Chapter Twenty-Six: Quietly, Your Companion Becomes Someone Else. (Ask for collection, ask for reward)
"Actually, you don't have to come along." Chen Guo, who was wearing a basic spacesuit, looked at Madeleine Callivan, who was fully armed beside him, and a helpless look flashed in his eyes.
This woman is worthy of being a strong woman who dares to turn her face with Astarte, knowing that the road ahead is extremely dangerous, but she still has to hit it up, and her aunt, who is quite an adventurer and a bitter examiner, is a virtue, and I don't know if everyone in the Caleven family is such a head iron.
"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry about me, if you encounter danger, you can leave on your own."
"Leave on your own? You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and if I sneak back alone, I won't even be able to get on the spaceship! Chen Guo rolled his eyes, "By the way, did you report the matter of the Bearer?" ”
Madeleine Callivan was silent, and after a long moment she said, "Please forget about it." ”
Looking at her expression, Chen Guo understood that this matter had been suppressed, and someone didn't want to make trouble about it.
It seems that what is due will come eventually......
"Poof!"
There was a violent vibration from the landing module, and the speed of descent began to decrease visibly with the naked eye, Chen Guo knew that this was a precursor to the opening of the landing wings and about to land.
Looking at the altitude display overhead, there is still a distance of less than five thousand meters, and it is expected to be able to land in more than ten seconds.
The retainers and mercenaries in the cabin were loaded, ready for the battle to come.
"Your Excellency~"
Madeleine Callivan handed Chen Guo a laser gun, but Chen Guo shook his head, he was not used to this thing, and the gun had no recoil at all, no different from the water gun, very unhappy.
"Knock~"
The landing capsule finally landed, and the moment the hatch opened, two or three retainers immediately rushed out, and soon there was a signal of safety from outside.
"The atmospheric pressure is high, the world is high, the oxygen is low, there is no obvious unbreathable gas, it can breathe normally, and the temperature is normal......"
As the data was tested and the bulky spacesuit was taken off, Chen Guo stepped on the wet dirt.
They landed in a primeval forest, surrounded by towering trees that could only be hugged by a dozen people, the air was very humid, and the leaves around them were full of water droplets, and they knew at a glance that it must have rained not long ago.
"Master, the signal between us and the other landing capsule has been interrupted, and although the signal with the spacecraft has not been interrupted, it is also very unstable, and it may be interrupted at any time."
"Where was the last place where the signal for Auntie's team disappeared?"
"In ...... Southeast. ”
"Mark the landing pod location and go."
"Wait!" Chen Guo stopped Madeleine Callivan, turned around and walked in front of a retainer with a smile, "Signal, sent out?" ”
"Huh? What are you talking about? ”
Chen Guo didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly pinched him off the ground with one hand, and the electric light flashed rapidly in his hand, and the retainer immediately shook into a sieve.
"Put him down!"
Everyone was stunned, but soon, all the guns were pointed at Chen Guo, and even Madeleine Callivan was confused, although she didn't raise her gun, she didn't stop her subordinates' movements.
However, when she saw that the retainer's body began to drip blue viscous liquid, she suddenly came to her senses and quickly scolded the retainers to put down their guns.
Seeing that there was no chance to turn the tables, this retainer simply didn't resist, and directly turned into a gray faceless man, "You can't kill me, but you will all die......"
"Hahaha" Chen Guo's abrupt laughter directly interrupted his words, "A certain guy said the same thing, she also said that she wanted to come to me for revenge, but it's a pity that until now, she hasn't been able to come to me again." ”
As soon as Chen Guo shook his hand, an even more powerful current came out of his body, melting him in the blink of an eye, turning him into a cloud of blue liquid.
"Your Excellency...... How did you find him? Before Madeleine Callivan could finish speaking, she saw Chen Guo disappear in place like a ghost, and then quickly exploded the heads of several retainers with a single punch.
Not only did not a drop of blood flow from the wounds of these retainers who were shot in the head, but the heads that were shattered and exploded by the impact of the fists began to slowly condense and heal.
"Not a head?"
Chen Guo grabbed a guy's body and tore it with both hands, pulling it into two pieces like plasticine, but what he didn't expect was that it was still alive, and the torn body was slowly healing.
"Do you have to use electricity?"
The mask on Chen Guo's face flashed, and he quickly observed the puddle of "plasticine" in front of him that was no longer humanoid but still wriggling.
After a long while, he struck again, piercing through the "plasticine body" with great force, pinching a moving hard point and pulling it straight out of his body.
It was a very small crystal bead, not much bigger than a sesame grain in comparison, but with the separation of this crystal bead, the constantly wriggling plasticine suddenly made a strange scream, and then immediately collapsed and melted, and no longer wriggled and recovered.
In the same way, Chen Guo also took out this small crystal bead from the body of other "plasticine", and even found the existence of the crystal bead in the slime that was melted by his electrocution, but the crystal bead was dull and shriveled in color, and the inside was covered with subtle cracks, I don't know if it was caused by a strong current.
Compared with it, other small crystal beads are relatively full, shiny and crystal clear, like beautiful blue gemstones.
Madeleine Callivan's face changed completely, so many retainers around her were inexplicably topped, but she still didn't notice it at all, if she blindly believed in these topped retainers at a critical time, wouldn't she die without knowing how to die.
It's just that...... When exactly were they topped?
"Madeleine, you told me before that the advance party of your aunt's fleet descended on this planet and made a brief exploration to discover the remnants of the Golden Age on this planet, right?"
“…… Yes, that's what I got from it, that's right. ”
"Did they return to the fleet?"
"There should be, the advance fleet has very few supplies, and it is necessary to return to the fleet often to replenish supplies."
"Then I understand, I said that there was no reason why rumors began to spread in the fleet, and it turned out that they had already returned with the advance team...... Or rather, the entire advance fleet may have been topped. Chen Guo's face was full of seriousness, "Hurry up and inform the ship, didn't you say that another family master is also here?" Let him be responsible for urgently checking everyone in the fleet on it, no need to say anything, each person will be stabbed, the one who bleeds is a normal person, and the one who does not bleed is the one who is topped, for the one who is topped, it is okay to use electricity, fire, or throw it into space, hurry up and investigate, otherwise after a long time, there will be more and more people who are topped, maybe we won't be able to go back. ”
"I see!"
Madeleine Calivan hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the signal was still stable at this moment, immediately got in touch with the fleet in space, and talked with her uncle in a special secret language for a while, and then said with an ugly face: "A lot of people have been transferred, uncle, they found a large number of eaten corpse remains in some corners of the cabin, and there are many more corpses that have not been found, probably thrown into space......"
"Heh, I finally know why so many people came down, and in the end there was no news, it turned out that they were all backstabbed, this ability to cover others at will, is simply a natural killer, and it should really be stuck......"
Chen Guo closed his mouth urgently, it still belongs to the period of the Great Expedition, and the Assassin Court still belongs to the private army of Uncle Ma, the Palm Sealer, and it will not officially become a department of the empire until the Horus Rebellion breaks out, and now it does not exist except for a few people who know about the Assassin Court.
'Made, almost slipped out again. ’
gave himself two slaps in the face, Lu's experience from the past is still vivid, and some things are better to rot in the stomach for a lifetime.
After being silent for a while, Chen Guo silently said to Madeleine Callivan: "If I am not mistaken, that aunt of yours should also be dead, my advice is not to make any more senseless sacrifices, while you can still go, it is the best choice to leave here as soon as possible." ”
"Your Excellency......" Madeleine Callivan had a struggling look on her face, but soon she was firm again, "Your Excellency doesn't need to persuade me anymore, even if my aunt is dead, I have to bring her body back, and ask Your Excellency to help me." ”
"You're tough." Chen Guo frowned, didn't force it anymore, turned his hand and put away the small beads in his hand, "Did you bring explosives?" Set up a trap here, I always feel like something is approaching this way. ”
The retainers did not move, but looked at Madeleine Callivan until the latter nodded, and then skillfully began to place mines around the landing module.
Taking advantage of their efforts to lay mines, Chen Guo checked the retainers who were still alive and counted the number of people.
Including him and Madeleine Callivan, there were only fourteen people left alive in their landing capsule.
In addition to the seven retainers of Madeleine Callivan, there are also three interstellar mercenaries and two retainers of Aunt Madeleine Callivan...... I don't know how many of these people will survive in the end.
Following the location where the signal finally came, the team began to move quickly through the primeval forest, but not far after they walked out, a loud bang, accompanied by dense explosions, came from the forest behind them one after another.
Chen Guo felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and sure enough, something found the landing capsule and triggered the mine trap built around the landing module.
Turning to look at the stagnant team in front of him and looking back, Chen Guo urged, "Don't look at it, you can't go even if you want to go now, but your mines are quite strong, don't forget to arrange a little mines along the way, to prevent those who are not killed from catching up and wasting time." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency."
In the blink of an eye, Chen Guo and the others walked through this vast primeval forest for several hours.
Except for Chen Guo, everyone else was wearing exoskeleton armor, so they made rapid progress, and in just a few hours, they had walked a distance of at least two hundred kilometers, and there was only a short distance left before the final target location, and it was estimated that they could arrive in half an hour at most.
During the time of hurrying, the sound of mine explosions behind him came three times in succession, and it seemed that the pursuers behind still did not give up.
However, after the third explosion sounded, the mine was never detonated again, and I thought that I either gave up, or I had a vigilant heart and carefully avoided the mine.
Finally, after walking in this endless primeval forest for half an hour, they finally saw a different scenery.
Although it was still in the primeval forest, a huge hole that went down came into everyone's sight.
Examining the dirt at the entrance of the cave, which had apparently been trampled by many people, the tracking experts in Madeleine Callivan's retainers immediately spoke in the affirmative, "Within a few days, at least a hundred people had passed through here, and all of them had gone inward, and none of them had gone outward. ”
"That's it, send a beacon to the ship and get the surrounding teams to gather here...... Your Excellency, what's wrong with you? Madeleine Callivan suddenly stopped ordering and looked at Chen Guo with a puzzled expression.
Chen Guo had the same expression as her at the moment, except that he was facing a retainer.
Although Chen Guo didn't dare to guarantee that this retainer never left his sight during the whole process, he could guarantee that nothing happened along the way, and he had been keeping an eye on everyone's movements.
But just now, when he habitually glanced at everyone with the face of truth, he unexpectedly found that this retainer was actually transferred without knowing it.
"Your Excellency, what's wrong?" The retainer who was transferred in front of him also pretended to have an innocent expression, he looked at Chen Guo in front of him, but he couldn't help but flash a trace of unbelievable fear in the depths of his eyes...... He has such a seamless top bag, can he be found?
What the hell is this human?
"Heh~"
Chen Guo didn't talk nonsense, a punch directly pierced his chest, and forcefully brought out the small blue bead, seeing this retainer screaming and quickly melting into a puddle of blue liquid, everyone present gasped.
If it is said that the colleagues who were topped were killed by the black hand when no one was around, it would be forgivable.
But this retainer has always been with them, how can he be topped?
Suddenly, everyone's eyes began to be full of suspicion when they looked at their companions, until under the order of Madeleine Callivan, everyone took out daggers and slashed the back of their hands, and saw that the wound was not blue liquid but red blood, and everyone put down the small heart that had been lifted suddenly.
"Personally, I suggest that it is okay to send beacons to the spacecraft, but the signal flare does not need to be fired, no one knows how many people have been transferred, it is better not to expose the location first."
"Understood, Your Excellency!"
Madeleine Callivan completely ignored Chen Guo, she did whatever Chen Guo said, as if she regarded Chen Guo's as the backbone.
The still alive messenger quickly sent the beacon back to the spaceship, and Chen Guo no longer hesitated, and immediately led the team towards the downward facing hole.
His hunch told him that Madeleine Callivan's aunt wasn't dead, but she might not be far from death, so he had to hurry up if he wanted to save her.
