Puppeteer [Interstellar]

The exit that Lyle followed Arnold also had to go by water, diving down from the pool, swimming through a long section of water, and then finding a narrow water outlet to climb out, and finally able to swim to the deep water of a stream outside. Climb out from the crevice in the rock.

And what's even more amazing is that after climbing out of this rock gap, the place where Lyle happened to be was. After he and Scar passed through the desert, he found the first water source in the mountains, the bottom of the pool. It turned out to be one of the entrances and exits of the Earth's Lost Army Base!

Seeing this familiar scene, Lyle was really shocked. He never thought that the base he was looking for was actually under his feet after wandering around the mountains for a long time!

But there was no time left for Lyle to be shocked. As soon as Arnold led Lyle and others out, he quickly climbed up to the rocky plateau and squatted on it to observe the surrounding scenes.

They chose to travel at night, because the temperature difference between the earth's day and night is huge, and the high temperature during the day is not suitable for long-distance trekking. Although it is colder at night, activities are still possible.

It's just that there are disadvantages to traveling at night, mainly those bugs, which seem to be more active at night, and the possibility of encountering danger is also greater. Arnold knows that his group must be more cautious.

On the rocky high ground, he observed the surrounding terrain with a telescope, then Arnold took out the mini electronic map, marked the location where the reconnaissance team lost contact, and showed it to Lyle and others. He pointed to his mark with his finger He said softly: "Because the distance is not far, if we act fast, maybe we can get it done in a day or two. If not, we have to think of other ways."

Arnold asked Lyle and others to absolutely obey his orders, saying that the east cannot go west, Lyle had no objection, looked at Gabriel next to him, this guy clicked his tongue, but agreed.

Then, Arnold began to lead a group of people forward.

They try their best to find cover while walking, rocks, narrow terrain, anyway, they can drill wherever there is a crack, and gloves and shoes are specially made, walking or even climbing rocks without making any sound, moving forward according to the wind, wearing Wearing a black coat, completely blending into the night, it is a well-deserved ghost team.

The masks and the air filter stuffed in their mouths made their breathing less obvious. They did not encounter too much danger along the way, and Lyle did not see any Zerg figures nearby.

Stopping and stopping all the way like this, Lyle was a little distracted as he walked, his attention was attracted by Arnold's puppet.

Lyle was still a little curious about Arnold's puppet, because he felt a little bit that Arnold's puppet was a bit different from his own Scar...but Lyle couldn't tell what was the difference.

At this time, Arnold's puppet was standing at the front of the team to open the way. He started to act under Arnold's order, walking forward step by step according to the display of the electronic map, and at the same time observing the surrounding environment and predicting danger and other tasks.

Because everyone was wearing gloves, hats and masks, fully armed and in a dark environment, Lyle couldn't see the expression of the puppet very clearly, but he felt cold to Lyle, without any emotional fluctuations. Like some kind of cold machine.

Lyle looked at Arnold's puppet, then looked back at his own Ska, and Ska stared at him blankly, even when he was climbing and paying attention to the surrounding environment, Ska would He would still find every opportunity to look at Lyle, and occasionally when Lyle was walking slowly, he would take the initiative to come over to help and push Lyle.

He would also raise his body temperature and hug Lyle in the cold wind.

Fortunately, Ska was at the back of the team, so few people saw Ska's intimate actions, and it wouldn't make Lyle look too embarrassed, but Lyle was also aware of the puppet of Ska and Arnold Obvious difference.

Scar is special, Lyle can feel it.

And this special feature is reflected in all aspects. Lyle couldn't help but think of the digital logo on Ska's neck, which is also very different from normal golems. He also thought that Ska was originally a group of pirates who came from the golem R&D base. Stolen dolls that are "still in development".

Although Lyle didn't know much about the difference between the golem and the golem before, he also dimly realized that Scar was different. Maybe he should find some way to hide Scar in the future, at least give him the scar on his neck. Covering the logo, Lyle was a little scared. He was afraid that Ska would be snatched away by the Alliance group in the future and snatch him away from Lyle.

In any case, Lyall never wanted or allowed this to happen.

Because he couldn't bear the consequences of losing Scar.

Following Arnold and Arnold's puppet, the team walked almost all night. At the end, Lyle felt a little bit exhausted, but he found that Arnold and Gabriel in front of him didn't look sleepy at all. , they are still moving forward.

Scar, who was behind him, seemed to be aware of Lyle's physical condition, and came over to hug Lyle, but Lyle stopped him and shook his head at him.

Lyle knows that he will grow up after all, and he can never rely on Scar all the time. Although Scar is very reliable and always gives Lyle a feeling of "depending on me!", if he doesn't become stronger, Laier will Hall would feel like he was holding Scar back.

Rejecting Scar's help, Lyle tried hard to keep up with the rhythm of the team. Fortunately, Arnold, who was walking in front, seemed to remember Lyle's physical condition. He glanced back at Lyle and said in a low voice: "Your injury is still there. Not fully recovered, let's find a place to rest."

After that, they found a safe place surrounded by rocks to rest, drink some water and eat something.

It was probably the rest time, and Arnold seemed a lot more lazy. He waved to his golem, and his golem came to him obediently. The puppet sat on the stone slab, and he climbed into the arms of the puppet, and was so intimate with the puppet.

Seeing Arnold's appearance, Lyle next to him felt a little hot on his face. He couldn't help but wonder, are all puppet masters like this?Do all kinds of shy and unscrupulous things like this and that with my puppet.

Although Lyle himself and Scar also look like this.

By the way...Speaking of which, it seems that Lyle's older brother Al should also become a puppet master.

If the teenagers and girls of the Alliance successfully pass the mental strength test at the age of 15, they will be sent to the puppet master training base collectively around September of the same year, that is, after the summer vacation.

According to Arnold, the puppeteer has to go through several months of mental training before officially obtaining the puppet. The shortest is one or two months, and the longest is one year. They all need to train for half a year. Apart from mental strength training, it seems that there are other trainings and various courses that need to be learned.

Even becoming a puppet master is not enough just to control the puppet. According to the regulations of the alliance, after graduating from the training base, the puppet master must be obliged to become a member of the alliance army, that is, to become a soldier.

Therefore, the puppet master must learn military-related knowledge, as well as basic physical fitness and combat training. At the same time, he can also learn many other courses, such as learning to control mechs and pilot combat spaceships.

Lyle doesn't know where his elder brother Elki's course has progressed?Did you get your own puppet?Have you signed a spiritual contract with the puppet?

In fact, what is even more unimaginable to Lyle is that Al and his demon idol, Arnold, acted so intimately with each other. This kind of imagination made Lyle feel a little horrified.

While Lyle was thinking, the rest time passed, and when the team went back on the road, troubles followed.

Arnold's puppet was the first to notice the abnormality. As soon as he waved his hand, Arnold squatted down quickly. After Arnold squatted down, Gabriel also squatted down instinctively, followed by Lyle and Scar. They took advantage of the cover of the rock to secretly observe several huge figures not far away.

There are a few Zerg wandering on the open terrain in front of them. They seem to be digging a hole, digging a hole in the ground, and going in and out of it.

Because the distance was very short, no one in the team spoke. Lyle didn't know what the Zerg were doing, but just by looking, it seemed that they should have dug a nest.

Arnold looked down at the electronic map in his hand from time to time. The map showed that they were very close to the place where the scouting team disappeared. They should be nearby. These bad monsters.

Could it be that the reconnaissance team has been taken away by these monsters?They didn't kill them immediately but dragged them back to the lair to store food. It's not impossible, but so far, as long as the leftover army encounters these insects, they must die. Just a case of dragging back to the lair.

A Nuo and others came here this time to investigate the situation of the reconnaissance team... In fact, to put it more harshly, A Nuo and the others simply came out to take a look. Go rescue those members of the scouting team.

This is the regulation of the left army base. The role of the reconnaissance team is to investigate. They leave the safe base and go outside with the determination to die. When these people go out, they must complete their tasks, otherwise they will never be able to come back. Not allowed back.

Regardless of whether these people are dead or alive, there is no need for the base to send people to rescue them, because the support cannot keep up and the conditions are not allowed. If they go out to save people, more people may die. Every member who goes out to investigate should Understand this, from the moment they leave the base, they become lonely ghosts wandering in the wild, without support, they will fight alone.

This time, Aban sent this team out for inspection because of the special situation. The two scouting teams lost contact. The base couldn't sit still and wait for a miracle to happen. They could only send a new team out to scout for news.

That's why Arnold ran out with his puppet, Lyle, Scar, and Gabriel.

Gabriel seemed very calm and well-trained in the team. It was obviously not the first time he ran out to do such a dangerous job, and he shouldn't feel psychological pressure about it, but he didn't know what happened to him and A Xiao. What happened to make A Xiao willing to take his place.
