Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 69 Infiltrating the Rock Fortress
Half a day later, the group arrived at the outskirts of the rock castle.

"The rock castle is ahead, NO.11 will stay outside to meet you, and I will take you in." After getting off the hoverbike, No. [-] said again, "Although I obey your command, before reaching the cell where the hostages are held, I hope you will do as I say."

Yang Yi first nodded in agreement, and Lin Feng and Jackson also agreed.

"Let's go, the next step is to rely on two legs."

No. [-] led the way, Yang Yi and Lin Feng followed closely behind, and Jackson wisely stayed at the end.

Although we have already reached the outskirts of the rock castle, it is still very far away from the center of the rock castle, and in order to avoid the fallen enemies, the first choice is all very hidden underground pipes, and some places are still very narrow, so we have to climb through with hands and feet .Fortunately, there were no enemy guards on this route.

Hours later, Number One stopped for the first time.

Among the four, only number one did not have a power converter and was not a warrior, so he was the most tired.

"We are already under the rock fortress. The temperature inside is above [-] degrees Celsius, and even as high as [-] degrees Celsius in places where the enemy gathers. We need to wear protective clothing."

"We can make an energy barrier," Jackson said.

No. [-] shook his head and said: "Although most of the enemies are stupid, some silicon beasts raised by the enemy are extremely sensitive to the original energy. If there are fluctuations in the original energy, they will be noticed by these silicon beasts and thus discovered by the enemy. Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not use the energy barrier."

Jackson nodded and said nothing more.

"Wait, follow closely, don't fall behind. The passage ahead is very narrow, and I can't take care of everyone."

After some warnings, No. [-] took out the protective clothing he brought.Yang Yi and others did the same, put on protective clothing, and followed No. [-] into the passage ahead.

The four of them are all wearing A-level protective clothing, which can withstand a high temperature of [-] degrees Celsius and has strong bulletproof performance.

The passage was pitch black and extremely narrow.

Instead of using the helmet-mounted lights, Number One activated the helmet's night vision function.His forward speed was not very fast, obviously he was taking care of Yang Yi and others behind him.

After walking a few hundred meters, the four of them had to climb down and crawl on all fours.

Soon, Yang Yi understood why Gong Baixu suspected the motives of those war kings.

The temperature in the tunnel has risen to nearly 1000 degrees Celsius, and Yan Zhanlong and Gong Baixu must have no protective clothing when they escaped from the rock castle [-] years ago, and they could only use energy barriers to isolate the high temperature outside.If there were silicon beasts in the rock castle that were extremely sensitive to primordial energy, it would not be a problem to find Yan Zhanlong and Gong Baixu, and it would not be difficult to kill the two humans crawling in the underground passage.

Yan Zhanlong and Gong Baixu were able to escape from the rock castle, obviously Zhan Wang let them go on purpose.

Fortunately, the crawling distance is not too long.

About half an hour later, No. [-] stopped and beckoned Yang Yi and the others to crawl over.

In front is the exit of the passage, and outside is a ridiculously large cavern, which is so red that even the walls of the cavern are burnt red, indicating that the temperature inside must be above [-] degrees Celsius, maybe close to [-] degrees Celsius.Because of the high pressure, the rock didn't melt.

"What is this place?" Jackson asked in a low voice.

"canteen."

Jackson was taken aback for a moment, and Yang Yi and Lin Feng also showed surprise expressions.

After a closer look, the three of them understood.There are hundreds of long stone tables and many stone benches in the cave, and they are neatly arranged.

"According to our investigation, there are at least [-] enemies in the rock castle, and about [-] silicon beasts are also raised. Silicon-based life also needs to eat. This is the enemy's soldier canteen." On the [-]st, the cave in the direction of three o'clock Bottom pointing a bit. "Did you see that hole? Going down from there is the food warehouse. Although the diet structure of silicon-based life is different from ours, it can only preserve food for a long time in a low temperature environment."

"You mean..."

"The temperature on the bottom floor of the food warehouse is around [-] degrees Celsius. According to the information collected by the detectors, the seven people captured by the enemy are held there."

"Come on, let's go down." Jackson became anxious all at once.

"Don't panic, wait a little longer."

Although very anxious, Jackson knew the rules and got down on the ground obediently.

"It's evening now, and in a while, the enemy soldiers will come for dinner."

When Number One said this, a group of soldiers came out from the passage below, some of them still roaring loudly.Although they couldn't understand what they were saying, it could be seen that these soldiers were starving and had a bad temper, as if they were going to swallow people alive.

"How long will it take?" Yang Yi asked for Jackson.

"An hour, at most an hour and a half. Keep it hidden and try not to make any noise."

As the soldiers sat down, a group of silicon-based life forms that looked like cooking soldiers appeared one after another, and put cauldrons full of food on the table.

At this time, more soldiers arrived.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Yi observed carefully.

Enemies are mainly divided into three categories. One is the "Iron Armored Fighter" who is more than five meters tall and weighs about [-] tons. The second is about four meters tall and weighs close to five tons. The "rock spear" looks like a stone pillar with hands and feet; the third is the "humanoid rock demon" who is less than three meters tall, weighs less than a ton, and has a body structure similar to that of a human being. .

These three arms are the most common in the Silicon Charm Alliance.

"Iron Armored Warrior" is famous for its strength, coupled with its astonishing defensive power, it is often the main force in offensive and defensive battles. The skin made of solidified magma contains some trace elements, and its protective effect is no less than that of special alloys.The body of an adult armored warrior can block large-caliber armor-piercing bullets, and a line of defense composed of a team of armored warriors is enough to block the impact of heavy tanks.In the past few Greenwich Wars, it was not uncommon for armored battles to defeat heavy tanks.With the cooperation of other arms, the defense line of Armored Berserker is almost indestructible.In addition, in the fortified battle, the Iron Armored Berserker is also extremely difficult to deal with, it is simply a giant trebuchet that can move at will.

The "Rock Spear and Stone Spear" is a throwing unit, which mainly uses stone spears to kill and injure the enemy, and its destructive power is extremely astonishing.Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even heavy tanks may not be able to block the stone spears fired by them.If confronted with a horde of rock spears, the only option is to flee.In the offensive and defensive battle of the lighthouse star thousands of years ago, there was a case where the officers and soldiers of a legion were touched by the entire army under the intensive attack of rock spears and stone guns.

The combat power of the "humanoid rock demons" is not very strong. Even if they are known for their flexibility, they are not as good as human fighters. Their only advantage is their large numbers, just like locusts and man-eating ants.On the battlefield, humanoid rock demons are often dispatched in units of legions. In some large battles, it is not uncommon for the Silicon Magic Alliance to dispatch hundreds of thousands, or even millions of humanoid rock demons at a time.Relying on their numerical superiority, the humanoid rock devils are destructive.

Those who come here are all soldiers, there are no generals or war kings.

The Silicon Charm Alliance has a large number of people, and the arms are divided according to the species.Although each branch has advantages and disadvantages, generals are not divided by species.To put it simply, as long as the combat power is strong enough, even a humanoid rock demon can become a warrior.Without strong combat power, even an armored warrior is just a warrior.

Of course, due to the influence of the population's own abilities, the probability of Ironclad Berserker becoming a warrior is much higher than that of humanoid rock demons.

"What are they eating?"

"magma."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, there were indeed some hot liquid food in those big pots.

"It's not ordinary magma. It has been processed to remove impurities, add some necessary trace elements, and some condiments."

"Silicon-based life has a sense of taste?"

No. [-] nodded, and said in a low voice: "Not only does it have a sense of taste, but also the necessary trace elements are similar to ours."

Yang Yi was taken aback again, but didn't say much.

Although he had never witnessed it with his own eyes, Yang Yi had long heard that the enemies of the Silicon-based Alliance would eat prisoners of war as snacks, especially human prisoners of war.When he was young, Yang Yi thought it was used to scare children.Now it seems that the rumors are not false, because the human body contains trace elements necessary for silicon-based life.

There are more and more enemies in the cafeteria, but they are all ordinary soldiers.

Obviously, the army of the Silicon-based Alliance is also highly hierarchical. Soldiers can only eat in the soldiers' canteen, while officers such as generals must eat in the officer's canteen.

After a while, the first batch of soldiers finished their dinner.

At this time, Yang Yi noticed that no matter how the soldiers yelled, the cooking soldiers in charge of distributing the food did not give them more food.

Rationing?

Yang Yi didn't ask No. [-], thinking that this judgment could not be wrong.

Because resources are limited, consumption can only be reduced through rationing.Even the enemy cannot get enough food.

Although many soldiers didn't have enough to eat, especially the burly armored warrior, none of the soldiers dared to stand up and make trouble except for yelling and complaining.

As the soldiers left after dinner one after another, the cafeteria gradually became quiet.

"Are you ready?" Number One reminded the three in a low voice. "The protective clothing has a camouflage function and slips down against the wall. The vision of silicon-based life is different from ours. It can only see light in the infrared band. But the hearing is very keen, so try not to make any noise."

After the three activated the infrared stealth function of the protective clothing, No. [-] climbed up first.

In the cafeteria, the cooking soldiers who were responsible for distributing food gathered in several waves, and now it was their meal time.Yang Yi noticed that the food received by the cooking soldiers was much more than what was distributed to other soldiers before, not only the portion, but at least it looked more delicious.

It seems that silicon-based life also has selfish motives.

"Be careful, don't be distracted!"

After being reminded by No. [-], Yang Yi didn't look around anymore.Although hundreds of cooking soldiers were enjoying the food, they did not become deaf.

One is not moving fast, and there is no need to rush.

After more than ten minutes, a group of people crawled near the passage leading to the food warehouse.No. [-] stopped, and after confirming that Yang Yi and the others were following up, they got into the passage.

Jackson was very anxious and rushed in ahead of Yang Yi.

Yang Yi was very speechless, but he didn't say much. After all, Jackson's subordinates were locked up below, and Justin was still Jackson's woman.
