Chapter 209 Jungle Planet Baisheer

On April 2490, 4, at 17:8 a.m. local time, the settlement of the colonists - August.

This is a verdant planet. Looking up from the synchronous orbit, the surface of her radiating star brilliance is so smooth and pure, and the hovering rain clouds seem to be a little bit of whirling white spiral.

The first time I saw this planet, the cheers of the people of Korhal resounded on the transport ship Stillling, the flagship of the colonial fleet.They thought it was the gift and pity of the goddess of fate, but they didn't expect that this was a world of death that was about to bring infinite fear.

Rick Kidd, wearing a set of crimson CMC-250E commander power armor, stood in the command tower of the command center in the center of the August settlement complex, surrounded by officers of the Revolutionary Army under him, among them There is no shortage of officers with the rank of warrant officer.

Originally, Rick had three colonels and more than 20 school-level senior commanders and staff officers under his command, but now the bodies of many of them are hung on tree branches or in the wilderness.

Through the huge glass window in front of him, the planet's azure blue sky, drifting clouds, and warm sun floated in front of Rick. In the distance was a vast green jungle, tall deciduous trees, plants and species Palm trees form a sea of ​​green, and when the warm wind from the south blows through the jungle, it immediately sets off lush ripples.

Rick Kidd recalls the first time he set foot on this planet as if it were just yesterday.

The leader of the First Colonial Fleet, Rick Kidd, was once a member of the Demons of Heaven under Marshal Augustus Mengsk of the Revolutionary Army. Not enough to make it a Ghostbuster.

On this green planet named Baisher by the intelligent lieutenant of the colony ship, ferns, small-leaved shrubs, arbors, and a wide variety of herbs and vines cover the vast land of Baisher.There are dense rivers in the closed jungle, and magnificent waterfalls hang upside down between the emerald green mountains.

The air of Baishir can be breathed without any treatment, the fresh water resources are abundant, and there are fewer types of bacteria and viruses harmful to humans than the main colony worlds in the Koprulu sector.

The light is steady and pleasantly warm most of the year.Baishar has not undergone any terraforming, and has a low-level and fragile ecosystem. Arthropods and primitive insects rule this fascinating world, feeding on stems and leaves or pollen from angiosperm flowers.

The detection spacecraft and scouts sent by Rick to the surface of the planet discovered a gas resource similar to high-energy gas in some places in Baishir.The gas seeps out of deep canyon fissures and cracked surfaces, showing a distinct purple color in sunlight, but the areas where it emerges are barren and barren, no matter how hardy vegetation can survive.

This somewhat caused Rick and the Revolutionary Army colonels to be uneasy, and the alien relics discovered a few weeks later exacerbated this emotion.According to the speculation of the scientists among the colonists, this may be a relic left by the local advanced intelligent civilization or a colony abandoned by a race with interstellar travel, but the reconnaissance team did not find any signs of the existence of advanced intelligent life, nor was it attacked. any attack.

Even if the resource reserves on the planet have not yet been proven, compared with those miasma-ridden or dead stone planets in the universe, Baisheer is still the most suitable near-Earth planet on the candidate colony planet for the colonial fleet.

And if the colonists had to abandon this colony just because of this, they would at least have to sail more to find a planet that could be colonized, and the habitability might be far less than that of Baishere.

After repeated consideration, Rick decided to awaken the colonists in the frozen dormant state in the colonial fleet and conduct a referendum among the colonists.

This is a world that is extremely far away from their home planet Korha, but for these colonists who woke up from hibernation, it seemed that it was just a moment to close their eyes and open them again. In mourning over the destruction of Korhal, unwilling to sail further.

After a long wait, the colonists finally decided to settle down on Baisheer Star.

For the first three months, everything went well.

The colony ships, each a thousand feet (about 300 meters) long, landed on the surface of the planet. The Korha colonists quickly dismantled their mothership, using the ship's decks, hydraulic pipes, airtight doors, and what they could All the materials obtained were used to build the original civic center, residential buildings, power stations, water supply plants, and sewage treatment plants
Soon, the construction of the first road and the first signal base station on Baishir Star also began, and the lights appeared in the jungle like the flames of civilization, just like the first time humans lit a pile of fire on the earth. bonfire.

Seven large settlements each capable of accommodating 20 people and more than 30 small and medium-sized settlements scattered around them appeared on the vast jungle landscape of Baisher. Land was reclaimed and schools were built. Step by step.

In order to commemorate Keha and their past homeland, the colonists of Keha named their new city after the old place of Keha, and everything is developing in a prosperous direction——

It wasn't until a captain who was ordered to investigate alien relics and his company disappeared into the jungle, and a revolutionary army major died in his house in an extremely tragic way, that the colonists realized that there was a place hidden in the jungle. danger in between.

By this time, it was no longer realistic to evacuate Baisher.

In the next month, the colonists were massacred from the shadows. More and more people died on the way to open up the land. The isolated colonies disappeared overnight. The victims were either killed or captured.

Rick's men had less than [-] Revolutionary Army soldiers with power armor, and the rest of the soldiers even wore thin military uniforms and lacked anti-stealth equipment.

If you don't know where the enemy is, you can't launch a counterattack.From the beginning the colonists were on the passive defensive, their territories continually retreating back to their original landing points.

As more and more people were slaughtered, Rick began to build high walls and sentry towers around the settlements, and arranged a large number of patrol troops to guard the settlements, and the number of victims gradually decreased.

"You can't count on the rescue from Augustus, they are probably in a war that is more severe than what we are facing." Looking at the green jungle ocean, Rick muttered to himself.Once a symbol of vitality, green is now a symbol of death.

Rick's subordinates all looked heavy and remained silent.

"Sir, I am Lieutenant Colonel Mozel of the [-]th Division of Steeling, and my soldiers have killed an attacker." At this moment, a deep voice came from the communication network of the command center.

"It's a humanoid creature."
