Chapter 1348: Wings of Freedom (7)

――TR.82.11.28――
Tarsonis, shaded area.
"Oh! My goodness! What is that?"
After the giant machine appeared, the first thing that couldn't calm down was Si Wang, who was so excited that he pulled his beard straight.
"I have never seen it on the battlefield of the Federation," Arcturus frowned: "If it is a certain trump card of the Federation and appears at a critical moment, it may indeed overthrow the battle, but it is only a local battlefield."
This thing can't fly at a glance. Maybe it's a good hand to deal with big guys like Leiju, but for air vehicles or large-scale ground forces...
Quack-
Perhaps the death of this thunder beast angered the controller behind it. A large number of insects emerged from hula la near the many buildings around the giant machine, including the most basic insects, bone-spraying insects, extremely thick carapace insects, and even more. The insects that fired the mortars, Wuyangyang swarmed towards the giant machinery.
The giant machine didn't care, and after cleaning up a large number of melee bugs with two cannons in its hand, it fired the rocket array behind it again, blowing up the bugs at a remote location into the sky.
"Oh oh oh -" Si Wang looked excited.
After the giant machine cleans up the bug, it will move steadily, step by step, in the direction where it came from, just like when it appeared.
"It seems... it came out only to kill the thunder beast, and does not intend to interfere with the hostile pattern of insects and plants in a sheltered area," Arcturus analyzed when he looked at the monster disappearing on the corner.
"Such a powerful weapon should not be possessed by the scattered federal outposts. If we keep up quietly, we should be able to discover some secrets about this place," Angela agreed, and then looked at Emil: "It's better to continue shopping. Catch up?"
In this case, continue shopping? No, wait... Arcturus thought about halfway and stopped suddenly.
That giant machine appeared in such a high profile, it must have attracted the attention and exploration of both insects and plants. It is very likely that they will send units that are good at lurking and concealing to follow, and the Federation must have arranged countermeasures. , If you rush to follow, you will only be hit by anti-stealth means... So Angela’s words may sound a bit unclear at first, but in fact they can see it clearly?
Further inference, the behavior of shopping before?
"Hmm..." Before Arcturus could figure it out, Amir responded: "Don't go shopping, catch up, take down the machine and go underground."
Indeed, even if there is an anti-stealth method, it is probably helpless to Emil, so don’t beware of that, but going underground after removing that thing means...
Is there a tunnel to the underground in the federal base where this weapon is built? This is very reasonable.
"Alright, then we don't need to make holes ourselves," Angela smiled. "It's easier to use ready-made holes than to choose a good place to drill down."
As a result, I thought that Amir and Angela were playing, but they had almost detected the intelligence?
In their eyes, are they playing by pretending to be vigilant?
Arcturus glanced at Siwang, who was still immersed in the fantasy of giant machinery. Fortunately, no one would know such a shame.

A moment later, outside the secret federal base.
Da da da! Da da da!
When the giant machine walked on the ground without any abnormality, after half a minute after it passed, a large number of machine gun turrets suddenly rose from the ground, firing wildly at the surrounding air.
In the next second, a few bugs and a few vines with optical camouflage were killed on the spot, and they weren't shot out. They didn't know that the enemy unit was nearby.
"This is probably why it is going out to destroy the Thunder Beast," Arcturus said while looking at the floor machine guns that were destroyed by brute force. "These traps cannot destroy the Thunder Beast, but the enraged Thunder Beast will Take them all down."
"Hmph, these trap turrets are too rough, and they are not at the same level as that big guy." Si Wang said to the turrets that had been retracted into the ground.
"It will go down after it is disinfected. Let's follow." Amir pointed to a giant machine that was walking towards a derelict garage.
"Quick, quick~" Angela said, pushing Emil's wheelchair straight to the abandoned garage, and Arcturus and Siwan quickly followed.
As expected, when passing by the floor trap machine guns, they completely ignored the group of people.
When the giant machinery stepped to the center of the "disused garage", they just entered the door, and almost at the same time, the garage door rose and closed.
Chi Chi Chi Chi - Om -
Some kind of white smoke sprayed out from the garage and enveloped the giant machinery. It should be a disinfection operation. When the smoke came to Arcturus and his group, they were naturally isolated.
Next, the floor shook slightly and began to sink quickly.
"If there are many secret federal bases of this kind, it's not easy to handle." Arcturus habitually analyzes it from a strategic perspective, "If one is cleared one by one, time and manpower are a huge amount."
"I'm coming~" Emil raised his hand.
"No, your brother is not so useless," Arcturus touched her head: "If the Federation has no extraordinary combat power, it won't... ask you to take action."
Arcturus originally planned to say some beautiful things, but then he thought about it. This time he seemed to have been under the protection of his sister "The Force Illusion", so he changed his mind.
Emile and Siwang might not have heard this pause, but Angela must have heard it because she was looking at herself with a smile.
When Arcturus was struggling to explain further, the floor shook slightly and stopped the descent. Although there is no detailed data on the distance of the descent, it should be close to one kilometer in terms of somatosensory.
Chi Chi Chi Chi
In the next moment, the "walls" around the garage opened one after another, revealing a large research institute.
The style of the buildings and interiors here is different from the "retro" on the surface of Tarsonis. The gorgeous and introverted gold color and the integrated inner wall of the building all have an obvious "Ute" style.
Arcturus glanced briefly, and found several research areas where plant and insect specimens were being analyzed experimentally.
The giant machine slammed up to the elevator. A workbench with a large metal frame "nested" itself in the frame. Then, a group of people in the uniforms of maintenance workers swarmed up and carried out various aspects of it. maintain.
To Arcturus's surprise, a total of six operators have walked away from this giant machine. It seems that the optimization and integration of that thing is a problem.
And the large nameplate above the workbench is marked: "[Raytheon (trial type)]"
