Chapter 17: Allied Squads (2)
"But those creatures saw us from a distance and fled directly, it's not easy to catch us!" A soldier whispered with a laser gun on his shoulder. When fighting the undead, they will switch to kinetic rifles, but when facing such a planet, these allied soldiers still use laser guns. Only the Sniper still uses the Kinetic Rifle. After all, when there are a lot of particles in the air, some long-range shots are inferior to kinetic rifles.
"Just set a trap or something." One fighter was unimpressed. With their habits, it is not difficult for them to catch a few creatures, the difficult thing is how to communicate with them is the problem they need to worry about.
"How can I communicate with them?" The other fighter said this problem openly, after all, he knew it, but it was impossible not to communicate and figure out a way. Organisms in different environments and habits will produce different cultures and their own languages and scripts. Even some creatures on Earth mostly communicate with each other in their own way.
"Let's catch one first!" The captain was a little helpless. In their previous habits. It takes time to understand how a biota communicates. But what they lack now is time. The more time passes, the closer the time will be for Mo Ran and them to go back. Maybe I'll be back soon. In that case, they won't be able to complete their task. Although there is no punishment for not completing the task, the high commission is still worth sighing.
"If you really can't do it, just go there." The members of the squad are still very eager for commissions. They also have Type BX heavy armor on their bodies. If they are close to each other, there is a chance that they will stay here with a little calculation. Of course, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. It's better than not trying it out.
His idea was quickly agreed by all members, and then the allied team was sorted out at the landing place and walked in the direction of Mo Ran's team.
On the other side, Mo Ran and the others had already walked a long way, and the captain ordered to rest in place and replenish a little energy by the way. The so-called energy is a battlefield food that processes food in liquid form. It contains all the nutrients needed by the human body to keep the motorized infantry physically exhausted during combat.
They've taken about a dozen different samples along the way. Beneath the huge trees around it, there are many low shrubs and weeds. According to the original estimate, the surrounding trees should consume nutrients from the surrounding soil, making it difficult for weeds and shrubs to survive. But as far as they went, they saw a lot of low bushes and weeds.
Of course, these are according to the names of the earth. If you really want to describe the appearance of these shrubs and weeds, they should be withered yellow plants, which look more like they are withered. It's not like the verdant green of the earth. When harvested, the rhizomes of these plants are very tough. If you don't use a laser knife, you can't even cut it with a dagger.
"It's a peculiar plant, and the structure should be very different from what we know about plants." This is the conclusion reached in the Starport command. However, there is a conclusion. Better than nothing! They didn't know this, and if they did, Rogge would have said that it didn't make any sense at all, because they weren't on Earth. Then the structure of these plants must be very different from that of the earth. Whether or not it can even be called a plant is a question.
Of course, Mo Ran didn't know that in the dark corners around them, there were many pairs of eyes staring at them. It's just that they didn't act. Naturally, it cannot be observed by the surveillance camera on the blaster. And they also transmit all the actions of the upright two-legged beast in front of them to the distance. This transmission was a sound wave and a language that they could not hear.
Of course, the movements of the allies on the other side are also under the surveillance of those creatures. Human experience in this area is far from sufficient. The habitual human method of monitoring is still used. And what they don't know is. Over here. The number of those creatures is enormous. As long as the team lands, there are a large number of creatures watching.
"Oh, they use light. What an amazing power that is. A creature couldn't help but sigh when it saw a human using a laser sword.
"They also cut off the strands." The other creature was equally amazed. If it weren't for the fact that the two-legged beasts hadn't shown signs of spotting them now, they wouldn't be amazed here.
"What are they doing? It looks like it's plundering our resources. ”
"Why, if we plunder our resources, we won't just take that little bit." The other creature retorted. After all, after being able to think, each creature has its own mind. When faced with these unknown two-legged beasts, their views are also somewhat different.
After they were able to break the strand tree, which is the shrub in the eyes of humans. Those creatures had a certain fear of the two-legged beast in front of them. After all, it was something that none of the Hercules of their tribe could break. But the two-legged beasts broke it with light.
Naturally, the situation here also converged on the prophets of the Prophet's Temple. The prophet rarely showed a thoughtful look. By the will of the forest, these creatures are dangerous and have a high probability of bringing a lot of killing and looting.
This is a normal situation in the universe, but this time they are facing humans. Humans are only here for a simple mission. There is no intention of stationing and plundering here for a long time. But the Protoss fleet above the Red Ice Star brought about a different result.
Star sand is a relatively scarce resource in the entire universe, and the Protoss will naturally not give up. But because the human race is still on the Red Ice Star, and the team of the Protoss has not yet arrived. This mission gave the Protoss an unexpected reward.
"Alright. Let's move on! After the team leader saw that Rogge and the others were almost rested, he ordered to continue to set off. Soon, though, they received a signal from an allied squad not far away.
Before landing, the Jinghua had already communicated with the Allied Third Fleet. Because they don't know the situation on the Red Ice Star, the teams of the two sides will have certain means of communication to support each other.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the team leader stop, Rogge asked. "There is a squad of allies about ten kilometers to our left, who seems to be in some trouble, let's go over and help." The team leader frowned slightly and whispered. The Allied squad didn't say what kind of trouble it was in. But in the context of what they are facing, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly problematic.
"Could it be a local creature?" Killing Hall also stopped, and then asked softly. This is the most likely, so when the captain talks about it, the first thing that comes to his mind is this question.
"Probably not. Take the green worm habit on the Red Ice Star. The creatures here are still in the Stone Age. The rocks and sticks should not pose any threat to the allied squads wearing BX heavy armor. The squad leader hesitated. It was precisely because of this that he did not reply in the first place.
"So what do we do now?" Mo Ran asked. According to their rules, if an ally is attacked, they must go to the rescue. However, looking at the attitude of the team leader, it seems that there is no intention of going to the rescue.
"It's my own consideration, I don't know if it counts." The squad leader whispered, then looked at the people next to him. "If that Allied squad were the whole squad, there might not be any better way for them to get into trouble and the few of us. If you encounter any traps, you can only think of them as minor troubles, and you can't count them. After all, the protection ability of BX heavy armor is still very strong, and at most it will suffer a little loss. However, if the trouble there is big enough, they should send a message to all allies within a certain radius. Those squads from the allies should go to the rescue. ”
Speaking of which, Mo Ran and the others understood the captain's worries. Anything is possible here.
If the trouble is big enough, there should be someone else to help.
And at this time, the allied team that was heading to the direction of the Moran team also received the news. Naturally, they also received the distress signal from the allied team. And their captain also came to the same conclusion as the captain of the Moran team.
This wasn't a trap they had sent out to get the Moran team to go to. Rather, there are really squads from allies who send out messages for help.
"Let's go over and have a look! Anyway, it's also a dropway. The sniper in the team whispered. Mainly, they also don't know which squad is in what situation. If they had gone to the rescue now and observed the situation of that team, maybe they would have been able to avoid the same situation in the future.
The captain hesitated, then nodded in agreement with the sniper's idea. After all, it was a request for help from his own team, and he couldn't ignore it like Mo Ran's team.
Then their team rushed in the direction of the rescue team. And what they don't know is that there are fewer and fewer of those indigenous creatures around them. In the end, there wasn't even one.
"How did those two-legged beasts go to death?" The creatures whispered. They have an extraordinary instinct and are able to avoid the dangers that exist in abundance on Red Ice. But humans don't have it. Naturally, they don't stop it, they just watch from the sidelines.
Either way, the two-legged beasts were alien creatures, and life or death had nothing to do with them. However, this information was told to the Prophet, and after getting a lot of information about the two-legged beasts, there was no new news from the Prophet's side. Just let them keep watching.
