Facing the body of the unknown soldier, the three of them performed simple etiquette.
Then he took the sergeant's body off the vehicle and unexpectedly discovered that he was holding a small object tightly in his hand.
It was a tiny satellite ground terminal.
Coincidentally, this small terminal was not hit by the laser beam and was well preserved.
The three of them suddenly realized that if they could receive a distress message, it must be from this small terminal.
Shou Gong took the terminal and checked it briefly:
"Yesterday he uploaded information for the last time, destroyed the internal storage device, and finally sent a location request for help."
"It is estimated that he completed these standard operations while he was dying. They are very admirable!"
Wei Ling judged sadly.
The three men moved the sergeant's body back to the "Blue Bird" vehicle, packed it in a special body bag, and then placed it in an ice coffin.
It's not surprising that a military vehicle like the "Blue Bird" has something like a body bag on it.
The four teenagers, affected by the solemnity of Wei Ling and the other three, couldn't help but feel sad. For the first time, they felt that death was so close.
Shou Gong and Li Lingyou showed the four teenagers the images of what they had just seen inside the shelter, and asked questions:
"It feels strange, why this vehicle was hit by the laser beam intensive defense array, why is it in this place, and now, it is in a power outage state!"
This situation made several people really puzzled and unable to explain the reason.
Finally, Welling hypothesized a situation:
"The only explanation that makes sense is that this colleague knew that the shelter was already out of power, so he drove a small vehicle and flew directly in without stopping outside.
This is why we found no signs of him docking on the platform.
However, when he entered, an accident occurred. Someone inside the shelter discovered his intrusion and activated the defense system in real time.
The defense system attacked instantly, and he just escaped to a position not far from the cave entrance and was hit by the last round of defense formation!
Then, the vehicle fell to that location. Because the vehicle was small and suspended in such a passage, its height was very low from the ground. Once the vehicle was damaged, it would not roll over and it would appear to just stop there. "
"That makes sense, most likely!"
Li Lingyou nodded.
"Well, we think the situation the teacher mentioned is the only truth that can explain this situation."
"Then, is it certain that there is at least one person inside this shelter who can control the entire defense system."
The guard also nodded.
Welling added another hypothesis:
"Yes, this can definitely be considered a possibility, but actually there is another possibility.
Could it be that the sergeant and a companion split up after entering the shelter?
That companion accidentally triggered some kind of defense mechanism, triggering the automatic defense of the shelter. Something went wrong on his own side, but in the end he successfully shut down the entire energy system of the shelter?
If you infer this, then the person should still be inside. "
Several people looked at each other, yes, the situation that Welling assumed was also possible.
Welling made a decision:
"No, we still have to go down and search carefully. Anyway, the defense system inside has been turned off, so there is not much danger."
"Okay, you still can't be careless."
Li Lingyou nodded in agreement.
Wei Ling and Shu Gong entered the doorway again.
This time, the guard deliberately amplified the sound of footsteps and used various means to detect abnormalities in real time.
When he arrived at the place where he found the "Oriole", Welling carefully checked the ground and found some scratch marks. These marks appeared at the location before he used his magic to drag the vehicle.
This just proves that Welling's guess is correct. When the vehicle flew out from inside, it encountered an attack at this location.
The two successfully passed through the Phalanx positions and entered a relatively safe area.
The light grew dimmer.
The small lamp bead naturally lit up on the gecko's forehead again, providing the necessary glimmer of light to move forward.
She herself can see through ultrasound and infrasound night vision, but Welling needs a little light to do it.
As the passage deepens, you enter a huge cave hall with many forked roads.
In the cave hall, the two discovered something very unexpected.
Licensing guides!
The guide board clearly marks the functional areas on the ground and underground as well as the current location.
The ground floor mainly includes training rooms, conference rooms, first-level barracks, defense monitoring rooms, material storage warehouses, toilets, canteens... and other very ordinary rooms. It feels like an ordinary shelter with only certain protective capabilities. Same.
The underground part has three floors.
On the first floor, there is only one content, the scientific research room.
The second floor is even more civilian-level, with a rest room, living room, central square, audio-visual room, medical room, delivery room, postoperative recovery room... and other places for eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping.
There are three floors underground, and there are only two items, one is the control room, and the other is the swimming pool.
The most amazing thing is that where there are isolation gates, fire doors, screen doors and defense arrays, they are all clearly marked with illustrations.
The two looked at each other.
This is a peaceful institution integrating scientific research and daily life.
These illustrations are designed to allow people inside to avoid offensive positions in critical moments.
"It feels like this place has been abandoned for years... Take a look at every floor."
Welling wiped the dust off the guide sign with his finger.
Shou Gong gave different suggestions:
"Otherwise, let's just take the shortcut and go down to the bottom floor to take a look at the control room first.
I have a hunch that maybe the entire management system used in this shelter is imperial civilian grade, and maybe I can get permission quickly. "
"Okay, try to power the entire non-attack part of the shelter."
Immediately, the two of them went all the way down through the guidance of the guide board.
At their speed, it took them a long time to reach the control room at the bottom.
According to the absolute pressure elevation of the gecko, it is already several meters below sea level.
When approaching the lowest level, according to Welling's guess, he should either see the companion of the sacrificed sergeant or encounter a guard who was on defense.
The two of them were naturally very careful and used various detection methods.
But the result made Wei Ling very confused.
With the way he used to check his mental power, not even a mouse could escape his detection, but there was no one.
Pushing open the control room, they saw a whole row of control consoles through the faint light.
It was very easy to find the defensive control part.
On the console, there are three buttons on a very smooth surface with no dust.
"Start defense (level one)", "Turn off defense", "Turn off base energy system".
There is a thin layer of dust on hundreds of other different buttons.
Even before the Annihilation, most control systems used touch screens, and purely mechanical control buttons were relatively rare.
This design is mostly designed to prepare the shelter for smooth start-up after being attacked by various electromagnetic weapons.
The gecko quickly found the connection port of the master control system, and connected a strand of hair to the port.
A few minutes later, Shou Gong smiled slightly and nodded:
"Yes, it is indeed the empire's civilian-grade security system and control system. It is simpler than imagined."
As the information was thrown out, all the lights on the three underground floors lit up one by one.
The control room was bright and clear.
"Read the log records."
Wei Ling ordered to guard the palace.
"Okay, sir, the geothermal energy system of the entire base is currently normal. It has been dormant for nearly ten years. Yesterday, because the defense Phalanx used a large amount of reserve energy, one unit resumed operation and has been replenishing energy deep underground. "
“The log information contains only the content generated by yesterday’s and just the previous manipulations, and the previous ones have been completely deleted.
No, it’s not deletion. The main memory is not found. It is a small-capacity backup memory. Hey, it’s strange. The backup memory was only used for the first time yesterday..."
Welling frowned:
"It means that since the shelter was deactivated, the original memory was removed. It was not until the defense formation was opened yesterday that the spare memory was used. During this period of deactivation, it has not been opened."
"Is such that."
“No, since Regulus XIV’s colleagues are here, there must be something here that attracted their attention.
Moreover, they knew that this place was closed, without guards or protection, so they flew in directly.
Therefore, it can be concluded that it is not that simple here, but what they are really interested in may be the storage memory that was taken away when the shelter was closed. "
"Yes! Maybe those sensitive information are in the removed memory!"
"Then, not only did Regulus's colleagues gain nothing, but they also encountered targeted attacks... Look at those physical buttons to see if there is any information such as fingerprints."
Wei Ling ordered to guard the palace.
Gecko enables over-the-horizon microscanning of the key surface.
"No fingerprints."
Welling coldly threw out the message:
"If it were a humanoid creature transformed from an octopus, he might not have fingerprints either!"
The guard suddenly realized:
"Yes, Young Master is right! I was surprised before. Logically speaking, the swimming pool should be on the ground floor or the second underground floor, not on the bottom floor!
If the swimming pool has a passage leading to the depths of the sea, that's another story! "
Wei Ling nodded and walked out of the control room:
"Set new instructions for the entire system and abandon those physical keys!"
Shou Gong nodded and modified the entire control system.
At present, the only way to open and close the entire shelter is to rely on the guard to connect the system through the mind body.
The two walked through the bright aisle and soon saw the huge swimming pool.
It feels a bit inappropriate to call it a swimming pool.
After all, ordinary swimming pools, even those used for competitions, are slightly smaller than this.
The key is its depth, which is much greater than that of ordinary swimming pools.
The bright lights of hundreds of chandeliers are projected on the dark blue water, which is extremely calm.
"Sir, through chromatographic analysis, the water inlet under the pool is very large. It seems that it leads directly to the sea... Do you want me to go down and check it out."
"Don't worry, let's take a look. I'm just guessing. It may not be that guy. If it is really him, it will be difficult to find him."
Welling shook his head.
Welling walked slowly around the edge of the swimming pool.
Halfway to the opposite side, Welling stopped.
There were stains of blood on the ground, as well as some broken pieces of the warlock's black robe.
Not far away there was an intercom with a lighting device, also covered in blood.
Welling's face became a little angry, and he carefully examined the blood stains and fragments of clothes, analyzing and deducing the possible battle process yesterday.
Perhaps the sergeant's partner was a warlock from the Chabu secret group Regulus XIV, and he was probably not of a high level.
After they entered the shelter, they asked the vehicle to wait in the cave hall. He came down alone and went to the control room to find the required memory.
However, he met Zhang Longdan who was waiting here.
He knew immediately that the information was wrong and that the shelter was not unguarded.
The guard is always at the bottom of the pool, the mutated giant octopus.
In the ensuing battle, the octopus's strength probably crushed the warlock, so before he was torn apart, he sent a warning to his colleagues.
Zhang Longdan probably discovered the warlock and his companions, but he didn't go to the upper level and directly activated the defense device, causing the small vehicle to be destroyed by the laser defense array!
Immediately, Zhang Longdan shut down the sanctuary's energy control in a hurry.
Wei Ling left this process of speculation to Shou Gong.
