When the whole team left the northwest base, Yin Sen played a little trick.

Instead of flying directly to the new Beijing base, the two heavy transport planes turned in the air and flew to another city not far from the northwest base. It was occupied by zombies as early as the outbreak of the virus, and is now also a hunting area where the murderous corpses are entrenched. However, the airport is far from the city, and there are not many survivors. It is not difficult to punish the strength of the troops and stay there for a few days for a short time.

Helicopter squadrons escorted the perimeter as usual. On the order of Yin Sen, a helicopter left the brigade on the way and landed in the ruins of a small town more than twenty kilometers from the northwestern base.

Two days ago, Yin Sen sent technicians to set up a signal relay station here. The helicopter carried three elite soldiers. From here, they will return to the north-western base on foot in camouflage.

Has the Northwest base really been abandoned by those rebels?

This has always been the biggest question that haunts Yin Sen's mind.

The punitive forces searched extremely carefully and did not spare a single corner of the northwest base. Sadly, no live animals have been found here other than rats.

Although they didn't dig three feet into the ground, the search of the punitive forces was no different from digging three feet———— they used very advanced life detectors. This thing can detect all living waves within a radius of 500 meters underground. In other words, even if the rebels were to hide underground, as long as they were operating within this range, the punitive forces would still be able to find their location.

However, the range of the Life Probe can only be at this distance. Unlike surface exploration, subsurface exploration has too many constraints that hinder the detection of radio waves. Technicians were helpless against the closed gates. They have said that if they want to reopen these gates, they simply cannot use electronic signals from the outside. It can only be forcibly excavated using the most primitive methods and with large tunnelling machinery.

Or blow up.

The order received by Yin Sen did not include the complete destruction of the Northwest Base. He didn't know if it was stored on it and wanted to seal it for the time being, and then find an opportunity to start it again in an engineering way in the future? What's more, even if they want to blow up, they don't have so many explosives, and they don't have the right to use strategic weapons such as nuclear bombs. Besides, even if the Northwest Base is really blown up with a nuclear bomb, only the ground facilities will be destroyed, and the underground part will still be intact.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the rebels to abandon the northwestern base. There are so many things to leave behind: automated farms, food processing workshops, weapons manufacturing systems, energy supply and water purification recycling equipment...... Although the facilities were damaged, technicians said it was not difficult to repair. Just replace the parts and get the solar farm running again, and it will be restored in no time.

Will those rebels hide underground?

It was with this question in mind that Yin Sen arranged for three elite soldiers to quietly return to the northwest base and lurk in the dark to observe.

It's just that Yin Sen never dreamed that all this he arranged fell into Liu Tianming's eyes.

……

To the south, next to a forest more than fifty kilometers from the northwest base, Liu Tianming and Liao Qiu sat in the huge helicopter cabin, staring at a small LCD screen placed on the controller.

The palm-sized screen is very exquisite, and Liu Tianming used his fingers to expand the picture on the touch screen, and immediately showed three figures shot from a high altitude. If Yin Sen was present, he would definitely be dumbfounded to find out that it was the three soldiers who had arranged for him to sneak into the northwest base to observe secretly.

Liao Qiu sat in the cockpit master's seat, his young face full of smug expressions: "Boss, I'm not wrong!" This thing can be connected to satellites and see everything you want. ”

His tone was unabashedly proud, as well as confident.

Liao Qiu does have proud capital.

In terms of combat ability, he is at the bottom of the entire team, and he is not even as good as those who have been promoted from the followers of the team and have just been injected with immunity drugs not long ago.

This is not nonsense, Liao Qiu's combat ability is very bad. In terms of strength, his current level is at most equivalent to the third stage of the juvenile body, or even weaker. Looking at the entire team, any core member is enough to abuse Liao Qiu into slag with his fists.

The proportion of mutant infections produced between infected individuals is very low. Maybe it's because of Liu Tianming, all the core members of the team have abilities. This is simply unthinkable to a normal infected person.

Liao Qiu's ability is "Mechanical Control". He has become more and more aware of this. He never understood why he had activated the ring of "Flowing Rippled Liquid" in the Mind Space Ability Pattern. However, judging from the evolution of the ability he currently has, Liao Qiu has undoubtedly obtained a very rare logistical support ability.

The words "very rare" are not nonsense. With the continuous improvement of the evolutionary level, Liu Tianming also has a deeper understanding of the relationship between infected bodies and mutant cells. A lot of information that I didn't know before came to mind. Just like many sealed archives, the "key" to decryption can only be obtained through step-by-step evolution.

Before the outbreak of the virus, Liu Tianming had dealt with a mysterious person he had never met through the Internet and knew some things about the infected body. It was like an inspiration for the ignorant, and at the same time it opened up Liu Tianming's information understanding of the special group of "infected bodies".

In the entire team, except for Liao Qiu, no second type of logistics assistance was found.

This means that the probability of the emergence of logistical auxiliary infections is really low. If this probability is further expanded and put at the level of the entire infected body, it is estimated that the probability of occurrence is almost negligible.

Liao Qiu's ability is accidental. Liu Tianming has talked to him about this issue more than once, thinking that if he hadn't met Zhang Mei at the Xichang Satellite Launch Base that time, and was forced by her to memorize a lot of aerospace knowledge in just a few hours, I am afraid that Liao Qiu would only have combat skills with other core members of the team, rather than logistics support skills.

After enjoying the flesh and blood feast of Yin Hao and others in the northwest base, Liao Qiu successfully evolved to the third stage of the primordial body.

His connection with the "Tiangong" space station has become closer, and he can also control it directly from the ground and turn on some of the mechanical equipment of the "Tiangong".

This is an extremely difficult process———— the distance between the ground and space is simply too far. The ability of the mutant cell to control the machinery gradually diminishes with the long obstacle. Apart from constantly evolving to change this situation, Liao Qiu has no second way.

Despite this, Liao Qiu still feels lucky: if there is no Zhang Mei, if he does not achieve the carrier rocket to arrive at the "Heavenly Palace" and leave his own biological information there, even if he evolves to a higher level, a stable body, or even a mature body and an evolved body, it is impossible to stand on the ground and conduct remote control of the space station.

The first mechanical equipment to be unlocked from the Tiangong space station is a long-range communication system and an image processing system.

Liao Qiu had always wanted to use the weapon system on board the space station, but he was unable to generate enough clear biological commands for it. Again, the old problem———— is too far away for the biological signals that remain on the space station to respond to the controllers. Because this is different from communication or remote observation, it requires more complex positioning and procedures. To achieve that level, Liao Qiu needs to supplement more biological nutrients.

Even remote communication and filming are also very difficult for Liao Qiu at present. He could not control the space station to change orbit, so he could only fix it in a position corresponding to the northwest base and monitor this fixed point.

In Liu Tianming's opinion, this is enough.

For now, of course.

The Northwest base must not be abandoned. This is the logistical supply point for the entire team and a stable rear for the team in the event of an invincible and powerful opponent.

The three lurkers arranged by Yin Sen were destined to gain nothing. Looking at the three sneaky figures on the small screen, the corners of Liu Tianming's mouth curled, revealing a hint of sarcastic ridicule.

Tian Guangyao took Huang He and Li Jiexin and hid in the deepest part of the base. It is located two kilometers below the surface, and a fixed pipeline is the only way to get there. Of course, it is also possible to use large tunnelling machines to excavate additional passages. But judging from the current situation, Yin Sen's punitive forces simply can't do this.

According to the predetermined plan, Tian Guangyao and the others will always hide there, and the time will not be less than half a year. They have a sufficient amount of food stocked and drinking water to meet their consumption. After the energy supply system of the site is converted from solar energy to geothermal, the air circulation system will not stop running. They were safe there, with plenty of time to wait for Li Jiexin to give birth to the baby, and for those people in New Beijing to forget what had happened here.

The ability of a technician determines their specific view of the same thing.

Liao Qiu actually did not destroy all the ground equipment of the northwest base. Especially automated farms and weapons production workshops. Of course, they appear to be badly damaged on the surface and have ceased to function. But in fact, as long as Liao Qiu returned to that point, re-entered the new program instructions, and used the ability to repair the misplaced parts, everything could be restored to its original state in just half an hour.

Starting the engine, the helicopter propeller began to turn.

The modified aircraft has been transformed beyond recognition. In particular, the duckbill nose was heavily armored by Liao Qiu, and the huge cabin could accommodate a large amount of cargo. For combat reasons, even weapons systems with ferocious firepower were installed.

Liao Qiu felt that he had found the right path of evolution.

I'm a mechanical engineer, the best of the best.
