wandering planet

Ovid didn't even have time to think about it, fear made him subconsciously fire another shot at the predator.

The bullet still missed the belly, it grazed the marauder's shoulder.

Jiang Che, who was lying on the tree, had his heart pounding. He didn't dare to call out to Ovid. He didn't know what happened to Ovid, but he could see the horror on Ovid's face.

The Marauder took a few more steps in Ovid's direction.Its head was still translucent, but Ovid could clearly see the ups and downs on its face because it was emitting a shimmer.Those are indeed the facial features of human beings. Although I don't know how similar they are, the distribution of each organ is the same.

That's people—Ovid's mind was in turmoil.

He has not killed anyone.

He has killed Griya worker bees, winged snakes, and marauders.But he didn't kill anyone!

Cold sweat slipped from his temples, he watched the predator approaching him, and finally stood less than five meters away from him.

They are observing each other with vigilance and contemplation.

Ovid did not continue the attack.He found that the marauder had no intention of continuing the attack.It seemed curious, and turned its head sideways, towards Ovid, as if looking at him.

This predator is too human-like, although its limbs and head are still translucent, but the torso is already very dense, and the location of the internal organs cannot be seen at all.On the left arm is still the strangely shaped melta ray weapon, the tentacles pierced deeply into its arm, almost growing together.

The Marauder's left arm hung at his side, and Ovid confirmed that it wasn't trying to attack him.He stared at the Predator's face, and he saw that it opened its mouth.

But it can't make a sound, because the mimic part of the Predator doesn't have vocal cords.But it was so real that Ovid couldn't help watching its movements, trying to figure out what it was saying.

At this moment, a muffled sound swallowed by the silencer exploded from the nearby trees.

The bullet went through the predator's right arm!

It wobbled a bit.The bullet pierced through the mimic part of its right arm, causing the arm-like thing to fall to the ground.

It was only at this moment that Ovid realized that there was actually a heavy gleaming instrument clasped on that arm!

He doesn't recognize this machine, but he can be sure - he and Jiang Che haven't seen anything like it on any predator.

This marauder was different, and Ovid sprang from the bushes with one sentence on his mind: it might be the so-called chief!

The moment the humanoid predator landed on the ground with his right arm, he immediately raised his left arm towards where Jiang Che was.The hot melt ray weapon shot out a fiery stream of light, which burned the branch where Jiang Che was.Jiang Che rolled over and fell to the ground immediately after shooting, and the looters did not hurt him.

run!His mind was full of one thought—this Marauder was different from the previous ones.

He ran past the sour-smelling corpse, and because it was too dark, he tripped over a tree root and fell heavily to the ground.

The flaming ray passed through the original position of his head the moment he fell to the ground, and hit the tree in front of him.

Jiang Che didn't have time to catch his breath, he immediately rolled on the ground and rolled into a darker place.

This is not good for him and Ovid, their sniper rifles cannot play their due role in such an environment.

Just as he rolled to the side, Ovid had rushed out from the side.He shot the Marauder in the back first, hitting it in the shoulder.But it's useless, that's the mimicry part, it can't do any harm at all.

Ovid stepped aside, not wanting to confront it head-on.

But the other party didn't look for him, but turned around and rushed towards Jiang Che's position.

Ovid was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood: Jiang Che knocked off this guy's arm and the equipment on his arm, and he wanted Jiang Che's revenge.

Not daring to delay any longer, he rushed out with his gun in hand.

The fiery red rays flickered in the dense forest, and Ovid even saw bodies approaching from a distance out of the corner of his eye, all of them shimmering.

There is no time to hesitate.He raised his sniper rifle and threw it fiercely at the predator.The gun went through the bushes and struck the marauder in the back.It trembled all over and fell to the ground.

When it turned over, Ovid had jumped on top of it.

He took a C66 pistol from the gun pouch on the outside of his thigh and pressed it against the predator's abdomen.

It was an extremely weird and soft body.What Ovid was thinking of was the pudding that Jiang Che had made for them at Nini.It is so soft that the muzzle can even penetrate the mimic part of the outer layer and touch certain "organs" with resistance inside.

Can predators eat it?At this moment, he even had a weird idea.

The Marauder, who was suppressed by Ovid, put the melta ray weapon on his left arm on Ovid's shoulder, and suddenly opened his mouth.

An extremely strong stench hit Ovid.

The melta ray weapon and the C66 pistol fire at the same time!

Ovid let out a terrible cry of pain.His right shoulder was pierced by a melta ray weapon!

The battle suit blocked most of the heat, and his body only suffered a small part of the damage, but it was enough, he could even feel those fiery molten rays pass through above his shoulder blades, burning through his body. His skin, blood vessels and muscles.

But the melta ray weapon quickly went out.Marauders can no longer hold it.

Ovid's right hand lost strength, he used the index finger of his left hand to pull the trigger of the C66 pistol, and fired frantically at the predator's abdomen.

Until the shot was empty, he was still pulling the trigger in vain, making an indistinct sound from his mouth.

Someone ran over and hugged him in his arms.Ovid trembled in his arms for a moment, and made a hoarse voice that he didn't know whether it was crying or moaning. The pain was like cracks in the dry earth, and it moved from his wound to his limbs with incomparable clarity.

He couldn't take it anymore, he tightly grasped Jiang Che's combat uniform, opened his mouth and bit Jiang Che's shoulder, and the physiological tears that came out of the conditioned reflex due to the pain flowed down uncontrollably.

The attacks of Ovid and the predators only happened in an instant. When Jiang Che got up from the ground and held Ovid in his arms, the predators who followed the movement had not yet arrived.

Ovid was pressed against his chest, and he could feel the convulsions and pain of the man in his arms.There was no blood, but Ovid cried in pain.But Jiang Che had no time to comfort him at all, he could only hold Ovid tightly in his arms, let him bite him, let him rely on himself.

Grabbing the sniper rifle with one hand, Jiang Che gritted his teeth and endured the recoil, and shot madly at the looters approaching all around.

A sour smell filled the surroundings, and beside them was the corpse of a humanoid marauder.Jiang Che emptied the magazine and was stunned for a moment, then suddenly found that Ovid picked up the sniper rifle he had just used to smash the predator with his intact left hand.

Jiang Che grabbed his gun and pressed Ovid's head firmly in his arms again.

"do not move."

Ovid seemed to have heard Jiang Che's words, but he couldn't hear the muffled gunshots.

It wasn't until the gunfire gradually quieted down that he finally heard Jiang Che's rapid heartbeat and panting.

"That thing... is operating the machine." Jiang Che whispered, "It deliberately turned the weapon on its left arm towards you, and hid its right arm behind it. I saw that his right hand was operating the machine."

Ovid endured the pain, and thought for a while before he came back to his senses: "...Is it the leader? Is it sending messages to the ships to let them activate the weapons on the ships?!"

Marauder ships are rough not only on the outside, but also on the inside.

Luckily it's rough so it's not hard to climb.

With his legs wrapped around the rope, Pierre clutched the rope with one hand and clung to the entrance with the other, his heart beating furiously.

He waited there for a few minutes, making sure nothing had spotted him, before slowly climbing onto the ship.

The ship structure of the Marauders is not complicated. They will vacate most of the ship as space for storing resources, so the activity space is mainly concentrated in the front of the ship.

After standing against the wall for a while, Pierre couldn't take it anymore: the wall was not only rough and hard, but also covered with sticky and unknown objects.

He shook his arm, and was surprised to find that the interior of the ship was extremely quiet, and there seemed to be no predators.

All the looters landed?Where is the leader?And it's terribly dark inside, with almost no light source.

The marauders can glow by themselves, like fireflies, and Pierre guessed that when many marauders gather here, maybe they don't need any light source for lighting.

But he can't.Pierre cautiously touched the wrist of the battle suit, there should be a light there...

"Whoo-"

A bright light suddenly lit up in front of him.

Pierre was startled, and quickly pressed the button on his wrist to try to turn off the emergency light.However, the quality of the battle suit seemed to be worrying in such details. He fiddled with the lamp for a long time but couldn't turn it off, so he had to press it with the other hand.

But when he looked up again, he suddenly found a doorway that could allow three people to walk through a rock wall in front of him.

A marauder with a long thick tail is slowly coming out of it.

Pierre took out his gun and aimed it at the predator's belly through the black rock.

Those were "organs", he could see them clearly.

The predator seemed to know that there was a change on the ship, and moved forward cautiously.

Pierre thought he would be afraid, but he couldn't care less about being afraid.All the knowledge learned in the academy quickly rolled through his mind, and he quickly captured the two most important ones.

"If you encounter an enemy that can be killed while lurking, you should act decisively."

"Snipe and kill the enemy without exposing yourself."

The gun barrel and the silencer vibrated at the same time, and the muffled sound quickly disappeared.

A strong sour smell emanated from the fallen predator. Pierre crouched in the corner and retched silently. It took a long time for him to stand up with tears in his eyes.

He quickly finished his patrol, and was surprised to find that there was only one Marauder stationed on the entire ship.

The place where it came out just now is the overall control room of the ship.This control room is very similar to the control room of a human ship. Pierre guessed that it should be built by the predators after they captured the human ship.They can imitate Birog rings, and of course such control rooms can also be imitated.

When he was about to leave, Pierre noticed that the console suddenly lit up.

That's the warning light for communication access.

I don't know who sent a reminder to the control room elsewhere. This kind of orange-red light can only be used by high-level personnel.

After observing for a moment, Pierre was suddenly startled: this small light is on the console of the weapon module.

This is a weapon launch notification from elsewhere!

After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but press the "receive" button, intending to listen to the predator's communication.

But after connecting, he only heard a dull impact sound, as if something heavy fell to the ground.The communication was cut off, and there was no more valuable information.

Pierre stood there for a moment, curiosity completely lost in the awkward silence.

He simply unplugged the console's wiring, destroying the normal functioning of most of the buttons.

"...Pierre, what are you doing?" Tang Mo's anxious voice came, "Go find Birog ring!"

"Oh, that's right." Pierre scratched his head, left the control room, and walked towards the rear of the ship.
