The boss called, and even though Dr. Xiang was eager to take a break from his busy schedule, he didn't dare to delay, so he grabbed Ronan and ran outside.
However, when he stepped out, Ronan grabbed him: "We're going in the wrong direction."
"That's right, the information equipment is over there. I'm already familiar with the 'Eight Major Offices'..." At this point, Medical Officer Xiang Pei was suddenly startled, and then clapped his hands hard, "Yes. ! They're not here, over there on the upper deck."
The palm wrapped in double armor made the sound of gold and iron. Xiang Peer himself was shocked, but he quickly reacted and began to check the double-layer armor equipment to make sure that all defense and life-support modules were working normally.
As the most advanced combat command center of the aerospace carrier, the "eight major areas" must be wrapped in the deepest part of the carrier's heavy armor. The only ones with the same treatment as them are the ship-borne crystal array and energy center. Just because the functional areas are divided and slightly staggered, there is a little difference between the inside and outside.
But the deck area is different. It is the area where the ship-based drones and elite commandos circulate. Ninety percent of the combat effectiveness of the entire ship is reflected there. It is also always under siege by vicious living creatures and alien species. under.
The further outside, the more serious the damage, and of course the higher the risk.
If non-combatants go there, it will cause chaos. Under normal circumstances, if personnel from the "Eight Major Divisions" want to go to the outer deck, they must have the commander's permission and corresponding authority.
Now that medical officers Ronan and Xiang Pei want to go there, they must also undergo relevant process verification.
Of course, there is no problem with the verification, and because it was called by Professor Lan, the Safety Management Office also sent four internal security personnel to be responsible for escorting... er, protection, to ensure that there would be no accidents.
The two of them require four people to protect them, which must be "exceeding the standard".
However, the opinion of the Safety Management Office is also very clear: there is no room for error on Professor Lan's side, and they should send more manpower now to bring the teacher to a safe area as soon as possible.
Neither Ronan nor Medical Officer Xiang Pei had the right to refuse.
In this kind of city in the sky, as long as you find the right direction and have a "snail" to indicate the route, you won't have to waste your legs.
Well, except for running more than five laps in ten hours.
In the elevator leading to the upper deck, Medical Officer Xiang Pei quickly prepared himself mentally, looked around leisurely, and then saw the faint light shining in Ronan's hand.
That's the glow of the projected workspace.
But, what’s the use of being limited to the palm of your hand?
As soon as he had doubts, Xiang Pei thought of the topics the two had talked about in the office. Then the more he looked at them, the more similar they became, and he couldn't help but touch Ronan's shoulder.
He originally wanted to communicate privately, but after all, he was not a combatant and had problems controlling the details. There was a rather harsh friction sound between the power armors, which caused the four surrounding internal guards to turn their heads and look over.
The fully armed power armor that has been warmed up and entered into combat mode looks quite scary when focused at the same time.
He subconsciously bowed his head to his fellow medical officer, made an embarrassed gesture, and tried his best to speak in a low voice - it was only through the power armor that he could be heard clearly no matter how low he was:
"Are you still playing cards?"
"Um."
Ronan opened his palm slightly to let Medical Officer Xiang Pei see the "cards" in his hand.
At this time, the leader was no longer Colonel Hong Shuang, but a middle-aged man who looked thin and dark, none other than Colonel Su Heng.
Looking at the picture, he should look relatively relaxed and tired during the "heart-to-heart conversation", with his brows still furrowed.
In reality, this person is a very serious and upright person, and his brows are furrowed even more tightly.
"The deck over there at the Information Equipment Department?" Medical Officer Xiang Pei immediately understood and was surprised. "Everyone is prepared... Well, this is normal. Are these cards everywhere?"
He felt that there was some ambiguity after the words came out of his mouth, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
Ronan responded: "It's still a little short of that. The operational data of each functional area responsible for the 'Eight Departments' does not correspond, so the authority of the Information Department is required."
Operating data?
Medical Officer Xiang Pei vaguely remembered Ronan talking about this, but he didn't pay attention at the time, and now he thinks it's ridiculous:
"They will give it to you?"
"I just want the annual internal assessment value, not the actual number, and School Officer Fang Shu agreed. In the end, I just need a reference value."
"Tsk, Colonel Fang Shu supports you very much. As expected, he brought it back from the battlefield himself."
Medical Officer Xiang Pei said this casually, and the four internal security personnel responsible for their security couldn't help but look at Ronan a few more times.
Colonel Fang Shu is currently the deputy director of the Third Bureau of the Front Committee and the head of the Combat Command Office, but he is not a member of the Front Committee. On the "Changying" space carrier, his status is below Li Zhuan, and he is the nominal third person.
But in fact, one person or thousands of people have the power to handle many matters.
However, this colonel had just been parachuted in. It was inevitable that the officers and soldiers of the Third Brigade would have some intentions of scrutinizing this senior officer who was said to be proficient in combat command.
In contrast, Principal Su Heng had a different feeling.
As the deputy director and head of an important department such as the Information Equipment Division, School Officer Su Heng came here when the Third Brigade was established. We have been fighting hard on the asteroid for more than four months and have not left since the last rotation. We are one of the few senior officials from the former brigade headquarters who have persisted until now. Moreover, he is responsible for the core business of the engineering brigade such as mechanical and electronic equipment and engineering equipment. He is the real authority of the third temporary brigade and a technical master. Ronan had heard of his name when he was in the seventh battalion.
But for such a person, things don’t seem to be going well now...
The elevator door opened. The exact number of floors was unclear. It was estimated that it went up about seventy meters, which was at least the height of fifteen floors.
But there is still a certain distance from the location of the upper deck marked by Professor Lan.
In fact, the area where the six people are now is a transit platform. After leaving the elevator room, the view suddenly opened up. In addition to them, you can see that there are a large number of double-armored officers and soldiers, and equipment built into the mothership. They are transferring to various means of transportation here, or walking to other areas. Go ahead.
In addition, there are drone groups responsible for maintenance, internal patrols, and defenses. They "buzz" flew overhead. Their cold, red mechanical eyes scanned everyone on the platform, then quickly moved away and rushed to the next area.
At first glance, this place seems a bit chaotic, but when you are in it, you will inevitably feel nervous.
At this time, the person in charge of the four internal security personnel reminded in a deep voice: "We are currently on the fourth floor of the upper deck. The next floor above is the 'attack area', which is also an area that is often attacked. I hope you two Concentrate and listen to our arrangements until you meet Professor Lan Yao and the others."
In fact, without his special warning, Ronan and Xiang Pei could also feel the rumbling vibrations above their heads...perhaps including parallel or other directions, or even the sound of explosions. Occasionally, there are indescribable, vague or shrill howls.
In fact, these sounds can already be heard vaguely in the elevator, but they are more obvious now.
This also aggravated the tense atmosphere on the transfer platform, causing some personnel responsible for dispatching and command to unconsciously shout louder:
"Second Assault Company, are there any losers who didn't get on the train?"
"Tractor, who the hell is the tractor stuck here!"
"The optical rail transmission hasn't been repaired yet? Is your information department just eating shit?"
"Without a light track and no blessing, what's the difference between this and rushing into the evil den with your bare buttocks?"
"Who told you to stop! I'm the first one to get on with my bare butt, so go ahead at full speed!"
Amidst the deafening noise, Doctor Xiang subconsciously took another deep breath.
Ronan looked up and nodded to the person in charge: "Okay, Lieutenant Hong Kai, I'm sorry to bother you again."
He asked his fellow medical officer belatedly: "Do you know each other?"
"For the past ten hours, Lieutenant Hong Kai was running with me. It was really hard."
"Lieutenant Ronan is even harder."
Lieutenant Hong Kai was a polite but not talkative person. After making the necessary arrangements, he had no other words to say.
Together with three of his subordinates, he protected Ronan and Xiang Pei in a light armored vehicle, and followed the traffic moving in the same direction to the upper deck.
It was relatively quiet in the carriage, and Medical Officer Xiang Pei instinctively wanted to find a topic: "The Information Equipment Department seems to have been scolded... The transmission light track of the Crystal Array was seriously damaged?"
Ronan didn't respond, and neither did the internal security staff.
Medical Officer Xiang Peer wanted to say more, but at this time, the armored vehicle stopped, just a few dozen breaths before they got on the vehicle.
Lieutenant Hong Kai confirmed the information and said in a deep voice: "Confirm the sealing situation of the armor again. The front is already an exposed area. The upper deck was penetrated, and a vicious living creature rushed in. It was just controlled."
Medical Officer Xiang Pei was surprised: "This should be the fourth floor. It's like this here, but the three floors above..."
"There will always be some peaks and troughs." Ronan said at the right time, "I think it's okay, this kind of thing doesn't happen often."
Lieutenant Hong Kai nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Ronan's view. As a member of the internal security staff, he was not worried. What else could Medical Officer Xiang Pei say?
After confirming that the sealing of the power armor was OK, the armored vehicle continued to move forward, and soon they passed the battlefield near the exposed area.
Judging from the scene projected in, not to mention the potholes, there is also a huge fracture zone, which has completely torn off this deck, and the support structure below has been exposed.
The flesh and blood, probably from extraterritorial species or poisonous living creatures, formed a smooth "mud layer" and spread out in colorful colors, causing continuous corrosion to the deck layer, and some of it flowed downwards along the cracks.
Everyone did not see the enemy's body, and it was probably completely exploded.
He chuckled to his fellow medical officer: "No wonder Principal Su Heng insisted on going in despite all the pressure. The Information Equipment Department is going to explode today."
Ronan said "hmm", and the "cards" in his hand seemed to be "rubbing" constantly.
At this time, Professor Lan Yao sent a signal, linking the two of them to the regional channel at the same time. Since Hong Kai and other internal security personnel were bound to their authority, they also entered together.
In the channel, Professor Lan Yao's real-time voice came over: "The command location has been changed. We will go to the fourth deck first. When you get there, don't move yet. Wait for us to meet up."
Professor Lan's tone was still stable and calm, but there was some noise in it, and it was still very clear:
"There is no recovery port now. It's all a sortie area. The commandos move to the back... Now it's not your turn to send them up!"
It must have been a commander giving the order loudly, his voice was hoarse, I guess the situation was quite tense.
Ronan frowned and went to look at his fellow medical officer: "College Officer Su Heng?"
Medical Officer Xiang Pei also looked at him: "It should be... but the tone is too urgent, isn't it a bit exciting?"
Professor Lan Yao seemed to be sighing there: "He injected a sobriety agent, and the effect was unexpected."
