star hunter

Xi Lin and Xi Ying followed the gray cat into the building.***

There are lighting equipment inside, and the lighting will automatically turn on in the areas Xilin and the others pass through, and will be turned off one after another after Xilin and the others have passed completely.

It can be seen that the original owner of this place was more energy-saving.

Not far after walking in, they saw an elevator. As they approached, the elevator door opened automatically. Gray Cat walked in first, and Xilin followed suit without thinking any more.

The elevator doors closed and began to descend.

After they took the elevator down in Xilin, all the lighting equipment in the building that emerged from the ground was extinguished, leaving only the protruding hill-like lighting in the area outside. In addition to the sounds caused by the Sixth Squadron's aircraft and fighter planes,

Outside, there was only the slight rustle of the wind.

Xiaoton and others were very surprised. If they had not seen those monsters before, they would have suspected that there were no higher life forms here. After searching so many places, they could not even see the shadows of those monsters, as if they had evaporated.

"Did they go underground?" a technician said.

"It's very possible, but the detector cannot detect the situation under the ground. No matter how it detects, it is inconsistent with the actual situation." Another technician looked at the scanned picture of the detector and was a little distressed.

"These instruments cannot be used, so we have to rely on the people sent out to find them."

Xiao Dun did not let the team members go down for the time being. After all, there are unknown dangers below, and the environment of this planet is very harmful to the human body. It is very inconvenient for people wearing protective clothing to move. If those monsters come out to attack all of a sudden, they will

It was tragic, so Xiaoden couldn't afford to take the risk, so he could only hope that Xilin could send the news as soon as possible.

Xilin followed the gray cat out of the elevator. There were passages in several directions in front of him, and the elevator was at the intersection of these passages.

The gray cat's goal was very clear. He didn't hesitate after getting out of the elevator. He didn't explain too much to Xilin and just kept walking in one direction.

Looking at the construction of these passages, Xilin did not think that these were super-civilized buildings. In fact, although these passages were considered solid and reliable, in terms of technology alone, they were not more advanced than some bases in the Star Alliance.

Turning left and right. Xilin saw some individual rooms, conference rooms, large restaurants, and large auditoriums. But he did not stop. The gray cat was running faster and faster now, and it seemed that his mood was also changing.

The son got better and better, running and screaming at the same time.

"Sigma! I'm coming! Come out and greet me!"

Sigma?

Who is Sigma?

Xilin looked ahead. There were no people or animals.

"Goodbye. Nice to see you."

As an excited voice sounded, an opening suddenly opened in the wall of the passage ahead, and a robot came out of it.

If you were to see this robot outside the Z-sector, on the streets of those planets in the prosperous star areas of the tenth trade district, people would definitely make fun of it as an antique, old, ugly, and outdated. However, this robot that appears here

.But it made Xilin feel special.

Just looking at the appearance, this robot is relatively retro, not like Xiying, a robot that prefers human appearance and smooth movements. This robot does not even have legs. Under the cylindrical torso is a hemisphere that can roll its head in any direction.

The head is also a hemisphere connected to the torso. A blue strip of light sweeps around, and this blue strip is probably its "eye".

What's so special about this robot named Sigma. It has a head and feet that look like a tumbler?

Tone, movement, and the change of the blue bar when speaking.

The tone is very natural, exactly the same as the tone of human speech. When it said that it was happy to see the gray cat, the blue light turned into a wave shape, which should mean the same as the human smile, and... this cheating guy came over.

The two hands are still dancing up and down, just like the wings of a baby bird flapping when it runs!

The gray cat was so happy that he circled around Sigma, while Sigma was circling in circles, making Xilin feel dizzy.

"Let me ask you two, why don't you two take a break for a while?" Xilin said.

Sigma raised his eyes and looked at Xi Lin and Xi Ying behind Xi Lin, then said "Wow" and moved his arms several times for Xi Lin and Xi Ying. (_)

"The same kind of breath!" Sigma was so happy that the blue strips on his face turned into many big wavy lines.

Xilin's mouth twitched. This robot seemed to have... a personality similar to that of a child.

Apparently the gray cat had been communicating with this robot before.

After circling Xilin and Xiying several times, Sigma stopped in front of Xilin, and the blue line of light turned into a question mark.

"You are human? But why do I feel the aura of the same kind?" Sigma said.

The gray cat jumped on Sigma's hemispherical head and stood firmly, briefly introduced Xilin and Xiying, and said: "Xilin is an alternative, but you just need to classify him as one of your own, don't worry too much."

"Okay." Sigma classified Gray Cat, Xilin and Xiying as his own, and then said to Xilin: "The air composition and environment here have changed, so Xilin, you can take off the protective clothing outside.

.”

Hearing what Sigma said, Xiying didn't object. She had already measured the current temperature, air pressure, humidity, and air composition. It was indeed in line with human survival standards and there was no need to wear protective clothing.

This change only started when Sigma classified Xilin into the category of "one of his own". The composition of the environment changed very quickly, completely changing within a few seconds.

Xilin took off his protective clothing and took a breath of air. The contents of oxygen and carbon dioxide were both good and in a very standard ratio.

"Come here, I'll take you to visit this base!" Sigma waved his hand and walked forward, no, he walked away.

Xilin was very curious about how it rolled, but when he watched it climb a flight of stairs, the exposed hemisphere representing the foot turned into a tooth shape similar to that of the stairs, and then he understood when it climbed up one step at a time.

Hemispheres can switch states.

The underground base is very large. Xilin has heard Gray Cat mention this before, but unlike other bases, the equipment here is very complete, just like a complete underground world, and there is even a large artificial lake.

"Sigma, have you always been here alone?" Xilin asked.

Sigma's voice was suddenly filled with sadness, "Yes, it's so boring. I can only enter the hibernation period, and I won't wake up unless someone else comes here."

"What about those weird... non-human things outside? We saw them before we came here."

"Oh, what are you talking about, Lovage and the others? They are a guardian beast group, guarding this base. When there are no outsiders on the planet, they will enter a dormant state. Once outsiders invade, they will wake up and attack the outsiders."

"Lovage?" Xilin was a little confused. He had never heard of this word and didn't know what it meant.

"Lovage means 'knight', and the owner created them to guard this base like knights."

"Which star region is the language of?" Xilin asked.

"It's not the language here, it's the language of my hometown." Sigma's tone became even more sad.

"You are not a member of the Covenant...a robot?"

"no."

"Where is your master? Neither?"

"The master is. The master brought me here. Later, the master and the others left and asked me to stay here and guard him." The blue strips of light on Sigma's face directly turned into two rows of water droplets, and he said with a cry: "

I was left behind by Little Miss and the others. In fact, I was very reluctant to leave Little Miss and the others. The master said that I would not be able to leave the base to find them unless the 'shortcut' was opened one day..."

"shortcut"!

Orilo's cage, the "shortcut" to rebirth! It's the type of the two star chart fragments in Xilin's hand.

Sure enough, Sigma's master is the one who left Orilo behind.

Sigma is like an unsuspecting child. Whatever Xilin asks, it answers. The main reason is that it knows how to be a cat, and then it classifies Xilin and the others as "one of its own", so that it can answer almost all questions.

It didn't take long for Xilin to know almost all the information he wanted to know.

"Xilin, Sigma said we can use this base!" The gray cat jumped onto Xilin's shoulder and said.

"Really?" Xilin looked at Sigma.

"Yes, the master said. As long as I approve you, you can use this base. I approve you!"

Listening to Sigma's tone, it's more like the excitement of finding a playmate in the future.

"Your master, won't they come?"

"If I don't come back, I won't use this again. This was originally the master's old base, but it was later moved."

According to Sigma, the location of its owner's relocated base is the large planet currently guarded by the army.

"Do you want a base? Do you want it?"

Sigma's blue light directly turned into two large circles, and he looked at Sigma expectantly.

Definitely! This abandoned base will allow the Sixth Squadron to save a lot of energy and property! And according to Sigma’s current statement, this base has been in a stagnant state of ownerlessness.

"One thing is bad, the environment of this planet is not good, it is impossible to stay underground forever, right?" Xilin thought for a while and said with some regret.

"That's okay!" Sigma circled around Xilin and stretched out a finger, "First of all, this base was originally on the ground, but later I wanted to fall asleep, so I let the base sink to the ground."

"So, your master used to build the base on the ground, and then you 'sinked' the base all by yourself? How did you do such a big project?"

"Because it's boring. Being idle is idle anyway," Sigma said.

These words of Xilin really sound full of vicissitudes of life. The robot left alone, an old base, is really a story full of inspirational style.

The blue light on Sigma's surface turned into waves again, and his voice was full of joy, and he stretched out a finger: "Second question, this planet has been transformed for a long time, and the environment can be adjusted. The reason why the base is

One reason the construction covers such a wide area is that it can affect the environment and air composition of the entire planet."

"Can it be changed?" Xilin said in surprise.

"Of course, within an hour, the atmosphere, air composition and air pressure can be changed. This was the case before. Before the master left, everyone was running around outside." The blue light on the Sigma surface floated diagonally upward,

It's like remembering.

Xilin touched his chin and raised his fingers towards Sigma.

"What? What are you thinking about?" Sigma immediately leaned forward.

Xilin discussed some matters with Sigma and asked Sigma not to tell anyone about the "shortcut" for the time being. After they had made a good confession and everything was ready, Xilin asked Sigma to start adjusting the base.

outside the ground.

Inside the aircraft, Shorten stared at the scene on the planet's surface displayed on the screen.

It is desolate and has no trace of popularity. There is water on the planet, and there are low-level animals and plants. These low-level animals and plants really don't add much vitality, and the number is still very small. It makes people look lonely and miserable.

Just as Xiaoton was thinking about something, the communication with Xilin was connected.

"How's it going?" Xiaoton asked.

"You will know later, captain. Now let everyone ascend to the high-altitude area. Do not leave anyone near the ground. I will show you the harvest of this trip in two minutes."

Xilin was very sure. Although Xiaoton was confused, he suppressed these doubts for the time being and let everyone rise to the sky. After getting ready, everyone stared at the situation below. Everyone on the starship outside was also in unison.

Watch the picture displayed on the screen without blinking.

The protruding luminous hills on the planet's ground became brighter and brighter, and then the ground began to tremble again, shaking more violently than before, and the surface rocks and sand were lifted up.

Then, the base that had been left behind for more than a thousand years and hidden underground for hundreds of years finally came to light.

Looking at the endless majestic buildings popping up, everyone in the Sixth Squadron was in a state of sluggishness.

The emergent base gradually rises. The area near the ground is completely shrouded in sand. But above the sand, the high-rise buildings of the base already act like a leader, leading the underground parts to rise upward.

An hour later, as the sand layer gradually dissipated, under the illumination of the hill-like protrusions of light, everyone finally saw this underground giant. It was like an earth dragon emerging from the earth, and it was as solemn as a military base.

fortress.

"Xi...Xilin..." Xiaoton's voice was a little difficult. He seemed to understand what was going to happen next, and his heart rate accelerated unconsciously. He had not regained his composure for a while.

"Wait a minute, captain, we'll talk later."

what else?!

Xiaoton and others almost held their breath and stared straight at the situation on the ground.

For a minute, nothing.

Five minutes passed and still nothing.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes...

"Xilin, what's going on? There's no movement?" Xiaoton finally couldn't help asking, it was rare for the captain of the Sixth Squadron to be so restless.

Before Xilin could answer, some technicians on the starship told Shorten extremely excitedly: "Captain, the atmosphere of this planet is thicker! According to the monitoring data sent back by the detector, this planet is changing from c-level habitability to

Transformation to Class B livability!”

In other words, this behemoth that emerged from the ground can make the planet a B-level habitable state, or it can also become a C-level livable state.

Who has such a big hand?

Thumping, thumping...

Xiaoton heard his heartbeat and hot blood flow.

Finally, Xiao Dun heard Xilin's voice.

"Captain, the transformation is complete. There is no need to wear protective clothing now." Following Xilin's voice, a flat landing field appeared in the base, which was simply a temporary port.

"well!"

Shorten let the aircraft land and walked out of the aircraft first without wearing protective clothing.

The purification of the base has calmed down the sand and dust. Now the proportions of various components in the air are at standard proportions, and the temperature is only slightly colder. For hunters like Shoten and others, it is extremely ordinary.

Xilin was already waiting at an entrance to the landing site. After seeing Shorten, he briefly talked about the base, and then introduced Sigma in a grand manner.

After Xiaoton listened to Xilin's explanation, the first thing he said to Sigma was: "Are you willing to join our Sixth Squadron?"

Then there was a series of kidnapping remarks, which made the blue stripes of light on Sigma's surface turn into dizzy circles.

Sigma didn't know what the right decision was, so he asked his most trusted gray cat, "Farewell, are you also a member of the Sixth Vanguard Squadron?"

"Of course, I am still the core combat power!" Gray Cat said while standing on Xilin's shoulder and looking up.

What a fucking fighting force! Kari pouted not far away.

However, the reaction of Kari and others is obviously not the scope of Sigma's consideration. It only adopts the opinions of "its own people". As everyone knows, the gray cat was also abducted by Xilin.

Looking at this fortress covering one-fifth of the entire planet, everyone in the Sixth Squadron went crazy.

What a blessing!

The home team allows each squadron to move freely, make decisions and build its own temporary stronghold. This is also a test of the capabilities of each squadron. Every once in a while, people from the home team will go to the temporary stronghold of each squadron to inspect.

Shoten is already looking forward to the arrival of the home team. I wonder what the home team's expressions will be when they see this magnificent scene?

Sigma is extremely happy for the people from the Sixth Squadron to move here, but the first thing that needs to be resolved is the compatibility issue.

Lovage is a guardian beast with chips installed in its body, so Sigma needs to rectify the information on these chips so that both parties can live in harmony.

When the base was still underground, their food was the stored nutrient solution provided in the underground base. The storage solution was limited, so they would burrow into the ground and enter a dormant state as long as no one was around. Now that there are people, in order to better

To get along with each other, the people of the Sixth Squadron did not hesitate to spend a lot of food to get along with these guardian beasts.

Now that we have decided to set up a temporary stronghold on this planet, the first thing to do is to build a satellite array defense network.

But those things have nothing to do with the gray cat. The gray cat is very confused now. It noticed something: Xilin, Xiying, and Sigma all start with "西", so isn't it being excluded? No, it can't be too different, but isn't it?

Do you want to change it to Xihubie Road? It sounds so ugly!! To be continued...
