Chapter Twenty-Three: Evacuation
"Hold on!"
Allen operated the glider, turned the auxiliary power to the maximum, and glided all the way to the experimental area.
By the time Nataya and Alan arrived at the central experimental area of the Star Ring, Eevee had already stepped out of the treatment module.
Deputy Captain Starck is loading various experimental instruments and mecha parts with the engineering staff.
"I said we were going to retreat, we were going to run for our lives, not to move!"
Alan, who watched all kinds of packing car scenes all the way to the control room, was angry at Stark.
"Captain, don't blame me... It's all what she insists on... Otherwise, she said she wouldn't go... ”
Eren looked at Eevee, who was sitting on the side expressionless, and noticed that Eevee had also turned his head to look at him.
"This is the work of Dr. Alain all his life... If you don't let me take it, bury me here. ”
The little girl with thick lenses quietly turned her head and continued to look at the busy workers.
"How many cars are there?"
Eren glanced at Eevee and turned to Stark.
"Four 50-ton carriers! Plus thirteen research and engineering staff! ”
Starck looked at the tactical information board.
"Just kidding, four 50-ton carrier vehicles, our spacecraft simply can't fit it! Even if we can fit it, we have a chance to drive four carrier vehicles from those bugs and missiles to the military port? ”
Eren shook his head and was about to continue his theory with Eevee, when Eevee pointed at Nataya.
"I've checked the nearest AF3108 airport terminal just now, and there's a Hercules there, it's hers."
"It's mine ... And I also left someone to look after the house, I just arrived yesterday! Supplies and fuel are full! And the warehouse is empty."
Nataya, who was pointed at by Eevee, nodded repeatedly.
"It's a pink Hercules...
Alan's expression stiffened a little.
Stark, who has been his deputy for more than a year, knows very well that although Alan looks a bit white and sissy, he is definitely a complete machismo.
They followed this pink Hercules until they arrived in Arantuk, and Alan was basically in a state of cultivation with his eyes closed, and he didn't want to look at this pink tough guy at all...
Probably in Allen's eyes, this spaceship is like a two-meter-two-five-tall muscular hunk in a pink bikini...
"Captain, time is pressing, you said it"
Stark looked at the loading situation, most of the experimental equipment and valuable mecha parts had been installed, and the evacuation team could set off immediately.
"Let's go... If it comes down, things will be even more troublesome, in case it is going to die and the net will be broken, and these things in our hands, whether they fall into the hands of the worms or the Empire, will not be able to withstand by the Federation. ”
After listening to Allen's words, Stark walked to a military hovercar at the forefront of the convoy,
"I'll get out of the way, and the rest of the team and staff will get into the truck!"
Alan took Eevee and Nataya to the second row of the cab of the last carrier, and the convoy slowly drove towards the gate of the experimental area in an orderly manner.
Looking at the slowly opening door, unlike when Nataya came in, this time it did not open only one opening for hovercars to pass through, but opened the whole thing.
"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~"
As soon as the door of the experimental area was opened, the people in the convoy saw five missile anti-aircraft towers in the distance violently spraying anger into the air.
This is the key defense area of the entire Al Antuk, and the insects can not set foot in except for the meat scraps.
"Follow me, five minutes, less than ten intersections, go!"
With the gates fully open, the convoy rushed out at full speed.
Due to the strong firepower network around the experimental area, the first five intersections were uneventful, and all the engines of the team increased their speed to the limit, and they sprinted towards the starport pier marked with the words AF3108 with all their might.
When the convoy reaches the position where there are only two last intersections from the pier,
A roar of "whoop" was heard, causing everyone to look to the right of the convoy, only to see a figure like a hill crashing into a civilian building and rushing to the side of the road.
"Damn! Hill beetle"
Both Alan and Nataya have seen this bug, especially Nataya.
If that bug rushes to the intersection ahead, then the entire convoy will be blocked by it.
Before the people in the convoy could react in horror, a group of three Viking fighters swooped down and transformed into a land combat state in the air, and sparks flew from the chitin shell of the large beetle hit by six fierce Vulcan machine guns.
"You guys go quickly, leave it to us here, this is General Max's order!"
The lead Viking mech roared loudly at the convoy through a megaphone, luring the beetle away in the opposite direction.
I saw that these three Viking fighters continued to surround this huge beetle, maintaining a high frequency of attacks, and at the same time luring it away to the battlefield together.
"Stark, speed up!" Alan said as he looked at the Viking mecha figure that had led the giant beetle away.
He knew very well in his heart that once the Viking mecha that had the advantage in the air landed, the weak attack power could not bring much damage to this huge beetle, but the sooner the convoy arrived at Starport, the sooner they could enter the air combat state and leave the big beetle, and their fate would change every second.
As they crossed the last street corner and entered the starport, everyone saw in the distance that the large beetle had bitten a Viking mech.
The convoy then entered the Star Harbor, obscured by the bright lights on the walls.
。。。
"Sister!! I watched the fireworks for a day and it was so handsome!! Yes!! You've brought so many people back!! ”
Now for Orlando, as long as the bugs are more than a hundred meters away from him, he will not feel the slightest fear.
Especially when he sees those bugs being attacked, it's his greatest pleasure, he used to watch the machine gun tower sweep zombies with a small bench in the Laupa administrative star, and he almost regarded this kind of battle as a game pastime...
It's just that when Dwarf Peeding stood in the door and looked at Alan, Eevee, Stark and Nataya, he was surprised how his sister, who had only been away for a day, had so many friends all at once.
"Go and open the warehouse, we'll talk about the rest later!"
"Okay~"
Dwarf Pee staggered to the console.
"Stark, you take them to drive the truck to the hold and reinforce it, and we'll prepare the route!"
After Allen arranged Stark, he walked to the control tower with Nataya and Ievee.
"Welcome back the owner, the self-inspection procedure is initiated, the fuel tank is replenished to 100 percent, the reserve fuel tank is 87 percent of the fuel available, and the remaining fresh food can be supplied for about 100 people for 45 days. After the self-test is complete, please enter your command. ”
Listening to this familiar AI voice, looking at Brother Salami beside her, a small sense of happiness quietly rose in Nataya's heart...
"Is this what it feels like to be home..."
Nataya, who often listens to e-novels, has a hard time understanding why she feels happy when she "goes home" in the story, and the previous "home" is just a prison cell.
"Give me the authority, Nana"
Alan shook his head helplessly when he found Nataya looking at him in a daze again.
"Authorize, authorize!"
Following Nataya's authorized instructions, the AI collected Allen's voiceprint and opened the star map according to Allen's instructions.
"Let's go from here, don't enter Kannada, your spaceship fuel is enough for us to enter the Char Star Zone, if you save a little bit, you can even go back to the Central Star directly. We've lost the Demon God, and we can't let anything happen to the Star Essence, and we must send it back to the Federation Headquarters as soon as possible. ”
Nataya looked at the route, pointing straight to Kannada, and then protruding from the asteroid belt into the crankshaft course.
After arriving in the Char system from the crankshaft route, it takes about half a month to sail through the Char system, and then you can start the crankshaft acceleration route and directly reach the vicinity of the central star.
"If you have no objections, we will set off, the voyage will be about fifty days, and the target will be the central star!"
Alan glanced left and right...
There were only two girls here, a three-year-old dwarf bean with a hala.
He suddenly felt that his sentence of no objection was a bit redundant.
"Listen to you! Brother Salami! ”
Nataya pulled the expressionless Eevee with her hand and said to Alan.
"Salami or something... Never mind...
We'll talk about it again on the way ...
Starkey, is the cargo hold fixed completed? ”
"Captain, it's all done, ready to go!"
"Let's go, the route is set up, execute!"
After Allen's order was given, the pink Hercules sparked blue and white sparks from the engine and slowly flew towards the exit of the star port.
