Chapter 182: Technical Squad
In the OO passage of the secret base Area A, Krom, who was wearing a white radiation-proof biochemical suit, was hurrying towards the exit of the base with forty or fifty jishu personnel under his hands.
More than ten minutes ago, Krom received an order from Brewer to activate the detonating device of the zeroing Jihua in advance. Although it was not authorized by Raymond, because of Brewer's reasons, Krom could not argue, and his military rank was indeed the highest in the entire base except for General Raymond, so Krom still followed Bream's order to end the operation of transporting the filled cargo and activate the zeroing detonator in advance.
Although there were still twenty boxes of "cargo" that had not yet been delivered to the designated formation, as the chief Jishu commander of Zero Jihua, Krom knew in his heart that these were nothing for a total of 89 million tons of nuclear weapons, at most, the explosion effect could not reach the most ideal state, but it was more than enough to detonate the entire planet.
After activating the detonator, Brewer hurriedly cut off communications by saying "Withdraw from the base immediately" to Krom. Although it is not clear what is going on inside the base, Krom can guess from Brewer's impatient tone. He estimated that the enemy who broke into the base must be quite strong, otherwise it would be impossible to stop even Andrei's special operations squadron (he didn't know that Raymond had temporarily transferred the special operations squadron out of the base), and the entire base would be in danger, so Brewer would forcibly order the activation of the "key". And, according to Breuer's words, even General Raymond fell into the hands of an unknown enemy, which shows that the situation has reached a rather critical juncture.
After thinking about this, Krom and his men hurriedly sealed the conveyor channel of the "cargo", and activated the timed detonation device located at the top of the cargo passage through an extremely complex device. The timing of the detonation device, according to Jihua, was set at 24 hours. In other words, all those who want to live, unless the detonating device fails, must be far away from the explosion range of the planet Mutus within 24 hours.
In fact, even Krom and others can only calculate the scope of this explosion, because the geology of the planet Mutus is special and the volume is huge, so it is possible to detonate the entire planet and form a black hole. In any case, the consequences of the planet's explosion are extremely terrifying for those who have not had time to evacuate.
According to the original jihua, the zeroing detonation device should be activated normally after 5 hours. After that, all personnel involved were evacuated from the base, all exits from the base were sealed, evacuated to safety, and then left Mutus on the space carrier of the Sharon New Army. Who would have thought that the mission was about to be successfully completed, but the base unexpectedly broke into the enemy army, not to mention Brewer, even Krom and the others were quite depressed.
Depressed to depressed, after Krom and the others activated the detonating device, they wanted to continue to ask Brewer how to carry out the evacuation next. However, to Krom's surprise, they were unable to contact Breuer and the others again, not even the control center. At that moment, an icy chill crept up on Krom's back. Commanders such as Brewer could not be contacted, and Krom and the others did not even know the coordinates of the evacuation site, let alone whether they were qualified to board the evacuation warship. Obviously, this group of jishu personnel who worked hard for Sharon's new government were abandoned by Brewer and others at a critical moment.
After learning the news, the Jishu personnel under his command shouted that they wanted to rush to the command and control center to ask for an explanation, but the shrewd Krom thought that it was no longer necessary. The top priority is to withdraw from the base as soon as possible, if it is fast, there may be a chance to catch up with Brewer and the others who evacuated first. Reluctantly, Krom still prefers to believe that it was the enemy's aggressive offensive that forced Brewer to lose contact with his gang rather than deliberately abandon them.
After comforting his restless men, Krom led them out of the base in a hurry. However, what they didn't expect was that the "enemy army" that had broken into the base had already targeted them. When they hurried to the exit of the OO passage, they found that they could not open the tightly closed passage door. The gate connects the OO passage to the OY passage, and the exit to the base can only be approached through it.
"Captain, the access code is invalid!" A team member in a white chemical hazmat suit tinkered back and forth on the electronic lock next to the gate for a full minute, and Zuihou looked back to Krom with a bitter face.
"What's going on?" Shocked by this, Krom stepped forward to pick up the team member and personally crackled into the electronic lock with a string of access codes. However, a second later, the four red words "invalid password" flashed on the display of the electronic lock. Chromden's glasses widened, and he re-entered the password again, but the words "invalid password" popped up on the display, and the door remained untouched.
"I'm X! Could it be that the base has been sealed off by Brewer's gang of brutes? A thought flashed through Krom's heart, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out. If that's the case, it means that Krom and the others will be buried for Zero Jihua.
"Captain, what should I do?" The team member apparently saw the shocked expression on Krom's face as well, and asked with a sad face.
"Cole, get here!" Chrom waved his hand impatiently and turned back to the queue and shouted.
"Here comes the captain!" A thin man raised his hand in response, ran over with a fart, and asked angrily, "Captain, what's the matter?" "Because these people are wearing chemical protective suits and even wearing one-piece protective helmets on their heads, the sound coming from the loudspeaker outside the protective suits is naturally a bit buzzy. (PS, big dreams are really verbose~!) "Get rid of this! Krom pointed to the electronic lock and said in a deep voice: "Give you a minute, can you get it done?" "Cole is the most proficient member of the Jishu team with electronic devices. When Brewer and Archer were preparing to forcibly break into the ammunition depot, they originally wanted to transfer Cole over to open the door to the ammunition depot for them. But later, Brewer decided to use the mecha to force the door, so he let Cole go back the same way, and inadvertently let Cole escape.
"Ah, isn't this Nicks?" Cole glanced at the electronic lock, waved his hand at Krom, answered nonchalantly, and then took out a book-sized, laptop-like device from his backpack, pulled out a data cable, and inserted it into the data socket of the electronic lock, crackling and began to operate.
Watching Cole's skillful manipulation, Krom's heart settled down a little. However, as time passed, the four words "invalid password" on the display screen of the electronic lock still beat frequently, like a thorn in Krom's eye, which made him feel pain in his heart. And although his hands were flying on the electronic device, Cole's expression slowly became solemn from the initial relaxation. Five minutes later, Cole's forehead began to sweat slightly, and the door remained untouched.
"Captain, something is wrong!" Finally, Cole stopped what he was doing, looked up at Krom with a puzzled face, and said, "This electronic lock doesn't look like it's malfunctioning!" And I can't hack into the microcontrol system! If I'm guessing correctly, someone must have forcibly locked the gate through the main engine in the control center! ”
"What then?" Although there were already some clues from Cole's expression, Krom was still slightly surprised, and asked in a deep voice: "Can you invade the main engine of the control center and forcibly open this door!" After a pause, Krom added with a solemn face: "Cole, the lives of all forty or fifty members of our team will be entrusted to you!" ”
"I'll try, Captain!" Although Krom's words were heavy, Cole could only reluctantly answer with a wry smile. He is familiar with the entire base control system, and he knows in his heart that the security level of the base control center host is second only to the management core host of the Governor's government, and it is difficult for ordinary people to hack into the control center host without knowing the authorization password. And all this is simply because zeroing out Jihua is too important for Sharon's new government.
At this time, the rest of the Jishu team had already gathered around. The big guy was silent about the predicament in front of him, and forty or fifty pairs of eyes stared at Cole and the electronic device in his hand. The entire passage was silent, except for the soft click of Cole's fingers on the touchscreen.
Cold sweat began with a small drop, then a large one, and then a string of beans and a sea of beans, which flowed down Cole's forehead and face. Another five minutes passed, and Cole finally said to Krom in despair, "Captain, I did my best!" The security level of the control center host is too high, there are nine layers of security, I went into the sixth floor, and I couldn't get in after the seventh floor. Unless you have an authorization password, or go to the control center and go directly to the console to control the host to unlock it, ......" said, Cole sweating profusely, indicating that he was powerless.
Cole's words made Krom's brow furrow even tighter, and the rest of the team also looked at each other with a look of panic and anxiety at the imminent catastrophe.
"What to do? Captain! The team member who had tried to open the gate came back and asked in a cautious whisper.
"Put it back the way you came, take a detour to the WW channel in Area B!" Krom frowned and stared at the door for a moment, as if he had made a major decision, turned around and looked at the team members crowded around him, and suddenly waved his hand high and ordered loudly.
"Captain, if you want to detour through the WW passage in Area B, you must go around the entire base for more than half a circle!" The team member said, his eyes widened in surprise.
"So what do you say? Blow open this door? Krom asked in a deep voice as he glared back at the teammate. Although he also knew that the detour to the WW passage in Area B was more than four or five times longer, and there was also a risk of encountering enemy troops who broke into the base. But at the moment, for these jishu team members who only have rifles and other light weapons in their hands at most, there is really no other way.
The team member was stunned by Krom's words, and was speechless. Chrom sighed helplessly, waved his hand and told Cole to pack up his equipment, and then led the way back along the passage. The rest of the team did not even raise their voices against it for a while, and all of them looked depressed and dejected, and followed Krom back the way he came.
However, when Krom and the others returned along the original path of the passage, and had not run far, they heard a series of dull and sonorous footsteps faintly coming from the corner at the end of the passage, which shocked the faces of Krom and the others.
