Chapter 371: Advent
Also on this night.
A surface base 170 kilometers away from the once forbidden place of 'Misty Canyon', this night was the same as countless nights in the past.
After the sun went down, the base became dark, the thermal power plant ran at low power, and the other plants in the base stopped production.
One is to avoid excessive power consumption, and the other is to worry about lights and sound attracting behemoths.
The residents of the base go to bed early, and in this era of no nightlife, it is a blessing to be able to rest at sunset.
It's just that there are some people, even if night falls, they can't end this busy day in the warm bed.
Qi Yuan is one of them.
But he was happier than the others, because he was a mecha master, and although he had to be on duty at night, at least he didn't have to be exposed to the cold wind outside, but hid in his warm duty room, and was able to flip through Playboy magazine.
"Tsk, this is not bad, but the breasts are a little smaller."
"I like this, I have long legs and big buttocks."
Drooling at the magazine, Qi Yuan took a can of beer, took a few sips, grabbed a handful of peanuts, threw them into his mouth, and ate them deliciously.
Outside the duty room, the two soldiers tightened their military coats and looked at Qi Yuan with envy.
"One day, I can be like Mr. Qi, have my own duty room, and be able to drink wine and eat some peanuts."
One soldier wrote the word 'envy' on his face.
Another soldier pulled down his companion: "Let's go, don't be envious, who made us not know how to drive a mecha." ”
They jumped into a base car and drove along the established route.
"Did you hear that, the Misty Canyon is gone."
"You know, it's like there's been a big war there, and as a result, a lot of people have lost their jobs."
"Yes, the forbidden land is gone, many people are unemployed, and I think we're about to lose our jobs."
"There is this possibility, although our base does not have the scale of the Longquan base, it is not far from the forbidden land, and you can drink soup without eating meat."
"Now that the forbidden land is gone, I think our base will be finished sooner or later."
As the two were talking, a sudden gust of wind blew away one of the soldiers' hats.
The soldier lifted it and saw that the hat had flown into the air in the snowstorm, and it was pitch black, and it seemed that even the moonlight was gone.
At this moment, an eye rolled out of the darkness, and the soldier just looked at each other in the air.
In the duty room, Qi Yuan put down the magazine and was about to get up to go to the toilet when he heard a scream outside.
He was stunned, then ran out of the duty room and ran towards his mech.
During the run, he shouted through the base's radio communication system: "I'm mecha master Qi Yuan, what's the situation now, please report, please report." ”
There was a quick response on the radio: "Pilot Qi Yuan, there are giant beasts!" There are giants..."
Communication was suddenly interrupted, and there was a screeching noise from the earphones, making Qi Yuan take off the earphones at once.
He gets into the cab, puts on his helmet, connects the neuronal leads, and empathizes.
In the mech warehouse, the light of the engine and energy furnace is lit up, and then the lights on the mech are turned on, illuminating the scene outside the panoramic window.
Qi Yuan controlled his mecha and strode out of the warehouse, and saw a giant beast wreaking havoc in the base.
The beast was shaped like a worm, with a large head and a small tail, like an anchor.
However, it was a lap smaller than the other behemoths, and it didn't look difficult to deal with.
At this moment, the soldiers in the base are desperately trying to stop this giant beast, but the effect is not good, and the soldiers in a car are even eating by the giant beast with people and cars.
"Leave me alone!"
Qi Yuan shouted, and his mecha rushed out, stomping on the ground, shaking the ground, and waking countless people from their sleep.
The mecha raised its rifle and shot at the smaller insect beast, and the fierce fire quickly made the skin of the worm open.
In the end, the insect was torn in two by Qi Yuan's waist.
"Tsk, that's easy."
Qi Yuan looked out of the panoramic window, the giant beast with a head like an anchor, and then swept the giant beast radar.
"Strange, why isn't there a match?"
At this moment, the cab suddenly shook violently, and it turned out that another such giant insect swept through the air and crashed into the mecha, causing Qi Yuan to fall on all fours.
Looking out through the panoramic window, Qi Yuan saw another anchor-shaped insect floating above him.
As the worm passed, he suddenly saw something poking out of the thick clouds in the night sky.
It was a wing fin, unimaginably huge, it occupied Qi Yuan's field of vision, so that Qi Yuan could not see anything else in his eyes except this wing fin.
An indescribable, extremely strong feeling of danger made Qi Yuan's hair stand on end.
Before he could even come back to his senses, his body was already in action.
The mecha rolled over and got up, and then under the stunned gazes of the soldiers, Qi Yuan controlled the mecha to flee for his life. In the blink of an eye, the mecha had already rushed out of the base and headed towards the endless night.
In the wheelhouse, a voice yelled in the command room of the base.
"Qi Yuan, where are you going?"
"Qi Yuan, you come back for me!"
"Bastard, Qi Yuan, are you going to defect?"
"Hey, what's that..."
"Oh my God..."
"Ahh Help me! ”
There was a loud noise in the communication channel, and then the signal was gone.
At this moment, Qi Yuan, who was in the cab, only felt a violent vibration behind him, and followed the flying sand and rocks outside the panoramic window.
The computer on the command console constantly alarms the pilot, alerting the driver that the mech is under a strong impact.
Qi Yuan had no choice but to let the mecha squat, lower his center of gravity, and after resisting this shock, he looked back and immediately felt numb on his scalp.
The base is gone.
Disappeared into a cloud of brilliant fire, and in the firelight, the anchor-shaped worm that looked like a small giant beast swam in the flames.
Above, a wing fin is receding into a thick cloud.
At this time, a strong wind blew away the clouds and mist in the sky, and the moon came out, and the moon tonight was shining yellow for some reason, and there were stripes around it.
Suddenly, Qi Yuan gasped.
That's not the moon at all.
It's an eyeball!
Meanwhile.
Changping City, in the Ground Monitoring Department of the Mecha Corps.
It was late at night, and a monitor was dozing off, when suddenly the computer called the police, startling him.
He jumped to his feet and saw a line of information flickering wildly on the computer screen.
The monitor put on his highly myopic glasses, glared at the screen, and gasped.
"Oh my God."
"This spectral signal."
"This is an overlord-level behemoth?"
But at this point, the signal on the screen disappeared all at once.
The monitor was stunned, and then the whole person almost lay on the workbench, frantically tapping on the keyboard.
He used his authority to call in some ground monitoring equipment to repeatedly scan the area where the spectral signal had just appeared.
But no matter how much he scanned, he didn't get any clues.
It's like, just a computer glitch?
