But just as everyone was gradually recovering, Yefim quietly returned to the other side of the hillside alone.
Tang Jiumin, who had nothing to do, walked around to the side of the hillside and found Yan Fengling's body covered with white cloth. Yefim was kneeling in front of Yan Fangling's corpse, silent.
No need to guess, this must be what Yefim did.
Tang Jiumin glanced at him, took out the electronic board and called Liu Ziyun over.
"Look at the map marks. Let's follow the path we took when we came back, and first go around to the main entrance of the Protoss base."
"...."
"Hey..." Liu Ziyun listened to Tang Jiumin planning the next route, but his eyes were looking towards Yefim, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Route planning is not difficult, it is just a matter of choosing a slightly detoured mountain road.
During this period, the three newcomers were also recovering better and better. Shan Zhaoyang saw Tang Jiumin and the two who were planning the route and couldn't help but come over.
But as soon as he came over, he found that the two of them had already finished their discussion and were looking at Yefim who couldn't kneel down.
This situation made Shan Zhaoyang frown a little. In his opinion, he should hurry up now.
"Captain Tang, let Yefim get up. Who knows whether those gods will continue to send people to chase us, but we can't waste too much time, otherwise our lives will be over."
After finally saving his life, Shan Zhaoyang just wanted to leave this dangerous place quickly.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ziyun's voice came from behind him, and his tone was extremely unkind.
"You think Yefim is wasting time? It is dangerous for the Ser Protoss to catch up, but your life was given by Teacher Yan."
Shan Zhaoyang's face stiffened and he shut up immediately. He indeed said what he said at the wrong time.
Soon, not only him, but also Li Changfu and Cheng Zhi came over one by one.
Together, they watched Ye Feim bid farewell to Yan Fangling for the last time without interrupting or urging her, except for Shan Zhaoyang, who had already been scolded by Liu Ziyun in a low voice.
Chen Min was alone outside. He was sitting by the stone wall, resting and looking at Tang Jiumin.
This man became even more strange. According to his guess, Tang Jiumin would never waste time on a dead person at this time.
But now, Tang Jiumin watched quietly, rarely saying anything.
Although his expression is not as rich as others, his face is still paralyzed.
But this situation itself is abnormal.
Thinking of this, Chen Min looked over there again and looked back.
After a period of time, as Yefim finished bidding farewell, everyone set off again, following the route planned by the electronic board, and walked around the front of the Protoss base.
The God Clan's base was in a valley, which undoubtedly gave Tang Jiumin and others the best cover. They bent down and walked along the mountain road, slowly approaching their destination.
After about a while, they successfully moved to the front of the base.
Suddenly, at the front, Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun stopped at the same time and squatted on the ground.
When the two people walking at the front stopped, the people behind them also stopped.
"The smell of engine oil." Tang Jiumin touched a handful of black soil on the ground, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.
"Yes, it seems those mechanical warriors have been here before." Liu Ziyun made almost the same move.
"There are no gunshots nearby. This place is still some distance away from the Protoss base. It is impossible for them to pass by here for no reason." Tang Jiumin raised his head and looked around.
"No matter which route they take, there is always a starting point. Follow the traces and you will definitely find them."
No one had any objections, and soon, with Liu Ziyun's excellent eyesight, traces of the mechanical legion were found.
They moved forward among the mountain roads, passing one long and winding path after another, and finally came to a canyon.
But here too, their traces disappeared.
Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun looked at each other and led people to the canyon to search for relevant traces.
The result was strange, the traces of the robot seemed to disappear out of thin air.
"After analyzing so much and doing so much, the traces have disappeared. I would say that the transport ship is the best choice. Although there is danger, as long as you threaten them with crystals, there is no chance."
On the side, Shan Zhaoyang couldn't help muttering to himself.
But this time, no one paid him any attention.
Cheng Zhi and Li Changfu just glanced at him and then turned away. Yefim snorted coldly, the anger in his eyes hard to dissipate.
"Search separately and don't miss every corner."
In this way, under Tang Jiumin's arrangement, seven people began a blanket search in the canyon.
However, a few hours later, they got together again and both said they couldn't find it.
Shan Zhaoyang was finally able to speak loudly this time.
"Everyone, we only have less than a day left. If we continue like this, we won't even have the chance to call the transport ship!"
"I suggest that we get some explosives or something and put them together with the box, call the transport ship and threaten them. If that doesn't work, we can think of a reason to deceive them. As long as we leave this edge planet, that's it."
Among the seven, Chen Min was the first to look at Tang Jiumin. In his opinion, although Shan Zhaoyang's suggestion was rough, it still had a certain possibility.
After all, let alone asking Dr. Hammer to remove the self-revealing chip, they don't even have a clue about the mechanical legion.
time......
There are less than twenty hours left, really not much left.
However, under the gaze of Chen Min and others, Tang Jiumin remained calm and continued to look down at the tablet, zooming in on each image mark.
"Don't worry about your transport ship. It's a funeral ship for your funeral. Isn't the person behind the scenes a fool and a threat? Do you know the other party's weaknesses, bottom line, and concerns?"
Tang Jiumin's words once again choked Shan Zhaoyang, leaving Shan Zhaoyang unable to refute although he was dissatisfied.
But at this time, Liu Ziyun heard something else:
"What did you find?"
"It's impossible for a robot to disappear out of thin air. Remember the God Clan base and the immigration station, right?" Tang Jiumin replied.
"You mean...underground?"
"Yes, but we don't know where the entrance is."
"What should we do?"
At this time, Tang Jiumin finally finished checking the images. He looked up and saw Liu Ziyun's serious expression. Regardless of the tense atmosphere around him, he took out a cup of half-cooled coffee from his backpack.
"Suck~"
"It's simple. First of all, we have a high probability of determining that there is a problem here. There is a high probability that it is the exit from the mechanical army's attack on the Protoss base."
"Secondly, think carefully about the situation at the entrance of the Protoss base. They attack the Protoss base very frequently."
"According to that frequency, they should have appeared at least once by now. But now, they have not appeared. Why?"
"They don't want to expose the secret exit." Liu Ziyun followed Tang Jiumin's train of thought: "They found us! No matter what method they used, they can see us."
"clever."
At this time, Tang Jiumin had something in his hand.
Chen Min, who was standing next to him, looked over almost instantly and found the ID card of the previous emergency manager.
Tang Jiumin was seen holding this identity card, raising it high, and walking in circles facing the walls of the canyon.
"They are right here, it's just that we need to take the initiative now."
Several newcomers were a little stunned. Are you relying on this method to find the secret exit?
Is this reasonable? Not reliable.
Time passed in an awkward atmosphere. They saw Tang Jiumin walking around for several times, but there was still no response from the people around him.
This result also made Shan Zhaoyang, who was originally frightened, retort:
"I think you're just thinking too much. Maybe they're not here at all."
Tang Jiumin didn't bother to answer, he just held up his ID card and continued walking.
Shan Zhaoyang's face became more and more anxious when he saw that Tang Jiumin was paying no attention to him. He quickly turned to Liu Ziyun, ready to persuade him.
But at this moment, a cry of surprise came from around him, and the ground beneath his feet began to shake.
Behind him, Tang Jiumin finally stopped walking in circles, because in front of him, the rock wall of the canyon was constantly shaking off gravel and soil, turning over completely.
Shan Zhaoyang's words were stuck in his throat again, and he blushed.
Tang Jiumin's analysis was right again.
After the mountain wall turned over, everyone was greeted by cold barrels.
At the same time, the hard ground next to it suddenly exploded, and a group of eight-clawed mechanical spiders jumped out. After they appeared, they climbed onto the stone wall next to them and pointed their top guns at everyone.
Finally, a large metal ball appeared from behind the mountain wall, floating in mid-air and swimming forward.
At the top of the metal ball, a large scanner with a sense of technology was facing Tang Jiumin and others.
"Didi..."
The ID card in Tang Jiumin's hand was the first to be scanned.
"Scan completed, emergency incident manager of the Sixth Scientific Research Station."
"Humans? It's time to explain your origins. You hold the identity card of the emergency manager in your hand, but you are not the emergency manager, let alone anyone registered on the Edge Star. Who are you?"
The former one is a completely emotionless system electronic sound, while the latter sound should be someone behind the scenes. Although it is also an electronic sound, the sound is full of seriousness and doubt.
Faced with the questioning of the metal ball, Tang Jiumin did not lie, but openly stated their identities:
"We were sent by the Ser Protoss, and our mission was to steal the special crystal from the Protoss base. Our memories should have been washed away, but now we know everything and know that we can't hand things over to them, so we followed the robot Traces of it came here.”
"Special crystal? Take the thing out."
Tang Jiumin looked back at Liu Ziyun, who immediately put the box forward.
The metal ball immediately floated over and started scanning across the box, but at this moment, Tang Jiumin took out two things from his system backpack and spoke again:
"In addition to the crystals, we also received a gift from Scientific Research Station No. 6, a divine neutralizing solution and its data chip. The scientific researchers there hope that we can hand it over to you."
"If I'm not mistaken, this is what Project Fire needs. Am I right? Dr. Hammer."
As soon as Tang Jiumin finished speaking, he saw the metal ball that was originally scanning the crystal box suddenly turned around, moved towards his body, and scanned the two items in his hand.
But just ten seconds later, Tang Jiumin put the two items back into his backpack again.
"Huh? Where's the chip and the divine neutralizing fluid? Is this magic? No, you don't have it on your body. What did you do? Take it out quickly! Do you know what this is! Huh?"
Listening to the urgings, Tang Jiumin knew that Dr. Hammer, who was controlling the metal ball, must be very anxious. However, at this moment, his expression became serious.
"Doctor, I think this is not the point. These two things are indeed on my body, but I need your help. We are a group of people who have self-destructive chips implanted in our heads. We want freedom and do what we should do as human beings. To do anything, you have to get rid of this chip.”
"With your ability, I think you will be able to help us regain our freedom. When we regain our freedom, this divine neutralizing fluid will naturally belong to you, Doctor."
"Before I came here, I was worried. I wonder if the doctor is still working on the Tinder Plan? But it seems that the doctor is still very interested."
Finally, when the crux of the matter came, everyone behind Tang Jiumin held their breath.
But when faced with Tang Jiumin's words, Metal Ball did not answer immediately, but scanned everyone again.
"It's strange, you don't have those two things on you, but I definitely scanned them just now. I don't know what tricks you are playing... but follow me into the base, self-destruct chip? That's just a gadget."
As soon as the electronic sound fell, the metal ball floated towards the mountain wall, but at the same time, there was another familiar sentence.
"Interest? You don't understand. Project Fire will never stop. This is my mission. Humanity will survive forever."
As the metal ball heard these words, the surrounding robots aimed at Tang Jiumin and others put away their guns and made way for them.
At the mountain wall, a passage fifteen meters wide and ten meters high appeared, and the metal ball entered first.
On Liu Ziyun's side, they were faced with a strange existence. They had not spoken much since just now. When they saw the entrance to the passage appeared, they couldn't help but look at Tang Jiu Min, who was about to enter.
Seeing this, others chose to follow.
After entering the entrance, led by the metal ball, they traveled north along the cave passage, and finally saw a huge lifting platform.
"Come up." The metal ball flashed slightly.
Tang Jiumin led everyone behind him onto the platform one by one, looking past the metal ball and observing the other robots around him.
These robots were roughly divided into two categories: animal-shaped and human-shaped, and Tang Jiumin quickly discovered one difference.
The head of the humanoid machine is a metal shell with a structure similar to the human brain. Unlike ordinary robots, the mechanical device is not exposed. It is very similar to the robot he dragged back before.
After Tang Jiumin discovered this, he became convinced. Taking advantage of the lift platform to descend, he turned his head to the metal ball next to him and asked: "These robots should be like you, they are semi-mechanical life forms."
"It seems that you know a lot about them. They are semi-mechanical life forms. However, there is insufficient material and their condition is very bad."
The sound of the metal ball sounded immediately, but it did not turn the eye-shaped side, but the indicator light on it shook.
"Insufficient materials?" Tang Jiumin's lips curled up slightly, "From what you say, materials are difficult to obtain. I just don't know if the materials you are talking about are metal chips or human brains?"
Human brain! ?
Shan Zhaoyang and the others next to him were already nervous, and they were startled when they heard this. They subconsciously leaned together and clenched the guns in their hands at the same time.
But this scene caused the mechanical troops nearby to be alert. Suddenly, all the robots raised their weapons one by one, and the mechanical beasts even approached.
"You can't say such extreme things, something will happen."
Next to Tang Jiumin, Liu Ziyun scolded in a low voice. He had no time to stop the newcomer, so he had no choice but to pick up his pistol and be on guard.
As a co-investigator, Liu Ziyun could certainly see what was going on, but he didn’t necessarily have to tell the truth.
