Chapter 20 2 Entering the Palace

Planet 5, a geological resource exploration base.

In the command room, Wei Haitao stood behind a row of electronic facilities with a gloomy face, and the two eyebrows on Qing Jun's face were knitted together.

"Not connected yet?"

The correspondent turned his head and nodded in frustration: "No, there is interference."

"It doesn't make sense..." Wei Haitao muttered to himself. He had always been cautious in his work and suddenly had a bad feeling. It stands to reason that after the bald head and others complete the task, they will definitely get in touch with the base as soon as possible, but It's been an hour now, why is there no news?

Could it be that things have changed, and the bald head and others have missed it?

Just as he frowned and thought hard, the radar operator suddenly said loudly: "The radar detected an aircraft approaching the base, is it...is it NS-035?"

At the same time, the correspondent who was frowning earlier also shouted strangely: "Commander, NS-035 has sent a request for a pit stop."

"Let them go..." Wei Haitao said halfway through and swallowed the following words.

He suddenly thought of a creepy possibility: "Order the base to prepare for the second-level combat readiness, lock all artillery on NS-035, and send a communication request."

Everyone in the command room was stunned for a moment, followed by a flurry of chickens and dogs.

Everyone is not a fool, and after a slight change of mind, they figured out Wei Haitao's intentions.

One second, two seconds...

"Bah." Snowflakes flashed on the video screen of the communication station, and Tang Fang's face appeared in front of everyone in the command room.

"Didn't the bald head mean he died?" Wei Haitao's expression changed, his eyes were as cold as a cold winter.

As for the others, feel at ease. After all, Tang Yan is a member of the base. Since he is in the helicopter, the situation may not be as bad as imagined.

Wei Haitao stared at the video screen coldly: "Where's Kovas? And what about the other people in the second row?"

The Kovas in his mouth is the bald guy whose head has moved, and the people in the second row, like Thomas and Konda, are all his confidants.

"died."

Tang Fang's reply immediately caused an uproar, and everyone looked at each other in dismay. The nimble female intelligence officer couldn't handle the unfinished work at hand, and ran out quickly. Since human beings entered the cosmic civilization, the army's establishment has been slightly reduced. Generally, 24-30 people are the standard configuration for a platoon. Today, a total of 27 people died. If you add Thomas and Kangda who were killed in battle a few days ago, except for Tang Fang. In addition, the second row has been wiped out. If such a big incident occurs, it must be reported to the commander-in-chief of the base immediately!

Wei Haitao slowly narrowed his eyes, his temperament changed, his eyes were cold like a poisonous snake locking on its prey. He doesn't know how Kovas and others died, but now is a great opportunity to take the opportunity to kill Tang Fang: "Artilleryman, shoot down the helicopter for me."

What does he mean? Is it possible to suspect that Tang Yan did this? Everyone in the command room was shocked.

The gunner hesitated, but pressed the lock button of the fire control system.

On the other hand, on the sand scorpion armed transport helicopter.

Eva looked at the dark defensive artillery on the high wall around the base, her face pale with fright. Howson and Byron also had ugly faces, and they couldn't understand why he, the military's own person, would instead be self-defeating and fall into a desperate situation.

With the defensive power of the base, a salvo came down, and everyone in the helicopter was afraid that there would be no slag left.

"Hold on,

Look at this first, before making a decision. "In front of the cabin communication station, Tang Fang quickly passed a video.

A scene flashed on the monitor in the command room of the base, and dozens of aliens leaped and took off, dividing and surrounding the marines in front of the helicopter. The swirling sharp claws were like small meat grinders. , all twenty-five marines were killed.

The command room was silent, the men frowned unconsciously, and several female soldiers were pale, trying to endure the violent churn in their chests.

Wei Haitao's face was also not good-looking. He thought that Kovas and others were killed by him and those prisoners, but he did not expect the real culprits to be those aliens.

"Captain Wei, this time you know who the real enemy is." The screen flashed again, and Tang Fang's figure appeared in the corner of the video screen.

Even if Wei Haitao wanted to get rid of him again, he knew that it was impossible now, so he could only grit his teeth and ordered: "Open the take-off and landing platform and let them down."

Everyone in the helicopter breathed a sigh of relief. Byron squinted at the young man in front of the communication station who had a calm face from beginning to end, and a chill suddenly appeared in his heart. This kid is too shrewd. It seems that the reactions of those in the base are all in his mind. As expected.

Killing the marines and grabbing the sand scorpion armed transport helicopter is the first step, and sneaking through the border and entering the base is the second step. What is the third step, is it to occupy the entire base? But what to do after that? Without a space vehicle, it would be a mortal situation.

Along the way, Byron thought a lot, but he couldn't guess what Tang Fang planned.

...

The real commander of the base was a tall German in his 30s, after the imperial nobles, with the rank of major, his full name was Clapham Christian.

In recent years, the empire has been wielding military force, and its territory has expanded rapidly. On the issues of sovereignty, economic zones, and the ownership of some resource stars, it has successively fought with some surrounding countries, and then there are riots and wars. After a major battle was over, the total number of casualties was in the hundreds of thousands, including a large number of middle and grassroots officers.

Take Clapham, for example, with his rank of major, the regular configuration should be a commander at the battalion level, but he was willing to be a company commander on this barren Planet 5. After all, in this age of gunpowder, only being alive is the most important thing.

When Tang Fang took Aros, Zhou Ai and others off the sand scorpion armed transport helicopter, he was rushing over with a team of heavily armed marines.

"Hello, Commander." When he approached, Tang Fang saluted without looking sideways.

Clapham nodded expressionlessly: "Mission accomplished?"

Tang Fang took out the PDA that recorded the resource data: "Yes, the data is inside."

Clapham took it and handed it to a researcher behind him. When his eyes swept across Aros, Zhou Ai and the others behind him, his face became a little gloomy: "What the hell is going on with those aliens?"

Just as Tang Fang was about to answer, Wei Haitao suddenly led two people over, pointing at Eva and said, "Don't talk, let her talk."

Clapham frowned and said nothing.

Eva looked at Tang Fang, and then at Wei Haitao, who had a dead father's expression in front of her. She twitched for a while, but then said vaguely: "Sand... there are aliens hidden under the dunes, those people are... all dead. already."

"Then how did you survive?" Wei Haitao asked again.

"This..." Eva didn't dare to look directly at his murderous gaze, and said hesitantly, "I... we hide away."

"You lied." Wei Haitao sneered: "You hide away? What happened to Kovas' report to the base?"

Eva glanced at Zhou Ai beside Tang Fang, and suddenly Fuzhi said in a heartfelt voice: "Everyone split up, we were the last to escape from the crypt, so we were a step late, and happened to witness the scene of the alien smashing out of the yellow sand, and just avoided a moment. robbery."

"Huh?" Wei Haitao's expression froze. He was not present at the time, and he was not sure whether she was among the people who were handing over to Kovas. Eva said this, she really couldn't find a reason to refute.

"Commander, since the task explained above has been completed, is my punishment..." Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Fang changed the subject and brought it to the issue of the military's punishment of him.

"Well, that's it..." Clapham and Tang Fang had no grudges, and they didn't know what Xiao Jiu Jiu was in Wei Haitao's heart. One thing is worse than one less thing. He wanted to let this matter go smoothly, but looking at Byron, Zhou Ai and others behind him, he was a little embarrassed.

Brigadier General Ryan of the Langton star system had implicitly expressed to him that he did not want these prisoners to walk out of Planet 5 alive.

On the one hand, under the watchful eyes of the public, as a company commander, he went back on his word, and the words of killing the donkey would damage his prestige. On the other hand, he had to do it because of the pressure of the peak. Clapham was in a dilemma for a while.

Wei Haitao is not only cautious, but also a thoughtful guy. Without waiting for Clapham to speak, he directly ordered the soldiers behind him: "Take them to the prison first, and keep them under custody. After the special operations team has completed the investigation of the battle scene, they will analyze the results. It's not too late to deal with them as a result."

"Yes." His confidant took the lead behind him, stepped forward, and put the gun against Tang Fang's back.

"Humph." Coldly swept over a few people, Tang Fang didn't say much, and walked to the prison area.

From the back, Clapham gave Wei Haitao a displeased look, then turned and took people away.
