The exploration operation had unconsciously lasted for two days, and more than half of the supplies they had brought with them had been used, and at most one more day of perseverance, everyone had to return. But in the past two days, nothing has been found, except for the burial of nearly half of the personnel, there is no gain at all, which makes everyone's morale very low. Coupled with what happened in the underground lake, there was a certain disagreement in the team, and the atmosphere was even more depressing!

Compared to others, the morning flat days are much better. In the team's internal communication channel, teammates interact with him more and more frequently. In addition to often making fun of him, he also taught him a little experience and skills from time to time, which benefited him a lot. But during this period, Chenping unexpectedly found that the members of the other two teams actually showed some hostility towards him, which made him very puzzled. However, he was on a mission at this time, and he had no intention of delving into it.

"What the hell is this?" A mercenary rubbed the silvery-white substance stuck to the mecha vigorously, and muttered to himself with an impatient face.

"This is a variant of alien energy substance, as long as it doesn't get on your body, there will be no problem, so don't take it too seriously!" Then a flat voice explained.

"You have to be careful, this kind of alien energy substance is a very dangerous thing for you without a star beast!" A special reminder from the iron wolf sounded in Chenping's transmitter.

"I see!" Chenping reluctantly responded. Although he was luckier than those stragglers and was officially cared for by the Iron Wolf, his strength was definitely the lowest in the entire team, because he was too young to even awaken the Star Beast. As is the case now, the alien energy, although terrifying, is only a little troublesome to others, but it is a deadly existence for him. Star Beast ...... As long as you awaken the Star Beast, then everything will never be the same again! Just thinking of the ninth-level star stripes on his body, he felt like he was pressing against a mountain, and even his breathing became difficult.

The team continued to advance some distance, and the people were shocked to find that they had reached the end of the road, and there was no more way. After walking for two and a half days, many companions were buried, but in the end, they got such a result, and everyone couldn't help but hold their anger in their hearts. But at this time, the iron wolf did not give the order to return, but called up a location map and carefully guessed where everyone was now.

"Gophers, in this direction!" After determining the position, the iron wolf opened his mouth and commanded the gopher.

"Look at me!" The gopher's mecha driller immediately transformed, changed from a war beast to a drill truck, and drilled into the rock formation in the direction pointed by the iron wolf.

The Gopher's mecha is still an exclusive mecha, which is far superior to ordinary standard mechas. However, the speed of drilling in this rock formation was far worse than expected, and it took nearly half a day to drill only two or three miles away. Iron Wolf confirmed through the map positioning, and found that such a work process did not help the task at all, so he was ready to inform the gopher to stop drilling, and planned to return here, so as not to waste time and energy. It's just that at this time, there was a sudden "boom" on the rock wall behind him, which startled everyone. And as they looked in the direction of the explosion, a long, silvery-white serpentine monster crawled out of the cavern that had exploded. What surprised everyone even more was that the figure of the mecha appeared on the opposite side of the cave, and it was another team of the exploration team that appeared in front of them.

"Attack!" The iron wolf was the first to react and immediately gave the order to attack.

"Boom, boom, boom......" As soon as the iron wolf's words fell, a chaotic burst of artillery fire immediately drowned the monster inside. It's just that the artillery fire has just begun to attack, followed by the curses of the teammates on the opposite side. It turned out that this side attacked in a hurry, and a lot of firepower spread to the teammates on the opposite side, causing accidental damage in an instant.

Iron Wolf saw that the mercenaries on his side were so unbearable, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart. But he also knew that scolding at this time could not solve the problem, so he had no choice but to attack the monster that was messing in while commanding. It's just that the monster doesn't know what it is, and its body is unusually hard, almost to the extent that it can't be injured by artillery fire. I saw it struggling desperately under the fire of everyone, looking like it was in pain, but it was not injured in the slightest, which made everyone angry.

"Ceasefire, melee!" Seeing that the cannon fire had no effect on the monster, the iron wolf immediately ordered a ceasefire, and then pounced with the gray cat, the lizard and others, raising the laser sword and iron claw in his hand and stabbing at the monster.

While everyone was besieging the monster, Chenping's situation was miserable! The monster broke into just behind him, and when the explosion occurred, he just blasted it out, and a large hole was broken in the back of the mecha, and even the driver's compartment was affected. When he came to his senses, he found that the emergency survival equipment in the driver's compartment had been opened, and the damaged driver's compartment had been repaired. While congratulating himself for picking up a life, there was a tingling sensation in his body, and when Chenping looked down to check, he found that there were multiple small holes in the protective clothing on his body, and a little bit of silver-white spots appeared on the skin, and the root of the numbness was these foreign silver-white alien energy substances.

"Is the body infected?" Chenping smiled wryly. He was really afraid of something, what he was most afraid of was this strange energy of unknown origin, but he was the first to be infected with it!

Chenping forced himself to calm down and carefully observe the situation of the spots, and found that the silver-white spots gradually began to spread, and the spots became larger and larger. He touched it lightly, and found that the silver spot was like a cast of iron, and there was a sound of "dangdang" under the tap, and the strangest thing was that his body was not abnormal except for a tingling sensation, as if this silver-white alien energy would not hurt him at all!

"It's okay!" At that moment, the voice of the mechanical monkey rang out from the transmitter.

"It's okay, it's just that my skin is a little infected!" Chenping replied truthfully.

"Your mech is not badly damaged, the cockpit and mech have been simply repaired and are barely usable. As for the infection, you don't have to worry too much, there is a star pattern and xenomorph energy, the damage to the body will not be too great, just treat it slowly after returning to the spaceship! The calm voice of the mechanical monkey calmed Chenping's heart a lot, and his mood quickly calmed down.

By the time Chenping's mech got back on its feet, the battle was basically over. That monster was pierced through the head by Iron Wolf and the others with iron claws and laser swords, and it couldn't die anymore! As soon as the battle on this side ended, there was a desperate scream on the other side of the cave, followed by a series of cries for help and escape. When the people on the iron wolf's side ran to the hole that had been blown open and saw the situation on the other side, they fled back in a panic. Then Chenping and the others saw an unbelievable scene, and one by one the remaining human figures floated over from the entrance of the cave.

"This ...... This is ......" A mercenary reacted half a beat slowly, and was pounced on by the human figure floating in the front, and the thing actually regarded the protective shield of the mecha as nothing, and rushed directly into the cockpit, and then a miserable scream sounded, and the mecha fell to the ground weakly, and it couldn't move anymore!

"Wraith Guard? Run! Iron Wolf and the other old mercenaries recognized the roots of these monsters at a glance, and led the team back without saying a word.

Chenping had just run a few steps when he felt a tightness under his feet, and the beetle shell actually stopped abruptly. Immediately afterwards, a miserable white head reached into the driver's compartment and looked at Chenping with an expressionless face. Chenping was so frightened that his hair stood on end, his body squeezed back desperately, his eyes staring at the monster in front of him in horror, and the feeling of death really befell him. It's just that just when Chenping thought he was going to die, the monster slowly passed by him, as if he didn't see him.

At the moment when he was still alive, Chenping collapsed in the driver's cab. At this time, all the energy of the armor had been devoured by the monster, and he fell to the ground weakly. Chenping carefully examined his body and found that the infected spots had spread all over his body at this time, but there was nothing unusual other than that. So he immediately took out a brand new set of protective clothing from the side of the cockpit and put it on, and slammed open the door and walked outside the mecha.

At this time, except for the Wraith Guard who wandered aimlessly in the cave, there was only one mecha left, and no one else. Strangely, when Chenping came out, the Soul Guards acted as if they hadn't seen him, and let him walk freely in the vicinity. After Chenping found out that the Resentful Soul Guard really ignored him, he immediately ran to a nearby mecha and opened the driver's compartment to see the situation of the driver inside, but unfortunately the person inside had already turned into a dry corpse and died too much to die anymore. After checking several mechas, all the pilots in them died without exception, which made Chenping feel a heart jam. When he thought that in this ghost place, he was afraid that he was the only one left, and he couldn't help but panic for a while!

Picking up a tactical blade next to the corpse of a mech pilot, Chenping took a deep breath, calmed his chaotic thoughts, and boldly walked towards the cave on the other side. Chenping had no intention of returning the way he came, because he believed that the rescue team would arrive soon, so it was far safer to stay where he was than to return alone! Chenping stopped next to the huge serpentine monster corpse near the entrance of the cave, saw its silver-white skin, and then looked at the silver spots on his body, and a trace of realization appeared in Chenping's heart - it seemed that it was this infected silver spot that saved his life.

As soon as he crossed the entrance of the cave, Chenping saw the ruins of a ruined city revealing its magnificent figure in the faint glow, which made his eyes light up. Just thinking of his current situation, Chenping quickly came back to his senses. Then he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a makeshift camp not far from the cave, which was obviously a temporary camp for another team, and there must have been a lot of supplies in it, so he ran over to the camp and rummaged through the camp for daily necessities.
