In front of the city wall of the Pumpkin Bunker, six motorcycle airships were jetting off opposing airflows, floating quietly in mid-air.
For the bunker residents living near the holy city of Buckloo, this thing is not uncommon. It is one of the standard patrol configurations of the Academy Guard.
They even knew the data of the airship clearly.
The maximum speed is 120 kilometers, the maximum endurance is 800 kilometers, the maximum ascent height is 30 meters, and the maximum load is 500 kilograms.
Normal patrols are equipped with two pulse stun guns with a range of 200 meters. If they hit, they can release ultra-high voltage to suppress the enemy.
When out fighting, you are equipped with an intelligently controlled laser gun with a range of 500 meters, which can cause a lot of damage.
However, for the gophers living around Qinggang City and the players who have traveled from the earth.
This thing is strange.
Standing in front of the barracks door, Dreamer blocked the dazzling sunlight with his hands, looked at these airships and exclaimed in surprise:
"This thing is so advanced. It should use anti-gravity technology. Those airflows are just to maintain balance and direction."
If you were to support such a thing with pure airflow, the noise alone would probably be heard several kilometers away.
But now the sound the airship makes is roughly the same as water boiling in a kettle, which is enough to show the advanced technology inside it.
"By the way, do you need a driver's license to fly this airship?"
"Uh haha, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."
The old Taoist told a cold joke, and everyone around him looked over and laughed.
However, when he turned his head, he saw the male gunman staring at the airship attentively, his eyes full of desire.
"Fuck, buddy, calm down."
"It's okay, I'll just take a look."
The male gunman said without turning his head, but his eyes were still fixed on the airship.
Compared with the noisy armed helicopters, these airships are obviously more suitable for the wasteland environment.
It would be great if I could get one down.
This will make it much easier to travel between the bunker and the village in the future!
However, the other party seemed to have no intention of conflict.
There was no exchange between the two parties. The airship quickly fell from the sky and parked in front of the bunker wall.
According to the configuration of two people per boat, the six airships have a total of twelve people.
Six of them stayed behind to take care of the airship, while the other six followed the captain in black at the front to the city wall.
"We are from the Great Rift Valley Academy Base in Kyushu. We received the academy's standard request for help signal and followed us all the way."
"Is this the college's property?"
Facing Bacon, the deputy captain of the bunker guard, Captain Bernie in black pursed his lips, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He had already taken stock of the scene inside the bunker when he came here, but now he was just asking questions knowingly.
The college does not have such a highly personal industry, and it is most likely the private property of a researcher or professor.
signal for help
Um.
Maybe I can get some well-paid private work here.
As a guard soldier who had served in the Holy City, although Bernie's salary was high, the expenses were equally scary.
The meager subsidy after retirement cannot fully cover the cost of living, let alone serving in Buckloo, even in the surrounding small gathering places.
There is no other way. In order to maintain the quality of life during the military service, my family will not suffer the same hardships.
He had to choose to join the private research base of the college professor to support his family.
Of course, if you put it in the past, the job of studying the base guard guards was indeed a good job.
With the name of the academy, the most they can do is patrol around the base and then return to their room to rest.
However, with the great changes in the world, the work that guards need to do suddenly increased tenfold!
They are not only responsible for the security of the base, but also perform various outrageous tasks, and even track down those damn fugitives.
Although the salary given by the base was much higher, Bernie still made up his mind to save a generous pension as soon as possible, withdraw from this bottomless "quagmire" as soon as possible, and return to the safety of Bucklow
Live your old age.
"Don't be nervous. I was once a retired soldier from the Holy City and I know the rules."
"This is the identification code. You should be able to verify it, right?"
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
Taking the fingertip-sized chip that Bernie handed over, Bacon nodded and turned around to walk into the bunker.
Nat has already gone to inform the master. Just now he was still having a headache on how to hold off these people, but now he feels much more relaxed.
With this chip, Bacon quickly arrived at the small house where he spoke to Catalina.
"Go on, keep dragging them."
Nat stuck his head out of the room, took the chip and closed the door again.
Insert this chip into the identification machine.
Soon, rows of data recording information were projected on the wall.
【Becky Burney】
[Age: 52 years old]
[Identity: Retired Soldier Captain of the College Guards (Level 3 Soldier Commander)]
[Identity: Kyushu Great Rift Valley Base Guard Captain (belonging to Boo Ernest)]
"It seems that those people really recognized my call for help, which is a bit troublesome."
Catalina behind the screen looked a little ugly.
After receiving the protection of the Western Suburbs Alliance, she did not want her identity to be exposed to a group of outside strangers.
It would be fine if these people were the guards of the Holy City or the regular army of the college.
The key opponent is just a guard at a professor's private research base.
If these people's big mouths leak their identities, think of the many troubles that will follow.
"Can the academy's rescue signal only be received at close range?"
Catalina was still having a headache, and the sound played through the speaker suddenly rang in her ears.
She nodded subconsciously: "Yes, there are also long-wave signals, but the signals are blocked."
Before she finished speaking, Catalina suddenly realized something.
"Nat, you go out first."
"Okay, Master."
Guard captain Nat nodded, opened the door and left without knowing why.
When there were two people left in the room again, there was a slight vibration in the room, and Catalina said:
"I have turned on the soundproof shielding. You can rest assured that there will be no equipment that can eavesdrop on the next conversation."
"If I'm not wrong, you don't want to kill them, do you?"
The young face on the screen looked harmless, more elegant than the researchers in the academy.
But he was able to establish himself as the manager of the shelter in a chaotic environment and organized the Western Suburbs Alliance.
Catalina didn't believe what she saw, she preferred to believe that it was all a "disguise" by the other party.
"How is that possible? They are from the academy."
Sumo shook his head, still with a smile on his face.
"No one would want to offend the academy. It wouldn't be fun if a nuclear bomb dropped on their head."
"You are really careful."
Catalina pouted, further confirming her thoughts.
"They don't have much to do with the academy. At most, they are just re-employed soldiers who have retired."
"If the academy would launch a nuclear bomb for a retired soldier, then there would be no place for survival on the entire planet!"
"Why, you don't seem to want them to know that you are here?"
Sumo looked at the screen with a hint of interest.
"Of course, it wouldn't be a good idea to let a bunch of strangers know that there's an Academy researcher trapped in a safe house."
"The academic environment in the college is not as beautiful as you imagine. There are many. Forget it, we should still have a long time to communicate. You will gradually know these things in the future."
Catalina said naturally, and the conversation suddenly changed:
"Dear Tianyuan Shelter Manager, we are allies, there is no need to be so unfamiliar. Since those who escaped from the laboratory have gone to you and provided information about their research results, then I think you should treat them
I am very interested in the research.”
"You can rest assured that snatching research results from each other is nothing new in the academy. As long as you are not caught on the spot by the academy, you can pay a fine later. If you are willing, I can provide you with certain help, such as blocking their
A signal for help, or to lure some greedy 'birds' into this room with bait."
"And you just need to find a way to keep them."
Behind the screen, Catalina talked freely, mentioning that she felt a little more energetic after taking action against "one of her own".
Although she didn't really believe what Sumo said, the other party's research institute had deciphered the secret of evolution.
But how exciting it is to be able to snatch away the professor's research results.
In the past, the results of researchers were taken away by professors at will and used as task indicators or sold for profit.
Now it would be great if the other party could also taste this feeling.
"How about it? Do you need cooperation?"
"cooperate?"
After repeating these two words, Sumo nodded without hesitation this time.
Could it be that these few months of dormancy have caused luck to improve?
Before coming here, he had never thought that the other party could be so proactive. At most, he could only provide some information.
But now Catalina's proposal is like sending a pillow immediately after falling asleep, which couldn't be better.
If you can take down the opponent so easily, it will save you the trouble of subsequent layout.
Of course, from the bottom of his heart, Sumo had never worried about whether he could capture this group of people.
After all, according to the information obtained, in addition to being able to fly and well-equipped, their combat effectiveness is not much different from that of ordinary soldiers in the city, and is on par between the two.
"So, do you need me to trick Captain Bernie into coming here?"
"Of course, it's always good to have less trouble."
"There are people out there watching us."
"Their eyes look like they are looking at a monster. Is this the first time they have seen the academy's guards?"
"It's really possible that these people in the gathering place should be serious residents."
"Don't worry about them. I just want to know if I can rest here tonight. I don't want to go to the building to blow the cold wind again."
During the boring time waiting in front of the city wall, the guardsmen looked around and whispered inside the bunker.
From the eyes of the bunker residents, they could see that this was obviously not the first time they had seen this black uniform.
That natural demeanor is obviously a reaction that comes from frequent contact with the college guards.
Especially when compared to the eyes of those people in the simple camp that was still under construction in front of the city wall, the difference between the two is even more obvious.
Finally I met a gathering place of my own people.
Except for captain Bernie, everyone else was a little excited.
No matter which professor or researcher's industry this is, the safety is always much better than those 'wild' gathering places.
Being able to come here to rest and eat some food is always much better than staying in the wild to eat and sleep in the open air!
"Welcome Captain Bernie to the Pumpkin Kefu Bunker, we have verified your identity, please come in!"
With a smile on his face, Nat trotted out from the gap under the city wall.
After hearing this, Bernie, who had always kept a straight face, finally showed a smile.
"here it is?"
"Our host is researcher Catalina, and has also dealt with Professor Ernest. This is her private estate."
Nat introduced: "Captain Bernie, as you know, the world has changed. We were inexplicably teleported from near Buckloo to this wilderness. Everything is terrible!"
"In order to prevent danger from happening, the master has gone to the safe house a long time ago to wait for the arrival of the Holy City Guards, and the signal you received, we have been trying to send a long time ago!"
"Are you Researcher Catalina?"
Bernie was a little disappointed.
Although the size of the bunker seems okay, just a researcher shouldn't be able to pay much.
Especially if the other party hides in a safe house, it is even more impossible to pay them to do things.
However, just before his disappointment fully came over, Nat's next words made his brain instantly congested.
"Yes, the master finally felt more relieved after hearing the news of the captain's arrival."
"If you don't mind being hired, the owner would like to meet you in person."
"The reward is five thousand academic coins, as long as you can bring some news to the Holy City, and we will pay half of it first!"
"What?!"
Bernie couldn't help but exclaimed.
Under normal circumstances, while he was in service, his annual salary was only about five hundred school coins.
After retiring and joining a professor's branch, his salary plummeted to 300.
Five thousand academic coins!
All in all, it would take him sixteen years to save so much.
"Yes, the changes in the world are too disturbing. The master hopes to return to the Holy City as quickly as possible."
“Don’t know about Captain Bernie”
"I promise, of course I cough, I mean this matter can be left to me!"
Bernie nodded without hesitation.
"Don't worry, I will be a guard of the Holy City before I retire. Of course I can understand the mood of Researcher Catalina."
"Now, please take me there quickly, I can't wait."
If the other party's reward is to be settled after the task is completed, then Bernie may still consider it.
But right from the beginning, the other party was willing to pay half, which was 2,500.
Even if he wanted to share some profits with his subordinates, he would still get more than two thousand academic coins in his hands.
Depend on.
This is nearly seven years of income, and this is simply a windfall.
"You guys wait for me here, I'll be back as soon as I go."
Bernie turned around and gave a few instructions to the guard soldiers waiting behind him.
He was not worried about any danger in the bunker at all. This lucrative mission was just a way for the other party to lure him into taking the bait.
After all, there is no conflict of interest between the two, and the college’s identification code will not be falsified.
What's more, he had already made arrangements before coming and only brought half of the people.
As long as they don't go back in the afternoon, the remaining people in the city will evacuate immediately and bring the information back to the base.
At that time, more Guard soldiers will come and destroy this place in one fell swoop.
"Let's go."
Following Nat as he walked into the bunker, Bernie felt as if his feet were a little lighter.
Especially when he noticed the residents around him smiling kindly at him, he couldn't help but smile back.
Although he had always looked down upon such slaves when he saw them before.
But after dealing with those unruly fugitives a lot, the sight of well-behaved slaves is really reassuring!
The two of them walked in tandem and soon arrived at the room that communicated with the underground.
Nat opened the door and gestured: "Sorry, because the safe house cannot be opened repeatedly, I can only talk to the owner through here."
"No problem, of course I know this."
Although he saw a man in the room waiting by the screen, Bernie still took it for granted that the man was just a staff member.
He walked in without any precautions and came all the way to the screen, uncontrollable excitement flashing across his face.
"noble"
Bang.
The words were not spoken yet.
Before the door could even be closed, a heavy muffled sound sounded.
Nat looked inside in surprise.
But they saw Captain Bernie, who was excited just now, lying in Somo's arms with a peaceful look on his face.
Look at it, it's like someone who has stayed up for a few nights has found a comfortable bed.
