Chapter 165: Joint Mission
Yang Cheng has been cultivating in the Explorer Corps for almost half a month.
Half a month later, Yin Lin, who had not been in touch, finally took the initiative to send a message to Yang Cheng.
The Guardian Corps is to carry out a joint mission with the Explorer Corps, and the Guardian Corps has Gu Chen there.
And she also got some research materials, which she encrypted and placed on Heitu Street, the roof of the building that Yang Cheng rented before.
Seeing the news, the corners of Yang Cheng's mouth showed an unpredictable smile.
It seems that Yin Lin has almost digested the three views he instilled, and he no longer feels that what he did was Yang Cheng persecuting and betraying the tower.
Yang Cheng didn't urge and coerce her in the past half a month, if Yin Lin was resisting, she wouldn't take the initiative to explain the news of the task, and give the information to Yang Cheng.
And this woman is sometimes quite brainy, for fear that too close contact with herself will cause suspicion, so she deliberately encrypts the information and puts it on the first layer to wait for herself to get it.
Yin Lin is afraid that she has already substituted herself into the role now, and she is unconsciously doing things for Yang Cheng.
Of course, she might think she's saving the Tower.
When he went to get Yin Lin's research materials, Yang Cheng also went to Lao Zhao by the way.
Lao Zhao's movements were still very neat, and he got everything Yang Cheng wanted in less than half a month.
Looking at those nominally scrapped instruments, Yang Cheng was surprised: "These things still look very new, how can they be considered scrapped instruments?" β
Lao Zhao said with a smile: "The Tower Research Institute is very rich, and the managers of those laboratories are professors who are dedicated to studying various sciences, so they don't care about the mess of good or bad instruments."
So of course, the assistants in charge of this in the laboratory will have the opportunity to operate it.
If they don't replace their instruments and equipment often, where do they get so much scrapped equipment for money? β
Although the Tower is now claimed to be the only spark of hope for humanity in the apocalypse, in fact the spark is already crumbling.
The people at the bottom are miserable, and the people at the top are corrupt.
If it weren't for the lack of strength, I'm afraid this tower would have been overturned long ago.
Back on the second level, it seemed as if the people of the Explorer Legion were gathering.
When Duanmu Ci and Tang Lu saw Yang Cheng, they immediately beckoned him over.
"I was still thinking about informing you that there was a mission from above, and I was ready for a meeting."
Yang Cheng nodded, and followed Duanmu Ci and Tang Lu into the headquarters building.
This time, because it was necessary to go on a mission, all the soldiers of the Explorer Corps in the tower were assembled, and there were seven or eight hundred people.
Because Yang Cheng was the captain of the major's squad, he also stood in the forefront.
Dillon still looked half-dead and lazy, but it didn't come as a surprise that the rest of the Explorer Corps seemed to have adapted to their boss's approach.
"This time there is an urgent mission from above, which requires us to carry out it jointly with the Guardian Corps.
You should have heard of the leader of the large mutant violent group in No-Man's Land No-Man's Seven, 'Tyrant' Jaguil.
Recently, this guy's strength has skyrocketed, and he has become more and more lawless.
Just two days ago, Jaguil actually killed a squad of the Guardian Corps, and captured a researcher from the Tower Research Institute alive, forced him to ask for some of the blueprints of the other party's weapon manufacturing, and brutally killed him.
So this time, the upper echelons of the tower decided to go all out and completely wipe out the Jaguil organization. β
Tang Lu wondered below: "Then isn't it enough for our Explorer Corps to shoot directly, what are those guys from the Guardian Corps doing when they get involved?"
Could it be that when we were killing people on the sidelines, they were there to applaud us and cheer us on? Then they'll have to wear miniskirts. β
Dillon glared at Tang Luo and scolded, "Shut up! Sooner or later, you kid will die on that mouth of yours!
The Guardian Corps is not the same as ours, we are responsible for the destruction of Jagill, and they are mainly escorting a group of researchers to the mines occupied by Jaguil.
Jaguil's strength has grown by leaps and bounds, and there is a suspicion that he has found some precious veins. β
Tang Tao pursed his lips and said: "Cut, we still come to the job of sending emotions to death, they pick up cheap in the back, this is not as good as cheerleading." β
Yang Cheng was behind Tang Lu and asked in a low voice, "Why doesn't everyone seem to be willing to cooperate with the Guardian Corps?" β
Tang Tao said disdainfully: "Send us to death, take the credit, and exchange it for you, are you willing?" And when they perform tasks together, they will be looked down upon.
The members of the Guardian Corps rarely go out of the tower, and once they do get out of the tower, the most important task they perform is to escort the professors or researchers of the Tower Research Institute into the no-man's land to carry out various scientific research projects.
Do you know why these tasks aren't our turn to be done by the Explorers? β
Yang Cheng shook his head, in fact, this was also what he was puzzled about.
Although the Guardian Corps has a large number of people, they are pampered, even if they are not inferior to the Explorer Corps in terms of strengthening, they are definitely inferior in experience and combat effectiveness.
Therefore, this kind of escort task can actually be handed over to the explorer corps, which is undoubtedly more secure.
It seems that the last time a team of the Guardian Corps protected Yin Lin into the Darkless Desert to hunt samples of some mutated creatures, it was actually not too difficult work.
As a result, a mutated earth dragon can directly wipe out a small team, which is simply a weak chicken.
If you change to an explorer team of the same strength, you can escape with all your beards and tails even if you can't beat them.
Tang Lu sneered: "It's very simple, because of distrust!"
The researchers were all graduates of the University of the High Tower, and each of them was very valuable, unlike us mud legs, let alone professors who could create powerful weapons and genetic potions.
The information they had in their heads was extremely precious, and the tower was afraid that something would happen to them.
Therefore, the work of personal guards is done by the Guardian Corps, who are of innocence and have been educated in the tower since childhood, and of course they can be trusted.
As for us, we can only do some menial work of fighting and killing. β
Dillon glared at Tang Yang Cheng above, and snorted lightly: "As soon as the meeting starts, you whispered, did you say it or did I say it?"
Seeing that you are so interested in this mission, it is up to you to carry it out.
Tang Xi, Yang Cheng, and Duanmu Ci, you are all included in the sequence of this mission! β
Duanmu Ci stood beside the two of them with an inexplicable expression.
I haven't said a word since I came here, it's these two people chatting below, what do you care about?
Exterminating the 'tyrant' Jaguil is one of the larger ones in the mission of the Explorer Corps, so Dillon directly sent five detachments, more than 200 soldiers from the Explorer Corps, and a deputy commander to lead the team.
This kind of number is already a lot, and under normal circumstances, the Explorer Corps is dispatched in small teams, and a detachment is already a big deal.
This time, the five detachments went out together, and it was obvious that the upper echelons of the tower were really angry and were ready to level Jaguil in one fell swoop.
After gathering the manpower, the Explorer Corps officially set out on the second day.
This was the first time Yang Cheng had seen the tower's true heavy firepower.
More than a dozen large steel chariots, each of which was larger than two or three tanks combined.
These vehicles will not be equipped with conventional weapons, but will be equipped with various missiles, howitzers, and laser weapons.
Several huge armed fighters hovered in the sky, with a streamlined body and a length of more than ten meters, and the fuselage was full of various laser-guided weapons.
However, these things are not controlled by the Explorer Corps, but by special people in the Guardians.
At this time, more than 200 people of the Guardian Corps also gathered on a large personnel carrier in the rear, well-equipped, with all kinds of weapons and equipment, almost armed to the teeth.
Compared to them, the Explorer Corps is undoubtedly much shabby here, like a group of militia.
Looking at those steel chariots and armed warplanes, Tang Lu pursed his lips disdainfully: "Cut, who are you scaring with this pile of goods?" β
Yang Cheng was puzzled: "What kind of goods? Aren't these weapons the Tower's top technology?
Even a fourth-order genetic modifier can't stop a heavy firepower concentration of this scale, right? β
Tang Lu sneered: "These things are indeed the top technological ensembles of the tower, but more than a hundred years ago, these things already existed in the tower.
Now more than a hundred years have passed, but there is not one more tank, not one more fighter.
Even if it is necessary to dispatch them, at most it is a few shots and pretends, and it is still necessary to rely on small arms and us genetic warriors to solve the battle. β
"Why?"
Duanmu Ci answered on the side: "Because of insufficient resources, the high-level is reluctant to let these precious things really go to the battlefield.
What the Tower lacks now is not technology, but resources.
Drawings of aircraft carriers were thrown like waste paper in the library on the top floor of the tower, because it was impossible for the tower to build such a large-scale weapon of war.
To build it, it requires a centralized central government, the Planning Commission, the Military Industrial Commission, the Ministry of Defense Industry, 600 technical personnel of relevant professions, 8,000 supporting manufacturers, and millions of serious workers!
In short, it takes a great country to get it done.
And the tower is now considered a country?
Therefore, the tower has been used for more than 300 years, and it has only made these faΓ§ade things, and even because of the lack of resources, it does not dare to use too strong firepower.
Otherwise, the price of the missile, as well as the maintenance cost of the high-power laser weapon after one launch, they will feel distressed. β
Duanmu Ci rarely said so many things at once, but at this time, he said it with a little anger.
Obviously, for the top magnates of the tower, these weapons of mass destruction are very expensive, and they will feel distressed with a single shot.
But the low-level soldiers are very cheap, and they can be recruited again if they die anyway, and the high-level genetic potions are rare, but the second-order genetic potions are not difficult to make for the tower.
This disregard for human life at the bottom is the main reason for the division between the top and bottom of the tower.
