Volume 20 Chapter 29 Invasion
Without distractions, it is too easy for us to catch up with those ordinary people. We dragons can just run on the ground. Anyway, with our physical ability, the speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour is the same as human jogging, which is not strenuous at all. As for the Germans, their steel mechs stretched out two tracks from their feet as if they were playing roller skating. Then I saw these guys quickly started up and followed us at a speed not much slower than us.
Although it didn't take much time to chase down a few ordinary people, the other party finally arrived at the ruins before us, not because we were too slow, but because the ruins were too close. When we found their destination, Anmin and the others were less than one kilometer away from the ruins. Even if their movement speed is limited in the forest, they can't cover such a short distance for long, so when we got out of the mine, we found that they had already entered the tunnel.
"It seems they have entered." When we stood outside the mine, the leader of the German group said loudly.
I glanced at the footprints on the ground and said, "And it also has a tail." As I said that, I took out the spear and rushed into the hole. Naturally, Scott and the others followed immediately.
The Germans were obviously quite surprised by my reaction, but after one of the smarter guys switched the monitor to infrared mode and gradually lowered the reaction temperature, he finally saw a few series of footprints on the ground.
Because the temperature of the human body is relatively high, where people walk, the point where the soles of the shoes contact the ground will have some slight temperature differences with the surrounding ground. As long as the time is not too long, some sensitive infrared capture equipment can distinguish this temperature difference and display the shape of the footprints.
An Min and the others had obviously just entered not long ago, and the temperature of the footprints on the ground had not yet assimilated with the surrounding environment, so both we and the Germans saw the footprints. However, the current situation is obviously a bit strange, because An Min and the British should be a talented pair, but there are thirteen groups of footprints on the ground, and three of them are obviously much brighter than the previous ten pairs. In infrared mode, higher brightness means higher temperature, and the only reason these footprints are warmer is that they are left behind and have less temperature loss.
The three subsequent footprints followed An Min's ten pairs of footprints, which could only mean one thing - they were being followed.
Since we can see the infrared footprints on the ground, and our bioelectric induction ability ensures that we are generally not easily ambushed by the enemy, after entering the mine, I did not bend down like those women often seen on TV. He moved forward cautiously, but threw Tui away and ran away.
As we got closer and closer, the footprints on the ground became clearer and clearer, but soon my attention was attracted by the surrounding mines.
After Ling and Xiaochun caught up with me, they found me squatting on the ground checking something, so they walked over curiously. Ling saw me lowering my head to check the ground and squatted down to rub the ground. Then his pupils shrank instantly.
"This is……?"
"Yes, it's star alloy." I stood up and looked into the cave and said.
Xiaochun and the others were also surprised when they heard the name. This so-called star alloy is actually something similar to meteorite, but it is different from ordinary meteorite. It is a composite metal synthesized due to natural reasons in the universe. Its density is lower than iron, but its hardness is But it is extremely exaggerated and has super toughness. The mechanical skeletons in our bodies use a stronger metal that has been re-capacitated based on star alloy. However, in comparison, this smelting and adjustment process is too troublesome, so The output has always been very low. It can only produce some experimental equipment and cannot equip a large amount of equipment at all.
In fact, not only is the production of this kind of compound in our bodies very small, but even the mother ore of star alloy itself is rare. After all, this thing was formed in the sky and then landed on the earth with meteorites, so its output can be imagined.
The British were able to find stars and gold mines in Africa. I have to say that they were very lucky. However, things like digging up alien ruins cannot be solely based on luck. At least I don’t think this is necessarily a good thing.
After checking the surrounding minerals, I started to lead Scott and the others further in, and soon we reached the end of the mine. The cave wall here is supported by a set of hydraulic devices, apparently to prevent a secondary collapse accident. There is a passage about two meters in front of this hydraulic device. However, the ground in that passage was full of cracks and looked quite dangerous. After passing this dangerous passage, there is a large space ahead. However, because we did not stand on the edge, we can't see what is there for the time being, but we think it must be the ruins the British mentioned.
On the cracked ground in front of us, there are two rope ladders spread on the ground. One end of the rope ladder is fixed on the hydraulic device, and the other end has been chased to the hole in front. Without looking, we can be sure that the bottom must be connected. On the ground in the ruins. But we don't need this.
"Let's go down one by one, and make sure the Germans at the back are separated as much as possible. Their aircraft are too heavy and the ground here is unstable. Be careful not to collapse them."
Scott nodded and said, "I'll be the last to leave, you go first."
Since Scott is staying to hold on, I have nothing to worry about. Go directly over the hydraulic support equipment to the end of the broken passage in front. Standing here, you can see a huge underground space in front of you. However, the area here is obviously not as large as the Fourth Special Zone, but it is already quite large.
Because it is deep underground, this space is completely dark at this time. Of course, this is not a problem for us, and because of the darkness of the environment, we can spot Anmin and the others at a glance. Because they were at the bottom of the cave at this time, and they, ordinary people, naturally had the lighting equipment found in the work shed at the entrance of the miner. In this dark cave, these lighting equipment are so conspicuous that I can't help but notice them even if I want to.
Looking back at Ling and the others who were still standing by the support equipment, I said directly: "I found An Min and the others. Yeyue, you and Ringtone Knight are walking slowly behind. Ling, you guys who can fly come with me. , we intercept them directly."
After I said that, I turned around and jumped directly from the hole. Ling and the others immediately jumped out of the hole with me, spread their wings and slid silently to An Min and the others below.
Since we were just gliding and landing with our wings spread out, the sound of our flight was so quiet that it was almost inaudible. I quickly approached their heads like a ghost, but instead of landing directly among them to scare them, I slid directly to a place more than ten meters in front of them before landing. Not because I was afraid of scaring them to death, but because I saw the three guys following An Min and the others while gliding.
Just like I guessed before, the three stalkers are all ninjas. The first group of people to arrive, apart from our Zero Bar thugs and the German steel robots, were only the American mecha warriors and the Japanese biochemical ninjas. Although the Americans are more numerous, they are only slightly more numerous than us, and not so numerous that they can separate people to track a few targets that may be completely insignificant.
Only Japan's biochemical ninjas can do this, because their individual combat effectiveness is the weakest among the four countries, but their number is several times greater than that of our other three countries plus one person. Of course they can do it with so many people They were sent out to perform tasks at will. Even if three people were used to target completely useless targets, it didn't matter. It would have little impact on their overall combat power anyway.
Although these three biochemical ninjas finally unexpectedly followed An Min and the others and found the ruins and reported the [Japan] headquarters with the equipment they carried, [Japan] himself also knew that these three biochemical ninjas alone would definitely not be able to survive in the next step. Those who took advantage of the multinational spoils-sharing operation.
So they also thought of the same idea as us, that is, let these three ninjas go in and search for any valuable technical items such as master computers and take them away first.
Precisely because they were eager to obtain these technologies before the elites from other countries arrived, the three ninjas did not even bother to kill An Min and the others, and went directly past them to the depths of the ruins. This led to the group of stalkers running to An Min instead. Ji Min and the others went ahead.
The distance of more than ten meters is not too far in the first place. As soon as I landed, I immediately attracted the attention of An Min and others. Although we were flying silently, there was still a lot of noise when we landed. After all, this is an underground cave, and with no external noise, it can almost be said to be the terrifying Queen of Silence. As soon as we landed, the sound of footsteps immediately alerted them.
After hearing the sound, An Min's lights came over immediately, but even if they didn't shine over, they would definitely be able to see us, because almost the moment we landed, the machine guns of me and Ling and Xiaochun behind me went off. stand up.
Although our machine gun is equipped with a silencer and flame extinguisher, it can only partially reduce the noise. In such a quiet and dark environment, the muzzle still sprayed out a tongue of flame more than two inches long, and the bullets also changed here. It turned into orange-red light spots, and the sound of the gunshot was as crisp as an old-fashioned mechanical typewriter running late at night.
~~Hit with your hands, don’t insert the floor~~
Accompanied by the firepower of three machine guns, the three ninjas in front were beaten into a pile of rotten flesh without even realizing what was going on. And just on our side, we had just killed the three ninjas and were about to turn around to find An Min. When they were in trouble, there was a sudden loud bang behind us. Ling and I turned around suddenly and saw a huge fireball rising at the entrance of the cave we came down from. And with the light of the fireball, I also happened to see Scott and the others and the Germans falling from the entrance of the cave. Come down.
Although we fell from the entrance of the cave, the entrance of the cave is only about 20 meters high from the ground. Even if we don't have any tools, we still dare to jump down. Although Scott and the others were knocked down by the explosion, they still adjusted their posture in the air and landed safely. As for the Germans, there is no need to worry. Their steel robots all have automatic balance systems. As soon as they were blown out, they immediately used their jet thrusters to adjust their attitude and make a soft landing. Their captain's aircraft also had a similar function.
Almost at the moment when Scotch and the Germans landed, several figures appeared at the entrance of the cave above, and Scotch and the others were not hesitant, and all kinds of firepower immediately moved towards the cave. One of the people on the top was killed as soon as he exposed his head. Only then did the remaining people react and start shooting in the face while hiding. However, they are in a narrow passage, while Scott and the others are in a wide space. In comparison, our side is obviously taking advantage. Scott and the others focused all their firepower on the circle around the entrance of the hole, hitting the people inside who didn't dare to show their heads at all. They could shoot explosives through the entrance of the hole or occasionally stretch out their guns and shoot down casually. Take it back.
Seeing that there was already a fight at the back, I pointed directly to the back and said: "Jingjing, Lingling and Amynis go back to help. Ling, Xiaochun and I will go to the ruins first to see what we can get."
When we made the decision, the group of people also had the same plan. One or three steel robots in their team immediately ran towards us. But I learned from my one-year education that these are all captain's machines. After all, search missions require brains. Those robots can fight well, but letting them judge by themselves what is more valuable is a bit difficult for them.
The three German steel mechs didn't even pay attention to An Min and the others who were standing in the middle of Beijing time. They ran directly past them and then ran towards us. An Min and the others were completely stunned by the surrounding situation. Seeing that they were still in a daze, I turned on the external speaker and yelled: "You idiots want to die quickly, just keep turning on the lights."
After hearing my voice, An Min and the others didn't do anything. When the officers and the British reacted, they hurriedly turned off the lights and rushed over to snatch the lights that were still on from the hands of An Min and Sister Hong. Destroyed together.
Although there is no light, it is actually possible to see things normally in the cave at this time. This is mainly due to the fierce fighting at the entrance of the cave. The firepower from both sides was so fierce that the muzzle flames were like torches, illuminating the cave in and out. Just barely enough to see things. If something like a grenade explodes, you can still take the opportunity to understand the situation in the distance.
After An Min and the others turned off the lights, I didn't bother to care anymore. I turned around and quickly rushed towards the depths of the ruins with Ling and the others.
This ruins is very different from our Fourth Special Zone. I had already scanned the situation here when I came here, so I have a general understanding of how clean it is here. The first is that there is indeed a spaceship in this cave, and it is not ordinary big. If we had to put it into proportion, it would be roughly as big as eight of the world's largest aircraft carriers put together.
In addition to this spaceship, there are many houses in this cave. The building materials of these houses are very simple, just the rocks here, but the doors are basically metal doors, and they look like they were dismantled from the spaceship.
I guess that this residential area was left by outsiders from Nitri. Unlike the spacecraft in the Fourth District, the people inside this spacecraft did not die after it crashed. They should have established a temporary residence here.
Compared with that spaceship, the probability of finding intact my technological products in the nearby residential area is obviously higher. This is easy to understand. You can imagine that a ship was wrecked and stranded on an uninhabited island, and the survivors built temporary homes on the island. What will they do next? Of course, all the things that can be used on the ship are moved to the residence for use. Therefore, the probability of finding intact equipment in residential areas is relatively high. However, I don’t plan to go there, because at most you can find some civilian scientific and technological daily necessities in that place, and those are not what we need.
In fact, you can easily understand it if you replace the previous distress hatch with a battleship. When the warship ran aground, the sailors would at most bring all kinds of living supplies to the island. Would they also dismantle the naval guns or the ship's navigation system and propeller and bring them to the island? Is it impossible in Jianyang? Even if they want to bring weapons, they will at most take away the rifles and other things they carry. Not to mention they won't move other things. Even if they want to move, they have to take them down. Okay.
"Xiao Chun, go and search the residential area, do a rough search and then go. Don't waste too much time." I said to Xiao Chun when we were approaching.
Xiaochun nodded and immediately flew towards the residential area. The Germans behind him also made the same arrangement. One of the steel robots flew towards the ignorant area, while the other two followed us and continued to fly towards the ruins.
Since the residential area is closer to us, Xiaochun and the steel soldier arrived at their destination first, and then they entered two different houses to start searching. As for what they could find, it all depended on luck.
After they entered the house in the residential area, Ling and I and the remaining two steel mechs also arrived at the spacecraft. Compared to the spaceship in the Fourth Special Zone, the ship in front of me fell more badly. It had almost been broken into five or six pieces, and there was still a big piece missing somewhere in the middle, as if it had been bitten by some giant beast.
Since our purpose is to search for valuable things, it is obviously inappropriate to take them together. Fortunately, there are thousands of windows and holes on this ship, so we don’t have to squeeze through one of them. We all made the tacit decision to enter separately.
According to the research on the spacecraft of our team's fourth zone, the most valuable areas on an alien spacecraft are actually exactly four places. They are penetration, stern, core and bottom.
The conclusion drawn from the analysis of the Fourth Special Zone is that the appearance of these aliens and earthlings should be the same. They all have the same facial features and body shape, and even many ideologies are somewhat similar. For example, the layout of this spaceship.
The bow of the spacecraft is where weapons are located, and the main weapons on a spacecraft are basically concentrated here. So it is also one of the most valuable areas. Needless to say, the stern is where the engine room is located, and the essence of deep space navigation technology lies here. As for the ship center, it is usually the location of the command center. The ship's "central" control system and main computer are usually located here. The last one is the bottom of the ship, which is usually a berthing area for loading small boats or combat units that can be separated from the mother ship.
Because the contents of the four areas are different, we can't just run around. After thinking about it, I contacted the two Germans and asked: "How should we divide them?"! .
