Why don’t I have such fear and sadness when facing death?
While Mu Fan was thinking, he suddenly stood still, frowned, pointed at a suddenly shaking grass spike three hundred meters away and said, "There's something going on over there!"
Several people looked over and saw that only the outermost team was very close to it.
A student from Dingchuan Academy seemed to notice the noise over there, and walked over with a gun in hand without consulting his teammates.
Suddenly, a line began to be drawn in the distance as the grass spikes swayed.
"There's a situation!"
Finally the old wolf spoke, his tone sure and serious.
At the same time, the red grass behind the student dwarfed, and a black shadow instantly shot out.
puff!
The sharp forelimbs suddenly appeared on the student's chest.
The student's eyes were stunned, and he looked down at the reddish-brown joints protruding from his chest. Blood was pouring from the corners of his mouth. He pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand but did not have time to raise the muzzle, and then lowered his head feebly.
"Bang!" The sound of a bullet hitting the ground attracted everyone's attention.
With a thud, the body fell to the ground, and the black shadow disappeared into the grass.
"Enemy attack!"
"Tactical formation!"
"Fire coverage!"
Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!
Compared with the students' chaotic shooting, the special operations team's shooting almost blocked all escape routes in that area in a fan shape.
Plop, plop!
"Squeak!" A sharp cry sounded, and the grass began to shake rapidly.
But the firepower covered it much faster than the movement over there.
In one full minute, the grass was shortened by more than 20 centimeters.
Dark green juice kept sputtering out.
Until there was no other sound, people stopped one after another.
Lin Hao said coldly: "Who was attacked just now?"
"Reporting to the commander, Snow Scorpion Team, this year's specially recruited student - Jiang Ke."
Upon hearing this name, the students holding guns stared blankly at the bodies on the ground.
This is their teammate who has been fighting together for half a month. As soon as they set foot on this land, they have already left their lives here forever.
Many people felt chills in their hearts because this death came so suddenly, and even now they haven't seen what exactly hit Jiang Ke.
The captain of the Snow Scorpion Squad looked at Lin Hao, gritted his teeth, and saluted: "Report to the commander, the Snow Scorpion Squad did not take good care of them, please apply for punishment!"
Lin Hao stared at him and finally let go: "Go and see what is in the grass over there? All firepower is on alert!"
"Yes, sir."
The captain held the pulse rifle and slowly pushed aside the grass with his feet, and then moved forward step by step.
In just over three minutes, that area was completely exposed to people's sight.
A large piece of limb shell was scattered among it, which had been beaten to pieces. The thick juice was stuck to the bottom of the grass and was still dripping down.
Taking out the biometric identifier and scanning a relatively complete carapace, the captain turned around and said, "Major, it's a cave beetle of the Zege tribe."
Lin Hao was furious when he heard this. He took out his military telex and dialed Major Zheng Rui's number directly. When the other party answered, Lin Hao went up and cursed angrily: "Didn't I say that we have cleared an area of 35 square kilometers!
Why was it attacked even though it was shown to be a safe area?”
"Attack? Where are you?"
"6 kilometers away from Base 3."
"We have cleared fifty square kilometers of safe area, but this is not absolute, because we found that the Zege tribe's invasion method is very strange, and we cannot guarantee 100%." Zheng Rui's voice came out quickly, "
At the same time, your area is no longer within the safe area."
"My student is dead! Now tell me there is something wrong with this map."
"I'm sorry. There is nothing wrong with the map. It is the identification map of our expeditionary force. It belongs to the undetermined safety area. The color is different from the base. Moreover, we evacuated Base 3 and did not conduct routine inspections of the adjacent areas.
Clean up.”
"you……"
"Report to Major, the thickness of the remaining carapace is 9 mm, and it has an excellent filtering effect on radar."
Damn it, Lin Hao looked at the yellow-brown carapace that was presented and shouted to Tianxun again: "Where are your exoskeleton armors? We need twenty of them! Speed!"
"I'm sorry, Major Lin Hao, I can't give this to you. They are a second life for my soldiers. The expeditionary force can no longer afford such a rapid attrition rate."
Snapped!
Tianxun was thrown to the ground hard by Lin Hao, and the hot air spurted out of his nose was like an angry bull.
"What's wrong, Major Lin?" the person next to him asked.
"It's okay! Everyone is on alert, forming a tight formation and returning to the base."
"Why?"
"What's wrong Major!"
…
"Quiet!" Lin Hao looked at the group of students who asked questions and said: "Our situation is worse than imagined. The expeditionary force now refuses to provide exoskeleton armor and other corresponding expedition equipment! And their so-called safe area
The mark is not open to us at all, so from now on, we will do everything on our own!"
Everyone returned according to Lin Hao's arrangement.
On the way back, people were in a very low mood.
The first time I went out, I returned halfway, and one of my companions died innocently.
Fortunately, we didn't encounter any Zergs until we reached the base.
As soon as they entered, all the captains of the special operations team were called away by Lin Hao.
Hei's voice rang in Mu Fan's ears: "I have seen the synchronized video on your helmets. These are the lowest level bugs of the Zerg tribe. They are far from the real fighting Zerg. I guess you will have to start again soon."
Distribute equipment and tactics."
"Mu Fan, I am ready to sneak into the central system of this base. When you are fighting against the Zergs, your sense of smell and hearing are sometimes more useful than the visual ones." After speaking, Hei Qiu was silent, and he should have been prepared.
He had infiltrated the central control system of the base, but why did Hei take the initiative to infiltrate? Mu Fan didn't think much more.
It should be a spontaneous instinct that Hei automatically enters the network in his area.
Mu Fan shook his head and didn't think anything more, because he had already seen Luo Jianjin coming back and waving to him.
"What's wrong, Captain Luo?"
"Come here, the mission has been rearranged. There is a batch of supplies on the star-borne ship we are traveling on. However, it was originally equipment exclusive to the ship, but Major Lin just used his authority to unload all of it."
"What's there?" Lao Lu and Yin Shuai were interested and asked at the same time.
"20 load-bearing exoskeletons, 25 individual combat exoskeletons, 60 individual light armors with built-in life support systems, 2 spider tanks, 10 B-class explorer mechas. There is also a small ship-borne repair robot.
Production workshop.”
Is this emptying the starship?
So there is only an empty shell left of this star-carrying ship?
Seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, Luo Jianjin said solemnly: "The death of the student this time was too sudden, which put a lot of pressure on Major Lin, and the 131 Planetary Expeditionary Force was very unfriendly to us. Major's
It means that basic wartime equipment can be built in Base 3 in a short period of time."
"Biological remediation cabin, ore smelting device, solar energy collector, fresh water purification collector, small machinery manufacturing workshop..." The two people were dazzled by these terms.
Mu Fan, who was beside him, was drowsy. He really couldn't understand these proper nouns.
But the first one who couldn't stand it was the voluptuous Tracy. She yawned and the thorny rose spoke lazily: "Ape, can you just tell us what you need us to do?"
"The major said that our combat scenes will be faithfully recorded through tactical helmets and shipboard detectors. Now that we are here, we must do something. The expeditionary force will expand outwards at bases 1 and 2. We
Develop to the north of Base 3."
“What is the scope and purpose of development?”
"Conduct a terrain survey, confirm the mineral reserves, and then eliminate the Zege tribe near the crystal mine."
"Understood, how to arrange the order of the team's attack?" Mu Fan asked.
"We are the No. 1 team, so we will conduct the first round of area detection soon. Laolu, you will drive in a moment. The spider vehicle is a vehicle with good cross-country passability. We use the vehicle-mounted drone to first detect the nearby environment.
It has the latest SRA radar, which can detect electromagnetic waves and heat source induction comprehensively. This is a high-end gadget on a space-borne ship."
Luo Jianjin pointed at an automatic carrier robot that was slowly approaching behind him, "The above is the detection equipment I just mentioned. You can choose it yourself. The mecha is temporarily not equipped due to energy supply issues. It remains at the base for mobile support at any time and takes on responsibilities.
The main force in the offensive."
Tracy grabbed a set of light gray individual light armor and carried a sniper rifle towards the parked spider chariot over there. Yin Shuai chose a set of individual combat exoskeletons. The armor wrapped in a circle of machinery looked...
The momentum when going up is quite amazing.
The remaining ones, Lao Lang, Lao Lu and others, only replenished their ammunition and walked towards the car body.
"Captain, why didn't they choose?"
"Rookie, these equipments all need energy to drive. For Laolu and I, one is scouting and the other is driving. What we need are more flexible limbs."
"Ignore them, Mu Fan makes your choice," Luo Jianjin said.
"I don't need it, thank you Captain Luo." If given the choice, Mu Fan would only choose the mecha.
But Mu Fan had no choice but to refuse these equipment that would slow down his speed and body coordination.
"Okay, then you follow me and choose some weapons. You have to choose this time." Luo Jianjin compromised, but made a mandatory request.
Mu Fan looked at the equipment on the giant pallet of the delivery robot, and his eyes lit up when he saw a silver alloy rod more than one meter long.
"I want this."
Luo Jianjin glanced at it, frowned and said, "You want a laser spear? What about the thermal weapon?"
It turned out to be a laser spear. Mu Fan almost said that I want this stick. Hearing Captain Luo's words, he shook his head, "I'm not good at shooting, so I don't plan to choose a thermal weapon."
"This reason doesn't make sense. With good physical coordination and your physical fitness, the stability of holding a firearm is far better than that of others. Forget it, your kid's close combat ability is indeed good, and Commander Ruan
You specifically told me to give you more 'stuff', and this is treated as special training."
Mu Fan touched his nose helplessly. It turned out that he was so easy to talk to, and there was an element of Ruan Baldhead in it. In any case, he really didn't like firearms now. The first time he met firearms, he almost lost his life.
From Luojia Star to Amethyst Star, I have almost died at the gunpoint one after another, but the natural disgust in my heart is still difficult to eliminate.
If he had to be forced to use a gun, Mu Fan would definitely remove the Vulcan cannon from the tank without a second thought.
After Luo Jianjin got on the spider chariot, he connected the tactical map in his hand to everyone's military sky message.
As Lao Lu kicked the pedal violently, the four huge wheels of the Spider Chariot spun rapidly, and the Tiger Hunting Team disappeared from everyone's sight.
"That poor boy is gone. I hope he dies outside." Someone beside Zhang Shaotang said flatteringly.
However, his flattery was only met with a cold snort from Zhang Shaotang.
"Shut up, if something happens, none of us can escape."
…
When the drone overhead swept over and the spider chariot rolled over, Luo Jianjin had already controlled the Vulcan cannon to clear out more than a dozen areas where Zeger beetles were hiding.
The excited Lao Lu shouted: "Hahaha, I'm so happy, the spider car can't be driven easily! Boss, you have such a tacit understanding of cooperating with the drone!"
"Haha~" Luo Jianjin smiled honestly, but he refused to let go of the Vulcan Cannon in his hand.
Sitting next to Mu Fan was Yin Shuai, who was concentrating on wiping a pair of goggles in his hand.
The combat exoskeleton armor is temporarily stacked on the back seat of the vehicle.
If there is no endurance energy, every ounce of strength must be used in combat as much as possible.
"This is a real fifteen-kilometer exploration. Hey, I don't know if I will have a chance to kill the bugs in a while."
"Stop talking nonsense, white-haired boy, remember to place an environmental detector every 300 meters. Our team's development achievements all depend on this thing."
"Okay, okay, I got it." Yin Shuai waved his hand and pinned a string of metal balls on his waist.
"The area is almost here. It is difficult for our drone radar to scan the jungle area in front, so everyone must be careful for a while. After arriving at the destination, we will separate in pairs. Lao Lang will go to the front to conduct reconnaissance alone, and the data will be shared in real time."
"Understood." Old Wolf pulled down the combat mask, which is the unique equipment of the scout.
"Tracy is looking for a sniper position. Lao Lu, you lay mines next to the tank. Mu Fan comes with me. Yin Shuai, you can help lay mines or follow us."
"I'm with Mu Fan."
After hearing that he was not grouped with Tracy, Yin Shuai decisively chose to go forward with Mu Fan.
Da da da da da!
boom!
Suddenly, there was a burst of intensive gunfire in the distance, and even the explosion of portable rockets was heard.
The people in the car looked at each other.
What's wrong?
At this time, the tone of Old Wolf, who was looking at the electronic map, suddenly changed: "A large number of friendly troops were found ahead? They are members of the expeditionary force! They seem to be retreating."
A dozen green marks appeared three kilometers ahead of his tactical tablet.
Luo Jianjin looked at Lao Lang and asked: "Does the drone transmit video?"
"No, captain, there is a river in front of us, and a jungle area on the other side of the river! The drone cannot collect images. What should we do now?"
The bearded man's face became even darker when he frowned, and continued to ask: "How far is it from our combat area?"
"Six hundred meters!"
"Then go over first and see what's going on. If they need support, we'll give them a wave of fire support."
"Yes, boss."
Seeing that everyone in the car had no other reaction, Bai Mao curled his lips incomprehensibly. Those people from the expeditionary force were so fucked up that they still wanted to help? Anyway, he wouldn't be ready to help in a while, and he wouldn't be the only one.
The spider car jumped and ran wildly on the red field, and the dense grass was quickly broken and crushed.
After the car made a sharp turn around the gently rising hills in front, the group finally saw the quietly flowing river and the lush jungle.
Hey!~~~
The tail suddenly flicked, and the spider car was steady.
"Tiger Hunting Team!"
"exist!"
"——Attack!"
Tracy stretched out her long toned legs, jumped down, and then raised her left hand as she ran to the edge of the river in a few steps.
A black hook lock shot out directly, spanning a distance of more than thirty meters and hitting the tree crown on the opposite side, and then disappeared directly into the jungle on the other side with the power of the hook lock's contraction.
Laolu had already put on a special electronic auxiliary helmet, jumped off the spider car and laid mines around him.
Luo Jianjin took the lead and controlled the exoskeleton armor and stepped into the river.
As for the old wolf, he has disappeared.
Mu Fan pulled out the unactivated laser spear, touched the combat dagger tied to his leg, and looked at Yin Shuai: "Let's go."
When the two saw Luo Jianjin's figure disappearing behind a slope, the old wolf's voice suddenly came to their ears: "The expeditionary force of 14 people is exchanging fire with the Zege tribe!"
"The Zege tribe has a large number. It is initially estimated that there are more than 200. The types found include beetles with a diameter of about half a meter, guards with a diameter of two meters. There are also... five tiger insects!?"
The old wolf's voice became urgent, "The appearance of tiger insects and low-level beetles at the same time means that there must be a lair of the Zege tribe nearby!!"
"These expeditionary forces have swept into a lair of the Zege tribe!"
"It turned out to be an encounter! The whole team is looking for shooting positions. Mu Fan and Yin Shuai stay away from the battlefield!" Luo Jianjin finally gave the order for the two to evacuate.
But Mu Fan and Yin Shuai, who were lying on the fallen giant tree, looked at each other with blazing flames in their eyes.
