Chapter 433: Goodbye Devourer
Where is humanity? Where is kindness? Who buried such a brave and kind fighter? Is it the cold-blooded Corey of the "Rover Technology Consortium"? Christian! It's a fastidious and forgetful insurance company!
In the moment of the brush with death, Rutherford had a flash of inspiration in his mind, he understood, and even saw the ridiculous scene that was about to play out in the future.
He felt ashamed, he had no evidence, and he was powerless to resist, so he chose to remain silent.
Tang Fang did not dwell on this issue, because there are too many injustices in the world, too many conspiracies, he has no time and no energy to be a savior, the world is big, and he is very small.
"Let's go, take me to him." This sentence is not addressed to Rutherford, it is addressed to Raleigh? Rodney.
Raleigh? Rodney was impatient, he hated every minute of his time here, even if the coffee in the cup was so fragrant and the music was so soothing.
However, when he heard Tang Fang's words, he didn't get up immediately, but said with a blank face: "You...... Are you going to 'Toratir'? ”
"Do you have an opinion?" Tang Fang frowned, and there was a hint of coldness in his tone.
Raleigh? Rodney felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly defended: "No...... No...... I didn't mean that, I meant your identity, customs...... Customs there ......"
"Ankalim" is an open space station, as long as you are not a fugitive wanted by the Silver Eagle, you can come here to travel and spend after obtaining a visa, but the "Toratir" below it is different, this planet in the "Babylon" star system is owned by the Silver Eagle, and foreigners are not allowed to visit.
Tang Fang and the others were from the "Hanging Garden", and they were not citizens under the jurisdiction of the Silver Eagle Regiment, so they were not qualified to enter the "Toratire" at all, if they did not have the permission of the customs department. Rash intrusion into the airspace of "Tolatir" will certainly be knocked out by air-based defense facilities.
No one is not afraid of death, Raleigh? Rodney is no exception.
"You're going to 'Toratir'?"
Tang Fang felt that there was no need to explain, so he didn't explain, where did he think that Rutherford suddenly interjected and asked.
"Do you have a way?" He asked quietly, despite Emma's help. It would not be difficult for him to break through the space-based defense line of "Toratir", but if he could infiltrate Guò through other means, he could use it to hide his strength.
Raleigh? Rodney was a gangster, but he didn't sin unto death, and he would only do things like murder when he had no other choice.
"Come with me."
Rutherford got up and walked out the door.
As a person with a strict spiritual cleanliness, he firmly believes in a saying, the grace of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring!
…………
1 hour later. A silver-gray shuttle flew out of the dock of the "Ankalim" space station, like a nighthawk under the stars, shooting straight at the "Toratir" below.
As the embassy planet of the Silver Eagle Regiment in "Babylon", "Toratir" was built into a comprehensive residential star integrating warehousing, logistics, politics, military and life.
Compared to "Utopia", "Toratir" is much smaller in size, and has a small population and development area, after all, "Babylon" is also the territory of the Star Covenant. The Silver Eagle will not be as desperate as the Covenant government is to build a Utopia, as long as the habitable area of Toratir is sufficient to accommodate the branches and staff of the various organizations under the SilverEagle Order. That's enough.
"Smuggling" and "smuggling" have been a lucrative business since ancient times, and many gangs involved in organized crime, even glamorous commercial organizations, could not resist its temptation, and Rutherford's "Watt" group was no exception, and as the head of the transportation department, he traveled between the "Troloque" star system and "Babylon" all year round. Because of his work, he got acquainted with some customs staff, and the smuggling of a few people from "Ankalim" to "Toratir" was a trivial matter. After all, no one would think that a few people alone could overthrow the rule of the Silver Eagle over the "Toratir", and the Inland Garrison was not a vegetarian.
Rutherford was curious about the purpose of their coming to "Toratier", from Don Fang to Raleigh? Rodney's conversation reads. It should be looking for someone, what is it that makes this famous "Morning Star Casting" big boss care so much?
Despite the strangeness in his heart, he was very wise not to ask, he was not stupid, he knew that there were things that could be asked and things that could not be asked.
…………
Tang Fang and others were destined for a plateau region in the Western Hemisphere that was undeveloped and desertified. Rodney confessed that after he took the money out of the "Zhiyuanxing" bank account, he transported the money to an iron cabinet in a room in an abandoned environmental control station in the plateau area according to the orders of the mysterious person.
Interestingly, neither the "Toratir" map nor the observation satellites have found any trace of the abandoned environmental control station.
Tang instructed Emma to retrieve the records of the highway monitoring facilities around the plateau area, and found that in the past few months, there has been no exception for Raleigh? Outside of the hovercraft that Rodney was driving, there were no other vehicles or aircraft entering this lost plateau.
This can't help but make him a little curious, which Raleigh? What is the origin of the mysterious person who is called CODE.A, who is suspected of being the backstage boss of the "Zhiyuan Star" Star Trade Group? And what is the money disposed of?
In the end, he thought of a possibility, or rather a guess.
…………
Planet "Toratir", the plateau of Budalas.
The breeze blows the sparse weeds on the Gobi Desert, where it is not hot, and there is no dust flying in the sky, only tranquility in the sand to precipitate, precipitate, and precipitate.
Raleigh? Rodney got out of the car and stared blankly at the desolate wind-eroded Gobi in the distance.
"No, nothing, how could it be!" Obviously, he came here 2 months ago, the coordinates are correct, and the environment has not changed in the slightest, but why is the dilapidated building missing, so gone?
Jesus above, what the hell is going on!
He patted his face, which was not enough, and squeezed his thigh hard, until the pain came, and only then did he confirm that the qiē in front of him was not a dream, but a reality that could no longer be real.
"Don ...... Mr. Tang, it ...... It used to be here. I can swear to God it was there before! Believe me, I'm definitely not lying. ”
"It" naturally refers to the Environmental Control Station, the dilapidated building that should have stood at the end of the line of sight.
"Go back." Tang Fang got out of the car, his expression was very calm, and he didn't blame him at all.
Raleigh? Rodney thought he had misheard. He looked at the young man who was walking forward step by step, until Churchill patted him on the shoulder: "Boss let you go back!" ”
He felt the same as just now, just a few slight shakes of his fingers, and he didn't pinch his thighs again after all.
Rutherford came up from behind: "Then you ......"
"Leave us alone, let's go! How far to go! Churchill snapped.
Raleigh? Rodney didn't dare to slack off, turned into the car, started the engine, turned the hovercraft on the spot, and beckoned, "Rutherford." Are you going or not? ”
Looking at Tang Fang and the others who were getting farther and farther away, the black man sighed and greeted him from afar: "Remember to contact me if necessary." ”
Tang Fang didn't look back, raised his right hand and waved.
Seeing this, Ratherford no longer hesitated, jumped on the hovercraft and went all the way.
Until the dust disappeared at the end of the horizon, Tang Fang looked up at the blue-white sky of "Toratir" and paused. Then summon a set of Horse Run Armor and a set of Marauder Armor. A set of fire bats.
"Stay here and wait for my orders." When it was neatly finished, he strode forward.
There was nothing in front of him, with only a few stubborn shrubs, desolate in the sand, weathering the wind and the sun day and night.
Aros walked behind a rock and sat down, and felt out Corey? The refined cigar that Christian gave him lit one. I put it to my mouth and took a big sip.
The smoke was torn apart by the wind blowing across the face, and a few fragments fell from the weathered stones, which "crackled" on Ma Runjia.
Churchill and Hausen walked up to the veterans and sat down, the sun shining on them and casting two long shadows, like two hills of steel.
Not far away. Tang Fang's figure slowly disappeared into the sunlight, leaving only footprints of different shades on the ground.
…………
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, there is nothing to grow at the end of the field of vision except for the gravel, but in Tang Fang's eyes, there is clearly a building erected there, radiating extremely low heat energy to the outside world.
Without the radar detection mechanism of the planetary command center and the thermal vision of the harsh environment protective suit, it would be difficult to find that there is such an abandoned environmental conditioning station on the Podalas plateau, where birds don't.
A phantom device that can shield thermal energy from satellites, and hide an abandoned climate control station with such a high-tech thing? What exactly are you trying to hide? Presumably Raleigh? Rodney's previous visit to the illusion device was dormant, which led him to mistake it for an abandoned and dilapidated building.
Tang Fang's footsteps were not slow, and as he walked, he observed, to be exact, the location of the scanning function of the Planetary Command Center to detect the location of the illusion device control center.
HE KNOWS VERY WELL THAT THERE ARE VERY FEW STUPID PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD, AND THERE ARE NOT MANY STUPID PEOPLE, SINCE THE MYSTERIOUS PERSON NAMED CODE.A IS SO CAUTIOUS THAT HE SHRINKS HIS HEAD AND HIDES HIS TAIL AND DOES NOT DARE TO SEE PEOPLE IN HIS TRUE FACE, THEN THIS ABANDONED ENVIRONMENTAL ADJUSTMENT STATION MUST HAVE EARLY WARNING MEASURES, SO HE RETREATED FROM RALEIGH? Rodney and Rutherford chose to investigate on their own.
"Commander, the source has been locked, coordinates 22,115." Emma's voice rang in her head.
Tang Fang agreed, followed the guidance of the navigation system to the place buried by shrubs and plants outside the environmental adjustment station, slowly squatted down, and picked up the branches and leaves.
An electronic device was silently inserted in the sand, half buried in the sand, and the signal light flickered again and again, emitting a light that did not shine very brightly.
"Emma, do it!"
He pierced the probes of the harsh environment suits into the core of the device, and waited quietly for the zombie program to be injected.
"Commander, the goal has been achieved, but no functional modules for information transmission have been detected in the device."
"No?"
Tang Fang frowned, which meant that there was no monitoring program in the environmental adjustment station, only a single illusion system.
Based on the scanning records of space-based satellites, it was determined that in recent months, the area has been replaced by official drones and Raleigh drones. There was no one else visiting Rodney, and a guess came to his mind.
Follow Raleigh? According to Rodney's description, the place where Don Fang came to put his money was a dilapidated hall inside the Climate Control Station.
The yellow sand had accumulated a thick layer on the ground, and the surrounding walls had cracked. The front window was shattered, glass shards were scattered all over the ground, and the outside had been buried by dust and sand, and only the inside of the house could still be faintly recognized.
Tang Fang stopped at the door for a long time, then turned to leave. After a half-circle around the environmental adjustment station, he finally looked at the ground and slowly squatted down, brushing away the accumulated gravel with his hands, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In a flash of black light, a giant beetle larger than a siege tank appeared on the sand, with pointed, short appendages, a solid shell covered in layers like fish scales, and eight eerie eyes.
Mucus and parasites pooled and spread beneath it, and a large number of appendages in front of it poked into the ground with fine holes.
The tentacles sticking out of the infected's mouth swept a few times on the ground that Tang Fang had just brushed open. Send back a situation.
Sure enough, just as he had guessed!
After giving the order to the infected, the Tang side beckoned the three of Aros and released a siege tank, and the four jumped into the car and galloped quickly towards the north.
…………
About 40 minutes later, when they reached a distance of more than 100 kilometers from the environmental adjustment station, the siege tanks stopped, and the Tang side took cover with a heavily weathered boulder. Look up at a small hill not far away.
On the surface, it looks like the hills you've seen along the way, full of holes. The ravines are staggered, and under the rough carving of the desert wind, which is not very strong, it reveals a taste of time like a knife.
"Wait for me here."
The stealth function of the harsh environment protective suit was activated, and Tang Fang slowly disappeared from the field of vision of the three people, along with the rows of cockroaches behind.
…………
A few minutes later, a stream of light flashed on a raised boulder at the waist of the barren hill. Tang Fang's figure slowly appeared, along with the roar of siege tanks.
"Boom!" Dust and sand burst and rubble rained down.
The air writhed at the edge of the boulder and the hill, and the original scene slowly rippled like water waves, and finally there was a "crackling" sound. The mottled stone wall suddenly disappeared, replaced by a heavy steel gate.
"Boom!"
There was another explosion, and in the eruption of fire, the steel gate was pierced by a plasma ball.
Bullets came out of the door and "clanged" on the outer armor of the siege tanks, but with their caliber, the siege tanks were not even hurt at all.
The fire flickered again, and the hole in the center of the gate continued to expand, revealing the flickering lights inside, and two guards who were prostrate on the ground, half of their bodies roasted.
Without hesitation, he stepped through the door.
The fire was still burning, the pungent stench of rancid air was coming from the air, and the swirling glow of the warning lights was stinging to the eyes.
A facility hidden under a barren hill, is the "Zhiyuan Star" a subordinate department of the Silver Eagle Regiment's government? Or is it a testing facility that other large pharmaceutical companies use to cover people's eyes? But...... Why hire Raleigh? Gangsters like Rodney help them withdraw? also made a leather bag company like "Zhiyuan Star" Interstellar Trade Group to confuse the public?
What exactly is it afraid of? Or who are you afraid of?
Tang Fang walked step by step, as if underground, what made him strange was that except for the two guards at the beginning, he did not encounter any other armed men, and the whole corridor was very quiet, only gradually moving away, and there was no light in the dimness.
The tunnel is very dry, and there is a subtle smell of disinfectant water.
After a long time, the corridor finally came to an end, and there was a door, much thicker than the one outside, which was normally used to defend against nuclear explosions.
Tang Fang looked at the probes in the cells near the exhaust pipes on both sides, blew them up casually, and then waved his hand slightly, and the five fanatics walked out of nothingness, and the psionic blades waved in a burst, and the anti-nuclear explosion gate was like a yellow mud under a shovel, peeling off piece by piece.
Finally, with a "bang" sound, a fanatic kicked his foot in the doorway, and the more than one-meter-thick anti-nuclear explosion gate was kicked out of a hole, revealing the lights behind it.
Aros, Hausen, and Churchill had already rushed over, and Tang Fang was in front of them and behind, and Yuguan drilled into the back room.
The room behind the door is spacious, with plenty of light, and the smell of disinfectant water in the air is a bit strong.
It was an empty hall, very clean, very bright, not much equipment, and likewise no people.
The hall is connected by a corridor, about 10 meters long, that leads to a sealed room.
"Don't let anyone out." With a command, Tang Fang glanced at the veteran, turned left and turned into the corridor.
After walking for a while, as he approached the door, suddenly a sound came through the crack, a moan, and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
He hesitated for a moment, the light in his eyes exploded, and suddenly a shot burst the door control device, grabbed the handle and pulled it out.
"Whoosh, whoosh."
Two shadows, one on the left and one on the right, flew towards him, accompanied by a pungent and fishy smell. Tang Fang didn't like this kind of taste, like caviar that had been stored for too long and spoiled, so disgusting that it made people want to pour all the overnight rice out of their stomachs.
He lowered his head, and so did Aros, two shadows spanning a distance of tens of meters, "popping" and sticking to the wall, painting a huge dirt, and then, the wall that was originally light became mottled and dull, like a mud wall exposed to the scorching sun, shriveled, cracked, and then decayed, turning into a pile of tofu dregs, which fell off the wall and fell to the ground to scatter as a fine powder.
While Tang Fang was still stunned, Aros had already fired, and the flickering firelight of the C-14 piercing hand illuminated the faces of the two, and the metal nails pierced through the crack in the door, and raindrops poured on the huge rotten flesh tissue in the center of the room and wriggling under the flickering lights on the roof. (To be continued......)
