"When we were shot down, the communication system should have been normal, I don't know if the Covenant space station will find us." Luo Bing, a communications staff officer, sorted out his outfit, put on his mecha and said.

"I'm afraid that before the Covenant space station has made contact with us, the beasts have already discovered us. The wolf smoke emitted by this spaceship can be seen clearly within a radius of dozens of miles, in case it is discovered by the fierce beast, we are afraid that our lives will not be guaranteed, so we should leave quickly. Lei Ling said.

The survivors pushed open the emergency escape door in the cabin and climbed out of the increasingly burning ship. Pei Xiling took out the locator he carried with him and looked around, "We are now on the edge of the desert, fortunately, we can get out of the desert five kilometers to the east." ”

Long Xingyi seemed to suddenly think of something, raised his left hand and said, "Wolong!" Can you get in touch with the Covenant space station? ”

PC Wolong replied: "I'm sorry, I don't have access to the military line. ”

Yin Yuting also seemed to think of something, and asked Pei Xiling: "If you have a computer connected to the Internet, can you try to contact the Star Alliance space station?" ”

Pei Xiling nodded, "I can try to crack the encrypted channel of the Star Alliance's ground command center and make a network transfer." ”

Yin Yuting also asked her PC: "Anna, where is the nearest place to this where is the civilian network signal?" ”

"Eight kilometres southeast of here, there's a small town that still has internet and the communication system is still available." Anna said after checking the source.

"How long will it take to get in touch with the Covenant space station to find the computer?" Lei Ling asked.

"I can do it in 15 minutes, I know the internal system." Pei Xiling said confidently.

Lei Ling glanced at the time, "In 40 minutes, 8 kilometers." Put on your mechs and march quickly! ”

The armor of the mecha warrior can stimulate the nervous system of the human body and increase the physical fitness of the warrior, so everyone put on the armor and rushed to the southeast.

At first, there were dozens of people on the Lei Ling spaceship, but after being attacked in the air, some of the personnel fell through the gap in the tail of the engine room during the gliding landing, and some of them were unfortunately killed when the spacecraft touched the ground. At this time, there were only a dozen people left in Lei Ling's team. But the team of more than a dozen people, running wildly together in the vast desert, also stirred up a thick layer of dust.

Running and running, Long Xingyi and the others suddenly heard a miserable scream behind them, and when they looked back, it turned out that at some point, there were many more dune-like whirlpools on the ground, and Gao Yi, the combat staff officer, accidentally stepped into the quicksand and fell into it.

"Quick! Pull him up! Lei Ling shouted breathlessly.

Everyone rushed forward together, lying on the edge of the quicksand, and grabbed Gao Yi's arms hard, trying to pull him up.

But Gao Yi's knees had already sunk into the sand, unable to break free, and his expression was full of pain and horror.

"Hold on! We're going to pull you up. While encouraging his comrades, Long Xingyi used all his strength to drag Gao Yi to the edge of the quicksand.

Suddenly, Gao Yi's expression became extremely panicked, and his eyes widened and he glared at everyone around him, "Next...... There's something down there! As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful force suddenly dragged him into the sand dunes and disappeared.

A good person suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes, and everyone present was inevitably a little unacceptable, standing stupidly in place, looking at the place where Gao Yi disappeared, covered by layers of quicksand.

"There's something down there......" The calm and capable Yin Zhendong was the first to come back to his senses, "All on alert!" ”

Everyone raised their weapons at the same time, and scanned the ground around them in a panic. Long Xingyi also pulled out the laser sword on his waist and looked around vigilantly, "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's withdraw quickly!" ”

At this moment, only to hear a scream behind him, everyone turned around, only to see that Fang Qitian's chest was pierced by a hook-shaped long thorn, and the severe pain made him unable to shout except for the scream just now, he could only let out a slight moan of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Suddenly, Fang Qitian soared into the air, and behind him, a long tail was throwing him in the air and dancing.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned for a moment, it was Yin Zhendong and Long Xingyi who reacted first, Yin Zhendong hurriedly opened the machine gun in his hand, but he was never able to concentrate on the flexible long tail, and several times he almost hit Fang Qitian who was thrown around.

Long Xingyi shouted to Yin Zhendong: "Hit its roots on the ground!" Then he also brandished his laser sword and rushed forward.

Yin Zhendong aimed at a section on the ground and concentrated his firepower, and the others also followed and opened fire together. Taking advantage of the moment when the long tail twisted and twitched because of the pain, Long Xingyi swung the laser sword in his hand vigorously, and cut off the long tail with one sword.

Fang Qitian, who was pierced through his chest, fell to the ground, already unconscious. At this moment, the ground suddenly collapsed, and two giant claws suddenly stretched out from the thick pile of sand, almost clamping down on Long Xingyi above them. Long Xingyi rolled sideways, dodging the sudden attack. Immediately after, a scorpion the size of a car emerged from the sand dune, and it was its tail that Long Xingyi had just cut off.

"Scarlet Scorpion!" Yoon Jin-dong was the first to recognize the monster in front of him, "Shoot it in the stomach!" Don't hit its pincers, it's useless! ”

Everyone unanimously obeyed Yin Zhendong's command, and the moment it turned around, it aimed at the scarlet scorpion's stomach and set fire. A viscous black liquid gushed out, and the scarlet scorpion shook a few times and fell onto the yellow sand.

Yin Zhendong stepped forward and kicked the giant scorpion to confirm that it was really dead, and then turned his head to look at Fang Qitian who had fallen to the ground. It can be seen through the mask that he is already pale at this time, and he is hopeless.

"Its scorpion stingers are so sharp that even mechs can penetrate them, and if you are hit by his stinger, you will die within a few minutes." After Yin Zhendong finished speaking, he sighed.

In just a few minutes, two people died in a row, which made everyone's mood extremely heavy.

At this moment, someone from behind suddenly shouted: "Under the sand! And also! ”

When everyone looked back, they saw that above the sand dunes, several thin lines were winding towards them from all directions, menacing.

"Run!" Lei Ling shouted. The crowd ran desperately as if they had been spurred on.

In the process of running, people at the back of the team kept falling into the quicksand, and before they could scream, they were dragged into the yellow sand by the scarlet scorpion and disappeared. The squad, which was already small in number, became more and more thin.

After running for an unknown amount of time, when Long Xingyi looked back again, the thin line on the sand dune was gone, so he waved his hand and signaled to Lei Ling.

Lei Ling glanced back, the scarlet scorpion had indeed disappeared, but the original team of more than a dozen people was now only Lei Ling, Yin Zhendong, Yin Yuling, Long Xingyi, Luo Bing and Pei Xiling 6 people, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

Everyone was freed from the state of running for their lives, and they all felt that their whole bodies were collapsed in an instant. When people are trying to survive, the strength they exert is beyond the limits of the human body, and now that the danger has temporarily passed, the feeling of exhaustion suddenly hits.

Long Xingyi lay on the sand dunes all of a sudden, muttering, "This all the way!" It's time to catch up with "Journey to the West", subduing demons and eliminating demons. ”

Yin Yuting also sat on the ground, took off her helmet, wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked into the distance and said, "It's not far ahead...... I guess it's the edge of the desert! ”

Luo Bing, as the worst physical strength among all of them, was already about to die of exhaustion at this time, "I...... It's really ...... I can't run anymore. I don't have the energy......"

"What then...... Let's work harder! I'll look ahead...... It's like a small town. "The elderly Yin Zhendong, although his body is tough, he can't stand the years and is a little out of breath at the moment.

"What if...... So what is a mirage? Long Xingyi was lying on the ground, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead in his helmet, and it was really a bit torturous to run through this hot desert.

"Shut your crow's mouth!" Yin Yuting scolded, "What else should I do? Do you want to be burned to death by a plasma cannon? ”

At this moment, the PC in Long Xingyi's hand suddenly rang, startling everyone.

Long Xingyi unloaded the mecha and picked up the phone as if grasping at a life-saving straw.

An old man with a kind face appears in the frame, "I've finally contacted you." ”

Hades Sea! At this time, everyone was overjoyed to see this face, and even Yin Zhendong said "um" meaningfully.

"Yes, yes, yes! Commander-in-Chief! It's us! Long Xingyi jumped up happily.

"We're looking for survivors of the downed ship, your signal is missing at the edge of the desert, and we've been looking for you for a long time." The Stygian Sea contacted Long Xingyi and them, and he was also very happy.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, we have suffered heavy casualties, can you take us back to the space station as soon as possible?" Lei Ling leaned up and asked.

Shenchenhai thought for a moment and said, "The wrecked spaceship is scattered everywhere, and we are sending the spaceship to Earth for emergency rescue. The Skynet project has been put on hold for the time being, and we will send a spacecraft to pick you up later. ”

When everyone present heard the news, they cheered as if they had been granted amnesty.

"But ......," Hades continued.

But? At this time, it seems unlucky to hear the word "but". Long Xingyi thought in his heart and asked, "But what?" ”

"But before I can do that, I need you to complete a search and rescue mission, and the ship will be there to pick you up." Hades said.

Rescue? Lei Ling, as the highest-ranking officer present, asked, "May I ask the commander-in-chief, where do you need us to go and who to save?" ”

"In a small town 3 kilometers southeast of you, that man ...... Long Xingyi, you should know. Shenchen Hai said with a slight smile.

Long Xingyi glanced up at everyone present, and everyone's eyes were full of questions. Long Xingyi asked: "Lord Commander, you also know that I came to 2199 alone, and the one I am most familiar with in this era is this Yin Yuting on the side, who else do you say I know?" ”

Shen Chenhai smiled, "Don't you kid remember Academician Murong of the Academy of Sciences?" ”
