Chapter 178 I Know How to Turn!

This explosion shocked everyone present.

Wang Qing's expression immediately became solemn.

There is still one?

How much money did the rebels spend on this raid? Why do they dare to spend so much money? Has Commander Rotterit's itinerary been leaked?

Without any time to think, Wang Qing made a decisive decision and immediately shouted: "Protect Commander! Move immediately!"

The first to react were six Eta warriors. They kept Lotrit tightly in the middle. On the outer layer were a dozen human warriors, who surrounded all the Eta people.

Everyone took out their weapons.

Without this accident, the human guards would not have had the chance to get so close to the Eta people, and they would never have been allowed to show their weapons in front of Commander Rotrit.

That would be killed immediately.

The group of people hurried towards the nearby safe house.

But at this moment, a guard suddenly, with lightning speed, directly aimed his gun at Rotterit's position and pulled the trigger.

The sound of the firearm was extremely small, barely attracting any attention in the chaotic situation.

But Wang Qing happened to notice it.

His eyes were full of shock.

Because at this moment, he had already recognized the format of this firearm.

That is not the standard firearm of the Guard, that is, it is a firearm that has appeared in large numbers on the black market recently and was supplied by the mysterious arms dealer!

Damn it! Rebels!

But... I have to say that the security quality of the six Eta soldiers is indeed quite high.

They blocked Rotterit almost completely, leaving almost no shooting angle.

According to the ballistics, the bullet should hit them and not Rotterit.

but……

After the bullet was activated, the next moment, a ball of hot gas was violently sprayed out in mid-air. Under the reverse thrust, the trajectory of the bullet - or micro-missile - changes directly.

No shooting angle? But I know how to turn corners!

The next moment, there were three intensive bangs and bangs. Under the protection of six Eta warriors, Rotrit's body fell straight down.

Wang Qing's eyes turned red instantly.

"I kill you!"

He roared and lunged at the guard.

He had a vague impression of this guard and knew he was an elite. Otherwise, it would be impossible to be transferred to a place so close to Rothrit.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a spy of the rebels and a traitor!

The guard glanced at Wang Qing contemptuously, and before anyone could react, he put the gun to his chin and pulled the trigger.

The next moment, his head was blown to pieces, and he was too dead to die.

Wang Qing gasped for breath, looked at Rotrit who fell on the ground, and saw that Rotrit's space helmet had been blown to pieces.

A soldier next to him took off his aerospace helmet without hesitation and put it on Rotrit's head. He slumped on the ground. Although it was possible for humans to survive, it was almost impossible for them. The poisonous air corroded his body.

But... there was a big hole in Rotrit's head.

Even if you put on an aerospace helmet, it's useless.

Wang Qing lost his sight and slowly collapsed to the ground.

A person who ranked among the top five most powerful people in the entire solar system was assassinated on Mercury like this? Assassinated under his own nose?

The chief executive of Mercury State and a group of senior officials looked at Rothritt who fell on the ground and the guard who had committed suicide. Their faces were all drained of color.

At this time, the gunfire outside was still fierce. Moreover, there were still faint sounds of explosions coming from inside the ground base.

The next day, Earth, Governor's Mansion.

In the first conference room, more than a dozen high-ranking officials from the Eta people on Earth hurried over, each with solemn expressions. Senior officials who were not on earth and could not make it also participated in the meeting through video projection.

"Rotterit was assassinated during his inspection of Mercury and unfortunately died. Furthermore, the Mercury 1 space elevator was severely damaged and temporarily lost all functions. It is expected to take a year to repair."

Malentin announced the news directly.

"What?! It's actually true!"

Senior officials had heard the news before, but they all couldn't believe it. At this moment, it was finally confirmed by Marundin himself, and he was immediately shocked.

The fact that the Mercury 1 space elevator was severely damaged is not a big deal. This is not the only one on Mercury.

But Rotterit actually died, this...

"A mere rebel assassinated the commander of Eta Fleet? This, this..."

A great sense of absurdity enveloped the minds of Eta's senior officials.

"Revenge! You must take revenge! Those despicable humans and despicable rebels who dare to assassinate us Eta people must pay the price!"

"Yes, investigate strictly! Anyone responsible and anyone with suspicion will be killed!"

At this moment, no matter whether they were close to Rotterit or not, all ETA officials shared the same hatred.

Malentin said solemnly: "Retaliation must be retaliated. Otherwise, these despicable humans would think they were afraid of them. But..."

He changed the topic: "Router is dead, but the Pluto development strategy must still be implemented. The subsequent execution plan must be adjusted.

Wolfe, tell us about the assassination. "

"yes."

Wolfe stood up and said in a deep voice: "It has been found out that the rebels first used more than 3,000 people as bait to attack head-on.

More than 2,000 people were used as bait to attract attention from the side.

Then, more than a dozen spies lurking on the ground side of the space elevator deliberately created an explosion, forcing Commander Rothrite to move urgently, and during the emergency transfer process, he relaxed his vigilance against the people around him.

Finally, a spy lurking in the guard team completed the final blow at close range.

After a strict investigation of the exposed spies, the total number of spies implicated was as high as 158, all of whom died.

The spies buried by the rebels in the space elevator and the guard hall were caught in one fell swoop. "

Someone asked: "The spies didn't run away?"

Wolf whispered: "It is speculated that because they were worried that they would escape in advance and attract the attention of the vigilance force, affecting this operation, these spies did not escape in advance. After Rothrite was assassinated, these people knew that they had no chance of survival and committed suicide directly. ”

When the action started, these people were doomed to die. But in order to keep it secret, they still held their posts until the last moment, and then simply committed suicide, just to avoid attracting attention...

Wolf continued: "The total number of rebels who attacked from the front and the side was nearly 6,000. In order to create a tense atmosphere, they attacked and did not retreat. After about an hour of fighting, 2,800 people were directly killed and 536 were captured. Among them, 396 people committed suicide. Those who did not have time to commit suicide had confessed under the truth serum, but failed to confess any valuable information.

The rebels had obviously prepared for intelligence isolation in advance and were prepared for any rebel to be captured. At the same time, the rebels who participated in the battle were also prepared to die in this battle at any time. "

In the conference hall, although the Itar people were still full of anger, they fell silent.

An idea appeared uncontrollably in the minds of the Itar senior officials who attended the meeting.

Now it seems that we have underestimated the will of human resistance in the past...
