The sky is getting dark, and the night is like a restless thought driving away the clear mind of the day, making people tired and drowsy. I flew quickly to the logistics base, intending to use sleep to eliminate my complicated thoughts. I returned to the base, Xiao Chen and Zhang Yang had already returned, and they were eating a fairly hearty dinner.

"Why don't you wait for me, the captain, to eat it yourself!" I feigned anger and said viciously.

"Good stuff for you!" Zhang Yang smiled, took out a pot of meat, and said diligently, "When I was looking for the rebels' lair, I found something like a free child, and I slaughtered the freshly burned one, but it was fragrant." ”

"Oh!" I reached out and grabbed a piece and put it in my mouth, it was very tender, and there was obviously a lot of seasoning in the meat, and the same meat was much better than the standard picnic meal.

"You won't be catching this "free child" all day, will you! Did you look for the rebels? ”

"Captain, you have wronged me, I have searched a lot of places and grabbed this little thing by the way to give everyone a tooth sacrifice." Zhang Yang knew that I was joking, but he still pretended to be aggrieved.

"Captain, Zhang Yang was wronged this time, he caught this "free son" when he was about to come back, and I also contacted him. Xiao Chen also explained for Zhang Yang.

"I know, just kidding." Seeing that Xiao Chen was as honest as ever, I said with a smile.

"This meat is very well handled, where did you find so many seasonings, it is good."

"I asked Hans for it, these veterans bring a lot of miscellaneous things."

"Oh, by the way, Hans's mechanical arm is pressed, we'll see him when we're done eating." Speaking of Hans, Xiao Chen's face became more honest.

"I asked him and he said he tried one, but the fit was not very good, and he had to adjust it again."

I gobbled up my stomach and called Xiao Chen and Zhang Yang to go to see Hans together. When he entered Hans's room, he was trying his left mechanical arm, and when he saw us coming in, he waved his arm and scolded, "This iron guy is still not as good as his mother." ”

"But it's better than nothing, or your mother will be sadder." I looked at this veteran, the losses in this war were far greater than expected, and we were all lucky.

"Have you found the rebels' lair? Find and tell me that I'm going to take revenge myself. ”

"No, the rebels are hiding in the cave like rats, it's hard to find, they've been here for so many years, it still takes a lot of time to find them."

"Sit down!" Hans beckoned, and sat down on the marching bed first: "Tell me what you found?" ”

"I found some different stones, there is no clue!" I sighed, patted Hans on the shoulder, and said, "We'll look for the left arm together, but there are too few people now." ”

"It seems that I can't go out without me! The hologram should be out tomorrow, and if the arm is okay we'll go together and see where the dog-day rebels can hide, and I'll be able to find them in a day. Hans looked like a stinky fart, and he burst out laughing.

We talked again, and it was evident that the fit of the arms was not good at all, and Hans's face was often shaking. Back in my own white house, I will soon be the ancient Zhou Gong.

Early the next morning, I received a notice that the three-dimensional holographic map was finally ready, and all the team members involved in the search went to the temporary headquarters to assemble. People came to the headquarters one after another, and they couldn't see the jump of nerve cells on their faces, and they had a straight face, obviously not very confident in the next search. I looked at the absence of Hans, his arm still needed to get used to. A large three-dimensional sphere was projected in the hall in the middle of the headquarters, and this was the 3D hologram of the Red Flame Star. Captain Tom was talking to several of the lieutenants, and an officer with an unfamiliar face stood to Tom's left, his blond hair and deep eyes striking at the bridge of his large, tall nose. Tom saw that everyone had arrived, and waved his hand, signaling everyone to approach the map:

"Let me introduce, this is Major Lars of the Military Intelligence Service, after finding the real headquarters of the rebels, Lars will convey to us the final orders of the headquarters, and now he will introduce you to some information about the rebel headquarters."

"Everyone, everyone has worked hard during this time, work hard, and if you find the nest, you can go home and rest for three or five months." Lars' opening remarks were very direct, "You should know that we got the news that the headquarters of the rebels is in a huge cave, you may also be a little suspicious, this time I can clearly tell you that this is absolutely correct, because this is the "Brain of the Gods" obtained from a captive, but this captive has obviously been trained to fight against the "Brain of the Gods", some details we have no way to understand, only read the most memorable thing in his mind, there is the content of this huge cave. ”

Everyone looked at each other, the "Brain of the Gods" is actually called the "Devil's Brain" by everyone, this is a forced brain reader, which can read most of the memories in the human brain, of course, the person who is read will generally become a fool, it is a very inhumane high-tech machine, and it is a machine that is strictly restricted by the Alliance, and it must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Don't be surprised, everyone." Lars had apparently anticipated our reaction, "Extraordinary moments, extraordinary means, think of your dead comrades!" Let me introduce you to the possible locations of the rebels' lair. ”

Lars said: "The Red Flame Star has a diameter of more than 9,000 kilometers, slightly smaller than our parent planet, Earth, and it has three major continents, let's call it continents A, B, and C for the time being. Continent A is the largest continent with 55 million square kilometers, which is the continent under our feet, and continents B and C have 41 million and 26 million respectively. As the name suggests, it has a huge red landform, mainly in continent A, in fact, there are still large areas of forests and grasslands in continents B and C. Lars pointed to two other continents.

"Why don't the rebels build their bases on continents B and C, there are also high mountains over there that can be built into hidden bases, there are many animals and plants, and the environment is good, why build on this relatively desolate continent A." Someone asked curiously. ”

"Could it be that the rebels are still strictly abiding by Article 4 (1) of the Alliance's Planet Development Code when they arrive here?" Zhang Yang pretended to be surprised and made an exaggerated expression, and everyone laughed. When Zhang Yang said this, when I think about it, the rebels really strictly abide by Article 4 of the development code, otherwise the damage to local biodiversity would be quite serious after this war is fought.

"It doesn't matter if you obey them or not, it's not too late to find them, and when you find them, give them the medal of nature (2)." Lars continued, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

"Here we find something different." Lars pointed to a small patch of green in the red of Continent A and said, "There are several large sinkholes here, we have to focus on searching, but we must be careful about safety. There are canyons with large drops here and here, and you should also focus on searching. ”

I looked at the map, listened and wondered where I would put my base if I were a rebel would be safe and fit. I saw a spot, and it was at the edge of where I was searching, a small canyon with a river flowing, and just east of the canyon was the area I had searched alone yesterday. And there is a small lake upstream of the river that is the one I saw yesterday. Lars continued, talking about a few suspicious points and matters to be aware of, and made a division of labor.

"The accurate information we have received so far is that this base must be on the continent under our feet now, let's act! Marines! I hope to hear your good news soon. Lars concluded.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed and flew to the area to which they were assigned. This time, I plan to search that small canyon with Xiao Chen and them first, and if I don't search, I will feel uneasy.

We quickly flew to that canyon and stopped at the very bottom of the canyon. This canyon has a drop of seven or eight hundred meters, the rocks are mostly bare, the strange rocks are craggy, and there are unknown strange trees growing on the cliffs. There is a small shrub with thorny branches, and a small fleshy tree with large branches at the bottom and smaller and smaller at the top. These strange little trees set off the strange rocky peaks of the entire canyon, but they have a special taste. There is a small stream at the bottom of the valley that is so clear that it should have flowed down from the lake upstream. We searched and found that there were many strange rocks on one side of the cliffs, and many of them were steep faulted cliffs with large cross-sections, as if a giant had cut them with a knife, and they were very smooth. This structure should be formed by a large fault in the whole mountain, and the whole mountain slides or extrudes and uplifts.

We searched this canyon for a long time, and there was no trace of the cave, and we were bored when a rabbit-like animal "squeaked" a cute little head on a small rock. It was not afraid to see us, and jumped onto a strange tree with a whoosh, and gnawed on the fat branches of the tree.

Looking at this little guy, I suddenly remembered the meat I ate last night, and asked Xiao Zhang, "Did you catch this animal yesterday?" ”

"yes, what's wrong! Oh, how about catching another one to eat today. Zhang Yang leaned over and said with a grin.

"Okay, but you only have one minute, and if you can't catch it, dinner will be yours."

"Isn't it! My esteemed captain is only a seed! Zhang Yang said that his hand was not ambiguous, and he didn't know where to find a knife, slowly approached the rabbit, and the "whoosh" knife left his hand.

"When did you practice such a flying knife, God is accurate!" Xiao Chen exclaimed, "When will you teach me, these days, it's rare to know how to use cold weapons!" ”

Zhang Yang proudly picked up the rabbit, "Where, where, I didn't learn from the veterans." ”

Put the rabbit away, see that this canyon is unlikely to be the target, and search a few other places, to no avail.

Back at the base, the rabbit was lying on the dining table as yesterday, and the meat in my mouth didn't taste as good as yesterday, a little different, what was the difference? I bit it, and it dawned on me that I shouted, "This rabbit is not right." ”

Note (1): Article 4 of the Alliance's Planet Development Code: The planet that produces life can be mined to a limited extent before the production of intelligent life, and a limited amount of hunting can be carried out on organisms, and small or medium-sized bases can be established, but the site selection of the base should be as much as possible at a site with poor biodiversity, and the damage to the natural environment should be minimized, and the impact on the evolution of the planet's protists should be reduced.

(2): Medal of Nature: Awarded to those who have made a surprise contribution to the protection of the natural environment, here is irony.
