After the white flare was fired, the ground garrison halted its attack, and Hall immediately began his landing. However, as they landed and headed towards the ground command post, they saw an explosion. Fortunately, they hadn't left their mechs yet, protected by their energy shields, so no one was hurt. Hall, assuming it was Raman Baker's latest escapade, carefully piloted his mech to the ground command post, only to find a pile of mangled bodies.
To confirm Raman's identity, Hall ordered DNA testing on all the bodies. Perhaps Raman deliberately set off the explosion so he could escape? In short, it's better to be cautious.
"Report to the lieutenant, DNA testing has confirmed that this person is Captain Raman Baker." The soldiers tested the bodies on the ground one by one and finally found Raman's body.
Raman was dead? Hall frowned. If he had already signaled his surrender, why did he commit suicide? If he wanted to lure the enemy deeper, why did he detonate the bomb beforehand? This matter was extremely suspicious.
Meanwhile, soldiers continued to examine the remaining bodies. All soldiers had their DNA sequences registered with the military, so that if they died in battle, their remains could be repatriated. Although these individuals had allegedly betrayed General Williams, the fact had not been publicized, so the soldiers, as per customary practice, performed genetic testing on them and registered their deaths.
"Second Lieutenant, there is no record of this person in the gene bank." At this time, someone discovered something was wrong.
Hall immediately walked over and examined the man's body. Compared to the other bodies lying on the other side of the room, this one was the most seriously injured. It was shattered by the explosion, with almost no intact parts left. It seemed that the source of the explosion was this man...
It seems that someone doesn't want Raman to survive.
"I understand. You register all the bodies and then return."
"Yes, Lieutenant."
After registering all the bodies, they captured all the rebellious garrisons and escorted them back to the spaceship.
He had never expected that an explosion would occur on the spaceship, and that a killer had sneaked onto it! Fortunately, his father and Auckland were safe, otherwise he would not have been able to face the consequences.
"Has the killer's body been DNA-tested?" Hall also sensed something was amiss. These 25,000 men were carefully selected by Elaine from the Second and Fourth Armies, many of whom were strongly recommended by their superiors. How could someone have sneaked in? He suddenly remembered the man in the ground command center whose DNA didn't match. Raman would never allow a stranger to follow him, so there must be something fishy going on! Those men were all wearing mecha repairman uniforms, so they must be military personnel. It wouldn't be difficult to check them out.
"Lieutenant, we haven't had time to conduct genetic testing yet, but we've checked the missing persons and have confirmed their identities." They were so preoccupied with the explosion and busy treating the wounded that they hadn't yet gotten around to registering the DNA of the deceased. Fortunately, they had already checked the mecha mechanics to confirm the killer's identity, and five people were indeed missing. They had already identified them, and a direct comparison test using the DNA of the bodies would yield results quickly.
"Let me see their bodies." Except for the man who died in the explosion, the bodies of the four people killed by Oakland and Quentin were still intact. Hall and his team members came over to confirm their identities again.
Judging from their faces, many people confirmed their teammates, but their DNA test results did not match the records in the military gene bank.
"Second Lieutenant! Impossible, my brother can't be a traitor!" A young herald, with tears all over his face, knelt beside a killer and cried loudly. They were brothers and admired General Williams very much, and it was absolutely impossible for them to do anything to murder General Williams!
"I believe you. Someone is impersonating your brother." The DNA test doesn't match, but the faces and figures are exactly the same. It's obvious that these people are impersonators. Today's plastic surgery technology is very advanced. It's not impossible to create someone else's image in a short period of time, but it is illegal. To prevent identity theft, only medical cosmetic surgery is allowed. For example, if the face has suffered an accidental trauma, it is allowed to reshape the face or partially repair it, but it is not allowed to create an exact replica of another person.
There is no record of these people in the military gene bank, which means they are not soldiers at all. They are professional killers who were hired to infiltrate the team and wait for an opportunity to assassinate General Williams!
"Then my brother..." He wanted to ask if it was possible that his brother was still alive... ?
But before he could say anything, he already had the answer. If he wanted to have plastic surgery to look like another person in a short period of time, it would not be enough to rely on photos. It would be most convenient to directly use instruments to extract the face... He was afraid that his brother was in great danger.
Hall sighed and patted the herald's shoulder.
"Colonel Sean, please continue your investigation. Everyone on this ship must undergo DNA testing." To ensure no further problems would arise during the return voyage, Hall ordered Sean to perform genetic testing on every person on the ship. "Start with the heraldry technicians and mecha repair technicians first."
Heralds and mecha repairers generally have average physiques and receive less combat training, so it's easier to attack them and they're more likely to be targeted.
"Okay, I understand, but...does your fiancé need to be tested as well?" No one could impersonate the general's beast form, but Auckland, who was staying with the general, was also a heraldry master. Did he need a genetic test? Furthermore, he wasn't a soldier, so even if he did, there wouldn't be any corresponding data in the military's gene bank for comparison.
"He doesn't need it." Hall curled his lips, a rare gesture. "He's not someone that an ordinary person can impersonate."
Sean thought of Auckland's outstanding heraldic talent and the more than one hundred heraldry pieces he had made in one day. No one could possibly imitate such an ability, so he nodded in agreement.
Hall looked at him sympathetically. What he said just now was not just referring to Auckland's ability in heraldry. Sean didn't know that Auckland's seemingly fragile appearance was just an illusion.
Sean was very efficient. He had people conduct genetic tests one by one according to the list, and actually found two more people who looked abnormal, but they immediately committed suicide, leaving him no chance to question them.
Although there were no survivors and the person behind the scenes could not be identified, Hall was still able to guess the mastermind behind the scenes, and it was none other than the ruthless old man Arnold Percy!
Well, their most important goal this time has been achieved. They successfully repelled the Zerg, rescued their father, eliminated the traitors, and discovered a resource star with rich energy stone veins. This mission can be considered a success.
Next, Sean locked up all the rebels he had captured before, and the spaceship began to return. However, the general's injuries had not yet recovered and he could not enter the repair cabin. Therefore, the spaceship did not use black hole compression technology on its return journey, but through space jump. Although the speed was slower, it had the least impact on the general's body.
When Hall arrived at General Williams's lounge, he saw Oakland sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed, meditating. A giant white tiger with black and gold stripes lay in the middle of the bed, fast asleep. The sound of the door opening caused both man and tiger to open their eyes simultaneously, only to close them again when they saw Hall.
After locking the door, Hall transformed into his animal form, quickly jumped onto the bed, grabbed his father's fur, and climbed onto his father's back. However, the tiger didn't even blink. His son was such a small fur ball, he didn't weigh much at all. If he liked to lie down, then let him lie down.

After Hall came back: "I was completely bewildered. I know my wife is not useless. She taught herself to make heraldry, so it's considered a family tradition. I can barely accept that she has a higher force value than a combat master, but why can she also heal... I'll act cute and calm down first... "
