Chapter XXVI: The Captive

A figure came running quickly.

It's Nora.

Standing beside Renault, she looked up at the sky, looked at the spaceship that was flying into space with a huge flame tail, and said leisurely, "You're soft, aren't you?" ”

Renault put away his gun and turned to leave: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"I have here a list of the San Diego family, and I found a familiar name, a familiar face, but I didn't find her among the hostages." Nora replied.

Renault paused in his footsteps and finally said, "There are a lot of bullets here...... I tried my best. ”

Nora took a few steps forward, picking up a bullet and looking closely.

Her face became solemn: "These bullets ...... Was it impacted like this? ”

She looked back at Renault in disbelief.

Renault nodded: "It should be similar to Eagle Eye, which can capture dynamic things and react quickly, but the cost is also very large." ”

"If she's not used it to shoot bullets...... "She's shown mercy to your men." ”

Renault shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak.

Antonia showed mercy to his men, and so did he, and in this matter, no one owed anyone.

"But we've lost our servants." Nora sighed.

"Don't worry, we'll get it back." Renault said.

Nora said: "You mean ......"

"Let's go to Condon." Renault replied, "Santiago is a big family, and it's not easy to deal with, but it's also easy to find. ”

Condon Planet, the home base of the San Diego family, almost the entire planet can be said to be the private property of the San Diego family. Since the servant was taken away, he would definitely not go anywhere else.

"Santiago isn't easy to deal with, it's a behemoth."

"It won't be any harder to deal with than the new federal government." Renault replied.

After thinking about it, Renault said, "But before that, I just want to borrow her to lead another trouble." ”

He turned on the terminal and said, "Hey, Stephanie. ”

"What's the matter?" From the other side of the terminal came the Batgirl's angry roar, "If you're here to laugh at me, you've succeeded, but I'm not going to let go!" ”

"Just wanted to tell you that what we wanted has been taken." Renault replied.

"What?" Stephanie froze, her eyes lit up, and she understood: "Is it the spaceship that flew away just now?" ”

"Before it flies far, you still have a chance to catch up." Renault replied slowly.

"Why should I trust you? Maybe you're deliberately lying to me? ”

"Ike, send the information I just fought to Ms. Stephanie." Renault ordered, and then closed the terminal.

He didn't say anything more, and there was no point in saying anything more, believing that the battle information would make the vampire queen understand.

Of course, because Renault deliberately slowed down to remind them, cyborgs would definitely not be able to catch up with Antonia. That's exactly what Renault needs, he just needs the cyborgs to leave, but he doesn't want them to grab the Servant - let them get it, he has nowhere to find them.

Soon, the gunboats in the sky began to turn and chase after Antonia's ship.

"It's like a pack of dogs, where you run your bones, they run away." Nora said dismissively.

"Don't do that, Nora, they're just a bunch of poor people." Renaud sighed and walked towards the institute.

The battle was over, but there was a lot of finishing work to be done - a lot of cutting-edge equipment had to be removed, prisoners had to be disposed of, and information had to be collected.

In the past, as a pure soldier, Renault only had to think about how to destroy, but now that he has become the leader of an organization, he has to think more about how to build.

All the captives had been gathered in a large hall.

Fernand and Daniel were also there.

When Renault arrived in the hall, the men were all looking ashen, their faces full of worry about their future fate.

They didn't know what Renault was going to do to them.

Is it to let them go? Or kill them? Or something else?

Some even sobbed quietly because of this.

Renault came over at this moment, and he stood on the stage, looking at the crowd condescendingly, and did not speak.

It wasn't until the sobbing gradually stopped, everyone looked at Renault, and the originally noisy atmosphere gradually became deathly silent, that Renault finally spoke.

He said:

"You are all my captives, and I decide your fate."

"I'm not going to kill you, but I'm not going to just let you go."

"Before announcing what will happen to you, I want you to know who we are."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the big screen showed a photo of the soldiers being treated injustice in the hospital and a detailed account of the Freedom Heart incident.

Looking at the photos, looking at the shocking words on them, and learning what happened to Renault and the others, the captives whispered and had some sympathy for this group of people.

Reynaud continued: "As you can see, we are a group of people who have been abandoned by the state, and we have fought valiantly in exchange for the fate of becoming lambs! We must not accept such an outcome, so we have to declare war on this government! We want them to know that valiant soldiers never deserve to be treated like this! They must pay for their actions! ”

"But what does this have to do with us?" One of the captives asked.

"Of course it does." Renault replied: "We want to let the public know what has happened to us." But every time we put this information on the Internet, the content will quickly disappear as soon as it comes out. They tried to cover everything and brand them as wanted criminals for treason! So we're going to fight! ”

He looked at everyone, walked a few steps, and then said: "The Tianhe Fourth Research Institute is the most important research institute of the new federal government, and the people who can appear here are the elites of human society, either genius scientists or successful businessmen. I am sure that your capture will definitely put pressure on the federal government. ”

Someone finally understood what Renault meant, and said with a pale face: "You want to use us to force the federal government to admit what they did?" ”

"Yes." Renault replied.

"There's no way they'll agree!" Someone shouted. These people know too well how much damage this kind of scandal will cause to the government if it gets out, and they will not agree to it, no matter how important the prisoners here are.

Renault replied coldly: "Then I will arrest more people until they agree." ”

Everyone was desperate at the same time.

Doesn't that mean they will never be able to leave?

"Of course, you can rest assured that as long as you don't make trouble, you will all be treated well with me. I mean, I'm not going to mistreat prisoners. Renault added with a smile.

Then he waved his hand and asked everyone to escort them down.

The next thing is to wait for the Abrodius, as long as the Tianhe fleet is done, these people will be theirs.

"I don't understand, sir." Tycos walked over and asked, "Are you really going to force the federal government to bow down in this way?" ”

Renaud gave him a strange look: "How is this possible, Tycos, I never expected it." ”

"Then why did you do that." Tycos was completely confused.

Renault whispered: "Because we need people, especially talent." Here is the Tianhe Fourth Research Institute, and even the most ordinary researchers here are well-known scientists outside, and they are a huge fortune. We can't just focus on the device, people are more valuable than the device! ”

Tycos suddenly realized: "So you are making excuses! ”

"Yes, it's just an excuse, an excuse to detain them." Renault replied: "We need an excuse to keep these people, and it will definitely not work to just say that they will serve us, they will all kinds of sabotage, protest, and even revolt." We need a plausible excuse that allows us to keep them and at the same time give them hope that, when that expectation is shattered, we can blame the federal government. ”

"I see." Not only did Tekos nod his head again and again, but even the virus Modica Mela on the other side of the terminal listened to it in amazement.

"But they're just captives, so how can we make them serve us?" Virus asked.

"It's because they're captives that they're trying to find an opportunity to serve us." Reynaud replied: "Isn't that what a captive should pursue to improve his living conditions through labor?" ”

Everybody understands.

Wang Yile muttered: "In this way, we can't give them too good treatment in the future." ”

"Yes, let them understand that being captives is destined to be impossible to be treated well, but as the elite of society, they can change all this through their own efforts. With a heart that never gives up, they can work miracles! Renault said:

"And what we have to do is give them enough opportunities to create miracles."
