Chapter 9: Enter the Lair Troops
Lannors was not surprised by this situation, and in four years, he had already understood the tempers of the two Autobots, and they had a good relationship in private.
"Wait, there's a comm coming in."
At this moment, Optimus Prime suddenly spoke, and then Li Qi saw the navigator panel on the cockpit, which suddenly automatically disassembled and reassembled into a brand-new electronic display screen, on which a few snowflakes flashed, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man in military uniform.
"Major Lannos, I heard you brought back a new guest this time?"
Lannos was originally lying comfortably on the seat, and when he saw the figure of the middle-aged man, he immediately sat up straight.
"Yes, sir, we're on our way back now."
"Stay safe, I'll report from my office when I get back to the base."
Li Qi noticed that behind the middle-aged man, there was a display that flickered with a faint fluorescence, obviously located in a position like the command headquarters.
"Understood."
The middle-aged man seemed to be just doing a routine, and then the communication was interrupted, and then Lannos smiled at Li Qi and explained, "This is the commander of our human troops, Major General Miller, you may not know the rank of our human army. But don't worry, when you join us, you'll quickly master the customs of humanity. ”
At the beginning, Li Qi was in too much hurry and didn't have time. Dealing with the commander of the human forces. Therefore, Lannos took it for granted that Li Qi did not know the division of human ranks.
"Our Elder Waldmar came to Earth a few years ago in a flying machine and recorded some messages. For example, some common sense of your human beings. Language. Habits, brought back to give us a lecture, although I secretly skipped class at that time to contact my superpower, but thanks to Elder Wodema gift. I still know some basic human knowledge, and English is also forced to be learned by Elder Waldmar. ”
Li Qi continued to make up reasons without blinking, trying not to leave flaws.
Obviously, Lannos and Optimus Prime firmly believed that there was indeed such a powerful "Elder Waldmar", so they did not doubt it, but began to ask Li Qi with interest about some customs and life of the Predators, Li Qi was in a cold sweat, while recalling clips from other movies and games, casually making up the non-existent "Hades Planet".
"Ah, our planet is shrouded in an endless expanse of blue fresh water. There are two sun-like stars that provide us with heat......"
The planes at night were very boring, and it was pitch black outside, so Optimus Prime and Ironskin, as well as Lannos, joined the audience of "Li Qi's Storytelling Time", listening to countless things that had never been heard of. Occasionally interject a couple of interesting facts about Cybertron and Earth.
In this way, under Li Qi's strong flickering ability, he quickly got closer to Lannos and the Autobots, and both sides almost "knew the roots", Li Qi was naturally happy to see this, among them, Lannos was very curious about Li Qi's armor technology out of the sensitivity of a soldier and an excellent officer.
"I'm sorry, our armor technology can't be reproduced on Earth, my armor is the last set of inventory of Pluto, because the material we use is mined in a meteorite belt called the Death Realm near Pluto, the production is extremely rare, you need to risk your life to collect, once the smelting is cooled, it will be indestructible, 500,000 degrees Celsius can't change its shape, as far as I know, there are few in the universe that can compare with this material."
Li Qi had long guessed that the military would be curious about his armor technology, and directly and generously admitted that alien materials did not exist in the world of Transformers anyway, and the power facilities of the armor were not within the reach of humans now, and Li Qi had no intention of contributing the armor to humans for free.
"I'm sure, because I've never seen such a strange and hard alloy in my scans, and if we Autobots were all of this alloy, we could have flattened all the Decepticons with our fists."
There was a hint of envy in Optimus Prime's voice, but also a deep sense of regret.
Under the cover of night, the plane quickly left the airspace of the United States and entered the sky over the Pacific Ocean, where countless precious mineral resources are hidden in the largest ocean on the planet.
Because of the dark night, Li Qi knew nothing except that he could tell that the plane was facing southwest, and soon, Li Qi saw from the cabin window that there was a point of light in front of him, and after the plane flew closer, he could see two rows of long runways illuminated by electric lights, and some American GIs were walking in twos and threes like ants on the ground.
"This is the main base of our lair troops, and this time we came out in a hurry, I don't know if the cafeteria has left us dinner."
Lannos quipped, and then Li Qi felt that the plane was lowering altitude, and soon, under the guidance of the ground tower and the light sticks waved by the command staff, the plane landed steadily on the ground.
After arriving at the base, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and after Li Qi followed Lannos off the plane, a heavily armed detachment came to him, and the American soldiers in the lead surrounded Li Qi with a look of vigilance.
"Hello, Major Lannos, we are here to receive guests on the orders of Major General Miller."
"Don't be nervous, this is the base guards, they will take you to do some tests before you can enter the base, rest assured, Optimus Prime and I will be by the side."
"I understand that we Predators won't let anyone else into our base casually."
Li Qi nodded in understanding, and then, accompanied by Lannos, followed the group of American GIs into an off-road vehicle, with Optimus Prime following behind, heading towards a base facility on a mountain peak not far away.
The base is not small, with three wide runways for take-off and landing in different wind directions, and there are dense cameras and surveillance facilities everywhere around the base. There are also many dark sentinels. The base is tightly guarded.
"It looks like the secrecy of the Nest Force is not low."
Li Qi secretly summed up. The SUV then drove up to a facility, guarded by several soldiers outside the door, and stopped the vehicle.
"Please show your ID."
The driver of the off-road vehicle was a second lieutenant and took out his documents for verification. Only then was he allowed to enter, and Li Qi saw that there were cameras and infrared scanners outside the door, obviously heavily guarded.
After the door outside was opened, there was a different world when I entered, inside was a very large room, with many unknown machines, and a team of soldiers in white coats took the initiative to greet them, and their eyes directly scanned Li Qi's body.
