A staff member, wearing white overalls and an information mask, rolled out a suit of armor and came over to explain, "This is the third set of power armor you've used, specially designed by the Science Council. It's very expensive, so please use it with caution."
Although I couldn't see the staff member's face clearly, I could tell his expression and tone were not very good: "What do you mean? Give me a look?"
The staff looked at me with disdain: "In less than half a year, you lost two sets of armor. With this money, you can rebuild a few more scrap metals. Do you really need to go into battle in person for a few more scrap metals?"
"Bang!"
Before the staff could react, I pressed my five fingers directly on his face and he fell heavily on the iron-wrapped platform.
I pinched the man's face hard and said, "If you have the guts to say that again, I might not beat you to death, but I will definitely throw you out like trash."
The staff member kept struggling: "Uh uh uh uh, I know, I know! My eyepatch is going to break."
I kicked him hard and let go. Only Liv stayed with me. Although she didn't like my tough approach to others, she understood that the commander did it for them, so she could only stay aside and keep silent.
I stood up slowly: "I'll ask Karenina to send the armor up later."
Liv: "Yes! Commander."
I listened to the noise outside and couldn't help but sigh: "Is Karenina still arguing with someone outside?"
Liv: "Hmm...it seems so."
Outside.
Karenina: "Huh? Why should I move?"
The staff member looked at Karenina's ferocious expression and was a little frightened, but still explained: "Your spaceship has no number, so you can't just park it casually. Besides, there will be other flying devices parked here later. I hope you can get out of the way quickly."
Karenina: "I've already applied for it, why don't I have a number?"
Staff: "But you previously applied for the numbers of the two damaged spacecraft you applied for. This time, this spacecraft needs a new number."
Karenina: "Each number corresponds to a spaceship. The last spaceship broke down, so I applied for a number and could use it on this spaceship. Why do you ask me to apply again?"
The staff member thought for a moment and said, "Because each spacecraft needs to be classified and sorted according to its purpose, we must apply for it again."
Karenina grew even angrier after hearing this. "You bastard, you're playing tricks on me, right? You're bullying us because we're constructs, right? You can still fool me with my fucking mother's high IQ, right? You're asking for a beating!"
She was about to start a fight, but luckily I left Li and Lucia there to prevent Karenina from beating anyone to death or maiming them.
Inside the command room.
Vanessa was sitting on a chair wearing a purple and black command uniform and black boots. Her delicate face was very beautiful with a hint of dominance. The only flaw was the scar on the right side of her face. It could obviously be treated with medical means, but Vanessa disagreed and kept playing with a black pen in her right hand.
I looked at the leisurely Vanessa with a bit of impatience: "Hey! I've been sitting here for almost three minutes, and you haven't said a word. What do you want to do?"
Vanessa slowly turned back to look at me, revealing a scar next to her right eye: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't notice."
Me: "You bastard! Are you kidding me?"
Vanessa rolled her eyes and looked behind me. "Where are your teammates? Why aren't they following you?"
I sneered, "To prevent you from disgusting me, I asked them to wait for me outside. Tell me the mission quickly and don't waste time."
Vanessa straightened up and stretched, pushing her back against the chair. She left her command uniform undone, revealing her white shirt and slightly raised breasts.
Vanessa: "Haha! Sorry, sorry, this time the mission is to take over the entire Middle East."
I was a bit shocked. "Huh? Such a large piece of land, several times larger than the ground base owned by the Sky Garden. Are those people from the Sky Garden really kidding?"
Vanessa: "I'm not kidding, this is real. Haven't you noticed how many constructs have been shipped into this base recently? They're all shipped in by the truckload, just like the slaves in the triangular trade. Everyone's value is being exploited to the utmost."
I thought about the large number of constructs equipped with simple weapons that I saw when I first came to the base. I guess this is what Vanessa was talking about.
Me: "Haha! The Sky Garden is becoming more and more inhumane. Aren't they afraid of the constructs rioting?"
Vanessa: "Not sure? But maybe those people in the Sky Garden are using this large-scale operation to find something that's harmful to humanity."
I immediately thought of the traitor mentioned during the battle with Huaxu's Sea of Consciousness, and tentatively said, "Could those people in the Hanging Garden be looking for a mole within their own ranks?"
Vanessa smiled as she heard what I said. "Indeed, you're worthy of being the Chief. You actually guessed it."
Me: "I just think that what has happened in recent years is too strange. Although I haven't encountered it much, the incident of the archaeological team going to the space station is very obvious."
Vanessa's expression grew increasingly serious, and she suddenly slammed the table. "That's right! Ever since I took over as ground commander, everything has become strange. For example, we were only conducting a small cleanup operation, but suddenly, several times more enemies appeared. We even sent scouts to investigate before the battle, but why did it turn out like this? I'm being manipulated by those mindless infected."
