Chapter 342: Gathering the Team
"In that case, are you planning to land on this planet?" Derek of the United States asked, "I don't think that's a good idea." ”
It is true that almost the entire planet is now occupied by the Zerg, and even from the planet's orbit, the planet is almost completely covered by a fungus blanket.
This was more dangerous than any place Qiao Lu had been before, and what awaited them was likely to be hundreds of millions of biters, as well as more unimaginable high-level Zerg troops.
I'm afraid that nine deaths and one life are not enough to describe the difficulty of this mission, and it is very likely that this is a journey with no return.
Even so, Qiao Lu insisted: "Someone has to do something, no matter how dangerous it is." The distress signal on this planet is the only clue we have, and if we miss this opportunity, we don't know how to act next. ”
The quest to find the Keystone Fragment aside, if the threat on the doorstep is not cleared, then the Wandering Earth will never be able to gain a foothold in this StarCraft plane.
Even if the expeditionary force is directly attacked, scouts must be sent to the planet to understand the situation first, and it is impossible to let the troops land and fight without knowing anything.
Luo Feng proposed: "In this case, let's rely on the biochemical forces to investigate, just like entering the underwater rift in the Pacific Ocean before, at least it can ensure personal safety." ”
However, Dr. Grace raised his hand and spoke: "I must remind you that this time we are facing an interstellar civilization that is extremely good at biotechnology, and even the evolution of their entire race is based on the assimilation of other creatures, I really can't imagine what the biochemical virus will become after being absorbed and assimilated by them, it may be even more dangerous than the swarm itself!" ”
Indeed, absorbing and assimilating the genes of other races is what the Zerg are best at, and the murderous and terrifying creatures in the swarm are actually obtained by assimilating other creatures and modifying their genes in the long process of development.
For example, the jumping worm was originally just a small and ferocious dune runner, the stinging snake was originally a tame herbivore sloth beast, and the cockroach was based on an inconspicuous acidic slug that lived in the humid environment of the deep Gaxas Mountains.
Under this premise, if the Zerg are allowed to obtain a biochemical virus that has a miraculous effect on humans, whether it is a T virus, a G virus, or a C virus, the consequences will be unimaginable, and even more terrible than a direct Zerg invasion.
"In that case, would someone like me who has undergone the T-virus transformation also be in danger?" Qiao Lu asked her.
Dr. Grace shook her head and said, "Don't worry about this, the reason why the Perfect T virus modification is called perfect is because it erases the infectivity of the biochemical virus to the greatest extent. In addition, your current physical abilities are mainly derived from gene locks rather than T viruses, and if you still have a contagious T virus in your body, we will never let you come into contact with other people. ”
If there is such a risk, Qiao Lu will not rashly accept any biochemical transformation.
It's just that now, it is true that the biochemical forces cannot be used as death squads to land on the planet.
"So what to do? Ordinary clones or mechanical soldiers can't take on such a difficult task. "said the representative of Russia, Vasily.
If it is to ensure the safety of the wandering earth, and when there is very much time, it is feasible to constantly send drones to explore the planet slowly.
However, the current situation is that the received distress signal is so weak that it is not even possible to communicate in both directions, and I am afraid that it will not be able to support it for a long time.
In this case, the longer the time drags on, the more likely it is that nothing will be found, and it is obviously not feasible to use cannon fodder to slowly open the way.
Even on the contrary, the Wandering Earth needs an elite team to rush to the location where the distress signal was sent as soon as possible to see if there is a chance to find a few survivors to return.
If you miss this opportunity to contact the Rangers, you don't know when the next time will be.
Qiao Lu thought about it carefully and said, "Time is tight and the stakes are high, so let's not think that we can be free of danger. I'm here to gather the team, and this operation has to pay off! ”
After much deliberation, everyone else agreed with Qiao Lu's idea. The Wandering Earth needs to find a clue to break the game as soon as possible, otherwise it may be a swarm that will come directly to the door later.
"What are you going to do?" Luo Feng asked Qiao Lu.
"I'm going to select members of the investigation team, and at the same time go to other planes to find some foreign reinforcements to come back, and form a team to complete this mission."
"Looks like you've got a choice."
"Sort of."
After the meeting, Qiao Lu immediately began to prepare, the first thing he found was of course the Wandering Earth Investigation Group, and this kind of team combat mission was originally within the scope of the investigation team's responsibilities.
He came to the training base of the Investigation Group, which was also on high alert due to the Zerg invasion that had just occurred, and all the personnel canceled their leave and returned to the team urgently, in such an atmosphere, they were also aware that there might be some difficult tasks for them to carry out in the future.
The equipment of the investigation team is more elite than that of the ground defense force and the expeditionary force, mainly equipped with multi-functional steel suits with optical camouflage, and attached to a variety of support items such as biological force fields, nanohormones, and teleportation beacons.
Qiao Lu directly explained the situation to Liu Peiqiang, as an instructor in the investigation team, he naturally knew better than Qiao Lu who was the right candidate.
"It's not just about exploring the planet, it's about finding survivors and rescuing them, which is not an ordinary difficulty."
After listening to Qiao Lu's explanation, Liu Peiqiang said with some embarrassment, rescuing the survivors on a planet full of insects is completely an act of grabbing teeth.
"I understand, but that's the only clue at the moment, and I don't want to miss this opportunity." Qiao Lu said succinctly.
Liu Peiqiang also understood that Qiao Lu would not let the soldiers take risks in vain, and searching for the survivors of this planet must have a deep meaning.
He sighed slightly, and then said seriously: "Since it may be necessary to lead the survivors to evacuate, I think the number of participants in this operation should be about ten people, so that there will be enough manpower to deal with the battle, and at the same time ensure a certain degree of concealment." ”
Qiao Lu nodded and said, "I'm going to find a few foreign helpers from other planes, their abilities may come in handy, and the rest will be troubled for you to choose from the investigation team." ”
This operation may become a breakthrough in the main mission of StarCraft, and whether it can carve a way forward in this dangerous universe is up to you!
