Chapter 287: Who is the real one?
The Cadian Sergeant to the side gave a light cough and said to Jack.
"It was those Modian Iron Guard who maintain order; they told us."
Only then did Jack realize who the muscular man was referring to as toy soldiers; those soldiers in their bright, flashy uniforms did indeed give off the feeling of being mere window dressing, though of course, having witnessed their strength, Jack would not truly think so.
Jack led his party into the Production Zone Headquarters, and the group's attire also drew the attention of those around them.
After returning to the office, Jack said to the two Sergeants behind him,
"I usually process documents in the office at night; do you have any plans?"
The Cadian Sergeant looked at the environment outside Jack's office and spoke to the Catachan Sergeant.
"Brother, my suggestion is that we take charge of the frontal protection, and you take charge of ambushing outside to take out any Alien that attacks the target!"
The Catachan Sergeant looked through the office glass to check the situation outside and soon nodded in agreement with the Cadian Sergeant's proposal.
"Let's do it! Damn it, I don't know what those Aliens look like!"
Soon, the two squads separated; the Cadian Squad split up, leaving two soldiers in the corridor, four soldiers inside the office, and the remaining four soldiers waiting for an opportunity in the room next door.
As the sky grew dark, the Catachan muscle men also found positions to conceal themselves, from which they could observe the situation at Jack's office.
Seeing the professional appearance of these two squads, Jack felt slightly more at ease and began to process the situations of the various production zones.
There were fewer and fewer people in the Production Zone Headquarters, with only a small number of people still on duty.
Jack processed documents until late at night, rubbing his slightly sore eyes, and slowly stood up from his office chair, wanting to walk to the window to relax.
But just as he showed the intention to walk to the window, two Cadian Sergeants came over to the window, checked that everything was correct, and left behind one sentence.
"Do not stay here for too long."
Seeing that the check revealed no issues, Jack walked to the window and looked at the dimly lit Shengchan Gongchang, which was currently still using noisy equipment to produce survival supplies and weapons and equipment.
Looking down, he discovered that his Secretary was arguing with that Catachan wearing a hat, and Jack asked.
"What happened? You don't need to be on duty today."
Jack saw his Secretary sweating profusely with anxiety and immediately let the Catachan Sergeant let his Secretary in; inside the room, the Cadian warriors instantly reacted with their bodies, waiting for a battle that could happen at any moment.
After this Secretary entered Jack's office, he looked at the four Cadian warriors in the room, hesitating whether to speak.
"It's fine, they are all our own people; we need to let them know some of the situation."
What Jack did not notice was that the Cadian Lieutenant silently turned on the recording inside his helmet and began to record Jack's current situation.
"Councilor Jack, a batch of substandard food has appeared in Production Zone 49; do we need to dispose of this food?"
Jack looked at the document handed over by the Secretary and slowly said.
"Dispose of it; use that food as the workers' lunch; at least it can reduce some of the losses."
Jack's Secretary looked at Jack at this moment, with a desire for slaughter hidden within, but quickly suppressed the desire for slaughter in his eyes.
At this time, this Secretary was trying his best to control his emotions, not letting himself be exposed.
The corridor lights outside the office were not bright, and two Cadian soldiers stood at the door of Jack's office, alert to the surrounding environment.
The two Cadian soldiers suddenly saw a staggering figure appear in the corridor, and it looked like the destination was here.
"Halt! State your purpose for coming here!"
A Cadian soldier sternly reprimanded and raised the M36 Kantrael-pattern Laser Gun in his hand.
"I... I am Jack's Secretary; the one inside is not me!"
The man's voice was weak, his steps were staggering, and he was still bleeding.
The Cadian soldier standing guard at the door still did not lower the Laser Gun in his hand, his gaze fixed on the suspicious person in front of him.
"Then you are also very suspicious; now, stand there immediately and do not move!"
Facing the Cadian soldier pointing a gun at him, this Secretary could only stand in place and wait.
Just as the Cadian soldier was telling the Cadian Sergeant inside about the situation here, this Secretary, whose body was stained red with fresh blood, fell to the ground with a "thud" and stopped moving.
The Cadian soldiers hiding in the next room also walked out of the room at this time, and seeing the man who claimed to be Jack's Secretary lying on the ground, they also vigilantly gripped their Laser Guns.
"Go and check the situation of that guy; we have already controlled the situation inside."
The Cadian Sergeant said to the Cadian soldiers on the communication channel; at this time, the Secretary had already been pinned to the ground by two Cadian soldiers, and he said to Jack with a panicked expression.
"Councilor Jack, what is going on?"
"Shut up! Heretic! Before we figure things out, you have no right to speak!"
A Cadian soldier exerted force with his arm, making the Secretary unable to speak, and he could only breathe rapidly on the ground.
Although Jack did not know what had happened, he had heard some of the commotion outside just now, but he did not know the content; he only knew that an abnormal person had appeared outside his office, and as for why his Secretary was controlled, it must be that his Secretary had also defected to the Alien Race.
Thinking of this, Jack somewhat wearily placed his palm on his face and rubbed his cheeks.
Outside the Production Zone Headquarters, the Catachan Sergeant curled his lip after hearing the commotion inside.
"Damn it, I knew that person definitely had a problem! How is the situation with our brothers over there?"
"Boss, the situation is currently under control; the person who appeared there just now has a second one appearing inside; there must be a Heretic inside!"
"Use your brain! Damn it, the two people might both be Heretics; what's unclear now is whether the other side has any follow-up deployments; observe the situation first before saying anything!"
The Catachan Sergeant patted the soldier beside him and cursed.
Outside the office, the Cadian soldier came to the side of the Secretary who had already fallen to the ground and stopped moving.
He vigilantly checked the other's vital signs; just as the Cadian soldier approached, the flesh and blood of the Secretary lying on the ground were constantly squirming, and this Cadian soldier made a prompt decision and fired directly at that mass of flesh and blood.
That flesh and blood exploded instantly after being hit by the first Laser Beam, and there were flesh and blood remnants everywhere.
"Careful! Something ran out from that flesh and blood! It's very fast!"
Several Cadian soldiers standing in the back shouted loudly, their eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, wanting to find the afterimage that had just flashed out from the flesh and blood.
