Chapter 566: Assault On Headquarters!
Someone next to Victor said angrily,
“Asshole, what right do you have to seize my optical brain? Private property is inviolable!”
After that, Fang Linyan knew that these guys were greedy for money. Now that they found some mistakes in the military’s conduct, they probably wanted to make a fortune.
Normally, Victor’s behavior would only be regarded as a contract dispute, and it had to be judged by the arbitration hall of the Star Consortium, but there was an emergency now.
But Victor was not wrong in this situation. Even the Star Consortium’s people couldn’t blame him.
At the same time, Fang Linyan noticed that the group including Match and Baseball were frequently paying attention to the mercenaries. Obviously, they had a certain relationship with these troublemakers.
Goat’s eyes moved slightly, and he said in the team channel,
“Boss, something seems to be wrong. From what Victor said, we seem to be going on a mission to another planet. Damn it, are we going to the colony hunter planet?”
Fang Linyan said,
“Let’s observe first.”While Victor and his men were making noise, Colonel Casio strode over from the platform with several guards.
After Colonel Casio asked about the reason, he narrowed his eyes, then he glanced contemptuously at the soldier next to him. Finally, he cast his cold eyes on the unruly Victor.
Victor completely ignored Colonel Casio’s gaze and talked to his men confidently as if he didn’t take anyone seriously.
Colonel Casio looked indifferently at this group of ignorant mercenaries, but he was not in a hurry to give an answer. Instead, he asked the military officer to give him the list of new recruits, then he stroked his fingers on the optical brain. There was a vicious look in his eyes.
Then, Colonel Casio suddenly pulled out the standard Python III electromagnetic pistol from his waist, pointed it at Victor’s head, and pulled the trigger!
“Bang!“
Victor’s eyes turned dull for an instant. The electromagnetic bullet penetrated his head, then he heavily fell to the floor behind. The blood mixed with brain fluid flowed all over the floor.
The bright red blood, pale brain fluid, and smooth floor make this scene particularly cruel!
“Fuck! You crazy bitch…!”
“Oh my God! Victor was killed.”
“Murderer! Kill him!”
The sudden change shocked the mercenaries present!
Just when they instinctively took out their weapons to seek revenge, they found that several laser guns suddenly slid out from the ceiling and aimed at them.
One man impulsively pulled the trigger at Colonel Casio, but he was instantly riddled with lasers! It gave off an unbearable burning smell.
Facing the cruel death threat, the other mercenaries chickened out. After being ordered by the soldiers to throw away their weapons, they all held their hands above their heads and squatted on the ground.
Looking at the mobs in front, Colonel Casio raised his hand, blew on the muzzle, and said in a cold and contemptuous tone to the stunned staff who had just arrived,
“Clean up the body. He was removed from the list because he soiled the floor of the starship.”
Then he glanced at the group of pioneers squatting on the ground and begging for mercy in a low voice, and said contemptuously,
“Work or be delisted. Make your choice now… Scum!!!”
After witnessing the incident, Fang Linyan narrowed his eyes slightly. The rest of the people could only remain silent under this high pressure. After all, the bloody lesson happened right before them.
Although the chaotic scene was stopped, the scene of Victor being shot was still replayed in front of Fang Linyan. It took him a while to come back to his senses,
“This Victor is wearing a pale golden consortium badge. His relationship with the Star Consortium is probably at least reverence, but he just got headshot without warning?”
“These military people are so ruthless, decisive, and inhumane! Fortunately, we are participating in the so-called Operation Swordfish as support… There is indeed something fishy with this mission!”
Fang Linyan said secretly in his mind.
At the same time, Fang Linyan also recognized the fact that the federal military had the final say. No objective was allowed.
After suppressing the entire audience with brutal killings, Colonel Casio looked around with satisfaction and said,
“Armed combatants exit from the left channel and prepare to board the ship!”
“The logistics personnel lined up according to their numbers, and then entered the cabin one by one from the right channel to prepare for rest and standby!”
“Act now! GOGOGO!”
Hearing the word “boarding”, Fang Linyan and Goat immediately looked at each other, knowing that they might really be tricked by the Star Consortium.
Obviously, Star Consortium was cooking something secretly under the guise of repairing Lakshar, but it was what Fang Linyan wanted!
Under the urging of the armed soldiers, everyone went on separate ways.
Fang Linyan and his team happened to pass by the team of Baseball. Baseball pointed at them with constricted pupils, and then the rest of the team looked over with hostility.
Fang Linyan didn’t seem to care. He just smiled and waved goodbye to them.
Baseball and his team seemed to have been recruited as armed mercenaries, so they had to go first this time.
So Fang Linyan looked at them pitifully like they were the unlucky ones who were forced to enter the minefield to clear the mines.
Before entering the designated temporary cabin, everyone was given a small standard bag by the military police.
This thing could only hold a water bottle at most, and it was also the only bag to store their personal belongings. The rest of their luggage could only be stored and retrieved with a temporary dog tag when they returned.
After the luggage was stored, each person was assigned a standard large military backpack with all the essentials inside.
The contents inside range from thick blankets, 2 changes of clothes, toiletries, first aid kits and temporary rations, etc..
Next to this large military backpack, there was also a filter mask similar to a gas mask.
In the end, each person was given a military wristwatch, which was actually a blank portable optical brain used internally by the military. It was limited in terms of ultra-long-range output signals.
The intention was also very simple. It was let the recruits keep this mission as confidential as possible.
After doing these things, the federal military obviously relaxed its control over them, probably because this group of people had just been strictly screened and they were logistics personnel.
So Goat left the cabin and began to inquire about information.
Soon, he got a lot of useful information, then he said in shock in the team channel,
“Damn, it looks like the Star Consortium is going to play a big game this time! The Operation Swordfish actually used the repair of Lakshar as a guise to organize an elite force to directly attack the headquarters of the Red Barracuda Star Pirates.”
Fang Linyan was surprised by the information, then he asked the key point,
“No wonder this mothership has to be parked in a starport tens of thousands of kilometers away. This should be to cover up this operation.”
“Can you tell me where the headquarters of Red Barracuda Star Pirates is?”
Goat said,
“It’s an asteroid called Moston. To get there, we have to pass through the vast meteorite field, so it’s extremely dangerous! The Red Barracuda Star Pirates rely on their special interstellar shuttle to enter and exit freely.”
“If a large starship forcibly rushes in, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed. Therefore, we can only use ordinary small shuttle ships to deploy the warriors for a ground battle.”
“The information I saw said that there was a small probability event this time. A few unknown mercenaries were able to sneak in using a small modified spacecraft and sent back their coordinate. Boss, guess what I thought of when I saw this message?”
Fang Linyan said without thinking,
“Colony hunter!”
TL: So there are colony hunters on their side?
