Episode 223: Encounter with a Capricorn
Kai Ruote and Xiao Li walked down the passage and found the central control hall, and saw that the equipment in the room was intact and did not seem to be damaged.
Kerote walked to the center console and activated the center console switch with his hand loop. The screen wall immediately shows the location of each room, and the role of each room is marked, including a rest room, a food store, and a spare weapons store, and a small spare multi-armed mech is parked at the entrance and exit of the passage, which can be activated at any time to escape. After seeing this, Kai Ruote said happily: "With these equipment, we are a little more sure of breaking into the Capricorn base." ”
They followed the map on the screen to find the spare arsenal. The two quickly put on their combat uniforms and put on their helmets. Xiaoli had missiles all over her waist, and like Kairoth, she chose a heavy laser gun and a laser pistol.
This outfit of theirs is a replica of the Martian Task Force. In order to bring more weapons and food, they didn't ask for any more, and hurried to the spare armed mech.
Kairote opened the mech's hatch, only to find a person sitting motionless in the cockpit. The Martian officer has been dead in the cockpit for some time, and the body is not broken due to the extremely cold weather in the Arctic. Kairote stepped forward to look at the wound on his chest and said, "He fled here after being shot in the chest, and died before he could activate the mech due to his injuries." ”
Khairote gave the dead officer a military salute, then placed him in a lounge, bowed to the officer, and said, "Rest here for the time being, and if we can come here again, I will surely bury you well." ”
After placing the officers, they returned to the mech cockpit and activated the mech. As the mech activated, the mech's upward escape door automatically opened, and the mech took off from the base, hovering over the Arctic base.
They looked out through the mech's window. Below them is the tall and majestic Arctic pyramid, which makes people sigh at the level of technological development of the Martians, adding a beautiful scenery to this uninhabited and cold Arctic.
It was noon, and the North Pole in the polar night was a black hole in the sky except for that glimmer of light. It was that glimmer of hope that could give people hope that it didn't last long in the air and disappeared. Looking at the cold and high sky and the breathtaking pyramids, Xiaoli complained, "I don't understand, these Homo sapiens always like to build their bases in such a ghost place where birds don't." And fight to the death for this place. ”
Kai Ruote told Xiaoli: "The north and south poles of the earth are extremely important strategic places, and they are also the most special places for the magnetic field. ”
After finishing speaking, suddenly the horizon in the distance suddenly brightened - "Look, this North Pole is beautiful!" Kairote said excitedly, pointing to the sky.
"Northern Lights!" Xiaoli couldn't help but scream after looking in the direction pointed by Kairuot.
In front of their eyes, dozens of dark green bands of light in the dark night sky suddenly erupted from the clouds, forming a light yellow bordered cloud band in an instant, and then the whole sky was colorful, this wonderful Northern Lights did not last long, and all kinds of light bands gradually dissolved into the darkness, which was very dreamlike and reverie.
After the Northern Lights, the whole sky fell into darkness again, and they followed the guidance of the navigation to land the mecha on a high ground in the North Pole. They were looking for the Capricorns' North Pole base, which was nearby, based on the navigation display.
Soon, the two entered a field of floating ice.
The weather in the Arctic can change as it goes, and the night, which was still very quiet just now, suddenly became very windy and blizzards raged.
The wind was howling and sweeping through the snow, and it was difficult for them to move forward without the protection of this mech.
The Xiaoice blocks moving under their feet, under the raging storm, collided with each other and burst into terrible crashing sounds, stirring up terrifying waves, and from time to time ice cubes were smashed into pieces.
Their mechs were jumping forward on large blocks of ice in this bad weather, Kerot said; "Navigation shows that this base is just below this block of ice. I feel that this is all around with broken ice, unlike other places, and there shouldn't be broken ice this season, it's man-made. ”
Xiaoli looked at the violent snowstorm outside the window and said, "My feeling should be around here." In such an extremely cold weather, I am afraid that no one will appear, and even the machine will not dare to stay outside for a long time. ”
As he spoke, a humanoid mecha emerged from the crushed ice. Seeing Kairoth's mecha, he attacked first, and a series of lasers hit, in a vain attempt to catch them off guard.
Keroth's mech quickly fell to the ground, dodging the attack and returning fire. Two mechs fight in the skies above the North Pole.
Although Kai Ruote's small mecha is flexible, it is much worse in terms of weapons and equipment, and in more than a dozen rounds, although the opponent has been hit by several bullets, they are all slightly injured, and they can't help the opponent's mecha. Kerot knew that if he continued to consume like this, he would definitely not be the opponent of the other party. So he quickly transformed into a small submarine and plunged into the sea, and the enemy mecha also dived to the bottom of the sea.
Although Kairoth's submarine was small, it was quite agile and fast in traversing reefs at the bottom of the sea, leaving the mechs that followed behind far behind, and it was impossible to catch up. Then they quietly parked the submarine in a deep trench, turned off its engines, and waited to see what happened.
The enemy mecha searched for a while at the bottom of the sea, unable to find Kairoth's submarine, and the unwilling duck flew away, and turned on the strongest radar to detect in all directions, but found nothing. After waiting quietly in place for more than an hour, he did not find the small submarine, so he had to move closer to the perimeter of the base. The mech quickly turned back into a humanoid mech, and stood majestically at the gate of the base like a tall armored warrior.
Kairote and Xiaoli decided to abandon the current mecha, they were afraid that once this small submarine floated in the trench, it would be detected by the opponent's powerful radar, and the base and the enemy mecha would be attacked from both sides, and they would never be able to get out. After all, this trench is not far from the Capricorn base, and they quietly swim over it to surprise the other party, and it is even more difficult to be discovered by the other party, and it is relatively safer.
They opened the hatch of the mech, swam out of the deep trench, and gradually approached the Capricorn North Pole base along the undercurrent. As they approached the base, they found the mechs that were chasing them standing silently near the base. Kerot gestured with his hand to lean over the mech.
