Chapter 71 Danger Zone

The resumption of operation of the No. 6 foundation and the reconstruction of the ecological park are progressing relatively smoothly, which also swept away Zhao Longhai's worries.

Yang Fan did not accept other tasks in the past half a month, but the brief reunion with Li Na was ended by a bad news.

One morning, he suddenly received an urgent order from Zhao Longhai to return to the headquarters immediately.

Team E went to Base 3 to carry out a mission and suddenly lost contact, and there was no news from all 50 members of the team.

The reason why Zhao Longhai sent all the members of Team E was because the area around Base 3 was the most active area for the three bone worms.

Most of the trioskeletal worms transported from the planet Hort to Earth came from there, and now the situation has changed so that an entire team has been dispatched.

They were tasked with observing the movement of the Triosteopathy while patrolling Base 3, but just this morning Command lost contact with all members.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Zhao Hailong was transferred back to Yang Fan and sent him to the field to reconnoitre.

The loss of contact with all team members at the same time is most likely due to a failure in radio communications, but it is not ruled out that they will be attacked by the Zerg.

Zhao Hailong judged that even if he was attacked by the Zerg, it was impossible to lose contact at the same time, and he was worried that the spacecraft was malfunctioning.

Although both are located on the equator, they are thousands of kilometers apart.

If the ship breaks down and cannot return, it will cause a shortage of supplies for a long time, and the climate in that area is very harsh and it is a desert area.

"Yang Fan, I now order you to take a group of members of Team A to the No. 3 base immediately to merge with Team E as soon as possible to find out the reason."

Zhao Longhai immediately gave the order.

"Yes! I'm sure I'll do it well, but I don't need to take that many people with me. ”

"Tell me who you need."

"I'll take two team members and give me one more technician."

Zhao Hailong thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, you can choose the team members, and as for the technical personnel, then send Zhao Lang to carry out the task with you." ”

mentioned that Zhao Lang's status in Zhao Hailong's mind is definitely not low, he is only twenty-five years old this year, but he is a super computer master, and he is also proficient in the maintenance of various complex instruments.

He is definitely a top talent in the entire fleet, and Zhao Longhai sent him to see that he attaches great importance to this operation.

As for the two team members, Yang Fan already has a number in his heart, among which Zhou Tian is indispensable, and there is also a female team member named Nasha.

Nasha graduated from the Army Academy of the Military Department with a reconnaissance major, and her all-round quality is also very good.

After receiving the task, Yang Fan immediately led people to the No. 3 base by spaceship, and this time it was Zhou Tian who sat in the cockpit.

In order to prevent the Zerg from sneaking up, he also brought three KR1 mechas.

The three of them are very familiar with the same team, but Zhao Lang is the first time they have met, and they didn't expect this guy to be familiar with him as soon as he got on the spaceship.

Overcoming technical difficulties, researching supercomputers, and upgrading the mothership system, he brags about his achievements along the way.

Nasha sat next to her and her ears were almost audible, but this thing was not tired of it.

In the end, I felt bored to see that no one was "cooperating" with him.

"If the E team spacecraft breaks down this time, it's all on me, and you can just be responsible for finding someone."

"What do you think you were sent here for, do you expect you to deal with bugs?" Nasha said directly.

"I'm disgusting to look at those bugs, so if you run into them, I'll promise not to run away."

When Yang Fan heard this, he didn't expect that the other party could not only brag, but also have a thick skin.

"It shouldn't be that simple for all members of Team E to lose contact, and then we have to act at the opportunity." He said.

"It's still our boss who is far-sighted, but I really hope to meet a bug, and it's best to meet a worm king, and then I can catch him alive." Zhou Tian's voice rang out.

"Shut your crow's mouth, just a few of us still want to deal with the insect king, I think you want to be crazy about bugs." Nasha was unceremonious.

A few people began to chat on the spaceship, and the atmosphere became lively.

Due to a powerful sandstorm on the way, they arrived at their destination nearly two hours later than planned.

Base 3 was nowhere near as large as Base 6, and there were not many people stationed there before it was destroyed, with a single squad of twenty soldiers.

Their main task is to capture the excellent varieties of three-bone worms, which are then put in cages waiting to be transported back to Earth.

The ship circled around the area above the base several times, but no human figure was found, and the strange three-bone worm disappeared.

Previously, the three-bone insects could be seen everywhere in the vicinity of the base for dozens of miles, Yang Fan frowned, such an abnormal sign made him feel very suspicious.

The spacecraft landed on the landing platform, and the four men walked out wearing protective masks.

Through the investigation of the scene, the base was indeed destroyed by the Zerg, but no traces of Group E's battle were found.

Since the Zerg had been here, they also raised their guard, and the four of them cautiously followed the passage directly into the base.

There was a dead silence inside, and no suspicious signs were found, and when they reached the center, they saw a large deep hole in the ground appear in front of them.

Yang Fan took the lead in running over to take a closer look, the diameter of the deep hole was more than ten meters, and it was pitch black below, and there was no bottom to be seen.

"Team Yang, this hole is not man-made, it should be some kind of giant bug."

Nasha came to a conclusion after some observation.

"Bugs! Could it be a worm king? Zhou Tian couldn't help but be surprised.

Yang Fan has also encountered several species of the Zerg since he came to Planet Hott.

Iron beetles, octopus, slime beetles, etc., but judging from this hole, they are not at all responsible for them, and they are directly out of the ground.

"Let's go, let's go to the other exit and find the other team members first."

He said as he headed straight ahead, followed by the others.

When I came to the next exit, I made a new discovery, only to see traces of vehicle pressure everywhere on the sand outside, and it was not difficult to identify it as the A3 armored car.

Clear ruts stretched into the distance, and there were three of them.

"Looks like they should have gone after the bug in an armored vehicle." Yang Fan said.

"Even if they should have reported in advance after the bugs, why did they all lose contact?" Zhou Tian asked.

Yang Fan couldn't explain this problem, so it was very likely that they didn't have time to report it to the headquarters when the incident happened suddenly.

"Get on the ship, let's follow the rut!"

The four of them boarded the spaceship and flew low in the direction of the rut for about ten minutes, when a huge basin appeared in front of them, and weathered boulders could be seen everywhere around it.

When the spaceship entered the sky above the basin, the scene was embarrassing, and I saw countless three-bone insects divided into several colonies and crowded in all directions.

The trioskeletal worms have always been timid, but none of them fled in the face of the arrival of the spaceship, and they all gathered together and howled incessantly.

Yang Fan was no stranger to this howl, because when he was on Earth, he had dealt with the three-bone worm all day long, and it was a sound of fear.
