Chapter 12: The Legion Commander's Call(1/2)
"drop……"
“…”
The curve on the instrument gradually returns to zero.
Returning to zero means death.
This curve is Hong Zhong’s hope of getting better... Everyone saw this scene.
The curve returns to zero, and hope is shattered.
The mental appraiser in the ward stared at the picture in front of him. He never thought that this man who escaped from the [Old World] would fall here... It was obvious that a few minutes ago, the man's vital signs were all stable.
The appraiser looked at the face that was pale due to death.
He licked his dried and skinny lips.
The quiet needles in the ward can be heard, and his extremely difficult voice made the dead silence even more depressing.
"Hong Zhong..."
“Confirm death.”
...
...
Observation room.
Lin Lin stared at this scene silently, and of course he knew what Hong Zhong's death meant... This was the only survivor in the maze mission, and the "hometown hero" staring at the tens of millions of pairs of eyes in Beizhou.
His death was an extremely bad news for the Gubao Fortress.
The "spiritual appraisal" that Lin Lin insisted on did not get much useful information... the only useful information is that Hong Zhong really saw the "oasis".
This further confirms the title of "hero".
Yuan Yuan looked at his old friend who had been for many years in silence, lay down in the ward, covered with white cloth, and then closed his eyes forever.
This moment.
His original anger... seemed to have all dissipated with the wind.
The deputy captain stood up slowly, looked at Lin Lin, and said softly: "Master General, he is worthy of being the iron-blooded garrison... In a moment, the commander of the Legion will call you in person."
This very light voice was filled with his sadness.
Beizhou is in strict order.
He did not use respectful words.
The final "call" did not hide his irony.
Lin Lin didn't care about these things.
He carried his hands on his back and continued to stare at the body in the observation room. No one knew what he was thinking... It was just before Yuan Yuan left the room, Lin Lin spoke again.
"His body is left in Gubao."
This moment.
Yuan Yuan's anger had already spread to his chest.
He pinched the door frame and made a crackling sound, and the wood chips fell.
Yuan Yuan took a deep breath and controlled his emotions.
"Why?"
"No reason, this is an order. Did you come to Beizhou on the first day?"
Lin Lin looked at the outsider coldly and responded without emotion: "In the Gubao Fortress, all actions need to be approved by me... Even if you move the Legion Commander, it is useless. You can try to ask Her Majesty the Queen, I will only accept her guidance."
Yuan Yuan smiled.
He found this reply extremely ridiculous.
He looked sadly at the stubborn young brigade general and never concealed his contempt.
Yuan Yuan whispered: "Hisser Lin Lin, I can't believe that you are such a person... nor can I believe that Gubao Fortress would treat a hero returning home so harshly... I have nothing to say. I wish you good luck in martial arts."
“…”
Lin Lin moved his eyes away from the other party.
He said nothing.
Yuan Yuan, and the extraordinary people who were rushing to the Gubao Fortress, suppressed the anger in his heart and left the seat.
Zou Hai also sighed lightly.
He left the observation room gently and was alone, dealing with the trivial matters after Hong Zhong's death for the brigade general.
Gu Shen shook his head.
He pointed at his forehead and chuckled, "Like you, the brigade generals rely on intuition."
"Dingling--"
At this moment, the communicator sounded.
Lin Lin answered the incoming call.
He glanced at Gu Shen, and stood still in place without leaving the observation room.
This was somewhat beyond Gu Shen's expectations.
This call should be the call from the "legion commander" Yuan Yuan mentioned... Lin Lin did not avoid suspicion?
What was even more unexpected was that Lin Lin actually turned on the hands-free one.
A gentle and powerful woman's voice came from the communicator.
"Brother General Lin Lin, I already know what happened in Gubao."
"Sir Legion."
Lin Lin took a breath, although he told Yuan Yuan... Even if he asked the commander of the army, he would not be shaken!
But a real big man of the Legion Commander level came to call, which was quite stressful for the Gubao Fortress.
Without waiting for the communicator to open.
Lin Lin replied first: "I will handle the incident properly about the 'Hongzhong' and give an explanation to everyone who is concerned about this incident in Beizhou. Please believe me and Gubao."
The communicator was silent for a moment.
Unexpectedly, the Legion Commander said: "About your persistence in this incident... Central City gave affirmation, and you did nothing wrong."
"only……"
As the topic changed, she slowly said, "You should read Hong Zhong's file. This is a soldier who worked hard for the investigation army twenty years ago. Many people fought with him in blood. The comrades-in-law had a deep affection. This hero who returned home could not die just like this. Zhongyuan asked me to take his body out of Gubao."
Lin Lin was silent.
The pressure faced by Gubao is not just the commander of the legion.
There is also public opinion from the outside world...
"I have suppressed this request, too." She said calmly: "Gubao has independent processing rights. Based on years of cognition and trust, I support all the decisions you have made... You don't need to pay attention to the public opinion within the investigation of the Legion."
Lin Lin's expression was refreshed.
This call... was a great encouragement to him.
"but!"
"Next, I will send the second team of the investigation army to set out from the Gubao Fortress to perform the 38th mission of the maze again..."
The woman's voice was very firm, "The Investigation Legion will retake Hong Zhong's original route and explore the clues and truth about the 'oasis'. This order has been approved by Her Majesty the Queen!"
This sentence is more like a notice.
"receive--"
Lin Lin said in a deep voice: "Gubao will fully cooperate with the investigation of the Legion's combat operations!"
"very good……"
There was a gentle laugh over the communicator.
This laughter...
Gu Shen was stunned. Judging from the conversation just now, the legion leader should have a ruthless image, right?
These two people must have known each other for a long time?
After laughing, there was a question in a positive tone: "Gu Shen is right by your side, right?"
Lin Lin's expression did not fluctuate. He glanced at Gu Shen beside him and nodded softly.
The commander of the legion said: "Let him pick up the power."
Lin Lin used his eyes to signal that Gu Shen could speak.
To be continued...
