Chapter 56: The Breakthrough

Whoa! The tape attached to Gou Cao's mouth was forcibly torn off, and the rough force seemed to tear off Gou Cao's skin and flesh together, making him feel raw pain.

Then the harsh mouth was stuffed in, like vegetables and coarse rice, and other stiff mouths. Swallowing the intense discomfort caused by the strong smell of paint, Gou Cao chewed the stuffed stuff in his mouth a few times and swallowed it, letting the sharp and rough sensation in the food torment his throat. Then wait for the next spoonful of something that can barely be called food to be delivered.

That feels...... It's like being forced to deepthroat by an Autobot who has just been painted.

To be honest, Gou Ke's stomach is indeed a little hungry now, but when he is blindfolded and can't see food, Gou Cao is really a little worried about what he eats in his mouth. So Gou Ke tried to refuse at dinner yesterday, but in exchange for a violent beating.

In this case, Gou Cao had to accept this simple and rough feeding method. After all, now that he is a prisoner under the ranks of others, it would be good to be able to give him food, and what kind of bicycle do he need.

It's six o'clock in the morning. Sixteen hours ago, he was tied to the car by the corpse chasers who suddenly attacked, and the cloth covering Gou's eyes was never removed, and the rope on his body was tightly tied.

Despite repeated promises that he would remain silent, the tape from his mouth would only be torn off when he was fed in the rough way mentioned earlier. In this regard, Meng Jie complained about the corpse chasers during the meal, and the only advantage was that they would never let the captives starve, but as soon as he finished speaking, Gou Ke heard another sound of punching and kicking.

During these 16 hours, the convoy escorting Gou Ke and the other three people never stopped, eating, drinking, and lazing were all settled in the car. When the corpse chasers attacked, Gou Cao didn't know how they came here, and now that he was imprisoned by them, Gou Cao also didn't know where they were going.

Now he, Meng Jie, and Wu Zhe are being watched to death, and they don't know the future of life and death, so everything depends on watching Xiao Na.

The rover was on his way back from the airfield when the corpse chasers raided and were blown to pieces by a self-propelled anti-tank mine.

The cockpit was not heavily damaged due to the previous special reinforcements, Cortana's carrier computer was not damaged, and the two subspace storage devices that stored the supplies were able to work normally. But the other compartments were badly damaged, and the drive mechanism was also damaged. So Cortana stayed at the place where the mine exploded.

I don't know what the corpse chasers will do with them, but after all, we have to prepare for the worst. As the only breakthrough that could help Gou Cao escape, Gou Cao focused all his attention on Cortana.

Cortana can control the mechanical rat to collect the debris of the blown up car, but the task of repairing the car's hull is up to her. Because Cortana, as an artificial intelligence, is limited by the source code. You can't install prostheses or other similar structures on your own, and this restriction is very strict. Roaming, on the other hand, as a mechanical structure that can be controlled independently by Cortana, is also within this limitation. Therefore, the rover's modification and repair must be carried out under strict control.

Because of this, for the past sixteen hours, Gou Ke has been forcing himself to stay awake, using a neural communication device to remotely control and repair the rover's main structure with the rover's stored materials and the fragments collected by Cortana.

Sixteen hours later, before the corpse chasers force-fed Gou, Cortana collected all the fragments of the car, and Gorke managed to repair the rover's body and drive structure. While other modules and weapon systems, as well as other bits and pieces such as air conditioning and air filtration, will take more time to fix, Gou is sure that he has barely managed to get the rover back in a working state. But before it could be tested, Gou's harsh train of thought was interrupted by the routine feeding of the corpse chaser.

Swallowed the last bite of food under the force of the corpse chaser, and drank the paint-smelling liquid that had been brought to his mouth. After the tape was re-applied to his cheeks, Gou Ke once again focused his attention on Cortana: "Cortana, can you move??" ”

"That's it."

"Good, chase after me. The rest of the road is repaired as you go. ”

"Tell me where you are."

"Can't you track my location? Like tracking down someone on the phone? ”

"No, you can't. Theoretically not feasible. ”

“……”

Damn, that's in trouble. I subconsciously thought that Cortana would know where she was, but I never confirmed this with her, and I took it for granted. Gou Ke didn't have a strong sense of direction, but now he was tied up again, his eyes were blindfolded all the time, and he couldn't figure out in what direction he was going and at what speed. And I didn't have a chance to communicate with other people. So I couldn't be sure where I was being taken.

"Why don't I drive in the direction of the coordinates I deciphered earlier?"

"Why would you want to do that?"

"A woman's intuition."

"Okay." Gou Ke reluctantly agreed. It's not that he believes in a woman's intuition or something like that, but that the coordinates are originally in the north, and there is a high probability that it is in the same direction as the place where he was escorted. It's not an option to keep the rover where you are now, at least move a nest to get closer.

The problem of obtaining the current location is now unsolved, and Gou Cao can only focus on repairing the rover's other structures, and by the way, adding a layer of camouflage cloth to the rover.

Gou Cao's original plan was to repair the drive structure as soon as possible, add more powerful weapon systems to the rover's approach, and then find an opportunity to sneak up on the rescue before the current convoy escorting him arrived at its destination. Otherwise, when you get to the enemy's den, the chance of escaping is even smaller.

Now that this plan has come to naught, Gou Cao can only wait for the enemy's den to find another opportunity. It is impossible for this kind of strict defense posture to continue, and when we reach the destination, Gou Gao estimates that the guards may be a little more relaxed than now. And as long as there is a little freedom of action, there is no fear of not finding a breakthrough.
