Chapter 182: Special Meaning
The Shadow of Doom Fortress stands alone on the ground, its outer walls destroyed in many places, and the corpses of beasts are everywhere. The surviving warriors were clearing the battlefield, and several heavy mechs were using the wagon's compartment as shovels, and boxes of beast carcasses were being cleared outside the fortress.
Several hill-like piles of beast corpses had already been piled up outside the fortress, and they were still stacking higher. There were so many corpses that the main combat vehicle was used as a forklift, but it looked like it would take at least a day or two to clean up. Several special engineering vehicles are spraying fuel on the pile of beast corpses. A pile of corpses has begun to burn into flames, but I don't know how long it will take.
Inside the fortress, William, Joseph, and Kyle stood together, looking at the man opposite, their faces not very good-looking.
"Logically speaking, I should be grateful. But right now, I can't really say that word. Joseph's voice was cold.
The man opposite was dressed in general-level armor with a striking pirate flag on his chest. He didn't care about Joseph's coldness, and smiled: "No thanks, I'm just on a mission." ”
"I've never heard of pirate flags coming to the rescue of the lancers. ”
The man said, "Lord Looney has a big heart. Also, in this damn place, if you're finished, we probably won't be able to hold it out. As for the supplies, they should be compensated for your false information. ”
Joseph and William glanced at each other, William coughed, and said, "We don't know if false information is provided." ”
"I believe it. ”
Kyle then said, "Let's plan what we're going to do next, the beast tide may come back at any time." ”
Joseph nodded, emphasizing: "Declare in advance, only in this hellish place, I will temporarily cooperate with the Pirate Flag." Once you get out of here, don't expect me to help you in any way!"
The Pirate Flag man's smile remained unchanged, "Of course. If it were another planet, I would be willing to follow the beast tide and collect your corpses, rather than stab the beast tide in the ass like I did just now. ”
"You stabbed you too hard, I was almost killed by your gravity missile!" Joseph was very dissatisfied.
"Those missiles were to clear the airspace of the fortress. I didn't expect someone to take off in a heavy mech during a beast tide attack. ”
Joseph's face was uncertain, "How much do you know about the beast tide?"
"It's because I don't know much about it that I am even more confused. ”
Joseph's face turned red and he had to divert from the subject. Rising into the air in the tide of beasts is tantamount to suicide, not to mention that he is piloting a heavy mecha, not a fighter jet. Under the gravity of Planet 4, one and a half times that of Planet Four, the mecha's aerial power is very touching.
But in front of the pirate flag, he couldn't say that he was too eager for reinforcements to appear, so he would take to the air to observe.
Once again, Kyle came to the rescue, "How do you have gravitational missiles?"
"It's a strategic reserve. If you're lucky, this batch of missiles has just been delivered, and it can only be stored for 24 hours. When the time comes, it will be scrapped. ”
Joseph's eyes widened suddenly, "You ship a batch of gravitational missiles every day?"
"Yes. ”
"......" Joseph wanted to swear again. Compared to the Pirate Banner, the Lancers behaved like beggars. All the missiles they use are combined, and none of them are worth a single gravitational missile. After all, the two are not the things of one generation.
The man of the Pirate Banner didn't seem to want to miss the opportunity to replenish the knife, "When we found that the gravitational bomb was particularly effective against the tide of beasts, the amount of supplies doubled. ”
Joseph had no desire to ask for specific quantities of supplies.
The man continued to mend the knife, "Both bases are doubled. ”
Joseph didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Fortunately, the man saw that his heart was almost pierced, so he stopped and said, "We have discovered the abnormal movement of the beast tide, and we judged that it is coming from your side, so we sent a mobile force to come to the rescue." In addition to this, we have a high-level secret mission that requires your assistance. ”
"Say!" the pirate flag came to ask for help, which obviously made Joseph feel happy.
"Yes, we need to save an important person. We are sure that she is still alive. ”
"Let's go to the command center and talk. William led the group towards the command center building.
Only the top floor of the command building has floor-to-ceiling windows, and the rest of the floors have only small and narrow windows, like the shooting holes of a fortress.
The man with the pirate flag deliberately stopped outside the building, looked at it carefully, and looked at it thoughtfully.
The original command building was neat and clean, and from any floor you could enjoy the view of different parts of the fortress. However, when the war beasts attacked the interior of the fortress several times, and even stormed the command building, all the windows on the lower floors of the command building were sealed with armor plates, and only the shooting holes in the middle and upper floors remained.
From the Shadow Fortress to the Doomsday Shadow, only the location of this command building has not changed. Its changes also record the entire history of the fortress.
Inside Base 2, Hathaway was sitting on the top of the base, looking out at the scenery in the distance.
Base 2 is busy, and several small satellite bases are changing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. One of the small bases has expanded to the borders of the main base, and is connected to the main base.
Middleton was leading a few soldiers to remove stacks of standard building materials from the construction truck, building a passage to the main base and satellite base. As soon as they put the armor plate in the predetermined place, the joint will automatically snap tight. Then use a comprehensive construction tool to fix the connector, and it will be completed.
The process of installing a standard building material board takes less than a minute, which may take longer to move than the construction process.
When the passage is built, a special coating is sprayed to complete the sealing and achieve airtight conditions. The emergence of new coatings also benefits from survival-grade composites. It is the main part of airtight coatings.
With enough people and skilled work, a 10-meter-long airtight corridor can be completed in less than an hour.
In the opposite direction, where the beast tide often appears, it has become a completely new production base. Multiple refining furnaces are lined up, and a steady stream of refined materials is spit out.
In the distance, two large construction trucks were slowly driving back, apparently loaded with materials.
The entire base is changing all the time, especially the news of the breach of the beast's nest has given everyone the first glimmer of hope to return home. The same is survival, there is hope and there is no hope, the state is very different.
Everyone in the base is busy, and Hathaway is probably the only one who can take a leisurely look at the scenery. In fact, she was not really idle, at this time her personal chip was running the research task at full speed. And now the list of tasks is getting longer and longer, and it seems that it will never be finished.
At this moment, an alarm clock alert suddenly appeared on her personal terminal. Her face changed.
It was a special time with a special meaning.
