Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

"Rometheus! What are you doing!"

Rometheus peeked out the door and saw Ella's eyes widen. She was still holding the phone, which was still connected. As the person on the other end of the line said something, Ella's sprinting speed broke through her limit once again.

Rometheus: Oh no! This is bad, something terrible is going to happen!

With her incredible speed, Ella covered the 200-meter distance in just over ten seconds and arrived in front of Rometheus.

You should know that Ella is usually extremely disciplined; sometimes even Rometheus feels that he is more like a young person in some ways.

But Ella just called me by my full name without the "Doctor" suffix, so I can forget about calling her "teacher" for now. I might be facing another storm soon.

Wait, why did I have to say "again"?

Zoya: Hmph, I am the storm!!!

Ella rushed to the computer desk, only to be knocked away by the skinny Rometheus, before looking at the chat history on the computer.

Rometheus stood obediently to the side, watching Ella as black gas gradually gathered around her body, and quietly took small steps, preparing to sneak away first.

"Romance! I need an explanation now. You'd better answer me right away, okay?"

Ella turned to look at Rometheus, who was standing still, and asked gently.

Rometheus: This is stressful, sis! Let your mentor catch his breath!

"That Ella, I actually just wanted to tease Demulan's new secretary, but..."

"So you've started asking these pointless questions?"

Ella interrupted Rometheus, who was still trying to save him, and walked towards Rometheus's location with an imposing aura, asking questions as she went.

Rometheus: [Zero] Where are you? Come save me! ???

"She said it herself. I... I was just a little curious."

"Oh? Is it really just a little bit of curiosity?"

Ella turned on the speakerphone and asked:

“Mary, is it really true what he said? You didn’t betray the ‘little secret’ I told you, did you?”

Rometheus stared at Ella's phone in surprise. He had considered many possibilities, even that it was Demulan standing up for her little secretary to question him, but he never expected it to be the person he had been teasing on the computer.

"What are you talking about, Ella? How could I possibly betray your information? I'm your dear junior sister, and besides, you're my role model. I've always kept those little secrets you told me a secret. It was your teacher who threatened me..."

"I...please don't hang up yet, she...she...she...she..."

Rometheus only just realized that the little secretary wasn't as stupid as he thought; it was just a bit unkind of her to take advantage of an old man like him.

"Teacher, is there anything else you'd like to say? Or... are you just curious about our relationship?"

Rometheus: At this moment, I am the cowardly lizard.

"Um, Ella, I have to take the Blue Eagle Squad on a mission tomorrow, so I'll head back to rest now. Oh, I'll leave these things to you."

After Rometheus finished speaking, he ran off in a flash, leaving only Ella in the office.

"No wonder Senior Sister Zoya said you were a piece of scum before..."

Ella remembered that before she came to Hafk, Zoya had told her that this Rometheus was a coward, that she hated him, and that he liked to come to her with questions all the time.

"But I... heh heh."

Chapter 116 Press Conference (1)

Time flew by and it was already the morning of the next day. At the space base, two tanks drove to the radar station before dawn. Now, together with the security forces that Demulan had arranged in the open, they had safely taken their positions and began patrolling the surrounding area.

Rometheus, after turning off the buzzing alarm clock and quickly washing up, also began preparing to board the Blue Eagle helicopter to the scene.

"Teacher, you haven't had breakfast yet!"

Ella, holding a plate of breakfast, looked at Rometheus, who was already getting ready to board the plane, and called out to him.

"Let me eat when I get back. Anyway, I'm just going through the motions. Do you really think anyone would be stupid enough to openly snatch Mandel bricks? If so, I can only say he's a complete idiot."

Rometheus shrugged, then boarded the Blue Eagle helicopter, sticking his head out as it took off.

"Ella, keep an eye on the Tower of Babel for me while I'm gone, okay? I've already transferred the highest authority over the entire Tower of Babel to you!"

After saying that, Rometheus pulled his head back and gave Ella a thumbs-up outside the window.

"I understand, teacher. Don't worry!"

Ella gave Rometheus a big smile, which surprised Rometheus, who was sitting on the plane. Oh ho, his ice-cold student can smile too, and it's quite pretty.

Rometheus waved, and the helicopter began to ascend, soon disappearing from Ella's sight.

. . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

At the space base, Demulan organized her equipment. She was alone at the sniper position this time, and she chose to trust her secretary regarding the heavy responsibility of managing the main force.

Of course, she wouldn't completely shirk her responsibilities. If things got out of control, she would immediately take over the management of the team and let her secretary see for herself why she was able to become the safety director of such an important place as the aerospace base.

"Mary, I'm entrusting you with the task of command and management later. Let me see your talent."

Demulan stroked Mary's long, smooth hair, then took a bottle of potent painkillers from his office cabinet and put it on his person.

Demulan woke up slowly in the middle of the night yesterday. After waking up, he still had a slight headache, but it was under control.

Although the side effects of forcibly maintaining Relink brain-computer interface were painful, Demulan still tried to endure it. However, today's matter was of great importance, and in order to prevent any accidents from happening, Demulan chose to keep a bottle of medicine on his person.

"Well then, I'll be going now. I'll connect to the main command channel later."

After Demulan finished speaking, he also picked up his M700 and set off with two autonomous combat vehicles.

. . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

"Damn it, hurry up! Get the hell out of here! Run! Stop dawdling around. If I see anyone else sluggish, I'll kick them, you hear me?"

Compared to Baksh and the space base, the soldiers under Reis's command look like a bunch of idiots. If Saeed were here and saw this scene, he probably wouldn't be able to help but laugh.

Said: Hehehe, look! How right I was to ask Xiao Hao to be my strategist. Look at the hordes of misfits this chimpanzee is managing without a strategist. Tsk tsk tsk, I feel ashamed just looking at them.

Reese: Damn it, we were evenly matched before. Don't laugh at me. If you were as good as me, would you have gone to that godforsaken, poor place called Zero Dam?

Said: Hehe, now the dam is the transportation hub of the entire Assara. Some guy who wants to be a local tyrant might not be as rich as my dam!

Reese: ___*( ￣皿￣)/#____ I've got it.

"Boss, your butt?"

At that moment, a guard ran over and asked quietly, but the answer came from Reis's size 48 sweaty feet.

"Go to hell! I'm Asara's strongest man. Is that little injury on my butt? Go get ready and don't get in my way."

The guard, who was kicked and wincing in pain, obediently uttered an "oh" and slunk away.

"Hey! Who planted the explosives a few days ago? Come here, I have something to ask you."

Realizing the key to this operation, Reis shouted into the chaotic crowd.

"Me! I'm in here."

At that moment, two Asara soldiers ran quickly to Reis.

"Are you sure you've planted all the explosives? If I press this button, it'll explode there?"

Reese pulled a button with a protective case from his pocket, tossed it twice in his hand, and asked the two people in front of him.

"Don't worry, boss. We've buried tanks wherever we can on both sides, and we've also buried two boxes of landmines. Even if they don't park the tanks in their original positions, we've buried them wherever they can fit around them. So don't worry."

One of Asara's soldiers patted his chest and confidently assured him.

"Hahahaha, good! If this operation is a complete success, I will reward you handsomely! Alright, you can all get out of here now, but of course, the prerequisite is that you have to survive this operation. The more people you kill, the more rewards I will give you, hahahaha!"

"Yes! I promise I won't let the boss down."

The two were very excited when they heard about the reward. Although Reis usually didn't treat them like human beings, he was very generous when it came to rewarding his subordinates, which is why so many people were willing to risk their lives for him.

Who would want to be a lowly soldier in this place for the rest of their life? You should know that becoming Reiss's personal guard means having countless riches and honors, money and women to squander as you please.

. . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

Finally, let's turn our attention to the GTI special operations unit.

By this time, everyone was basically ready. Uluru did a final check on his missile launcher, Terry and Deep Blue discussed how to make the final evacuation, while Red Wolf and Dragon sat obediently on the sofa waiting for the operation to begin.

Mai Xiaowen was fiddling with her signal decryptor. She was planning to work with Uluru to perfect her unmanned bomber drone after this operation, and the signal decryptor that had been with her for so long would also need an upgrade.

Zoya and Roy each had a backpack full of adrenaline and a backpack full of hormone injections. Judging by Roy's dosage, it could probably kill someone on the spot.

Luna leaned to one side with her eyes closed, contemplating to quickly regulate her physical state and keep her in peak condition for action.

"Is everyone ready? Let's go!"

After seeing that everyone was ready, Deep Blue immediately issued the order and began to take action!

Chapter 117 Press Conference (2)

The protagonist who has yet to appear is Zhang Hao.

He was already carrying his M700 and Said to his location, and Said was fully armed this time, even bringing his crossbow.

"Don't worry about this operation, Xiao Hao. You have your burning arrows, and I have my burning crossbow. When we go together, won't it be an area-of-effect explosion?"

Said said that with such firepower, even Reis would have to admit defeat.

"Hey Xiao Hao, if you still have a few arrows left after you finish your mission today, could you give me a few? When I go to fight Hamk, I'll just shoot a few arrows into his lair."

Zhang Hao said that since it was Uncle Said's request, he would naturally agree.

"No problem, just take this and burn him!"

"That bastard, I'll definitely send him to hell, for my father, for the village chief, and for all those who died at his hands..."

When Zhang Hao and Said took their positions, they discovered two tanks parked on a mountain next to theirs.

"Holy crap... such a big deal? Xiao Hao, you should tell them first."

Said stared blankly at the two tanks next to him. This firepower was no joke. If they went in to seize it and fired two shots directly inside, even a superman like Deep Blue would have a hard time.

"Hey Uncle Deep Blue, can you hear me?"

Zhang Hao also hurriedly turned on their public channel and called out.

"I heard you. What's wrong, Xiao Hao? Is something the matter?"

Zhang Hao's voice came through the GTI players' headsets, and everyone was curious about what new discovery he had made.

"On the hill next to the radar station, right next to mine, there are two Hafk Group tanks parked. They look like the latest developments."

Zhang Hao reported the situation here in a serious tone, while Said curiously leaned over and asked:

"Huh? Xiao Hao, how did you know this was the latest model? You're really something!"

Looking at Said, who was blinking rapidly, Zhang Hao said in a pretentious tone.

"Because they're cool! Don't you think these two tanks are cool? Tanks that are this cool must be new products."

"Oh, so that's how you tell the difference! As expected of Xiao Hao!"

Said looked like he had learned something. If Sophia were here, she would probably be speechless again because of this silly leader.

"Don't worry, Xiao Hao. Terry and I brought anti-tank missiles, which I can launch directly. I'll find an opportunity to blow up these two tanks."

Uluru's confident voice came through the headset. As the team's main firepower, as long as Dragon and Red Wolf could lead him in, he could provide maximum firepower. What new tanks? Let them talk to my anti-tank missiles!

You see, Deep Blue originally applied for ordinary anti-tank mines and AT-4 launchers, but last time, those two boxes of anti-tank mines were stolen by that bandit Reese. Uluru was furious and spent the whole afternoon arguing with Deep Blue, who then reported the matter to his superiors.

Because this operation was of great importance, the high-ranking official in charge of supplies sent over the newly developed anti-tank missile. He said that the missile's power was five times that of the AT-4, but it might not be stable enough at the moment and there was a possibility of it misfiring.

However, Uluru confidently stated that even if this doesn't work, he still has loitering munitions. Even if their power is not as great as the new anti-tank missile, firing a few more will have the same effect.

Seeing that everything was ready, Zhang Hao set up his sniper rifle and quietly observed the current situation at the radar station.

Seeing this, Said also took out a 4x scope from his pocket and mounted it on his PKM, jokingly saying that his PKM could also be used as a "sniper rifle".

While Zhang Hao was observing, all the various forces began to take action.
