Chapter 123: The Return of Casio (Thanks to Wang Pengjiao for his support)
While Fang Linyan and the others were still browsing Mertes' information, this guy made another very legitimate request, but one that Fang Linyan and the others hated:
That means he must continue to replenish source energy!
In other words, the idle equipment on Fang Linyan and the others, to be precise, should be equipment/props that are sold in the space with a price higher than 1,000 general points, all of which are based on the recipe of Mr. Mertes.
Moreover, Meltes' reason is difficult to reject, that is because the life of the moth he is currently attached to has completely died.
Four days ago, Mertes drove a Red Star Shuttle out to do some work because of his paranoia and because he believed that he was extremely powerful in combat.
As a result, he encountered a small probability event and accidentally encountered a federal army formation on patrol. He had a lot of chances to escape.
However, during the escape process, due to some strange combination of circumstances, the Red Star Shuttle itself malfunctioned, causing it to catch fire and explode. When the Red Star Shuttle crashed, it was severely damaged, and the federal army formation followed closely behind it.
At this time, Mertes had no choice but to control his "source core"--that is, the bright red crystal, which was also his only vital point, and then aimed it at the side
A moth activated source energy parasitism.
When he crashed, he consumed a lot of source energy to save his life. At this time, he forced the source energy to parasitize, and he immediately passed out. The parasitized moths also fell into the luggage scattered nearby.
When Mertes woke up, he found that he had been carried in the luggage and transported to the designated trophy warehouse, which was equipped with a highly sensitive radiation anti-theft device.
When this kind of device is running, once it detects the movement of something, including mosquitoes and flies, a high-heat ray will be directly shot over, causing it to evaporate.
Such anti-theft equipment is also necessary, because the technology in this world has made it possible to produce fly-sized drones that fly around to collect intelligence.
After Mertes was trapped in the trophy warehouse, she must have been a little panicked at this time, so she directly used all the emergency energy reserves and sent out a distress signal.
So there is an operation in which Capsule Technology desperately tries to save him. Of course, it may also kill him if it cannot be saved.
The result is obvious, the action was unsuccessful.
Because the distress signal sent by Meltes can only show its approximate location (accurate to within two kilometers).
At this time, Casio had noticed something was wrong with the capsule technology and ordered the loot/prisoners to be transferred to the command center.
Such an unexpected incident caught Mertes off guard, and he tried his best to avoid being discovered. However, this had once again consumed a lot of his already low energy.
After the transfer was completed, Mertes had been forced into a weak state due to lack of energy, and could only hide under the toilet basin to survive.
If Fang Linyan had not appeared, he would have died of weakness due to lack of source energy supply more than two hours later.
This way of death is no different from humans dying of thirst or starvation in the desert.
Fang Linyan reluctantly took out the Chisuo star pirate wrist armor and gave it to Mertes to absorb, finally restoring its own source energy value to about 15%. In this way, Mertes could attack insects again
Waiting for the creature to activate source energy to parasitize, it can save its life again at the critical moment.
However, Fang Linyan had also paid a heavy price so far. The three-piece set of Chisuo Star Thieves, which he had high hopes of selling at a good price, had just vanished into thin air.
What’s even more embarrassing is that the Vulture’s originally prepared escape route was an all-terrain jeep, and then drove to the 021 outpost camp.
There, Goat met a guy and found a way to get a "Bison" air-cushion patrol boat.
Of course, what the goat said to the guy was that he made a bet with his friends and all he had to do was go for a ride.
But once he actually goes up there, of course he won't be able to do it anymore.
If everything goes well, the three of them can take Mertes on the air-cushion patrol boat and directly enter the swamp twelve kilometers away. After entering here, it can almost be said that the tiger returns to the mountains and the dragon enters the sea.
.
As a result, the three of them soon discovered a very cruel fact, that is, something went wrong in the first link.
After being delayed by Mertes for more than ten minutes, the all-terrain jeep that Vulture had obtained was actually driven away, perhaps because it was parked illegally or because its use time exceeded.
Under this situation, the three of them had no choice but to ask Mertes if there was any power that Capsule Technology could use.
Mertes simply gave them a contact list, but warned them not to have too much hope.
After all, the new Watchfort was built not long ago, and it would take time for Capsule Technology to install an insider. Not only that, even if there was an inside line, it should have been exposed during the night attack the day before yesterday.
So now in the final analysis, Fang Linyan and the others can only figure out a solution on their own.

Just when the three of them began to intensively arrange their escape plan, there was a thunderous roar from the sky. A Vulture-type medical transport aircraft flew from far to near, and finally landed slowly in Xinjiang.
Inside the airport at Nethergarde.
The fuselage of this Vulture-type medical transport aircraft has a unique iron cross painting. It is a war weapon directly belonging to the Federation. It was immediately known that Colonel Casio successfully returned from the mother ship in it after accepting the question.
The aircraft abandoned the traditional bi-wing design and used suspended propellers to adjust the flight direction and control take-off and landing. The inside of the tail is equipped with two high-power twin engines, which are the engines used for flying inside the planet, and the tail
Two champagne bottle-shaped "ion accelerators" hang below.
The "ion accelerator" allows the transport aircraft to travel in the vast and boundless universe. The advantage is rapid acceleration, but the disadvantage is that it is not suitable for human operation. Because the control is complicated and precise, it usually needs to be used in automatic driving mode.
The dual-engine engine has a relatively slow speed and stable flight, and is suitable for flying in the atmosphere.
Different from conventional air transport giants, the "Condor Medical Transport Aircraft" is a war weapon carefully built by the federal government for war, combining both transportation and medical functions.
Its belly also has a unique hanging and grabbing device, which can be seamlessly connected to the standard transport cabin that looks like a container. The maximum take-off weight can reach 500 tons, and it can carry a semi-mechanized company (including the weight of the exoskeleton armor).
At the same time, it can also carry two "Mengmao" heavy tanks.
What is commendable is that this machine is equipped with the most complete medical assistance facilities. The experimental nano-repair chamber and automatic minimally invasive operating table are medical equipment that has created a new era. Together with the newly extracted growth-promoting hormone,
Soldiers who have been summoned by the God of Death can be successfully rescued.
As soon as the medical transport plane stopped, Casio couldn't wait to walk down the gangway. While thinking deeply, he asked the driver to take him back to the command center quickly.
Just half an hour ago, Casio suddenly felt restless, as if something big was about to happen, so he immediately called New Watch Castle, but the answer he received was that everything was business as usual.
However, Casio was a person who believed in his own intuition. He immediately asked his subordinates to report anything that might go wrong within an hour. However, at this time, the communication was interfered with and was directly interrupted.
This is actually unavoidable, but it also makes Casio extremely anxious, so he must return to his office as quickly as possible to sort out what happened after he left to see if there are any mistakes.
It only took about ten minutes for Casio to sit behind his desk, then call his secretary and ask him to report anything that might go wrong within an hour.
Then he recorded them one by one in his notebook, and then began to analyze which of these things went wrong.
At this moment, Casio's guard captain Raphael suddenly came over and said:
"Colonel, didn't you tell us to keep an eye on that dirty Asian before? We were going to make him disappear in three days, so I assigned this task to my subordinates, but now some people say there is something wrong with him."
"Oh?" Casio suddenly became energetic, sat up straight and said, "Tell me."
Raphael nodded and said:
"The Engineering Department issued a warning an hour ago. The reason is that there has been another energy pipe surge. The possibility of another explosion cannot be ruled out. Therefore, a comprehensive overhaul of the entire command center's energy pipes must be carried out."
"And just after the warning, this person tried to enter the secret warehouse in the name of repairing energy pipelines. After being stopped, he even reported it to Rotel."
"After our investigation, we found that although there is indeed an energy pipeline passing through the temporary secret warehouse, even if this energy pipeline explodes, the threat is very small. At best, it will only blow up a few empty rooms."
"And there are two energy pipelines next to them that are much more threatening. If something goes wrong and explodes, most of the command center will be paralyzed."
"When he knew clearly that he would be humiliated by entering the temporary secret warehouse, this guy called Wrench would actually sacrifice the near for the far. He would go to repair the energy pipeline in the secret warehouse instead of the big. This is not in line with human nature in any case.
It’s normal.”
"Also, his skills are actually very superb..."
When Casio heard this, he waved his hand and said:
"Needless to say, there are enough doubts about this guy, so we immediately ordered him to be arrested!"
