The scientific research ship Daystar, in the vast cosmic space, after several space folding jumps. The www.biquge.info of the pen moved away from the confines of the human colonies far away, and ended up at the very edge of Orion's cantilever.

Although it has been more than 200 years since the Earth government began interstellar colonization, the Milky Way is too vast for human beings.

The area where the Daystar arrived this time was a new star system that an expedition team found in a random jump somewhere.

But just as the expedition was excited about the discovery, an all-out war broke out between humanity and the Covenant. So all the exploration and adventure tasks were stopped.

The human world began to concentrate all its forces into a fierce interstellar war with aliens. And the development of this newly discovered galaxy is not taken seriously by the government.

Large-scale battles followed, and the human forces were defeated by the Covenant. Many farland colonies fell one after another, so the development of this planet was put on hold indefinitely by the UNSC.

After all, in the face of an interstellar war that could wipe out the race if it fails, it is impossible for the UNSC to disperse manpower and material resources and establish a distant colony with little military value.

As a result, this new planet, which is about the size of the Earth, has never been set foot on it except for a very small number of scientific researchers.

This time, on the planet named Lanling Star, those scientists who stayed here discovered something, so they sent a communication to Zhiyuan Star to send a scientific research ship to support.

Although the UNSC senior management was not interested, they still sent the research ship Daystar to the remote Lanling Star. And a marine team of more than 100 people was sent on the ship, after all, the two scientists, Xiahou Lin and Qiu Yue, were also on it, and their safety must be protected.

Soon the Morning Star came to the orbit of the planet named Lanling Star, and at this moment, one-third of the land on this planet has turned into a white expanse.

The time of Lanling Star at the moment is exactly winter, and the annual heavy snow here will cover a third of the vast area of the land.

The scientific research ship that Xia Houlin and his party were riding on was about to land in the edge area covered by heavy snow. Although the snow is not as thick as in the frozen area, the temperature is around -10 degrees Celsius.

As the research ship slowly descended into the sparse snow, the scientists who were supposed to appear at the scene to greet them did not appear in the research station square on the ground at this moment.

At this time, the research ship also found that there was no response to the signals in the research station, and no one answered after the call.

For safety reasons, the research ship sent a small reconnaissance plane and began to carry out a careful reconnaissance of the area below. However, in the research station, except for a small amount of clotted blood, the researchers who stayed here did not see any of them.

Then a reconnaissance plane found several sharp claw marks on a large gate, as if they were forcibly caused by some kind of beast.

"No researchers have been found, and judging by the scratches on the gate, I am afraid that this place has been attacked by wild beasts." The captain of the scientific research ship looked at the picture sent back by the reconnaissance plane and made his own judgment.

I didn't expect that on such a planet, there would be dangerous carnivores. This is not something that anyone has encountered in the past colonization process.

In situations like these, troops must be sent in to sweep up. Aggressive indigenous creatures are driven out of the designated colony area.

Then the captain was ready to go, and everyone should not get off the ship until the situation was clear, so as not to encounter something dangerous. The research ship should also be lifted off as soon as possible, preferably in space orbit.

However, many scientists on the research ship have considerable opinions about the captain's orders. More than a dozen of their colleagues have been killed here, so it is important to find out what is going on here.

What's more, there are not all technicians on this research ship now. There are more than a hundred heavily armed Marines here, and even two tarantula mechs.

The firepower in the hands of such a group of soldiers, not to say that it is to destroy the beast, or to start a skirmish, is more than enough.

Watching those scientists and captains arguing about these things, Xia Houlin and Qiu Yue stood aside and watched the show. Once these scientists have decided on something, they are very stubborn.

"I see that this captain will soon agree to the request of these scientists in front of me!" Xia Houlin whispered to Qiu Yue beside him, because among those people, there are several scientists whose status at UNSC is not low.

And now there are more than a dozen scientists in the outside research institute who are missing, and it depends on the situation that it has only happened recently. Therefore, it is necessary for this captain to investigate these things clearly, otherwise he will not be able to go back to the business.

"It doesn't matter, we'll go down and see how it goes. Perhaps these scientists may have discovered the remnants of the Forerunners on this planet. Xiahou Lin said half-jokingly, although the forerunners have left ruins in many places, but in front of the vast galaxy, they are also very rare. Finding the Precursor ruins is often a matter of luck.

But as soon as Xia Houlin's words were finished, he received the latest task prompt in his mind.

Hidden Mission: Collect data fragments to form a spaceship, and the mission is listed first.

"Looks like we're going to have to go down, there's a lot of data fragments here." Xia Houlin said calmly to Qiu Yue, he was really a little surprised by such a mission report.

"Then let's go and see what kind of world the spaceship that appeared this time is a product of what kind of world." Qiu Yue said with a smile, and then looked at the position of the bridge in front of him.

The debate there soon came to an end, and the scientists eventually won. After all, there are no aliens like the Covenant, those beasts that attack people. In front of the heavily armed Marines, they were just live targets.

Immediately, the research ship made a decision to send half of the marines and two tarantula mechs to protect the scientists to the scientific research institute to investigate what was going on there. The rest of the crew waited on board for news so that they could provide support at any time in the event of an accident.

Because they had their own goals, Charhulin and Laxis naturally joined the team that went outside.

Although the Marine Corps officers objected, they could not stop Xiahoulin and Qiuyue's determination. After all, the reason they put forward is quite sufficient, that is, if the Precursor ruins are discovered, then the abilities of the two of them can be used.

In the end, Xiahou Lin and Qiu Yue also became members of the team who left the spaceship and went outside to investigate the situation. However, the two of them were asked not to leave the sight of the Marines to avoid unforeseen danger.

When everyone stepped off the research ship, they immediately felt a chill on their faces. The temperature around is indeed very low, and it stands to reason that those carnivorous creatures have long chosen to hibernate or something like this in such an environment.

Unless the carnivores are in a state of starvation, an attack on the research station would be tantamount to death. After all, there are still some firearms in the research institute here. Although it is not very powerful, it is more than enough for self-defense.

After carefully observing the research institute for half an hour, they finally found no trace of scientific researchers. On the floor and ceiling, there were traces of blood splattering everywhere. Nothing was found.
