Chapter 21: Follow Me

...

Meanwhile.

Gray patrolled the first floor in power armor, making sure he was ready to go into battle as soon as the rebel assault began.

After walking to the largest room on the first floor, Gray is suddenly stopped, and when he turns to look at the person who called him, he realizes that it is Lawn.

Raun stood in the doorway, looking at Gray with a smile on his face, "Do you have time to talk?"

Gray frowned with extreme disgust in his heart, but he didn't know what came to mind, and suddenly nodded again: "Yes."

Lawne welcomed Gray into his room, closed the door, and went to the table to pour Gray a glass of wine himself.

"What is this?" Gray asked vigilantly, staring at his glass.

"Wine." Lawne smiled and picked up his glass, handing it to Gray with both hands.

"I've seen black wine and orange wine, but I've never seen transparent wine, I don't read much, don't lie to me." Gray took the cup in disbelief.

Lawne smiled and watched quietly as Gray picked up the glass and sniffed it in front of his visor.

Although he couldn't see Gray's expression under the visor, Lawne was sure he must be very intoxicated.

Then Gray opened his visor and drank the wine in the cup: "The emperor is above... What is it... Emperor..."

Gray was shocked and stunned by the delicious taste of the wine, and he was too timid to indulge in the pleasure.

"Poor man." Lawne smiled and shook his head, "It's just a fruit-made wine, a trivial luxury, and of course, a delicacy that a nest man like you would not dare to dream of in his dreams."

With that, Raun made a move that shocked Gray by giving away all the remaining half bottles of cider.

"Thank you, sir." Gray took the wine in both hands and carefully placed it in the jetpack.

At this time, the relationship between the two has also become closer, and Gray is not as hostile to Lawne as before.

Raun first looked at Gray's attitude, and after thinking left and right, he decided to take it a step further: "You know, the Governor's cousin's wife is my sister, and I ..."

"Why was a nobleman like you sold?" Gray interrupted Lawne, questioning.

"Everything is the fault of the marshal, it is he who is too rash of the enemy, and it has nothing to do with the governor." Lawne answered the question, then continued to say what he wanted to say: "If we get out of here, I will nominate you to be the general of the Planetary Defense Force."

Hearing this, Gray raised his head and looked directly at Lawn, his eyes under his visor full of longing.

Becoming a general is something that the soldiers of the Lower Nest dare not imagine.

Gray knew that this meant that he could become a nobleman, leaving the dung-like lower nest with his family and friends and becoming a family in a clean and tidy upper nest area.

"But you get it." Lawne knew that Gray had been moved, "This is an exchange of interests, and you must also offer something, something that seems trivial to me, but is extremely important at this moment. "

"What is it?" Gray asked.

"Loyalty." Lawne replied.

"..." Gray didn't continue to respond, he lowered his head and pondered.

Seeing that he hesitated, Lawn was not in a hurry at all, as a nobleman who was proficient in conspiracy, he had a hundred ways to euphemistically test Gray's thoughts.

In Lawn's view, Gray is simply limited by useless interpersonal relationships, unable to make rational judgments and decisions about his future.

All it takes is a little temptation.

"You don't have to be in such a hurry to give me an answer." Lawn smiled and shook his head, "I'm going to inspect the other positions next, and tell the soldiers on the other positions that a person who can really accept the command of the entire defense line has appeared, and that is me, and I want to let them know about this matter clearly."

Gray listened quietly.

"If you want, take your power armor and other warriors like you, and come with me." Lawne continued.

After making the request, Lawn waited quietly for Gray's reply.

If Gray nodded in agreement, it meant that he longed for power and status, although he couldn't get out of useless interpersonal relationships for the time being, and he couldn't make up his mind to betray Qin Mo, but sooner or later he would stand with him.

Under the visor of the power armor, Gray's expression was very complicated, he thought about it for a long time, got up and walked to the door.

Lawne was disappointed to think that Gray was trying to turn him down, but Gray immediately pushed open the door and made a gesture of please, "I should obey your orders, sir."

"Very good, soldier!" Satisfied, Lawne walked out of the room smiling.

In the hallway, Lawne strode forward with his hands behind his back, his aura overshadowed by Gray following behind him.

Raune was so happy that he didn't notice or notice how fierce Gray's expression was under his visor.

...

Next door.

Lylie also has her own room, which existed before the building was expanded into a fortress, with a bedroom and bathroom, and is fully equipped.

Since there is even a water supply inside the fortress now, just unscrew the tap and the water that can be used for bathing will flow out, and this water has a strong stench of filter, but what more could you ask for in this bottom nest?

Lai locked the door and lay down on the mat after taking a shower, reminiscing about what had happened today.

Then Laili thought of the scene when Qin Mo was sent back just now, Qin Mo took off his face armor to reveal his true appearance.

This man gave her a special feeling.

It's not spring heart, it's not reverence or gratitude, but it's familiar, and I always feel as if I've seen it somewhere.

Out of the professional habits of an intelligence officer in the Ministry of Justice, Lai Li took out her personal information terminal and inquired about the name Qin Mo in the information database of the Ministry of Justice.

There is only one outlandish name in the nest capital, and the person who gave it is in the information database of the Ministry of Justice.

[Name: Qin Mo]

[Prisoner No. 444.] ]

[Reason for arrest: An uncertified psyker who attempted to use psionic energy to murder others.] ]

Under this string of messages is a photo of Qin Mo, who looked very decrepit when he was caught and taken by someone from the legal department.

"Number 444!" Lai Li gasped and slammed the information terminal shut, shuddering.

She remembered where she had seen Qin Mo.

When capturing Qin Mo!

It was precisely because of her participation in the dangerous operation to capture Qin Mo that Laili was qualified to be promoted to intelligence officer, and when Qin Mo was arrested, she watched from the side, but only saw a glance.

"The Emperor is above!" Laili hurriedly put on her clothes and pushed open the door, and walked towards the room where Raune was, he had to report to Rauen that Qin Mo was a prisoner.

But when he reached the door of Lawn's room and pushed it in, he saw no one.

"Raun went out with Gray." Grote, who had replaced Gray patrolling the first floor, walked over and looked down at Lylie from the power armor.

"Good evening sir, can you take me to the Legion Commander?" Lylie asked very respectfully.

"If you have something, please report directly to Qin Mo." Grote said.

"I'm sorry, but I really have something very important."

"Do you know where the head of the rebels is or what? Otherwise, don't talk nonsense, you're a guy from the legal department. "

"Please... Mr. ..."

"..."

"Why don't you let me take you to Lawne?"

A voice that sounded terrible to Lylie sounded behind her.

Lai Li turned around tremblingly and saw Qin Mo.

Qin Mo smiled very gentlemanly, and stretched out his hand like a good person: "Come on, ma'am, I'll take you to find Lawn."

"I'm not looking for a legion commander anymore." Lylie shook her head vigorously and walked back to the room as if nothing had happened.

But Qin Mo blocked her path and ordered in an irreversible tone: "You don't have to look for Lawn, but you have to come with me."
