It's a flat land, already on the frontier of human control, with only five base stations, a supply station left over from the pioneering era, and beyond that endless forests and mountains.

The supply depot is a concrete building, about ten square meters, with only one alloy door. Usually there are some general repair tools and materials stored inside, and there is also a simple set of life-sustaining equipment such as a food synthesizer.

At this time, everyone saw that the gate of the supply station had been knocked in, and there was a not shallow claw mark on the door, and they suddenly became nervous.

This area has lost the signal, and it is impossible to apply for permission to open the door, and the only way to open the door is to enter the electronic code through the most primitive one. A few people tried it randomly, and in the end, Jiang Ya had no choice but to order to camp on the spot, and then took a few people out to reconnoiter while it was not completely dark. The rest of the people set up camp, Zhang Anning was still thinking in the car, and Han Fei was fiddling with the printer.

Han Fei took the time to check the system panel, and the progress bar of [Star Pupil] had reached 97%. As for why it was so fast, it may not be understood until Liang Qian returns to the restaurant and checks the food storage cabinet. At this time, a string of numbers suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:

“041549”

Glancing around, they were all busy, and no one paid attention to him, Han Fei asked in a low voice:

"System? What is it? The digital code for the door? ”

"Yes!"

"How did you get it?"

"Who do you look down upon? I'm also an artificial intelligence! Isn't it easy to do such a trivial matter? ”

"Then I'll try it first!"

Han Fei ran to the gate of the supply station and entered this string of numbers.

"Bang boring!"

The door is open! Because of some deformation, there was a burst of noise.

When the others heard this, they rushed over, and Han Fei had no choice but to explain weakly:

"Ha, by coincidence, I was lucky enough to try it out."

Several people did not suspect him, Han Fei entered the room and began to look for something that could be used. Zhang Anning followed behind and stared at him, and Han Fei turned his head a little weakly to get busy with other things.

At this time, the system began to communicate with Han Fei with subtitles again:

"I've unlocked a small amount of data, here's an entry you need to pay attention to! It must have something to do with the catastrophe I talked about earlier. ”

Han Fei hurriedly checked:

Event [Invasion]: On January 1, 2999, all the seals of the X Boundary Gap were opened, and XXXXXX attacked. The coordinates of the origin of the gap are: XXX, XXX, XXX, XXX.

(Note: Telling the host important information in advance may lead to the worldline being constricted, so be sure to disguise the information as a form of system release task to avoid the observer effect.) ）

Of course, the content in parentheses was hidden by the system, and Han Fei did not see it.

"Boundary? What is that? ”

Han Fei looked at this entry and was confused.

"A rift to another world."

"Other worlds? Is there really another world? Han Fei was shocked.

Suddenly remembered that Liang Xi and Han Bing looked hurried, could it be related to the attack of this enemy?

More than 100 years ago, natural disasters were raging, volcanic earthquakes and tsunamis erupted one after another, human civilization was severely damaged, and the population of the mainland was drastically reduced. After more than 100 years of recuperation, the population has exceeded 100 million, distributed in various cities on the mainland, and efforts have been made to rebuild human civilization. However, after the discovery of the new energy mine, it is said that mankind has climbed the technology tree to a very high height in just one hundred years, and if it were not for the ubiquitous particle turbulence in space, the entire continent would have been conquered by humans.

At this time, Jiang Ya's shouts suddenly came from the communication channel, and there were bursts of rapid gunshots:

"Qin Tian, Li Qi, defend on the spot and prepare for battle!"

.............

After receiving the captain's order, the people in the camp were busy and unhurried, but the sound of gunfire from the headphones made people feel nervous.

Jiang Ya took two people out, and now there were still five soldiers from the pioneer corps left in the camp. They skillfully arranged four [X-01-1 Alert Robots] at the edge of the camp to set up portable fortifications. The basic processes of countless training and drills are skillful and seem to be well organized.

Zhang Anning ran over and said to Qin Tian, who was busy:

"I have blueprints for the Universal Defense Module, which is being printed."

Qin Tian nodded in response, and then continued to strengthen the fortifications.

It was the first time Han Fei encountered this situation, and he walked around helplessly. On the contrary, Zhang Anning was extremely calm, paced back to the engineering truck, opened a box and fiddled with equipment that he had never seen.

The camp fell silent, except for the sound of printers "brushing".

Not long after, the roar of the jeep's engine could be heard not far away, and after passing a hill, it stopped outside the camp in a blink of an eye, and several people in the camp were busy clenching their guns, ready to pour fire on the enemy.

Before the car stopped, Jiang Ya kicked open the door and jumped down, shouting loudly while opening the door in the back row:

"Zhang Wei is injured, Xiao Zhou, come here!"

Zhou Yixing, who is also the team doctor, hurriedly ran over with a medical kit when he heard this.

Putting Zhang Weiping on the makeshift operating table, Han Fei found that Zhang Wei was wrapped in a white bandage around his abdomen, which was constantly oozing blood, and the other two also had minor injuries of varying degrees.

Zhou Yixing untied the bandage, cut off the combat uniform, and saw that Zhang Wei's waist and abdomen were cracked with a hole of nearly 20 centimeters, the edge of the wound was neat, and the internal organs were faintly visible, so he hurriedly treated the wound.

The others took care of their wounds before turning back to their respective positions.

Jiang Ya said and shouted:

"Ready to fight, there are a lot of enemies."

After saying that, by the way, the video of the previous battle was transmitted to the team channel, and what attacked them was a group of beasts, all black, looking like some kind of mutated big cat, extremely fast.

All of them were in good spirits and ready to meet the incoming horde of beasts.

It's dark.

The camp was also plunged into darkness, with only lights above the makeshift operating table. The tactical eyepieces that are standard in the pioneer corps are all equipped with infrared and low-light functions, and Han Fei and Zhang Anning also found spare eyepieces to put on.

Time flows slowly in an uneasy silence......

Half an hour later, Zhou Yixing said in the channel:

"Captain, the wound has been cleaned and the bleeding has stopped, but the claws of those beasts seem to be poisonous, preventing the wound from healing itself, and the wound is now blue and black. The general antidote and antibiotics had no effect, so I had to go back to the city and find a way. ”

By this time it was completely dark, and the eyepieces were gray, and there was a dead silence around them. An invisible panic slowly enveloped everyone.

Even if it is a pioneer corps, most of its tasks on weekdays are to explore the terrain and drive away mutant beasts. This is the first time that Jiang Ya has been actively attacked, Jiang Ya hesitated for a few seconds, and then made a decision in his heart.

"Tidy up and get ready to retreat!" Jiang Ya said.

"Captain, there's a situation, they're coming!" At this time, Qin Tian said.

Jiang Ya immediately walked over when he heard this. In the panel of the drone command platform, a large group of beasts has surrounded the camp, leaving only a road to the southeast, as if someone is commanding behind them, surrounding three and one, to drive everyone in that direction.

Because of the signal, the drone can't fly too far, it can fly within a radius of less than a kilometer, and the situation cannot be observed from a distance.

Regardless of whether the herd really deliberately set aside a path, it is imperative to get into the signaled area as soon as possible, report the situation, and apply for support. However, at this time, I can't go if I want to, and if Zhang Wei, who is seriously injured, forcibly breaks through, he may not be able to last until he returns to the city after a bumpy journey.

Jiang Ya decided at the moment to divide the soldiers into two ways.

He led the team, Wang Wen, Li Qi, and Wu Qi forcibly broke through the siege for help, and the remaining seven people defended on the spot and waited for rescue.

"Qin Tian, you come to lead the team, you must stick to it until the rescue arrives!" Jiang Ya said loudly.

"Roger!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the encirclement of the beast herd was still relatively weak, the four of them got into the car and left quickly.

"Han Fei, you help move Zhang Wei to the supply station, you can hide yourself!" Qin Tian arranged it.

One person was left to keep an eye on the drone as the others continued to reinforce the fortifications with printed defense modules. The remaining jeep and engineering vehicle also drove over and used as temporary shelter. Zhou Yixing beckoned Duan Yijie to take care of Zhang Wei and joined the defense circle himself.

At this time, Li Yuxia, who had been monitoring the drone picture, exclaimed, Han Fei hurriedly ran over, in the picture, seven or eight beasts were hitting Jiang Ya's car, the jeep was hit and swayed from side to side like a drunk drunk, and another beast with a body that was obviously stronger than the surrounding hit one side, and the jeep was finally knocked to the ground and rolled down the slope.

Li Yuxia hurriedly controlled the drone to follow, but flew out of the signal coverage area, lost contact, and the picture became blank.

By the time the spare drone re-ascended into the sky, the car had long since disappeared and the encirclement had been closed again.

Several people were flustered in their hearts, Qin Tian forcibly suppressed the idea that everyone wanted to support, and reprimanded loudly:

"Obey the order, to go to the rescue now is to send to death! Believe the Captain! ”

Suppressing the fear in their hearts, everyone waited in uneasiness. Except for the injured Zhang Wei who stayed in the supply station, Han Fei and Zhang Anning also stayed outside to see if there was anything they could help. Han Fei stood in front of the printer, slightly surprised to find that he didn't have much fear, just a little nervous, as if he was standing on a bungee jumping platform, and even a little excited. And he also found that Zhang Anning didn't look abnormal at all, and he was a little too calm, and he was installing a strange device in his hand at this time.

The institute has always been mysterious, and others are somewhat curious, but no one asks.

Han Fei began to look for any blueprints that would be helpful, but unfortunately, the [X-01-1 Alert Robot] that seemed to be useful had permissions, but several of them were missing. In desperation, I had to print an ordinary saber to make myself look more secure........

Time passed slowly, and it was late at night in the blink of an eye.

Qin Tian was alone on the command platform, the other three soldiers slept in the fortifications, and Han Fei was in a daze in the tent, and he didn't sleep very well.

The herd still did not attack, but only surrounded the camp, and it can be seen from the drone screen that the nearest beasts are still spinning around five hundred meters away, emitting bursts of screams. The range of firearms loaded by the vigilant robot is two kilometers away, but the warning range is generally set at two hundred meters, and if the beast herd attacks, there is enough time to wake everyone up.

Zhou Yixing's voice suddenly came out of the earphones:

"Come and see, Zhang Wei seems to be going to die."

When Qin Tian heard this, he immediately ran into the supply station, Zhou Yixing was standing beside him at a loss, and Zhang Anning stood a little farther away calmly with his hands crossed.

Qin Tian stepped forward to take a look, only to see that the flesh near the wound had begun to rot, the yellow-brown pus seeped out from the bandage, there was only a slight rise and fall in his chest, his breathing was very weak, and his face was bloodless.

Zhou Yixing is just a part-time team doctor, and he usually bandages the wound or something, but when he encounters this strange symptom, there is nothing he can do. I had to reclean the wound, and at this time the wound could not even be sutured, sprayed with hemostatic healing spray, had to be forcibly bandaged and injected with some strong antibiotics and nutrient solutions. There is only so much he can do, and the rest can only be resisted by his own body.

Because of the shortage of manpower, Zhou Yixing also went out to guard after treating his wounds. Zhang Anning was the only one left in the supply station. He thought for a moment, walked up to Zhang Wei, stretched out his right hand, and lightly covered the wound.

Under the bandage, I saw that the originally rotten flesh slowly dried up, and the pus coagulated into a scab, and in just five minutes, his right hand slowly trembled, and sweat began to break out on his forehead, as if he was under a lot of pressure.

"Sure enough, it's the same energy."

He withdrew his right hand and muttered, but no one could hear him........

.............

"Get ready to fight! Get ready for battle! ”

Han Fei, who was asleep, was awakened by a shout, and when he saw that the time was already more than four o'clock in the morning, he hurriedly got up.

Outside, the four of them had already taken refuge behind the fortifications, and through the drone footage, it could be seen that in the southwest direction, three huge beasts were walking towards the camp. This beast resembles a large rhinoceros, more than two meters tall, and unlike a rhinoceros, it has a ring of bone around its neck, and it looks like it is running with a shield on its head, and another small beast follows behind, as if it understands the power of human firearms and does not take the lead easily.

The few people who were active in their minds already understood that from the previous Wai Sanque Yi to the current Butan coordination, there were indeed people controlling this group of beasts behind.

Fortunately, at the moment, it seems that the number of enemy "tanks" is not large, only three. It was only possible to concentrate on attacking in one direction, which slightly relieved the pressure of firepower. And the bad news is that there is a small mound in the southwest, although the enemy is seen from the drone, and now it cannot be attacked.

The enemy is coming!

The speed of the beast herd was not fast, but the short distance of more than a thousand meters was also fleeting, Han Fei did not hide to the supply station, but ran to the command platform, staring intently at the picture.

Finally, the moment the beasts emerged from the small mound, the alert robot took the lead in firing,

"Tutu Tu Tu ....... Tutu Tu Tu ....."

The small mound more than 100 meters away was instantly covered in dust, and beasts from other directions also took advantage of the situation to besiege it, and the four vigilance robots worked together to calculate the best shooting plan, and the gunfire was incessant.

The four members of the corps had no time to care about the beasts in other directions, and all of them shot at the beasts in the direction of the mound.

"Dadada....... Under the suppression of powerful firepower, the speed of the three-headed rhinoceros slowed down, but in addition to the 12.7mm machine gun carried by the alert robot that can cause some damage, several people's assault rifles and squad machine guns hit the rhinoceros beast, and the bullet actually entered the flesh only a few centimeters, and it was stuck on the surface of the skin.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Qin Tian was lying on the firing position, and the bullets of the SCR-01-F precision shooting rifle accurately hit the small eyes of the rhinoceros, and twenty 7.62mm bullets poured out in thirty seconds, and the rhinoceros beast in front struggled for a while, and then fell to the ground.

At this time, there were still two rhino beasts, and there were more than a dozen beasts following behind, but they were only more than a hundred meters away from the camp.

Qin Tian concocted according to the law, and after he killed a rhino beast again, the beast herd was already approaching the fifty-meter cordon, with the speed of that kind of beast, fifty meters was just an instant, and everyone present was estimated to have no enemy after getting close.

"Prepare to retreat, retreat to the supply depot!" Qin Tian yelled as he reloaded.

Han Fei hurriedly got up and walked towards the gate of the supply station, at this time he suddenly felt a heat in his back, and when he looked back, his eyes suddenly widened, revealing an incredible expression.

I saw Zhang Anning standing on a shooting position, his hands in the shape of a sky, holding a fireball with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters, and the special device on his left and right hands emitted a dazzling white light, as if he was injecting energy into the fireball, and the fireball became more and more dazzling, like a small sun. Then he put his hands on his right abdomen and pushed forward, and the fireball flew towards the beasts at an unslow speed.

The remaining small beasts in the herd have jumped out of the rhinoceros and pounced on the camp in irregular routes from different directions!

"Boom!"

After a huge roar, everyone had to close their eyes to block the dazzling bright light, in addition to the gunshots, they also heard Zhang Anning next to him shouting in a low voice:

"Flame! Burst! Technique! ~”

Before he could open his eyes, Du Zhengfang, who was holding an assault rifle, heard Han Fei exclaim loudly:

"Be careful!"

At this moment, in the system panel, the progress of the bloodline ability [Star Pupil] has reached 100%!

As if in slow motion, Han Fei saw clearly that the beast covered in blood had already pounced in front of Du Zhengfang, and Du Zhengfang subconsciously raised his gun.

"Dadada....... Da-da-da...."Blue flames erupted from the muzzle of the gun.
