Chapter 786 Infiltrating the Base

In the evening, it began to rain. Bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, mixed with dust and turned into muddy water, which flowed down the city's drains to the underground waterway. The rain was not heavy, but it was continuous, so the muddy water poured into the underground waterway from the drain outlet formed just a few waterlines, which troubled some residents in the underground waterway. Like the one in front of me that walks upright, but is covered in black hair and swings a short, thin and long tail of humanoid life. The muddy water will wet its hair and make them tangle up, which will have a great impact on its movements.

This is an underground creature called the Ratman by the Federation.

Ratmen actually don't look like rats, but because they have very similar habits to rats, they are officially named that way. Ratmen have low intelligence, tend to be dark and afraid of light, and like to hide in dark places. They have a wide diet and will eat just about anything. In the past, there were even rumors that people from Rat>Pig>Pig>Island stole a newborn baby. Therefore, no matter whether it is a human being or a native of the planet, they all hate creatures like Ratman.

There were no ratmen in Gaoshan City before, but as the city was abandoned, the intricate underground waterways here attracted a group of ratmen as their lairs. The Federation has already discovered this, but the negotiations with the Hurma people have not yet come to an end, and there is no time to pay attention to these creatures for the time being.

This ratman, half as tall as a man, fished in the ditch. If he was lucky, he could sometimes pick up some animal carcasses. At this time, a small red dot moved on its body, and finally stopped on its head. The Rat Man raised his head slowly, and suddenly his entire head exploded like a smashed watermelon. Bones and blood sprayed all over the floor, leaving only the corpse below the mouth slowly falling down.

"Erase. It's really disgusting. Do we have to go this way?" Adele put down the sniper rifle, which was wearing a muffler. She complained with a headset.

Alan's voice sounded in the headset: "There is still less than a kilometer to go, Adele, just bear with it."

Adele snorted, "You'll have to pay me twice," before picking up the gun and heading to the next turning point. Behind her, two members of the Black Knights followed her, tasked with protecting the snipers in the ranks.

Walking in the underground waterway is definitely not a pleasant thing. The team is still walking on the stone roads on both sides of the waterway, and from time to time they will bump into one or two rash-headed ratmen. In order not to arouse the vigilance of the Hurma people, everyone's guns have been equipped with mufflers. And even if you kill them at close range, you must hit them with one blow, lest the Ratman make a strange noise and alarm the red ghosts on the ground.

Now they had crossed the long buffer street and officially entered the street occupied by the Hulma. According to the infiltration route map provided by Lieutenant Colonel Xiao, they entered the underground passage from a corner of the street in the control area. According to the route map, they would eventually reach a transfer platform of the base, and then cut into the base through there. After that, it depends on Alan and his performance.

Now the federal negotiators are buying time for them,

Lieutenant Colonel Xiao has already surrounded the base with troops, and once the negotiations break down, he can only resort to force. If the three Federation engineers could not be rescued before then, even if the Hurma were eventually expelled, the Federation would suffer heavy losses.

Allen has already kept the road map in his mind, leading the team all the way forward without stopping at all. During this period, Adele fired two more shots, and the ratmen she locked were all the result of blown heads. When the team stopped, an alloy gate lay before everyone's eyes. An electronic lock next to the gate was covered with a large amount of dust. Allen reached out to wipe it off, and the LCD screen under the dust was still flickering, obviously still working.

He entered a set of passwords on the electronic keyboard on the screen, and the alloy door shook slightly, then retracted a little, and then retreated to the side, and the door opened. The doorway was dimly lit, but it was not difficult to see that it was a stairwell. A row of red lights on the wall of the well flickered at a specific frequency. Allen looked up and saw a few patches of white light in the darkness above.

"Let's start to act." Allen said, and as soon as his voice fell, Reese went into the stairwell first. Two boys with quick eyes followed behind him. According to Allen's previous arrangement, Reese and them will be responsible for reconnaissance and determining the route forward. Luma and Christine followed closely behind their leader, responsible for support and protection. Then there are Adele and the two black knights. The hostages taken by the Hurma have been confirmed to be locked in the underground garage of the base, where the environment is open. If a sniper like Adele is deployed. When necessary, can play a huge role.

Then into the stairwell is Allen himself and others, who are the backbone and will be responsible for the hardest part. As for the Bobcats, they stayed in the stairwell, and each of them took out a row of time bombs from their rucksacks. These bombs will be installed behind the stairwells and doors, and will be the best gift if the Hulma pursuers come when the team withdraws.

Just because of the narrow space in the stairwell, Hubble also stayed behind to act as a backstop. Looking at this big man with his head in the helmet, no one objected to Allen's approach. Except for Hubble himself, he couldn't help installing the bomb anyway. After Allen walked, the big man simply found a corner and sat down, holding the beheading knife and dozing off.

After going out from the stairwell, it is usually a transit platform as planned. It is located near the material warehouse of the base, but when the foreign race invaded, the warehouse had been emptied in advance when the base withdrew. Now there is nothing valuable left here, so after occupying the base, the Hurma did not deliberately strengthen the guard of this place. This made it easier for Alan and the others, who had already left the transfer platform in advance, killed a few lax guards along the way, and arrived at the underground garage adjacent to the warehouse area without any danger.

After a corner, Reese unloaded the rucksack and took out a suitcase from it. Open the suitcase, and there are six scouting robots in two rows. Their appearance was disguised as common insects. After Reese threw them out, these robotic insects entered the underground garage through the air vent and other gaps.

At the same time, Reese took out the tablet smart brain, and connected the images detected by the robot insects to the smart brain in Alan's hand in real time. So Allen, who was on the transfer platform, quickly received the picture from Reese.

The screen has been divided into six frames, and each frame represents the scene seen by a robotic insect. Under Reese's control, the six robot bugs came to several corners of the garage respectively, thus forming a reconnaissance network with no dead ends. It is not difficult to see from the picture on the screen that several scrapped flying cars have been sealed by the Hurma people. The two entrances of the garage have several elevator entrances, and only one of the doors is left as a passage for entry and exit.

"It seems that they are not stupid." Allen said.

Many entrances and exits were blocked, leaving only one of them, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the Federation's rescue. Under such circumstances, there are only two ways to implement rescue. One violently demolished the roof, and the other forcibly attacked from the only entrance. And no matter which one is the best way, this can be seen from the arrangement made by the Hurma people.

In the picture, the underground garage was cleared out of a spacious space in the middle, where hundreds of federal hostages were detained. A team of red-skinned Hurma fighters guarded the hostages, and at the gate, they used obstacles such as cargo boxes and flying cars to form a line of defense. A rapid-fire cannon was set up on one of the scrapped flying cars. The ammunition chain inserted into the gun and the several ammunition boxes next to it indicate that it is not a decoration. These things were snatched from the federal army, and the natives of these planets obviously learned to use firearms during the battle with the federation.

The rapid-fire machine gun was facing the gate, and its firepower could completely cover the gate area, posing a strong threat to the aid workers who were attacking head-on.

While observing the opponent's deployment of troops, Allen said, "Race, find those three engineers."

"Leave it to me, start the Facebook analysis system, and start the data comparison." Reese said in the headset: "Boss, these robot insects are really easy to use. Tell me if there is such a treasure in the exchange list, I plan to exchange Use a few for yourself."

"I remember when Lieutenant Colonel Xiao handed them over to me, he told him to hand them back immediately after they were used up. They are so powerful, I don't think they can be exchanged easily?" Allen frowned suddenly, "Huh?" With a sound.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked from behind.

Allen pointed towards one of the screens: "I found that the opponent is sitting on the strongman, and the energy level detected by the robot is 23. But this is just a regular energy level. If it is in a combat state, it will probably be one or two higher. .”

In the picture, several cargo boxes are piled up behind the hostages. There were only two people sitting on it, and almost all the other Huerma fighters were standing, but these two were the only ones sitting, obviously their status was higher than other fighters. These two people are a man and a woman. The man sits in the middle of the high place, and he is also the one that Alan cares more about. This male Hurma has reddish-black skin and a very tall and strong figure. The naked upper body is painted with some totem-like things with gray paint. The Hurma look very similar to humans, but there are some differences.

Like this man, a black horn protrudes from the middle of his forehead, and a row of pitch-black teeth grows on the outside of his two arms. The most obvious thing is that he is wrapped in a sarong from the waist down, but a lizard-like tail sticks out from behind the skirt.

Black and long tail are common symbols of Hurma people. And the man sitting on the cargo box has at least level 25 strength. Looking at his well-defined muscles, Allen sighed: "This should be Hubble's favorite opponent, but unfortunately, that big guy can't climb up."

Hubble, who was dozing off, sneezed in his helmet. The big man raised his head and looked around. After finding nothing unusual, he lowered his head again.
