Chapter 41: Abandonment of the Mission
87_87057 walked out of the tent, and Huang Mao complained angrily: "It's a shame that the boss can talk to that kind of person for so long, I feel uncomfortable looking at it." ”
Qin Qing said: "If we can cooperate with the loach, it will be beneficial to both parties, although the loach has no courage, but he does not have any bad intentions, in fact, he is not a bad partner." ”
Bai Qi nodded and said: "I think so too, that's why I play Tai Chi with him, otherwise I promise to come down now, and when the real task comes down, I'm afraid I will have another dispute and break up unhappily, I just hope to continue to maintain this cooperative relationship with the other party, so I play Tai Chi with him, otherwise I will break up twice in a row, I'm afraid I won't be able to cooperate again in the future." ”
After that, Bai Qi didn't wait for others to ask, he told his guess about the next mission, and finally he said: "Unlike us, with the character of loach safety first, I'm afraid I would prefer to stay in the safe peripheral construction team." ”
Qin Qing said: "Your speculation is very reasonable, but with our position in this big team, even if we want to fight for the protection task of the inner ring construction team, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight for it, and in the end, won't we be excluded from the outer ring construction team and be with the loaches?" ”
Bai Qi asked rhetorically, "Why do we have to accept this task?" ”
Bai Qi's words made Qin Qing and Heinrich's eyes suddenly light up.
Bai Qi smiled slightly and said, "No matter which protection team you enter, you will tie us to death, don't forget, our deadliest enemy is actually not the alien, but the Huya team." According to what I've heard, many medium-sized teams have sent more than one team into this mission space with the rescue mode turned on, and there is no reason why the people of Huya would miss this rare opportunity, so it is likely that there is more than one team in this mission space. ”
"After Zilong and Feng Yan escaped, it is very likely that they will go to find rescuers, once the other party arrives with reinforcements, we will be tied up in the construction team again, and at that time, the enemy will be dark and I will be clear, and we may die without a place to be buried."
Huang Mao said puzzledly: "Boss, what you said is too much to destroy your own prestige, since we can destroy the Viper Squad, why should we be afraid of their other squads?" ”
Bai Qi glared at Huang Mao angrily and said, "If the poisonous snake is not afraid of wolves and tigers, and has too many scruples, how can it die at my hands?" ”
Speaking of this, Bai Qi turned his gaze to Qin Qing and said, "So I think it's best for us to avoid this mission and go into the depths of the rainforest to hunt aliens, the genetic tracker we just got in the hands of the Predator just came in handy, and the harvest may not be worse than staying here." ”
Qin Qing nodded and said, "This is indeed a good idea. ”
Seeing that Qin Qing agreed, Bai Qi turned his head to Heinrich and said, "I'm sorry, I've bothered you this time." ”
Heinrich said with a stern expression: "During this time, I have seen in you bravery, calmness, wisdom, and enough caution, you are the best captain I have ever seen." I don't think I'm the right guy to be a captain, so it's my good fortune to have you as a good captain, and it's an honor to be part of your team. ”
Listening to Heinrich's words, Bai Qi and the three of them couldn't help laughing, and suddenly felt that this cold-faced newcomer who was silent and talked was a little more kind.
They asked the guards about the location of the quartermaster's office, and then wandered around the newly renovated barracks, and after two rounds, they saw that there were no other soldiers in the quartermaster's office, and they went in to pay the prestige items.
The severed skulls and tail spines of more than thirty xenomorphs brought them over 1,500 reputation and 3,000 survival points each.
Back at the camp, Bai Qi arranged the order of duty, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the colonel from the previous time came again to the tent and announced the mission.
The task is exactly the same as Bai Qi's conjecture, the military not only wants to build a passage to the inner ring, but also plans to start construction on both sides to build a road connecting the outer ring encirclement, and requires the space soldiers to divide into three teams.
Bai Qi, like the other scattered people, was casually assigned to one of the outer passage construction teams by the leaders of those big teams, and no one even came to ask their opinions.
After the major announced the mission, all the space soldiers were prompted by the space system, and no one knew that someone had turned down the mission.
That night, Bai Qi and the others quietly left the camp, burrowed into the dense jungle, and disappeared without a trace.
Early the next morning, dozens of large machines roared out of the base, and the space soldiers also left, except for a few people such as Loach, no one even noticed that there were a few people missing from the team.
Because the construction of a temporary passage only required large machinery to level and compact the scorched earth bombed, so that the army's off-road trucks could pass, so the project was carried out very quickly. The red dirt road stretches forward at a rate of several kilometers per day.
……….
At noon on the third day after the start of the work, on the road construction site leading to the Inner Ring Bombing Zone.
Engineers in front are responsible for blasting and removing boulders and remaining tree roots, while excavators and bulldozers concentrate the sediment on both sides of the scorched earth belt in the middle, forming a high platform four or five meters above the ground, and then the huge and heavy rollers slowly compact the accumulated soil.
The entire construction site is busy, orderly and efficient, and the road is stretching forward at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye.
Around the busy large machinery, dozens of space soldiers wearing hideous full-body armor were patrolling, and on the outskirts of these space soldiers were hundreds of American soldiers wearing heavy exoskeleton battle armor.
In order to resist the horrific acid spews of the aliens, the exoskeleton armor on these warriors has been specially improved.
The armor is covered with thick acid-proof materials, but these thick acid-proof materials can only block the corrosion of the alien acid for a few seconds, so the designers added a water tank to the back of the exoskeleton armor, which stores a high concentration of lye to neutralize the alien strong acid.
These improvements made the already formidable exoskeleton look bloated and comical, and the soldiers in the armor looked like strange-looking robots.
Despite all the anti-acid improvements, this armor can only withstand one acid spray from the alien, so every fighter is told during training that once they are sprayed with alien acid, they will immediately withdraw from the battle and wait for repairs.
The iron-blooded armor on the space soldier is also nominally from the military, but this kind of armor is made of alien skulls, which cannot be mass-produced, and naturally cannot be popularized to mechas, so it can only be equipped with some special troops.
The workers didn't know this, and in their opinion, the mecha warriors with the big scary exoskeleton mecha submachine guns in their hands were much more reliable than these guys wearing strange armor and holding all kinds of cold weapons in their hands.
For the strange combat skills of space soldiers, the military top brass has already given an explanation
These mercenaries are super soldiers, mutants, and a variety of abilities developed by several world-class weapons manufacturers and mercenary companies.
Behind the construction site, on the repaired red dirt road, more than a dozen RVs are parked on the side.
Some of these motorhomes are workers' lounges, while others are functional motorhomes such as kitchens, toilets, and bathrooms. Many workers on shift are moving around the RV.
The first two and the last few of these caravans are mercenary lounges.
The construction site had not yet been attacked by aliens, and the terrible workers who had never seen aliens before gradually relaxed after the initial nervousness.
The workers can relax, but the mercenaries, that is, the space soldiers, do not dare to relax in the slightest, seven or eight space soldiers are distributed next to the convoy, vigilantly patrolling the rainforest on both sides.
Patrolling at the end of the convoy was an exceptionally tall warrior, walking back and forth at the end of the convoy with a spear in one hand and a thick shield in the other.
Suddenly, he stopped, stuck his spear on the ground, and flipped his hand to pull out a miniature communicator from the storage space.
The communicator's display was flickering slightly, and the warrior pointed to the button on the side of the communicator, and a light curtain stretched out from the surface of the communicator, in which a handsome young man was smiling at him.
The young man said: "Boss Abel, I hope it didn't bother you, I want to ask you for some news, I don't know if you are free?" ”
The warrior took off his helmet, it was Abel, he showed a smile, and said to the light curtain: "Zilong, I knew you wouldn't die, you want to ask about the whereabouts of that Li Mu, right?" I had expected this day to come, so my men and I were very attentive to the whereabouts of these guys, but it was very strange that they weren't part of any of the construction teams, and I guess they probably expected you to come back to him, so they didn't accept the task, you know, this man is very cunning. ”
