"Everyone, prepare to defend the firepower points. We will take turns to rest in three shifts tonight." Once inside the colony, Captain Ryder issued the first order.
"Is there any problem, Commander?" Xie Yuan looked at Captain Ryder and didn't understand why he was so cautious.
"Our radar did not find any traces of the shuttle, as if it had never arrived here." Ryder's face was very solemn, and he looked ahead as if he expected something big to happen.
"It means that our colleagues have left Akuz but have not come back?" Xie Yuan guessed?
"No, the internal structure of the shuttle has a vi setting that automatically reports the GPS position to its subordinate ship, no matter where it moves." Ryder explained some details of the shuttle to Xie Yuan, "This setting hides
In the power system, whether you hack into the system or force manual driving, a message will be automatically sent to the mothership."
"More importantly, it is equipped with an independent power supply. Even if the engine is not turned on, the signal cannot be blocked. But this time I just received a report from the intelligence office below the fleet headquarters, and the signal has disappeared."
Ryder looked at Xie Yuan's confused expression and gave his explanation: "Only two situations can happen in this case.
One reason is that the shuttle was placed in an electronic interference area with full channel shielding; the other reason is that the entire shuttle was completely destroyed, exposing the positioning system inside and stagnating."
"So, do you prefer the latter one?" Xie Yuan disagreed with Ryder's decision, "Is this why you want to withdraw the shuttle first? But why do you want to keep us here?"
After Captain Ryder made the decision to station all personnel in the Akuz colony, he ordered the shuttle to leave first and left the marines behind. This made Xie Yuan feel bad.
"Well, our superiors must have asked us to stay here until we find out the truth. For this reason, they even took the initiative to arrange a warrant." Ryder also looked helpless when he said the reason. He was also someone who wanted to retreat, but his superiors did not allow it. "This
This situation is quite abnormal, and there may be some changes that we are not aware of, so rather than leaving the shuttle on the ground where it may be damaged, it is better to protect this last chance of escape."
"Okay, I know you have concerns," Ryder patted Xie Yuan's shoulder and enlightened, "But I promise you we only need to wait until tonight. After tonight, if the warrant has not been issued, I will be fine."
An explanation.
We will go back tomorrow morning."
"Okay, we'll just stay one night." After Xie Yuan saluted Ryder and said goodbye, he also disbanded the temporary investigation team. After all, they were not on the same ship.
However, Xie Yuan and his investigation team were all placed in the first batch of alert sentries. This was a kind of care. After all, Xie Yuan and the others risked their lives to help the entire army investigate the environment, and they deserved a normal schedule.
Although Akuz is a very valuable livable planet, its days seem to be short and its nights are long. At least it hasn't been more than an hour, and it has fallen into darkness on time at six o'clock.
For the first four hours, the night was quiet, although Xie Yuan's mind began to feel unusually restless, which was a sign of perceived danger.
But Xie Yuan could do nothing except prepare himself and warn his familiar comrades not to sleep too hard at night.
Because his hunch was too idealistic and could not be explained and demonstrated using materialistic theories, and publicizing it could only lead to two results.
Either others will think you are a lunatic, or they will think you are a special species and use you for research or even dissection!
Xie Yuan wants neither, so if he really encounters danger... he can only be himself.
Close your eyes and start to meditate on your breathing. This is the only way to rest your mind in a restless room. In view of the fact that during the war, Xie Yuan never left his body without his armor and never left his gun.
In such a state of alert, it would be difficult for anyone to kill him in an instant. As long as he can react, he can immediately launch a counterattack.
Of course, if there really is a strong person who can kill him in an instant, he will recognize it. After all, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
But the enemy was not as invincible as Xie Yuan thought. Although the outcome was still quite messy and he almost got himself involved, he still insisted on thinking so.
The arrival of the unknown monster was not really silent. At least what woke Xie Yuan up was a few relatively distant screams and gunshots...
"Ah!!! Ah..."
"Da da da, da da da, da da da-"
Xie Yuan immediately got up and woke up his companions. He really didn't expect that he would not be able to stay Ansheng even for one night.
There was no need to wear anything, so Xie Yuan rushed out of the temporary dormitory without waiting for anyone else's reaction. As soon as he came out, he heard a soldier making noises to Ryder.
"My brother is outside now, sir. Although there is no reply, I ask you to arrange for someone to rescue them immediately, or allow me to go out. The sound of gunfire is not far from here." A tall Marine stared at Ryder.
Said loudly.
But Ryder took a negative attitude towards this application: "No, the radio has been disconnected, and now assuming that it is no longer safe outside, I can't risk any of you.
Neither the application to organize a search team nor you yourself will be allowed. It is too dangerous outside now, and we should guard our own defense."
"This is fucking nonsense!" The Marine grabbed Ryder's collar and shouted straight in front of Ryder, "I saw you flew the shuttle away early, and why didn't you look at the previous batch of shuttles?
Arrive? This is just an investigation mission, isn't it? What are you hiding?"
"Stand back, soldier, you've crossed the line!" Ryder warned, pointing to the Marine's hand. After he let go, he explained, "I can't tell you a reasonable answer. The information I have doesn't exist.
Duo. I can only tell you that things are very abnormal."
Ryder still didn't want to fool his soldiers, so he could only report part of the true information about this matter. He didn't know the rest and couldn't confirm it.
"Fuck!" the Marine yelled at the top of his lungs.
"What are you doing here?" Xie Yuan immediately came out and separated the two of them, "What happened?"
"My brother was assigned to go out on night patrol, and you should have heard the gunshots and screams." The Marine accused Ryder unceremoniously, "But this son of a bitch, Captain Ryder,
But he was motionless here! Then he told us that things were abnormal and we should not act rashly.
Then why send people? So my brother’s life can be used as cannon fodder and sacrificed at will?!"
"Okay! In the face of unknown dangers, the commander has to think about everyone. If you are really worried, I will accompany you to take a look tomorrow when the visible light is good." Xie Yuan immediately interrupted the daredevil. He didn't know that he was outside.
The person is dead or alive, but this guy needs to be stabilized, "And we should wait a little longer. Maybe everyone is just attacked and okay? Everything has to wait for the radio reply."
Xie Yuan looked at Ryder again: "Captain, I know you think about everyone, but there are brothers trapped outside. We can't ignore it. Please allow me to go and have a look at dawn. My speed is not slow and I won't get out of here."
questionable.
But I have a question for you. I can’t hear it accurately indoors. How far away do you arrange the patrols?”
"About 100 meters, I will send you the specific location." Ryder also breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed the step and went down. He opened the multi-purpose tool and prepared to send the coordinates. "Let me see... um... the details are here.
Location... hmm?"
Ryder suddenly uttered an unclear question. Before Xie Yuan and others could react, he suddenly shouted in horror:
"There is an unknown signal of hostility, disperse quickly!"
Xie Yuan also suddenly felt a vibration coming. The enemy was underground? Then he felt that the vibrations under their feet seemed to be getting more and more intense at this moment.
The enemy was at his feet! Without enough time to warn, Xie Yuan immediately pulled Ryder and the quarreling Marine aside and jumped to the side.
"Bang!" A giant shelled worm over 3 meters long suddenly sprang out from where they were just standing!
"It's a sand devil!" Ryder seemed to recognize it at a glance.
But this makes almost everyone who hears this word change their expressions. The sand devil is definitely the enemy that everyone least wants to encounter!
