"How the hell did Warfield fall?! Isn't there a repair station for the platform?! Yang Yi couldn't understand the crash of Warfield's ship at all, "Is he reluctant to even go to a repair station?!" ”

“…… I think it's because the current defense platform has basically lost its ability to function. After a moment of silence, A1 uploaded a set of images to the Star Map console, allowing Yang Yi to see the situation on the platform - the pictures were very monotonous and simple, only the overwhelming number of xenosaurs and corruptors, which were too numerous to count, and took up most of these photos.

"We have lost all contact with the platform and the surface, and there is reason to suspect that the eculus of the alien worm has infected the communication module of the command center...... The Rangers and the Empire should be in a state of confusion at the moment, and according to Hyperion's Captain Mathorner, Renault himself had descended to the Alien Hive on the surface of Char with the other drop pods, and was currently in a state of disconnection. ”

"Is there a backup means of contact? We need to at least be clear about the situation before we can respond further. Yang Yi stood up from the captain's seat and walked quickly to the communication desk, "Is there a way to contact a soldier alone?" ”

“…… It should be ok. During our previous mission to Haven, we had set up special communication channels with some of the members of the Search Party, and if nothing else, we should be able to connect with them again through these channels. But they may have been swallowed up in the sea of worms by now. A1 reminded.

"Let's get in touch first. On the Rangers' side, I'll put Hubelion in contact with Shantila. It's thanks to me that I threw those darlams down with the Rangers, otherwise there might be some mess on the Rangers' side......"

Char Surface, inside Kings Canyon.

"What's going on out there?" Looking at Ral running back from outside, panting and asking, "Is there any news other than bugs?" ”

"No, I tried to search another fifty meters, but I was soon spotted by the eyeworms." Ral shook his head, sat down against the wall, and muttered with some annoyance, "These ** bugs ......"

In this small cave, sixteen survivors were gathered in their possession. When the fortress was breached by the giant thunderbeast, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment guarding the fortress scattered in the sea of worms, and in the confusion they were separated from the company, and Lal could only gather as many survivors as possible who were willing to flee with him to find such a hidden cave and hide.

"There should still be people guarding the artifact, otherwise the swarm can't still be rushing into the canyon." Four-Eyes guessed, "Why don't we try to break through to the artifact?" ”

As soon as he said this, the others turned their heads away from him, and even Ral lowered his head: rush out? It's God's grace that they can survive here, rushing into the canyon to die? Sorry, they want to live a few more days.

"Huh...... This is the bridge, can anyone hear it? Suddenly, after a burst of noise, Yang Yi's voice suddenly came out of Lal's communicator, which made everyone present stunned.

“…… Can anyone hear me? Yang Yi's voice was mixed with noisy electronic sounds, which made Lal suddenly come back from his shock, and Lal hurriedly pressed the answer button.

"I can hear you! The signal is clear, Commander! Glad to hear from you! ”

The others immediately turned to Ral's side, and Lahr immediately switched his communicator to hands-free so that everyone could hear him.

"Good, good, good." Yang Yi said three "yes" in a row, and Lal seemed to be relieved when he heard him, and then Yang Yi's tone became serious, "Then Lal...... Sergeant, you're the only soldier we can contact who is still on the ground, what's going on on the ground? We need as much intelligence as possible. ”

When Lal heard Yang Yi say that he was "the only one", his heart immediately sank. But he would not fail to obey the commander's orders, but he knew very little. He briefly sorted out the information he knew as much as he could and reported it to Yang Yi.

“…… Our current speculation is that there should still be friendly forces defending the artifact in its direction, but our current strength is not sufficient to allow us to conduct any level of reconnaissance into the canyon interior—"

"You're doing a very good job, now you don't need to continue any reconnaissance, conserve your strength and vitality. It's best that you don't get spotted by the biter. We'll give you a plan based on the information you've provided as soon as possible, and try not to get spotted by the swarm until then. A…… I'm going to have you captain set up an encrypted channel, and that's it, that's it. After speaking, Yang Yi hung up the communication.

Ral looked up at the others, all of whom looked as happy as they had been after the catastrophe. Then they returned to their places and began to scrutinize their gear in full swing.

Soon after, Yang Yi contacted Lal again: "Sergeant Lal, are you still there?" ”

"I'm here, Commander."

"We have made a preliminary battle plan, our side will send reinforcements to your position, and you are responsible for commanding this group of troops. We don't need you to take back the canyon, we just need you to explore the canyon as much as possible, we need the intel inside the canyon, understand? ”

"If you can successfully complete the task, we will consider your next step for promotion." A1 interjected as a reminder.

“…… Understood, Commander. But how are you going to send reinforcements to us? I mean, we're in a cave here—"

"We've found a Kaydarin crystal in the cave you're in, and that crystal has enough of a leap stance for us to leap for reinforcements - you know about that?"

"Kaydarin Crystal?" The survivors of the cave were stunned, and Ral looked at them, only to see a blank face.

"Huh? We've checked with the Pride of Ortaris that there's a small piece of water in your location—"

"I think that's what the commander said." Miles, who was sitting in the corner, interrupted their conversation with a sudden voice, and he slowly stepped out of the shadows, holding the crystal in his hand, and a wry smile on his face.

"I know you like to collect these things, but where are you from-"

"I got it myself from the Star Spirit." Without thinking, Miles replied, "I was going to do research......"

"I'm glad your researcher saved you, otherwise we might have had a hard time figuring out how we could get you out." Yang Yi interrupted Miles, "Time is running out now, let's talk about gratitude when you're safe." Mr. Researcher, just place your crystal on the ground, and the Pride of Ortaris will take care of the rest. Once the hop is complete, you'll be able to put your crystals away and save them. ”

"Anyway, it's up to you now, soldiers. Make sure you complete the mission safely, and I will look forward to your triumph. ”
