Chapter 135: Missing

In fact, he was very concerned, after encountering the gray and white xenomorph, he encountered the gray fog again, and he couldn't help but imagine the terrible mimetic xenomorph, for fear that the captain who had just gone out would change to a "person" after coming back.

However, he had no evidence, so he naturally did not make a statement, but just paid more attention to it, paying attention to its every move at any time.

The endless gray mist drifted through the forest, like countless ghosts haunting the surroundings, and when the soldiers wearing gas masks got out of the carriage and began to repair the railroad tracks in front of them, Xingdian stood at the front of the car, still watching the soldiers' movements.

There are about 30 soldiers involved in the maintenance mission, and the remaining more than 70 people are responsible for stationing the locomotive, not that the more people involved in the maintenance can speed up the process, more than 30 people are enough.

Chen Shi glanced at the figure a few times, and it seemed to be brought another trace of strangeness in the gray mist, and the soldiers in the stuffy work also knew the horror of the gray mist, and couldn't help but speed up their pace, and the gray mist driven by the body flowed rapidly, but it did not disperse, just like the smoke of a cigar lingering.

Xingdian looked a little sleepy, so he went back to the command room to rest for a while, 1214-B01's head hung down, and he was also dozing off with his head down, only Chen Shi was in good spirits and did not feel sleepy, but after paying attention for a long time, it was inevitable that he would be distracted.

What regained his mental attention was still a vague cry.

The corner of Chen Shi's eyes skimmed away from the direction of the source of the sound, and he immediately raised his vigilance, this voice was obviously not heard by him alone, and those busy soldiers also stopped their work one after another, and Su Ji, who was in command, immediately waved his hand and signaled everyone to grab their guns.

This cry was like a baby's cry, as if it was coming from a distant direction, and it seemed to be in the ear, and it was always impossible to distinguish the specific direction, so that the muzzles of many soldiers did not know where to look.

Probably only Chen Shi could notice the abnormality at the scene, he adjusted the night scene mode of the gamma suit to the thermal imaging mode, and immediately found that in the distant direction outside the car window, there seemed to be a creature emitting heat, coming towards this side.

But in the field of thermal imaging, the creature that emitted heat is not large, like a bird suspended in the air, is it really a bird?

The answer was quickly revealed by the stunned Chen Shi, it was not a bird, the black shadow of the behemoth was gradually approaching in the gray mist, and even those soldiers noticed the abnormality, and raised their guns in shock and retreated.

At a distance of about ten meters, the behemoth did not cause any huge shock, only the baby's cry kept ringing in his ears, so nervously guarded, he didn't dare to shout and shoot, he stood in place in fear and nervously, waiting for the gray mist to leave quietly.

"What the hell is that? Some xenomorph? Chen Shi was skeptical.

With such a huge size, he had only seen the devoured meat ball so huge before, but the movement caused by the flipping of the ghost thing was so great that it could not be so silent, only a creepy cry. What's more, there are so many "people" here, it's really that monster, how can you let it go easily?

Fortunately, the thing that was not easy to provoke at first glance should have passed by, and there was no attack on the steam locomotive and many soldiers, and soon, it stirred up the fog and disappeared into the distance, even when Chen Shi switched to thermal imaging mode, and could not be found again.

At this time, all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, even if they all held guns in their hands, but none of them would feel that guns brought a sense of security, the experience just now made them have a fear of forgetting to breathe, it is really since ancient times that the impression of "alien spirits" is too deep, even if with the development of the times and technological progress, most of the "alien spirits" are no longer their opponents, but this fear of "alien spirits" has been engraved in their bones, and it is difficult to change it.

Finding that the gray fog was really abnormal, Su Ji ordered loudly to speed up the repair, Chen Shi leaned against the window, just couldn't go down and watched them work, but it didn't take long for him to vaguely see a soldier next to Su Ji to report something, and couldn't help but move slightly, and the gamma suit immediately amplified the sound in the distance.

“…… Yes...... Two...... Missing. ”

Missing? Chen Shi was startled, wearing a gas mask, and he didn't know what expression Su Ji had, so he saw him stand in place for a while, continuing to let the soldiers around him be on guard, but he didn't say that he ordered him to look for the two missing soldiers.

"It's not a peaceful place......"

Chen Shi suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, walked over, and woke up 1214-B01, "Don't sleep here, go back to the command room first." ”

Returning to the command room with 1214-B01, Xingdian, who was very "majestic" before, actually hung on the carriage and fell asleep.

Speaking of which, Chen Shi found that Xingdian's civilization seems to have a very magical concept of sleeping and resting, not lying on the bed to rest like humans, but using some kind of attached tool to hang themselves on the "wall" to rest, are they treating themselves as clothes?

Chen Shi wanted to complain about this.

"Ahem."

Chen Shi coughed and woke up Xingdian, who had fallen asleep.

"What's wrong?"

Xingdian looked at him suspiciously.

"Two of you just disappeared......"

"Missing?"

"I don't know much about the specific situation, I'm afraid you'll have to ask the commander."

Chen Shi only heard fragmented words, and couldn't give Xingdian a specific answer.

Xingdian didn't say much, untied the lock, and walked in the direction of the front of the car.

After a while, it returned, "It's not two missing, it's four." ”

"Four?"

Chen Shi was surprised.

"When I went to ask just now, I counted them, and two more were missing."

Xingdian, under the gas mask, spoke in a serious tone: "The soldiers are very afraid, the maintenance efficiency has been reduced a lot, and if they continue to come a few more times, they are afraid that the team will collapse." ”

You're going to have to do it a few more times before you break down...... Changing to a normal human team, inexplicably four people around him are missing, and there is no way to do it at all, right, you have come a few more times not at all because of the pressure on your heart, and the team that is purely missing is no one.

Chen Shi complained in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to find a way: "Can you find the reason?" Did the 'aliens' do it? ”

"It's very likely."

Xingdian had a headache: "There are too many types of 'alien spirits', and we can't be sure which kind of 'alien spirit' is behind the ghosts. ”

"So, can you do a carpet leveling?"

Chen Shi's eyes lit up and he came up with a good idea.

"What do you mean by carpet leveling?" Xingdian was puzzled.

"It's just that the cannons on the steam locomotive attack the surroundings indiscriminately, I think even if there are 'alien spirits' hiding, they can't continue to hide, right?"

Chen Shi said solemnly.
