When Fang Linyan and the others were still browsing Mercer's information, this guy made a very legitimate request, but it made Fang Linyan and the others abhor it,
That was, he wanted to continue replenishing his energy!
In other words, the idle equipment on Fang Linyan and the others, or to be precise, the equipment and items that were sold in the space for more than 1000 utility points, were all on Mercer's menu.
Moreover, Mercer's reason was hard to refuse, that was because the life of the moth he was now attached to had completely disappeared.
Four days ago, Mercer had driven a Red Star Shuttle out to do something due to his paranoia and confidence in his combat ability.
As a result, he encountered a small probability event. He accidentally encountered a patrolling federal army formation. He had a lot of opportunities to escape.
However, in the process of escaping, due to a freak combination of factors, the Scarlet Star Shuttle malfunctioned, causing it to burst into flames and explode. When the Scarlet Star Shuttle crashed, it even caused heavy damage to the pilot. Furthermore, the Federation Army was hot on their heels.
At this time, Mercer had no choice but to control his "source core", which was the bright red crystal, which was also his only weakness. He then aimed at a moth next to him and launched a parasitic origin ability.
When he crashed, he consumed a lot of energy in order to save his life. At this time, he forcefully launched the parasitic origin ability, and he immediately fainted. The parasitic moth also fell into the scattered luggage next to him.
When Mercer woke up, he found that he had been transported to the designated loot warehouse in the luggage. The warehouse was equipped with a high-sensitivity anti-theft device.
When this device was in operation, once it sensed that something was moving, including mosquitoes and flies, it would directly shoot a high-heat ray at it, making it evaporate into thin air.
Such anti-theft equipment was also necessary because the technology in this world could already make drones the size of flies to fly everywhere to collect information.
After Mercer was trapped in the loot warehouse, he must have been a little flustered at this time, so he directly used the energy stored for emergency use and sent out a distress signal.
So this was the reason why Capsule Technology desperately tried to save him. Of course, if they couldn't save him, they might kill him.
The result was obvious, the operation was unsuccessful.
This was because the distress signal sent out by Mercer could only show its approximate location (accurate to within two kilometers).
At this moment, Casio had already sensed that something was amiss with the capsule technology. Thus, he gave the order to transfer the war spoils captives into the command center.
This sudden incident caught Mercer off guard. He tried his best to avoid being discovered, but this had consumed a lot of his Origin Energy which was already low to begin with.
After the transfer was completed, Mercer was already in a weakened state due to the lack of energy. He could only hide under the toilet bowl to survive.
If Fang Linyan didn't appear, he would die of weakness due to the lack of energy supply more than two hours later.
This kind of death was no different from humans dying of thirst or starvation in the desert.
Fang Linyan endured the pain and took out the Red Shuttle Pirate's wristguard for Mercer to absorb. Finally, its own origin energy value recovered to about 15%. In this way, Mercer could once again launch origin energy parasitism on insects and other creatures to save its life again at the critical moment.
However, at this point, Fang Linyan also paid a heavy price. The three pieces of Red Shuttle Pirate's wristguard that he had high hopes of selling at a good price were gone just like that.
What was even more embarrassing was that Vulture's original escape route was an all-terrain jeep, and then it drove to the outpost 021.
There, Goat knew a guy who had a way to get a "bison" air cushion patrol boat.
Of course, Goat said to that guy that he was betting with a friend, and he just wanted to go for a ride.
But when he really went up, of course, it was not up to him.
If everything goes well, the three of them will be able to take Mercer to the air cushion patrol boat and directly enter the swamp 12 kilometers away. After entering the swamp, it can be said that it's equivalent to a tiger returning to the forest and a dragon returning to the sea.
As a result, the 3 of them quickly discovered a very cruel fact, that was, there was a problem in the first step.
After being delayed by Mercer for more than 10 minutes, the all-terrain jeep that Vulture got was driven away directly. Perhaps the reason was that it was parked illegally, or it was overused.
In this case, the 3 of them had to ask Mercer to see if there was any power that Capsule Technology could use.
Mercer simply gave them a contact list, but warned them not to have too much hope.
After all, the new Guardian Fort was established not long ago, and it took time for Capsule Technology to arrange a spy. Not only that, even if there was a spy, he should have been exposed in the night attack the day before yesterday.
So now in the end, the 3 of them could only rely on themselves to find a way.
***
Just when the 3 of them began to arrange an escape plan in full swing, there was a roar like muffled thunder in the sky. A Condor medical transport aircraft flew from a distance and finally landed slowly in the airport of the new Guardian Fort.
This Condor medical transport aircraft had a unique iron cross paint on its fuselage. It was a war weapon that directly belonged to the Federation. At first glance, it was obvious that Colonel Casio took it back successfully from the mothership after being questioned.
The aircraft abandoned the traditional biplane design and used a suspension thruster to adjust the flight direction and control take-off and landing. Two high-power dual-engine engines were installed on the inside of the tail. These were the engines used for flying inside the planet, and two champagne-shaped "ion accelerators" were hung under the tail.
The "ion accelerator" could allow the transport aircraft to travel in the vast and boundless universe. The advantage was that it could accelerate rapidly, but the disadvantage was that it was not suitable for manual operation. Because the control was complicated and precise, it usually needed to be equipped with an autopilot mode.
The dual-engine engine was relatively slow and stable, which was suitable for flying in the atmosphere.
Unlike the conventional air transport giant, the "Condor medical transport aircraft" was a war weapon carefully built by the federal government for war. It combined both transport and medical functions.
The belly of the aircraft was also equipped with a unique hanging and grabbing device that could seamlessly connect with the standard transport cabin that was shaped like a container. The maximum take-off weight could reach 500 tons, allowing it to carry a semi-mechanized company (including the weight of the exoskeleton armor) and two "Mammoth" heavy tanks.
What was praiseworthy was that this aircraft was equipped with the most complete medical rescue facilities. The experimental nano-repair cabin and the automatic minimally invasive surgery table could be said to be the medical equipment that started a new era. Coupled with the newly extracted growth hormone, it could successfully save the soldiers who had been summoned by the grim reaper.
When the medical transport aircraft came to a stop, Casio impatiently walked down the gangway. While muttering to himself, he asked the driver to bring him back to the command center.
Just half an hour ago, Casio suddenly felt restless, as though something big was about to happen. Therefore, he immediately called the new Guardian Fort and received a reply that everything was normal.
However, Casio was a person who believed in his own intuition. Immediately, he asked his subordinate to report any possible mistakes that might have occurred within the past hour. However, at this moment, his communication was interrupted and directly cut off.
Actually, this was something that couldn't be avoided. Nevertheless, it caused Casio to feel exceptionally restless. Therefore, he wanted to return to his office with the fastest speed possible and properly sort out the matters that had occurred after he left, to see if there were any mistakes.
After only 10 minutes, Casio sat behind his office desk. Then, he called his secretary over and asked him to report any possible mistakes that might have occurred within the past hour.
Then, he recorded them down one by one in his notebook. Following that, he began to analyze exactly which of these matters had gone wrong.
At this moment, Casio's guard captain, Raphael, suddenly walked over and said.
"Colonel, didn't you previously instruct us to keep an eye on that filthy Asian? We want him to vanish from the face of the earth three days later. Therefore, I assigned this mission to my subordinates. In the end, someone said that there's a problem with him. "
"Oh?" Casio instantly became spirited. Immediately, he sat up straight and said. "Tell me about it."
Raphael nodded and said.
"An hour ago, the engineering department had issued a warning. The reason given was that an energy surge had occurred once again. They couldn't eliminate the possibility of another explosion. Therefore, they needed to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the entire command center's energy pipelines."
"After the warning was issued, this person attempted to enter the secret warehouse in the name of inspecting the energy pipelines. After being stopped, he was even reported to Rother."
"After our investigation, we discovered that although there was indeed an energy pipeline passing through the interior of the temporary secret warehouse, even if this energy pipeline were to explode, it wouldn't pose much of a threat. At the very most, it would only cause the destruction of a few empty rooms. "
"Furthermore, there are two energy pipelines that pose a much greater threat. If a problem were to occur and they were to explode, more than half of the command center would be paralyzed."
"After clearly knowing that he would be humiliated if he were to enter the temporary secret warehouse, this person known as Spanner would actually give up what's close at hand and seek what's far away. Regardless of what's important, he insisted on inspecting the energy pipeline within the secret warehouse. No matter what, this doesn't conform to human nature."
"Furthermore, his skills are actually very superb ….."
Hearing till here, Casio bluntly waved his hand and said.
"No need to say anymore. This person is already sufficiently suspicious. Immediately issue the order to arrest him!"
