In the combat conference room of the Criminal Investigation Department, Zhong Yugu was sitting at attention in the chief position, and a major staff officer from the National Defense Force was sitting in the second position, looking equally serious.
Yuan Yinchuan and He Zhiyuan, as representatives of the special service team, were on the left side of Zhong Yugu, and there were also several cadres from the Criminal Investigation Department present.
The major staff officer representing the National Defense Force looked at his bracelet from time to time, seeming to be very concerned about the time.
Yuan Yinchuan asked Zhong Yugu for instructions in a low voice: "Sir Zhong, let me call Yu Zhesen again."
"No wait, let's get started." Zhong Yugu waved his hand, "Yinchuan, the report starts with you."
Yuan Yinchuan nodded and gestured to He Zhiyuan to help show the slide materials prepared by the special service team.
Several real photos taken in the fighting area in the old city were projected onto the virtual floating screen. In the photos, the attackers suspected to be members of the Boat and Fire Gang were well-equipped. In addition to almost all of them holding firearms, some even wore exoskeletons.
Armored figure.
"Can you tell the origin of the weapons used by the other side?" asked the major staff officer of the National Defense Force.
He Zhiyuan enlarged the photo and focused on the rioters wearing exoskeleton armor.
Everyone present could clearly see that the blue-gray exoskeleton armor worn by the rioters had a lightning-shaped "ZEUS" pattern spray painted on it.
"ZEUS Military Technology Company, a military industry giant originated in St. Newman City." He Zhiyuan pressed the remote control twice, and the company's background information suddenly popped up on the virtual floating screen.
The major staff officer of the National Defense Force looked thoughtful, and then said: "On paper, this military industrial enterprise seems to be stronger than the Xingtian Heavy Industry Group in this city."
He Zhiyuan continued to introduce: "ZEUS Military Technology Company mainly provides military exoskeleton armor and weapons and equipment to the cities of St. Newman, Shidanlon, and Warsabak. Recently, it has signed an agreement with the newly-emerged 12th Renaissance City God Valley.
Treaty of Cooperation.”
"The type of armor shown on the picture is the Grizzly 2 type developed by ZEUS five years ago, right?" the major judged from memory, "Although some details of the armor in the photo have been slightly changed, its overall frame remains the same.
You can see the shadow of Grizzly 2."
"Yes, that is the Grizzly Bear Type 2." Yuan Yinchuan said with certainty, "I have been exposed to this type of armor in the past when I served in the Armored Rangers in Wallshabach. As a model five years ago,
The developed exoskeleton armor, Grizzly Bear Type 2, has improved the shortcomings exposed by Type 1, has stronger electronic countermeasures capabilities and digital integrated firepower, and is also perfectly compatible with various individual weapons under the ZEUS military industry."
"Then how could this kind of armor customized by the military end up in the hands of rioters?" Zhong Yugu frowned.
The Major of the National Defense Force and Yuan Yinchuan looked at each other, with wry smiles on each other's faces.
It is not uncommon for military weapons and equipment to leak out. The Grizzly 2 exoskeleton armor was already circulating on the black market as early as four years ago. Investigators sent by the Iron Dome Administration were surprised to find that it could be purchased on the black market.
A complete set of Grizzly 2 models that were brand new from the factory. However, ZUES Military Technology Company, the original manufacturer, did not admit that they had leaked military-grade weapons without authorization. At the same time, under pressure from the military, the investigation came to nothing.
There is nothing new under the sun. The reason why the Grizzly 2 appears on the black market is simply because some officers of the National Defense Force are stealing and reselling military equipment. This situation is very common in the city of Wallshabach where Yuan Yinchuan once served.
Generally speaking, because the local defense forces have long been responsible for fighting against desert pirates, weapons and equipment that have been sold privately can easily get away with just reporting them as battle losses.
Yuan Yinchuan hated this deeply but could do nothing about it. His character was not popular in the army. Although he had outstanding talents, he was promoted several times in the local defense force of Walsabak. Finally, he was promoted to the Armored Rangers.
The troops thought they could flex their muscles, but sadly found that their troops were almost fighting alone.
The enemy is not only in the Great Sand Realm, but also within them.
The blood of those comrades who dried up under the yellow sand is the hatred that Yuan Yinchuan still cannot let go of today.
"Sorry, I'm late." Yu Zhesen, who walked in with a document bag, apologized and bowed to everyone.
Zhong Yugu turned his head and approached the staff officer of the Defense Force and whispered a few words in his ear. The latter's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Yu Zhesen with a little more attention.
"It's not too late. Come take your seat, Commissioner Yu." Zhong Yugu gestured to Yu Zhesen to take the empty seats next to Yuan Yinchuan and He Zhiyuan.
"I have something important to report." Yu Zhesen was still standing at the door, "Please allow me to jump in line."
Yuan Yinchuan looked at the two officers and saw that no one objected, so he motioned to He Zhiyuan to stop the projection.
Yu Zhesen nodded to them and thanked them, then took a step to the side: "Before I officially start my report, I would like to introduce to you Commissioner Matthew from St. Newman City."
Matthew, who used the prosthetic body of a teenager, walked through the door into the conference room and appeared in front of everyone.
"How long have you been here to discuss something as trivial as the leakage of military exoskeleton armor? If we don't do something, Qidao City will sink!" Matthew loudly made a shocking statement as soon as he entered the conference room.
Speech.
Except for Yu Zhesen, who had already understood the situation in advance, everyone present was shocked by Matthew's words.
"What do you mean Qidao City is about to sink?" Zhong Yugu asked first.
"Literally, Qidao City is facing an unprecedented crisis." Matthew came to the conference table, took out a data cable from under his left palm and connected it to the computer in the conference room.
A dimly lit photo was displayed on a floating screen, showing numerous armed thugs surrounding a green medical cabin.
Through the glass cover of the medical cabin, you can see an old man with gray hair and a shrunken body lying inside.
Everyone in the conference room looked at Matthew with confusion, waiting for him to further explain the scene.
"This is information sent by an informant lurking within the Shiphuo Gang who risked his life." Matthew said, "The old man who looks like he is dying in the medical cabin is a 'disaster level' superpower. Seven Islands
The unusual weather in the city today is caused by this person."
"You said this tropical storm was caused by this old man's superpower?" the major staff officer of the National Defense Force looked incredulous.
Zhong Yugu looked solemn, and all the middle-level cadres of the Criminal Investigation Department also looked at each other.
They still had too little contact with people with supernatural powers. Yu Zhesen thought to himself, if the people sitting here listening to the report were Claire and the captains of the field department, Matthew's words would probably attract everyone's attention immediately.
"Isn't this storm caused by tropical storm Ludia passing through this city?" Someone raised a question.
Matthew said: "The 'Ludia' tropical storm is indeed a natural formation, but the reason why it stayed in the Seven Islands for a long time is because of this guy's superpower."
"What is a 'disaster level' superpower? Which authoritative organization gave this concept?"
"It is evaluated according to the grading standards given by the Saint Newman City Superpower Research Center. People with superpowers who can affect and change the natural environment on a large scale can be considered as 'disaster level'."
Seeing that everyone still didn't quite understand, Matthew directly displayed the grading standard file copied from his prosthetic body on the screen.
The St. Newman City Superpower Research Center has divided the hazards of superpowers into six levels, from bottom to top: slight, ordinary, dangerous, terrifying, disaster, and doomsday.
"'Disaster level' superpowers already pose such a threat, what about 'doomsday level' superpowers?" Zhong Yugu asked.
"As described in this level, it will bring the end of the new era and the Iron Dome Civilization." Matthew replied meticulously, "Although no such superpower has been found yet, if superpower genes are allowed to naturally hybridize and evolve,
If the mutation continues, sooner or later there will be a day like this."
"Even if what you said is true, this is not what we should be concerned about right now." The staff officer of the Defense Force patted the table lightly, "Let's continue discussing the information about the 'disaster-level' ability."
