Units of the Colombian Seventh Army took over the experimental base No. 4 of the Rhine Life.

But from beginning to end, the real high-level figures of the Rhine life never appeared.

...

** was quickly quelled, and Hemmer was safely rescued by Froststar, along with Whiteface Owl and Mel.

At Ogul's signal, Xia Feng didn't stop long, and quickly withdrew from the area with everyone and the wounded, returning to the temporary stronghold he had borrowed from Black Steel before.

In the process of going back, Xia Feng probably knew the ins and outs of ** from Serea's mouth.

....

In fact, none of Rheinland's experimental plans were decided by one person, and the composition of this organization is extremely mysterious and inextricably linked to the Colombian government.

Since the [Fire Demon Project] a long time ago, the direction of the experiment has been questioned by some high-level officials, but at that time, it was only concerned about the possible consequences of the experiment getting out of control.

The interior of the life of the Rhine is roughly divided into two factions.

One faction is an extremist faction, striving to carry out out-of-the-box experiments and break through the existing scientific and technological landscape.

Convinced of the strategic implications of the experiment's success, the Colombian government acquiesced in the dark experiment.

On the other hand, there are conservatives who believe that this kind of leapfrogging experiment is uncharted territory, that Colombia's situation is currently very stable, and that there is no need for such a risky act, and that failure or exposure may have unpredictable international public opinion.

The most serious consequence is that it will become the target of the world, and of course, if the experiment is really as successful as predicted, it will not hurt to become the target of public criticism.

However, if you fail, or if you don't succeed as expected, you can get into big trouble.

...

Of the two schools of thought in the life of the Rhine, the Colombian government undoubtedly chose the former, a subversive instrument of warfare, which has a fatal appeal for a powerful nation.

The [Firedemon Project] went smoothly, and ended with the destruction of Base 4.

The Source Stone Beast Project was launched again, but after spending hundreds of millions of scientific research funds and transnational experiments, it still could not be controlled.

Finally, Rhine Life activated the [Black Flame Project].

This is the last gamble for the extremists, as long as the clones can successfully inherit the power of the Ancient Stone, they can recoup all the losses they have lost, as well as the trust of the Colombian government.

Similarly, the success of the Black Flame Project is also the Colombian government's last bottom line for the life of the Rhine.

As a result, the Black Flame Project failed.

The utter failure is like a big joke.

At the moment of the failure of the experiment, the army that had already been ready immediately intervened on the battlefield, and at the same time, the government had decided to freeze all the subsequent experimental plans of the Rhine life.

.....

Successful or not, this is an experiment that cannot be disclosed to the outside world, including the hundreds of millions of citizens of Colombia.

The Source Stone Beast cannot be controlled by precise humans, and once it escapes out of control, it will evolve into an irreparable disaster, and after its death, it may cause a large-scale ore disease infection**.

If the public knew that such a horrific experiment was going on in the country, it would surely destabilize the existing political situation, and unlike the aristocratic monarchy of Victoria, Colombia advocated absolute democracy and freedom of speech.

Once the government loses the trust of the people, the results can be imagined.

Therefore, the army must completely block the entire ** this time, and not let a little news leak out.

Rhine life itself will not be revealed, the No. 4 base is in the ruins of the former natural disaster, and the radius of hundreds of kilometers is even more inaccessible, the only uncertainty is the "bait" that participated in this **, Xia Feng and his companions.

....

Speaking of which, Xia Feng has completely figured it out.

At the same time, he understood why Ogur had placed special emphasis on his international influence and nobility in front of General Myray.

Because, if he is a nobody, the army will wipe out them who know the inside story, along with the Source Stone Beast, at all costs.

Ogul's attitude and his true identity did not allow such a thing to happen, and various factors interfered with General Merray's judgment.

General Merley knew that even if the army wiped out all the people involved, it would be impossible to block the matter.

And the premise is that his army can really effortlessly annihilate the team of hundreds of source stone beasts and two Rhine life-confident clones with only a dozen people.

In addition, there is also the existence of the Black Steel International with an attitude that is clearly inclined to the other end.

The public opinion consequences of the revelation of the details of the experiment are beyond the government's affordability.

Politicians never gamble and choose peaceful compromise over risky force.

One, forget about it and don't mention it to the outside world.

Two, the army will let you go, leave with the people you want to take with you, leave Colombia forever.

Of course, Xia Feng will accept this deal.

...

...

Back at the outskirts of Bula, it was already dark.

On this day, everyone completed a difficult battle in a foreign land, they had no way back, and every step was dancing on the tip of a knife.

But in the end, they won.

After returning to the stronghold, everyone first assisted Gawei in relocating the wounded, but there were not many injured people, and there were no serious injuries, and they were basically grazed by the drone's bullets.

In addition, Lapland's left hand was somewhat dislocated due to excessive force, a member of the Meteorite Squad was bitten by a snake during a sniper, and the turtle was so tired that he couldn't get up from the bed because of his frequent use of the Source Stone technique.

As for the losses of this operation, they are also quite a lot, as follows.

First of all, the finished source stone consumed more than 400 pieces, most of which were destroyed by Ifrit's last move.

The ammunition loss of the Meteorite Squad is conservatively estimated to be at least 20 million or more.

Penguin Logistics' intelligence expenses, 50 million.

The action fee for the assistance of Black Steel International, the friendship price given by Ogul is 60 million.

In addition to this, there is also some attrition on your side.

For example, the fuel used by the Haimen Gang cargo ship to reverse, the shield of Big Brother ACE that was knocked out, the boots that Snow Monster No. 1 ran away from, and the hair of Wolf Da was burned.

....

After everyone calmed down temporarily, the first thing Xia Feng did was to take out the phone and call Vina.

The phone rang and was immediately connected.

Vena's eager voice came.

"Hey, Xia Feng, how's it going?"

"Rest assured, it's going well, now that the operation is over, everyone has been rescued."

Vina paused, then her tone became steady.

"yes, that's good."

Xia Feng heard it, and Vena was actually greatly relieved.

"Have you ever been hurt, I.... I mean, everybody's not hurt. ”

"It's no big deal, don't worry, tomorrow I'm going to talk to Ogul about something, and then I can go back."

"Oh, okay, then I'll wait for you to come back."

"Yes."

...

Putting down the phone, Xia Feng looked at the corner of the hall, this picture is definitely worth it.

A military bed in the corner.

Ifrit snuggled up to Hermer's side like a paralyzed patient, and she was already taller than Hermer, but she was still not ashamed to open her mouth and eat Hemmer's spoonful of hot porridge.

Serena leaned against the doordoor with her arms crossed and said nothing, and when no one noticed, she looked at Ifrit with wordless warmth in her eyes.
