Chapter 691 New Opportunities (Part 2)

Latvia is a country that hasn’t even had an industrial revolution yet.

The most advanced place in this country is the lord's castle, which has cars, guns, computers and televisions, and a variety of modern industrial products. But outside the castle, or even just outside the castle walls, there are villages and fields owned by the lord. On the ground, there are only the pattering of feudal era huts.

On a large scale, the use of animals for farming will only appear in the properties near the Grand Duke's Castle. A little further away, there will only be Latvians running around to avoid the various taxes collected by the lords——

A nation that clearly has rich land and has not been disturbed by war has to become a wandering nation because of its lord.

But this weak and primitive country ushered in high technology, which gave them a new life in this fertile hill and canyon area——

The solar panels in the mountains and the graphene batteries that are constantly being smuggled in from EU countries are enough to support the operation of a small amount of agricultural machinery and equipment and prosthetics.

Christopher did it very seriously: he knew that the biggest requirement of this base was secrecy, and everyone here must have extremely high loyalty.

Loyalty is difficult to cultivate in people, but if they have a strong sense of hatred for their enemies, hatred can have a similar effect.

Many people have physical disabilities, and most of these disabilities are caused by wandering: some were frozen during the winter, some were chopped off by the lord's soldiers, and some were broken while escaping.

Most of these disabled people have suffered enough from homelessness, and homelessness is inseparable from the Grand Duke of Latvia.

But if they survived, there must be an entire wandering group. By developing these disabled people, and then creating a solid connection between the disabled people and their group, a small mountain community was established.

Outside the mountain rock base are houses made of wood and stone. The bio-adhesive fluid from Atlas Group has greatly improved the strength of these simple materials, allowing them to be better built on the mountain.

In the distance is a small piece of cultivated land, which grows food that matures for more than a year. However, these cultivated lands are mainly used to provide people with a sense of security and familiarity with work after installing prosthetics.

The stable work of working from sunrise to sunset gave them peace of mind. The enemy lords surrounding them gave them a sense of urgency. Their high resistance to hardship brought a high degree of obedience, allowing them to use brain-computer interfaces to receive sufficient knowledge.

There are a total of 450 people in this camp. Their true creativity may not be as good as the scientific research talents produced by outside universities, but they are completely high-level technical workers.

Most of these people were simply dressed with holes in their clothes, but shelter from the wind and rain, a stable life, and a lot of knowledge kept them in a very good mental state.

The clothes are torn but not dirty, and the building quality is not dilapidated.

They sat in the town square in an orderly manner, looking at Lille with reverence in their eyes——

The metal body was not something to be afraid of at all. On the contrary, they felt at ease with the sense of power that Lille showed.

The emotions of more than four hundred people were sensed by the negative energy, and Lille's sensors once again experienced strange disturbances. This group of disturbances was labeled by him.

Trust and surrender.

This is pure surrender and reverence, even madness: in their perception, the future they expect is highly unified with Lille's orders and instructions——

If Lear instructs them to die for this place, they will die because it is the right thing to do.

This emotion awakened some memories of Lear. This was the first time he felt this emotion in this world, but it was not the first time he felt this emotion.

He wanted to say something encouraging, or to build relationships with the people present and get to know them better.

But he found he didn't need to.

More complex and strange feelings welled up from Leer's memory.

In the end, Lille chose to be silent, just remembering the faces and expressions of each of them, turned around and walked into the base between the rocks again.

Christopher was at a loss: they had completely accepted Lille's rule in their hearts, and even Lille's softest breath would be regarded as law.

But Leal wasn't even breathing.

Fortunately, the words Lille left appeared on his visual system:

[Lille: Alert, I see our scouts entering the surveillance area. The Grand Duke of Latvia may do something stupid. 】

Christopher was stunned and adjusted his vision to the camouflaged drone located on the edge of this paradise:

In order to control the situation in Latvia in real time without causing alarm, he trained some scouts to infiltrate local villages and communities.

These scouts have the most advanced bionic prosthetics, the most realistic artificial skin, and horses enhanced with implants——

Now these scouts are speeding back to base and something is happening.

[Contact: Martin Lee]

[Martin: I'm glad you didn't die, but I knew you wouldn't die so easily. I just didn't expect you to become Iron Man. 】

[Martin: But I prefer the name Doctor Doom. 】

[Martin: We are now in the Atlas underground bunker. The National Guard and nearby military bases have restarted their air defense systems. Unless Ellis wants to abandon other states and cities, or directly drop nuclear bombs here, we should be safe, for the time being. Safety. 】

[Martin: Skye is still in a coma, but Connors said her system is good and her vital signs are still intact, but it's hard to say when she will wake up. 】

[Martin: Peter used the lizard serum and is currently lying in the restraint room for observation. There is no big problem for the time being. 】

[Martin: Frank and security are looking for opportunities to retrieve some equipment. In short, they are gathering strength. 】

[Martin: We're all in the room now, okay - it was work time when it happened. 】

Atlas Group has three underground functional areas with air-raid shelter functions. Although the incident occurred suddenly, the most important research and equipment are basically underground.

Professor Connors, Dr. Otto, Dr. Toombs and Atlas' most cutting-edge scientists and engineers are still there.

[Martin: But the supplies in the underground space are only enough for us to last about a week. There are still many refugees in the New Future District, and we have to find a way to move. 】

[Lille: That's enough. 】

This set of information was transmitted to a nearby military base through Atlas Group's covert antenna.

Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, military bases would transmit signals directly to the other side of the earth through satellites. However, due to the unprecedented cyberspace storm, they completely lost control of the military satellites——

All is lost.

So this round of signals is actually transmitted in a very primitive way, by loading the information onto a fixed-wing drone, using propellers to send the aircraft into high altitude, and then using aerodynamics to send the drone into the EU signal area.

Very slowly, but that's all.

At present, most of the overseas military bases and troops are under the control of Ellis, and they have no way to escape because of the need to maintain dominance. The local troops basically only have Hydra agents and those space carriers.

But Hydra agents were lurking within the military. After what happened with General Ross, Rhodes understood that it might not be wise to issue orders rashly at this time.

The standoff continues, but Lille must sort out New York within a week and find a way to restore global communications.

It is impossible to fly directly over to kill the space carrier and rescue people:

The energy of the Ark reactor has been reduced. Until he obtains advanced enough equipment to seal the raw materials into vibranium for nuclear fusion, he can only maintain activity through charging.

Latvia can't get that much energy.

Fortunately, he has a new opportunity

[Unstable energy is about to explode. 】

[Countdown: 1~2 hours. 】
