At 8:30 pm on September 2, the Hurricane entered the hinterland of Manila Bay. The straight-line distance from Fortress No. 5 was 40 kilometers. Directly above the ruins of Fortress No. 5, the aircraft carrier New Element and its escort formation were hovering.
The Hurricane has excellent stealth performance, but the reconnaissance and early warning capabilities of the Southeast Asian Navy's Second Fleet, headed by the New Element, are not comparable to the armored shuttles, hovercrafts and missile boats chasing Bein. The crew of the Renaissance organization put the Hurricane The ship has reached its limit by docking here, and it is very likely that it will be discovered by the Second Fleet if it continues to move forward.
Therefore, with the remaining forty kilometers to go, Bai Fei and Hun changed means of transportation and rushed on their way.
Dolphin II and Dolphin III quietly sneak underwater in Manila Bay. This kind of submarine is very small, not much bigger than a car, and although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
"Xiao Bai, don't get too far away from me. There are no lights in the sea, so don't lose it." In the Dolphin II, Hunzhu held the joystick and carefully avoided the swimming fish in the sea.
"Copy that." Bai Fei looked away from the thick glass in front of her. Neither submarine turned on the lights, and she couldn't see any underwater scenery in the dark water. "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Diego."
The Dolphin model submarine has two seats, a pilot and a co-pilot. Bai Fei is sitting in the co-pilot seat of the Dolphin III, and the person operating the submarine at this moment is naturally Mr. Diego as she calls it.
"Senior, don't be polite. This is my duty. I will never lose you."
Diego is a childish white boy with half-long curly brown hair and particularly beautiful dark blue eyes. Although he calls Bai Fei his senior, he is actually older than Bai Fei.
"Don't worry, Miss Bai. Diego's driving skills are great. My brother has been obsessed with mechanical driving since he was a child. Everyone praises him as a pilot or astronaut."
The owner of the voice that sounded on the public channel this time was Pedro. He and Diego are brothers. He has the same hair color and eye color as his brother, and his body shape is also very similar. At this time, Pedro was sitting upright next to Hun, with his eyes closed, as dignified as a wax figure.
Brothers Pedro and Diego were born in Madrid County. The elder brother Pedro joined the Renaissance organization fourteen years ago, while Diego joined the Renaissance only three years ago, so the two of them did not have the same name for Bai Fei.
The two brothers are both ghost-level ability users and were assigned by Leonardo da Vinci to participate in the operation to recover Manila No. 5 Well. However, their responsibilities are different: the younger brother Diego is already a ghost-level high-level ability user and has He has combat-type abilities, so he assists Hun to protect Bai Fei. Although his brother Pedro is older, his level of abilities is not as high as Diego's. He is a primary ghost-level ability user, and his duty is not to fight.
Except for the two submarines, two dragons, two ghosts and four ability users, this small underwater column that quietly sneaked from the Hurricane still had members, but they did not take any means of transportation, and they did not even prepare diving suits and gas bottles. , holding the underwater propeller and went into the sea. At this moment, they were lined up on the left and right of Dolphin II and Dolphin III, heading towards the ruins of Fortress No. 5 together.
Everyone must have guessed the origins of these tough guys who can't even breathe. Yes, they are Arnold No. 13 to Arnold No. 24, twelve super reformers.
…………
The team's march was not slow. Very quickly, everyone was only a few kilometers away from the ruins of Fortress No. 5, and could already see a large area of light emitted by a large number of underwater engineering machinery.
Dolphin II and Dolphin III were ordered to stop, and she received a message from the Hurricane:
"Before we set off, the Hurricane's sonar showed that there were six Second Fleet submarines cruising in Manila Bay. Fortunately, with Pedro, all the enemies were avoided or deceived by us in advance."
Pedro was neither humble nor haughty, he just nodded slightly, his eyes still not open.
"We are too close to Fortress No. 5. There must be many individual armored shuttles at the construction site ahead, guarding the death row laborers from Wandao County."
"The problem now is that the construction site is too bright. Just now, the two Dolphins turned off their lights and moved forward in the dark to fish in troubled waters. It will be difficult not to be discovered if they use the same trick again at this place."
"Pedro, let's see if you can find a breakthrough for us to enter?"
"Okay, I can control some more fish schools, so that I can have a panoramic view of the entire No. 5 Fortress."
Pedro radiated his spiritual thoughts, and dozens of fish surrounding Dolphin II were selected by his consciousness and became his slaves, swimming towards Fortress No. 5.
This is not the first time that Pedro's superpowers appear in this game. His abilities are the same as Griffin, the former guard of Fortress No. 5 and the dragon-level guard officer. They are both "Beast King".
Everyone's understanding and development direction of superpowers is different, even if two superpowers have exactly the same superpowers. Like Zhong Yi and Jiang Yao's "Wushuang", one focuses on "power" and the other focuses on "speed". ”, it is considered to be very similar development and use. Pedro and Griffin's use of "Beast King" is completely different. Although Griffin's level is higher than Pedro, at this moment, the latter's use of "Eye of the Soul", Griffin Fen doesn't know how to use it at all.
[Eye of the Soul], Pedro's detection skill, has the effect of gaining vision of creatures under his control. Bai Fei and others were able to reach here safely without disturbing the six submarines of the Second Fleet, largely due to the visual sharing of fish eyes.
"I can see the ruins of Fortress No. 5 very clearly." Pedro's voice sounded slightly trembling, and activating the Eye of the Soul continued to consume his mental power, which made him very tired: "Well... The progress of the project is unexpectedly fast, the original special high-strength glass curtain wall of Fortress No. 5 has been demolished, and a new pyramid-shaped building has been built on the original site."
Faintly remembering: "The pyramid-shaped building... that should be the Xumizuo... I understand, it turns out that Joseph's so-called reconstruction project is just a cover-up."
"Sister Hun, I remember that the predecessor of Xumizuo was a floating platform on the sea. After the transformation, it became a liftable building that can both float on the sea surface and sink to the bottom of the sea?"
"Yes, the Xumizuo can be disassembled and reinstalled just like the prefabricated house, but the technical content is not that high." Hun started chatting: "What Pedro sees now is naturally the Xumizuo with many accessories installed. , such as the many probes under its base, which are used to fix the Xumizuo on the seabed, like a stilt building."
"But Sister Hun, what did you mean when you just said that Joseph was hiding his identity?"
"Think about it, if you want to rebuild a building on the same site, the first thing you have to do is clean up the ruins, right?"
"Well...that's it...you mean, since Joseph arranged the Xumizuo here instead of continuing the cleaning work, it means that he doesn't want to start rebuilding for the time being?" Bai Fei is smart and makes sense.
"You can't say that..." Hun raised his wrist and took a look at the time: "We still have plenty of time, Pedro, please take a look directly below the Xumizuo to see if anyone is cleaning up the ruins."
After a while, Pedro reported: "Indeed, there are a lot of people, about two hundred to three hundred people, and most of them are driving underwater engineering robots."
"Sure enough, Joseph is trying to catch both sides." Hun was already convinced of his inner guess: "Externally, he claimed to give priority to rebuilding Fortress No. 5, but in fact, he moved the Shenwu Processing Factory to Xumizuo."
"Extend a winch from the bottom of the Xumizuo to dig a well, drill all the way through the ruins, break through the bottom defensive metal wall of Fortress No. 5, and reconnect the pipeline transporting the divine mist."
"Just like an offshore oil drilling platform? Shenwu enters the Xumizuo along the pipeline, and completes the purification and extraction in the Xumizuo. The production line of Shenwu pharmaceutical is restored." Bai Fei thought: "Rebuilding the fortress requires a long construction period and a large investment. This is indeed the fastest way to resume the production of Shenwu potion, but is this an act of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause? Alien monsters will emerge from well No. 5 at any time. If they are not eliminated, they will soon occupy the metal hall at the bottom. Joseph It’s very difficult for my husband to cope with this situation.”
"Senior, you are wrong." Diego, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "After the lowest level of the fortress is connected to the Xumizuo, not only can the divine mist come up, but the people in the Xumizuo can also go down."
"The people working under the Xumi Seat are all serious criminals and death row prisoners recruited by Joseph from Ten Thousand Islands County. This number does not match up, right? The eldest brother only saw more than 200 people, but according to the intelligence, the prisoners who came to Fortress No. 5 There should be as many as eight hundred."
"Where did the difference of more than five hundred go? Joseph won't let them take turns, right?"
"As many as 800 prisoners have been requisitioned in Wandao County, and Baoxiang County has almost the same number. The construction team with a total of more than 1,600 people is very unreasonable. Even if there is an urgent need for manpower, it is not such a supplementary method."
"The only explanation is: Joseph does need workers to rebuild the fortress, but the priority above that is cannon fodder to fight against alien invading creatures."
Dim's voice was lowered: "This is the most likely answer." She had extensive contacts in the revival organization and knew the past of the two brothers.
Perhaps his heart was touched, Diego concluded meaningfully: "Ah, the faces of the federal high-level officials... This is not the first time that my eldest brother and I have seen each other..."
Pedro was silent. Everyone who joins the Renaissance organization has a story, but most of those stories are difficult for those involved to remember. Brothers Pedro and Diego obviously belong to that majority of people.
The first person to break the depressing atmosphere was Hong: "Everyone, we have plenty of time tonight, but the chance to seize Manila No. 5 Well is only tonight. The Renaissance Organization has people like Miss Bai who can interfere with alien channels. It is our biggest secret and reliance, and must never be known to anyone outside the organization."
"In this operation, we bypassed Joseph Chapman and the God's Favored Ones just to keep the secret. And just tomorrow, the escort fleet from Baoxiang County will bring hundreds of prisoners, and the situation will be even worse. There are many people and many eyes are mixed, so tonight is the only time to take action." (Hun didn't know that the God's Favored One had already understood Bai Fei's ability, nor did he know that the escort fleet from Baoxiang County no longer existed)
"Understood." Diego spoke loudly.
"I will work hard." Bai Fei responded.
"Sir," Pedro finally opened his eyes, and the results of the investigation around Xumizuo were already obtained: "The federal army does not monitor the prisoners closely, and there are loopholes in the patrol circle of the individual armored shuttle."
"Very good, then..."
"Set off."
