King of the Stars [Rebirth]

In the atmospheric cloud layer, there was a boiling wave, and then, the thick sky was pierced by sparks, and the four landing craft fell down the sky with a long burning tail.Over the dark green water, yellow-brown mountains, and finally landed on a barely flat ground.

As soon as it landed, the hatch of one of the landing craft opened, and a big man in a protective rubber suit stood by the door, squinted his eyes for a while, and smiled: "The group of bastards are not lying. Guys, It's time to start!"

Following this order, several land vehicles drove out of the hatch one by one, and began to build a simple camp.In the wild environment, the most important thing is not the bed, but the protective cover, especially in this kind of high-risk desolate star, without protective measures, it is equivalent to extra food for those ferocious beasts, and it will not even take half a night to eat all of them.Although the landing craft is convenient, it does not have any shields. It is as fragile as a piece of paper, and it is not a good place to hide.

With only a few soft swishing sounds, the cylindrical short spear shot into the hard soil. After confirming its position, the spear body rotated half a circle, and the hook popped out with a click, and grabbed the ground, wrapped in the electromagnetic column in the middle. It took only a few seconds for the dazzling green light to form a large net, firmly wrapping the landing craft and the camp in the middle.

Almost as soon as the electromagnetic shield was opened, there was a soft chirping sound in midair, accompanied by a scorching smell, and something fell out of thin air.The delicate and fragile butterfly wings twitched slightly, reflecting a crystal-like luster.

"Fuck! Invisible Moth!" Gru was not moved by the beautiful scenery, but instead cursed, "Be careful! There are anti-spectral creatures here, and I have put on the protective clothing! Don't be bitten by the bugs!"

As he spoke, he threw a decoy bomb casually, and orange sparks shot out, causing ripples in the air. A few invisible moths were lured by the flames, plunged into the rising smoke, twitched and suffocated, and fell to the ground.After only one glance to confirm the result of the battle, Gru turned his head and strode towards the outside of the camp.Landing has always been the most dangerous moment, and there is no room for mistakes.

Looking at the busy scene in front of him, Yan Beichen shook his neck slightly, and walked slowly to the door.Two days ago, the Magic Wolf made three consecutive jumps. It may be that the course was unstable. It took some time to lock the coordinates of the barren star, and it stopped outside the atmosphere without any risk.

Perhaps because of the excessive gravity, there is no planetary ring system near this desolate star. There is only one not-so-small satellite orbiting around, and the revolution speed is not fast.Therefore, Captain Barnett made a decision to park the Magic Wolf on the back of the satellite, and all the landing craft, C-type field exploration mechs and infantry armor on board formed an advance team to enter the atmosphere to conduct preliminary surveys and target locking.The Harrier will support it from the sidelines and return to the satellite to stand by every day when it is stationed.

Under such an arrangement, Gru naturally became the captain of the advance team.As the only soldier and equipment operator, Yan Beichen is responsible for the logistics and detection assistance of the whole team, and must participate in the whole process.

Despite the on-board gravity exercises, the actual landing was still quite a pain.The special decompression suit shared part of the impact of gravity, but also increased other burdens on the body. This is not a comfortable and comfortable training chamber. The humidity in the air is astonishingly high. There are two celestial bodies hanging in the sky. The smaller one is not yet The fully rising sun—it was a white dwarf, small and not very bright, but surprisingly hot.The big one is the Desolate Star Satellite which is close at hand, occupying half of the sky.The night here should be longer than imagined, so the temperature difference and humidity between day and night are far beyond the range that ordinary people can bear.

Naturally, those native biological groups also produced some unexpected changes.Glancing at the pile of scorched and transparent butterfly wings, Yan Beichen didn't go out to cause trouble, but quietly returned to the cabin, got into his land vehicle, and conserved his energy.

An hour later, Gru strode back to the landing craft, opened the mask of the airtight protective suit, and took a deep breath: "Fuck, this damned desolate star! Boy, it's your turn, turn on the detection machine, and scan the surrounding area first." environmental conditions."

This is also one of Yan Beichen's tasks.Without hesitation, he picked up the crystal screen at hand and pressed a few keys. A slight buzzing sound came from the trunk of the land vehicle. Then, 6 small round balls flew out one after another, circling around Gru Turned around.This is the flying eye of the B-type detection aircraft, which is specially used for environmental surveys, and can scan geological, hydrological and biological information within [-] kilometers.

"Don't use stealth mode?" Gru asked with a frown.

"There are anti-spectral creatures, and the stealth mode is prone to problems. Color camouflage is enough." Yan Beichen looked up at the electromagnetic shield outside, and pressed the command key.

Without any stagnation, the ball flew out of the landing craft, whizzed through the green light curtain, and threw it into the distance.A holographic topographical map appeared on the crystal screen in front of Yan Beichen.

"If there is no accident, the scan can be completed in about 2 hours." He glanced at the data on the screen and said.

"Hmph, this is a damn place, if there is no accident, we will go to hell." Gru put on the protective mask again, and walked out of the boat angrily, "Rest in place for 2 hours! Before the sun rises completely, we will Set off!"

Exploring a desolate star has never been an easy task, let alone finding a rare creature not much bigger than a dog on this desolate star.

Sitting on the fully enclosed land vehicle, Yan Beichen focused on the crystal screen in front of him, and several light spots flickered around the screen.In the communicator, a voice sounded, with a little tired panting: "Jixing, are there any direpeds ahead?"

"The No. 3 flying eye is damaged, and there is no image of the phobia, but it is not safe." Yan Beichen quickly glanced at the screen, and immediately touched the crystal screen, and another small ball made a buzzing sound and flew along the exhaust hole. out.

"Fuck!" A curse came from the communicator, "If the Direpedo is still useful, this time it's a damn big loss!"

Direfoots are of course useful. Leather covered with scales is the favorite luxury of federal nobles. Teeth and claws can be polished into side weapons. They are extremely strong and cannot be detected by any instrument. They are essential tools for assassination.If it weren't for the fact that the monster with a height of 3 meters and a weight of several tons was too difficult to deal with, it would have been wiped out by those dignitaries.However, for such a terrifying guy, they actually ran into two groups these days, no wonder Gru's anger is getting bigger and bigger.

Yan Beichen didn't have time to listen to these complaints. He fixed his eyes on the screen directly in front of him, carefully observing the information recorded by Flying Eye. It is definitely not a good person to be able to discover and kill Flying Eye so quietly. After a while, the scene was restored again.While checking, he opened his mouth and said, "No. 3 has been filled, and the image is projected...it's the King Snake!"

Following the sound, the picture on the screen disappeared again, and then, a powerful impact hit the landing vehicle, Yan Beichen's pupils shrank to the extreme, and suddenly pushed the joystick, the land vehicle drew a surprising The curve of the sky narrowly avoids the bright beam of light, but one after another, there is an earth-shattering roar in the jungle, the trees and vines explode together, and a bright red shadow rushes towards this side like lightning !

It really is a king snake!An adult body is 10 meters long, possesses hard scale armor that cannot be penetrated by high-frequency weapons, and has lightning-like speed, not to mention its venom and energy wave attacks, let alone a direpedia, even a gregarious six-armed ape cannot face it Resist the attack of the King Snake!

Who would have thought that there would be a king snake here!

However, at this moment, Yan Beichen couldn't get away no matter what.Lu Xingche's speed is nothing compared to the King Snake, and the infantry armor that follows him is too late to help. With his own strength alone, it is impossible to escape from the King Snake's mouth!

Just at the very moment, a row of laser beams were nailed precisely 5 meters in front of the land vehicle. Sensing the danger, the King Snake flicked its tail suddenly, narrowly avoiding the shooting.The strong airflow rolled over the land vehicle, causing it to shift several degrees. Yan Beichen didn't worry much about his vehicle, but raised his head and looked at the sky.

The silvery white light and shadow slid across the sky, leaving an afterimage.This was a sublight speed attack, and the laser rays made a short swishing sound, all hitting the King Snake.Enraged by the pain, the monster opened its bloody mouth, and a bright light flew towards the attacker.The speed of light was no slower than the flying speed. The Harrier gracefully turned around and dodged the attack. Unexpectedly, the King Snake's powerful tail flicked and rushed towards the sky!

It's hard to imagine such a cunning creature.It turns out that the attack just now was just a trap, and this surprise attack is the real purpose. Since the path has already been set, the attack plane landed on the track of the King Snake's attack, and the sharp fangs emitted a faint black light. Even the titanium-tritium alloy of the mecha can't resist the bite force!

Is it going to be bad?Anyone can't help exclaiming, worried about that mecha knight, but Yan Beichen didn't. Through the glass partition, he calmly watched a ray shoot out from the belly of the machine, like a tricky sword, piercing through the After penetrating the king snake's soft throat, in just an instant, the upper jaw of the giant snake was torn apart by the cation cannon, and the blood mist filled the sky, while the silver kite broke through the blood all over the sky, and swirled gracefully. Son.

A voice came from the intercom: "Little Tail, did you get scared just now?"

That tone of voice didn't seem like he had gone through a life-and-death struggle at all, and he was neither serious nor serious from the inside to the outside.Yan Beichen didn't notice the smile on his lips, but his voice was rarely relaxed: "You ruined the king snake's head."

"What!" Another voice came in immediately, "Boss! That's a king snake! Where can you blow it?! What a waste!"

The glands in the King Snake's brain are rare medicinal materials, twice as valuable as the Direpedia.

"Cough. Pay attention to your side! Don't provoke any troublesome guys." The frivolous voice immediately became serious, commanding in a seeming manner.

"Scratch! Corrosion frog! Is this snake here to eat?" Suddenly, there was a noise in the intercom, and the line was disconnected soon.

"Okay, Jixing, continue to survey, I'm right behind you." Following these words, the Harrier flashed in the sky and re-entered stealth mode.

Yan Beichen didn't waste time on the empty zenith, and locked his eyes on the crystal screen in front of him: "Coordinates 19 and 126, there is a problem with light refraction, pay attention to protection. There is also a gap in the northwest corner, try to get closer ..."

This is the third day of entering the barren star, and it is also the most critical moment for their "hunting" operation.Since landing, Grew, who has rich experience in field combat, quickly made a combat deployment.The crystal beast is not a creature with strong combat power, concealment and escape are its talents.Faced with such a cunning little thing, it is obviously not a good idea to conduct a step-by-step investigation, so "encirclement and suppression" became the only option.

A small team composed of infantry armor spread out from the habitat of crystal beasts, surrounded on three sides, and hunted and killed the beasts encountered at the lowest cost.This kind of commotion will inevitably alarm the crystal beast, causing the cautious little guy to flee to the side that is not surrounded, and this side is the real key area. Several land vehicles guard the gap, and Captain Barnett's The Harrier attack aircraft sits in the town, together with the defense.

Of course, this plan is not perfect, and still depends on some luck.But catching crystal beasts, who doesn't rely on luck?This is a desolate star with enhanced gravity. Rather than delaying too much time, such a plan is more in line with the wishes of the group of pirates.

Naturally, Yan Beichen had no objection to this point.Since he is the only one who can repair the flying eye, the land vehicle he is on has also become the ground monitoring center. For the sake of planning, he even actively showed some strategic talents, using the flying eye to make some practical and effective suggestions.And this also greatly increased the favor of Barnett and Grue towards him.Regardless of whether he can catch the crystal beast this time, he should no longer be regarded as an ordinary soldier, which is obviously very meaningful.

But relatively speaking, the burden on his shoulders has also become greater. The continuous high-gravity environment makes the capillaries start to bleed, and he has to hurry up to repair the equipment at night and reset the damaged flying eye. If there are two more days, it may Even this body will collapse for it.However, Yan Beichen didn't care about this. He picked up a pill and stuffed it into his mouth. He swiped his finger on the crystal screen and calmly issued an instruction: "On the right side, be careful at 2 o'clock. exist, the number is around 3..."

After a while, the medicine took effect, and the fundus hemorrhage caused by gravity gradually faded away. His figure did not relax at all, and he sat upright in front of the car screen.
