doomsday exile

The strangely shaped robot stood on the ice field, and the clusters of blue lights gathered on its body went out one by one.

"...The residual particles have been cleaned up, and the application is to be separated from the carrier."

Yan Long manipulated the robot to turn around slowly and walk back with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The 300-meter radius is covered with pits of different depths, just like the surface of the moon.

After the battle, the communication was restored. Lu Di heard the voice of Lieutenant Colonel He from the communicator in the mechanical exoskeleton: "Can you clean up the battlefield?"

The footsteps of the robot stopped.

"can."

Due to this special state, Lu Di heard Yan Long's voice as if it sounded in his head.

"Huh? Do you want to fill in here?" Lu Di was puzzled, and the robot looked down at the ground simultaneously.

The largest pit is two meters in diameter and half a meter deep.

It looks scary, but a blizzard can cover up almost everything.

"The Skadi station has lost contact, and it will be discovered by other scientific research stations in half a day at most...There has been no strong snowstorm in the past two days. Although the Vostok area is large, other search and rescue teams may pass by here. .”

Although Yan Long explained, Lu Di still didn't understand.

The blue light shines on the robot body again.

Yan Long calculated for a few minutes, and then directed Lu Di to affect the resonance of the strings, and use the strong wind to draw scattered ice, snow, and ice to refill the pothole.

"Water some more and let them refreeze."

Chen Yan and others will need to assist in the latter part.

Fortunately, the most difficult part has been done, and everyone will work together, and soon there will be nothing unusual here.

Yan Long used the robotic arm to drag the stalled snowmobile, and hung it on the back of his car with a traction rope.

"This car..."

Lu Di couldn't help but glanced at the snowmobile with a completely deformed front.

The occupants of the car were already dead, and there was no point in prying open the door.

"At that time, it will be handed over to the Earth Federation. If it is abandoned on the ice field like this, there will be some troubles." Yan Long said.

Lu Di hesitated and asked: "Can't you report about Delta and the spiritual body?"

"That's not true. There are two main concerns. One is that not many people will believe the truth, and the other is that if the car is abandoned here, the location of the battle cannot be hidden."

Yan Long said softly, "Delta has more than one spiritual body, we try not to leave any clues for them to understand us, and... we just violated at least seven Antarctic International Conventions."

"what?"

Lu Di was stunned.

Yan Long said helplessly: "Antarctica is an internationally recognized land shared by mankind. It can only be used for scientific research. This is the basis of the Antarctic Convention."

"And then?" Lu Di suddenly reacted, and blurted out, "Can't you use dangerous weapons here?"

"Yes, no weapons, fighting in Antarctica."

"But... this is not a friction between countries, it should be an accidental attack, right?" Lu Di racked his brains to think of the reason, "Can't self-defense work?"

Yan Long hummed steadily, and then added: "But according to the Antarctic Convention, carrying weapons like howitzers to Antarctica is an illegal act. In order to avoid being caught by some people, finishing work still needs to be done."

"Ok."

Lu Di understood a little bit.

"In short, it's a sideline. Pulse bombs are not on the list of weapons that destroy the natural environment. Military mechanical exoskeletons are banned, but..."

Yan Long lowered his head and clenched his fist, and the robot followed suit, then he raised his head and said, "But our carrier doesn't count, because no matter who checks, it's just an 'exoskeleton', which only has the ability to move and has no load. Any weapon system."

Lu Di: "..."

Think about it.

The output of force depends entirely on the high-dimensional level observed in the combined state of him and Yan Long, and uses the resonance of the "string" to strike enemies who also touch this area.

The core computing module is also an energy converter, which can be disassembled (Yan Long), and the force output system has long legs to run (Lu Di). This mechanical exoskeleton is a strangely shaped and designed movable shell.

"Okay, I understand this set of words." Lu Di nodded heavily.

The protection of Antarctica is the basic principle, we do not use weapons that destroy the natural environment, and we also take this very seriously.

The specification of the howitzer is a bit troublesome, but the warheads we use are pulse bombs that are safe and harmless, and the gun mounts and empty barrels are hidden as much as possible.

As for mechanical exoskeletons, as long as there is no weapon system, it is not military!

what?

It is suspicious that the mechanical exoskeleton is not used for scientific research. Isn't it a prosthetic?

Yan Long: "..."

I always feel that I have taught Lu Di badly.

The robot walked to the side of the snowmobile, its eyes blinking three times in a row.

"The carrier is being shut down."

Just as Lu Di was about to ask Yan Long how to leave, he felt a gentle force "push" him out.

It feels weird.

Lu Di floated outside, feeling as if he had lost the heat source, and his body felt empty for a while.

He reorganized his body a few times unsuitably, and he finally got better.

"How about it?"

Lu Di turned around and saw Yan Long who had also left the mechanical exoskeleton carrier.

Yan Long's figure is a bit blurred, some energy particles are unstable, and tiny electric arcs appear. It seems that he has not yet adapted to this conversion mode.

"I'm fine." Lu Di decided not to tell his true feelings, he walked around Yan Long, "Do you need a new carrier?"

While speaking, Chen Yan jumped out of the car holding two metal balls.

"I want to take a break." Yan Long floated back to the metal ball, motioning Lu Di to squat down too, to prevent the undiminished energy particles from affecting the equipment in the car.

Change back to two balls.

Chen Yan and the others checked the surrounding area again, started the vehicle and continued to drive in the direction of Skadi Station.

Lu Di saw Lieutenant Colonel He take out a sealed black box from the mechanical exoskeleton with a serious expression in the ball.

"What is that? The legendary black box?"

Lu Di didn't remember having this thing just now.

"The residual energy particles collected belong to that spirit body, using the defective product preservation technology found on Lin Beitang." Yan Long replied.

"What are you going to do?"

Lu Di was startled. The last time Richard blew himself up, he almost poured energy into his face.

This time was different, they almost dismantled the spiritual body piece by piece, without giving the other party a chance to self-destruct.

Last time, it couldn't be said that Lu Di swallowed Richard. What Lu Di swallowed was the violent energy caused by the other party's suicide.

Even if these mental bodies of Delta are enemies, the scum of making wind and rain, Lu Di still resents devouring the same kind.It's not how high his ideological realm is, but subconsciously believes that the "powerless" brothers and sisters are of the same kind, and Yan Long, the man-made energy particle state, is also of the same kind.

Just like human beings think that some people are inferior to pigs and dogs, and should be killed and beaten, but they definitely don't want to eat them.

This is a subconscious principle and the basis of "being a human being" - it is normal if you can abide by it, and there will be problems if you can't do it!

Lu Di believes that as long as a normal person's transformed mental body has not been brainwashed by Delta, it is impossible to have the idea of ​​devouring each other. After all, everyone's thinking comes from the body, and the body is an ordinary person.

If the body is weird... then he didn't say anything!

"Don't worry, it's not for you to eat, nor for me."

In fact, this group of energy particles that are completely dispersed cannot be eaten.

Just like the body after death is just an empty shell, after the dominant consciousness of the spiritual body collapses, these energy particles will dissipate soon. If they are not sealed in time, they will soon become ordinary particles without any difference as time goes by. , and can no longer even find them.

Yan Long said in a deep voice: "Professor Xia wants to analyze these energy particles and see the difference between us."

"Speaking of differences..."

Lu Di thought for a while, and said hesitantly, "I think the spirit body I met this time is a bit strange."

The black spiritual body that failed to ambush but fell into the trap was angry and full of killing intent, but Lu Di didn't "hear" the opponent's curse.

"Although, it is impossible for the spiritual body to be like Richard who likes to boast and take the initiative to reveal information, but this one is too silent, it seems that he has no mouth... oh no, no brain... It's not right, either. He has emotions and thoughts, and he will set up an ambush."

Lu Di couldn't figure it out.

Richard is a foreigner, and it is estimated that his mother tongue is not English, but Lu Di can communicate with him.

Because these conversations are not sent out by mouth, but by thinking and brain waves.

So even if the subject is dumb before the transformation of a spiritual body, as long as he/she can think, he/she can speak.

"It can't be an alien, can it?" Lu Di muttered.

"Compared to aliens, it is better to ask, can races other than humans produce spiritual bodies?"

Yan Long's soul asked Lu Di into deep thought.

can you?

Many animals have brains and brain waves.

Theory is fine, but their brains are underdeveloped.

"Hiss, you wouldn't say that this thing is transformed from a straight-shelled nautilus, right?" Lu Di gasped.

"No, it knows what a car is, and it will hide on it... The straight-shelled nautilus from the Paleozoic era is not that smart."

Yan Long shook his head, and the metal ball also swayed.

Chen Yan quickly went to help, fearing that the metal ball would roll to the ground.

As soon as he turned his head, he heard Lu Diqiu say regretfully: "As soon as that spiritual body emerged from the car, I beat him up, beat him up, and I didn't see his true face... As for the subsequent changes... , Richard is also a monster after fully releasing his energy, so this cannot be used as evidence."

There are still too many mysteries about Delta.

"It's one kilometer away from Skadi Station, everyone is on alert!"

The two metal balls stopped talking, everyone looked at the radar chart nervously, and there was only the sound of instruments humming in the car.

Slowly, a three-dimensional image appeared on the screen, including ice, terrain and ground buildings.

The Skadi station after the attack was displayed in front of everyone in this form.

Buildings collapsed like ruins.

The lake water gushing from the house touched the room temperature outside and immediately began to freeze.

It's just the existence of pressure that makes the lake water continue to flow out, making a small part of the building seem to be soaked in water, and the other part has been "stretched" beyond recognition by the expanding ice. Objects and collapsed walls are directly frozen in the ice. It is more terrible than earthquake collapse, and it is more difficult to dig.

"The biowave detection responded! There is a survivor in the living area!"
