Inside a long shuttle-shaped aircraft.
Sitting in the soft and comfortable seat, Li Ke sipped coffee while looking down at the joint cleanup of mutants by the four exploration drones deployed to the battlefield.
The gunshots didn't last long.
Just as he finished the cup of coffee, the last mutant who was still standing also fell on the steps in front of the ugly altar.
The next step is to clean the battlefield.
He placed the cup on the tray, and was automatically recycled by the assistant robot beside him. He gave a non-salary and unrestrained evaluation of the memo unfolded by the holographic.
Normal.
The soldiers in the alliance are a bit strange and have a much higher physical fitness than ordinary people, but after all, they are residents of the shelter, which is normal.Backward equipment, primitive people's fighting style... I really don't understand why the Beacon Team lost to this group of people. The quality of the talent in the Investigation Department has been getting worse every year.
As for the company...
Li Ke laughed, the sarcasm in his eyes became more obvious.
It's a waste to get to the hands of these guys... The presence of those bionic soldiers is actually not as good as a few old-time power armors, and they are getting back to life.
Needless to say, the Legion.
Those old equipment only rely on a little heritage to support the storefront.
Based on the performance of all parties, the college, which has made progress on the basis of the prosperity era, is naturally stronger.
Of course, it is undeniable that the league's performance did exceed his initial expectations... If a full-scale war really broke out, with their fighting will, maybe they could hold on for a few more months.
Li Ke reached out and clicked on the holographic screen with satisfaction. While turning off the memo, he recalled the previously released exploration drone.
At this time, a gentle electronic sound floated from behind his seat.
Sir, you have your phone number.
Telephone?here?
Yes, the Wandering Swamp launched the cruise communication station.
As soon as he heard the flight tour communication station, Li Ke's expression immediately became serious and sat upright from the chair.
Transfer to me.
OK
The communication signal was quickly transferred from the server of the scientific research ship to his personal terminal.
Li Ke reached out and clicked on the holographic window. The light blue light quickly drew a sloppy bust in front of him.
This is a great desert.
The signal condition is worse than Luoxia Province.
In this case, the only people who insist on using image communication seem to be the only old stubborn people in the Research Department who are ignorant of adaptability.
...I am Yang Kai from the Research Department, a B-level researcher. My identification band is included in the communication code. Please verify it yourself later.
As soon as the communication was connected, the other party did not greet him and directly reported to his home.
Li Ke cleared his throat and said.
Li Ke, Level B, is there anything wrong?
The holographic image flashed for a while.
The project for shelter No. 0 was transferred to me.
Hearing this sentence, Li Ke immediately jumped up like a squirrel with his tail stepped on.
Why?
There was still that calm tone across the communication channel.
This is the instructions of the doctor of the conclusion, and your Foreign Affairs Department will do your duties honestly.
When he heard that it was the order of Doctor Conclusion, Li Ke immediately muttered indignation like a deflated ball.
Conclusion Doctor...that adult really has time.
The other end of the communication channel did not comment on this sentence, but just gave a simple answer in a tone without ups and downs.
Thank you for your cooperation.
After saying that, the flickering shadow disappeared from directly above the holographic device...
……
The cleaning of the battlefield by the Enterprise and Alliance ground forces has ended, and the discovery in the Blackstone Mutant Tribe is surprising.
The words of the drone operator under Yun Song were really come true.
These gray-black-skinned mutants did dig deep holes, protect immature puppies with the help of the caves, and plant some edible fungi, and raise mutant worms that produce fat and protein.
The most surprising one is a fluorescent mushroom growing on radioactive waste. It seems to be able to accelerate the decay of iodine and chromoisotopes through special biochemical processes and convert part of the energy into light.
It is not currently possible to prove whether this species uses fusion or fission energy to provide the energy required for life activities.
But it is surprising just to accelerate the decay of radioactive substances.
Yunsong and Lao Bai reported their discoveries in the mutant tribe to their respective superiors respectively.
After communication between the company and the alliance's senior management, the two parties decided to share these interesting research materials.
The Iron Heart slowly crossed directly above the Blackstone Tribe and lowered the anchor chain in the open space about one kilometer away.
The pod was then lowered.
Five long-shaped engineering vehicles drove to the open space one after another and lined up into three rows. The wheels were folded up and the chassis was put down to complete the deployment.
Nearly a hundred aircrews wearing miner exoskeletons traveled back and forth between the material pile and the base of the camp, sending the metal scraps that players removed from the mutant tribe into the feed port of the construction vehicle, and soon processed them into boards for building the camp.
These standardized boards with aluminum and ferroalloys as the main materials are about one inch thick. The material is loose and porous, the texture is light, but the strength is not low. The barracks walls can be used as thermal insulation, or they can be framed into squares to fill sand and soil to build shooting bunkers and base exterior walls.
As the battle ended, players also joined the camp construction.
In less than three hours, a camp covering an area of 20 acres and nearly two football fields took shape.
The pod was lowered again.
The logistics officer of the Iron Heart walked forward quickly, stood in front of Chu Guang, and stood attentively with a red face and saluted.
Report!Dear manager, as you told us, we have completed the construction of the camp exterior wall. Next is the construction of the barracks, which is expected to be completed within 24 hours!
It was a good job, Chu Guang nodded in praise, and looked at the young man and continued, "Go and do your work, don't care about me."
yes!The logistics officer put his right fist on his chest, and then walked towards the construction site with great strides.
Watching the young man leave, Wu Changnian glanced at the lively construction site around him and said with a smile.
How about it?Ideal City's technology is okay, right?
Chu Guang said sincerely.
It's pretty good, it's a little expensive, it would be great if I could get a discount.
Wu Changnian coughed dryly.
This... you have to talk to the representative of the Blade Group. The board of directors cannot interfere with the operation of the production department, and I cannot make decisions about order issues.
Although he was regretful, Chu Guang nodded.
understand.
This modular infrastructure system, called Camp Workshop, consists of five powerful engineering vehicles. It is similar to the modular production workshops on the Trail Blazer. They are all production tools designed for the special environment on the wasteland.
It is like a black box in another sense, which can ingest metal waste without any restraint, digest the part that can be digested, and DIY it into the shape that users need.
In conjunction with the cruise capability of the Iron Heart, Chu Guang can theoretically shoot the action base anywhere he can fly.
It was precisely because he was attracted by this that he decisively introduced this system from the Blade Group.
Although such a system is expensive, up to 16 million Cr, Chu Guang still reluctantly bought his hands and placed an order.
As a modular production tool, its function is obviously not just to produce the plates needed for camping.
These five engineering vehicles can also process the input materials into basic weapons including rifles and protective gear such as bulletproof armor based on the input drawings.
Although the production efficiency is not high, the energy, materials consumed and the implicit loss cost are not small, it is still very useful as a set of camping equipment.
Previously, the Heart of Steel solved the supply problems encountered during the expedition by raising slaves and carrying a large number of processing tools and machine tools.
Five engineering vehicles can easily replace a production team with more than 500 people, saving a lot of valuable space for the airship.
Unfortunately, there is only one aerospace mothership in the alliance.
Otherwise, Chu Guang really planned to purchase more sets from Ideal City.
It happened that at this time, the Willant people who came down from the Decider also walked towards this side.
Chu Guang suddenly noticed the look of McClass looking at the construction cars.
Including the captain named Adria standing next to him, both of them had envy without exception.
The Legion has good industrial capabilities and is also quite capable of manufacturing heavy equipment, but the manufacturing of precision equipment is very difficult.
Even if there is such a thing, it is impossible to be matched on the airship.
Have you found the entrance to shelter No. 0?Adria smiled and said, walking to the representatives of the alliance and the enterprise.
Wu Changnian said concisely.
We have to find the crew of the Trail Blazers first, only they know the entrance to the shelter. If you are anxious, you can go back first.
Of course, Adria couldn't leave, and continued to ask with a smile.
Didn’t you run back to an employee?He doesn't know the entrance to shelter No. 0?
It's a pity that you guessed it right, he was driven away by a group of shameless robbers before finding the entrance to the shelter.
Hearing Wu Changnian's bad tone, Adria was unmoved, and there was no expression on McClan's face.
The order was given by Griffin.
He was also very annoyed that the guy pushed himself away.
If he hadn't gone to chase the employees of that company, he wouldn't have fallen into the hands of a group of wasteland tourists, let alone throw away his airship.
I'm sorry about the Pioneer Blazers. It was Griffin's good decision. We will strictly restrict our own people and no more similar things happen. Speaking of this, Adria was hypocritical about it. By the way, I almost forgot to ask, has the Pioneer Blazers been found?Are the crew members above okay?
Wu Changnian stared at him and said.
Our people have already found them according to the coordinates you provide, and they are better still alive.
Adria shrugged.
I sincerely hope they are safe.
The Trail Blazers were previously controlled by the Legion.
But the crew, including Lu Yang, were not captured by the Legion, but moved outside before the Legion controlled the Trail Blazers.
Except for Luo Hua who was sent to the league for help, the rest of the employees hid under Lu Yang's leadership and were not found by the Willant people.
As the war approached, Griffin had no time wasted in the desert, so the task of searching for those people was subcontracted to the Blackstone Tribe.
According to the description of the mutant captives, those big noses of humans offered employees of a company to exchange for the price of ten human women.
But at present, the mutants obviously did not find the missing corporate employees, otherwise they would have taken them to the Willant people to receive rewards.
Regarding the question about the Trail Blazers, the Legion all counted on Griffin.
As for McClass, he didn't know much. During the period when he was captured, he had already explained what he could.
The Legion did not care about the life or death of the crew on the Trail Blazers. They were only interested in the refuge No. 0 discovered by the Trail Blazers.
The same goes for the college.
Without taking Captain Adria's hypocritical politeness seriously, Wu Changnian turned around and walked to the company's headquarters.
McClane stared at Chu Guang fiercely, but he just looked hard, said nothing, and walked away with Adria.
At this time, a long shuttle-shaped aircraft converged the arc light jet from the bottom and slowly landed in the center of the camp.
Its name is Comet 300. It is a scientific research ship produced by the college based on the drawings left over from the prosperity era. Because it is built on an ecological circulation device and an anti-gravity device, in theory, this thing can not only drive to any corner of the planet, but also fly to outer space.
However, the environment in outer space is much worse than on the ground. Unless there are special tasks that need to be executed, they will generally not be opened there.
When he happened to come back from cleaning the battlefield, Lao Bai glanced at the scientific research ship with a very science fiction style and suddenly found that it was a little different from the one that landed in Falcon City before.
At this moment, a man and a woman walked out of the open hatch.
Lao Bai was surprised to find that he actually knew one of them.
The man obviously noticed him, and took the initiative to walk towards him.
Meeting again.
Walking to Lao Bai, Zheng Hao looked at the power armor on his body, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face, Dragoon?
Very sensible.
Zheng Hao curled his lips.
I have seen a lot of wreckage of this thing, and the nuclear bomb crater next to the Great Rift Valley is everywhere.
real?I have to go and see another day, Lao Bai smiled faintly and continued, "Where are you?"Why are you here?
Thank you for your blessing. With that sample, my team and I transferred from the Investigation Department to the Research Department, and now we are working for Professor Yang Kai, a B-level researcher.He is currently in charge of the investigation of Shelter 0...he is in that research vessel.
When he said this, Zheng Hao's expression was a little complicated.
The beacon team suffered heavy losses in that battle, and many of his brothers died.
Moreover, because it was an unrecognized battle, his families of his dead brothers did not even get the full amount of the pension. He took out part of G points and bought some living supplies to their families to send them.
After understanding the expression on his face, Lao Bai said nothing, but just skipped the unpleasant part of the topic.
That refuge...will you go then?Or is that B-level researcher?
To Lao Bai's surprise, the man in front of him shook his head.
None of them.
As he said that, Zheng Hao looked at the girl next to him with a restrained expression and long black hair.
Let me introduce Jiang Xuezhou, a D-level researcher... I used to be my small team member, but now I am at the same level as me.Yang Kai was her mentor, and thanks to her relationship, we were able to successfully take the sample at that time.
Jiang Xuezhou stared at Lao Bai vigilantly and nodded restrainedly.
Hello.
She had seen this man in the drone camera, and many of them died at the hands of him and his team members... including her friend Chen Yutong.
Although she knew in her heart that both sides were just fighting for their respective positions, there was no simple right or wrong among them, she still couldn't believe the person in front of her.
Zheng Hao looked at Lao Bai.
You should be the one sent by the alliance. If you go down, you can take care of her.
Lao Bai made a helpless expression.
Although I really want to help you, I am not as good as me in this operation.
Not you?Zheng Hao looked at him in surprise.
Before he got off the research ship, he heard that the alliance would send a powerful awakened person to follow them into the shelter.
He guessed at that time that the person might be the old white he had met.
However, Lao Bai actually told him that it was not him.
Are there any stronger awakeners in the league?
Well, it's another person... Looking at Zheng Hao with a surprised look, Lao Bai smiled and said, but don't worry, I will say something to my good brother.
No need, Jiang Xuezhou interrupted him and looked at him alertly and said, "I will take good care of myself, so... I won't bother you."
As she said that, she nodded politely and turned around and left here.
Looking at the colleague's back as he left, Zheng Hao looked a little embarrassed and coughed lightly.
Sorry, that day... she lost a team member who had a good relationship with her.
Lao Bai shrugged.
It's okay, I can understand, but don't expect me to apologize to you. We have done the greatest restraint and you will fire first.
Zheng Hao nodded silently.
I know...I didn't say it was your fault, but I...ah.
Halfway through his words, he suddenly didn't know how to continue. After thinking about the words for a long time, he finally turned into a sigh.
This damn confidentiality system...
He could only keep some words in his heart.
Understanding his difficulties, Lao Bai said nothing, but patted him on the shoulder with encouragement, and then turned around and walked away.
……
It happened that Lao Bai was not the only one who met an acquaintance.
And the brothers of the Storm Corps.
Looking at the warrior sneaking over, I pointed at this guy's nose the darkest and screamed excitedly.
Damn it!pangolin?!
The scream scared the warrior, looked around and reflexively, and suddenly came to my senses and I shouted the most Mandarin, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.
MMPD, can you stop calling me this vest outside!Staring at the guy who almost broke his mission, the warrior cursed.
My darkest expression on my face was indifferent, and said with a hippie smile.
Don't worry, brother won't sell you... By the way, why did you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, sneak up?
The warrior sighed.
Alas, this is a long story, and I was sent here in a daze.
Commander Quanshui looked at him with a strange look on his face, vaguely guessing something, but he was still not sure, so he asked tentatively.
The two representatives sent by the Legion to investigate the 0th refuge...will you be there?
The warrior smiled shyly.
You guessed it.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
I'm the darkest: Damn!
Catching ghosts on the grave: 6666!
Kakarot couldn't help but say: Mom... I have nothing to say to you when it comes to your position.
Originally, there were two representatives from the enterprise, the army, and the alliance, and one from the academy. Who would have thought that the army would pick this guy in, and the representatives from the alliance directly became three.
The warfielder chuckled embarrassedly.
Life is full of surprises, and I didn’t expect that those big noses would send me here... By the way, did you bring the archived thing?Save it for me quickly, I'm afraid I'll be killed in a while.
The spring commander coughed.
There is one on the airship.
The warrior was stunned.
Damn it!Have to go on the airship?
Quanshui glanced at this guy strangely.
Otherwise?It’s so troublesome to put down the dormant cabin every time you go to a place... And I suggest you should come in the second half of the night, and the location in the first half of the night is probably not easy to grab.
The archive is not saved by lying in and typing in a card. It takes several hours to read the pass.
Generally, people will save the files in batches. If the person in front has saved it, the person behind wants to save it, so they drag the previous person out of the training cabin.
So if you choose to go offline at a public save point, sometimes you will find yourself lying on the floor when you wake up.
I said with a smile on my darkest hippie.
Or do you sneak out at night?Brothers, please help you.
Looking at the unreliable guy, the warrior hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
OK!
……
Later.
The warrior carefully went to the toilet and locked the door. After he got rid of his shell, he took out the WC from the window, left the base where the alliance had arranged for the legion representatives in the camp, and secretly went to the alliance's airship.
I was waiting there to catch a ghost on the grave early, so I put a sack on him and carried it on the pod, and unconsciously got him onto the airship.
Although the warrior felt that the sack was completely redundant, he was really not easy to resist because he had something to ask for, so he let my darkest grandson do whatever he wanted.
The hibernation compartment needs to lie in it for several hours.
Fortunately, he usually squats for one or two hours, and no one will doubt it if he squats for one or two hours.
At the same time, the captain's office of the Iron Heart.
Chu Guang, who had returned to the airship, was staring at the rag strips spread out on the desk, and his brows unconsciously frowned.
The symbol of the torch church?
Standing opposite the desk, Lao Bai nodded seriously.
I found this sign in that mutant priest…and there were similar signs on that altar.
Rearing back on the chair, Chu Guang closed his eyes and thought for a while.
The Death Coast is located in the south of Jinchuan Province, and is at least five or six thousand kilometers away from here... It is too far away no matter how you say it.
If you go along a straight line, you may also pass through these natural dangers of the Zhubar Mountains. It is hard to imagine that the Torch Church can reach here.
Lao Bai suddenly felt a sudden movement in his heart and said.
Is there a possibility... it is not that the mutants are believers of the Torch Church, but that they are all believers of a larger organization, including the mutants and the Torch Church.
Chu Guang commented concisely.
This sounds even more outrageous.
Lao Bai said with a wry smile.
Too……
If this organization was so large that it could affect the mutants in the southern coast of the Central continent and the Great Desert in the Central Desert at the same time, it would be impossible for them to hear the rumor at all.
Looking at the symbols on the rag, Chu Guang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He prefers another possibility...
That is, these mutants and the believers of the Torch Church are isolated from each other, and are affected by a particular existence at the same time.
It can be a huge organization as Lao Bai said, or it can be a technological creation with magical power.
Or, it may be just an abstract concept.
However, no matter what that is, the kind of thing that possesses the power of deceiving people is full of dangers.
Thinking of the past of Sanctuary No. 117 and the rumors about Wang Yi, who proclaimed himself, Chu Guang closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.
The last time he felt so uneasy in his heart, he learned that the Willant people deployed a nuclear bomb in Luoxia Province.
The source of this symbol...it must be investigated in depth.
Lao Bai said in agreement.
I think so too... I suggest keeping an outpost in the Great Desert. Even if you put aside these noteworthy clues, there are many things worth recycling here.
Chu Guang nodded, and gently stroked his index finger in the air, expanding the hologram.
Not only the Great Desert, but the investigation in the south will also be launched at the same time... After this incident is over, I will give you a task.
Hearing the trigger of the hidden task, Lao Bai was delighted and said immediately.
Please give me instructions!
Chu Guang continued.
There is a coordinate to the south where there is the nuclear fuel we need, and I need you to take a few people there to recycle it.
Some refuge residents are clearing the land there, and you can ask for their help.
Lao Bai clasped his fists with his hands and said with a bright look.
yes!
……
The night is dark.
On the ruins not far from the camp, a huge land fortress broke down in a leak-top factory building covering an area of thousands of acres.
Its steel shell can be seen inwardly sagging and twisting, the tracks under the chassis are broken inch by inch, and the structures such as the robotic arms and production workshops have been damaged. The situation can be described as miserable.
Judging from the collapse of the wall next to it and the bullet holes on the wall, it should have broken through the wall of the factory and rushed in, and then a fierce exchange of fire broke out with the pursuers here.
Several beams of light shone on the dissatisfied wreckage, and the bionic soldiers who walked up to them carefully inspected the damage and gaps on the hiking fortress.
Standing not far away and watching, Su Ming couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Damn... these big noses!
It was obviously the Willant who persecuted it as such a ghost.
Thinking of the Willant officers who were unrelated to their affairs, he wanted to go back to the camp to pull the big noses up and punch them one by one.
Gu Wei, who was standing aside, said with emotion.
Remember when it first set out from Ideal City?
Another commando sighed.
...I can't recognize it at all.
I hope the people inside are fine.
Yun Song glanced at the Geiger counter and found that the amount of radiation dust here exceeded the standard, so he waved his hand to signal everyone to turn off the helmet and turn on the internal circulation system.
The Trail Blazers store a lot of nuclear fuel, as well as tactical nuclear warheads taken out of Ideal City. Looking at the nearby bomb crater, it should have been made by the crew.
After checking the condition of the Trail Blazers, a bionic soldier walked back to Yun Song.
Before the bionic man could speak, Yun Song asked immediately.
Are there any living people inside?
Although this possibility is very small, he still asked this question.
However, to his surprise, the bionic man nodded.
There are signs of life activity in the escape pod, but it is very weak... It is estimated that there are only one or two people.
Yun Song was immediately ecstatic when he heard this, as if he had lifted a heavy burden of thousands of pounds.
quick!Get him out quickly!
Sitting in the soft and comfortable seat, Li Ke sipped coffee while looking down at the joint cleanup of mutants by the four exploration drones deployed to the battlefield.
The gunshots didn't last long.
Just as he finished the cup of coffee, the last mutant who was still standing also fell on the steps in front of the ugly altar.
The next step is to clean the battlefield.
He placed the cup on the tray, and was automatically recycled by the assistant robot beside him. He gave a non-salary and unrestrained evaluation of the memo unfolded by the holographic.

The pod was then lowered.
Five long-shaped engineering vehicles drove to the open space one after another and lined up into three rows. The wheels were folded up and the chassis was put down to complete the deployment.
Nearly a hundred aircrews wearing miner exoskeletons traveled back and forth between the material pile and the base of the camp, sending the metal scraps that players removed from the mutant tribe into the feed port of the construction vehicle, and soon processed them into boards for building the camp.
These standardized boards with aluminum and ferroalloys as the main materials are about one inch thick. The material is loose and porous, the texture is light, but the strength is not low. The barracks walls can be used as thermal insulation, or they can be framed into squares to fill sand and soil to build shooting bunkers and base exterior walls.
As the battle ended, players also joined the camp construction.
In less than three hours, a camp covering an area of 20 acres and nearly two football fields took shape.
The pod was lowered again.
The logistics officer of the Iron Heart walked forward quickly, stood in front of Chu Guang, and stood attentively with a red face and saluted.

Didn’t you run back to an employee?He doesn't know the entrance to shelter No. 0?
It's a pity that you guessed it right, he was driven away by a group of shameless robbers before finding the entrance to the shelter.
Hearing Wu Changnian's bad tone, Adria was unmoved, and there was no expression on McClan's face.
The order was given by Griffin.
He was also very annoyed that the guy pushed himself away.
If he hadn't gone to chase the employees of that company, he wouldn't have fallen into the hands of a group of wasteland tourists, let alone throw away his airship.
I'm sorry about the Pioneer Blazers. It was Griffin's good decision. We will strictly restrict our own people and no more similar things happen. Speaking of this, Adria was hypocritical about it. By the way, I almost forgot to ask, has the Pioneer Blazers been found?Are the crew members above okay?
Wu Changnian stared at him and said.
Our people have already found them according to the coordinates you provide, and they are better still alive.
Adria shrugged.
I sincerely hope they are safe.
The Trail Blazers were previously controlled by the Legion.
But the crew, including Lu Yang, were not captured by the Legion, but moved outside before the Legion controlled the Trail Blazers.
Except for Luo Hua who was sent to the league for help, the rest of the employees hid under Lu Yang's leadership and were not found by the Willant people.
As the war approached, Griffin had no time wasted in the desert, so the task of searching for those people was subcontracted to the Blackstone Tribe.
According to the description of the mutant captives, those big noses of humans offered employees of a company to exchange for the price of ten human women.
But at present, the mutants obviously did not find the missing corporate employees, otherwise they would have taken them to the Willant people to receive rewards.
Regarding the question about the Trail Blazers, the Legion all counted on Griffin.
As for McClass, he didn't know much. During the period when he was captured, he had already explained what he could.
The Legion did not care about the life or death of the crew on the Trail Blazers. They were only interested in the refuge No. 0 discovered by the Trail Blazers.
The same goes for the college.
Without taking Captain Adria's hypocritical politeness seriously, Wu Changnian turned around and walked to the company's headquarters.
McClane stared at Chu Guang fiercely, but he just looked hard, said nothing, and walked away with Adria.
At this time, a long shuttle-shaped aircraft converged the arc light jet from the bottom and slowly landed in the center of the camp.
Its name is Comet 300. It is a scientific research ship produced by the college based on the drawings left over from the prosperity era. Because it is built on an ecological circulation device and an anti-gravity device, in theory, this thing can not only drive to any corner of the planet, but also fly to outer space.
However, the environment in outer space is much worse than on the ground. Unless there are special tasks that need to be executed, they will generally not be opened there.
When he happened to come back from cleaning the battlefield, Lao Bai glanced at the scientific research ship with a very science fiction style and suddenly found that it was a little different from the one that landed in Falcon City before.
At this moment, a man and a woman walked out of the open hatch.
Lao Bai was surprised to find that he actually knew one of them.
The man obviously noticed him, and took the initiative to walk towards him.
Meeting again.
Walking to Lao Bai, Zheng Hao looked at the power armor on his body, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face, Dragoon?
Very sensible.
Zheng Hao curled his lips.
I have seen a lot of wreckage of this thing, and the nuclear bomb crater next to the Great Rift Valley is everywhere.
real?I have to go and see another day, Lao Bai smiled faintly and continued, "Where are you?"Why are you here?
Thank you for your blessing. With that sample, my team and I transferred from the Investigation Department to the Research Department, and now we are working for Professor Yang Kai, a B-level researcher.He is currently in charge of the investigation of Shelter 0...he is in that research vessel.
When he said this, Zheng Hao's expression was a little complicated.
The beacon team suffered heavy losses in that battle, and many of his brothers died.
Moreover, because it was an unrecognized battle, his families of his dead brothers did not even get the full amount of the pension. He took out part of G points and bought some living supplies to their families to send them.
After understanding the expression on his face, Lao Bai said nothing, but just skipped the unpleasant part of the topic.
That refuge...will you go then?Or is that B-level researcher?
To Lao Bai's surprise, the man in front of him shook his head.
None of them.
As he said that, Zheng Hao looked at the girl next to him with a restrained expression and long black hair.
Let me introduce Jiang Xuezhou, a D-level researcher... I used to be my small team member, but now I am at the same level as me.Yang Kai was her mentor, and thanks to her relationship, we were able to successfully take the sample at that time.
Jiang Xuezhou stared at Lao Bai vigilantly and nodded restrainedly.
Hello.
She had seen this man in the drone camera, and many of them died at the hands of him and his team members... including her friend Chen Yutong.
Although she knew in her heart that both sides were just fighting for their respective positions, there was no simple right or wrong among them, she still couldn't believe the person in front of her.
Zheng Hao looked at Lao Bai.
You should be the one sent by the alliance. If you go down, you can take care of her.
Lao Bai made a helpless expression.
Although I really want to help you, I am not as good as me in this operation.
Not you?Zheng Hao looked at him in surprise.
Before he got off the research ship, he heard that the alliance would send a powerful awakened person to follow them into the shelter.
He guessed at that time that the person might be the old white he had met.
However, Lao Bai actually told him that it was not him.
Are there any stronger awakeners in the league?
Well, it's another person... Looking at Zheng Hao with a surprised look, Lao Bai smiled and said, but don't worry, I will say something to my good brother.
No need, Jiang Xuezhou interrupted him and looked at him alertly and said, "I will take good care of myself, so... I won't bother you."
As she said that, she nodded politely and turned around and left here.
Looking at the colleague's back as he left, Zheng Hao looked a little embarrassed and coughed lightly.
Sorry, that day... she lost a team member who had a good relationship with her.
Lao Bai shrugged.
It's okay, I can understand, but don't expect me to apologize to you. We have done the greatest restraint and you will fire first.
Zheng Hao nodded silently.
I know...I didn't say it was your fault, but I...ah.
Halfway through his words, he suddenly didn't know how to continue. After thinking about the words for a long time, he finally turned into a sigh.
This damn confidentiality system...
He could only keep some words in his heart.
Understanding his difficulties, Lao Bai said nothing, but patted him on the shoulder with encouragement, and then turned around and walked away.
……
It happened that Lao Bai was not the only one who met an acquaintance.
And the brothers of the Storm Corps.
Looking at the warrior sneaking over, I pointed at this guy's nose the darkest and screamed excitedly.
Damn it!pangolin?!
The scream scared the warrior, looked around and reflexively, and suddenly came to my senses and I shouted the most Mandarin, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.
MMPD, can you stop calling me this vest outside!Staring at the guy who almost broke his mission, the warrior cursed.
My darkest expression on my face was indifferent, and said with a hippie smile.
Don't worry, brother won't sell you... By the way, why did you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, sneak up?
The warrior sighed.
Alas, this is a long story, and I was sent here in a daze.
Commander Quanshui looked at him with a strange look on his face, vaguely guessing something, but he was still not sure, so he asked tentatively.
The two representatives sent by the Legion to investigate the 0th refuge...will you be there?
The warrior smiled shyly.
You guessed it.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
I'm the darkest: Damn!
Catching ghosts on the grave: 6666!
Kakarot couldn't help but say: Mom... I have nothing to say to you when it comes to your position.
Originally, there were two representatives from the enterprise, the army, and the alliance, and one from the academy. Who would have thought that the army would pick this guy in, and the representatives from the alliance directly became three.
The warfielder chuckled embarrassedly.
Life is full of surprises, and I didn’t expect that those big noses would send me here... By the way, did you bring the archived thing?Save it for me quickly, I'm afraid I'll be killed in a while.
The spring commander coughed.
There is one on the airship.
The warrior was stunned.
Damn it!Have to go on the airship?
Quanshui glanced at this guy strangely.
Otherwise?It’s so troublesome to put down the dormant cabin every time you go to a place... And I suggest you should come in the second half of the night, and the location in the first half of the night is probably not easy to grab.
The archive is not saved by lying in and typing in a card. It takes several hours to read the pass.
Generally, people will save the files in batches. If the person in front has saved it, the person behind wants to save it, so they drag the previous person out of the training cabin.
So if you choose to go offline at a public save point, sometimes you will find yourself lying on the floor when you wake up.
I said with a smile on my darkest hippie.
Or do you sneak out at night?Brothers, please help you.
Looking at the unreliable guy, the warrior hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
OK!
……
Later.
The warrior carefully went to the toilet and locked the door. After he got rid of his shell, he took out the WC from the window, left the base where the alliance had arranged for the legion representatives in the camp, and secretly went to the alliance's airship.
I was waiting there to catch a ghost on the grave early, so I put a sack on him and carried it on the pod, and unconsciously got him onto the airship.
Although the warrior felt that the sack was completely redundant, he was really not easy to resist because he had something to ask for, so he let my darkest grandson do whatever he wanted.
The hibernation compartment needs to lie in it for several hours.
Fortunately, he usually squats for one or two hours, and no one will doubt it if he squats for one or two hours.
At the same time, the captain's office of the Iron Heart.
Chu Guang, who had returned to the airship, was staring at the rag strips spread out on the desk, and his brows unconsciously frowned.
The symbol of the torch church?
Standing opposite the desk, Lao Bai nodded seriously.
I found this sign in that mutant priest…and there were similar signs on that altar.
Rearing back on the chair, Chu Guang closed his eyes and thought for a while.
The Death Coast is located in the south of Jinchuan Province, and is at least five or six thousand kilometers away from here... It is too far away no matter how you say it.
If you go along a straight line, you may also pass through these natural dangers of the Zhubar Mountains. It is hard to imagine that the Torch Church can reach here.
Lao Bai suddenly felt a sudden movement in his heart and said.
Is there a possibility... it is not that the mutants are believers of the Torch Church, but that they are all believers of a larger organization, including the mutants and the Torch Church.
Chu Guang commented concisely.
This sounds even more outrageous.
Lao Bai said with a wry smile.
Too……
If this organization was so large that it could affect the mutants in the southern coast of the Central continent and the Great Desert in the Central Desert at the same time, it would be impossible for them to hear the rumor at all.
Looking at the symbols on the rag, Chu Guang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He prefers another possibility...
That is, these mutants and the believers of the Torch Church are isolated from each other, and are affected by a particular existence at the same time.
It can be a huge organization as Lao Bai said, or it can be a technological creation with magical power.
Or, it may be just an abstract concept.
However, no matter what that is, the kind of thing that possesses the power of deceiving people is full of dangers.
Thinking of the past of Sanctuary No. 117 and the rumors about Wang Yi, who proclaimed himself, Chu Guang closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.
The last time he felt so uneasy in his heart, he learned that the Willant people deployed a nuclear bomb in Luoxia Province.
The source of this symbol...it must be investigated in depth.
Lao Bai said in agreement.
I think so too... I suggest keeping an outpost in the Great Desert. Even if you put aside these noteworthy clues, there are many things worth recycling here.
Chu Guang nodded, and gently stroked his index finger in the air, expanding the hologram.
Not only the Great Desert, but the investigation in the south will also be launched at the same time... After this incident is over, I will give you a task.
Hearing the trigger of the hidden task, Lao Bai was delighted and said immediately.
Please give me instructions!
Chu Guang continued.
There is a coordinate to the south where there is the nuclear fuel we need, and I need you to take a few people there to recycle it.
Some refuge residents are clearing the land there, and you can ask for their help.
Lao Bai clasped his fists with his hands and said with a bright look.
yes!
……
The night is dark.
On the ruins not far from the camp, a huge land fortress broke down in a leak-top factory building covering an area of thousands of acres.
Its steel shell can be seen inwardly sagging and twisting, the tracks under the chassis are broken inch by inch, and the structures such as the robotic arms and production workshops have been damaged. The situation can be described as miserable.
Judging from the collapse of the wall next to it and the bullet holes on the wall, it should have broken through the wall of the factory and rushed in, and then a fierce exchange of fire broke out with the pursuers here.
Several beams of light shone on the dissatisfied wreckage, and the bionic soldiers who walked up to them carefully inspected the damage and gaps on the hiking fortress.
Standing not far away and watching, Su Ming couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Damn... these big noses!
It was obviously the Willant who persecuted it as such a ghost.
Thinking of the Willant officers who were unrelated to their affairs, he wanted to go back to the camp to pull the big noses up and punch them one by one.
Gu Wei, who was standing aside, said with emotion.
Remember when it first set out from Ideal City?
Another commando sighed.
...I can't recognize it at all.
I hope the people inside are fine.
Yun Song glanced at the Geiger counter and found that the amount of radiation dust here exceeded the standard, so he waved his hand to signal everyone to turn off the helmet and turn on the internal circulation system.
The Trail Blazers store a lot of nuclear fuel, as well as tactical nuclear warheads taken out of Ideal City. Looking at the nearby bomb crater, it should have been made by the crew.
After checking the condition of the Trail Blazers, a bionic soldier walked back to Yun Song.
Before the bionic man could speak, Yun Song asked immediately.
Are there any living people inside?
Although this possibility is very small, he still asked this question.
However, to his surprise, the bionic man nodded.
There are signs of life activity in the escape pod, but it is very weak... It is estimated that there are only one or two people.
Yun Song was immediately ecstatic when he heard this, as if he had lifted a heavy burden of thousands of pounds.
quick!Get him out quickly!
