Chapter Forty-Three: The Liar
When the door of the barracks opened in front of Garbo and Nataya, the two of them realized that the barracks was not as small as it looked from the outside, and that the part of the building that could be seen in this space could only be counted as a front room...
Because it hollows out a large part of the snow-capped mountain connected to it, the man-made structure in this part of the barracks is at most a passage to the cave.
"Welcome to Planet 53 of the Polar Belt, the 6th station of the Arden State Garrison... What you see now is another name here----- Federal Armored Academy, Polar Special Equipment Laboratory. ”
Lieutenant Asics, who was holding a thick cigar in his left hand, flipped his right hand on his chest, and then gave an elegant handout to the two people standing at the door in a daze.
"It's a pity that this place almost came to a standstill ten years ago, and the main person in charge of this project was suddenly transferred to the Laupa mining area, and until the invasion occurred, it was in a semi-deserted state, and those bugs were disgusted that the resources here were too poor, and they just destroyed the weapons here and evacuated"
The lights in the cave were lit from all sides to the center, and as the previously dark places were lit up one after another, Garbo and Nataya saw all sorts of half-finished large mechanical bodies, thrown everywhere like garbage.
Until the center of the cave was lit up, almost all the places were stacked with all kinds of polar special mechs that had almost never been seen outside.
"At that time, the Armored Academy had only completed one of the many simultaneous development machines--- the Lion Raider, which was the mythical polar special machine that was rumored to be outside, the Lynx."
As he said this, Asics bit the cigar in his left hand and took a hard puff, and the strong smoke swirled in his mouth and exhaled with a puff of turbidity.
When he talked about the mighty big cats just now, there was no trace of pride in his expression, but it gave Garbo and Nataya a feeling of deep resentment.
"It's...
When the lights in the center of the entire cave were also lit, Nataya couldn't help but cry out when she looked at the scene in front of her, she didn't care about Garbo and Asics around her, so she ran straight to the depths of the cave.
"She... What's going on? ”
Asics, who stuffed the cigar into his mouth again, looked at the figure of Nataya rushing into the cave, and asked Garbo beside him puzzled.
"Perhaps... Maybe I saw something important... ”
Garbo didn't know why Nana's reaction was so strong, but her instincts told her that something important must have been discovered by the girl.
"Well, kid, it's okay, someone over there will entertain her.
Now, tell me what you found this time.
Three days ago, our outpost sent back a message that those bugs had been mobilizing heavy troops for several days in a row, and I thought it was the main force of the Federation Army that had accidentally landed on Planet 53 that made them so close to the enemy.
So I ambushed near the Imperial camp almost every day with the most mobile armor, and in case things turned out to be my prediction, I could provide a little bit of support, after all, we were just a local garrison with little combat power... ”
Asics's eyes turned from Nataya's back, looked at Garbo beside him, and continued:
"Later, we found out that someone had attacked the Imperial Army camp!
When the explosion sounded, I thought my judgment was true, so I quickly led the group close to the camp, but the sentry turned the whole camp around a few times, and came back to tell me that I saw only one living person... ”
"Yes, it's just the two of us... The heavy troops you see are actually going to sweep our tribe's settlements, and my people have all died at their hands... ”
Garbo glanced at Asics and returned his gaze to Nataya's direction, where he saw the girl rushing to the middle of the cave and stopping.
"In other words, the two of you have made such a big move...
And according to our statistics in the past few days, we found that they have lost at least three brigades and many scorpion commanders, is this also what you did? ”
Asics was still staring at Garbo, as if he wanted to see some answer from the boy's face.
"It's not us, it's her... Here's the thing ... ”
Garbo saw Nataya's crouching, as if observing something on the ground, but at least sure that the girl would not be in any danger, and finally turned to face Asics and recounted what had happened the other day.
In the boy's mind, the enemy of his enemy is his friend, and of course he would not mention anything like Nana's spaceship that could magically disappear.
As the successor of the tribal patriarch who has always been unable to escape from the world, the most instilled truth since he was a child is to be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship.
As the two men began to talk, Nataya was deeply shocked by what she saw.
The circular square in the center of the cave looks so familiar, especially the texture of the ground, although it is not as complicated as what I saw in Alantuk, but this feeling is so intimate, it is almost the same as touching the cave where I saw the Demon God series mecha.
After carefully groping for these lines on the ground, Nataya got up and walked to the console next to the central platform, she didn't even look at the layout of the buttons on the console, she put her hand on it, and then touched it from left to right, and whispered while touching:
"Communication Forced Termination Button, Energy Mandatory Termination Button, Mental Synchronization Forced Termination Button, Armed System Forced Termination Button..."
There are no less than one!
Then the girl looked down, and sure enough, the markings under each button on the layout were no different from the console she remembered.
"Who are you ... Do you understand this? ”
Just as Nataya was carefully comparing the console buttons that were almost identical to those she remembered, a crisp voice rang out behind her.
The girl who heard the questioning stood up and looked back at the questioner standing behind her.
"I think I know the original owner of this lab...
Nataya calmly looked at the young girl in front of her, the almost same freckles and glasses, she couldn't help but think of Eevee...
"Hahahahaha!!
Can you tell a new story...
Brother, where did you recruit two liars? ”
Before Nataya's words were finished, the girl in front of her, who looked like she was at most fourteen or fifteen years old with two braids and narrow-rimmed glasses, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Over the years, there have been enough bugs, but I didn't expect there to be so many liars... Hahahaha! ”
