Chapter 496: The First Contact That Passed By

However, no matter what this elite thought, Lu Feng and his 102 squad didn't have time to spend on him. After the first blow hit this elite, of course Lu Feng didn't stop, he threw down the weapon in his hand and began to punch the high-level elite in front of him with his fist.

From the perspective of ordinary people, Lu Feng at this time was like a doppelganger, and immediately after punching, he could appear on the other side of the elite and kick or elbow again. It looks very similar to Shen Chao, who opened a peerless in the gladiatorial arena some time ago.

The difference is that Shen Chao was in a completely "cloth" state at that time, relying entirely on the speed and strength of his own body. And now Lu Feng relies on the blessing of the nano suit to have such demonic speed and power.

With the blessing of the nanosuit, although he has a natural disadvantage over the elite in front of him in terms of height, the battle is one-sided. His watch proves once again the iron law that speed and strength are far more important than size in close combat.

Under his continuous "restrained" blows, the elite in front of him supported him for almost 5 seconds before he vomited blood and passed out. This was also the result of Lu Feng deliberately limiting the strength of his strikes, otherwise the first butt strike just now would have knocked out the elite brains in front of him. Of course, there are easier ways for them to deal with this elite.

For example, when the opponent rushed over just now, Lu Feng could completely kick it away, and then use the shotgun in his hand to beat the opponent into slag. But if they did, they wouldn't be able to catch the elite prisoner.

After reaching the prisoner, they tied up this high-level elite as fast as they could, and the No. 2 fireteam also rushed over at this time to help Lu Feng's No. 1 fireteam drag away the bodies of their new prisoners of war.

At this moment, the No. 3 fireteam that helped the whole team watch the exit came with bad news, and the Noble team, which had been blocked before, had found another detour by this time. Several of them were also outside blocking the back door.

It seems that the barricades they had set up had not been effective, and now they were hoping that the vision had not alerted Team Noble. Otherwise, they would inevitably run into Noble's team, and in that case, they would ruin their original mission.

With limited options, he decided to temporarily abandon taking this elite captive, because the goal was too big. It's also too much of a drag on their speed. It is technically feasible to leave with this elite now, but it is basically a dream not to alarm the Noble team.

"Bring their armor and weapons, and leave this guy to the UNSC." Lu Feng finally decided after thinking about the gains and losses, and then they took the captured weapons and armor, left the unconscious elite in place, and carefully hid them in various corners of the building.

A few minutes later, Team Noble entered the building as Lu Feng had expected and searched for the location. However, the Spartan warriors were very confused when they saw the scene. It's not surprising that there are corpses on the ground, and the Covenant will always kill human civilians. The Marines who died on the floor also looked like they were defending to the end.

The strange thing in the neighborhood is that there are actually 3 elite "corpses" at the scene. Moreover, these elites were obviously stripped of their bodies after death, and one of them was even stripped naked, and their whole bodies were bare, which is rare.

"Wait, that looks so weird here......" Carter, the leader of Noble's team, said as he told his teammates to scrutinize the scene. When they examined the "corpses", they were surprised to find that the stripped one was still alive. It just looks miserable.

And the living elite also had a Marine Corps blood-stained walkie-talkie on his body, and the walkie-talkie's small LCD screen had a bunch of long numbers made up of 1s and 2s. At first glance, it is a short message left in Morse code. The translated content is like this.

"We helped you kill these elites, and the living elites are a gift to you. You're welcome! -Your fairy godmother......" This message was translated, and in an instant, the entire squad of Spartan warriors was overturned.

In particular, the final payment of the "fairy godmother", which is obviously ridiculous, obviously treats them as weak people in need of assistance, and the whole message looks like the "bold words" that some Marine ruffians will shout in radio communications.

However, Carter and the rest of the Noble squad had a hard time believing that the UNSC's Marines or ODST were capable of handling these elites, and they did not receive any information about the proximity of friendly units.

If you let them use their imagination to guess. They could only guess that it was a hilarious message left for them by a passing group of Spartan warriors. After all, the missions of the Spartan warriors, especially those of the mythical Spartans of Phase 2, have always been top secret.

If a squad of Spartan Fighters Phase 2 were deployed nearby and on a mission, it is quite possible that they and even the commanders in their rear would not know about it! Thinking about it this way, the situation they see now is not low in reasonableness.

Of course. Lu Feng left this information to make these guys in Noble's team guess wildly, so that his 102 team could leave the building more safely without anyone noticing.

His strategy was successful, and with the help of sonar, optical camouflage, and the distracting information they left behind, they avoided the Noble team that came in to search for them, leaving unhindered, and soon returning to their respective shuttles to continue their surveillance or "babysitting" mission.

The Noble team, who had searched the interior of the building and found no suspicious signs, also withdrew after rescuing a noisy surviving girl. The previous survivor girl did not witness the actions of Team 102, so Lu Feng did not intervene in this part of the plot.

After leaving the communications base station, Noble Team moved on, pursuing what Command had called the Covenant forces. The relay station they had previously arrived at was followed up and occupied by UNSC's Marine forces.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the scene where the previous 501 squad ambushed the Covenant infantry, and their doubts reached the peak after seeing the huge craters created by the M920 Cain cannon and the corpses of the Covenant troops all over the ground.

At this time, Team 501 had already completed its capture mission and was on its way back to the Pegasos. But the battlefield they had just fought looked very new. The large number of energy weapons and Mass Effect acceleration weapons left a mark that was clearly very different from the battlefields that Noble's team had seen.

"Command, this is Noble Squad, and we have found a large number of Covenant infantry corpses and a crater left by an unknown heavy weapon at Pursuit Point 4. I know my security level is not the highest, but if there are other Spartan units deployed nearby, please tell me. We found a large number of traces left by unidentified weapons at the scene......" Carter, the leader of Noble's team, shouted in a very eager tone through the communication channel.

However, although he reported the vision he saw. But it didn't attract the attention of his immediate superiors. At this time, the UNSC fleet command received a large amount of vague information, all of which showed that the Star Alliance had discovered Zhiyuan, and the remaining question was when the Star Alliance's invasion fleet would arrive and how big it would be.

Compared to the arrival time of the Covenant's invasion fleet, the fleet command department is more concerned about the size of the upcoming Covenant fleet. Although it has been fighting the Covenant for 20 years, the exact size of the Covenant fleet has always been a mystery to the UNSC.

A few years ago, during the Battle of Abundance, they had fought dozens of battles with the Covenant fleet around that star system. At that time, the prevailing view of the UNSC's fleet command was that the total number of warships of the Covenant should not exceed 1,000.

Because at that stage, the number of warships sent by the Star Alliance to the main battlefield of the Rich Star did not exceed 100 warships each time. The battle between the two sides for the surface of the Fertility Star has lasted for several years. However, the decisive battle of the Fertile Star that ended a few years ago proved the previous estimate wrong.

The strength of the Star Alliance is far greater than the UNSC has always expected, and the increasingly large-scale fleet battles in various corners of the Bojiang Star Region in the past two years have made the UNSC realize that the actual fleet size of the Star Alliance is probably several times that of its own.

And then take into account the huge gap in military science and technology between the two sides. The disparity in actual military strength between the two sides is even more desperate. However, the Reach Star is currently the largest and strongest defensive fortress in their current extraterrestrial galaxy, and if they can do their best to gather the fleets of nearby galaxies, the fleet command will still think that they still have the strength to fight.

It is with this in mind that the entire command is now concentrating on the mobilization of the fleet and the distribution of supplies. As for the small group of Covenant infantry that appeared on the surface of Zhiyuan? They really don't have the energy and the interest to do it right now.

It was in these circumstances that Team Noble's report went unheeded. Command didn't dry them up, though, after checking the status of the rest of the surface. Command decided to have them rearm at the nearest military base and cooperate with other UNSC forces on the ground to survey other anomalous areas on the surface.

So, Noble's team begins their new mission with doubts. They first went to a nearby military base to hand in the captured Covenant weapons. Then they collectively got on the troop carrier and rushed to the latest mission site, a scientific research base in the alpine zone of Zhiyuan Star called the Bayonet Base.

Naturally, Team 102 followed them as before. This research base belonging to ONI is quite remote, although there is a sea nearby, but the ocean is full of ice floes, and there is no way to replenish supplies through traditional marine shipping, and there is basically no access to the road. Only air transport of goods and personnel can be relied upon.

When the Noble team arrived, they collided with a large group of Covenants who had just arrived. With the help of the Marines guarding the base, it took them a long time to clear out the Covenant infantry on the perimeter trying to break in. (To be continued......)
