Volume I. The Wandering Race Chapter 0026.Aborigines
At the same time that Francis introduced the role of these prismatic crystals to Wu Xunxing, something happened on planet W424 that caused heavy losses to the landers.
The vast blue grassland is swaying in the breeze, looking like a blue ocean with waves from mid-air, and somewhere in the ocean, Chen Ruihe and his people are collecting various specimens.
"Ruihe! The basic data of this place has been basically collected, how long will it take for the login warehouse to be repaired? Xu Xing walked over with two blue plants that had just been transplanted into the incubator.
Chen Ruihe set up a temporary camp next to the landing module, and now he is sorting out the information transmitted by the other two crew members, who are trying to explore the aurora as much as possible, and the seven-colored light curtain that seems to cut off the heavens and the earth is really concerning.
"There are probably two more standard hours left on board." Chen Ruihe answered his wife's question while looking at the light curtain in the camp that was used to receive video messages with a solemn face.
"Come over and take a look, there seems to be an accident on Tian Soyu's side."
When Xu Xing heard this, he immediately put down the incubator that was about to be fine-tuned, and ran to the monitoring light curtain in the center of the temporary camp, where Tian Soyu's third-view invisible recorder was transmitting his every move back.
The four of them would take this recorder with them when they were out to work, so that they could easily explore the situation around them.
The third-view recorder is one of the exploration-type equipment on the telecon ship, which is widely used, and will be suspended a few meters above the head of the binder after being turned on, this position can be adjusted, and at the same time, it is small in size, has a certain camouflage ability, automatically follows the binder to move, and when entering a space without a light source, it can also release light for lighting as needed.
On the light curtain, with Tasoyu as the center, several humanoid creatures slowly surrounded by them, wearing light leather protective gear, and holding a dagger with cold light in their hands.
As the suspected indigenous creatures approached, the third-view recorder seemed to be disturbed, and the images transmitted back gradually blurred, but Xu Xing and Chen Ruihe could clearly see two humanoid creatures standing on the periphery of the encirclement with strange ears, similar to the ears of rabbits bred in some production ships.
"Hiroshi Tasoka! Can you hear me? Xu Xing hesitated for a moment and clicked on the chat channel of the landing team and asked.
"Yes!" Tasoyu's voice immediately responded, he lay down in the dense blue plants, vigilant of the movements around him, and tried to lower his throat as much as possible when he replied, so that his voice became a little inaudible: "I found from the life detector that there are seven creatures surrounding me, and they are approaching me. ”
"We also observed from the footage transmitted back from the third-view recorder that the people surrounding you are humanoids, which should be the aborigines of this planet, judging from the equipment on their bodies, they are about to be in the era of cold weapons...... "Xu Xing told Tian Soyu the information he could analyze so much, and the current situation is not too bad.
After listening to Xu Xing's words, Tian Suoyu relaxed a little, since it was a cold weapon, it was probably not able to penetrate his fiber glass armor.
"Is that going to be the first to get in touch with them?" Without the danger of his life, Tian Suoyu couldn't help but think that this was the first contact between the two civilizations, and he couldn't help but make a small calculation in his heart, could it be that this historic moment was going to be handed over to himself?
"Run! Turn on the high-speed mode of the glass armor and run! Xu Xing's frightened shout suddenly came from the communicator, startling Tian Soyu, who was thinking wildly.
After a short stunned moment, out of trust in his companions, Tian Soyu immediately turned on the high-speed mode of the fiber glass armor on his body, and a huge thrust came from his feet, and he jumped up with the momentum, jumping up five or six meters in the air, at this time he found that the place where he had just hid had been cut a two-meter-long and half-meter-wide crack on the ground by a dagger of an aborigine, and vaguely he even saw a cyan half-moon-shaped light.
What kind of cold weapon is this?!
Tian Soyu's heart was beating wildly, and a strong desire to survive burst out from the bottom of his heart, if this was to slash at him, let alone fiber glass armor, even ordinary armed mecha would have to be cut open!
Looking at Tian Suoyu, who had escaped, Xu Xing was also a little relieved, but when she thought of the picture just now, her heart couldn't help beating wildly!
Fifty meters after a leather-armored native, one of the rabbit-eared natives took out a wooden staff with a heavy head and a sharp tail from his back, and stood the wooden staff in front of him, his hands open, and his mouth was silently chanting, and the wooden staff floated slowly, and at the same time, a circular pattern appeared out of thin air so unscientifically, emitting a faint green light, and after a few seconds, the light suddenly shot towards the leather-armored aboriginal closest to Tasoyu, and the speed of the natives who were wrapped in the light increased dramatically, The dagger also condensed a gas so thick that it almost became a substance, and it was at this moment that Xu Xing subconsciously asked Tian Suoyu to run quickly.
Tasoko Yu, who escaped in a thrilling way, ran quickly in the direction of the landing capsule, while adjusting the perspective of the recorder to behind him, so that the picture was transmitted to his fiber armor, and said with a little panting: "They didn't catch up, did they?" ”
"Not yet, I'm informing Charleen to come back, and the landing module has about two hours to complete repairs. Don't go back to the landing module just yet, to prevent them from tracking you, run in other directions, the energy on the fiber glass armor is enough for you to move at high speed until we fix the landing module! I'll set the approximate return route for you, so that as soon as you get back, we'll be able to activate the landing module and put it back on the Hongyun. Xu Xing quickly sent the designed escape direction to Tian Soyu's personal terminal, and then checked Charleen's third-view recorder, and saw the moment the picture appeared in the light curtain, she couldn't help but sink.
“...... Rui River, Charleen is caught. ”
In the light curtain, Charleen was tied up and thrown to the ground, the glass armor on her body was violently disassembled aside, and the personal terminal on her wrist was also stripped off, no wonder there was no contact here.
There were two other women who were also tied up next to Charleen, the three of them were sitting back to back, and a cold middle-aged man was guarding them, the caretaker had a gray tail half a meter long behind him, and behind him, there was such a caretaker and three captives a few meters away, and at a cursory glance, there were about a hundred tied people.
Xu Xing looked at her husband worriedly and asked, "What should I do?" ”
Chen Ruihe frowned, staring at the guards guarding the captives in the picture...... Liang Jiu sighed and shook his head:
"You have also seen what happened to Tian Soyu just now, with our current armed forces, we are not capable of saving people. Although there is a battle mecha on the Hongyun ship, only Charleen has the ability to pilot, and our information link with the Hongyun ship is intermittent, and it is unknown how long it will take for communication to be restored next time. ”
"This planet is a bit weird, we didn't detect anything that hindered communication at all, but the communication with the Hongyun ship ...... intermittently" Xu Xing's face was a little ugly: "Moreover, when the rabbit-eared man made that weird pattern just now, he obviously detected the fluctuation of magic energy." ”
"The civilization on this planet may be different from the energy system of our galactic civilization, and it is very likely that there are elements that we cannot detect that affect the information link." Chen Ruihe switched the screen to the scene when the rabbit-eared people gave their teammates an ability increase, "This video must be uploaded as the first sequence, so that the flagship knows that the aborigines of this planet have a special energy system, and I am afraid that they have mastered the use of magic energy." ”
Xu Xing nodded, saved the file and put it into the transmission sequence, as long as the communication with the Hongyun ship resumed, the information stored here would be uploaded as soon as possible.
Putting Charleen's capture aside for the time being, the most important thing now is to repair the power system of the landing module, otherwise even the Hongyun ship will not be able to go back, and the longer you stay in this blue grassland, the greater the chance of being discovered by the aborigines.
An hour passed......
Little by little, the progress of the repair was approaching 100 percent, and Tasoyu's communication suddenly intervened.
"Huhu...... Captain Chen, a rabbit-eared man who was following me just now seems to have discovered something, and he didn't continue to chase me, as if he was passing in your direction! ...... "Tian Suoyu reported the situation a little panting, running at a high speed for more than an hour, even with the assistance of fiber glass armor, his physical strength was a little unable to keep up.
Another bad news, Chen Ruihe's mind was a little confused, he glanced at his wife beside him, he cheered up, and gave instructions to Tian Suoyu: "The previous plan is invalid, you now adapt to escape from the other party's pursuit, we will set the landing warehouse to camouflage mode, and at the same time, Xu Xing and I will attract the rabbit-eared people who are coming towards us to stay away from the landing warehouse." ”
"Understood!" Tian Soyu nodded, a bead of sweat slid down his forehead, "I suspect that the other party has the ability to track our communications, so I won't contact you until it's safe to do so." ”
Chen Ruihe thought for a while and thought that there was such a possibility, so he nodded and said, "Understood...... Good luck! ”
"Hehe, if we get caught, we don't necessarily die, we look similar to them, maybe they think we're suspicious." Tasoko was very optimistic, and then turned off the communication completely.
Looking at the light curtain showing that the other party had disconnected the communication link, Chen Ruihe gritted his teeth and began to implement his plan.
"Ruihe, can't we hide in the landing bay and turn on camouflage mode?" Xu Xing took her fiber glass armor generator out of the storage space of her personal terminal and asked her husband, who was turning on the camouflage system.
"We don't know how this aboriginal found us, maybe it's the life fluctuations of the two of us, maybe it's the energy reaction of the landing warehouse, if we are separated from the landing warehouse, and he chases us, then the landing warehouse can guarantee safety, if we are still close to the landing warehouse, we can be safe for the time being, otherwise we will be wiped out, and that will be the worst."
"Also, the only way we can rely on returning to Hongyun now is the landing warehouse, without the communication focus of the landing warehouse, our personal terminals can hardly contact Hongyun on this planet." Xu Xing had a bitter face, and said a little angrily: "Obviously, you can go back in another hour, can't these aborigines come later?" ”
Chen Ruihe smiled bitterly and put on the fiber glass armor: "My dad often says that it is a blessing or a curse, but a disaster cannot be avoided, for the sake of our son, try your best to live." ”
Leaving the landing capsule and looking at the gray cylinder that was gradually fading, the two glanced at each other, activated the acceleration mode of the fiber glass armor, and chose a direction opposite to where Charlin and Tasoyu were to escape......
