There were bursts of gunfire outside, and the guards at the other gates were mobilized and began to move toward the north gate.
The soldiers who had dispersed to take a shower were also called up again.
Waves of urgent rally calls sounded, but at this moment, with heavy rain and lightning and thunder, it was difficult for anyone to hear the rally call.
There was chaos inside and outside the base, and some soldiers even ran out shirtless.
Xie Jinshan, on the other hand, was reluctant to part with the octopus he had raised, so he ordered people to search outside.
Tang Zheng and the other base leaders were naturally not the target of his orders. Seeing this scene, some people were watching the excitement, while others wanted to leave.
The first person to leave was Jonathan from the International Base.
Although it was raining heavily outside, there were foreign mercenaries making trouble at the moment. Although Jonathan had a clear conscience, he couldn't stand the strange looks from everyone. He felt uncomfortable staying no matter what, so he simply said goodbye and left.
It's just a matter of going home in spite of the rain. It's safer when it rains.
As soon as Jonathan left, Yong Linling also turned around and left.
He and Xie Jinshan had the same status, and they didn't even say hello.
Tang Zheng took this opportunity and said goodbye directly.
Xie Jinshan had no intention of greeting everyone at the moment: "Whoever wants to leave can leave. If you don't want to leave, you can stay for dinner, but we don't stay here."
Upon hearing this, most of the people present dispersed.
Tang Zheng and his group quickly walked down the stairs. In the process, they surpassed Yong Linling's people and Jonathan's people, and were the first to leave the headquarters building.
As soon as he and Guo Yun came out, Ji Yuntian and Wu Di came over to greet them.
"General, most of the defenders at the south gate have just been mobilized. Only the sentries on the watchtower are still there."
"I saw an octopus swimming in the river. It is currently swimming towards the south gate. We have to get close as soon as possible, but the general should quickly think of a way to take the octopus away. That guy is not that big now.
Small."
Several people walked and talked in the rain, quickly running towards the south gate.
Tang Zheng also spoke quickly: "Ask the soldiers to vacate a truck. Didn't they bring canvas with them when they came? Just spread the canvas in the car. With such a heavy rain, water will accumulate in the canvas quickly. It's just right
Let the octopus get in the car, it will be fine if it stays on the shore for a while."
"Okay, I'll notify Luo Fei and the others immediately."
Wu Di picked up the walkie-talkie and quickly sent a message to Luo Fei and the others.
Tang Zheng and the others jogged on the street, all the way to the entrance of the registration office, and got into their off-road vehicle.
The car started and went straight to the south gate.
All the vendors setting up stalls have now dispersed, the streets are empty, and the cars are moving very fast.
After leaving the university base and walking a few hundred meters, you are heading towards the bridge.
Ji Yuntian took out his silent pistol, raised his hand and fired at the sentry on the sentry tower.
The sentry never expected that the attack would come from behind. He was shot down and lay on the sentry tower not knowing whether to live or die.
As soon as the sentry fell, a large truck appeared from the hiding place in the front corner and drove quickly to the bridge.
There was a splashing sound, and a large octopus, more than five meters long including its tentacles, rushed out of the river.
Seeing Tang Zheng approaching, the big octopus crawled over excitedly and spit out a bubble, which almost enveloped Tang Zheng.
"Okay, okay, get in the car obediently, we are short on time, let's go!"
Tang Zheng touched one of the octopus's tentacles. The huge sucker was covered with mucus.
The octopus also understood and used its eight long legs to get into the truck compartment quickly.
Sitting cross-legged in the carriage, his head bigger than a water tank was exposed.
"Go quickly!"
The truck started and sped away in the rain.
At this time, the people looking for the octopus had already come out of the south gate.
Tang Zheng didn't care so much, and immediately jumped into the car, started the Hercules off-road vehicle, and plunged into the heavy rain.
Those who were tracking had a police dog in their hands, and the dog followed the scent and ran along the creek.
But the heavy rain somewhat blocked its perception, and it didn't come that fast.
When these people exited the south gate, they could only vaguely see a truck and a jeep driving away.
Before they could react, other leaders who had left the city also came out.
Jonathan, Yong Linling, these are arrogant masters, driving out of the city quickly.
The person who was chasing the octopus couldn't tell who was who, so he could only continue the pursuit in frustration, and finally stopped at the bridgehead.
"The police dogs were spinning in circles. It seemed that the octopus disappeared here instead of continuing downstream along the river."
"No, octopus is an aquatic animal after all. It cannot stay on land for too long. Did someone take it away?"
"Now it seems that this is most likely the case, but I also wonder, are there really such boring people? Could it be that they are crazy about grilled squid?"
"Unfortunately, the rain was so heavy that we didn't see the situation clearly outside. We only saw the outline of a jeep and a truck. We didn't know much about the rest of the information and couldn't make an accurate judgment."
"By the way, isn't there a sentry here? Go ask the sentry."
Someone climbed up the sentry tower and immediately screamed.
"No! The sentry has been killed!"
The leader of the tracking pondered for a moment: "I feel that this matter is not that simple. The mercenaries attacked, the guards here were transferred, the octopus suddenly ran out, and there are still people here to respond. If there is no mastermind behind this, I can't
If you believe it, we will report it to the Speaker immediately."
They did not stop here and immediately returned to headquarters.
At this time, the headquarters was still in chaos.
The scattered soldiers were reorganized and mobilized their troops to fight towards the north gate.
The mercenaries who attacked the headquarters fired fiercely for a while. When they saw the large troops coming, they actually turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Those people were driving some military vehicles, they were very fast, and it was raining heavily, so they quickly disappeared into the vast curtain of rain.
"Damn it! These foreigners are sick!"
The officers who were chasing him saw the mess outside the north gate and couldn't help but cursed.
"I just heard those foreigners shouting. Did you hear what they said?"
"It seems...it seems that the umbrella mercenaries should withdraw immediately."
"Umbrella of protection...? I remember you bastards, and I will make it difficult for you to protect yourself in the future."
The pursuing officer returned angrily.
Ten minutes later, the officers chasing the mercenaries and the people chasing the octopus were all standing in Xie Jinshan's office.
After hearing the reports from his subordinates on both sides, Xie Jinshan's mind was spinning rapidly.
This thing is too suspicious.
Foreign mercenaries attacked the base just after the exercise troops dispersed. If there was no internal response, it would be impossible.
It is impossible for the octopus to suddenly grow in size and break through the window to leave. Someone should have tampered with it here.
And this person who did the tricks was probably the person who colluded with foreign mercenaries and killed his own sentry.
Who could it be?
It should be one of those foreign base leaders.
Xie Jinshan fell into memories.
A total of three people have come into contact with octopuses.
They are Yong Linling, Jonathan and a leader of Tang Zheng.
The octopus that Yong Linling first came into contact with had always been dissatisfied with him and wanted to replace him, and Xie Jinshan knew that.
So he has the motive to cause trouble.
By the way, the person who killed the sentry should also be the one who left the base first, and the three people who left first happened to be the three of them.
Yong Linling is suspected, and the suspicion is very high.
Where is Jonathan?
Jonathan was the second octopus to come into contact with, and was the first to leave.
Moreover, their international base is very likely to be behind the scenes of foreign mercenaries, which Xie Jinshan is also very suspicious of.
Jonathan is also very suspicious.
As for that Tang Zheng?
Xie Jinshan had someone send Tang Zheng's information, which was all registered today.
Chasing Light City...is located in a ravine?
There are three hundred armed men, but only a hundred survivors?
What the hell is all this?
Xie Jinshan glanced at it twice and threw the information aside.
If the suspicion is divided according to percentages, Yong Linling's suspicion is 49%, Jonathan is also 49%, and Tang Zheng is only 2%.
How could the leader of a small base collude with foreign mercenaries, and how could he go to such trouble to get an octopus to escape?
Xie Jinshan couldn't think of a reason for him to do this.
Of course, this does not mean that Xie Jinshan will not investigate.
It's just that this matter is not very glorious and is not suitable for a high-profile investigation.
It just so happens that in a few days Lian Na and the others will go down to verify the situation of the bases and collect taxes, so let her confirm the true situation of these bases.
When the time comes, whether it is Yong Linling or Jonathan, he will let them know that the dignity of the alliance cannot be offended, and those who offend must pay the price.
...
In the pouring rain, Tang Zheng's vehicle was moving quickly on the road.
The off-road vehicle was following behind the truck. Tang Zheng was sitting in the passenger seat, watching the big octopus peeking out of the car from time to time and blinking at himself.
This is about wanting to interact with yourself.
On a whim, Tang Zheng raised his hands and interacted with the octopus.
The octopus immediately stretched out its two tentacles and followed Tang Zheng's hands.
Tang Zheng crossed his hands back and forth and moved them quickly.
The octopus moves faster, waving its long tentacles, and has a great time playing.
Tang Zheng suddenly stopped and retracted his hands.
The octopus also stopped, but the two tentacles in front were tied together in a knot.
Seeing the confused look of the octopus, Tang Zheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Everyone in the car couldn't help but turn away when they saw the general's mischievous appearance.
The octopus twitched hard, and its slippery tentacles were untied.
puff!
A bubble spit out and got stuck on Tang Zheng's car glass.
Tang Zheng instinctively leaned back and was startled.
This one, several soldiers in the car who had been strictly trained not to laugh no matter how funny it was, also laughed.
