The base is not far from the desert, so there is still very little vegetation here, making it a relatively easy place to guard.

The aircraft got closer and closer to their destination, and they could almost see the abandoned factory, which was where they were this time.

Mina stayed on the aircraft to answer, and the two mechs came with them, just in case. Asher strengthens his protection system after being attacked twice in quick succession by unexplained brain-controlled intruders.

While this doesn't solve the problem, it's a huge concession from the top, who admit that the security system is not secure.

Without Mei Na, who likes to chat, Chen Yan was also silent all the way, feeling a little embarrassed that the silence in the cabin was a little embarrassing.

The two strange special forces were also in the cabin, and Chen Yan was bored and looked at them secretly.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, one of the burly-looking special forces looked at her, smiled kindly, and showed a mouthful of white teeth, "My name is Quinn", and he pointed to the smaller-looking special forces next to him, "His name is Kylo".

The special agent named Kylo gave her a big smile and whistled softly.

Unexpectedly, these two special forces would take the initiative to greet him, Chen Yan put away his previous doubts, nodded and said, "Nice to meet you, my name is ......"

"Chen Yan", Kylo winked at her and said mysteriously, "We all know that you are the boss's new favorite." ”

Chen Yan almost choked on his own saliva, quickly waved his hand, and desperately explained: "No, no, who did you listen to? I'm just a requisitioned technical soldier ......"

Kylo stole a glance at their head, who was sitting straight next to him. Colonel Lance was closing his eyes, perhaps thinking about something else, but did not say anything about the conversation.

So he became more and more fearless, ignoring Chen Yan's embarrassment, strolling on the ground and waving his hand, and continued: "No need to explain. The boss has never taken such care of the technical soldiers, and even the rest of our special mission forces like to walk around when they see the leader. ”

He raised his chin slightly, and his eyes flashed with gossip: "You are definitely the first!"

Chen Yan didn't quite understand what this "care" meant, because she really didn't feel any special preferential treatment when she asked herself. The fog in the palm of the mecha's hand that day made her shoulders still bruise.

Quinn stabbed Kylo with a worried look on his face, and said honestly, "Don't say that, the boss is very good to us." ”

When he just spoke, Chen Yan secretly gave the big man a good praise, but after hearing it, he changed his taste - the focus of attention was completely wrong.

But Adolf, who had not spoken just now, was not confused enough to agree, "That is, the leader is the best." ”

She would have covered her face.

Kylo pursed his lips, finally stopping the conversation. Chen Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this curiosity is really regardless of gender, age, and race.

Originally, I thought that the group of special mission forces, dressed in black and black pants all day long, only cared about food and combat except for training. Now it seems that their Academy of Sciences has a deep misunderstanding of others - at least this gossip ability is not lost to the weak technical soldiers of the Academy of Sciences!

They soon arrived at the abandoned experimental factory. Since the behemoths within a safe distance of the center of the area had been taken away by Lieutenant Donner, they were able to set foot on the land safely.

Mina and Quinn stay on the flyer, just in case. Colonel Reims entered the factory with the rest of the men.

Chen Yan tried to minimize his sense of existence, and silently recited in his heart: I can't see me, I can't see me......

I only heard that guy Kylo ask lively: "Boss, is Warrant Officer Chen Yan going down with us?"

Chen Yan immediately stood up and reported loudly: "I hope to stay in ......"

"Together". The two words floated slowly, and though they were as light as a feather, they managed to silence her loud voice. Colonel Lance seemed to be so calm at all times, but Chen Yan just didn't dare to say half a "no".

So she had no choice but to scrub her head and pick up her backpack and jump off the aircraft. It was very unfortunate that he landed on a small stone and stumbled for a moment.

Kylo was closest, and reached out nimbly to help her. Chen Yan rolled his eyes silently, and for the first time he planned not to say thanks. If it weren't for this guy, she wouldn't have come down at all, and she broke her foot again.

The place where the aircraft landed was near the entrance of the factory, a short distance. The special forces used to run to carry out their tasks, and Chen Yan had no choice but to follow behind out of breath.

At a distance of just a few hundred meters, when everyone entered the factory, only the sound of Chen Yan gasping for breath was heard in the silent space.

Colonel Lance glanced at her and said nothing. But under the power of that glance, Chen Yan immediately forced himself to reduce the frequency of his breathing, turned into deep breathing, and lowered his voice.

It was as if the voice had disturbed Colonel Reims' thoughts.

Kylo covered his mouth and snickered, laughing at her sad physical strength. Adolf didn't care if it was quiet or noisy, and said loudly, "Rookie, are you alright?"

It seems that of all the people, only Adolf is normal. The talents of the Academy of Sciences don't need physical training, they use their brains, as long as the brains are easy to use!

She panted and waved her hand, "I...... It's okay, go ahead. ”

Colonel Lance had already walked into the factory, and his steady footsteps echoed in the empty building.

The factory was abandoned at the time of the Behemoth's arrival on Earth, and most of the equipment inside was still in its original state. There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, and it was one step at a time.

Due to the instability of proton reactors, they are kept in special devices, which must be turned on in order to obtain energy.

Normally a special device might be an electronic cabinet with condensate and stabilizers, but this one is really strange - it's a safe, an old safe firmly attached to the wall.

Kylo, who was carrying the device on his back, circled around the safe a few times, but couldn't find where to start. He grabbed his hair and said to himself, "Strange, where is the switch?"

The equipment he was carrying was used to open electronic devices, but the safe was completely mechanical, so it wasn't surprising that he couldn't find an entry.

Adolf was equally confused, and hesitated and said, "This...... Seems to be an ancient locking device, manual. ”

This safe Chen Yan knows. But she wondered if Colonel Lance understood this too, and peeked over.

It just so happened that the other party was also looking at her. When his eyes met, Chen Yan quickly lowered his head, and heard two words: "Open".

Chen Yan: ...... If I knew it, I wouldn't have watched it.

“…… Yes". I don't know why Colonel Lance was so sure she could open the safe, so she had to bite the bullet.

This is an old style safe. In a trance, she seemed to be back in her father's office, when she was as tall as a safe, and she was always tinkering with it......

Blinked, pulling his thoughts back. This is an abandoned factory many, many years from that office, and everything is different except for this old-fashioned safe.

"What's this, rookie, can you open it?" asked Adolf.

"Safe, very old-fashioned. She looked closely at the front of the safe, "This is the code dial, and you need to match the code to open it."

However, it seems that the people here are in a hurry, and they should not leave password information. Chen Yan asked them to look around, and sure enough, there was no record.

The safe is used to store important items, but after some people set the password, they will habitually write down the password and put it in a hidden place in case they forget it.

Bad luck for them, the code for this safe was apparently not hidden in a corner by its owner.

Just then, Colonel Reims' communicator rang. He looked at the information on it and said in a deep voice, "There are third-level giant beasts appearing at a safe distance, we need to leave as soon as possible." ”

Everyone's expressions were stunned.

"Adolf, you and Mina enter the mech, ready to go. Kylo, you go and take the place of Mina, and take control of the aircraft with Quinn, and stand by. ”

Adolf and Kylo left immediately. Colonel Lance walked over to Chen Yan, "Can you open it?"

The conversation she had just had made her realize how time was running out right now. In this case, Colonel Lance put the mecha on standby and the aircraft was prepared, it should all be because of her.

Chen Yan inexplicably had an impulsive idea in this tension: Why can't I try it? This time the mission is to get the proton reactor, and now, they are only one safe away from the target.

She nodded, "I'll give it a try." Colonel Reims. How long do we have left?"

He glanced down at the communicator and replied, "Ten minutes." ”

"Ten minutes is enough, if you can open it. Colonel, I need absolute silence. ”

Colonel Lance nodded, standing a few meters behind Chen Yan, motionless. The factory was so quiet that for a while she could only hear the sound of her own breathing, and Chen Yan wondered if the special forces had practiced Qigong.

Chen Yan half-squatted in front of the safe and gently put his ear on it. Gently pull the handle of the cabinet door with your left hand and turn it in the direction of the door, and turn the code knob clockwise with your right hand while listening carefully.

She turned her breath to the lightest and slowly turned the knob until she was about to turn around when she heard a slight "click". He exhaled softly.

Her body remained motionless, looking like a sculpture, with only her right wrist turning, turning the knob counterclockwise. Almost as soon as I twisted it, I heard the sound of a jam, and if you didn't listen carefully, you would miss it.

Finally, the clockwise twist and soon the cabinet door opened.

Only then did Chen Yan realize that he was in a cold sweat. In just a few minutes, my whole body was already a little stiff.

When Colonel Lance saw the door open, he flashed like a phantom and came to the safe. He couldn't afford to waste a second.

Chen Yan wanted to get up quickly, and squatting next to the cabinet door was not only an eyesore but also an obstacle...... But because of the stiffness of the body, he pulled the hind legs of the movement.

You won't be kicked away, will you...... She shivered as she struggled to get up.
