Xia Chujian thought, it was indeed him.
The female Marine who died was still very sharp and smart.
Xia Chujian remained calm and continued, "This matter is of great importance. Will you report the person responsible for this incident?"
Qiu Zijun immediately said seriously, "We must report it! Because that military operation was a complete failure!"
"Although we hunted the Wanshou Flying Fish, we lost so many Space Marines!"
Xia Chujian's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "But Star Marines don't count towards the casualty quota. If you say that, those people won't take it seriously."
Qiu Zijun frowned and said, "So that's how it is... I told them so many Space Marines were ambushed, but they didn't take it seriously."
Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow: "You don't know this?"
Qiu Zijun said frankly, "I just joined the army a month ago. This is my first mission. Sister Zhang and the others have been very kind to me, and I just want to return the favor."
Xia Chujian sighed. This was a new recruit who had not yet been affected by the hierarchy in Starfleet.
No wonder!
Qiu Zijun frowned in thought and asked, "Why don't the Star Marines count towards the casualties? Aren't their lives really lives?"
Xia Chujian put away the flamethrower on his left arm and said calmly, "You'll have to ask the military higher-ups about that. Aren't they the ones who set these rules?"
"Also..." Xia Chujian looked at the indignant female second lieutenant and said, "I heard from some Shang people that these marines were exchanged with them, and they were not ambushed by the Shang people and lost the battle."
What a joke! Even if they were really ambushed, these Space Marines could beat those indigenous people in minutes!
Qiu Zijun was shocked and cried out, "No way! How could it be an exchange?! This is impossible!"
Xia Chujian looked at her and completely understood her mental state of refusing to believe.
No explanation, just waiting for her to figure it out herself.
But Qiu Zijun seemed to be unable to figure it out, and said dejectedly: "This is impossible... I don't believe it... The captain, pilots, and officers are all good people, how could they do such a thing?"
"These people are also our comrades!"
Because of the word "comrade-in-arms", Xia Chujian chose to believe her and silently played the video she recorded with the Shao Siming mecha camera.
From the moment Xia Chujian saw the starry sky airship, her camera was working.
The video footage shot along the way may be more than what the military has.
Of course, these videos were actually shot by Qilu.
Qi Lu needs this information to make logical judgments.
But all Xia Chujian wanted was evidence.
When Qiu Zijun saw the dead people outside the deep pit say those words, she completely collapsed.
She covered her mouth and tears fell down.
Her originally pretty face now looked both delicate and strong.
Even Xia Chujian couldn't help but feel pity.
It’s a pity that she is still wearing a three-meter-high mecha and can’t hug Qiu Zijun or pat her shoulder.
So Xia Chujian didn't say anything, but just stood quietly by the side, waiting for Qiu Zijun to calm down.
At this moment, Xia Chujian suddenly felt a vibration of air in the air behind him.
The sensation was subtle, like a butterfly brushing against her helmet, or a leaf landing on her mech's shoulder.
If it were an ordinary person, no one would care about this feeling.
But Xia Chujian felt something was wrong.
She suddenly took off into the air. The explosive power of Shao Siming's black silver mecha was not comparable to that of ordinary mecha.
The speed of the movement at that instant created a huge airflow wave, knocking Qiu Zijun, who was standing next to her, to the ground.
And it was precisely because of Xia Chujian's actions that two sniper bullets whizzed past the place where she and Qiu Zijun had just stood.
Xia Chujian flew upwards and avoided the sniper bullet with a powerful silencer.
Qiu Zijun was simply lucky.
The airflow caused by Xia Chujian's soaring flight knocked her to the ground, and by chance, she also avoided the sniper bullet that was shot at her.
Bang!
The two sniper bullets passed through the open space and hit two coral trees in front.
There was a loud bang, and holes as big as heads were blown out on the stems of the two coral trees.
Flames and black smoke soon appeared at the entrance of the cave, and then quickly went out.
These big trees are grown from the mutation of underwater corals. They look like trees, but they are not plants but animals.
The trunks of these coral trees are still the secretions of dead coral polyps, and the main component is calcium carbonate.
The branches outside the main trunk are actually coral polyps living in groups.
When the two sniper bullets penetrated the outer layer of the coral polyps, they caused them to burn, but when they burned the main trunk inside, they stopped.
Because the main components of those coral trees are calcium carbonate, which is non-flammable.
As a result, the fire quickly went out, leaving only wisps of black smoke rising from the colorful coral trees.
Xia Chujian narrowed his eyes and said to himself, "...it's actually a sniper bullet with incendiary components."
"Weapons like this are quite advanced... Could there be other genetically evolved people here?"
If the mecha she was wearing was not made of special metal, it would be Shao Siming, but just an ordinary mecha made of conventional metal.
And that kind of incendiary sniper bullet, also called armor-piercing incendiary bullet, can definitely blow up conventional mecha.
