Chapter 429: Steel Teeth

Lu Yu, who was wearing a special exoskeleton suit, walked at the front of the team, and there were six people behind him, seven of them were members of the same team, and Captain Lu Yu, who had served in the Space Fleet Marine Corps for 30 years, was the leader of this team.

But now that Lu Yu has retired, he is no longer a soldier, although his team has extremely advanced weapons, including the special exoskeleton suit they are wearing now, which is more advanced than the current Marine Corps of the Space Fleet in terms of performance, in addition, the rest of the weapons on the body, including their dress, are no different from soldiers, but in fact they are just employees of a joint organization.

This joint organization is the organization jointly established by the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization for the Andromeda Galaxy Project. On their special exoskeleton suit, there is a logo of this mechanism, which is a pattern of blue double rings, the two double rings represent two civilizations, the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization, and the color of the pattern is the same as the home planet of the two civilizations.

Because of this mark, Lu Yu and his comrades-in-arms jokingly called this joint organization "Shuanghuan Company", in fact, it is not wrong to say that it is a company, the two civilizations have joined forces to carry out such a huge plan, and its joint organization cannot be composed in an administrative way, on the contrary, it is more appropriate to use a commercial model. Just like now, the joint organization is an independent organization, and the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization send their own personnel according to the agreement to form the core of the organization. At the core, all plans and implementations are the same as those of a commercial organization, which is like two bosses who each contribute funds to form a company.

As for the organization, of course, there are departments below, but the size of this organization, only the smallest department under it, is not comparable to ordinary commercial companies. Just like Lu Yu's security department, its armament and staffing are comparable to that of a main fleet, and the recruits are basically experienced retired soldiers, and these soldiers are earthlings. Of course, there are also Blue Star people, and with all these years of working together, they now have a new name - Shuanghuan people.

Lu Yu has served in the Space Fleet Marine Corps for 30 years and is an experienced and extremely capable junior officer, but the Marine Corps is not as fast as the main battleship, and it is not so easy to climb step by step in peacetime. What's more, Lu Yu has a straightforward personality. likes to go straight, can't rub sand in his eyes, and is still a little captain after 30 years, and finally retired from the army with this rank.

After retiring, Lu Yu returned to Earth and lived an ordinary life. On the surface, Lu Yu has a stable job after retiring, and his income is more than enough, and he became a family in the second year after retiring, and had a child in the third year. After a few years, the husband and wife are loving and the family is happy, and everything seems to be perfect.

But Lu Yu is always not used to this kind of life, this kind of ordinary life is too boring for a soldier like him who has served for 30 years. He was even afraid that his spirit would collapse if he continued like this, and in order to adapt to this kind of life, Lu Yu worked hard by himself, and also participated in some sports hobby activities on weekdays, trying to change his role in other ways.

But a few years have passed, and the child can talk and walk, and Lu Yu, who looks no different from ordinary people, has always felt that he is out of place with the whole society. That's when it happened. He had stumbled upon a recruitment from the Joint Organization, and he was very interested in it. First, he can return to the life of a soldier, and second, the salary of the joint organization is not low, which is several times higher than his current job.

After thinking about it, Lu Yu persuaded his wife to participate in the recruitment, and in this way became one of the first recruiters to go to the Andromeda Galaxy. All these years down. Lu Yu is like a fish in water, and he is very comfortable to do, coupled with his experience in the Marine Corps, which also makes him stand out among ordinary soldiers, and it will not take long for him to take up the position of commander.

Just like now, the team led by Lu Yu is carrying out tasks with him as the commander. And the place they are in now is the strange primordial life planet that Su Yichen and they discovered back then.

The planet's peculiar ionosphere, combined with the variety of strange creatures that exist on the planet, has become one of the main targets of the Coalition's research. Now the planet has been named the Twin Rings, mainly because it is the primary target of the entire joint project.

On the planet Twin Rings, the Twin Rings Corporation (a joint organization) has built a colony area with an area of 598 square kilometers, about half the size of the Martian base Herschel City.

Although the area of the colony is not very large, the facilities inside are basically perfect, and the environment of the double-ringed planet is much better than that of the Mars base, and it is more suitable for people to live in it.

However, the actual number of people living in the entire colonial area is actually very small, and the total number of people living in the entire colony is only about 30,000. Moreover, more than half of the more than 30,000 people belong to the scientific and technological personnel of the Earth Civilization and the Blue Star Civilization, in addition to the security personnel, logistics personnel, service personnel, and so on.

Living on the double-ring planet is actually not very different from living on the earth, but unless necessary, people rarely leave the colony to go outside, after all, the double-ring planet is a paradise for all kinds of creatures, and the creatures here are unimaginable in terms of size and ferocity. Even the heavily armed Lu Yu and their team have to be cautious when they go out on a mission, if a distracted person accidentally encounters the most ferocious and powerful creature here, then it is possible to hang the lottery and even die.

And now, Lu Yu and his team members are ordered by the above to take up the hunting work, and their hunting object is a fierce beast called Steel Fang, although this beast is not the most powerful and ferocious one on this planet, but it is not the same, especially its veritable steel teeth, if you are unlucky, even if you wear a special exoskeleton suit, it is not absolutely safe.

Lu Yu, who was opening the road in front, suddenly stopped, his left hand was raised, and the team members behind him immediately spread out to both sides.

"Captain?" Team member Hani was not far behind Lu Yu, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward to Lu Yu's side and asked softly.

Hani is not an earthling, he is a Blue Star person, and there are three Blue Star people in Lu Yu's seven-person team, and Hani is one of them.

"There's a situation ahead, scout." Lu Yu said softly. His voice is clearly transmitted to the ears of each team member through the communication equipment within the special exoskeleton suit.

Hani nodded immediately, and took out a few small round balls from the baggage he was carrying, these balls were small, like glass marbles that children play with, in fact, not only the size is about the same, but even the appearance is almost the same.

Hani held the balls and looked in the direction ahead. Then he threw it forward with all his might. The balls were thrown out by Hani, but they did not fall to the ground, because they changed as they flew in the air, and the balls cracked all at once, and in the blink of an eye they became several bird-like things, and these small "birds" flapped their wings and flew away, and in the blink of an eye, they flew far ahead.

After throwing out the small round ball, Hani lowered his head to manipulate the terminal device in his hand, and after a while, he suddenly showed joy: "Captain." A predatory steel tooth. ”

"I'll see." Lu Yu glanced back, and when he saw the picture on the terminal held by Hani clearly, he was immediately happy: "Hehe, it seems that our luck is good, not long after we came out, we met Steel Tooth." ”

"yes, we're done with this guy, it's good luck." Not only Hani smiled when he spoke, but also the other team members. As a recruited security guard, there are rewards for missions like this. Depending on the difficulty and danger of the mission, the rewards vary.

But as a famous beast on this double-ringed planet, Steel Fang. The difficulty and danger are not low, if not the highest, and as long as they successfully complete this task, they will be rewarded handsomely when they return. Whether it is an earthling or a blue star in the team, these people are ordinary ex-soldiers, and they accept this job to find excitement or get used to the life of a soldier like Lu Yu, and secondly, for money. With money, their families can live a better life, and their children can have a better future in the future.

"Be careful, keep an eye on your surroundings." Lu Yu was still calm at this time, although he was also happy in his heart, but as a qualified commander, he knew better what was the most important thing when carrying out the mission.

Hani nodded repeatedly. Continuing to search the surroundings by manipulating the "birds", he soon told Lu Yu with certainty that there were several herbivores in the nearby area besides this steel tooth, and that there were no other creatures that could pose a threat to them.

"Hehe......." Hearing this answer, Lu Yu's heart finally relaxed, this unlucky steel tooth was already stable, and immediately Lu Yu commanded everyone to continue to move forward, and at the same time adjusted the formation of the team's advance, so as to be ready to fight anytime and anywhere.

After walking a short distance, I first saw three huge herbivorous creatures hungry figures, the body of the largest of which was like a small mountain, walking leisurely more than 2,500 meters in front of it, and the smallest body was two-thirds of it, they did not walk fast, but because the huge steps of the body were very large, and the ground could be felt with every step of falling.

At 11 o'clock from the three herbivores, in a dense jungle, Steel Fang hid inside. Yellow-green skin was the best protective color in the jungle, and the eyes of the steel teeth were tightly fixed on the three herbivores, and the mouth was slightly open, and it was covered with teeth as sharp as knives, as if waiting for the best opportunity to attack.

Compared to the giant herbivores, the steelfangs are much smaller, only one-third the size of the smallest of them. But for a beast like Steel Fang, the size of the body is not a comparison of the strength of the two sides, for these herbivores, its mouth full of steel teeth is the best weapon, not to mention that it also has a pair of sharp claws, which can easily cut through the flesh of those herbivores.

The reason why Steel Fang was waiting was because if it rushed out now, the frightened herbivores would run away immediately. Don't look at them walking slowly now, but once they escape, their speed is not slow, especially the pace span brought by their huge bodies, and it is difficult for steel teeth to catch up after lifting the speed.

In addition, herbivores have a keen sense of smell, and the steel teeth hide downwind to avoid being detected by them. It now waits patiently for the herbivores to get within the distance it can hunt smoothly, and then rushes out with lightning speed, so that it can harvest its food successfully.

In Steeltooth's heart, maybe it was already thinking about how to enjoy the food next. But it could not have imagined that just as it was staring at its predator, a group of small creatures that it could barely look at were staring at it. It's like an old saying, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and Lu Yu and his team members are also ready, just waiting for the steel teeth to start doing the same after the predation attack.

Time passed minute by minute, and it didn't make Lu Yu and them wait too long, and in less than ten minutes, those herbivore creatures gradually came to the range of steel teeth. But at this moment, an accident happened, and one of the herbivores suddenly stopped, and its head was raised to look around, and soon it looked in the direction of the place where the steel teeth were ambushing.

The steel tooth was discovered, and when the herbivore creature recognized that there was danger in that direction, it whined, and then turned and fled, leading the way, and the remaining two ran without hesitation. Now the steel teeth are in a hurry, and they are about to enter his prey range, why did they run away? What do you eat if you run away? Where can Steel Tooth continue to lurk at this time? I've found a lurking fart, so let's chase it directly.

With a roar, Steel Fang rushed out of the woods and chased in the direction of the fleeing herbivore at lightning speed, at first the acceleration of Steel Fang was obviously faster than that of the herbivore, but after only a few seconds, the speed of the herbivore gradually increased, and the gap between the two became smaller and smaller.

"Chase!" Lu Yu didn't expect the herbivore creatures to be so alert and found the steel teeth first, and now that the steel teeth are chasing the herbivore creatures, of course they must also catch up. With a command, Lu Yu's team launched a pursuit of Steel Fang, with three herbivores in the front, Steel Fang in the middle, and Lu Yu's team at the end. As they chased farther and farther away, the herbivores fled faster and faster, and the distance between the steel teeth and them began to drift apart as the herbivores pulled up at their speeds.

After chasing more than ten kilometers in one go, Steel Tooth found that its food dream had been shattered, and felt that Steel Tooth, which could not catch up, stopped, and still roared a few times unwillingly in the direction of the herbivore's escape.

After a few roars, Steel Tooth suddenly turned around, at this time Lu Yu's team also chased close to Steel Tooth, and before Lu Yu and they could start the formation, they found that the steel teeth of these "little guys" behind them were obviously angry, it seemed to think that the reason for their food was gone, and these little guys who looked much weaker actually dared to chase it behind, which was simply intolerable.

With an angry roar, Steel Tooth rushed towards Lu Yu's team without saying a word, Lu Yu only had time to shout and disperse, and hurriedly jumped to the side, thanks to his quick reaction, a gust of fishy wind swept past him, and he was almost pounced. (To be continued.) )
