Chapter 22 Escape
The gate of the core communication room.
The federal soldiers in the two paralyzed power armors have been dragged out and tied to the side.
Judging from the bullet holes in the nearby wall and the degree of damage to the two powered armors.
‘Tail Needle’ and Viscount Ankarin judged that the three people responsible for destroying the core communication terminal had indeed launched a strong attack here.
And it seems to have worked.
At the same time, the 'Tail Needle' also sensed multiple signs of surviving human life in the core control room.
In addition, after the orbital paratroopers under Viscount Ankarin landed, they did not find any abnormal communication from the communication center.
Especially the signals sent to the outside of the planet.
These circumstances made this high-level agent of Star Dragon Fang also have doubts in his heart.
"Did they really complete the mission?"
"Then why did 'Judas' lose contact?"
While he was doubting, an accompanying technical soldier also returned Viscount Ankarin reported the situation.
The door to the core communication room was completely locked from the inside.
He tried his best to crack it, but failed.
The person who locked the door seemed to have reset the program and bypassed the permissions of the communication center control system.
So even if the orbital paratroopers have taken control of the communication center's main console, they still cannot remotely open the door.
"The person inside is not simple, he should be a veteran in program cracking."
Listening to the report from his men, Viscount Ankarin nodded slightly, and then walked to the door.
Although the door is locked and cannot be opened, the communication function of the control terminal can still be used.
Viscount Ankarin turned on the communication function, and everything he said could be heard by the people inside.
"This is the landing force of the Star Dragon Empire. The Yasin base has fallen. People inside please open the door immediately to avoid unnecessary casualties!"
When Ankarin finished speaking After these words, the communication channel on the gate terminal fell into a deathly silence.
After a while, a garbled voice finally came.
"Name? Position? Troop number? I need to verify your identity."
"Who are you?" Viscount Ankarin did not answer the other party's question, but asked instead.
“It’s funny, you don’t even know who I am, and you still call yourself the Imperial Force?”
Although the sound coming from the amplifier equipment has been synthesized, it still sounds mean, listen. It makes people feel a little angry.
However, as an imperial nobleman, Viscount Ancarin still had a basic sense of magnanimity and did not get angry because of it.
On the contrary, the 'Tail Needle' on the side seemed a little excited after hearing this voice that was not familiar to him.
He suppressed the resentment in his heart and said in as calm a tone as possible:
"No. LJ-2788 'Judas', you are now authorized to be released from your deep lurking mission. You can talk to us normally."
'Tail Needle', holding on to the last glimmer of hope, ended his men's lurking mission ahead of schedule.
He was afraid that his subordinate was a fool.
Because I was still on a latent mission, subject to disciplinary requirements and to ensure my own safety, I did not contact myself.
But there was no sound coming from the terminal at the gate.
After the somewhat embarrassing scene lasted for a while, the synthesized voice continued to come from the terminal.
"Well, I'm sorry, the 'Judas' you are talking about was killed by me because he suddenly attacked us at the last moment of the mission."
Seeing that the situation is developing in the worst direction. , the face under the 'Tail Needle' visor has completely turned black.
"Very good. You are the 'Baby Bird', a federal psychic agent, but your true identity is a deep sleeper spy of the empire."
"We have obtained evidence that you have betrayed the empire. We hope you will understand the current situation and open the door quickly to avoid suffering more torture later!"
"Is there any other Miss Margaret? Oh no, you "My real name should be Isabel"
"I now suspect that you are colluding with the traitors of the empire. Killing my lurking personnel is an act of treason!" Hearing the words of 'Tail Needle', the message came out in the communication channel. There was a disdainful sneer.
“Tch, you said I’m treason and I’m treason? Who are you?!”
Seeing that the communication was heading toward scolding, Viscount Ankarin was about to say something to stabilize the mood of both parties.
But the news from the communications soldier on the side interrupted his movements.
“You are saying that it has been detected that an external signal has been sending messages to the inside of the core communication room?”
“Yes, sir, this signal appeared after turning on the communication module. "
The words of the signal soldier made Viscount Ankarin think of a possibility as if his forehead was electrified.
He quickly mobilized several engineers and came to the communication center.
Then they were taken to the corridor of the core communications room.
“Blast the door open!”
As Ankarin’s order was issued, these orbital paratroopers carrying various explosives and obstacle-breaking props quickly came to the door of the core communication room , start sticking explosives.
“What are you doing?”
Ankarin's order made Tail Needle unable to react for a while.
"I suspect that the person you are looking for is not in the core communication room at all."
"We have been fooled."
The moment the Lord Viscount finished speaking, The orbital paratroopers responsible for placing door-breaking explosives also completed their work.
After everyone retreated to a safe distance, the orbital paratroopers detonated the explosives at the signal of Viscount Ankarin.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The explosives placed around the alloy door triggered a series of explosions.
In the smoke and dust generated by the explosion, the door slowly fell backwards.
The orbital paratroopers, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed in the moment the gate fell.
After hearing the command "Safe!"
Viscount Ancarin walked into the core communication room with 'Tail Needle'.
The central core communication terminal has indeed been blown to pieces.
But in this small room, there were only a few unconscious federal soldiers on duty who were tied up.
The only 'outsider' is the bloody corpse on the ground.
The communications troop also quickly found the source of the strange signal.
It was a small terminal connected to the console inside the door.
It is this gadget that is constantly receiving encrypted communications from the outside world, and is finally connected to the communication channel of the gate.
“Can we do positioning?”
Viscount Ankarin looked at this personal terminal that was obviously a temporary modification and asked the communication soldier beside him.
The latter took out the instrument and checked it, then shook his head.
"No sir, the other party has disconnected. At present, we can only roughly confirm that the real signal source is to the east of the base."
Yasin Base is in a mountain col 20 kilometers east.
Use psychic energy to shape a terminal the size of a watch into an irregular ball.
Amber threw it out casually.
Beside him was Margaret, who had changed into federal training uniforms and a medium-sized exoskeleton.
Or Miss Isabel.
