Chapter 31 The Empty Base
"Huh... we're finally here." Qin Hao also let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, marching in the jungle with two burdens was much more tiring than when he was alone.
"Qin Hao, don't worry. After I return to the battleship, I will definitely help you get a transfer order!" Pang Meng was also very emotional. When the transport plane was shot down, he felt that he was dead. Unexpectedly,
There is actually a chance to return to the human base alive.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go there." Qin Hao took the lead in walking towards Coles Valley.
"There seems to be something wrong..." Lucia muttered.
Qin Hao also frowned at this time. Even Lucia discovered the problem. Could he not notice it?
At this time, the Coles Valley was extremely quiet. The entire valley was filled with dead silence. Qin Hao and others had arrived at the entrance of the valley, but not a single human soldier appeared.
"Could it be..." Qin Hao had a bad feeling in his heart. I'm afraid this base has also been abandoned!
After passing through the valley mouth full of bomb craters, Qin Hao and others arrived at the entrance of the human base. The place was in a mess, obviously caused by the hasty retreat of the defenders.
"The base was evacuated without being breached?" Qin Hao raised his head and looked at the metal isolation wall at the entrance of the valley. There was no sign that the complete wall or gate had been breached.
"Beep beep beep..." Qin Hao connected his battlefield recorder and control device at the gate.
"Identity being confirmed..."
"Identity confirmed!"
With a mechanical sound, the door opened a gap, enough for Qin Hao and others to enter.
"Are we going in?" Lucia asked weakly, she always felt that it seemed to be more dangerous inside.
This base is now empty, and after losing its popularity, the closed environment inside gives people a depressing feeling.
"There should be communication equipment inside. I can ask the battleship for help and ask them to send a landing craft to pick us up!" Pang Meng said. His level is still relatively high enough for the fleet to send people to rescue.
"That's all we have to do!" Qin Hao nodded. Coles Valley was their only hope. If they couldn't establish contact with the fleet here, the next human stronghold would be more than two thousand kilometers away.
Then Qin Hao walked into the human base, Lucia carefully followed Qin Hao by his sleeve, and Xiao Hei dragged Pang Meng in behind.
"Click...chi...bang!" As the hydraulic device started, the door of the base closed again.
"Yeah!" Lucia was startled by the sound of the door closing. The surroundings were so quiet that everyone's nerves were tense.
"Don't be too nervous, it'll be okay." Qin Hao comforted.
"Yeah!" Lucia calmed down, but her hand holding Qin Hao's sleeve tightened.
"Sir, do you know where the communication device is?" Qin Hao asked Pang Meng.
"It should be in the command center." Pang Meng said.
"Okay!" Qin Hao nodded and was the first to walk towards the command center.
As he walked, Qin Hao carefully observed the ground. The alloy floor here was very intact, and there were no signs of tunnel worms. Moreover, in the huge base, not only were there no human soldiers, not even a single corpse was left. It was obvious that this place
I haven't experienced any combat.
"Why on earth?" Qin Hao was full of doubts. He didn't understand why this base was evacuated out of thin air. You must know that Pang Meng and Lucia's destination was this base. Their transport plane crashed three days ago.
In other words, the base was still operating at that time.
What happened in the past three days that caused humans to completely abandon this base, without even having time to evacuate various equipment.
"Creak..." With a soft sound, Qin Hao pushed open the door of the command center and walked in.
"Beep beep beep..." Various instruments in the command center are still running, and the indicator lights of various colors are still flashing. Various signs show the haste of the defenders' evacuation.
At this time, Lucia also walked in with Pang Meng, while Xiao Hei was left outside. After all, there were lines everywhere. If it chewed one off while it was idle, Qin Hao and the others would be completely lost.
Got in touch with the fleet.
"Sir, which one do you think is the communication device?" Qin Hao took the initiative to step aside. He was good at fighting, but he, a big-headed soldier, was not good at controlling the equipment because he had never learned it before.
"Well..." Pang Meng glanced around the command center. He quickly found the communication device and started operating it.
"Zi la...Zi la..." The sound of electricity rang out from the microphone.
"This is Coles Valley Military Base, can anyone hear me?"
"This is Coles Valley Military Base, can anyone hear me?"
…
Pang Meng called over and over again, but the only response was the monotonous sound of electricity.
"Zizi... This is the destroyer Riente, my God! There is finally news from Coles Valley!" A voice came from the microphone, and it should have been a good thing to be able to get in touch with the fleet, but the other party's words
But Qin Hao and the others felt their hearts sink.
"I am Dr. Pangmeng. We are currently at the Coles Valley base, but there are no defenders here, and the entire base is empty!" Pangmeng said into the microphone.
"What?! Has Coles Valley been breached?" The voice in the microphone suddenly changed. It was obvious that the previous correspondent was pushed away. This person should be an army officer.
"There are no signs of fighting here, but all the defenders are gone! No living people, no dead bodies!" Pang Meng said loudly.
"Dr. Pangmeng, please wait a moment. I will contact the fleet commander and a transport boat will be coming to pick you up soon," the officer said.
"Thank you!" Pang Meng replied.
After hanging up the communication, Qin Hao and the other two looked at each other, and no one spoke.
The defenders of Coles Valley did not evacuate, so on a planet full of insect swarms, if they suddenly disappeared, the outcome could be imagined.
"This is a larger military base with two divisions of troops stationed, but now they are all gone..." Pang Meng muttered to himself.
"Maybe it's not safe here!" Qin Hao stood up, a sense of crisis filling his heart again.
"Are we leaving?" Lucia asked.
"No! The entire Alpha Planet is in danger. We can only be completely safe if we return to the battleship." Pang Meng said.
"Yeah! So we have to wait here for rescue!" Qin Hao also nodded. If they leave the base, they will lose contact with the fleet. When rescue comes, they won't know where to find them.
Chapter completed!
