The appearance of a base station in operation in the restricted area is beyond the understanding of the two teams. Qi Sicheng subconsciously frowned, their mecha division's understanding of the Koria Forbidden Zone is very vague, and the role of this base station in this Forbidden Zone is not known for the time being, judging from the attitude of the Koria Administration towards the Forbidden Zone, this Forbidden Zone is most likely not simple.

Qi Sicheng swept his eyes to the shielding system that was no longer visible in the distance, and then focused on the base station again, "This base station is probably related to the operation system of the entire forbidden area." ”

"Do you want to check it out?" When Huo Yan heard this, he asked, "If you are near the base station, there should be a foundation facility, right?" You might be able to get in touch with the Authority. ”

Ying Shen's eyes fell on You Su, and the other party had not continued to lead the way.

From the moment you enter the scorched forest, you seem to already know something.

You Su's familiarity with this forbidden area was deep, and this depth was a little deeper than Ying Shen's original guess, and the other party's performance gave him a very strange feeling. I don't know why, Ying Shenlin feels that You Su doesn't like this forbidden area very much, this feeling can't be explained, but there is a very good feeling.

"Thank you." Should be lowered to a whisper.

You Su didn't speak, it seemed that he was just a pure guide, taking the shortest route, and happened to see this strange base station.

In the cockpit, Theo looked at the base station in the distance, and there was a part of the base station recorded in the fragmented data of its body, but when it tried to scan the deep data of the base station, there was no record inside the body.

"Have we been to this place before?" Theo asked.

"I've been here." You Su didn't go any further, and by the time he saw the base station, he already knew that others would be interested.

Theo persevered in searching for the data in the mech, it had not yet given birth to any mecha intelligence when it had traveled back here, and the data inside the mech was like an ordinary intelligent system, and when he looked down carefully, he found that the records related to the forbidden area did not seem to enter its core database.

The disconnected data of the database that didn't enter, Theo seemed to know something.

Just when Qi Sicheng and Huo Yan hesitated to move forward, the Wind Hidden Mecha Division, who had been hovering around the team, sent a report, "Team Qi, there is a discovery here, do you want to come over and have a look?" ”

Qi Sicheng came back to his senses: "What did you find?" ”

"A very strange hole." The Hidden Mecha didn't know how to describe it, "Right at the end of the ditch where the strange tentacle was just now." ”

Hearing the words of the hidden mecha master, the group felt that something was not quite right, and planned to go over there to take a look first.

Ying Shenlin temporarily put aside his speculation about You Su and followed over there to see the situation.

Zhao Lejie and Ji Qingfeng fell behind, and saw that he was still walking with the praying mantis, "If you can find a safe place, you can quickly dispose of this pollutant." ”

There is an S-class king insect in the female mantis, and there is also a spatial displacement ability crystal, Ji Qingfeng knows that in the case of the displacement ability failure, it is a bit cumbersome and even dangerous to carry this pollutant in the forbidden area, but it is not easy for them to deal with this pollutant for them who continue to hurry.

The simple material treatment is fine, but there are still a lot of bugs inside this contaminant, and if you want to peel off the shell material, you have to deal with the bugs, and the most important thing is how to deal with the king bug.

Ji Qingfeng was a little reluctant in the end, but he also knew that the pollutant itself was a threat, and said: "We also have to find a safe place, we are all in a hurry to go out, how can we have time to deal with it?" ”

Zhao Lejie: "It's easy for you to cut off your head, and the Ability Crystal is inside." Ji Qingfeng looked at the king worm bound in his neck: "You said it simply, there is still my daughter in the head." ”

The location of the Hidden Mechs was not far away, and the first thing they saw when they arrived was the ditch.

The newly opened soil was scattered on the dead branches and leaves, and there were traces of dragging soil at the bottom of the ditch about one meter in diameter, and at the end of this trace was a hole deep into the ground, the hole was larger and wider than the ditch, and the entrance to the hole could also see the traces of being cut by the mantis's legs.

It was clear that the mantis leg that was being dragged by the strange tentacles went straight into the ground.

Seeing this, several mechs fell silent slightly.

This kind of pollutant is so strange that even if the body of the pollutant is difficult to be captured by the mecha's detection system deep underground, but if the tentacles and hands exposed to the surface as part of its body are exposed, it stands to reason that there should be a pollutant reaction, but these are not at all.

"Look at the shape of this hole." Qi Sicheng noticed the traces of cracked soil at the edge of the cave and said, "It should have dragged more than one contaminant." ”

In other words, the thing underground, dragging pollutants everywhere to the ground to eat.

And judging from its tentacles, the size of this pollutant is probably not small.

"Is it hiding under the penalty area?" Huo Yan frowned and looked at it, "Does the Koria Administration know about this?" ”

This forbidden area pollutant is obviously not an ordinary pollutant, and even S-class pollutants dare to be pulled, indicating that the level of this thing should be in S-level or S-class mutation...... or additionally higher may exceed S class contaminants.

Lin Yao: "Will it be Super S?" ”

"It's unlikely, if it's Super S, it should have been detected by the Koria Administration when the black hole rioted." Zhao Lejie knew the situation, they came to the Koria polluted area because of the black hole riot incident of the polluted area investigation, Koria's S-class pollutants were investigated, at that time they had all captured the magnetic field characteristics of the black hole, "The alliance has caught the black hole, and will definitely pay special attention to the hidden dangers of the black hole, if this thing is super S-level, how can it leave some traces, right?" ”

Deer Creek: "When we went on a mission, we only talked about 10 S-class resources with threats. ”

The others were discussing, and Ying Shen looked at the entrance of the cave for a while, and soon walked to the other side of the cave to observe. He used the mecha's scanning system to scan and analyze the soil on the ground, and found that the hole was extending deeper into the ground, not only down, but also forward. He turned off the contaminant scanning system and turned on all the other scanning systems in the mech.

You Su was not with the other mechs, his mechs were parked outside the hole, and the various control systems in the console were all lit up, especially the two weapon systems were in a state of readiness. Directly in front of his vision, a certain mech had left the group and walked to the other side of the cave. He frowned slightly, and his eyes swept the pollution detection radar that had not responded.

Theo: "I don't have such a strange contaminant in my data!" ”

"What you don't have in your database, I'll have a memory?" You Su's tone was flat, "But this place is indeed a lot stranger, quieter than 8 years ago." ”

It's a little bit quiet.

Theo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Shall we report to the Border Army?" ”

The mechs in front of him were piled together, evoking an old scene in his memory.

In just a moment, the gloom in his eyes was washed away, and he changed back to his lazy appearance.

"Report what?" You Su's hand stayed on the weapon's console, and the left fingertips that implicated the empathetic nerves rubbed slightly, "I'm just a former frontier army mecha division, and now I'm an enthusiastic citizen at best." ”

His eyes fell on the mecha that should be sunk, "Besides, we don't need to report it, someone looks at things more carefully than us." ”

As soon as Theo was about to ask a second question, he heard the voices of Ying Shen in the public channels of the two teams.

Ying Shen said, "You can turn on the energy scanner. ”

The discussion of the other mechs stopped, and Wen Yan turned on the energy scanner.

The next second, their display showed a very different result than the contamination reaction scan.

There is a slight special energy response at the entrance of the cave, and those reactions down the surface are light and heavy, and the energy reactions of different shades are presented on the display, which makes people feel shocking at a glance.

"How can it be an energy reaction?" Qi Sicheng's brows furrowed tightly when he saw this report.

Ji Qingfeng: "Isn't it?" That thing was a huge source of energy. ”

Zhao Lejie couldn't help but say: "I want to know if it's impossible!" Do you think there is such energy in the alliance? ”

The energy response is fixed, and there is rarely moving energy, and basically there will be a reaction only when exploring mineral special energy materials. What they see obviously has the same flexibility and attack ability as pollutants, so why is the pollution reaction not fruitful, but the energy reaction is the result.

"The energy response is gone here." Sinking about fifty meters away from the mecha group, he stood somewhere above the soil, "Either it ends here, or it's beyond the detection range of the onboard energy scanner." ”

Several mechs looked in the direction where they should be sinking, noticing the direction of the cavern's extension.

Beyond the mech, they could see a faint purple mask of light behind the scorched forest.

"This thing is an extension—"

Qi Sicheng said: "It's the base station." ”

Base station. The surrounding mechists all looked at the running base station in the distance, and the purple light mask above the base station seemed to reveal something. The mechists looked at the base station differently. Suppose these energy reactions have something to do with that weird pollutant...... That doesn't mean that the pollutant is right below the base station.

"Won't it?" Zhao Lejie said.

Qi Sicheng frowned slightly, "Whether it will be or not, it seems that we all have to go to the base station." ”

If there is a threat of contaminants in it, as Alliance mechs, they are obligated to report the contaminants to the Alliance.

-

The scorched forest-covered exclusion zone is full of decaying plants and bleak life, and the soil is completely identical to the swampy forest outside. The Frontier Force team, which had just entered through the entrance, had already made their way to the location of the abandoned base station.

In the process of moving, Lieutenant Colonel Lu looked at the surrounding situation, "The situation in the forbidden area is more stable than last year's data record, and it has been like this for the past few years?" ”

"Yes Major, every time we come to investigate the situation in the restricted area over the years, the pollutants inside have decreased year by year." "The pollution level is also getting lower every year," the soldier explained. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Lu frowned and looked at the detection system: "The pollution value is lower than that of the Koria contaminated area?" ”

"That's weird." The soldier explained: "We just went on a mission last year, and the results of the reconnaissance were still above the Kolya pollution index. ”

The mecha division of the Border Army couldn't help but pay attention to the mecha at the front, and the person who originally led the team was the person from their special force reconnaissance team.

It's just that after learning that the mission applicant was Qiu Lao, the superior replaced the general who led the team with Lieutenant Colonel Lu. They have been in the border army for a while, and they also know the name of Lieutenant Colonel Lu, this one is the mecha division of the core commando team in the special forces, and he has extremely rich experience in the battlefield and has outstanding strength.

"Weird." Lieutenant Colonel Lu immediately said: "Pay attention to the surrounding pollutants, the magnetic field in the forbidden area is special, pay attention to environmental changes." ”

br />

After hearing Lieutenant Colonel Lu's instructions, all the people became vigilant, and they did not dare to relax at all when they were moving forward quickly.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu looked at Theo's location on the map, and his frown did not relax.

In the general control room of the Koria Authority, all the staff are dealing with two things at the same time, and the joint clearance mission is coming to an end, and the situation in the forbidden area on the main planet makes the staff's already difficult work even more busy. When he saw that the coordinates of the border army on the map were in the direction of the midpoint, the expression of Director Koria, who remained in the general control room, changed slightly.

Staff: "Blast and KID changed directions, they probably wanted to shorten the distance." ”

Director Koria: "Can you still contact them?" ”

"Their mecha is not equipped with a special system for the forbidden area, so they can only try to communicate with each other." The staff continued, "With the current course of action, they should soon be able to join up with the team led by Lieutenant Colonel Lu. ”

Qiu Lao paid attention to the coordinates on the map.

Director Korya looked at Qiu Lao, who was silent next to him, "Their direction will pass through the abandoned base station, and you haven't told me why there is a sudden exploration mission." ”

The Border Army has a mission request, and the Koria Administration can only cooperate.

But the destination of this quest request is a forbidden area, so the level of the quest is different.

Director Korya has served here for many years, and during this time, the Frontier Army has entered the restricted area only a handful of times, since the mutated pollutant was cleared 20 years ago, the Border Army has entered and exited the restricted area many times on the grounds of mission over the years, and the most tragic one was 8 years ago.

8 years ago, there was a pollutant riot in the forbidden area, due to the particularity of the location, it was impossible to request the assistance of the alliance's professional mecha division, and all the clean-up tasks were secretly carried out by the mecha division of the border army, and the special forces in the border army were led at that time, but the clearance of the special forces was not smooth, there were 4 S-class mutant pollutants, and a large number of border pollutants broke through the border defense.

In the end, the special forces successfully completed the task of clearing and eradicating, but it was also the most serious casualty since the border army carried out the mission.

Since then, the Frontier Army's assessment of the exclusion zone has been redrawn, with special reconnaissance teams entering every three years.

"The last exploration mission was last year, and according to the regulations, the regular exploration mission should be one year later." Director Korya looked at Qiu Lao, "Not long ago, you came to transfer the old files of the forbidden area, and now you have brought people here, as the director of the Korya Pollution Area Management Bureau, I should also have the right to know." ”

Old Qiu's expression was serious, "I didn't hide it, I applied for this mission last time, and I applied for a exploration mission on the grounds that the black hole might affect the forbidden area." The Star Alliance paid great attention to it, and finally the superior transferred Lieutenant Colonel Lu over. ”

Director Korya wondered: "But we have already carried out the exploration of the black hole two months ago, and the pollution level of the forbidden area during this time is also normal, even better than in previous years. ”

Qiu Lao hesitated for a moment and spoke: "The black hole is just an excuse, I found something on the old archives, I hope everything is just my delusion-"

Before he finished speaking, the staff next to him suddenly said, "Director, KID has changed the direction of the wind!" ”

Director Koria, who was talking, and Qiu Lao suddenly stopped, and when they looked at the map again, they found that the coordinates of KID and Blifeng were offset to the position of 10 o'clock, and Director Korya was stunned when he saw this: "In this direction, they are going to the base station!" ”

Old Qiu's expression changed slightly, "Find a way to contact them, you can't let too many people know about the base station!" ”

When the outside world hurriedly contacted the inside of the forbidden area, KID and the mecha division of the wind had already arrived near the base station. As soon as they walked near the base station, the building appeared in front of everyone, and all the mechists saw the older buildings, which had a bit of a sense of age, and it was clear that they had not been renovated in years.

The Wind Turbine Master said: "Team Qi, we can't check the energy response underground, but the energy response of the base station in this place is obvious. ”

"It's normal for the base station to have energy reactions." Huo Yan looked at the building in front of him, "This base station looks like it has been built for many years. ”

"It hasn't been renovated, but there is still an energy base station." Zhao Lejie took a detour to the entrance of the base station, "What is this place for?" ”

Ying Shen Lin raised his head slightly, looking at the various style changes inside the base station, "The antenna-type annunciator on the radar system over there has been discontinued, I remember that it was an old model ten or twenty years ago, and such a facility will not be used now." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already entered through the entrance of the base station.

Qi Sicheng was still thinking, and after a moment's effort, several KID mecha had already approached the entrance.

Zhao Lejie: "??? What are you doing? ”

Lin Yao: "I'm here, go in and have a look." ”

The entrance to the base station scans the mech, automatically opening the entrance barrier.

As soon as Ying Shen Lin entered the base station, the anti-pollution reaction on the mecha was stretched to full, and seeing that the others were still outside, he explained: "The anti-pollution equipment here is open. ”

The anti-pollution equipment is turned on, which means that the base station is running even the most basic equipment.

It is a completely operational base station, but it has been left unattended in this forbidden area, how suspicious is this situation.

The building has become something else, and the base station is running, but there are signs of damage inside the base station. After the battle of Chuzin, judging from the damage marks inside the base station in front of him, these are not natural damage, but something has attacked this base station, leaving traces of battle everywhere.

These traces of battle have been simply cleaned up, but they cannot hide the dilapidated status of this base station.

As he was observing, he saw Theo in the distance stop, and Yousu came out of the cockpit and landed firmly on the tarmac floor.

After a pause, he piloted the mech close to the tarmac inside the base station, and came out of the mech cockpit after stopping at the tarmac.

Not long after You Su came out of the cockpit, he saw Ying Shen Lin follow him down.

Seeing this, he said, "Isolator." ”

Ying Shen took a few steps closer to Yousu, and he showed him the isolator he was wearing, "Wear it." ”

You Su saw Ying Shen in combat uniform, the tight-fitting combat uniform outlined the opponent's thin but thin muscle figure, and the straight back showed the physical quality that the opponent had never fallen behind as a maintenance engineer. He withdrew his gaze, "Put on your coat too." ”

Ying Shen was stunned for a moment and took out KID's team uniform from his portable storage device.

When he took the clothes, You Su had already taken the initiative to go inside.

Ying Shen casually put on his clothes and followed quickly.

Seeing that the KID people inside got off the mecha one after another, Zhao Lejie, who was still at the door of the base station, had a big head: "Why did you all go down!" ”

Huo Yan: "Aren't you going to contact Coria?" This place is so well-equipped, the general control room should still be usable, right? ”

"The Authority knows we're here." Qi Sicheng also followed into the base station, "The general control room is indeed the way to contact the management bureau, and the defense system in this place is still safe and can be used temporarily." ”

In a sense, this place is indeed a relatively safe place in the restricted area at the moment.

Seeing this, the other mecha divisions also followed Qi Sicheng in, Ji Qingfeng couldn't go in, he looked at the female mantis beside him, "The living pollutant can't pass through the defense system, I'll stay outside with it and see what to do with it." ”

Zhao Lejie didn't follow when he saw this, "This is only a pollutant, why are you entangled in it for a long time, you can't take it out, right?" Besides, this praying mantis is dead, and your daughter is at most the living king worm. ”

Ji Qingfeng sighed: "People have feelings, why don't you come?" ”

Zhao Lejie didn't want to stay outside with him to stare at a praying mantis or a bug.

Soon followed in the footsteps of the other mechs into the base station.

As soon as Qi Sicheng and Huo Yan entered the place, they first went to find the general control room in the base station, Ying Shen Lin did not find the general control room, he held Yuan's mecha key tightly with one hand, and saw You Su walking to the building in the middle of the base station.

Ying Shen looked at the building...... Institute?

Most of this kind of building is the place inside the base station for researchers, but this building is larger than the research building inside the base station that Ying Shen has seen before, and he followed you into the building, through several doors, into the inner hall.

Today's base stations in polluted areas are rarely staffed, and most of them are robots, so they generally do not have superfluous decorations.

However, the interior of the building has a lobby structure similar to that of the outside research institute, with a console similar to the reception desk in front of it, and virtual bulletin boards and work reports hanging on the walls on both sides.

Ying Shen walked over and saw the work log on the virtual bulletin board, but the important records on it were basically deleted, and only some descriptions of weapons could be vaguely seen. He is a maintenance engineer and can understand some of the terms, why is the research institute in the contaminated area researching weapons?

After reading the bulletin board, when he looked to the side, he saw a work report map, and there was a shift schedule next to the report map.

The virtual screen in this place seems to have been impacted, and cracks appear on the screen where some images have been lost. He took a few steps closer and saw several portraits displayed next to the schedule, and these small figures appeared to be researchers.

Most of the faces are young, but there are also old ones.

Ying Shen glanced quickly, and when he saw half of it, he noticed someone approaching behind him, and casually explained: "This research institute seems to be doing weapons research......"

Before he finished speaking, he swept over You Su's hand.

Ying Shen Lin just stepped back and bumped into You Su, and he suddenly paused: "I'm sorry." ”

Yusu's hand passed over Ying Shen's shoulder and stopped behind him.

Ying Shen Lin noticed that You Su was approaching, and the other party seemed to be looking at something.

You Su hovered over his right shoulder with his other hand, "Turn around." ”

Ying Shen was stunned, "What? ”

At this moment, the force on the shoulders intensified.

"Wait—"

Ying Shen was forced to turn around, his whole body against the wall, his back against the virtual screen.

As soon as he raised his head, he noticed that Yusu's eyes fell on him.

The other party's eyes are very dark, and when you are in contact with the other party's eyes, you should notice that your face and the virtual screen behind you are reflected in those eyes. The strength from his shoulders was not heavy, but it was the first time he was so close to someone, and he had a strange feeling.

"What's wrong?" Should be asked in bewilderment.

"Don't move."

You Su's gaze swept over Ying Shenlin's face, and finally landed on a figure that was shoulder level with Ying Shenlin

- It was a face that looked very similar to Ying Shenlin.
