Chapter Sixty-Nine: Infiltrating the Rock Castle
Half a day later, the group came to the periphery of the rock fort.
"There is the rock fort in front, and the eleventh will stay outside to answer it, and I will take you in." Getting off the airmobile, Number One said, "Although I follow your orders, I hope you will do what I say before we get to the cell where the hostages are being held." ”
Yang Yi nodded first in agreement, and Lin Feng and Jackson also had no opinion.
"Let's go, we'll have to rely on two legs."
No. 1 led the way in front, Yang Yi and Lin Feng followed, and Jackson stayed at the back with great interest.
Although it has reached the periphery of the rock fort, it is still very far from the center of the rock fort, and in order to avoid the enemy who is looking for it, the number one chooses all very hidden underground pipes, and some places are still very narrow, so you have to climb through them with both hands and feet. Luckily, there were no enemy guards on this route.
A few hours later, One stopped for the first time.
Among the four, only No. 1 did not have an Origin Converter and was not a soldier, so he was the most tired.
"We are already under the rock fort, and the temperature inside is above 1,000 degrees Celsius, and even as high as 2,000 degrees Celsius in places where the enemy gathers, and we need to wear protective clothing."
"We can make energy barriers." Jackson said.
One shook his head and said, "While most of the enemies are stupid, some of the silicon beasts raised by the enemy are extremely sensitive to the original energy. If there is a fluctuation of Origin Energy, it will be detected by these silicon beasts and thus discovered by the enemy. Don't use an energy barrier unless you have to. ”
Jackson nodded, not saying anything more.
"Wait, keep up and don't fall behind. The passage in front was very narrow and I couldn't take care of everyone. ”
After some advice, No. 1 took out the protective clothing he brought. Yang Yi and the others did the same, put on protective clothing, and then followed No. 1 into the passage in front.
The four of them are all A-level protective suits, which can withstand temperatures of 3,000 degrees Celsius and have strong ballistic performance.
The passage was pitch black and extremely narrow.
Instead of using a helmet-mounted light, the One activated the helmet's night vision function. His forward speed was not very fast, and he was obviously taking care of Yang Yi and the others behind him.
After a few hundred meters, the four had to climb down and crawl on all fours.
Soon, Yang Yi understood why Gong Baixu suspected the motives of those war kings.
The temperature inside the passage had risen to nearly a thousand degrees Celsius, and a thousand years ago, when Yan Zhanlong and Gong Baixu escaped from the rock castle, they must have no protective clothing, and could only use an energy barrier to isolate the high temperature of the outside world. If there were those silicon beasts in the rock castle that were extremely sensitive to the original energy, it would not be a problem to find Yan Zhanlong and Gong Baixu, and it would obviously not be difficult to kill the two humans crawling in the underground passage.
Yan Zhanlong and Gong Bai Xu were able to escape from the rock castle, obviously the king of war deliberately let them go.
Fortunately, the crawl distance is not too long.
About half an hour later, No. 1 stopped and beckoned Yang Yi and them to climb over.
In front of it is the exit of the passage, and outside is a ridiculously large cavern, so hot that even the walls of the cavern are burned red, indicating that the temperature inside must be above 1,000 degrees Celsius, maybe close to 2,000 degrees Celsius. Because of the high pressure, the rock did not melt.
"What is this place?" Jackson asked in a low voice.
"Cafeteria."
Jackson was slightly stunned, and Yang Yi and Lin Feng also showed surprised looks.
After a closer look, the three of them understood. There are hundreds of long stone tables and many stone benches in the cave, and they are neatly arranged.
"According to our investigations, there are at least 100,000 enemies in the rock fort, and about 10,000 silicon beasts are raised. Silicon-based life also needs to be fed, and here is the enemy's soldier canteen. Number One pointed to the bottom of the cavern at three o'clock. That hole, see? From there is the food warehouse, although the diet structure of silicon-based life is different from ours, but it can only preserve food for a long time in a low temperature environment. ”
"You mean ......"
"At the bottom of the food warehouse, the temperature is around 50 degrees Celsius. According to the information gathered by the probe, the seven people captured by the enemy were held there. ”
"Let's go, let's go down." Jackson immediately became anxious.
"Don't panic, wait."
Although he was very anxious, Jackson knew the rules and honestly lay down.
"It's evening, and in a little while, the enemy soldiers will come for dinner."
As One said this, a group of soldiers stepped out of the passage below, some of them still roaring loudly. Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could see that the soldiers were hungry and not very good-tempered, and they looked like they were going to eat their lives alive.
"How long will it take?" Yang Yi asked for Jackson.
"An hour, an hour and a half at most. Hide it and try not to make a sound. ”
As the soldier sat down, a group of silicon-based beings that looked like cooks appeared, placing a cauldron full of food on the table.
At this time, more soldiers arrived.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Yi took a closer look.
The enemy is mainly divided into three categories, one is the "ironclad furious battle" with a height of more than five meters, a weight of about 20 tons, an astonishing strength, and an equally strong defense; the second is a "rock spear and stone gun" that is about four meters tall and weighs nearly five tons, and looks like a stone pillar with hands and feet; The third is a "humanoid rock demon" that is less than three meters tall, weighs less than a ton, has a similar body structure to humans, and is known for its dexterity and agility.
These three classes are the most common in the Silicon Charm Alliance.
"Iron Armor Furious Battle" is known for its strength, coupled with amazing defensive power, it is often the main force of offensive and defensive battles, and the skin solidified by magma contains some trace elements, and the protective effect is no less than that of special alloys. The body of an adult ironclad frenzied can block large-caliber armor-piercing shells, and the defense line formed by a team of ironclad frenzied is enough to block the impact of heavy tanks. In the past few Greenwich Wars, it has been common for ironclad battles to shake heavy tanks. With the cooperation of other classes, the defenses of Ironclad are almost impenetrable. In addition, in the battle of the fortification, the ironclad frenzy is also extremely difficult to deal with, and it is simply a giant trebuchet that can move at will.
The "Rock Spear Stone Lance" is a throwing type of army, which mainly relies on firing stone spears to kill and injure enemies, and its destructive power is extremely amazing. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even heavy tanks may not be able to block the stone spears fired by them. If you encounter a large group of rock spears and stone spears, the only option is to escape. In the attack and defense of the Lighthouse Star thousands of years ago, there was an example of the officers and soldiers of a legion being caressed by the whole army under the intensive attack of rock spears and stone spears.
The "Humanoid Rock Demon" is not very strong in combat, and even if it is known for its flexibility, it is not as good as human warriors, and its only advantage is that it is numerous, like locusts and man-eating ants. On the battlefield, humanoid rock demons are often dispatched in legions, and in some large-scale battles, it is common for the Silicon Charm Alliance to dispatch 100,000 or even millions of humanoid rock demons at a time. Relying on numerical superiority, humanoid rock demons have devastating destructive powers.
All the soldiers who came here were soldiers, and there were no generals and kings.
There are many species in the Silicon Charm Alliance, and they are divided into arms according to the population. Although each class has advantages and disadvantages, it is not divided by group. To put it simply, as long as the combat power is strong enough, even the humanoid rock demon can become a general. Without strong combat power, even the ironclad frenzy is only a warrior.
Of course, due to the influence of the population's own abilities, the probability of becoming a warrior in Iron Armor is much higher than that of the Humanoid Rock Demon.
"What are they eating?"
"Magma."
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, those cauldrons were indeed some piping hot liquid food.
"It's not ordinary magma, it's been treated, impurities are removed, some necessary trace elements are added, and some condiments are added."
"Silicon-based life has a taste?"
No. 1 nodded and whispered, "Not only does it have a sense of taste, but the necessary trace elements are similar to ours." ”
Yang Yi was stunned again, but didn't say anything.
Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, Yang Yi had long heard that the enemies of the Silicon-based Alliance would eat prisoners of war as snacks, especially human prisoners of war. When he was young, Yang Yi felt that it was used to scare children. Now it seems that the rumors are not false, because the human body contains trace elements necessary for silicon-based life.
There are more and more enemies in the cafeteria, but they are all ordinary soldiers.
Obviously, the armies of the Silicon-based Alliance are also hierarchical, and soldiers can only eat in the soldiers' cafeteria, while officers such as generals must eat in the officers' cafeteria.
After a while, the first soldiers finished their dinner.
At this time, Yang Yi noticed that no matter how the soldiers yelled, the cooks in charge of distributing the food did not add food to them.
Rationing?
Yang Yi didn't ask No. 1, thinking that this judgment would not be wrong.
Because resources are limited, consumption can only be reduced through rationing. Even the enemy can't get enough food.
Although many soldiers were not well fed, especially the burly ironclad ones, none of the soldiers dared to stand up and make trouble except for yelling and complaining.
As the soldiers left after dinner, the cafeteria gradually fell silent.
"Are you ready?" Number One reminded the three in a low voice. "The suit has a camouflage function and slips down against the wall. Silicon-based life does not see the same as we do, and can only see light in the infrared band. But the sense of hearing is very sharp, so try not to make noise. ”
After the three of them activated the infrared stealth function of the protective suit, One climbed up first.
In the cafeteria, the cooks who had begun to distribute food had gathered in waves, and it was now their meal time. Yang Yi noticed that the cooks had received much more things than they had previously distributed to other soldiers, not just in terms of portions, but at least they looked more delicious.
It seems that silicon-based life also has selfish motives.
"Be careful, don't get distracted!"
was reminded by No. 1, Yang Yi didn't look around. Although hundreds of cooks were enjoying the food, they did not become deaf.
One is not moving fast, and there is no need to rush.
After more than ten minutes, the group crawled near the passage to the food warehouse. No. 1 stopped and confirmed that Yang Yi and the others had followed before entering the passage.
Jackson was very anxious and rushed in front of Yang Yi.
Yang Yi was speechless, but he didn't say much, after all, it was Jackson's subordinates who were locked up below, and Justin was still Jackson's woman.
