Chapter 233 Unkind Invitation
After hearing what James said, everyone took action immediately.

Carterian also led the other soldiers to quickly approach James's position, but when Carterian just walked to James, he immediately felt a black muzzle of a gun pointing at his forehead.

At this moment, Katrian understood that James wanted to settle the score with him.

After all, he had just planned to give up James and carry out the mission alone.

"Katrien, I didn't expect you to abandon me at that critical moment. You really exceeded my expectations. I originally thought that we would be friends, but I didn't expect that my biggest enemy would be you."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Katrian's mouth, and he shrugged helplessly.

"Captain James, aren't you okay now? And our priority right now is not to waste time settling scores with you and me. Our primary mission goal is to eliminate these secret bases of the Dongxia Country as soon as possible and take away all the information we can use."

"If this little conflict between us leads to the failure of the whole thing and the plan, then even if we go back, you and I will be held responsible."

With what Carterian said at this time, James also knew what was more important, and finally had to put down the gun reluctantly.

"After we return to Eagle Country, I will talk to you again. Today's incident is not over yet."

After saying that, James took the lead and led the soldiers behind him to rush quickly towards the base gate.

According to normal logic, the door is now open normally. James has not become a hostage in the hands of the other party, and they have weapons in their hands.

It was easy to break into the opponent's base, take control of the situation again, and gain the dominant advantage. However, when everyone rushed to within two meters of the gate, they suddenly felt as if there was a wall in front of them.

When you hit this wall, there will be a slight rebound feeling, but it will hinder such people and prevent them from moving forward any further.

James and the other soldiers looked at each other in confusion. It was obvious that this supernatural situation was something they could not understand so far.

Carteri, who was walking behind, also keenly noticed the problem, and hurried to the front to observe carefully. When he discovered the transparent wall, the expression on his face immediately became shocked.

"Katrian, what should we do now? There must be some secrets in this mysterious base that we don't know yet. Just this wall alone, I have never seen it before."

James turned his head and looked at Carteri. As the security director sent by the relevant intelligence department, Carteri naturally should understand and know more information, and perhaps be able to provide additional intelligence support for their operation this time.

But the expression on Katrian's face changed again and again, and finally he simply strode up to James and slapped him in the face.

The crisp sound of the slap was particularly harsh in the empty desert, and all the soldiers looked at Katrian and James in surprise.

James was a little dazed by the slap, but just a few seconds later, he angrily drew the weapon from his waist, ready to fight with the opponent.

"I didn't attack you just now, but you are taking advantage of me now? You actually dared to attack me so blatantly, I think you are tired of living!"

"Today, only one of you can stay between me and you!"

But just as he finished saying this, before he could take out the weapon from his waist, Katrien walked directly to James and slapped him in the face again.

"Do you know how much loss we have suffered because of you this time? There must be a lot of technologies in this secret experimental base that have never been used in the world so far. I feel that if these technologies flow into Dongxia Country, it will have a great impact on the international status of the corresponding country. It may even directly change the situation on the entire earth!"

Katrian spoke word by word, pointing at the secret base that was now completely inaccessible.

"Look at them, they are still doing what they should do, and they look fearless. This proves that the protective shield of this base can definitely withstand most of the firepower weapons we know about. Now, let alone we can't get in, even if we send a plane, it is estimated that it will be difficult to cause damage to this base!"

Katrian became angrier as he spoke, and tapped James' forehead with his hand.

"And you are the instigator of all this! It's you who made us miss the opportunity to break into the enemy base and obtain intelligence. It's you who gave the enemy a chance to catch their breath because of your cowardice. Don't tell me that you want to settle the score with me. When we return, I will naturally report this matter to the higher-ups!"

Katrian turned around and left in a rage, without any reluctance to leave.

Only James and the other soldiers in the team were left, standing there looking at each other.

James knew in his heart that if Katrian really went back, he would be in trouble after reporting the matter to his superiors.

After all, as he said, looking at the entire base now, the main reason why they were able to activate this mysterious defense device was because they were restrained.

Thinking of this, James drew the weapon from his waist without any hesitation and pulled the trigger at Katrian who had turned and left.

The sound of a gunshot in the desert was particularly abrupt. Katrian turned around in shock and looked at James who was pointing the gun at him.

But his body just twisted a few times on the sand and then there was no movement.

James put away his weapon and turned to look at the teammates behind him.

"Brothers, each of us is responsible for the failure of this operation. I don't want this guy's nonsense to affect our future development, so this time we must speak with one voice to the outside world. Regarding Katrian's death, he was shot dead by the enemy when he broke into the enemy base. It has nothing to do with us."

"Did you hear that?"

After hearing James' order, the other soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

This scene in front of him happened to be seen clearly by Lao Zheng, who was standing on the rooftop and arranging the coordination of supplies.

Ouyang Zhifeng was standing next to Lao Zheng and also took in the scene in front of him.

"I really didn't expect that these people in the Eagle Sauce Country are simply a group of people who are obsessed with profit and career. In order to protect their own interests, they are even willing to kill their own teammates. With such vicious minds, anyone who cooperates with them may be harmed by them in the end."

Ouyang Zhifeng stroked his beard and said with emotion.

Seeing that his previous remarks did not get a response from Lao Zheng, Ouyang Zhifeng turned to look at Lao Zheng, only to find that Lao Zheng was frowning solemnly, his eyes had already been looking at the distant sky, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

"Old Zheng, are you still worried about whether we can help them resolve the crisis if we go to that alien planet again this time?" Since the other party finally spoke of his concerns, Old Zheng turned his head and looked at Ouyang Zhifeng bitterly.

"Regarding this matter, I have never been sure about it, because I have no idea what we are facing. Although we are fortunate to have you and Wu Zhigang, two experts, go to Earth to help with treatment, the current situation is not optimistic."

Of course, Ouyang Zhifeng could also hear that the implicit meaning of Lao Zheng's words was obviously hinting that his last treatment of the three-eyed alien king did not have a particularly obvious effect, which led to his lack of confidence.

But Ouyang Zhifeng just shook his head lightly.

"Don't worry. Although the universe is so vast, and there are so many creatures and planets with all kinds of civilizations, in the end, they all remain essentially the same."

"I believe in the theories of life mechanics, genetics, and genomics. As long as it is a parasite, it must have its own weaknesses. However, we have not yet figured out the specific situation of the other party. We will have to wait until we return to make a final decision."

Ouyang Zhifeng's words may seem light and casual on the surface, but in fact every word and sentence contains a huge amount of information.

On the one hand, it proves that Ouyang Zhifeng has made up his mind that he must collect first-hand information about this parasite at all costs to facilitate subsequent research. This also means that Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang may stay on that alien planet for some time to come.

On the other hand, what Ouyang Zhifeng said not only represents himself, but also his master Wu Zhigang.

Although Wu Zhigang is young and even looks a bit dull and ignorant, he is well-known to everyone in the industry. Everyone knows that his research on parasites and related concepts and academics at a young age have already caused a sensation in the research subject of parasites.

"I hope so. How are the preparations going? The situation on that planet shouldn't be delayed for too long. The Three-Eyed Alien King is the second person in charge of the entire Interstellar Federation Base besides Wang Wei. If something goes wrong with him at this time, it may cause great panic among the troops of the entire Interstellar Federation Base, which is what Wang Wei least wants to see."

Old Zheng sighed, turned to look at Ouyang Zhifeng, and asked about the current progress.

Ouyang Zhifeng patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, everything we sent this time is useful. I also believe that there must be a treatment method that can cure it, but the prerequisite is that we must get a live meat worm before we can conduct related experiments. How to capture live meat worms, how to understand their habits, and how to grasp their weaknesses, this is what we need to do most at present."

Ouyang Zhifeng obviously already had his own plans in mind. When he told Lao Zheng about this, Lao Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay then, we'll set off right after we pack up."

Ouyang Zhifeng turned his head and looked at the staff who were still transporting various supplies to the huge platform in an orderly manner, and then looked around.

"Professor Zheng, are you so confident that this base will not be hit or threatened by the enemy for the second time? In my opinion, this base must evacuate relevant materials in the shortest possible time and must not leave any traces for the enemy. Now it seems that the location and function of this secret experimental base have been exposed. If we continue to stay here, I am afraid that the night will be long and full of dreams."

How could Lao Zheng not understand what Ouyang Zhifeng meant? He was obviously doubting the safety of this base.

But what he said is also true. If this base is really breached and entered by the other party in other ways, then the large amount of research data on ancient scientific and technological civilization left by Wang Wei, including the Nantianmen transmission device and various other biological samples, may be leaked.

At that time, Wang Wei's plan to protect the planet Earth and prevent them from knowing so much about extraterrestrial civilizations would have completely failed.

The main reason why Wang Wei concealed the forces from all sides was that he did not want this matter to bring trouble to the Earth. According to the current technological level of the Earth, it would be difficult to survive under the attack of such a highly advanced alien civilization.

Once involved, it is very likely that the Earth will be completely at a disadvantage in the shortest possible time, and may even become a colony of the other party in the end.

This was something Wang Wei did not want to see at all. That was why, over the past ten days, Wang Wei had been carefully protecting the relevant information about the planet Earth amidst the confrontations on all sides.

"Don't worry. After we leave, we will transfer all the information, related equipment, and biological samples through a secret transmission device. We will then re-establish our own research base in a new place. As for this base, it will be completely razed to the ground, so that the enemy will never find him again in this desert."

After hearing what Lao Zheng said, Ouyang Zhifeng finally felt relieved, nodded, and followed Lao Zheng towards the direction of the portal.

In the center of the square stands a portal that is exactly the same as the Nan Tianmen teleportation device in the subspace and the planet, except that this portal is larger and looks more spectacular.

From a distance, it looks like a huge door-shaped stone tablet standing in the square, looking quite mysterious.

At this time, all kinds of materials and related medical equipment transported from various places have all been gathered on the square in front of them, waiting for the Nantianmen transmission device to be opened and then load these equipment into it.

Everything was ready, so Ouyang Zhifeng walked to his master Wu Zhigang and whispered to him all the conversation he had just had with Lao Zheng.

Wu Zhigang raised the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and walked towards Lao Zheng with an embarrassed smile.

"Mr. Zheng, you have worked hard on this matter. I know that you can arrange for Ouyang Zhifeng and me to participate in this operation at such a critical moment. It also shows great trust in us. We will definitely not let you down and strive to make some contributions in this parasite crisis."

Lao Zheng nodded with some headache, because now these things almost broke out in a short period of time, which made Lao Zheng a little overwhelmed.

"But before we officially start treating them, I still have a small request. I wonder if you can agree to it."

Old Zheng was suddenly stunned. He subconsciously looked at Wu Zhigang, only to see that Wu Zhigang still maintained his usual demeanor, standing in front of him gently, waiting for his reply.

Lao Zheng didn't say much, but just arranged for the people around him to start loading and unloading supplies to the transmission location. At this speed, in about half an hour, they would be able to activate the Nantianmen transmission device and transmit these supplies away.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, Ouyang Zhifeng next to him wanted to step forward to remind Lao Zheng the question his master had just asked, but as soon as he reached Wu Zhigang's side, he was immediately stopped by Wu Zhigang.

"I believe Mr. Zheng is a very smart man, with sharp ears and eyes. Although he is so old, he is still strong and vigorous. He should be able to hear what I just said. The reason why he has not answered until now is probably that I am still thinking about the pros and cons of this matter."

He is worthy of being Ouyang Zhifeng’s master.

Although Wu Zhigang does not look very old, at this time, he showed an experience and proficiency in human relations and negotiations that was completely contrary to ordinary people.

Having his thoughts exposed by the other party, Lao Zheng shook his head in embarrassment, and finally spoke.

"Brother Wu Zhigang, it's not that I don't want to answer you, but I don't know how to answer this question. First of all, you didn't put forward the specific content of your request, so I can't write you a blank check. Even if I give you this blank check, it's still unclear whether it can be realized in the end."

After hearing what Lao Zheng said, Wu Zhigang frowned even more tightly.

Obviously, this answer did not satisfy him.
