The Death List Novel - Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Revival
“I heard that you might get the Knights’ Iron Cross when you return to Berlin this time! Only less than 200 people in the entire empire have this privilege! Of course, I’m not questioning you. Your accomplishments are worthy of this honor.”

The red skeleton could not conceal its envy, but his tone was sincere and did not contain much jealousy. During this raid, Kieran first gave the most important advice, allowing the Gnyssenau to bombard Casablanca. Although the bombardment plan had brought near-annihilation to Casablanca, it had also won the Gentlemen’s Alliance a line of warplanes in the Alliance’s defensive iron curtain.

The Gentlemen’s Alliance was not aware of this, although the main reason why the raid was successful was because of Lily and Little Lotus’ intelligence. Scolzny only looked at the final result, and this result was that Qin Lun and Grant had found the research materials of Project Super Warrior, and Joey had killed the only superhuman Catherine of the other party.

“I owe my achievements to all the gentlemen. I’m just lucky!” Joey stared at the red skull with Gerthardt’s pale gray pupils and raised his chin like all the proud German soldiers.

“Luck only belongs to those who are prepared!” The Red Skull lowered its head and sighed. Looking at the Second Grade Iron Cross medal on its chest, its expression was a little depressed.

“You are not a super pilot or a sniper, nor are you the commander of an army unit. To be able to obtain the Second Grade Iron Cross Medal, your honor is not inferior to mine!” A trace of cunning flashed through Joey’s eyes as he suddenly comforted the silver-masked man with righteous words.

“Thank you!” The Red Skull looked at Joey gratefully.

Although Joey didn’t praise the Red Skull sincerely, his words weren’t wrong to some extent. The Iron Cross of the Third German Empire was the first rare military medal of honor during World War II.

Ordinary Iron Crosses were divided into five grades. The lowest was the Fifth Grade Iron Cross Medal. Currently, there were more than 5 million Iron Crosses distributed. There were also hundreds of thousands of Fourth Grade Iron Crosses. These two low-grade iron crosses were more like small pins in terms of structure, and they didn’t even have a decorated belt.

Starting with the Third Grade Iron Cross, which was equipped with a decorative belt, it was truly a kind of medal. However, the difficulty of obtaining a Tier 3 or above Iron Cross Medal had also increased dramatically. Less than a hundred thousand German soldiers have won the Third Grade Iron Cross since the war began.

The Third Grade Iron Cross was also the highest level of medal of honor that German soldiers could obtain. This was not because the High Grade Iron Cross did not give out medals to soldiers, but because they would not be able to survive until that time. Apart from super pilots and snipers, they were basically army officers who commanded companies and above, captains of warships and submarines, and so on.

The survival rate of these people was much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, so that they could live to receive the glory of the Iron Cross. According to Baron Stark, the commander of the Hydra Force, before the Red Skull became a superpower, he was only a special sergeant. The fact that he was able to obtain the Second Grade Iron Cross showed his courageous and fearless tenacity.

“Why does Baron Stark call you Red Skull? Your real name …” Joey looked at the Red Skull’s silver mask with some confusion.

“After I became a superpower, I decided to give up my original surname for the empire.” The red skeleton was silent for a while before slowly removing the silver mask on its face. “As for why it is called the red skeleton, you can see it at a glance!”

Joey looked at the red skeleton with the silver mask off. His pupils dilated and his eyes lit up.

“This is really … beautiful!” Unknowingly, the [Decomposer] actually spoke Chinese. Only when the corner of his eyes noticed that he had raised his arm at some unknown time did the murderer feel horrified and realized that he had lost his composure.

Cough cough, I’m sorry, I lost my composure, your face is really special … Joey retracted his hand awkwardly and rubbed it embarrassedly.

The red skeleton man was just like his name. Not only did he not have any hair on his head, even the typical high nose of a Westerner had disappeared, leaving behind only two small holes. His skinny face was like the skin of a blood-red lizard. It was terrifying to look at. His entire head was like a skull covered in blood.

“Since becoming Captain of the United States, Steve Rogers has fought with the Hydra Army many times in special operations. To tell you the truth, we often have to rely on the bravery of our soldiers to hold off Captain America. The Hydra Army has been longing for the Allied Super Soldier Plan ever since.”

The red skeleton blinked its translucent blood-red eyelids. In its dried-up eyes, the huge white ball like a ping-pong ball appeared exceptionally terrifying. “After many efforts, we have achieved a small amount of results, and my current appearance is the masterpiece of this incomplete result!”

The red skeleton pointed at its own blood-colored skull. “Dozens of elites from the hydra army participated in the experiment, and I was the only one who survived. I gained the strength of Captain America, but lost the face of a human.”

“Unfortunately, if those elites of the empire could wait until now, I believe they wouldn’t have to pay such a huge price!” Joey pretended to sigh and shook his head. The corner of his eyes looked at the red skull’s blood-colored head, and a trace of undetectable greed flashed through his pupils.

“I can’t wait. The United States had just joined the war. Whether it was local special operations or political propaganda, the empire needed someone to stand up to the new weapons of the Allies.

At that time, the superhumans on both sides didn’t join the war. On the battlefield of a group of ordinary people, an American captain suddenly appeared. That shocking captain was almost the same as the British tank that appeared in the First World War! “The red skeleton put on its silver mask again and said with a bitter smile.

Joey looked at the red skeleton who had stood up and left, licking its lips. An inexplicable light flashed in its eyes. This was a soldier who frantically pursued honor. To a certain extent, he was no different from a few murderers.

No wonder he was envious of his First Grade Iron Cross Medal. It wasn’t because the Red Skull felt that the Second Grade Iron Cross didn’t contain any honor. Rather, he believed that the Iron Cross, which he had obtained by sacrificing his superpower experiment, was not as pure gold and silver as the Iron Cross he had obtained on the battlefield.

Joey almost revealed his true colors just now. Fortunately, he reacted in time. If he caressed the blood-colored skull like a pervert, it would probably make everyone in the room sick and pee.

The Red Skull, with its back to Joey, had a trace of doubt in its eyes. His senses were very sharp. Although Joey had concealed it just now, he could tell that something was wrong with Gerhardt.

It was just that Gerhardt’s anomaly was not like the others, shocked by his ugly and terrifying face. Instead, it was more like he was delighted to see him, filled with … admiration for himself. The Red Skull shivered in his heart. He knew that his thoughts were a little disgusting, but this was indeed his perception just now.

Thinking of this, the brave German soldier did something he regretted for a long time. The Red Skull turned around and asked Gerhardt, Joey, like a ghost, “Second Lieutenant, you seem to admire my appearance!”

Just as he finished asking, the room suddenly quieted down. Although the other members of the Gentlemen’s Alliance did not look back, from the pricked-up ears of these people, almost everyone’s attention was focused on this side.

Sensing the curious gazes in the surroundings, the red skeleton immediately regretted it and hurriedly said, “Please forget what I said just now. This is too rude!”

‘”It’s nothing. It’s just that you remind me of my first time on the battlefield. When the bullet lifted off the enemy’s skull, the red and white blood flower I saw through the sniper scope was as stunning as your face!” Joey pulled the corner of his mouth strangely, revealing an ugly smile.

Amazing … The blood-colored face behind the silver mask twitched slightly. Compared to the super sniper in front of him, the heroic Red Skull suddenly felt that he should be considered a normal person. If he had to become Gerthardt in order to obtain the highest honor on the battlefield, then the First Grade Iron Cross didn’t seem to be that attractive anymore.

If the room was filled with gossip and ambiguity just now, then Joey only used one sentence and it was completely successful. Even Scolzny raised his eyebrows and looked at Joey with a brand new gaze.

Grant lowered his head and cursed to himself. Although Joey had cleverly redeemed the situation just now, he was not sure when the time bomb would explode if it continued like this.

For the first time, the clown regretted agreeing to Lily’s suggestion and forming an interim team with them. In fact, when the starry sky was shattered, although Qin Lun had Lin Feng and the others sell temporary guild spots to the other prisoners, there weren’t many suitable candidates.

Qin Lun originally wanted them to randomly find an ordinary prisoner instead of a murderer to join the temporary guild, so that he could control and command the temporary guild.

Lin Feng and Xiaolian naturally didn’t dare to ask the death row prisoners to sell the spots. The entire operation was being carried out by Lily. Lily thought that joining any other prisoner wouldn’t improve the entire team much. Moreover, there was only one leader of the murderers in the team, so it wasn’t good news for the others.

Lily wasn’t as confident in Qin Lun as Lin Feng and Xiaolian were. She was worried that the Decomposer would use them as bait and abandon them at the critical moment. Therefore, since Xiaolian and Lin Feng had proposed to bring Qin Lun in, she had to find another murderer to restrain Qin Lun.

The first person Lily went to was her disciple, Hansen. Unfortunately, Hansen did not hesitate to reject her proposal.

Although it wasn’t a bad thing to know about the guild mission and the role of the apostle guild in advance, Hansen was reluctant to deal with Qin Lun. The last time they were at the scavenger camp, Qin Lun caught him with his head tilted. Violent people like disciples, who were stronger than brains, instinctively resisted companions who were too clever and unruly.

In the end, Lily found only one clown, Grant, willing to join their temporary team. Of course, this was under the premise that she had secretly promised not to let the clown pay for the spots in the guild.

The brief exchange between the Red Skull and Joey loosened the atmosphere in the room. After the medical officer treated everyone’s wounds, Skorzny finally got up from his chair.

“German gentlemen, are you ready? Let’s fight to the end!”
