Humans collapse into slag

The red frame symbolizing the alarm flickered, and the intellectual brain issued a mechanical broadcast sound.

Entering the black barrier, the light screen disappears.

All he can rely on is himself.

A spinning cone-shaped escape pod crossed the blue horizon, dragging out a long wake.

That's... Mu Rong!

Liao Yuning woke up suddenly.

In front of him was the transparent cover of the dormant cabin, and there were a few lines of red text on the floating light screen. Before his heartbeat calmed down, his brain had already read those contents.

[A sudden geological tectonic movement in the area around Base No. [-] has issued an emergency evacuation order. 】

[The task has the highest priority, and all staff are in a state of combat readiness. 】

[All assessment items are suspended, and the overseas personnel return to the mothership immediately. 】

[Members of the rescue team of the headquarters rushed to the nearest assembly point to receive instructions. 】

"I want to leave the cabin."

After ordering the exit, the hatch of the dormant cabin opened upwards. Liao Yuning got up and saw that the dormant cabins were opening up, down, left, and right one after another. Everyone should have been notified.

The instability of PD077's geological structure, frequent earthquakes and volcanic movements have long been known, and the exercise command has already prepared plans for this, but it has reached the level where an emergency evacuation order needs to be issued, which proves that the situation is more serious than before.

With a kick of his legs, Liao Yuning floated out of the dormant cabin lightly.

In order to facilitate the entry and exit of personnel, the simulated gravity system of the dormant cabin was not turned on, and Liao Yuning fell to the ground when he approached the exit. He turned on his communicator, glanced at the assembly location announced above, and began to walk quickly.

As a member of the command rescue team, he now needs to go to the rendezvous point.

The rescue team of the command headquarters is composed of advanced students from various departments. It was set up to rescue accidents during the assessment process. It was originally a relatively leisurely job, but now it seems that it has to take on heavy responsibilities

At present, there are nearly 077 students in the No. 1 base in the central mainland of PD[-], who are students of melee mecha and other auxiliary departments. The emergency evacuation of these people is not an easy task, not to mention that the exercise is still in progress, and there are still a large number of people on the way. In a remote area far from the base.

However, the Imperial Military Academy is the highest military academy in the Yinzhu Empire after all. The students are of high quality, well-trained and strictly enforced. After the evacuation order was issued, everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

Countless fighter planes returned, and a large number of near-earth transport ships shuttled between the No. 077 base and the Intrepid. The small spaceships of the rescue team of the headquarters began to shuttle around the PD[-] Central Continent to bring back the trapped teachers and students.

October [-]th at three o'clock in the morning Imperial Standard Time.

A rescue spaceship numbered RS137 is flying along the northwest foothills of No. [-] base. There are five members on board, the commander Liao Yuning, and three graduate students besides him, from the ship department, fighter plane department and information department. A fifth-year student from the Department of Intelligent Medicine joined temporarily.

Ten minutes ago, RS10 received a distress signal from the northwest of Base 137, and was about to go to rescue at this time.

"Three active volcanoes are erupting within ten kilometers of the source of the signal, and the volcanic ash has obscured the satellite imaging system, and we are about to lose the positioning of the signal." Todd, a student in the information department in charge of the monitoring system, said.

Liao Yuning: "Using the magnetic field to assist positioning, the error should not be too large in less than 3 minutes." Then he said to the human in the main driver's seat: "Xin Zhao, go at full speed!"

"Understood." The boy named Zhao Xin pushed the joystick.

The huge inertia pressed everyone on the ship against the back of the seat. Li Ao, an advanced student in the fighter department in the rear passenger seat, joked with Dono, a fifth grade student sitting next to him, "Oh, don't be nervous, it's just a volcanic eruption. It’s still incomparable with the real battlefield.”

Dono's teeth chattered: "But, but—"

"But what?" Li Ao was stunned before he finished speaking.

On the light screen in the driving area ahead, hot volcanic lava rained down from the sky like a dense meteor shower.

The spaceship began to tremble violently, then spun rapidly, making various evasive actions.

Both Liao Yuning and Xin Zhao, who were in charge of controlling the spacecraft, did not speak any more, and the atmosphere in the cabin became very solemn.

"Found it, W155, 3500 meters." Todd said suddenly.

"W155, 3500." Liao Yuning repeated, the spacecraft swung its tail and adjusted its course.

"The situation on the ground is unknown. Xin Zhao and Todd stayed behind and kept the spacecraft hovering. Leo and I went down to find someone, and Dono responded at the door of the cabin."

After issuing the order, Liao Yuning got up and left the driver's seat.

Seeing this, Li Ao also unbuckled his seat belt, and at the same time pushed Dono who was in a daze.

The signal point is located in a gentle hilly area with very lush vegetation. Fortunately, the forest fire is still a few kilometers away.

The RS137 hovered at an altitude of more than 400 meters above the ground, and Liao Yuning and Li Ao each flew a high-altitude hovercraft to the ground.

After searching separately for a few minutes, Li Ao told Liao Yuning through the intercom system: "There is no trace of the crash of the spaceship, which is too strange. The signal shows that the rescue ship is a small supply ship, and its target should be much larger than a Transcendent. "

"You continue to go southeast—" Liao Yuning suddenly changed his words halfway: "No, there is no need to go, it is here."

Li Ao immediately turned around and flew towards Liao Yuning's position, and soon he also saw the place where the spaceship crashed.

In a small lake at the bottom of the valley, a broken corner of the supply ship was exposed, and some supplies were scattered and floating on the water.

"The cargo hold of the SS2 supply ship has been damaged, and the condition of the cockpit is unknown. I have to go down and have a look." Liao Yuning said.

Li Ao: "Tell Xin Zhao to bring the rescue boat over. There may be underwater rescue equipment on it."

Liao Yuning: "Well, I leave it to you."

Leo: "Huh?"

At the same time as Li Ao, Liao Yuning's helmet flew into his arms, and the owner of the helmet jumped off his hovercraft at the same time.

Boom, water splashes everywhere.

It took less than five seconds to enter the water, float up, draw a white line on the water surface, and board the wreck of the supply ship.

No time to marvel, Leo quickly contacted Xin Zhao, asking him to bring the spaceship over. At this time, Todd shouted from the intercom system: "The lava is advancing rapidly in your direction, and it is expected to arrive in 5 minutes!"

"This is not good." Leo muttered to himself.

Looking far away, you can see that the forest fire that was quite far away has been approaching with the lava. In the black smoke, the dark red viscous fluid is pouring down, destroying everything it goes.

This small lake below can't hold back so much magma

Turning around, Liao Yuning was no longer visible on the water.

Li Ao wanted to ask about the situation, but suddenly remembered that the other party's helmet and headset were still in his hands.

"Seismic waves are detected to be coming!" Todd yelled again through the intercom system, "The countdown is 30 seconds, you must raise the height immediately!"

"He's still in the water!" Li Ao looked around in a hurry. He kept the two floating boats at a height of about one meter above the water, but he still couldn't see Liao Yuning.

Todd: "20 seconds! Intensity Ⅷ, with a high probability of affecting the electronic information system!"

Li Ao gritted his teeth and started the engine of the hovercraft. Get ready and wait a few more seconds.

Just before Todd started the final ten-second countdown and Leo was about to give up, a lot of bubbles appeared underwater.

wow-

Liao Yuning surfaced with two people on one left and one on the right.

Li Ao quickly lowered the height of the hovercraft, picked up one person and dragged him to his seat, and then wanted to go for the second one.

"No!" Liao Yuning shouted.

With a person on his shoulders, Liao Yuning climbed into another suspension boat from the water, and his movements were as easy as walking on the ground.

Three, two, one!

The countdown in Todd's mouth is over.

Earthquakes are coming.

The originally calm lake turned into a frying pan, and the lake water and the wreckage of the transport ship rolled up, causing waves like a storm.

The two high-altitude hovercraft escaped in a thrilling manner.

When returning to the rescue ship, Leo glanced down. The lava had already flowed to the edge of the lake, but the original lake had long since disappeared, and the wreckage of the transport ship did not know where it went.

The rescued wounded were taken over by Dono, and the drenched Liao Yuning sat back in his co-pilot seat and began to assist Xin Zhao in controlling the spacecraft.

"The condition of the two wounded is not very good!" Dono's voice came from the treatment room in the back cabin, "I only have one device! What should I do!"

Liao Yuning: "Leo, you go and help, Xin Zhao, go at full speed, Todd, notify the mothership treatment center to get ready."

At this time Todd raised his hand, "Another distress signal was received, and the spacecraft was heading 120 kilometers northeast. Since we are the nearest rescue ship, the command sent us the mission."

Liao Yuning frowned, "Do you have detailed information?"

Todd tapped the light screen, "SOS Level [-], Exceeder [-], driver Mu Rong."

Liao Yuning: "Mu Rong?"

Todd: "Yeah...it's him."

In the Imperial Military Academy, there is no second Mu Rong to be found.

Liao Yuning took a deep breath: "Level three, no life-threatening... We can go back to the mothership first..."

However, it lasts more than 10 minutes, and there is no danger now, but it does not mean that there will be no danger after 10 minutes.

The crust of PD077 is being dismantled and reorganized, four to 10 minutes is enough for earth-shaking changes to occur on the surface.

The young commander is faced with tough choices he has never made.

There are two seriously injured people on board, and there is another person waiting for rescue on the dangerous ground.

"Adjust the course." Liao Yuning finally decided: "Fly to the designated coordinates."

"Understood." Xin Zhao didn't say much, and immediately adjusted the course.

Liao Yuning stood up from the driver's seat and met Todd's puzzled eyes.

"After arriving at the predetermined location, hover at 600 meters. I will drive the suspension boat to find someone. You go back to the mothership first, and then come to pick us up after sending the wounded."

"Huh?" Todd stuttered, "This is too, too risky!"

Liao Yuning: "It doesn't count."

Is it not a risk to save people like this, or is it nothing to take a risk?

Liao Yuning did not explain further.

He walked to the equipment compartment and began to inspect the hovercraft he had just used.

The hunter military high-altitude suspension boat has a limit flight altitude of 600 meters, a maximum speed of [-] kilometers per hour, and a maximum load of [-] kilograms.

It is enough to save a Mu Rong.
