Volume 4: The Seed of Holiness (20)
On the silver-white tablecloth, there is an occasional corner of a crystal clear iceberg. Above that, the sky covered with white clouds revealed a trace of azure cracks, corresponding to the sea covered in ice fields, and from a distance, only white and white were connected between the sea and the sky.
A flock of penguins formed a large circle, curiously watching the metal bumps of various equipment fiddling with various devices in the center of the field, and their small heads swayed from side to side with the swing of the mecha's arms.
"It's a paradise here"
In the King Kong mecha, Liu Yuxin couldn't help but sigh.
The Antarctic land is not polluted for unknown reasons, and the entire ecosystem remains in the state it was in before the fall star. This place, forgotten by mankind for more than 100 years, is still so peaceful to this day.
"Maybe we shouldn't bother them"
Shen Hongxia controlled the mecha to pull out the leyline detector that had entered the ice
"Let's go, there's nothing particularly interesting here, let's move on to the next location."
Others will also start recycling the equipment into base vehicles.
"This is the Eagle Team in charge of the D3 area, just now we found that the leyline map shows that there is a fault here, please come closer to me!"
A clear voice came from everyone's communication terminals, and then bursts of cheers erupted from the terminals
Chang Haotian, who was driving the base car, stretched half of his body out of the cab and waved to them desperately, signaling everyone to quickly pack up their things and get into the car.
That's it? Liu Yuxin carried a piece of equipment in one hand and stuffed them into the cargo hold, closed the hatch and jumped onto the roof of the base.
By the time they arrived in the D3 area, there were already more than a dozen base cars parked there. Dozens of Raider mechs are hovering around a bottomless cavern.
Liu Yuxin approached the cave and sensed it. Hey? A wave of suspicion flooded his mind. In his perception, there is a clear layering of the ice breaks here, and it is not the first time that the ice here has been opened!
Chang Haotian also jumped from the cab at this time and squeezed into a group of people in the open space
"What's the situation? Where is the Demon Seed? ”
"We opened the ice after discovering the anomaly, but there was no demon seed underneath, only a large bottomless hole. We dropped the drones, but they lost contact with us after descending to a certain depth. Since we, the raiders, have relatively high requirements for the terrain, there is no way to go down to investigate the situation, so we can only wait here for the support of the headquarters. ”
The answer to Chang Haotian was a strong man in his thirties
Chang Haotian shook hands with him
"I don't know what to call a brother?"
"I'm Ye Ying, the commander of the Flying Eagle Tactical Squad"
The strong man pointed to the two raiders who were waiting next to the cave with his hand
"That's the two brothers Xiao Fei and Xiao Jian, the assault guys of our team, and a few brothers are recovering their physical fitness in the base car, so I won't call them out one by one."
"Ah, no, no, let them rest."
Chang Haotian waved his hand again and again, and then said to his teammates on the communication channel
"Let's take a break, too. Everything will be said when the personnel from the headquarters arrive."
Liu Yuxin still stood on the edge of the pit and extended her perception downwards as if she hadn't heard it. To say that Lieutenant General Chang Shengshi, who presided over this operation, knew nothing about the anomalies here, it would definitely be a big joke. Now that this cave has been discovered, whether there is a so-called demon seed in it, they must explore it clearly. Depending on the situation, the soldiers who came to carry out the mission this time were kept in the dark, and the military high-level will definitely not easily disclose information to them, so it is up to them to collect as much information as possible about this cave.
The perception has bottomed out 300 meters underground, and on the black hard and cool ground, three Alliance Military drones are lying quietly on the ground, and from time to time there are sparks from the short circuit of the battery.
EMP Attack! The paralyzed drone on the ground is in good shape but has a broken circuit, no doubt under electromagnetic attack.
But when the drone lost contact, it did not detect a high-power electromagnetic shock wave signal, and it should be some kind of small-scale attack with extremely high accuracy. So who is installing such a high-end defense system in such a place?
"What's wrong? Did you find anything? ”
Finding that Liu Yuxin was not resting like everyone else, Shen Hongbing drove the mecha to his side. Although his combat talent is only mid-to-upper, he can't compare to any member of the team. However, his rich experience in performing tasks made him aware of the anomalies of this matter.
"I'm not sure yet, but be careful later."
Once his suspicions are spoken, whether Chang Haotian in the team knows about this matter or not, everyone will become very embarrassed to get along with him, and Liu Yuxin decided that it is better to deal with this matter carefully.
Feeling that her perception had reached the limit, Liu Yuxin, who had made no new discoveries, gave up the idea of continuing to explore the depths. Looking at the situation underground, the road is very long, and no matter how hard you try to yourself, you won't find anything new.
Maybe I should ask Xiao Wu, who has a database all over the world, to see if there are any other gains, Liu Yuxin, who popped up the mecha and breathed it, suddenly came up with this idea
"Little Wu, what do you think of the underground tunnels on this Antarctic land?"
"Whew~, I can finally come out and breathe"
The elf projected by Xiao Wu flew out of the terminal again and circled around Liu Yuxin a few times
"Wow, the owner has become more pretty!"
Is that how men praise it? You idiot! Liu Yuxin forcibly suppressed her urge to turn off the terminal
"Stop giving me nonsense, hurry up and answer my questions!"
"Master, you are so ruthless, you haven't seen each other for so long, but you are so cold to others!"
Xiao Wu made a crying expression, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
Liu Yuxin felt that the green tendons on her forehead were protruding one by one, and her fingers were pinched.
"Antarctic underground tunnels? I don't think I've heard this kind of thing! However, there is a legend that after the end of World War II, the defeated Third Reich led a large number of scientists and wealth to Antarctica, and secretly established an underground city. The Allies also sent a KLA to search the Antarctic continent, but to no avail, and slowly this became a legend. ”
The remnants of the Third Reich? It may not seem like it, but the technology displayed in the tunnels far exceeded the level of research and development at the time, even compared to today's alliances. Even if the Third Reich had built a city underground, its R&D capabilities would not have been able to keep up with the alliance that had gathered the scientific and technological power of the entire world.
Xiao Wu saw Liu Yuxin shaking his head there, knowing that he was not very satisfied with his statement, so he hurriedly said again
"When it comes to the Third Reich, there is actually a very interesting way to say it. It is said that during World War II, they received help from extraterrestrial civilizations, so they were able to defeat the Allies in the early stages of the war. After the defeat, the Allies seized engineering drawings at their research institutes also showed that they had researched something far beyond the level of production technology at the time. ”
"In the middle of the war, the opinions of the Third Reich and extraterrestrial civilizations diverged. The extraterrestrial civilizations cut off their support for them, and the Third Reich, without strong support, was powerless to fight the whole world, and was defeated in the later wars. In order to salvage the situation, they sent several teams to search for traces of those advanced civilizations around the world, hoping to save the situation with them. At that time, they entered a deep tunnel on the Tibetan plateau, but after the soldiers of the entire squadron went down, there was no more news. ”
"Extraterrestrial civilizations?"
Liu Yuxin nodded thoughtfully. With the experience of crashing the spaceship base, Liu Yuxin is no longer superstitious that humans are the only intelligent race on this earth. Since there was an intelligent civilization like the Giants hundreds of millions of years ago, there is no reason why the earth, with its 5.6 billion long history, would not give birth to other civilizations.
Xiao Wu saw Liu Yuxin nodding, happily flipped a few somersaults in the air, and then pasted Liu Yuxin's face
"Master, did Xiao Wu help? Little Five is so happy! The owner is happy, and the little five is very happy! ”
Liu Yuxin couldn't help but be moved in her heart: What a simple intelligent life!
"Thank you, Little Five. It helped a lot! ”
"Then master, you have to remember to come to play with Xiao Wu often!"
Xiao Wu left a word of advice, and turned into a streamer that was converged into the terminal (in fact, it was automatically turned off, and the projection was gone).
——————
The long wait is finally over. A transport ship slowly landed in the snowfield and opened the door, and three strange mechs that were different from the raiders jumped out of it.
The Raider's slightly thinner body is equipped with silver armor, which is somewhat similar to the morphed material of the Holy Angel's Longsword. The body itself has also been reduced in weight as much as possible, and the entire mecha looks like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of silver skin. On his weak shoulders was a rectangular head like a surveillance device, and six of these red eyes were divided into two rows and evenly arranged on his forehead.
Then Chang Shengshi also walked out and said to Liu Yuxin, who was at a loss
"These are the 'Pretender Love' mechs used by the Alliance specifically for reconnaissance of all kinds of complex terrain. They are lighter than the Raiders, and can walk and fight on a variety of terrain that cannot bear weight; The fluid armor on the body can also focus on one point to protect a specific position, and the six detection devices on the head give it 6 different dynamic capture methods, which is best for reconnaissance in unidentified terrain. ”
"Liu Yuxin?"
One of the pretenders bent down, the six eyes on his head twitching
"You and your sister are so similar! It's a twin, right? ”
"Brother Liu!"
Liu Yuxin was shocked when she heard this, and immediately understood Chang Shengshi's plan.
This bastard!
Yes, as a helper, it is no problem if they are unwilling to continue exploring the cave, even Chang Shengshi has no way to force them. But Liu Dongfa is different, as an active-duty soldier, no matter what he will face, he must meticulously carry out the orders of his superiors - as long as the orders do not harm the interests of the Federation.
And as Liu Yuxin, who has a lifelong friendship with Liu Dongfa, how can he sit idly by and ignore him when he is in danger, he will definitely be involved, this is a dignified and upright conspiracy! Unlike conspiracy, it uses its advantages to push its opponent into a desperate situation step by step, making it impossible to avoid and resist.
After Liu Dongfa and them left, Liu Yuxin looked at the lieutenant general with fire in her eyes
"Is this what I get in return for helping my classmates?"
Chang Shengshi couldn't meet Liu Yuxin's eyes and tilted his head to the side
"Don't blame Haotian, he was also kept in the dark by me. If there were any other possibility, I would not have taken such an extreme measure. I am not ignoring your lives, but because this matter is related to the fate of mankind, I have to make this decision. I'm sorry, Liu Yuxin......"
Liu Yuxin snorted coldly
"You don't have to say sorry to me, what you should say sorry for are those unwitting subordinates who were taken to death by you!"
Lieutenant General Chang sighed
"I believe that as a soldier of the Alliance, no matter who you are, you will have no hesitation in sacrificing everything you have for the Alliance and humanity!"
Although Liu Yuxin hated his self-talk very much, she had to admit that what he said was the truth, thinking of Liu Dongfa's usual behavior.
With a snort full of anger, Liu Yuxin shouted at Liu Dongfa, who had set up the equipment
"Brother Liu, you wait, I'll go down with you!"
