Chapter 145: Return to Doha
The partisans struggled for fifteen hours in a deserted and uninhabited no-man's land, and finally saw a large area of ruins appear ahead.
Everyone in the team understood that it was the city of Doha after it was destroyed.
In the early morning of July 14 this year, Doha's interstellar city energy defense shield system was suddenly attacked, and it collapsed violently after being hit by the space missiles of the imperial army, and the entire defense shield system was completely destroyed, resulting in sudden changes in the artificial ecological environment under the protection of the defense cover, coupled with the large gap between the air pressure value inside the defense cover and the atmosphere of the Basel star, which instantly triggered an unprecedented gale disaster. In just ten minutes, a violent storm destroyed all the buildings in the entire city.
At the same time, the atmosphere of Basel swept away the oxygen components of the artificial environment almost instantaneously, directly causing the suffocation death of millions of citizens in Doha in a short period of time. In the end, the strong cosmic rays penetrated the atmosphere directly, causing a second very serious damage to the city and its citizens!
This is the "Scarlet July 14" incident that shocked the entire universe world!
Today's Doha city is no longer inhabitable by humans on the surface, and there is no shadow of animal and plant survival at all, and the whole city is now a gray dead city!
Although the city of Doha had appeared in front of them, the people in the procession were not overjoyed or even reacted at all, and they just continued to walk forward in silence.
Now that everyone has at least eight hours left in their oxygen reserves, it is certainly enough to walk from here to the secret base of the partisans in the city of Doha. It was only hunger and fatigue that hit the people in the group hard, and everyone barely spoke much now, holding back the last of their energy, just wanting to reach that final destination as soon as possible.
The wind in the no-man's land is much smaller now, but it still blows on people's bodies!
At this moment, in the wind and sand ahead, more than a dozen small black dots that were moving appeared!
"Fat brother, there seems to be someone in front!" In the mecha communicator of the test machine No. 2, Emma's voice suddenly came out.
Tom was about to fall asleep, and he hadn't eaten for more than fifteen hours in a row, and the fatigue of days of fighting made the fat man tired now. He had been manipulating the mecha with his stiff fingers almost all the time, numbly following the echo electronic mecha leading the way in front of him.
Everyone slept soundly last night, which can be regarded as refreshed. But Tom crawled on Bai Jie's body and fought for almost the whole night, and just squinted at dawn, only to be woken up by Anne and the men in black. The fat man is indeed too tired, he has had a very difficult time these days!
Although in this place where birds don't, both the Glory mecha and the Echo electronic mecha have no radar scanning detection signals, but the radar on the test machine No. 2 just now has obviously given a warning, but the fat man who is dozing off actually didn't notice it at all!
Hearing Emma's reminder, Tom forced himself to pull himself together. He glanced at the virtual screen on the console and was shocked!
Sure enough, the radar showed that more than 2,000 meters ahead, there were fifteen suspected mecha or cars moving rapidly, and the target direction was the center of Doha City!
"Could it be our own people?" Tom looked up at the dozen or so small black dots in the distance and asked Emma suspiciously.
"Not really! They must have seen us, too, but instead of coming, they kept heading towards the city center. If it were our guerrillas, they would definitely come over now, at least to reconnoiter who we really are! Emma replied quickly.
Tom understood that Emma had a point, that he himself had not been in the Glorian guerrillas for a day or two, and of course understood the usual style of action of the guerrillas.
Normally, when a guerrilla mecha unit or transport convoy encounters an unknown team in the wilderness, it will usually send scouts first to follow or test the unknown team to find out the trajectory and purpose of the opponent's movement, so as to ensure the safety of the guerrillas.
But now the team in the distance in front of them has flown away even though they have found five mechs on their side, which has to make people feel very strange.
"What should I do?" Emma asked.
"Leave it alone! Let's find the secret base in Doha first, and send the logistics personnel and their families to it first. Tom saw that three of the five mechs were electronic reconnaissance mechs with little combat effectiveness, and there were dozens of unarmed old and sick people hanging on them, so he immediately gave this reasonable order.
"Who are those?" Bai Jie in Tom's arms also woke up at this time, and she also saw the dozen or so small black dots in the distance just now, and she couldn't help but feel very strange.
"It's not clear now, but it's definitely not ordinary people who can run to this kind of place!" Tom replied as he used the mech's team communication channel to order the team to speed up their progress and try to reach the secret base in Doha City as soon as possible.
Leading the way at the front of the group was an Echo electronic mech, the platoon leader of the electronic mech and a guerrilla who had stayed behind in the warehouse had been to the secret base in Doha City, and the other four mechs, including Test Plane 2, were now following it.
After walking for more than an hour in the strong wind, the five mechs did not directly enter the ruined city of Doha City to ensure safety, but circled around the outer outskirts of the city for a small half circle, and then stopped in front of a huge sand dune.
"It's all buried! What to do? The voice of the electronic mech platoon leader came from the team's communication channel.
"Are you sure this is it?" Tom asked.
People turned their heads to look around, and there was a vast expanse of yellow sand everywhere, and there were no buildings in sight, let alone any signs of life. Now this place is on the outskirts of the city of Doha, at least thirty or forty kilometers away from the ruined city centre.
"I'm sure I'm around here! You see, that is the largest interstellar space port take-off and landing platform in Doha City! ”
Listening to the words of the electronic mecha platoon commander, people turned their heads to look at the downtown area of Doha City, and sure enough, they saw a huge space port standing alone in the distance, which was specially designed for the launch and landing of giant spaceships.
Both Tom and Hakujie remember that they had been there before, just as the Saitan Federation welcomed Taro Tokugawa to visit Basel. At that time, they also saw two violent-flying scorpion mechs from the Vilia Empire.
However, since the place is not wrong, but now it is a vast yellow sand, where is the secret base of the guerrillas?
