Little Cold Star (8)
During this special period, Shi Jianxia decided to turn a blind eye and teach the little rascal a lesson later.
Gongye Ji saw that her attention was focused on how to open the gate of the military base, and smiled and made a hushing gesture to Xixi who came out again.
朏朏 followed his gaze and looked at Shi Jianxia, whose ears drooped like airplane ears, looking pitiful.
But it also knew that Shi Jianxia always kept his word and would not praise it if he didn't want to. He would not compromise just because it acted coquettishly. So it got over the grievance it had just felt, jumped onto Gongye Jiwang's shoulders, put up its front legs to pad, and put on an obedient look.
Cheng Huang glanced at it secretly, and then looked back with confidence.
Gongye Jiwang had no idea what the two were up to, so he ignored them and walked over to Shi Jianxia and asked, "Did you find anything?"
It would be great if we could enter the base directly by opening this door without having to break it down violently.
The base was built on a raised hill. Since Buzhou Mountain had checked it in advance, the two of them didn't need to spend time investigating. Shi Jianxia had already learned the full picture of the hill from its feedback.
"This is the main entrance. There are several more hidden entrances, but the control mechanisms for those entrances are probably inside the base. If we don't consider violent destruction, we can only find a way from here."
In addition, several missile launch ports were discovered on Mount Buzhou, but they were all sealed from the inside.
Gongye Jiwang observed the gate, which was almost embedded in the mountain rock, for a moment and said, "I don't know how to open the gate to the military base. I think it's more strictly controlled than the Zerg Investigation Office. Shouldn't we just remove the gate?"
Shi Jianxia had no objection, but the door of the military base was not so easy to destroy. If the control system inside the base was still maintaining a low-energy operation state like the Twin Towers, opening the door violently would likely trigger its defense mechanism and attack them in turn.
Gongye Jiwang was not worried about this. He moved his knuckles, and pale star fire flowed out and turned into an extremely sharp sword.
He turned his head to Shi Jianxia and said, "I'll do it. It might make a lot of noise. Please step back."
Shi Jianxia knew that his fighting ability was inferior to his, so he would not compete on such matters. He made an OK gesture, got back on the aircraft, and retreated hundreds of meters with a group of Xiaoshan.
-
With a loud bang, rocks collapsed, dust flew, and the thin snow covering the hillside fell down and piled up in a thick layer in the low-lying areas, revealing the dead branches and dry grass on the hillside.
The parasites wandering nearby heard the sound and turned their heads. Shi Jianxia noticed their reactions and thought to himself, "Oh no!"
The parasites are very sensitive to sound, and such a loud noise will definitely attract their attention, and they will rush to the base entrance in groups.
At that time, she and Gongye Jiwang would inevitably have to fight a big battle with the group of parasites, but if they got entangled with them, the battle would not be over in a short time and might even attract more parasites.
She couldn't let them pass, but she couldn't stop so many parasites either.
Shi Jianxia suddenly had an idea. He took out the three-colored pheasant from his space bracelet, which he had used to lure the parasite to hunt him during the midterm exam but had not used up yet. He cut off the blood and let the gods take it away.
The temptation of raw meat to the parasites was far greater than the sound of the base gate being broken open. The parasites, which had not devoured a living thing for a long time, smelled the scent and ran forward like crazy, following Shenshan.
Some low-level parasites were even crushed to pieces by the higher-level parasites behind them because they were not fast enough.
As long as the insect crystals in the parasite's head can still provide energy for its torso, it can struggle to get up even if it rots into a pile of mud. So behind a group of running parasites, there are many mud-like monsters moving, and the scene is quite disgusting.
Watching the approaching swarm of parasites being lured away, Shi Jianxia breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, but also felt a little bit of pain.
Having landed on this planet full of parasites, there is no meat to eat and she can only survive on nutrient solution. Her stock of tricolor pheasants is limited, and if she uses one more, there will be one less.
If he had to stay on Xiaohan Star for several months and drink nutrient solution every day, Shi Jianxia felt stomach cramps just thinking about it.
The noise at the base had almost died down. Shi Jianxia controlled the aircraft to fly back and saw the tall and graceful Gongye Jiwang outside the broken gate.
He always has a temperament that is different from ordinary people. He is calm and composed, as if nothing can shake him. It really makes people want to tear off his composure and see him panic or plunder like crazy.
Shi Jianxia suppressed the strange feelings in his heart, and despised himself for being single for so long. Seeing such a beautiful boy who was good in every way, he began to have wild thoughts. However, he pretended to be calm and put away the aircraft.
A hole was opened in the tall and heavy metal gate. The cut was more than three meters from the ground, smooth and neat, just enough for two people to enter side by side.
How could such a small gap cause such a big commotion? The ground was shaking so much just now that she even wondered if Gongye Jiwang was going to split the entire mountain in half.
Gongye Jiwang seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and explained, "The gate is connected to the interior of the mountain. A single move could affect the entire structure. However, the base's self-protection system seems to have been damaged, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to destroy this gate."
He was the first to jump over the gap, observe the situation inside, and make sure there was no Zerg invasion before turning back and saying, "Shall we go in?"
Shi Jianxia left a group of Shenshan outside to keep watch, to prevent the parasites from coming back and trapping them inside.
The base, which had been sealed for a long time, was damp and cold, with a musty smell. The corners were covered with moss, and many instruments were rusted.
The situation inside was more chaotic than the two had imagined. Many things were spread out, as if it had been robbed. Judging from the traces, it was not caused by Gongye Jiwang's violent breaking into the house.
This was Shi Jianxia's first time entering a military base. Looking at the desolate scene in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
Judging from the outline of the outer hill, the base is quite large and it will take a lot of time to explore. Shi Jianxia released Meng Ji and the other cubs to let them first find out the general situation of the base and eliminate unnecessary areas for exploration.
The guys were already very familiar with the work of investigation. They rushed out one after another and disappeared in a flash.
Gongye Jiwang knew more about the military base. "Although the base's self-protection system has been damaged, many of its organs operate independently. The anti-intrusion level is very high. Be careful."
Shi Jianxia nodded.
Unlike the Zerg Research Office's upward-building twin towers, the military base is built downwards, with five floors. Many places require a permission card to enter.
Not to mention that the two of them didn't have permission cards. Now the control system inside the base had stopped working, so even if they had permission cards, they couldn't use them. Whenever they encountered a place they couldn't enter, they would just chop the door open. They had never encountered an attack from the anti-intrusion system.
I went into several armories in succession, but there was no space shuttle, not even a mechanical heavy gun, or some damaged missile launchers.
There are still some unused weapon parts in the sealed storage, but these are useless to the two people with mimicry.
Shi Jianxia spread his hands and said, "It seems that this place was indeed emptied of all usable weapons during the evacuation."
According to Yan Qing, the Zerg invaded Xiaohan Star on a large scale, and the human habitat quickly fell.
If the Xiaohan Star government wants to curb the expansion of the Zerg, it must invest a large number of people with special abilities and weapons. It is natural that the arsenal in the military base has been completely exhausted.
Gongye Jiwang noticed that she was a little discouraged and soothed her, "Xiaohan Star is so big, there must be more than one military base. We can slowly search for it. If that doesn't work, we can also collect materials for Yan Qing and let him build a space shuttle."
However, the space shuttle is not easy to make, and they will most likely have to stay on Xiaohan Star for quite some time.
Gongye Jiwang thought about it and put all the parts in the sealed storage into the space bracelet. He wanted to take it back and let Yan Qing pick out the useful ones and prepare to make the space shuttle first. If he really couldn't find a ready-made one in the end, this would save some time.
Military robots were also brought back. Their built-in chips had programs for repairing and manufacturing military weapons, which might be of great help.
Shi Jianxia also took out the chips from those rusty machines. If the chips were not damaged, he could import the contents into the built-in chips of the military robots.
The two were busy and had almost put all the useful things into the space ring. They were about to explore the next area when Shi Jianxia suddenly sensed the information from Meng Ji.
Her eyebrows moved slightly: "Meng Ji has made some discoveries, let's go and take a look."
-
"Major General Mo Shuwei." Shi Jianxia looked at the nameplate on the table covered with a thin layer of dust and read out the five words on it.
This is an officer's office, probably belonging to Major General Mo Shuwei.
Gongye Jiwang was looking at the person sitting in the chair at the desk.
To be precise, it was a male corpse.
He was wearing a military combat uniform and major general's epaulettes. His limbs were injured in many places, as if his skin had been cut by a sharp blade, but the wounds were not deep and the blood had dried and coagulated. His head was hanging down at this time. From the perspective of the two people, only the messy hair on the top of his head could be seen. His hands were completely hanging on both sides of the seat, and it seemed that he had lost all strength before his death.
"Is he Major General Mo Shuwei?" Shi Jianxia asked hesitantly.
The shoulder straps matched the identity of a major general, but neither she nor Gongye Jiwang knew Major General Mo Shuwei.
"The body isn't decayed. Did he die recently?"
How could there be a body in a military base that had been sealed for over a decade that hadn't decayed or had any signs of livor mortis? Unless he was still alive not long ago.
Is he a hidden gem like Yan Qing and his sister?
Gongye Jiwang shook his head, and the star fire flowed out and condensed into a sword. The tip of the sword was against the chin of the corpse, trying to lift his head, but the major general's body was completely stiff, and forcing him to lift his head would only break his larynx and spine.
The star fire changed again, condensing into an enlarged hand. Gongye Jiwang lifted the corpse from the air and placed it on the ground.
When Shi Jianxia saw the face of the deceased, his pupils suddenly dilated, and Gongye Jiwang also raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
They knew this person.
"He is Nan Chi, the former principal of Nan Teng Military Academy." Shi Jianxia licked his slightly dry lips, his tone a little vague.
He didn't know whether Principal Nan Chi worked in the military, but Zhuang Mingyue said that he and his father went on that secret mission together, and all the people who carried out the mission disappeared.
My father was seriously injured and his mimicry was broken, so he was taken back to Bianhua by the doctor. Why did Principal Nan Chi appear on Xiaohan Star, which had been occupied thirteen years ago? Could it be that they were carrying out their mission on Xiaohan Star at that time?
A planet that has already fallen, what is the need for more than ten senior military officers with extraordinary combat capabilities to come here together, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
Where did the doctor meet her father? Was it a coincidence that the imposter brought her here, or did he have another purpose?
More and more doubts filled Shi Jianxia's mind, and he became more curious about the secret mission his father had carried out ten years ago.
Gongye Jiwang put on his gloves and half-knelt down to check on Nan Chi's condition. The more he looked, the deeper his frown deepened. "He has been dead for a long time. Perhaps because his mimicry level was high enough and he was kept in a low temperature environment for a long time, his body did not decay."
"Can the exact time of death be determined?" Shi Jianxia asked impatiently.
Gongye Jiwang shook his head and said, "Without professional testing equipment, it's impossible to tell."
"How could he die here?" he murmured softly. "His internal organs were nearly shattered, his capillaries ruptured, his arteries constricted... he died from internal injuries."
Nan Chi is a powerful second-level extraordinary warrior. The benefits of mimicry on his body are unimaginable for ordinary people. What kind of power can cause him internal injuries to death?
Gongye Jiwang took off Nan Chi's combat uniform and prepared to conduct further inspection, when he suddenly noticed that he was holding something tightly in his right hand.
It is a palm-sized booklet.
This booklet seemed to be very important to him. Even after his death, he would hold it tightly in his palm until one day someone found him, opened his palm and took it out.
Gongye Jiwang's star fire was a cold flame, ineffective in warming the body. He stepped back and said to Shi Jianxia, "Try to soften his hand. This booklet should contain something very important."
Shi Jianxia's heart was beating like a drum. He blinked hard and summoned Bifang.
She controlled the temperature of the Bifang fire to a level that would provide warmth, and slowly moved towards Nan Chi.
After a while, his tightly clenched right hand loosened, and the booklet fell into Shi Jianxia's palm.
The surface of the booklet was stained with blood, which had dried and turned black, and no longer had the bloody smell.
Shi Jianxia carefully opened the booklet and saw four words written in charcoal on the title page:
Nan Chi's last work.
Is it a suicide note?
Shi Jianxia took a deep breath and slowly turned over.
[Whoever finds me, please be sure to hand me and this manual over to Marshal Jiang Wenzhan]
