Volume I, Chapter 61: Special Investigation Mission

Chitaki burrowed into the gap, then moved away from the area, and then the buried mech cockpit closed and exploded with a thud.

In less than a few minutes, five or six mechs rushed in from different directions.

"Chromie!" Milo shouted anxiously in the communication channel.

The communication channel was so quiet that Milo couldn't help but feel excited, and after a long time, Chromie's voice rang out.

"It's okay, don't be so loud."

Milo was suddenly furious, "Who let you go deep alone?" ”

Chromie was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and said, "I don't feel like I'm feeling very good, and my head hurts a little." ”

"Really? Then you'll press a little more under the rubble. Milo said coldly.

"Don't!" Chromie was also panicked, and Milo could really do what he said.

"Captain, are you alright?" The rest of the team also rushed over at this time.

"It's okay, hurry, there's a companion down there." Chromie seemed to have just remembered something.

"Brother, are you alright?" Chromie shouted from within the public communication channel.

Seeing the situation, Milo also drove the mecha up to help clean up the collapsed metal wall, and not long after, I saw Milo driving the mecha and reaching out to hold Chromie's mecha arm, and began to drag it out.

The other companions who arrived also cleared the ruins on the other side.

"Captain, this mech is scrapped."

"Check it to see if you're still saved." Chromie was also stunned and hurriedly shouted.

I saw a mecha reach out and grab the outside of the mecha cockpit and start forcibly breaking it open.

"Click, click."

Since this mecha itself is badly damaged, it seems to have exploded, so the difficulty is not very high.

Tear open the exterior armor of the cockpit and throw it aside.

"How?" Chromie asked.

"The cab is empty." One of the team members shouted in dismay.

"How is it possible, is it to abandon the mecha?" Chromie muttered to himself, wondering why he felt weirder and weirder.

"What's wrong?" Milo asked, driving the mech.

"No, I just feel like something is wrong." Chromie shook his head and said.

Milo also sensed that Chromie was not in the right state, and said, "I can't figure it out, let's continue to clean up the remaining Qijuzi, the reinforcements from Area D have arrived." ”

"Keep searching for Qijuzi and the survivors." Chromie nodded, only to ignore the matter for now.

Chitaki rested in a corner at this time, waiting for the search and rescue to end.

Phantom said, "Three light mechs have been detected approaching you. ”

Chitaki nodded.

Three hours later, Chitaki and the rest of the survivors were assigned to the Hipbony's quarantine area, where all asteroid operations and guards were to be inspected due to Kijuko's head-on invasion of the asteroid.

Chitaki also saw in the queue that Aina and Jones, the two of them managed to survive.

Jones also waved to Chitaki.

According to statistics: a total of 10,000 operators on the asteroid, don't think it's very little, this is already a very terrifying number, you must know that the population of the Hiboni is only more than 20 million, including 1,000 collectors who assist in the operation, 3,000 skilled workers, 500 mechanics, 2,000 logistics personnel, 500 management, and 3,000 guards.

At this time, the number of survivors was only 3,210, of which 650 were seriously injured and 1,205 were lightly injured.

In fact, even Chitaki didn't figure out why the other party would invade so well and not be discovered.

In fact, it's not just Chitaki who didn't figure out what happened, but the general in charge of the defense plan this time is still in a veil, and he doesn't know what happened at all.

In the captain's command room of the Hibony, a group of men in black suits and sunglasses walked in with a cold face and saluted everyone.

"We are the FTC's Special Investigations Division, and we have been commissioned by the council to investigate this incident, so please come with us by name."

Note: The FTC (the highest department under the Council of Hiboni) is responsible for investigating all anomalies, dereliction of duty, and malfeasance, and has strong powers. )

"Major General Amante, commander of the asteroid defense force."

The corners of the mouth of an old middle-aged man standing behind him were trembling, and several people from the FTC department went up and made a direct gesture to him.

"The third monitoring team responsible for vigilance and monitoring, a total of seven people."

I saw that the seven lieutenants who were now in charge of monitoring were also looking at each other in shock.

Lan Li was also stunned, and was about to stand up and say something, when she saw a calm and powerful hand pressing on her shoulder.

"We are soldiers, and within a reasonable range, obeying orders and cooperating with all investigations is the basic norm."

"But."

"Since the FTC has called for an investigation, it must have been derelict in its own duties, even if it does a good job, or contributes after the fact, it still needs to be investigated."

Lan Li fell silent and nodded.

On the other side, in the quarantine area, there was a commotion among the people who were being examined.

Chitaki looked over curiously, only to see a man in a black suit and sunglasses clash with a group of guards who were undergoing a physical examination.

"We were ordered to bring Second Lieutenant Chelsea back for questioning."

"Fart, what's there to ask, we finally managed to defeat Qi Juzi in the attack and survive, you have to take our captain now."

"Be careful with your words and cooperate with our work."

"Why can't I see you guys when you're fighting, and you pop up one by one faster than anyone else afterwards." The Chelsea players roared angrily.

Chelsea grabbed their players and yelled, "That's enough, give me all some points." ”

"Captain." Bow your head around the team.

Chelsea pulled the collar from his neck and stepped forward.

"I'll go with you."

Chitaki looked around, and he found that there were quite a few people who had been taken away, most of them were captains of the guards.

What the hell is this?

"Don't look." Aina appeared behind Chitaki and spoke.

Chitaki also turned around and saw that it was Aina, so she spoke.

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine."

"What's going on over there?"

"The post-mortem investigation, although it may seem unkind, is unavoidable, because if the cause of the attack cannot be found, it is a great threat to the safety of the Hiboni." Aina explained.

"If that's all it takes, shouldn't it be so repulsive?" Chitaki said.

"Those people in black clothes are from the FTC department, and they have a very bad reputation, and many people who went in never came out." Aina explained.

"I see." Chitaki nodded.

Inside the asteroid, in the storage room, Chromie and a group of subordinates crouched to examine the dead bodies,
