Chapter 50: Waiting
It's a white, frozen world, and beneath a small hillside, full of thorny icicles
After ----- geothermal heat and wind diffuse water vapor into the air, the water molecules in the air are constantly captured and attached by these icicles, which makes the icicles longer and longer, more and more hideous, and then captures more water vapor and circulates continuously, forming the ubiquitous ice ridge jungle that can be seen everywhere today.
"Click, click~"
A thick leg swept through these ice thorns that had taken 10,000 years to form, and the ice edges, which had already been as hard as stones, fell apart and scattered all over the ground in an instant.
If you look up along this leg, you will find that this leg belongs to a brown thunderbeast, which looks much smaller than the silver-backed thunderbeast that pursued Garbo in the barracks, but this does not affect its status as the commander of a small unit in the slightest.
"Whoa~~~~~~ ~~~~~~"
With the roar of this thunder beast, a large group of jumping insects following it instantly changed from a plate of scattered sand that had just fought and pushed each other into a silent and orderly team.
They quickly and regularly formed a phalanx behind the thunder beast, and then together they slashed into the snow and ice beneath them, and the sharp claws quickly carved a snow pit in the ice and snow about their own size.
These jumping insects jumped down one after another, and then swept the snow shaved out with their claws into and around the pit where they were hiding, and the hundreds of black jumping insects that were still extremely conspicuous just now disappeared into this white snowfield.
The Thunderbeast made its rounds around the ambush site, apparently satisfied, and then continued to drag its heavy pace towards a large natural icicle at the foot of the mountain, which had been dug out of a hole large enough to accommodate it, and this should be the hiding place it had chosen for itself.
All the insects, including this thunder beast, didn't notice that on the top of the mountain not far from their ambush site, there were three people wearing pure white snow combat uniforms, and they were taking in their movements.
"The encirclement of these bedbugs is really big... Sure enough, it is similar to what the main brain deduced, what kind of scale of action target will require an ambush circle with a radius of more than five kilometers? ”
While observing the insects' every move through the telescopic function of the tactical glasses, Asics exchanged opinions with Garbo and Nataya, who were beside him.
"Listen, there's something in heaven!"
When Garbo was about to speak, Nataya suddenly screamed softly, so Asics and Garbo pricked up their ears at the same time, and turned over, changing from the position of lying on their stomachs to facing the sky on their backs.
"Here, there's a lot of air friction, it should be a big spaceship or something!"
Nataya also rolled over slightly, frowning and staring at the thick and misty clouds in the sky.
"I said... Are you teasing us ... Even the tactical glasses can't detect any movement, you can hear it... ”
Asics looked at the sky hard, and then squeezed out a few words.
The three of them turned over and lay down for a long time, only the rolling clouds and the ionized turbulence that emerged from behind the clouds from time to time.
The only thing that can be seen to be different from usual is that today's turbulent storm seems to be a little stronger than usual.
"No, listen carefully, it's already loud, it should not be far from us!"
"Well, I swear I can only hear the sound of the wind... Wait a minute... Oh! Oh my God, what's that! ”
Before Asics could finish taking Nataya's words, he saw a huge spaceship in the thick clouds revealing its bow and seemingly swooping down on the place where the three were lying.
"It turned out to be their !!"
Nataya, who saw the bow of the ship almost at the same time, cried out in surprise.
