Chapter 50: Daoxi Base

The mechanical arm swept over, sending a gust of wind.

Andy rolled away, grabbed the metal branch-like arm and threw the floating robot into the distance, where could the robot resist his strength, rolled and flew to the corner of the wall and smashed into the silver-gray metal wall, looking back at the measles, but he was already standing with his hands tied, the robot's head had been separated from the body and spread on the ground, because of the diversion of attention just now, it was not even clear what means he used.

"Twitter..."

There was a high-pitched, muffled exchange of voices, judging by the complexity of the voices, they were talking, but the voices were indistinguishable and shrill and harsh, like a group of strange monkeys with throat injuries whispering.

The two of them didn't dare to probe, and the power of the energy bullet rain just now could be reflected from the ashes of the corpses that fell to the ground at this moment.

"Who are these people? What kind of weapons did they use? ”

Andy raised two pistols, he was now wearing the metal armor of Hull and Betty, this new set of equipment was very heavy, but the defense was quite strong, he was confident to block a few shots of plasma, but he was not sure about the blue energy bullets fired by those strange guys behind him.

Measles also leaned against the wall, its figure almost hidden by the darkness, only a hoarse voice could be heard.

"I think it's some alien visitors, aliens, the kind of weapons they use... I may have seen some analysis data in the database of the reservation before, it is a very powerful energy weapon, it shoots a high-strength special energy projectile, the body of the projectile is similar to plasma, but after hitting the target, the effect is similar to that of a laser weapon."

The robot that had been thrown out by Andy was suspended in mid-air again with a buzzing sound, and some arcs of electricity flashed on its body, and the electronic eye looked at Gillian who was placed on the ground.

Two bullets were embedded in the robot's head and body, and the light on its body went out, and it fell to the ground without moving.

"Aliens?"

Andy poked out half of his head slightly, and in an instant, a blue energy bullet came, fortunately, the silver-gray metal was very tough and could not be burned through or destroyed by this energy projectile, and could be used as a qualified cover.

"Are you sure? Is there really that kind of guy? ”

Measles picked up a piece of metal on the ground, pinched it with three fingers, and threw it out in a dart throwing technique, only to hear a sharp scream coming from behind.

"Didn't you all teleport here, and you still don't believe it."

Andy rummaged through the Pip-Boys, finding some tear gas, fragmentation grenades, and the like, probably all of which he had picked up in Dog City, and threw them all away, causing chaos after the explosion.

"I'm knowledgeable, the technology of the old world has long been able to achieve teleportation, what is quantum teleportation technology, I have personally experienced."

The tone of the measles was somewhat unexpected.

"ho~ I'm really curious about you, what amazing places have you been to before?"

Before the words fell, a figure rushed in, he was very short, Andy had to look down, his body was extremely thin, with three long soft fingers on his hands, at this moment he was holding a strangely shaped pistol in one hand, and he was carrying an electric baton with flashing electric light in the other, and there were three blue halos at the end of the electric baton.

Under the light of the Pip-Boy, the person was wearing something similar to a spacesuit, as if it was made of some kind of tight-fitting gelatinous material, red and white in color, and on his head was a transparent spherical hood, and the face inside was strangely colored, like an intermediate color between yellow, gray and green, with some brown spots, his head was swollen unnaturally, his eyes were full of anger, resentment, and hostility, and his grinning mouth was full of fangs.

Before it could pull the trigger, Andy had already shot the pistol in its hand away, and by the way, the fragile hemp arm disappeared. The little green man immediately screamed, fell to the ground and rolled repeatedly, even throwing aside the electric baton in his hand, and was bent down by measles to pick it up.

A few more little green men rushed in brandishing weapons in their hands, measles carried the alien electric baton in his hand like a whack-a-mole like a whack-a-mole, and even the spherical hood on his head was blown open by him, and either his head turned into paste on the spot or became lying on the ground as if he was out of breath and gasping for breath, and as for those who were hit by him, their whole body convulsed like a fish or boiled shrimp that had been lifted ashore because of the powerful electric shock.

It seems to be frightened by the situation of the striker's deflatedness, and for a while no new aliens rush in.

"Their bodies are fragile."

Measles took the electric baton in his hand and turned it.

"Very weak, these guys may rely heavily on technological equipment."

Andy kicked the guy who was still rolling on the ground, his body was light and fluttering, and there was not much flesh and bones at all, how much could this kind of guy put on his body, the weight of the equipment alone was enough to make his small body unbearable.

A shot was fired to end the alien's pain, and seeing that there was no movement on the bridge outside, the two walked out slowly, and saw that the guys surrounding the two outside were indeed gone.

Underneath it was a large cavern, presumably underground, with a bridge of silver-gray metal connecting the pillar of light of unknown length, and the other side connected into the distance.

Walking to the bridge, trampling over the incinerated corpses, some of which were not caused by the concentrated fire, but were severely ablated by the high temperature of the projectiles, their bodies seemed to be frozen, in that dehumanized state, many muscles and skin were in the process of changing.

I still don't know what these reptilian shapeshifters are trying to do, they are supposed to have gathered around the flying saucer that sank into the ground with the help of some kind of equipment, through a kind of teleporter that glows blue, but why do they keep taking away humans on the surface and extracting blood? Why do they have to take on the form of humans to get here? It doesn't seem to make much sense to do that...

I can't think of much, so I can only move on, and Gillian, who is sleepy on my back, looks for a way out.

The Pip-Boy suddenly emitted a faint noise, indicating that it had searched for some kind of broadcast signal, and the name of the broadcast signal was: Unnamed Broadcast Signal.

Andy looked left and right to see no more enemies, so he clicked on the radio.

"Rustleβ€”β€”β€”β€”rustle"

After a burst of noise, a low, voice-changer sound came out.

"If you hear this, then you have entered the Daoxi base..."

The electronic sound that does not distinguish between male and female is slowly released.

"This base is currently known to have 7 floors, the further down, the higher the proportion of a certain component in the air, these special air components are to allow them to breathe smoothly, exposure to the earth's atmosphere will cause a great load on their respiratory system, but this component is harmless to humans, but it will be unbearable for people with a keen sense of smell, and you will smell a foul smell beyond your imagination."

Andy listened to the mysterious broadcast as he cautiously walked along the metal bridge under his feet to the opposite side, the end of the bridge seemed to be a square entrance on the rocky mountain wall, I don't know how this huge underground space was created, there were no obvious traces on the rocks on the walls, more like melted cement, but this was not cement, at least visually, it was real hard rock, and rock is difficult to melt.

Measles glanced under the bridge, and there was no bottom.

The voices on the radio continued.

"The SA government acquiesced in their construction of a base underground, just because of the agreement signed by the two sides, the Daoxi base was built by humans and aliens, you should wonder why, in fact, these aliens exchanged high-tech technology in exchange for the right to regularly send flying saucers to the surface to capture life on Earth and bring it back to the underground base for biological experiments."

"You must be tempted to get out, but the nearest exit is on the sixth basement floor... You should go there, and then I will see you, and I will tell you how to get out of here, and for the sake of our fellow humans, our fellow earthlings, you must destroy this place completely, and I will be there waiting for you. ”

This is the end of the recording on the radio, and the cycle goes on and on.

Andy turned off the radio, and at this time they had already walked into the interior of the other end of the bridge, which still looked like the previous high-tech base, with silver-gray metal sheets covering the top, bottom, left and right, and some places that resembled circuits, lights, and switches flashed blue, and the style maintained a high degree of consistency.

"What this guy said reminded me of a lot of old world records that I had read in the database before."

Measles mentions this in a casual tone as he follows Andy.

"The new mS often broke strange news before the war, for example, people often found that the farmer's cattle died inexplicably in the wild, and the death was very strange, the most common one was to find more than 20 dead cattle corpses all over the field at the same time, but these news have never been taken seriously, or deliberately downplayed."

Andy turned off the green lights of the Pip-Boy and moved forward with the help of those blue wall lights.

"What's so strange about a dead cow? It's just that he's sick or killed by some wild beast. ”

Measles smiled and talked about some details.

"The old world is not as good as it is now, there are not so many strange and vicious monsters, it is difficult for ordinary beasts to threaten the herd, if it is infected and died, the characteristics of the carcass will be very obvious, but the carcasses of those cows often do not find a definite cause of death when they are found, their bodies look completely dehydrated but not formed by long-term sun exposure, as if all the liquid has been drained in an instant, and some of the organs and tissues inside their bodies have been removed using some kind of precise equipment, you don't think it's exactly like that...”

"Discarded scraps of test pieces?"

Andy saw something unclear, with a blue glowing ring circulating up and down, it looked like a triangular pyramid made of silver-gray metal, and there seemed to be something in the ends of the three corners, and there was a faint mist wafting around the whole device, not scorching smoke, but more like condensed water vapor.

What does this mean?

"What experiments can you do with a cow? These aliens seem to be so much better at technology than we are. ”

Measles walked up to the triangular cone and looked at it, and tapped the end of the triangle with his finger, and something resembling a small pillar that glowed blue slowly rose from the ground, and he was about to take it off and play with it, but the weak Gillian suddenly raised his head to stop him.

"Don't!"

Andy realizes that Gillian has woken up and lowers her from his back.

Gillian looked anxiously at the measles, pointing to the object in his hand.

"You... Don't you think it's like a nuclear reactor? You may be holding some kind of fuel rod in your hand, which may be very dangerous. ”

Measles retracted his hand when he heard this, looked at the strange equipment in front of him for a while, and found that there were some dark lines around him faintly connected to here, this thing seemed to be really a generator used to supply energy, but the process and principle were very different from the scientific and technological system that humans were familiar with.

"Interesting, if this is a nuclear reactor, or rather a nuclear power generator, then why is it so cold?"

A white mist rises from around the device, not hot smoke, but condensation, which means that the temperature of the device is quite low.

Gillian struggled to her feet, still staggering.

"It doesn't have to be thermal fusion... It's also possible that cold fusion technology, or that they have mastered some kind of... Superior cooling technology reduces the temperature of the operating nuclear reactor to well below room temperature. ”

Measles touched her chin and nodded, as if she thought that what Gillian said made sense, and Andy was confused.

He just quickened Gillian and asked her what had happened before.

"Gillian, what the hell is going on?"

The woman rubbed her forehead with a pained expression.

"That day... I went out to the bathroom that day, and then when I was squatting outside, something grabbed me by the hair, and then a lot of hands with sharp claws took me straight to... Dragged into a cave. Those.. I don't know how to describe the stuff, they, I watched them fix me in a place to draw my blood, and there was a guy who drank my blood and... I began to become what I was. ”

Andy patted her, what Gillian said was pretty much what they already knew, but things are getting more complicated now, they're now escaping from a strange alien base that is completely unknown, and the only hope for guidance is a weird radio recording...

After briefly explaining the situation to her, the three of them began to explore the place, and soon found some dormitories and offices, these things are normal, if the recording in the radio is correct, it seems that this is a place where human employees live, tables, chairs, benches and some subtle traces have signs of human activity, but it seems that the debris here has been systematically processed and destroyed, so there are no useful clues.

When the three of them were scurrying around trying to find the passage, a familiar buzzing sound came, and Andy turned around and saw a robot appear at the other end of the corridor, but there was a strange "drill" fixed on the arm of this robot, he thought it was some kind of industrial robot that was arranged to dig the base, but after seeing a few people, the drill in the robot's hand actually began to flicker and arc.

It's like some kind of energy transmitter, or rather an energy weapon.

"Get out of the way!"

Andy yelled, measles disappeared in a flash, Gillian was in a trance and did not react in time, seeing this scene Andy hurriedly rushed over to pounce on her, but by this time it was already a step too late.

A large faintly blue translucent arc-like mass was launched from the end of the "drill", and with a terrifying threat, it flew in a straight line towards the location of several people.

Andy couldn't dodge it, and tried to push Gillian away at the last moment, and at the last moment he saw Gillian's surprised and confused eyes and distorted air, and then a powerful energy blast exploded behind him, and the loud noise and bright light enveloped everything around him, even the silver-gray metal was twisting and deforming.

"Boom β€”β€”β€”β€”!!!"

There was a loud bang, and a locked door was blown open on the spot, and Gillian and Andy were pushed into it by the shockwave and disappeared, and Measles ran over to see a terrible crack behind the door, and you could see the black solid rock and several floors of the floor below.

After firing a shot, the robot did not stop, and stood in the distance and began to recharge.

Measles glanced at the robot, and saw Andy and the others who had fallen to the floor below, crawling down like a spider.
