Chapter 42: Identity
"These damn bugs have finally given us a moment to introduce ourselves!
Hello, I am the local garrison of Planet 53 of the Polar Star Belt, the chief instructor of the mechanical armored brigade: Asics, under the jurisdiction of the 7th Marine Corps of the Federal Army.
Judging by your clothes and skills, are you an aborigine? “
Garbo, who had just fled to almost collapse, almost fell off the back of the big cat when he received this encrypted channel message. . .
The words Federation Army had not been heard for at least two years, and if he hadn't seen these legendary equipment with his own eyes, it would have been really hard for him to believe that there was still a force with the words Federation Army on Planet 53.
"Yes, Aborigines, my name is Garbo, you ... How did you manage to save so much of the Polar Machine?"
Originally, I thought that this unit should be a guerrilla organization composed of a very small number of remnants of the Federation, after all, not everyone is willing to be used as an experiment to make a disgusting thing like a wormman, so in the polar belt, there are many small-scale resistance groups.
But the hundreds of mimic war mecha that crawled out of the snow just now really shocked Garbo.
Not to mention the size of this unit, what the boy didn't expect the most was that today, after more than four years of war, one of the most remote planets in the polar belt, he can still see such a large and well-preserved polar mecha.
"It's better than being bare-handed, isn't it..."
After a long time, after this reply came from the encrypted channel, both ASICS and Garbo fell silent.
Since these big cat-like mimicry mechs and vulture chariots are highly motorized machines that move extremely fast, this unit has always maintained a very fast marching speed.
But even so, Garbo could clearly feel that the big cat under him always maintained a cautious attitude, leading the entire army to constantly circumvent the rocks.
I don't know how long it has been, but Garbo, who has been accustomed to seeing rocks and snow-capped mountains, suddenly opened up in front of her, and a dilapidated federal military camp that had obviously been destroyed by the war appeared in front of her.
"Planet Fifty-Three, Arden Garrison, Team 06...
Looking at the sign at the valley pass that was half covered in snow and ice, Garbo couldn't help but read it.
"They will go back first, you were brought back by me, and I will be responsible for your identity verification, come down first"
Watching the group leave, Garbo probably understood in his heart that this was not where their headquarters ------, and the location where he and Nana were now might be the camp of their previous unit, or it could just be a transit station set up by them deliberately throwing smoke bombs.
Seeing the stopped Bobcat mechanical body and the soldiers who had been waiting on the ground for a long time, their faces full of vigilance, wearing standard Federation uniforms, Garbo was not too worried.
Without this rigor and care, Garbo would have wondered how such a unit could survive in a semi-enemy zone to this day.
After jumping off the bobcat with Nana on his back, the giant feline mechanical cockpit opened, and a man dressed in the standard white uniform of the Polar Star Belt Federation garrison jumped out of the bobcat, walked up to Garbo, and held out his right hand.
"We introduced each other just now, I'm Asics, hello Garbo, you guys did so beautifully, those turtle grandsons were burned by you for more than an hour!
Let's talk about the battle record, how many people have killed them? By the way, which one do you belong to? Why didn't your comrades see any of them, we only found the two of you... ”
This tall man looks extremely strong, his age looks about forty years old, and the most impressive thing is that on his forehead, there is a scar similar to a forehead mark, which is a finger wide, Garbo knows that this scar must have been deliberately left by him, because at the moment when medical treatment is extremely developed, the nano-scale cell repair machine is enough to make this terrible scar disappear completely.
Garbo glanced at the man's epaulettes, raised his left hand, and took it back with a light dip on Asics' hand.
Because of the girl still on his back, he just wanted to find a place to settle down at the moment and check if the girl was still in any condition.
"Lieutenant Asics, can you arrange a room for me before we start telling the story? She... ”
The boy smiled helplessly, when he ran for his life before, he didn't feel much about carrying a person on his back, but when the secretion of adrenaline gradually decreased with the arrival of a sense of security, the strength in his body seemed to be taken away, and his body was weak.
"Ah, yes, yes, you've been running away with your bodies ... The guards, first helped the girls down and took them to the quarantine area to prepare for blood drawing. ”
"What kind of blood is drawn?"
Garbo, who was just about to hand over the girl to the guards beside her, suddenly exploded like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, snatched the girl back again, and hugged her tightly in her arms.
“。。。 The Federation's interstellar network has been down for more than two years, and we now spend most of our time gathering and transmitting information by hacking into the network of the Imperial Army.
Later, the Empire guys also discovered this, so they would often send spies to various star sectors, deliberately using the Empire's network to infiltrate identities and wipe out more resistance groups.
We, naturally, have also suffered this kind of loss... Fortunately, the polar belt was originally one of the federal government's data backup centers, and there is also a backup room for population information on planet 53, plus we... For some reason, there is very little contact with the outside world, and all the base personnel have also carried out NDA comparisons, so that they can be completely preserved to this day... ”
Lieutenant Asics looked at the nervous Garbo and couldn't help but smile, and then pulled out a small box from his armed belt.
"You see, the blood is drawn just to be more accurate, but you are the heroes I saw with my own eyes, who killed those guys' hometowns!
So all you need to do is give me a hair, and I'll put it inside this gadget, and I'll arrange for someone to go to the backup center for comparison, but it will take a little longer.
As long as your information is correct, you can come to the base with us right away, and before that, you may have to stay here for two or three days until my men come back.
After all, such a thing as long-distance wireless communication has never belonged to the polar star belt. ”
Asics shrugged his shoulders with a smile, pointed to the ionization storm in the sky, tossed the small box to Garbo, and walked to a barracks that looked fairly intact.
Garbo took the box and looked at it repeatedly for a long time, thinking that if blood was not taken, it would not be possible to poison or inject something that could induce DNA mutation with a few hairs, and it should be safer.
After all, in this region, in this era, all caution is very necessary.
Garbo plucked a short silver-gray hair from her head, and then pulled a long black hair from the head of the girl in her arms.
"Ahh It hurts... ”
Just as Garbo was about to put the two strands of hair together, Nataya, who was lying in his arms, let out a soft groan.
"Are you awake? It's okay to take you! ”
Seeing that this girl was okay, Garbo couldn't help but be extremely excited, after all, this is the only person who can bring him a sense of security and save his life in this world so far.
If the Chosen One still hasn't returned, then the girl in front of her is likely to be the only savior of mankind.
"I seem to have had a long dream... Where are we? Weren't we scouting the Imperial barracks just now? ”
Nataya touched her head as she looked at Garbo, who had put her hair in a small box, and looked at the boy with confused eyes.
"Hahahaha... It's a long story ... Let's go, there's another person waiting to hear inside! ”
Seeing the girl's clear eyes, Garbo threw the box containing the hair of the two to the guards who had been waiting on the side, grabbed the girl's hand, and walked towards the barracks that Asics had just entered.
