death of hope

Chapter 274 "Corporate Warrior" (190) Pandora
Libra Upsilon star area, Pandora star.

Human Federation Colony of Terra,
Obsolete.

A Federal Navy Poseidon-class landing ship painted in dark night camouflage, number 375, is mooring in the outer orbit of Pandora,

There is also a Glory-class frigate next to it, escorted by four Seahawk fighter jets to prevent raids by alien pirates.

The captain spoke through the radio: "Captain, you have arrived at the mission site and are preparing to land the aircraft."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Captain Marcus Lynch inspects the homeland that haunts him through the porthole.

"It's been ten years, nothing has changed, Pandora is still so beautiful."

"It's beautiful. The ocean coverage here reaches 90%. It looks like a sapphire from the outer orbit, but the land looks a little barren. Those black spots seem to have a lot of acne."

"They are huge mines. My hometown is a mining planet. It used to be the industrial pillar of the entire star area. There are still a lot of rare ores underground that have not been mined. Why are they abandoned... Hey."

"Boss..." Mehmadi said, "I've never heard you mention your hometown."

"That's right," Shaft echoed, "Every time this is mentioned, the boss avoids the topic, or pretends not to hear it."

Lynch was still standing by the porthole, with only the blue ocean of Pandora in his eyes, and he didn't seem to hear what his companion said.

"Hey, Sister Sieg, what's wrong with Boss? He looks so bitter...is he in a bad mood?" Wang Hongye asked cautiously.

"It's not only bad, it's very bad, and I'm stunned."

"You two didn't fight, did you?"

"I didn't provoke him, he has been like this recently, in a daze for hours, the coffee is cold,

Talking in sleep in the middle of the night and then suddenly waking up, covered in cold sweat, I was so scared that I couldn’t sleep well, it’s definitely not going to work like this, so I urged him to settle this matter before the end of the contract, so as not to get upset. "

"So the boss has decided not to do it?"

"Well, put down the gun and live a normal life after marriage. This is also my hope."

"Looking at his distraught appearance, there must be painful memories in his hometown."

"Think about it, if you lose all your relatives in your hometown, you will feel heartbroken when you think about it later, and you won't mention it to others."

"The boss's business is my business! It must not be ignored!" Mehmadi said while wiping the sniper rifle.

"Thank you, Big Beard." Sigdelifa looked at her companions gratefully, and she held Wang Hongye's hand: "Thank you, Big Sister, there is still half of the holiday, so I didn't want to bother you."

"At that time, Lodayev and I were surfing on the beach. We saw a message from the company saying that you and the boss had returned to the base. We didn't know what happened, so we contacted everyone and came back.

By the way, how did the boss get involved in the federal government cooperation mission?Isn't our team only doing company missions? "

"He, through the relationship of Major Ron, took the initiative to invite Ying, and it was originally a mission for Staffy's team to fight, so he forcibly snatched it over.
Second Lieutenant McLean, the captain of Staffy's team, was very upset and quarreled on the phone. Fortunately, the old company commander Johnny came forward to mediate. With his face, the matter was settled. "

"Hey! Miser! Your wheat-colored skin is very exciting!" The hacker Xia Fu patted Sigurd Lifa's butt: "Just thank others, don't you thank me, sir? I am a beauty who gave up nightclubs, Come to help."

Shaft tensed his facial muscles, waiting for the oncoming slap, but Sigurdriefa was uncharacteristically not angry, but shook hands with him:

"Thank you for coming, Shaft, I feel more at ease with you here."

"I'm going, what are you kidding, I'm slapping your ass!"

Shaft's complexion changed drastically, and his lustful and frivolous expression became tense: "Hey... Sig, I'm scared of you... Could it be... This planet is really as dangerous as the rumors say?"

"I... I don't know, if you regret it, you can quit now."

"You look down on me, don't you! Cao's! Young master, I must prove that I am a man!"

"I'm the captain. The landing machine is about to be ready. Please check your equipment."

"receive."

Lynch turned around, looking much more serious than usual, turned on the holographic projection and began to explain:
"The mission briefing begins now,
This is a joint action planned by the conservative members of the Terra Parliament, that is, the Red Party, and the funds for the operation are funded by companies that support the Red Party.

Participating forces include an Epsilon sector naval task force landing formation, including the Poseidon-class landing ship we were on, a Glory-class light frigate, and four Seahawk fighter jets.

Since the Marines in the Sector are on leave, our corporate fighters from the McMillan Group will be on the ground.

The colonies on this planet were destroyed many years ago because the mines were dug too deep and awakened the ancient creatures dormant in Pandora. The federal army could not resist this brutal beast, and the residents were massacred, including my family. .

To this day, the surface and underground of Pandora are filled with such terrifying alien creatures,

This is the adult Pandora Blind Beast.

Look at the slide, it's a cold-blooded carnivore covered in tough scales,

It has no eyes, has sharp teeth and claws, and a forked tongue. It has three hearts and three lung lobes. It hunts and kills all organic creatures with its keen sense of smell and ultrasonic senses, and especially likes to prey on warm-blooded mammals.

It can survive in an environment of extreme hypoxia and low temperature. It can enter a dormant state to reduce energy consumption. It will not die after starving for decades. Its vitality is extremely tenacious.

The cost and danger of cleaning them outweighed the estimated mineral resources on the planet, so the Pandora colony was abandoned.

Now let's talk about the mission goal,
When an official ship of the federal government sailed nearby, the engine caught fire and abandoned the ship to escape. The survivors made an emergency landing on the surface of Pandora in an escape capsule, and then lost contact for unknown reasons.

Those who escaped included Baron Caussel, a senior federal tax inspector, his entourage of 12 civil servants, three pilots, and five security personnel.

We'll land where the escape pod landed, find Lord Cowther and his men, and rescue them.

Remember, if you are attacked by a blind beast, try to avoid using firearms, this terrible creature can be heard from miles away, and gathers to surround us, it is dead!

Our close combat training will help, heavy armor is recommended, pick your weapons! "

After turning off the holographic projection, the cabin fell into silence, but only for a few seconds.

"Large lizard with no eyes? That's it? It doesn't sound difficult at all!" Lodayev said, "We are a family, and we have a lifelong friendship. Don't hide this kind of thing from everyone in the future. Boss."

"Thank you...thank you all." Lynch saluted the military: "Alpha Squad, a family, will always be!"

Shaft shouted: "Oh, Lodayev, look at your good deeds, the boss is so moved to tears! Lie down!"

Lynch's eye sockets were moist, and this hard-hearted man raised his hand to wipe it, and said stubbornly:
"Damn, there's a small flying insect stuck on the eyelashes..."
