Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 665: Delete Record

Alan glanced at Ned's office again. It was obviously much more spacious than the last time he saw him. That was because a lot of equipment had been emptied out. In the grand office of a base manager, there were only tables, chairs, tactical boards, and a few document cabinets left. They were extremely crude.

Ned smiled and said, "After the previous battle, a lot of equipment was damaged or needed to be repaired. I took out everything I didn't need and gave it to the other departments first. It seems a lot more spacious."

"I'm sorry, I didn't make it in time for that battle."

"It doesn't matter. Besides, didn't you have some personal grudges with Major General Catherine at that time?" Ned said, "Mr. Reiner thought you wouldn't be able to return and named you to challenge a major general. I was really scared. How could such a thing have happened in a small place like Cayrock? I'm not afraid that Mr. Allen would laugh at me for being timid. If anything happens to either Mr. Reiner or General Catherine, my days as head of the base will end."

Alan couldn't hide his surprise when he heard Reina's name pointing at Catherine. Fortunately, Ned was talking about other things, but he didn't notice anything strange about Alan. Alan gave a dry cough and interrupted Ned. He put his backpack on the table and patted it, "I killed some things on my way back. I don't think I can exchange them for military merits, but I would like to ask the Lieutenant Colonel to see if the Federation is willing to buy them."

"Let me see." Ned said straightforwardly that the hunting squad would occasionally encounter powerful beasts when they were on missions outside. After killing them, it was often necessary to recycle some valuable parts of these powerful beings, such as heart cores. These items could not be exchanged for military merits, but they could be sold to the Federation or privately to people in need for cash.

Almost every hunting squad had their own way of getting money. For example, recycling the Heart Cores was only one example, and there were even some teams that were eager for profit, such as the freelance hunters Allen had encountered before. Of course, if they dared to do such a thing, besides being strong, they had to do it cleanly. Otherwise, it would be a small matter if someone found out that his reputation had plummeted. He was afraid that the clan behind the bitter master would have a huge influence, and that would not be a consequence that a mere hunting group could bear.

That night, the freelance hunter found out that Alan was born in Beth Cod, and the reason why he wanted to make a move was because he was afraid that Beth Cod would take revenge on him. Unfortunately, they had picked the wrong opponent and were basically wiped out by Allen.

Alan opened his backpack and took out a crystal spike. Ned carefully fiddled with it and took out an instrument to test the Origin Energy content of the crystal spike. Finally, he said happily, "Mr. Allen, this is a good thing. How many do you have like this?"

"Not much." Alan smiled as he took out all the crystal spikes from his backpack and placed them neatly on the table. "There are only twenty of them."

"Twenty!" Ned's eyes widened.

Without giving him a chance to catch his breath, Alan took out the crystal python's heart core from his backpack. When the pale purple heart core was placed on the table, the entire office was covered in a blurry purple light. Ned's eyes almost popped out as he looked at the rugby-sized heart core that was wrapped in purple crystal threads. He was shocked and said, "Heavens, what did you suddenly kill? You actually have such a large heart core with such a high concentration of Origin Energy?"

"That thing doesn't seem to be recorded in the federal records." Alan roughly described the python's appearance.

Ned was dumbfounded when he heard this and said, "Sure enough, no matter how small the frost is, it's still a planet." Although we control part of the planet, we are not able to grasp all the information about life on the planet. Mr. Allen, this shipment of yours is of great value. Just like I said before, the Castellan Rock Base is too small. I still don't have the qualifications to accept such high-grade goods. I need to ask the Lin Yuan Stronghold for instructions. However, I can assure you that they will not reject these extremely high concentrations of crystal spikes and heart cores. "Even if the Federation doesn't need it, I still have a way to sell it for you. However, the price is not as high as the Federation has offered."

"Sure, then I'll leave them to you, Lieutenant Colonel Ned."

Ned licked his lips and said, "One thing I need to say first is that both the federal and other buyers have to deduct a fee. The fee is about 5% to 7% of the total price."

Allen nodded. "I'll give you ten percent, but you'll have to settle the bill in one go."

"No problem!" Ned said excitedly. Ned can get at least two percent commission, especially if he sells to other businessmen. He can even get one percent more. Now that Allen had generously opened it to ten percent, the difference would naturally be in the Lieutenant Colonel's pocket. Although he didn't know the exact value of this shipment, he could sell it for at least 20 million yuan.

In other words, Ned could get a commission of around a million dollars just by selling the goods for Alan. One had to know that a federal lieutenant colonel's annual salary was far from that much money. Alan knew this, of course. His generosity was just to pave the way for the next thing. Seeing Ned quickly put away the crystal spike and heart core, Alan took out his identity token and placed it on the table.

Ned immediately understood, "You want to exchange for merit points?"

Allen nodded and said, "I have a piece of information that I can provide to the Federation. I wonder what level of military service I can exchange for."

"What information? Tell me."

"Please remember this coordinate first." Alan reported the location of the Chaos Canyon and said, "This coordinate is near the Chaos Canyon. I accidentally discovered that the Catus were hiding in this canyon and seemed to be setting up something." Also, I found a strange mothership, which I'm sure does not belong to the Catus. So I suspect that another alien is involved in this war. As for the specific information, the lieutenant colonel could find it from the records of the token. However, before sending it to the headquarters of the General Staff, there are some records that I would like to ask the Lieutenant Colonel to delete. "

Ned was stunned and asked casually, "Delete the record? What's the reason?"

Alan looked around with a solemn expression. Ned immediately held a meeting and personally closed the automatic door of the office. He also pressed a set of passwords. Then he said, "Alright, now it's just you and me. All communication equipment has been cut off. I guarantee that no third person will hear this conversation."

"Then I'm relieved." Alan smiled bitterly. "It's not good, Lieutenant Colonel. You know why I found Chaos Canyon." Because I met a convoy that went to the Chaos Canyon to sell Shadow Star Diamonds and Valley Blue Steel to the Catus in exchange for Abyss Crystals. Yes, the people who traded with the Catus were humans, and they were federal soldiers. The leader of the convoy was a colonel named Bula, and the members of the convoy came from various legions. The situation is exceptionally complicated. "

He pointed at the token, "You can look at the records and see that what I said is true."

Ned was shocked. After digesting the news from Allen, he bitterly smiled and said, "I believe you, Mr. Allen. Indeed, there are some people who disregarded the bottom line and actually made deals with the chaotic races. Damn it, you're right. These records have to be deleted. Otherwise, we'll have to hand them over to the General Staff Headquarters. Once the news leaks out, we'll both lose our heads."

Of course Ned wasn't stupid. Alan had already revealed enough. To be able to transfer soldiers and colonels from various legions for their own use, that person's position in the Federation was not low. He couldn't afford to offend any of the names that Ned had come up with. Perhaps the other party would be afraid of Alan, who was born in Bethcote, but he wouldn't care about a little Lieutenant Colonel who didn't have much backside. Once he was exposed, Ned could only imagine what would happen to him.

"I know what to do. Don't worry, Mr. Allen. I will carefully sift through the records. I guarantee that the staff headquarters will see a record without any strange information."

'"Speaking of which, when Lieutenant Colonel deletes the record, please delete the part related to General Catherine as well. I don't think the general wants too many people to know about it, do you think?"

"Of course," Ned smiled bitterly.

"Then I won't disturb Lieutenant Colonel."

Leaner was leaning against the exterior wall as he walked out of the office. "You've disappeared long enough," he snorted when he saw Alan.

"I'm also quite helpless." Ellen spread out his hands and said, "It's been a long time since I've been here."

"It's good that you know. Now, I'll return those guys to you. I've already received an exploration mission and will set off in the afternoon." Reina straightened his body and prepared to leave.

"Wait, I heard you challenged Catherine by name?"

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't do it for you," Rainer said, glancing at him. "But as a member of Bethcodd, I have an obligation to preserve the honor of the family."

"Anyway, thank you for everything you've done. Also, I suggest you give up the exploration mission." Allen said in a low voice, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will launch a counterattack soon. It is not a local war, it is a general offensive!"

"General attack?" Reina looked at him seriously. "You really brought back some incredible news."

"Sort of, I guess. You probably want to spank the Catus more than a boring quest?"

"No, no, I want to smash the head of the Grai more than that. If it's the Dark Titan, then so be it." Rena waved his hand and left with excitement.

Outside the command building, the sun was shining brightly. Alan raised his head. Today, the clouds in the sky seemed to be a little less. He could vaguely see the fireballs hanging in the sky, as well as the outlines of the planets outside the sky. Alan searched for the shadow of the Garden of Eden, but was unable to find the central battlefield among the planets. There, the war between Adahua Planet and the Yordon Outsiders had already been raging, and the Union army had begun to enter the battlefield. It would be a dangerous land of peak flames, but just as Raynor yearned for a general attack that would soon arrive, Alan also longed to step onto the battlefield of peak flames.

Beneath his seemingly gentle exterior was a heart as hot as lava!
