From the first encounter with the stinging snake, the next encounter with the stinging snake one after another, but when the army is prepared, it is difficult for the stinging snake to cause much damage to the convoy.

Every time a wave of insects hits the convoy, the first wave must be a round of targeted bombardment to kill the stinging snakes, and then the remaining insects and beasts are not enough to trouble.

For a whole day, the team traveled nearly 100 kilometers along the cliff, crossed a valley where no water dried up, and finally came to a mountain range, where the beacon was located.

The beacon was left behind by the previous exploration team, and since the last exploration team entered it, contact was directly cut off in less than a few hours.

Originally, the exploration team was fine when they entered, sending back messages every half an hour, but after the sixth hour, they suddenly lost contact, and suddenly lost, and the last time the information sent back was still normal, so this made the military department feel very strange, so there was a second exploration, that is, to investigate the situation of the previous exploration team, and to support that team by the way.

But strangely, as soon as I entered this world, I immediately found the location of the previous team's beacon, which was in the mountains ahead.

The beacon position has not moved, and the call of the task force has not been answered, which has cast a shadow over the hearts of those in the know.

Well, Ye Qing is one of the people who know, and the entire task force, including the reincarnation, is known to the six of them, so there is a shadow in his heart, so that his emotions are not very high along the way.

Especially as he got closer to the target location, the frequency of attacks began to decrease, and his uneasiness became stronger and stronger.

There are only two possibilities for this situation, one is that many of the nearby insects and beasts have been killed by the previous team, so the closer they get, the fewer they become. The other is much more terrifying, that is, the previous team has already died, and there are traps placed nearby to lure them forward.

This is not impossible, there are so many zergs here, it is impossible to be born, there must be hives and brain worms and the like, brain worms are not inferior to humans in intelligence, and it is entirely possible to use these traps to lay traps.

It's just that he guessed so, but he couldn't do anything, his guess had no basis, he couldn't be believed, so he could only be careful himself.

As the team entered the mountain range, the frequency and number of insect swarms that came to attack became lower and smaller, and it was not until more than an hour later that a wave appeared, and even long-range attacking insect beasts such as stinging snakes did not appear.

Upon crossing a mountain peak, the location of the beacon appeared in front of them, a small base built in a valley between several peaks.

That's right, the first expedition team was equipped with a large number of engineers and materials, and a small base was built here, with walls and defenses, and the entire area was almost two hundred meters in diameter.

From a distance, the base seemed to be functioning, but there was no one inside, at least from the outside, and the entire valley was silent, except for the rustle of the wind through the grains of sand.

Ensign Went asked the team to stop outside the small base, thought about it, and sent a team of ten people into the small base to explore, while the others waited outside.

Seeing the ten plot characters enter the small base, Ye Qing watched them enter the unclosed gate, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

After thinking about it, his eyes turned to other places, but he saw many traces of battle, there were many broken places on the walls of the base, and there were still some remnants of insect corpses on the ground, but this did not mean anything, it could only mean that the base had been attacked by the insect tide, and did not see that the base had been captured.

Looking further away, there are several barren mountains of several hundred meters, the resources of this world are estimated to have been completely exhausted, and there is no green in sight, several mountains are barren mountains, and not a single grass can be seen.

There were also some bullet holes and traces of explosions on the mountain, but there were no insect corpses, it is estimated that the aftermath of the attack was swept away, which is normal.

On the surface, he couldn't find anything strange, Ye Qing shook his head, and wondered if he was thinking too much about it for a while.

At this time, the ten people had already come out of the base, and the captain didn't know what to report to Ensign Vent, who thought for a while and waved his hand to let the convoy enter the base.

Entering the base, Ye Qing was invited to a meeting by Second Lieutenant Wente before he could inspect the situation at the base, which made Ye Xing, who was with him, very envious.

The meeting was held in a building in the center of the base, which is five stories tall, the tallest building on the base and presumably the command center of the base.

There were seven people participating in the meeting, in addition to the six military ranks above corporal, there was also a soldier who seemed to be a record clerk, Ensign Wente and everyone else arrived, with a wave of his hand, a virtual light screen appeared out of thin air, on which was a map of the base and its surroundings, the center was the base, the surrounding terrain was clear, and the farthest distance had been explored hundreds of miles away.

Ye Qing carefully recorded the map while listening to Ensign Went:

"This base was established by the last exploration team, and it looks like it was just established, but there is no one in it, and there is no record of them leaving, so it can be said that it disappeared out of thin air."

Speaking of this, Ensign Vent's tone became solemn, and he said:

"There are no traces of battle in the base, which means that they were not killed by insects and beasts breaking through the base, and the gate of the base is open, indicating that they are themselves, leaving and abandoning the base."

Speaking of this, he frowned, and was puzzled:

"I wonder why they left and abandoned the base, and didn't leave a clue to leave."

Several of the plot characters and officers didn't speak, they all looked pensive, and so did Ye Qing, not that he didn't want to say anything, but he himself couldn't figure out what was going on.

After a long time when no one spoke, Ensign Went had no choice but to dismiss the meeting, and finally said:

"Don't sleep too deeply at night, and leave more people for vigil."

It's going to be dark, it's going to be dark when they enter the base, the sun is going to go west, it is estimated that it will be dark in less than two hours, and it is estimated that there will be insects and beasts attacking the base at that time.

It is much safer to have a base vigil, there are monitors and detectors outside the base, as long as there are insects and beasts approaching, they will find and issue an alarm, and there is no need to use manpower to keep vigil in person.

Ye Qing did not sleep on the personal combat platform this time, but slept on the fourth floor of the central command center of the base, and he could see the entire base when he looked out the window.

Lying by the window, he rested one foot on the windowsill and put his hands behind his head, thinking about the reason why everyone in this small base had disappeared.

Thinking about it, he just couldn't figure out how these people disappeared, and there was a thick layer of steel under the base, and it was impossible for any bugs to come out of the ground.

That's right, he would never believe that the people in the base left on their own initiative, he always felt that there was another force to make them disappear, but he just couldn't think of anything.

At this time, there was a commotion below, and it was a group of soldiers drinking and chatting there, including a group of reincarnators.

The reincarnation always likes to go into camp and drink and chat with the soldiers, which is also a way to increase the relationship, he took a look, and among the people who drank included two officers, it is estimated that they are attacking these two officers, to see if they can benefit from it.

Every plot character in the reincarnation space can theoretically get some benefits, generally speaking, the higher the status or the more powerful the status, the more benefits will be obtained from it, but the benefits will not be given to you in vain, and the relationship between the reincarnation and the plot character will reach a certain point to obtain.

It is easy to get closer to the characters in the plot with low strength or low status, and the stronger the strength, the more difficult it is to get closer, and sometimes some difficult tasks need to be completed.

The status of these soldiers and officers is not high, they don't need to do many difficult tasks, they can get closer to each other bit by bit, and when they reach a certain point later, they can take tasks from them and get benefits.

Originally, Ye Qing relied on the official rank of corporal to build a good relationship, but he didn't have this idea.

The main thing is that the benefits of this world are not suitable for him on the one hand, on the other hand, the current situation is too weird, he is not in the mood for this, and he is not in the mood for this until he finds out how the exploration team in front of the base suddenly disappeared.

It was completely dark, and the sky was full of stars, proving that this was an unnamed planet, and the lights in the base were transparent, and the outer walls of the base were brightly lit for hundreds of meters, and even a mouse could not sneak in.

Ye Qing looked outside and fell asleep unconsciously, originally thinking about his thoughts, but he was fine, so he fell asleep in a daze, until...

A terrible alarm woke him up, and he subconsciously leaned in front of the window to see that the base had been surrounded by insects and beasts.

Outside the base wall, there were overwhelming insects and beasts flocking to the outer wall of the base, and a terrible alarm sounded in the base, and the voice of Ensign Went echoed in the base:

"The base is under attack, please all enter combat positions!"

"The base is under attack, please all enter combat positions!"

"The base is under attack, please all enter combat positions!"

With the sound of an alarm, everyone woke up from their slumber, picked up their weapons, and rushed to the outer walls of the base.

Ye Qing quickly rushed to the outer wall of the base, and before he could attack, he felt a tingling of his scalp, and subconsciously lay down, and immediately a strong acid pillar passed through him, if he didn't lie down, this blow just hit his body.

A lot of stinging snakes, just a short moment he saw dozens of green strong acid pillars spraying towards the base, and a few unlucky eggs were sprayed, and they immediately fell to the ground screaming and struggling frantically.

The base immediately returned fire, and there was a small ion cannon at intervals on the base wall, which opened fire at the same time after adjusting the angle, and immediately killed more than a dozen stinging snakes outside the city.

At night, the wind and sand are not as fierce as during the day, the visual distance is greatly increased, and under the light, you can see the overwhelming swarm of insects behind the sparse stinging snakes, and you can directly fire the cannon without detecting it first.

Ye Qing found a fixed heavy pulse machine gun, which was very similar to the six-barreled Gatling 100,000 years ago, but with eight tubes, eight ports that could fire bullets at the same time, and a larger caliber nozzle in the center, which could fire special shells, such as incendiary bombs, high-penetration shells and other special shells.
