Chapter 278: Exchange
Regarding Hill's inexplicable hostility towards the Nightkin , Yang Yi was not very clear or understood. But since he's so disgusted with Nightcrawlers, maybe he knows something about the guys hiding on Blacksis.
Hill's claim to him is that the Nightkin is supposed to be related to the UED, but rather rather to be some sort of mercenary-employer partnership. The reason why he didn't like these Nightkin was because he had suffered heavy losses at the hands of these Nightkin and had been overshadowed by many of the Nightkin men, and since these guys had disappeared since the First Battle of Abaddon, he had been looking for a long time but could not find them, and there was no place to take revenge.
Yang Yi can only hehe, obviously he took the initiative to bring people over, and in the end, he was so angry that he was fought back......
As for what exactly the Nightkin does, Hill says he doesn't know. In the previous battle of Abaddon, the Nightkin had a cruiser "Nightingale" as the flagship and three destroyers, but except for one destroyer that escaped, the other ships and carrier-based aircraft were sunk in Abaddon. The exact number is unknown, but it should be no less than three digits.
After thinking briefly for a while, Yang Yi decided to agree to the conditions proposed by the other party. It's not that he simply believes the Nightkin words, it's that he doesn't want another misfortune at this time. As long as the other party's intelligence is useful enough, he doesn't bother to make a feud with this nightcrawler.
But then the other party's offer made him hesitate again: Wilson asked to meet with him and give him information in person. Due to the harsh weather on the surface, Wilson offered to arrange a meeting in his Nightkin stronghold, and to reassure him, he was allowed to bring two escorts with him, but not either Hill or any of his mercenaries.
This strange condition did make Yang Yi a little uneasy. Genwu's advice to him was to let him go, and she would have one of her clones, Sakiya, accompany him, and also arrange for a troop to camp near the meeting place to meet him. With the two of them here, it was impossible for anyone to hurt him unless there was a bunch of Narud on the other side.
Yang Yi could only grin at this. Although he said every time he couldn't risk his life, he found that it seemed that every time things didn't go his way. After making an appointment for a meeting place, Yang Yi said that he would be there in a moment, and then after informing Ciel, he hurried out of the bridge with one of Xuanwu's clones and Sakiya.
The harshness of the surface environment of Blacksis was beyond Yang Yi's imagination, even if they were wearing power armor, the cold wind and the snow that buried their knees almost made it difficult for them to move an inch. Sakuya was also wearing a harsh environmental protection suit at this time to ensure that she could move forward normally, but ...... Xuanwu is still wearing a kimono, should it be said that it is really worthy of being a psionic clone?
Their transport landed at a camp near the meeting point, and they boarded a transport, the Empire's famous Thunderbolt transport. Relying on the almost all-terrain attributes brought by the suspension power, they arrived at the agreed location in just half an hour.
It's a small snow mound, and a dozen guys in CMC power armor have been waiting here for a long time. Although the opposite side looked aggressive, until Yang Yi and the two ladies walked in front of them, there was no hostile behavior on the opposite side, and it seemed that they really didn't intend to do anything crooked.
"Mr. Yang? Our commander has been waiting for a long time. One of them heard a deep male voice with an electric current from the speaker.
"It's me, please take us there."
Not surprisingly, the Nightkin meeting point was inside the small snow mound, and they covered the metal door leading to the interior with snow. After entering the door, it was not immediately a safety airlock, but turned through several corridors before reaching the airlock door, and although there was no threat in the middle of the road except for a few dormant top turrets, there were probably no traps on this road.
The man in the communication was waiting for him on the other side of the airlock, and the fierce girl was also beside him, glaring at them through the security window, and through the airlock, Yang Yi could also see that there were more security personnel inside. However, looking back, Xuanwu and Sakiya's expressions were still the same, and he was relieved.
As soon as they exited the airlock, Wilson greeted them, stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome to the Nightcrawler base, it's better to see than to hear, Captain Yang." ”
Yang Yi, who was wearing power armor, also stretched out his hand and shook it lightly before letting go-after all, the other party was not wearing power armor, in case the grip was heavy, the opposite hand would be gone-and then politely opened the mask, revealing his face: "You have won the award, and you are just a small group leader." Are we going to be here, or are we going to ......"
"If you want to wear power armor, please......"
"Xuanwu, help me take it off." Yang Yi said directly to Xuanwu without thinking about it. Xuanwu didn't say much, he stepped forward three times and divided five by two, and directly removed his power armor, and saw the eyelids of the soldiers around him jump-dismantling the power armor generally requires a mechanical arm, originally they prepared an assembly room, but ......
"Lead the way, Mr. Wilson." After Yang Yi took off his power armor, he briefly moved his muscles and bones, and said to Wilson, "Is it okay for my power armor to be stored here temporarily?" ”
“…… Well, yes, we'll make sure it's still in good condition when you come back. Wilson looked strange and glanced at Xuanwu, who had quietly put the disassembled power armor parts together with his bare hands, and then turned to lead them to the reception room.
Said to be a hospitality room, it can be seen that it is obviously an empty room that has been temporarily cleaned up, and two face-to-face sofas are simply arranged in the center of the room, and a low table is placed in the middle of the sofa, which is basically all the decoration in the room. There was a window on the wall of the room and hallway, and the girl had been leaning against that window since they had arrived, most likely uneasy, waiting for them to peek in when they entered.
Let's peek, let's peek, and being looked at twice is indispensable.
Yang Yi walked into the room with Sakuya and Xuanwu, and Wilson also brought an officer with a folder into the room, then closed the door and made a gesture to them.
Sakuya didn't sit down, she stood quietly behind him and Genwu's couch. Xuanwu was not polite and sat directly on one side of the sofa, Yang Yi also sat on the other side of the sofa that was empty, Wilson also sat on the sofa opposite them, and the officer stood behind the sofa like Sakuya.
"First of all, I want to say that I am still surprised that Your Excellency will agree to our request, and it is rare for a leader to be willing to go deep into the tiger's den."
"Mr. Wilson has won the award, at least I have to trust my subordinates." Yang Yi smiled, "But let's put aside the polite words first, I think you specially invited me and didn't let Mr. Hill accompany you, there should be something troublesome to talk about, right?" ”
"It's not a problem, it's just some advice." As he spoke, Wilson's face sank slightly, "I hope you pay more attention to Mr. Hill." Don't worry, I don't want to sow discord, and I actually have a lot of questions for Mr. Hill. ”
"You may be curious about Mr. Hill's hostility towards us, right? Actually, we don't know at all. Wilson sighed, "That's how Mr. Hill treated us when we first met at the Battle of Abaddon, and we never knew where this Mr. Hill's hostility came from. If you hadn't intervened this time, I'm afraid they would have done it mercilessly when they found out about us. ”
"Anyway, it's just a little piece of advice." Wilson's expression quickly returned to normal, and he said to the thoughtful Yang Yi, "That's all for the off-topic." Mr. Yang, this is what you need. As he spoke, the officer next to him stepped forward and put the folder he brought on the low table, and Wilson pressed it in front of Yang Yi with his hand.
"This is all the intelligence we have gathered about UED activities since the time of the Brood War. Now that you're tracking down the whereabouts of the UED, you should have found traces of the UED's activity in the star zone, right? ”
Yang Yi didn't take over, Xuanwu next to him leaned over directly, stretched out his hand to take over the folder, opened it and began to read it carefully.
"It's not so much that we've found traces of activity, it's that we've already fought each other." Yang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I will take the initiative to find it, and I also hope to have more initiative in future confrontations." ”
"Your Excellency, it's a very important clue indeed." Xuanwu's voice came from within the command network, "However, it's basically some index and useless nonsense, I guess they should need something, listen to their conditions." ”
"I don't think this information was given for free, didn't you say what conditions you wanted? Let's talk about it. ”
"Happy. But what we need is also intelligence. Wilson smiled slightly, "Since Your Excellency has had a few fights with UED, you must have some relevant information. It just so happens that we are also tracking down the whereabouts of UED, so how about this deal as an exchange of information between partners? ”
"Deal."
