Chapter 265 The Price of Freedom

Nolan looked at the enemy aircraft hit on the screen and the signal points that disappeared on the radar, and checked again and again.

After confirming that there were no enemy planes outside, he secretly let out a sigh of relief with trembling hands.

Gu Lincheng looked at the orderly and calm young man and walked in.

Seeing him, everyone in the command center stood up and saluted. "Sir!"

Nolan is the same, only his back is straighter. "Report sir, the enemy has been cleared!"

Gu Lincheng ignored him.

He walked to the holographic screen and looked back at the battle records.

And his silence made the adjutant, who had commanded a battle just after taking office, feel even more uncertain.

Gu Lincheng looked back at the video carefully and fixed an aircraft. "Do you know who the other party is?"

Nolan replied angrily: "Report sir, it's a predator outside the city!"

"Where did the Predator get the aircraft?"

This……

Gu Lincheng didn't look at him, and said to Benjamin, "Ask someone to check."

"Good sir."

"Are these civilian aircraft?" Gu Lincheng said, zooming in on the aircraft to see the model at the bottom.

Benjamin said: "Sir, it's a civil reform aircraft."

Civil improvements.

Gu Lincheng asked: "Is there this technology outside the city?"

"If you want to have aircraft outside the city, it is not one or two steps faster to attack the empire, but one or two years."

Following these words, Shi Yan entered the command center and looked at the people inside.

She woke up when Gu Lincheng pulled herself away, but it was too embarrassing at that time, so she continued to pretend to be asleep.

But there were machine guns and missiles outside, so I couldn't lie down and come out to have a look.

It's a good thing she's here, otherwise these people in the city will accuse the people outside the city again.

Gu Lincheng looked at the girl who directly denied his guess, and said to Benjamin: "Notify Anna, tell them to go down and have a look."

Shi Yan said, "I'll go too."

"Follow Anna, don't run around."

"Good sir."

The conversation was so peaceful that it didn't seem like it would happen in this serious command center.

Benjamin and others are not surprised, and wish for it.

As long as the chief is in a good mood, no matter what he does, the big guys don't mind.

Nolan saw that the commander hadn't looked directly at him since he came in, and when the time came out, he said straight and straight: "I didn't deal with it comprehensively this time, please punish me, sir!"

Gu Lincheng sat on the chair, looking at the young man calmly with his light gray eyes.

He was silent for a while and then asked: "Who allowed you to order the attack without authorization?"

Although the low and cold voice with metallic texture was a non-angry rhetorical question, it inexplicably made people feel a burst of panic rising from the soles of their feet.

Ultra vires!

And it's his successor, Yue's commander.

Nolan said nervously and truthfully: "Return to sir, I'm afraid to disturb your rest! And I can deal with these enemies again!"

Gu Lincheng looked at him, and tapped on the table with his slender fingers with well-defined knuckles.

What he did was more like knocking on Nolan's heart, which was extremely tense, and made him very tormented.

"Major Nolan, do you understand that in the Special Mission Department, everything you do and everyone you kill is by default authorized by me."

"understand!"

"Do you think now, in this possible conflict with civilians or even the homeless outside the city, is my rest more important, or my decision-making?"

"Your decision matters!"

After Nolan made a growling voice from his chest, the command center fell into a strange silence, only the slight beeping sound from the equipment.

Gu Lincheng looked at the young major who was unabashed and brave enough to admit his mistakes.

After a while, he said: "The aspect of commanding operations is not bad."

This reversal left Nolan wondering how to respond.

Gu Lincheng is indeed satisfied with his ability to fight, but what he said before is also true.

Let him know that when encountering such a thing that involves two parties fighting, let alone a rest, even on the operating table, you have to ask your superiors for instructions.

Including when he becomes a commander in the future, he must carefully consider every issue and the consequences of doing so.

Gu Lincheng cursed and cursed, praised and praised, and then said: "Be careful next time."

Nolan said solemnly, "It's the officer!"
-
Shi Yan and Anna took the suspension car and returned to the sky above the aircraft that was knocked down by the cannon.

With the huge commotion and decision-making delay, when they arrived, the ground was already surrounded by zombies and mutated beasts.

A huge, mildly rotting wolf was found, standing majesticly above the aircraft.

It was looking for the entrance of this iron guy, but suddenly it smelled something and looked up, then howled towards the sky.

This howling caught the attention of the nearby zombies, causing them to reach out to the sky, as if trying to pull them down.

Anna looked around for forms. "It's very dangerous, so don't go down."

Zhou Zhike drove the car around the aircraft.

He stopped in front of the cockpit of the aircraft, looked at the equipment inside through the front window, and said with certainty: "It's a civil reform aircraft, but I'm not sure if it has the function of carrying weapons."

Shi Yan lay on the car window, looking at the howling wolves on the roof of the aircraft, and at the front glass of the cockpit, which was already covered with cracks and would crack at any time.

The pilot in the cockpit was dead, and things were falling everywhere from the impact.

Among some messy old objects, there is a shiny thing lying.

Shi Yan looked at the dilapidated and only reflective thing other than the glass, and said to Zhou Zhike, "Wait for me."

After speaking, he jumped down.

The wolf on the aircraft, seeing the food that jumped down, opened its mouth wide, revealing its sharp fangs.

Shi Yan drew his knife, cut its mouth open, and then kicked it down.

The falling wolves caused a wave of excitement among the zombies, and it might also be the food that was close at hand, which made them start to climb up crazily.

Shi Yan glanced at the surrounding situation, kicked open the windshield of the cab without hesitation, and jumped in.

Seeing this, Anna said to the people in the car: "Cover, don't let the zombies go up."

Zhou Zhike and the others quickly raised their guns, aimed at the zombies below, and shot some that were about to climb up.

But the number of zombies was really too much, they were crowded layer by layer, and soon surged up from all directions, crawling towards the cockpit.

And when Shi Yan jumped into the cab, just as he was about to pick up the reflective object, he felt something like raising a knife to block the flying bullets.

There are still people alive!

No wonder the wolf wanted to come in.

Shi Yan stood still, looking at the dark cabin that had lost power, moved his hand back slowly, and touched a piece of broken glass on the bridge.

The people inside were probably extremely panicked and frightened, and they leaned out and fired a second shot after a short wait.

And Shi Yan threw out the glass in his hand when the other party moved, even before he leaned out the door.

The glass that flew through the air into the night reflected a faint white light as it shot through the door at the last moment.

Under the bright light, Shi Yan was stunned when he saw the child who was younger than him inside.

Just when she was stunned, the light dimmed, and the sharp glass pierced into the other person's forehead.

Shi Yan clenched his fists when he heard the heavy object inside fall to the ground.

At this time, Anna shouted from above: "Little Yuzai, get out!"

Then a rope came down.

Shi Yan reacted, quickly picked up the things on the ground, and grabbed the rope beside him.

When the hover car was rising, Anna and her teammates attacked, shooting continuously at the zombies around the cab.

Under the cover of everyone's firepower, Shi Yan raised his hands to cover his head.

She is mainly used to block the bullet casings that fall from above.

It hurts to be hit.

Leaving the aircraft, Shi Yan didn't return to the car, she was hanging in the air.

She looked at the boundless forest under her feet, closed her eyes and felt the gentleness of the wind passing through her body, feeling as free as flying and relieved.

Zhou Zhike drove the car into the Long Eagle, and helped pull the rope to pull the people who were still outside.

Shi Yan grabs Anna's hand and is dragged onto the aircraft by her.

When all of them came back, the passageway slowly closed.

Anna, Zhou Zhike and others surrounded the girl who was going on an adventure.

Shi Yan: ...?
Anna picked her chin with a hand wearing a combat glove, and asked with a smile: "Little Yuzai, what precious things did you pick up, show us quickly."

That's what happened.

Shi Yan took out the things in his pocket.

It is a watch, dotted with colorful diamonds around it, making it no longer a tool for telling time, but a luxury item.

At this time, a soldier asked suspiciously: "Madam, are you taking the risk just to make money?"

Anna backhanded her elbow and bumped him on the stomach.

The soldier groaned in pain and shut up.

Shi Yan listened to Da Bing's words and explained to them. "They are indeed marauders out of town. But marauders don't spend so much money on a watch."

People who can carry such a gorgeous watch will not go out of the city, and they must be accompanied by many bodyguards when they go out of the city.

So if they didn't snatch it, someone gave it to them.

Shi Yan got up and went to look for Gu Lincheng.

Gu Lincheng looked at his watch and gave it to Nolan. "Find the owner of this watch."

ha?Find the owner of this watch?
Although watches are expensive, there is no shortage of rich people in the empire. Finding them is like finding a needle in a haystack.

But it's not entirely impossible.This watch is a well-known luxury item, and it also has batch coding, which narrows down the scope a lot.In addition, anyone who consumes luxury goods has a real-name record, so it is still possible to find its owner if you spend a little more thought.

Gu Lincheng seemed to have given Major Christie Nolan a tricky task, but it was also a matter of admitting that he was his adjutant.

Nolan responded directly when everyone was surprised. "Yes, sir."

He put the watch in a sealed bag, and contacted the information department to deal with the matter.

Gu Lincheng looked at the girl who did not obey the captain's arrangement and acted without authorization.

Shi Yan didn't know what was wrong with him yet, and was waiting to be praised.

After seeing her, Gu Lincheng said, "You did a good job this time, don't do it next time."

Shi Yan frowned and thought for a long time. "Sir, what do you mean by that?"

She doesn't read much and can't understand.

When Banjamin and the other soldiers heard her words, they couldn't help but hold back their laughter.

Gu Lincheng explained patiently: "Anna is your captain, you have to report to her what you do. You can only do it if she agrees."

"Oh."

"In action, she is your superior and must be absolutely obeyed."

"Ah."

Shi Yan thought about it seriously, and looked at Gu Lincheng who seemed to be easy to talk about now. "Sir, can I apply to be captain?"

Gu Lincheng asked back: "Why don't I let you be the commander?"

"No, no, no." After Shi Yan finished speaking, he said, "It's nothing, I'll go out first."

The soldiers looked at the lady who was disgusted from the bottom of their hearts, and they didn't miss the lady who had gone away at all, and their heads were full of question marks.

Isn't this commander more fragrant than the captain?

And Gu Lincheng waited for the girl to leave and said, "Full speed ahead."

"Yes, sir!"
-
Although the Long Eagle was delayed for a little time on the way, when it finally arrived at the No. 3 site, it was only [-] minutes later than originally planned.

The site selection of No. [-] is the same as that seen in the above plan, and there are many hidden dangers. The biggest hidden danger is that there are lush jungles all around. To clean them up requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the terrain is not very ideal.

Gu Lincheng did not let him land, circled in the sky, and went directly to the second plan.

Both the second and third plans had different problems, and after looking around, I went to the fourth plan.

The last one, which was also preferred by the special mission department and the upper management at last night's meeting, was by Wanqing Lake not far from Shengcheng.

The lake is a plain with good terrain.

This not only meets the requirements of the upper level for the environment, but also meets the defense requirements of the special mission department.

Large-scale construction will definitely attract zombies and wild beasts. If the terrain is not good, it will increase the difficulty of defense and affect the construction process.

In addition, there is no end to it, which is the temporarily closed Shengcheng.

There are no zombies or dangers in Shengcheng anymore, but the damage is more serious. In addition, there was a serious occupation accident there. Some people felt that Feng Shui was not good, so the empire abandoned it.

However, the Special Mission Department can build a temporary base there to build a temporary and comfortable residence for talents from all walks of life who come to build the new city, which will help to promote the efficiency of the new city construction.

Gu Lincheng waited for the Long Eagle to collect the environmental video of the fourth plan, send it to the upper level for confirmation, and then let Xing Xing land.

In fact, it doesn't matter which of these four plans Gu Lincheng chooses, and there are ways to overcome them.

It's just that there are many people who want to participate in the construction of the new city, and there are many opinions. Either it is not good here or there is not good.

When they were about to quarrel, and there were people waiting for him to go home last night, Gu Lincheng didn't want to waste time and said to come and see the scene in person, so that they could have a deeper understanding of these four places before making a decision.

Otherwise, they will discuss and discuss at the conference table, and probably wait until the day of his death, and the site selection has not yet been finalized.

So Gu Lincheng came out this time to determine the location.

If the location of this new city is not decided, he will not go back, and see if the people in the empire are in a hurry.

And Shi Yan, who has been flying for two consecutive days, is no longer airsick when he sees that he has to stay in this beautiful place.

Wait for the aircraft to stop.

Shi Yan followed Anna and the others out of the Long Eagle. Standing on the grass looking at a vast green plain, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, and fell backwards with his arms outstretched.

Gu Lincheng, who got off the car with Nolan, saw it and waved her before she touched the ground to slow her down.

Although there are thick vegetation and grass here, but she is such a big person, it will still hurt if she falls.

Nolan looked at Gu Lincheng, who was trying to control the speed of the girl's fall, and asked curiously: "Sir, you love Madam more than we know, why don't you let her know?"

Gu Lincheng looked at the lake with rising waves. "Because I want her to be free all the time."

"Freedom has a price."

Freedom does require a price, but Gu Lincheng can afford it.

Seeing that he was silent, Nolan thoughtfully did not continue the conversation.
