"Ah Hai."

Ilan heard his own out-of-tune cry sharpened. The next moment, she had already rushed to the monitoring room.

Zhang Shenhai sat in front of the monitoring screen with some excitement, he had just received the last interstellar video from Liuhua 2.

The two mecha formations used fixed-point video cameras on the Liuhua 2 and 3 satellites to exchange information every two days. In areas without satellite network coverage, fixed-point video cameras can enable video communication between two planets not far away, but they consume a lot of energy and are generally used when necessary.

For example, when the Xinghai border guards patrol the fringe star belt, they are often outside for ten days and a half months, and they will be divided into several small teams, and they can watch and help each other with fixed-point video cameras. The Iron-Blooded Rose Mecha Regiment's aviation ships are also equipped with fixed-point video cameras to keep in touch with the mecha formations that are out on duty.

Zhang Shenhai learned that the scientific research mission of Liuhua 2 was successfully completed, and their own aviation ship was close to Liuhua 2, and they would be able to reach Liuhua 3 in half a day.

When he finished the video, he vaguely heard Yilan's shout, and the joy in his heart had not subsided, and his thoughts were on the bright side, could it be that the scientific expedition team was back? Glancing towards the monitoring screen, a large screen specifically shows the scene at the gate of the camp, which is still empty, with no trace, and in the three small split screens, the members of the scientific expedition team are still busy without stopping.

He turned his head to look at the door, and Ilan was full of horror, and rushed in and shouted, "Ah Hai, look at the woods outside." ”

Zhang Shenhai reacted quickly, without a single superfluous word, and pressed his finger on the monitoring screen to directly take out the woods and enlarge the area. He scanned it carefully, and there were rows of trees, nothing out of the ordeal.

Ilan leaned his head over. Zhang Shenhai's cheeks were immediately brushed with some warm snorts that she kept gasping for as she ran all the way.

Ilan didn't care about the distance between their heads at all, her eyes fixed on the trunks and treetops on the screen. Suddenly, she pointed to a tree and exclaimed, "Ah Hai, this is this tree, and the black at the bottom of it is on top, just like the other trees." But it just came down in the blink of an eye. ”

Her hand pressed up, and the tree was enlarged individually, but unfortunately the resolution was not high. Only a vague mass could be seen attached to the trunk of the tree, but it was obvious that the dark shadow was not the trunk itself.

With a swipe of his finger, Ilan chose the black segment of the treetop of another tree to enlarge. This time it's more obvious. Definitely not the bark, but a black wrapping.

Zhang Shenhai's surface was like sinking water, and he asked seriously: "Xiao Tong, have you seen clearly?" Did you really slide down from the top of a tree? ”

In fact, he had already believed that the other black attachments were at the top of the tree, and there was one tree that was different, and it was so tight on the trunk that it didn't fall to the ground. It's also clearly not bark.

Ilan nodded vigorously, his eyes full of fear.

"It's a creature." Zhang Shenhai stared at Yilan and said.

"Outer space creatures." Ilan blurted out.

All organisms outside of the Alliance can be called extraterrestrial organisms in a broad sense. Including the unknown weeds at the entrance to the camp. However, in a narrow sense, the alien space creatures that people turn color when they mention them refer to strange life forms that are harmful or offensive to humans.

"Not sure yet." Zhang Shenhai said quickly, his finger pressed back to the overview of the entire forest, and quickly glanced at it, "There are more than 20 of them at present." ”

Ilan nervously looked at the three small split screens.

The No. 1 scientific expedition team is on an open slope, there are no woods around, but it is not certain whether there is a distance from it, and the framing of the surveillance video screen is limited by the position of the mecha recorder, perhaps the position of the mecha does not monitor the surrounding woods.

The No. 2 team is at the edge of the lake, and it is vaguely visible that there are woods behind it, and I can see the forest and grass, but I can't see the specifics clearly, but the members of the scientific expedition team are all moving on the side of the spacecraft.

Duanmu's No. 3 team was in the middle of the forest, and Ilan tried her best to distinguish on the screen, and found a tree top cover on the periphery of the mecha protection ring, and through the sparse branches, she saw an unusual blackness.

"Ah Hai, look here." She said with trembling fingers.

Zhang Shenhai only glanced at it, and looked up at Yilan: "The warning is withdrawn." His voice was cold, dry.

He turned on the communicator, dialed to the open channel of all the mechas, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Chen, please pay attention to the whole team, suspicious creatures were found in the camp woods, black, more than twenty, attached to the trunk of the tree, with concealment, and at present, its traces have also been found on the top of the trees outside the protective circle of the No. 3 squad, the number is unknown, it is recommended that all personnel immediately stop all activities, enter a state of combat readiness, and withdraw immediately." ”

Yilan stared at the monitoring screen, listening to Zhang Shenhai's warning in his ears, and his finger quickly wrote on his communicator: "Duanmu, don't look up, outer space creatures are at the top of the tree, drop everything, go back to the spaceship." ”

After she finished writing and Zhang Shenhai finished speaking, she hurriedly added: "Sister Chen, I initially suspect that there is wisdom, they know how to ambush separately, and the speed may be very fast." ”

She suspected that the things were fast because they had inadvertently slipped down the trunk of the tree by a color difference. She suspected they were sapient, but she had a flash of thought when she noticed that the blackness lurked in the treetops of Site Three. There is absolutely no basis for this, but she can't afford to gamble, and there's nothing wrong with asking everyone to be vigilant.

"Attention everyone, withdraw." Sister Chen ordered in the queue, "The left-behind personnel pay attention and are ready to respond at any time." ”

"Xiao Tong, get on the mecha." Zhang Shenhai said.

Yilan agreed, and looked at the monitoring screen where Duanmu was in a panic, only to see that the members of the scientific expedition team stopped their work and ran to the spaceship, and some people walked behind in a panic with the instruments. At a glance, she didn't have time to identify Duanmu's figure in detail, and quickly ran out of the door.

Just as she was about to run towards the mech, she stopped and turned towards the kitchen.

As a nutritionist, Elan has always kept in mind the principle of carrying nutrients with him and preparing them to distribute to his teammates wherever he goes.

Her mecha had already left some nutrients in her mecha out of professional habits. But now that she is preparing for war urgently, she doesn't know what the follow-up will be, so she has to take more. The reserves were all in the kitchen, and she rushed inside, carrying a large bag in each hand.

As soon as he walked out of the kitchen door, Elan turned his head in a daze. Looking into the woods outside the shield, he saw a large black bird fluttering from a tree, heading straight for the camp. The speed was very fast, and in a daze when her mouth was half open, she had already flown closer, obviously coming at her.

The big bird hit the shield headlong and appeared to be unconscious. Elan froze in place, trembling. It was a monster, and only a vague question rose in her mind: "Pterodactyl?" Bat? ”

The monster had two long, slender and sharp claws. The two wings are mottled with sticky silk, and each wing is supported by two umbrella bones, but the body is like the belly of an iron spider. Hard, flat, protruding beak with a sharp, slightly curved beak, and above the mouth are flat, sunken two eye sockets. Faintly visible is green. It still has a row of steel needle-like backspines arched on its back.

The strange bat was lying on the shield. Located diagonally above Ilan, the black wings seem to envelop Ilan. Ilan only felt like a century had passed, but in fact, it was only a moment, and the strange bat seemed to slide down little by little after it was knocked out.

Ilan screamed "ahh She threw two bags of nutrients on the ground, shook her hand and clicked on the communicator, taking a picture of the monster bat's whole body.

This is a crisis management approach that has been repeatedly emphasized in the theory classes of the recruits' training, and anyone who encounters an out-of-space creature. Every opportunity is taken to keep a photo so that rescuers or others can be aware of its characteristics. Analyze its attack power and work out a counterattack as soon as possible.

Ilan didn't think about it, and sent the image of the strange bat to the scientific investigators and mecha teammates of Liuhua No. 3.

Because of the curvature of the shield, the speed at which the monster bat slid faster. A moment slid across from the upper position that enveloped Elan to the opposite of her. Elan's gaze followed the strange bat as if she were stunned, and the spirit came back to her senses, turned and ran two steps, then turned back to pick up the two bags of nutrients on the ground, and when she bent over, her scalp was numb, and she didn't even glance at the shield.

It's not that Ilan is calm and calm, suppressing fear during the run, and still not forgetting her nutrients, but it is precisely because she is overexcited, flustered, everything is just a brain, and she does it very mechanically, she instinctively runs, and instinctively runs back to pick up her two bags of nutrients.

She gasped and ran to the door of the monitoring room, and heard Zhang Shenhai shouting: "Three detachments were attacked at the same time, the spacecraft of Detachment No. 1 was invaded, and the camp was surrounded. ”

Her body paused, and when she looked back, in such a short period of time, there were already dozens of strange bats standing upright outside the protective shield, and there were five or six large black wings spread out, constantly flapping over the protective shield.

Ilan stiffened his neck and turned to the monitoring room, Zhang Shenhai turned his back to her, on the monitoring screen in front of him, the three split screens were full of chaotic images, flying branches and leaves, fleeting skies, and strange bats that were rushing away, everything was mixed and intertwined, and the images switched rapidly, obviously the mecha was in a high-speed battle, which made the frame of the recorder keep shaking.

Nothing could be seen clearly on the screen, and Yilan couldn't see Duanmu's figure at all. She bit her lip fiercely and shouted, "Ah Hai, get on the mecha." ”

Zhang Shenhai turned around and said angrily: "You still don't get on the mecha? ”

Yilan trembled his lips and looked at Zhang Shenhai in horror, unable to make a sound in his throat.

Zhang Shenhai shouted: "Go quickly, I want to inform the captain and Chen Huanxing." ”

The border garrisons of the Alliance, such as the Xinghai Border Guards on the Chenhuan Star, are responsible for patrolling and monitoring the marginal star belts outside the Alliance, and are responsible for rescuing scientific expedition teams or civilians in distress on the edge star belts. According to the laws of the Alliance, anyone who finds an alien creature attacking humans in the edge of the star belt must promptly notify the nearest Star Sea border guards and let them exterminate the mutant creature.

Zhang Shenhai made an urgent announcement to Chen Huanxing in accordance with this regulation, and after he drank highly, he no longer looked at Yilan and was busy with himself.

Ilan didn't know what was going on, so he actually said, "A bag of nutrients for you." ”

She put a bag of nutrients in her hand at the door of the monitoring room, then turned and ran towards the mech. As she ran, her heart was like thunder, the blood in her body seemed to be bubbling, and the light around her seemed to be dimmed, so she didn't need to look up, and out of the corner of her eye, she could see more and more strange bats slapping the protective shield.

After Yilan jumped into the mecha in one breath, he walked quickly to the door of the monitoring room, guarding Zhang Shenhai nearby.

In the middle of the team, the No. 1 detachment was desperately asking for help, the spacecraft was occupied, the terrain was flat and open, there was no cover, and the ten members of the scientific expedition team were exposed to broad daylight, and it sounded like a few people had been brought on the mecha, but it seemed that they could not adapt to the rapid movement of the mecha, and all kinds of screams were muffled and muffled, and the mess became a pot of porridge.

Chen Xiao was hoarse, trying to give instructions in the midst of a scream, as if to ask the No. 2 detachment in the best situation to send someone to rush to the No. 1 detachment to support urgently.

Yilan couldn't hear the exact news of the No. 3 detachment, Chen Xiao was in the No. 3 detachment, and she couldn't send people to help, so it can be seen that the situation of Duanmu and them would not be too good.

Zhang Shenhai hadn't come out yet, Ilan raised his eyes and looked at the protective shield, it was really a terrifying scene, a large number of strange bats were lying on the protective shield and slapping hard, they pecked hard with their beaks and scratched hard with their claws.

The transparent shield was covered with the black wings of the monster bat, and the most terrifying thing was the pair of dim green lights in the eerie black, flickering with a devouring light. (To be continued......)
