Ivano's destination is ahead.He walked for several hours in the wilderness, and arrived at District 27, which is the closest to District 29, at night.

There was some rain during the night, but the skies have cleared up along the way.Ivano hid in the woods to observe the entrance of Area 29 not far away.Residual rainwater slid down the waterproof fabric of his coat and onto the ferns on the ground.

Previously, Ivano saw a bad situation at the entrance of the 27th area.The entrance was heavily guarded by intruders, and those intruders all wore a red badge on their collars, which seemed to be soldiers loyal to a certain organization.

However, here, the entrance to Area 29 looks normal. There is a battle robot on guard on the sentry tower, and two absent-minded soldiers are standing at the door.It is the configuration that the landing station usually has.

Ivano came out of the woods.The sentry battle droids spotted him and turned their weapons on him.The soldiers at the door asked him to reveal his identity.

Ivano said that he was a businessman, and he was stranded in the space port because he lost the Internet. When he came to N7 star to check the situation, he was attacked and separated from his companions. Area 27 was guarded by heavy soldiers, so he could only come to 29 District for help - basically the truth.

No need for Ivano to make additional explanations, "being attacked" and "heavily guarded" are enough to drive away the soldiers' boring drowsiness.

"We haven't been able to contact Area 27 for a day," one of them said.

The soldiers notified their superiors.Ivano waited for a few minutes outside the gate of Area 29, and a young officer named Bernard came out from the gate.

"Did you say you were attacked?" Bernard asked as he walked towards Ivano.Ivano said yes.

"I need to know the details." Bernard said, "Come with me." At the same time, he turned to the soldier at the door: "Did you report this to anyone else besides me?" After receiving a negative answer, he said , "Well done. Don't cause unnecessary speculation."

Ivano followed Bernard into Area 29, looking around cautiously.Not far from the inner side of the gate is a 2-storey guard office building. There are a series of footprints left on the sand, and Bernard should have walked out of it.Behind the office building is the military garrison, and these soldiers are specially guarding the various districts.

Ivano doesn't think these lazy soldiers are of much use, but this is the only resource he can use now.Tazito was probably stuck in the Landing Station at Area 27, they couldn't get in touch with each other, and he needed to do what he could.

Bernard walked quickly, walked towards the office building without saying a word, and paid attention to whether Ivano followed him closely.

"Where are we going?" Ivano asked.

"In front." Bernard replied vaguely. He didn't make eye contact with Ivano, and he looked like he didn't intend to talk.Ivano shut up knowingly, he followed Bernard for a few minutes, passed through the office building, and came to a room under the barracks.Bernard skillfully swiped open the door, and made a "go in" gesture to Ivano.

Ivano glanced in the door, the lights turned on automatically, it was an unused shooting room.He took a step inside and stepped into the shooting room.

Behind him, the officer named Bernard glanced at Ivano nervously, his face was pale and gloomy.His hands were trembling, but he quickly drew out his gun and aimed at Ivano's back.He swallowed heavily, and pulled the trigger.

A gunshot was swallowed within the soundproof walls of the shooting room.Then there was a muffled grunt and the sound of kneeling heavily.Bernard's gun fell to the side.He knelt on the ground in pain, with a knife stuck in his heart.

He didn't know when Ivano turned around, and he couldn't figure out why his actions were exposed.Everything happens in an instant.His gun missed Ivano, and the next moment, the cold blade had sliced ​​through his chest and pierced straight into his heart.Bernard fell to his knees involuntarily, his eyes widened, and he looked down at the knife in disbelief.He looked up again, looking at the man with confusion and horror.He met a pair of cold eyes, which were green without a trace of impurities, covered with a layer of gray shadow without matrix.Those eyes were calm and indifferent, without any pity for death.

"For... glory..."

Bernard's trembling lips uttered the last words, and he fell on his side like a garbage bag.Ivano leaned over and felt for his carotid artery. After confirming his death, he put away his gun, covered his wound with a handkerchief, and drew the knife to prevent blood from splattering everywhere.

After putting away his weapon, Ivano checked Bernard's collar.Sure enough, a round badge was nailed to the collar of Bernard's shirt, and the totem depicted on it was actually a harpy.Ivano wasn't sure it was the same insignia on the collars of the intruders he'd seen at the gate of Area 27, but I'm afraid he was right.

The 29th area has also been infiltrated by the invaders, and Bernard wants to kill him here, so as not to expose the news that "the 27th area is occupied".

But Bernard was too impatient to make his intentions all too obvious.An officer who personally rushed from the office area to meet the news reporter was not at all curious about the news, and took him straight to the unmanned shooting room without asking any questions on the way.This may have fooled the "ordinary businessman", but unfortunately Ivano is not an "ordinary businessman".

Ivano looked at the corpse on the ground coldly, thinking about how to go next.Just as he came to the conclusion that "he must leave immediately, so as not to be seen by anyone", a creepy sound came from the depths of the shooting room.Ivano turned his head sharply and looked in the direction of the sound in surprise.Only then did he notice a small room in the corner of the shooting room.The small room had glass windows through which he could see someone inside!
