Chapter 33
Chapter 33
The five tank mechas successfully met with Qi Sicheng's team, but the meeting was not very friendly. Hundreds of mutated pollutants followed behind them, and the scene was the most beautiful scenery outside the base station tower.
There were so many pollutants that the mecha operators had to change direction and run.
When Zhao Lejie saw Qi Sicheng, the sadness of his experience that day came to his mind, and he shouted excitedly as if he had found his backbone: "Boss!"
Qi Sicheng: "What's going on with you guys?"
Hu Luobu: "Are you fucking crazy? Why do you have to cause so much trouble? Turn off your blinding shield!"
Zhao Lejie: "...I can't close it, I have to hold it."
Could it be that he doesn't want to turn it off? ? This thing can't be turned off.
Huo Yan met an acquaintance when he joined the team. "Isn't this Captain Qi and Deputy Captain Hu? What a coincidence."
Qi Sicheng noticed Huo Yan, who was the captain and leader of KID. "Captain Huo, what's going on?"
"Our commandos have already reached the base station tower." Huo Yan explained as he flew, the flashing lights of his mecha never stopping. "We are responsible for moving away the pollutants and creating opportunities for them."
Adjust pollutants…?
Qi Sicheng lowered his eyes slightly and saw the pollutants running under the flying mecha. He finally understood the purpose of the actions of these tank mechas. "This method is too wasteful of energy, and it is operated at night--"
Zhao Lejie: "Boss, there is enough energy. Our energy is full."
Hu Luobu had been saving energy along the way, but he still consumed 30%. Hearing this, he was shocked and asked, "Where do you get the energy from!?"
"Oh, this is a temporary charging point made by a little brother in our team. Don't you have enough energy? We are about to go back, so let's take you there." Huo Yan began to pull people in skillfully. "I'll pull you into the channel first. The signal in this broken place is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Get in the channel first to avoid losing contact."
Hu Luobu: "Charge some energy???"
Zhao Lejie coughed and said, "The energy from the secondary defense zone is temporarily borrowed."
Noisy communications and chaotic combat environment.
"Ji Qingfeng broke in!"
"Come on, come on, next one! You'll earn money if you rush in!"
"Hurry up, there are pollutants coming around outside! We have to get to the base station first!"
This was the first time that Qi Sicheng encountered such an extremely chaotic scene in all the years he had been carrying out missions. There was no strategy at all, and it was as if he had returned to the most primitive fighting scene. He and Hu Luobu and others were forced to join this escape, listening to the voices of other people in the communication while flying.
The entire area around the base station was in chaos, with all the mecha soldiers fighting on their own, with a clear goal of rushing into the base station tower.
In just a few moments, several mecha masters have already broken into the base station tower.
When Ying Chenlin rushed into the base station tower, the seven members of their commando team had already entered safely, leaving only the pollutants isolated outside the defense circle of the base station tower. "The recovery program is in the control room. Three people go to the control room, and the others wait for support."
"Pay attention to the lab inside the base station."
At this time, Ying Chenlin suddenly noticed a low sound accompanied by a crackling sound of electric current, and then he saw the mecha to which the sound belonged - Gale-qsc.
Ying Chenlin: "Why?"
Qi Sicheng glanced at the source of the sound and found that it was a KID base A-class mecha that he had never seen before. He told others the information he had: "There may be an observation room for poison poppies in the base station laboratory, where a large number of Class B pollutants are cultivated. We suspect that so much pollution is gathered near the base station tower because of the specificity of the poison poppies themselves."
"knew."
When Qi Sicheng heard the other party's response and wanted to remind him of something else, the signal of the mecha on the other side had gone dark, and it was obvious that he had left the mecha.
The voices in the communication channel were chaotic, but the man's voice was very clear. It seemed that he was directing these chaotic mecha divisions. "Is your commander KID-14258?"
"Command? Are you talking about Brother Ying?"
"No, we'll split into two teams and have someone lead them."
"Brother Ying helped plan the battle plan."
"Yes?" Qi Sicheng hesitated a little: "Captain Huo, is this a newcomer in your team?"
Huo Yan was there too, "Are you asking around already? There's a new kid in our base, so what? Are you trying to poach him? That won't work, our boss won't allow it."
Qi Sicheng had tried to recruit a few people from KID Huo Yan before, but was rejected outright. He said, "I'll ask, will you tell me?"
Hu Luobu also said: "Xu Yaojun left your KID, right? Is he the new gunner?"°
"That's not it." Huo Yan said simply: "He drives a guard mecha."
Qi Sicheng noticed another offline mecha signal in the communication channel, which was also from KID's Class A mecha. Who was the other one?
Ying Chenlin left the mecha cockpit, put on an isolator, and immediately turned and ran towards the laboratory.
He had already transferred the mission information to the optical computer, and the location of the laboratory was also in it. The terrain of the base station tower is much more complicated than that of the defense zone. He walked while flipping through the information about Class B pollutants, opium poppies. After quickly scanning the information, his brows furrowed tightly.
Class B pollutant opium poppy is naturally fragile, but it can survive in the wild thanks to its natural allure.
This temptation only works on pollutants. It can attract pollutants and cause them to hallucinate. It uses its temptation and hallucinogenic ability to deceive prey and absorb nutrients to survive.
But in the final analysis, it is only a Class B pollutant, and it loses its ability to resist when encountering higher-level pollutants.
The pollutants surrounding the base station towers include Class A pollutants, which is totally unacceptable based on the principle of pollutant level control.
Soon, Ying Chenlin ran to the third floor of the base station tower. The laboratory for cultivating Class B opium was at the end of the corridor.
He was about to move forward when suddenly someone pressed his shoulders from behind.
Ying Chenlin moved his hand back, and his mechanical arm collided with the arm of another person, and he could see the person clearly.
You Su changed his hand and pressed it on his wrist, moving Ying Chenlin's arm away. "You are quite skilled."
Ying Chenlin saw the man's face clearly and withdrew his hand: "Why are you here?"
You Su's base station tower was more advanced than his, and he thought the other party was in the control room.
"Curious about something, come and take a look." You Su's gaze fell on the end of the corridor, "But you'd better not go any further."
Ying Chenlin didn't say anything, waiting for You Su to explain.
"The pollution level in this place has exceeded the standard." You Su showed him the monitoring watch on his arm, which showed that the pollution index had reached 3,000.
Ying Chenlin frowned slightly. This was the interior of a base station tower, and there were pollution control facilities everywhere. Normally, the pollution value would be suppressed to below 1,000, and it was impossible for such a high value to appear. "When we first entered the tower, the pollution value was not this high."
"The laboratory door cannot be opened for the time being."
You Su said: "Wait for the signal to be restored and contact the management bureau."
It is impossible to carry the mecha inside the base station tower. The only defense they have is the combat uniform, and Ying Chenlin only has an isolator. This type of protective equipment can only resist the impact of pollution values below 4000 for 20 minutes. If they leave this laboratory, they cannot ensure their own safety.
The environment in the entire Tianyu Star Pollution Zone is weird, with stronger winds than usual and more pollutants than usual... There is a weird atmosphere everywhere, as if all the abnormalities have been deliberately magnified.
Ying Chenlin looked at the laboratory in front of him and said, "S-level pollutants have not appeared yet."
You Su glanced at him sideways, "Do you have any ideas?"
Ying Chenlin tilted his head and looked around. He had eliminated all the suspicious pollutants in the contaminated area, but he did not find the culprit that was suspected to have caused all the abnormalities on Tianyu Star. There was only one possibility, that is, this S-level pollutant was not recorded in the books and had never been captured by the detection system in the contaminated area.
It's like it doesn't exist in this space.
You Su leaned against the wall beside the corridor, his eyes swept across the interior of the base station tower, from the laboratory door to the end of the corridor, and inadvertently stopped on Ying Chenlin.
Ying Chenlin did not move. He stood there, his eyes fixed on the white, reflective floor of the corridor, as if thinking about something. His hair on his forehead was a little wet, and because of running, his bangs were a little parted in the middle, making his face look smaller.
Upon closer inspection, the child's appearance was not as childish as expected. There was a coldness in his eyes and eyebrows, and a maturity that did not match his age.
You Su narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he moved to the side, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Ying Chenlin's neck, which was pressed by the collar. He could vaguely see a red rope chain, and there seemed to be something strung underneath.
Just as he was about to see more clearly, the child who had been thinking with his head down suddenly raised his head.
The two looked at each other, and Ying Chenlin calmly
There seemed to be a gleam in his eyes.
For a moment, You Su was attracted by the strange look in the other person's eyes, which were particularly bright.
"Superpower." Ying Chenlin uttered two words, turned around and walked back.
You Su paused and asked, "Where are you going?"
Ying Chenlin had already walked a few steps away and said a location from a distance: "Master control room."
You Su raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this: "Someone has already gone to the control room."
"It's not a recovery program." Ying Chenlin walked quickly through the corridors, saying, "I need the detection system of the base station tower."
Most of the supernatural powers of pollutants above level S exceed conventional scientific knowledge. For example, the supernatural power of the S-level Welwitschia is that it can control the quicksand through its roots for its own use. All the abnormalities on Tianyu Star must be caused by this potential S-level pollutant. It controls everything around the base station tower like God, which must be related to its supernatural power.
You Su asked, "You want the detection system to find S-level pollutants? We didn't find any in the secondary defense zone, let alone here."
The automatic program provided by the Administration can repair all functions of the base station tower, including the detection system which has been mostly paralyzed.
When he was in the secondary defense zone before, Ying Chenlin had seen the functional system of the control room over there. At that time, the mecha technicians used the repair program to repair some functions of the secondary defense zone and restored the detection system, which could detect some special signals transmitted back from nearby foundations.
The system at that time was still able to recover some of the data of Welwitschia recorded in the foundation, but apart from Welwitschia, there were no other S-level reports.
"The detection system can't find it, but it can identify it." Ying Chenlin said.
In the control room of the base station tower, Ji Qingfeng had already inserted the program, and the repair progress popped up on the main screen. He waited for a long time, and the repair progress was only 20%. The other mecha masters were working on recovering data nearby. He was bored and walked out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ying Chenlin and You Su rushing over. They walked past him and entered the control room.
Ji Qingfeng: "Hey?"
Ying Chenlin went straight to the main system with a clear purpose and then turned on the detection system.
The mecha master next to him came over when he saw this, and seemed to not understand why Ying Chenlin turned on the detection system? If the detection system was useful, they wouldn't have to be so wary of sneak attacks from S-level pollutants.
But after looking for a while, they found that Ying Chenlin was not detecting the data outside, but directly opened the detection system and called up the pollution values inside the entire base station tower.
Soon, the pollution conditions in various places in the base tower were displayed, and the densely packed numbers made people dizzy. Ying Chenlin quickly cut the position of each detector, and the mecha master next to him was confused.
Ji Qingfeng came over and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Determine the pollution situation." Ying Chenlin explained.
The mecha masters looked at each other in confusion. Could they tell anything from this?
They also noticed when they came in that the pollution values in the base's high tower were higher than the original pollution values. It was obvious that the pollution level varied in different regions, but this could not determine anything. Could it be that the S-level pollutant that Ying Chenlin thought he could not find was hiding in this base's high tower?
Thinking of this, the mecha technicians also followed Ying Chenlin to observe. After watching for about five minutes, they did not find any reports of pollution values higher than 6000.
"The pollution value here is abnormal, but there is no report of 6,000."
"That S-level pollutant must be outside the base tower. How can there be such a hidden pollutant? Could it be that its ability is to hide?"
"There is no data recorded in the system. Could it be that this pollutant appeared out of thin air?"
Just when everyone was confused, Ying Chenlin, who was standing in front of the main system, suddenly said, "I think I found him."
"No way??? That thing is really in the tower?" Ji Qingfeng suddenly got goose bumps when he thought of this. He stared at the data on the main screen with wide eyes, uncertain, "How did you know this?"
"The pollution levels in the base don't seem to indicate high levels of pollutants, right?"
"The numbers we just cut over are as high as over 3,000 and as low as 1,000 or 2,000. This is not even an A-level mutation."
You Su saw the pollution value of the laboratory and suddenly understood: "The S-level pollutant is not here."
"Well, it's indeed not in here." Ying Chenlin did not continue to switch the detector. He adjusted the detection system and displayed the numerical reports of all the detectors in the base through a color scale chart. Different shades of red instantly appeared on the main screen.
The dark red areas are interlaced with the light red areas, like undulating blocks of color.
The area closest to the defense circle is light red, but inside the base's tower, it is distributed in different shades.
The mecha operators didn't feel anything before, but when they saw this picture, everyone's expression was filled with surprise.
"Is this system broken?!"
"Yeah! How is it possible that there are pollution changes just a few dozen meters away?"
"Look at the lab! Why is the contamination level in there only 2000? The corridor outside the lab has 3000!"
According to normal logic, the places with the highest pollution values in the base should be laboratories. For example, the laboratory for breeding and observing Class B pollutants has a pollution value of only about 2000, while the corridor outside the laboratory without pollutants has a pollution value of 2000 or even 3000.
You Su said: "Because there are pollution reduction facilities inside the base tower."
There are various laboratories inside the base tower. On the one hand, this place is used to maintain the normal operation of the entire Tianyu Star System. On the other hand, this place also undertakes some scientific research functions, so there are pollutant observation rooms, research laboratories, etc.
Normally, only robots are operating in the tower, but pollution reduction instruments will be installed in the tower to allow for regular entry and exit of management bureau personnel for maintenance and data entry. Especially in some observation rooms and laboratories, the pollution level is the highest on average in high towers, and pollution reduction measures will be more comprehensive.
The mecha master was puzzled: "Even if pollution reduction equipment is installed, the place with the highest pollution value in the base tower should still be the laboratory, and there are no pollutants in the corridor-"
Such pollution numbers are obviously abnormal.
Ying Chenlin looked at the color scale chart and explained calmly: "Didn't you notice? The lighter areas on the chart are where a large number of pollution reduction equipment are installed, while the higher pollution values are where there are fewer pollution reduction equipment. Because from the beginning, the pollution values of the entire Tianyu Star were normal. The only abnormality was the area with a high value report of 6,000 on Base Station Tower C."
He casually retrieved the data on Class B narcotics in the laboratory and used the instruments in the laboratory to conduct close-range testing. The data that popped up was consistent with the test report for Class B pollutants, with a pollution value of only around 1,000. With such contamination values, it is impossible for a report of 2000 to appear in the laboratory.
"That is to say, the value of the pollutant itself has not changed. The B-level opium poppy has a B-level report, and the S-level welwitschia has an S-level report. The detection system is not broken at all." Ying Chenlin said: "The reason why there are reports above 6,000 is most likely because we are inside this S-level pollutant."
Lin Yao was stunned for a moment: "Inside!? Are we in its belly?"
Ying Chenlin: "No, the ability of this pollutant is very likely similar to the ability of space or field. It can spread its own pollution value evenly, completely mimic the entire environment, and blend into the environment."
Brother Liu, who had been listening to Ying Chenlin and You Su's analysis, suddenly said, "Is it a mimicry ability? I've often seen this kind of ability in another polluted area. There is a kind of chameleon pollutant that can completely blend into the environment."
"Yes, but the influence range of mimicry abilities is not so wide. It is more likely to be a spatial ability." Ying Chenlin continued: "It can be completely integrated into this area. Its original form may be an A-level pollutant, and its pollution value is similar to the average pollution value of the Tianyu Star pollution area. Therefore, the detection system did not detect it, and the detection report is only an A-level report with the same pollution value as the Tianyu Star."
"Until it evolved to S-level, the pollution value report reached over 6,000, and the Tianyu Star detection system detected an abnormal report, and the pollution level of the entire Tianyu Star was affected."
This spatial pollutant with similar mimicry ability is likely to encompass the entire base site C within a radius of 100 miles. It itself is a core source of pollution, and all average pollution values within its spatial range will be based on its own pollution value.
Lin Yao: “Ah?”
Ji Qingfeng patted him on the shoulder and tried to explain with his own understanding: "This S-level pollutant has created a large circle. In its circle, the pollution values are all reported as above 6000. We are in its circle now, so we have not been able to find it." ⑩This ⑩work ⑩by ⑩
"Spatial mimicry! No wonder!"
"That's why the pollution level in the tower is so abnormal."
For example, if it is only 5000, then there are only 5000 in the space, which is similar to the average pollution level of Tianyu Star, so it will not be discovered.
When it mutated and advanced to level 6000S, the average value in the space reached 6000, and reports of abnormalities appeared on the Tianyu Star.
If there is no defense system of the base tower, then the pollution value of the base tower and the space within it will also be over 6000.
With the first-level defense system and pollution reduction equipment throughout the base, the pollution value has been decreasing again and again, which is why this strange pollution value situation appears.
At this time, a mecha master asked in confusion: "It doesn't make sense. If it just uses space to enclose this place, why would so many pollutants outside gather near this tower? Even if high-level pollutants drive low-level pollutants downward, it is impossible to affect so many pollutants at the same time!"
Ying Chenlin was about to say another idea in his mind when You Suo beside him suddenly said, "Have you heard of S-level dual-powered pollutants?"
Ji Qingfeng was surprised and said, "There is no record of dual-powered pollutants in the Star Alliance."
"Or to put it another way, have you ever heard of an S-level dual-attribute energy crystal?"
You Su said lazily, "Generally speaking, pollutants cannot have dual abilities, but there are cases where one ability has two characteristics. The Third Star Region once discovered an S-level dual-attribute ability crystal. Its ability is called [Positive and Negative Enhancement]. It comes from an S-level mutant snake king. Its fangs can weaken the enemy when biting it, and it can enhance its own abilities when biting itself."
"If this pollutant is a spatial ability, then it is very likely that its space has another effect of strengthening."
S-level dual-attribute supernatural crystal! ? That is an S-level supernatural crystal treasure, a priceless treasure!
Ji Qingfeng reacted and thought: "If it is a reinforcement... then it is really possible. It can strengthen its ability to drive lower powers."
What caused the high tower at point C of the base station to become like this was not the poison in the laboratory, but more likely the power of this unknown pollutant.
This pollutant can not only hide itself in the Tianyu Star, but also drive other pollutants to cover it.
Lin Yao began to have a headache: "But according to what you said, how can we find it? Isn't it impossible to find it by testing the pollution value?"
Ying Chenlin: "Then let's try another method and detect living organisms."
Generally, the simplest and fastest pollution source positioning system is used to capture pollutant information. However, this positioning system is currently ineffective for this type of pollutant, so we can only use the most primitive life detection system. This system can use biological characteristics to find all living organisms active in the area, including humans and pollutants.
After Ying Chenlin finished speaking, the mecha engineer next to him had quickly called up the system to conduct an area detection near the tower, but when the detector was moving, the detection map was filled with dense red dots.
Biological testing is indeed useful, but the entire outside of this tower is filled with pollutants, and there are tens of thousands of biological data!
Lin Yao looked confused: "How do we find this? Are you guys here to find fault?"
Ji Qingfeng murmured: "Have you ever played such a dense
Are you guys here to find fault? ? ? ”
"Do subtraction, subtract the known pollutant information around here, and lock in the remaining ones."
Ying Chenlin glanced at the progress of the repair test. There was still 30% time left. If it was really the two characteristics of space enhancement, then this pollutant might be very flexible...
Thinking of this, he quickly said: "The task of locking it is left to you. I will go outside the tower to check the situation. Once the system is restored, send a communication request to all mecha divisions."
After saying that, the man walked out of the control room.
There is simply too much biological information, and it is impossible to judge it using the pollutant-targeting method.
Among the densely packed red dots, there is too much biological information that they don’t understand.
After the people left, Brother Liu looked at the densely packed red dot screen tremblingly and said, "This calculation project is a bit large. There are at least fifty kinds of pollutants nearby. If there are any that are not entered into the system, we need to help exclude mutant species and then find suspected targets from these mutant species... This requires human eye recognition, right?"
Someone nearby consoled him, "Human eye recognition, it's okay. Brother Ying is not here, but we still have six pairs of eyes here. Right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to look in the direction of the others, and saw the open door of the control room. It was empty, as if revealing how decisively and quickly the others had left.
There were only three mecha masters, including him, left in the spacious control room. The man closest to the door retracted his foot and coughed awkwardly, "Hey, I just wanted to go out and take a look. Brother Liu, you said it's too late. Just now, KID's people followed Brother Ying and ran away."
Brother Liu: “?”
Another mecha master looked at the red dot information on the screen blankly: "Hmm... Brother Liu, maybe we need to use three pairs of eyes to do the elimination method now."
In the corridor, Ying Chenlin quickly turned the corner, and the red rope on the side of his neck began to sway along with the loose collar as he ran. After a while, a slight fluctuation came from the key under the red rope, and the memory device that touched it also lit up.
Ying Chenlin stopped suddenly, as if he realized something, and when he lowered his head he saw the bright red light.
He was stunned, and when he took out the key from his neck, the light had gradually dimmed, leaving only a deep crack on the surface of the small storage device that stored the S-level energy crystal and was tied to the mecha key.
When he was swimming downstream, he saw Ying Chenlin standing still and seemed to have put something into his collar.
High up, on top of the base station tower.
In the darkness, a strange-looking pollutant was crouching outside the defense shield of the high tower, its slightly opened mouth revealing long fangs, its scarlet eyes staring at several running figures in the defense shield, a few drops of saliva dripping between its fangs.
The author has something to say:
Others in the control room: Damn, how can we keep track of so much information?
KID and others (run as soon as the door opens): S-level dual-attribute supernatural crystal! A treasure that money can’t buy!
