"Ah this."

The captain of the guard, Nat, who was standing at the door, was frightened.

In order to win the other party's trust, he did not tell him the plan just now. The naive Nat thought that there was really a task for Bernie.

Before he could react, a fight broke out between the manager of Tianyuan Sanctuary and the guards of the academy?

Of course, it seems a bit inappropriate to say fighting.

"Wait, let's just kill him like this?"

Catalina's face was full of astonishment, she always felt that the lines she had just been brewing in her mind were wasted.

The manager of the Western Suburbs Alliance Tianyuan Shelter seems to be more decisive than imagined.

Poor Captain Bernie had already fallen asleep before he finished his greeting.

"Otherwise, I don't want to cause any big trouble with him here."

Sumo shrugged, dragged Bernie to the corner of the room and began to search him.

Two large-caliber pistols that looked quite intimidating, but when the main parts were knocked, they didn't sound like metal.

Apparently, the Grand Canyon Research Base also discovered metal aging and promptly adjusted the weapons and equipment of the guards.

In addition, there is a foldable short-range laser rifle.

It has passed the system appraisal and is very powerful. It attacks silently and can cause damage equivalent to that of a 762-caliber rifle within 500 meters.

It's a pity that these guys might be quite useful against unarmed humans who have just traveled to the wasteland.

But now if the opponent only has these weapons, their combat effectiveness will be really weak.

After confirming that all weapons and communication tools had been removed, Sumo raised his hand and patted the opponent's face hard.

However, I don't know if it was because I used too much force just now, but the other person is still "drowsy".

"Can you get some water? He seems to be sleeping too deeply."

Somo raised his head, showed a kind smile, and looked at Nat who was standing at the door.

The latter trembled all over, nodded quickly and left.

After about a few minutes, a bucket of cold water from the cellar hit Bernie's face.

hiss.

"It's so cold."

The poor captain of the guard was already fifty years old, and his body and bones were not as strong as those of a young man.

After waking up in an instant, he couldn't help but shiver from the coldness, and his nose was filled with bubbles.

However, what frightened him even more was the cold object on his forehead.

"What are you going to do!"

Turning around to see a young man holding a pistol against his head, Bernie forced himself to calm down.

"I'm from the academy, if you dare."

"No, no, Captain Bernie, the academy will not be responsible for the safety of soldiers, not to mention you are just a soldier who has retired a long time ago."

Interrupting the other party's words, Souma bared his white teeth and said, "Researcher Catalina, am I right?"

"Of course, if the college is even responsible for this, wouldn't it become a charity welfare organization?"

"What's more, even when the college's guards arrived, it was Captain Bernie who tried to rob the private property of a formal researcher of the college first. Who would protect a robber?"

Catalina was chatting on the screen, with a natural look down on her face.

Confusing right and wrong is one of the required courses to survive in the academy.

Every professor is a student with perfect scores in this required course.

Although she is not a professor, she has been in the academy for decades, so naturally she is no longer familiar with this familiar routine.

"you"

Bernie's eyes widened with anger, determined to kill the fish and break the net.

However, the weapons that had been removed from his body and the pistol placed on his forehead forced him to calm down.

Too careless.

This time, I was dazzled by the reward promised by the other party.

"If you are willing to let me go now, I can take people out of here immediately and pretend that nothing happened."

Sumo rolled his eyes at him.

"I'm a little more polite to you. Do you think you are qualified to make conditions with me?"

"The accounts between us haven't been settled yet."

Bernie's expression couldn't help but suffocate.

"What's the meaning?"

"You captured my people and attacked my convoy. What do you mean?"

"What?"

Bernie could not understand the meaning of this sentence at first, but after a few seconds, his face suddenly became paler and he said:

"Did the convoy we attacked yesterday belong to you? Are you from the Foundation?"

"Heh, you seem to have a lot of questions."

Somo retracted his right hand, skillfully turned the gun and put the pistol on his waist, and then patted his shoulder lightly.

"To be honest, I really wanted to kill you just now, but you understand that there is still a little bit of value in you to survive."

"Captain Bernie, you are a smart man, you should know what I mean, right?"

Bernie swallowed and involuntarily wanted to retreat.

But just as he moved his body, the big hands on his shoulders tightened like pliers.

"Ah, be gentle!"

The huge force, which was almost as strong as those of those fugitives, made Bernie's chaotic mind instantly clear up.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Very good, it seems that your Excellency is really a person who is very aware of current affairs. After he finished speaking, he saw the strange twinkle in the eyes of Catalina and Nat, and Sumo suddenly felt that his speech seemed a bit villainous.

He coughed lightly and quickly corrected:

"There is no conflict of interest between us. Even if you arrest my people, considering that you are working for Professor Ernest, I will not make things difficult for you. But for safety reasons, you need to stay here for a short time.

I can't go back until I resolve this dispute with the professor."

"Now, I don't want to have to hunt down your men after I kill you, do you understand?"

"Let them come in obediently, and just like you, stay here for a while, and then you can go back."

Sumo was not that stupid to kill the retired guard soldiers of the academy in front of the academy's researchers.

Even if the two parties have already reached a cooperation, in order not to leave any clues, these words will not leave any loopholes.

Bernie opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask something more.

But when I thought of Sumo's previous warning, the words that just came to me got stuck in my throat and I coughed, and my expression looked a little dull.

Seems like there is no choice?

Some were wondering how he had fallen to this point so quickly, and Bernie was extremely upset.

It's just that this trace of annoyance is not worth mentioning in the face of survival.

"Well, I hope you can keep your promise."

"I need that to contact them. Well, I'll try to spread them out."

Pointing to the communicator in the corner, and finding that Sumo had no objection, Bernie stood up silently and picked it up.

Zila.

The noise from the link channel keeps ringing.

"Hey, Captain, how's it going inside?"

After a flurry, a clear voice of inquiry sounded from the communicator.

"This is the manor of Researcher Catalina. Bring Tim in. There is a big job waiting for us here. It's not convenient to talk about it on the channel."

"Is it a commission? Great!"

The person on the other end didn't even ask, so he hung up the call happily.

Turning his head to look at Somo, who showed a satisfied expression, Bernie's face became increasingly bitter.

"I still have a group of people staying in the city. It's probably a lot of money to let them come over."
