The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 85 Ghost Town
"This is Yuan, Commander, call back."

"This is Ryder."

"We have reached the periphery of the colony, and now we are about to enter the interior. The thermal signal shows that there are no human-shaped objects."

"Okay, you are allowed to enter the interior, search for all the information left, and pay attention to safety."

"Roger that!"

After the large force arrived at the bottom airspace of Akuz, Xie Yuan and several marines from the same fleet were dispatched to form a reconnaissance team, and they jumped off the shuttle to investigate the colonial residential area first.

The Akuz colony is a newly established colony. Unlike Mindor, it is a habitable planet established on the edge of the Star Alliance.

But Akuz started later than Mindor, and a colonial base has not been built here until now.This also means that if something happens to this base, the entire planet will have to be sealed for ten years before new colonists can be rearranged.

The fixed assets of this colony belong to a tepid colonial labor dispatch company, but an agreement has been signed, and the residents here have unlimited use rights.However, if the official confirms that there is no one here, the assets will automatically belong to the labor dispatch company.

Because there is only one main base, the facilities here are quite complete, with 100% standard modular configuration.

The entire colony is constructed of white high-strength building materials, and the area is the size of a standard large football field.

The tall and thick outer wall guards the inner living area, food area and processing area. They even set up a pair of close-in anti-aircraft guns at the front and rear entrances and exits.

But when Xie Yuan and his party stumbled to the entrance, they found that the two pairs of close-in anti-aircraft guns were as useless as fire sticks.

At least it couldn't protect the lives of thousands of residents across the colony.

"Okay, everyone." Xie Yuan looked at the front and gave an order, "Two people, search in three directions, number 4, follow me."

This time it was a six-member team, divided by code number 1-6, and Xie Yuan was number 1.

The guy code-named No. 5 is a Nordic white man with blond hair and blue eyes and a tall hooked nose. He and Xie Yuan have gone through several missions together, so Xie Yuan still chooses an old friend.

No. [-] is a white North American, and he is on the same team as No. [-], the Oriental lady. No. [-] is a black man from Western Europe, and he is on the same team as No. [-], the Latin American.

The other two teams searched for the hydroponic area, the processing department, and the warehouse, while Xie Yuan's group searched for the residential area and the main control room.

The interior of the colony is in the shape of upper and lower grades. The most direct facing of them is the processing department. A large pile of mineral processing equipment is neatly arranged, and there are several fully loaded mine trucks next to them. The raw ore is neatly placed on the cargo hopper.

After crossing the processing department, the hydroponic area is on the left. It is the most important facility that every colony must have to cultivate food sources suitable for the physique of the earth. At this moment, the automatic cultivation facilities have been automatically activated, and the entire hydroponic process has been fully matured. Just waiting for picking.

In the middle is a small garden for everyone to rest and relax. There are traces of excavation for renovation, and it seems that something is going to be planted. Xie Yuan and the two cooperated to scan the soil quality - there is nothing superfluous in it .

On the right is the residential area. The strange thing is that it is lit all night in many places, and many small appliances are still in use, except that the bed is already cold, and Xie Yuan turned off all these appliances one by one.

It can be said that the entire colony is in a state of complete operation, running normally like a factory machine, but the operator, that is, the residents of the entire colony, strangely does not exist!

Now the only one who can know the whereabouts of these residents may be the main control room at the end.

But when Xie Yuan came to the main control room and flipped through the information inside, he found that the data recording function of the main control room was blocked.

This is an automatic blockade. It is usually activated when the main control room is in operation but is damaged by external force. In addition, if there is no operation for a long time, it may enter the blockade state.

The entity that has the permission to unlock after the blockade is the labor service company that arranges the colonization, which means that if you want to unlock it, you need to submit official authorization.

The authorization must first submit the application to the arbitration court of the Star Federation Council, and let the judge issue an application letter, and through the application letter, the labor service company will be prompted to unlock it remotely. In view of the fact that all the residents here are "MIA".

"No. 1, it seems that the master console in the master control room is blocked, do we need to brute force it?" No. 3 suggested to No. 1.

Of course, the above situation is a legal means of obtaining information. Xie Yuan, the soldier No. 1 with an electronic warfare module in his hand, and even No. 3 Sentinel with more advanced computing capabilities can crack the encryption of this system.

But this is not in line with procedural justice.

"No. Let's report to the captain and let him make the decision. He is the commander. We can't mess around," Xie Yuan rejected the proposal. They are just working soldiers. When something goes wrong, he can't handle it when dividing responsibilities. live.

"Yes, I also agree with this decision." Number 3 also nodded belatedly, just be yourself.

"No. 2, No. 3, what's the situation now? Call back." Xie Yuan asked other groups over the radio.

"This is No. [-]. The hydroponic area is safe, and the equipment is running again. There are no signs of humanoid creatures."

"This is No. [-], the processing area and warehouse are safe, the equipment is also in operation, and there are no signs of humanoid activity,"

"So, we're in a ghost town now." Number 3 gave the final definition.

"Well, we need to let the captain know about this, and I'm going to report to my superior." Xie Yuan tuned the radio to Ryder's channel.

"Commander, this is Yuan, please answer, over."

"Go ahead."

"The investigation team has entered the interior of the colony, and there are no signs of life or dead bodies in all areas, but the equipment and defense devices in each area are active.

There are traces of overturned soil on the ground, but the ground is very flat. The reason is unknown and further investigation is needed.

The main control room where all information is recorded has been automatically blocked, and formal authorization is required to read the surveillance data.

The whole colony has become a ghost town, but the base has been cleared, we are safe for the time being, and await the next instructions, over. "

"Received, please organize and send all the collected information to my multi-tool, I need to check it before giving the next order, over"

"Received, please wait a moment, the reconnaissance data package will be sent in 10 minutes." After Xie Yuan put down the radio, he immediately switched back to the channel used by the team and gave an order:
"Everyone, in a small garden, all the information we need to collect centrally."

Three or ten minutes later, Xie Yuan's investigation team, who was repairing in situ in the small garden, received the next instruction:

Stay alert and all stay overnight in the colony.
