Xu Le's hands were tied behind him by high-strength plastic ropes, and his body bent forward due to the heavy blow to his abdomen, looking like a very famous ancient punishment pose. Because of the pain, his face was flushed red, and the wound that was drying up was bleeding again. He opened his mouth and retched, but couldn't spit out anything.
This is already the effect after the tenth punch, Xu Le still didn't say a word, even if he was hit hard and fell to his knees, he still just squinted at the colonel in front of him, pursing his lips stubbornly ,in silence.
Colonel Lake's eyes gradually narrowed, but his face was as gloomy as before. When the soldiers in the Donglin Garrison Area started, he didn't stop him, because he had to hurry up and find the whereabouts of that damn mechanic. People, their subordinates can kill each other in one fell swoop and complete the glorious task assigned by their superiors.
He suddenly took out a pistol from his waist, aimed it at Xu Le's eyebrows, looked at the stubborn teenager and said coldly, "Give you three seconds. One, two..."
Colonel Lake's words were very natural, and his actions were very natural. Naturally, everyone thought that he would really shoot at the next moment, and the faces of the Donglin native soldiers in the temporary camp showed shock.
Xu Le's body finally trembled disobediently, but when Colonel Laker said three words, he still just looked ahead silently, his eyes were full of stubbornness and persistence, as if he was not afraid of this black hole at all. barrel.
Colonel Lake's pupils shrunk slightly, and he looked at the boy seriously again. He had already mastered enough information about Target 2, but when he really faced it today, he found that all the information was insufficient. Few 17- or 18-year-olds can face the violent intimidation of the army, and the death threats are still so persistent, but the boy in front of him did it.
Lake looked down at Xu Le's trembling legs and said indifferently, "I know you are afraid, but why are you still so afraid that you still refuse to speak?"
At this time, Xu Le said the first sentence after he was arrested by the army. He spat out bloody spit and said fiercely: "As a federal citizen, I have an obligation to cooperate with the military, but it does not mean I have an obligation to cooperate. Torture to extract a confession!"
Hearing these powerful words, Colonel Lake's expression changed slightly, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. It seemed that even he did not think that the reason why this young man was so stubborn was just based on such a simple reason.
Although the truth in this world is simple, how many people can really persist under the muzzle of a gun? Lake was silent for a few seconds, waved his hand, and drove out all the soldiers in the temporary camp. In the quiet room, there was only him standing, and Xu Le, who was half-kneeling on the ground.
After a heart-pounding silence, Lake said slowly: "Xu Le, seventeen years old, apprentice in the repair shop in the fourth block, goal 2... Actually, I know you well, maybe even better than yourself. I know What kind of person are you? You don't want to follow those orphans in the streets because you think it's wrong to bully the weak. You have a good reputation in Bell Tower Street and Pandan Avenue, and everyone thinks you are a kind person."
"It's just that I didn't expect that you, this little guy, is still such a persistent person." Colonel Lake said with a smile: "Faced with unfair and rude treatment, unconventional practices, even if the barrel of the gun is against your head, You are not willing to cooperate, such a stubborn and serious character is rare in this world."
"Faced with wrong things, there are many people who are willing to resist." Xu Le said with his head lowered.
Colonel Lake clapped his hands gently, and said with a slight mockery: "But the question is what is wrong? If you think our actions are illegal, then I can tell you the truth of the matter, and I hope you are law-abiding Citizens can draw conclusions based on their own judgment, and then see if they need to cooperate with our actions and explain the whereabouts of Feng Yu."
Xu Le bowed his head and was speechless. In fact, he could guess where Uncle Feng was hiding. No one but the two of them knew the secret of the mine. In the past two years, the two of them have rarely gone to the mine. Even if the military monitors it months in advance, it may be missed there. The most important thing is that, over the years to hunt bison over the electronic fence, Xu Le guessed that the blue light shielding device in Uncle Feng's hand might really be able to temporarily avoid the ubiquitous electronic surveillance.
It was precisely because Xu Le was thinking that the truth Colonel Lake said at this time did not shock him too much, but fell into contemplation again.
"He is a traitor of the Federation, he is a thug with more than 10,000 soldiers' lives in his hands, in this case, you still insist on the illegality of our methods?" Colonel Lake looked at Xu Le mockingly. The tone and expression kept hitting the boy's heart.
"I don't believe it." After being silent for a long time, Xu Le suddenly said, "If he is a spy who colluded with the empire, why would he hide in the Donglin District instead of going to the empire? You know, he seems to have this ability. "
Colonel Lake was silent, because he knew that the young man was very relaxed, and he simply pointed out the only loophole in this matter, which was the loophole he asked himself on the spaceship.
Xu Le suddenly raised his head and said seriously: "The court has not pronounced a verdict, so he is innocent, so I don't believe it."
To believe is to believe, an uncle who has been together for four years is obviously more trustworthy than these murderous soldiers. But even so, the brilliance of the Federal Charter still made Xu Le's eyes flash with a strong unease.
Colonel Lake noticed the change of emotion in his eyes and calmly asked: "Of course we need a court to try him, but the problem is that he is a fugitive. If we don't catch him, how will we bring him to justice? So whether it's for the sake of justice? , or the fairness of the law... I need your help."
He originally thought that his words had been able to destroy the young man's strong spiritual support, although he did not understand why the young man believed in procedural justice so much. However, Xu Le's next words completely disappointed him.
"You didn't come to arrest him, I believe you didn't even bring an arrest warrant." Xu Le looked at the colonel, his eyes narrowed, but a smell of determination oozes out, "You are here to kill him. !"
"Even if you are soldiers, you can't kill someone without trial, so please forgive me, I won't tell you his whereabouts unless I can ensure his life is safe."
Colonel Lake followed Xu Le's gaze and looked at the light spots on the light curtain. After a moment of silence, he said, "How do you know that we are here to kill and not arrest?"
This sentence can be regarded as a default of Xu Le's inference. Xu Le sat on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Those blue light spots are mechas, B4's rushing formation has always had only one function, and that is sniping without a way back... Since you only want to kill him, why should I help you? ?"
"I remembered, you have already signed up for the non-commissioned officer exam of the Ministry of Defense, but you are studying mechanics, how could you recognize the B4 rush formation?" Colonel Lake walked to Xu Le, lowered his head and said coldly: " It seems that I can confirm that you are Yu Feng's student, and you will be thrown into prison as an accomplice of the treason association."
"Trust me, you can only look up at the starry sky and the warships above the starry sky in the prison for the rest of your life." Colonel Lake walked outside and told the soldiers outside, "Continue to ask."
The sound of sizzling electricity and the sound of fisting and kicking sounded in the room. Colonel Lake lit a cigarette and contacted the Charter Bureau of the Capital Star Circle. After reconfirming the approximate range of target 1, he issued an order to pursue it. At this time, he felt a little calm in his heart, as long as the mechanic was still within the confines of the Federation, he would be sure to find him and kill him.
In the room, Xu Le was knocked to the ground by two soldiers. His hair was messed up and his body was covered in blood. No one noticed that his arms that were tied behind him were shaking gradually. made a fist.
