"Huh?" Chen Xiao frowned, his body lay down and did not move, but his tone became serious: "Xiao Tong, when did you feel this way?" Where is it? ”

"I was on duty the night before yesterday, and in the second half of the night, I was in a panic, and I couldn't see anything when I looked outside the protective shield from the monitor, but when I tried to get close to the protective shield, the feeling was particularly strong."

Yilan thought back to the scene at that time, in the dark and silent middle of the night, she stared wide-eyed and tried her best to look outside the protective shield, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, calmed down, and continued to whisper: "I didn't go out with you today, standing at the gate of the camp to see you off, I wasn't on the mecha at that time, the protective shield of the camp was open, I felt something staring, it was particularly creepy, but after a while, it was gone." ”

After Yilan finished speaking, she was a little afraid that Sister Chen would reprimand her for being cowardly. Her feelings came and went suddenly, and it was hard to say why. Originally, she wasn't going to say it, it's not good to be scary for no reason. No, the more she thought about it at night, the more uneasy she became, and it was twice.

"Murong, Ah Hai, what about you?" Chen Xiao attaches great importance to safety issues, even if Yilan's words sound like nonsense and groundless, she still treats them cautiously.

"I haven't." Murong said.

"I haven't either." Zhang Shenhai said, he suddenly turned over to face Yilan's side, and asked, "Xiao Tong, when you were in practice, you once encountered six teams in the forest ambush, how did you find out?" ”

Zhang Shenhai is tall and strong, looking big and transformed, but he is a very serious and hard-working person, since he was planted in the hands of Yilan, he was scolded by the flower deputy group for being bloody. He carefully reviewed the drill video to find out his shortcomings.

After watching the whole process of being designed by Ilan, he admired Ilan. At that time, he was often full of praise, and after hearing that Yilan had been ambushed but escaped calmly from Liu Jiwang's mouth, he was even more interested in Yilan's drill video, and specially found it and watched it.

At the moment he was lying sideways in his sleeping bag, revealing a large head. His eyes were slicing towards Ilan, with a curious and solemn expression.

When Yilan heard this, he subconsciously turned his head sideways. He and Zhang Shenhai were eye-to-eye in the dark, and just as they were about to speak, they heard Murong on the other side ask, "Yes." Xiao Tong. At that time, the six teams came, did you see the opponent's mecha, or did you just sense it intuitively? ”

Murong and Yilan were in a team during the drill, and they were urgently recalled by Sister Qi at that time, and they came to a counter-encirclement of the sixth team, and Sister Qi praised Yilan's cleverness afterwards, so Murong also had an impression of this matter.

Yilan then turned his head to Murong's side again, and said hesitantly, "I didn't think it was right at the time. Later, I pretended to look for ingredients, and vaguely saw a corner of the mecha's shell. ”

Chen Xiao sat up. asked very seriously: "Xiao Tong, have you only had feelings in the past two days?" ”

"Yes, Sister Chen."

Seeing that the boss was not sleeping, Yilan also got up with a bone, and there was no reason for her to lie down and answer the captain's question. Murong and Zhang Shenhai reacted quickly, and naturally sat up on the ground.

People in a dormitory look at each other in the dark.

Yilan successfully pulled the tense atmosphere in the dormitory, she was extremely worried, seeing that they were going to complete the task and go back in a few days, her statement was groundless and shook the morale of the army, but if she didn't say it, she couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, if there is a situation, she will have to repent and die afterwards, it concerns so many people, not to mention that there is Duanmu in it.

Chen Xiao got up and said, "You sleep, I'll go out and let them wake up." ”

Yilan hurriedly lowered his voice and shouted: "Sister Chen, why don't I go to watch tonight, I'll stare at the monitoring screen, maybe I'm mistaken." ”

Chen Xiao groaned for a moment and said, "No need tonight, there is a protective shield, and there are two people on duty." You go out with me tomorrow. ”

Murong leaned over and patted Yilan twice on the shoulder: "Sleep." ”

Zhang Shenhai next to him didn't say a word, and simply lay down neatly.

Yilan also fell asleep obediently, and she said the panic in her heart, which made her much easier. After a while, the people on both sides breathed for a long time, and she also fell asleep, and she actually slept peacefully this night.

Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the gate of the camp as usual, ready to go. Elantra stood under the mech for a moment, but didn't feel anything.

After getting on the mecha, Chen Xiao asked her: "Xiao Tong, how is it?" ”

"I don't feel that way." Yilan was very embarrassed, she was so startled, adding a lot of Chen Xiao's thoughts.

Chen Xiao didn't say anything more, and led everyone out. The expedition has come to an end, and there are not many places that have not been explored in the entire Liuhua No. 3. Yilan was naturally assigned to the team led by Chen Xiao on this day. Chen Xiao was very careful, and after she set up the defensive formation, she asked Yilan to stand under the mecha and feel it for herself.

"Xiao Tong, you can talk to your classmates."

Mecha members sometimes spread gossip quite quickly, and Chen Xiao learned from Liu Jiwang that there was a researcher named Duanmu who was Yilan's college classmate. She asked Yilan and Duanmu to chat, which made Yilan's behavior of observing the surrounding environment on the ground seem more natural.

Chen Xiao has never despised Yilan's feelings, it is related to the safety of so many people in the scientific expedition team, and any slightest abnormality is worth treating with caution. Her concern was that Liuhua III might be hiding a small group of interstellar pirates or absconding outlaws. This kind of thing has happened before, after all, the Meteor Star Belt is only a three-day voyage from the edge of the Alliance, and it is not a place where humans cannot go deep at all, and it is also possible that outlaws have malicious intentions to lurk here.

Elan jumped, she was much more cautious now, carrying her bag with her, and she had a whole bunch of tools and weapons at her disposal in case of an accident.

Duanmu was sampling, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Ilan was standing under the mecha, looking at him with a smile. He glanced up, slightly surprised, usually mecha members don't get off the mecha when they are on duty, last time Ilan and he used the communicator to send messages secretly, this time Dafang came down.

Ilan raised his chin slightly at him, motioning for him to continue with the job at hand. Duanmu smiled, still bowing his head to do things. Elan stood. Sighing, she still didn't feel anything, she must have been in a high level of nervousness on the night of duty. It's suspicious.

The activity area of the expedition team is quite scattered, Duanmu and two colleagues are in one pile, and the other two are seven or eight meters away, and the scientific research spacecraft is docked in a flat place, which is also about ten meters away from the scientific expedition team. Five mechs formed a protective ring around them. The people who work seem busy and orderly, the surrounding grass and trees are quiet, and everything is normal.

Ilan paced slowly. Still doesn't feel anything unusual.

At this time, Duanmu just finished the work at hand. He straightened up and looked over at Ilan.

So Ilan smiled and walked towards him. A few steps away from his colleague stopped, Duanmu understood, walked to Yilan's side, he frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ilan smiled, "It's nothing. Come down and relax. ”

Duanmu glanced at her. Laugh without saying a word. Ilan didn't come down to relax, but the mecha team members' actions were self-motivated, and he was not easy to investigate.

"Are you going to be busy?" Ilan asked.

"The preliminary investigation is almost over, and it really needs to be carefully investigated, so there is not enough time." Duanmu smiled.

Yilan nodded and said, "Duanmu, I see that the plants here are very peculiar, and you must have gained a lot." ”

"Yes, there are a lot of them that I've never seen before." Duanmu said casually. "There are also some variants that seem to be plants in our alliance, and there will be a lot of analysis work to be done when we go back."

Somehow, a trance-like thought flashed through Ilan. But he didn't catch it. She frowned.

"What's wrong?" Duanmu asked again, his eyes concerned.

Yilan hesitated, she didn't need to hide anything from Duanmu, she took half a step forward, leaned closer to Duanmu, and asked softly: "Duanmu, how do you feel about your field investigation these days?" ”

Duanmu stared at Yilan when he heard this, Yilan raised his eyes to look at him, the two looked at each other, Duanmu immediately understood what Yilan meant, Yilan was not asking if he was tired. He looked sideways and said slowly, "It's nothing special, it feels normal." What about you? ”

Ilan didn't answer directly, but continued to ask, "How are you feeling at Liuhua One?" ”

Duanmu didn't think it was annoying, he groaned, and said a little uncertainly: "There may be a lot of people on Liuhua No. 1, and I think it's more lively than here." Here," he pondered the wording, "it seems a little quiet." ”

Yilan's heart jumped, yes, since she hit Liuhua No. 3, at first she felt that this planet had a kind of wild beauty, but after a long time, she has always had a faint sense of disobedience.

She had never been to the edge of the star belt, and she didn't know what these primordial stars that had not been set foot on by humans should be, but Liuhua No. 1 and Liuhua No. 3 gave her a somewhat different feeling, originally she didn't care, she just thought it was the natural difference of the planet. Now that Duanmu said it, she thought about it carefully, Liuhua No. 1 is also very primitive, and there is a vigorous vitality in the place where the grass and trees are thick, while Liuhua No. 3, the grass and trees are so vigorous, but it makes people feel silent for no reason.

"Duanmu," Ilan said with a little concern, looking up at him, "I've felt panicked twice. ”

Duanmu stared at her seriously, and said for a while, "Is there no reason?" ”

Ilan nodded, squirmed his lips slightly and said, "Once at the night watch, once at the gate of the camp in the morning, I felt something staring at me, just two days ago. ”

"Could it be that you've been too tired and nervous lately?" Duanmu looked at her worriedly.

"Perhaps, I'm not sure. I'm just here to tell you, not to scare you. Ilan laughed as he spoke.

Duanmu also smiled, and Wen Yan said, "I know." ”

"Do you have a weapon for self-defense?" Ilan thought about it and asked uneasily.

Duanmu's eyes froze, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, Yilan actually opened his mouth to be a weapon, how thrilling the things she touched. Seeing her worried look, in order to make her relax, he shook his head and deliberately joked: "I'm here to investigate, does the sampling dagger count?" ”

I didn't want Yilan to hear this, but he frowned, and said with an embarrassed face: "Duanmu, we have rules that we can't give weapons to others at will." ”

Duanmu was stunned for a moment, and Wen Yan comforted: "Yilan, don't be afraid, we will go back the day after tomorrow, and it will be fine." ”

Yilan once again felt that their roles were reversed, she meant to remind Duanmu, but Duanmu cheered her up in turn, she smiled embarrassedly: "I'm cowardly, you pay a little attention to yourself, don't be too far away from the mecha, and don't be too far away from the spaceship." ”

Duanmu smiled and admitted, "Okay, I know." ”

Yilan hesitated and added: "Duanmu, if anything happens, people are the most important, don't care about your instrument samples." ”

Duanmu still nodded and smiled: "I understand." ”

"Then I'll go up, you go busy, I sometimes think cranky, don't be scared." Ilan laughed.

Duanmu let out a soft "um" and watched her get on the mecha with a smile. He saw her leap onto the mech with ease, her movements agile.

This is the gentle girl who used to take care of the fields and lakes with him, she used to whimsically drive an agricultural mecha to lie on the surface of the lake and watch the stars, but now she drove a military mecha to the wild primordial star to perform a guard mission, obviously scared in her heart, but she smiled, and did not forget to tell him to be careful.

Duanmu sighed silently, his gaze moved to the mecha window, even though he couldn't see inside, he still showed a relieved smile, and then he saw the mecha's hanging hand slightly raise a few fingers, and then he turned around and walked towards his colleague with a smile.

"Xiao Tong, do you feel it?" Chen Xiao asked in the middle of the team.

"Nope." Ilan replied, paused for a moment, not knowing whether to speak or not, it was not good for her to disturb the morale of the army out of nothing.

Chen Xiao heard her tone procrastinating, as if she had unfinished words, and said very simply: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Yilan was encouraged and immediately said, "Sister Chen, I have always felt that Liuhua No. 3 is very quiet. ”

Chen Xiao was silent for a moment and hummed softly.

Yilan was particularly reluctant to go, she increased Chen Xiao's ideological burden, and she couldn't say anything clearly, now she wanted to wait for the airship to pick them up safely, at most Chen Xiao laughed at her for being timid.

Nothing happened that day, and Yilan saw Duanmu in the restaurant at night, and the two looked at each other and smiled as usual.

The next day, Yilan still followed Chen Xiao out, but it was not Duanmu's spaceship that was guarded, but a biological investigation team, they were busy collecting samples of soil, rocks and river water, and even trapped a small flying insect in a forest, put it in the detection instrument to get some data, and released the small flying insect.

Ilan still got out of the mecha experience, and still didn't feel anything. After returning to the camp, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and was a little embarrassed when she faced Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao didn't say anything. When she met Duanmu in the restaurant at night, she smiled embarrassedly, but Duanmu smiled at her soothingly.

She slept well this night, thinking before going to bed that she should sleep comfortably on her own aircraft ship at this time tomorrow, and then smiled secretly, what kind of psychological quality is she, her suspicion is so serious that she is restless, and now her requirements for the quality of life have dropped again and again, and the small rest cabin on the aviation ship has made her feel safe.

Elan thought that she must not let Ryan know about this, otherwise she would be laughed at by him for a while, and in the future, he scolded her for being greedy for life and afraid of death, and she had no confidence to refute it. (To be continued......)
