Chapter 129 The Body Is Missing
People like Augustine who have both fame and wealth now don’t care who the company belongs to.
Liu Cheng was really afraid of being poor before.
Now when he heard about starting a company, no matter whether he was short of money or not, he always wanted to be a boss again.
“How long do you think it will take to recruit people?”
Liu Cheng asked Augustine.
Augustine said:
“I just need to go to the forum of the garbage man and send a video message showing my face.
The rest is a matter of face-to-face interviews. People always have to choose people they trust, right?
Plus the round-trip flight, it will take less than a month.”
Liu Cheng said:
“It just so happens that I have just been appointed as a sergeant, but my class unit is seriously short of people, and I shouldn’t go to the front line during this period.
I will stay at the regiment and wait for you.”
Augustine didn’t expect Liu Cheng to be at the level of a sergeant at such a young age. It seems that special operations forces really have fast promotions.
Of course, the premise is that he is the one who survives.
The two exchanged private communication channels and said goodbye to each other.
Back on the military spaceship, the staff saw Augustine driving away, and they knew that this trip was not in vain.
At least he had done what the Corps Commander had told him to do.
The staff cleaned up the sunflower seed shells that were scattered everywhere, and drove the spaceship back to the regiment headquarters.
In the afternoon, the staff member found Liu Cheng again.
Liu Cheng was puzzled, wondering what tricks Augustine had done again?
The staff member said:
"No, this time the Corps Commander personally came to you and asked you to go to his office."
"The Corps Commander personally came to me?"
Liu Cheng was puzzled, but he still followed the staff member and went to Li Ronghao's office together.
When they arrived at the door of the office, the staff member pressed the doorbell and did not go in with Liu Cheng.
After Liu Cheng entered the room, he stood at attention and saluted, saying:
"Liu Cheng, the sergeant of the Wolf Squad of the Second Company of the First Battalion, reports here!"
Li Ronghao got straight to the point:
"I called you here this time because there is something I must let you know."
"The body of the eight-legged insect that you risked your lives to bring back has disappeared."
Liu Cheng asked in surprise:
"How could this happen?"
Li Ronghao explained:
"After receiving the report I submitted, the United Government attached great importance to the situation of the eight-legged insect.
I was ordered to send a medium-sized spacecraft to transport the body of the eight-legged insect to the headquarters of the United Government for research.
As a result, the spacecraft was attacked while flying in the star field and was destroyed.
All the soldiers and medical staff on board died, and the body of the eight-legged insect disappeared."
Li Ronghao turned on the holographic projection and showed Liu Cheng some photos of the attack on the spacecraft that were classified as confidential by the military.
"The ship carrying the corpses of the eight-legged worms was attacked by another military ship.
According to the confessions of the arrested crew members, they received an order from their superiors to carry out a secret mission.
The United Government followed the clues and confirmed the identity of the senior government official who issued the order.
It was confirmed that he was the same person who issued the order prohibiting investigation to us a year ago."
Liu Cheng asked:
"Since the identity of the instigator is known, have you caught him?"
Li Ronghao shook his head and continued:
"By the time the arresting personnel arrived at the scene, the official was already dead.
And there were signs of wounds on the back of his neck that were controlled by the eight-legged worm.
Although it is unknown why the eight-legged worms would not hesitate to abandon the puppet chess pieces left in the senior management of the United Government to protect the corpses of their own kind.
However, the whole incident has made the United Government understand that this kind of eight-legged worm It is definitely a threat to all mankind.
Therefore, my superiors also paid attention to the content about you and Song Ziming in my report.
It was decided that within a reasonable range, I would meet all your needs.
Tell me, what do you want to propose now? "
Li Ronghao looked at Liu Cheng curiously. Liu Cheng thought for a moment and said:
"Commander, I heard that it is difficult to buy a Gundam mecha even if you have money. I wonder if you can help me get a Gundam mecha for self-defense with your military background?
Of course, I will find a way to get the money, and I will not let the army advance me. "
Li Ronghao laughed and said:
"You kid, you are really daring. Do you know how much a simple Gundam mecha costs?
Hundreds of millions! Where did you get so much money! "
Liu Cheng was stunned. He knew that the Gundam mecha was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive that he really couldn't afford it now.
Then he thought of Augustine's plan to set up the Garbage Man Company, and asked awkwardly:
"Well, Corps Commander, can we buy on credit first?"
Li Ronghao waved his hand, indicating that Liu Cheng didn't need to worry about it, and said:
"I will convey your request to the upper level, and it's none of my business whether the upper level agrees or not.
By the way, there is one more thing that you may need to do in person."
"Captain, just say it directly, as long as you don't want me to die, everything is negotiable."
Li Ronghao laughed and scolded:
"I heard Xiao Song say that you are greedy and afraid of death, but I didn't expect it to be true.
But compared to Xiao Song, being greedy for life and afraid of death is an advantage.
The matter is very simple. The United Government lost the corpse of the eight-legged insect, so they plan to send troops to the planet ST44732 to search for it and see if they can find any traces of their nest.
You, Fu Yan, and Tian Tiantian are the most familiar with the situation on the planet ST44732.
You three will be the guides, and I will send several company-level cadres to follow and protect you.
And the military decided to use this search opportunity to clean up all the remaining alien creatures above level three on the planet ST44732, and use it as the battlefield planet for the next batch of training missions for the graduates of the combat middle school. "
After this mission, the planet ST44732 will become a planet completely controlled by humans, and you will not have to stay here any longer.
I will arrange for you to go to the frontline at that time. Before that, I will assign personnel to your class troops, and you three must also be prepared."
Liu Cheng stood at attention and saluted again:
"Guarantee to complete the mission!"
In the next few days, Liu Cheng, Fu Yan and Tian Tiantian, under the personal protection of several company-level cadres, continued to search for traces of eight-legged worms in the sand sea of ST44732.
Finally, they found traces of eight-legged worms in a cave hidden by a stone-shelled crab.
And they found a large number of alien creatures of different races, as well as the bodies of the early members of the Marine Corps and the Wolf Squad.
But the eight-legged worms had long disappeared from the underground nest.
After confirming that the eight-legged worms had escaped from the planet ST44732, the Iron Blood Group where Li Ronghao was located increased the number of troops sent.
The alien creatures above level 3 on the entire ST44732 planet were completely cleared.
Only a few alien creatures of level 1 and level 2 were left unkilled, as opponents for the new batch of combat middle school graduates to train.
During this period, Liu Cheng also sent a communication request to Augustine to inquire about the progress of the company's establishment.
Augustine replied in the communication video:
"The progress of recruiting personnel is slower than I expected.
The experts in the garbage man business are unwilling to be under others, and I don't like those with average abilities. You wait for a while."
Liu Cheng also told Augustine that he would serve as a temporary examiner in the training mission of the combat middle school graduates.
Augustine warned:
"Although it shouldn't be too dangerous, you still have to be careful.
It's better to die than to let those strange eight-legged bugs know of my existence."
Liu Cheng nodded, knowing that Augustine cared about him, but didn't want to say it directly, so he agreed:
"Got it, when you come back, I will dissect the best star core fragments for you."
Augustine laughed and scolded:
"Tsk, can't you dissect out the star core for me? Must it be the star core fragments?"
