Can you come over here for a moment?" After the battle plan explanation, as I was about to leave the briefing room, Shirley Yun called out to me. My name is Raiki Ohsumi, a railgun pilot in the Freedom Alliance, and Shirley is my co-pilot. We were classmates from pilot training school to the type conversion training course. Although I had flown with several other people before, none of them could match her teamwork. "Would you like to come to my room? Or Lei Ji's room is fine too..." "It's been so long since I've been to Lei Ji's room..." Shirley smiled at me with her alluring eyes, then turned and walked out. Her bright, black eyes and nimble movements reminded me of a cute squirrel. Shirley's hips swayed dramatically from side to side as she walked, their shape resembling a ripe peach—very sexy. Although she wasn't very tall, her breasts and buttocks were large and shapely, making one wonder how she could endure such a surging torment during high-speed maneuvering. Suddenly, Yun turned around and looked at me. "Why do I always feel like someone's staring at my lower body! Do you think my butt is so fleshy that I don't care about the hard seat during ejection, right?" A direct hit to the target! "Of course! I'm just involuntarily attracted to your sexy butt!" "Really?" Although she sounded skeptical, she seemed to be in a good mood! But what does she want from me? Actually, Shirley and I are the most compatible in terms of physical relationship, and I've been proposing to her repeatedly for the past six months. It's just that she's contacted me before a flight mission, which is the first time. As I walked, lost in thought, I found myself at her door. Following Shirley into her room, I instinctively locked the door behind me. At the same time, she turned around and placed her hand behind my waist, her previously delicate arm suddenly seeming to gain strength. "Hey...hey!" Completely unprepared for Shirley's sudden action, I could only pull her into my arms and fall onto her bed. "Ah! Hah...hah..." Shirley, lying in my arms, seemed unwilling to get up. Her lips immediately pressed against mine, and I didn't refuse. Our tongues instantly slid into each other's mouths, delicately intertwining. "Mmm... Huff..." Lei Li unconsciously let out a series of pleasurable breaths, usually the prelude to the union of two bodies, but did she really want it now? I asked hesitantly, pushing aside her alluring lips. "Shouldn't we avoid this kind of thing before a mission? In ten hours we'll be in the sky!" "I don't know why... I just want it!" "That's strange!" "Don't you want it?" "No!" As our lips touched again, I began to unbutton her uniform, and Shirley skillfully twisted her body, making it easier for me to remove her clothes. After completely untying the bindings around her chest, I pulled down her skirt and tight stockings, then ripped off her panties, and used both hands to spread her thighs apart. At this moment, I heard Shirley, lying there, say with a half-mocking tone, "You're really impatient!" "You're one to talk! Weren't you already prepared?" As I pulled my fingers out from between her legs, I saw excessively wet lubricant flowing down her crotch. "Of course! I'm ready to take off anytime!" But then again, if I kept rambling on and didn't get ready to attack, I'd be the one getting scolded. I hurriedly took off my uniform and pounced on Sherry, who was already waiting for me with her arms outstretched. Since we both knew each other perfectly well, I deliberately didn't go in, wanting to punish her a little! "Ah! Mmm... Ji! No! Don't tease me like that! Come in quickly!" "Okay! Yes, ma'am!" I then inserted my already hard member into Sherry's already wet and warm hole, thrusting my hips forward. "Ugh... Oh! Mmm..." An indescribable pleasure enveloped her, and with each in-and-out rhythm, Sherry's entire body began to vibrate noticeably. "Hmm... Oh! Ah... Hmm! So... So comfortable... Oh!" Our bodies are definitely the best partners. Suddenly, I stopped. "Huh? What's wrong?" "What's wrong? You still don't want to get married?" "Why are you bringing this up again? I don't want to live that kind of life where I'm constantly worried at home, hoping my husband will return safely from his mission! And I absolutely don't want a man in black to suddenly come to my house and tell me that my husband will never come back!" "I know! You've said that so many times!" "Then let me ask you, if we get married, who will sit behind you?" Every time I'm asked this question, I can only surrender. Actually, I've never met a better flying partner than her. "No... otherwise, I can apply to switch to a single-pilot aircraft!" "Stop talking! In short, I'm not willing to give up flying!" It seems I have no choice but to accept my bad luck again this time... "Alright! You can't not rest and recover your strength before departure! Now, please start preparing for the mission ahead!" To be honest, her decisive personality is also what fascinates me. It seems I have no choice but to focus my attention back on the mission. The so-called orbital fighter pilots are essentially half-astronauts. The FS-103, for example, is propelled directly into the atmosphere via rocket boosters, gliding along a ballistic trajectory. It can then detach from orbit at any point and re-enter the atmosphere, with a maximum speed far exceeding that of enemy surface-to-air missiles. Therefore, during attack missions, it can easily destroy enemy defensive structures—such as air defense radar stations or missile launch pads—from optimal positions, allowing our conventional air force or ground troops to penetrate deeply. Even when the enemy sent fighter jets to resist, it was to no avail. No fighter jet could keep up with the speed of the FS-103, and no fighter jet that clashed head-on with the FS-103 ever escaped unscathed. Although the FS-103's designation included the prefix "F," indicating fighter jet, its actual equipment and airframe were no different from those of a strategic attack aircraft. Originally, this blitzkrieg operation in South Africa should have been an easy task. Shooting down ballistic missiles is not an easy task, let alone a railgun with the ability to evade attacks. In particular, attacking a railgun with ordinary surface-to-air missiles is almost impossible. Therefore, the combat loss rate of railguns has always remained below one percent. But I never dreamed that I'd actually run into such a minuscule odds! A surface-to-air laser attack vehicle that our prior reconnaissance had overlooked suddenly attacked us from behind as we passed through enemy airspace! The fuselage struck by the laser beam looked as if it had been run over by a needle-and-sergeant, with a row of perfectly aligned bullet holes. "We've been hit! It's a laser beam!" "Where were we hit?" "Rear right wing!" "Damn it! What were those guys in the intelligence reconnaissance squad doing?!" "Damn it! The engine looks damaged! The lower wing is about to fall off! The wingtip is cracked beyond recognition, we can't go on like this without slowing down!" "But if we slow down here, we'll just be waiting to be torn apart in mid-air!""Then we have no choice but to slow down gradually!" Unexpectedly, during the deceleration, a loud "bang!" came from behind, accompanied by a tremendous impact. Instantly, all the warning lights turned red. Although the exact situation couldn't be determined, it was safe to assume that one engine was likely destroyed! "Quickly shut off the rocket booster's air intake engines! Close the fuel valves!" "I'm doing it! Ah...fire!" "What about the automatic fire suppression system?" "It's destroyed! Switching to manual doesn't work either! What do we do?" "Mine's the same! The generator's automatic safety system has activated!" "Should we abandon the plane here?" "You mean we should parachute here? This is right in the middle of the enemy's camp!" "What else can we do? The plane is clearly beyond repair!" "We have to find a way to hold out until the front..." "The coastal areas of the line!" "Are you kidding me? By then we'll be crash-crashed and charred!" "That's better than becoming prisoners! Especially for you!" Chapter One: The March Pink Rabbit's Lair In the early 21st century, the percentage of the world's population with sufficient food supplies plummeted from 15% at the end of the 20th century to 3%. The energy crisis, occurring almost simultaneously with the food crisis, triggered conflicts of all sizes around the world, and the world's nations split into four major camps under the influence of different ideologies. Ironically, the energy resources rapidly developed during the war and the drastically reduced population under the flames of war subtly formed a temporarily stable balance. This year is 2037, two years since I was shot down. Now, having been promoted to captain, I'm en route to the lunar base. Currently, neither faction has plans to build a large-scale base on the moon, as its strategic importance isn't high, and maintaining one is extremely expensive. My destination—the Freedom Union Lunar Base—has recently experienced a series of malfunctions in its radar and communication equipment, and reports indicate that base operations are far behind schedule. Therefore, my superiors decided to send me to investigate. Officially, my title is "Technical Advisor," but my true mission is that of a "Special Investigation Officer." Originally a fighter pilot, I was transferred from the front-line combat units to the intelligence unit after losing an arm in Operation Lightning. This meant my superiors didn't believe the recent strange occurrences were simply accidents. Upon receiving orders, I immediately set off on the space shuttle traveling between Earth's satellite orbit and the lunar base. Despite being a former fighter pilot, I was merely a passenger on the space shuttle, and should have obediently stayed in the passenger seat. However, I was so bored that after some persuasion, they finally agreed to arrange a special seat for me in the cockpit. However, this space shuttle was originally a temporary flight fully loaded with maintenance equipment, and I was the only passenger on board, so it didn't make much difference to them where I sat. As the space shuttle approached the lunar surface, I could feel the impact of the descent and deceleration. At this moment, the captain turned to me and said, "Captain! We're about to reach the base; we'll be landing in a few minutes!" "Great! Finally, I can say goodbye to this boring journey!" As the space shuttle descended, the outlines of the lunar mountains became increasingly clear. The base was located in a valley between the mountains, and most of the base facilities were built underground to protect against the sun's intense ultraviolet rays and meteorite impacts. The space shuttle's landing runway, like other equipment, was built underground. The protective shield only opened during takeoff and landing, making it feel somewhat like landing on a stationary aircraft carrier. "What the hell is going on? How am I supposed to lock onto the bouncing guidance orb?" "It's like a rubber ball!" the co-pilot joked. The captain and co-pilot were muttering complaints because the landing guidance system's signal kept vibrating, preventing the space shuttle from smoothly entering its guidance path. Since I already knew that some kind of anomaly might be occurring inside the base, I couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding. "You guys should be pretty clear about my mission to the moon this time, and the purpose of the equipment in the cargo hold, right?" "We're currently in the process of landing preparations, can you please be quiet?" Perhaps the landing wasn't going as smoothly as expected, the captain replied irritably. "That's why I'm asking you!" "Is it because there are always incidents happening at the base?" This time it was the co-pilot who answered. "Look! It's the landing system malfunctioning again!" "Come to think of something, it's been acting up for a while now!" "Please, think of something quick! I don't want to crash into a mountain!" "Me too! Hey! Kuwan Tom! Switch the flight controls to manual. Looks like we'll have to land on our own!" "Huh? You're kidding, right?! There are only 40 seconds left until the scheduled landing time..." "And we haven't practiced unguided landings in ages!" "Stop rambling! We're about to land!" Ignoring the guidance signals from the base, the space shuttle began its autonomous landing preparations. However, from above, the light leaking from the narrow entrance to the underground airport, barely wide enough for one space shuttle to pass through, looked no different from a firefly at its 100-meter mark. The precision required for a safe unguided landing was far greater than threading a needle. But the experienced captain lived up to expectations, smoothly gliding the space shuttle slowly into the underground airport, where the base's control tower was now clearly visible. Unexpectedly, the aircraft suddenly felt a violent lateral impact, unlike the vertical vibrations that should occur during normal flight. Immediately afterwards, the aircraft felt the impact vibrations from scraping against the runway. "I didn't expect to crash into the mountainside at the very end. If we don't get it repaired, we won't be able to return to Earth!" "Captain! I'll have to write a self-criticism report now!" First Officer Kuwan Tom said with a pitiful expression. "I told you to switch to manual control! If there are any problems, feel free to come to me!" "I gave the order, so I should bear all the responsibility. That's what a captain should do, isn't it?" the captain replied with a hearty laugh. "Kuwan Tom, now you know why you've been flying for so many years and still haven't become a captain!" From the towering cliff beside the tarmac, I could see a sealed passageway extending outwards. At least we'd finally arrived safely at the lunar base. *** After passing through the long, sealed passageway, I thought to myself, "This should be the rest area next to the control room." But then a strange figure appeared before me—an Eastern woman who looked only 15 or 16 years old. She smiled and saluted me. After I returned the salute, she strode towards me. "You must be the new technical consultant, Captain Raiki Ohsumi, right? First of all, welcome to the moon! I'm Corporal Riki Ishizuka! From today onwards, I will be your special assistant!" Before setting off, I had already collected basic information on the main targets of this mission's investigation. I didn't expect that this genius girl in front of me was also one of the key targets of the investigation, and she looked much younger in person than in the photos. She looked like a girl scout in her military uniform, but her achievements were even more astonishing. She completed all the technical courses at the sergeant academy in one year (and ranked first in every subject), an unprecedented record at the sergeant academy. However, she ranked last in leadership and language skills, a significant drop in grades. Under normal circumstances, she might not even have been able to graduate. However, the personnel department wanted to make the best use of her talents, so they arranged for her to intern at the lunar base, using her internship performance instead of her leadership skills grades. In the past, in the European and American military systems, someone like her would likely have been eligible for sergeant-level service and internships. But that's not the case now. This is just one example of the many differences between the modern military and the military of the 20th century. If a high-ranking officer were to be killed in action during the war, it would be a huge problem to have this young girl in command, even in this insignificant little base. However, her inclusion in the investigation wasn't solely due to her grades. Although there's no concrete evidence yet, various signs suggest she might be involved in hacking into military computer systems, so her connection to this incident cannot be ruled out. "Whether it's an introduction to the base, assistance from the technical department, or any other needs you may have, please don't hesitate to tell me!" Although my technical course grades weren't bad, I underwent several special training courses before this operation to maintain my image as a technical consultant. But you still need to be extra careful in front of this girl, lest you accidentally give yourself away. "And..." Rikiko seemed to have something else to say. "Huh? Is there anything else?" "Captain ōsumi is of Japanese descent, right? And my name is somewhat similar to the captain's, which has unconsciously given you a sense of 'novelty'!" This guy's...It's no wonder I failed the language test! "Corporal, your language skills seem a bit lacking!" "Huh? How did you know?" "Let me tell you! You shouldn't say 'novelty' right now, you should say 'friendliness'!" "Ah! Sorry! Computer languages are my forte!" Honestly, young people these days are really a headache! Then I realized I'm only in my early twenties, and these kids are driving me crazy. As we were talking, Rikiko had already led me to the base commander's office. It seems Lieutenant Colonel Karal Benedict has been waiting for me for quite a while. "Reporting to the Commander! Space Force Captain ōsumi Raiki reporting for duty! Please grant me permission to begin my duties at this base today." "Understood! All approved!" "Captain ōsumi! Welcome to Lunar Base D-02!" The Commander warmly shook my hand, his palm seemingly damp. "I sincerely hope you can help us resolve our current predicament, Technical Advisor!" "I will do my utmost and will not let you down!" Her personal information was already firmly etched in my mind. According to the records, since graduating from the NCO school, she had received an A rating in all her units. Unlike Rikiko, Karal's grades were not only excellent but also quite balanced across all subjects, making her a rare talent in the military in recent years. Moreover, her ability and competence as a woman serving as the border commander are beyond question. Although she is considered young and relatively junior among commanders, she is probably close to my mother's age to me. Despite the advanced state of modern cosmetic surgery, she still looks much younger than most women her age. Her enormous breasts seem poised to burst open the buttons of her uniform at any moment, appearing to be at least a G or H cup. However, her oversized figure still has to endure the standard military equipment specifications, which is already an area where logistics are inefficient. "With this, you can freely enter and exit any corner of the base!" the commander said, handing me a small card. All the important departments in this base are equipped with automatic locking devices that use identification; you can't pass through without this card. "This card also has the function of detecting radiation. If it emits a warning sound, or if the card turns yellow or red, you need to pay special attention!" Rikiko added a few more detailed explanations, like a helpful shopkeeper. "Although you're new here and unfamiliar with everything, I hope you can get up to speed and start working as soon as possible!" On the way to the CIC room, we encountered another team member; she seemed to be waiting for us. "Wait a minute!" The speaker was Captain Huang Li, the head of the technical department. She was the undisputed second-in-command at the base, and although she was of the same rank as me, she seemed to have far more experience and age. "I heard there's a new technical consultant. You must be one of them?" she said, looking me up and down with distrust. "Yes! I'm Captain Osumi! Nice to meet you!" "My name is Huang Li! If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask!" "If you encounter any problems, shouldn't you report to the lieutenant colonel first?" "Hmph!" Huang Li suddenly scoffed dismissively. "What can that dim-witted old woman do! Isn't that why you were sent here?" Lieutenant Colonel Karal had a warm personality, but Huang Li was different. Although she was beautiful, her appearance and attitude were quite overwhelming. "Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore! Aren't you going to the CIC? I'll take you there!" "Ah! Report, Captain! But I'm taking Captain Ohsumi to the CIC right now..." Riko, my special assistant, interjected. "Now I'm the head of the CIC—I'm the one who's introducing the Captain! Is there anyone more suitable than me?" "That being said..." Huang Li suddenly snatched my luggage from my hands and half-forced it into Riko's hands. "Hurry up and put the captain's luggage away, and double-check it while you're at it! Hurry up!" "Yes...yessir!" Li Zi seemed startled by Huang Li's sudden action. After bowing, she grabbed my bag and ran away. It seems dealing with this woman is going to be exhausting. *** Besides warehouses and storage rooms, which require large spaces, the CIC (Central Intelligence Center) is probably the largest department in the base. Since the CIC is essentially the nerve center of the entire base, for attack resistance and security reasons, it's located on the lowest level in the very center of the base. All the various reconnaissance devices and defensive weapons equipped in the base are controlled from here. In addition, intelligence gathered by radar stations and optical detection equipment located further from the base is also compiled here. The CIC (Combat Information Center) is staffed by three shifts of four personnel. Although it should be the most important place in the entire base, there's absolutely no sense of tension. Perhaps it's due to its border location and the inability of personnel to engage in outside activities, leading to a monotonous and tedious existence year after year. In this repetitive base life, it's easy for anyone to become complacent, but there should at least be some semblance of tension befitting a military base. However, there's absolutely no trace of that here. "Captain! Would you like me to give you a brief explanation first?" Huang Li asked me, standing in front of the CIC entrance. She didn't seem to mind the almost polluted air quality inside. Was she truly indifferent, or was this simply the norm here? "Oh! No need! I've already taken the relevant courses before coming!" This wasn't me being boastful; I was now skilled enough to replace any staff member on site. "Is that so? How about I introduce you to the team members on duty?" Huang Li said, turning around. "Salute!" Sure enough, there were three female and one male staff members in the CIC room, staring at the fluorescent screen on the wall. They slowly turned around when they noticed us entering. I don't mean that everyone can't look away from the screen. These detectors are designed to distinguish between normal and abnormal states. As soon as something is wrong, they will immediately issue different levels of warning signals. It is the human's job to interpret the meaning of these signals. However, seeing them staring at the screen, I really doubted whether they would be able to react immediately when something was wrong. "Let me introduce you. This is Captain Raiki Ohsumi, the technical advisor who just reported to the base!" What struck me most at this moment was that all four of them looked like patients with a severe cold and fever, their eyes dull and lifeless. "Hopefully his arrival can solve the problems that have been occurring frequently at the base lately!" Huang Li said this, but it sounded like a challenge, as if she thought, "I'm here for nothing." "I will do my best to meet everyone's expectations, but... excuse my bluntness! It seems that the work efficiency here is not ideal, is that right?" "This has absolutely nothing to do with our professionalism. Working in such a closed space, this situation is simply unavoidable!" Huang Li's decisive tone left no room for argument, but strangely, while Huang Li was speaking, a female technical staff member began to mutter intermittently to herself. "Newcomer reporting for duty... technical consultant? Huh... a new man, huh? Ugh... it's so hot... I can't let it leak out! But I really..." "Cui?" The female team member called Cui actually stood up from the chair in front of the main monitor and started walking towards me, unbuttoning her uniform as she did so. I was startled by her sudden unusual behavior and didn't know how to react for a moment. "Lieutenant Cui! I order you to return to your post immediately!" Hearing Huang Li's firm command, Cui suddenly stopped walking for a moment, but the next second she slowly started walking towards me again. "Ah... I can't take it anymore... My body is so hot... so hot..." In the blink of an eye, Cui had ripped open her uniform and bra, her breasts, barely contained by her bra, almost spilling out. Perhaps due to the friction from forcefully pulling the buttons and tie, there were several red scratch marks on her fair chest. "Hold me... hold me tight..." As she spoke, she ran to my side and hugged me tightly. "What... what's going on?" I immediately pushed Cui away forcefully. At this moment, the male member who had been sitting next to her rushed over, grabbed Cui's arms from behind, and dragged her away. This man was one of the few male members in the base, named Cha Cai. "Let me go! Let me go! Don't stop me!" "Cui! Calm down! Don't cause trouble here!" "Didn't I tell you! I can't take it anymore!" After a struggle, Cui was finally dragged to the center of the room. Unexpectedly, Cui's attitude changed 180 degrees. She quickly pulled out a pistol from its holster and pointed it at Che Cai's head. "Didn't I tell you I can't take it anymore? Forget it, it doesn't matter who it is! Che Cai! You'd better take your pants off right now, quick!" Cui was breathing heavily as she bent down to help the slow-moving man undo his belt. In the blink of an eye, even...She pulled down her underwear and immediately knelt down, sucking intensely on the man's symbol like a pacifier. Cha Chae's penis instantly swelled. "Does a man who can get an erection under these circumstances have a mental problem?" I couldn't help but think. But I didn't act, because Cui and Cha Chae were too close. If I fired, I might accidentally injure Cha Chae or destroy the control devices around the room. "Now, lie face up!" Hearing Cui's command, Cha Chae had no choice but to obediently lie on the floor, his large, erect penis pointing straight to the ceiling. Seeing this, Cui's breathing quickened, and a flush rose all over her body in her excitement. "Haha! Don't you dare spoil my fun!" Cui brandished the pistol in her hand, threatening those around her. Then she straddled Che Cai, quickly rolling up the hem of his skirt and pulling his underwear aside. The love juice that had been hidden by the underwear flowed down his thighs like a burst dam. Next, Cui aligned her crotch with the tip of his erect penis and immediately sat down, instantly swallowing Che Cai's penis. "Ah...ahh..." Cui exhaled involuntarily like a drug addict, letting out a long breath the moment she received the injection. Soon after, having completely swallowed Che Cai's penis, Cui began to sway her hips up and down. "Heh! Heh... Oh! Right here... Ah ha... Heh... Oh wow..." As Che Cai's penis moved in and out of Cui's petals, the friction between them, like chewing gum, echoed throughout the entire ICE room. At the same time, the other two team members reacted somewhat strangely. Rather than being afraid of the gun in Cui's hand, they were more like they were enthusiastically watching a rare live sex show, making it seem as if one could almost hear them swallowing their saliva. At this moment, Cui was already immersed in physical pleasure. The gun, originally intended to threaten the crowd, was now being used as a tool for her own enjoyment. She not only rubbed it against her breasts but also excitedly licked and sucked the barrel. It seemed she was treating the gun as another penis. Then, she slid the saliva-covered barrel back and forth between her breasts. Unexpectedly, at that moment, a sharp gunshot rang out beside me. It turned out that Huang Li had drawn her pistol and was standing there! The bullet she fired pierced Cui's head with a thud, but the story did not end there. Cui's surprised expression froze instantly, and she stopped moving, slowly collapsing onto the man. At that moment, the gun in her hand was aimed squarely at Che Cai's chest… firing the final bullet! Perhaps because it hit his heart directly, Che Cai didn't even have time to cry out in pain; he let out two muffled groans and then stopped convulsing. From the moment I entered until now, only a blink of an eye had passed, and the ICU now contained a pair of half-naked male and female corpses. Blood flowing from their bodies, mixed with Cui's scattered milky-white brain matter, slowly spread across the floor. "Hmph…looks like there's no need for any introductions now!" Huang Li's voice seemed to tremble slightly. Although they were both soldiers, officers like them, not attached to field units, rarely had the opportunity to directly confront corpses, let alone shoot them themselves. And the two people who died were lying right before their eyes. No matter how strong Huang Li's personality was, she could no longer feign composure at this moment. However, she was right; in this situation, not only was a technical examination unnecessary, but even introductions were pointless. "I thought so too." "I'll handle what's happening here! Captain, if there are no other problems, please return to your quarters and await further orders!" "I've served on the front lines before; I think perhaps staying here can be of some help!" "No need! We also have a special commando team here for emergencies!" Right! I almost forgot! Even though the base is small, it's still equipped with the smallest possible Marine Corps unit. "And don't forget! This is the front line too!" Hearing her say that, I realized I'd misspoke. Although the nature of the operations differed, this was undeniably a frontline base. "You're right! Forgive my slip of the tongue!" Her voice had unconsciously stopped trembling; perhaps it was her stubborn nature that commanded respect. But then again, there was no reason for me, the technical consultant, to stay here any longer. As an investigator, my job now was to firmly remember everything I saw. So, after finding out where my cabin was, I left the CIC. I thought I had a general idea of the base's layout and structure, but suddenly I had no idea where I was. Although I had never been on an aircraft carrier before due to my branch of service, I figured most new recruits were in the same boat. This was really giving me a headache. Just as I was thinking this, a strange singing and counting sounds suddenly came from the other end of the corridor. "The moon's gravity is too weak..." "The moon's gravity is too weak..." "The girls' muscles will weaken..." "The girls' muscles will weaken..." After turning a corner, the female members of the Lushan Line Assault Team, who were singing and counting, ran towards me while singing and counting. They must be doing long-distance running training at the base! "We...don't want to become limp mummies..." "We...don't want to become limp mummies..." These are really uncomfortable lyrics! I guess these are lyrics unique to the lunar base. What also caught my eye was their unique uniforms. Perhaps to compensate for the low gravity on the moon, each team member had heavy hammers strapped to their hands and feet. Their lower bodies wore standard military combat pants and boots, while their upper bodies, besides a thin spacesuit, were covered only by a coarse mesh thermoregulating bodysuit. The movement of their breasts was almost identical to when they were naked, and the shape of their nipples was clearly visible. In this base where there were almost no men, this might be taken for granted, but it left me unsure where to look. Normally, I might have pretended not to see them and quietly walked past, but this was a special situation, so I had to bite the bullet and call out to the female team member running in front. "Come here for a moment!" She ran to my side after hearing my words and said, "Reporting, Captain! Were you calling me?" "Excuse me! I have something I'd like to ask you!" Then she winked at the team members behind her, signaling them to continue forward. "Yeah..." A disgruntled voice came from the team. "Aren't you going to run? Tiana! Didn't you see the captain wanted to see me?!" "Tch..." "Alright! Run faster! One! Two! One! Two..." 'Ma...Qiong's figure is amazing...' 'Ma...Qiong's figure is amazing...' In a short while, only one female assault team member remained in front of me. Because of the close proximity, a sour and fragrant female body odor mixed with dilated sweat glands wafted over. Moreover, she didn't stop walking when she reached me, so her breasts continued to bounce up and down under her tight mesh top. Although I had just witnessed an incredibly bloody tragedy, my blood was still involuntarily flowing to my lower body. I had no choice but to shift my gaze away from her upper body, which was even more sexy than her naked body. "By the way! What's your name?" "Reporting, sir! I'm Corporal Triporte!" Now all the names and faces of the key figures finally came together in my mind. I'm really lucky! "Because I just arrived at this base, so..." "Did you come on that temporary supply voyage? I thought it only carried maintenance equipment!" "You're right! Actually, I'm not much different from maintenance equipment!" "Huh..." "So I'm not very familiar with the base's layout. Could you tell me how to get to my cabin?" "That's easy! I'll just take you there!" "No problem! You just need to teach me how to get there..." Before I could finish speaking, she didn't even ask for the cabin number and turned around to slowly run forward. A moment later, she stopped and turned around a short distance ahead, saying, "Reporting, sir! This is it!" This area must be designated as a residential area, I thought. *** Without hesitation, Tripod Wuchen guided me to my private cabin door. "Thank you so much, Sergeant! Thank goodness for your help!" Unexpectedly, Tripod followed me as I entered the room. "Is there anything else I can help you with?" she asked, deliberately puffing out her chest, clearly emphasizing her curves. Perhaps due to the friction between her breasts and uniform during training, the nipples stood erect as if unafraid. "Oh no! It's nothing now! Besides, you should still be in training time, shouldn't you?" Hearing me say that, she glanced at me with a slightly childish look. "We should repay you for your kindness today when we're both free, don't you think?" A flash of enthusiasm seemed to appear in Triporte's eyes. "Are you serious, Captain? You can't lie to me!" With that, she took a step forward and stood at attention, her legs pressed together.Because of our close proximity, when she straightened her chest, her full breasts pressed against mine. Through the thin uniform, I could clearly feel the elasticity of her breasts; it seemed she was doing it on purpose. "Hmm! If there's an opportunity soon!" "Reporting, Captain! Corporal Triport is returning to the unit immediately!" I thought she was about to leave the room, but unexpectedly, she turned back and handed me a hastily written note with her cabin number and duty hours. Finally, when I was alone in the room, I glanced around. The bed was made very neatly; that must be thanks to Riki. There was also a small desk and a standard multimedia terminal—basic equipment that couldn't be simpler. Fortunately, it was relatively spacious compared to the officers' quarters on the ship, and the luggage that Riko had taken was neatly lying next to the desk. As I was still pondering what to do next, I suddenly heard a thud outside the door, like someone had tripped and fallen. Then the terminal made a startup sound, and Riko's face appeared on the screen. "Report! It's Corporal Ishizuka! Sorry to keep you waiting!" Sure enough, Riko was standing there when the door opened, looking out of breath. It seemed she had rushed over in a panic. "I shouldn't have called you..." "This room is designed so that it sends a signal to notify me as soon as the captain steps into the room! Is there anything I can help you with?" "Oh, I see! But I really don't have anything to do right now..." "Would you like me to prepare dinner for you?" "You're right, it's about time to eat!" (At this point) I'm not so sensitive as to lose my appetite because of seeing one or two corpses. "Okay, thank you!" "Yes!" I'm almost fed up with eating fast food in the air after several days, and I can't help but feel excited about my first meal after arriving at the base. Strangely, Riki didn't go out, but instead came in and stood in front of my terminal. A bad feeling crept into my heart. "Whether you want Japanese, Chinese, Western, Indonesian, or Thai food, I can handle it!" "Then I'll have some sashimi!" "Sorry! We don't serve raw food here!" "How about pork cutlet rice and miso soup instead?" "Yes, ma'am!" After saying that, Rikiko started typing the commands. Seeing is believing, her typing speed was at least several times faster than mine. But what I don't understand is, it's just ordering food, is it really necessary to type so exaggeratedly? It seems that this meal is probably not worth looking forward to. At most, it's some space food commonly used during long-term space travel. The so-called fried pork cutlet is just a fake thing made by spreading some breadcrumbs that look no different from paper scraps on a long-term preserved artificial protein gel and finally shaping it with food-grade binder! A few minutes later, a "ding!" rang out. On the wall directly in front of the desk, a lid resembling a building's garbage chute suddenly opened, releasing a super-sturdy, square plastic tray with a matching soup cup on it. It didn't look like pork cutlet rice or miso soup at all, and was even covered with a lid to prevent spillage during transport. Unexpectedly, when the lid was opened, that nostalgic aroma truly wafted out—it was unmistakably real. A taste revealed a slight difference from the real dish, yet the flavor was incredibly lifelike. "Mmm..." He couldn't help but admire it. "How is it? Does it suit your taste?" "Mmm! It's practically indistinguishable from real food!" "That's great! These items not on the menu, I guess I'll have to reset the automatic food processor's commands!" Ah, I see! All that frantic typing earlier was for this reason. "What happens if I accidentally make a mistake when inputting the order?" "Then something bizarre will come up! Wahaha!" "Does that mean there isn't even a central kitchen in this base?" "Yes! To reduce unnecessary waste of space and resources, this base prohibits individuals from cooking for themselves!" So, does that mean accidentally inputting the wrong order and getting something inedible isn't considered a waste? Speaking of which, I hadn't had a decent pork cutlet rice bowl in ages, and I devoured it in no time. Riko just watched me wolf it down with a silly grin. "Rikiko, aren't you going to eat?" "I already ate before you got back! Heh..." After enjoying this rare treat at the base, I felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. Riko put my used utensils back in the trash can, pressed the button, and all I heard was the sound of machinery turning—probably the sound of the utensils being taken away. "Is there anything else you need, sir?" "I don't think so for the time being." "Because my job is to be the captain's personal assistant, you can ask me anything without hesitation!" "Hey! You don't have to be so nervous just because taking care of the guests' daily needs is your job!" "Are you really okay..." Seeing her silly look made me want to tease her a little. "However! If the guests ask you to spend the night with them, that's a different story!" After hearing this, I saw Rikiko's eyes widen, looking completely bewildered. "'Sharing the village bananas', right? But there's no village here and no bananas either!" Oh no! I forgot that this girl failed her language class. "Um... 'spending the night together' and 'seeing the banana tree together' are...very different. Never mind! Just pretend I didn't say anything!" "Yay..." "Alright! Thank you for your hard work today! The dinner was really great! I'll call you again if you need anything!" "Yes! Then I'll take my leave!" Li Zi left with a puzzled expression. As soon as Li Zi left, Huang Li's image appeared on the screen on the table. "Routine report! The duty schedule for the CIC personnel is currently being adjusted! Captain Ohsumi, please report to the CIC at 10:00 AM Earth Standard Time tomorrow!" "Hey! What happened after that incident..." "Routine report! The current CIC personnel..." I wanted to ask her how things were going, but the screen just kept repeating the same text. It seemed to be an automated message. What an unbearable woman. I checked the time; it should be 2:13 AM Earth Standard Time. Perhaps it was the fatigue from the journey, but I fell asleep shortly after going to bed. Chapter Two: Television Reporter vs. Android I was woken up early by a pre-set alarm. After a nice shower and a shave, I sat down at the terminal to order some breakfast. After starting the blender, a basic menu appeared on the screen, with about thirty different items. The menu was somewhat similar to what you'd find in small restaurants in old North American city centers, except it didn't include the things I ordered yesterday. I initially considered asking Lizi for help, but then I thought it would be too much trouble to ask her for special assistance every time I ate! Besides, her job couldn't just be about taking care of my personal needs. In the end, I ordered breakfast set meal C, which turned out to be a ham sandwich, a boiled egg, and a cup of coffee (it looked like it). Comparing the dishes as I ate, I couldn't help but be impressed by Lizi's computer skills once again. After breakfast and with everything ready, it seemed a bit early. But I wasn't sure I wouldn't get lost again like yesterday, so I decided it was safer to leave early. I pulled up the base's layout map from the terminal and tried my best to memorize it. Sure enough, I got lost again in no time. At least I realized I wasn't cut out for serving on an aircraft carrier. While asking for directions, I encountered someone who seemed even more out of place at this military base than Riki. She was wearing a baseball cap, a thin, straight-cut sweater that practically revealed her chest, and work trousers—a rather oddly dressed, large woman. Furthermore, she was equipped with a large 3D camera that resembled a surface-to-air rocket launcher, and she even had synchronized camera goggles attached to her face. Who exactly is this strange woman, who has never appeared in any previous records? "Hey! Who are you…?" "Are you asking me?" "That's right! Who are you? It seems you're not part of this base!" "Tch… When asking someone for help, you should at least introduce yourself first, that's basic politeness, isn't it?" "Ah, I'm sorry! I… I'm Captain ōsumi, I just reported to this base yesterday. Is that alright?" The big woman suddenly whistled and said, "Whoa… even later than me! That's really strange!" Although I didn't know what was so strange about her, her attitude was really infuriating! "Alright! Now can you tell me who you are?" "Eek... I'm a war correspondent dispatched by ABS, have you heard of them? You must have, right? ABS is the largest of the four major television networks! And I belong to a media service company called harbour.net.service, a small outsourcing unit within an outsourcing unit of ABS!" "You guys are really capable, managing to get interview approval!" "Yay! We officially obtained permission from high-level management! Because the general manager of our parent company is He Jun...""I have a special relationship with a high-ranking official in the military! Okay?" Although it was authorized by high-ranking military officials, there are many competing systems within the military, or power struggles between units of the same level within the same agency. This case might be the result of one unit acting unilaterally and without authorization. As an intelligence officer, I couldn't help but become interested in this complicated and ambiguous relationship. And these guys really know how to pick their timing; of all times, they had to come now! "But then again, although the Freedom Union granted us special permission to come and interview, they restricted the scope of our interviews by an incredible number of things. I'm practically going crazy! They keep saying this area is off-limits, that area is some kind of secret zone or dangerous zone. To be honest, I didn't come here to film the living conditions or warehouses in the base! Seriously!" As she said this, the big woman angrily pounded on the 3D camera. "This professional, high-precision 3D camera of ours isn't just for show! And I'm not here for sightseeing! My goal is to capture some more in-depth, more thrilling, and more stunning exclusive footage! Honestly! Our section chief just talks a lot of nonsense and is incredibly stingy when it comes to interview fees. He only booked one seat on the space shuttle and pushed everything onto me. What an idiot! That's the situation! Captain! Can you think of a solution within your authority? You should be able to handle things here, right?" This guy rambled on for ages without even giving his name. I really couldn't take it anymore. He said the interview fees were being cut, but I bet most of it turned into bribes to the military. I finally couldn't resist reaching out and ripping off the arrogant female reporter's camera goggles! "Ugh!" "You'd better show some respect! Not only do you not introduce yourself, but you also wear this thing the whole time you're talking to people. Is that what you call politeness?" To my utter surprise, what appeared beneath the goggles was a timid expression, like a frightened deer! "I...I'm sorry! Um...my name is...Monica Brown! I...I was rude just now, I'm so...so sorry! I uh..." What an impolite big woman! Oh no! She's practically a character from a Slewyn Davis novel with a dual personality! "Um...that! My camera goggles..." "Is this it?" So I handed the goggles back to her. "Ah...thank you! I'm sorry!" But as soon as Monica put on the goggles, she seemed to switch off and reverted to the rude and arrogant person she had been before! "Yay! General, my apologies! I really don't know what I would do without this!" "You mean that thing? And also! I'm not a general!" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean any harm! Boss, please forgive me!" Although she's different from Rikiko, she seems to be another eccentric. "Shh... I already apologized, but I'll show you something interesting! Come with me for a second!" Monica said, turning and striding away without waiting for my reply. First Huang Li, then Triporte, and now this Monica—there are so many people in this base who won't listen to anyone! Although I left early, if I kept wasting time with this strange, big woman, I might really be late. So I decided to ignore her and turn to walk in another direction. However, after Monica noticed my indifference, she came back and grabbed my arm, half-forcibly pulling me in the direction she indicated. "You don't understand? I'm not interested in listening to your rambling anymore!" "Don't be like that! It won't take you much time! I promise I won't waste your time!" "Then tell me first, what do you want me to see?" "It wouldn't be fun if I told you first! You'll know once you see it! Shh... I guarantee that even if you walk around the base a thousand times like this, Captain, you'll never see anything this interesting!" Hearing her say that piqued my interest. Why is it that I can't see this by myself? What is it? From a work perspective, I should also have a need to know about this kind of thing. "Okay, I agree! But you have to let go of my hand first!" "You can't back out now! Boss is a reasonable person indeed!" Monica immediately revealed her beautiful, straight white teeth and smiled happily, even giving me a thumbs-up. After walking behind her for a while, the surrounding lights seemed to dim. There were piles of various equipment and supplies stacked on one side of the corridor, probably because there wasn't enough space in the warehouse. I guessed this area was a less frequently used area, so the staff used it as a temporary warehouse, and deliberately turned off the lights to save electricity. At that moment, I felt like an innocent passerby being dragged from the main street into an alley by a pimp. "Oh dear! Although I don't know where you're taking me..." I had barely finished speaking when Monica covered my mouth with her hand. "Shh... almost there, please don't make a sound, okay, boss!" Hearing her say that, I had no choice but to obediently shut my mouth. "But... where exactly are you taking me?" "Shh... almost there... almost there, just trust me!" "Okay... okay! I'll do whatever you want! But could you please change that weird 'shh... shh...' sound?" "Uh... um... I'm sorry, boss! That's asking too much!" This guy really is starting to look more and more like a pimp! "Okay! We're almost there. From now on, you can't even make a sound while walking, understand?" Although I still didn't understand what was going on, I had to do whatever she said for now, so I carefully tiptoed forward. Not far from us along the passage, I could faintly hear a woman's voice, seemingly deliberately suppressed. "Ah...heh...oh! Don't do that..." It sounded like she was in pain, but upon closer listening, it wasn't quite like that. If I wasn't mistaken, it was the sound of "doing business." "Monica! What's this?" "Hehehe... Since the boss is a man too, he definitely wouldn't hate this kind of thing, right?" Of course I wouldn't hate this kind of thing, but that has nothing to do with whether I like it or not, after all, this is a military base. Wait a minute! If we consider the recent inefficiency problems at this base, I should take this opportunity to find out who's so obsessed with this kind of thing that they can't even carry out their missions smoothly. That should also be considered part of my mission! After convincing myself with this reason, I decided to move forward again, this time with Monica carefully following behind me. "Hehehe... Boss! Are you mentally prepared?" "You're so noisy!" Anyway, this is also part of my mission! At least in my mind, more than 50% of what I'm doing is for work! As I got very close to the source of the sound, I peeked through the gaps in the equipment. They were lying in a well-concealed gap among the equipment, a place with far less traffic than a regular warehouse, making them much harder to spot. Looking through the gap, I could see a space about the size of a bed on the other side. This must have been deliberately left when the equipment was being stored. Upon closer inspection, I noticed a thin blanket on the floor, indicating it was a planned operation. While I was still wondering which unit they belonged to, I realized they were both women. They must be female members of the assault team; one was Tiana, one of the female team members I'd encountered running yesterday, and the other was a new face. They lay together, head to toe, frantically licking and caressing each other's genitals. The unknown girl's right hand was inserted into Tiana's vagina, rubbing it back and forth incessantly, while her left hand was also busy, skillfully teasing and stimulating the petals and stamens around the vaginal opening, her movements varying between excited and gentle. "Ah!" Tiana suddenly cried out, stopping her actions and arching her back. "Ah... um! Huff... Nym! It's so stimulating... ahh..." Nym seemed to ignore her pleas, still single-mindedly attacking Tiana's sensitive spot. "Ahhh! Ni... Nim..." Under the intense stimulation, Tiana couldn't help but bury her face between Nim's legs. She then parted Nim's petals, rubbing and grinding her tongue as she inserted it directly into Nim's already overflowing, honey-like opening. "Swoosh..." Tiana's head swayed from side to side, her tongue diligently twisting and turning inside Nim's vagina. "Hmm... Ah... Ah!" Nim's movements slowed unconsciously. "Tiana... Ti... that..." "Hmm... Hmm!" Both of them stopped moving for a moment. I suddenly felt a jolt, wondering if we had been discovered, and quickly pulled my head back. "Don't be afraid, it's okay, boss!" Monica whispered.Whispering in my ear, I peered closer through the crevice and discovered something resembling a man's penis emerging from between Tiana's kneeling thighs! Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a fake prop. Such a thing wouldn't pass inspection, let alone be found among standard military equipment or even mixed in with personal belongings. It seemed they had probably made it at the base using something like soft resin pipes! Tiana gently touched the tip of this artificial penis near Nim's vulva. "I'm going to go in!" "Hurry up!" At this moment, Tiana's slender waist twisted back and forth, the tip of the fake penis touching Nim's opening with each thrust, but it didn't go in. "Ah...don't tease me!" Nim's waist seemed impatient, twisting incessantly. So Tiana matched her rhythm, swaying her waist and slowly pushing the penis in. In an instant, the fake penis had smoothly slid into Nim's wet and hot honey hole. "Ah...it's there! So good!" Accompanied by Nim's intermittent soft moans, Tiana continued to twist her beautiful waist curves. "Ah! Ah...ah..." Tiana stopped her waist movements and asked Nim how it felt. "What's wrong?" "You're so naughty! It's okay, watch how good I am!" Nym thrust her hips forward from below, pushing that thing back up again. "Ouch! Ah... no... no..." Tiana, not to be outdone, pushed that thing down again. "Ah... ah... ah! Ugh..." "Damn it... ah... ah!" Perhaps the stimulation between them was getting stronger and stronger, Tiana could no longer support her body, and she collapsed onto Nym. Due to their weight, the breasts of the two people stacked on top of each other were squeezed out of shape, popping out from both sides of their bodies, and wriggling with the rhythm of their bodies. Sometimes, as Tiana and Nim swayed their hips, the artificial penis would thrust in and out between their petals, and even from where we were hiding, we could clearly hear the squelching sounds of air and fluid being squeezed. Watching them embracing tightly, covered in sweat, their tongues intertwined in their passionate kiss, I finally believed what people had said: women with women can be even more intense than men with women. Monica whispered in my ear, "How's it going, boss? Hard? Hehehe..." What a low-class woman! No! I should say she's low-class because of the glasses she's wearing. It seems their lesbian performance will continue for quite some time, and I can't stay here any longer. "Alright! Let's go!" I said, getting up and leaving the spot where I had been spying, turning back in the direction we came from. Monica hurriedly followed behind me. "Boss! What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" "Alright! I don't have time to waste with you anymore! I have work to do later!" "Yeah, yeah... you're really stubborn! It must be hard down there too, right? I've heard that Easterners are harder! Hehehe... Where are you going? Aren't you used to the environment here yet? I'll show you the way!" "Sorry to bother you!" "We need to go to the CIC room now!" "Okay! Okay! Leave it to me! No matter how many days earlier you arrive, a senior is still a senior. Holding a little one's hand is a mother's responsibility, but you said we're going to the CIC? That's one of the restricted areas! What a bunch of nagging people, what am I supposed to film anyway!" If this big woman could just say a few less words... no! three or four less, she might be a decent person! "By the way... could you take me in for a bit while you're at it?" "You, don't, even think about it!" Don't joke around! This is the most secretive place in the entire base! "Honestly, why get angry! If you can't, you can't! Fine! Let's go this way!" Monica said, turning and walking away. "Were those two people always doing that kind of thing there?" "It's not just those two! I saw another one just now, the one named Tiana! Whenever the commandos are off duty, they always take turns going there for some fun!" "Always?" "That's right! Although I can't be completely sure, almost all the commandos are involved! What do you think?" All the female commandos are having lesbian sex in the base? This has never happened anywhere else. Is this a long-standing problem? And what does this have to do with the base's low efficiency? "But you haven't been here long, have you? You're quite something, managing to find a place like this!" "Hehe… I, an expert in the broadcasting industry, am at a loss for words! Our line of work is about finding crucial clues where people easily overlook them. If there's even the slightest suspicion, we'll investigate thoroughly, never giving up until the very end! That's our livelihood!" "I see!" It seems this guy has a different sense of smell and sensitivity than I do. Perhaps recruiting this TV station guy as my informant would be a good idea. "Actually, I went through the same thing! When I was a newbie, I couldn't even tell left from right. I was constantly being dragged around by the boss, and before I knew it…" Listening to Monica's words… wait a minute! It was more like she was talking to herself when she finally arrived at the CIC office. It was still early before her appointment. "Thanks so much for your help! And you even told me about something interesting!" "Boss, you're being too polite! Just call me Monica! What's our relationship, right?" I couldn't recall having any close relationship with her, but there seemed to be a lot of people like her among TV reporters! "Well then, thank you, Monica! I'll be taking my leave now!" "Hey... Boss! Wait... wait a minute!" Just as I was about to enter the CIC office, Monica tried to sneak in too. Of course, I wasn't going to give her that chance! "Can't you really let me in for just a moment? Just for a moment?" "No way!" "Boss, don't be so heartless! Besides, didn't I just show you something so interesting? Just let me peek through the crack, please!" Monica said, desperately trying to film me from beside her. In desperation, I had to cover the camera with my hand and forcefully turn it in another direction. "Those are completely unrelated things, no means no!" "Why, why! Stingy! Stinky rock! Ugh..." It seemed Monica had finally given up, muttering curses under her breath as she reluctantly left. *** Upon entering the CIC, Huang Li was already waiting for us. "You're here so early!" "It shouldn't be a problem if I come early, right?" "Oh! Of course!" There was one less person at the duty station. Now there were only three people facing the monitor, a completely different group from yesterday—one man and two women. The man on duty was one of the few men in the base, Warrant Officer Klinpitin Rachel. From my male perspective, he wasn't exactly sexy, but as the saying goes, appearances can be deceiving, so I didn't know what he was really like. When I saw Lieutenant Alice Treander among the duty personnel, to be honest, my heart finally calmed down. Because besides Riki, she was probably the only assistant I could truly trust. "What happened after yesterday's incident?" "Yesterday... Ah! You mean that unfortunate accident?" Her inability to recall the incident immediately strongly suggested she was feigning ignorance. "An accident?" "That's right... Cui, due to her long hours of service in the confined space of the base, couldn't withstand the prolonged mental stress, which caused a temporary mental breakdown!" "Is that so?" "But I do feel sorry for Che Cai, who was caught in the crossfire!" So that's how things ended. "As a result, our CIC duty team has been reduced to a three-person shift system. Luckily, the minimum number of people required for a CIC duty shift is two, so it's manageable!" "So you mean there are no problems now?" "That's right... except for some unexplained malfunctions!" "Okay! Can you tell me what the problem is?" "No problem! Marida!" Huang Li called out to the woman closest to her. "Yes!" Marida's gaze shifted from the monitor screen and towards me. "Report to the captain!" "Understood!" Unexpectedly, Warrant Officer Rachel suddenly interrupted, saying, "Hey... if I want to explain the situation to the captain, wouldn't it be more appropriate for me to do it..." "No! You always ramble on before reporting the key points. There's not that much time!" "Is... is that so?" After being scolded by Huang Li, the man didn't dare to say anything more. Although his technical abilities weren't apparent, he seemed like a fairly ordinary person. And Marida seemed to be Huang Li's confidante. Although I had done basic investigations and collected necessary information before setting off, the impression from direct contact at the scene was indeed quite significant."It's different." "Perhaps you already know, including the reason of insufficient manpower. Everything here is completely automated by computer! Let's begin!" Marida returned to the screen and began the system check procedure. Circuit diagrams began appearing on the screen, constantly changing at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. If a problem was encountered, the screen would immediately freeze and notify the operator of the error's location. However, after more than ten minutes of continuous flashing, the circuit diagram cycle stopped, and the message "No system abnormalities" appeared on the screen. "So you're saying there's absolutely no error?" "I've checked countless times and it's still the same result, but there's clearly a hardware problem." "Is the system check program itself okay?" "That's possible. But with the current manpower at the base, it's impossible to completely unpack and check the program! Let alone the entire hardware!" "What I want to ask is, isn't the system check program backed up? A backup created to prepare for unforeseen emergencies should be stored completely separately from the original hardware system, shouldn't it?" "No!" "What do you mean by 'no'?" How could that be! I've reviewed both the operating manual and the entire simulation operation procedure; it's impossible that it's missing! "Both backups (1) and (2) were burned out by a sudden, powerful current without our knowledge!" "What do you mean by a sudden, powerful current?" "The actual cause is unknown, but based on the evidence, this is the likely outcome!" "Could it be sabotage by internal personnel?" "That's even less likely! All CIC personnel undergo extremely strict security checks." "Inspection? That's impossible!" "Then what about the possibility of it being the work of an external intruder?" "Where would they have intruded from? You haven't forgotten wher
