Death came suddenly.

Chen Xi was having a lot of fun operating the tank, swinging the barrel up and down, left and right, and at the same time letting the chassis try to drift in the opposite direction in the heavy rain, and the piercing alarm sounded suddenly, so frightened that he almost didn't turn the tank over on its side, and hit the shells in the barrel into the air by the way.

"What's going on" Before Chen Xi got off the tank with An Yumo, he heard the speech on the command channel.

"There are soldiers missing, they are in the cave, and the accompanying personnel have not found anything, now please come over, and the rest of the people pay attention to vigilance, and at the same time count the number of people, and all the firepower is ready, in case of an attack, listen to the command to act."

"Sure enough, as I had a hunch, something was going to happen" Chen Xi looked like he was expecting things to be like a god.

However, when Chen Xi arrived at the gathering point, he realized that there was not only one missing, there were three, two of them were in a team, and the other belonged to a single person, all of them were left alone, and then they never came back, and they found out that it was wrong when they changed shifts and counted the number of people.

"Did you send someone to check the nearby passages?"

Chen Xi asked, due to this accident, except for the few commanders who stayed at the crystal arch to accompany the researchers, most of the commanders had already arrived at the cave where the accident occurred, and were discussing around a location. Chen Xi arrived later, so he could only pull a commander who had obviously arrived for a long time and began to ask about the situation.

"It has been dispatched, but unfortunately, only some traces of drag and attack have been found in the specific place where the accident occurred, but no part of the attacker has been left. After discussing it, the people who arrived first decided to let some people take care of the scene, while others continued to inspect in depth. After answering, the commander sighed, "It's really strange, these soldiers are equipped with mechanical power armor, but they can't get the news out when they are attacked, are these attackers more powerful than the Zerg?" ”

"Oh oh, I see, I'm curious, so I'll go and see first." After Chen Xi had a general understanding of the situation, he decisively abandoned the commander. Relying on An Yumo's absolute force value to open the way in front. Forced to squeeze in.

The people who arrived first gathered in a circle, leaving only an opening in the direction of the inside, and after Chen Xi followed An Yumo in, he saw that the ground was full of broken glass slag and many broken armor parts, some of which had bite marks. Others seem to be distorted by a powerful force. Then lift it from the inside.

"It looks like you got in with a drill. However, the soldier seemed to have little resistance, and was immediately controlled, with few traces of struggle. Chen Xi judged with his own experience.

"If it's from this point of view. The size of the attacker should be relatively large, and it can quickly limit the soldier's struggle, but there is also another possibility, the attacker may have more than two kinds, one restricts the soldier's movement, and the other drills in, directly eliminating the soldier's resistance, after all, while restricting them, there is only one biological tool that can be drilled, we should not be so unlucky to encounter, and the way these attackers come is also very abnormal, the armored helmet has a prompt function, is very sensitive to heat sources and sound wave objects, and can approach without being detected, It is not only those who are inside the cave that may need to be careful, but also those outside. ”

As a criminal, he is quite familiar with these aspects, and his analysis is also comprehensive, plus his voice is deliberately not lowered, and the people around him can hear it very clearly, so when Chen Xi finished speaking, someone couldn't help but ask: "Brother has done this before, so professional?" ”

Inexplicably encountered such a change, the people present were a little dazed, they did not come here this time to investigate and deal with the homicide case of an unknown creature, but to come to guard and fight, encountering this kind of thing is completely blind, can have a professional analysis, it is naturally better than their own blind guessing here.

"Of course not." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "On the contrary, I belong to the one who was arrested by them, I just like to watch all kinds of detective novels, movies and TV series in my spare time, no less than thousands, so I know all kinds of murder, covering up traces and hiding methods, and by the way, it can also be beneficial to the development of my business and prevent being caught by them." ”

"Well, it's my misunderstanding, don't worry about what you said just now, you go on." The person who asked the question just now retreated a little stupidly.

The people who knew about Chen Xi's situation laughed secretly in their hearts, after the battle of Tifa Planet and the spread of the past three days, more people have known about his affairs, but there are still some people who don't know, such as officers like them, who generally look down on criminals, are not interested in knowing who the guy who can capture the brute beast is, so this misunderstanding will be caused.

Chen Xi didn't care what they thought, and continued: "As far as I know, the Zerg should not have such strange attack methods and interests, they have always liked to kill us directly, in fact, I think that if those researchers are right, then we are facing the native creatures of this planet, some people who like to be nocturnal, and these caves that don't know how deep they are probably their nests to hide from the hot environment during the day." ”

"In addition, when I stayed with the researchers, I found out that the strange leaden white liquid in the rivers on this planet can isolate the detection of many electronic instruments after solidification, which is probably the reason why the Space Prison cannot effectively explore this planet, and it is difficult to work with our helmets."

Chen Xi's words are hard not to be convinced, after all, no one knows the function and usefulness of the equipment on their bodies better than them, and in addition, this matter is also related to those researchers, although sometimes they feel that they are very troublesome, but in their hearts they must believe these people who are at the forefront of the discipline.

After the words were finished, the commanders had almost established enough impression of the attacker, and the quick reaction was already shouting in the command system: "Be careful with me, don't rely on the function of your helmet, give me enough searchlights, and watch with your eyes, this time the guy may be even more terrifying than those on the planet Tifa, and I will pay attention to the cave that is still in the cave, and aim the direction of the gun in the cave."

As for Chen Xi, this person. They already fully agreed in their hearts, and they were no longer dissatisfied with his promotion from the status of a criminal to the position of commander, but they all felt that this kind of thing was normal, and they could find the characteristics of so many attackers in a short period of time, if it was used in war, it was a natural tactician, who could easily find the characteristics of the enemy and make targeted arrangements.

At this time, the soldiers who had been sent to the depths of the cave also made a discovery.

"Captains, come here. The situation here is strange. It seems to be a ritual that only intelligent beings can do."

However, only a small number of people really went down.

Considering that the previous accident location was not too deep, even if there was danger, they could return to the place where the troops were most abundant in time, so most of the bored commanders came over to see what was going on. But now it's deep into the cave. In case of an accident. It was difficult for them to come out in time, so they only let a small number of commanders go down with soldiers, and Chen Xi was one of them. There were also two researchers who had been forcibly dragged over.

They are very dissatisfied with this kind of thing, because they have already made a major discovery in the study of the light curtain, and if this discovery is turned into a result, it can even push the Federation's technology forward for hundreds of years, directly affecting the outcome of the war. Now they have suddenly left behind the really important things and have been pulled over, and everyone has a fire.

"That kind of light curtain is a fast-moving technique completely different from our warp engine and the wormhole of the Zerg, if it is studied, combined with the warp engine technique, we don't have to worry about the Zerg's strength advantage at all, and even in a local range, it can also form a numerical advantage over the Zerg."

The researcher, who was held in the air by two soldiers, shouted to himself, apparently still obsessed with the work outside, hoping to use words to make the elm heads in front of him understand that nothing was more important than what they were doing.

It's just that Chen Xi quieted the two of them down with just one sentence, and then his eyes became extremely fanatical: "The things in it seem to be related to that mysterious race, as if they represent some of their customs and hobbies, if we can do what they like and understand them in more detail, we should be able to quickly establish a basis for communication with them." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier, take us there quickly," the two of them immediately said urgently, obviously it was faster to have relevant people to guide them than to start research from scratch.

"Or you have a way." The commanders who followed breathed a sigh of relief, it was not for nothing that the words were interlaced, without the help of these researchers, they would not have wanted to decipher what these things they found belonged.

The location was in a large cavern inside, with many holes in the walls, presumably connected to many caves, and from time to time you could hear the sound of the wind blowing, and as the soldier had said before, the arrangement here looked like a ritual.

Many strangely shaped, shriveled skulls hung from stalagmites growing on the ground, some T-shaped like sharks, some streamlined with shells, and some covered with spikes, all of which you would never imagine, but the common denominator was that they were all large, with heads about the size of their bodies.

Next to the stalagmite, there are some strange symbols carved into them, similar to what Chen Xi saw in the crystal building on the planet Tifa, and it is up to two researchers to decipher it.

"What is written on it, looking at the feeling of this placement, it looks like some kind of trophy used to commemorate and show off." Seeing that the two researchers seemed to have gained a little, Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.

"You guessed it, it's a show off of them, part of the trial, to display the loot in this cave after it's over, for posterity to see." The older researcher nodded, "In this respect, it seems that this mysterious race has not yet escaped its savage habits of war, and the concept of this kind of treatment of the enemy is still at the level of primitive society, and there is a fanatical belief in the pursuit of personal strength. ”

As he spoke, his tone became a little solemn: "If this is the case, then we must be careful, once we become enemies with them, it is difficult to change, unlike our modern wars, which are often full of compromises, with this old concept, their attitude towards war is almost endless." ”

When Chen Xi heard this, he immediately sent his words to all the commanders and asked them to pay attention to this. And in his head, he also heard the system's prompts at the same time.

[Note: You have established some sort of conceptual understanding of the Protoss through other means.] If the difficulty of the mission remains the same, you will be rewarded with 200 evolution points.

"Sure enough, science is the primary productive force, and even the acquisition of evolutionary points is the same."

Chen Xi was smug when the researcher's voice became strange: "However, something seems to be wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" Chen Xi asked suspiciously, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, this is decisively another death flag.

"There are some problems with the date that appears on this, although I don't understand that it is the specific day and time on this planet, but. The intervals are all the same for the same period of time. The most recent date appears to be within this time period, and in addition, there will be a warning left by the comer in the later part of the information. The meaning that appears most often in it is the tide. It seems to warn latecomers. If you don't have enough strength, it's best not to set foot in this place during the time of the high tide. ”

"You're saying that we came to this planet in the time they warned about it. And it just happened to be here in danger. Chen Xi noticed that the researcher's tone at this time was not so much uncertain as disbelief.

He undoubtedly had a feeling of being speechless and asking the sky, and stretched out his hand to point to the caves on the surrounding rock walls and said, "In other words, it is very likely that a lot of dangerous guys will emerge from here in the next period of time. ”

"Well, so to speak." The researcher nodded dumbly.

The two of them suddenly looked at each other a few times, and then they ran along the same path, and said to everyone as they ran: "Inform the others, hurry up and get out of the cave, there will be a big problem here."

The so-called crow's mouth is like this, saying that Cao Cao Cao is here, the voice has not fallen, no need for others to remind, many people have already identified the situation from the sound coming from the cave, it seems that something is pouring out quickly, causing this connected cave, the buzzing sound is getting louder and louder.

"Oops, we're right where they're assembled!" Chen Xi screamed, day and night, but he didn't expect that this time the death flag was too widespread, and he didn't even let himself go.

And outside, after Chen Xi's reminder, the federal army was obviously ready for battle in advance.

Searchlights emitted by various vehicles and tanks shine through the heavy rain and fog on the sky and ground, and guns are ready, always aware of any movement around you, including in the cave. Because after all the counts, they found that the number of missing people was not three, but seventeen, all of whom were discovered later, so they became more careful not to let go of anything that emerged from the cave.

However, this preparation seems to be somewhat insufficient.

"Look at the heavens, what is that? There are so many things flying in the sky, there are so many of them! At the front of the line, a soldier in the cab suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted in horror.

Under the thick black clouds, a group of things poured in from all directions, gathering in the direction of the valley, and there were so many of them that even the rain curtain that fell became sparse, and many people even found that their radar was covered by dense green dots, almost the same as not.

"I don't think it's much easier than fighting bugs."

Before they could report the situation to the commanders, at the same time, the other caves that were not connected to the cave where Chen Xi was staying, the battle had already started.

Many people have seen some huge black shadows pass between the stalagmites above the cave, and then there are strange figures that swoop down. Fortunately, they were prepared, and the crowd was not caught by this attack, and quickly launched a counterattack to engage these strange creatures.

It wasn't until they had a clear line of sight and really saw these creatures up close that they were surprised to find that the soldiers couldn't take precautions in time before they had anything to do.

It turns out that these things only reveal a noticeable dark color when they move quickly when they are illuminated by light, and if they are not illuminated by light, or when they are lurking, they are not visible at all, but even then, if you don't pay close attention, you will simply confuse them with the surrounding basalt.

"I finally understand that finding a habitable planet for what is suitable for living creatures will enjoy a huge income of 10% from the follow-up development, and in the face of these creatures who don't know what the way is, there will be strange behaviors, and they are completely fighting for human lives!" At this moment, many people no longer despise those who explode into wealth, but have a feeling of sympathy.

And when the fierce gunfire rang out, almost all evolutionaries could hear a single voice.

[Note: PEJ-X4's semi-monthly tide begins, and the mission difficulty rises to E+].

Then there were all sorts of terrible roars in the chain of command.

"Everyone get out of the cave, Lao Tzu only gives you 1 minute, if it's late, it's a dead end"

"Bastard, don't care about the things in it, give me a little numbness, the muzzle is right, and I will fire at Lao Tzu when I see any abnormal movement"

"All the personnel outside are paying attention, change the ammunition you should use, target the air, hit the fuck"

The King Tiger Cannon opened the bracket, filled it with splitting shells, and fired fiercely at the top of the gun.

The front lid of the raider assault vehicle was pulled open, and the automated robotic missiles rose into the air, reaching a position in mid-air, and they all looked for their targets.

At this moment, all the weapons within the valley were in a state of busyness, and for Chen Xi, who was still in the cave, it was a little sad because he was lost. (To be continued......)
