AWB Chapter 298 Gathering
Chapter 298 Gathering
Alabama, in the vast jungle.
A Chinook helicopter is slowly descending in the air.
Although there was an endless dense forest below it, the Chinook still maintained its downward trend, without any worry about the risk of losing control during landing.
When the fuselage fell to a height of 300 meters, the dense forest under the fuselage suddenly disappeared, replaced by a long runway.
"..."
Alan was sitting in the plane and witnessed the Chinook's descent. She couldn't understand why the vast jungle disappeared in an instant, and what appeared next was a huge military base.
But Alan soon felt relieved and even a little excited. It seemed that he was recruited for a special mission this time.
The transport plane landed, and Alan and the pioneer team walked out of the rear cabin of the Chinook. Everyone looked around, and was very curious about this military base that they had never been to before.
Alan and the others were greeted by a well-armed team of deployed soldiers. The black-haired white officer glanced at the list in his hand, called out their names and checked their information, then led them to the military camp area.
In addition to the pioneers, there were some unfamiliar faces in the Chinook. Alan didn't know them, but they had a lively chat with other members of the pioneer team.
The soldiers traveling with them did not stop everyone from talking. Carl wanted to report to Rick that he was safe, but he found that the signal here seemed to be blocked.
Apart from the Scorpion Troops' walkie-talkies, communications here can only use the base's own communication tools.
Glenn wanted to find Zhang Qiang to find out about the mission because Maggie was pregnant. This was the first time he wanted to use his connections to get out of the operation.
"Where is Commander Zhang?" Glenn asked the soldier who was leading the way.
"You have no right to ask any questions. The commander has ordered that you must stay at the base for a week. You will all sign a confidentiality agreement. If you leak anything, it will be considered a betrayal."
The Scorpion Soldier's eyes were serious, and he hoped that everyone would take this matter seriously.
Everyone looked at each other. After the soldier finished speaking, the atmosphere around them became a little heavy.
There were many soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor walking around in the base. After Carl noticed the metal skeletons outside their limbs, he whispered to Alan, "What is that?"
Eric, who was wearing glasses, had a flash of light in his eyes and asked in surprise, "Exoskeleton! Has the battlefield already been equipped with this thing?"
Alan said to Carl: "You ask Eric, he seems to know."
The level of scientific knowledge among this group of teenagers was very average. Except for Eric, who often read books and studied on his own, no one knew what powerful equipment the soldiers were equipped with.
Among the patrolling soldiers wearing exoskeletons, the leading soldier suddenly picked up the intercom on his chest, as if receiving some orders. Then, the group of soldiers suddenly accelerated and left the airport area.
The extra power of the exoskeleton allowed them to run extremely fast, approaching 20 meters per second. One by one, the soldiers rushed to the slope in the distance, and the jet devices behind them sprayed compressed gas and landed below the airport runway.
"It's really an exoskeleton, and a jet pack. It looks like they are very skilled in using them. The position has mastered these two technologies to perfection."
Eric said to Alan: "No wonder they had to sign a confidentiality agreement. Their equipment can greatly improve the combat capability of individual soldiers, and the threat posed by assassin zombies to soldiers will be greatly reduced."
Although Alan didn't quite understand these two techniques, she saw the soldiers' athletic performance and felt a little envious.
The soldier leading the pioneer team led everyone to the administrative building. Looking at the reception hall full of technology, everyone was amazed and a little nervous.
Glenn originally wanted to use his connections to get Maggie off this mission and go home to take care of her baby, but the couple saw too many secrets of the battlefield together, and Glenn had no idea whether Zhang Qiang would agree.
In the hall, Irons' holographic projection suddenly appeared on the titanium white floor. This sudden scene scared everyone and made them stop immediately.
"Hello, my name is Irons. Please follow me and I will help you get your ID cards."
Irons looked at the pioneers present and entered their appearances into the system.
Eric's eyes lit up, and he instantly guessed the identity of Ains. This must be artificial intelligence. I just don't know how smart Ains is...
Soldiers have already moved into the offices in the administrative building. Irons' image moves on the titanium white floor, greeting each soldier holding a transparent tablet.
Eric noticed something unusual about the titanium white floor. Irons' holographic projection did not come from a hidden camera, but from this seemingly useless floor.
“That’s really cool.”
Even though Eric was naturally calm, he couldn't help but admire that this place was like heaven to him. It would be even better if he could learn knowledge here.
Irons took everyone to an empty office on the second floor, quickly processed their identity information, and arranged for the personnel machine to make identity cards for everyone.
"Eric Irons? Interesting, you and I have the same last name." Irons noticed Eric.
Eric's eyes lit up and he asked, "Mr. Irons, you seem to be very intelligent. What's your name?"
"Jonathan." Irons did not defend his identity, although in his mind, he was a human being rather than a simple artificial intelligence.
"What can we do here? Are there any books to read? Are there any courses to study?" Eric asked again.
Irons looked at Eric with interest, then called a soldier passing by the door and asked him to go to the equipment room to get another tablet.
"You are all special people. Your administrative authority is at the same level as the elite troops here. Listen carefully, I am talking about administrative authority.
Eric, since you want to learn, I can give you the equipment in advance, but you can't take it away and you have to return it to me when you leave.
Nothing here is allowed to appear in the outside world without Zhang's order."
Irons looked at Eric. It was difficult for him to assess Eric's IQ just by scanning, but based on his actions, Eric had a great interest in science and was most likely a smart person.
Eric's face showed ecstasy. This was like pie falling from the sky. Principal Zhang was so good to these students!
Alan, who was standing by, looked at Eric, who had lost his composure, and wondered, "Is it that serious?"
At present, everyone is following the arrangements in the base, and soon they will find that groups of people like them will gather from all over Georgia.
