Chapter 69 Crazy Hope Base
Bai Li immediately switched his consciousness over.
I saw that beside the temporary nest of the technical house,
The cat car has been improved again.
Not only more reliable brakes and simple shock absorbers are installed,
Most importantly,
He designed an ingenious... detachable... dual-power system in the front of the truck bed!
One set is hand-cranked and is for his own use.
The other set is for zombies?
There were also several strong leashes next to it.
He even used found leather and sponges,
The yoke is simply padded to prevent wear.
At the bottom of the truck bed,
He actually designed a hidden mezzanine!
Although the space is not large, it is enough to store some important supplies and weapons.
now,
He was gesturing excitedly.
Let the relatively clean and obedient zombie designated by Bai Li,
Put on that yoke and then connect the tow rope.
Under Bai Li's remote command,
The zombies began to move forward.
Crunch...
The cat car was pulled slowly,
Although it still shakes, it is much more labor-saving and stable than the previous manual cranking!
The tech geek sits in the driver's seat and only needs to control the direction.
He even tried to signal the zombies to speed up, turn, and stop.
Under Bai Li's precise control, the zombies cooperated perfectly.
The tech geek showed an expression of extreme excitement and accomplishment on his face.
It was as if he had accomplished some great invention.
Bai Li looked at this strange yet harmonious scene,
The cat's eyes are also shining.
Success!
Her cat driver plan has taken the most crucial step!
With this car, long-distance transfer is no longer a dream!
She immediately sent a big thumbs-up to the tech geek through Crow.
A cat's paw print,
And some food and water as rewards.
The technical geeks received the reward and became more motivated.
I began to think about how to further strengthen the car body and improve comfort.
However,
Just when Bai Li was delighted with Miaoche's breakthrough,
The Crow Sentinel responsible for monitoring the direction of Hope Base,
Once again, disturbing images were transmitted.
Those people seemed to be investigating the internal affairs of the alien nest.
The chaos on the side wall of the base and the thick smoke in the factory area eventually aroused the anger of the base's top management and launched a thorough investigation.
Several better-equipped reconnaissance teams led by psychics were dispatched.
A carpet search was conducted around the base, especially the factory area.
Bai Li watched all this nervously through the crow's high-altitude vision.
The investigation team soon discovered traces of violent damage to the underground pipeline.
As well as the remains of the nest that was burned and buried inside.
When they brought the charred remains of the alien and the broken egg shells back to the base,
The atmosphere inside the base instantly dropped to freezing point.
In the command room,
A middle-aged man wearing a school-level military uniform and with a stern face slammed the table.
Spider-web-like cracks instantly spread across the sturdy solid wood tabletop!
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"
His voice was cold and filled with suppressed anger.
"Who on earth is it, or rather...what, that could kill a mature organism right under our noses and destroy the entire hatching nest?"
"Is it another survivor base? Impossible! No base nearby has the strength and courage to do this!"
"Is it a more powerful mutant? An internal conflict? Or... the emergence of a third party force unknown to us?"
The officers and researchers below were terrified.
A researcher wearing gold-rimmed glasses stepped forward cautiously:
"Sir, judging by the traces at the scene, fire was the primary means of destruction. Strangely, there are no obvious signs of human activity. Instead, there are a lot of... rat hair and footprints, very densely packed."
"Rats?" The officer frowned. "Could those mutant rats cause such damage?"
"Ordinary mutant mice definitely won't work," the researcher said, pushing up his glasses.
"But if it's a rat tide, or... if a more special rat king-level individual appears, combined with burning materials, theoretically it's possible..."
"Ridiculous!" retorted another officer.
"No matter how clever a rat is, it's still a beast! How could they possibly use fire in such an organized way and even clean up the traces? There must be someone behind this!"
The meeting descended into controversy.
Finally, the stern officer made the final decision:
"Send more patrols and reconnaissance drones to expand the search area! Focus on checking all nearby ruins that may harbor humans!"
"Add more secret sentries to monitor all entrances and exits of the base and areas where known survivors are active!"
"The research institute needs to expedite the analysis of the samples we brought back. I need to know more about these creatures' weaknesses as soon as possible!"
"Remember, those who can find and destroy a nest aren't necessarily enemies, but they should never be underestimated! We must clearly identify them as friend or foe!"
I hope the base is like a war machine,
It runs efficiently and coolly.
More patrols appeared in the ruins,
Occasionally, you can even see small drones flying low over the sky for reconnaissance.
The area around Bai Li's territory was also given special attention several times.
Once, a five-member patrol team actually groped their way straight towards her small building!
The distance is less than 500 meters!
Through the crow's vision, we can see their professional search posture and sophisticated equipment.
Bai Li's heart tightened instantly!
[Hope Base's elite patrol is approaching the core territory! Extremely dangerous!]
Please make your choice:
[Option 1: Immediately lead all members (baby, cat, main zombie) to a deep underground hiding spot and abandon the surface base (Risk: Medium, the underground environment is unknown, the transfer process may leave traces, and the base's supplies may be damaged. Reward: Improvement in the effectiveness of the basic concealment technique (moderate), Weak Spiritual Energy +2)]
Option 2: Activate the Empty City Strategy! Order all controllable units to remain silent and concealed, utilizing the environment, Primary Stealth Technique, and Affinity Aura to maneuver, hoping the enemy won't notice the anomaly (Risk: High, once discovered, you'll be surrounded. Reward: Mental Toughness +2, Weak Spirit +1)
Option 3: Actively mislead! Send a small number of zombies in the opposite direction to create a disturbance and draw the patrol away. Sacrifice some zombies if necessary. (Risk: Medium-High, may expose the ability to control zombies, attracting further investigation. Reward: Increased zombie control accuracy (weak), Weak Spirit +3)
The virtual light screen flashes wildly, and every option comes with risks!
Option one? Abandon the base? No! My little ancestor can't stand the underground environment, and it's difficult to move supplies!
Option two? Gamble? Too passive! The opponent is an elite force. If we lose the bet, we lose everything!
"Choose three! Actively mislead!" A hint of determination flashed in Bai Li's eyes!
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, so you must seize the initiative!
[Select to confirm! Reward: Improved zombie control accuracy (slightly), Weak Spirit +3]
She immediately selected two relatively intact zombies.
They were given simple instructions: run westward, make noise, and pounce on humans when they see them!
The two zombies immediately carried out the order, knocking over the debris, making hoarse roars, and rushing towards the west.
