Byron's Blade

Lanny found that she had made a low-level mistake. Perhaps a series of things made her feel a little uneasy, and she missed a key issue—she miscalculated the number of people.

Of the 40 soldiers, only 37 participated in the battle. The surviving Corporal William and the female soldier belonged to the 37, so there should be 3 people who did not participate in the battle.At the beginning, Corporal William reported to her that three soldiers were injured and unable to move in the car accident, so these three people should still be in the car at this moment.

Perhaps the missing sonar device was on one of the three men.

Thinking of this, Lan Ni immediately went to check the vehicle.Soon inside the overturned armored vehicle, two soldiers were found.However, the two soldiers were dead, and they were killed.

Lanny inspected their bodies and found that both of them were shot through the throat and died unexpectedly. The reason why they didn't hit their heads was because they were still wearing helmets, and the federal military helmets are made of high-end materials. Bullet-proof helmets made of ordinary bullets are impenetrable.The inside of the carriage was the scene of the first crime, and the murderer made a surprise attack from a position further inside than the deceased, indicating that the murderer was in the same car as the two deceased at the beginning.After observing the scene and a little reasoning, Lanny roughly understood the process of the matter:

At first, the armored vehicle overturned and three soldiers were injured and unable to participate in the battle, but one of them was pretending. This person is likely to be the traitor arranged in the third squadron by the group who wanted Bailey's life.After everyone got out of the car, the man remained in the car with two other innocent soldiers.At the moment when the battle broke out, he shot and killed the two soldiers in the car by covering up the messy and dense gunfire.As for why the shooting was done, three or four reasons can be mentioned casually, but Lanny thinks the biggest reason is that this person wants all the people outside the city to die, so that the death can be completely uncontested, otherwise even if there are only some people who don’t know Those who are alive are all hidden dangers.

Lan Ni searched the pockets of the corpse, but found no sonar device. She thought that she was taken away by the murderer.So first took pictures to collect evidence, and then got out of the car and stood still outside the car.Lan Ni was not in a hurry to find the murderer, but first called up the personnel information of the third squadron, corresponding one by one, and quickly found the target person through the method of elimination.

Elisa Ford, private, is a female soldier who has just enlisted in the army.Now that her id reports that she is dead, Lanny deliberately expanded the range of life detection, but she didn't find any extra life reactions nearby.

Lan Ni sent the information to Mu Li, and started a private call, and said to Mu Li:

"I sent you the information of a person. She is likely to be a traitor of the third squadron. Now her whereabouts are unknown. You can help me search around to see if I can find her body. She should be wearing a sonar device. Stuff can keep predators in check."

"How can you confirm that the traitor is nearby?" Mu Li asked after a pause.

"The coverage of the sonar device is limited. This person must not be too far away from us. He should be in the team that was left outside the city. I have already confirmed that Elisa Ford killed two soldiers and escaped. So In a short time, she must not be able to escape far, I have expanded the range of life detection, no response means she should be dead, then the body will not run far, it should be nearby."

Mu Li doesn't feel too surprised now. She thought it was an accident when the incident happened, but in retrospect, she already noticed something was wrong.She wasn't entirely sure if someone had tried to kill Bailey so they could be buried with them, but she was clearly a good guess.With her keen senses, she has always trusted her intuition, and this time is no exception.She knew that there were indeed traitors in the team, and she could accurately grasp the movement and position of Bailey's medical car and Lanny's car, and manipulate the sonar device at an extremely appropriate time to guide the monsters to attack the cars behind , the person should be within easy reach.

The most powerful proof is that the drivers of several vehicles died at the same time almost at the same time. This cannot be called a coincidence at all, it can only be said to be controlled by humans, because only humans with high intelligence understand that killing the driver first makes the Only when the car loses its mobility can the people in the rear compartment fall into an extremely passive state.Most predators have low IQs, and the mantis type is no exception. Their own hunting and fighting instincts alone will not understand such a complicated principle.

"How do you know about this sonar device? It sounds like it's not a public science and technology." Mu Li got up and began to search around, and soon she asked again.

"I only heard acquaintances talk about this kind of thing at a celebration banquet of a scientific research institution two or three years ago. At that time, my friend described it to me, saying that it was a device the size of a recording pen that could transfer human Language is converted into sonar wavelengths that predators can understand, replacing language to command. But this device can only work on predators, not on Zerg. Moreover, the coverage of sonar is not large, and it can only be used underwater It is very tasteless to use. Although it may be the first step in the domestication of predators, it has not been made public because of the strong uncertainty.”

Underwater... No wonder they didn't attack until above the suspension bridge of the moat, no wonder they were praying mantis-shaped predators. According to the data, praying mantis-shaped predators are good swimmers. Then, these few praying mantis-shaped predators probably It is concealed by the moat.Thinking about it now, Mu Li understood the cause and effect.

"Since you already know the origin of the sonar device used by the traitor, you should also know who is behind it to kill us?" Mu Li asked.

"I do have an idea." Lanny admitted, paused before continuing:

"Second Lieutenant Mu, if it were someone else, I wouldn't say these things. Sending you Elisa Ford's information represents my attitude. You don't have to try again. I can tell you who the other party is, but it's not right It doesn't make sense to you."

"It doesn't matter, I just want to know who wants to harm us. When I should be confused, I will be confused, but when I should understand, I will also make it clear."

Lanny took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Then come here, I'll write it to you, and you can feel it yourself."

Mu Li hesitated for a moment before walking to Lan Ni. Lan Ni avoided the scars on her body and slowly wrote a name on her back.Mu Li's body stiffened, and he responded:

"I see."

Lan Ni curled her writing fingers, hesitated, and finally did not tell Mu Li about the fifth monster that died mysteriously.This incident is not as simple as just two opposing sides. Apart from the side of Lanny who wants to protect Bailey and the side of the enemy who wants to kill Bailey, there is an unknown third party, and this person may be between them. During this time, Lan Ni couldn't confirm who it was, nor could she determine the other party's purpose, so before she figured out everything, she even had to hide it from Mu Li.

"Major, I think I found Elisa." Mu Li said while pawing at the railing of the suspension bridge.

"What? Where is it?" Lan Ni ran towards Mu Li.

"Below, her body is floating on the river." Mu Li pointed to the bottom of the suspension bridge.

Lan Ni ran to Mu Li's side, grabbed the railing of the suspension bridge and looked down, and she really saw an army green figure floating face down on the moat. It seemed that she was too dead to die.

Lan Ni's face under the mask was very gloomy. The traitor was dead, and there was no proof of death.Is it suicide?This is really normal. She is actually an abandoned child. Being able to become a traitor and lurk in the third squadron shows that she has long since realized that she will die if she is exposed.

"It looks like it's going to take a lot of effort to salvage the body. The sonar device should be on her body. At least the body is there, which is also a kind of evidence." Lanny said with a sigh.

"Major, I have a few questions, please clarify." Mu Li asked.

"You said."

"If the fact that the female scientist left the city this time is itself a trap, then the four adventurers who came out with her should be more than just adventurers."

"Yes, they are all members of the military and police." Lanny replied.

"Then, it shouldn't be a coincidence that the scorpion-shaped predator in the cave was encountered at the beginning, but was deliberately attracted by someone, wasn't it?"

Lan Ni nodded and said, "But it shouldn't be lured by the sonar device. There is no water there, and the scorpion-shaped predators are not water-resistant. I guess it should be lured in a more primitive way. The surviving adventurer, The clothes on his body have been searched, and there is no strange device, and the bodies of the other three adventurers are the same."

"I'm just wondering, since it's death anyway, wouldn't it be faster to kill it directly, why do you have to lure monsters to kill it? In the end, you put your own life in it." Mu Li asked.

"Because that person didn't just want Bailey to die outside the city, he also wanted Bailey's body to return to the city to prove that he was indeed killed by a monster, so that he could remove himself completely. He wanted to kill Bailey , but I don’t want to draw fire on myself. We are in the same situation now. The four military and police fake adventurers are also doomed to die. When they receive this task, they should be mentally prepared.”

"In order to kill one person, so many people were sacrificed!" Mu Li clenched his fists.

"No, Second Lieutenant Mu, this time the attack at the gate of the city, apart from killing Bailey, also contained a more vicious heart."

"What do you mean?"

"This is a deadly game set up to provoke the relationship between the two generals. If this game can be successful, then he will kill two birds with one stone."

"Two generals..." Mu Li took a deep breath, and understood, it was General Friesman and General Andres.Major General Creel is the eldest son of General Andres and the successor to the next General.Lanny was General Friesman's favorite apple.Lani was attacked outside the city gate of the Ares region controlled by Kriel, but Kriel refused to save him and closed the city gate, so that Lani was eventually killed.What will happen to the two generals who learned of this?Mu Li felt chills in his heart, the vicious heart of the mastermind behind the scenes had been clearly revealed.

While Mu Li was thinking, Lanny turned on the auxiliary camera function of the helmet visor, pointed at Elisa's body, zoomed in as much as possible, and wanted to take a photo first to preserve the evidence.But just after she zoomed in on the camera, she suddenly made a new discovery.

If you look carefully, there seems to be something silver stuck in the back of Elisa's neck, but you can't see it clearly.But what can be confirmed is that this thing should have killed her.Lan Ni was shocked. Could it be that this traitor Elisa did not commit suicide, but was killed by him!

who is it?Lan Ni suddenly turned around and began to carefully survey the scene.The position of Elisa's floating corpse, the rubbing marks on the guardrail at the edge of the suspension bridge, and the dead corner where the fifth monster died are all connected in a line. Except for the third-party character who killed the fifth monster, Lanny can't think of anyone else.This mysterious figure must have killed Elisa, and the motive for the killing is simple:

Elisa witnessed the scene where the mysterious figure killed the fifth monster!

Is that silver thing a special weapon that the mysterious figure wants to cover up?Lanny recreated the scene of the incident in her mind. The mysterious figure killed the fifth monster. The escaped Elisa happened to witness it. Elisa panicked and was about to jump off the bridge to escape. The mysterious figure swung his weapon straight into her. Lisa scooped, and Elisa died, falling into the river.In such a short period of time, the mysterious person should not have time to deal with the weapon. Since no weapon was found on the suspension bridge, the weapon must be on Elisa's body.

"Major? What's the matter?" Seeing Lan Ni's strange behavior, Mu Li couldn't help asking.

Before Lanny could answer, suddenly, countless red dots suddenly appeared on the radar of the helmet visors of the two of them, and the alarm sounded.Mu Li's complexion changed drastically, he turned his head to look, and saw countless monsters began to appear in the forest not far away.So much so that monsters began to appear in the moat.

Lan Ni's complexion was pale, she suddenly grabbed Mu Li's arm and said:

"Damn it! It's actually a bug swarm..."
