Chapter 438: Discernment
The bloody scene silenced the headquarters, but less than a second later, several young ladies screamed.
With the development of technology, face-to-face combat has become less and less, and the long-range and offensive capabilities of weapons brought about by advanced technology are no longer comparable to those of hundreds of years ago. The scenes of swords and flesh flying everywhere in the past are almost gone, except for the Marines who can still see the shadow of this kind of battle when they are on some special missions, but it is not as terrible as the scene seen now.
Not only those female officers, but even the male officers all had extremely ugly faces, and even a few of them ran out on the spot with their mouths covered, and Major General George, as the supreme commander, did not look good, but it was much better than that of ordinary officers.
Gao Jian is one of the calmest and most insipid people among everyone, after all, he is a member of the war, before the first war between the Earth civilization and the Gaia civilization, Gao Jian often went on missions as an intelligence officer, and he has long been accustomed to seeing countless bloodshed. And in that distant defense battle, Gao Jian was even more involved, in that war, billions of people on the earth died, and the cruelty was even more unbearable than the scene seen now.
At the moment when Gao Jian issued his last warning, he hoped that these team members could dodge, but unfortunately his wish did not come true, and in just a moment, all the team members, including the captain, were killed. This scene made Gao Jian's heart uncomfortable, but he quickly recovered, and he immediately took over the moment when the officer operating the unmanned shuttle was distracted, and at the same time stared intently at the person on the projection.
With a wave of his hand, the man killed the entire team as if what he had done was just a trivial matter that he didn't care about. Just like people walking in the forest and casually trampling an ant on the ground, who would be moved by the dead ant?
The man was still standing where he was. His calm face did not fluctuate, and he glanced at the scattered corpses, then raised his head slightly to look at the sky.
Hovering in the air at the scene is an unmanned shuttle, the height of the unmanned shuttle from the ground is 1,200 meters, its volume is not large, only not much larger than the size of an adult. At such an altitude, it is impossible to see it at all if you look at it from the ground. But when the man looked up at the sky, Gao Jian immediately felt that this person's gaze was coming towards their unmanned shuttle, and Gao Jian immediately manipulated the unmanned shuttle to soar upwards into the sky without thinking about it.
But as soon as he made this action, the unmanned shuttle shook lightly in the air and began to rise rapidly silently. According to its lift-off speed, it only takes more than ten seconds to rise to an altitude of 3,000 meters, but who would have thought that this lift-off action had just reacted not long ago, and when it had not even reached a height of more than 100 meters, the person on the ground raised his hand and pointed towards the position where the unmanned shuttle was located. Then the picture went dark, and nothing could be seen.
When the unmanned shuttle was finished, Gao Jian sighed secretly and let go of the joystick in his hand. As for how the unmanned shuttle was destroyed by that person, Gao Jian didn't know yet.
"Mr. Gao, what now?" Major General George came to Gao Jian's side with a pale face, with a tremor in his voice, as a soldier, he was not afraid of the enemy, but the scene he had witnessed just now had far exceeded his imagination, and he couldn't understand how there could be such a terrible person in this world.
"How long will it take for the other two squads to get back to the colony?" Gao Jian did not answer his question. Instead, he asked the communications officer, who was still stunned.
Only then did the communications officer realize that the matter was not over, because there were still two squads that had not yet returned. They endured the strong reaction of the bloody scene just now and got busy, and quickly repaid Gao Jian.
The closest team is about to enter the defensive circle, which means that at least this team is basically out of danger, but the other team is the farthest, and it will take some time to return to the colony at their current speed. It is unknown whether they will run into that person during this time like the team that was wiped out just now, but it's okay. Judging from the coordinates where they were, they were not in the same direction as the man, which made everyone in the headquarters feel a little reassured.
For the rest of the day, everyone kept an eye on the situation, and it wasn't long before they were concerned. The information that the nearest team had arrived safely was transmitted back, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, while the other team was still rushing to the colonial area, at this time, every minute and every second became longer than usual, in order to ensure their safety, Gao Jian directly transferred the unmanned shuttle that had returned to the team, and alternately reconnoitred with the unmanned shuttle that followed the team.
Whether this is useful or not, in fact, Gao Jian's heart is not clear. Because when the team that had all the dead encountered that strange person, neither the team members nor the unmanned shuttle in the sky reacted in advance, and until now they have not clarified how this person appeared at the scene.
But Gao Jian still has to do this, as long as he has the slightest opportunity, he must do his best. At present, this is only what he can do, although the structural particularity of the colonial area has a strong defensive capability, but the means of ground attack are not very sufficient. Judging from the offensive strength and equipment of the ground forces in the current colonial area, compared to the incredible methods of that man, Gao Jian did not dare to take this risk, once it caused more casualties, this was the result he did not want to see.
Gao Jian's plan was very simple, first to defend and withdraw all the peripheral personnel to the colonial area to ensure the safety of the personnel. Then, after the cruise fleet in space rushes back, it will rely on the power of the cruise fleet to search the entire planet, and if necessary, it can directly solve the problem with the armament of warships. Gao Jian didn't believe it, no matter how strong a single person's strength was, could he still compete with a powerful warship? You must know that with the current power of the battleship's armament, let alone destroying a person, it is not difficult to directly destroy the double-ring planet.
The two unmanned shuttles converged to give an aerial warning to the last team, and the leader of this team also learned from the headquarters that the other team had been killed in an attack. This fact made the team members no longer as dismissive as they were when the former command warned them, after all, everyone only has one life, and once life is lost, then everything is over. All personnel were heavily armed and marched in a loose formation towards the colonial area. As the captain of the sharp knife team, he is even more engrossed in preparing for the unexpected.
Thankfully, the worst didn't happen, and the man was nowhere to be seen until the team reached the colony's defenses safely, and everyone in the headquarters was relieved to see them return. It was only then that Major General George realized that his back was soaking wet.
Now, all the people who are out there have returned, and the entire colony has entered a state of maximum defense, and theoretically once this level of alert is deployed, not even a fly can fly in. Of course, there are no such creatures as flies on the Twin Ring Planet, but even with such vigilance, Gao Jian's heart is still a little uneasy, and he doesn't know if he can prevent that person. But that's all he can do now.
Leaving the defense of the colonial zone in the hands of Major General George, Gao Jian left the headquarters. Of course, he wasn't going to rest at this time, although he hadn't closed his eyes for more than twenty hours, but at this time he had to figure out how the man was attacking the team.
The situation of Lu Yu's team at that time was already grasped by Gao Jian through Lu Yu's statement, but the situation of the second team killed was different from Lu Yu's team, judging from the corpses left at the scene, the situation of the second team should be the same as that of the third team. Although he did not have the records of the second team at that time, the information records of the third team had been transmitted to the brain terminal at that time. Maybe these things can answer the doubts in Gao Jian's heart.
Come to a building, which is the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Colonial District. Gao Jian had summoned several experts in the colonial area through correspondence before he came, and he hoped to rely on these experts and the analysis of Zhizhi to find out everything he wanted to know.
When he entered the conference room, several experts were already waiting, and the news of the death of the team outside had already spread within the colonial area, of course, the only people who knew about it were soldiers and scientists with relatively high ranks, or members of the team involved. But over time. The blockade of the entire colonial area will inevitably cause the reverie of ordinary people, and it is impossible to completely conceal this matter, all Gao Jian needs now is to buy time, as long as the cruise fleet rushes back, relying on the strength of the cruise fleet warships. By then, he would no longer be helpless.
"You should know the situation, right?" As soon as he entered the conference room, Gao Jian asked bluntly.
The faces of the experts were not very good, and they nodded silently. Then Gao Jian told them what they needed to do, and what he had to know, and after clearly expressing his requirements, Gao Jian clapped his hands and said: "Everyone, among you there are earthlings like me, and there are also Blue Star people, but no matter what kind of civilization, everyone on this planet is a whole!" It's a matter of working together, and I don't want to have prejudices between them, but in short, knowing the opponent and understanding the opponent's ability is the only way to find the opponent's weaknesses and solve the problem. ”
After finishing speaking, Gao Jian bowed deeply to these experts, and the experts silently exchanged glances, and then didn't say anything, and stood up and walked directly towards the laboratory outside.
The work of the experts began, Gao Jian knew that this work would not be completed soon, he was a little tired, he temporarily found a sleeping cabin in the side room and slept for a while, and after more than two hours, Gao Jian woke up from the sleeping cabin on time, feeling much better.
Returning to the conference room and inquiring about the staff arranged here, Gao Jian learned that the experts were still working and had not made much progress for the time being. Gao Jian was not in a hurry, asked for a cup of coffee, and then contacted Major General George at the headquarters through the terminal to inquire about the situation in the Lower Colonial Area.
Major General George reported to Gao Jian that the situation in the colonial area was not bad, there was no alarm information on the cordon, in order to ensure the overall defense, Major General George also sent several unmanned shuttles to search the periphery of the colonial area, but everything was normal since Gao Jian left the headquarters, and the mysterious person never appeared, and he didn't seem to know where he went.
Gao Jian's heart breathed a sigh of relief, it was a good thing for them that the person didn't show up, at least this situation gave them more time and room to maneuver. Asking Rear Admiral George not to let his guard down, Gao Jian ended the communication, he sat quietly and picked up his coffee and took a sip while calculating the time it would take for the cruising fleet to reach the double-ringed planet while waiting for the results of the experts.
Finally, when another three hours had passed, a staff member came to report in a hurry, and he told Gao Jian that an expert had just made a discovery.
"Professor Raul, what did you find?" Gao Jian hurriedly stood up and quickly rushed to Professor Raul's lab, where Professor Raul was discussing something with another expert.
"Mr. Gao, you came just in time, I did find something here, come and see!" Seeing Gao Jian, Professor Raul quickly stopped discussing with his colleagues, he walked to an empty space in the laboratory, stretched out his hand towards an instrument, and a three-dimensional scene appeared in front of them.
This scene is different from ordinary three-dimensional projections, and the content of the scene above is not a clear picture, but composed of one line after another, and clusters of bright spots with different light and darkness. Professor Raul introduced to Gao Jian that this is a three-dimensional display of energy conversion, and its source is the information about the accident of the third team provided by Gao Jian, and he obtained such a scene after converting this information through his brain.
The scene is not in motion, but fixed, and of course Professor Raul told Gao Jian that this was specifically to allow him to see the changes in the whole process. Gao Jian's gaze looked at the three-dimensional scene, and he was reminded by Professor Raul to distinguish the area of the team members, and the area where the man was.
"Mr. Gao, you see, these two areas are very different." Raul pointed to the two places and said, Gao Jian carefully compared, but did not see any difference, in his eyes were all lines and chaotic light and dark points.
It wasn't until Raul took the laser pointer to deliberately circle the differences that Gao Jian understood a little, although the appearance of the two areas was not much different, but in the area where the person was located, the lines and light clusters looked more stable, and the difference from the outside world around him was not as obvious as the area where the team members were located.
"What does that mean?" Although Gao Jian could see it, he still didn't understand.
"Don't worry, please take a look below." Professor Raul said, pressing the button at the same time ....... (To be continued.) )
