The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World - Chapter 631
c631 Spaceship?
After boarding a “Vulture” transport plane that was about to return to the airship, standing at the cabin door, Li Meng said to Zhao Hongwen on the snow outside: “Pay attention to the security work around you. Just because we don’t cause trouble for them doesn’t mean they won’t.” To cause trouble for us, everything needs to be done with caution, and we leave it to you here.
The engine roared and air waves rolled. As the hatch closed, the “Vulture” transport plane slowly took off. When it flew dozens of meters into the sky, its speed increased from slow to fast, and soared into the sky.
In the sky, under the clouds, the airship has left the extreme temperature layer and is hovering over the base.
From the gate of Harbor No. 1, the “Vulture” transport plane Li Meng boarded slowly flew into Harbor No. 1.
At this time, under the mobilization of the captains, the harbor was already bustling with activity. Hundreds of mercenaries gathered in the harbor. They would form teams one after another to go to the ground to participate in search missions.
“Gather, gather…”
Seeing that the “Vulture” transport plane Li Meng was riding on had returned, Xu Jianxiong, who was mobilizing mercenaries in the harbor, shouted loudly.
The chaotic noise suddenly disappeared, and there was only the sound of “clanging” footsteps. The mercenaries scattered everywhere quickly lined up in front of Xu Jianxiong.
In addition to ordinary mercenaries, there are also pilots of the “Little Bird” armed helicopter.
After parking the heavy cavalry guard in the dedicated docking area, Li Meng opened the hatch and left the cockpit.
Arriving in front of the team, facing the gazes of the mercenaries, Li Meng said loudly: “This mission is a search. As for what is being searched for, the relevant information has been sent to your personal information database, search area It is divided into four areas, namely southeast, northwest, and the “Little Bird” armed helicopter is responsible for the farthest north and west areas. Remember, your mission is to search, not to fight. If you are attacked, give priority to evacuating, and the rest When you form a light search team, you will be equipped with electric sleds and be responsible for the south and east areas. Remember, do not go near the red area. The heavy cavalry guards are responsible for the defense of the ground base. This base is the charging station for all electrical equipment. You Although we are in the rear, the burden on our shoulders is equally heavy. There is no time limit for this mission. We must find the target. If we can’t find it in one day, we will find it in two days. We must find it even if we turn the search area upside down. Do you understand?”
“yes!”
Everyone said in unison, with quite a bit of momentum.
With a wave of his hand, Li Meng said in a deep voice: “Let’s go!”
Following Li Meng’s order, the crowd dispersed. The pilots rushed to the “Little Bird” armed helicopter, while the mercenaries rushed to the “Vulture” transport plane that was already ready to take off.
The engines roared and the air waves rolled. After a while, “Little Bird” armed helicopters flew out from various gates and pounced towards the ground.
Followed closely by the “Vulture” transport aircraft, their mission is to deliver the mercenaries to the ground.
The target of the airship is too large and too fragile. It cannot stay in the sky for a long time and must hide in the extreme temperature layer. This is why ground bases are built.
With a ground base, personnel returning from search missions have a place to rest and recharge electrical equipment without the need to frequently return to the airship.
Because in the extreme temperature layer, the flying unit cannot return to the airship, and the return procedure must be performed outside the extreme temperature layer.
Once the outgoing personnel return, the airship must frequently leave the extreme temperature layer, which will bring great risks to the airship.
A “Little Bird” armed helicopter can be lost, and a “Vulture” transport aircraft can also be lost, but an airship must not be lost.
Just on the snowfield south of the ground base, “Vulture” transport planes slowly descended, their engines roaring, their rotors roaring, and rolling snowflakes rolled up.
As the cabin door opened, mercenaries rushed out of the cabin one by one on electric sleds, galloping on the snowy field, and quickly moved away to the south.
】
Looking from the sky to the ground, the mercenaries who left the “Vulture” transport plane and rode electric sleds on the snowy fields were like a goddess scattering flowers, spreading to the south and disappearing quickly.
After returning to the captain’s cabin, taking off his protective clothing and putting on a lighter piece of clothing, Li Meng went to the bridge.
As soon as he sat down on the captain’s chair on the bridge, Li Meng looked at the screen and contacted Zhao Hongwen.
“Sending people to the mountain where we observed the city before to monitor the city. They attacked the airship, which means they have discovered our arrival and are watching them.”
“Yes, I’ll make arrangements right away.”
After hanging up the personal communication with Zhao Hongwen, Li Meng looked at the white clouds outside the window with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Now we can only wait, waiting for the search team on the ground to find Stonehenge.
The area that needs to be searched is neither large nor small. If Stonehenge is not buried under snow, it will definitely be found.
Time passes little by little, day after day passes…
The cold wind howled, and the sound of “Woo” echoed in my ears.
Although he could choose to block the noise outside, Huang Lei did not do so.
If it is blocked, some important sounds may not be heard.
Half squatting on a protruding platform halfway up the mountain, Huang Lei observed the city not far away through the magnification function of his electronic eyes.
Looking at the city with bright lights and high-rise buildings, Huang Lei murmured in his heart.
Unexpectedly, besides Black Flag City, there is also a decent city in the original continent.
Huang Lei was not alone. There were three heavy cavalry guards behind him. Like him, they were all half-kneeling.
“It’s been three days. We have sent so many people to look for Stonehenge, but we haven’t found it. I think this mission is in jeopardy.”
“I have the same feeling. I have seen pictures. Stonehenge is quite large. If it is really in the search area, it should be easy to find. Unless there is an earthquake and the place where Stonehenge is located sinks, the snow alone should not be able to bury Stonehenge. Or the area is wrong and Stonehenge is not in the search area.”
“Will it be in the ruins of the city? If it is a scenic spot, it may become a museum in the city.”
“What’s the point of talking here? Tell the captain your opinions.”
“Come on, what we can think of, how can the captain not think of it? It’s only been three days. Keep looking.”
Listening to his companions talking, Huang Lei did not stop them. They have been here for a long time. Staring at one place for too long will make anyone feel bored.
Let them talk. In the heavy cavalry guards and on such a far mountain, no one can hear them.
Suddenly, Huang Lei’s expression changed, and he was surprised. He said quickly: “Stop talking, be quiet, look over there, what is that?”
In Huang Lei’s eyes, a golden light appeared somewhere on the city wall.
Looking carefully, Huang Lei found that there was a place similar to a dock on the side of the city wall facing the city, where ships were docked.
The style of the ship had a towering mast, and the appearance of the ship was very similar to that of a sailing ship.
