Chapter 44 Failure

April [-]st is April Fool's Day, the annual carnival of tricks.Fake news is overwhelming on the Internet, and pranks are pervasive, and you will get caught if you are not careful.Everyone was laughing and joking, no matter whether they were being tricked or being tricked, they all had a wonderful time.

Of course, this extravagant happiness only exists for the vast majority of citizens. The battle situation at Base No. [-] is still stalemate, the pungent smell lingers in the whole city, the UN troops cannot move forward, and Colonel Luther's temper is getting worse.

On April Fool's Day, the news that the United Nations withdraws its troops and releases Base No. [-] to its independence is widely circulated. It is so well said that many people believe it to be true. It was not until the spokesperson of the coalition government came forward to clarify.

In the camp, Colonel Luther had a gloomy face, browsing the comments on the Internet irritably, feeling more and more depressed as he read it, and slapped the table hard.

"Colonel, your phone number." His personal guard saluted and pointed to the communication platform.

Colonel Luther strode forward, put on the earphones, and said "Hello". He didn't know what was said there, and his expression became extremely respectful. "You all get out," he waved to disperse all the soldiers present.

After a few more days, the tragic resistance of Base No. [-] began to attract more and more sympathy. Although there were still a small number of people who supported their independence, the proportion of those who opposed the "Segregation Act" gradually increased.

On this day, the residents of Base No. 3 organized a parade spontaneously. The scale was not small, and the traffic was blocked.Chen Jian received the call and hurried out.Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Yang Zhou winked at Andrew and told him to get D[-] out as well.

D3 is so coaxing, after a while the two robots happily went out, saying they were going to find Eric.The villa quickly became quiet, except for the occasional crackling sound of the firewood in the fireplace.

Yang Zhou waited for a while before entering the study, and locked the door cautiously.He activated the trapdoor in the corner following the mechanism he had found before, and tucked his hands and feet in.

The secret passage is very narrow, only one person can pass through, and the air is not very circulated. The smell left over from many years is mixed and fermented, and it smells like rotten fallen leaves.The lighting range of the strip fluorescent lights is also limited, barely making out the rough and uneven stone steps.Yangzhou was on guard all over, and walked cautiously against the concrete wall, estimating the approximate position while walking.In such a narrow and cramped environment, time easily loses its meaning. After walking for a long time, there are always bumpy steps under his feet, and he becomes restless, and even begins to have illusions, as if this road is endless...

Yang Zhou shook his head, reminding himself to concentrate.He raised his wrist to look at his watch, and found that only a quarter of an hour had passed, he was slightly relieved.After walking in the dark for a while, the secret passage finally came to an end—it was an inconspicuous small door.

Yangzhou stepped forward to hold the curved doorknob, the coolness of the metal made people sober.The door wasn't locked, and he pulled it open with a little effort—the bright white light came in, making the eyes accustomed to the dark close reflexively.

Yang Zhou quickly put his hand over his brow bone, squinted his eyes and looked at the scene inside the door - it was indeed a laboratory with some instruments he didn't know, and the cold white light shone faintly, quiet but eerie.

He observed for a while, but saw no one, so he opened the secret door and walked in.

This laboratory is quite large, and it is connected to several small rooms with closed doors. Yangzhou tried to turn the knob, but he couldn't open it, so he had to give up, and turned back to study those strange-shaped instruments—some of them could guess the purpose. , and some are confused.

Yangzhou looked at them one by one, but found no clues, so he tapped the liquid nitrogen bottle in his hand helplessly, straightened up and looked around, swept his gaze, and stopped for a moment in the southwest corner of the room.

There was a wooden table with a rectangular metal box on it, and a microscope next to it.Yang Zhou was curious, and took a closer look. There was a small bronze plate in the lower right corner of the metal box, with the words "B75" engraved on it.

Something dormant suddenly awakened, and an electric current rushed through the spine, making Yang Zhou tremble.He hurried to the microscope, adjusted the focus clumsily, and observed the situation in the box.

This should be a constant temperature bacterial incubator, with several empty culture media scattered around inside, like a chessboard that was forgotten.

Where did the cultivated things go?

Yangzhou's upper body was lying on the table, squinting one eye and staring at the microscope intently, turning the lens with his hand, and didn't notice someone approaching behind him at all.

He smelled a strange but familiar smell at the tip of his nose, subconsciously wrinkled his nose and took two breaths. Just as he realized what this meant, the next second, the scene in front of him suddenly blurred into large mottled patches of color, and all the strength in his body evaporated. , hands and feet are as soft as noodles, unable to stand or hold on.Yang Zhou panicked, his consciousness lost even faster, before he even had time to turn around, he suddenly fell down, like a menacing torrential rain.

At the last moment, he felt himself falling into a firm embrace, the man's stubble grazed his neck, and the faint aroma of tobacco lingered on his body.

"My God, he actually found this place." Dr. Simon was terrified when he encountered such a scene when he came to the laboratory. "Fortunately, we transferred B75."

"The transfer is not to prevent him." Chen Jian hugged Yang Zhou by the waist, and the person in his arms fell asleep, with slightly long black hair covering his eyebrows and eyes, looking gentle and harmless, and very obedient.He couldn't help but tighten his arms even more, as if to make up for the strangeness and desire during this period.

"But he has already found out. I guess he is very opposed to your plan." Dr. Simon winked and smiled as if he had found something interesting, "What are you going to do with him?"

Chen Jian looked down at the person in his arms, with suppressed fanaticism and trembling excitement in his eyes.Having not been close for too long, such a real weight and body temperature made him feel like a dream.He just stood there for a while, thinking about something, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Shut up."

Dr. Simon smirked and wanted to make a joke. At this time, he saw Chen Jian's expression, which was gloomy and eager, as if he loved something to the extreme and couldn't help but want to destroy it. His eyes widened in fright, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were all smoothed out.

The child he watched grow up finally met the sweetheart who made him love and hurt him.Old Simon, like all fathers, was relieved, terrified, worried, and self-pitying.He glanced at Chen Jian, who was a young man, and then at his withered hands, sighed silently in his heart, but there was a teasing smile on his face, "It seems that you really like him."

He didn't know that the two were brothers, so he was naturally surprised by Chen Jian's complicated and strong feelings.Chen Jian didn't respond, he used his hands hard, shrugged Yang Zhou up like he was holding a child, and said to Dr. Simon: "You should be careful recently."

"I know." Old Simon shook his head and expressed his puzzlement, "Fang Xing is also considered to be the one I watched growing up, but I really don't understand him. How can a person be cruel and naive at the same time? Bernard from Base [-] It's amazing how long it lasted..."

Old Simon turned his head, Chen Jian had already disappeared in the underground labyrinth with many twists and turns.The sigh in his chest finally came out, "Really... I'm the only one left."

He didn't expect that at the same time he was praising Bernard, the situation of the confrontation at the gate of the No. [-] base was being broken.

"Do you understand?" Colonel Luther paced in front of the temporarily transferred soldiers, "Any more questions?"

"Sir," after a moment of silence, the shortest soldier said hesitantly, "I want to ask..."

Colonel Luther obviously couldn't stand his hesitant manner, and stared, "Say!"

"If we are allowed to pretend to be civilians in the base, will we be accidentally injured when the UN troops attack..." After the soldier finished speaking, he couldn't help shrinking his shoulders, as if he was ashamed of his timidity.

"There are always casualties in war! Whether you are standing among civilians or beside your comrades, bullets don't catch eyes." Colonel Luther reprimanded with a black face, "Just be smart John! You can't die! As a soldier Where did the blood go? To fight for the country makes you so afraid?"

"I...I..." John felt the contemptuous gazes of his companions piercing him like needles. He blushed even more, and hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, "I promise to complete the task!"

"Go!" Colonel Luther waved his hand, "The plan is absolutely confidential, understand?"

Fifteen people quietly walked out of the tent, just as Richard, Colonel Luther's personal guard, brought lunch for him.

"Sir," Richard asked in a low voice, "would you like to tell the brothers on the front line to just make a show and scatter the civilians, and don't really fight..."

"Of course not. Can you scare those idiots by showing off?" Colonel Luther drank freshly ground coffee and told the "news" that would appear in the newspapers soon: "Base No. [-] sent an armed team, disguised as The civilians launched a sneak attack, and our side fought back bravely, killing them all. Of course, in this melee, some of our brothers were also killed. They fought for the country and their spirit will live forever. The coalition government will never forget these warriors."

If you don't look at Colonel Luther's expression, these remarks are really shocking and tearful.Richard swallowed his saliva. Although he knew the content of the plan a long time ago, he still felt cold hands and feet at this moment, and said dryly: "This..."

Colonel Luther glanced at him lightly: "You will never learn to shut up, will you? Do you want to pretend to be a civilian?"

Richard's face was pale, and he quickly raised his hand to swear: "I can! I can! Sir!"

On April [-], the United Nations troops harassed Base No. [-] more frequently.All kinds of non-lethal artillery shells continued to explode among the civilians defending the city, thick smoke filled a radius of [-] meters, and the smell was unpleasant.Beth, a Jewish girl, stood in the front row. Even though she covered her mouth and nose with a wet tissue, she was so stimulated that her eyes were red and she kept crying.

Surrounded by swearing, crying, and coughing, the queue was surrounded by white smoke, and even those who were close at hand could not see their faces clearly.Regardless of the pain in her lungs about to explode, Beth warned everyone to stick to their positions and not to retreat.

She is the leader of today's city defense team, full of enthusiasm for defending the new country, leading a group of boys and girls to bravely face the heavily armed United Nations soldiers.

This calm and resolute girl was not what she was a few days ago.At first, when she stood at the gate of the city, even her legs were limp, cowardly dormant under the hot blood, biting her delicate nerves from time to time.Fortunately, she soon discovered that the war was not as exciting and terrifying as she imagined, but rather boring and boring, so she became more and more courageous, from a little girl hiding in the last row to a heroine standing in the first row.

See, the UN troops don't even dare to use gas bombs or paralyzing gas, if they keep at it, they will definitely retreat.

We will win!

With such conviction, Beth wiped away the uncontrollable tears.

This wave of bombing has gradually stopped, and the United Nations seems to have once again interpreted the meaning of "in vain" with practical actions.

Beth sneezed a few times, wiped her nose with a handkerchief, and asked the boy next to her, "Mike, are you okay?"

At this time, the gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, and the faces of the people around him showed a rough idea.It was a tall man with a straight figure, and although he was also confused by the smoke bombs, his eyes were firm and clear, and Beth had a strange feeling that he was different from us.

"Hey, who are you? How come I've never seen you?" Beth clenched her handkerchief tightly. "Where's Mike? Isn't he standing next to me?"

After Beth finished speaking, she repeatedly called Mike's name.Soon, Mike's hoarse response came from the second half of the queue. Beth relaxed a little, and turned her head to continue questioning the stranger beside her.

"You—" Beth's brows that had just been relaxed suddenly frowned, and her furious roar was interrupted by a sudden gunshot, "What are you doing!"

At some point, the man beside him took out a miniature laser pistol and fired at the UN troops 20 meters away!

The voice was answered almost at the same time.Several people with weapons suddenly appeared in the camp of the No. [-] base, and coordinated to attack the United Nations from different directions.

"No! No!" Beth tried to grab the arm of the person next to her, but was ruthlessly thrown away. She screamed hysterically, "What are you doing! We can't do this! You guys! Stop!"

The civilians guarding the No. [-] base began to panic. They looked at the few people who kept shooting at a loss, and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Aren't we forbidden to use weapons? The governor sent you here?"

However, the time left for them to be dazed is only a few seconds.The marksmanship of the police officers at Base No. [-] seemed to be particularly bad. The United Nations troops were caught off guard by a sneak attack, but no one was killed. They quickly recovered from the shock, cursed angrily, and launched a violent counterattack, venting These days, I can't advance or retreat, and I feel aggrieved.

In an instant, the gunshots sounded densely like rainstorms falling on the lake, and even formed a harmonious rhythm.

what happened?

Beth stood in a daze, a bullet flew past her ear, and there was a muffled sound from very close behind.She trembled for no reason, and twisted her neck stiffly, only to see that her friend Ian was still standing there, but only half of his head was left, like a shattered watermelon.The frenzied blood mixed with brains drowned his raised eyebrows in astonishment.Two seconds later, Ian, who was still warm, fell heavily, and the splash of blood stained Beth's shoe upper.

Beth looked around, all she could see was blood red, she saw stumped limbs and broken arms, saw the man who attacked earlier was beaten into a sieve, blood splashed like a fountain, she saw the terrified and distorted faces of her companions, they fled in embarrassment , the eyes and mouth are amazingly wide open, as if screaming.Yes, they should be screaming, but Beth couldn't hear any sound, she knelt down with her head in her arms, completely unaware that she looked exactly like everyone else...

On April [-], an independent operation at Base Seven failed.The only war in the world for decades ended hastily and heroically.According to reports, Governor Bernard sent a team disguised as civilians to cover the attack, and sent someone to assassinate Colonel Luther, but Colonel Luther finally saw through the trick and successfully defeated him.During the battle, none of the UN soldiers opened fire on civilians, but there were a few accidental injuries, and there were also casualties on the UN side.The spokesperson of the coalition government expressed condolences for this, and hoped that the base of natural criminals would express their opinions in a legal way, so that war would not reappear in the world.

The Governor of Base No. [-], Bernard and related persons, were arrested on suspicion of undermining the unity and security of the United Nations and are being handed over to UNPO for interrogation.

The independence movement recorded in history at Base No. 23 lasted [-] days.
