A Saint-level Type 3 mecha was speeding through the air. Soon, it landed in front of Zhang Tao and the others.
With a slight lift of the huge arm, five balls of blue light flew out from inside and sank into the bodies of the five Saint-level Type 2 mechas.
In an instant, the stream of light flickered.
The protective shield was restarted, and the five mechas were able to stand up from the ground.
In front of the five people, a 5D screen appeared.
It was a woman with fiery red hair, with a solemn and dignified expression.
"Sir Mo!"
Including Zhang Tao, five people saluted together.
"What happened to you, why did you completely lose momentum at the same time?
Have you met the powerful Holy Lord?"
Chief Mo frowned.
As the captain, Zhang Tao was naturally the one to report the incident.
After he finished speaking, Chief Mo nodded slightly, "You have met a strong man with special abilities. You are lucky this time. This strong man did not kill you, but... has he interrogated you?"
Chief Mo's eyes fell on Zhang Tao.
The other four people also looked at Zhang Tao with suspicious expressions.
Zhang Tao nodded calmly, "He tried to trick me through some methods, but he stopped this method after he found out that I would be killed on the spot."
"Um."
Commander Mo nodded slightly, "I did see some strange fluctuations in your life over there at the base."
After a pause, "This is the first mission accident you have encountered as a captain. According to safety regulations, you will have an observation period to prove that you have not been affected by other civilizations.
After all, you have had close contact with them, can you understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Tao nodded.
When the other four people saw this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that they had not had close contact with powerful people from other civilizations.
The observation period seems simple, but the water inside is very deep. As expected, Zhang Tao will not be able to return to the battlefield in a short time.
After the observation period ends and he returns to the battlefield, the promotion qualifications that originally belonged to him will basically fall on others.
The superiors are rarely willing to promote a soldier who has had close contact with other civilizations.
After all, there are certain risks here. Some of those civilized methods are very weird and can invisibly turn people into puppets.
This kind of thing has happened several times in the Galaxy Empire. Fortunately, the Galaxy Empire has a complete mechanism to screen out these cases.
After returning to base.
Zhang Tao handed over his Holy Level 2 mecha and was sent to the exit channel by the others.
This passage belongs to the 'Foreign Objects' camp and is surrounded by countless guards. No one dares to hibernate and hunt here, and no one wants to hibernate here.
Zhang Tao could understand the helplessness in Hongyue's tone when he talked about the foreign object camp before, because the source of the foreign object camp was on those machines.
Only by destroying these machines can we obtain the source of essence, but destroying these machines is obviously much more difficult than killing a person.
"I'll send you here. When you get back, someone will take over the rest of your schedule."
Chief Mo gave Zhang Tao a military salute.
"Yes, sir."
Zhang Tao returned the gift.
From the beginning to the end, he was himself, but his roots were stolen by Su Han. It is basically impossible to find out from his daily words and deeds that he is not him.
Zhang Tao also knows what kind of test he is about to face, but he is not worried at all. In fact, he is very 'clean' now.
After leaving the passage, there are many soldiers like Zhang Tao, who are returning through the passage.
The reasons for their return varied. Some were injured and mentally unstable, while others had completed their military service and were considered discharged. There were various reasons.
However, most of them are only fourth-class soldiers, so when they see Zhang Tao, a third-class soldier, they will also pay attention and salute.
"Hey, Zhang Tao?
Didn't you just get promoted to squad leader and prepare to be promoted to private?
Your classmates are spreading rumors about you, why did you suddenly leave Xuantian Territory?"
In front of the passage, a fourth-class soldier looked at Zhang Tao in surprise, with a trace of imperceptible joy and excitement in his eyes.
"Li Ming."
Zhang Tao smiled and nodded, "Something unexpected happened, so I left Xuantian Territory early."
"You wait."
Li Ming took out a certain instrument and scanned Zhang Tao's body. It was customary for everyone who left Xuantian Territory to be scanned by this instrument.
Its function is to prohibit anyone from bringing back some things from the Xuantian Territory without authorization, as those things may be 'polluting'.
In addition, it can also have the function of information preview.
"Have had close contact with outside civilizations and gone back for observation and review?
Zhang Tao, have you been captured by the strong men of outside civilization?"
Li Ming said with a strange expression.
A flash of uncontrollable surprise flashed in his eyes.
After hearing Li Ming's words, the soldiers around him no longer looked at Zhang Tao in awe, but with a hint of suspicion, disdain, and contempt.
Being a prisoner is a lifelong humiliation for a soldier.
It needs to be observed and reviewed to prove that Zhang Tao was indeed captured. With such a stain on the soldier's future, the road ahead has become very difficult.
"Just a few words of conversation."
Zhang Tao said calmly: "Can I go in?"
"Haha, you can go in. By the way, I will go back in a few days. Then I will call the classmates out and let's get together."
Li Ming lowered his voice and laughed.
Then he looked at the other sergeants, waved the instrument in his hand, and ignored Zhang Tao.
Zhang Tao glanced at him, smiled faintly, and walked into the passage.
There was a flash of light in front of my eyes.
He suddenly found himself in a hall filled with a metallic atmosphere.
"Third Class Private Zhang Tao!"
A figure appeared in front of Zhang Tao.
This figure was at least two meters tall, and exuded a terrifying aura that could only belong to a saint.
First-class soldier! A first-class soldier who has undergone genetic modification! In addition to this figure, there are several second-class soldiers and a group of third-class soldiers standing around, holding weapons and staring at Zhang Tao intently.
"Private Zhang Tao, report to the commander!"
Zhang Tao saluted.
The other party observed for a while, then nodded slightly, "Remove the alert, there is no polluted breath penetrated into his body."
When the soldiers around him heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although there is no pollution on your body, it does not mean that there is no mental problem with you, so you still have to undergo observation and review for a certain period of time, do you understand?"
The other party continued.
"clear."
Zhang Tao nodded slightly.
Soldiers once returned here with contamination, which directly caused a group of soldiers to be contaminated to death, including first-class soldiers who had received holy-level genetic modification.
That is a means of revenge from outside civilization.
Before returning, Zhang Tao was prepared to be inspected in various ways.
