"It seems that there is something wrong with our coordinates. There is no Tree of Life here at all!" Two kilometers away from the coordinates of the Tree of Life, looking at the empty horizon, a soldier helplessly said
said.
"Damn it! Where are we now?" Another soldier felt that he had wasted energy and fuel and also wasted precious time.
You know, the atmosphere will collapse soon, and they will soon have to wear spacesuits to perform missions here!
Even though he was wearing a breathing mask, he could still feel that every time he inhaled the air, his lungs became more and more uncomfortable.
If possible, even if he is surrounded by ten times as many enemies now, he feels that it is better than wasting time and being bored.
After all, he is a soldier, and fighting is his instinct - walking around with weapons like this, looking for people to find relics like archeology, is really not what he likes.
"Go over and have a look! You've come here after all!" A soldier passed over the complaining soldier and continued to move forward with his weapon in hand.
The second soldier also walked over and passed by the soldier who was standing there complaining. Seeing his comrades walking over, the complaining soldier also shut his mouth and continued walking forward.
"Sir! Sir! Oh my god! You'd better come here and take a look at this... damn it!" The soldier walking at the front suddenly shouted loudly on the communication channel.
Hearing his shout, the officer walking in the middle of the team immediately accelerated to the front of the team with his weapon in hand.
At the front of the team, several soldiers had stopped advancing. They stood there, looking down at the ground, as if they had discovered something terrible.
The officer looked in the direction of everyone's gaze and saw the black marks left on the burned ground.
He raised his head little by little and looked into the distance little by little. What caught his eyes was the endless blackened soil.
"Our navigation coordinates are correct...here are the remains of the Tree of Life." The officer said while looking at the soldiers beside him.
The pilot soldier who had been studying the map also looked at his commander at this time: "But... if we take the right path, those... those villages that should, should exist... will all...
Where did it go?"
Everyone felt their hairs standing on end. They had not found any villages or farmland along the way.
They did not see the collapsed walls, nor the equipment and instruments that should have been there.
"We didn't see communication towers, we didn't see roads, we didn't see cars and tractors..."
"We didn't see machine tools, maintenance factories, or billboards... we didn't even see a row of fences!"
"Damn it, am I having a nightmare? We didn't find anything along the way, not even the foundation of the house! Damn it!"
"Yeah! What a ghost!"
"Sir! Sir!" Another nervous voice came from the earphones. Those who heard this voice came back to their senses and looked in the direction of the person who called.
I saw the soldier who was shouting walking to the front of the team, standing there with his head lowered, as if there was something under his feet.
The leading officer quickly ran over, and then he lowered his head and remained motionless. Curious, everyone walked over, and then they saw that where the trunk of the Tree of Life should have been, there was actually a bottomless hole.
Huge pit.
"Those damn intruders... really destroyed the Tree of Life until nothing was left." The officer holding the weapon finally said this.
"There is a discovery here! I found this." A soldier shouted in the distance. Several people around him walked over quickly and saw a familiar mark on a stone.
"It's from a bullet! It's a bullet mark!" Veterans who are very familiar with such marks will know at a glance how this mark was left.
"The angle of incidence was too biased, so ricochet scratches were left, which is normal." A veteran looked up and looked around: "It looks like there should be traces of other battles nearby."
"Look at these shallow pits...do they look like trenches?" Another soldier searched in reverse direction, walked to some rocks, and asked.
"When you put it like that...it really sounds like that." The soldier who was following him was also an expert and agreed: "Look over there! Over there! That's a bomb crater!"
Hearing someone say that a bomb crater had been discovered, people around them gathered around. They discovered that this was indeed a bomb crater, a trace left behind by a horrific explosion.
"It's not the traces of a 155mm howitzer... the explosion looks a bit like a 105mm howitzer!" A veteran said, shaking his head and saying: "It doesn't look like it, the crater is shallower. Could it be left by the 130mm gun?
"
"This is Higgs No. 5!" The leading officer interrupted the veteran's speculation: "Do you think the military department will have nothing to do and transport the 105 howitzer here?"
"Then...are these traces of mortars?" The veteran frowned, preparing to walk over and take a closer look.
"No, these are not the traces left by our weapons!" Another veteran had already walked over, knelt down on one knee, picked up the surrounding soil and said: "There is no shrapnel left, and no prefabricated fragments or steel balls were found...
It was just a pure blast."
"Damn it, we can't find the bullet casings, the remains of the puppet soldiers, and we can't even find the bodies. This is so weird." A soldier looked down at the ground beneath his feet and complained.
They are soldiers, not here to write detective mystery novels. Why would anyone bother to guess what strange things happened here?
"I guess the enemy took away everything, including the bullets we shot, shell casings, weapons and everyone's remains." An officer looked around and said.
"You mean, it's possible that they captured everyone on this planet? They captured more than 2,000 of our prisoners?" The leading officer looked at the other party and asked.
Before the other party could answer, another voice spoke first: "I think those bastards didn't take prisoners, at least... they didn't take everyone prisoner..."
The soldier who spoke pointed to a spot on the ground. The leading officer looked along his finger and saw a pool of black blood on the ground.
