Puppeteer [Interstellar]

When A Xiao returned to the base with Golemska earlier, he informed the leader that a large number of Zergs had landed on the ground.

In the past few days, the personnel in the base have been busy, all preparing for the battle against the Zerg. They have installed noise reduction devices in every corner of the base. All personnel must put noise reduction cotton on the soles of their shoes. People are equipped with props such as gloves and noise masks.

At the same time, Aban also issued various prohibitions, such as prohibiting talking during working hours, and not exceeding a certain number of decibels when speaking in leisure time... These and other silencing measures.At the same time, there is an order that irrelevant personnel are not allowed to leave the base without authorization, which is tantamount to a complete blockade of the entire base. During the blockade, only the reconnaissance team can go out.

Also because of the bans issued one after another, the entire base was suddenly silent, so quiet that a needle could be heard.

At this stage, the only reconnaissance team that can enter and exit the base is mainly to scout the movements of the Zerg, as well as the news of when the Alliance Army will land on Earth. Of course, it also takes into account the news from the rescue team that rescued Alice.

The role of the reconnaissance team is great, but the danger is also very high. In order to detect the movement of the Zerg, they must observe those ugly big bugs at the shortest distance they can get close to. The risks brought by this behavior are extremely severe Yes, if you are a little careless, if you make a mistake in one step, you will lose the whole game, and you can die at any time.

So, for the people in the leftover army base, this so-called "reconnaissance team" is actually no different from the death squad. After going out once, the chance of being able to come back is [-]-[-]. There are many people who are unwilling to do the work of the reconnaissance team, but even if they are unwilling, this task cannot be done without someone.

A Xiao is also a veteran of the reconnaissance team. He has escaped under the eyes of the Zerg in the early years. He is very skilled in reconnaissance work, and he is also very lucky. He can escape from death every time, although some people in the base maliciously speculate , Said that he survived by betraying his teammates.

A Xiao himself doesn't seem to care about the gossip, but occasionally from his behavior, he can also reveal that he actually cares, because these days he has started to pay attention to the news of the investigation team very frequently, and then One day, he ran out with the reconnaissance team.

It’s just that A Xiao’s behavior of running out with the reconnaissance team was voluntary, and he acted privately. He didn’t tell anyone, and he didn’t report to his superiors. The team set off that night and lost contact the next morning.

What is even more astonishing is that the investigation work that A Xiao replaced without authorization originally belonged to Gabriel.

After hearing the news, several of A Xiao's familiar team members were immediately dissatisfied!He started to make trouble for Gabriel, and even brought the matter directly to the leader Aban.

A Xiao's team members thought that Gabriel used some means to force A Xiao to join the reconnaissance team instead of him, but Gabriel said foolishly: "He took my reconnaissance equipment and insisted on replacing me. any idea."

"You are talking nonsense!" Ah Xiao's team members shouted, "Everyone knows that you like to trouble our captain the most, and you almost fought with us in the restaurant a few days ago, how could the captain join the reconnaissance team instead of someone like you? It is clear that you are cheating!"

Then, in order to prove that Gabriel and A Xiao did have a dispute in the restaurant a few days ago, A Xiao's team members even called Lyle over, because Lyle was also provoked by Gabriel at that time, and they wanted Lyle to come face to face confrontation.

Lyle just came over, but the leader, Aban, didn't bother to ask Lyle if they really had a dispute a few days ago, and Aban only said this: "I don't care why Axiao replaced Gabriel. The location, my concern is! The reconnaissance team lost contact!"

There are two reconnaissance teams at the base, one with five members. The reconnaissance team is out all year round and adopts a system that will never return to the base. Keep the investigative work going.

The two teams act independently of each other, but if they encounter trouble outside, they can cooperate with each other.

At the same time, the reconnaissance team will not lose contact, even if all members die, because the members of the reconnaissance team will be equipped with a special miniature signal device on their bodies after leaving the base.

This device is closely related to the beating of the heart. Once a team member's heartbeat stops...that is, after death, this tiny signal device will emit a strong special signal, which will be captured by the signal receiver at the base. In this case, The people at the base would know that someone in the reconnaissance team had died.

Once a special signal from five people in the reconnaissance team is received consecutively or at the same time, it means that the team will be wiped out.

But now, Aban hasn't received a single death signal, but he can't contact the reconnaissance team anyway. It stands to reason that the reconnaissance team will send a wireless signal every few hours to indicate safety and feedback, but it has passed Overnight, no signal was sent back, which is an unprecedented situation.

The occurrence of this situation caused Aban a lot of headaches, and when he had a headache, there were two groups of people in front of him who kept arguing about whether A Xiao was forced or took the initiative to replace Gabriel, and the quarrel caused Aban a terrible headache.

"Be quiet." Before Aban could speak, the black-clothed guardian next to Aban had already spoken coldly. This "guardian" who had been following Aban was actually a very mysterious man. He followed Aban I have followed him for many years, but no one knows his name except Aban.

At the same time, the black-clothed guardian didn't know when he appeared next to Aban. Anyway, since Aban became the leader of the Lost Army base, the black-clothed guardian has been here.

The guardian looked polite, but his tone of voice was a little indescribable. As long as he opened his mouth, the whole scene would immediately become much quieter.

Because the scene became quiet, Aban was able to continue giving orders. He said with a gloomy face, "We have to get back in touch with the reconnaissance team. No matter what, we must know whether they are dead or alive!"

Aban looked at the black-clothed guardian beside him, then turned his head and said to everyone: "The reconnaissance team that A Xiao joined has been out of contact for about 12 hours, and the other reconnaissance team has been unable to get back since yesterday afternoon. Contact, we finally confirmed the locations of the two teams, which are in these two places—"

Aban took out a large electronic map, the kind of three-dimensional map that can be tiled on the table. He used the three-dimensional pen that comes with the map to make two marks on the map, which means that the two scouting teams lost contact. Before, where they were last reported to the base.

But these two locations made everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

"It's so close to the base!" said one of A Xiao's team members: "The place where the captain lost contact... was almost less than five kilometers away from the base! In other words, he lost contact near our base..."

"I think everyone should be able to realize that the situation is not good." Aban said calmly pointing to the map, "This means that there is something near our base, maybe at our doorstep, there is something we don't understand There is a crisis! Those ugly bugs may have even discovered our existence, and it is not necessarily true that they are trying to lure us out."

"Then what should we do?" someone asked.

"How do I know what to do!?" Aban was very irritable, and began to play with the self-willed temper of a child, "You group of incompetent guys! Why do you only know how to rely on me for everything! I'm just a child! You actually have to rely on me!" A child! How shameless!"

The guardian in black reached out and tapped Aban on the head: "How do you admit that you are a child at this time?"

"I was originally a child!" Aban said confidently, without embarrassment at all.

"Leader, stop joking!" Someone next to him said, "Let's figure out how to get the scouting team back!"

"Tsk!" A-Ban clicked his tongue when he heard this, and frowned, "Send another team out to find out the truth, this time even if it's a trap, we have to dig into it."

Although A-Ban said that he would send another team abroad, who to send is a difficult question. Everyone present looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, the familiar team members of A-Shao recommended themselves one after another and said: "Let's go!" , we have to get the captain back!"

"It's useless for you to go." Aban dismissed Gu, "We need to send a capable person, um..."

I don't know who Aban thought of. He clapped his hands suddenly, as if he had decided on the candidate, "I've made up my mind. The rest of you should go back first. Also, Gabriel is in confinement."

Afterwards, everyone left the command room of the leader Aban, and Gabriel went to lock it tightly alone. The matter seemed to have come to an end, but that night, the leader's younger brother, Arnold, suddenly ran over to look for Lyle.

This was the first time Lyle saw Arnold without women's clothing or makeup. His face and appearance actually looked neutral, so it didn't seem too offensive to dress up as a woman.

Arnold's long hair was also tied up. He was wearing a gray overcoat with a black scarf, hat and gloves. He looked fully armed and was carrying a package in his hand.

As soon as Arnold knocked on the door of Lyle's room, he threw the package in his hand into the room, and said to Lyle: "Put on the clothes inside, take your puppet, and follow me."

"Where are you going?" Lyle asked without knowing.

"My damn old brother called me out to investigate the situation of the two scouting teams, and told me to take two random people out. Since I can take whoever I want, I will come here and take you." Arnold hooked twistedly Laughing, "Why, are you scared?"

"Can I really go out?" Lyle was indeed a little uneasy, leaving this damp and dark underground base to go to the ground... In fact, Lyle did not object, let alone Arnold was there.

"I said you can go out, so you can go out! Hurry up, I hate waiting." Arnold has become impatient, in fact, Lyle found that Arnold and his brother Aban have a little bit of similarity, for example, in the willful to the extend.

Since Lyle did not object to leaving, he obediently picked up the package that Arnold threw in for him, temporarily closed the side, and shook out all the contents of the package. The package contained two sets of special equipment for going out, clothes Pants, gloves, masks, special air filter respirators, communication devices, electronic maps, compressed food and water, etc.

Lyle put on the equipment, and at the same time ordered Scar to get dressed too. Not long after, Lyle and Scar were ready and appeared in front of Arnold. Scar nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay! Let's go with me!" Arnold resolutely took his puppet, Lyle and Scar, and the four of them set out on the road together.
