Fifty minutes after the attack on the mine;

76 Fortress Confidential Meeting.

Zhou Zhengde pushed open the door of the conference room, and the other seven people attending the meeting looked over at the same time. He nodded slightly and rushed to the bottom of the conference table.

In the middle of the long table is the Archon of Fortress 76, a gray-haired, burly, kind-faced uncle.

It's the one who was called Nuo Nuo Chi by Kong Nu.

There are two women on the left and right hands of the consul. The slender and intellectual lady on the left who looks like Zhou Zhengde's sister is Zhou Zhengde's mother, Minister of Internal Affairs Zhou Meiying.

There is no new biology minister here, instead there are two middle-aged men in military uniforms.

"Captain Zhou is here," the consul said solemnly, "Let's have a meeting, just two small matters."

Zhou Meiying was the first to speak:

"The fortress was suddenly attacked by a blade beast. After investigation, it was found that this small group of blade beasts was a small group of blade beasts wandering underground. There are currently no traces of general-level or sub-general-level blade beasts. The frontline headquarters has determined it to be an accidental incident. It is normal.

Strengthen the terrain survey around the fort.

"Thanks to the fact that the half-human mecha Lingtong Major was recuperating in the fortress, the blade beast attack was quickly put down.

"Sixty-two of our mine workers died, and two soldiers were injured while traveling in the tunnel. We are already going through the process to comfort the families of the deceased."

The Archon Uncle said seriously:

"We first express our condolences to the deceased.

"Then, this attack has been properly resolved, because the number of blade beasts involved exceeds a hundred. Do we want to publicize it inside the fortress? Please speak briefly."

Several people attending the meeting spoke one after another:

"I think not using it temporarily will cause unnecessary panic."

"We are located at the rear of the Medieval Basin war zone. Being attacked by bladed beasts is a small probability event. There is no need to publicize it."

"There are no traces of large-scale mobilization of blade beasts, right?"

"No, this bladed beast has been moving underground. It must have sensed the gathering point of humans."

"No need to publicize it."

The consul nodded: "We have reached a consensus that there will be no publicity. The second thing is that the Thirteenth Institute requested to enter the Expanded Area C for investigation. Do you agree?"

"Refuse!" Zhou Zhengde immediately raised his hand.

The participating representatives looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Minister of the Interior Zhou Meiying chose to abstain.

"The meeting is over," the consul uncle made a gesture, "Zhou Zhengde will stay, and the ministers will go back to their offices to work."

Several people got up and left.

Before Zhou Meiying left, she patted Zhou Zhengde on the shoulder and asked softly: "Can we have dinner together later, baby?"

"You don't just cook and eat."

"Then you can eat it yourself!"

Zhou Meiying slapped Zhou Zhengde hard on the head, turned around and left quickly.

Zhou Zhengde looked at the consul uncle and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"There is a more difficult question." The consul took off his glasses and raised his hand to rub his forehead, "Let Colonel Dongfang speak."

"good!"

Dongfang Masahiro, the current supreme commander of the 76th Fortress United Defense Force, is responsible for the defense of the 76th Fortress. He is forty-six years old. He is a square-faced, upright... former commander-in-chief guard.

Half of his left arm was broken, and he now uses an ordinary prosthetic leg, which does not affect his command work.

Dongfang Zhenghong smiled at Zhou Zhengde and pushed the disc-shaped stereo projector in front of him, and several photos appeared on it.

In the photo are the remains of two bladed beasts.

The kind that has been opened.

Zhou Zhengde frowned tightly.

"Funny, right?"

Dongfang Zhenghong said in a deep voice:

"A mysterious psyker hunted eight low-level basic bladed beasts. The causes of their deaths were all strange, but without exception, their outer bones were ripped open, and there were obvious signs of trying to burn them. But obviously, this

The hunter was unable to burn it in the end.

"Then, Zhengde, you tried to destroy these photos on the military internal network half an hour ago."

Zhou Zhengde whispered: "Is there any problem? This hunter helped us."

"The crystal cores of these blade beasts are missing."

Dongfang Zhenghong said:

"I have suppressed this matter, and in the process of reporting to the front line, I deliberately left out these eight bladed beasts and had them burned completely in a high-temperature and high-pressure furnace."

Zhou Zhengde nodded slowly, touched his chin and analyzed carefully: "Uncle, do you mean that the hunter took away the crystal core?"

"Yes," Dongfang Masahiro asked, "I invited you here to ask this question. Why does the hunter need the crystal core? Can he make psykers? This question is very important. The Thirteenth Institute has become a cancer in our human camp. If

If there is a way to replace them, that would be great."

"The hunter used it as a weapon to fight bladed beasts."

Zhou Zhengde explained:

"I will negotiate with this hunter to see if we can let him share some alien technology...especially related to weapons."

Dongfang Zhenghong leaned back: "Is this really alien technology?"

"It is very likely that the civilization that is associated with the Blade Beast is helping us."

Zhou Zhengde said nonsense seriously:

"Of course none of this has been confirmed.

"Uncle, what I mean is, before he takes the initiative to speak, try to maintain a good relationship with him.

"He is helping us hunt down blade beasts, he is fighting against the corrupt Thirteenth House, and he is punishing the evil deeds of the gangs in the lower city. He has done more than we have done in the past few years.

"If we want to launch any investigation around him in a big way, we can't actually hide it from the 13th Institute.

"Why don't I dare to take him to see my grandpa now? It's simple. I can't trust the environment there. The 13th Institute is already pervasive, especially around my grandpa.

"We all know why, they are afraid of my grandpa.

"At this stage, we can only try to keep a low profile regarding this hunter, and be prepared for Qin Qin's spying and investigation. In fact, Qin Qin just caused trouble, and Lingtong has already killed one of her subordinates, Lu Dongjie."

"I know this."

Dongfang Zhenghong raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, leaning on the chair and thinking continuously.

The uncle of the consul smiled and asked: "Zhengde, how is your lower city reform plan going?"

"Thirty percent," Zhou Zhengde said hurriedly, "I will come up with several drafts for you to review as soon as possible."

"come on."

The uncle consul stretched himself and stood up:

"I still have a lot of work to deal with, you can decide the direction of this matter yourself.

"However, the parents and officials in my place should say a word.

"This is an era lacking hope. If, I mean if, our 76 Fortress can really give birth to new hope, even if it only increases one percent, one thousandth, or one ten thousandth of the overall war situation, then it will be

Extremely precious.

"Be decisive, my beloved soldiers, you are the main force to protect mankind."

Dongfang Zhenghong and Zhou Zhengde smiled and nodded.

After the consul left, Zhou Zhengde took out the text switch, typed a line and sent it.

【01:You really killed eight!】

【02:Yes.】

[01: None of the C-level psychics have this kind of strength! 】

【02:Yes.】

[01: Lingtong must not be obsessed with you! It’s so cool! By the way, are you sure you want the crystal core to be a weapon? Lingtong sent me a message before. 】

Half a minute passed.

[02: Can you get more crystal cores over there? 】

[01: No, according to the frontline laws and regulations, all crystal cores must be handed over to the frontline command center and then transferred to the psionic capital, otherwise the psykers will explode. This is also the core of the Thirteenth Institute and the military.

Benefit. If this happens again in the future, tell me in advance and I will arrange for my people to destroy those blade beasts without crystal cores when cleaning the battlefield.】

【02:Okay.】
