Today is the first day that humanity, exiled by UPL, the United Earth government, has officially landed on Planet JNO.3......

Captain Leona of the USS Hope is on the bridge of the space colony ship, constantly watching the planet's various landforms, mineral distribution, climate change, and other information through dozens of improvised civilian and communication satellites launched.

So far, they have basically mastered all the geomorphological information and surface mine distribution of the entire JNO.3 planet, whether it is the basic metal minerals and rare minerals, or those rarer high-energy crystals and high-energy gas, they have now obtained all the important information they need through the satellite.

Of course, this information is only a map of the distribution of minerals in the shallow layers of the planet, and as for the minerals that are deeper or distributed in the strong acid ocean, they have no effective way to detect them for the time being.

This matter needs to wait for a while, when the production and commissioning of the military satellite of Hope is completed, and they can obtain deeper planetary information.

This kind of thing is definitely not rushed, it needs to be done step by step.

It's just that the more and more comprehensive information the satellite feeds back, the more Captain Leona's brows are furrowed, she can't imagine at all, why is there no alien force to discover and develop a planet like this rich in energy?

This phenomenon made her subconsciously feel very abnormal!

Thinking about the wreckage of the huge alien warship floating in distant orbit in this star universe that she calculated and detected before, Captain Leona felt that it seemed necessary for her to sort out the context of this matter again?

They discovered that there was a planet rich in minerals......

Then, in the distant star field, there is an alien warship that has been destroyed for an unknown number of years......

In addition, a strange little alien girl who was in a lifeboat was captured by her own humans on the Hope......

So, if all kinds of things are combined, where does the uneasiness in your heart come from?

Is this planet? Or......

"Dawn, you summarize and analyze all the information about that little alien girl Anne again."

When she called up the holographic situation of the landing site, Captain Leona looked at the command center that had taken root on Planet JNO.3 and began to officially start the construction of the base.

Except for the dozen or so SCV space engineering vehicles that were busy collecting the exposed high-energy crystals and building the first supply station, there were only the ten marines on the alert, the little alien girl who was noisy and wanted to go down to play, and the only ghost agent of the Hope: Annie.

On the ground base construction schedule for Planet JNO.3, they need to build three supply stations, two barracks, a high-energy gas mine collection and processing plant, and an engineering station for the production of heavy equipment within the scheduled ten standard Earth days.

At that time, the Hope can send more new marines and various engineers, and gradually expand the entire base, while gathering various resources, at the same time build and produce all kinds of warships and weapons and equipment they need.

Captain Leona is now a little suspicious under that inexplicable sense of crisis, which is human nature: suspicious and fickle!

Especially those who are in high positions, or she herself who has important responsibilities......

"Yes, Captain!"

As soon as Captain Leona finished speaking, a 3D holographic character and information panel appeared in front of her, and the character model of the Dawn of Hope's brain recorded various information about Anne on the information panel.

"Anne Hasta, a Valoran, has a physique that is about ten times more than that of a normal Earth adult, or even more, and has very good physical coordination; She also has a special ability, her mental power is very high, extremely rare, and the upper limit cannot be detected for the time being; It is said that she can also travel freely through time and space, and has the ability to survive in space without protection; With some kind of dimensional space ability or equipment, he can freely ingest a lot of materials, and he also has a lot of Chinese ......."

"Stop! I know all of this, you first assess how much her specific combat power is. ”

The information that the Dawning Brain just reported was basically the other party's life on the Hope, and the information they observed and summarized, Captain Leona already knew about it, and what she needed to know was something else.

"Report to the captain, if you give an ordinary Marine a one-star rating for his abilities, Anne Hasta's Ghost Agent's ability rating will be five stars for the time being."

Brain Dawn quickly gave it an assessment of Little Annie's combat effectiveness, which was calculated after comparing the data it had collected so far.

"Five-star...... Is it that high? If it's an ordinary elite ghost agent, how many stars can it generally have? ”

Captain Leona was stunned, she was a little unable to digest the information.

An ordinary Marine is only one star, and that little girl, she actually reached five stars?! Therefore, she needs to compare it first in order to roughly understand what the situation of this five-star is?

"Report to the captain, according to the previous data of the United Earth Government, an elite federal ghost agent, in the database, their individual combat ability rating level is generally three stars, and very few are four stars. However, they had a record of the highest level of spectral energy at level ten, and there were not many records of spectral energy in the database on the Hope. ”

After the report, Dawn put away Little Annie's list of messages and waited for the captain to respond.

“……”

Hearing this, Captain Leona frowned and didn't say anything more.

She just turned her head and looked at the hologram information of the ground base on the other side. Above, in addition to the ten green signals indicating the life of the marines, there is also an orange signal, and the opponent is above a commanding height not too far from the base, motionless.

"Dawn, Anne's Ghost Energy Level, can you detect it?"

After thinking about it, Captain Leona reached out and tapped on the holographic map a few times, and the satellite's line of sight began to close rapidly, and then, at last, she saw the small figure lying on top of it, wearing red and white tight armor.

The other party didn't turn on the stealth mode now, just lying on the top of the rubble pile that was corroded by strong acid all year round, looking a little strange, and it seemed to be about to turn into glass.

"Sorry, Captain! I can't even tell if the other person's ability is a ghost? There is no special equipment on the Hope to detect spectral energy, after all, it is the top secret of the Federation! So, based on the information I have so far, I can't give you Annie's ghost level. ”

The captain's words were a little embarrassed, so the female holographic image it let itself show barely learn from the human appearance, and made a helpless shrug of the shoulders.

“……”

"How is this possible? She's just ...... What are you talking about?! ”

When Captain Leona's eyes were staring at the little Anne who was lying on the rubble pile and not moving, the other party suddenly turned around, showed a big grimace from her transparent mask, and then raised his hand and waved his hand to the sky, as if to say something?

"Captain, the other party's mental power is extremely large and sensitive, so the other party should have discovered the satellite's lock on her just now, and the original words she just said were: Hello, please don't stare at me like this all day long, I'll be nervous!"

Although Anne's ghost channel did not switch to the bridge of hope, the Aurora Brain quickly used the permission to learn the content of what she had just said from other channels and rebroadcast it.

"How could she possibly know that we were spying on her right now? It shouldn't be......"

Captain Leona still has no way to comprehend this unbelievable thing.

If you are standing behind a person and staring at someone, maybe you will be felt by the other person? After all, there are still many unknowns in the study of human beings themselves, even if they are extremely technologically advanced.

But now they're observing through satellites in orbit around the planet...... That little girl, how could she still sense it? Her performance is a little too exaggerated, right?

"I'm sorry, Captain Leona! This already involves abilities, psychics, and the occult! These are areas that we humans are not currently able to study in depth, and based on the available information and intelligence, I am unable to make any effective analysis of them. ”

It is also true that the human beings of the earth have been hesitant to study the occult so far.

They just know and record the various abilities and their performance and use, and they can't do more in-depth research for the time being.

And the ghost energy, which is one of the more in-depth studies they have studied, has always been kept secret as a treasure, and there are not many relevant records in the database of the Hope.

Of course, the information on the Hope is not too comprehensive now, after all, they are just prisoners who were exiled more than a hundred years ago, and these things that involve secrets are definitely not given to them! Moreover, more than 100 years have passed, and the Hope has no way of knowing what the specific situation is on the other side of the earth.

"Well, then, Dawn, are you really sure that this little girl, she's harmless to the Hope?"

Captain Leona didn't know why, but she always felt as if some kind of danger was watching over them and the humans on the Hope.

But she just couldn't figure out where the danger was coming from. That's why she unconsciously focused her attention on the little alien girl they rescued.

After all, this little girl, who can now be said to be the only outlier in the Hope, can always make her unconsciously attract her attention.

In her opinion, even if the other party has no ill will towards the Hope, but is the imminent danger related to her?

This time, the reason why she acquiesced to Doug and let this little alien girl land on planet JNO.3 together was also a fluke idea of letting the source of danger leave Hope.

This is also something that can't be helped, after all, after the contact in the past few days, they found that this little girl's combat power seems to be a little too strong...... If the other party is allowed to continue to stay on the Hope, in case, some uncontrollable situation arises at that time, it will not be easy to deal with.

But now, when the little girl had left the Hope, Captain Leona still felt the malice in her depths...... It seems that the danger does not come from this little alien girl?

Therefore, this is why she asked Shuguang Zhibrain again.

"Report to the captain, based on the results of my analysis, Anne? Hasta currently has a three-star safety rating for the Hope, which is the same as most of the Hope's citizens for the time being. ”

This is the result of the analysis of the little girl's words and deeds according to the Dawning Intelligence Brain over a period of several days.

It believes that although this little girl has a strong physique and strength, she does not have any hostile behavior beyond the standards of her human age! Her every move is fully in line with the daily standards of a little human girl, and as a result, it is given a three-star security rating.

You know, this level is already very high!

Above the Hope, most of the human beings are just this standard. And some thugs and criminals even have only one or two stars of security level, and the military personnel with strict discipline and obedience to orders, or Captain Leona herself, are only in the database of Aurora Brain, but only a four-star safety index.

"Well, I hope I'm overthinking...... So, Dawn, you continue to use those satellites to monitor Planet JNO.3 24 hours a day! Now, I'm going to rest first, and if I notice anything out of the ordinary, I'll be notified as soon as possible! This matter is the first priority on the agenda! ”

After really not knowing where her sense of danger came from, Leona could only sigh and shake her head to give up.

She was going to go back and rest for a while, hoping that sleep would free her from this unrealistic perception of danger?

Hopefully, all this is just her delusion, right?

Therefore, when she handed over the captain's acting authority to the second officer on duty, she turned around and left the bridge, and gave a first priority to the dawn of the brain.

"Yes, Captain! It is now on the list of the highest priority schedules. ”

When Captain Leona turned away from her captain's position, the holographic icons and map information that had been unfolding here finally began to disappear one by one.

Eventually, the second officer on duty sat in the captain's position and began to act as the captain of the Hope, coordinating the affairs of the Hope and monitoring the construction of the base on the planet JNO.3.

……

Two hours later, near the ground base of Planet JNO.3.

"Wow! I just slept on my stomach for a while, and they have already built two supply stations that are so spicy? Are they all a swarm of industrious little bees? ”

On planet JNO.3, when little Annie took a nap, when she woke up again, those engineers called SCV had already built two, about one-eighth the size of the command center.

Little Anne pulled up her data and began to look at the two newly established supply depots.

It is said that this depot is capable of storing and producing all the materials and tools needed for the daily functioning of human beings, as well as some recreational facilities and single suites for rest? And small, efficient ecological farms?

To put it bluntly, it is a place where you can eat, drink, and live, and produce all kinds of food for humans, so it will be built in the first place, after all, the engineers and marines working here always need to rest and eat, and if the ground base can produce it by itself, it is better than being transported down from the Hope.

"Of course it's coming soon! That's because, quite a few of their assembly modules have already been manufactured on the Hope, so they can be assembled so quickly. ”

In the boredom of standing guard, when Galen heard little Annie's muttering voice in the channel, he laughed and chatted with her.

It's been more than two hours since they started landing here.

Those SCV engineers, they really worked hard enough, in less than two hours, they set up two supply stations, and then, except for leaving an engineering vehicle for final commissioning, the rest of them probably have to start building that huge barracks, right?

Galen had just discovered that the two armored transport ships had made two trips back and forth, transporting two batches of SCV engineering vehicles from the Hope.

"Well, then, can we already go to this supply depot to rest? Inside, there should be my room, right? You know, I'm tired right now! ”

Hearing that it was going to be repaired soon, little Anne began to complain.

She's been in this place for two hours! And now, where does she want to go to the supply depot to have a good time and see if there's anything interesting inside?

"I'm afraid not! Little Annie, where we are going to live, is a huge barracks that is being built, and it can accommodate about a thousand people! And your room, I guess it hasn't been built yet, so keep on guard, at their current speed, it will probably be a few more hours. ”

Galen turned his head to look at the barracks being built on the huge site, all of its modules were originally produced on the Hope, and a lot of the Hope's inventory resources were used.

Now, all it takes is for the SCV engineers to move the modules back and forth and put them together in a hurry. Then, they will start to collect energy on a large scale and produce and build other buildings, and then the speed of pruning is expected to decrease?

At that time, a large number of recruits and more engineers on the Hope will also be recruited and parachuted?

Galen felt that when the barracks were set up, the first batch of marines in their squad should be able to go to the barracks to repair and rest, which was originally planned.

So, now, it's better that everything is going according to the original plan, and the idea that little Anne is going to rest is probably a bit difficult to do.

"How many hours is there? But...... What if I feel like sleeping a little now? I also want to eat something and take a shower...... And, what if I have a rush to pee and want to shush? ”

Little Anne was bored and began to think about it again on the Marine Corps' public channel.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask: what do you do if you want to poop in your thick armor? Did anyone bring straw paper? ”

Little Anne suddenly thought of a very interesting question, in fact, she had wanted to ask it for a long time.

Their Marines wore spicy and thick armor, and the armor had to be put on and removed with mechanical assistance, so what should they do if they wanted to pee or have diarrhea?

Are they going to pull directly inside the power armor suit? But in that case, wouldn't it be dirty? It's stinky, and I feel disgusting just thinking about it......

Moreover, inside the armor, will it be a short circuit or something? You know, it's electrified inside...... Wouldn't it be fun if they were electrified by their own armor when they came out of the poop?

I think I'm looking forward to it...... Why don't you try a laxative in their food?

“……”

“……”

Originally, the other Marines were still chatting on the public channel, but when they heard this, they lost their voices in an instant?

"Well, I have a lot of drinks in my space pocket, do you need some?"

Little Anne's idea was: give them a little more water, and then, if you're in a hurry, see what they can do.

“……”

It's a pity that no one in the Marines pays attention to her for the time being.

"Huh? I also have roasted velociraptor legs and live velociraptor eggs here! Who among you can cook? This is what I brought out of the world of Azeroth, and I swear, you haven't eaten it! ”

“……”

Also a velociraptor and a liar!

The Marines of the Cobra Squad listened to Little Annie's insensible words, and their hearts continued to slander.

"Ahh I'm kind of feeling like sleeping again...... After standing guard for so long, you really don't want to boo? ”

I don't know what the hell she was thinking, but little Anne began to babble a little disregarding discipline.

It's good that she doesn't say boo, but when she talks about this, many Marines feel that their bladders are a little swollen, and then they unconsciously contract their lower abdomen, as if they are ...... They all want to go and relax?

But here's the problem: the barracks haven't been built yet, and they can't easily take off their armor without the help of the machinery in the equipment area inside!

If you're really in a hurry, I'm afraid, you can only solve it in the armor?

It was a terrible experience! Especially...... When you eat the wrong thing and have diarrhea?

"Urgency is suffocating! If you are sleepy, just lie on the ground and sleep, anyway, you have just slept for a long time, and no one will say anything about you if you sleep for a while! ”

Galen felt that he himself was really crazy just now! Going to talk to a little kid? Now it's okay, look, you've made a mess of yourself, right?

Forget it, Captain Galen decided right away: Don't leave this little Anne alone, let her go!

Anyway, they only need to hold out for another three hours, and when Darius's Viper team and the recruited recruits come down to change shifts, they can go and get a good rest.

When the time comes, it's time to eat, it's time to sleep, it's time to pull!

"Hey! Little Annie, you say, you have a velociraptor egg? Really? How big is it? Can you eat it? ”

After a while, a female Marine finally couldn't help but ask.

She understands the terms velociraptor and velociraptor egg, but she really doesn't believe that this little girl can come up with this kind of thing that has been extinct on the earth for countless years?

So, she was just teasing the little girl she loved and hated in a joking tone.

"Of course you can eat it, it's a live velociraptor egg! This is what I saw when I was on an adventure with a bearded dwarf on the continent south of the world of Azeroth, and I took hundreds of them! Each one is the size of your head! I still remember that at that time, there was a large group of velociraptors chasing the two of us for a long time, but it was fun! ”

As soon as she talked about it, little Anne immediately began to chatter.

At that time, she felt that the northern continent was too cold and there was nothing to do, so she left the City of Flames alone and went directly to a place called the Valley of Thorns in the south.

Then, she ran into a bearded dwarf who was almost caught by the trolls, and after she saved them, she forcibly took all the velociraptor eggs she saw, despite the other party's dissuasion.

"Really? It sounds like that, but you made it up, right? ”

At this time, another female Marine also interjected and began to ask curiously.

She listened to what this little Anne said, as if there was really such a thing? She almost believed it!

But she also knew that it was very likely, it was just a little girl's nonsense, how could there be any planet Azeroth in the universe? It's not possible to have any velociraptor eggs or anything like that, presumably, it's just a little girl's fantasy?

"Lie to you that you're a puppy! You wait, and when the barracks is ready, I'll give it to both of you...... No! Forget it, two is too many, hmm...... Just one! ”

Originally, Anne wanted to send two, but when you think about it, there are ten of them......

If one person gives two, that's twenty...... That's a little too much!

For every one she takes, there is one less, so she decides that it would be better to save a little, and besides, she must let them exchange something delicious!

(Anne Master!) There is a situation, to the northwest, on the beach side, it seems that something is going to climb up from the sea! - When Little Anne was hanging out with the rest of the team, her bioradar bear Tibbs was the first to notice the anomaly, and then quickly reminded Little Anne. ）

"Huh? Is there a situation? That's great! Attention everyone, there is a situation! ”

Little Anne is never afraid of finding trouble, she is afraid of boredom!

So, after hearing the reminder of her little bear Tibers, her eyes lit up and she immediately refreshed! God, now, something fun is finally going to happen?

Click!

Anne quickly loaded her 20mm caliber Flame Goddess I SS-01 specially made super powerful electromagnetic sniper rifle, and at the same time unfastened the safety, and then stepped straight forward, aiming in the direction that Tibbs had just said.

"Situation? Really? Little Annie, I warn you, don't talk nonsense on your mission......"

Galen was stunned for a moment when he heard little Annie's words.

Then he hurriedly checked his radar equipment, and fortunately, it showed that everything was fine! It seems that this is Xiao Annie messing around again?

Just when he wanted to open his mouth to teach a lesson......

Boom!!!

Before Galen could finish his next words, the sound of a huge caliber gun firing rang out.

Galen knew that it was the sound of Little Annie's sniper cannon, and she hadn't pressed the silencer at all just now, so the sound was so loud!

"Aha! I hit it in the head! ”

Anne's shot just now accurately hit the head of the hideous monster in the scope, causing its brain to explode into a puddle of red and green flesh in an instant.

Originally, if you follow the normal process: after discovering an alien creature, you will first make initial contact to determine whether the other party is intelligent or not, and only when the other party is strongly hostile, you can shoot the other party.

But little Anne doesn't care so much!

Besides, her Tiebs has already said that the other party has strong hostility, and he crawled out of the sea secretly, and he is still ugly, and he must have bad intentions! So, under the extreme disgust, little Anne shot it directly!

Who made it look spicy and ugly? Who does not hit it?

"Don't rob it, that's my prey!"

After saying that, little Anne jumped straight up from the pile of rubble.

Then, she quickly picked up her exaggerated weapon, and began to run at high speed from the top to the beach in the distance.

Her sturdy red-and-white figure moved rapidly between the rugged rocks, and the speed was even faster than when she simulated the confrontation!

She's going to hurry over and drag that monster to the vicinity of the base, and the big guy of Galen in the province will talk about her dazzling or something!

This thing should be the strange fish she saw just now.

"Damn it! Is there really a situation? ”

Galen followed the direction where Little Anne shot and looked, and sure enough, on the other side of the beach, there was really a monster with red and green blood rushing down its neck?

"Everybody stand guard! Base Command Center? I'm Galen! We've just discovered alien creatures, right! That's right! Little Anne has just shot and killed the other party, please make the necessary preparations, and I will go over and see the situation now! ”

Galen, who was closest to the beach, only had time to say a word to all the team members and the command center in the channel when he saw the alien monster that had been killed by Annie's shot, and then he quickly reloaded his electromagnetic rifle and began to run in the direction of the beach.

Now, little Annie's swaggering fellow, she's almost running over there, so he'll have to go over and take care of it a little, who knows if there are any other monsters like this in the sea?

This time it's a real thing!

It seems that this planet is really not as simple as he imagined, if you think about the warning of little Annie before, it seems to be ...... What she said was always the truth? She's really not messing around? The planet, in danger?
