First, he took advantage of the Terra Empire's low-altitude and low-speed transport vehicle to fish in troubled waters and escaped from the enemy's encirclement. Then he flew in the predetermined direction for nearly a day and night, and then abandoned the transport vehicle and walked for nearly a day. Finally, the escort team

The five members, namely captain Awen, deputy captain Yue Han, machine gunner Mai Kun, medic Wang Qing, and communications soldier Liu Li, finally arrived with the wounded Mian Xing and the unconscious ace pilot Gao Lanlan.

Outside a dilapidated and abandoned town.

Obviously, that dilapidated and abandoned town was the final destination of their escort mission!

However, due to the previous transport plane crash and being surrounded and hunted by the Terran people, they arrived here more than three days later than the scheduled time in the mission.

So, when they carefully groped into the town and found the coordinates described in the mission, when they entered the ruins of the huge and dilapidated building, in addition to seeing the mess everywhere, such as that

They found nothing except the broken corpses of some subspace demons, some food residues and the feces of unknown creatures, urine and vomit.

Here, they did not find any subspace demons, nor did they find the creatures that produced the food residues and the feces, urine and vomit of unknown creatures, and they did not see the one who was supposed to appear and come to rescue them.

'Green Job''s top secret delivery mission targets friendly forces.

"Hello!"

"anyone there?"

"we are coming!"

"Is anyone here?"

Of course, several people were very confused about this, and after waiting patiently for a while, the already impatient machine gunner McQueen impatiently shouted in the ruins on the spot.

"Shh!"

"Kunzi, shut up!"

"Keep your voice down!"

"Are you crazy?"

In response, McQueen, who had just finished shouting, naturally received angry scoldings and blank stares from all the team members who were still intact, including the two captains, Wang Qing, and Liu Li.

"There's no one here!"

McQueen didn't mind at all, because he didn't see any enemies or friendly forces either visually or on the individual radar, which had an effective range. Therefore, he just shouted and he didn't feel anything.

Big deal.

"Okay, okay!"

"It's okay if I shut up, right?"

But in view of the glares from the team members, he finally had to respond angrily and hid aside, instead of continuing to yell.

"..."

Captain Awen didn't pay attention to Mai Kun. He just scanned everything around him with blazing eyes and cautiously. At the same time, his brows were furrowed and his heart was full of doubts as he looked and thought.

According to the original plan, they should meet the people who came to receive the mission items here, but at this moment, except for the mess on the ground, the corpses of some demons and the traces of life left by those strange creatures, they saw nothing.

arrive.

He doesn't know what that means, and he doesn't want to know what happened here, let alone what kind of creature left those traces. He is only worried about whether the mission can be completed, that is the key.

The key!

"team leader!"

At this time, deputy captain Yue Han carefully walked to Awen and said softly:

"It seems like something is wrong here."

"I find……"

"There seems to be something hidden around, and..."

"You have also seen that the bodies, feces and food residues of these subspace demons are definitely no more than three days old at the earliest."

"The latest is today!"

"even……"

"Maybe it was just left behind?"

While gritting his teeth and speaking, Yuehan's hand inadvertently touched the huge chain sword on his waist, seeming to be ready to fight at any time.

"..."

Awen nodded, but he didn't say anything more. He just looked around with eyes that revealed a hint of uneasiness.

"what are you saying?"

"Is there an enemy?"

"Is it a devil?"

"Or those damn Terrans?"

Due to the existence of the battle channel, everyone naturally heard what deputy captain Yue Han just said. Therefore, machine gunner McQueen asked in surprise. At the same time, he subconsciously raised the machine gun in his hand and loaded it.

Be prepared to deal with any emergencies.

"..."

Wang Qing, on the other hand, carefully took care of the wounded Gao Lanlan and Mian Xing. At the same time, he carefully hid behind the three of them and paid careful attention to the movements around them.

"..."

As a communications soldier, Liu Li was of course constantly trying various methods to use communications equipment to contact the outside world, such as the friendly troops who came to receive mission items.

"team leader!"

"There are no signals from any friendly forces around!"

"The whole town is not within the scanable range!"

However, she did not receive any signal within the interfered range, which forced her to frown anxiously and report loudly to the captain Awen.

In her opinion, since there are no friendly signals nearby, it undoubtedly means that there are definitely no friendly personnel around. And since there are no friendly personnel, it means that the responding personnel are no longer here. In this way, they were still here just now.

can only be enemies.

"Walk!"

"Go to the front and have a look!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

After thinking for a while, Awen finally decided to take a look at the situation in this small town.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

As a result, a few people began to carefully explore the ruined town with the wounded, and their slightly heavy footsteps began to echo in the empty ruins.

pity……

Until half an hour later, when they returned to the mission coordinates, which was the hall of the ruins of the huge and dilapidated building, they still found nothing.

"What do you think?"

"Should we continue to wait, or should we leave here immediately and find the nearest stronghold for work reporting?"

Seeing that he had returned to the starting point, Captain Awen frowned. He couldn't think of a reason and was a little undecided about giving up the mission. He had to turn his head and look at the deputy captain beside him.

"..."

Na Yuehan first looked around, then pondered for a moment before shaking his head and sighing:

"I don't think we can waste any more time here."

"First of all, the condition of the injured cannot be delayed."

"Secondly..."

"I don't know when those Terrans will catch up again. If we are driven out again, we will be dead!"

"besides!"

"I always feel like I'm being watched by something. It's not very safe here..."

After saying that, Yue Han glanced around again with deep eyes, seeming to be unusually wary of this place.

"I totally agree!"

"team leader!"

"We really have to leave quickly. Anyway, there is nothing here, and the friendly troops who were supposed to be here to support us are not here either, so it's not an option for us to stay and wait."

Hearing Deputy Captain Yue Han's suggestion to leave, Machine Gunner McQueen quickly interjected in agreement with his voice.

Although he also knew that the mission was important, in his opinion, the life safety of Gao Lanlan and Mian Xing was even more important. They could first find the nearest stronghold and treat those two people, and see if there was anything going on at the mine base headquarters.

No matter what the arrangement is, if it doesn't work out then I can just come here again, it's no big deal.

"But……"

However, as a medical soldier, Wang Qing hesitated:

"If we leave now, what should we do if the rescuers come back and can't find us?"

"Furthermore, our wounded are in urgent need of treatment. The medicines I brought with me are only for emergency use. Mianxing is fine and can still hold on, but Kelanlan may not be able to hold on for us to walk back to the nearest stronghold."
