As the North Kleist massacre was underway, Blake and his party took advantage of the chaos to escape and head west to Rydberg Peak, 63 kilometers from the city center. The area around Rydberghorn is a typical karst landscape, where carbon dioxide dissolved groundwater has been eroding the limestone for millions of years, creating many caves and sinkholes, and the caves crisscrossing the surface have become a good place for hiding soldiers.

A round of white jade disk hung in the air, starlight from the Milky Way sprinkled on the slightly swaying treetops, and Blake and his party held flashlights and entered the dark cave one by one. The sound of babbling streams and ticking springs lingers in your ears, and the road ahead is unknown and dangerous. As agreed, they will join a resistance force here.

Footsteps were heard from the depths of the cavern, and Blake motioned for everyone to stop and stand on guard. No one can say for sure whether it will be the Resistance or the Olympus' search party that will appear before them.

The footsteps were getting closer, accompanied by bursts of laughter. The voice seemed familiar, having been heard a few months ago, but Blake couldn't remember.

"What about them? We made an appointment, is there a mistake in the address? ”

"Sir, I'm pretty sure it's here, and judging by the location of the last send, they've arrived somewhere nearby."

"That's weird, stay in place!"

Blake poked half of his head out from behind the stalagmite, carefully observing the other man's situation.

There is a lot of space in the cave, and not far ahead, a long team is resting in place, led by a thin officer, it's him! The quartermaster who took in Virgil in the first place!

Surprised, Blake walked out from behind the stalagmites, opened his arms and shouted loudly, everyone hugged each other excitedly, and they were finally no longer alone.

"When the invasion alarm sounded, I thought it was you who attacked, but I didn't expect it...... They were so ruthless! ”

"The North Kleist thing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do."

"It's not your fault," Blake let out a long breath, "I met you, just five months ago, when you were a quartermaster—what's your name?" ”

"My name is Andrew, to be precise, I was not a quartermaster, but a captain in a commando unit who was demoted to the logistics squadron for disobedience to orders. Do you know my team, called the 'Giant Rat' Squadron, and you have also awarded our captain a medal? His name was Marcus, do you remember him, he had a Chinese face, his beard was always shaved and clean, we all called him 'Rat King'. ”

"I remember, I certainly remember, he was a celebrity in the G64. During the Second South American War, he single-handedly destroyed an entire arsenal of the South Pacific Allied countries, for which I awarded him the Crystal Knight Medal, which he deserved—how is he now? ”

"Sacrificed."

"I'm sorry."

"He was killed by an L-1 missile, and after he died, we couldn't even piece together a whole body! You know, he's a good guy. ”

Blake put his hands on his shoulders: "Andrew, you're a soldier!" ”

"I understand."

"You know what to do with your hatred and anger."

"Of course I do."

After a pause, Blake tried to change the subject: "How many people are in your team now." ”

"3,200 people, only some of them came today, and they are all former homeland garrisons."

"You're a good captain."

The two laughed.

"By the way, this is my assistant, Captain Bruce, who is familiar with the arming of Olympus. I was on the same level as him, but he always felt that he lacked leadership skills, and he insisted that I be the commander-in-chief of this unit. Andrew said, patting the back of a short, but smart-looking officer next to him.

Bruce hurriedly stood up and saluted, and Blake smiled back.

"Alright, it's time to get down to business. Colonel Wayne, you greet the Resistance soldiers on my behalf. Blake patted Colonel Wayne on the shoulder and quietly handed him a paper ball, "Andrew, how much do you know about Olympus's activities in the past few months?" ”

"They kill! Kill like crazy! They divide people into three or six according to their intelligence, health, power, and wealth, and the inferior citizens are sent to the slums and live in fear. The slightest negligence on the part of low-level workers is executed, their jobs replaced by machines, and the unemployed homeless are no longer employed, and they have to starve to death without food. The whole planet has been turned into a large concentration camp. ”

"I've seen them all."

"What's more, according to reliable sources, Olympus is carrying out three top-secret projects, and once all three projects are completed, Olympus will completely control the fate of mankind, but we know very little about the specifics of these three projects."

"It's okay, just tell me what you know."

"Well, do you remember the day when the Wehrmacht was wiped out?"

"I was no longer on Earth at that time, but I knew that afterwards the Wehrmacht positions were left with a crater with a radius of 75 kilometers, and the ecosystem near the border was completely destroyed, and judging by the structure of the rock formations, they must have blown through the earth's crust. I've been wondering what kind of weapon is so powerful. ”

"This is the first project, a superweapon called the 'Shuttle' system. On the day that the Wehrmacht was completely annihilated, someone saw a huge ball of light appear in mid-air, the ball of light expanded and exploded, destroying the entire defense line, the clouds within hundreds of kilometers were washed away, and the shock wave circled the earth three times. ”

"These executioners!"

"But we don't know exactly how this so-called 'shuttle' system works or where it gets its energy, only that it is related to an ore called Kuiper Source Crystal, but we have analyzed the geological structure of the entire earth and have not found this ore."

Wait, Kuiper Source Crystal? How could Olympus have Kuiper Source Crystal in his hands? Blake knew this, he knew it too well, he had been involved in Dr. Houghton's secret research during his college years, and knew the power of this ore. Later, because this ore is extremely difficult to mine and preserve, the relevant technology has not been able to break through, for the sake of safety, Dr. Houghton terminated the research and sealed all the data, he understood that the huge energy in the Kuiper source crystal is far beyond the control of the current human being, and if it is not used carelessly, it will lead to the destruction of the human race.

"What about the other two projects?" Blake asked.

"We only know that the second project has to do with the human brain, and the third has to do with the sun, and there is no further information beyond that—Mr. Black, what's wrong with you?" Andrew looked at Blake strangely, he was sitting on a stalactite, gesturing with his fingers.

"I know what Dr. Houghton's last letter meant." Blake jumped up from the stalactites excitedly and said.

"What?"

“Dim11，Nature5…… This is the key, and after the letter is decrypted, it is the activation sequence of the Kuiper Source Crystal! ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Didn't you go to college? Kuiper Source Crystal is a high-energy ore with a KV2D11 structure that must be activated in a specific way, have you ever studied the course 'General Relativity and Chemical Topology', if so, you should know! Do you know why you haven't been able to find the Kuiper Source Crystal, why do you think it's called that, because there is no one on the earth, only the Kuiper Belt 20 billion kilometers away, don't tell me you don't even know where the Kuiper Belt is! ”

"I'm sorry, sir, I joined the army right out of high school."

"Okay, okay, it's not your fault, give me two squads, and I'll go at once. Colonel Wayne stays here, Virgil comes with me, and Bruce, I need your help. ”

"Uncle Blake, you have finally agreed to take me with you, and the sun is coming out of the west. I wonder if you mind spoiling it in advance? Virgil's heart was full of surprises.

"Why do you talk so much! I didn't have time to explain, so I set off right away. Destination: Aleutian principality, the city of Haydn. ”

Colonel Wayne watched the back of Blake and his party go away, walked alone to a thick stalagmite and opened the paper ball, which was full of messy lines, Wayne pondered carefully for a long time before distinguishing a line of extremely scribbled flower characters from a pile of lines:

Plan B, communication, agreement, start implementation in half an hour
