It was six o'clock in the morning, and the willow trees on the horizon began to rise into the sky, and most of the world was still dark. The lightest Zhiyu type warship of the Federation, which was still incomparably huge compared to the human body, blocked out those heavenly rays, sinking the darkness, and reflected on Xu Le's unconcealed angry face.

The Charter Bureau has unimaginably advanced authority, even on the battlefield. This mysterious agency asked the seven groups to carry out a new mission, in a way, that is, a military order, and as a soldier, Xu Le had no reason to refuse, let alone be angry.

However, after a night of high-intensity network installation, the members of the seventh group were already quite tired, and they did not make any preliminary preparations for the sudden arrival of the charter bureau's mission, and at this time, the light of day had come, and the new mission would definitely be carried out during the day, and the danger would increase a lot, and there might be serious casualties.

And in the indifferent attitude of this curly-haired Charter Bureau official, it seemed that he didn't take his team's surname seriously, so Xu Le's anger was unabashedly projected from his eyes.

The curly-haired Chartist Bureau official ignored the anger on Xu Le's face, took out the miniature workbench from his black overalls, called up the top-secret electronic map, and said coldly: "The time for the general attack is set for this evening. The installation of the electronic monitoring network is almost complete, and the task you will be carrying out is to go to the central junction to carry out the final test of the mesh data penetration. ”

Xu Le didn't answer, and slowly put his hands behind his back, his thick eyebrows, which were as straight as a straight knife in the sheath, were slightly upturned, but he was stubborn and didn't say a word.

"The pivotal junction is at 832.113.47, and it takes 1 hour, 12 minutes, and 34 seconds to get past the transit base, and I ask you to complete the final test task by 2 p.m. sharp. ”

In the shadow of the battleship, there were only two of them, and the soldiers of the seven groups looked at this side from a distance, and questions gradually grew in their eyes.

The Chartist Bureau officer clearly felt the resistance implied in the silence of the lieutenant colonel in front of him, but he didn't care, lowered his head, and quickly demonstrated on the workbench light screen the next seven groups of operations, in his opinion, he was only issuing orders on behalf of the Charter Bureau and the Ministry of Defense, and any military personnel must obey the orders.

Xu Le looked at him, and suddenly said: "What the fuck, the most cutting-edge scientific and technological civilization in the entire universe, do you still need people to activate it personally? Although I am not a technical official of the Charter Bureau, don't forget that I am an engineer of Guoke after all, not a college student who graduated from liberal arts. ”

The official was slightly stunned, slowly raised his head, and looked at Xu Le's face, only then did he remember the background of the officer in front of him, his heart twitched a little, and an unnatural smile appeared on his face, explaining: "The glory of the charter is returning to the fallen star, of course, it is impossible to start it manually, but before the final start, a certain ......operation needs to be carried out."

Xu Le didn't answer, just looked at him coldly.

The curly-haired officer was silent for a moment, then said with a forced smile, "You know. ”

If it weren't for the few backers behind Xu Le, all of which were the most majestic and magnificent scenery in the Federation, the senior officials from the Charter Bureau would not have said a soft word like this at this time and took a step back.

However, Xu Le didn't appreciate it, stared at his eyes with a solemn expression, and scolded softly: "You know a fart, do you still expect the master to leave you an email address, and you send me a few pornographic videos?...... Mission, seven groups will definitely take it, but you have to tell me the truth. ”

Xu Le's voice was full of undisguised oppression and threats, although he didn't know what would happen to him after the war if he didn't tell him the truth, but I don't know why, the Chartist was silent for a moment and really opened his mouth.

"For more than a decade since the end of the last war, the Charter Bureau has not carried out surface netting work. In particular, the installation of full coverage of the planetary surface such as 163 and 3320 has not been done for hundreds of years. ”

The official said with a hint of embarrassment and silence: "Although the bureau has a complete installation manual, there is still a problem. ”

"What's the problem?" asked Xu Le, with a slightly sparse voice.

"Yesterday evening, when the command ship was debugging the signal with the Charter Bureau, it was found that there may be a data error in the linkage chipset installed at the hub and convergence point. Seeing that Xu Le's face had become extremely ugly, the official immediately continued to explain: "But the bureau has already issued me full authority, and the relevant technical processes and important parameters are all in the workbench. We just need to do a little restoration, and it's not that difficult. ”

Xu Le's expression gradually returned to normal, but secretly he kept gasping for air. The Federation has decided to launch a general attack on the planet today, and as a result, the all-important all-round monitoring and command network is in danger of not being activated.

If the schedule of the general offensive is rescheduled or delayed, not to mention whether the imperial side will find out anything, the self-reflection of the war as a large system project will make the federal army pay an even heavier price.

He took off his sunglasses, rubbed his somewhat stuffy eyebrows, looked at the high-level miniature workbench in the other party's hand, and said, "Give me all the specifications and parameters." ”

"No, this is top-secret data, and it can only be kept by me. When it came to charter-related regulations, the curly-haired official reverted to being rigid and tough, and did not budge.

Xu Le was silent for a moment, knowing that there was no point in arguing over this matter, and glanced at the white magnolia under the shadow of the battleship.

The next moment, Bai Yulan, Lan Xiaolong and other seven groups of officers gathered around Xu Le, and everyone gathered to the workbench and listened carefully to the mission statement of the Charter Bureau official, and everyone's faces became more and more solemn.

Xu Le didn't look at it, he put on his sunglasses again, stood on the periphery of the crowd with his eyes closed, and seemed to be recuperating, but in fact he was secretly contacting the old thing to confirm whether what the Charter Bureau said was true, and finally he got the definite news from the flashing light in his left eye.

Without any hesitation, the Seven Groups, with a sense of stunned and absurd anger at the sublime mystical Charter Bureau for making such a childish mistake, boarded the battleship again and headed for the target area.

Before leaving, Xu Le asked the charter official a question.

"Why the seven?"

The Charter Bureau official replied, "The Charter Bureau and the Department of Defense only trust you and your team. ”

............ The bright sun hovered above the bright atmosphere, and the ranks were deliberately stretched into a long line like a gray snake as the silent soldiers carefully marched along the outer edge of the smooth riverbank, wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

At Xu Le's request, the team members who carried out the last mission before the Federation's general offensive were reduced to forty people, and the rest of the recruits withdrew to the base under the leadership of Lan Xiaolong.

"Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, thank you for your support of our work. The curly-haired Charter Bureau official had already unbuttoned his neckline, stood beside a smooth stone, and said very seriously, but his hand was tightly gripping the top-secret workbench and would never let it go.

Xu Le ignored him, frowned to prevent sweat from seeping into his eyes, cautiously scanned the surrounding environment, always felt that the banks of the river beach seemed too quiet at the moment, I don't know if it was because the sun was too blazing, there were no signs of animals.

More than a dozen steps away, Xiao Thirteenth Floor and Da Vinci, who was traveling with him, were asking with their eyes if they could smoke, but their head did not light the cigarette between their lips for a moment, and they couldn't make any extra movements.

The cigarette between Xu Le's lips swayed up and down, unlit, and this was the best moment for his sight, maneuvering beside this river beach, no one could predict the risk.

"Lieutenant Colonel Xu, my surname is Xie, and my name is ......" The Charter Bureau official seemed to want to ease the tension between himself and the Seventh Group.

"I don't want to know your name. Xu Le took the cigarette from between his lips, stuffed it into his pocket, looked at the other party and said directly.

The curly-haired official surnamed Xie was slightly stunned, and an unnatural smile appeared on his face, but then his smile disappeared, because there was a noise in the riverside forest in front of him, and a white bird flew out.

The seven groups were immediately on alert.

The white bird landed in the shallow sand of the river beach as if no one was around, and began to peck at the food with its head down, ignoring the scorching sun, and it was no wonder that the bird's body was a little bloated.

The seven groups of team members relaxed, looking for this rare leisure, and watched this scene with a smile.

The Charter Bureau official wiped the sweat from his forehead with some embarrassment, and was about to turn around and continue to say something to Xu Le.

At this moment, Xu Le's pupils shrank suddenly, and he reached over suddenly, trying to push the official to the ground!

He moved fast, but he was still slow.

The invisible killing bullet, flying from afar, sliced through the air and struck the Chartist in the chest.

Immediately after that, a fierce rain of bullets hit his body accurately and terrifyingly, and together with the workbench containing extremely important data in his hand, this flesh and blood body was instantly torn and bombarded into countless pieces of flesh and blood, collapsing and collapsing on the bank of the river beach!

At this time, the gunfire on both sides of the river beach was dense and terrifying.

............ The sound of heavy artillery fire instantly covered the entire area of the river beach, and countless mud was lifted, and the indiscernible ballistic impact pierced through the hard terrazzo and the trees along the beach. In the picture of tree bark flying smoke and dust in the sky, from time to time seven groups of team members were hit and fell, hard pottery body armor burst out of fragments, and blood sprayed wildly from the hit parts.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Take cover!"

"The stars are scattered!"

In the intercom system of the seven groups of individual helmets, a series of fierce commands sounded. Dozens of team members retreated as fast as they could, towards the woods behind the river beach.

With a pop, Da Vinci, who was pale and rushed forward quickly, was bleeding from the crook of his knees, and fell to the ground heavily, without snorting, grabbing the stones with both hands, trying to crawl away from the dense fire of the empire on the opposite side of the river beach.

Xu Le cowered under a boulder, dodging the rain of bullets overhead. He didn't even notice that his left arm had flicked to the left, and he just stared intently at the body of the official not far away.
