Chapter 5: Blood Romance (19)

"Brother Xiang, there is a situation here!"

It was Xiao Jianfei who spoke, and according to the direction shown by the radar, they had already searched a few kilometers ahead.

When Luo Zhixiang arrived, Xiao Jianfei and the others were hiding in an obstacle and staring at a few xenomorphs lying lazily in the veins, and when they saw them coming, Xiao Jianfei made a silent gesture.

"What did you find?"

Luo Zhixiang asked in a low voice after approaching

"This group of xenos is very slow to respond to the outside world, and we have been trying for more than ten minutes, and we have barely moved our position."

"These xenomorphs are on the path of the operation point, they must be removed, and I will see my gestures later."

The operation point Luo Zhixiang mentioned was a passage that was only a few tens of meters in height and width, and the alliance military was ready to set up a jam point in that convenient place to prevent xenomorphs from escaping.

Luo Zhixiang's team divided into two directions and quietly touched those aliens, and after arriving at the appropriate assault point, the team with rich cooperation experience almost simultaneously pounced on those aliens and opened their spiritual costumes one after another.

Almost as soon as they unfurled their spiritual suits, the group of xenos all opened their eyes, and their movements were so swift that they counterattacked, but only a few xenos could be the opponents of this group of elites, and they were all knocked to the ground in just one round.

"It's not a big deal."

One of the team members flicked the xenomorph he had cut in two with his Spirit Suit Sword, and smiled back at his teammates

"Be careful!" x

The team member who heard the warning from his teammates knew that something was wrong and was about to react, when the half of the huge metal arm that had been cut off just now had already penetrated his abdomen.

"Xiao Zhao!"

The rest of the people rushed over as soon as possible to divide the xenomorph corpse, but Xiao Zhao, who had a big hole in his chest and abdomen, could no longer be saved.

Luo Zhixiang was so painful that Xiao Zhao, who was about to die, closed his eyes. Xiao Zhao is also an excellent veteran, but he didn't expect to die here inexplicably under a carelessness.

"Let's check those xenos again, they are different from our previous creatures, and the extensive trauma is not enough to make them incapacitated, and we can't afford to be taken advantage of by them because of carelessness! Now let's summarize the characteristics of these xenomorphs."

Luo Zhixiang crushed the head of a xenomorph that was still struggling on the ground trying to repair his injuries

"First, these xenos don't have the vital effects of conventional creatures, and any injuries can be replenished by devouring the same substance, as if the only efficient way to annihilate them is to destroy their heads."

"Second, although they are slow to perceive the outside world, they are very sensitive to the spirit costume, and they react almost as soon as we unfold the spirit costume, which is the same as the performance in the video, maybe this feature can be effectively used."

"Thirdly, they are social species, and we may encounter a large number of xenogeneous clusters in the future, and we will have to prepare for the worst at any time."

"Based on the above situation, I think we should rush to the node as soon as possible and quickly defend by relying on the favorable terrain!"

Luo Zhixiang finally made a conclusion, and swept over the team members with an inquiring gaze.

Seeing that everyone had no objections in the end, Luo Zhixiang patted Xiao Jianfei on the shoulder

"Jian Fei, Xiao Zhao's body and the samples of these xenos will be taken back by you, and make a detailed report to the headquarters."

"No, Captain, I'm going with you too!"

"Don't be rash, it's an order! Please focus on the big picture! ”

After this small encounter, everyone's mood was no longer as relaxed as when they came, and Luo Zhixiang also made arrangements just in case. Leave one team member to explain the situation and lead the other team members on.

There were several more small battles on the way, and Luo Zhixiang's team, which had become cautious, did not suffer casualties again, but several contact battles made Luo Zhixiang's heart more and more uneasy.

Among these batches of xenos, there are obviously a few xenos that are very difficult, not only are their bodies harder than ordinary xenos, but their speed and strength are much higher than those of ordinary mechas, which makes their team spend a lot of effort. This also verifies a worry that has always existed in Luo Zhixiang's heart - these xenos will also evolve!

Although he didn't know how they evolved, Luo Zhixiang believed that they were also like the xenos on the ground, with an organization and hierarchy, and Luo Zhixiang even had reason to believe that there were special members in this group of xenos whose body composition was almost entirely composed of VH-3 deformation steel, and those xenos, except for the spirit suit skills and repulsion shields, basically had no way to harm them - those xenos were already equivalent to the advanced fourth order. If 3-4 of those xenos appear at the same time, they can pose a deadly threat to the entire squad!

"Zhixiang, it's time to reach the node, should we stay here and wait for the arrival of the engineering team or continue to explore?"

Lin Yuyan was no longer as optimistic as when she first came down, and when she advanced to the entrance of the passage, she turned back to ask Luo Zhixiang's opinion

Luo Zhixiang pondered for a while

"We still continue to explore, there is only one way from here to the cave where the xenos gather, there is no need to defend at all, we try to find out the situation of the xenos and support the alliance's follow-up battle plans."

"No problem, I'll listen to you"

Lin Yuyan continued to move forward

The original plan was to arrive here and assist the advance team in establishing a stronghold, waiting for the follow-up troops to attack together and direct space-based fire support. But Luo Zhixiang felt that it was necessary to find out the strength of the xenos, this group of xenos might not be as simple as they expected, and something unpredictable might happen if they were rashly alarmed.

Along the way, Luo Zhixiang's team was surprisingly lucky, and they didn't encounter xenos along the way until the intersection of the caves, but when they arrived at the entrance, Luo Zhixiang also understood that the next encounter between them and xenos was inevitable!

"We'll try to avoid xenomorphs and go as deep into the cavern as we can. Those xenos are not sensitive to external stimuli, and if we are careful, we can avoid them without alarming them. Remember, don't activate the costume until you have to! The inside is different from the outside, and the number of xenomorphs is too large to count! ”

"Understood!"

"Well, turn off all the lights, use the night gear to enter, and be careful with every bend!"

After Luo Zhixiang finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled the start of the operation, and the team was led by Lin Yuyan and drilled in one after another, while Luo Zhixiang stayed at the back of the last escort team as the captain and coordinated the overall situation.

Just like the video, Luo Zhixiang's team also walked all the way to that big bend unhindered.

Lin Yuyan clenched her fist and raised her hand in the air, signaling the people behind her to stop, while she clinged to the inner wall of the rock and slowly moved over. Sure enough, a large group of xenomorphs lay in the aisle, unaware that their home had been invaded.

Lin Yuyan tried to walk up a few steps, but the group of aliens still didn't react, and Lin Yuyan, who was relieved, beckoned to follow behind, and just like that, the whole team passed the first level.
