Frost Star.

Before dawn, Ned was already sitting in his office. Although the armies of the chaotic races on this planet have largely dispersed, the work of the base has not been much lightened by this. There's still a lot of work to be done, such as reclaiming the Snow Crystal Associated Mine from the planet's natives, cleaning up the remaining Cato soldiers, and repairing the base. As the director of the base, Ned has a lot more to do than an average soldier.

When the short day finally came, the shouts of soldiers training sounded in the large playground of the base. Ned stood up and stretched his already stiff body when the adjutant brought a cup of coffee, "You should rest, sir." ”

"Now is not the time to relax, my friend." Ned smiled, "Those Cato chops are gone, but we still have a lot of work to do. Look here, there are at least three more mines to be recaptured. But damn it, after Mr. Allen and the others left, our small base was obviously understaffed. If you want to recapture these three crystal mines, you can't do it for a month. ”

"Sir, I don't think the crystal mine will grow legs, it will always be there. As for headhunters, have you ever seen them exploit them over the years? As far as I know, there shouldn't be, so how many snow crystals there should be, and how many there will be. It's only a matter of time before you recapture the ore, so you might as well focus on other things first. The adjutant smiled.

Ned tapped his finger at him and smiled, "If you have anything to say, just say it, you don't need to go around in such a big circle." ”

"Well, it was old Locke who asked me to come here. Some of the vehicle parts in the maintenance room are already seriously short of parts, and he wants you to go over and see for yourself, so that you can report a batch of new parts to the headquarters as soon as possible. ”

"There's such a thing." Ned frowned, the chariot is an indispensable combat tool for the base. After the last war, many of them were damaged and scrapped, and the personnel to repair the computer room were limited, so the current repair speed is not fast. Coupled with the shortage of parts, the base will only have to take a while to regain its combat effectiveness.

"I see." Ned walked towards the door, not forgetting to nod to the brain on the table, "There are a few plans in there, you check them for me." If there is no mistake, send it to the relevant departments for me first. ”

"Yes, sir."

After Ned left, the adjutant took his seat. The brain is open and ready for operation. It's not uncommon for a situation like this, and the base director's brain has a security warrant that changes from time to time, and only Ned knows about it. Once in standby, you need to enter the correct warrant to access the operating system. Now Ned didn't lock the screen for the convenience of the adjutant's work. The adjutant's fingers flew, and one file after another opened in his eyes.

The smile on his face faded, and the mildness in his eyes was replaced by coldness, as if his body was being controlled by another soul. Or maybe that's what the lieutenant used to be. Calm and clear-headed, he typed in one command after another, retrieving the massive archives in his mind according to his original plan. The progress bar kept advancing, and after a few moments, a document popped up.

"Well, let me see, how did you find Chaos Canyon." The adjutant said softly, opening the file. The first thing that catches your eye is a name, Alan!

This file contains all the records of Allena's identity token, whether it is text, images, and videos, which can be found here. In the program settings, the smart chip of Identity Lingzhi will automatically classify the records of the day on a daily basis. Among these records, however, it is clear that one day is missing. The adjutant frowned, this was clearly the result of artificial deletion.

He quickly took out a small drive from his pocket, plugged it into the brain interface, and called up another program to start repairing the deleted records. While waiting for the program to fix the record, the adjutant stopped by the window from time to time. Suddenly, he saw Ned walking back to the command building, and hurried back to the table. The progress displayed on the screen was getting closer to 100%, and the adjutant began to sweat on his forehead. He tapped his fingers on the table, mentally calculating how long Ned might arrive at the office.

After more than ten seconds, the progress was finally completed. A deleted folder appeared in the window, and the lieutenant used his steady finger to tap a new command to cut the folder and transfer it to his drive, then quickly retrieved it to his body, and closed the open windows one by one. As soon as all this was done, the automatic door of the office opened, and Ned walked in and said, "It looks like we do need to declare a new batch of parts." ”

The adjutant said quietly: "What did old Locke say." ”

"The old man is furious." Ned said with a bitter face: "He complained to me that he can't sleep for a few hours a day now, and there are not enough parts, which makes him very tired of working. This old Locke is also a workaholic. ”

"He always did."

"How's that, the plans?"

"It's already been sent."

"Good, then. There's nothing to do here, if you have anything to keep busy......"

The adjutant smiled, "I'm going to take a look at the warehouse." ”

"Go ahead."

Leaving the command building, the adjutant came to the warehouse. I took an electronic list from the warehouse supervisor and went to the material warehouse to count it. A moment later, a soldier put several boxes on the shelves with a tractor. The height of the box is noticeably higher, blocking out a nearby camera. The adjutant didn't look at it, but took out the drive and threw it to the soldier and said, "Send this to the butcher and tell him that you must hand it over to General Shrek in person." ”

The soldier retracted the drive without saying a word, and the supervisor shouted through the warehouse announcement, "Jerry, how did you do it, blocking camera number 3!" ”

"Let's get it down." The soldier replied, and then nodded to the adjutant, and then the two of them went about their own business, as if they had talked to each other from the end.

In the evening, two tactical speeders left the base. They were responsible for night patrols, but one of them was away from the base, but there was no record of the flying car on the dispatch record. The dispatch records have always been verified by Ned's adjutant, but the adjutant didn't say anything, and Ned naturally didn't know.

Eighteen hours later, the little drive had been placed in front of a man's desk. The swivel chair swirled, and he turned. It's just that there is no light in the room, only the light of the brain. The glow of the screen illuminates the upper body of the man, while the area above the neck is hidden in shadow. However, the light still illuminated the general star on his shoulder, and the two five-pointed silver stars indicated his identity as a major general.

He plugged the drive into his brain, and a moment later, pulled out a file from it. There were several video files in the file, which the man opened in turn, so that the entire process from Allen's discovery of the convoy to the exit of the Canyon of Chaos was faithfully replayed in the eyes of the man.

The man was silent, his gaze stayed on Allen's name, and lingered on the surname of this name for a long time: "Bethcord, what a trouble, it is actually related to Horn." ”

He sighed, turned off the recording, and initiated another call request on an encrypted channel. Ten seconds later, the request goes through and a window pops up on the screen. A figure flashed through the window, and the general said in a deep voice: "I just discovered a troublesome matter, and you need to decide it yourself, my lord." ”

"Sounds like a lot of trouble, what's the matter?"

"Not long ago, on the Frost Star, Bra's actions were in trouble. Their whereabouts were discovered, and the man annihilated Bula's elite team and retreated. Then, a few days later, someone from the hunting group on the Frost Star reported the information of the Chaos Canyon, and this was the launch of the counterattack day plan. ”

"So?"

"That man's name is Alan, and he's from Bethcord. Because of the timing coincidence, I did some necessary research. As I expected, the young master of Beth Kod broke through the Bu Xing's operation, and judging by the fact that he asked the director of the Kaiyan base to delete the records, it was clear that he knew what the Bra were up to. So, my lord, I don't know what you are going to do with this 'insider'? ”

"I said Shrek, you're going to give me a problem. Allan. Bethcord is a real headache. But since he may threaten our very existence, you should know, it is clearly written in our playbook, how should we deal with the threat? ”

The general nodded and said, "I understand, but I need to confirm it with you personally." After all, this will probably provoke old Horn, who is also a legend. ”

"It's called a legend because it's a thing of the past, and we are the future. So you just let it go, and all the officers at your disposal. If necessary, you can fight in person, and I will take care of the aftermath for you. ”

"Thank you very much." The general paused and said, "The last question, what should the director of the Kaiyan base do?" ”

Since he was involved, he naturally didn't want to get out of it. A person who knows the secret, no matter how firm his mouth is, one day he will not be able to help but leak it. There are no tight-lipped people in this world, and if there is, then there are only dead people, are you right, General. ”

Without waiting for the general to reply, the communication ended. The general was silent for a moment at the screen, then said to the communicator on the table, "Call Rice." ”

Moments later, a man slipped into the room. As soon as he entered, there seemed to be a sweet smell in the air, like the smell of blood wafting through the air. Looking at the bloody man in front of the case, the general turned the screen. On the screen was a picture of Allen, and the general said: "This man must die." ”

"My sword is at your disposal, Your Excellency. But you have to tell me, where is he? ”

"Garden of Eden."

"Well, he's dead. In the name of the bloodthirsty Les, I hereby assure you. ”

The general nodded: "It's better to do this, bring enough men, I don't want to see anything to do with failure." ”
