Chapter 587: On the eve of departure
A few minutes later, the old man appeared at the former site of the Operations Department with several commanders, and on the cleared table were two batches of equipment, which were about the same amount, but there were some differences in some small details.
"On the left is the equipment of the Hades, on the right is the equipment of the World Tree, the two batches of equipment are completely customized according to the equipment they used when they went to the country of dark crows and the country of extreme cold last time, and the equipment is an emergency replacement that was retained in that plan, although it is a replacement, but there is no castration compared to the original version, this point also ask the commanders to believe in our style."
The staff member who had been waiting here for a long time introduced to them, "We have also made appropriate adjustments to the equipment of the two of them through some details in the last mission, all in all, this time the equipment is more suitable for short-term combat, lighter weight, and there are almost no superfluous tools, which can help them complete the mission as soon as possible, but the only drawback is that our computer cannot start, and the artificial intelligence system of the suit is still the same version as the last time." ”
The old man nodded with satisfaction, "One version is enough, and we don't have anything to update, do we?" ”
After speaking, he pointed to a lamp-like thing placed between the two of them's equipment, "I forgot to tell you that this time the gateway is prepared with two doors, let each of them bring one in case of accidents." ”
Speaking of this, the staff member scratched his head in embarrassment, "This...... Or because of the energy problem, we have made a total of six gateways in one batch, except for this one, there is only one last gateway left in the warehouse as inventory, if the two of them come back this time to share a portal, it would be fine, but if they both use it, we will not have a chance to go to the demon world again in the future, or in a short period of time......"
The old man was lost in thought, and after a few seconds he nodded, "It's okay, this thing doesn't need to be in stock, one person will equip them with one, at most, I'll remind them when the time comes, and tell them to come back with a door if the situation allows." ”
The staff member smiled, as if to praise it as a good idea, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go to the warehouse and get another door." ”
After speaking, he trotted out of the Operations Department again, leaving the old man and his party standing in front of the table and looking at the batch of top-notch equipment on the table that almost condensed most of the scientific research achievements of their Mill Research Institute and the efforts of countless people.
"Now that everything is ready, all you need is the east wind, the teleportation coordinates have been determined, and the portal test will only take an hour or two to complete, when do you want them to go?" A commander leaned over to the old man and whispered.
"There's no need to worry about this, although I told you not to rush them to set their own time, but believe it or not, these two guys are probably discussing why we didn't send someone to inform them of the start of the mission? After they have discussed it in private, it is time to take the initiative to ask us. ”
After the old man finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and the old man took a step back, presumably the staff member who had returned from the warehouse with the folding door.
But then, there was an unhurried knock at the door.
After a few knocks, the door was gently pushed open, only to realize that it was not the staff member, but Hades and the World Tree.
"Ah, everybody, you're here...... Excuse me. As soon as he entered the door, Gong Piqing scratched his head in embarrassment, "That's it...... It's just that we want to ask, when will the mission start? ”
The commander and the old man smiled at each other at the same time, and at the same time, the commander gave the old man a thumbs up in a place where Gong Piqing and the two of them couldn't see, as if to say that you are really like a god, that they will come, and it was less than thirty seconds before they came!
The old man smiled, "When do you want to start?" You see, now that the equipment has been prepared for you, I don't think it's safe to have a gateway, so I asked someone to get one for you, and then you can go to the country of machines with a gateway, so it's a little safer. ”
"No, no, no! It's too luxurious to bring two of these precious things! It's enough for us to bring one, it's not convenient to bring two, and bringing one is just enough to prevent someone from sneaking away. Gong Piqing said with his teeth bared.
Hades had a black look on his face, and said that if Gaia and the ghost were to come, they might have to be equipped with a gateway, because it was really possible for those two guys to slip away on their own, but we ...... We're the kind of people who would rather leave their lives behind than give in and run away......
"This mission is very important, it's okay for each of you to bring a fan, and this is not a valuable item, and when the normal energy equipment in the institute is really restored in the future, we have the opportunity to make countless fans, so you two will listen to me, one person will bring one!"
After speaking, the old man took a few steps back to make way for the two of them, "Since you are both here, then check if there is anything to be added to the equipment prepared for you by the way, the people from the Operations Department will come over immediately, if there is anything that needs to be replenished, just let him get it as soon as possible." ”
Gong Piqing gritted his teeth and laughed without looking at it, "There's nothing to add, so much equipment is enough at a glance, with the strength of the two of us, even if we go empty-handed, it's enough!" ”
The old man and the commanders laughed as well.
"Is it enough to go empty-handed? If you really want to go empty-handed, how will you get back when you get your stuff? You don't need a gateway? The old man asked with a smile.
"This and this...... In fact, it's okay to keep a fixed portal like the first time! Hades remembers the way, as long as the original portal is kept for us, even if there is no gateway, we can come back! Gong Piqing said confidently.
The old man laughed twice, "I'm afraid this won't be able to satisfy you, if the original portal keeps open, it is estimated that it will be detected by Xiguan Renai's side or by those lords of the Demon Realm, then the enemy can easily understand that our side is moving again, because if there is no big action, why should we reopen a portal?" So for the sake of the safety of our hometown, this time we will only open the portal when we teleport you, and when you come back, you can just use the gateway to come back. ”
Gong Piqing nodded, "I see...... Then we will complete the teleportation as soon as possible, and after the teleportation is successful, you will immediately close the portal, so as to arouse the suspicion of the enemy, as soon as we leave, there will be a ghost left in the old home, so I am actually quite worried about it, I hope that during the time when we are on the mission, everything is safe at the headquarters! ”
As he spoke, there was another sound of running at the door, and the portal trotted in with a silver, metallic stick, "Ah, two warriors are here too, just right, now that your equipment is ready, let's see if there is anything else to add!" ”
With that, the staff member placed the two gateways under their equipment.
"They don't have much to prepare." After the old man finished speaking, his eyes fell on Gong Piqing and Hades again, "Listen to you two...... Is it ready? ”
Gong Piqing and the Hades nodded at the same time, "Ready!" You're ready to go! ”
The eyes of the old man and the commanders behind him fell on the hands of the Hades who were still wearing plasterboard and hanging on their chests.
"Hades, you ......" Before the old man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hades reaching out his hand.
"There is nothing wrong with Hades' injury, and besides, I don't need much help with my left hand in the mission, and the World Tree is my left hand." The Immortal King smiled and said, "If only I have to wait until my wound is healed...... We can afford to wait, but Gaia doesn't have to...... So...... Let's go. ”
The old man nodded, "The comrade-in-arms is indeed tear-jerking, the technical department should have already helped you test the portal underground, theoretically speaking, this process requires the presence of the two of you, since you two have just arrived, then prepare to go down with me to see the progress of the portal test, bring the equipment before going down, if everything is normal below, you can set off immediately, now finally think about whether you have anything else to bring, before departure, everything is still in time." ”
Gong Piqing and Hades' expressions immediately became serious, they took a deep breath one after another, and then nodded to the old man, "There is nothing to bring, let's bring the equipment now and go down to the portal test!" ”
After speaking, the staff next to him glanced at the old man.
The old man nodded at him.
"Okay, please wait a few minutes, I'll help you put on your suits, bring your equipment and explain how to use the props, please be sure to cooperate with my work in the process, and in addition, I wish the two heroes a triumphant return in advance." The staff member said, and began to put on their uniforms and equipment......
