Chapter Forty-Eight: Alien Diffusion
87_87057 After a day and a night, the five Bai Qi people passed through the jungle for dozens of kilometers and came to the inner ring bombing belt.
Everyone stopped, puzzled, and carefully observed this scorched earth belt that had been deliberately bombed by humans.
At this time, a full month has passed since the bombing, and the scorched earth zone has changed a lot, and the humid and warm environment of the tropical rainforest has allowed the vegetation here to grow extremely fast, and the scorched earth ground has been covered with a thin layer of green.
Other than that, you don't see anything special.
Just when everyone was puzzled, dozens of meters away from them, there was a sudden crackling sound of an electric arc piercing through the air, and everyone suddenly looked back, and in the flash of lightning, a huge metal object with a rough and hideous appearance suddenly appeared.
It is a metal creature that resembles a giant spider.
The metal creature's torso, shaped like a spider's belly, was approximately cylindrical, more than thirty meters in diameter, and a hatch opened on the side wall, and at the door, several Predators appeared with the ship.
An extraordinarily tall Predator walked towards Bai Qi with a helmet, and Bai Qi also took off his helmet.
The Predator came to Bai Qi, reached out and clenched his fist and slapped his chest, saying, "Brave human, we meet again." β
Bai Qi recognized from the spots on the other party's face that he was the Predator leader who had given him the gene tracker that day.
Bai Qi returned a military salute and said, "Thank you for giving me the gene tracker, otherwise I would have already become an alien incubator." β
The Predator nodded slightly, then leaned sideways and said, "Follow me." With that, he walked towards the hatch.
Bai Qi and the others followed the Predator into the hatch, through a section of corridor, and came to a small cabin.
Just as the mad wolf had seen that day, there were many things on a platform in the center of the cabin, including battle armor, weapons, and some miscellaneous things, and Bai Qi even noticed something that looked like a disc.
When the Predator who brought them in introduced them to all the things, except for Huang Mao, who was still frowning at those white items, Bai Qi, Qin Qing, Adrian, and Heinrich all looked at the disc.
Adrian remembered that Bai Qi had said that the solution to the problem was probably here in the Predator, and he couldn't help but admire it even more, obviously, this CD-ROM that recorded technical information such as gene trackers and acid-proof materials was the key to solving the problem.
Almost in unison, Bai Qi and Adrian said, "We want to change this disc!" β
Hearing the two say this, the Predator's mouthparts that brought them in trembled slightly, and judging by the light in his eyes, he seemed to be smiling, and seemed to appreciate Bai Qi and Adrian's choice.
After the exchange was successful, Bai Qi and the others heard the system prompt that the "Predator's Dishonor" mission had been completed.
After that, they received a new mission, "Predator's Glory".
Challenge Mission "Predator's Glory": Capture the Predator's Mothership, Deaigu.
Description: The Predator Alien Queen entrenched in the Predator Mothership was hatched from the body of the Predator Royal Warrior, and the carapace on its body was an excellent material for making ZuΓ²'s top-level armor, so the Predator was willing to pay a big price in exchange for these carapaces. If you can give the Predator the Predator's tail spike or any of the skulls, the Predator will even add an invisibility device to your Warframe.
This task made everyone's mouth water.
Everyone left the iron-blooded spaceship and watched it take off into the air, disappearing without a trace after a burst of arc in the air more than ten meters in the air.
After getting the CD, everyone rushed to the Nielsen base at full speed.
In fact, Bai Qi wants to hand over this disc to the Chinese in the Kogarym base in the south, first, he himself is Chinese, naturally hopes that the benefits can fall into his own hands, although this is not the real world, he still can't help but think so, second, he believes that after he hands over this disc, other rewards dare not say, a lot of prestige is absolutely indispensable, in this way, he can change the base, maybe he can get rid of the tracking of the wolf.
However, considering that the Americans are the most technologically advanced, the speed of digesting these materials must be the fastest, and at this time, if they digest these materials one day earlier, fewer people will be reduced to alien incubators, Bai Qi really can't bear to let countless innocent civilians die so miserably because of his selfishness.
Back at the base, Bai Qi immediately found Major Miller, handed him the CD, and told him the source of the CD and the contents of the CD.
Major Miller, despite his suspicion of their words, took them to the top charge of the base, Major General Wilson.
Major General Wilson didn't believe their claims either, but since the war involved aliens, he brought in experts from the base to track and observe the use of the exoskeleton mecha's acid-proof design.
The doctor named Jones saw that it was obviously just an ordinary disc, and obviously did not believe that it came from aliens, but when he put the disc into the computer and opened the contents, his face quickly became very stern.
Finally, Dr. Jones carefully took out the CD and told Major General SΓΉ Wilson that although he could not be sure whether the contents of the CD were as Bai Qi had claimed, the contents did involve very sophisticated materialological knowledge, and Major General Jianyi sent the CD to a special research institute for further analysis.
When Major General Wilson heard what Dr. Jones said, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent a helicopter to send the disc to Colombia with Bai Qi and them.
On the helicopter, Bai Qi confirmed his concerns from Captain Blair, who was escorting the disc.
During this time, hundreds of ordinary aliens and iron-blooded aliens passed through the outer ring encirclement and entered the vast rainforest, and those who fled disappeared without a trace.
This has never happened before.
In the past, Xenomorphs would also attack human encirclements, but their purpose was to capture human soldiers, and they never seemed interested in entering the outside world.
It is precisely for this reason that mankind underestimated the intelligence of the alien and did not make up its mind to use nuclear weapons.
Bai Qi guessed that the reason why the aliens were not interested in spreading the population in the past may have been mainly aimed at the Predators, who didn't care too much about weak humans, and the ordinary aliens hatched by humans were too weak for the Predators, and they were simply vulnerable under the Predator's energy cannon.
However, the recent large-scale hunting of iron-blooded aliens by space soldiers may have aroused the vigilance of aliens, who regard humans as real enemies and take them seriously, and the strength of space soldiers may also cause aliens who want to plunder genes for the purpose of survival to be really interested in humans.
The helicopter landed at the airport of the Colombian capital, and Bai Qi and the others were immediately put on a military transport plane.
When the plane landed, it was already within the United States.
The door of the plane opened, and a modified minibus had stopped outside the door, and several scientific researchers in white coats took the suitcase containing the CD from Captain Blair, who was in charge of escorting it, jumped into the bus, and sped away.
A black U.S. military officer with the rank of lieutenant handed over to Captain Blair, and took them to a military Humvee with Bai Qi.
Captain Blair completed his mission and boarded the plane again.
As he drove, the black lieutenant introduced: "My name is Martin, and during this time, I will arrange your daily life, and if you have any requirements, please tell me." β
Bai Qi thought for a moment and asked, "I want to know where I am now?" β
Lieutenant Martin seemed a little surprised, but he didn't ask much, and said, "This is the U.S. Yondel Air Force Base in Florida. β
Bai Qi asked again, "Do we have to stay in the base?" How long do we have to wait? β
Lieutenant Martin shrugged, "I think so, you must stay at the base until I receive a new order, and as for how long, please forgive me for not receiving the relevant order." β
Bai Qi nodded and didn't ask any more.
Lieutenant Martin led them to a rather large camp.
Walking into the camp gate, there is an empty hall with a full range of fitness equipment, and even a boxing ring and a small basketball court, and many barracks for soldiers on both sides of the hall.
The conditions here are not like a military camp, but like a health club, which should not be the station of ordinary troops.
Martin pointed to a barracks on the left side of the tent and told them that this was their station from this day forward.
The barracks was nearly forty square meters in size, but with only six bunk beds, it was very spacious, and there was a communal bathroom at the back of the barracks.
Bai Qi nodded to Lieutenant Martin, he was not going to protest against the military's arrangements for them, it was pointless.
Soon after Martin left, two American soldiers stood guard at the barracks gate.
Bai Qi and the others returned to the base, did not dare to delay, and immediately handed over the CD. It has been more than half a month since the last break. In the humid and sultry tropical rainforest, they didn't take a bath for half a month, and the three of them were already stinking, but fortunately there were battle armor in the way, otherwise I don't know what those American soldiers would think of them.
Even Bai Qi couldn't bear such a situation, let alone the two women, Qin Qing and Adrian.
After Lieutenant Martin left, Qin Qing and the others rushed into the bathroom.
After more than an hour, Qin Qing walked out of the bathroom, and she had already changed into a clean combat uniform.
Qin Qing's expression was a little strange, she came to Bai Qi's side and said to him softly, "You have eyes." β
Bai Qi was wondering when a tall, angry, and beautiful blonde woman walked out of the bathroom
