Chapter 36 The first two-thirds

The ugly bipedal walking machine struggled through the dense alien jungle, spewing harmful black smoke, slow and clumsy, its every joint "clicking" and seemingly ready to fall apart at any moment - but it only seemed that it had been in the wild for hours, and that had been going on for so long, but the problems that had worried motorists and onlookers alike never happened.

He Xie attributed this to Qin Lang's luck, it was surprisingly good, if others were like him, this monster would have been lying on its stomach a long time ago, and maybe it would turn itself and the driver into a huge humanoid torch, and then scatter in all directions with a "bang".

In the end, it would take the searchers days to retrieve the debris, and certainly not all of them.

He Xie didn't want to see such a tragic scene, not because he cared about Qin Lang's modified machine or the white bear, but because he was too close, and at that time, he would definitely be affected by the explosion.

He didn't want to test the protective ability of the power armor made by Qin Lang yet.

So he kept a close eye on the condition of the walking machine, and kept in constant contact with the white bear, close to once a minute.

"Is everything okay?" This is the two hundred and first inquiry.

A moment later, He Xie heard the two hundred and first reply: "It's the same as last time." ”

The white bear's voice sounded tired and bored, and it was panting heavily. Of course, this is also normal, he has been bumping around in a small enclosed space for so long, the physical and mental consumption is great, and the thirst for rest is growing rapidly.

It's a pity that this is not something he can decide, and neither can He Xie.

He Xie opened Qin Lang's contact channel: "Should we rest for a while, or return to the base?" ”

"No, let's move on."

"I think the white bear is about to run out of steam."

"He's fine, I'm monitoring him, all the values are in the normal range." After waiting for a few more seconds, Qin Lang added, "If you stop harassing him, his situation will be better." ”

"Really?"

"The only problem we face is that you talk too much."

"I don't think so." He Xie said that he stepped over a fallen tree trunk, but the white bear's walking machine stepped on it directly, and as a result, he almost tripped over. "Look." He launched a counterattack at Qin Lang, "His steps are getting more and more clumsy. ”

Qin Lang was silent for a while, assessing the state of the white bear, and finally had to accept He Xie's request. "Let's rest."

As soon as he said the last word, the walking machine stopped. White Bear uneagerly opened the armored hatch and began to gasp for air - physiologically, this action was of no practical significance, he was still wearing a helmet, connected to the machine, and the amount of oxygen he could inhale was completely controlled by the program - he just wanted to get out of the cramped, dimly lit environment that could drive claustrophobic people crazy.

He Xie and Qin Lang rushed to his side at the same time to prevent him from tearing off his mask.

But the white bear controlled that impulse.

He Xie breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that the MK-6 also has some benefits to using a transparent canopy."

He waited for a while, but he never heard Qin Lang's voice, so he turned his head to the side, wondering what he was doing. But Qin Lang didn't do anything, he stood quietly, as if he was thinking.

It was almost a minute before he came back to reality. "What did you just say?"

"Whatever you want." He Xie asked rhetorically, "What are you thinking?" ”

"How can the display system of the helmet be improved?"

"What are you going to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"I thought you were always confident."

"Laugh if you want, but whoever can laugh last will laugh the best." Qin Lang squeezed out a face that was in control, but his next sentence was to Bai Xiong: "Are you feeling better?" ”

The white bear's breathing rhythm had returned to normal, which allowed him to answer Qin Lang's question: "Yes, sir." ”

"Rest a little longer, and then we'll move on to the mission."

Although he knew that Qin Lang couldn't see it, He Xie still rolled his eyes: Mission? They weren't on a hellish mission at all, just wandering aimlessly through the forest...... Test Qin Lang's modified machine, and only half of the project can be completed. Guo Bo had expected them to encounter some Pandora wild animals suitable for weapon test-firing, but the reality was quite the opposite, and until now, they have seen nothing.

All the animals that could be used as targets were gone, or they weren't in this place from the beginning, He Xie couldn't tell what was going on, and Qin Lang couldn't count on it either.

In this case, they should return to the base, but Qin Lang continued to waste time.

Even the White Bear was puzzled by his decision: "Why do we keep going, sir?" ”

At the beginning of the period, Qin Lang didn't seem to want to answer, but finally answered: "You know, according to the plot of the movie, we have to stay on this planet for three months, but I don't want to wait so long." ”

"You want to speed up the process?" He Xie was not surprised, the hunt planned by Qin Lang had this effect, but it was not very good, not only Sefritsy and Augustin were dragging their feet, but the blue-skinned aliens did not take retaliatory measures, as for Quarridge, he put too much hope on Jack. Sully.

Sadly, the retired Marine did give the colonel a little hope: his lost avatar had infiltrated the blue-skinned alien village, brought back some valuable information, and could go back again - his avatar was still there, connecting his consciousness and getting back to work.

It seems that he can be the negotiator of humanity, helping the Colonel and Severidge bloodlessly drive the blue-skinned aliens out of the region's most important mines.

Of course, this was just their wishful thinking, a stupid soldier who had only learned to pull the trigger in the army could not be a negotiator, and he had been single for many years, and any female could make him forget about his tasks and duties, and it was better to put his hope in him than to expect the heads of the natives to suddenly open their minds - even if they didn't watch the movies, the Colonel and Sefritsch should understand this and start preparing for the use of force now.

Then use it to solve problems quickly and decisively.

But they won't do it.

Of course, a person like Qin Lang would not tolerate such a situation, and three months is indeed a bit long. He Xie could understand his thoughts, but he felt that he still couldn't succeed.

"You want to stir up conflict, but first you have to meet the blueskins." He glanced around and shrugged his shoulders in the same way as Qin Lang, "Where are they?" ”
