Chapter 6, Underground Base
I got into the car that Zhang Yingxian drove and walked through the high-rise buildings in Huahai City. After a while, the car drove away from the city and headed towards the beach. The smelly sea breeze blew again, making Zhen Cheng's nose very uncomfortable. It has been three years since he arrived in Huahai City. He still doesn't like the smell of the sea. He always recalls the smell of his hometown. Shuangqing City is also known as the mountain city. What you can smell there is the fragrance of the mountains and forests...
The car drove along the seaside highway. An hour later, he came to a remote small fishing village. Looking around, there was no tall building in the fishing village, only dozens of low bungalows, and occasionally there was a two-story house. It looked like it was built by the rich fishermen in the village. There were fishing nets hanging on the open space in the village, and there were rows of racks. Many dried fish were hung on the racks, making the village full of fishy smell.
Zhen Cheng looked around the environment and whispered: "A good village, no one would have thought there would be a base for resisting organizations here."
Zhang Yingxian nodded: "I felt the same when I first came."
She walked to a dilapidated bungalow in the village. An old woman with dizzy eyes was sitting in the house, making handicrafts with shells. She glanced at Zhang Yingxian and Zhen Cheng with her muddy eyes, but said nothing, just fiddling with the shells on her hands. Zhang Yingxian seemed to have not seen her, walked to the corner of the house and gently pressed the wall. Then, a hole was silently cracked on the ground, and an elevator that was very disproportionate to the dilapidated bungalow rose from the ground.
Zhen Cheng and Zhang Yingxian walked into the elevator.
The elevator door closed and began to sink. It took a long time, but the elevator did not stop, as if it had sunk straight into the deep center of the earth. It was not until a long time later that it finally stopped. When the door opened, Zhen Cheng saw through the elevator door and was immediately startled by the shadow in front of him. What caught his eye was a wide underground platform, where three mecha warriors stood neatly side by side on the platform!
The one in the lead is the NL335, Air-Tooth! It is 9 meters tall and weighs 56 tons. It is a dual-purpose deformed mecha warrior. It can become a human-shaped and fighter type. When it is a human-shaped, it runs with two feet, and can reach a speed of 250 kilometers per hour. It can use cannons, beam cannons, long swords and other weapons. When it is a fighter, it can fly with a jet engine, with a maximum speed of 4,000 kilometers per hour, and uses air cannons, missiles and other weapons. Moreover, "Air-Tooth" can enter space for cosmic warfare, but the performance of cosmic warfare is relatively weak.
"Hung Tooth" is the main mecha warrior of the Air Force in the Earth Federation. Instructor Scar once drove "Hung Tooth" and crashed twenty-two enemy planes in the defense battle at the Mars base, so it was named "Martian Berserker".
Originally, Zhen Cheng could also get a dedicated air tooth, if he could enter the Expedition service...
Looking at this generation of famous machines, Zhen Cheng's breathing became slightly rapid.
Zhang Yingxian knew his past, and of course he knew what he was thinking now. She gently pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Senior, the past is...no need to be remembered. What we have to do is to create the future."
Zhen Cheng took a deep breath, suppressed his chaotic emotions, nodded heavily, and looked at the other two bodies, but couldn't help but sigh, NL320, Earth Tiger! It was actually Earth Tiger, and two bodies he was extremely familiar with, one was painted silver white and the other was painted sky blue. These were the two Earth Tigers driven by Luna and Zhen Cheng respectively during the Shuangqing Military Academy graduation exam.
"Why are they here?" Zhen Cheng frowned.
Zhang Yingxian said: "The Expedition fell, destroying Shuangqing Military Academy, and at the same time, destroying all the school's information, allowing the students to escape the investigation by the pseudo-government. Similarly, the remaining mecha warriors in the military academy also escaped the investigation... A group of students from our intelligence department found these two bodies from the ruins, repaired them, and brought them into the organization as weapons to resist aliens..."
Zhen Cheng sighed: "The intelligence department is so powerful, I didn't expect this at that time."
Zhang Yingxian said: "You are a student in the driving department, so you just need to consider how to kill the enemy bravely. It is natural for our intelligence department to deal with such things as dog skin.
Zhen Cheng said: "It's a pity that there are too few. Only these three bodies can do very limited things."
"Of course there are more than these three units." Zhang Yingxian said seriously: "But you have not officially joined Dawn yet. Even if you join, you can only be on the periphery of the organization in a short period of time. There are not many things you can see... Well, don't be angry. In fact, I don't have a high status in the organization, and there are very few things you can know..."
Zhen Cheng nodded: "I understand, for the sake of organizational safety, it is best not to know too much about every member, so as not to be forced to ask too much information by the enemy when he was arrested in a mistake." His eyes lingered on the Silver Earth Tiger, which was Luna's special training machine. The body was here, but where was her?
Last year, today, the peach blossoms in this door were red in the faces of people, and the peach blossoms were still smiling in the spring breeze.
Zhen Cheng's thinking began to drift away. She is living well now? Are she healthy? Do you have a boyfriend? If...If that didn't happen that day three years ago, she and I might...
"Senior? What's wrong?"
"Hmm? It's okay..."
Zhang Yingxian took Zhen Cheng through the shutdown platform. On the platform, there was a group of soldiers in dirty clothes in preparation squads, busying with something next to "Empty Teeth" and "Di Tiger", as if they were performing body maintenance. Zhang Yingxian did not say hello to them, and they ignored Zhang Yingxian and Zhen Cheng.
The two soon arrived in front of a small office, where a middle-aged man with a rigid face was sitting inside, wearing an old military uniform from the Earth Federation. Judging from the epaulette, his rank was Lieutenant General. Since the Demon Stars occupied the earth, the newly established pseudo-government has changed the style of military uniforms. Such men wearing old military uniforms three years ago seemed to be using this outfit to tell others: I have not surrendered yet.
Zhang Yingxian walked to the middle-aged man and whispered: "Lieutenant General, my sister is dead."
"Oh!" The expression on the middle-aged man's face did not change at all, but a trace of pain flashed slightly in his eyes: "We have lost another precious companion. She sacrificed for the future of mankind. You don't have to be sad for her... Well, even if I say this, it should be useless. The grief of losing a close relative does not need to be endured. If you want to be sad, just go and be sad while you are still alive."
Zhang Yingxian handed over the memory card: "This is what my sister exchanged for her life."
The middle-aged man took the memory card with both hands: "I will deal with it well... Well, then, who is this man?"
Zhang Yingxian introduced Zhen Cheng's ins and outs at a rapid speed, and then said: "He hopes to join our organization! And I think he can be trusted, and the organization also needs his powerful driving skills, so he took him back with his proposition."
There was still no expression on the middle-aged man's face. Even if he heard the introduction of "The Ace Driver of Shuangqing Military Academy", he could not move him a little. He just politely stretched out his hand and shook with Zhen Cheng: "Since you were introduced by Comrade Zhang Yingxian, of course you are welcome. In the future, let us fight together to liberate all mankind and drive away alien colonists."
The words were polite and friendly, but there was no "welcome" expression on his face, which always made people feel strange.
Zhang Yingxian whispered: "Don't be surprised. In a battle a few years ago, the lieutenant general was burned all over and underwent a large-scale dermal surgery, which hurt his facial nerves. Later, he could no longer express any expression... So, he got a nickname in the army, called "Facialless Man".
Disability is very common in the army. Zhen Cheng nodded and said he knew: "What should I do after joining the organization?"
The faceless man said: "Although I can understand the mood you want to do something, we have no combat missions recently, so... As a member of the combat type, you have nothing to do in a short period of time... I heard that your job is to be a cashier in Fengmo Supermarket in the concession, and the supermarket is very close to Purgatory. I think you should not give up this job. You should continue to work like an ordinary person. Maybe one day, your special identity can bring great convenience to the organization."
Zhen Cheng nodded. He understood this principle. It is not easy for ordinary people on earth to enter and exit the concession. Take Zhang Yingxian’s sister for example. In order to get into the concession, she took a huge risk to use the “red contact lenses” and must have forged an identity. I don’t know how troublesome it is... and she can easily enter and exit the concession with the identity of a supermarket cashier. With this, the job should continue.
The faceless person continued: "Disguise yourself and don't be discovered by the enemy. When we have a combat mission, we will send a liaison officer from the intelligence department to notify you... it is Zhang Yingxian... She will be responsible for your contact matters in the future."
Zhang Yingxian pulled up Zhen Cheng's sleeves: "Let's go!"
Zhen Cheng nodded. Before leaving the room, he saw the faceless person inserting the memory card into his watch and tapped it with his fingers on the surface. There was still no expression on his face, but a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Comrade Zhen Cheng, maybe there will be a combat mission in a few days. Please be prepared."
Zhen Cheng did not ask what was in the card or what the task was. He was very self-aware. A low-level member who had just joined the organization was like a new recruit who had just joined the army. It was impossible for him to gain trust at all, and even if he asked a question, he would not get answers.
However, the information about combat missions still made his passion boil slightly...
The dead heart three years ago is slowly recovering.
