"Have you contacted Sister Chu and the others?" Chen Qingyu turned his head to look at Yao Han beside him.
"Sister Xiaoran didn't reply, but Sister Chu said she's already on her way here." Xu Bing'er interrupted, looking at the screen in front of her, her face full of worry. "What on earth happened...were we discovered?"
"Maybe the people from Steel Dome have already discovered what we are doing, but they just didn't do anything about it." Yao Han said calmly. "I don't know what made Jack decide to get rid of us. It's definitely not a good thing."
The "Jack" he was referring to was now the General Manager of the Steel Dome branch in Lingyuan. After Yali left, he had taken over Gao Yunkuan's position.
"I said from the beginning that the base was too close to Xindu." A female voice came from beside them. It was Gu Yue. She had now recovered her cultivation and her eyes had healed.
"We can't blame Sister Chu for this. There are only pros and cons." This was said by Su Huohuo. Xiao Nan was riding on her neck with a worried expression on her face.
"The cars at the back door are ready." Li Dayin came hurriedly from not far away with several Maowei employees.
"Running away is the worst option." Yao Han shook his head.
"But at least the Steel Dome's army hasn't completely surrounded this place. By the time they form an encirclement, it will be too late." Su Huohuo clicked a few times on the keyboard in front of him, and a clear bird's-eye view appeared in front of everyone. On it, they could see that most of the pharmaceutical factory had been blocked by the army, with only a gap at the back.
But judging from the marching speed of the Steel Dome Army, it was only a matter of time before the rear was surrounded.
"What kind of perspective is this? Xiaohuo, you hacked into Steel Dome's drone?" Xu Bing'er's eyes widened. "Can you hack their combat mechas too?"
"You think too highly of me... The various Steel Dome units use an intranet system."
Seeing Xu Bing'er's confused expression, Xiaohuo added a few more explanations: "Simply put, it's a local area network. If they're using Lingyuan's wide area network, then I can still do something. Right now, I can't. At most, I can hack into a drone."
"Yao Han is right. Running away is the worst option." Gu Yue pointed at the map in front of her. "How could the people from Steel Dome be so foolish as to leave us a way out? This gap is clearly a trap."
"Beep! According to deduction, the possibility of a trap is seventy-three percent." A complex stream of data flashed across the electronic screen on Xiaonan's face.
"Possibility of assistance?" Yao Han turned his gaze to Chen Qingyu, who had been silent.
"Boqu Company didn't respond. President Li of Qingshu...she seemed to want to send someone to support us, but she didn't explain clearly." Chen Qingyu put down his phone and rubbed his eyes. "After all, she is only the president of a branch. Maybe she is under pressure from the headquarters."
"These interstellar companies are all the same. We can't rely on them in a crisis." Jiang Lu, who was standing behind Li Dayin, drew his service pistol from his waist. "If all else fails, we'll just fight the Steel Dome guys!"
"Fight? How can we fight? With just a few guns in our base, can we stop Steel Dome's mecha? Even Ari Company was no match for these things back then." Su Huohuo glanced at Jiang Lu.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death!" Jiang Lu was a little anxious. "If we continue like this, we'll really be surrounded and killed by them! We might as well burn our boats and cross the river. Maybe a few of us can survive!"
"In fact, we still have a 'magic weapon to win'." An old voice emerged from the crowd.
Everyone looked towards the person who was speaking. It was a thin old man with messy white hair. He walked to Chen Qingyu with a hunched back.
"Professor Mo." Chen Qingyu nodded at him.
Mo Liang, a leading figure among the scientific researchers at the Maowei base, holds an extremely important position in the company.
Professor Mo is the old man who had argued with Chen Qingyu before. He has a great passion for the pursuit of science and technology and almost voluntarily devoted himself to the construction of the spacecraft.
"And Manager Chen should have thought of this a long time ago, right?"
Everyone's attention turned to Chen Qingyu as Mo Liang spoke.
"This thing is too dangerous. The decision of whether to use it or not is not in my hands." Chen Qingyu said in a muffled voice.
"It doesn't have to be used." Mo Liang's lips curled up slightly, a sly sagacity flashing in his eyes. "It all depends on what President Chu decides."
After hearing Chen Qingyu's words, many people showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, but many people were still in the dark.
For example, Xu Bing'er: "What? What are you talking about?"
"The entropy accelerator is almost complete." A gleam flashed in Yao Han's eyes.
"Uh... I'm a logistics staff member. Can someone explain it to me?" Xu Bing'er scratched her head embarrassedly.
"You must know about nuclear bombs, right?" Xiaohuo turned his head and looked at Xu Bing'er.
"Of course." Xu Bing'er nodded. Today's wasteland was formed under the influence of nuclear bombs. It would be too stupid not to know this.
"The entropy accelerator is more than just a power source for the spacecraft. To put it another way, it's like a nuclear bomb that hasn't detonated yet."
"More than that." Professor Mo touched his chin. "If it were to explode completely, its power would be equivalent to the explosive equivalent of three nuclear bombs."
"Three!" Bing'er was shocked. "Doesn't that mean we're all gone too?"
"But this is the only weapon that can pose a threat to Steel Dome. We may have the possibility of competing with Steel Dome." Yao Han pointed out the key point incisively.
"Wait, look, what is that?"
Everyone looked at the screen following Gu Yue's finger, and saw that a group of black shadows suddenly appeared at the gap on the west side of the pharmaceutical factory.
Su Huohuo reacted extremely quickly, his fingers clacking a few times on the keyboard, and the real-time map suddenly zoomed in several times, and the full picture of those black shadows was clearly presented to everyone.
Those black shadows were actually an army!
This armed force has dozens of armored tanks equipped with live ammunition as its vanguard, and behind the tanks are five combat mechas soaring in the sky.
Whether it is a tank or a mecha, they are all decorated with a sea blue paint job that is different from the steel dome. The blue shell shines brightly under the scorching sun of the wasteland.
Although this force seemed quite weak compared to the Steel Dome's army, at the critical moment, the arrival of this unknown army undoubtedly gave everyone at Cat Tail a shot in the arm.
But some people were very calm, such as Yao Han:
"Friend or foe?"
"Here, enlarge it twice!" Chen Qingyu pointed to the leading tank.
After Xiaohuo's manipulation, everyone finally saw clearly what was painted on the tank's hull:
On the blue paint job, three bright silver five-pointed stars are arranged in an inverted triangle position above a shield-shaped logo.
"Hey, this is..." Chen Qingyu frowned, as if he thought of something.
The portable computer on Su Huohuo's wrist suddenly lit up, and a rectangular blue projection screen attracted the attention of everyone present.
As the screen appeared, a sullen male voice rang out:
"Hello? Can you hear me? This is from the Starlight Organization..."
