Chapter 37 Let's create some chaos!
"A weapons research institute, no wonder it has automated defense systems. Now we don't have to worry about working for those people for free."
Now that they had a way to eliminate the survivors, Lorraine's expectations for the trip rose even higher.
"Do you have detailed information about the 137th Weapon Research Institute?"
[Detailed information is inaccessible due to insufficient current permissions. Access permissions will be upgraded to Tier 1 ships, granting access to 80% of the information in the database.]
[You can also unlock detailed information about the research institute by gaining certification after entering its interior.]
Lorin looked at the information displayed on the ship's intelligent system and felt a headache coming on.
"Fine, you know how to open the door, don't you?"
Lorraine chose to address the most crucial issue, since everything would be in vain if they couldn't get in.
Simply connect the identification signal to the main unit to open the gate.
"Can't the Tengu and the others work?"
Lorraine was somewhat curious, after all, the Tengu and the like were also the technological achievements of a previous civilization.
The mechanical dog and its primary owner only have access rights. They cannot open research facilities that are in hibernation.
"Therefore, it is necessary to establish an information channel connecting you and the research institute."
[I suggest you set up an information channel connecting me and Tengu, which will greatly speed up the unlocking process.]
We recommend that you bring a support drone equipped with a communication relay device. Its flight time, flight altitude, and data processing speed will meet your needs.
"Let's do it that way then."
The relevant drawings have been sent to the machining center and are expected to be completed in 15 minutes.
Lorraine turned and started packing her things. Although the journey wasn't far, she could make it back in a day. Just to be on the safe side, Lorraine prepared enough food for the two of them for three days.
As Lorraine disembarked with food and bottled water, Ouyang Nian was just securing the Deshika heavy machine gun to the support frame in the back of the pickup truck.
"Why did you bring so much food? Aren't you going to scout ahead?"
Ouyang Nian frowned, looking very puzzled.
"I just asked the ship's AI, and it turns out this is a highly classified research institute. The entrance is equipped with defensive devices, which should be enough to wipe out most of the people."
Lorraine explained as she loaded the food into the car.
"Sneaking in during the chaos won't be a problem, the problem is how to get the supplies out. So we need to bring more of this guy's ammunition."
Lorraine pointed to the DASHK heavy machine gun on the back of the pickup truck and said.
"What's the purpose of that drone being modified?"
She was the one who put in the materials needed for that drone.
"It's for setting up information channels and opening the door. The Heavenly Dog and the Listening Beast can only ensure that we won't get attacked when we go in; opening the door still depends on the ship's onboard intelligence."
Lorraine gestured for Ouyang Nian to help him move the ammunition.
"Go ahead, if that's the case, I'll have to fix the car again."
Ouyang Nian waved his hand and went to get the tools to fix the beat-up pickup truck.
Lorraine shrugged and carried weapons and ammunition to the vehicle by herself.
After an hour of preparation, a more heavily armed pickup truck appeared before Lorraine.
"Now there's no problem."
Ouyang Nian wiped his hands, which were covered in grease.
"I reinforced the simple armor on the engine, doors, and tires, and filled the fuel tank. The tires and engine are fine."
Let's go!
Lorraine sat in the driver's seat and beckoned Ouyang Nian and Tiangou to get in the car.
"Let's go. I'll say it again: if things go wrong, run for your lives. Your life is the most important thing."
Ouyang Nian, sitting in the passenger seat, reiterated the operational guidelines. After all, this time they would be facing a thousand people.
Lorraine started the pickup truck and drove off into the distance, following the guidance of the intelligence system.
"I have already loaded the two support drones with ammunition and fully charged them, and they are ready to take off and provide support at any time."
Lorraine pointed to the communications relay drone in the back seat.
"And we're not in a hurry to go in. I'll try to kill their leader first, and then create some chaos."
Lorraine told Ouyang Nian about her action plan.
During their conversation, Pikachu quickly arrived near the survivor camp.
"Isn't this little hill nice?"
Lorraine took his Lynx anti-materiel sniper rifle out of the car.
At this point, the Lynx's appearance changed drastically. The entire gun was covered with a camouflage cloth, and the muzzle was replaced with a matching silencer.
"I'll observe first and then open the door when the opportunity is right."
Lorraine then lay down in a spot with a good view and observed the camp ahead through the sniper scope.
The camp was divided in two by a road connecting the earthen-yellow gate. On the left side of the camp was a building that looked like a processing workshop and all the vehicles, while on the right side were several small farms and residential areas.
The entire camp was surrounded by a low wall, with two watchtowers at the entrance and two patrol teams patrolling the camp.
"The armed forces in this camp are not many; most of them are slaves and laborers."
Lorraine told Ouyang Nian what she had seen.
"I've found the camp leader!"
A burly man emerged from a tent, surrounded by several armed men.
"Tengu, establish an information channel, connect to the ship's AI, and prepare to open the gate."
A support drone took off, and soon the ship's intelligent system began sending identification signals.
Lorraine then saw the man, who appeared to be the camp leader, crawl back into the tent.
"Get out of here already, or I'll shoot you dead."
Lorraine started muttering to herself as she watched the camp chief, who was slow to emerge from his tent.
Before Lorraine could finish speaking, he saw the camp leader emerge from the tent and exchange a few words with the guard beside him.
The entire camp erupted into chaos instantly. Everyone rushed towards the gate.
"They're using slaves to scout ahead."
Lorraine had barely uttered a sigh when he saw it. The camp leader lifted the tarpaulin from the truck next to him, revealing a twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun.
"'Chinese profanity,' I was wondering why these people didn't fight back."
"What's wrong?"
"There is a twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine in the camp."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Nian fell silent.
"Just destroy it."
Ouyang Nian felt it was a bit of a pity.
"No rush, wait for the door to open."
The gate slowly opened, and after the camp leader said a few words, he drove the slaves and laborers inside.
In an instant, flames flickered in the passage, people fell one after another, and people were driven in one after another.
Lorraine seized the opportunity and opened fire decisively. The first shot cleaved the camp leader in two, while the second and third shots were aimed at the anti-aircraft machine gun.
The fourth and fifth shots eliminated the two sentries on the watchtower.
Lorraine changed a magazine and began calling roll for the patrol.
After Lorraine used up two magazines, the entire camp descended into chaos, with slaves and laborers constantly charging the patrols armed with standard weapons.
The number of people in the entire camp decreased sharply in a short time.
"Aren't you going down now?"
Ouyang Nian watched as Luo Lin changed the magazine on the sniper rifle and remained lying on the ground, showing no intention of getting up.
"Let them kill each other more, so that when we go in, they'll think we're invincible."
