Volume V, 15: Fighting Nation
Death came suddenly.
Chen Xi was having fun operating the tank, swaying the gun barrels up and down, left and right, and at the same time, letting the chassis drift in the opposite direction in the heavy rain. The harsh alarm sounded suddenly, scaring him so much that he almost turned the tank over and hit the shells in the gun barrel into the air.
"What happened..." Chen Xi had not yet taken An Yumo from the tank, but she heard the speech on the command channel.
"Soldiers disappeared, but they were in the cave. The accompanying personnel did not find anything. Now please come over and watch out for the rest. At the same time, count the number of people. All the firepower is ready. In case of an attack, follow the command and carry out the action."
"It turns out that something is going to happen as if I had a premonition..." Chen Xi looked like she was expecting things like a god.
However, when Chen Xi arrived at the gathering point, he realized that there were more than one missing persons, three of them, two of them were from the same team, and the other was alone. They all had something to do and were left alone, and they never came back. When they changed shifts and counted the number of people, they found that something was wrong.
"Would you send someone to check the nearby passage?"
Chen Xi asked, because of this incident, except for the small number of commanders who were staying in the Crystal Arch with the researchers, most of the commanders had already arrived at the cave where the accident was happening and were discussing and discussing. Chen Xi calculated that he could only pull a commander who had obviously been there for a long time and began to ask about the situation.
"It has been sent, but unfortunately, I only found some traces of drag and attack at the specific place where the incident happened, but no part of the attacker was left. After discussing it, the person who arrived first decided to let some people take care of the scene and the others continued to check in depth." After answering, the commander sighed, "It's so strange. These soldiers were equipped with mechanical armor, but they could not make any news when they were attacked. Are these attackers more powerful than the Zerg?"
"Oh... So that's it. I'm very curious about it. Then I'll go in and take a look first." After understanding some of the situation, Chen Xi decisively abandoned the commander. Relying on An Yumo's absolute force value, he opened the way in front and forced him into it.
The people who arrived first surrounded a circle and only left a hole in the direction inside. After Chen Xi followed An Yumo in, he saw that the ground was covered with broken glass slag and many damaged armored parts, some with bite marks, and others seemed to be twisted by powerful forces. Then they were lifted from the inside.
"It seems like I went in by drilling. However, the soldier seemed to have no resistance and was controlled at once. There were few traces of struggle." Chen Xi judged based on his own experience.
"If we look at this point, the attacker should be relatively large in size and can quickly limit the soldiers' struggles. However, there is also another possibility. The attacker may have more than two types, one restricts the soldiers' movements, and the other crawls into them and directly eliminates the soldiers' resistance. After all, there is only one biological tool that can limit them while also being able to drill. We should not have encountered such a bad luck. The way these attackers come here is also abnormal. The armored helmets have a prompt function and are very sensitive to heat sources and sound wave objects. They can be approached without being discovered. Not only do we stay in the cave, we may need to be careful, but those outside are also."
As a criminal, he is familiar with these aspects and has a comprehensive analysis. In addition, his voice is deliberately not lowered, so people around him can hear it clearly. Therefore, when Chen Xi finished speaking, someone couldn't help asking: "Brother has done this before, so professional?"
When they encountered such an accident for no reason, everyone present was confused. This time they came here not to investigate and handle the murder of unknown creatures, but to guard and fight. When they encountered such a thing, they were completely blind. If there were professionals to analyze it, it would be better than to guess here by themselves.
"Of course not." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "On the contrary, I was caught by them. I just like to watch various detective novels, movies and TV series in my spare time, no less than thousands of them. Therefore, I understand all kinds of killing, covering up traces and hiding methods, which can also help my business development and prevent them from being caught."
"Uh...Okay, it's my mistake. Don't care about what I said just now, you can continue." The person who asked just now retreated in disappointment.
Those who knew Chen Xi's situation laughed in their hearts. After the battle of Tifa and the spread of these three days, many people knew about him, but some people still don't know. For example, an officer like them who generally looks down on criminals is not interested in knowing who the guy who can capture wild beasts is, so this misunderstanding is caused.
Chen Xi didn't care what they were thinking and continued: "As far as I know, the Zerg should not have such strange attack methods and interests. They always like to kill us directly. In fact, I think that if those researchers are right, then we are facing the native creatures of this planet, some guys who like to lie down at night, and these caves that are not sure how deep are probably their nests to hide from the hot environment during the day."
"There is another point. When I stayed with the researchers, I found that the strange lead-white liquid in the river on this planet can isolate the detection of many electronic instruments after solidification. This is probably why the Space Prison cannot effectively detect this planet, and our helmets are difficult to work."
Chen Xi's words are hard to be convinced. After all, no one knows the functions and uses of the equipment they have better knowledge of. In addition, this matter involves researchers. Although sometimes they think they are troublesome, they must believe in these people who are at the forefront of the discipline.
After the words were finished, the commanders almost had enough impression of the attacker. The one who reacted quickly was already shouting in the command system: "Be careful, don't rely on the function of your helmets anymore. Turn on the searchlight for me and look at it with your eyes. This time, the guys may be more terrifying than those on the planet Tifa. Those who are still in the cave will also pay attention to me, aim the direction of the muzzle into the cave..."
As for Chen Xi, they already fully agree with him and no longer feel dissatisfied with him from being a criminal to being a commander. Instead, they all think that this kind of thing is normal. They can find so many attackers' characteristics in a short time. If used in war, they are a natural tactician who can easily discover the characteristics of the enemy and make targeted arrangements.
At this time, the soldiers who had previously sent to the depths of the cave also discovered it.
"Sir, come here quickly. The situation here is strange. It seems to be a ritual that only intelligent creatures can do..."
However, only a few people actually went on.
Considering that the location of the accident was not deep, even if there was danger, they could return to the most sufficient place for troops in time, so most of the bored commanders came over to see what was going on. But now they went deep into the cave. If an accident occurred, it would be difficult for them to come out in time, so they only asked a small number of commanders to take their soldiers down, and Chen Xi was one of them. By the way, there were two researchers who were forced to be dragged over.
They are very dissatisfied with this kind of thing because they have made major discoveries in the research of light curtains. If this discovery is transformed into results, it can even push the federal technology forward for hundreds of years, directly affecting the outcome of the war. Now they are suddenly abandoned and are pulled over. Anyone will be angry.
"That kind of light curtain is a completely different fast movement technology from our warp engine and the Zerg's wormholes. If we study it and combine it with the warp engine technology, we don't have to worry about the Zerg's military strength advantage, and even in a local area, it can form a numerical advantage over the Zerg."
The researcher, who was set in the air by two soldiers, still shouted, obviously still obsessed with the work outside, hoping to use words to make the elm-heads in front of him understand that nothing is more important than what they are doing.
But Chen Xi calmed the two of them in one sentence, and then his eyes became extremely fanatical: "The things inside seemed to be related to the mysterious race, which seemed to represent some of their customs and hobbies. If we can meet their preferences and learn more in detail, we should be able to quickly establish a foundation for communication with them."
"Why didn't you say it earlier? Take us there..." The two of them immediately said anxiously. Compared to the research from scratch, it was obvious that relevant people would provide guidance faster.
"You have a way." The commanders who followed him breathed a sigh of relief. The words of the two walks are like a mountain are not useless. Without these researchers' help, they would not have thought of interpreting what the things they found belong to.
The location is in a larger cave inside. There are many holes on the wall of the cave, probably connected to many caves. From time to time, you can hear the sound of airflow. As the soldiers said before, the layout here looks like a ritual.
Many strange-shaped shrunk skulls are hung on some stalagmites on the ground, some are shaped like sharks, some are streamlined with shells, and some are covered with sharp thorns. In short, they are all things you can't imagine, but the common point is that they are all very big, and their heads are almost the size of their bodies.
There are some strange symbols engraved next to the stalagmites, which are similar to what Chen Xi saw in the crystal building on the planet Tifa, and it is just in time for two researchers to interpret it.
"What is written on it? Judging from the placement, it feels like a kind of spoil used to commemorate and show off." Seeing that the two researchers seemed to have gained something, Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.
"You guessed it, this is a move they show off, and it is part of the trial. After the end, the spoils are displayed in this cave for later generations to see it." The older researcher nodded, "From this perspective, this mysterious race seems to have not yet escaped from the barbaric war habits. The concept of such treatment of enemies is still at the level of primitive society, and there is a fanatical belief in the pursuit of personal strength."
As he said, his tone became a little solemn: "If this is the case, then we must be careful. Once we become enemies, it will be difficult to change. Unlike the wars in our modern times, which are often full of compromises. With this old concept, their attitude towards war is almost endless."
After hearing this, Chen Xi immediately sent his words to all the commanders to let them pay attention to this point. In his mind, he also heard the system prompts at the same time.
[Note: You have established a conceptual understanding of the gods through other ways. When the task difficulty remains unchanged, you will receive a reward of 200 evolution points].
"Sure enough, science is the primary productive force, and even the acquisition of evolutionary points is the same."
Chen Xi was proudly speaking, the researcher's voice became strange: "However, something seems to be wrong."
"What's wrong?" Chen Xi asked in confusion, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. This decisive and death flag was coming again.
"There are some problems with the dates on this planet. Although I don't understand that it is the specific day and time on this planet, the intervals are the same. The closest date appears, which seems to be within this time period. In addition, the subsequent part of this information will have warnings left by visitors. The most common meaning in it is a tide. It seems to be warning the latecomers. If you don't have enough strength, it is best not to get involved in this place during the tide."
"You want to say that we came to this planet during this period of time that they warned us. And we just arrived at the dangerous place." Chen Xi found that the researcher's tone at this time was not as uncertain as it was, but rather, he couldn't believe it.
He undoubtedly felt like he was asking the sky speechlessly, and pointed to the caves on the surrounding rock walls and said, "In other words, it is very likely that in a certain period of time, a lot of dangerous guys will emerge from here."
"Well, that's what I can say." The researcher nodded blankly.
The two suddenly looked at each other a few times, then ran along the original path, and said to everyone while running: "Notify others and go out of the cave quickly, there will be big problems here soon..."
The so-called crow's mouth is like this. When Cao Cao is said to be there, Cao Cao is here. Before he finished speaking, no one needs to remind him that many people have already identified the situation from the sounds coming from the cave. It seems that some things are rushing out quickly, causing the buzzing sound of this connected cave to become louder and louder.
"Oh no, we are just where they gather!" Chen Xi screamed, guarding day and night, but unexpectedly, the death flag this time was too wide to affect, and he didn't even let him go.
And outside, after Chen Xi's reminder, the federal army obviously prepared for combat in advance.
Searchlights radiated from various vehicles and tanks through the heavy rain and fog and shone on the sky and ground. Guns were also ready. Pay attention to any movement around at any time, and the caves were also in the caves. After all counting, they found that the number of missing people was not three, but seventeen, which were discovered later, so they became more careful and did not miss anything that appeared in the caves.
However, this preparation seems to be a bit insufficient.
"Look at the sky, what is that? There are so many things flying... Oh my God, there are too many!" A soldier who was staying in the cab at the front of the front line suddenly pointed to the sky in horror and shouted.
Below the thick black clouds, a group of things came from all directions and gathered towards the valley. They were numerous, and even the rain curtains that fell became sparse. Many people even found that their radars were covered with dense green dots, which was similar to that.
"I feel that this is no less difficult than fighting a bug..."
Before they could report the situation to the commanders, at the same time, the war had already started to fight among other caves that were not connected to the cave where Chen Xi was staying.
Many people saw some huge black shadows sweeping past the stalagmites above the cave, and then there were monster figures that pounced down. Fortunately, everyone was prepared and did not sneak attack by this attack. They quickly launched a counterattack and fought against these strange creatures.
Only when they saw these creatures clearly and were truly seen from close range did they realize why the soldiers were unable to prepare for timely preparation before.
It turns out that these things only move quickly when they are illuminated by lights and will reveal obvious dark colors. If there is no light, or when lurking, they will not be visible at all. But even so, if you don’t pay attention carefully, they will be confused with the surrounding basalt.
"I finally understood why I discovered a planet suitable for living creatures to live in will enjoy a huge profit of 10% of the subsequent development. Faced with these strange creatures under unknown circumstances, they will have strange behaviors, and they are completely fighting for their lives!" At this moment, many people no longer despise those who have become rich, but feel like they are sympathetic.
And when the fierce gunfire sounded, almost all evolvers could hear a sound.
[Note: The tide of the planet pej-x4 starts once every half month, and the task difficulty increases to e+].
Then there were all kinds of shrill roars in the command system.
"Everyone is about to go out of the cave. I will only give you one minute. If it's too late, it's a dead end..."
"Bastard, no matter what you put in it, just give me some slightest slap in it. If you see any abnormal movement, you will open fire to me..."
"All the people outside have paid attention. Change the ammunition you should use, target the air and hit the fuck..."
The Tiger King-style giant cannon tank opened its support, filled it with split shells, and pointed the muzzle at the top to fire violently.
The front cover of the raider assault chariot was pulled open, and automated robot missiles took off, and when they reached mid-air, they all looked for their own targets.
