Doomsday Totem

Chapter 254 Assassination
Three hours before the dawn of victory...

In the night, on the vast and boundless Gobi Desert, a mighty convoy appeared.Looking closer, I saw the wide rubber tires crushing heavily on the dry and hard ground, and flung a large amount of gravel and red dust to the rear.

The convoy is mainly composed of dozens of large rear eight-wheel trucks, and judging from the indentations on the tires, these trucks are all fully loaded.In front of the convoy was a jeep with its awning open.This jeep has eight large wheels side by side. It is a jeep dedicated to the head of the Academy Corps. It is manufactured by Central Heavy Industries. It has durable leather and reliable performance. The model is "Monster".

At this moment, in the back seat of the monster jeep, there are two young men wearing the second generation of psionic power armor.

"Captain Edward, thank you again for your reminder. If we had stayed there, the entire army might have been wiped out by now." Said the young man in the right seat of the jeep.

"They're all good friends, as they should be." Edward Sosh waved his hand and said.

"But... where are we going now? Why do I feel that this is not the direction of Sandcastle..." the young man asked hesitantly.

"We are taking a detour..." Edward turned sideways, stared at the other party, and explained seriously, "You have to know, the scale of this bug swarm is not small, and the Wind and Sand Castle will definitely send reinforcements, after all, it is the Temple The princess's fortress, so we have to detour, otherwise we may be temporarily recruited when we encounter reinforcements, which is troublesome, isn't it?"

The young man pondered for a while, then gave a thumbs up and sighed: "Captain Edward, you have considered the issue comprehensively, and I apologize for my rashness."

"We are all brothers, don't be polite to me." Edward patted each other on the shoulder and said boldly.

About half an hour later, under the guidance of Edward Socie, the convoy drove into a sparse Dead Sea aspen forest.

After driving for a while, Edward suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and gave an order: "Stop the car and rest where you are for 15 minutes."

Then, the convoy came to a slow stop, and Edward got out of the car, twisted his neck, and stretched his arms.The other group leader followed, looked around the dark dead sea poplar forest, and suggested: "I feel a bit gloomy here, let's leave early."

"Okay..." Before he finished speaking, Edward suddenly raised his pistol and pulled the trigger continuously at the young regiment leader who was close at hand.The latter reacted extremely quickly, and the moment the former fired, he turned around and rushed to the side.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" All three bullets hit the back of the power armor, and there was a clanging sound immediately, and sparks flew everywhere.

The young regiment leader rolled several times in a row on the sand, then quickly put on the helmet of the power armor, got up, and asked loudly, "Edward! What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I just want to introduce you to a big man." Edward put on his helmet and looked at the young leader and said.

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing?" The young leader looked around at the swarm of insects and asked sharply.He is wearing the second generation of spiritual power armor, which has extremely high protection. After wearing the helmet, ordinary bullets can't cause effective damage to him at all, and he can leave at any time through the air, so he is not panicking at this moment. What's more, he is not afraid of Captain Edward, who is also a fourth-level psyker.

"A new era is coming, friend, I just want to give you a hand." Edward said calmly.As soon as the words fell, dust suddenly rose around the convoy.Under the dim starlight, the crickets crawled out of the soil, shook off the soil from their bodies, opened their bloody mouths, and let out ear-piercing neighing.

The soldiers in the rear sensed the abnormality, raised their guns, and jumped off the truck.

"Calm down, don't shoot, they won't attack us." Edward picked up the walkie-talkie and said.

"You...you turned to the swarm!" The young leader pointed at Edward and said in horror.

"So what?" Edward asked.

"Edward! You're really crazy!" While speaking, the young regiment leader leaned over and jumped, and two blue flames spewed out from behind, immediately soaring into the sky.However, just a few meters away from the ground, an invisible force crashed down and exploded in his mind.He suddenly screamed and fell from the sky.

At this moment, his brain seemed to be pierced by thousands of needles. The extreme pain caused him to lose all resistance, and he desperately rolled and struggled on the ground holding his head.

After a while, the pain gradually dissipated and he regained his sanity.But when he raised his head again, at some time, there was a "female" in the open space in front of him.

This woman was unusually tall, covered in crimson carapace, reflecting a bright luster in the night.She is beautiful, but this beauty has a suffocating enchantment.It seemed that what stood in front of him was not a human being, but a demon.

"Surrender, or die." She asked lightly.

"This is the great Crimson Queen, Your Majesty Serazar." Edward half-kneeled on the ground, and introduced to the young captain.

"Are you the Seraphim in the legend, Thrazer Casey?" the young captain asked, staring at her.

"Presumptuous! Did you call Her Majesty the Queen?" Edward's face changed, and he shouted sharply.

"Well, that's my former name." Sarazer raised his hand, motioning for Edward to step back.She needs to win over the psykers among the human beings and form her own "Queen's Guard".

In the gene chain of the bee and ant swarm, the queens who have reached the gold level will awaken a special gene. This special gene can enable the queens to produce a small number of elite combat units, and this kind of unit is called the queens guard. .

However, compared to the queen bee and the queen ant, the special genes of the queen's awakening are somewhat different, because the females of most intelligent creatures are unwilling to directly give birth to combat units, and they are usually completed by the subordinate masters.Therefore, the special gene awakened by the queen is usually not related to fertility.

Although Saraze is the queen of the crimson rank, she was originally a holy rank of human beings, so she awakened a special gene many years ago.Her special ability is called "infection". As the name suggests, she can use her own swarm genes to erode and infect alien creatures, and improve their combat capabilities by changing their body structure.

"You were originally a human, but why did you join the insect swarm and become the object of scolding by thousands of people?" The young leader stood up and asked in a deep voice.

"In my opinion, human beings are inferior creatures that are best at betraying their own kind, reptiles that live in the carbon life zone." Sarazer said calmly, "Let me ask you, are insects human?"

"Yes, they are human beings, but you are no longer!" The young regiment leader gritted his teeth and replied.

"But why were they abandoned by their kind and lived a miserable life?" asked Sarazer.

"That's the temple, they don't represent all of humanity."

"Okay..." Saraze said in a helpless tone, as if he had been persuaded, and then smiled at the young leader, and the eyebrows and eyes were full of charm, full of irresistible temptation.Then, she casually tossed her long dark red hair, and asked softly, "Young man, let's move to another place and discuss this issue slowly, you say... okay?"

"Go to hell!" Suddenly, a blue light appeared in the eyes of the young leader, and with a loud shout, he rushed towards Seraze!

The latter frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to grab it casually, while the former froze immediately, standing straight on the spot, motionless.

"One last time you ask, surrender, or die?" Saraze asked blankly.

"Bah! Traitor! Human betrayal..." In the middle of speaking, the voice stopped abruptly, and the head of the young regiment leader suddenly exploded, and the broken bones and soft tissues immediately filled the entire helmet. It seeped out from the gaps in it, forming shocking lines of blood...

Seraze shook off the limp corpse, opened her red lips lightly, and said only one word: "Kill." Following her order, a flood of crickets rushed towards the convoy from all directions.In an instant, gunshots, yelling, hissing, and wailing mixed together, breaking the silence before dawn...

At the same time, at the other end of Seth's Gate, in a small floating silver city with countless crimson long banners hanging upside down in the north of Quicksand Town, in the underground interrogation room of a 50-storey building, two torturers The official was looking at a middle-aged man covered in welts and bruised.The middle-aged man was about 40 to [-] years old, short in stature and slightly fat. He was tied to a large iron cross with his head bowed, as if he was dying.

"I don't think you can beat him any more. If you beat him again, you will die." The torture officer standing on the left said.

"I really can't see it, a businessman who is looking for profit has such a hard mouth." The torture officer on the right sighed.

"Anyway, let's hand in the report first, at least we now know that he is from the Northern Wilderness and was born in Tieshan Town." The torturer on the left said.

Moments later, two interrogators handed the report to a blond major.

After reading the report, Field frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to the two interrogators: "Go and check the aircraft leasing records of the Academy Alliance to see who is connected to Iron Mountain Town."

"I obey." The two interrogators responded in unison, and then left the office.

It didn't take long for them to log in to the terminal of the Academy Alliance, find out the flight records of Porcupine, Match, and Tuoba three leased aircraft to Tieshan Town in the Northern Wilderness, and then reported it to Major Field.

"We have checked, and these three people are members of the Wolf Clan Legion, subordinates of Captain Sacha."

"It seems that Biqinglan didn't lie to us this time..." Field pondered for a while, waved his hand lightly, and gave an order: "Send someone to catch him immediately, the sooner the better."

"Sir, according to the information, Sa Chacha is from the War Bear Temple. We currently have insufficient evidence. If we arrest him like this, will it cause..." an interrogator hesitated.

"Well..." Field thought for a while, and said, "It's true that we can't just catch him like this, but General Eugene is pressing very hard, and we must complete the task as soon as possible."

"Sir, although the evidence collected so far is not enough to convict Sa Chacha through normal procedures, but for our expeditionary force, the evidence is enough to convince General Eugene." Another interrogator analyzed .

"Hmm..." Field pondered for a long time, raised his head and said, "Send four experienced people to the chasing apron of the Central Silver City Military Academy to wait, and once they find Sa Chacha's whereabouts, they will kill them immediately. "

"I obey." The two interrogators saluted and turned to leave.When they got to the door, Field stopped them again, and said in a more emphatic tone: "Be clean."

"Yes!" "Definitely!" The two interrogators bowed again and left the office.
