Pheromone Attraction [Holographic]

Air dry.

Unlike other planets, the composition of the atmosphere of Star 17 is extremely close to that of the earth, and the oxygen concentration is slightly lower than that of the plains on the earth. Ji Mian has been here for a while, and the oxygen bottle that was distributed has not been used yet.

In the 21st century, the homeboy Ji Mian knew for the first time that he did not have altitude sickness.

...Although this is not a plateau.

He was incorporated into a team led by fourth graders and composed of second and third graders. The task was to excavate some plant samples near the main stronghold on the 17th star, and clean up weeds and occasional beasts.

Together with them to perform the cleaning task, there are other small teams composed of college students. After they clean up this area, there will be formal soldiers from the military system to protect the construction team and come to work.

Since the 17-star stronghold drilled by the college students was raided, the stronghold began to build new security facilities, and gradually expanded the scale as the front line deepened.

Put it simply.

They're here to do chores.

Every student of the Special Combat Academy may have to go through a psychological journey from "extremely looking forward to before departure" to "returning disappointed after the exercise" - the military system is very cool from a distance. Dirty work.The two sophomores in the team had just gotten used to these things after a few drills, and they couldn't help but start teasing Ji Mian when they were digging grass.

"Hey, freshmen, this is what we do in practice, not fighting with others, are you disappointed?"

"Thanks to your desperate efforts to apply for the qualification for the early exercise, it's too miserable."

"Is the physical strength enough?"

"Is this grass ugly? ... What about this stone?"

……

One after another, Ji Mian was too lazy to open his mouth from the "extremely cooperative, answering every question" at the beginning when he first arrived, and he really didn't want to recall what he had experienced during this time.

Not disappointed, affordable, not ugly.

Pioneering, isn't that the only way to live.

They are still students, and the really dangerous missions are not up to them. If they want to fight with 17-star people, at least they have to wait until they graduate and enlist in the army.

Those people who want to peach.

Ji Mian felt deeply that there were too many things to talk about.

He has a good adaptability to these things. When he came to the 17th planet for the first time, he discovered that the landforms near the stronghold are [-]% similar to Slo Erna.

The map was probably made with reference to the natural environment here, and the work of cleaning up the surrounding area was as natural to him as mining and picking herbs in the game.

After a busy morning, they dug out all the weeds in this area and piled them into a pile.New species need to be sent to the laboratory to ask researchers to analyze their cell structure and biological traits and name them by category. The use also needs to wait for those researchers to speak. They are only responsible for digging and gathering them into a pile and bringing them back together.

The six-person team was divided into three groups, facing three directions to dig weeds and strange stones that were in the way, and walked a long way unknowingly.

The towering building of the 17 star stronghold is half hidden in the clouds and mist.

Suddenly, there was a "boom" sound from behind, and Ji Mian instinctively threw himself forward and fell to the ground, only to find that there was no explosion, so he looked back: "What's going on?"

The Alpha next to him looked back and hurriedly said: "It seems to be over there! It won't be attacked again, right?"

The teammate is Zou Hai, a third-year student. He has experienced the last enemy attack, so he can easily think of going there.

There was a faint alarm sound coming from the direction of the stronghold, and Zou Hai picked up his communicator and shouted at the team members in the distance: "Captain, what's the situation!"

"It could be an attack, let's go back to—"

Before finishing a sentence, a huge bombing sound suddenly exploded in a very close place. In order to protect themselves, Ji Mian and Zou Hai instinctively rolled on the spot, and then were thrown elsewhere by the aftermath.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

As the gunpowder smoke dissipated, Ji Mian crawled up from the ruins while coughing, shaking the dust off his body while looking around.

There is no one here, and it is lush and lush as far as the eye can see. It is not very the same as the landform near the stronghold. I don't know where it is.

He quickly found an unusually raised mound, hurried over to it, and fished out Zou Hai who was almost buried to suffocation in an oxygen-deficient environment.

He put on the oxygen mask that he carried with him on Zou Hai, and put on the chest compression device that Milotti gave him before leaving. After a long period of first aid, Zou Hai finally opened his eyes.

"Ahem..." Zou Hai sat up, coughed for a long time, and finally managed to catch his lost breath, "Where is this?"

"I don't know." Ji Mian shook his head, took out the locator to look at it, and put it away with his backhand, "The magnetic poles are messed up, so we can't determine the position. What should we do now?"

I usually don't emphasize it in the academy, but during the mission, everything follows the instructions of the superior.

If the superior is not there, the person with the highest qualifications will be listened to - Zou Hai is a senior, and Ji Mian can only listen to his orders now.

Zou Hai tried to use the communicator, but no one answered within the range.He frowned: "First look for a cave nearby."

"Okay." Ji Mian nodded, and asked again, "Are you afraid of interstellar storms?"

"Magnetic pole disorder is generally a precursor to an interstellar storm, so just in case."

Ji Mian nodded.

His own judgment was consistent with his senior brother's, and he ticked himself off in his heart.

The two drew a mark on the spot, searched separately, and agreed that the range of activities should not exceed 300 meters. If it exceeded, they would return on the same road and wait for another person at the mark.

Not long after, Ji Mian found a pit suitable for hiding, and there was a small natural cave below it. He returned the same way, and brought Zou Hai over when he came back.

They had to judge where they were. When Zou Hai was thrown out, he was unlucky and hit his head on a flying stone. He passed out very early and could only rely on Ji Mian's memory.Ji Mian thought for a while and said, she felt that she was hit hard after flying out, and then kept rolling forward.

The impact of the aftermath of the explosion should not make them roll that far, or they had to meet a downward slope to roll for so long.

"As for the slope, I saw one just now." Zou Hai said, "The slope is not too big, about [-] degrees, but it is very long. I saw the highest point is quite far away."

If it was Poe, it would explain why they couldn't see the towering spire-shaped top of the stronghold here.

The wind outside had already picked up and formed a storm within a few seconds. If the hole Ji Mian had not found was lower than the ground level, they might not have been able to escape.

Ji Mian hid behind a rock, curled up into a ball, and suggested: "Then when the storm passes, we can look back in the direction of that slope?"

Zou Hai: "That's the only way."

If he knew that the storm would be followed by a blizzard, Ji Mian would never have allowed himself to say such flagrant words.

According to Zou Hai, this is the first blizzard he knows of on the 17th planet, and Ji Mian has never seen related news on the intranet news.Although this may not really be the first blizzard after the Earth Alliance landed on the 17th planet, at least blizzards are very rare, that's for sure.

The excessive wind and snow gradually buried the entrance of the cave. Before being completely buried, Zou Hai went out against the wind and snow, and inserted a small temperature monitoring instrument into the accumulated snow.

As soon as he came back, he jumped on the spot with a short body.

There are very few extreme weathers on the 17th planet. They are all wearing thin protective clothing that is easier to move, and they are not resistant to low temperatures. Just going to a place a few steps away to insert an instrument, Zou Hai is already freezing to death.

Ji Mian silently opened a quick-heat first aid kit and handed it over.

Zou Hai took it over and rubbed his hands gratefully: "Thank you, thank you...but why do you have everything?"

Thinking about it carefully, these days Ji Mian often suddenly pulls out a practical gadget, even the first aid before he woke up just now was done by him.

"When I was at Trier College, I had a good friend who passed the exam to major in field nursing." Ji Mian said, "Some things were forced on me by him."

The other part was prepared by himself based on Su Xingyi's exercise videos and theoretical knowledge, but Ji Mian didn't want to show off, so he didn't say anything.

"It's great, having this kind of thing can save lives." Zou Hai sighed, "There are too few people majoring in field nursing, and their physical fitness is not good. Otherwise, every team should have a team member."

He rubbed his hands for a while, put the quick-heating first-aid kit near his heart, warmed it for a while, and then moved it to his abdomen. After a long while, he finally let his body temperature return to normal.

As the snow gradually thickened, Ji Mian took out a fluorescent stick, folded it and flicked it, lit it up and threw it on the ground.

The entrance of the cave was gradually covered by snow, and the cave was plunged into darkness.

The only light left is the fluorescent stick.

Afraid of lack of oxygen, the two did not dare to light a fire, and could only hold the quick-heating first aid kit to maintain their body temperature.The effect of a first aid kit lasts for three hours, and Ji Mian brought three.

"I hope the blizzard will stop before it runs out," Zou Hai said.

After carrying his body for an hour, Ji Mian opened the second quick-heating first aid kit for himself. Two hours later, Zou Hai's first aid kit lost its temperature. Zou Hai worked hard until the first aid kit in Ji Mian's hands failed. The people took apart the third first aid kit and put it on the back waist, leaning back to back.

"If you are an Alpha, at least we can hug each other at this time." Zou Hai complained, "Human body temperature is the best heating tool."

"If I hadn't brought this thing, we would have been dying of hypothermia." Ji Mian said calmly, "Brother, you have to be content."

"That's the reason, but if I don't find something to complain about, my mouth will freeze."

The temperature in the cave has dropped to minus 22 degrees, and the protective clothing they wear is almost equivalent to single clothes in the face of this temperature.

"To be honest, 17 stars are usually around 20 degrees above zero, and I still think this protective clothing is a bit hot." Zou Hai said, "I never wished that this clothing could be thicker."

"They told me that when you complained about this protective clothing yesterday, the tall man who walked past you was the designer of the clothing." Ji Mian said, "You must remember to apologize to him when you go back."

"...I have to go back and talk about it."

"You are too pessimistic."

"You're the one who shouldn't set the flag anymore!"

It took nearly an hour for the quick-heating first-aid kit to go from being hot at the beginning to being warm afterwards.

When he was almost out of ammunition and food, Zou Hai looked down at his monitoring equipment.

The next second, he jumped up excitedly: "The outdoor temperature has not changed for 5 minutes!"

"Then let's... dig it out and have a look?"

The temperature has not changed, indicating that the snowstorm may have stopped.

Zou Hai thought for a while and said, "No, wait another half an hour."

At this time, the temperature outside the cave was minus 59 degrees. In terms of their clothes, they might die if they went out.

Fortunately for them, half an hour later, the temperature rose back to minus 45 degrees.

They waited again, and when the first aid kit finally lost its effect at minus 25 degrees, the two finally started digging the snow.

These days, their work includes digging stones. At least they bring drilling tools for the "difficult and difficult rocks", so as not to be trapped by the ice that has condensed at the entrance of the cave.

When they came out, the temperature had risen to minus 16 degrees, and there was no change. Zou Hai felt sorry for his equipment, and used drilling tools and tools to shovel and dig for a long time, and finally dug out the monitoring equipment intact.

The surrounding area was already a vast expanse of whiteness, and the previously dusty land could not be seen, and even those strange-shaped plants were mostly buried under the ice and snow.

"Go, go back?" Ji Mian trembled, pointing to the direction of the slope that Zou Hai mentioned.

"Wait a little longer, it's too cold." Zou Hai said, "I brought a fire starter, let's gather the weeds we dug just now and start a fire, and leave when it gets warmer."

The hole was dug open, but the fire could be lit.

When the temperature is minus 16 degrees, it is not a wise choice to rely on single clothes to walk towards an uncertain slope.

Listening to his words, Ji Mian untied the collection bag he was carrying, took it into the hole, and poured out the weeds inside.

I don't know if the burning of these plants is poisonous, and the two of them are not sure how far they have been rushed, and whether there are any enemies nearby, so they discuss to get a fire in the cave, block the smoke in the cave, and sit in a ventilated place at the entrance of the cave to warm up. .

Although it is not very hot this way, at least it will not freeze to death, and it will not be afraid of the poisonous gas that may be produced in case.

Zou Hai got angry, and the two squatted at the entrance of the cave.

Star 17 is a little far from the earth, and there is only one star in the galaxy, named 17-Helios Star, which is the "sun" of Star 17.

The Helios star poked its head out from behind the clouds in a short while, and Zou Hai heaved a sigh of relief—with the stars shining, the temperature will rise soon.

According to the usual task requirements, he deployed a series of equipment to record the nearby weather and ecological environment data; Ji Mian was in charge of vigilance.

Afraid of "snow blindness", he didn't dare to look at the distance for a long time. Fortunately, the heavy snow made this place boundless, and he could see anything at a glance.

Not long after, something flashed in the distance.

Ji Mian hurriedly looked over, and soon found that it seemed to be a person.

No, not one person, but a string of people.

"It seems to be fighting." Ji Mian said, "Over there."

Zou Hai quickly put away the device: "You hide here, I'll go and have a look."

Ji Mian pulled him.

Zou Hai: "?"

"The captain said that we will act together." Ji Mian said, "Let's go together, I won't hold you back."

He saw something that caught his attention. He was afraid that it was an illusion caused by the snow scene, so he had to follow him to have a look.
