The pilot's expression returned to seriousness, and he activated the ghost vision again, and then said to the crew compartment while operating: "The wreckage of the battleship Sky Kangaroo has been discovered, and it is about to arrive in the target area and open the combat deployment compartment." ”

Everyone in the crew compartment got up, green lights lit up on both sides of the crew compartment, and then in the sound of machinery operating, the deployment compartment opened, and the combatants entered the capsule-shaped cabin in groups of three.

Seeing that the group of madmen were indifferent, the non-commissioned officer was about to speak, but heard Serra say: "Cockpit, open the left hatch, let's go down first!" With that, the mask fell, and one of them walked to the hatch.

"Roger, one thousand and one hundred meters at a height, pay attention to the air currents."

Only then did the non-commissioned officer remember that although these people were crazy, they were also the Grim Reaper on the battlefield, they were the strongest warriors who wandered between humans and aliens, and they were called mercenaries who were not just mercenaries.

After the hatch opened, Sierra was the first to jump off the fighter.

The deployment height of more than 1,000 meters is as calm for her as ordinary people jumping off the bench.

With the help of the exoskeleton's ghostly energy, Serra fell to the ground with a bang, and the splashes exploded in bundles.

Followed by ten other mercenaries, they also landed with a bang.

Serra opened her ghost vision and looked at the time, it was 4 o'clock.

"Time is running out, hurry up and keep up." After saying that, Serra was the first to rush to the wreckage of the battleship in the distance.

After the mercenaries left, the deployment chambers landed.

By the time they reached the wreckage of the Sky Kangaroo, it had been cleaned up by the Hyenas and Vultures(1), leaving only the cold metal abandoned in the swamp.

Serra glanced at the ruins and raised her arm, and the function box on her arm unfolded and two probe orbs flew out. The orb appears and quickly scans around the ruins in different directions.

Dynamic images appear in Serra's field of vision, but the scan results disappoint Serra, who is indeed late. The Sky Kangaroo has been resembled as a skeleton, all available items have been dismantled by the Hyena, and no DNA sequence information has been found through scanning, and the vultures have done a good job......

Rayser was aware of the situation through the sharing of information, but he was optimistic, and when Serra was at a loss, he snapped his fingers at Number 4, who took down his weapon from behind him.

Then Reeser said to Serra, "Ma'am, please keep your people away, we are going to get to work." ”

Serra looked back at Number 1 and Number 4 who were charging their weapons with some confusion, and although they were puzzled, they immediately told the people to disperse.

The 50 personnel formed a regular arc around No. 4 with a diameter of thirty meters, and when everyone looked at each other, No. 4 suddenly jumped, and then the charged weapon fired a bright light and sank into the ground.

Followed the 4th to land safely, but everything went on as usual and nothing happened.

The non-commissioned officer who had been beaten before sneered for a long time, and just as he wanted to tease a few words, he felt a tremor on the ground.

A short time later, an alarm sounded inside the seekers hovering overhead.

The pilot was startled and hurriedly informed the combat units: "Signs of alienation have been found, and xenomorphs have been detected, pay attention!" Xenomorph is coming! ”

After the warning was issued, Serra was only startled, but soon understood, but the ordinary soldiers she brought were different, and they all showed their weapons in panic.

No. 1 calmly patted a young soldier next to him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, this is bait before fishing, there is no danger." ”

The young soldier looked at Number 1 suspiciously, and just then the ground trembled again, and before long a scream rang out, and in the corner of the circle formed by the crowd, four soldiers were lifted by an unidentified object that suddenly appeared from underwater.

Seeing this, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but say that they immediately opened fire.

Now No. 1 is a little anxious.

"Don't fire, don't kill it! We need it alive! ”

It's a pity that the mother body of this infected person is already in a state of serious injury and dormancy, and when No. 4 forced it out with energy ripples just now, it was already dying, and this round of volleys, where can it withstand it.

In just a split second, the infected's mother burst open, and a large number of mutilated corpses and egg larvae poured out of the sore-covered body, and disgusting serous fluid sprayed everywhere.

The most unfortunate thing was the four soldiers who were jacked up, they couldn't avoid it after the mother exploded, and now they fell into the slurry for fear that they would be disgusted to death if they were not infected.

Number 1 raised his hand and rolled his eyes, and looked back at Serra not far away, with a look of 'look at the idiot men you brought'.

Sierra shrugged.

"It's okay, as long as you have a DNA sequence sample, let's get to work!" As she said this, she was retreating, not afraid, but from the eldest lady, and it was a natural reaction to love cleanliness.

No. 1 pursed his lips and said to his subordinates: "6, 7, 8 don't be in a daze, hurry up and work!" ”

678 was not ambiguous, and immediately rushed to the vicinity of the dead infected's purpose, and No. 8 rescued the four poor insects and threw them aside, while saying: "Don't go near them, No. 9 will check on them, and dispose of those who are not saved on the spot." ”

Three of the four poor worms were disposed of on the spot after the scan, and although none of them knew what they had done wrong, as long as they popped up 'infected', they were doomed to never return alive.

"Nope! No! Don't kill me! Don't ......"

No. 9 acted very quickly, checked, and shot without the slightest hesitation.

"I'm sorry, brother, where the duty lies."

After doing all this, Number 9 threw the lucky man into the water, and then said to the soldier who was in a daze next to him: "Wash him, don't let him drown." ”

The non-commissioned officer couldn't bear to turn his head and sighed deeply.

"Write it down, and keep up." Seeing that No. 6 and No. 7 had been collected, Serra stepped forward and said lightly as she passed the non-commissioned officer.

It's like the kind of understatement is that there weren't just three people who died, just three bugs.

No one cared what the non-commissioned officer thought, and Number 6 placed a sample of the DNA sequence into the active remodeler that Number 5 was carrying.

After a while, a series of ghost waveforms began to play back.

DNA is a very peculiar thing, especially when humans discovered that it has a memory function, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to interpret this memory in depth. Since the development of science and technology, after the discovery of ghost energy (2), the memory function of DNA sequences has been like the playback of particle images, and in many cases, it has an important intermediary role in reshaping the scene to find clues and traces.

While he couldn't see what had happened, the feedback from the spectral waveform could help Sierra find the DNA sequence he wanted.

The template was collected from the corpse of a Sky Kangaroo crew member in the infected's mother's body, and several people stood still around 5 for a moment before looking back into the distance, which was now empty, but in the ghostly vision, a special ripple was showing a special ripple on the surface of the water in the distance.

"Squads 1 and 2 are staying here, and the others are coming with me." Serra immediately set off, looked at the poor clean-washed creature before leaving, and said to the non-commissioned officer, "You stay, take him back to the Hunter and isolate him." ”

The non-commissioned officer nodded and began signaling the seekers to return.

When Serra and his party arrived at the location where the ghost energy waveform reverberate, the two deployment bays began to rise into the air.

No. 4 looked at his feet, and the compound eyes on the mask transformed into six pairs of honeycomb matrices, and through the layer of water less than half a meter, No. 4 began to detect.

Ban Shi No. 4 said: "It's a bit troublesome, the target has sunk to a depth of forty meters below the silt layer, and it is almost impossible to enter the target area from here." ”

"Forty meters?" Serra's brow furrowed. "Solution."

No. 1 was stunned, and then immediately understood, the eldest lady never talked about it.

"Uh...... Normally, this kind of deep dive is not possible, and if you detonate at a deep level, it would be futile considering that this is a swampy area, and it may even cause the target to continue to sink deeper...... So ......"

"So what? I asked you to give me a plan, not to tell me what to tell me after summarizing! Serra was angry, and her tone was raised several degrees in a row.

Number 1 looked at Serra speechlessly, feeling the pressure through the mask, but so what, they were just mercenaries.

When everyone was at a loss, No. 4 suddenly looked away, and then said happily: "Don't worry, there is a way!" Fifty meters below the ground, it is no longer a silty layer, but a rocky layer, and a flow of water has been detected under the rock layer, which is supposed to be an underground river. ”

Serra was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "What about the source!" Can I find a place to enter the underground river? ”

No. 4 didn't speak, and continued to follow the current to detect, and only after a while did she raise her head, and the mask was also put away, revealing her delicate and handsome face, pointing to the forest in the distance and smiling: "Then, the complex of buildings detected over there should be an abandoned old site, and the entrance to the underground river should be found." ”

(1) Hyena: A synonym for battlefield resource recyclers, who will maximize resource recovery from post-war ruins and all equipment and vehicles that have been determined to be irreparable.

Vulture: A synonym for a battlefield cleaner, the vulture, which is generally responsible for purposefully cleaning and erasing corpses and DNA sequences in an area.

(2) Ghost energy: Ghost energy is another progressive embodiment of human science and technology, it is different from electromagnetic waves, optical fiber wavelengths, etc., but a new field discovered by human beings, and its practical value is very high, not only can be used to explore and find special trajectory information, but also can be measured by the amplitude of ghost energy fluctuations to measure the combat energy level of the mercenary.
