Chapter 17: Decision-making
Chapter 17: Decision-making
By the time Frank arrived at the "Trench of the Dead", it was already nightwatch, and most of the people in the base had slept, except for a few patrol teams on duty to keep watch throughout the base. However, they didn't notice Frank, who had entered the base without them even noticing. Eventually, he was found in his private tent. He hadn't stopped since the beginning of his journey, shuttling through the steep mountains, being chased by the swarms, until now, even he had a feeling of exhaustion, and after returning to his tent, he took off his boots, ignored the dirt on his body, and lay down on the bed with his head upside down, and was about to fall asleep, when he suddenly thought of a question.
He knew that Kellygan could also hide herself, and apparently, the patrol team outside might be able to spot the bugs as soon as they came to the perimeter of the base, but what if Kellygan? For her abilities, Frank only knew that she would only be stronger than himself, although he felt that his strength had increased dramatically, and if she infiltrated the base and went on a killing spree with insiders, the bugs would take advantage of it
Thinking of this, Frank couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, this is not impossible, this base seems to be impregnable, taking advantage of the terrain, but it only takes one person to infiltrate it to cause them to be catastrophic. But then he relaxed a little, and Kellygan was now in a rage, and it was clear that the Protoss had annoyed her, and that her current attention was on the Protoss, or in her opinion, the Ranger was not a threat at all.
"Still, this defensive hole must be closed!" Frank said to himself, and he nodded to himself, as if to communicate with himself, and then fell silent. I also closed my eyes.
The next day, he lived up to his expectations and surprised Renault.
"When did you get back to base? Why didn't I hear their report? Inside the command center, Renault looked at the smiling man in front of him in surprise.
"Late last night! I'm coming back from seclusion! So if they don't notice it, naturally there will be no report! Frank explained to him.
"Retreat?" Renaud looked at him suspiciously, clearly incomprehensible. Frank smiled, he didn't give him an answer immediately, but the answer came out quickly, and Renault's eyes widened as he watched a living person disappear from his sight, "How is this possible?" You don't have combat uniforms," Renault looked around with a stunned expression, he didn't see any of him. Soon. Frank appeared in front of him again, and he looked at him with a smile, "I've recently learned some new tricks from the Protoss!" ”
"Sounds good!" Renault turned around and recovered as usual, not too excited or surprised by the fact that he could be invisible, the ghost agent could have been invisible. It's just that the one in front of him is not wearing a combat uniform. Renault was a brilliant warrior in the end, not a scientist. If what happened to Frank was seen by a tech engineer working in the field of spectral energy. He must be able to bring out the madness of a scientist to the extreme.
The two sides didn't discuss this aspect for too long, and Frank was quick to point out the holes in the base's defenses.
"You have a point!" Renault folded his arms around him, and he groaned, as if thinking about something.
"Now that we have the resources on hand, can we build a spaceship?" Frank moved on to another issue, as long as he could get out of here quickly. Then there is no need to be too obsessed with it, but unfortunately Renault did not give him the answer he wanted, "We already have four refineries in operation, but the drawings we currently have are only low-level products such as combat armor and some firearms as medicine." We don't have the manufacturing drawings of the spaceship, not even a transmission engine device, and it's not just this threshold, we don't have enough high-energy gas, we don't have the catalyst for this crystal mine, even if we have the drawings and crystal veins, the construction time will be extended indefinitely, we currently have a lot of resources, but we can only make some low-level products, this is the situation. ”
"Why don't you even have drawings? Don't we have a lot of scientists here? Duke people, don't they want to cooperate! Frank asked, after a brief moment of silence.
"There are a lot of scientists, but the profession is not right! It seems that we are going to have the consciousness to stay here for a long time. Renault spread his hands helplessly.
Frank fell silent with one hand over his mouth.
"The ground defense inside the base can be described as impregnable, and we have a lot of resources in stock, and we won't have much of a problem resupplying them for a few months," Frank said. Finally, he added, "We only need to blast the east, west and northeast sides to inject magma flows into these two places, and finally we only need to send troops to defend the trenches, and the Zerg ground forces have no capital to capture our base." ”
"But it's just ground forces!" Frank added that he called up the defense deployment map of the Bone Trench on the control platform, "Our weak link is our air defense capability, and we have almost done the best defense against the Bug's ground forces, and for the air force defending the Zerg, on the contrary, if they send out the air force, we will still be quickly defeated." Frank pointed out this point, "So far, we don't have good prevention and control facilities, and the base is solid and unbreakable, but in fact it is precarious." ”
"I've thought about that, but we don't have an air force, damn it! If Swan hadn't had such a headache here, he would have been able to build a lot of new things. Renault said viciously.
"That's right! You're not going to talk about what you encountered outside? I haven't gotten a bit of intel yet, man! Renault threw away the headache and changed the subject.
Frank paused and began to explain the journey to him
"Are you sure the Protoss won't attack us?" Renault asked, still with a hint of guilt and worry about the Protoss in his words.
"They won't attack us, neither the Dark Templars nor another wave of Protoss." Frank muttered, "We are not their target, as for the two groups of them, Tasada and his Protoss warriors are fighting with Kelly Gan, I don't know if the Protoss is chasing Kelligan or she is chasing the Protoss, but the current chase scene between the two of them is quite 'passionate'." As for the other group, the Dark Templars, I have a bit of a friendship with them, and their targets are bugs. ”
"That sounds like good news!" Renault said, smiling as he listened to his explanation.
"Yes!" Frank nodded, "Obviously, even though we have supplies that we can stay in Char for months or even half a year, I would say that the longer we stay here, the more dangerous it becomes, and we have to get out of here." ”
"Yes! That's right! Renault admitted, "But we don't have a spaceship!" That's the biggest problem! No one is staying in this hellish place. ”
"I think Cayde was right!" Frank then looked at him, "I think we should go to the Protoss, we can ally with them, help each other, we can provide extra firepower, and then let them give me a ride, and finally get out of this hellish place." ”
"It's a great idea, but I don't think it's going to work!" Renault responded to him. "Also, what if we can find them?" He added.
"I'll leave this to me! No one here is better suited for this task than me. Frank pointed to himself, and he added, "Our original plan remains the same, it's just an additional additional task, what do you think?" ”
"Agreed!" Renault didn't think much about it and nodded directly, although he didn't have much affection for the Protoss, but he didn't lose his mind, "Although I don't have much hope, but there is no wrong way to do it." What are you going to do? Do you need to bring some people? ”
"No!" Frank shook his head, "I'm faster on my own, and I'm used to acting alone. ”
"Looks like you're busy! Buddy! I'm going to give you a long vacation after leaving Charl! Renault said with a smile.
Less than two days after Frank returned to the base, he left in a hurry, and most of the people at the base didn't even know he had ever returned. Along the way, he walked through mountains, through low-lying areas, through cracked areas full of natural traps, and he could vaguely see that the lava beneath the ground had crumbled the cracked surface, and that any creature that fell would surely die.
Despite his advantage of foreseeing the future, he doesn't know every detail, so looking for the Protoss, those memories won't help him in any way. He estimated that they would appear in the active volcanic area, because the volcanic ground with the steam spewing from the ground would give him a good cover, and in addition, where the terrain structure should be easy to spot the enemy, so that they could better monitor the enemy, they would probably be hidden in such terrain, and he followed these two points in his mind to find that terrain.
