Chapter 273 I only want one person!
The controlled leader of the orc team trembled in Wei Huaiyu's hands. Fear made him dare not hide anything, and he began to tell everything he knew.
"We received a secret order yesterday saying that our bases in the Federation had been annihilated by the Federation. So, we received the mission to execute the original plan ahead of schedule."
Wei Huaiyu received news from other teams that all the orcs here had been controlled, and he now had plenty of time to interrogate them. He looked at the orc leader coldly and continued to ask: "What was your original plan?"
The orc leader swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling a little: "During your New Year's Day, the Federation's defense will be relatively relaxed. We originally planned to launch a large-scale attack on New Year's Eve, targeting several important transportation hubs and energy facilities in the Federation, creating chaos, and taking the opportunity to infiltrate more forces into the Federation..."
It is now January 10, 2029, and it is only a dozen days away from the Chinese New Year. It is impossible for the orcs with such a thorough plan to cause such harm. There must be information that they have not found.
"We originally planned to start detonating the bombs at 7:30 tonight, but we saw that you were blocking various sections of the road, so, so..." The orc saw the increasingly dark face of the human in front of him, and he didn't know whether he should continue to tell him everything he knew.
"Take this orc away and continue questioning him." Wei Huaiyu threw the orc to the soldier beside him and asked him to follow up.
"Yes!" the soldier responded and quickly dragged away the leader of the orc squad.
Wei Huaiyu's gaze fell on the bloodstains and building wreckage not far away, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. Lan Yuncheng's actions were highly confidential and only a few people knew about them. Their people have already controlled every orc gathering place, so how did these orcs get the news?
What would the sky be like if there was no news of the rebellious orcs?
"Xiao Zhang." Wei Huaiyu called the intelligence agent Xiao Zhang in a low voice.
"Colonel." Xiao Zhang stood at attention and saluted, his eyes determined, waiting for the next instruction.
"Go and investigate all the people entering and leaving Tianquan Star in the past few days. Don't let go of any suspicious people. Also, keep a close eye on the next two days!" Wei Huaiyu's tone was full of unquestionable seriousness.
"Yes!" Xiao Zhang answered, turned around and left quickly to start his mission.
"Xiao Liu."
Another soldier ran over.
"Take your men and arrest all those who have any connection with this orc's apparent identity. If anyone resists, treat them as traitors!"
"yes!"
At the same time, there was a sudden violent vibration where Lan Ximeng was. Lan Ximeng subconsciously supported the person next to her, and at the same time quickly exerted her mental power to try to find the source of the vibration.
The soldiers in charge of defending outside the door also reacted quickly, picking up their weapons and pointing them outside.
"What's going on?" Alice's heart tightened and a thought flashed through her mind: Did another explosion occur somewhere? In the interstellar age, earthquakes are almost non-existent, and such tremors can only be man-made attacks.
Lan Ximeng's mental power checked the surrounding area, and found nothing unusual except the army fighting against the orcs, the search and rescue team, and the orcs being chased and beaten.
At this moment, the soldiers outside seemed to have discovered something and ran towards the security post almost at the same time.
"Everyone get down!" The leading soldier A shouted, and quickly pressed a nearby citizen under him, using his body to shield him from possible danger.
Lan Ximeng and the others had not yet reacted to what was happening, but they instinctively followed the soldiers' orders and quickly lay on the ground with their heads in their hands.
"Boom!" Almost in the next second, a loud noise came from the sewer outside the security post, and a sewer cover was lifted up by huge flames and flew straight into the sky!
Flames shot up into the sky, and a huge heat wave instantly swept across the entire security post, making everyone in the room feel as if they were in a furnace, scorching the flames and making it hard for them to breathe.
Lan Ximeng felt like she was trapped in a sea of fire. The constant temperature suit on her body was completely ineffective in such high temperatures. The burning heat made her sweat all over. Her clothes and hair were instantly soaked with sweat and stuck to her body.
The fire protection system on the ceiling was activated instantly. The liquid sprayed from the nozzle evaporated instantly in the high temperature before it could even fall down, turning into a cloud of hot steam that spread out.
The flames lasted for a full ten seconds, and the deafening sound of burning filled the entire space, as if it was going to devour everything. Amid this huge noise, the terrified shouts and cries of the surrounding crowd were completely drowned out, leaving only the roar of the flames ringing in the ears.
After a while, the flames finally went out, and the crowd began to cautiously stick their heads out, all looking towards the outside that was scorched by the flames.
At this moment, everyone was secretly thankful that the construction quality of this security post was high and no corners were cut. Apart from feeling a little uncomfortable due to the scorching heat wave, none of them suffered any substantial harm.
"Everyone! Keep lying down!" Soldier A released the citizen's body that he was holding down. He was closest to the door, and his clothes had begun to curl and deform due to the high temperature.
After hearing this, the people who had just stuck their heads out immediately lay down again, no longer daring to be curious.
Soldier A and Soldier B beside him held their weapons tightly and watched the situation outside vigilantly through the window.
Lan Ximeng was far away from the door, and apart from being sweaty, she did not suffer any other injuries. Some soldiers quickly took out healing sprays from their equipment, lay on the ground, and carefully crawled forward, approaching the injured citizens and soldiers to provide them with first aid.
"What's going on?" a voice asked with a slight tremor.
"I don't know. How could the sewer explode? There are robots coming here to clean it every day. It's impossible for there to be methane or other gases that would explode due to open flames." Hao Ren frowned, his tone full of confusion.
"Have those gangsters started setting off explosions again?" another voice interrupted, with a hint of fear in its tone.
"No! I don't want to die yet!" A young voice cried out from the crowd, her voice filled with despair and fear.
"Stop making noise! We have soldiers protecting us here!" a voice tried to calm the crowd.
Alice and Lan Ximeng put their heads together and whispered, "How is it? Did you find anything?"
Lan Ximeng shook her head, with a hint of confusion between her brows: "From the fire just now to now, I haven't detected anything."
Her mental power can obviously detect very long distances, so why can't she see anything? Even in the sewer, she didn't find any problems.
At this time, Soldier A suddenly spoke up with a hint of nervousness in his voice: "Something is coming up from the sewer, everyone please stay hidden!"
What?
Lan Ximeng has been concentrating her mental energy in the direction of the sewer, but the feedback she gets is still nothing. Is this like covering your entire body with an anti-viewing coating?
"Bang, bang, bang!" Suddenly, a series of blue light waves shot out from the direction of the sewer, instantly hitting the door and windows of the security post, making a deafening sound. The impact of the light waves caused the entire building to shake slightly, as if it would be pierced at any time.
"Ahhhh!" The crowd was frightened by the sudden attack, and terrified screams instantly filled the entire space.
"Listen up, humans inside!" A cold and deep voice came from outside, "I don't care about your lives, I only want one person!"
