Puppeteer [Interstellar]

But there was no time to think more, at this moment, Arnold, Lyle, and Gabriel, the three of them plus two taciturn golems, after observing the Zerg patrolling over there for a while, Arnold seemed to have As for the next step, he waved at Lyle and the others, actually gesturing for Lyle and the others to retreat.

There is nothing wrong with retreating, there are so many Zergs over there, even if they dig a cave underground, it is not something Lyle and the others can stop, and the longer they stay in this ghost place, the greater the probability of being discovered by the Zergs, they must to go.

However, before Leyle left, he glanced at the Zerg wandering there. He suddenly saw a few humans in white protective suits, machine guns, helmets and oxygen cylinders walking in the caves dug by the Zerg. out.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being human. Although all of them are wearing helmets and thick protective clothing, and cannot see the appearance and face, but the height and shape can be seen as human beings. Lyle was taken aback at the time and stared in astonishment. Big eyes.

Seeing that Lyle was not leaving, Arnold reached out and patted him on the shoulder. Lyle looked back at Arnold, then raised his finger and pointed at the worm swarm over there, pointing at the few who emerged from the worm swarm. Dress up weird humans.

Following the direction of Lyle's finger, Arnold also looked over there, obviously he was also surprised.

It's amazing to see a few humans wandering around among the hideous and screaming bugs!

What's even more astonishing is that these people seem to have lifted something out of the bug's lair. The metal cuboid box was used to hold the thing. Judging by the size of the box, it should be able to hold humans inside.

Arnold squatted behind the rock and watched for a long time, and was silent for a long time. Finally, he typed a line on the electronic map and showed it to Lyle. It said: "I want to go into the insect nest, you guys Wait here."

Lyle wanted to stop him. This kind of behavior was really dangerous. There were patrolling bugs all over the place. How could Arnold jump over those swarms and enter the nest?

But Arnold still went his own way, he threw some unnecessary burdens on his body to Lyle, walked lightly to his puppet, and said something in the puppet's ear.

Arnold's puppet, Biska, was still taciturn, and squatted in front of Arnold, beckoning Arnold to climb up on his back, and then Arnold went up, and the puppet carried Arnold on its back, and quickly jumped off the rock. Jumped down.

They ran fast, merged into the night, and disappeared in a flash, but they didn't make any sound. They seemed to be flying when they ran. Lyle seemed to feel a little bit about the Zerg over there, but they just went this way Bian turned his head, and soon went back to continue patrolling.

In the middle of the insect swarm, those strange humans in white protective suits dragged their large metal boxes out. Several of them seemed to operate some kind of remote control, and then a huge spaceship appeared in the open space.

It turned out that there was a spaceship parked in the open space next to the Zerg lair, and it was an invisible spaceship!

The model of the spaceship, Lyle, should be a medium-sized cargo ship, the kind used to load cargo. It seems that these unknown people in white protective clothing seem to have carried something in the Zerg nest as cargo.

To be honest, these Zergs will appear on the earth, and this matter itself seems very strange. It stands to reason that after the Alliance repelled the Zergs, the Alliance deployed a space defense network in a certain range of star fields, and the Earth also Within the scope of the defense net, it is impossible for these bugs to break through the defense net and appear on the earth, unless——

Unless someone deliberately brought it in.

However, according to today's human technology, people shouldn't have that level of technology to control the Zerg. However, why those guys in white protective clothing can go back and forth in the Zerg swarm openly and unscrupulously, but they are safe and sound. Will be attacked by those bugs?

Lyle couldn't figure this out. He saw Anuo and his puppet, passing by the swarm. The worms seemed to be vaguely aware of something coming, but they were just wandering around. I didn't find anything. It seems that Arnold and his puppet do have some skills.

And the team of strange guys in white protective suits over there have dragged their metal boxes to the door of their spaceship, and opened the spaceship, as if they want to transport these metal boxes in.

Lyle guessed that Arnold might have changed his mind. Arnold didn't seem to intend to continue entering the Zerg lair, but instead set his target on the spaceship where those people transported the boxes, because Lyle vaguely saw that Arnold had changed through the telescope. The course of action, he passed towards those people's spaceship.

It seems much easier to sneak into a group of human spaceships than to sneak into a Zerg lair. Lyle watched Anuo's puppet rush in quickly with his back on his back. After waiting for a long time, no one came out again, and the spaceship calmed down. It stopped in place but did not take off and did not continue to be invisible.

Lyle put away the binoculars, a little anxious in his heart, he glanced back at Gabriel.

Gabriel stared at him too.

Since the Zerg was nearby, the two of them couldn't make too much noise, and naturally it wasn't easy to talk to each other. After thinking about it, Lyle also typed a line on the electronic map, which meant to ask Gabriel to leave here and report back to the base.

Gabriel can't help here. Compared with the puppeteer, he is very fragile as an ordinary human being. Lyle did this for his sake, but Gabriel actually replied: "You are not the captain, no Qualifications order me."

Then Lyle continued typing and said, "I want to follow Arnold into that spaceship, but I can't take you with me."

"Are you looking for death? Arnold only dares to do this if he has experience. If you don't, don't create unnecessary trouble!" Gabriel was typing impatiently.

In fact, what he said is correct, Lyle has no experience in infiltrating in this area. Even if Lyle believes that his Scar can do it, rash actions may bring danger to Arnold over there, even if Lyle He was anxious, so he had to suppress this anxiety and wait silently.

But obviously, they have no chance to wait any longer.

Neither Lyle nor Gabriel made any sound, but for some reason, a Zerg appeared behind them, rubbing against the rocks under their feet, Lyle and Gabriel heard this sound , Looking back, I saw a huge Zerg climbing up the rock with its tail flicking.

Both Lyle and Gabriel froze immediately, frozen in place, and Scar beside Lyle did not move rashly. He just stretched out his hand to hug Lyle and covered Lyle's mouth with his hand.

Insects have no eyes, so they can't see anything naturally. Their keen sense of hearing and thermal energy detection are the only ways for them to interpret the world, but this method also has flaws. For example, the clothes worn by Lyle and others are a kind of heat insulation material A "stealth" suit specially developed for Zerg.

Because this kind of clothes is expensive, and there are not many left in the army base, they are basically prepared for the reconnaissance team who have been conducting reconnaissance outside for a long time.

This material can isolate the thermal energy detection of the Zerg, so that the body temperature of Lyle and others looks exactly the same as the surrounding environment in their sensory system, so that even if the Zerg crawls in front of these people, the blind bugs can't see it The presence of Lyle and others, and as long as Lyle and the others wait quietly without making a sound, the bugs will walk away on their own.

Lyle and the others did the same thing. The moment they saw the bug, the three of them seemed to be under the petrification spell of Medusa, and they became three motionless sculptures, standing stiffly in place.

But unfortunately, this bug is probably too close, its useless nose seems to smell a little prey, it began to crawl towards Lyle, Scar and Gabriel, and its sharp claws slapped On the gravel ground, it let out a low growl.

Lyle felt that Scar's hand covering his mouth was a little bit harder. Scar seemed to be changing his body coordination, which meant that he was ready to fight.

But at the moment Scar was ready to make a move at any time, another unexpected thing caught the Zerg's attention. It was the cargo ship parked over there, and there was a sound like gunshots coming from inside!

The sound was not loud, and it sounded from inside the cargo ship, but it seemed to attract the attention of all the Zergs around them. The hearing of these Zergs was really powerful, and they could be felt from far away. The Zerg sensed it as a matter of course, and raised its head slightly to "look" in the direction of the cargo ship.

Then the Zerg passed Lyle and the others, got off the rock, and ran towards the cargo ship.

And Lyle and Gabriel couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but while relaxing, Lyle felt a little bad, Arnold was still in the cargo ship, and there was another gunshot in the cargo ship, is it right? What's going on inside?

It's just that this situation didn't wait for Lyle to think too much. He found that the bugs seemed to have discovered a new world, and suddenly all gathered together, and surrounded the central cargo ship in groups. Only then realized the existence of this cargo ship, and began to attack the cargo ship!

what happened?

Seeing this step not far away, Lyle was also surprised. The bugs just now did not attack those humans in white protective suits when they came out carrying the boxes, and at the same time ignored the cargo ship... Could it be that some A means of controlling the Zerg?And just using some kind of black technology, so that the Zerg didn't find them for the time being?

Lyle could only think so, because the cargo ship was obviously in a state of crisis at the moment, and the Zerg rushed up in a swarm, and all climbed onto the hull of the cargo ship one by one. Their claws were so sharp that they easily smashed the cargo ship. Several cracks were torn open on the surface!

Someone inside the cargo ship seemed to have activated the energy defense cover of the spaceship. This cover had a repelling effect, and all the Zergs hanging on the spaceship were bounced away at once, but the cover was useless, and the Zergs quickly returned Vigorously, they climbed up the spaceship again. The energy shield could not stop their footsteps at all. These terrifying Zerg swarmed on the energy shield, covering the entire spaceship.

This time, Lyle couldn't control the issue of making a sound. He turned to look at Gabriel next to him. Gabriel also had a shocked expression on his face. Lyle said, "What should we do!? We have to save Arnold."

Gabriel objected: "Arnold is protected by a puppet, he cannot die."

Lyle got a little angry when he heard these words, and said angrily: "No matter how strong the golem is, it can't withstand the entire Zerg army. If you leave Arnold there, he will definitely die!"

"What can I do!" Gabriel seemed to be angry, "I'm not a puppeteer! I'm not the same as you guys, I'm just an ordinary person, useless trash at all! Are you satisfied!? "

Lyle choked: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to blame you."

Gabriel also seemed embarrassed, stretched out his hand and scratched his head: "...It's okay, it's my fault to compete with a child like you."

Lyle was reluctant to be treated like a child, but he was younger, and Gabriel looked almost 30 years old.

"Even so, we still have to find a way to save Arnold." Lyle looked at the cargo ship surrounded by densely packed Zerg, feeling a little guilty, but he didn't want Arnold to die, there must be some way, but Lyle didn't expect That's all.

Instead, Gabriel here made a suggestion. He said: "I have a few noise suppressors here, which are the kind of gadgets that make noise, and they emit sound waves that we humans cannot hear, but those The Zerg can hear it, and the sound seems overwhelming in their sensory system, so they're bound to destroy the noise suppressors."

These are some small props developed by the Lost Army on Earth after fighting against the Zerg for a long time, to attract the attention of the Zerg and lure them to other places. Generally, someone in the reconnaissance team will bring these props.

When Gabriel said this, he pointed to a nearby mountain ravine on the electronic map, which was a thousand-meter-deep ravine cracked on the flat rocky ground.

"I will take these things to this side, and throw them to the bottom of the cliff at the same time, they will make a huge noise during the fall, and attract all the Zerg, this will buy you a short time, you can Get into that freighter while they're being lured away by me and bring Arnold back."

Gabriel paused for a moment, then continued: "After bringing back Arnold, don't look back for me again. After I throw these things into the cliff, I will leave immediately and return to the base, so the next journey, you and I Take care of yourself."
