An intact battleship?

Where did such a complete warship come from?

Is the Earth Federation in this world so rich? They just casually left a perfectly good warship on the ground without doing anything? Aren't they afraid of hitting the flowers and plants?

Now this battleship is like a shy little beauty waiting for Xiao Yun to show his cards and take her down. As long as Xiao Yun gives an order, No. 1 will probably start the battleship immediately and find a way to bring the ship back to Zhou Yu.

but……

"Give up for now after checking it once."

This was the final instruction Xiao Yun gave to No. 1.

There is no way. A battleship is just a battleship. Even if there is such a battleship, it can never be the opponent of the Jupiter Lizard's 1,800 battleships. If such a big thing can be started now, it can immediately turn into fireworks and explode.

If Xiao Yun had decisive combat power at hand, he wouldn't mind turning the ship into a means of transportation, but he didn't have such a thing now. If he drove it back, the noise would be too loud and he would definitely get into trouble. It would be better to pretend that he didn't see the ship and make plans when he had the ability.

Xiao Yun's arrangement is quite reasonable and logical.

However, when Xiao Yun and his group finally returned to their destination after walking for a long time, No. 1 had already led his people back to the research institute in advance. As for the reason...

Although they did not bring the battleship back, No. 1 and his men did drive back two aircraft from the battleship's hangar.

These two aircraft should be very ordinary cargo aircraft, but they are just right for Xiao Yun and his team at the moment.

As long as it can fly and be loaded, it is enough to meet these two requirements.

The first thing they did after returning to their base was to ask No. 8 to settle those survivors who looked dying, and then Xiao Yun asked No. 1 about the situation of the battleship.

"There were almost no signs of fighting on the battleship, but we did find some small beetle drones after we went in. There were some signs of fighting inside the ship, but there were almost no corpses."

Number One thought for a moment and said, "All systems of the warship are shut down. I simply checked the ship's records. It seems that the warship was directly transported from Earth to Mars through that big green pepper. Many people must have died immediately without any preparation."

"The remaining people also resisted the attack of the small drones, but they were all captured in the end. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why there are fewer traces of battle and no bodies were found. In particular, the bridge was clean and nothing was left. Even all the systems of the battleship were actively shut down."

"Prisoner." Xiao Yun touched his chin and said, "Are you sure?"

Number One pointed to the two transport aircraft brought back from outside. Xiao Yun turned around and nodded immediately: "If they gave up escaping voluntarily, they wouldn't have left these things behind."

Xiao Yun thought for a moment and said, "If it was just for the purpose of killing people, there would be no need to make such a big fuss and take the people away, but is it possible that there were only a few people on the boat in the first place?"

Number One: "We checked the living facilities, and the number of bodies does not match the number on the ship."

Xiao Yun nodded slightly: "That is to say, there should be a prisoner camp on Mars that was established by the Jupiter Lizards specifically to house these prisoners. There may even be more poor people imprisoned there? I see. We can't worry about these things now."

"The most important thing now is that we must have some self-protection ability. However, the next step of the investigation can focus on the Jupiter Lizard and find out where this prisoner camp is."

Number One nodded: "Understood."

Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "Arrange people to take turns to guard the people brought back, and remind Mei Yi and the others not to expose their ears in front of these people."

"I'll arrange it."

Anyway, it is difficult to do anything under the current circumstances. If the Jupiter Lizards have built a refugee camp on Mars, it indirectly means that they may have a place on this planet that can be used as a base camp. If the Jupiter Lizards build a base on Mars, it will be a trouble for the Earth Federation in this world, but it will be a good thing for Xiao Yun and others.

This means that as long as Xiao Yun and his team find the location of the base, they can easily sneak into it. Once they sneak into a place like that, it will be like a fish in water.

But if the Jupiter Lizard does not have such a base, but instead hangs in the sky or in the universe in the form of a cluster of battleships, then Xiao Yun and his team will find it truly difficult to act.

So this is probably the best news that No. 1 brought back this time.

For the next period of time, the guarding work was done by No. 1, No. 4 and No. 5, while Xiao Yun and the others went to have a good rest.

After resting for a whole day and night, Xiao Yun finally came up with the idea of ​​contacting the survivors.

Perhaps because they had a day's peaceful rest, the survivors who were brought back looked much more energetic than the day before. Although there was still a hint of numbness on their faces, there was a little more hope in their eyes.

After knowing that the leader of the team that led them out of this place was going to ask them some questions, the dozen or so survivors themselves selected two representatives to stand up.

Then the two representatives, a man and a woman, were brought in front of Xiao Yun. The man was in his thirties and the woman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight. They both looked weathered. However, after arriving here, they changed into clean clothes and took a shower to make themselves clean. This was much better than their previous situation where they had to sleep in the open, skip meals, and hide everywhere like rats.

After just one day of living like this, the dozen or so survivors no longer wanted to go back to their previous situation.

Having someone to protect you and provide you with food, and being able to stay in a safe place with water and electricity without having to run around, such a life may have been commonplace more than a year ago, but now it has become what these people dream of most.

Therefore, the dozen or so survivors who were brought back behaved very submissively when facing Xiao Yun and his group of mysterious people. They did not do anything that might anger Xiao Yun and his group, and they behaved well when they were brought in front of Xiao Yun.

In front of outsiders, Xiao Yun needs to strictly abide by the new regulations set for him. He must either wear combat uniform or a mask. Those are not decorative items that can be recognized at a glance whether you wear them or not. Instead, they can completely cover Xiao Yun's entire face, so no one can recognize who is underneath.

The full-coverage mask should be called a face mask. It covers nearly 80% of the face. It is made of special material and is light and thin but bulletproof and breathable. Once the mask is put on, even the hair will turn into other colors. The transformer is running synchronously, so you can't recognize the person anyway.

As for the others, there is no such thing as too many considerations. It doesn't matter whether No. 1 and the others meet anyone or not. As long as they are not related to Xiao Yun and Shuguang, it doesn't matter what happens.

When the two representatives saw Xiao Yun, they just looked at him timidly. Xiao Yun had never had any contact or communication with these people before. It was always No. 8 who was communicating with them. Moreover, everyone was fully armed and looked ferocious. This group of people didn't have the courage to take the initiative to talk to him, and they just "passively" negotiated the terms with No. 8.

The man forced a flattering smile on his face, which looked fake and unfamiliar, and he began to greet Xiao Yun tremblingly: "Hello, Chief. Thank you for saving us. If you have any instructions, please tell us. We will do our best to meet any of your requests."

Xiao Yun nodded, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was full of magnetism and masculine charm, making people feel quite reliable. It was completely different from Xiao Yun's usual unremarkable and frivolous voice. It gave people a feeling of calmness and trustworthiness.

Xiao Yun placed his hands on the table and supported his chin: "Introduce yourselves."

"Yes, yes, yes." The man rubbed his hands and said quickly, "I am Ernst Rudy, a former sheriff of the Utopia Colony. This is Irene, a former employee of Neil Heavy Industries. Irene, why don't you tell the chief what you used to do here?"

Being a woman, she was able to live in such a terrible environment for such a long time. Although Irene was a little afraid of people like Xiao Yun in her heart, she was definitely brave. At least she was not a delicate woman, otherwise she would not have been alive until now.

After calming herself down, Irene quickly spoke: "Hello, Chief. I'm Irene. I used to be an employee of the Neilga Heavy Industries Laboratory, responsible for the technical development of new warships. I'm very familiar with this research institute. Please feel free to tell me if there's anything you need me to do."

Xiao Yun nodded slightly: "My people should have communicated with you. We are helping each other. We provide you with shelter, food and water, and you need to help us do everything you can."

Irene and Ernst nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, that adult has already told us."

Xiao Yun asked: "Erin, how much do you know about the phase transfer energy system?"

Irene said quickly, "I know this. Our research institute was established because we discovered things related to these areas. Moreover, the institute's database contains complete technical information. I know all the relevant principles in this area."

"Very good. I want to know if we can manufacture it with the existing equipment and resources of this institute. If we need to make adjustments to miniaturization, how much help can you provide?"

After all, she is just a young technician. Irene may be considered a good employee in this research institute but she is definitely not the best one. Xiao Yun's question made Irene wipe the sweat from her forehead. When she raised her hand, Xiao Yun noticed a special pattern on the other's hand.

However, Xiao Yun only used the records of the mask to amplify and take relevant photos, and did not take the initiative to ask.

Irene hesitated: "It may take me some time to sort it out systematically before I can be sure."

This answer made Xiao Yun understand the other party's level at once. He shook his head and said to Irene, "My people will tell you what to do. The people who assist me will just do their job well. As long as you can help us do our job safely, we will definitely guarantee your safety and provide you with enough food."

"Sheriff Ernst, if you know of other survivors or know anything about the Jupiter lizards, please tell us. Just tell us everything you know. The same goes for other people. I need people with technical skills."

Ernst nodded repeatedly: "I will tell everyone what the leader said. I just happen to have something to report to the leader about the Jupiter lizards."

"explain."

Ernst said quickly, "I found that the Jupiter lizards had captured many survivors and sent them to an unknown place. Among those who were taken away, there were many technical workers from various companies. If we can find them, it will definitely be helpful to the leader."

Xiao Yun asked: "Are there any clues?"

Ernst: "I only know that the Utopia colony is probably approaching and heading southwest, but I don't know where it is exactly."

Xiao Yun nodded gently: "Okay, I understand. Do you know where I can find enough food?"

"This..." Ernst hesitated for a moment and said, "If the port was still there, we should be able to find a lot of food."

"Got it. Number One, take them down."

Number One nodded and signaled the two to follow him and leave. After they left, Xiao Yun changed his posture, supported his head and started thinking.

It cannot be said that Ernst and Irene were completely useless, but they were certainly of little use. The two guys were of the same caliber and did not provide anything valuable. The only useful information was that there might be something in the southwest direction.

Southwest direction?

Xiao Yun thought about it for a moment and said directly: "Mei San, go over there and see if you can find anything."

"Okay Boss, I'll go now."

"If you find anything, don't act rashly."

"clear."

"Prisoner camp or ancient ruins?"

Mei San didn't bring back any news for a long time, but No. 1 did get a lot of other information provided by the survivors. More than a dozen people lived together for a long time, so the information they could provide was similar and had no difference. At most, it could be used for comparison.

With a dozen more mouths to feed, food consumption will be much greater, but fortunately, although these people cannot provide much useful information, they can bring a lot of help to No. 8's next work.

Even if not all of these people are technical workers, they can still provide a lot of help to No. 8.

This is because all these people have something called NANO-MACHINE, a nanorobot injected into the body that allows these people to easily accomplish things that normal people cannot do.
