Chapter 197
This time, the number of people who followed Scott to raid the central research laboratory in the primeval forest, including Wu Zimo, was only seven. Except for Luo Ziliya and the people who were responsible for protecting them, everyone else stayed on the Alman to prevent any accidents and provide support.
As for the division of responsibilities of the dispatched team, there is no need to mention Marshal Scott. He is undoubtedly the strongest fighter among the seven people, and Wu Zimo is in charge of the communication network. When the other five people heard that Wu Zimo was in charge, they all looked sideways.
Because they never expected that their marshal's wife could be stronger than Cartel who was originally planned to join the team. This kid Cartell can compete with Lao Yu, the guy who likes to play dirty.
The cartel knew that Wu Zimo had replaced him, and he didn't harbor any resentment. However, the look in his eyes made Wu Zimo speechless. Wu Zimo had no choice but to speak to this nine-foot tall man who wanted to speak but didn't dare to, and who was shy and embarrassed.
"Wait until I come back and then we can have a fight?"
"May I?"
After Wu Zimo said this, Cartell's eyes immediately lit up, and then he turned to look at Scott who was standing next to Wu Zimo. The Marshal's wife's words don't count. The Marshal must nod his head!
"..."Haha, seeing that Carter was looking at Scott expectantly, Wu Zimo wanted to give him a kick.
Although Wu Zimo was depressed before setting off, he still quickly packed up the necessary tools and took a deep breath. This time would be different from the last time he dealt with the dimensional Zerg, so he tried his best not to hold Scott back.
"Set off!"
"yes!"
Scott chose noon as the time of departure, which was the busiest time on the planet Tyche. When the seven of them avoided the surveillance and appeared at the entrance of the forest, the Cupid's Festival parade just entered the area.
Now, all eyes in this area were shifted to the parade. Scott felt it with his powerful mental power and nodded to others. He picked up Wu Zimo and led the way. The other five people followed Scott into the forest quickly like his shadow.
Six figures were running quickly in the primeval forest with towering trees. Not only the five people following Scott, but even Scott who was holding Wu Zimo, were walking in the forest full of various plants as relaxed and casual as if they were on a vast plain.
Wu Zimo had been leaning quietly in Scott's arms, and expressed no pressure at all about the fact that he could only be carried by Scott. He is just a weak guide and really cannot compare with this group of non-human sentinels.
The forest where the laboratory is located is the largest and most intact primeval forest on the planet Tyka. If the royal family of the Mora Empire had not built a laboratory here for the sake of confidentiality, there would be no human habitation inside the forest.
Relying solely on foot strength, even if Scott and his team were very fast, it would be impossible for them to reach their destination as quickly as driving a battleship.
Wu Zimo looked at the time and found that they had been running in the forest for more than an hour. Looking up, Scott's expression had not changed at all. He was not breathing and there was no sweat on his forehead. Not only Scott, but also the five people following behind him had the same expression as Scott.
Wu Zimo sighed again, these sentinels are indeed non-human! An hour of continuous running at a speed of at least a hundred yards is like taking a walk, which is very tiring.
"Zimo?"
Although they had investigated this primeval forest and confirmed that there were no dangerous predators in it, Scott still did not relax. After entering the forest, his mental power covered a one-kilometer area centered on him.
This range is enough for him to react to unexpected accidents.
Because his mental power was constantly being released, he could easily notice the changes in Wu Zimo's expression. Scott thought that Wu Zimo was feeling uncomfortable after running for a long time.
However, we did not expect that the team had been running for a long time, but our Marshal's wife was carried by the Marshal the whole time, without consuming any energy at all.
With concern in his silver eyes, Wu Zimo shook his head, "I'm fine, I just thought about you guys, aren't you tired?"
When Scott spoke, the five people following behind Scott also heard the concern in the marshal's tone. In fact, they refused to let the marshal's wife carry out the mission together, because their marshal's wife looked too weak.
The team members were worried that they would not be able to take good care of the Marshal's wife when facing the enemy, but since the Marshal nodded, they had no objection.
They all thought about taking care of the Marshal's wife during the battle, so when Wu Zimo spoke, they were stunned at first. The more lively ones among the five couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Hearing the laughter, Wu Zimo became even more confused.
"Ma'am, running for an hour at this speed is less than one-fifth of our normal daily training."
"..." After this explanation, Wu Zimo smacked his lips and finally decided to shut up. Comparing normal people with non-humans is simply asking for trouble!
Scott looked down and saw the depression on the face of the boy in his arms, and a smile appeared in his eyes. But they didn't say anything, because what Yi Ya said was right. Running for an hour at this speed without any weight on their bodies was indeed like taking a walk for them.
After a while, Wu Zimo finally calmed down from the shock of being inhuman, and asked Scott, "How long will it take to reach the destination?"
"It's going to take three and a half hours."
If there are no accidents on the road, they can reach the laboratory in the evening, and they will start work when it gets dark.
The planet Tyche is just like Earth, with a 24-hour day. At around 6 or 7 in the afternoon, the sky starts to get dark. It feels a bit like winter, where it gets dark earlier, unlike summer when it feels like the sun is still overhead at 7 o'clock.
Scott was talking to Wu Zimo, but his pace did not slow down at all. The five elites following Scott did not speak again.
There were marshals monitoring their mental power all around, so they remained alert and on guard to prevent any accidents.
Three and a half hours, Wu Zimo originally planned to stay alert and watch Scott get through it. Just being held in Scott's arms, with his nose filled with Scott's unique scent, that scent that made him instinctively feel at ease, made Wu Zimo struggle for a while, but in the end he couldn't stand his increasingly heavy eyelids.
The breathing volume of an awake person is different from that of a sleeping person. In addition, the six sentinels present were all strong men who could see and hear everything in all directions.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry or to admire the marshal that his wife could actually fall asleep in such a situation.
It is only possible to sleep well in such an environment when you are completely relaxed and trust each other. Similarly, they should be proud of it, because this is evidence that the Marshal's wife trusts them.
Well, the five elites didn't show any sign of boasting on their faces, but their movements became lighter and lighter as they ran.
Even though Scott had no eyes at the back of his head, he could see clearly the changes in the team members behind him with his mental power.
A hint of warmth flashed across his eyes. When he looked down at the young man sleeping in his arms with his eyelashes trembling slightly but with a very peaceful expression, his silver eyes were full of tenderness and affection.
Wu Zimo slept quite comfortably, surrounded by a sense of security and the slight rocking sensation when Scott was running around, just like a cradle, so it was not surprising that Wu Zimo felt sleepy.
This was the conclusion our great MO came to after he woke up and reflected on himself. So it was all Scott's fault that he fell asleep at such a tense moment!
"woke up?"
"Ahem, how long will it take?"
Wu Zimo was being proud in his heart, but of course he would not show it on his face. He nodded randomly and asked Scott how long it would take for them to arrive. In fact, he just wanted to find out indirectly how long he had slept.
I’m sorry to ask directly, it’s so embarrassing!
Although Wu Zimo didn't say anything, the faint pink on his face made Scott smile, but he didn't say anything to expose him.
Following Wu Zimo's question, he answered, "About ten minutes." They didn't encounter any danger along the way, so they arrived at their destination very smoothly on time.
Excluding the first hour or so, so he slept for about two hours? Really... awesome! Even Wu Zimo had to admire himself.
hehe……
This time, the five elites who had been listening to the Marshal and his wife's conversation with their ears perked up behind them finally held back their laughter when they were about to laugh.
How come they didn't find the Marshal's wife so funny after spending so much time with her on the Alman?
This is not surprising. Apart from Chef Li, there are not many people who can have private contact with Wu Zimo. Wu Zimo usually appears in front of everyone, following Scott with a quiet and peaceful look like a chicken, which is very intimidating.
The ten-minute journey that Scott mentioned might take a weakling like Wu Zimo a lot of running, but for Scott and his group of non-humans, it felt like it was over in the blink of an eye.
Soon the group of seven arrived at the location they had chosen to hide.
It is a small mountain with strange rocks.
This place is still a little distance away from the laboratory, but from the top of the mountain, you can observe the laboratory in the distance. The reason why this place was chosen as the ambush site was that after observation, it was found that this was obviously a very important defense location but no one was stationed here.
Because all the electronic equipment here cannot be used, it is suspected that the strange rocks in the mountains or the mineral radiation under the ground affect the electronic equipment.
To be honest, in the interstellar age, there are very few natural areas that can still affect electronic equipment. In addition, the strangeness of this strange rock forest was discovered only after the research laboratory was established, so it could only be left alone.
Anyway, the impact on electronic instruments is the same.
As technology develops, humans become more and more dependent on it, yet they forget that human abilities are sometimes more powerful than electronic devices.
