Chapter 147: The Base Under the Sand
The electronic mecha platoon commander immediately reported to his corporal battalion commander Tom after reading the gestures and code words of the little man below, and Tom of course agreed to the other party's communication request.
The electronic mecha platoon leader skillfully operated the communication channel of the team on his side, and then smoothly connected with the little man's beast-shaped mecha, and then a girl's voice immediately came from the communicator on Tom's ear.
"Hey! Is it Tom? ”
Tom was surprised to hear that he could call his name. In this wilderness, where birds don't pull eggs, how can anyone know themselves?
However, Tom is very careful now, because he has just encountered a dozen mysterious little black spots on the outskirts of Doha.
Strange in his heart, Tom did not immediately answer the other party's question, but asked, "Who are you?" How to know the sign language of the guerrillas? Also, how do you know my name? be honest! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will open fire! ”
The girl heard Tom's unkind tone, but she didn't get angry, just giggled, and said, "King Tom, what are you fierce!" I am the reconnaissance liaison officer of the Doha city detachment of the Gloria guerrillas, my name is Niya! I was sent by the head of the Sophia branch to meet you! ”
At this time, the girl's virtual avatar also appeared on the communication screen of the five mechas, and Emma and the platoon commander of the Echo electronic mecha platoon immediately recognized her, saying that they had known this liaison officer named Nia before.
Tom pursed his lips and said, "I've never heard of a liaison officer in our guerrilla team who doesn't even have Mao'er. ”
As soon as these words came out, this time the girl named Nia finally got angry, and she yelled at Tom in the team channel: "King Tom! Don't go too far! Hurry up and follow me, the head of the Sophia branch is still waiting for you! ”
With that, the liaison officer named Nia got back into the cockpit of the beast-shaped mech and crawled towards the sand pile in the distance.
The five mechs on Tom's side also hurriedly followed, and the logistics personnel and family members of the dozens of guerrillas behind had no choice but to advance on foot at this time, and they also slowly followed.
At this time, the beast-shaped mecha that looked like a sandworm no longer hid itself under the sand, but crawled directly on the sand, so that the five guerrilla mechs behind could follow it from behind.
After a few mechs walked a distance of about a thousand meters, the sandworm-shaped mech stopped, and then began to burrow in the sand with two giant drills mounted on its front paws.
Tom looked at it in the back and thought it was quite a novelty, so he asked in the team channel, "Is Sophia hiding in a coffin now?" Do you want you to dig a hole in the ground and take us in to see her? ”
The girl named Nia laughed in the communicator: "Before coming out, the head of the Sophia branch specially told me that you have a stinky mouth. At first, I didn't believe it, but now I finally know that your king Tom really lives up to his reputation! ”
As he spoke, the sandworm mecha had dug a large pit with a diameter of more than two meters and a depth of more than ten meters under the sandpile, revealing a huge steel gate underneath.
At this time, Niya's voice came from the communication channel again, and she smiled: "When the city of Doha was destroyed, the entrance to our secret base was also buried under the sand pile by the strong wind in the no-man's land, so you couldn't find the entrance just now. ”
At this moment, the huge steel gate opened automatically, and the sandworm mecha was the first to get in. Nia used the communicator to say to the five mechs outside, "Take your people and come in with me!" ”
Looking at the giant gate buried under the sand, more than ten meters deep, Tom exhaled, this time it was finally the end of the run!
Tom left the three electronic mechs and Emma's Glory mech behind, waiting to assist the dozens of logisticians and family members behind him to get into the bunker, while he himself controlled the test machine No. 2 to jump in first, and made a forward stop for the team to explore the way.
When Test Machine No. 2 entered the giant steel gate, the first short stretch of the road was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
But soon Tom drove the test machine 2 to a very large space, which was as brightly lit as the day outside!
It's a huge, completely steel-built base!
I don't know how much time it took and how much manpower and material resources were spent to build a wild cave full of stones and yellow sand into a very technological military base.
The dome in the base is very high, dozens of meters high from bottom to top!
If you look down from the very top of the dome, Testing Machine 2 now looks like a small robotic toy. And the sandworm mecha next to it looked like a small bug.
Tom had never been to this secret base in Doha City, and although he knew that it was once the headquarters of the Gloria guerrillas on Basel, as a small mech, he really didn't have the opportunity to come here before. Who would have nothing to do and send a mech creep on a business trip across an interstellar city?
It can be said that after joining the Gloria guerrillas, and before being captured by the federal government forces, Tom's activities were limited to the city of Oaklandis.
In fact, Tom should still be grateful to Smith and Bai Jie, the two intelligence agents of the Setan federal government, especially Bai Jie. If it weren't for the conspiracy of the two of them, Tom would never have gotten the chance to go to the Capital Star, and he wouldn't have gotten his hands on Test Machine 2 in the mecha warehouse of the Military Commission.
If he hadn't encountered Test Machine 2, even if Tom had the mysterious necklace that Ulrygin had quietly stuffed into him before he died, he would still be a poor prisoner of war for the federal army. And the mysterious necklace that hides the secrets of the universe is likely to be lost from Tom's hand again. The next time it has a chance to see the light of day again, I don't know how many years will be in the Year of the Monkey.
This era of re-establishment of a new order has been destined to choose Tom as the-stirring stick in this great maelstrom. Now that the opportunities and equipment have been sent to Tom, whether he will become a hero or a bear in the future depends on Tom's own creation.
At this time, the strange sandworm mech took Tom to park the test machine No. 2 in a special mecha docking station and hung it on a huge steel frame.
Of course, Tom recognized this kind of steel frame, and in the mecha warehouse of the Capital Star Military Dispatch Association, there were dozens of such giant steel frames, which were full of mechas. The function of this steel frame is to repair and maintain the mecha, as well as to replenish the energy of the mecha and mount missiles, light knives and other weapons.
After Tom manipulated the test machine No. 2 and hung it on a giant steel frame, a dozen guerrilla mecha maintenance personnel immediately ran from the opposite side. These guys look like veterans, and they're very skillful. Tom had barely gotten out of the cockpit of the mech, and a few of the guys had already climbed onto the steel frame, ready to start repairing Test Plane 2.
Tom was very relieved to see that the testing machine No. 2 had just come in and could be repaired and replenished. He greeted the mech repairmen with a smile and jumped to the ground.
Bai Jie also jumped out with Tom, she took off the helmet on her head, brushed her hair, and let out a long breath. It took sixteen or seventeen hours to cross the no-man's land, but Bai Jie was suffocated, and now that he finally breathed fresh air, Bai Jie felt that the whole person was immediately much more comfortable.
However, when Bai Jie saw the dozen or so maintenance workers, he couldn't help frowning again. Because these repairers are obviously from the Gloria guerrillas, when they repair this antique mech, they will definitely come into contact with the internal structure of this mech, and may even come into contact with its core secrets. And these are all things that Bai Jie does not want to see.
Originally, Bai Jie planned to let Tom settle the cumbersome guerrilla logistics personnel and family members here after arriving at the guerrilla base in Doha City, and then let Tom quickly leave the base with him and go to Doha City to find clues about Andrew's black gold case. But Bai Jie never expected that as soon as they entered the gate of the base, the guerrilla maintenance team ran over to start serving with great enthusiasm. Bai Jie faintly felt that this might all be arranged by that Sophia a long time ago!
You know, the antique mech that Tom is piloting now is actually a flying mecha that can actually fly into the sky! The core technology of flying mechas, no matter which country in the universe is an unattainable cross-era technology! Whoever masters this advanced science and technology first will be able to leave other cosmic countries far behind in terms of military strength, and it is very likely that the speed of scientific and technological development will be opened up for several decades! This is fatal to all the countries of the universe! It's all about influencing the fortunes of the country!
But now Bai Jie has no reason to stop those maintenance workers from climbing on the body of the No. 2 test machine and carrying out repair work on it. Bai Jie knew that even if she stepped forward to stop it now, it would only cause Tom's displeasure and destroy the intimate relationship she had just established with Tom. Now Bai Jie can only pray, praying that those maintenance workers will not be able to crack the core secret of this flying mecha in a short time. And she herself has to find a way to pull Tom out of this base as soon as possible!
Bai Jie was still thinking nonsense, and the Nia liaison officer over there had crawled out of the sandworm mecha and was coming over to beckon Tom and Bai Jie to go with her to meet the head of the Sophia branch.
