Chapter 162: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Xiguan Institute of Benevolence, God Cemetery Ground Area.
The front-line team of the Mill Research Institute was ordered to watch over the remains of the machine well 24 hours a day, in order to be able to provide the most accurate post-war command for the two soldiers who entered the Machine Country, and with the head of Gong Piqing's department, the situation of the two of them was under control at all times.
Things have developed to this point, everything is currently under their control, they can receive the news transmitted by the Hades through the kilometer-long fiber optic cable, although they can't command the Hades in real time, but the Hades can report the situation over there to them, and that's enough.
On the bright side, it won't take long for the two of them to complete the task, and the two of them will be able to go around in the country of machines to put it bluntly, and the only requirement is for them to go through every place in the country of machines, only in this way can they judge whether the demon world is gathering an army, as long as they finish walking around the country of machines, the two of them can come back.
But at present, the two of them are still facing a problem, that is, the vertical space of the country of machines is quite large, legend has it that there is a huge mechanical tower in the center of the country of machines, this mechanical tower is said to have thousands of floors, each layer has the size of a city, the entire mechanical tower is controlled by the lord of the country of machines, and the total area can even be compared to a large country in human civilization.
That's what they're worried about, if the training ground in the Machine Nation is in that mechanical tower, the two of them will have to spend a long time, and even encounter some unexpected dangers.
However, they should also have other methods, such as letting Gong Piqing guard the Hades, and the Hades will conduct a super-large-scale deep meditation, so that they don't need to enter the mechanical tower, and they can figure out the situation in the mechanical tower by relying on the Hades' mental power alone.
But that's just what the commanders think, and now they're all a bunch of military advisors on paper, and no one can tell what the situation is on the other side of the portal, and all they can do is wait.
Their hearts didn't dare to relax, partly because everyone had to be ready to meet the Immortal and the World Tree at any time, and partly, because of the zombie-like roar they had heard this morning.
After hearing that roar, they could almost conclude that the Xiguan Renai Research Institute was still conducting zombie research, after all, that kind of sound was obviously not made by humans, and it was impossible for them to exist in this bottomless underground research institute to raise fierce beasts, so the source of that roar could only be zombies.
It's just that they can't tolerate any disturbance now, let alone zombies, even the staff of the Xiguan Renai Research Institute itself has no right to enter this ruin, not to mention that there are heavyweight existences like silver-haired old men in their group, if there are still zombies in the Xiguan Renai Research Institute, it is really a huge threat to them.
On the other hand, after receiving the notice of borrowing from the Mill Institute, the vice president of the Xiguan Renai Research Institute appeared in person again, and at the same time, he became the only person who was allowed to enter the ruins area, and the vice president was still as polite as before, plus the Mill Research Institute did not take any force measures this time, so they agreed that the Mill Research Institute would conduct indefinite research here.
Because the reason why the Mill Research Institute borrowed the ruins was to conduct ultra-in-depth research on this well, and did not tell the fact that Gong Piqing and the Hades had entered the demon world.
The vice president expressed absolute sincerity on behalf of the Xiguan Renai Research Institute and left in a hurry, but what was unexpected was that less than half an hour after the vice president left, they received an urgent message from the headquarters, the content of the message was that there was another runaway zombie escape incident in the Xiguan Renai Research Institute, and the staff here knew that all the people of the Mill Research Institute were conducting experiments here, so they notified them of the news at the headquarters of the Mill Research Institute as soon as possible. So the command also conveyed the news to their front-line team as soon as possible.
At about the same time, the deputy dean once again ran into the ruins in a panic, also to relay the news to them......
His move was undoubtedly to send himself to the ghost's knife, and the ghost forced the vice president into a corner, and the blade went straight to the vice president's carotid artery, "We heard the roar of zombies when we came this morning, I didn't expect you to be really dead and still studying zombies, and besides, your loss of control this time came a bit of a coincidence, right?"
The vice president was already frightened, and his face was covered with beads of sweat, "Old man! Zombie research is a matter of their inner district, and I, the director, are only in charge of the outer district, and no one in the inner district can take care of it! It's a bunch of tech maniacs, and I told them to suspend all zombie research on the first day I took office, and I didn't know they were still studying zombies! Heaven and earth can be learned, I want to lie, there are five thunders in the sky! ”
The ghost smiled bitterly, "Hmph, don't forget, how did your last director die, it's not a joke to hit five thunders in the sky, God has already opened his eyes." ”
"Oops! My lords! Ancestors! I'm here to tell you the news this time, I'll take you to evacuate together, and the matter of the out-of-control zombies will be handed over to their self-defense team and our action team, do you think it's okay? I'll take you out of place in person, to a place where the out-of-control zombies won't even touch your hair, okay! The vice president was so anxious that he shivered all over, and sweat rained down on his forehead and face.
"No, we've been tasked with conducting a non-stop survey, and if we pause halfway, it will be in vain, otherwise, do you think they asked me to be a bodyguard? Do you know who I am? The ghost's tone was as cold as a blade in his hand, making the vice dean feel that it was not a person standing in front of him who was talking, but a poisonous snake.
"I'm here to help you! They said that the runaway zombies were about to run out of the last fence left, and the inner district is now convening a self-defense team, saying that the zombies that ran out this time are very powerful, so that unrelated personnel can directly give up resistance and escape! Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you personally! The vice president was about to cry, if the knife hadn't been on his neck, I'm afraid he would have knelt down and kowtowed to them to show his innocence.
"Say it again, we can't leave, the zombies are coming, and you can't leave!" The ghost paused word by word, telling the bottom line of the Mill Institute.
The vice president was helpless, it seemed that he didn't expect that there was really someone who was not afraid of death, you said that you are here to conduct a survey, you can pause the work at hand first and wait to avoid the limelight and then come back to survey! Now that the out-of-control zombies have run out, you still haven't left, are you really not afraid of death? You call yourself a ghost, and with two knives in your hand, you can beat those zombies that can tear apart concrete walls and superalloy plates when they get out of control?
"This is the headquarters, please answer when the front-line team hears it." The voice of the head of the Hades group came from their communication devices.
"The front-line team received, please speak." The silver-haired old man sat among the staff and replied.
"The ghost is right, you can't leave that well no matter what, even if the sky falls, we have to guard the well, it shouldn't be a big deal to have a ghost in your place, right? If you need support, please let us know immediately and we will send Gaia to you. The head of the Hades group said.
"Absolutely not." The silver-haired old man said categorically, "There must be a caretaker at home, Gaia will become an empty nest when he leaves his hometown, he must not leave the Mill Institute for half a step, there are ghosts and a few members of the escort team here, this is enough, we believe in ghosts, and we believe in ourselves." ”
"Okay, then good luck, if you don't let Gaia go, if you need support, we will immediately send an elite team over, and at the same time, we have also issued an ultimatum to the Xiguan Renai Research Institute, if any of you are injured in this accident, the Mill Research Institute will carry out the most cruel revenge against the Xiguan Renai Research Institute, please rest assured, your hometown will always be your strongest backing!"
The silver-haired old man smiled bitterly, "Old man, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to say to me, don't forget that I am also a commander, there are no weak people on the front-line team, everyone standing beside me is the elite of the elite, besides, the basket that the Xiguan Renai Research Institute poked itself should have carried it by themselves, if we need to help again, it will be too embarrassing." ”
The other side was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Yes, brother, I was nervous when I heard that there was a situation over there, and I forgot who was in charge over there, it was my most awesome brother in charge, with my brother here, who could move us a single hair?" Haha......"
The silver-haired old man laughed, and there was a sound in the research institute behind them that resembled the roar they had heard in the morning, but this time, it was obvious that the voice was very close to them, presumably the out-of-control infected body had broken through the so-called defenses and escaped.
"Alright man, let's not talk about it, we've heard zombies running out here, don't worry, we can handle it." After the silver-haired old man finished speaking, he gestured with his eyes to the staff around him, beside him, several staff members who were holding survey equipment and notebooks a few seconds ago, and after a few seconds, they became members of the elite squad armed with assault rifles, and at the same time, the ghost held the handle of the double knife and was ready to meet the enemy.
This guy Ghost has always been the most "hanging" of the four super soldiers, and he really rarely takes it seriously, but now, when he stands straight in front of the silver-haired old man, he looks like a warrior who really lives for the Lord and dies for the Lord......
