PDLP Chapter 253 Eastern Base No. 1
Chapter 253 Eastern Base No. 1
This ambiguous answer actually gives her room to maneuver.
"The Far East?"
After some thought, Kaina realized that most of the units allocated to the east were from the Eastern Base Cluster.
Their language is no different from theirs, wait! Except…
Kaina's gaze towards Yufei was a little strange, except for the Eastern Base No. 1.
This base suddenly and inexplicably disappeared from their sight 200 years ago.
Some say their base was hit by a massive beast tide, while others say it was attacked by a sudden insect swarm.
They disappeared overnight, and even the people the base sent to search for them vanished without a trace.
As time went on, all the bases gave up searching for them. Were they from the Eastern Base No. 1?
If so, it's normal that their language is different from theirs.
After all, these bases underwent a major revolution 100 years ago, achieving unification of all bases.
At the same time, the language has been standardized to the current official language. It's normal that they wouldn't understand each other's language if they were truly from the Eastern Base No. 1.
Actually, if Kaina hadn't seen the relevant records about the Eastern Base No. 1 when she was organizing their police station's plans some time ago...
Otherwise, she wouldn't have known such a base existed. Now, she's relatively reassured about the four of them.
After all, we are all part of the human community, and in the face of countless external enemies, we humans are united in our support.
Every bit of strength counts.
What?! Aren't you afraid they're not human, but some other creature impersonating humans?
They used to be afraid. Twenty years ago, they discovered a terrifying branch of the Zerg that could parasitize the human brain, control human thought, and make them work for their Zerg.
This also caused a great upheaval in humanity, almost causing them to disintegrate and forcing humanity to withdraw from the flow of history.
The reason why humanity has always stood at the forefront of history is not because of any divine favor, but because of its indomitable fighting spirit and intelligent minds.
There are always more solutions than problems. Through the joint efforts of researchers from several bases, they finally found a way to distinguish between humans who have been parasitized and those who haven't.
They've also found drugs that can cause pain to the parasites, but unfortunately, they haven't yet found a cure for humans infected with the parasites.
Returning these humans to normal is almost impossible, since their brains have been completely eaten away.
They put these four people in the isolation room not to waste time.
The purpose was to observe whether these four individuals were infected with parasites.
During those three days in the isolation room, they were constantly spraying insecticide. Those not infected with parasites felt nothing at all, and it didn't harm their bodies.
If you are infected by a parasite, within three days the person will bleed from all seven orifices. The parasite will then desperately crawl out of the person's orifices, causing them to die a painful death.
None of the four of them were human; Kaina was absolutely certain that the four of them were at least human!
Of course, Kaina's trust in them ended there, limited to the trust she had in fellow human beings.
The group of people before her, who were suspected to be from the Eastern Base No. 1, though questionable, still planted a seed of friendship in Kaina's heart.
"We're in the far east, and I'm not even sure if it's the Far East."
Yufei pretended to be confused and said
"How did you get here? The soldiers who brought you here said you appeared out of thin air."
Kaina never imagined there was such a thing as a teleportation array, much less that aliens had appeared on their planet.
"Because we live in a place that's inaccessible by normal walking routes, our scientists later developed a teleportation portal that can transport us thousands of miles away. They're not entirely sure exactly where we'll be teleported to."
Moreover, energy is limited, and only a few can be transmitted over a very long period of time; we were the first batch.
Yufei spoke in a mix of truth and fiction, and by some twist of fate, her thoughts overlapped with Kaina's.
After Yufei finished speaking, Kaina felt she should now understand the whole story.
It should be the Dongfang No. 1 base, which was isolated from the outside world for unknown reasons until 200 years ago.
The people inside hadn't died, but were trapped, and they were constantly trying to find a way to escape! After nearly two hundred years of effort, they finally invented something called a teleportation portal.
This portal allows for spatial jumps, enabling travel over a kilometer in distance. However, it consumes a huge amount of energy, and only a small number of people can be transported through it each time.
Those four were the first group; that's roughly the situation. Currently, their various bases are also jointly developing space jump technology.
The jump distance is only about 5 meters around the target area, unlike the distance from Base 1.
I wonder if they will share this technology once they get in touch.
Kaina thought
"But your leaders are being ridiculous, how could they send out such young child soldiers! After 200 years, have their brains become muddled?!"
Do you still think that in the past 200 years, we outsiders have wiped out the Zerg, Orcs, and mutated plants?!
Kaina was furious at the thought that this 17-year-old girl was out on such a dangerous mission!
"Oh, right! You should also introduce your other friends!"
Yufei was completely bewildered by what Kaina said, not for any other reason than that the policewoman's words contained a lot of information!
Did she assign them to someone from somewhere? And the people in there shouldn't have had any contact with them for 200 years—the Far East!
Yufei had a general idea, but instead of going along with what Kaina said, she just smiled awkwardly and introduced her three friends to Kaina.
When Kaina heard that the oldest of the four was only 22 years old, she was completely shocked.
All four of them are minors! If this were happening at their bases today, sending them out would result in a court-martial! They're just a bunch of kids!
Kaina took a deep breath to calm herself down, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Yufei...
"What's the longest the longest person in your area can live?"
"The oldest person to live is probably 120 or 130! But there aren't many, very few at all, why is that?"
Yufei looked at Kaina strangely. Why was she suddenly asking this? Oh no! Could it be that they weren't?! The thought instantly sent a chill down Yufei's spine.
Kaina, as if she had received an expected answer, looked completely at ease.
That's it. Their development of Gene One was 150 years ago, by which time the East Base One had already disappeared, let alone the injection of Gene Six.
Kaina's understanding turned to sympathy as she looked at Yufei.
"Hey! It might have been a wise move for your superiors to send you out like this."
