It was not the first time Wu Qiao went to meet this "Nicole".
In fact, he used to visit often.
Darrell never forgot his wife before his death, so Wu Qiao has always been very kind to the captives and tried his best to meet their demands.
He was well aware that these people were just clones of Darrell's wife, but, he thought, the clones were sort of a continuation of the real person.
Darrell definitely wanted to treat them kindly, so Wu Qiao really treated them kindly.
One of them is very interested in the real Nicole, and there is a little bit of "root-seeking".
These clones were stripped of emotions, and Wu Qiao didn't understand why she was special.
That guy, being Nicole's clone, loved hearing about Darrell and was curious about Nicole's own husband. She often asked what Darrell was like, and how he got along with his "identity."
She asked Wu Qiao: "Aren't they very much in love? To what extent are they in love?"
She also asks, "Why does Nicole like Darrell? What kind of person is Darrell?"
Wu Qiao didn't know about the couple's affairs at all, so he could only keep talking about how much Major General Darrell loved this country, how he fought from a young man to an old man but still refused to give up, how he persuaded him in the military Crying when he went back to enjoy life, how he fought until the last second before he died, and how he ordered himself to carry his coffin to the battle. He also showed her a lot of Darrell's fighting videos.
That "Nicole" couldn't understand the feeling. However, she thought, since her "noumenon" likes such a person, then if she has not been removed from the Seven Emotions, she should also like such a person.
This time, Wu Qiao embraced the task and didn't exchange too many greetings. He very straightforwardly proposed what he hoped to accomplish.
"This country has been invaded and is facing catastrophe." Wu Qiao simply explained, "Manufactured people like you have been thrown into the battlefield. They are too powerful, and we have no way to win."
"So?" "Nicole" looked at Wu Qiao. Ever since she knew that Wu Qiao was the person Darrell admired the most, her attitude towards Wu Qiao became obviously much closer.
"So," Wu Qiao said again, "we have to destroy the research institute so that they can't create more people. Only by pulling out the source can there be a glimmer of hope."
"and also?"
"I hope you can tell me what are the characteristics of the research institute you were in." Wu Qiao said word by word, "This can help us find out the orientation of the research institute, so as to preserve the alliance."
"..."
"Please... help us."
"I really don't care," she said.
"..."
"But..." "Nicole" stared at Wu Qiao, "I think... Darrell would really like me to help you, right? You once told me that Darrell's most important thing is this country. I have devoted my whole life to peace as soon as possible."
"Of course." The word "loyalty" is simply Darrell's medal.
"Then..." "Nicole" thought for a while, "As the continuation of his wife, I probably need to fulfill his wish before he died."
To Wu Qiao's surprise, "Nicole" quickly agreed.
She said: "As a clone of a person, I don't know how to view the relationship between me and her. I don't want more people to be created."
She not only circled the conditions of the institute, but also described the various characteristics of the institute in detail.
Wu Qiao and the others looked at the list and easily found a location that was closer to the original research institute, with a similarity of 80%. Sure enough, after the six "Nicoles" were accidentally captured by the empire, the prudent neutral country abandoned the original research institute for the sake of insurance. The cost of doing this is high, but the neutral country is not short of money.
The new institute has almost all the external conditions of the old site. It seems that the researchers still prefer to conduct research in an environment similar to the original one.
As for the other location, it is completely different from the old institute. The builders of the research institute should not choose a place that was completely despised before as the new address.
"It's really not easy..." Wu Qiao sighed, "Analyzed from three points of view, the location was finally determined."
The first aspect is to logically narrow the scope down to five.
The second aspect is to analyze the area where the sperm and egg donors live. Among the five candidate sites, two are located in the sunflower population concentration area.
The third aspect is to learn from "Nicole" the external conditions that the builders of the institute value more. One of the two candidate targets was too far from what she said, and neither of them could be matched, so it was obvious that she would not be selected.
This is the only intersection point of the three circles.
The location was finally determined, and Wu Qiao said to Tan Yan, "Blow up the research institute."
Tan Yan smiled: "Of course. Speaking of which, how do you plan to act?"
"Infiltrate the research institute and sabotage it from the inside. A sudden attack will make it impossible to guard against." Wu Qiao didn't want to spend time on the external battle, because then they might move quickly. Moreover, "Nicole" said that the main part of the research institute is underground, and it is difficult to destroy it by bombing from the outside.
After listening to Wu Qiao's words, Tan Yan agreed: "Have you made a specific plan?"
"It's almost there." Wu Qiao said, "We use the sewage pipes to go in directly, and then blow up the research institute to nothing."
"Who is involved in this operation?"
Wu Qiao said: "I want to bring 'Nicole', she is very strong."
"It should." Tan Yan said, "She is the most familiar opponent."
Wu Qiao took another deep breath: "The other two main players are you... and me."
"... Are you going too?"
"Yes... the enemies are all reformed people, and their strength is unprecedentedly strong. Our soldiers need twenty against one to have any hope of winning. Victory or defeat depends on one action. We must send the strongest lineup to win the greatest chance of winning. At present , in one-on-one, only you and I can win. The premise is that you who drive Longyuan and I who drive Crow Nine. Moreover, the cooperation between you and me is the closest, which can inspire a Adding one is more energy than two. Compared with you going alone, I can greatly increase our ability with you..." In fact, Wu Qiao has never cooperated with Tan Yan at all. Tan Yan only occasionally trains with him, but every time he Find a sense of ease and flow with your soul mate. He always knows what Tan Yan will do next, and Tan Yan treats him the same. Not just the two of them, even Ya Jiu and Long Yuan can protect and assist each other very well. Ji Yao once said with a smile: "I've never seen such a scary duo."
"...Huh?" Tan Yan asked, "Have you ever won? I haven't heard of it."
"Leyla and I defeated our opponent two-on-two." Mentioning Leila, Wu Qiao felt a little sad again.
Tan Yan patted his shoulder.
Wu Qiao called Long Yuan and Ya Jiu, and told them about the plan.
Yajiu's eyes seemed to be shining: "I, I, I, I... can I finally fight side by side with Long Yuan?!"
"Yes." Wu Qiao gave it an affirmative answer. Wu Qiao remembered that when Ya Jiu saw Long Yuan for the first time, he wanted to fight side by side with it. At that time, Yajiu described how majestic Longyuan was with an exclamational tone, but when he asked himself if it wanted to compete with Longyuan, Yajiu showed a confused look and said, "No, I don't want to, I want to fight side by side with it." For so long, Long Yuan and it have never fought together due to some reasons, but as if it was destined, in the end, Yajiu still got a joint enemy with Long Yuan Chance.
Before the banquet ended, Wu Qiao called Tan Yan to stop, as if he had something to say.
"What's wrong?" Tan Yan asked.
Wu Qiao hesitated to speak and said: "There is one more question, I want to confirm with you... one last time."
"what?"
"That's right," Wu Qiao pretended to be calm, "You know, the highest goal of this operation is to complete the task and destroy their research institute."
"Yes," Tan Yan looked at Wu Qiao with dark eyes. He asked, "Wu Qiao, what do you want to say?"
"I want to say that when there is only one choice between completing the mission and saving the lives of your companions... choose to complete the mission without hesitation."
Tan Yan didn't speak, his pupils were very dark, like the universe.
Facing such gazes, Wu Qiao began to stammer: "Don't forget what you should do just for me. If I can't do it, just leave me and go forward alone..."
"..."
"Tan Yan." Seeing that Tan Yan didn't speak, Wu Qiao was actually a little flustered. He is the person who is most afraid of talking about getting angry, but he still insisted on finishing what he needed to say, "Promise me now, Say you understand this. Of course, I will do the same, and I will agree to you. Regarding this operation, this is what I am most worried about.” Wu Qiao can feel that this time is very dangerous, and any mission in the past Nothing can compare with it. Both of them will fight, and it is very likely that they will face a situation where one of them has a life-and-death crisis. He decided to go together, and there was also this consideration—when one fell, the other could move on. However, he was very worried whether Tan Yan would forget what he should do because of his personal emotions.
Tan Yan: "..."
"Do you understand what I mean?" Wu Qiao asked again.
Tan Yan didn't answer. He wrapped his arms around Wu Qiao's waist, kissed Wu Qiao's brow with his hot lips, then slid down the bridge of his nose, and pressed his lips. Wu Qiao backed away slightly, as if trying to resist. Tan Yan chased after him, but Wu Qiao didn't move this time. Tan Yan only sketched the outline tentatively at first, but it didn't take long before he gently pried open Wu Qiao's teeth and gently sucked the tip of the other's tongue, Wu Qiao's whole body immediately went limp. After the kiss was over, Tan Yan kissed Wu Qiao's neck again. Wu Qiao gasped softly, his legs were weak, and he couldn't even stand upright. Fortunately, he was hugged tightly by the other party.
After a while, Wu Qiao regained consciousness and pushed Tan Yan away: "Hey, what are you doing?"
"You obviously don't want to be left behind by me." Tan Yan said, "You just acted like you wanted to cling to me forever."
"I want to be on you forever, but if there is really no other way..."
"I don't want to choose."
"... huh?" Wu Qiao was puzzled.
"You still have a country, and I will protect it. I can't even protect you, so how can I protect a country."
"..."
"Don't think so much." Tan Yan scratched Wu Qiao's left cheek with his index finger, "Believe in yourself and me, the two of us will be fine."
"... Mmm." For some reason, Wu Qiao felt much relieved after hearing what Tan Yan said. Originally, he planned to force Tan Yan to agree to him no matter what, but Tan Yan was too cunning, and in the end he didn't say anything.
Without further ado.
The neutral country created a batch of reformers for at least three months. At this time, it was exactly one month before the second batch of remodelers were released, and the third batch of remodelers or the mechs they were going to use should not have taken shape yet, so it was a good time to start taking action.
They found the exit of the institute's sewage pipes. The exit is far away, and the pipeline is very long, which can directly dump all kinds of waste from the research institute into the ocean.
Wu Qiao and the others first threw a batch of nano-robots into the pipeline. Tiny robots swim in reverse on the energy they carry. Like the bug that Wu Qiao used in Xianglong's Wing, the robot can emit an undetectable wave while swimming, and collect the wave band reflected from the object, and send it back to the military headquarters in real time. The military can analyze the vibration frequency of the item according to the different frequency bands, so as to infer various sounds outside the pipeline.
Robots go and go and go. By "tapping" the sound outside the pipeline, Wu Qiao, Tan Yan, Ji Yao and others selected multiple "landing" locations. The sound showed that these landing sites were all inside the research institute, and the room outside the pipeline was large and relatively empty, and it was not important, and few people went there, so it was very suitable as an entrance for an assault.
The day for the real hands-on was set on a Friday night, because Friday night is a time when people are more likely to slack off.
All the mechs turned into the smallest form, turned off the machine brake, wiped the absorbing material, and used a parachute to jump off a neutral merchant ship obtained in advance.
It is still very far away from the research institute, so it has not been designated as a combat area, and there is no aviation control.
When Ya Jiu saw the sewage pipes, he yelled, "It's so... so dirty!" It is the most cleanliness mecha, and its heart beats when it sees dirty things.
"The nanorobots have already analyzed the ingredients, and most of them are biological culture fluids." Wu Qiao comforted Xia Yajiu, "The surfaces of the mechs are all coated with protective materials, and you will never suffer any real harm. of." The protective material can isolate all the substances analyzed by the nanorobots.
"It's still... still dirty." Ya Jiu said, "No... but it's a fight!"
"obedient."
The mechas filed into the pipeline.
The ducts are wide enough to accommodate multiple scaled-down mechs side by side. There is waste flowing below, and the dirty look is disgusting. The damp inside of the pipes is a typical place to induce claustrophobia. Ya Jiu felt very uncomfortable again. Fortunately, Long Yuan was here this time, and there were many other companions, although under the cover of some unknown gas, the companions could not see clearly in the black smoke.
The mechas have all arrived at the pointing location determined based on the nano-robot data—600 mechas, and they will go up through five exits.
The number of reformers in each batch of neutral countries is about 300. Wu Qiao estimates that there are at most 30 reformers guarding the research institute—the neutral country will not let too many reformers idle here, and the alliance should be able to handle it with 600 mechas.
The Institute is very large, with many floors up and down. It is actually not easy to destroy in an instant.
"...start!" The second hand pointed to the battle time, Wu Qiao gave an order, and with the sound of several cannons, the pipeline was blown apart!
The mechs flew out in an instant, and Yajiu was no exception!
They adjusted to a suitable size in this space, and began to go to the place they wanted to bomb.
Wu Qiao and Tan Yan are in the same team.
As soon as Tan Yan went out, he captured a researcher alive, tied him up and put him on a brain wave lie detector a few times, and then Tan Yan asked Long Yuan to hold him by the waist.
"Nicole" was also with Wu Qiao and Tan Yan.
She calmly pointed the way. Based on her impression, looking for the location of the training room—the internal structure of the new research institute is not very different from the old research institute she used to stay in.
"The research room and the training room should be together, both in the deepest part of the research institute." "Nicole" said, "Those two places are the core area, and destroying them is the most important thing."
"it is good."
If he came across a lock that required fingerprints, Long Yuan would use the researcher's fingers to press it.
If there is a lock that needs irises, Long Yuan will peel off the research institute's eyelids and stick them on.
Sometimes a password is required, the researcher won't say. Tan Yan looked at the polygraph screen and asked word by word: "Which number is the first password? One? Two? Three? Four? Five? Six? Seven? Eight? Nine? Zero?" Professional training, as long as he reads the real password, Tan Yan can see his brain wave changes on the screen. Ask one by one, and all come out in less than a minute.
The researcher really wanted to cry.
At the same time, they heard cannon fire starting in the distance.
Those 600 mechs are starting to perform their missions!
Afterwards, those mechs seemed to be caught in a bitter battle. All kinds of irregular weapon firing sounds came continuously, and Wu Qiao could tell just by the sound, many of the rhythms were combinations that would appear in the twenty-man tactics.
"..." The enemy has gone to each location to fight separately...
Wu Qiao could only pray for them from the bottom of his heart.
Nicole led Wu Qiao Tanyan forward at high speed, and encountered some miscellaneous soldiers on the road, but none of them posed a threat to them.
Then, not far from the core area, they encountered a real opponent without any surprise!
Three cyborg drivers...
"Hmph," "Nicole" chuckled, "Do they think three drivers are enough for us?"
"Obviously so." Wu Qiao replied, "Let's deal with the rest." The alliance is very weak, and has been using a twenty-on-one strategy, and three-on-three is enough to save face.
"Fly at an ultra-low altitude!" Wu Qiao commanded.
Now, he is the captain of the formation.
Using ultra-low-altitude flight, you can narrow the opponent's attack range. At this time, the opponent's shell attack range is no longer a branch line, but only a point. Because the opponent's position is higher, and the position of the three of them is very low, almost close to the ground, so it is impossible for the opponent to hit multiple targets in a straight line at the same time, they can only attack one by one, and the shooting envelope of the shell is also small. As for yourself, you can find a favorable position and shoot multiple enemies in a straight line.
Wu Qiao and Tan Yan exchanged opinions, and then Wu Qiao swayed to Tan Yan with a "swipe".
"Hmph." The reformers dismissed them.
The purpose of using ultra-low-altitude flight is to avoid being strung together, which is completely contrary to the previous strategic essentials!
However, the reformer soon discovered to his surprise that with a swish, 30 dragons flew out from behind Wu Qiao at the same time!
Ryuyon, used its special skill "Phantom" again!
Then, as if a replica of the scene just now, Longyuan Yajiu switched positions, and dozens of Longyuan Yajiu stood in front of Yajiu. When they dispersed again, Yajiu disappeared!
The reformers knew that Yajiu must have shrunk a little and hid behind a certain "Longyuan". But... Which one is it... At this moment, they neither knew where Tan Yan was nor where Wu Qiao was.
After continuous improvement of Ryongyeon, the phantom became more and more realistic, to the point where humans could never distinguish it.
Ordinary mechs don't have infrared detection devices...
Damn it... It's nothing more than Tan Yan hiding in the phantom, but even Wu Qiao couldn't find it...
Now, the phantoms are no longer pure subject projections like a few years ago, and Tan Yan can even manipulate the phantoms to make various actions.
The shadows moved at a dizzying speed.
The reformers observed for a while, and soon found that a phantom moved relatively slowly, as if it was cooperating with someone.
"Hmph." They knew as soon as they thought about it, since Ya Jiu was dancing behind Long Yuan, the two sides would definitely not be able to achieve perfect synchronization. If you want to hide behind a phantom all the time, you will naturally be slower than other phantoms, because they need to communicate with each other and cooperate with each other!
The cyborg who discovered this directly bombarded that phantom!
But they turned out to be wrong.
There is nothing behind that phantom.
At this moment, the "Yongyeon" who had the most complicated movements that they eliminated first, suddenly fired a shell from behind, and took advantage of the gap after their mistake to hit the transformation that had just launched a wrong attack. people!
In this level of confrontation, there can be no mistakes at all.
Wu Qiao will not give them any chance.
This shot directly kicked the reformed man out of the battle.
"..." Transformation People can't believe that there is such a level of mutual cooperation in the world. The trajectories of both sides are so fast, but they can achieve absolute consistency, just like the shadows of each other!
The only downside to cyborgs who rely on calculations is that they place too much trust in "logic". As long as ordinary human beings do something "illogical" in their eyes, they will not know how to deal with it for a moment.
After changing to three versus two, the situation suddenly became much clearer.
Ryongyeon has a body and 30 phantoms, together with Wu Qiao and "Nicole", like a small team, gradually wiped out the three cyborg opponents.
"Go ahead!" Wu Qiao said.
"... Hmm." Tan Yan responded.
…
— It didn't take long before they came across a door made of a super-strong alloy.
The researcher's fingerprints, irises, etc. all cannot be opened.
"Don't you have permission?" Tan Yan asked him.
He nodded dejectedly. Tan Yan could tell from the lie detector that he wasn't lying—he really couldn't open the door.
"Blast it away!" Wu Qiao said.
"Yeah." Tan Yan nodded.
None of the strongest weapons of Longyuan and Yajiu can be used. Crow Nine's anti-matter weapon will be annihilated, and that annihilation will even wipe out the close-range self. In this operation, Wu Qiao didn't even hang the strongest weapon, because the research institute is deep underground, and antimatter weapons can't annihilate the research institute from the outside, and it's even more useless when it's inside the research institute. As for Longyuan's strongest weapon, the particle cannon, it is also not suitable for use on planets.
Wu Qiao observed the door and found the most vulnerable part.
When Yajiu's electromagnetic cannon was fully charged, he hit the center of the alloy door with one shot! The alloy twisted ugly, but it wasn't blown out of the hole.
Wu Qiao stored a few more shells, each of which hit exactly where the previous shell's warhead landed, without any deviation!
Soon, a small hole appeared in the door.
Wu Qiao pulled out the laser sword, inserted it into the hole, and spun vigorously. The door was instantly bright as daylight, and the laser burned the material on the door. The material slowly vaporized and ejected shock waves. The stress waves formed by the ionized atoms also pulled the alloy material, and the damaged hole in the door became bigger and bigger. , and finally let them drill through.
Beyond the door is a brightly lit research room.
A series of small rooms are distributed on both sides of the research room, and there are various bottles and jars inside, and the innermost part of the research institute is a main research room that is larger than the small rooms in the front. .
In the small room, many senior researchers stood where they were, not daring to move, and some hid wherever they could. Everyone's eyes widened in horror—these researchers were all helpless.
"I'll clean up these messes." "Nicole" said to Wu Qiao and Tan Yan, "Go to the innermost part!"
"Yeah." Wu Qiao didn't show any politeness to her, and flew directly inside with Tan Yan!
The innermost main research room is no longer isolated from the outside with hard materials.
What it has is just a very ordinary door.
This time the door was a bit small, and Ya Jiu kicked a big hole in the door and the wall. After flying in, he asked Wu Qiao loudly, "Do you want to blow it up?"
Just as Wu Qiao was about to say "yes", he saw a man next to the test bench turn around.
Wu Qiao only took one look, and stood there blankly as if struck by lightning, staring straight at the man's face.
He was most familiar with that face.
No, it should be said that people all over the country are the most familiar, because for 150 years he has been appearing in various textbooks of the empire and the alliance, and he is honored as a "god".
He discovered Qingsha and saved the empire whose resources were about to collapse.
— Qiu Yanting.
"...Qiu Yanting?" Wu Qiao couldn't believe what he saw, "Why are you here?! It's... you discovered Qingsha and saved the people of our country!"
Why, is he in the terrifying institute in the neutral country
Was it persecuted? !
Over there, Qiu Yanting showed a treacherous smile on her pale face: "Qingsha?"
"..."
Qiu Yanting said: "Qingsha... is the biggest deception in human history."
