Chapter 43: Teenager's Trick
Ai Zhe watched as the black flag slowly inserted into the edge of the camp, rustling in the wind like a heavy and cold signal.
He frowned and felt uneasy. He felt that these people were obviously well prepared and it didn't seem like a simple alliance.
He suddenly interrupted the meeting, his tone even a little flustered:
“I think we’re moving too fast!”
Brandon's eyes widened:
"Aizhe, you have no right to speak!"
Then he roared angrily in an aggressive tone.
The members of the Black Light Organization remained silent, their faces hidden in black robes and masks, like hunters waiting for a storm.
Noson knew what to do now.
He took a step forward and stood beside Ai Zhe.
His tone was firm and his eyes were calm:
"What you're doing is too dangerous. And... I can't understand why the Black Light Organization wants to train with us?"
"Is your true purpose the resources of the Zewo Waste Valley, or... something else?"
"You have no right to speak here! You two are just frontline soldiers, just following orders!"
Brandon was furious by now and rushed over and pointed at the two men.
"The warriors have the right to express their opinions. They just think that this exploration mission is progressing too fast and may bring unnecessary risks to Zeta."
Lorraine came over, his voice low and steady, easing the atmosphere.
"Lorraine, don't forget, when Zeta originally had only ten members, I was one of them..."
"It seems... you joined later."
Brandon was a little displeased, looking at Lorraine with gloomy eyes, his tone full of arrogance and bullying.
"I know what's best for Zeta."
His tone was sharp, and he walked slowly around Lorraine twice with an unhappy look on his face, as if he was publicly declaring his power and sense of oppression.
The representative of the Black Light Organization said nothing, but sat quietly there, like a shadow, expressionless.
At this time, a Zeta leader stood up and said:
"I agree with Lorraine. The second Zervo Waste Valley operation was too hasty."
"Right now, we should adjust our weapons and reorganize our troops."
"Moreover, the Zerg have recently begun harassing and attacking us. They may have noticed our deployment."
"Only by properly adjusting the weapon systems and the Legion's response plans can we ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Then, the senior founder glanced at the Black Light Organization representative, paused for a moment, and said:
"Members of the Black Light Organization can continue to stay here for training, but the command and timing of this operation will still be controlled by Zeta."
He spoke very decisively, leaving no room for rebuttal.
The meeting ended immediately, and everyone dispersed, leaving a somber atmosphere.
*
Aizhe and Noson walked towards the training ground with heavy faces.
Colonel Sting will test the new weapon platform again tonight, and they will also go to participate in the actual test.
Up ahead, several people were talking near the communication point on the west side of the camp.
There was an unusual urgency in both the movements and the tone of voice that caught their attention.
Brandon, the Black Light representative, Colonel Sting, and the Black Light Corps captain were gathered together, and the atmosphere was unclear.
"Mr. Sting, the Black Light Corps is currently short of manpower."
The black light representative lowered his voice, his tone slightly pleading.
"We do need to expand our forces."
Aizhe and Noson looked at each other with tense expressions, then walked forward.
"We want to recruit a group of young, strong and physically fit reserve soldiers from the refugee camps and existing residents."
The man from Black Light continued.
"If the results are satisfactory, they can officially join Blacklight in the future to alleviate our shortage of elite combat power."
"Okay! Sounds like a good idea!"
Brandon agreed readily, in a relaxed tone and without hesitation.
Ai Zhe and Noson frowned, their expressions becoming serious.
The Black Light Organization's chief representative's face was hidden under the black cloth, and his eyes, covered by the brim of his hat, suddenly glanced at them.
There was an undisguised coldness in that look, as if he was planning something.
A sense of danger looms.
The captain of the Black Light Legion also glanced at them, turned around and left without saying anything, his steps silent and the atmosphere strange.
Aizhe and Noson sensed something was wrong and began to worry.
Recruitment began quickly.
The Black Light Legion entered the cooperation as a frontline mission community.
Anyone who joins will have permission, can access weapons, and even learn the operating procedures.
Understand Zeta's equipment mechanics and technical details.
This sudden and relaxed recruitment method made them feel deeply uneasy.
"Who do you think you are!"
Aizhe and Noson found General Brandon and asked about this matter.
"You can even challenge my orders? Who do you think you are?"
Brandon scolded them. A thin old man who preferred to be in power and had an angry look on his face.
Noson then found his father Lorraine and tried to explain the problem:
The Blacklight Legion is now cooperating as a frontline mission community and has suddenly begun recruiting. Those recruited may have the opportunity to quickly come into contact with new weapons and research and development content.
This is too casual and dangerous.
The atmosphere was very tense for a moment.
Lorraine made a gesture of understanding, then walked towards the windowsill with his hands behind his back and a gloomy look on his face.
"Observe first. If we object rashly, it will only make us look guilty and short-sighted."
"The order has been issued. Forcibly overturning it will only disrupt the deployment."
"Don't worry, they can't touch the weapon core."
"Our real advanced version is still under lockdown testing, so they can't access it."
"Let them participate in training first. If it's just to train soldiers and request resources, that's fine."
"But if there are other intentions..."
His expression turned cold.
"This is a good opportunity to expose the true face of potential enemies."
"Furthermore, if Black Light truly intends to annex and attack us, and this plan is thwarted, they will sooner or later resort to other, more radical tactics."
Lorraine paced twice, his tone cold.
"I will remind Tuman and the other scientific teams to keep the core secrets of the weapon secrets secret and prevent anyone from accessing them."
"In the meantime, please observe first and notify me immediately if anything happens."
Ai Zhe and Noson nodded with heavy expressions.
As they walked towards the training ground, they noticed a few more people at the edge of the field.
Aizhe and Noson were both stunned.
Several members of their legion were standing there, looking troubled.
"The Black Light people... just picked a few training candidates they liked."
"Let these people wait here, saying they want to join us for a trial training and cooperation assessment."
The team member who spoke looked embarrassed.
At this time, several Black Light warriors were already standing at the edge of the training ground.
Several "targets" they had selected in advance also stood neatly on the other side.
Among them was the white-haired boy.
Ai Zhe frowned and looked at him.
The boy was also looking at him, as if he had been waiting for his reaction, and tilted his head slightly.
Give an innocent smile.
Like a little snake with bright eyes in the grass, it is harmless, but it makes people feel cold in their hearts.
Ai Zhe's heart suddenly tightened, as if some instinct was subconsciously warning him.
A very slight cold sweat broke out on the skin.
He remembered that morning when he asked the boy what his name was.
The boy said at the time: "My name is Bellandi."
The moment Ai Zhe raised his head, he was stunned.
He seemed to be reminded of some memories...
Belandi...the English letters printed on the box that used to hold "Little Spider" are exactly the same.
It was the name of a toy brand that had been abandoned as early as the beginning of the apocalypse.
At that time, Ai Zhe searched in the abandoned factory for a long time and finally found a batch of remaining paper boxes and wooden boxes.
The brand name printed on the boxes is Bellandi.
At that time, he put the little spider he picked up into the box, and it became its little nest.
Ai Zhe was stunned.
