Chapter 52: Detachment

Running around the base in a silvery gray metal, some magical facilities appear around from time to time.

For example, the rings of metal instruments arranged in parallel next to it are glowing with blue rays of blue light, and I don't know what they do, but I have seen many of them along the way.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a plop behind him.

Andy hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he saw Gillian lying on the ground, and measles nearly tripped over her.

"What's wrong?"

"She's bleeding, presumably wounded."

Measles pointed his finger at Gillian's flank, blood oozing out.

Andy ran over and pulled her shirt open, and saw a deep cut, blood still pouring out.

Gillian, who had been weakened by blood loss, was now pale as if she were dead, only this time she at least did not pass out.

"When was it hurt?"

Andy observed that it was not caused by the energy weapon in the hands of the aliens, which would directly scorch the wound, and there would be no possibility of bleeding at all.

"I don't know.... Perhaps... When the blood was drawn before, or when I fell off this floor... I don't even feel it.."

She spoke with difficulty, her eyes drifting for a while.

"Water... water..."

Andy knew that this was caused by excessive blood loss, so he immediately took out a bottle of Jericho's clean water and gave it to her, and wanted to give her a treatment injection again, but when he looked at the beep-beep boy, he found that dozens of treatment needles were all missing, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was estimated that he was continuously injected by Hull to the point of approaching lethality during the previous injury, thanks to his amazing endurance, otherwise he would have been poisoned by the needle in this bastard's clothes sooner or later.

"I don't have any more injections, measles, do you have any of them?"

Measles lifted up the crippled hand, which was missing a few fingers.

"I have all the ones for myself, you didn't even say that you cared about me, and now you still care about me for treatment needles? In order to save this slave I put all my fingers on it, if it was just broken I would still be able to pick it up myself, but my precious fingers were burned to ashes, and I could only use two fingers to take things in the future, have you noticed this? I don't think you have it, you know, needles can't cure disability. ”

He raised his hand, Andy was speechless when he said this, measles really has no reason to come down, he is also considered to have made outstanding achievements along the way, without his help, whether Andy can finally get here smoothly is still two words.

"I'm sorry... But if you just leave her alone..."

Gillian tugged at Andy, and she pointed to the glowing metal rings that lined up vertically on the side.

"Try that... They should use this stuff a lot... I think... It's like something... Disinfect the arches. ”

Andy hesitated and sent Gillian into the arch, and for a moment the blue light of the arch was intense, and Gillian suddenly let out a soft sigh of comfort, and the condition of the wound seemed to be eased; Seeing that this thing was really harmless, Andy also stretched out his arm and put it under the light, and there was an extra hint in the status bar of the beep boy.

However, this is still a drop in the bucket.

Gillian struggled to sit up, barely looking at the outermost part of the arch where it seemed to be a control node.

"I think this thing is some kind of healing device, and in that case it must have a regulating valve that adjusts the amount of power... I... See if you can adjust it to the highest level. ”

She fiddled with it for a while, and the glow of the arches suddenly turned red.

Andy raised his pistol to guard the rear, and was a little worried when he saw the light change color.

"Are you sure it's okay to do that? It looks like the auto-doctor has malfunctioned, and it claims to be some kind of advanced healing machine, but it's also a good hand at killing people. ”

Without hesitation, Gillian stepped into the arch again, explaining as she went.

"No... This red is not a fault light, I think it's a kind of cue color, when I increase it to the highest power, this machine may be damaged after one use... But the effect will be multiplied. ”

Gillian walked into the light and quickly straightened up, her face even recovering a little.

As she expected, the machine exploded with sparks and then completely extinguished its light, apparently broken and unusable.

"It's amazing..."

Measles watched for a moment, a little surprised by Gillian's mechanical skills and alien technology, but he quickly stepped out of the emotion and turned to look at Andy, who was the only one who had the Pip-Boy and was connected to the mysterious voice.

"Did that guy tell you where we're going next?"

Andy knocked on the beep boy, and the communication was interrupted at some point, and just when he was at a loss, with a burst of snow and noise, the communication was restored again, and the picture of Shelley's face appeared on the screen, along with his not-so-pleasant electronic sound.

"Hello guys, there was a signal problem between us due to a little interference from the alien general, but I've solved the problem, and now you need to keep going until you see the teleporter, but before that we have to reach the base's secondary reactors, and after destroying them, we can put an end to their plot once and for all."

Gillian looked at Shelley's avatar on the Pip-Boy with an expression of disbelief.

"Are you crazy? Sabotage of the reactor? How do we destroy? How can we ensure our own safety after the destruction? ”

Shelley replied in a voice that was neither hurried nor slow, as usual.

"From what I understand of these alien energy technologies, the secondary reactor they use has three coolant injection devices inserted around it, and these coolant injection devices will be extremely fragile once the protective shell is ejected, and can be easily destroyed even with bare hands, and after all three coolant injection devices are destroyed, you have a few minutes to stay away from the reactor and avoid the explosion. Rest assured, the reactor is highly secure, and even if the coolant injection fails and an explosion occurs, the power of the explosion and the nuclear leakage that occurs are highly controllable, and the probability of damage to your body is extremely low. ”

Gillian didn't say anything more, just her face still full of suspicion.

But Andy has a stomach to ask.

"We'll get over it, but you're going to tell us something."

Shelley didn't seem to care about it.

"Please, my fellow, just don't waste too much time."

Andy thought for a moment, starting from the most basic question, and in the process they were talking while moving in the direction of Shelley's mark, probably because of the special structure and a large number of shape equipment here, the Pip-Boy's guiding function was also limited.

"Where do these aliens come from? What the hell are they? ”

"I don't know exactly, but they arrived on Earth before the 14th century, and in the past observations, they have at least two giant motherships cruising in low-earth orbit and a large number of sub-boats, and they have several underground research bases around the world, especially within the territory of the SA, and their high-tech products have contributed to the SA's pre-war scientific and technological leap in some well-documented crashes and top-secret official deals, and the bodies found in some of the crashed flying saucers have been secretly dissected, Data from Area 51 and Kirtland Air Force Base indicate that they have multiple physical problems, that these organisms did not evolve naturally, and that their genetic and tissue composition suggest that they are most likely a manufactured organism. ”

"Manufactured? Who made it? ”

"One possible guess is that a race called 'Celestial Dragons' in the past, which is believed to be a proto-Earth species that developed into a highly civilized earth on Earth in the ultra-ancient period, chose to leave en masse in order to escape extreme natural disasters, and the traces they left behind were either destroyed by natural disasters or deliberately covered up."

Andy suddenly remembered the information mentioned in the holographic cassette he had found from a dead man.

"Don't tell me they're coming back to Earth later."

"Guess accurately, the 'Celestial Dragon' returned to Earth tens of thousands of years ago in some giant club-shaped and bow-shaped spacecraft, and tried to domesticate humans into a servant race that believed in them as gods, and the mysteries of human ancestors and ancient human civilization came from their interference, but because the number of this 'Celestial Dragon' was too small, they chose to combine with some humans in order to maintain their domination and give birth to half-blood offspring, and these half-blood descendants eventually betrayed." The gods' and erase all traces of their existence once and for all. ”

"That's... Those little green men or minions who are chasing us... Or maybe it's called the little gray man? Anyway, whatever they're called, what are they made for? ”

"There are many uses, these aliens are actually just an organic robot produced by the 'Celestial Dragon', they are responsible for collecting resources, processing minerals, searching for information, and all the work that is considered unnecessary to be personally conducted by them is eventually transferred to their hands, which also makes them master more and more technology and have other thoughts, and finally ignore the betrayal of the 'Celestial Dragon' on the ground. One of the most famous betrayals, and the beginning of a series of betrayals, was when a half-breed severed the external genitalia of the leader of the 'Draco', causing him to hang a golden rod under his crotch and not be able to enjoy sexual intercourse, and as punishment, the betrayer's brain was sucked alive. ”

Andy's brow furrowed as he walked forward as he remembered what he had heard in the murals and holocassettes he had seen earlier...

Measles listened and suddenly snorted coldly.

"I don't know where these skinny hemp poles in spacesuits came from, but what you said must be nonsense, because those stories are all old-world conspiracy theories and hypotheses, and the content is inseparable, and they are lies made up by people, and I really don't know what the truth is, but I know that what you say is definitely not the truth."

Shelley was silent for a moment, his tone still not fluctuating.

"Believe it or not is up to you, and what I say is what I think is the truth."

Andy gestured to measles and motioned for him to stop talking, after all, he still had to rely on this guy to lead the way, and he really didn't know how to get out of this hellish place.

"Let's talk about something else, the cows... What are they hunting for those cows and other creatures? Is it really just a matter of collecting data after dissection? ”

"These aliens have fundamental problems with their bodies, you may notice that they are extremely vulnerable, which leads them to be very interested in the large mammals on Earth, the cattle are large and not easily noticed, and they are very suitable for experiments, and the organs of the Earth mammals secrete a variety of complex compounds that are of high value to these aliens, and they can use them to synthesize all kinds of drugs that can solve their physical problems, and even go one step further to create bodies that are more suitable for their activities. For this reason, they have been actively abducting humans, simply because humans are the most advanced mammals on the planet. ”

"Making a body?!"

"Yes, these aliens have a fundamentally different view of the mind than we do, and they have been trying to replace their mind into a more perfect body, and this attempt has been unsuccessful for a long time."

Shelley paused for a moment, accentuating his tone.

"But, now that they're very close, the base you're treading on is one of their largest biological testing grounds, and in the cell on the seventh floor there are a large number of living creatures, which I call 'abomination', these creatures have undergone many generations of transformation and adjustment, and their physical fitness has reached terrifying levels, if their plan finally succeeds, they will inevitably launch a full-scale invasion of the Earth again, and this time they will be unstoppable."

Measles heard something wrong.

"You say another aggression? Does it mean that they have already invaded before? ”

"Yes."

Shelley's tone was the same as ever.

"It has been 176 years since the Great War, and the collapse of human society with the devastation brought about by nuclear war, and the loss of control in most of the region, which gives them an opportunity, 150 years ago they launched an invasion in the east of the SA, but that aggression was repelled by us and our allies, but at the moment it seems that the region may not have sufficient numbers and capable partners, so I must seize the opportunity to nip this scourge in the bud, you have a heavy mission, That is the fate of humanity. ”

......................

Eventually, the group arrived at a large, glowing pillar similar to the one they had been teleported to.

"And after that?"

Andy glanced left and right, and there were several alien robots lying on the ground.

"The third room on your right is the generator room, I am deciphering the location coordinates of the teleporter for you to help you leave the Daoxi base, in the meantime, please destroy those generators as soon as possible, the voltage instability will cause the seventh layer to completely lose control, and this base will also usher in its end."

Several people immediately rushed to the room, according to Shelley's words, pressed the three metal protrusions around the generator, and sure enough, there were small light blue pillars slowly rising, after the destruction, the generator sounded a burst of ominous sounds, and exploded after a few minutes, indeed as Shelley said, as long as you keep your distance, you will not be hurt.

Just as they were finishing, Shelley's voice sounded just right.

"Okay, the decryption of the teleporter has been completed, you will be teleported directly to the surface, according to the data stored in your beep boy, your previous location is close to the SA Kirtland Air Force Base, and using this facility will allow you to leave here immediately, but due to the program restrictions triggered during the cracking process, you can only leave one by one, and the interval between each person's use is 10 minutes."

Andy frowned, glanced at the measles, and told Gillian to use the teleporter to get out of here after he said it didn't matter.

Gillian glanced back at Andy, who didn't know what she was trying to say, hesitated, and was about to urge her, when a burst of terrible footsteps suddenly came, like heavy metal trampling on the metal floor.

"Let's go!"

Andy finally shouted that he couldn't care about Gillian anymore, because an exaggerated guy had already rushed in.

It was supposed to be an alien dressed in similar power armor gear, its head still a bloated yellow-green head in a spherical glass cover, and its eyes gleamed with an evil light, except that its body was now a steel body more than two meters high, holding a large, uniquely shaped pistol in one hand, and a stout metal stick with yellow arcs and lights flashing at the end in the other.
