Vol. 5 Blood Romance (27)
The long-term experience of fighting with the Zerg has given the members of the search team a wealth of combat experience, and in just a few seconds, they have transformed into an independent combat team of three members, each finding their own cover and hiding themselves.
Fortunately, this open field is full of clusters of ore veins that have been mined a few times and then abandoned, which is very suitable as a position to stop the enemy, which is why the refining center security team chose this place to intercept the xenos in the first place.
As soon as all the members were in place, a white figure appeared in the dark mining tunnel, and the pilots decisively switched their field of vision to infrared night vision assistance - the lighting on the mecha was not enough for them to accurately locate the xenomorph hundreds of meters away.
"Whoosh~"
The first red laser beam pierced through the darkness and landed an accurate hit on the head of an xenomorph, dissolving it into a large hole, and the mortally wounded xenomorph took a few steps forward before losing his balance and tumbling to the ground.
This shot is the prelude to the battle, the signal to start the attack! After this blow, the other muzzles also erupted with fiery streams of energy, knocking the xenos to the ground.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
Suddenly, the entire aisle was cut into dead zones of varying sizes by flashing red lines that appeared and disappeared from time to time.
Despite the fact that the search team only has fifty members, their weapon configuration far exceeds the standard of the alliance's mechs, not only are all powerful energy weapons, but even the firing frequency is completely explosive to all the active models of the alliance. This is the increase in strength brought about by the difference in science and technology, the problem of energy weapons being easy to overheat in the giant clan seems to not exist at all, there is no alliance energy weapon that needs to wait for a few shots to cool down, in order to avoid the risk of exploding, just a few dozen firepower points are just a fire blockade effect of a mecha brigade in the alliance.
After a burst of impact, the xenomorphs who did not reap the results of the battle left more than a hundred corpses and retreated in a hurry, and soon disappeared from Liu Yuxin's perception.
"Alarm cleared!"
Sure that the xenos had no intention of organizing another impact, Liu Yuxin lifted the battle alarm and stepped forward to carefully inspect those xenos.
There was one thing he cared about - how did these xenos know about their arrival? Looking at the way they pounced on them with great momentum, no one would believe them if they were unprepared.
However, Liu Yuxin is not a scientist, so after researching for a while and finding nothing, he connects to Minami Suzuki's communication.
VH-3 deformed steel also has very good isolation, and his communication equipment is not enough to support 3D projection under the interference of ore veins, and finally can only carry out pure voice communication
"I'm sorry, Sister Suzu, I can't broadcast the live situation due to signal problems, but I will transmit the battle records to the past, and I would like to ask Sister Ling to analyze why the xenos can detect our arrival from a few hundred meters or more? This is completely inconsistent with the xenomorph manifestations in previous sources! ”
"Found you a few hundred meters away? How is this possible! If they had that kind of sensitivity, the previous data wouldn't have been sent back, and those rocks might have been able to stop them for so many years. Could it be that they have mutated again in recent years? It can't be impossible, and a few years won't allow them to change by such leaps and bounds...... You have to tell me the details of what happened."
Suzuki Minami was obviously surprised by the information provided by Liu Yuxin, and the Alliance's many encounters with this metal tectonic anomaly showed that they were extremely insensitive to information from the outside world, which made the Alliance's assessment of them as limited in harm, and there was no violent conflict between them and the Alliance. If they had the aggressiveness they have shown today, a life-and-death war between the two races would have broken out long ago.
For a long time afterward, Suzuki Minami was quietly listening to Liu Yuxin's account of the course of the incident, this xenomorph raid had a strong purpose, and there was no hesitation to go straight to Liu Yuxin's team hundreds of meters away, which had never been seen in the previous contact history! Even in the last large-scale encirclement and suppression at the legion level, the movement could be heard from several kilometers away, and it did not attract xenos out of sight to attack before firing at them.
Could it be—their anomalous behavior had something to do with the giants' mechs?
Such a thought suddenly popped into Minami Suzuki's heart
This is the only explanation for this anomaly! But this idea still needs a little bit of validation.
"Little Brother Yuxin, I have a little idea about your xenomorph raid, but I still need you to verify it."
Subsequently, Suzuki Nan told Liu Yuxin about his guess and verification method......
Liu Yuxin lies on the edge of a deep pit and looks at the bottom.
This is a super rich vein, which has been dug into a large pit with a diameter of more than 20 meters and a depth of more than 20 meters. It was supposed to be working before the xenomorph raid, and the circular ramp built at the edge of the pit was abandoned with various construction vehicles, and at the bottom of the pit were not only the mining equipment that had been destroyed by the xenomorphs, but also countless ores piled up at the bottom of the pit, and the xenos were lying motionless on top of the ores.
Liu Yuxin cautiously retracted her head, leaned on the hoisting machine that had been devastated by the xenomorphs, and only a few metal stakes remained, and pointed the camera device of the terminal at the heterogeneous species at the bottom of the valley, and even gave several close-ups of several special individuals that were obviously different from others.
It seems that Sister Ling's analysis is not wrong, these xenos have an extremely strong reaction to the armor from the giant clan, as long as the armor is close to a certain range, they will be alert or attack, or abandon their habitat to retreat. Personally, he is able to infiltrate very close distances without alerting the resting xenomorphs.
This made Liu Yuxin very curious about how these xenos correctly grasped the accurate information of those mechas. Those mecha that are more than one level higher than the alliance's technology, whether it is the body material or the manufacturing process, the alliance's scientists are amazed, if the friendly signal is blocked, the mecha with great stealth performance can even sneak into the guard post within a hundred meters without being detected, it can be said that the stealth performance is not comparable to the alliance mecha.
After recording a video for a while, Liu Yuxin, who felt that the information had been collected about the same, withdrew from this area full of different species, returned to the middle of his partners, and connected the communication with Suzuki Minami
"Sister Ling, your guess is correct, those xenos have a very strong alertness to the Giant Clan's uniforms, and as long as they get close, they will trigger a fierce reaction."
"I think you should contact the Styx, maybe they know something. As it stands, this vein isn't even just a xenomorph nest! Wait a minute, I'll mobilize communications satellites for you to support you in quantum communications. ”
Suzuki Nan's words made Liu Yuxin's heart suddenly feel bumpy, he was afraid that he would know something terrible after communicating with Qi Xing.
If it was too dangerous, would he give up Lin Feng?
Liu Yuxin himself is not sure, he has no right to bury another group of friends here for the sake of one friend!
What if things really go out of his way?
