Chapter 168: A Surprise Attack
It's not the style of Cong Yunqi and Kruse to place their hopes on others. Even Xiao Yun can't guarantee that there will be a boat at the rebel's evacuation point. After all, he is not the only one who has the evacuation point. Know.
In addition, when it was attacked, there was a high probability that a traitor was behind it. Even if the evacuation point had not been destroyed by TMC people, those who escaped at this time might have already escaped through the boat at the evacuation point.
It can be said that except for Luo, the other three people have set their goal on seizing a ship from TMC.
The four of them withdrew a certain distance from the base and stopped to rest. Xiao Yun climbed up a tree and began to determine the direction and location, referring to the map given by VT to determine the current coordinates.
Cruze, Luo, and Cong Yungai were busy looking at another map, the interstellar map.
Cruze looked at the map with great interest: "Human beings in this world are really good at running. They are able to run so far away from the earth. This is already the Andromeda star cluster. How do the human beings here do it? Xiao Yun, do you have any relevant historical information? I am suddenly curious about this."
"No, I'll find it for you when I get the chance." Xiao Yun said while busy: "Humans in this world have not set foot in the universe in a short time. From the beginning of cosmic colonization to the discovery of super-light navigation and the creation of curvature The engine has been around for decades now.”
"The curvature engine is a very powerful thing." Luo said with shining eyes: "In our world, it is still a pure idea. The curvature engine cannot perform instantaneous travel, but it can create a space-time bubble for the spacecraft to use to travel quickly. Traveling at speeds of several orders of magnitude of the speed of light can also avoid the relativistic problem of time dilation. I really want to take it apart and see what’s going on.”
Xiao Yun: "There will be a chance."
Kruse suddenly smiled: "Although there is already super technology such as the warp engine, the weapons used by soldiers are still live ammunition. Even beam weapons cannot be miniaturized. Don't you think it's a little strange? "
Xiao Yun glanced in the direction of Kruse: "It may be the technology obtained through the door."
Cruze said noncommittally: "This shows that the forces that control the door are likely to have other technologies that you don't know about. Otherwise, if the TMC in this world is so powerful, how can it tolerate a few bandit armed forces jumping around the border? Yeah, you can still turn a blind eye and let them hold the door."
Cruze looked in the direction of Xiao Yun and said: "I'm afraid the situation you have to face is much more serious than you thought at the beginning. The most correct thing for you to do is to bring us here instead of doing it alone. To this world, this alone is not enough, we need more talents if we want to take away the door.”
"It's too far to talk about those, and I have no way to bring other things over due to my limited ability." Xiao Yun jumped down from the tree and landed in front of the three of them: "First solve the immediate trouble and find out the location of the door. "
After a short rest, Cong Yunkai said: "I have looked at the surrounding map, but I am not sure what scale the TMC is stationed nearby. I can only choose a more suitable station based on experience."
A map appeared in front of Xiao Yun's eyes and marked with several points. The locations of the several points were in a valley, next to a lake, and the last one was a flat area more than a hundred kilometers away.
Cruze shook his head: "It's a waste of time to search like this since we don't have transportation."
Xiao Yun said: "What about your opinion?"
Cruze said: "Go back and arrest someone directly to ask for information."
Xiao Yun groaned. The more conservative approach would be to find a higher place and slowly search for the location of the TMC station. As long as it is close to a certain distance, the TMC's huge warship will definitely not be hidden that easily.
Although it is a bit risky to follow Kruse's method, it can save a lot of things. The key is that you might be able to find some usable ground transportation in the base.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yun also made a decision: "Go back."
After making the decision, the four people immediately began to check the equipment and weapons. In fact, Luo's equipment was slightly different from that used by the other three. Since it was decided to assume the responsibility of engineering soldiers and logistics in the team, Luo naturally needed to carry it. There are more things, so his equipment has been customized specifically for these aspects.
If the physical strength cannot keep up with the combat effectiveness, then work towards endurance and carrying capacity. A simple set of exoskeletons can solve the problem.
The four returned to the base again. As expected, more TMC soldiers appeared in the base and even set up simple defensive positions. In addition to some marine soldiers serving as guards, there were also some people wearing work clothes who were busy inside. , and there are a lot more supply boxes neatly stacked together. This posture seems a bit like you want to repair the base and use it yourself.
The four people were divided into two groups and approached slowly. Xiao Yun and Luo were in one group, and Cong Yunxi and Kruze were in one group. One group was from the front and the other from the side continued to approach the base gate.
The entire resistance base is actually very huge. This base was originally established as a rear outpost midway base and logistical support. The base should have a lot of supplies and the ability to repair warships, but now Most of the base's important facilities have collapsed, but their value still exists and can still be used after repair.
The front was heavily guarded and there was not a good environment for action. Xiao Yun could rush in and take one person away to ask everything he wanted to know, but it would be better to keep a low profile.
If there was no opportunity, he could wait for it, or he could create it. The observation from two angles on both sides could almost see the situation in front of the entire base clearly.
Cong Yunhe's voice sounded in the communication: "No valuable targets were found."
Xiao Yun replied softly: "No one was found here either. Pay attention to the lone person and evacuate quickly after taking him down."
The waiting time was unbearable. It was not until nightfall that the opportunity came to a few people. Three TMC marines left the main force while patrolling and began to move in another direction. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yun immediately understood that these three people might be sentinels arranged to be fixed points.
And only more than ten minutes later, the three TMC soldiers fell into the hands of Xiao Yun and the other four, one dead and two unconscious.
Except Luo, in order to take down the target as quickly as possible, Cruze and Cong Yunhe cooperated with Xiao Yun to take down the two in the blink of an eye. The one who died was Cruze who decisively stabbed the opponent's neck with a dagger.
The other two who were targeted by Xiao Yun and Cong Yunhe were lucky enough to survive.
