Puppeteer [Interstellar]

As Ska and Lyle continued walking along the road, the road gradually widened.

Lyall saw that the passageway in the distance was brightly lit. It wasn't that the power was restored, but that someone had lit a lamp in the passageway.

Several Lyle had seen in the surveillance video before, those guys in white coats, who looked like researchers, were collectively huddled in a spacious room, surrounded by a few unidentified soldiers lying on the ground Members of the base are discussing something in full swing.

These researchers are all huddled in a relatively large hall, which used to be used by members of the base as a conference hall. Soldiers are stationed at the entrance of the conference hall. Passing by, when passing by, Lyle heard a few words from the researchers inside.

"The physical fitness of these few people does not meet the standard, they are too weak, and there are still many disabled people. How should we deal with it?"

"Guys with poor physical fitness can be killed, or sent outside to serve as bait for those Zergs. Isn't General Rein killing the Zergs? Send a few baits, and those bugs will surround themselves, and the bugs will eat the bait." , we kill bugs."

These few words immediately made Lyle feel cold all over. He clenched his fists and tried his best to restrain his inner impulse.

I don't know if he exposed something, but an alliance soldier standing guard at the gate of the conference hall seemed to see something wrong with Lyle, so the soldier took a step forward and put his hand on Lyle's shoulder.

"You, stop!" The soldier pressed Lyle's shoulder, and said in a bad tone: "Report your name and number!"

These words startled Lyall, he froze in place, his mind went blank for a while, so he didn't turn around for a long time.

Several researchers in the conference hall seemed to have heard the movement at the door, and some of them glanced back, but only a few glances.

Scar in front of Lyle had already turned around. Under the brim of his black hat were blood-red to black pupils. Lyle even saw that one of Scar's hands had begun to mutate slightly, with Zerg scales growing on it. It's a good sign of killing.

But without waiting for Scar to start killing, Lyle took a deep breath and turned around calmly and immediately. When the suspicion of the soldier who blocked him was about to increase, Lyle saluted a very standard military salute and answered sharply. : "Number 427768, name Sulette White."

The soldier who stopped Lyle on the other side was stunned for a moment, and then responded with the same quick salute: "Sorry, you can go."

Then Scar and Lyle continued to wander around in the alliance army. When they left, Lyle lowered his head and touched the collar of his military uniform. A string of special encrypted symbols was tattooed on the inside of the collar. This symbol is deciphered to be the military number and personal name.

When the Alliance Army fought against the Zerg, there were countless casualties all the year round. Those who cleaned up the battlefield could only find some fragments of clothes on the battlefield, not even corpses. In order to calculate the death toll and know who the dead were, the Alliance distributed them to This encrypted symbol is designed and embroidered on each soldier's uniform, which is used for this function.

Lyle will know because all members of the Hawk family are basically Ray's subordinate soldiers. Lyle has seen them many times and can recognize who they are just by looking at their clothes, and the code of this symbol on the clothes is also very easy to crack Easy, after reading a few books of Alliance cryptography hidden in the family library, Lyle will know everything about it.

As for Lyle's military salute, he learned that he is also a member of the Hawke family.

Thinking about it this way, although he encountered a lot of bad things in that family, he learned a lot, and even learned some methods.

Lyle didn't know whether to cry or laugh at being able to use the methods and methods learned today, although Lyle was not at all lucky or happy about it.

It is not a day or two that he hates the alliance and these hypocritical humans.

Along the way, he just passed by like this. Although such a bold act, the unexpected effect was very good. Lyle quickly arrived outside the communication room of the base, but he still faced a big problem. The outside of the communication room also There are soldiers standing guard.

There were very few soldiers patrolling around. Scar and Lyle looked at each other, and then Scar carried Lyle and asked him to stand in the corner and squat down. Scar went forward alone and started looking for the two guards. Soldiers in trouble.

The soldiers only saw Ska in military uniform walking up to them without saying a word. The two of them felt strange. Just as they were about to ask something, they saw Ska suddenly raised his head, and there was a red light in his eyes. They suddenly felt that they were The neck was choked, and Ska was so powerful that he lifted the man with one hand. They both had guns in their hands, but they couldn't even lift the gun at the moment.

He passed out completely due to suffocation, lack of oxygen to the brain and other reasons.

Then Scar threw the two of them on the ground. When he threw them, Lyle, who was squatting in the corner, had already got up and followed them. The two of them sneaked open the door of the communication room and looked inside cautiously. no one.

Since there was no one there, Lyle was impolite, and immediately entered the door, beckoned Ska to drag in the unconscious soldier lying outside, and then locked the door of the communication room behind him.

Next, their time must be fast, because Lyle has to find a way to communicate with other lost army bases in this communication room. I heard Dr. Xia Yuan said before that the way their base communicates with other bases is very primitive. Radio is a method that modern society has long abandoned, but on the contrary, sometimes the more primitive the method, the more unexpected it is.

But to send radio, Lyle has to find the right channel. There is a special channel for communication between the lost army bases, but this channel seems to have been mentioned by Abend, but Lyle doesn't remember it very clearly. He thinks that in this communication room There should be some documentation, maybe a few words on it.

While Lyall was struggling in the comm room.

The Temporary Command Room of the Alliance Army, which has captured the Lost Army Base, has just returned from the battle against Zerg with a group of troops.There are several puppet masters in Rein's First Legion to fight together, but even without puppet masters, Rein has special skills to deal with Zerg.

In short, practice makes perfect. I have fought many times with the same enemy. Rein has thoroughly understood the nature of Zerg from the beginning to the end. It is not difficult to deal with them. In Rein's eyes, humans are sometimes much more terrifying than Zerg up.

"General, we caught a few fish that escaped the net near our refugee base." Rein's adjutant said respectfully beside him.

"Just grab it, and report this kind of trivial matter to me?" Lei Yin raised his brows, a little dissatisfied.

The adjutant next to him hurriedly added respectfully: "One of them has been identified and is one of the escaped passengers on the passenger ship. We wanted to kill her directly, but she said that she wanted to see you."

"See me?" Rein paused.

"Yes," said the adjutant, "she said she was your wife's cousin."

Rain's wife, that is, Al's mother, is the only woman that Rain is currently married to in his life.

This woman's name is Shelia Hawke. Of course, she followed Raine's surname Hawke only after she married Raine, but before that, her surname was Okan.

When Lei Yin heard this, he laughed: "So that's the case, well, let her come to see me."

The adjutant was ordered to step back. After a short while, the adjutant quickly brought the person over. He pushed Alice into the door of the temporary command room. Alice was pushed unceremoniously by him and stumbled a few steps. , finally stood firm.

Then she stood up straight and looked up at Rain who was sitting on the sofa chair.

Rain was also looking at her.

Rein waved his hand and told the adjutant next to him to go down. The adjutant was very winking, and quickly exited the door and closed the door. Therefore, only Rein and Alice were left in the not-so-large room.

"I heard that you are my wife Shelia's cousin." Rein squinted his eyes and smiled, as if his face was amiable. He said, "I'm really sorry, I should be your cousin...Why is this Why didn’t you say this earlier? If I had said earlier, I wouldn’t have let you run away in such embarrassment all over the world.”

Alice was indeed in a bit of a mess at the moment, her clothes were torn, and there was a wound on her face that was caused by someone, a piece of skin was scratched, and blood flowed out.

But she didn't have much expression, she looked at Rain very calmly, and said, "Can you let me go?"

"Why do you ask such a question?" Rein seemed to really not understand what she meant, and asked in earnest.

"Because you are planning to kill me." Alice said calmly, "But I can assure you that I will not reveal anything about the passenger ship. As a member of the Okan family, I can be regarded as a nepotism with your Hawke family. As for the alliance, I can roughly understand it, so I hope you don't kill me."

"You think too much, I won't kill Shelia's family." Rein still pretended to be kind, "But you have to tell me about your relationship with these refugees, and... is this base really a refugee base? "

"Ah, there is another extremely important point." Rein seemed to remember something, and said: "I have received a report that there should be someone beside you when you escaped from the passenger ship. Yes, some people on the passenger ship Surveillance captured you, can you tell me where the other person went?"

Alice seemed to be taking a deep breath, but still replied calmly: "He died, in the mouth of the Zerg."

Rein's tone was a little suspicious: "Really?"

Alice confirmed: "Really, he was just someone I used casually on the road to escape. Now that things have happened, there is no need for me to deceive you."

Alice can see Rain's attitude, and she can be considered to understand Rain's brutal nature. Even though Alice knows that Lyle is Rain's illegitimate child, she can completely see that Rain has never paid attention to this superfluous thing. His son, if he exposed Lyle now, it would be the same as sending Lyle to die.

Moreover, Alice does not know whether Lyle is still alive.

Maybe, Lyle really died in the mouth of the Zerg just like Alice nonsense.

"That's really bad. I didn't find the body, so I don't feel relieved." Rein said slowly, "Then you can help, can you tell when he died and where? Which one is it? Did the bug kill him?"

Alice heard this, raised her head slightly, and looked at Rain.
