Returning from the abyss

Chapter 529
"Captain, I have communicated with them."

Three or ten minutes later, Tiemei's communication came over, and he could hear his mood was a little depressed.Everyone on the team channel could hear the voice, and Spade spoke first: "Tie Mei, what's going on with them?"

"Let's talk about the situation first. The clothes on the four people are all damaged to varying degrees, which can be judged to have lost their protective properties. Before the disease of the phantom star has not been confirmed to be cleared, I think they may have been infected."

"Is there any basis for judgment?" Lu Ning took over the conversation.

"Not this one. I let them sit in the back of the car and are returning. Their team was attacked by a B-level creature. Both the captain and the vice-captain have died. Now the remaining four people... one scout, one assault, one medical and a technology."

"Attack of Class B creatures?" Qiu Shu was a little surprised.

Tie Mei paused for a while before answering: "That's what they said. We haven't discussed the specific situation, and it's not easy to discuss... Now two of these four people are a little emotional, and the other two seem to be terrified gone."

"Naturally, many of them, including you, are not soldiers." Lu Ning was not surprised. "It's normal to have extreme emotions in such a situation, but since you are willing to come back with you, you should be appeased?"

"I can still do that. But Captain, can we really let them into the outpost?"

"Since no signs of infection have been found, it's okay to bring it back. We are short of manpower."

After Tiemei brought people back, everyone except Longmai came to "greet" these people, and the four people who came felt a little flattered by this formation.

Of course, Lu Ning was actually doing the injury test.

The one on the assault soldier was the most obvious. There was a diagonal tear from the left shoulder to the right side of the space suit. Except for the innermost layer of superelastic fibers still slightly connected, the outer layers of protection were all shredded. Naturally, this would not have any biochemical protection effect.The same goes for the Scout, who has hundreds of fingernail-sized holes on his abdomen and chest. If it wasn't for this layer of clothing to block it, he might have turned into a honeycomb.

As for the other two, it was better. The medical soldier only had a three-way scar on his right hand glove, and the technical soldier had a diamond-shaped cut hole in his leg.

In addition to the dirty marks on their bodies, it goes without saying that the helmets of the four people are all transparent, and Lu Ning can easily see their emotions from their expressions—they are all young, in other words, the experience in the team The rich ones are probably all dead.

"Now... you guys change your clothes first, and then I need someone who is calm enough to explain to me what happened. I am the captain of this team, and I will ask your wishes later."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she raised her hand, and Qiu Shu immediately led the four of them to the isolated locker room at the outpost.

"Tie Mei, come with us and tell us your impressions of these four people. I think our team also needs to get to know these few people who may work with us in the future."

Tie Mei pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm just a martial artist, so my perception is unavoidably biased. Of these four people, two combatants are obviously still in a state of excitement. If you want to ask, I suggest asking The commando Kong Gu, he should have some combat experience, he hasn't lost the vigor of a young man and is also a little more mature, he shouldn't give you too extreme views. As for the scout Qingniao, she is a bit...too young, I can understand her anger and sadness about the death of her comrades-in-arms, but being emotional will make people die in this kind of place, either this time or next time."

"We have a peer who is calm enough, I think they can communicate well." Lu Ning glanced at the bayonet next to him, and the bayonet was also stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Tie Mei laughed twice, and then continued: "As for the other two, I can't judge from the professional field, but at least they are not very good at fighting. The technical soldier Lei Wang has clearly shown a war-weary mood. Normal conversation, but the previous encounter obviously made his logic a little confused, I can't quite understand his words. The medical soldier's needle pulse, the performance is very similar to the kind of person who encountered the battlefield for the first time, dull, mixed emotions, Not having occasional vomiting is pretty good."

"Medical soldiers shouldn't have this kind of problem." Yang Hao snorted, "Death is what they come into contact with the most, and strange corpses can always be seen."

"Need I remind you? We are not medical soldiers who graduated from a military academy." Spider silk retorted unceremoniously, "For us, treating diseases and soothing wounds is a daily experience, we have never faced monsters and the battlefield."

"However, standing here yourself is a living counterexample. When you explore the outpost, you don't feel any discomfort with those monsters." Yang Hao sneered, "Unless you are the kind of well-informed guy." He deliberately put The word "well-informed" is very heavy.

"There is no point in arguing about this, and individual differences cannot be ignored. In this case, I will talk to Kong Gu, the bayonet is in charge of the blue bird, the spider silk is in charge of the needle veins, let the thundernet assist the work of the dragon veins, and Qiu Shu prepares drones and satellite communications Signal, we will investigate the location as soon as we understand what happened to their team. Clarinet, Iron Eyebrow, immediately go to the production line to manufacture gravitational nuclear bound bombs and cracking armor-piercing bombs, brush pens, insect baits to prepare biological lures and fog cloud fillers , Spade, you go out immediately and adjust our entire investigation system."

"Yes!"

After arranging everyone's tasks, Lu Ning walked into a conference room. About 10 minutes later, Kong Gu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Captain DU-003, thank you for your help." He bowed solemnly to Lu Ning.

"Sit, it's normal for colleagues to help each other, and I also need to know what happened to you. The location where you appeared is not too far from us."

"You will choose me, probably because I am more suitable." Kong Gu is not self-effacing, he also understands the situation of his teammates, "Generally speaking, we have encountered two B-level Eudemons, they are good at sneak attacks, and this The two B-level phantom beasts have many subordinates."

"Subordinate?"

"It feels like this, because those phantom beasts will coordinate with the attacks of B-level phantom beasts to attack in an orderly manner, just like an army."

Lu Ning raised her eyebrows, then motioned for him to continue.

"However, those phantom beasts that are almost all D-rank can't pose much threat to us. The most important thing is the sudden attack of the two phantom beasts. Can you give me a drawing board?"

Lu Ning opened the drawer and took out a tablet computer for him, Kong Gu took it and quickly drew two sketches.

"The two phantom beasts that attacked us, one is a fish with black and white sides on the left and right sides of the body, it looks like a goldfish, the colors are clearly separated from the middle, it can swim in the air, flexible The degree is extremely high, large flakes of water can be sprayed out from the mouth or gills, and the scars on the blue bird were formed after receiving the attack from the front."

"Receive the attack head-on?"

"Yes, she protected the needle. I was surprised that she was alive... Oh, please don't get me wrong, because the deputy team died from this kind of attack. His protective suit failed to block the attack. He was injured by hundreds of people. water droplets penetrated, but the blue bird only damaged the spacesuit..."

"I'll discuss the puzzling things later. What about the second phantom beast?" Lu Ning moved his eyes to the next picture, which was a gray creature with a triangular head and three pairs of praying mantis-like sickle feet.

"In addition, this one has the same effect as the chameleon, and its invisibility ability is stronger. Our detector did not respond to it at all. The captain was cut off in an instant by it."

"If it's just invisible, it's not enough, right?"

"It can change direction without damage through ejection. This is the deadliest place. The place we encountered was a forest and mountainous area, full of trees and stones. It only ejected four or five times and we couldn't react to its movements at all. Fortunately, it is not far from the wilderness at the foot of the mountain, so we were not chased after we finally ran there, but I was hacked. By the way, it has many hard thorns on its body, so it will hurt if it is scratched.”

"Thank you."

Lu Ning looked at the two pictures and thought about it.Based on Konggu's description alone, she can probably guess what these two creatures will look like when they attack. It is probably enough to insist that they are B-level, after all, the danger level of creatures with the ability to annihilate the team is not low.

But compared with the high-altitude discharge creature that I saw before, it always makes people feel a little worse.

"Kong Gu, I know you're angry."

Not long after, Lu Ning withdrew her gaze and looked at Konggu again.The young man was indeed able to hold back his emotions, but his tone and demeanor still faithfully reflected his heart.He also hopes to use the strength of Lu Ning's team to carry out "revenge", but he knows that if he wants to succeed, he must pay something first.

Very normal emotion.

"But what I have to tell you is that currently we don't have the strength to face two B-rank Eudemons."

"We can prepare." Kong Gu's hand on the table trembled slightly, "I am a commando, and I know what kind of weapon model reserves we have. An outpost can easily be turned into an arsenal. If we need, You can level that mountain without even going over."

"You are right, but an attack that can destroy a mountain may not be able to kill a B-level Eudemons." Lu Ning casually turned on the screen in the conference room, "Do you know the grading system of the alliance?"

"...Sorry, please explain."

"C-level warning means that a team with strong combat effectiveness and tacit cooperation is needed to deal with it. This is the definition of the military department. And such a team is enough to infiltrate cities, decapitate and assassinate, and even disrupt the normal order of a small country. Military use The gap with civilian use is about here."

Kong Gu's expression changed: "Then what about Grade B?"

"B-level creatures can easily affect the surrounding ecological environment, and they can easily crush the planet-level defense line deployed by the army. If this doesn't give you a real sense, the military once recorded the annihilation record of a B-level creature. In the absence of the navy, the ground troops used missiles, laser cannons, incendiary, magnetic storms and other weapons to attack it continuously for five days. .”

Kuku was silent.

"Although our weapons and personal qualities have improved, the military's danger level is not static and will increase simultaneously. I am just giving you an example many years ago. If it is now, like what you encountered—— Most of our detection methods are meaningless to them, and our attacks are basically in vain. Even if two nuclear bombs go down, they may not be able to kill them, but will startle these ferocious monsters."

"...Is there no way to kill them?"

"Yes, but we can't do it. We are a regular army. If we are members of the elite team, we can encircle and suppress the B-level." Lu Ning projected a map on the screen, "But although it is still We cannot avenge you, we still have other work to do, first of all, can you point out the direction for me?"

Kong Gu nodded, and quickly marked it on the map.The distance is less than a hundred kilometers, which can already be regarded as dangerous.

"Okay, Kong Gu, now I want to tell you that we also saw a B-grade creature near here before, not the two you encountered, it passed by in the sky, and we also got two of its eggs. "

"There is still B-level?" Kong Gu asked in surprise.

"Yes, are you aware of something now? The number of B-class creatures on this planet is far higher than we thought, at least there were not so many in the advance team's investigation many years ago."

"What should we do?" Kong Gu's expression finally paid attention to this matter, and he seemed much more rational.

"We have some countermeasures, but we lack manpower. I know that Leiwang and Acupuncture have been stimulated, but it's okay, I don't need them to go to the battlefield, they can stay here and improve our strength from another angle. As for you And Qingniao, are you willing to stay and help us develop our strength enough to attack B-level creatures?"

"I'm fine...but I have a question." Kong Gu hesitated, "I've heard about the phantom star virus. The advance team may have been infected with that, and almost all of our previous protective layers of clothing have failed Already, maybe already..."

"Then, at least we are companions before you really get sick." Lu Ning stretched out her hand, "We still haven't made any progress on this virus, and we're not even sure of its existence. Helping people, it's not in keeping with the military spirit of the Union."

"You... are very good at saying such beautiful words." Kong Gu smiled wryly and held Lu Ning's hand, "The captain and deputy team are also like this. I'm sorry that I can't call you captain yet...How about you, sir?"

"You can call her whatever you want. Let's go see how the blue bird is doing, shall we? I have arranged a suitable communication partner for her."
