There are three types of deployment modules currently used by the Arbiter. The largest type, the "C67", can deploy 150 to 200 soldiers to a target area at one time. This type of deployment module is characterized by its large deployment volume.
The energy barrier has a high level, fast deployment speed, and excellent recovery efficiency.
However, this square C67 deployment module also has many shortcomings, such as the high cost of one deployment, the deployment of basic warships requires Weir class or above, as a large target, it is easy to become a target on the battlefield, etc., but in general, comparison
Of the other two types of deployment cabins, the C67 is still very reliable.
The other two types of deployment modules, the medium-sized B23 and the small A15-19, are much smaller than the C67.
Filim is currently riding in the medium-sized B23 deployment module.
From the appearance, b23 is a bit like a piece of pitch black soap. This fluid external structure is mainly to improve the deployment speed and the impact resistance required in special battlefields.
It was also the first time for Filim to fly in this medium-sized deployment module. He was also very happy that he was flying in a B23 now instead of the A15 with the nickname "Iron Coffin".
As the smallest two-person deployment module currently in active service, the A15 went eccentric in its initial design and chose a very extreme design style, which was to reduce the design volume of the A15 as much as possible at the expense of the energy barrier.
The deployment speed is increased to the extreme.
But in today's battlefield where high-precision air defense weapons are rampant, the speed advantage of the A15 has disappeared. Therefore, in the eyes of many soldiers, the A15 deployment module still in service in the army is a flying "iron coffin."
However, although the A15 is still in active service, it is rarely used in actual combat by the glorious country's military and arbiters. Most of the time, the A15 is used for recruit training, even if a small deployment cabin is required for actual combat.
The A15-modified 1 double-passenger deployment cabin is safer and more reliable than the A15.
However, the most advanced deployment module currently available to free people like Filim includes equipment such as the A15, which is about to be phased out.
After sighing for a moment, when Filim opened his eyes again, the deployment module had landed on the grass a hundred meters away from the main building of the manor.
Because the landing area had been cleared by the vanguard before deployment, the deployment process was much more peaceful than Filim remembered. It felt like traveling by plane, but now it was just landing.
…
The cabin door opened, and Jin Yuan took the lead in leading the team to rush out.
It's just that there are no enemies outside, so this tension is a little funny.
Felim followed Zhang Yu all the time, and they were the last to leave the deployment cabin.
After all personnel were deployed, the deployment module took off and returned to the battleship.
However, before leaving, it left behind some A19 four-person deployment pods, presumably used to evacuate operational targets.
"Little Fatty, how's it going? Have you found the K-level alien species?" Jin Yuan asked.
Philim looked around and saw a heavy infantryman walking slowly.
This kind of heavy infantry rarely appears in small-scale special operations because it is too bulky and is usually used against heavy weapons such as thinking tanks.
However, when Philim heard the word "K" level, he didn't feel strange at all. Instead, he felt that there should be more heavy infantry.
The heavy-duty soldier known as Xiaopang opened his protective armor and revealed himself. He was not fat at all, but had a round face with some baby fat.
Felim visually estimated that this "little chubby" looked like he was in his early twenties at most.
"I found it, but it's a bit tricky."
"Oh? There's something else that you 'Little Fatty' can't handle?" Jin Yuan was a little surprised.
"Little Fatty" looked at the people behind Jin Yuan, especially Felim, and then said in a cold voice: "You are a kid, big or small. If you call me 'Little Fatty' again, believe it or not, I will give you your head right now."
Unscrew it!”
Jin Yuan laughed loudly when he heard this, and immediately said seriously: "Yes! Chief Chen!"
Chief Chen? Felim thought to himself: 'Is this guy older than Jin Yuan? Tsk...'
"The full name of Chief Chen is Chen Zheng. He was the former sergeant chief of the Sixth Army Corps of the Free Federation Government. Have you heard of the word 'A'?" Zhang Yu asked Firim.
Filim was stunned. Of course he knew the word "A". Although this regiment sounded a little funny, it was one of the few combat regiments in the Free Alliance that still existed after the events of the Golden Bird Cage and the Center Veil.
, is a truly legendary team.
As the commander of this regiment, Chen Zheng is even more famous.
According to rumors, he once single-handedly defeated the human form of Law Angel with a vanguard-class mecha, and successfully protected more than 300 civilians from evacuating the dangerous area.
Although Philim still doesn't believe this story, he has a good reputation and has to accept it.
I just didn't expect that Chen Zheng, who is supposed to be almost fifty years old, would now join the Arbiter, and he looks so young, so it seems that he must have undergone a comprehensive transformation.
Chen Zheng glared at Jin Yuan coldly and then rushed to Zhang Yu, who was at the back of the team: "You said you brought a helper, is this the one beside you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu immediately took Felim forward, and then said with a smile: "Yes, Brother Chen, that's it. He is a well-known 'pioneer' among the 'free people'. When it comes to finding things, there is no one."
There is no one better than him."
Chen Zheng said nothing. He looked up and down at Felim in front of him.
This tall and thin man, who is 1.8 meters tall, has a face that is so pale that it is uncomfortable. Although his eyes are shining, his whole person gives people a lifeless feeling.
But those were not what Chen Zheng cared about. He said to Felim: "The area we are going to enter later is the lower structure of the manor outside the security fortress. It is currently occupied by three K-level alien species. It is very dangerous, so
When the time comes, you have to follow me and don’t make fun of your own life.”
Hearing this, Felim's first impression of Chen Zheng was pretty good. He nodded and said, "Okay."
"Okay, don't be stunned, get ready, we are going down." Chen Zheng clapped his hands, and then everything Jin Yuan brought started to prepare.
Kanehara also consciously handed over the command and returned to the team, just like an ordinary member.
…
Ten minutes later, after clearing out the last S-class mutant entrenched outside the entrance to the lower area of the underground manor, the team officially entered the dangerous area.
And in order to ensure a smooth retreat route, Kanehara left fifteen people on the outside.
Filim counted and found that there were only twenty-seven people including him who actually entered the danger zone.
Twenty-seven arbiters had to face three K-class alien species in an underground structure. This almost suicidal behavior made Filim very uneasy.
Fortunately, the underground structure of this private manor is very spacious, and the team of twenty-seven people can spread out and spread out without being crowded, which makes Filim feel a little more at ease.
But not long after the formation started, Chen Zheng raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
Firim was located at the front of the team and could clearly see three corpses lying in the dark area in front of Chen Zheng.
Judging from the vision module, these three people should be the guards inside the manor.
At this time, these three people had their heads removed, and their bodies were badly damaged...
It stands to reason that Philim should have been used to this kind of scene, but his other identity is Li Shaoan from Earth.
It was rare to see such a real and terrifying bloody scene on the earth where Li Shaoan lived, so Felim's body reacted instinctively. He subconsciously covered his mouth and almost vomited it out.
Kanehara next to Filim frowned: "What? This must be a small scene for you, right?"
Zhang Yu also glanced at Felim curiously. Ferim was a little embarrassed. He covered his mouth and retched twice before sneering: "I am a special person... Even if we meet him many times... I will still feel sick...
…But it’s just the beginning, it makes you laugh.”
Jin Yuan laughed, stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Are they nearby?"
Chen Zheng's attention was not on the three corpses ten meters in front of him at this time. The position he locked was located deeper in the underground structure. Through the pulse feedback field, he could detect extremely subtle vibrations of objects, and now on the left
There is a sign with severe feedback about a hundred meters away.
"Let the team spread out. You and Zhang Yu each lead ten people through the passages on the left and right sides. I will be in charge of the middle area." Chen Zheng deployed.
After hearing this, Kanehara asked: "What about this Filim?"
Chen Zheng looked back and said, "Let him follow you. I'm not too sure about the one in the middle area."
Jin Yuan was startled, frowned and said: "Then why are you spreading your strength?"
Chen Zheng: "Because this alien species is a bit special... I also made a wrong judgment at the beginning..."
"oh?"
"There should be only one alien species here, but I'm not sure where its body is, so... I can only take a gamble."
This was the first time Jin Yuan heard the word "gambling" from Chen Zheng. He originally thought that Chen Zheng was the most stable one.
"Okay, then pay attention."
Chen Zheng sneered: "Don't worry, it's just a K-level mutant. No matter how strong it is, can it be as strong as a humanoid law angel?"
Kanehara chuckled: "I understand." After saying that, Kanehara turned his head and waved his hand: "Follow me, you guys."
The team's reorganization was completed, and Felim also consciously followed Kanehara.
Zhang Yu didn't say anything and left with ten people.
…
After the team dispersed, the advancement speed was significantly accelerated.
Especially for Kanehara, he has a fiery personality, so when he led the team, he just rushed forward without caring about whether he would encounter an ambush.
But this worried Felim badly. He originally thought that he would follow Zhang Yu all the time, which would be much safer.
However, the exoskeleton he wore had a built-in "Puppet Master" system, so Filim could only "obediently" obey the arrangements.
The overall area of the manor's underground structure is not very large, but the structure becomes more complex the further in, and there are multiple deep downward passages, as well as many ancient wells used to pump groundwater.
While walking through it, Felim thought he had entered the underground wine cellar of a European-style wine estate, but there were no barrels containing wine at all.
"Huh?"
The procession stopped.
Firim was startled, thinking he had encountered that K-level alien species.
But Jin Yuan opened his mask, and then asked with a smile: "Do you feel that this area is familiar?"
The ten people who followed Jin Yuan were all Jin Yuan's confidants. They quickly looked around, and then one of them replied: "We are going in circles."
Going in circles? Felim was stunned. He remained highly concentrated throughout the entire process. The landform recording system provided by the exoskeleton also completely outlined the structural framework of the area he passed. However, judging from the existing structural framework, this is not a
Closed loop.
Jin Yuan also noticed this. He smacked his lips and then said: "Turn off all the landform recorders. There is a problem here. We have to find a way out by ourselves."
Everyone followed suit, but Philim didn't. He felt that human perception was the easiest to be deceived, especially in this strange environment, and it would be far better to trust the equipment's records than human intuition.
Kanehara didn't care what Filim did. He pulled out a battle ax made of strong titanium steel from his back, and said, "Be smart, this little thing shouldn't be far from us."
"Yes." Everyone said as they put away their firearms, turned to cold weapons, and switched to a melee defense posture.
Firim is not good at using melee weapons. When he followed Ockham to explore unknown areas, he always acted as a long-range fire suppression unit and rarely participated in direct confrontations, so he still held the kam34 in his hand honestly.[
A kind of common-core thinking rifle, which belongs to the special equipment of the active army].
Seeing Felim's appearance, Kanehara couldn't help but smile and remind him: "Believe me, kam34 will only accidentally injure your teammates in a place like this, and there is no guarantee of your life."
Philim remained silent, choosing not to accept the suggestion.
Jin Yuan did not force it. Seeing that everyone was ready, he led the team to move forward. However, this time the speed of the team's advance slowed down significantly, and before passing a corner, someone in the team would leave a mark nearby.
About ten minutes later, accompanied by a violent explosion, the sound of firefights as dense as a rainstorm came from a distance.
Jin Yuan glanced at the Harmony communication feedback. It was Chen Zheng who had come into contact with the alien species, and the battle had begun.
Here, Jin Yuan also noticed that the surrounding air temperature was dropping sharply.
Those wooden structures that looked very real before began to melt like ice and snow... In the blink of an eye, the surrounding environment underwent earth-shaking changes.
Filim could see clearly that these things did not melt, but turned into particles that were too small to be detected by the naked eye. They quickly gathered after the mimicry was lifted. It seemed that the person who trapped Kanehara and the others before was not someone at all.
It is not an illusion or special structure, but a mimetic camouflage created by the alien species itself.
Kanehara raised his hand and tried to catch the "wisp of dust" flying in front of him, but he missed it.
"Interesting, really interesting." Kan Yuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the K-class alien species in the distance that looked like they were reshaped into sand sculptures.
It was also the first time for Philim to see this type of alien species.
In his impression, most alien species were born from animals and plants native to Gaia through genetic differentiation and recombination, but the alien species in front of him was beyond his cognitive scope.
Biometric identification shows that the target is not a living thing at all, but it can emit macro wave texture that is beyond imagination and even visible to the naked eye.
This is a sign of a higher level of alien evolution and represents extreme danger.
During the process of the reshaping of this mysterious alien species, the temperature has dropped from the original fifteen degrees Celsius to minus three degrees Celsius.
And this cold seemed to be pervasive... Even though he was wearing a top-notch exoskeleton with a built-in temperature control system, Philim still felt a biting cold.
Kanehara smashed the battle ax on the ground, then took off the "Growler" from his back and shot at the unformed alien.
The "Growler", which has the strongest close-range destructive power among the individual weapons currently in service in the Army, let out a terrifying roar, followed by a ripple, and the unformed alien species in the distance was smashed to pieces.
As the dust scattered, Firim was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly retreated, shouting to the others: "Open the energy barrier! Don't let it touch your bodies!"
The people brought by Jin Yuan are all highly qualified in combat, but the distance is still too close.
Especially Kanehara, this stupid young man didn't think that much before shooting.
After a roar, it was wrapped in dust.
The temperature of the air dropped again, and some who reacted quickly rushed forward to try to protect Kanehara behind them, but there were also those who reacted slowly and were killed by the extremely cold dust before even opening their own energy shields.
Everything happened in an instant, so fast that it was unbelievable and unimaginable.
Fortunately, Filim's warning was not too late, and most of the team members still escaped.
This includes Kanehara wearing the first-generation Extremis weapon.
After all, the equipment was good enough. Although Kanehara was standing very close to the front, he was not injured at all.
But the other people who covered his retreat were not so lucky... Even if they saved their lives, the extreme cold emitted instantly by the dust radiation just now still caused them great harm.
One of them even lost his entire arm...
After realizing how big a disaster his recklessness had caused, Kanehara immediately retreated with his team and at the same time used singularity grenades to annihilate the radiation area.
But there was too much dust...
On the way Jin Yuan retreated, they saw more and more dust beginning to gather. This strange and dangerous alien species was devouring everything in its way.
At this moment, Zhang Yu also encountered an unprecedented alien species.
It was a mist-like energy body with a humanoid form. Although the nether energy waveform it emitted showed that it was a member of the alien species, judging from its other forms, it was not an alien species, but a more mysterious species.
Something more dangerous.
However, Zhang Yu was much more stable than Jin Yuan. After encountering the enemy, Zhang Yu did not rush to attack. Instead, he led his team to quickly retreat to an open area and tried to meet up with Chen Zheng's team.
On Chen Zheng's side, what they came into contact with was a blood ball floating in mid-air.
The blood ball seems to have the ability to absorb everything, and the more you fire on it, the wider the area of darkness below it will be.
When Chen Zheng discovered this, their combat space had been compressed to the minimum.
