Chapter 1296: The Starfire Outpost Was Completely Destroyed
Lin Lan knew that this matter was another unsolved mystery for him at the moment.
He secretly decided that before the observer used Laplace's demon to drag him to the original world next time, he must list in advance the intelligence he would prioritize exploring and collecting in the original world.
"Since the threat has been eliminated, let's go to the outpost now.
"Forget it, Mercury Memorial, Miss D, Harbin, you can go with me, and the others can go back to the flying spirit to rest first. "
Because they had just experienced saturation bombing, the snow on the ground around them had completely melted, and the surrounding temperature had risen a few degrees.
Lin Lan looked at the outpost that could be seen at a glance, and whispered to the girls around him.
Although the source of pollution was eliminated, he did not feel any joy in his heart.
Especially thinking of the tragic scene that he would see in this outpost next, he chose to let only three girls go with him.
Lingmin and Anshan wanted to say something about his arrangement, but were stopped by Mercury Memorial and Harbin with their eyes.
In this kind of situation, it is better for them to accompany the commander to deal with it.
However, Lang Yuexi proposed to go with them. Lin Lan thought about it and agreed to let the extreme girl follow.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Lan and the other four walked through the snow and came to the outskirts of this outpost.
Everything was so normal, as if no attack had ever happened here.
Except for the lack of life, the North State Spark Outpost, which looked like an ordinary snow country town except for a few more metal sentry towers, was almost the same from the outside.
Mercury Memorial, who had deployed her ship suit, took the lead and walked in front.
The North Union light cruiser girl led them to the end of the snow-covered road and swiped the ID reader that automatically raised the iron fence.
With the sound of "beep", Lin Lan finally witnessed the situation inside the outpost.
The fields covered by the magic cube facility greenhouse were on both sides of the road. The greenhouse had accumulated a thick layer of snow because no one cleaned it.
Several warehouse-like buildings and Natlan-style civilian buildings were located at the deepest part of the road. Several green pickup trucks and snowplows were neatly parked in the open space in front of the warehouse.
"There is still no one. "
As Lin Lan and the four girls walked into the outpost, Harbin looked around and whispered to him:
"This place doesn't look like it has been through a battle, or the wind and snow have covered up the traces of the battle.
"But Commander, look, the crops in the fields seem to have been dug up."
He looked in the direction Harbin was looking.
Sure enough, the soil in the fields of these transparent Rubik's Cube greenhouses had been roughly dug up, and the crops in the fields had disappeared.
Mercury Memorial quickly ran to the side of a greenhouse, and soon, this always optimistic light cruiser girl frowned and made a new discovery:
"The Rubik's Cube power supply facilities in the cultivation field have been destroyed. Look, there should have been an operating table there, but the operating table in each experimental field is gone."
Lin Lan heard this and looked around carefully with the three girls around him.
Just as Mercury Memorial said, the operating tables in the cultivation fields disappeared without a trace.
But Miss D quickly raised her eyebrows, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Lin Lan also guessed something, and strode to Mercury Memorial, bent down and began to dig snow.
Soon, he dug out the result he least wanted to face from the thick snow.
It was a bloody body that had been completely frozen and torn into pieces, so that it could not be seen in human form.
He stood up again from the scattered fragments of red cotton military uniforms and broken metal parts that he dug out by the way, and did not say a word for a long time.
Mercury Memorial's face was full of complex emotions.
The girl took off the white Northern Alliance cap and silently saluted the body that was dug out by the commander in front of her.
"These Natlan bodies have been corroded and need to be concentrated and purified later.
"According to the deduction, after being corroded by the Class V threat, they chose to use their lives to destroy the facilities that allow the pollution source to obtain the magic cube energy. "
Miss D said in a calm tone what these sacrificed Natlan warriors did before they died.
"They clearly had the authority to enter the main control console, why did this happen..."
Mercury Memorial's trembling voice made Lin Lan gently hug the girl into her arms.
Miss D's words did not end:
"Because these Natlan people probably guessed that the source of pollution was the mind cube in the main control console's cube matrix.
"They have probably discovered that this kind of threat from the spiritual level will distort their will, so before their consciousness is completely distorted..."
"Enough."
The arbitrator girl's reasoning was not finished, and she was interrupted by Mercury Ji Jin:
"They all have their own names! They are heroes, don't call them 'these Natlan people'!"
"...Anticus will remember everyone who sacrificed in the fight against Type X and Type V threats. They deserve to be remembered."
To Lin Lan's surprise, this time Miss D did not argue with Mercury Ji Jin as he imagined, but apologized to Mercury Ji Jin in a serious tone:
"I apologize to you for what I said just now, so I think we should give priority to collecting the names of these victims now."
Lin Lan also patted Mercury Ji Jin's head at the right time and said softly:
"Miss D is right, we must let these heroes be remembered forever.
"After the names are collected, I will accompany you to cremate and bury all the victims in the outpost. "
Mercury Ji Nian took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness in her heart, nodded to him, and cast an apologetic look at Miss D.
Lin Lan, who set out again with the girls, knew that many corpses were covered by heavy snow, so he took the initiative to open the elemental vision.
The scene that came into his eyes made his heart tremble.
Under the heavy snow in this outpost, countless bodies of the North State Spark Column soldiers were buried.
These bodies were almost all around the cultivation field, which showed that these soldiers used their flesh and blood to carry bombs to destroy the cultivation field operating table and blocked the energy supply of the magic cube in the field.
In addition to him, Lang Yuexi's face was also shrouded in sadness from beginning to end.
As a person at the limit of the realm of asking questions, Lang Yuexi had also discovered all this with his divine sense.
Watching his compatriots die tragically at the hands of the evil demon, the sadness in Lang Yuexi's heart was no less than that of Mercury Ji Nian.
Lin Lan and the four girls spent more than ten minutes walking along the snowy road and finally walked out of the cultivation field area and came to the central area of the outpost at the end of the road.
In Lin Lan's vision, hundreds of frozen bodies were buried under the snow on the platform where trucks and snowplows were parked in front of the building.
Lang Yuexi stopped where he was and sighed.
He also took off the commander's military cap on his head and silently paid his respects to this ice and snow "cemetery".
The bodies of these Great Wall Guards were all shot by the guns around them that were also covered by heavy snow.
The bodies were all shot in the same place, that is, the side of the head.
"Organized suicide by shooting, they have discovered that their consciousness has been corrupted.
"No wonder the Class V threat pollution source is so weak. "
Lin Lan looked at the Natlan warriors covered in snow, and he completely understood why their battle just now was so smooth.
According to his guess, the invisible Type V threat entity feeds on consciousness and magic cube energy.
But in order to avoid being completely eroded and corrupted, the Great Wall Guards stationed in this outpost chose the only thing they could do.
That is, all members committed suicide.
