Chapter XXXVIII
Captain Mika's lecture was timely.
At this moment, they are in the unknown environment after the ship crashed, and these terrifying killing machines may be lurking in all directions, coupled with the dark environment, this is simply a tiger's den in Longtan.
All the electronic systems were out of order, and if it weren't for the key to the emergency passage, they would have been trapped inside the battleship with no way out.
The weapons are also broken, and at this moment they can only use the old arms sold by that "genius", but fortunately, these sand eagles are still reliable.
And in such an extremely harsh environment, Vasily and Mosinagan obviously performed very unqualified.
Mosiner is fine, but he is a little stupid. But Vasily, as if he had become a drag on the whole team.
If this kind of person was in the cosmic mercenary, I am afraid that he would have been abandoned or used as cannon fodder a long time ago.
However, they are soldiers, and unlike those mongrels who have no humanity, they will never abandon their comrades.
That's why he straightened it out. This gave the group plenty of rest, gave the female recruit time to recover, and most importantly, allowed the two to heal their flaws and stop being a liability.
"Alright, guys." Aking from his contemplation, Mixiang looked at the seven people standing in front of him: two Blue Guards and five recruits.
"It's time for us to decide what to do next."
No one spoke, their eyes serious, ready to listen to the captain's plan.
"First of all, let me introduce this monster first." Mi Xiang touched her chin, as if she was caught in a memory, "Actually, I don't know much about it. It's just that during a time in the army, I occasionally heard Lieutenant Colonel Levi mention it. And this is the first time I've seen this kind of monster, and I hope not the last. ”
He also made a small joke to lighten the mood.
"They mostly inhabit underground veins, and there are many spawn races. It's a terrifying creature. ”
"Omnivores who eat almost anything. They usually feed on the minerals in the veins, and they can draw a lot of energy from these things. Mi Xiang patted the Desert Eagle on her waist,"
"In fact, this monster has a lot of Silti on its body, especially its teeth and front claws, which is why their claws are so sharp."
Hill Titanium!
Ike's eyes suddenly lit up, this is an indispensable material for making high-level individual armor.
I made a lot of money on my own.
"What we encountered before was supposed to be that kind of small vein monster, and we should be glad it wasn't that kind of giant one." Mi Xiang came to a conclusion,
"Their bodies are fragile, they are not as good as ordinary 'poisonous snakes', and they can be killed by a slightly more powerful gun. But don't scratch those claws until you kill them, because the taste of human flesh isn't good. ”
At this time, Vasily raised his hand.
"Say."
"Captain, what about our advance plan?"
"Well, that's what I'm going to say next." Mi Xiang smiled and swept the faces of the seven people with her eyes, and then her face suddenly changed to seriousness, "Ike! ”
"Here!" Ike came out of the queue with a blank face.
"You've always had sensitive senses, and you've got bullet time, so it's not hard to get away from danger, so you're ahead of the curve.
Wait until we get to a distance of about 10 meters in front of us, and move forward at a pace of half a meter per second, responsible for scouting everything ahead. If there is an emergency, use a flashlight to shine back immediately. ”
"Understood." Ike nodded, but in his heart he was looking forward to encountering more Scythe Monsters and getting Hill Titanium.
"Zhen Wuyu, Ovsky, Vasily!"
"Here!"
"The three of you, stay with me at the back of the palace and keep a distance of about 15 meters from Ike at the same time."
"Yes!"
The remaining two Blue Guards, along with Mosin Nagan, were asked to advance in the middle.
All arrived at where they were.
"Remember, the fatal weakness of those monsters is their heads. So now, are you all set? Captain Yonexiang's voice was low, but it was clear to everyone.
"Ready!"
"Action."
They set up a one-three-four formation in Zoomlion, which on the surface seemed to disperse the forces, but in fact established a mechanism for rapid response.
Ike is at the front of the line, and the place called "Dragon's Head" is also the most important and crucial place.
He has to always scout the situation in front of him and react at any time, while escaping from the Scythe Monster's pursuit, he also informs those behind him.
But Mika is right, he has a good feeling, and with bullet time faster than the speed of light, he is indeed suitable for taking the lead. In fact, if someone else cooperates with him, it will drag him down.
What's more, Ike has the thermal imaging provided by Saiko, which allows him to see far enough ahead. Although Captain Mika did not understand this.
10 meters is also a delicate number, and in this dimly lit environment, it is exactly the distance at which the flashlight light can be seen to shine backwards.
The four people behind the palace are to prevent the enemy from being attacked on the back.
And in the event of an accident, the person in the middle can be responsible for fire support.
Offensive and defensible.
In this dark environment, they had to establish this mechanism for rapid response. Otherwise, once the sickle monster attacks, even if they gather together, they won't be able to react at all.
Another extremely important reason why this formation can be used is that the aisle in front of it has become narrower.
The escape route, which was originally very spacious, suddenly appeared as many forks in the road, each of which was just right for two people to pass. I don't know what the designer of this passage thought, but it is said that this will save the materials used to build the metal walls. And these forks will eventually come together and combine into one road.
Ike walked ahead, his body on his left, slightly sloping T-step, always maintaining a pace of half a meter per second.
Hold a scythe in your hand, but now add a "Hill Titanium" prefix. Still holding the sand eagle in his left hand, Ike kept his eyes on the front with a thermal vision.
However, there were no special circumstances.
He didn't take this lightly.
Eerily quiet, the Scythe Monster is often able to surprise.
They will hang upside down from the ceiling and suddenly appear in your sight. Or chisel through the ground and side walls with their claws, pounce on you in an instant, and open their pelvic-like teeth with their massive mouths turned out.
These are all relevant information revealed by Captain Mika.
And although the function of "Saiko" has not been restored, it still has information about this sickle monster.
Of course, the information is incomplete, and not even as much as Mi Xiang introduced. It's not that Saiko's database is damaged, it's a permission lock set up for self-protection.
Ike's current permissions can only view the most basic information, and some are even blank, while more advanced information needs to be unlocked.
This is a very helpless situation, and if "Saiko" is intact, he will be able to directly probe all the surrounding environment, and he will know all the information of the entire battleship.
Of course, no matter how powerful it is, the light brain is just a light brain after all. If you really want to live, you still have to rely on people.
Maintaining this formation, the eight men advanced for about a quarter of an hour, and were never in danger. But they didn't dare to relax at all, and it seemed that they were not far from the exit at this time.
