Chapter 978: Defection

"I don't think I need to explain too much, let you see what's in the box and you'll convince yourself of your own." After Ella finished speaking, she pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes stared at Sophia opposite.

Sophia's heart seemed to have gone through an extremely fierce struggle, and after a few seconds, she nodded vigorously as if she had made up her mind: "Okay, I can agree to your request...... However, the intruder, and the girl, must get me under control first. ”

"No way!" Ella refused.

"I think so." However, before Sophia could speak, Qi Lin took a step forward, withdrew from the pistol magazine, and then took out several guns and more than a dozen daggers and scalpels hidden in various places from his body, and put these things on the ground one by one.

"If that's the price of trust, I think it's very reasonable." Qi Lin glanced at Sophia, then at Ella, and said slowly.

"Let her put this on too." Sophia pointed to Ayakui, who was standing behind Qi Lin, and one of his subordinates brought a strangely shaped helmet to Qi Lin, and at the same time took away the weapons that Qi Lin had placed on the ground.

"What is this?"

"The device used to suppress the ability of the psychic ability can delay the activation rate of the psychic ability to the greatest extent, and will detonate the explosives inside the helmet on its own after detecting signs of mental power activation - of course, the safety and reliability of this device is second to none, as long as she does not use the ability, there will be absolutely no explosion, and it will not have any adverse effects on the ability itself." Sophia said.

"If your men can deal with the guards inside, then I have no problem." This time, Ayakui took the initiative to stand up, took the helmet from Qi Lin's hand, and put it on her head.

"Good, but I suggest you don't remove the suppression device without my permission, because I can also remotely control the device after it detonates on its own." Sophia shook a metal tube in her hand at Qi Lin and Ayakui, and from what she said, it was not difficult to understand that this metal tube should be the helmet's detonator.

"We've got your request, so now it's your turn, right?" Qi Lin said.

"Group A, guard the entrance of the passage, no one is allowed to enter without my order, Group B, prepare to break into the penalty area." Sophia did not break her word, but quickly gave two orders to her subordinates, except for the group of soldiers who were guarding her, the others immediately divided into two groups, one group ran in the direction they came, and the other group leaned against the sides of the security door, waiting for the security door to open.

The cacophony of sirens continued, and the security door's defense process seemed to have risen several times, and even with the program backdoor in her hand, it took Ella three times as long to open the second door as she did to open the second door.

"Fortunately, the mastermind didn't set it up and locked the security door directly......" Before Ella finished speaking, Qi Lin had already pounced and pressed her under him, and almost at the same time, a dense barrage shot out from inside!

The three soldiers, who had no time to dodge, were shot and fell to the ground, while the others ducked behind bulletproof shields.

These security doors all have a shield to isolate the detection of mental power, even those with mental power ability cannot detect anything behind the door before the security door is opened, and the reason why Qi Lin reacted is completely by virtue of the dangerous sense of smell that he has honed in the years of fighting.

Waiting for them at the back door was not the imaginary robot guards, but a group of tall cyborg cyborgs, carrying heavy Gatling cannons in their hands, and large-caliber shells bombarded the bulletproof shields, blasting the shield-wielding soldiers back again and again.

Fortunately, this time they did not use the transparent resin shield, but a composite alloy bulletproof shield with a thickness of 150 mm, plus a combat exoskeleton that can absorb impact and provide stable support, so that the shield did not break and no one died.

However, despite this, the power of large-caliber cannons should not be underestimated, and it is impossible for these heavy shields to last long under such firepower.

"Shock bomb!"

Six stun bombs arced through the shield and threw them out from behind the shield, exploding in mid-air before they hit the ground, erupting with a large amount of bright light and a deafening loud bang!

Although the mechanical components of cyborgs occupy a large proportion, they still retain some biological characteristics, and even if the detonation bomb can't make them fall into a state of stun, it will still have a certain effect.

These six stun bombs were only the first round, and immediately after, more stun bombs were thrown into the security door, and even Qi Lin, who was some distance away from the safety door, was shocked by this continuous loud noise, and his eardrum was faintly painful, not to mention the feeling in the center of the explosion point.

They didn't use smoke grenades, partly because they would also block their field of vision, hindering their progress, and because these cyborgs had heat-sensing vision, and normal smoke grenades were of little use to them.

"Flamethrower!"

Sophia's tactical team cooperated very tacitly, while the bombardier kept throwing stun bombs to interfere with those cyborgs, several other people connected the flamethrower's nozzle to the bulletproof shield, and thick tongues of fire suddenly spat out from the front of the shield, and the soldiers holding the shield began to slowly advance towards the safety door.

In such a narrow and enclosed area like a bunker, the flamethrower's power is multiplied, and even if the enemy is hiding in a corner, the flames will be able to take out these targets - and bullets can't turn around.

Under the scorching flames of high temperature, the biological tissues on the cyborgs quickly carbonized, and the muscles and tendons lost their support and connections, and the mechanical parts also fell off the cyborgs' bodies.

When the flames were gone, all that was left was the stench of a rich protein that had been scorched and the reddened metal remains.

"Liquid nitrogen!"

Several metal canisters taken from the sealed suitcase were thrown into them by the soldiers, and a large amount of white mist filled the entire space - time waits for no one, and only this method can be used to quickly cool down the security door that has been baked hot by the flames.

When the white mist had almost cleared, Ella walked briskly past the remains of the cyborgs and walked to the third metal door.

With the help of liquid nitrogen, the temperature of the metal door has returned to normal, and Ella connects the device to the door lock and continues to crack it.

At this time, a faint sound of firefighting also came from the back of the passage.

Sophia's face suddenly turned ugly...... Although she has not seen the "evidence" that Ella said, in fact, her current behavior is no different from a blatant rebellion, and once this decision is made, it is equivalent to cutting off her own way out.

Qi Lin could see that Sophia trusted Ella extremely much, and even gambled everything for it.

The third security door was finally opened, and with the experience of the previous two times, this time Ella quickly retreated behind the shield wall the moment the lock was broken, while the soldiers had already opened the stun bomb tabs, ready to throw them.

However, there was no security door at this last door, and there were no defenses, and the robot guards stood in place as if the power had been cut off, completely oblivious to the intruders.

"Damn...... 'Sword of Damocles' has been carried away by the Mastermind!" Seeing the empty satellite factory, Ella let out a cry of despair, without evidence, then all plans will not be able to unfold, and the fate that awaits them is only ......

Sophia pushed away the guards in front of her with a grim face and walked into the satellite factory, she did not rush to question Ella, but frowned, carefully looking around this "forbidden area" that she had never seen with her own eyes.

"You're right...... It was indeed a workshop for the manufacture of satellites, at least at one time, and based on the size of the assembly brackets that had not yet been dismantled and some spare parts remained, I could confirm that it was a 'Longinus'-class satellite. Sophia said slowly.

The Longinus-class satellite, named after the mythical spear that pierced Jesus, is an expensive low-earth orbit military satellite, as a general-purpose attack platform, the Longinus-class satellite can carry a variety of satellite weapons, including the space-based kinetic weapon "Sword of Damocles".

"It's not enough at all......," Ella shook her head, "That's not enough evidence at all......"

At this moment, a soldier who walked to the side of the console suddenly shouted: "Dr. Sophia! We've found something here, please come over here! ”

Ella, Sophia, Qi Lin and the others hurriedly felt in front of the console, only to see a bright red countdown constantly flashing on the screen of the console, and there were more than 100 seconds left before the countdown returned to zero!

"It's ...... Self-destruct system in the exclusion zone! When the exclusion zone detects signs of intrusion, the self-destruct system is activated, and after the countdown is over, everything here will be blown up! Sophia clenched her fists and said quickly, "Everyone, get out of here immediately!" ”

"No...... I'm not going! Who knows, Ella suddenly crouched down and connected her PDA to the console with a data cable, "Since we will trigger the self-destruct system, then it proves that the mastermind must still have evidence here!" This is our last chance, and if I can stop the self-destruct system, there may be a chance of survival! ”

"Are you crazy? All of us will be blown up! No, I have to get out of here! At this time, the researcher named John did not care about the identity gap between the two sides, roared loudly, waved his arms vigorously, and retreated step by step towards the outside of the forbidden area.

"Phew!"

Sophia raised her hand and fired a bullet through John's eyebrows, who fell straight back to the ground with a shocked expression.

"Don't be distracted, speed up." Sophia whispered to Ella, as a superior in the base, she could fully understand Ella's reason for doing this - in fact, even if she withdrew from the forbidden area, it would be a dead end, and since she had made this choice, it would be better to give it a go-

Everyone stared at the bright red countdown on the screen, and everyone remained absolutely silent except for the approaching gunshots outside the restricted area, Ella's ten slender fingers constantly dancing and jumping on the keyboard, and a large amount of complex code scrolling wildly on the PDA like a barrage.

A large amount of sweat oozed from her forehead, slid down her cheeks and down her chin, and Sophia gently hugged Ella from behind, wiping the sweat from her face very gently with the corners of her sleeves.

It was only then that Qi Lin finally understood...... The relationship between these two women should probably be ...... No wonder they trust each other so much.

……

Finally, when the countdown jumps to 17, the bright red numbers disappear, the screen of the console returns to its normal OS interface, and Ella collapses into Sophia's arms as if she has collapsed.

"It's ...... Parameters for the Sword of Damocles! Sophia hugged Ella, but her eyes were fixed on what appeared on the screen, and with her ability, she could naturally see a lot of things from those complex parameters......

What Ira said is true, the Sword of Damocles does exist, and the preset target location is the Yukon Base on the Alaska Peninsula!

And in the orders Sophia and the others received, there was not a single mention of them to evacuate the base that was about to be destroyed in the next few years......

"Ella...... How do we do it? Tell me, tell me all your plans! Sophia shouted anxiously to Ella in her arms.

"We don't have time anymore, now, get in touch with your dad first...... Most of the high-ranking officers on the surface base are die-hard Xia loyalists, and they will not defect easily, and the research institute is the entry point for the plan......"

"But...... But the institute doesn't have enough armed forces, and we're no match for those armies! Sophia said that the tactical team under her command is indeed very strong, but in the face of dozens or even hundreds of times the enemy, it can only be crushed.

"No...... We have a way to fight the army above......" Ella turned her gaze to Ayakui, "we must send her back to the cloning factory immediately......"

"You mean the clones? Have you found a way to bring those scattered forces together? "Sophia obviously knows a lot more about Ayakui and her clones than Qi Lin.

"Hmm." Ella nodded, "But that power can only be controlled by herself, this is our last chance!" ”
