Chapter 24: Pursuit
"Damn, this battle can't be fought!" Behind, Base Guard Captain Nick threw away the wireless earbuds in his ears and collapsed into the comfortable seat of the cab. All the luck in his heart has been shattered, and Nick has no intention of fighting with the elite special forces team. At the moment, I can only turn to the special forces stationed in Iron Blood City for help, and I just hope that they will do something serious while robbing.
Outside the energy center, Zuo Zhe continued his previous style, tearing down the wall all the way to the spare energy center. The cable console that destroyed the energy center, as long as Zuo Zhe dismantled the backup energy center, he would be able to cut off the energy source of the underground base, obtain more energy, and at the same time give himself a chance to break through in the chaos. But the dull sound of explosions and signal shielding outside reminded Zuo Zhe and Ruiya that a new enemy had appeared!
"How do we do it?" In the cab of the war mecha, Ruiya asked worriedly. Without enough information, Ruiya didn't know how the battle was going outside, so she couldn't make appropriate responses according to different situations. After discovering through the camera that Zuo Zhe can control the flying knife with his mind, Ruiya's dependence on Zuo Zhe has become stronger and stronger. In such a dangerous place, Ruiya didn't dare to drive a single mecha to fight with Zuo Zhe. After all, Ruiya is essentially just a rookie mercenary, and she has experienced no more life-and-death battles than Zuo Zhe.
Ruiya didn't know where the battle was going on outside, and Zuo Zhe didn't know either. Fortunately, Zuo Zhe's real age is older than Ruiya, and he has more social experience than Ruiya. The most important thing is that Zuo Zhe's thinking ability has been greatly strengthened after becoming a Nian Neng, and even if he does not use Nian Neng to strengthen his thinking, his thinking ability is much stronger than before. Faced with Ruiya's question, Zuo Zhe showed a look of Zhizhu in his hand, which made the nervous Ruiya feel a sense of steadfastness and security.
Under the exploration of the micromechanical chameleon, the three special forces of the wolf pack quickly approached the location marked on the map by the energy center of the base. Considering that the enemy will most likely not sit still in the energy center, the special forces use the various detection equipment equipped with the mech, and try to feel any images, sounds, vibrations, smells, and traces that may belong to the target.
"The target disappears, and the suspect hides the target." Outside the messy central energy room, the special forces who had not found any traces of Zuo Zhe checked the traces left on the ground. Soon, the tiny mechanical chameleon found a hair that was barely visible to the naked eye from the place where Zuo Zhe had been before.
"Unknown hair was found, and there is a high suspicion that it was left behind by the target. Analyze odor residues on hair strands, look for chemical components in odor residues, and record and identify specific chemical components in odor residues. Initiate scent pursuit and discover the retreat path of the suspected target. ”
"Chase!"
The one-minute signal blockade quickly ended, and communications from the underground base were restored again. As soon as the base's communications were restored, Nick, the captain of the base guard, sent a request for help to the local special forces outside the base.
As soon as they received the request for help, the local special forces piloting the advanced individual mecha immediately recorded and rushed into the underground base and divided into three teams. The first squad joins up with the captain of the base guard and directs the base guard to entangle the enemy, incidentally asking for written permission from the captain of the base guard, Nick. The second squad acted independently, actively pursuing the enemy who had infiltrated the underground base. As for the third team, of course, it is stealing the confidential information of the underground base! Well, not a steal, but a blatant robbery! Since the special forces of Iron Blood City are allowed to enter the underground base, no one can stop the "legitimate" demands of the special forces to make extra money. The so-called "bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and officials are like shavings", how can soldiers risk their lives to perform their tasks, so how can they not make extra money? As for discipline? Can you expect a group of special forces trained by a consortium to serve the big consortium with any discipline that is not violated in autumn? With a 300% profit, people will not be afraid of crime, or even the danger of hanging. If turmoil and strife bring profits, capital encourages them.
In the corridor, three figures are highly consistent with the surrounding environment, and if you don't look closely, you can hardly notice the figures sneaking quietly in the green and dark corridor. The base's backup power is still running, and it's been heavily guarded by the base guards. However, the lights in the corridor have been destroyed, and only the green fluorescent lights remain. Ahead, mechanical chameleons are constantly destroying light bulbs, cameras, and possible remote-controlled bombs along their path. Having lost light bulbs and cameras, the base guards, located in the base's surveillance center, were unable to accurately capture the location of the intruders. If it weren't for the time constraints, the special forces of the wolf pack would have smashed the monitoring center of the base first. But now, now that the target's aura has been locked, there is no need to do it anymore.
"The concentration of the target's breath in the air is approaching a critical value, prepare for battle!" At the end of the corridor, an open room marked "Individual Mecha Maintenance Room" on the electronic map appeared in front of the eyes of the three wolf pack special forces. The second mechanical chameleon was released from the infrared camera and dived with the first towards the opening of the room in the front and rear walls where only one person could pass through. Although there were gaps in the front and back walls of this room, the concentration of the breath in the air told the special forces that the enemy was in this room. Because not far in front of the gap in front of the room, Zuo Zhe's breath has been lost!
In the room for repairing individual mechs, a series of mechs waiting to be maintained stand in their respective positions, either waiting to be repaired or waiting to be modified. Two mechanical chameleons roamed silently around the room, looking for any possible traces. Marks that are difficult for the average person to discern with the naked eye are not difficult for a small mechanical chameleon with a high-resolution camera.
After a round of searching, the layout of the room was checked through the shared vision of the mechanical chameleon, and the three special forces all saw the doubts in each other's eyes. There was no trace of Zuo Zhe's existence in the room, and some traces left on the ground also showed that Zuo Zhe did not come back after leaving.
Could it be that Zuo Zhe drove a lone mecha and left? If that's the case, you can't continue to track Zuo Zhe's breath.
Gaps in rooms that allow only one person cannot be allowed in. If you want to enter the room to investigate, you need to break through the walls or locked doors. Although the mechanical chameleon has been investigated, due to its size, the performance of the intelligent terminal in the body of the mechanical chameleon is not good, and the function is relatively monotonous, and it is possible that important information has been missed.
"Crack the electronic lock on the door and go in and have a look."
