Chapter 236 The Deep-Sea Chamber in the Biological Resource Bank
This is your treasure trove for discovering the best science fiction novels.
The entire team proceeded along the dark tunnel, with two hound transport platforms at the rear of the team placing a communication repeater every 20 meters to ensure that the team could always maintain uninterrupted communication with the outside world.
The entire team traveled in the darkness for fifteen minutes before finally spotting a faint light at the bend ahead.
Lorraine glanced at the altimeter inside the power armor; they had been spiraling down for quite some time, and their altitude had dropped from 118 meters to 97 meters.
Subsequently, the lead reconnaissance team sent a message that they had discovered the explosion-proof steel door located under the fluorescent lights in the passageway.
After using Platinum's identification code to open the blast-proof steel door, the entire team went on high alert and activated the external weapon systems on the outside of the left arm and the folding robotic arm on the back.
Lorraine unfolded the small octagonal shield hanging on her left arm, transforming it into a large shield that could cover half of her body.
After the explosion-proof steel door was opened, a long staircase appeared in front of the reconnaissance team. After laser ranging, it was learned that the staircase was 15 meters long.
The reconnaissance team's sentry robot took the lead, relying on the cushioning effect of its wheel-leg structure to rush straight to the bottom of the stairs.
Immediately afterwards, a 3-meter by 3-meter explosion-proof steel door slowly opened to both sides under the action of the hydraulic system, revealing a bright metal passage behind it.
Shortly after, Lorraine and Platinum arrived in the passageway under the escort of the mechanical dog squad. Lorraine then used his advanced privileges to allow Cleveland to access the large biological resource repository.
Just as Cleveland was reading the data from the database, a woman wearing a dark blue Air Force training uniform, standard for the Great Yan Army, appeared in front of the reconnaissance team.
The woman was rubbing her eyes as she walked through the passage when she felt a breeze coming from the gate. When she turned around, she saw 10 fully armed humanoid robots.
"Wow!"
After a scream, she could see the low-visibility markings on the shields of the two humanoid robots at the very front.
"call!"
She then stood up straight and saluted the robots.
"Former Da Yan Air Force, 8th Air Brigade, fighter pilot: Xu Ling."
At the same time, the female pilot's information was also transmitted by Lorraine to Hongfeng Island, 800 kilometers away, to verify the authenticity of her identity information with Yao Guang, who was stationed there.
One minute later, Yao Guang's message came back, confirming the female pilot's identity.
After quickly glancing at her identification information, Platinum waved for the robots in front of her to disperse, then removed her helmet, walked up to the pilot, and returned a standard military salute.
"Member of the 179th Special Operations Laboratory of the Great Yan Army Special Forces, Sharp Blade Brigade, currently affiliated with Red Peak Island, Pivot Squad Leader: Bai Jin."
To further demonstrate his identity, Platinum also retrieved his identification from the armor's storage compartment.
Xu Ling lowered her arm, moved closer to Bai Jin, and carefully examined the identity information displayed on the document.
After confirming that the squad in front of him was an allied force, Xu Ling finally breathed a long sigh of relief, relaxing his tense nerves, and the bristles on both sides of his head gradually relaxed.
Platinum carefully examined the gray-haired pilot before asking a question.
"Why are you in this biological resource conservation center? Did you find employment here after leaving the military?"
The female pilot didn't seem to think much of it and answered Platinum's question.
"Yes, at that time, because my elderly family members were unwell and there was no one to take care of them, I had to apply for a career change and work in this semi-secret organization."
However, according to information recorded by Yao Guang, the pilot lost contact with the Red Peak Island base 24 hours and 18 minutes after the apocalypse began, and is suspected to have crashed near the city of Kauna.
Lorraine activated the optical cloaking system and, hiding behind the robot, stopped Platinum's questioning in time, allowing her to continue speaking along the lines of Xu Ling.
After seeing Bai Jin nod slightly, Xu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then perked up to ask Bai Jin and the others why they had come here.
"I'm on a mission at the Red Peak Island base, here to collect some biological resources."
Although Bai Jin's answer was very vague, it did fit Xu Ling's impression of the special forces' tone.
However, looking at the familiar Sentinel robot and Hound Multi-Purpose Combat Platform in front of her, she couldn't help but ask.
"Captain Platinum, has Red Peak Island resumed operations?!"
Hearing her slightly trembling voice, Platinum nodded without hesitation.
"That's good, that's good."
Xu Ling muttered a few words to herself, then looked up and smiled at Bai Jin, who was slightly taller than her.
"What biological resources do you need? I'll take you to find them."
Then, Platinum repeated the words in Lorraine's voice.
Then, Platinum repeated the words in Lorraine's voice.
"Pork, sheep; soybeans, yellow soybeans..."
After listening to Bai Jin recite a series of names, Xu Ling nodded, took out the tablet beside him, and spoke.
"Then come with me. The closest pig to this entrance is the Landrace pig. This type of pig originated in Northern Europe. It has a long body, a high lean meat ratio, and is extremely adaptable, making it particularly suitable for widespread breeding."
As Xu Ling led the way at the front of the group, she explained things to Bai Jin.
After Xu Ling had left the area, Luo Lin quietly left the entrance and walked along the passage where Xu Ling had just appeared.
As he moved forward, he threw down more than a dozen gray spherical robots, each 10 centimeters in diameter.
After a thorough search, Lorraine quickly found a place where Xu Ling was suspected to have appeared.
What followed was a tense and exciting battle for control of the data space. The outermost layer of users was Platinum, while Lorraine's account was responsible for making deeper connections.
To speed up the search in Cleveland, Lorraine connected a newly manufactured portable high-performance computer to the intranet using a data slingshot.
Cleveland, having bypassed the outermost firewall, quickly found the space hidden beneath the blueprints.
The room also has the words "Deep Dive Project" written on it in large characters.
"Hmm, found it, just as I guessed."
Next, Lorraine, guided by Cleveland, found the hidden space beneath the office area of the supplies storage warehouse.
Standing beside the passage leading to the hidden space, Lorraine took out her name tag and affixed it to the identification area.
"Beep, verification successful. Welcome, Comrade Lorraine, member of the Spark Project and heir."
Then, a hidden door opened from behind Lorraine, revealing a passageway that glowed with a pale blue light.
Following the stairs down, Lorraine soon arrived at an open blast-proof steel door. He pushed it open and entered the hidden space.
