XVI. Abandoned bases

When the abandoned base appeared on the horizon, Spock's heart swelled. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Although it was the first time I saw this base, when I thought of the difficult years that my grandmother and grandfather spent in this base, my father and mother were born not long after I escaped from this base.

The dilapidated and collapsed airport is almost impossible to see in its original appearance. As far as Spock knows, the lower half of the base has also been swallowed up by magma, so it is conceivable that the place to go is the middle of the original base.

As expected, when they came to the base and parked the car, Rick said in the direction of the halfway up the mountain, "There's a chasm on the mountainside, and from there we can enter the base." Since I'm not good at combat, I'll return control of the mech to Xiaoshu once I'm at the base, and he'll show you the way. ”

Spock said: "Grandpa, in fact, I have always had a question, Xiaoshu is a combat robot of the Hatu Star people, why would he help us?" And you still trust him so much? ”

Rick let out a laugh, though he couldn't have the same expression, "Because we're friends." Xiaoshu has the same human feelings as me, which is probably something that the people who made him did not expect. He didn't want to be treated as a dispensable tool by the Hatu people anymore, but treated him as an equal as a real person. Besides, it was the Hatu people who betrayed them and wanted to destroy them all, not the little tree who took the initiative to betray their master. ”

Spock shook his head and smiled, "It seems that Grandpa, you really didn't instill in him the concept of human beings." ”

The three of them climbed up the mountainside alternately, and sure enough, there was a big crack there, and it was easy to walk in from here.

"Hello, I'm Xiaoshu, first time we met."

Although the voice was exactly the same, Spock could sense the obvious difference between him and his grandfather, so he said, "The rest of the matter will be up to you." Can your detection system scan the inside of this base? ”

"Yes, but if you do this, you will be aware of the other party's position and will be discovered by the other party, which may not be beneficial to us."

Spock nodded: "Then we have to sneak in and reconnoiter little by little, and once we find out, we will immediately send a report to Colonel Gand." ”

"I don't advise you to do that, sir." Xiaoshu said: "As soon as you send a report, our location will be exposed." At the moment I have less than two percent of my energy left, and at this level of energy I can only provide you with maximum fire support for a minute at most, and if there are a lot of enemy troops in the base, you will all be killed before the reinforcements arrive. So I suggest you wait until I'm done charging before starting the search, so I can provide enough protection even if I start fighting. My energy field can neutralize a fair amount of attacks, and there are no shooting blind spots, which I have an advantage in. ”

"Your Excellency, Xiaoshu has a point, since we have been missing for so long, it doesn't hurt to disappear even a little longer." Natasha suggested, then asked the tree, "How much time will it take you to recharge?" ”

"About an hour, but only if you don't get noticed by the other side, so I hope you can distract possible patrols while I recharge."

"Won't they notice you connecting the energy lines?" Spock asked.

"No, we're going to a secondary supply point, not part of the main control system, and it won't be noticeable unless they've repaired the entire base's energy supply network."

Spock nodded and let the little tree lead the way.

At the beginning, the road was completely an ordinary cave, and after walking a distance of about forty or fifty meters, the scene in front of me changed, and the internal structure of the all-metal base came into view. It seems that the base has indeed been badly damaged, and although the metal material of the Hatu Star is extremely malleable, it is inevitable that it will be mottled holes, and it is precisely because of this that the three of Spock and his party can enter the base through the rift.

"Go this way." The little tree's voice suddenly became much softer, though it still sounded louder to Spock.

After walking about sixty meters, the small tree opened a door with the light emitted from the canopy, revealing a small room.

The room was only thirty square meters of space at most, and contained only one operating panel other than a dilapidated (at the level of Galactic Federation's machinery) energy storage container. Xiao Shu fiddled with the light on the operation panel a few times, then walked over to the connector and sat down: "I can't help for the next hour, if possible, please try not to leave this room, they shouldn't find it easily." ”

As the little tree began to replenish energy, the room suddenly fell silent. Natasha sat quietly in the deepest part of the room, picked the best shooting position, pulled out her ray gun and aimed it at the door. Spock used the observation hole in the room to look outside, and although the observation hole was very limited, he still wanted to know as much as he could about the inside of the base.

"Your Excellency, you better hide there, from where you can form a crossfire with me." Natasha suggested softly.

Spock smiled bitterly and said, "Major, if we are really discovered, then people will not attack us at all and wipe us out." It's better to check if our transmitter is working properly. ”

"You're calling me Major again." Natasha pouted.

Spock smiled, "Don't you call me Your Excellency too?" It seems that it will take time for us to get used to the new name. ”

"It's a pity we don't necessarily have time to get used to it, if we confirm the presence of Hatu people in the base." Natasha sighed faintly.

"Don't be so discouraged, if Colonel Gander moves fast enough, we might have a chance to get out of this base."

"But we don't know anything about the hidden spy so far, and I'm worried that if that spy has direct access to the highest level of intelligence, will he deliberately delay the transmission of this information?" Natasha said.

Spock also frowned: "It's indeed possible." If that's the case, then there's a spy in the Special Intelligence Unit or the Chief of Intelligence, and let's pray that's not the case, Natasha. ”

Natasha smiled, "I hope so, our luck has always been good." Spock. ”
