Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

what happened?

In the cabin of No. [-] boat, Li Meng was wearing a thick golden power armor and sat on the first row of seats on the left.

He wasn't the only one in the cabin, there were also two squadrons of Astra Militarum soldiers.

They sat on the left and right rows of seats.

The magnetic device behind them tightly locked the armor on their bodies and fixed them on the seat.

In order to be able to fight in a vacuum, the soldiers of the Astral Army put on vacuum combat suits.

The whole is silver-gray, and the armor covers almost every place.

The helmet is also full-face, and there is a medium-sized backpack on the back.

There are batteries in the backpack to power the vacuum suit.

Although the vacuum combat suit does not have a power system, it also has some electronic instruments and sensing devices.

These all require electrical support to function.

The laser rifles in the hands of the soldiers also need battery charging.
And oxygen...

In order to prolong the combat time of soldiers.

What is carried in the backpack is not gaseous oxygen, but a synthetic dry powder.

It can be converted into oxygen after electrolysis.

This allows soldiers to last up to seven days.

There seems to be something wrong with the number one boat...

Even in the Power Armor, Li Meng felt obvious tremors.

The tremors are getting stronger and stronger, and there seems to be signs of weightlessness...

This made Li Meng a little nervous.

It's the first time you go out to perform an exploration mission, so don't stumble here.

Compared to Li Meng, the other Astral Army soldiers in vacuum combat suits seemed much calmer.

They sat upright, clutching their laser rifles tightly.

Suddenly, the violent tremors disappeared...

The transport boat returned to an extremely stable state.

A clearer engine roar echoed in my ears...

Outside, at an altitude of nearly [-] meters, the No. [-] boat caught up with the No. [-] boat.

The two transport boats flew one after the other, leaving two long-lasting trails in the sky.

"Crack..."

In the No. [-] boat, Li Meng unlocked the magnetic lock.

He stood up and walked to the cockpit.

Every time you step on the ground, there will be a sound of mechanical operation and metal "clanking".

"What happened just now, why is it so trembling?"

Walking into the relatively narrow cockpit, Li Meng asked.

Looking out the window, Li Meng could see the vast sky and rolling mountains.

The driver quickly replied: "Back to the Regent, due to the deviation of the orbital angle, the friction when entering the atmosphere was too large, the speed could not slow down, and tremors appeared. It stands to reason that this is not a big problem, but this ship The transport boat is too old, and the hull structure is already aging, so the engine cannot be used to forcibly change its attitude, and it can only be slowed down by gliding."

It turned out to be like this...

Li Meng didn't ask any more questions, just looked at the sky and the earth outside the window.

The transport boat is lowering its height, getting closer and closer to the ground.

In Li Meng's eyes, the transport boat flew over a towering mountain.

On the other side of the mountain is an endless wasteland.

There is no green vegetation and no water.

The dry land and bare rocks are the only portrayal of the wasteland.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, and pieces of wind and sand dance with the wind.

"Regent, we are about to arrive at the coordinate point, it is expected to take 3 minutes..."

3 minutes?
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Meng's eyes.

The speed of the transport boat has dropped to subsonic speed.

The wasteland is so vast that all you can fly to within 3 minutes is the desolate Gobi Desert.

There is something in the wilderness that can be seen from a long distance.

However, as far as the eyes can see, there is nothing, nothing.

Could it be that the task given by "Zero" is to fly around the coordinates?
"Hey, this is..."

Flying and flying, a grand canyon suddenly came into Li Meng's eyes.

Perhaps because of the height, Li Meng hadn't discovered it before.

It was so long that it almost split the wasteland in two.

"Regent, we have arrived near the coordinates..."

closer, closer...

Just a few miles away on the wilderness, a huge canyon lay across the wilderness.

Looking left and right, there is no end in sight.

"Go to the canyon to see..."

"Yes, lower the altitude..."

Outside, with No. [-] boat as the leader, the two transport boats began to descend.

From the original height of nearly a thousand meters, it quickly dropped to a hundred meters, and then dropped to tens of meters.

The roar of rumbling engines echoed across the wilderness...

Over the wasteland, two transport boats roared past one after the other and flew into the Grand Canyon.

When the line of sight in front of him changed, the scene in the canyon was immediately reflected in Li Meng.

"This is……"

However, what he saw made Li Meng look incredible.

The canyon was unexpectedly large, several miles wide, and more than a mile deep.

What made Li Meng dumbfounded was not the size of the canyon, but something on the rock wall.

There are huge steps on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon.

There are huge stone seats on each step.

On each stone seat sits a huge stone statue.

They have the appearance of humans and are huge in size, each of which is no less than 20 meters in height.

like giants...

They are densely packed and spread to the end of the line of sight.

The grandeur of its scale is unimaginable.

The two drivers also looked surprised.

They were also frightened by the sight in the canyon.

"Land down in the valley, notify No. 2 boat, let them continue to explore..."

"Uh... yes..."

The driver came back to his senses and hurriedly called boat No. 2.

"Call No. 2 boat, we are about to land, you continue to explore, this is the order of the Regent!"

"Understood, the No. 2 boat received it, it's over!"

Outside, the No. 1 boat flying in the canyon suddenly dropped its altitude and rushed to the bottom of the canyon.

The No. 2 boat continued to move forward, whizzed past the No. 1 boat, and quickly went away along the canyon.

Engine roaring, air waves billowing...

At the bottom of the valley, in the billowing wind and sand, boat No. 1 landed slowly.

The bottom of the valley is very flat, and there are obvious signs of artificial construction.

It's just a layer of sand, making it impossible to confirm whether there are traces of artificial construction under the sand.

Before the wind and sand blown up by the engine fell, the rear hatch of No. [-] boat slowly opened...

Two squadrons of Astra Militarum soldiers rushed out of the cabin.

"Watch around, hurry up, pay attention to your feet..."

In the sound of "clanking" footsteps, soldiers in silver-gray vacuum combat uniforms rushed out of the wind and sand.

They established a cordon around the transport.

When the yellow sand rolled up and gradually fell, Li Meng walked out from the cabin.

Outside the boat, Li Meng looked around.

Then he walked to the nearest rock wall.

"Team 1 follows, Team 2 guards the transport boat..."

Seeing the Regent leaving alone, the Astra Militarum soldiers reacted.

A small team hurried forward and followed Li Meng.
