Not long after, Huimao raised its head and looked at Silin.
"Silin, it's done."
Done?
Silin looked at the aircraft. He didn't see any openings.
"Its main hatch isn't at the side, but under its belly," Huimao said.
Under its belly meant that it was at the bottom of the aircraft. However, wouldn't the main hatch of an aircraft of this shape usually be at the side?
If it was at the bottom, it wouldn't be easy.
Silin looked at Huimao, and Huimao started to dig. For a cat, it was rare to be able to practice digging to this level. Therefore, Huimao had always been proud of its ability to dig.
With Huimao's help, Silin quickly entered the interior of the aircraft from the bottom.
After entering, he could see the situation inside the aircraft at a glance.
This aircraft was mostly used to store those cylindrical cabins. Once the cylindrical cabins were released, the inside was much emptier.
He took out the detector to check. There was no special reaction. Everything was normal, but Silin felt uneasy. Thinking back to the rabbit, could it be that the rabbit was only here because of the mutated humans? It was a pity that the rabbit couldn't speak.
The gray cat circled around the spaceplane curiously and twitched its nose.
"There's a familiar smell."
"What smell?" Cillin couldn't smell it out. If someone had stayed here before and hadn't cleaned the place properly, Cillin would definitely be able to smell it out. In other words, the people who stayed here had been cleaned up when they left.
At this time, he couldn't help but admire Huimao's senses that were more sensitive than a detector.
Huimao walked around the cabin again and determined a general route. It raised its paw and pointed at the places where there was a slight residual smell. "There are many kinds of smells, but there's one that's very familiar. It's probably in these few places."
If the smell had been cleaned at the same time, then the places where there was a faint residual smell should be the places where the person stayed for a long time, or the places where some liquid from the person's body dripped.
"Ah, I remember now!" Huimao shouted, "It's that! When we went to the level one prison, we smelled that stench. It was disgusting, like a rat. I killed a few of them, but I didn't eat them. They were so smelly and disgusting. After I killed them, they were sticky like a puddle of water."
Something like a mouse? Was it as sticky as a puddle of water after being slapped to death?
"Wait, see if it's this one." Silin took out a small bottle from the scroll. At that time, he had collected some samples, but he had never analyzed it in depth.
He didn't even get close to it. As soon as the bottle was opened, Huimao yelled, "This is it! It's disgusting! Take it away!"
As expected!
In that case, it was indeed not "Azrael" or someone from other forces, but "Fog" or "Wushe".
That person … Silin remembered that he only brushed past that person at that time. He didn't do anything, but Silin could feel the haze in that person's heart. So, which side was that person from?
Forget it for now, there was no time to think about that. Silin's uneasiness grew stronger. There must be something else in this aircraft!
But Huimao didn't smell anything special. What could it be?
Silin analyzed the places that Huimao had pointed out with the residual smell. Then, he walked through a few possible routes based on the results of the analysis, but he didn't find anything.
There were still three possible paths left, and Cillin was currently walking along one of them. This path would give him a certain amount of distance from where he had stopped. However, when Cillin reached the intersection point of this distance, the intense feeling of unease grew even stronger.
This is it!
Silin didn't doubt his intuition.
"Wheeze, how many people have stayed in this area before?" Cillin pointed at the area and turned in a circle before asking the gray cat.
"Not many. Only one person stayed close, right there." Huimao walked over and raised his paw to pat the ground.
"That's it. You come over first, don't get too close. "Silin walked over carefully and touched his finger to the cabin wall.
Feeling the information transmitted from his finger, Silin finally knew the reason for the uneasiness.
There was something mysterious about this cabin wall.
There were weak radioactive elements inside, but this level of radioactivity wouldn't make the human body uncomfortable. Moreover, the cabin wall was made of anti-radiation material, so the detector couldn't detect the radioactivity inside at all.
The radioactive materials placed here had obviously been carefully calculated. When the amount of radioactive materials decayed to a certain extent, a box inside the cabin would mutate. The contents of the box would flow out and fuse with the materials that had gone through the decaying process, forming a high-energy bomb.
The power of this bomb could blow up a thick layer of 'skin' on the ground in this area. If it exploded now, the people from the Sixth Division and the Lovag Beasts outside would be injured by the shockwave produced by the bomb. The few that could survive would be heavily injured.
Silin looked at the approximate time of the high-energy bomb's formation. There were still ten minutes left.
Instead of contacting the base from here, Cillin had only activated the communicator when he was outside. If he had activated the communicator directly from inside, Cillin didn't know if there would be other "mysteries" that would cause this high energy bomb to form in advance.
After a brief explanation of the situation here, Shawton immediately drove a large aircraft over personally.
Now that the situation of the mutants on the battlefield had been suppressed, it would be over in thirty minutes. Therefore, Shotton didn't need to supervise the battle. He drove the aircraft over and cooperated with Silin to transport the aircraft out of the planet.
As the aircraft had sunk into the ground, it wasn't easy to 'pull' it out. Therefore, a large area around it was dug up along with rocks and sand.
The commotion here had obviously attracted everyone's attention. However, before the mutants were completely dealt with, they couldn't keep looking at the aircraft. Since Silin and Shotton had done this, it meant that there was something wrong with the aircraft and they had no choice but to throw it out of the planet. Now, what the team members needed to do was to complete the mission of getting injured.
The spaceplane Shawton was piloting extended two large pincers and clamped down on the foreign spaceplane, carefully transporting it out of the planet. After it flew out of the planet, it sped up and threw out a couple of thrusters to attach themselves to the large piece. The thrusters pushed the spaceplane far away while Cillin and Shawton piloted the spaceplane back.
Ten minutes later, the flames of the explosion ignited. As they had been pushed out of the range of the explosion, the planet wasn't affected.
Silin explained the situation to Shotton, but Shotton didn't know much about the "Mist" and "Wushe," so he couldn't tell which side did it.
However, one thing was for sure. This planet was being watched. Whether it was the "Mist" or "Wushe," these two forces were extremely dangerous. The strength of the Sixth Division alone wasn't enough to go against them. Therefore, Shotton reported the situation to the A Team. Not long after, the A Team would send someone over to check on the situation of the stronghold. They would solve the problem together.
By the time Cillin rushed out of the spaceplane, the situation on the battlefield was already very clear. Only a few mutants were still holding on, and they became the targets of the Lovags. The rest of the Sixth B Squadron were watching the show from a distance.
Unlike the previous Lovags, these Lovags didn't directly cut the mutants into pieces. Instead, they bit them and ate them.
"What's going on?" Silin walked over and asked.
Kari raised his chin and pointed at the Lovags who were looking at the last few mutants pitifully. He then turned to the last battlefield. "It seems that the more the mutants split, the more the Lovags don't like them."
It was like a bowl of soup. After drinking a little, water would be added to the original spot, and water would be added again. After a few times, the soup would be diluted, and the taste would definitely not be good.
In the end, the remaining mutants were eaten, and the Lovags would lick the cells that had not split in time.
This time, they were indeed full. The Lovags had grown a lot, and the speed at which they ate them surprised everyone.
After the Lovags returned to their nest, Shotton ordered his men to do a thorough cleaning of the area to kill any potential threats.
Although the matter was resolved, the crisis it brought made Shotton feel uneasy. He only felt better when the A Team arrived.
Silin didn't know the people sent by the A Team, but they were all veterans like Songba Leruo and the others. However, they didn't put on airs in front of Silin. They called Silin over to ask about the situation and didn't ask anything else.
As for what the A Team discussed with Shotton after Silin's departure, Silin didn't know. He wasn't in the mood to know either. Right now, he was busy researching something that might save his life in the near future.
The A Team had left a squad behind to guard the base. They valued this place a lot, so much so that they had sent technicians over to inspect it. They couldn't stop praising the place.
In fact, Silin, Huimao, and Czedow knew that Sigma was the reason this base was as strong as it was today. Sigma had maintained, perfected, and improved the base over the years.
They looked at some of the tree species planted outside the base. They were genetically modified species planted to improve the planet's environment, and now they had taken root and sprouted.
Not far away, a group of little Lovags were running behind Xueqiu. They caught Huimao's ball every time he headed a ball over to them, and they were having a lot of fun. These Lovags weren't hostile towards the people of the Sixth Division just because they had eaten meat. It was because of the chips inside their bodies that they were different from normal beasts.
"What are you looking at, Silin?!" Huimao jumped into the room through the window and climbed onto Silin's shoulder.
Silin scratched Huimao's chin and said, "You guys look like you're having a lot of fun."
Huimao raised his chin for Silin to scratch. Then, he said lazily, "A bunch of brats."
Silin curled his lips. Other than being older, you're about the same as them.
"How's it going? How's your work? "Huimao asked while wagging his tail.
"Not bad, but let me ask you a question, Wheeze. With your abilities, what are your chances of winning against Bart and Songba Leruo? "
Huimao opened his eyes and thought for a moment. "I don't know."
To be honest, the gray cat was well aware of its weaknesses. It was confident that it could beat the duo in a head-on clash, but a battle wasn't just about brute force. Strategy was also a part of it, and Bart and Songba Leruo looked like old foxes who had been through hundreds of battles. The gray cat's brain might be powerful, but it didn't know how to come up with many schemes and schemes. It didn't even know how to panic, and if Cillin could see through it with a single glance, then there was no need to even mention those two foxes.
"You want to fight with them? We can work together. You use your brain, and I'll use my claws. I don't believe I can't beat them, "Huimao said.
Silin shook his head. "They're not my enemies, but I'm stronger than the two of them combined."
Huimao's ears twitched. "I know. You're talking about the people you met in the prison. They were very strong, and they were also very cunning. Oh right, are they really going to attack the base? "
Huimao didn't need to ask the people of the Sixth Division. He could understand things through Sigma. The entire base was Sigma's eyes and ears.
"I think so."
"Don't be afraid. I've discussed it with Sigma, and they're planning to refurbish the base and install a few cannons on the perimeter. We have the materials now anyway, and Eudy even said that he'd like to help us install cannons yesterday."
Seeing that Huimao was getting excited, Silin didn't interrupt. He scratched Huimao's chin and looked into the distance. No one knew what he was thinking.
Two days later, there was another team mission. Two Rank C habitable planets were found to be rich in rare metal ores. The ores were just in time for the construction of new defense facilities.
Silin's team and Zarathasha's team went out to mine. Each team was responsible for monitoring the situation on one planet.
Huimao didn't come with them because he was in the middle of his excitement. Silin left Czedow at the base to supervise them. It was to prevent them from fooling around.
On the starship, Silin listened to Kari, Beaver, and the others discuss the construction of the base's outer defense facilities. He sat in silence.
Unease, still unease.
Silin was never a person who acted unprepared, but this time, he still felt very uneasy.
Tico walked over and stopped in front of Silin. She looked at Silin worriedly.
"What's wrong? Do you need something? "Silin asked.
"It's not me. I just wanted to ask Lieutenant Silin what you need, or should I say, what do you expect to run into?"
Tico pulled a chair over and sat down. She took out the little rabbit from her pocket and passed it to Silin.
The rabbit's ears drooped, and its eyes looked at Silin with obvious worry.
Silin had never seen this rabbit look like this before. There was even a hint of reluctance in its worried eyes.
Silin didn't know why he could see this kind of meaning in the rabbit's eyes, but he felt that it was because of its eyes. The rabbit's mouth couldn't speak, but its eyes could.
"It's been like this ever since we left the base. It always looks at you like this, but it doesn't look like this when it looks at anyone else." Tico stared straight into Cillin's eyes. "What happened? Is there something you're not telling us? "
Silin rubbed his hands on his face.
I can't avoid it. I can't avoid it.
When he saw the rabbit's eyes, he knew what he was going to encounter.
Silin didn't answer Tico's question. He closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the back of the chair.
Five minutes later, Silin opened his eyes and stood up. He patted the rabbit that was looking at him and said to Tico, "It's okay."
Tico didn't take Silin's words seriously. She knew the rabbit in her hand too well. She knew what each look meant. So when she saw the rabbit staring at Silin, she was so shocked that she dropped the knife in her hand.
That look meant that Silin was likely to die this time. Otherwise, the rabbit wouldn't be so reluctant and worried.
Silin went to look for Eudy. Dias wasn't around, so he explained some of his plans to Eudy. After all, in the entire Sixth Division, only Eudy had the most authority and was able to analyze problems calmly.
When the time was right, it was best to be decisive.
By now, their starship was quite far away from the base planet and was about to land on the metal-rich planet. However, Silin didn't give the order to land. Instead, he ordered the weapons to be ready. The members of the control room were in position to check on the energy supply and defense system.
Kari opened his mouth but was forced back by a look from Eudy. Right now, Kari was depressed and confused. He felt like his heart was being scratched by Huimao's claws, but he couldn't ask.
"Ready?" Silin looked at Eudy.
Eudy nodded. "I'm ready."
"Good, begin!"
As soon as Silin's voice fell, Eudy issued a series of orders.
The starship that was originally flying towards the metal-rich planet suddenly turned around, activated its protective shield, and flew away.
Kari couldn't hold it in anymore and glared at Eudy. Right now, the protective shield was activated to the maximum. How many energy blocks had been wasted? Furthermore, they had used those special energy blocks. At this point, there wasn't even an explanation?!
Before Kari, who was about to open his mouth to ask, could say anything, the starship suddenly shook.
"We've been attacked!"
Through the image on the screen, everyone could see that the starship behind them was gradually revealing its true appearance.
There was actually a starship lying in ambush there!
What was even more surprising was that the detectors and scanners on their starship didn't notice anything at all!
The cannons on the starship behind them were all aimed at Silin's starship. If it weren't for the protective shield, the starship would probably be half-paralyzed by now. At the very least, it wouldn't be able to escape at such a speed.
"Who are they?!" Kari asked.
"I want to know too." Silin looked at the starship chasing after them and left the control room.
