Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
They betrayed Leng Wuxue's research direction, and these people believed that the small team was not there to rescue them, but only to rescue Leng Wuxue alone. They had received similar missions before, so they knew very well that in this situation, the biggest threat to them was not the ferocious beasts outside, but the remaining population in the city. The system doesn't give Liu Ning tasks often, and it has also warned that if a task fails, the punishment for Liu Ning will be very severe.
Liu Ning was really having a headache. These people were very alert. They felt something was wrong from the beginning, but most of them still believed that Liu Ning had given them hope. But now Liu Ning's actions were too obvious. He originally said he would bring two guides, but now he only brought one.
The source of this information was none other than Leng Wuxue's former colleagues. They betrayed Leng Wuxue's research direction, and these people believed that the small team was not there to rescue them, but only to rescue Leng Wuxue alone.
Jinzi and the others slowly reached for their weapons. They had received similar missions before, so they knew very well that in this situation, the biggest threat to them was not the ferocious beasts outside, but the remaining population in the city. Once their living space was taken away, it was hard to imagine how cruel these people could do.
When Jinzi and her team were carrying out their mission, they were almost successful. However, due to interference from people inside the city, one member of their team was lost. Otherwise, Wang Fang wouldn't have been sent to fill in. So now, no one dares to be careless. Don't assume these people are ordinary. Our mission requires quiet. If they make a commotion when we go out and alert the ferocious beasts outside the city, then no one should go out.
"Do you think I'm still afraid to take responsibility now? What use is responsibility now? We can't even protect our own lives. If the Central Base City wants to put me in a military court, please send a plane to pick me up as soon as possible. I'd rather go to a military court and be sentenced to death, at least I'll live a few more days than I do now."
The guy spat out a mouthful of phlegm, clearly not taking Liu Ning's words to heart. This was understandable; under such circumstances, they really had no reason to be afraid of punishment.
After he finished speaking, the people around him raised their guns. They knew that in this situation, there was no need to care about these people's identities. Identity was useless at this time. They had to detain these people so that they would have the leverage to negotiate with the central base city.
"Do you want to rebel? Put down your guns and stop thinking nonsense. Why are we here? Isn't it to scout out a path? If you do something foolish, Central Base City will really abandon you. Look at the people here. Many of them are very useful to society. Besides these useful people, many are the children of high-ranking officials in the naval base. Do you really think we dare to abandon these people? If we abandon them, will we be able to go back alive? Will those powerful people let us live? Their children are all dead, and they will definitely make us go down with them. So put down your guns, or there will be no good outcome."
Jinzi pulled out his pistol. He knew he had to keep these people calm at this moment. If he didn't, they might riot immediately, and he wouldn't even be able to guarantee his own safety, let alone transport Leng Wuxue out.
The soldiers around them were confused, but it seemed that what Jinzi said made sense. In the hall inside, besides the researchers, there were also many family members of high-ranking officials. Even if the researchers were ignored, these family members were usually very capable. They couldn't just ignore these people, could they?
"Stop lying here. Don't you know what you're thinking? You said you wanted two guides, but now you only want one. And even if you wanted a guide, there's no need for this woman. She's her colleague. Everything these people said is true. She researches laser cannons and doesn't know anything about this city. Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe your lies."
Colonel Liu Hua said with a sneer, then pulled out one of the researchers behind him. This researcher would say anything for a plate of fried rice. Although he knew that cooling made the greatest contribution to humanity, he simply couldn't stand the hunger, so he told the truth.
"Tell me everything you know..."
Colonel Liu Hua kicked the guy.
“I told you that Ms. Leng and I are colleagues. We are researching the modification of laser cannons. We have already reached the core location. Although all the data has been uploaded to the computer, without people like us, the research would probably be delayed by 1 to 2 years. The higher-ups can’t afford to delay. Ms. Leng is the best among us. She has presided over and participated in all the laser cannon modification projects. So she is the person the higher-ups need. Although others also have their roles, no one has played a bigger role than Ms. Leng.”
The man spoke tremblingly. After he finished speaking, Liu Ning realized that this matter was not so easy to resolve. What the man said had a significant effect, as could be seen from the expressions on the faces of the surrounding soldiers. Just a moment ago, many people were hesitant, but now many of them felt angry at being deceived.
Liu Ning also gave the others a look. Reasoning with them was useless now. Their lies had been exposed by these people. The reason they hadn't made a move was that they still wanted to use them as hostages to negotiate with the army outside the city. So now there was only one way: to find a way to save Leng Wuxue's life and then we could fight our way out together.
If it weren't for Leng Wuxue, Liu Ning was confident that his team could easily break out. But now they had to bring the girl back. If they didn't bring her back, their presence here would be pointless. So they had to take the girl into consideration. She was just an ordinary person with no combat experience, which was the most troublesome thing.
Besides that, there are Liu Ning's system tasks. The system doesn't give Liu Ning tasks often, and it has also warned that if a task fails, the punishment for Liu Ning will be very severe. Although he doesn't know what the punishment is yet, Liu Ning definitely doesn't want to try it. It's not easy to have developed to where he is now, and Liu Ning doesn't want to back down in the slightest. He also can't afford to back down in the current social situation.
So we have to succeed at this point; we can't afford to fail!
