Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 2 Escape from the Dead
That red "giant earthworm" is not a silicon beast, but just one antennae of a silicon beast.The rock layer covering the surface of the celestial body has exploded, and hundreds of "giant earthworms" of similar sizes have emerged from the ground, stretching their teeth and claws into the air.

This scene gave Yang Yi goosebumps all over his body.

He wanted to run away, but he had nowhere to use his strength in the air, not to mention running away, he couldn't even dodge it, he could only watch helplessly as the first "giant earthworm" came to attack him.

I don't want to die, my brother is in full bloom, how could he die in this ghostly place!

Yang Yi shouted in his heart, and at the same time reached for his gun, but found nothing.The electromagnetic gun was placed under the iron tower, and I didn't bring it with me when I went to point B.

Damn it, could it be that the heavens are jealous of my handsome, suave, and graceful, and want me to die here?

The distance of 1000 meters is not too far for that "giant earthworm", and there is no atmosphere on the celestial body, and the gravity field is very weak. Yang Yi's movement speed is much faster than usual, and the "giant earthworm" is no exception.In the blink of an eye, that bloody mouth was in front of Yang Yi.Although he was wearing a combat uniform with heat insulation function, Yang Yi could still feel the scorching heat from the giant mouth.

The silicon beast is a silicon-based life, its blood is a silicide similar to lava, and its body temperature is around [-] degrees Celsius.

If he is bitten by the giant mouth, Yang Yi will not be bitten into pieces, at least not before he dies. The high temperature will turn him into coke in an instant.

It's over, this time it's dead!
"God, you are too ruthless, I will find you after my brother dies!"

Yang Yi roared loudly, and at this moment, a dazzling light shot out, hitting the head of the "giant earthworm", that is, the giant mouth.Immediately afterwards, Yang Yi felt something wrapped around his waist, and was immediately pulled away by a huge force.

The "giant earthworm" wasn't killed or even injured, it was just knocked away.

It seems to be able to absorb the energy contained in the light. After being attacked, the "giant earthworm" became larger and faster.

When the "giant earthworm" rushed forward again, Yang Yi had already been pulled away by that force.

At this time, Yang Yi saw that what grabbed him was a mechanical arm, and the shuttle boat driven by Lin Jia was above his head, firing at the "giant earthworm".

"Sister Lin Jia, I've caught him, let's go!"

"Keep firing, don't stop."

The shuttle ship "Bun" is just a small service spaceship. Although it is equipped with self-defense weapons, its firepower is far inferior to that of a space fighter, let alone a battleship.

As the spacecraft turned, the belly-mounted laser cannon continued to fire at the giant earthworm.

Before being dragged into the cabin, Yang Yi clearly saw that the surface of celestial body 7777914 was covered with "giant earthworms", which looked like a cake covered with maggots.

Fortunately, these "giant earthworms" did not leave the celestial body to pursue the "Hairknot".

When Yang Yi came out of the airlock, Zhong Lili was already waiting for him outside.

"Sister Lili, you have caused me a lot of trouble."

"I've said it all, if something happens to you, I will pay you with my life. Have you been injured, missing arms or legs, or have you left a psychological shadow, and you will never be able to lift it again? There is no hair loss One, what are you talking about? Seriously, a big man still cares about women." Zhong Lili was clearly at fault, but she tried to explain it as if she was the victim, leaving Yang Yi dumbfounded and speechless.

"Lili, how is Xiao Yang?" Lin Jia asked through the loudspeaker above her head.

"Fortunately, there is no injury. But it seems that I was quite frightened. Go back and see a psychiatrist to avoid traumatic sequelae."

Yang Yi rolled his eyes and raised two middle fingers towards Zhong Lili.

You can't be polite to this woman-like existence. Politeness, etiquette, rules and the like are all jokes in front of Zhong Lili.

"That's good, you all come here."

After taking off his combat uniform, Yang Yi followed Zhong Lili to the cockpit.

"Aren't you injured?" Lin Jia asked with concern, and sized up Yang Yi.

"Thank you, Sister Lin Jia, for your concern. I'm fine." Yang Yi was very polite.Lin Jia is the captain, his immediate superior, and even the eldest sister.He can joke with Zhong Lili casually, but he never dares to be presumptuous in front of Lin Jia, even Zhong Lili doesn't have the guts.

Already clear of the celestial body, the "Bun" was controlled by autopilot.

"Sit down and eat something first."

Lin Jia handed over a dinner plate, which contained some paste-like food, mainly carbohydrates, with added protein, fat, vitamins and trace elements.The taste is not very good, and it can barely be swallowed, but it is rich in nutrients needed by the human body.

"Sister Lin Jia, those on celestial body 7777914..."

"Beast den." Lin Jia glanced at Yang Yi and showed the internal structure of the celestial body. "The celestial body has been hollowed out, and its interior is honeycomb-shaped. These orange point-like objects are insect eggs, the eggs of silicon beasts. The ones attacking us are the lair guards, a silicon beast that is specially responsible for protecting insect eggs."

The image in front of him made Yang Yi feel nauseous and almost spit out the food he ate.

"It is these insect eggs that make the sensor alarm. The temperature of the silicon beast hatching is very high, even if the guardian silicon beast can absorb the heat, it will cause a lot of temperature fluctuations." Lin Jia sighed, then said, "I have already I sent the message back, but I haven't received the order yet."

"What should we do next?" Zhong Lili asked.

"Return to the base and wait for the next instruction." Lin Jia glanced at his watch, "You will enter the jump channel in 15 minutes, go and prepare. If everything goes well, you can return to the base in four hours. If this is just a coincidence Incident, we will lead a large force back to exterminate the silicon beasts on the celestial body or completely destroy the celestial body. We have busy work ahead, so you'd better take advantage of this time to recharge your spirits."

"What if it's not a coincidence?" Yang Yi asked talkatively.

Lin Jia shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "You better pray that this is a coincidence, otherwise, what awaits us will be the sixth Greenwich War."

Yang Yi was startled secretly, and at the same time noticed Zhong Lili's expression was also shocked.

"Attention, the spaceship will enter the jump channel in 1 minute, all crew members please get ready."

Hearing the warning sound from the loudspeaker, the discussion was over. Lin Jia, Zhong Lili and Yang Yi returned to their seats and fastened their seat belts.

At this time, the No. 7777 outpost [-] million kilometers away.

It is said to be an outpost, but it is actually a space fortress. To be precise, it is a space fortress built on a large battleship that has lost the ability to navigate.There are almost 1 such fortresses in the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, with basically the same specifications. They are all transformed from warships left over from the Fifth Greenwich War. They can station tens of thousands of officers and soldiers at most. Thousand or so.

"Has communication been restored?"

"Report sir, not yet."

The middle-aged officer frowned a few times. The news from the field team and the sudden interruption of communication gave him a very bad premonition.

His name is Luo Zhanxing, a major, the commander of Outpost No. 7777.

Like other outposts, the daily work of Outpost No. 7777 is to maintain the detection equipment deployed on celestial bodies within its jurisdiction.Only after the outbreak of war, the outpost will be upgraded to a military base, forming the forward line of defense of the Human Federation and even the entire Galactic Federation.

"Sir, the mobile unit is ready and waiting for your order."

"Let them wait and get in touch with 'Faji' as soon as possible." Luo Zhanxing touched his chin, and when he lowered his hand, he inadvertently dropped it on the holster.

Is this a harbinger of war?
Luo Zhanxing has served here for 12 years. He has been promoted from second lieutenant to major. Before he became the commander of the base, he was the captain of the field team, that is, Lin Jia's immediate boss.He knew Lin Jia well, if it wasn't particularly serious, Lin Jia wouldn't have issued a red attack alert.

Of course, this kind of thing has not happened before.

Over the past 12 years, there have been an average of two occasional Silicon Beast invasions per year.The so-called accidental event refers to the deliberate actions of the Silicon Magic Alliance on the opposite side of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt.Some wild silicon beasts have the extraordinary ability to cross the star system after they reach adulthood.In order to seek a breeding place, these adult silicon beasts will leave the birth planet, go to other planets, and build nests on the planets.If these silicon beasts happen to enter the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, they will build a nest on a larger celestial body, and then lay eggs and reproduce.Because it is a natural behavior of wild silicon beasts, it is not an act of war, so it cannot be concluded that the Silicon Magic Alliance has launched a war.

In fact, this is also the main task of all outposts in peacetime.

If wild silicon beasts are allowed to cross the Greenwich Meteorite Belt and enter the Southern Alpha Galaxy, an adult silicon beast can destroy a planet and cause unimaginable disasters.

"Sir!"

"Communication restored?"

"No. The equipment is not malfunctioning and is working normally. The communication interruption is due to interference."

"interference?"

"Yes, it must be interference. All communication channels have been blocked. The source of interference has not been found yet, but it must be somewhere nearby."

Luo Zhanxing's brows jumped a few times quickly. "Sound a combat alarm, and everyone enters combat positions."

"Sir?" The messenger turned around and looked at Luo Zhanxing in shock.

"Give the order, this is not a drill!"

Luo Zhanxing's tense expression and hasty words made the orderly not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately issued an order and issued a battle alarm at the same time.

No matter how powerful the silicon beasts are, they are all simple-minded beasts. Even if some silicon beasts have the ability to interfere with communication, it is impossible to block all communication channels.This kind of full-band interference is definitely not the work of silicon beasts, it must be man-made.This is an invasion, an invasion from the Silicon Magic Alliance.

At this time, near the outpost, some huge gray shadows gradually appeared.

Those were dozens of warships with strange shapes and huge bodies. They were all warships of the Silicon Magic Alliance, and many of them were S-class warships that could destroy a star system.
