Fang Zhou, just tell me whether the mission is completed or not.

The next day, early morning.

The blood-stained national salvation team drove animal carts loaded with food and money seized from the tax collection team.

Under Luo Chen's leadership, they returned to the Ursus base where they had set out a few days ago.

The second lieutenant stationed at the base heard that Luo Chen and his team had returned with a full load, and immediately called Luo Chen to his office.

Luo Chen asked two of his men to carry a box of money and follow him to the second lieutenant's office.

In a corner of the second lieutenant's office, there is an exquisite coffee table.

On the coffee table, a copper ashtray lay there quietly.

Luo Chen sat on the sofa next to the coffee table, opened the box, pushed it in front of the lieutenant and said with a smile:

"Second Lieutenant, you don't have any record of our whereabouts over the past few days, right?"

"You know, we made a lot of money this time. We got a few local tycoons. If other people knew about this, they would inevitably be targeted."

The lieutenant's eyes widened when he saw the money, which was far more than he expected.

He originally thought that these guys would go out to rob the village and at most steal some rice, flour, sugar, oil and other things.

That's why he asked for five women as bribes.

But they didn't expect that they could get a box of money worth hundreds of thousands of Longmen coins.

Those who knew understood that they were going to rob the village, while those who didn't thought they were going to rob the empire's tax collectors.

What an unexpected surprise!

The lieutenant greedily pulled the box in front of him and began to count the money inside.

While counting, he replied:

"Don't worry, Lermontov. The headquarters hasn't called during this period, and I haven't taken the initiative to report."

The lieutenant's answer was very cunning.

He did not answer that he had already prepared a disguise for them, but said that he had not reported yet.

The subtext is that if you can't satisfy me, I might report the truth to my superiors.

It was obvious that he was blinded by money and wanted to blackmail Luo Chen.

As for Luo Chen, he has always liked such greedy people.

If the other party is righteous and wholeheartedly committed to saving the country and the people.

Luo Chen may not like him.

And this kind of shameless person is Luo Chen’s favorite bad boy.

A relaxed and slightly playful smile appeared on Luo Chen's face.

He laughed softly twice, and that laughter was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, bringing a hint of joy.

However, he quickly stopped smiling and became serious, then he repeated the other person's words almost word for word.

"In other words, you haven't reported to the headquarters that we have been staying at the base all this time?"

The lieutenant obviously did not notice the seriousness on Luo Chen's face, or perhaps he was fearless.

He nodded slightly and was about to bargain with Luo Chen: "Yes, but if you want..."

However, a smile suddenly appeared on Luo Chen's face. He picked up the ashtray on the table and smashed it on the back of the other person's head.

He was knocked down directly onto the coffee table.

The adjutant and staff officer behind the second lieutenant were about to react when they were pinned to the ground and beaten violently by the two members of the National Salvation Team brought by Luo Chen.

at the same time.

The members of the National Salvation Team who were waiting outside the door also snatched weapons from the unsuspecting guards and knocked them to the ground.

Back to the office.

Luo Chen hit the opponent on the head twice, but still not satisfied, he hit it four or five more times.

The second lieutenant howled and stretched out his hands to block it, but his fingers were broken by Luo Chen.

"You bargained with me? We haven't reported to the empire yet, why are you so arrogant?"

"Without you, I can report how I want to report. I can report to whomever I want to report."

"The entire base belongs to me."

Luo Chen didn't stop until he beat the other person until he fell to the ground and twitched.

At this time, the members of the National Rescue Team outside the door also dealt with the doorman and broke in directly.

Luo Chen raised his hand and pointed at the unconscious second lieutenant, as well as the two adjutants and staff officers who were pinned to the ground.

"Tie this greedy guy up like a mummy and send him to the communications room. Beat up the other two guys first, and then make them explain the key for external communications and the routine procedures for reporting to the empire."

"If you don't cooperate, you can get some treatment."

Hearing that Luo Chen openly usurped the command of the base, the adjutant who was pinned to the ground yelled:

"Lermontov, what are you doing? You are committing treason! Are you going to rebel?"

"Oh..." Luo Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "No need to ask this guy, just treat him directly and let him watch."

After receiving Luo Chen's prescription, the members of the National Salvation Team who were acting as adjutants suddenly grinned.

"Sir! Don't worry, I promise to make this stubborn guy lose all the ability to be stubborn."

Luo Chen always liked children who were proactive and hardworking. He immediately gave him an affirmative smile and raised his hand:

"Very good! All for Ursus."

"Everything is for fairness and justice!" The others saluted in response.

Seeing this normal yet weird scene, the adjutant who had been stubborn just now couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He realized it at this moment.

These guys in front of me are not afraid of the authority of the empire at all.

They are doing what they think is right.

Chapter 148 If you don’t want to be a good child now, you won’t be able to be a human being next.

Imperial Base.

Inside the communications tower.

The soldiers and technicians in the base were subdued and tied up with almost no resistance.

Their eyes were filled with fear and pain.

It seemed as if he was completely unable to understand why his colleagues from the same empire would do such a cruel thing, and he was unwilling to guess how he would be treated next.

Only the second lieutenant, who was tied up like a dumpling, remained slightly calm.

However, his pale and trembling cheeks also proved that he was calm, but not much.

And that's what allowed him to pretend to be calm and not afraid.

Luo Chen knew what it was without asking.

It's just that this base, as a border stronghold of the empire, needs to report the situation to the empire regularly. If it loses contact, the empire will send troops to investigate.

Reporting to the Empire not only requires a communication key, but also requires a high-level commander at the base to report in person.

The second lieutenant felt that he still had value to be used, so he was not afraid enough.

Luo Chen crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked down at the other person with disdain:

"Sir Lieutenant Wendell, it seems you are not desperate yet."

"What do you think of our current behavior?"

"Do you regret your greed? If you had just accepted the money, perhaps none of this would have happened."

"Have you ever thought that if a person keeps a kind heart, it will not only be beneficial to his mental health, but also avoid many risks."

Lieutenant Wendel took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Lermontov, have you not considered the consequences of doing this? You dare to betray the Empire. Even if you hide on the edge of the earth, the Empire has the ability to kill you."

Luo Chen smiled and was not surprised by his words.

"You may be right, but that is for the future. No matter how powerful the empire is, it can't save you."

"Then why are you wasting your words? Just give me a quick death. Also, let me tell you one thing. Today is the scheduled contact time for the Empire. If you kill me, we will all die together. Hahahaha."

Lieutenant Wendell said through gritted teeth. He still firmly believed that the other party wanted to use him and would not kill him easily.

Who doesn’t know how to put on airs?

He didn't believe that Lermontov really dared to kill him.

"Ah...are all Ursus people so stubborn?"

Luo Chen closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly.

When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with pity and regret.

Luo Chen grabbed the other person's hair and violently pulled him in front of him:

"I checked your resume and found that you have never done anything harmful to the world except for your greed for money."

"Everyone who knows me knows that I am a saint. If I can kill someone, I always want to rescue him and give him a brand new life."

"I think you are still worth saving."

"Stuart and the tax collectors went too far wrong. I couldn't save them. But I don't want the tragedy to happen again with you."

Lieutenant Wendel looked into Luo Chen's eyes, and his back couldn't help but feel a chill, and goose bumps all over his body.

The other party's words, combined with his sincere look that showed he wanted to save people.

It directly caused all his five senses to become dysfunctional.

As the commander of a base, Wendell has met countless people.

Greedy, cunning, naive, I've seen them all.

His countless work and life experiences told him that the person in front of him truly had a look of compassion and a desire to save others.

But the other party's behavior and the implications of his words made him feel uncomfortable and terrified.

Stuart was killed.

The empire's tax collectors were also killed.

No wonder the other party was able to take out a box of money, they actually robbed the empire's tax collection team.

What about him?

"..."

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and the fear in his heart, like a tsunami, was about to drown him.

However, at this moment, the signal receiving device in the communication room rang.

Pulled back his almost suffocated spirit.

"Haha... This is a communication from the Empire!"

Wendel seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the communication device in the room that was flickering with a faint light, as if it was a magical portal connecting to the outside world and conveying hope.

"Lermontov, if you kill me, you will die too!"

Luo Chen sighed and shook his head compassionately:

"Alas... poor child, if you admit your mistake to me now, I can still counsel you like a teacher."

"Since you are so stubborn, I can no longer treat you as a human being."
