Although the captain decided to do so, it was not possible for them to actually put explosives on all the structures on the entire second basement floor, unless they wanted to bury themselves in the ground, which was nearly thirty meters deep from the surface, and in the event of a collapse, even the heavily armored regional armorers would not be able to climb out of this depth.
So no matter how much dissatisfaction there is with the changing structure of this floor, GDI can only destroy the changed walls and blast the parts that are not load-bearing structures to pass. In this way, the interference is much smaller, but the speed of action is still greatly affected, and only half of the area is searched on the second underground floor for more than half an hour, and this is because most of the time there has been no fighting.
As long as there is a battle, the advancing team can only stop and engage the Thai crystal infected that appears out of nowhere. With their advanced weaponry, they are always able to repel or even destroy those who run out of their way, but they also have to pay the price of casualties from time to time - mainly mercenaries and Gordon battle robots, whose protection is far inferior to that of GDI soldiers, and naturally the losses are the greatest.
"The mercenaries have already lost more than half of them, so we can let them quit." Glancing at the report, Captain GDI said, "According to the instructions above, these mercenaries can't all die here - at least not by our hands - so since they've lost so many people, it's not impossible to let them go." Anyway, after losing so many good players, they can be regarded as a big loss of vitality, and they can't cause us any more trouble. ”
"It's just some mercenaries, do you need to pay so much attention?" One lieutenant said with some incomprehension, "Don't look at our previous identity as mercenaries, but we are different from them. ”
"Because we need to curb the number of mercenaries, but we can't kill them all with our own hands." The captain explained, "The countries are currently re-recruiting their troops, and those mercenaries with rich combat experience are also quite good soldiers, but not all mercenaries are willing to go back to the government army. There are not many people who stay and continue to be mercenaries, just like the one we met today. These mercenaries are only in it for money, they will not be loyal to anyone, as long as the price is high, the mercenaries who are still fighting for you today will be able to carry your head to your enemies tomorrow to ask for rewards. These mercenaries, who are still employed by Future Technology today, may be bought by the Holy Brotherhood tomorrow to fight for the Sijing people. Therefore, we need to reduce the number of these people, and we can only use these battles to reduce the number of mercenaries, and if we can let the heavy losses force them to return to the regular army or no longer participate in mercenary work, this is also a good thing. ”
"Then why didn't we take the opportunity to get rid of all those mercenaries this time?"
"Because we can't be too obvious, lest people find out that we're killing people with a knife. It would be a good thing if these survivors knew the horror of the Sijing and turned to fight against the Sijing, and of course if they succumbed to the violence brought by the Sijing and turned to the Sijing, then we could also propose to the United Nations a plan to intensify the fight against mercenaries. In short, this is how the generals planned, the least killed, the best was achieved. In response to his subordinates' questions, the captain continued, "We just need to carry out those orders. Besides, so far, we have managed to enter most of the area on the second basement level without a single casualty (referring to the clones themselves), and thanks to those mercenaries who are working hard, whether they are willing or not, we have always benefited, what can we do with them. ”
"I see, let those mercenaries go."
"But those combat robots, all of them have to be left, and we still need those things." The Captain reminded, "I just investigated, there are five floors of structure under this facility, and now it's only the second floor, and I don't want to break the record of no casualties in the next few days." ”
"Do we need to bring another batch of combat robots down to the top? The Gordon style has also lost a lot, and I'm afraid that if you can't use it for too long, it will all run out. It's like a maze of traps, and if you're not careful, you can lose money. ”
"I personally don't have any objections, it's just that the school officials above don't like to use automatic robots, and would rather use remote-controlled robots than build more automatic robots, so even if you apply to the above, you probably won't be able to apply for many automatic robots."
"One thing is a little bit, who told us that we were originally created to deal with intelligent automatic robots, and now if we want to use a large number of intelligent automatic robots, the generals may not be able to pass the hurdle in their hearts." The lieutenant shrugged his shoulders and turned to walk in the other direction, "It's a pity that these underground floors are too disturbing, and the remote-controlled robots can't be used for a long time, otherwise where would there be so much trouble." Sure enough, it was more convenient to fight on the ground, and as soon as our armored forces rushed, everything was solved. ”
Ignoring the lieutenant's muttering, the captain just stared at the various areas of the facility that were constantly lit up by his subordinates with fluorescent balls, as long as there was a light, it meant that the GDI troops had detected and controlled that area, and the map they had sketched was more complete.
As more reinforcements are sent from the ground, even if there are all kinds of traps everywhere in this research center, in the face of this GDI force that uses a lot of robots and never cares about losses, no amount of traps will be rootless water, and they will soon be drowned in an endless tide of robots - even if those robots are only remote-controlled.
After another half an hour, the ever-changing labyrinthine underground second floor was finally completely controlled by the GDI troops, and all the walls that could be turned were destroyed by the sappers, and they could no longer change to form a new maze at random. The organ beasts hiding in this layer, as well as various mechanisms and traps, have also been eliminated and dismantled one by one.
In fact, the reason why it took more than an hour for this layer to be completely controlled, and the reason why it took more than ten minutes to complete the two layers above was not because of those organ beasts that were so weak when they left the Taijing infection area, nor because of those traps that had appeared in an endless stream, and what really delayed time was those constantly changing walls.
In order not to indiscriminately bomb and damage important load-bearing walls, the GDI troops can only inspect all positions little by little, and only after they are indeed not important building structures will they be demolished and destroyed, which is naturally quite slowing down. Don't look at the advanced equipment of GDI, but if you want to search like this, the speed will naturally not be fast.
In any case, the second underground floor was finally successfully controlled by them, and the next step was to prepare for the search and investigation of the third underground floor.
It's just that before they officially started to act, as soon as they stopped the operation, the order to evacuate immediately reached the on-site commander. This made the captain, who had already completed the preparations and was about to start the operation, extremely puzzled, even if it was a clone who had engraved absolute obedience into his genes, in such a situation, there would still be doubts, especially those officers, who immediately raised their own questions.
Although the communication was not very smooth, the superiors quickly replied to the reason for the evacuation order - an unspecified source of information showed that this place on the surface of a pharmaceutical factory was indeed used to study the effects of Taijing and the environment, as well as with living things, those human infected bodies, and giant scorpions, were just the incidental results of research experiments, after all, those who studied these things themselves intended to create controllable biological weapons, but later they seemed to have died themselves, As a result, the infected people who had been kept in isolation rooms around the pharmaceutical factory escaped, and attacked all people or creatures who were not infected by Taijing, whether they were factory executives or ordinary workers.
Caught off guard, most of the humans in the factory either turned into zombie monsters like those infected with the human Taijing, or turned into a mass of organ beasts with the appearance of rotten flesh, or even became food for those Taijing infected people after completely crystallizing the Taijing - that's right, those Taijing infected, whether they were human infected, giant scorpions, or even organ beasts, all fed on the Taijing.
And the reason for the retreat of the troops is because although this factory is used to conduct experimental research on the environment and biological infection of Taijing, the raw materials for Taijing crystallization stored here are not too much-probably the Sijing people are very valuable to these things, and they only took out a small amount of the substance for human servants to study - even if a small number of fully crystallized organisms are added, the total number of Taijing here is only a minority, and the erosion ability of Taijing stored in the storage room is controlled to a minimum. So when the Polish government found out that something was wrong with the factory, those Thai crystal infections did not leave to spread the Thai crystal in the nearby villages and towns for the sake of the small number of Thai crystals in the factory.
It is also because there are not many Taijing here, once the infected people eat up, those infected people will die on their own sooner or later, although it is not clear this time period, but this does not mean that GDI does not have a quick solution to the problem.
The reason why the troops were withdrawn from those underground layers was just because Lin Hai came up with a faster way, that is, to directly drill holes in the ground of that research center in a vertical way, and make a series of large holes that could directly allow the troops to enter the fifth underground floor where the data switchboard was stored.
As long as it is calculated and controlled, a starship equipped with a pulsed laser cannon can accomplish this task, and they can even use some large excavation equipment and explosives to achieve this goal, without having to send troops to explore layer by layer and draw a structural roadmap.
"Our rapid reaction force is used to engage in large-scale battles with the Sijing people, not to dig things in the ground all day long, if you can solve the problem quickly, don't worry about the process, anyway, the place will be razed afterwards." These were the words that Lin Hai said when he came up with those solutions after knowing that the ground operation was progressing slowly. 8)
