"Well, that's right."
"But I want to start anew." Miao Pu further explained: "I assume that the first 2% area that was out of control is the same area that the first rescue team targeted. This area is the entry point. I want to see
Let’s see what’s going on there.”
"Hiss..." Jiang Shangqing inhaled unconsciously. This was indeed a choice that went out of the box. "Is this why you need higher authority?"
"right."
By now, Kang Danian, Jiang Shangqing and others already know that Miao Pu is the all-powerful number one in the world, and [大二八] is just a code name he borrowed. In this way, Miao Pu's words will undoubtedly carry more weight than before.
A little heavier.
Jiang Shangqing also understood that Xie Hongjun and Bu Ji were basically the same. Even if they were stronger, they were only in terms of ability, but they were not much better than Bu Ji in judging fundamental issues. In such a situation, the only way to keep fighting is to be in the first place.
They are the best action commanders on the front lines. Of course, this is under the premise of having Miao Pu as a staff member and as a thug.
"Then what if someone is guilty of disobedience?" Kang Danian suddenly said in a low tone.
When Jiang Shangqing saw Kang Danian suddenly saying such words, he already understood what he was thinking. After all, they had been partners for many years and had a tacit understanding on many things.
"Wait a minute, you are not the only leader in this team, I also have a role, and I also do ideological work," Jiang Shangqing said quickly.
"Lao Jiang, what do you mean? Come on," Kang Danian directly interrupted Jiang Shangqing's words.
"I mean, I'm the one who's going crazy. I have to bear half of the blame for disobeying orders, otherwise the higher-ups will think I didn't do my job well." Jiang Shangqing also had a rare moment of humor.
"Haha, good brother, just go crazy for once, this action is almost suffocating people to death." Kang Danian said emotionally.
As an old partner, Jiang Shangqing saw Kang Danian's thoughts. Kang Danian planned to bring someone to accompany Miao Pu crazy.
To be honest, Miao Pu liked this kind of emotional expression between the elders, just like the stories his grandfather always told him, it made his blood boil. However, this kind of appreciation and respect for Miao Pu was not shown on his face.
Instead, he walked away silently. It was not that Miao Pu wanted to be cool, but that he felt that he was a redundant light bulb at this time. Jiang Shangqing and Kang Danian had already made the greatest sacrifice for his ideas, and they should
Need a little private space.
Soon after, Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing found Miao Pu and said directly: "Everyone is spending a lot of money now, and we really need to rest. It is also important to find out the communication failure situation. This is the responsibility of the troops stationed here.
We can just go with the flow and let him bring our speculations to Xie Hongjun. What we mean is, let’s take a look, we need to rest anyway.”
Jiang Shangqing looked at his watch and said: "It's 2 o'clock now. Even if it's 2 o'clock, Uj time is limited. The latest is 4 o'clock in the morning. If the situation does not satisfy us, we will take action."
Kang Danian nodded and looked at Miao Pu.
At this time, Miao Pu has become the person Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing need to consult. After all, Miao Pu is a well-known person, and he has also served as the captain. Although he is only the acting captain, his team's record is on the top
There, not to mention that the rumors will always be exaggerated. In the eyes of many people, Miao Pu is a talented man with great military exploits. He led a legendary team and disappeared after the mission...
Miao Pu thought for a while and realized that more than an hour would be enough for him to recover his powers. However, considering the situation of others, he said directly: "Okay, that's it."
