Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Why didn’t anyone beat him?

The next morning, the sun was about to rise, and the sky was just getting light.

In the outer city of Fuxing City, many soldiers had been on duty all night.

At the front, the two major officers in charge of setting up the checkpoints were one of them.

One of them said, “Last night, Randolph didn’t come back. I don’t know if he died or was detained by the governor.”

The other asked, “Did the general get angry?”

“No.” The first major answered, “The general was quite happy to see that the governor’s troops really stopped outside.”

“Very happy? Randolph is his nephew.”

The first person just shrugged, indicating that this was the case.

“How cold-blooded, poor Randolph.”

While chatting, suddenly one of them stretched out his hand and pointed to the dim morning fog outside: “What is that?”

The other person looked over along his finger.

It was not yet completely daylight, the light was insufficient, and there was still morning fog this morning, so visibility was not very good. But he could still see, vaguely, a few giant-like figures, slowly approaching.

The two looked at each other, one retreated and blew a whistle to alert the soldiers stationed in Luka, while the other raised his gun and asked in the thick fog: “Who is it?”

However, there was no response in the fog. The figure walking in the thick fog said nothing. Only when it got a little closer, heavy footsteps were heard.

The footsteps came a little abruptly. There was no sound before, as if there were ghosts; now that they saw it, the footsteps were so obvious and heavy, as if a war drum was beating in their hearts.

He had realized who was coming, but he didn’t know what to do.

Open fire? Dare not!

First of all, he didn’t dare to take the responsibility of firing the first shot;

secondly, and more importantly, he was standing in front of Luka blocking the way and there was no cover. If he dared to fire the first shot, he would die in the next second.

But no matter?

While he was struggling, he found that the soldiers stationed behind him were all prepared after being reminded by the fellow officer he had just talked to. There were dozens of guns pointed at this place, which made him feel relieved.

He looked forward again and asked again.

“Who is it? Please answer!”

This time, there was still no response.

However, as the footsteps approached, he could already vaguely see the people coming.

The fiery red power armor and the iconic huge body undoubtedly represented their identities. Although he had never seen the man they were surrounding, he should be the governor.

As they got closer and closer, the officers who were blocking them became more and more nervous, and their hands were sweating on their weapons.

He couldn’t help but issue a third warning.

“Please stop, you are not allowed to pass!”

There was still no response, as if the approaching people were not living people, but a group of ghosts.

After the third warning was issued, the people coming were already very close.

He couldn’t help but turn his head and look at his companions, as if he wanted to know from his companions what to do next. As a result, he found that his companions were also looking at him, revealing the same question in their eyes.

According to the rules of the wasteland, if you encounter such a situation, you must shoot a burst

of bullets without saying anything. If the person is dead, there will be no threat. But here, let alone political rules, will it be useful for the soldiers to shoot at these steel bodies with their rifles?

What to do?

No one knows what to do.

Under hesitation, entanglement, helplessness, and huge pressure and tension, the soldiers and officers who set up the checkpoints just let the Space Marines and Battle Sisters escort the Governor to them.

It’s time to make the final decision.

The officer who can make the decision still doesn’t dare to order the shooting. But he can’t just let people go.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and bravely blocked the people who were advancing step by step. He stretched out his palm to the leading Space Marine, made a gesture of refusal, and said at the same time:

“Stop moving forward! Forbidden ahead…”

There was a muffled sound of “dong”.

His head was deflated.

The red-armored warrior walking in the front had no intention of stopping at all. Facing the obstruction, he just stretched out his hand, as if to ward off a fly, and slapped the officer’s face with the back of his hand.

The action was too fast, and the officer had no time to react, let alone dodge. His head was like being hit by a sledgehammer and deflated.

The splattered blood stained the bright red armor, which was not noticeable at all.

His body fell crookedly to the side, and his legs and feet were still twitching. The head, which had already been deformed, continued to bleed, and soon formed a large pool.

No one cared, no one paid attention.

The angel of death who took action did not even change his pace. And the people who followed did not even look to the side. Even the battle sisters of the Holy Lily did not react to this.

The leading officer died, but the soldiers still did not dare to shoot, even when the Space Marine kicked Luca over.

No one dared to stand in front of them.

They just let the governor’s team pass.

And the road behind, Gu Hang and his group also walked smoothly.

Although someone died at the first roadblock, there was not much noise. There were no gunshots or artillery fire. Many soldiers behind them had no idea what was happening. Some of them were still asleep.

In this situation, Gu Hang and his group of 19 people walked in the street leading from the outer city to the inner city gate.

The environment of the outer city was not good. There was no planning for random construction. The intervals between many alleys were very narrow, which was a typical high-density slum. However, the avenues extending from the gates leading to the inner city were still spacious.

The heavy feeling of the power leg armor deliberately stepped on when it landed could float far away. Many soldiers on duty and awakened saw them.

The majestic and mighty space warriors and the heroic battle sisters were dazzling, and they also highlighted the dignity of the governor under their protection.

Could these little soldiers deal with such a person?

No one dared to think.

But at the same time, they felt much more relieved.

Before, General Mondok was determined not to allow the Governor to enter the city, and even showed an attitude of strong resistance. Now, thank God, General Mondok changed his mind.

——Most of the soldiers in the rear didn’t know what happened in Luca. Seeing the Governor and his entourage walking on the road, they thought it was normal and that the general allowed them to pass.

Otherwise, why didn’t anyone beat them?
