Chapter 475: Deadly Dandelion

One hour and fifteen minutes after landing, as the team continued to suffer casualties, the exploration team finally stopped helplessly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The invisible enemy is more lethal and more intimidating. Although the marines have been aware of dying on the battlefield since the moment they boarded the battleship, anyone who sees the comrades who were still guarding with him one moment ago die quietly the next moment, and can hold on until he does not have a nervous breakdown.

The news from the fleet came that it was impossible to delay the operation time, and after the specified time arrived, the warships fighting separately would forcibly break through to the high-altitude orbit of the No. 2 satellite and assemble. The login window can barely last ten minutes, and it will be really dangerous if you don't make it back to the fleet by then. The fleet will never risk crashing a capital ship to rescue a can of marines.

And even if the landing craft of the Marine Corps can take off on time, it is also a question whether it will be able to get sufficient fighter escort on the way back. In just over an hour of fierce battle, the carrier-based aircraft force of the main fleet was seriously reduced, after all, there would not be many aces who could fight one enemy and three at the same time, which was the same both within the Dyson world and in the Golden Crow fleet. The only difference is that the latter's extensive use of drones and group attack tactics make up for this shortcoming.

Looking at the dark crater in front of him, Hans shook his head helplessly, it was impossible to break through to the depths, and the rest of the time was simply impossible to reach. The gravity on Satellite 2 is only one-eighth of the force of the marker, which makes the soldiers' actions more time-consuming and laborious, and sometimes jumping three feet high is not necessarily a good thing, especially in places full of cold guns and cannons, which not only shoot the first bird, but also the rabbit that jumps out. This means that the time for the Marines to complete the assembly will be correspondingly longer.

Looking at the coal bushes fifteen meters away, Sack patted his head and scolded himself secretly. Since all the coal spirit trees in the entire crater are the same, it would be nice to dig up a random one and study it, so why rush forward one by one. Is it true that soldiers on the battlefield are told to experience a decline in intelligence due to great fear?

"Each team digs a coal spirit tree in situ and puts it on the belt, and we are ready to retreat!" Hans shook his head, got along with a compromise plan, and didn't know if he would be hung up and killed by the squadron leader when he went back, knowing that in order to cover the landing of the marines, the fleet in space was still playing with the enemy.

The order was quickly carried out, and in fact the soldiers carried it out much faster than Hans had expected, and sure enough, pressure was the motivation. In order to be able to leave this ghost place as soon as possible, everyone was eager to use their milk strength to uproot the coal spirit tree at once.

This thing doesn't look very strong, but when you actually start it, you find that it is unexpectedly tough, as if it has all turned into poplars with well-developed roots. In order to better preserve the root system that does not know whether it exists or not, the team in charge of collecting directly used a laser cutting beam to cut the black rock around the coal spirit tree.

"Report, discover Tianjing!" Twenty meters away from Hans, two soldiers held up a coal spirit tree and shouted excitedly as they pointed to a string of blue spar particles beneath its roots. It's hard to imagine that the Celestial Crystal, which is rarely seen in ordinary times, and is regarded as a treasure by various principalities and old empires, actually hangs like grapes under the coal spirit tree.

These celestial crystal particles are as large as eggs, small as longans, and with different sizes, their colors also vary greatly, the largest is dark blue, and the small ones are even light red. From this point of view, it is somewhat similar to biological crystals, or different energy gatherings, although the appearance is different, but the color difference is still very similar.

"I'll see" Hans jumped two steps lightly and walked forward, reached out and grabbed the uprooted coal spirit tree, his eyes came to him and counted carefully, a total of sixteen heavenly crystals, large and small, although the size was much smaller than the one seized outside, but it was also a small gain.

"Click! ......" A slight sound came from the armor belt near the Adam's apple, and before Hans could react, the alarm of the semi-intelligent assistant program sounded urgently. This is also the first time that the semi-intelligent assistant program has taken the initiative to warn since the beginning of the battle.

On the planar projection inside the battle armor, the diagram of the neck area flashed urgently, and a small damaged area was marked. That's not all, almost at the same time, the inner lining of the smart suit automatically opened its own small energy shield, and a thin layer of white shield clinged to the smart suit to protect Hans firmly.

However, the situation is not much more optimistic because of the opening of the energy shield, under normal circumstances, the energy reserves of smart clothes that are enough to consume for a month are plummeting at a rate visible to the naked eye, and soon fell by thirty percent, and this trend has not slowed down because of the extension of time, and there is even a tendency to get faster and faster.

Since it is not a combat equipment, the energy reserve on the smart suit is only a thin white crystal (C-level energy crystal chip), and its role is mainly used to maintain the deformation and self-cleaning of the smart suit, and this layer of energy shield is only used to deal with emergencies such as sudden spaceship leakage or falling into the water, and there is no long-term protection function. At the current rate of energy consumption, it may not take more than a minute for the smart suit to lose its function due to energy exhaustion.

"Something!" The external monitor gradually lost its function due to the rapid loss of energy, and the real-time monitoring picture appeared to be seriously distorted. Hans could only reach out and grope his neck with his own feelings.

"Squeak!" As if sensing something, he pinched it lightly with two fingers, and then reached out and pulled out the small thing that was inserted into his neck, and in the process, Hans seemed to hear the screeching sound of a nail burrowing into the iron sheet. Although the main composition of the combat armor is a liquid alloy with low hardness, its ductility is quite good, and the combat armor that can barely resist the fire of individual particle weapons can be easily pierced, Hans wants to see what this shadow assassin looks like.

"Dandelion?" Hans looked strangely at the sharp object between his fingers. Less than 3 centimeters in length, it is pitch-black and has a tapered spike on its tail, which is topped by a scattered dandelion-like umbrella. It's this thing that just penetrated the all-metal alloy layer in an instant, and quickly absorbed more than half of the energy inventory of the smart suit.

The invisible killer has finally been found, and nine out of ten members of the team who were damaged in battle were planted on this little thing. It seems that this "dandelion" has extremely powerful energy-predatory properties. The combat armor is located at the neck and was not designed with additional hard armor, perhaps this is how it gave Dandelion the opportunity to get his hands on.

However, being able to accurately locate less than three inches in a vacuum environment and have enough force to penetrate the alloy, it is clear that this dandelion is not as simple as imagined. At least until now, the Golden Crow Fleet has not produced a mini smart bomb with such power, and the smallest one is only an octopus missile more than half a meter long, which is still used on warships.

“my-god！ It's really a domineering little pervert, if it weren't for the extra layer of skin inside, it would be planted here today! Hans looked at the coal spirit tree in his hand with trepidation. In the middle of the branch, a pitch-black structure like a pine cone opened a nail-sized opening, from which dandelion-like spikes flew out. And it can be seen with the naked eye that there are at least a dozen stocks in this "pine cone".

Smart clothing is the standard configuration of citizens within the Golden Crow fleet, and there is only a small outflow from a very small number of foreign races such as the Emmy high-level, and the advance fleet, as a temporary formation, does not have the ability to equip every Dyson soldier with such equipment, otherwise, although it can not be said to be absolutely defensive, at least it can provide time for the soldiers who are attacked to call the police.

With such a danger from just one coal spirit tree, it is conceivable that it is only a matter of time before the entire landing force is wiped out if it continues deeper. Moreover, the main task of Hans's department in this landing operation is to find the energy system of Tianjing, and it seems that this purpose has been achieved.

Hans glanced at the time marker on the flat monitor, and there were still twenty minutes left before landing and returning. Although there may be coal spirit trees that are more than ten meters high or even higher, as well as even larger celestial crystals, looking at the vigilant soldiers around them, they were stuck in their throats before the order to continue going deeper was issued.

"The order was given, and the squadrons took alternate cover and retreated to the expected assembly point......" (To be continued. )
