Chapter 102 Dangerous Environment

Fang Linyan stood up and said:

"That's right, sir, the three of us are not airsick or violently vomiting."

Jason stared at Fang Linyan for a few seconds and said:

"I seem to have seen your information somewhere. You have served in friendly forces and held the rank of second lieutenant, right?"

Of course, Fang Linyan had the rank of second lieutenant, but he was certified in space. He didn't expect that it could be used universally here, so he said:

"Yes, sir, these two are the guys I brought here."

Jason nodded suddenly and said:

"No wonder he's different from these sissies."

After hearing Jason's words, the goat and the vulture immediately said in the team channel with envy:

"Let me go, does this regular military rank actually have such an advantage? Can it be directly recognized by the indigenous people?"

Fang Linyan didn't expect such benefits, and it was a bit of an unexpected surprise.

The vulture added:

"If we don't want to take this medicine, we can put it away. If I'm right, this thing should be a long-acting stimulant. To put it simply, it is a new type of poison."

"The short-term effects are very obvious, but long-term use will be very harmful to the body. However, the military focuses on immediate combat effectiveness and does not pay attention to these."

Jason waited until everyone had finished taking the medicine, nodded and said solemnly to the people next to him:

"let's start."

So the people next to me began to distribute the materials, and everyone attending the meeting had one copy.

Fang Linyan took a closer look and found that the information was very detailed and related to a certain area called Area 323.

The information is clearly marked as Level 2 confidential. Once leaked, it will be submitted to a military court for a special trial! That is no joke!

This information will clearly list the requirements of the Starry Sky Consortium, that is, a group of people will land first to clear a safe area.

Then a sentry camp named No. 323 was established on a high ground as a bridgehead and temporary base for subsequent development. This may be expanded into a military base in the future.

Jason made a quick move, and a three-dimensional terrain map formed by the optical brain popped up next to him.

It can be clearly seen from above that the landing site is a hill made of red sandstone. The terrain here is relatively high, only about two or three square kilometers, and the surrounding area is the most common terrain on the planet Moston---

--The endless swamp.

Intuitively speaking, this place is like a small island appearing in a swampy ocean.

The reason why the military chose to camp here was to occupy key terrain and gain a tactical fulcrum.

The swamps on the planet Moston are very scary. The swamps can be entered on foot, but there are dots of quagmires in them, ranging in size from half a meter to several hundred meters in diameter.

There is no obvious difference from the appearance, but once you get stuck in a quagmire, it will be very troublesome. Therefore, you can only explore the swamp on foot. Only after the quagmire area is marked can mechanical vehicles pass.

According to statistics, more than one-third of the current non-combat casualties died while exploring the swamp.

In fact, the scary creatures in the swamp are not the most troublesome problem. The most troublesome thing is the huge purple mushroom tree nicknamed "Big Lieba" growing in it.

The scientific name of this fungus-like plant is Bacillus australis, which is tens of meters high. Its rhizome is as thick as a giant water bucket, as wide as three or four meters.

Every night, the solitary mushroom head located on the top of the spores will divide and produce many spores. After the spores are separated from the body, they will burst and release a hazy mist.

The specific components of this fog are still being analyzed. We only know that it contains at least "methamphetamine", "isopropyl fenfos" and other terrifying ingredients. Its density is comparable to morning fog in winter.

However, the visual effect still has beautiful little purple lights, which will soon cover a large area.

This poisonous spore with a strong "hypnotic hallucinogenic effect" caused a large number of non-combat casualties.

Especially in the first few days of landing on the planet Moston, many mercenaries who tried to enter the hills at night to carry out search work were recruited, and then fell into the swamp without any sense of resistance.

Go down and die.

They fell into the trap because they trusted too much in the filter masks they carried.

However, the poisonous mist is not the most dangerous. The spores of the fungi are the best killers of death. They do not need to be inhaled and will be absorbed as long as they come into contact with the skin.

The unlucky ones who are caught will fall into a fatal quagmire without knowing it, and then be eaten by some predators lurking in the quagmire. The gastric juices will corrode, decompose, and turn into their nutrients.

And these predators will go to the roots of the fungi to excrete and fertilize. This strange ecological cycle is also jaw-dropping.

After learning this information, the purpose of the Starry Sky Consortium to build Armed Outpost No. 323 here is very obvious, which is to provide a stable rest and supply area for the exploring troops with this point as the center.

In this case, with Armed Outpost No. 323 as the center, at least several hundred square kilometers in radius can be included in a stable exploration area.

Fang Linyan noticed that the tasks their group of logistics personnel received at this time included but were not limited to:

Build four armored bunkers and three anti-aircraft missile towers in the camp. The materials and equipment will of course be provided by the Starry Sky Foundation.

As for the other facilities in the camp, such as water towers, supply stations, medical rooms, etc., these facilities do not have high requirements for defense strength. They will be airdropped directly by transport aircraft after the defense facilities are properly constructed.

These conventional buildings have long been modularly produced and can be assembled in just one or two hours like building blocks.

After finishing talking about these things, almost an hour had passed, and Jason said simply:

"Now, everyone, stand up, take your backpacks and follow me!"

"Boys, I'm very sorry that you don't have time to sightsee in New Watchfort. We have to go to Highland 323 to start work immediately, otherwise, the bastard above me will kick my ass hard."

"As for me who is in a bad mood, I will definitely let you recall this unforgettable time! GOGOGO!"

***

Therefore, less than two hours after leaving the shuttle, Fang Linyan and his group were herded back into another Unicorn II modified aircraft as if they were chasing a duck.

Then he formed a formation with the other four aircraft and took off together.

No one complained. After all, those guys who were so weak due to airsickness and vomiting seemed to feel energetic again after taking the medicine.

The flight this time was a bit boring. The only highlight was that about fifteen minutes after takeoff, we encountered a Sidewinder missile attack from below.

It was just that the driver who was fully attentive noticed the warning on the radar immediately and directly released a jamming bomb, successfully detonating the missile.

Then the driver controlled the fire control computer on the Trichosanth II modification and opened fire fiercely, turning the place where the attacker was below into a sea of ​​flames.

After an hour of flight time, the target area was finally reached.

As the shuttle began to slow down and then hover, everyone began to look at the environment below.

It can be reached from the porthole of the shuttle. It is different from the picture shown on the 3D model. It is completely covered with bushes and thorns are everywhere. After a person lands, the bushes will even reach the chest and neck. Location.

This is the most vexing question.

Because of this terrain, it means that people's sight will be greatly obstructed, and predators can easily shuttle through the gaps in the bushes below to launch attacks.

The firepower and range advantages possessed by humans will be suppressed to the limit.

At the same time, such bushes will also cause the ground to be extremely humid, and a large number of alien poisonous insects will breed here. Maybe they will not be fatal in a short time, but they will make people who stay here for a long time exhausted. , so painful that I don’t want to live.

After witnessing the current situation on Highland 323, everyone started making noises because the situation before their eyes was completely different from what was shown on the 3D model.

There was even a big man with a flat head who seemed to be a hot-tempered man. He cursed and said angrily:

"Damn it, I must stuff the head of that stupid donkey who drew the topographic map into the toilet! This is the so-called bare red wasteland!!?"

His words undoubtedly resonated with the others. Fortunately, at this time, Jason, the leading officer in front, stood up and looked around.

He was a tall man, with his hand on the gun at his waist, and his gloomy expression was very oppressive. Wherever he looked, the noise immediately subsided.
