Three hours later, a medium-sized landing craft ejected off the mothership and headed for Planet Three deep in the galaxy.

This medium-sized landing craft has a capacity of twenty-four people, can carry two armored infantry squads and at least one mecha squad, and is quite leather. In the age of interstellar exploration, landing craft are often tasked with exploring and tackling tough problems, with a sturdy hull, powerful firepower, and a large number of cutting-edge technologies to improve the survival rate of crews on strange planets.

Now the medium-sized landing craft has only five people in place, all other life-sustaining equipment has been dismantled, only the necessary force has been retained, and all the space that has been freed up is crammed with energy tanks - at least four times the rated energy for a full load.

Zhang Tianjiu did not dare to underestimate the black tide at all, and made the most adequate preparations.

Strictly speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang is really a soldier with a very contract spirit, since he promised General Hippo and received payment from others in advance, even if he knew that it was a sea of swords and fires, he had to break through.

It's a bit out of step with his ruffian personality.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Tianjiu insisted on breaking into Alpha 3 was far more than the "spirit of contract", but more for himself.

After traveling through time and space, it was found that Zhang Tianjiu's seriously injured body had undergone some subtle changes, and the dark genes began to become active. Prior to this, the dark genes in Zhang Tianjiu's body were severely suppressed.

This is actually the embodiment of Amy's will.

In another time and space, Amy, as the chief genetic modification expert of the Galaxy Alliance, has always insisted on "bright transformation". Although genetic modification of the human body is a last resort, in any case, it is necessary to adhere to the "light principle" and must not allow the dark gene to take over.

Therefore, including Zhang Tianjiu, almost all ace genetically modified fighters are bright fighters.

The dark gene was ruthlessly suppressed and completely dormant.

Originally, Amy's plan was to completely eliminate all dark genes, but after encountering countless failures, Miss Amy had no choice but to give up this unrealistic idea.

As an inevitable part of the human gene chain, it is impossible for dark genes to be completely eliminated.

Otherwise, the genetic chain of the human body will become very incomplete, which will eventually lead to the collapse of the subject.

However, the "Doomsday War" caused Zhang Tianjiu to suffer heavy damage, and the light system power in his body seriously declined, and the suppressed dark gene immediately became extremely active.

Amy tried, but couldn't hold it down.

After discussing with Zhang Tianjiu, the two agreed that since they couldn't suppress it, it was better to guide it correctly.

Whether it is a light gene or a dark gene, it is a necessary part of the human gene chain, "existence is reasonable", and blindly suppressing it is obviously not the best policy. Zhang Tianjiu proposed that genetic modification should still vary from person to person. If someone has a particularly strong dark gene, it should be further strengthened.

So far, at least, there is no solid evidence that the active dark genes lead to personality changes.

The light gene and the dark gene are just two different sides of the gene chain.

The outbreak of the Black Tide may be an opportunity for Zhang Tianjiu.

Any opportunity to make himself stronger, Zhang Tianjiu does not want to miss it.

As far as Zhang Tianjiu's own character is concerned, he is actually very lazy, if possible, he is very willing to spend his life doing nothing, no need to fight, no need to work hard, nothing to drink wine, bubble chicks, roll the sheets, and his wish is enough.

It's a pity that if you don't win this war of extermination, everything is just a luxury.

Zhang Tianjiu personally piloted the landing craft.

Don't look at the small tonnage of the landing craft, which has high technical requirements for the driver.

After all, many times, landing craft have to deal with a new environment that they don't know much about, and they have to deal with possible unexpected situations at any time. The average spaceship pilot is very incompetent.

After flying over the orbit of the sixth planet, the influence of the dark forces increased significantly.

The ship's electronics began to be disturbed, the speed of progress slowed down, and the energy consumption soared in a straight line.

From time to time, the landing craft experienced sudden vibrations.

"Captain, what's going on?"

Luca asked, sitting in his place, a little nervously.

Comparatively speaking, he and Iron Arm have the least experience in space flight among the five-person team. Before that, he was just a black market fighter, fighting to the death in the dark underground boxing ring every day for three meals a day, what chance did he have to travel in space?

"Dark Storm. ”

Zhang Tianjiu replied simply.

"Dark Storm, why can't you see anything?"

Through the holographic camera, everyone can clearly see the scene outside the cabin. Space, it seems, is calm.

Zhang Tianjiu said with a smile: "The dark power is the best at hiding itself. Now the dark storm has filled the entire galaxy, everywhere, but we can't see it. ”

The landing craft moved on.

Finally reached the synchronous orbit of Planet Alpha III.

"Attention, we are about to enter the atmosphere of Planet Three, so everyone is ready for a landing impact. ”

Zhang Tianjiu's warning sounded in everyone's ears.

The team members silently checked the equipment again.

"Bald, the situation is a little wrong, the wireless guidance signal of the mining base was suddenly interrupted just now. ”

In Zhang Tianjiu's mind, a little peach's voice sounded.

As they penetrate deep into the center of the galaxy, the dark forces interfere with the electronics more and more, but the landing craft always follows the wireless guidance signal of the mining base, and the direction is not wrong.

While on board the battleship, Captain Gordon told them that communication with the mining base had been lost, but that the wireless guidance signal was automatic and did not need to be manned. As long as you connect to the wireless channel at the mining base, you can get automatic guidance.

Now, too, the wireless guidance signal is interrupted.

"Is there something wrong with the base, or is it the influence of the dark forces?"

Zhang Tianjiu asked a little uncertainly.

"I don't know. ”

Little Peach replied honestly.

"Can you locate it?"

In any case, it is necessary to move towards the base, and according to the information provided by General Hippo, the location where the Dark Flower may appear is just below the mining base.

Xiao Taohong thought for a while and said: "The Kuroshio has too much impact on electronic equipment, and accurate positioning is definitely not possible, so we can only ensure that the general orientation is good, and then look for it slowly when we get to the ground." It's the daytime phase of the planet, and the dark creatures should be less active, and with the protection of this landing craft, it should be able to withstand the small dark creatures. ”

"Well, then let's do it, as long as you rush to the mining base, it will be a victory!"

Zhang Tianjiu immediately handed over the piloting rights of the landing craft to Xiao Taohong, and freed his hands to inspect the equipment - BAT light armor, ultraviolet pistol, light machine gun, high-energy light wave gun grenade and short-edged laser sword.

All these equipment are from Zhang Tianjiu's hands.

When he was on Creel Star, several senior weapons experts of the Chuck Empire sent by General Shanno to cooperate with Zhang Tianjiu praised this Visci as a peerless genius, and God knows how there could be so many whimsical ideas in his bare head.

Little Pink activated the landing program, and the spacecraft shook slightly, leaving the synchronous orbit and shooting straight towards the dense atmosphere of Planet Alpha III.

So far, everything is still under control.

Although the sudden outbreak of the Kuroshio Tide forced them to travel through most of the galaxy in a landing craft and expended more than three times the energy, they finally reached Planet 3 without danger.

This last tens of thousands of kilometers of journey, but at a completely unexpected time, there was an unexpected mutation.

As the spacecraft entered the atmosphere of Planet Three, it slammed and slowed down violently, while the shield opened to resist the high temperatures caused by friction. At this moment, Xiao Taohong, who was in charge of piloting the spaceship, exclaimed.

"Oh no, super dark storm ......"

Before he could finish a sentence, the landing craft shook heavily, and then it was as if it had been hit by a huge iron fist, and the heavy landing craft fell to the ground like a paper airplane.

Rows of red lights lit up in the cabin, and warnings were sharp.

"Don't panic, don't unfasten the safety buckle, the anti-collision system of the landing craft will protect everyone. With an impact of this height, it is not a big problem. Besides, we have the Light Armor. ”

Zhang Tianjiu said very calmly.

Little Pink has given up on the last effort to control the ship, and the landing craft is completely out of control.

Fortunately, in this case, the original landing craft designers had already taken it into account, and the spacecraft's anti-collision system was extremely strong and in place. As long as it does not directly hit a planet at the high speed of astronautics, such a falling impact will not cause fatal injury to personnel.

Zhang Tianjiu didn't know how many times he had experienced a similar situation, and he was already surprised.

The only concern is that it is not known how far away the spacecraft crash site is from the mining base.

"Boom-"

With an earth-shattering bang, the landing craft crashed into a crater tens of meters deep on the ground of the primeval forest of Planet 3. The pressure-resistant double-layer shell of the spacecraft was immediately deformed, and a large number of cracks appeared in many places, which were seriously damaged.

However, most of the impact energy is also absorbed by the compression-resistant shell, which ensures that the impact force on the inner compartment is minimized.

The tall trees of the primeval forest are ignited.

The fire wasn't too big, though.

Moments later, the deformed hatch of the landing craft opened, and five figures flew out of it, none other than Team Darkflower.

As soon as they got out of the hatch, the five of them naturally formed a defensive formation, surrounding Zhang Tianjiu in the middle.

The brand-new Light Warframe, which cost hundreds of kilograms of BAT material, made its first public appearance on Planet Alpha III. The biggest feature of this kind of armor is that it is small, almost a tailor-made spacesuit, and after Colonel Luo Yun, the tallest Colonel Luo Yun, wears the armor, his height is only a little more than two meters, which is very dexterous, not as bulky as other simple mechas.

The surface of the mecha is shining with a faint purple light, but other than that, there is no obvious difference from ordinary simple mechas.
