Chapter 93: Lou Lanhai
Tarim, a small green island located in the middle of the Tarim Basin, was discovered in IC6, green island number 42. Tarim has a total area of 940 square kilometers and a permanent population of 170,000. This is an ordinary green island, no well-known scenery, no pillar industry, as the main channel connecting the Ark and Greenwich, 57% of Green Island's revenue comes from the transit and warehousing of goods. As a result, Tarim has built a large number of warehouses and cargo yards, which alone take up nearly half of the Green Island, but still cannot hide its depressed economy and low employment rate. The most famous figure in the history of Tarim is Billy. Rahe, a war correspondent. During the First Remnant War, Rahe followed the progress of the Ark forces as a mortal, and in the final battle, the hillside he was on collapsed, killing Rahe, and only the camera with him was found.

January 22, IC64.
The noon sun is like a knife, sprinkled on the pure white sand sea, and there is no desert as far as the eye can see.
A small black dot appeared on the horizon, whistling and rolling up dust, and the magic carpet whizzed past, moving straight towards the ground in a fixed direction.
After a long time, the flat sand surface arched into a bulge: "No. 3 handover, adsorption mode lifted, No. 5 shift." β
Yikes! The exhaust air currents blew away the sand, and more sand flowed down the bulge like water, revealing a human figure in a full-coverage hazmat suit.
"The changing of the guard is complete, and the 5th is in place. Come and eat, there is wine today, and you won't stay late. On the intercom, a middle-aged man's voice came, lazy and lazy.
"Fart, what do you mean by being late and not staying, if you dare to touch Lao Tzu to take a sip of wine, I will go to the major to sue you for deducting the welfare of the soldiers." No. 3 took off the protective and spat viciously, and under the protective suit was a sturdy middle-aged man.
"You threw it in my head, old Renault." A muffled voice came over the walkie-talkie.
"Don't try to trap me, your post is far away." Number 3, that old Renault. Roll up your suit into a bag and carry your automatic rifle towards a sandbag not far away.
"No. 5 violated the discipline of the sentry post, remember it yourself, and wait until you go back to Loulan to find the military justice department to receive the punishment." Suddenly, a woman's voice interjected, very serious, and seemed to be the head of these people.
"Xiaomei, I still have to help your Uncle Wu write two notes, he is old, maybe he will miss it." Old Renault gloated.
"Fuck off! Lao Tzu has violated military law 17 times in the past 10 days, remember it clearly! "No. 5, that is, Lao Wu didn't hold back. He is famous for his chatter, and the people in the team like to tease him to talk, 30 push-ups at a time, and those juniors in the Military Justice Department are still quite humane, they have a rule, 8% off for more than 10 cases at a time, and 6% off for more than 20 cases, Lao Wu has always been the existence with the most discounts.
"Uncle Wu, it's actually 22 times, plus this time it's a total of 23 times, go back and remember to update." Look, another six-fold to hand.
There is an iron hatch at the bottom of the sandbag, and inside the hatch is the Loulan No. 1 outpost, which is always guarded by 12 sentries every 15 days, monitoring the passage between Tarim and Loulan 24 hours a day. There are three such posts, No. 1 is the farthest, 120 kilometers from Loulan, No. 3 is the closest, 10 kilometers from Loulan, and No. 2 is located right in the middle of them, on a cliff in the canyon area.
Old Renault opened the hatch, gestured his middle finger at Lao Wu's sentry position, and jumped down with a grin. He is 42 years old this year, his sons are 20 years old, and he is in the same class as him, known as Little Renault. As an active special soldier, he is really a bit old, but there is no way, the institute has a special mission, and personnel are not allowed to enter or leave. In the first few years, Su Dingchen could secretly send some new blood from time to time through Moju, but he completely stopped it 5 years ago.
The institute is located in the center of the desert, to ensure the supply channel needs to fight with the sand, there will always be people who die, the combatants are stretched, the old Renault, who has been retired for 2 years, and a group of old brothers were ordered to resume service, and finally assigned to the same squad with his son, going into battle with father and son, he never imagined that this sentence would one day become a reality in his body.
Greeting his comrades who were walking back and forth, old Renault walked into the cafeteria, took out his water bottle and threw it to an old man in a chef's suit: "Daddy Philip, it's full of trouble." β
When Su Dingchen set up the institute, he solicited the opinions of every selected soldier and scientist, 400 people, more than 140 families, almost all of them moved as families, some old and some young, under the age of 14 to study full-time, and over 14 years old began to undertake some work within their ability. So Loulan's name is very peculiar, the largest generation is called Daddy or Mom, the Mesozoic is old, the new generation is small, 9 years have passed, and now there are 3 more little guys born in the laboratory, they are called Xiaoxiao.
"Isn't there a little bit left of that?" Father Philip squinted and shook the kettle, and half a pot of water, and threw it back to old Renault.
"Daddy, I'm talking about wine, wine!" Old Renault grunted and drank the water dry, "It's gone now, fill it up." β
Father Philip took out a bottle of brandy like a thief, poured 2 taels into the mouth of the bottle, blew 2 taels into his mouth happily, burped in satisfaction, closed the cap and put it away: "That's all." β
"That's all? Daddy, you drank more than you gave me! "Old Renault is in a hurry.
"Fart! Which eye did you see me drinking! Your aunt won't let me drink, and I've been quitting drinking for more than 3 months! Daddy Philip blew his beard and glared with a sigh of wine.
Only women and the elderly are difficult to support. Old Renault took the kettle with a sad face on his shoulder. If you don't fight, you won't have to fight for this anymore.
Sniffing carefully at the mouth of the bottle, put it to the mouth and gently snort, taste the aroma between the lips and teeth, these 2 taels he plans to sigh for 3 days, who knows when the next time the wine will be distributed, those mothers are forcing their fathers to quit drinking, and when replenishing supplies, they buy wine by the bottle, which is a base of 400 people.
Bang bang! A sturdy young man with thick eyebrows ran in, didn't take off his protective clothing, just took off his hat: "Dad!" It's Xiao Yu just now, right? It was Xiao Yu who flew over just now! β
This is little Renault, on the same shift as his father, No. 4, when the magic carpet flew over, it was the father and son soldiers who were sentry, and naturally saw everyone on the magic carpet. Little Renault was very excited, trotting all the way back to show off, not taking off his protective clothing, not drinking water, so he came in much earlier than Old Renault, and had already released big words in front of the 3 male characters in this group, Xiao Yu smiled at me.
"Who's having a fart relationship with you!" Old Renault shook his father's outline, raised his hand to teach his son a lesson, the sound of water was agitated, and little Renault's eyes lit up, and he was thirsty.
Goo-goo-goo, goo-goo-goo.
The Adam's apple rolled, and every time it crushed on the heart of old Renault, 2 taels were not drunk, and after a few sips, little Renault spewed out a mouthful of wine with satisfaction: "Dad, you are too inauthentic, you actually secretly hide wine." "Smash it, smash it, it's a good wine.
"Hide your mother!" Old Renault was possessed like a declining god, jumped three feet high, and slapped his son's head, "Lao Tzu killed you, just as if you never gave birth to this son!" β
"Dad, calm down, calm down!" Little Renault ran away, "Daddy! Captain! Help me! My life is Loulan's, Dad, you can't just beat me to death! Help me! β
β¦β¦
Passing through the sentry post, it means that it is close to Loulan. The magic carpet has been modified by Maori scientists to be so fast that it can reach its destination in one hour.
A group of people wore radiation cloaks and sat in a circle on it. The cloak is fat and fat, hiding its head and tail, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a man or a woman, which is very similar to the ritual of some kind of cult organization.
"Your research institute is called Loulan?" The stinky boy spread out the map and estimated his location by speed, which actually didn't make much sense, because there was no Loulan on the map at all.
"Loulan is an ancient place name, and now it is a lake, the name is Loulanhai, and the research institute is built under the lake."
"Lou Lanhai?"
"It's a big freshwater lake, more than 300 meters deep at its deepest, and there are more than 700 species of aquatic life living in it." Qin Yu is very proud of his second hometown.
"Such a large purification lake has not formed a green island?" The stinky boy has seen it.
"Who said she was purifying the lake?" Qin Yu scoffed at the country boy's insight, "If she purifies the lake, we will run your Maori to steal some large purification device." β
"You also stole a large purification device?" The little girl also got involved.
Hu Pei shook his head with a headache, is this a self-defeating confession: "We are there to study genetic stabilization methods for mutant species. β
"Genetically stable? If the experiment is successful, won't it be possible to reduce the aggression of mutated creatures? "Science is the field of the little girl, and in the world of genetic research, she must be at least a quasi-fourth-order powerhouse now.
"You're not stupid!" The eldest lady has also seen a lot.
"Cut, don't you know that idiots and geniuses are always a thin line?" The stinky boy pulled back a city, but this is the method......
Sure enough, the little girl slapped her hand on the stinky boy's thigh, and sank vigorously: "Who are you talking about idiots!" β
"Who said you were an idiot! Isn't there a thin line between them! The stinky boy replied.
Qin Yu silently untied the holster, assembled it and handed it to Mo Qiu. Mo Qiu took it, and he took it very handy, but what did he use it for?
"Poking it with it hurts a lot more than a slap." Qin Yu's face was expressionless.
The stinky boy was in a cold sweat, this was a knife to kill: "Idiot woman, we have such a big feud." β
Qin Yu thought about it seriously: "Don't worry, as long as the little boss is not capable, there is no spear in the palm of the thunder in his hand to stab the dead." β
What kind of heart do I put in it!
β¦β¦
At the same time, the Masters of Les MisΓ©rables also got off the train at Tarim Station.
The officer who picked up the station trotted over and looked at the four ghost faces trembling.
"Are things ready?" Toren stepped forward and asked. Because he wanted to stay in Eden to stabilize the situation, neither Fanor nor Maddie, who had just taken refuge in the battle, participated in this battle. He appointed Li Dajiang to lead the team, but Li Dajiang didn't say a word along the way, and the fiery Torun couldn't wait, and put forward a battle plan, An Muluo supported it, and Ling Tong did not oppose it, so Tolun. Douglas became the de facto commander of the operation.
"It's all set, it's in the parking lot." The officer replied cautiously. Legend has it that these ghosts are all puppets, fighting machines that have erased their memories with instruments, and machines are more difficult than people, which is an argument that no one who plays politics will object.
"What about the soldiers?" Toren continued to ask, his voice unhappy or angry, unable to hear a trace of emotion, which made the official even more convinced of the legend.
"Tarim is a small place, with less than 400 soldiers, and the speaker has already reported that there will be reinforcements from an elite regiment in a week at most."
"No need, just these 400 people, we'll leave in one hour." Torun didn't plan to wait for any elite regiment at all, in his mind, soldiers were just used to carry and take prisoners, a small research institute, with the four of them already used cattle knives to kill chickens.
"One hour?" The official smiled bitterly, how could those soldiers in Tarim be assembled in one hour, "Isn't it too urgent?" I'll see if a few people are tired from the journey, do you want to take a break first, I've already prepared a meal......"
"We're eating on the way." Toren interrupted the officer, "In 1 hour, everyone will assemble at the east exit of the magnetic shield, and those who arrive late will be shot on the spot." β
Leaving a few sneers, Toren left in high spirits, and Anmulo followed suit.
Ling Tong shook his head: "Old man, you just let that kid grab power?" β
"Seize power?" Li Dajiang was noncommittal, "Do you mean the command of the 400 rabble?" β
Professor, I'm going to kill again, kill ...... All are your believers.
