First of all, the timing of the two of them leaving the forward operating base and the appearance of the snipers at Mt. Dashi was so consistent it was difficult to explain.
According to P31921, Milo’s reason for leaving the base was so favonovel.com could go into the mountains to pick some medicinal herbs. However, P5092 was certain Milo’s medicine was not an ancestral remedy. Instead, it was conjured up by Milo’s superpower. Otherwise, it would not have such a miraculous effect.
Others might still be superstitious enough to believe in secret ancestral remedies, but P5092 only believed in science. Science was what told favonovel.com there were no secret ancestral remedies in this world that could make a wound heal in just three short days.
One might argue the plants had also mutated, but to say that the remedy was passed down from their ancestors, did the plants already mutate when their ancestors formulated this remedy?
That was the flaw in the story!
And that was why P5092 ordered his deputy commander to return all of the Trinity Institute’s suitcases so it would help Milo cover up this matter.
Now that P31921 was telling favonovel.com Milo had claimed favonovel.com needed to go out to gather herbs, P5092 confirmed that Milo was the one who helped favonovel.com out in the battle on Mt. Dashi. Moreover, from a certain point of view, P5092 would also instinctively agree with what P31921 had told him, even if favonovel.com did not know about those details, because that young man was far too special.
Thinking back, the other party displayed no fear at all around him, not because favonovel.com was carefree by nature, but simply because favonovel.com was not afraid of him.
When P5092 realized how close favonovel.com was to such a dangerous person, favonovel.com even felt some lingering fear.
What a close shave!
P5092 asked, “If I’m not wrong, it was that girl who accompanied favonovel.com out of the base?”
“That’s right. Your guess is too accurate,” P31921 flattered.
“There’s no use trying to flatter me.” P5092 asked calmly, “Have you told anyone else about this?”
“No, absolutely not,” P31921 assured him.
“Very good, continue keeping it a secret. If I find out that you leaked this, I’ll court martial you myself.” P5092 said calmly, “Tell me in detail what went awry with the plan tonight.”
“Everything was going according to your plan initially. The students started off with the cultural show, and as expected, the situation at the FOB quickly attracted an attack from the barbarians.” P31921 said, “Moreover, we also successfully lured them to the armory. The special forces encircled them there and ensured they couldn’t escape.”
“But an accident happened. We don’t know who launched a sneak attack on the supply convoy that caused us to suffer heavy losses. However, we now have an idea of where the attacker came from. We found a note at the entrance of the command center saying that the Experimentals have reappeared. It also said we should head to the west of the base to check on the situation. Our people who are investigating should’ve found some clues by now,” P31921 said.
“Experimentals?” P5092 was stunned for a moment.
Of course favonovel.com knew what the Experimentals were, but just like Milo, favonovel.com did not expect this term would suddenly get brought up again in front of him.
P5092 said anxiously, “Hurry up and figure out the situation. I want conclusive news about whether the Experimentals are still in existence.”
After that, P5092 ended the call and sat quietly in his command tent.
He recalled his interactions with Milo. For some reason, there was a hint of a smile on his face. P5092 did not know why favonovel.com was smiling, but favonovel.com suddenly found the matter to be very interesting.
The only thing that P5092 could not understand was why such an extremely powerful young man like Milo was a doctor.
He went on a killing spree while saving people’s lives?
What were his motives?
Wait!
P5092 started to carefully recall some of the other incidents. But as his memory was not as good as Bruce’s, favonovel.com had to go through the old intelligence files.
He noticed some information. When they encountered the Trinity Institute, those doctors had just made their escape from Stronghold 31.
Why had Milo appeared at Stronghold 31 during that time?
And what had happened at Stronghold 31 that day?
P5092 had collaborated with T5081 from the special forces for some days, so favonovel.com knew very well that T5081 kept getting intercepted during his mission at the Virtuora Consortium.
Based on T5081’s description, the secret prison had been destroyed, the normal prison was raided, and Lionel was assassinated.
Then… The Virtuora Consortium’s intelligence agency was also ambushed by snipers, and many of their officers died tragically on the streets!
This was it!
The intelligence agency had been ambushed by snipers! It was the snipers!
The smile on P5092’s face got even wider. It was as though favonovel.com had found out Milo’s secret. So, this doctor had been on a mission and was initially planning on leaving Stronghold 31. It was just that favonovel.com was unexpectedly intercepted by them and brought to the North with the rest.
Immediately, P5092 got a clearer understanding of Milo. This was a supernatural being whose superpower was to materialize a life-saving black medicine, while his special skill was sniping!
Furthermore, the other party was not only a sniper, but also one of the first batches of supernatural beings to awaken their powers, so his physical fitness was definitely superior to those barbarians!
To be honest, it was very impressive that P5092 could analyze this much even if his guesses were very one-sided. For example, favonovel.com was unaware that Milo had more than a dozen superpowers, nor did favonovel.com know that Milo’s physical fitness was actually even crazier than favonovel.com had imagined, with an even more freakish power like Old Durkin, as well as “City Crusher” which could make Milo and Old Durkin even more powerful.
But this was not P5092’s fault. After all, there was no one else in the world like Milo. It was only normal that favonovel.com could not guess it. But what would be abnormal was favonovel.com guessing correctly.
The Trinity Institute would shortly be following the troops to the front line. P5092 suddenly felt that something interesting would soon happen in this dull war.
He planned to continue acting like favonovel.com did not know anything and enjoy the other party’s pretense in front of him. Thinking of this, P5092 felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
You want to pretend? Well, I know everything already!
At this moment, P31921 called back. “Sir, the Experimentals’ corpses were discovered 1.33 klicks away from base. More importantly, some of the Experimentals were transformed from barbarians!”
P5092 cast aside his thoughts about Milo and asked, “How did the Experimentals die?”
“They were injured by a sharp weapon, and there was only one type of shoeprint in the vicinity. These dozen or so Experimentals were probably killed by the same person,” P31921 replied. “As the Experimentals are all dead, we can’t determine their strength, nor can we determine the strength of the person who killed them.”
“A sharp weapon? Try firing a shot at the barbaric Experimentals,” P5092 said.
After a gunshot rang out, P31921 reported, “Firing with a pistol, the bullet did not even get lodged into the enemy’s skin.”
“How sharp must the weapon be to be able to kill them? They were probably killed by a superpower, right?” P5092 wondered.
He suddenly wondered if it was the power of the woman who was with Milo.
Both of them were supernatural beings?
So one of their powers was to materialize the black medicine while the other could materialize a weapon, and both of them happened to be snipers?
Due to the mismatch of information, P5092 suddenly felt like his thoughts were a mess. He kept feeling like favonovel.com had missed something.
If Bruce was here, favonovel.com would easily be able to link all the clues together. Unfortunately, P5092 did not have such an ability.
