Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 279: Surprise (Additional chapter for the book friend Meidun) (Fourth chapter)

Normally, when the retreat order is issued, even if not everyone withdraws, at least some mechas should start flying out.

But now I haven't seen it after waiting for a long time.

"Not sure. Let me contact the operator of the small rescue boat No. 34."

Anjie immediately made a communication call.

Soon the communication was connected, and a middle-aged man in a sergeant's uniform saluted Anjie.

"Sir!"

"Harco, what's going on inside the Nautilus? Why haven't they shown any signs of leaving even though the order to evacuate has been issued?"

Lieutenant Anjie asked quickly.

"Sir, Major Gene and many teachers are trying to stop the runaway fourth-generation bio-mech to buy time for rescue and retreat!"

Hako replied in a low voice.

"Isn't this nonsense?"

After hearing what Hako said, Fleck's face turned red with anger and his body was shaking.

Hako did not answer Fleck's words, but remained silent.

Second Lieutenant An Jie looked at Xiao Ye at a loss.

Xiao Ye just asked coldly.

"Have the two doctors and the thing been found?"

"Probably not. I don't know the specific situation."

Sergeant Hako shook his head and replied.

"It's already this late, why are you still worrying about the mission? Let them withdraw first! You don't think they can defeat the runaway fourth generation biological mechas, do you? I shouldn't have agreed to this mission in the first place!"

Fleck urged Xiao Ye with red eyes.

He is now very afraid that a large number of students and teachers will die. If this really happens, not only will he not be able to explain to the school, but more importantly, it will be a huge loss.

"I have already issued the order to retreat, but the generals are not subject to orders when they are away from the enemy. They are determined to disobey the order and rescue. We can only let them complete the rescue."

Xiao Ye said very calmly.

"you"

Fleck was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

On the other side, in a dark passage.

Su Ming controlled the Lancer to move forward continuously, and soon he reached the end of the passage and came to the huge freezer of the Nautilus.

I saw that the entire freezer was fifty meters high, with a thick silver-white metal door tightly closed. The surroundings were quiet and dead silent.

Su Ming looked at the distress signal, and found that the location of the distress signal was inside. He then controlled the mecha to move forward and try to see if he could open the sealed door of the freezer.

Unfortunately, he tried several times but couldn't open the closed door. It was obviously locked.

Su Ming controlled the mecha to take a few steps back and raised the red spear in his hand, ready to forcibly destroy the closed door.

But at this moment Su Ming suddenly noticed that there was a 2-meter-high emergency door in the lower right corner of the huge closed door.

Su Ming thought about it for a few seconds and decided to get off the mecha and try the emergency door. If he used the mecha to forcibly destroy the door, it would make a lot of noise and might attract monsters, which would put him in a passive position.

Thinking of this, Su Ming activated the floating mode of the second-generation exoskeleton armor, opened the cockpit and floated out.

He floated to the emergency door and turned the switch on the upper door with force.

click!
The emergency door opened immediately.

A large amount of cold air suddenly rushed towards me.

Su Ming floated into the freezer without any hesitation.

The entire freezer is so large that you can't see the end at a glance. At this moment, the freezer is also without power, all equipment has stopped working, and the freezer shelves and frozen goods are floating around.

Su Ming had to be extremely careful whenever he floated in.

He looked around and didn't see any figure, so Su Ming shouted.

"anyone there?"

"Have."

"We are here."

At this time, two surprised voices came.

Su Ming looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw two figures wearing third-generation mechanical armor Guardians, holding a black mechanical box in their hands, emerging from behind the floating frozen food shelves.

Su Ming looked at the third-generation mechanical armor on the two people, and his eyes moved slightly. This is not an ordinary third-generation exoskeleton armor, but a higher-end product with a higher cost, better defense, and lighter weight.

Su Ming floated over and asked politely.

"You are?"

Since they were covered in mechanical armor, Su Ming couldn't see what they looked like at all.

"I'm Dr. Li Mengqi from Xiguang Laboratory, and this is Dr. Tingli. Are you here to rescue us?"

Li Mengqi replied quickly.

"Yes, please follow me."

Su Ming exhaled slightly and said.

As he guessed, the person who was able to send out a distress signal in such a confined space and at such a long distance must have used advanced equipment and was not a simple person. Therefore, there was a high probability that he was the target of this rescue.

"it is good!"

Li Mengqi and Tingli responded quickly.

The three of them floated outside, and Su Ming asked curiously.

"Two doctors, why are you hiding here?"

"Alas! We came here to avoid Chirami. After all, there are not many people here, and before the power outage, the temperature of the cold storage was low, and it would be difficult for Chirami to find us if we were hiding inside."

Tingli replied calmly.

"I see."

Su Ming secretly admired that these two doctors were extremely rational and intelligent.

Not long after, Su Ming led two people out of the emergency door, and the third-generation gun knight came into view.

"Let's get on the mecha!"

Su Ming said to the two of them.

"it is good!"

Li Mengqi and the others' eyes lit up when they saw the third-generation Mecha Lancer and they quickly responded.

Soon the three of them entered the Lancer's cockpit.

Su Ming sat in the driver's seat and closed the cockpit. Compared with the second-generation Iron Guard, the cockpit of the Lancer was very spacious, so it was not crowded.

Li Mengqi and Tingli could easily stand on both sides of Su Ming, but they needed to hold on to the driving chair.

"Alright? Let's go!"

Su Ming controlled the Lancer to quickly return along the same route.

At this time, Li Mengqi felt a little relieved, and she immediately asked Su Ming.

"Sir, what is your name?"

"My name is Su Ming, and I'm not an officer. I'm just a student."

Su Ming replied calmly.

"student?"

Li Mengqi and Tingli were also stunned, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"I am a student at the Imperial Court Academy. When our ship passed by here, we accepted the search and rescue mission."

Su Ming explained simply.

"I see. Then you must be a senior student, right?"

Li Mengqi thought for a moment and asked, but she felt something was not right. Senior students at the Royal Court Academy generally had military ranks.

"First grade."

Su Ming replied calmly.

"what?"

Li Mengqi couldn't control herself for a moment and made a surprised sound.

"Is there a problem?"

Su Ming replied very calmly.

"No, I'm just a little surprised. How is Mr. Su Ming doing outside now?"

Li Mengqi quickly shook her head.
