The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 84 Preparation for Akuz Exploration
"30 days ago, we received a request for help from the colony of the planet Akuz in a certain galaxy not far from us, claiming that there was a case of missing persons." An aerial view of the Akuz colony was put on the projector and introduced.

"Under normal circumstances, we are more inclined to deal with pirate invasions, but after receiving a call for help, we quickly organized a three-person dispatch team to take a shuttle to investigate."

"Unfortunately, until now the three-person team and the driver have not given any feedback. Their signals have all disappeared from a week ago. They are now judged as "MIA"."

The captain looked at all the recruited members, "The signal shows that they lost contact on the night they arrived at their destination.

What is frightening is that there has never been any feedback. They should have lost contact before sending any information. At this moment, there has become a black hole.

Whatever was in Akuz's possession resulted in the disappearance of thousands of Akuz colonists and three Starfleet servicemen. "

"The Fleet Command has decided to dispatch elite soldiers to form a temporary expeditionary investigation team. We have received the order and are now preparing to execute it.

Given that there are no spaceships or even traces in the entire airspace, this rules out the possibility of a sneak attack by pirates, so we can only investigate from the ground.

As soldiers, you are all elites. Now put on your equipment and take the shuttle to the designated place to check the situation. Is there any problem? "

"No!" All the marines shouted in unison.

"Okay, get ready to land." The captain waved his hand.

"AYE AYE. Sir."

……

"You are Sergeant Yuan Xie who was recommended by Second Lieutenant Kaiden! I have heard a lot about you." Sitting in one of the four shuttles, Xie Yuan met the commander, Captain Aleclide.

"Hello, Shangguan." Xie Yuan immediately saluted Lieutenant Colonel Ryder, then put down his hands and laughed at himself, "Yes, I have encountered some oolongs recently. I am very glad that you can give me the opportunity to continue to perform missions."

"It should be a pleasure to meet a capable marine like you. Second Lieutenant Alanco said that you are not low in combat effectiveness and very vigilant." Captain Ryder is a middle-aged man in his 30s with a very tough personality. With a face and a shallow beard, "I think this exploration needs people with high vigilance."

"Thank you, sir." Xie Yuan bowed his head and accepted the compliment.

"Then what do you think of this collective loss of contact?" Lieutenant Colonel Ryder seemed to intend to test Xie Yuan, or did he just want to show an open-minded style of accepting advice?
So Xie Yuan could only express a very "soldier" answer: "I don't know how to say it, I just think it's dangerous, but I will follow orders seriously."

"Gunner Sergeant Xie Yuan, I need a serious answer, I don't want to hear perfunctory, I am not someone who cares about the authority of the commander." Captain Ryder severely criticized Xie Yuan.

"Yes, sir, if there are no signs of space pirates here." Xie Yuan gave his thoughts after a little thought, "Then we have to consider whether it is the reason for the invasion of alien species."

"Invasion of alien species?" Ryder's eyes lit up when he heard it, "This is a very interesting but terrifying argument, but it is also very reasonable. After all, our supply ship may carry some original products that do not belong here. If There are mutations caused by external factors, and substances that may not be problematic become problematic."

Then he immediately patted Xie Yuan on the shoulder and encouraged: "Your opinion coincides with that of the staff department. Although they think there are more possibilities than you list, it is already very good. You deserve it. It was Kayden's strong choice.

Those who participated in the Skilian raid and survived really have extraordinary vision..."

"What? Kayden participated in the Skilian raid? How come no one has heard of it." Xie Yuan was stunned. This kid hides so deeply that he didn't even tell him. He will have to interrogate him when he goes back.

After looking around to confirm that no one had noticed them, Captain Ryder explained the reason: "As a rookie, Second Lieutenant Kayden didn't publicize it in order to protect his safety, but his achievements are known to the higher authorities."

"Oh." Xie Yuan nodded knowingly, complaining in his heart that it's nothing to do with being around, why not publicize it, why not focus on that Jenny Shepard?
It is also nicknamed "the higher ups know about it", cut it!
But Xie Yuan was well aware of the truth that too many words would lead to mistakes, so he didn't say too much to this Captain Ryder he just met. After all, "the higher ups know" also has another meaning: I will promote you next time I have a chance. .

As long as it can get into the eyes of the big boss, Xue Zangxia is not a bad thing for Kaiden, just treat it as a heavenly appointment.

Anyway, better than a non-commissioned officer like me who doesn't care about his father or mother.

After finishing the conversation with the officer, Xie Yuan leaned into a corner. He was going to review his weapons and equipment, although it was only to repair his old armor.

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Unfortunately, there is not enough money, so he can only save money.

Equipping advanced weapons and equipment has always been the dream of every marine, and Xie Yuan is no exception.One of the reasons why I want to be an officer is because the salary of an officer is not only high, but the initial armor is also good.

Among the standard armor of the Star Alliance, the best is the full body armor of the N7 series. At least there is no better one on the market except for the advanced customized upgraded version.

However, the officer's dream was shattered. He estimated that he would never have the opportunity to wear N series equipment in the future, so he could only keep repairing the armor that he received after graduating from the boot camp.

As for why not change?This is the cunning of Star Alliance armory management. It’s not that marines have to change, but except for the first set of weapons, the first set of armor and the first multi-tool that are distributed above, if you want to upgrade more Good armor...have to spend credits to buy it!

A set of level 10 armor cost tens of thousands of credits, and the upgrade with a gun would cost him several months of salary, and if he bought level [-], he would have to think about level [-], level [-] or even level [-]!
Originally, after saving part of his salary, he almost didn't have enough to eat, and now he has to spend all of it to buy equipment?

A capitalist really likes temptation and exploitation, but he just says No! He would rather put himself in danger than buy it.

Originally, he thought that he could choose a relatively advanced armor set and weapons from the seizures against pirates.

But a veteran comrade-in-arms told him a heart-wrenching fact: the basic weapons and equipment of the big forces all have very sophisticated identification-foe systems.

You can choose captured weapons or equipment, but while you are wearing these captured weapons, the companion's identification friend or foe system will only identify you as an enemy.

What's the use of even the best capture?So they all sold the seized armor as scrap to the armory. After all, if the armory didn't think it must give soldiers a chance to earn extra money, they wouldn't even want to accept it!

These seized as "waste" can only be reduced to raw materials (melted into a semi-molten "universal gel" for quick use) in the end.

However, Xie Yuan didn't lose it. These equipments are parts that can be taken off and folded, so Xie Yuan likes to secretly collect these equipments.

So far, he's collected two matching sets of Tier IV medium armor and one set of Light armor, and weapons include a Tier IV mass accelerator assault rifle and a pistol.

The difference between light armor and medium armor is that while giving you better basic protection, it will affect your weapon aiming level and agility.

Xie Yuan is an assaulter, and his occupation is a soldier in the Star Alliance military branch. Because he does not have any implants or supernatural tumors on his body, he has not arranged for training in professional skills related to sniper rifles and supernatural abilities, but he is a soldier. Received Medium Armor Adaptation so he can wear Medium Armor.

Like Kayden, he can only wear light armor, but his supernatural skills can give him a certain degree of protection.

And the only thing Xie Yuan is willing to spend a lot of money on is the universal tool.

Because this thing can be used for projection in other worlds with technological planes, it is a must.

He even bought some whiteboard multi-tool injectors to keep in the space.

The engineering-type universal tools in the past have been upgraded to military-type universal tools.

Military-grade electronic warfare modules, computing speed that cannot be surpassed by any computing system after the 21st century and before the 23rd century, there is no encryption lock that cannot be cracked.

The professional-grade medical scanning module and mining geological scanning module can scan results more clearly and faster than in the past.

In terms of computing speed, it is faster than the previous civilian ones, and at the same time, there are more redundant systems that can load new functions.

And now that he has been authorized to load melee weapons on the Omni Tool, for this reason he has carefully selected and loaded the most common melee weapon is the "universal blade".

This is a one-off silicon carbide army thorn made by the small object maker on the Omni, which is as hard as a diamond. The army thorn itself glows orange for easy identification by the wearer.

In addition to causing physical damage to the opponent, the scorching blade may even ignite the opponent. Coupled with the acceleration of his fist, he can use the target as a rubber bullet to give light damage to dense enemies.

"Everyone, please pay attention!" Captain Ryder's voice suddenly sounded from the radio. This is a public channel announcement, "We have reached the atmosphere of Planet Akuz! Get ready."

Everyone was serious, including Xie Yuan, who immediately stood up, put on his helmet, and picked up his assault rifle.

"Prepare to land, pay attention to vigilance!"
