Chapter 329: Bad News on a Rainy Night
The news on TV didn't know how long it had passed. Shi Chen just looked ahead quietly, as if he was deep in thought. It wasn't until there was a subtle sound of falling outside the window that he came back to his senses.
It was raining, and Shi Chen glanced at the rainy scenery outside the window, thinking that the administrative area must be very busy tonight, and only his side was quiet and lonely.
Shi Chen packed up the dishes, took a cold shower, and then lay on his bed. He couldn't help recalling today's bloody scenes in his mind. He didn't know how long it took before he finally fell asleep.
However, even in dreams, this situation continues, and even the scenes in dreams in Xixia Mountain keep reappearing, including the devastated ruins of the city, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and those ferocious creatures.
He ran alone in that hell-like city, with an overwhelming number of strange creatures behind him. No matter how he escaped, those images were as hard to get rid of as a gangrene attached to his bones, and like a bloody mouth, they were slowly devouring him.
Bang!
Just when he was about to be overtaken, Shi Chen fired, but he also sat up in shock, his face pale and he couldn't help but gasp.
Although he knew that he had a nightmare before, and that he had dreams at night because he was thinking about it during the day, Shi Chen still felt an unforgettable coldness and fear.
He suddenly had a feeling that maybe it was really a mistake to make the technology of biological mechas public to the world.
Now imagine that, in the event of such an incident, this technology would be sealed and hidden, which would be a good thing.
However, for some reason, there was always a feeling of palpitations lingering in his heart tonight, making him intuitively feel that something bad was going to happen.
After all this confusion, he had no intention of sleeping. He looked at the clock on the bedside table and saw that the hands were pointing to just past one in the morning. Just when he was about to get up and wash his face with cold water, he suddenly received a call from the military headquarters.
However, the content of the phone call made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Xia Jingming is dead.
Xia Jingming, as the Chief of General Staff of the Military Department, was also the top person in charge of the Military Department's announcement of the biological mecha. After organizing the aftermath of the incident at Lunsa Square, he followed the decision of the subsequent joint meeting to remove the existing personnel.
Isolate and develop biological mecha manufacturing sites that may have hidden dangers.
Theoretically, after this night, the secrecy surrounding the biological mechas will become an iron barrel.
What no one expected was that someone actually tried to sneak into the isolated R&D area and was discovered by security personnel. A fierce exchange of fire ensued. Then a rebellion suddenly broke out within the military headquarters, and the entire military area fell into unprecedented chaos.
middle.
Xia Jingming, while commanding this battle, was hit by a stray bullet and died despite ineffective rescue efforts.
Originally, a lieutenant-level officer like Shi Chen was not qualified to know about such a big event. However, perhaps because Shi Chen was a provider of biomechanical technology, after the incident, the military exchanged opinions and decided to
Shi Chen issued a summons and went to the military headquarters to hold a temporary military meeting.
The moment Shi Chen learned about this matter, he seemed to have an unreal feeling. The man with whom he briefly came into contact for the first time on Titan, the man with whom he had a detailed conversation just a few hours ago,
Just die like this?
Although Shi Chen and Xia Jingming were not familiar with each other and had only had a few brief contacts, and even the last time they met could be considered an unhappy ending, he could still feel the elders' protection for the younger ones.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain.
Because according to some logic, Xia Jingming can even be said to have died because of him.
If he had not come up with the technology of biological mechas, there would have been no subsequent patent disputes, nor would there have been the phone call to Solo Castle. Then as the general staff of the military, there was no need for him to be personally involved in taking charge of this time. Publicity activities, then he will not die unexpectedly...
Although this is a very far-fetched logic, in the dark, this is cause and effect.
"What should Xia Li do?" With this heavy and guilty question, he hurriedly embarked on the road to the military headquarters.
By the time he arrived at the First Military District of the capital, the aftermath work had come to an end, but the air was still filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke. This smell was the battlefield.
From this smell, we knew that the rebellion tonight was definitely not small, and many people died.
Perhaps there were instructions from above, so the duty officer took him directly to the military conference hall.
Because of Xia Jingming's death, Shi Chen had mixed emotions in his heart, but he still managed to listen to the meeting.
If it is as he expected, due to the historical issues left over from the Silver Cross War, many Imperial people will inevitably be mixed into the Federation. Many people even lurk in the Federation through the original chaos and the Empire's careful arrangements, and among them Some of them, after years of hard work, have climbed to the middle ranks of the military.
Originally, these people were lurking within the Federation because the Empire planned to use them at a critical moment in the Second Total War to make a decisive difference.
However, as the internal situation in the empire gradually deteriorated, coupled with the successive defeats on the front line, the empire seemed to have no hope of victory. At this time, the biological mecha aroused the vigilance and covetousness of the empire.
It was later confirmed that many of the dead this time were on the FBI's watch list, so it could be confirmed that it was done by Imperial personnel.
It has to be said that if the Imperial people really get this technology, it may have an unpredictable and significant impact on the future war situation.
Because of this, the First Military Region has already strengthened its vigilance, and even seemed to be waiting for help. However, no one expected that the empire's secret lurking in the federal military headquarters would have such energy, and even in the The final counterattack caused immeasurable losses to the military, especially the death of Xia Jingming, which was an unbearable pain.
After the temporary meeting, Shi Chen was invited for questioning again. The questions asked were nothing more than the same questions that Xia Jingming asked today. The answers Shi Chen gave were still the same, and the military department did not make things difficult for him.
Then at his request, I went to see Xia Jingming's remains, stayed silent for a long time, and left sadly.
After Shi Chen left the conference hall, a question that he couldn't let go of for a long time came to his mind. Why did the empire make such moves twice in succession in the federal territory? If they had made up their mind to destroy the military from the beginning, they would have to If biomechanical technology is stolen, then why should it be "alerted" at the time of public announcement? This will undoubtedly make the First Military Region strengthen its alert and guarding forces.
And they knew the weaknesses of the biological mecha from the beginning and had methods to make it lose control. Why not wait until later in the day when they use it in a large-scale group battle? In this case, they might be able to take advantage of the out-of-control power of the federal mecha and achieve a big victory. win.
There is a complete contradiction between the two.
Since there is a contradiction, it means that there must be a problem, and perhaps one of them is not the work of the so-called "imperial people".
Thinking of this, Shi Chen's mind finally suddenly became clear, and many unclear connections gradually surfaced.
A very simple topic, who least wants to see major changes in the war situation?
"Suye Hongtu!" Shi Chen chewed the name through gritted teeth.
If the announcement of the biological mecha is successful, it will definitely be equipped by the Federation to the Canglan front line as soon as possible. The empire will definitely be retreating steadily as it is caught in numerous rebellions internally.
If the Empire is defeated, the Blackstone Sector will most likely be slaughtered due to the hidden hatred of the Federation people towards the Empire people. Even if it is not done, it will inevitably be severely weakened after losing its usefulness, and it will no longer be as powerful as it is today.
But he still didn't understand why Su Yehongtu didn't try to seize this technology himself since he already had such great power within the federation, but chose to destroy the announcement and force the federation to seal it away.
But no matter what, Shi Chen's anger towards this name has reached the point where it is hard to get rid of it.
With complicated emotions, Shi Chen walked alone outside the First Military Region, but a black car stopped in front of him.
The car window rolled down, and it was Isa who had been waiting for him outside. Shi Chen suddenly remembered that she had also attended the impromptu meeting before, and she must have come on behalf of the Elizabethan royal family.
