Hand!

But he was also politely "invited" out.

Whether or not the central control core of the greenhouse was broken because of Bai Er, this unexpected visitor to the outsider means ominous.

Satisfied, Bai Er walked all the way through the somewhat bleak-looking barracks and returned to the tent where his team was staying.

As soon as he returned to the barracks, he heard a slightly ridiculous and flirtatious voice sound, "Bai Er and idle people are not allowed to enter." ”

Looking at the voice, I only found Rose's smiling face that was obviously teasing.

"I'm just going to see ......" Bai E was serious and changed the subject, "How did I see that there were not many people in the barracks on the way back, why did they go?" ”

"The last big drill." Yuzu, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly explained.

She is responsible for all matters related to the handover between the team and the army, and she is sensitive enough to the wind and grass in the barracks.

"Huh?" The stone looked up in confusion and made a puzzled sound.

"The military is ready for the final showdown with the Black Rock Worm Hive, so the drills for all the soldiers in the barracks are even more than before. The nearby threat points have been largely cleared, and the army, which has been divided into several teams, is now clearing the 'tentacles' that protrude from each other in various places around the hive. ”

With the recent multiple sorties against the Zerg, the military department has enough knowledge of the new types of bugs that have emerged in the Zerg.

The clean-up of the hive is inevitable, and the military's enthusiasm has never been as high as it is today.

"So there's not much time left for us to move freely, and when we took over the mission just now, the commander said that we would have seven more days at most, and we would have to return to our respective combat formations."

It is true that the White Cause team is indeed a special team, but because of their particularity, White Cause and Rose are also the chief pilots of the mecha company, which is the highest priority in the barracks.

Without the captain and the main combat force, the special squad has no real name, and can only cooperate with other special squads on the frontal battlefield.

"Hmm......" Bai E frowned slightly.

The prelude to the great counteroffensive was not known only this time, but it was only now that a definite time frame was given.

'Seven days?' ’

It's enough.

Take a walk around Dawn Town, and you'll be able to build the basics for them all.

I only hope that in the process of going back and forth now, those aborigines will work hard enough to restore some of the key functional buildings in the town, so that when they go back, they can immediately start building a modern industrial food production system.

The sound of shredding sounded in the quiet tent.

"I don't know if it will work out this time." Stone sat on his bed and sounded like he was muttering to himself.

This was not just his thinking, but also the thinking of the five members of the squad and even everyone in the barracks.

It is not surprising that the military department has made plans for a decisive battle, the information of this era is not transparent, there is no guaranteed war, and there is always every effort to prepare, and then fight.

But whether it can win or not, no one knows.

Even if the battle is won, the Black Rock Worm Hive is only the closest nest to the city, not all the Zerg in this world.

And the Black Rock Hive isn't even the largest of the known hives.

Winning the battle in front of us does not mean that the world will be at peace and mankind will be safe from now on.

Now that Bai Er, who has higher expectations for himself, he is not only concerned about the present.

But it's not easy to ignore the present.

"Do your best." Bai E sighed softly, and his firm voice drove away the confusion for his teammates.

The power of the individual always seems small on the large battlefield, and in the final analysis, you can only do your best.

At a time when almost everyone in the barracks was burdened with combat missions, the departure of a small special squad did not cause the slightest wave.

The team that simply returned to the camp to take a process and then took on another task and left in a hurry rushed to the wilderness ruins that were being developed.

The small tasks that come with it are...... Clean up the Robot Mining Vehicle.

Mining is a resource in the world that is difficult to regenerate and that all forces need to compete for.

However, from a racial point of view, bugs and orcs have little interest in the mines, and only the sapient machines and humans have a direct conflict in this regard.

Everyone takes turns collecting a mining area, basically in the cycle of cleaning up each other's mining sites and stealing mining.

Especially now that most of the human forces are concentrated in this general attack on the Zerg, the armed forces in the mining area are seriously insufficient, and the mining team has sent letters of help back to the barracks one after another.

The military region does not expect a special team of only five or six people to be able to directly clean up the large mining sites of the intelligent machine, but there is a minecart team dedicated to stealing ore in the intelligent machine, which is the goal of the Baie team's trip.

Directly north of the city, a huge mountain range stretches out from the cold Arctic winds blowing from the north.

There are countless mineral resources beneath the entire mountain range, and even the mountains have been permanently reshaped over the years of development.

High ridges are sometimes separated from the pitch-black abysses, and parts of the mountains seem to have been combed into a large and neat ravine.

It's not easy to find the thieves who steal the mines in such a difficult terrain, but even if it's a casual task, it has to be fruitful.

……

The off-road vehicle swayed on the gray ground, and Bai Er sat by the window, looking in the far direction, a little distracted.

"What are you looking at?" Rose glanced in the rearview mirror of the car and asked casually curiously.

"Over there." Bai E lifted his chin, "That's where we met Nova and them. ”

That's right, the way from Blackwater City to the ore vein is actually not far from the target point of the last mission: the signal base station or the intelligent machine fortress.

Both are to the north of the city, except that the Wisdom Fortress is slightly westerly.

The distance on the map is actually too close to the sight.

Although Bai E looked in that direction, he couldn't actually see the familiar base station.

In that base station, he also left behind the supreme authority that belonged to himself and Rose.

After they completed their mission last time, it is not known if the military has sent troops to occupy it...... Or was it taken back by the sapient machine?

The thought flashed in his heart, Bai E raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said, "Go over and take a look." ”

With a sharp turn in direction, the buggy turned lightly.

Rose immediately obeyed Bai E's instructions unconditionally, and then asked, "What?" Got an idea? ”

At the beginning of the departure, they discussed how to complete the "small tasks" that they took on this time, but according to the experience of their predecessors, they could only try their luck.

There must be a mine stealing squad, and those smart machines are more stubborn than anyone else.

But whether you can touch it, when you can meet it, and the specific size of the scale of the encounter depends on luck.

If it's really just for a mission, then it's a matter of trying your luck in the mountains.

But they came out to do the task just under the guise, and it was the right thing to go to Dawn Town to develop their own foundation.

Miscellaneous things other than business are naturally less time-consuming.

Bai E is now making unexpected moves, presumably because he has some idea of his own.

"Hmm......" Bai Er narrowed his eyes and nodded.

A dangerous thought was brewing in my mind and growing more and more.

Since you want to do it, it's better to do it bigger.

I'm already going to find trouble with the Intelligence, so why just go for trouble with a minecart stealing cart roaming the wild?

Do you remember what you had in you that you had to get from the machine?

Computing resources!

After obtaining the virtual world, the virtual world is really strong for its ability to replenish mana during battle, but at the same time, it ...... The demand for computing resources in the virtual world is also rigid.

Especially after the last battle with the orc's war boss, Bai Er felt even more ...... from his own soul Or in other words, the deep sea of knowledge, the core of the spiritual energy storage space, the suction that emanates.

That suction is gradually increasing, and if he can't meet the needs of the other party anymore, Bai E doesn't know what the consequences will be.

Is it to start sucking your own psionic energy or even your soul? Or is it a complete separation from oneself, even if it is divided and both are lost?

I don't know, and Bai Er doesn't really want to wait until that day.

At the same time, it is impossible for me to live in the place where the birds don't all the time in the ruins of the server fleet, so it is imperative to obtain those small crystal-cube-like "computing resources" that can only be stably produced by intelligent machines.

Where there are computing resources, there must be a structure of the smart machine stationed, and when the time comes, just take some pictures of the battle with the smart machine and some loot back to hand it over, and the task will be completed, killing two birds with one stone.

So if the last base station is occupied by the smart machine again, then knock it down again.

Even if those intelligent machines are not occupied again, they can use that independent signal base station to give their virtual world a full meal and relieve the embarrassment of "starvation" for a long time.

After the off-road vehicle turned around, it was only a little more than two hours of driving, and the familiar base station exterior wall could already be seen in the distance.

At that time, they were in a hurry, and they did not destroy the basic building of the intelligent machine, and now that they have returned, the bunker is still the same.

The car stopped beside a nearby rock pillar, and Rose easily climbed onto it, holding up the telescope hanging from her chest to look at the bunker, "as if there was no sign of the machine...... There was no sign of anyone either. ”

No one?

"No!"

Someone...... Or that there are traces of activity.

Traces of tracked vehicles, fresh.

Bai Er's pupils dilated again from a contracted appearance, and when he turned around, he jumped off the rock pillar several meters high.

"Let's go, just grab it back."

The military doesn't seem to have the strength to send a large number of guards here, and the traces of those tracked vehicles are exactly the same as the ones they killed last time, which means that this base station has fallen into the hands of the robots again.

But probably because of the big loss last time, the first generation of wisdom machines is obviously an extremely precious existence in the group of wisdom machines, and this time the wisdom machine guards of the wisdom machine fortress are quite weak, and they are all shrinking.

Playing a tugging war with humans, the gamble is that humans are on fire everywhere and there are not enough manpower.

This is a traditional art that can be said to be a convention between intelligent machines and humans.

Once again, the White Er team, which was planning to regain the base station, advanced by leaps and bounds.

Last time, the other party had the first generation of intelligent machines in charge, and even the garrison force was extremely strong, and the people who acted with them even wanted to eat their own two or five boys.

Now that the opponent's strength has been greatly reduced, his own strength has increased instead of decreasing, and taking down the fortress guarded by only a small number of new generation intelligent machines can be said to be like picking up things.

He didn't even get in a car, and with the intelligent artillery that discovered the enemy's situation, Bai Er rushed into the fortress alone and carried a war insect knife.

The infinite spiritual energy and the basic attributes that have just been suddenly improved by a large number make Bai Er look like a real god of war.

When the SUV rushed close behind Bai Er, he found several explosive sparks rising above the bunker.

The highest authority is still there, and even smart machines can't break the technical barriers of the golden age from the bottom.

When it is recognized that it is Bai Er, the door of the base station automatically opens.

In-room ...... Empty.

Only a small number of blank crystal blocks are quietly stacked in the corners.

The fresh tracks he saw before entering the fortress flashed in front of his eyes, and the image of the departing transport convoy loaded with finished computing resources flashed in front of Bai Er's eyes as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"It's a step too late......"

The finished product had already been shipped away, and there was no point in asking for those blank crystal blocks.

"How?" Rose was the first to rush into the base station and came behind Bai E.

Bai Er's eyes narrowed, and a dangerous glow flashed in his pupils.

The target of the departure of the smart machine transport vehicle must be the smart machine base that I guessed last time.

There is a first-generation intelligent machine guarding a signal base station in the wild, will there be one or two first-generation intelligent machines in their old home?

But if it's a smart machine base...... Computing resources are also more, right?

Bai E doesn't want to come to these iron bumps for trouble when he has nothing to do, the other party is not annoying, he is still annoying.

What's more, he is not absolutely free in the city, if he doesn't store enough supplies, what should he do when the virtual world is really "hungry" to the extreme?

Either you don't do it, or if you want to do it, you can do it with a big vote!

Of course, the almost infinite burst of spiritual energy now is his greatest source of confidence.

Bai E made a decision, "Let's take a little rest, and then we'll chase!" ”
