"Oh...... Got all my heads smashed......"

Next to the glassy sands of the sea of acidic liquids, little Anne was standing beside the headless monster with her head bowed.

Curiously, she gently tugged at the monster with her foot, which still had red blood and pale green disgusting bodily fluids, but unfortunately, its head, which had just been smashed by her shot, turned into a pile of rotten.

Now, even if you want to take a closer look at what it looks like, there's no way to do it.

Just now, it was this monster that crept ashore from the sea, and Anne's little bear Tibbs told her: This monster, it is very hostile! Therefore, little Annie didn't think about it at the time, and directly rushed at its disgusting head with a 20mm caliber electromagnetic sniper bullet!

The power of this 20mm caliber, Flame Goddess I SS-01 specially made super powerful electromagnetic sniper rifle is really impressive!

Just now, she deliberately didn't install that troublesome silencer, so when she fired, that kind of shocking sound sounded powerful!

Then, with one shot, the monster's ugly head instantly turned into a cracked watermelon, and there was disgusting red-green blood flowing all over the ground, or rather: a mixture of cerebral plasma blood is more suitable?

Little Anne didn't really care too much about whether the things splashing on the beach were brains, blood, or bodily fluids.

Anyway, all she knew was that it had been killed by herself!

Moreover, he has already proved to Galen that when she just jumped off the armored transport ship, she was indeed not dazzled, and there was no prank, what she saw at the time seemed to be such a thing?

This...... Probably that's what she saw before, right?

Click!

Behind him, under the sound of electromagnetic rifle bullets being loaded and warmed up, a Marine wearing a power armor suit with red paint No. 01 on his chest began to cautiously walk up to Anne's side, and kept pointing his gun at the alien monster lying on the ground motionless.

"Annie, what kind of monster is this?"

After being on guard for a while, seeing that the monster was motionless and should have been completely dead, Galen breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

Call!

Just when little Annie was about to turn the monster over to see the strangeness, Galen finally had time to take a big breath, and tried to adjust his breathing, slowly recovering his strength.

Although the members of the Power Armor Combat Suit do not feel any weight inside, when they Marines run, they still have to consume their physical strength, just like the Marines usually run without armor, or do they feel a little more strained?

In addition, the gravity of this planet is slightly higher than the simulated gravity environment of the Earth on the Hope by 0.3 Earth standard gravity.

"I don't know, anyway, it just crawled out of the sea, this should be considered a fish, right?"

When Anne was about to reach over and grab the other person's body and turn it over to check it, she didn't know if she sensed something, her hand stiffened, and when she was about to touch the other person's body, she quickly retracted it.

She began to frown, looking at the disgusting red-green blood flowing from the other party's body, this thing, it doesn't seem to be a good thing?

Therefore, she did not want her beautiful ghost armor to be damaged by the blood on its body.

"Haha! Little Annie, you're really joking! Where does this thing look like a fish? This should be a little more like a praying mantis, right? Or, so to speak: alien sea shrimp? ”

Galen didn't think much of it, and when he saw that Anne didn't seem to want to make a move, he stepped forward and grabbed one of the other man's hideous forelimbs, intending to flip it over to see what was going on.

As soon as I started, Galen felt quite heavy, this is really a big guy! That weight shouldn't be much lighter than yourself in power armor, right?

Tut! Do all the sea shrimp on alien planets grow so big?

Seem...... It still has two pairs of wings that are not completely degraded? Galen wondered a little, do sea creatures need wings too? Or is it a primitive creature? Not fully evolved?

"Hey! Don't mess around! Otherwise, your armor will break! ”

When Anne saw Galen's big man's movements, she quickly reminded him.

Just now, there was actually a reason why she was reluctant to touch the body of this monster.

Because she found that the blood of this monster seems to have some kind of similarity with the sea of acid next to it, and it is strongly corrosive?

If you rashly wipe it up, it will end up like this Galen big guy!

"Ahh It, its blood, is also very corrosive? Damn it! It's corroded all my hand armor! ”

When Galen heard the red signal of his hand in the panel and heard the alarm, he quickly threw away the alien monster's forelimbs.

Fortunately, the other party's part was not stained with too much blood, it only corroded a layer of Galen's hand armor, and did not damage his palm armor to important parts, otherwise, he would have to retreat first to repair it?

"Hey! Galen big guy, didn't I just tell you not to touch it? Look, the armor is going to break! ”

After seeing the fate of Galen's rash touch, little Anne quickly laughed and took a few steps back, a little away from the monster.

Since this monster is completely dead, and the liquid on its body has a strong corrosive effect like the ocean over there, even the metal armor can erode it, then Anne does not plan to toss it anymore.

If you accidentally break your beautiful armor, it won't look good! Moreover, it may also affect optical stealth and other effects.

"Captain Galen? What the hell is going on over there? What kind of alien monster is that? ”

When Galen finally used the dry alien sand around him to remove the corrosive monster liquid stuck to his hand armor, the communicator began to hear the slightly hurried voice of Commander Doug of the base command center.

Just now, after discovering that little Anne had shot and hearing Captain Galen of the Cobra Squad report that there was a situation, she was really nervous for a while!

After ordering everyone to be on alert and arranging a series of defensive measures, she was now free to ask about what had happened.

"Uh...... Well, you'd better see for yourself, I don't know too well. ”

After saying that, Galen turned on the scanning and observation equipment on his armored power suit, and conducted a preliminary photograph and scan of the monster on the ground that was still bleeding red-green disgusting liquid.

"It's this monster, it seems to be one with the environment, it doesn't find any body temperature, it should be a cold-blooded animal? Or is it the indigenous prawns that live in this ocean? ”

"Moreover, I also found out just now: its shell does not seem to be afraid of strong acid corrosion, and even its body fluids are still strongly corrosive.

Galen scanned and uploaded the data, then gave a little insight of his own.

He was a little worried now, wondering if this monster had a virus that was deadly to humans, or something contagious? Anyway, whether there is or not, after the construction of the barracks, it is necessary for him to carry out a comprehensive disinfection.

"As for the rest, you'd better see for yourself."

After uploading the video and data, Galen stopped his explanation.

He's just a Marine Corps leader, and he's not a biological scientist, so where else does he know more about the native creatures of this alien planet?

“……”

Galen glanced at his communications equipment, and he saw that when he finished transmitting the data, Commander Doug in the command center didn't say anything, just crossed his arms and frowned at the 3D hologram that was scanned and transmitted back.

"First mate Doug? Your Excellency, Commander? Excuse me, what should we do now? Need to tow it back? ”

After waiting for a while, Galen, who was a little impatient, finally asked.

Anyway, in his opinion, he is killed by the fight now, and it is too late to say anything. Little Annie's previous response was a little more intense, but it can't be said to be all wrong.

So, it's not a matter of throwing this thing here, should you drag it back and study it slowly, the commander should always give a letter, right?

"You managed to drag its body to Area C, and then, order all the Marines to reduce their vigilance and keep an eye on the surrounding movements, especially the direction of the ocean!"

On this planet, there are still indigenous marine creatures? And, living in a sea of highly acidic liquids?

Do all of these creatures? What a strange Creator......

Commander Doug thinks that the planet they landed on this time is probably going to be in trouble? Sure enough, Captain Leona's worries at the beginning were probably not unfounded, and in this star field, I am afraid it will not be too simple!

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! I'm going to try to drag it back now! ”

After hearing the order, Galen cautiously walked over to the monster and looked around.

Then, he planned to grab the other party's stubby tail with bone spurs that had not been splashed with blood, and drag it directly to the relatively empty Area C of the base, so as to wait for the Hope to send more professional personnel down for deeper analysis and sampling inspection.

Area C is the area where the third phase of their ground base is scheduled to be built, and it is a relatively flat small plain area that should not be used for a long time.

Because, it was originally intended to be used to build a research institute and a large starport, but now, they have just begun to land and build a barracks, and they are too far from a large research institute or an airport or something!

"Annie? Annie?! Are you listening? Hear it, please answer! ”

After giving the order to the captain of the Marine Corps, Commander Doug found little Annie, who was watching Galen grab the monster's tail and drag him away.

"Huh? I'm listening, what's the matter? Big Sister Doug? ”

Shouldering her large-caliber sniper rifle, little Anne was casually answering in the communication as she walked back with Galen's bulky man.

This kind of alien monster doesn't seem like much......

It's been so long since they've been here that they've found such a pitiful one, so she can only shoot once, which is not fun!

It would be fun if there were hundreds or thousands of them at once, and Anne was sure that with the tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition she had stuffed into her pocket, she would be able to kill them all by herself!

"Anne, you're on a heavy mission! I need you to get back to the highest vantage point and put the surrounding area on full alert! ”

Just now, little Anne has proved her worth with her actions.

Without the Marines noticing, she was the first to spot and kill an alien monster that had sneaked ashore? So, Commander Doug was going to keep the little girl on her toes, a little harder, at least, until the Hope's reinforcements arrived.

"Well, I already know."

Do you hear that? Tibbs, your next task is heavy, keep an eye on your surroundings!

After answering the call of Aunt Doug, little Anne hurriedly explained to her little bear Tiebs in private.

She wouldn't bother to guard herself, how boring would that be?

So, she decided, for a while, after she ran to the top of the mountain, she would continue to lie there and sleep for a while, as for vigilance or something, just let her little bear help keep an eye on it, her little bear is the most powerful!

（…… ）

Hey? You're okay with that, are you? Tibbs?

(Master, whatever you say is what it is, the little one will never dare to have any opinion...... - where does Tibbs dare to have an opinion?) It said it was used to this kind of thing. ）

Ding-dong, ding-dong-ding-ding.......

“……”

Less than two hours after Captain Leona had fallen asleep, she was suddenly woken up by the sound of brisk music playing.

Then, when she opened her eyes, a virtual holographic female figure began to appear at the head of her bed, an intellectual woman with glasses, and the other party looked at her expressionlessly.

Leona knew that this was actually one of the settings of Hope's Brain Dawn.

looked at an electronic alarm clock at the head of the bed, and the time displayed on the line indicated that she had just slept for less than two hours?

It's coming to wake itself up at this time, isn't it...... What is happening?

This subconscious thought made her heart suddenly chuckle, and she instantly fell asleep and began to become nervous.

"Your Excellency, have you finally woken up? I'm sorry to disturb your sleep at this time, because now I've received an update from the ground base that something big is happening. This incident is the first priority you have explained. ”

After seeing Captain Leona open her eyes and sit up from the bed, the soft quilt slipping from the other party's healthy and energetic plump body, Zhinao Shuguang hurriedly stepped forward and spoke.

"I'll go wash up first, and now you can move on."

Whether things are good or bad, Leona decides: go to the bathroom to take a cold shower and take a shower to get to her senses as soon as possible.

She felt that only a sober brain could allow her to make accurate judgments about what would happen next.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Captain!"

When Leona walked to the luxurious bathroom dedicated to the captain's convenience, the hologram of the Dawning Brain also walked in.

It just stood beside the captain, and it didn't shy away from watching the captain remove his clothes, walk under a shower, and turn on the cold water switch.

"The Hope has just received the latest news from Ground Commander Doug First Officer: an alien creature has appeared on a beach around the ground base, and it was discovered by Ghost Agent Anne and killed immediately. So far, there have been no casualties in the colony base on the ground, and no more such alien creatures have been found. ”

Dawn of the Brain was still standing beside Captain Leona with a grin.

If it weren't for the fact that it's an intelligent computer, and the other party is still a woman, I'm afraid Captain Leona would be going crazy, right?

Hearing Dawn's report, Leona frowned imperceptibly, letting the cold water from the shower drench her long golden red hair and Miaoman's body.

“……”

Extraterrestrial creatures?

Sure enough, she had already sensed that there must be something wrong with the planet below! Her sense of danger is not groundless!

Thinking about the wreckage of the alien battleship in the distance, this made her unconsciously feel a chill from the back of her heart and rushed straight to her head, and then, she had to change the cold water to warm water, and the warmth of her body slightly diluted some of her psychological chill.

"Show me the images of alien creatures!"

After wiping the water from her face, Captain Leona gave the order to Zhina.

Since little Anne has already killed alien creatures, she can't say anything. Now, she wants to see first, what does this alien creature look like? Then, she could move on.

"Okay, Captain, please take a look."

Soon, in the next instant, a holographic image of a killed headless alien monster appeared in the captain's bathroom.

Its hideous and terrifying appearance was in stark contrast to Captain Leona's fair-skinned and slender figure.

"Dawn, can you restore its specific appearance?"

With such a headless monster, how could she possibly see something?

This dawning brain is really, at least, it should also release the whole picture of the other party, what's the use of putting such a headless body?

"Of course, Your Excellency! Now, this is its full form! At that time, the satellite had already captured it for the first time. ”

Soon, after Leona gave the order, a terrifying monster with a hideous head, a sharp mouth full of fangs, hideous and powerful limbs, two huge scythe-like forelimbs, and a long tail like bone spurs, appeared in the bathroom, and the captain couldn't help but sneer.

A monster of this shape, obviously, it's a kind of predator, right?

It seems that there was nothing wrong with Little Annie's impromptu disposal at that time, this thing, since it sneaked ashore, must have bad intentions!

If Captain Leona had known that little Knight Anne would shoot at the first place just because she was bored and found something to fight, then she would not have thought so.

"What are the specific characteristics of this creature? Is there a preliminary judgment? ”

After turning off the shower head, the captain grabbed a towel and began to wipe the water from his face and his long wet hair.

"According to all the information so far, we can only roughly draw the following analysis: this is a cold-blooded predatory alien creature, living in an acidic ocean, the body shell has a strong resistance to corrosion and blows, the body fluids and blood are red and pale green, and extremely corrosive, their body temperature seems to be able to adjust with the environment, and there is no too obvious infrared signal. Therefore, it has not been detected by satellites before, and the specific number is not known for the time being, and it can only be detected further after a few days later, when military satellites are equipped with life detection instruments for this creature. ”

Aurora quickly gave the only biologist on board the Hope and its own judgment, and in general, it was relatively reliable.

“……”

"Now, how is the training of the recruits on the Hope?"

After wiping her hair for a while, Captain Leona threw away the towel and walked straight out of the bathroom, taking out a captain's costume from the closet and asking her most concerns.

"A thousand new recruits, already in intense training! Although they have learned to skillfully use armored power combat suits and various weapons through simulated confrontation equipment, you can't expect them to be too combative, Your Excellency, Captain. They're just a bunch of recruits who have been training for less than five days, and I suggest you don't rush too much, they need more time to train! ”

Of course, Dawn of the Brain could tell what Captain Leona wanted to do when he asked this, so while reporting, it also said its own suggestions, which was also one of its duties.

"Dawn, I have a gut feeling: we don't have much time now! So, let them pick the best two hundred out of the thousand, and at the same time inform Darius's Viper team that they will lead those recruits and be ready for landing at any time! ”

After getting dressed, Captain Leona tied it up, ignoring her long hair, which was still a little damp.

Then, she picked up her captain's cap and tucked it into the crook of her arm, opened the automatic door to the captain's lounge, and walked out briskly in the direction of the bridge.

Now, she needed to go to the bridge and keep an eye on it.

She didn't feel comfortable just having a second officer on combat duty there, especially now that the ground base was ready for something big to happen.
