The first to discover Lute's whereabouts was Chen Mo.

Several Ruts, hanging upside down from umbrella trees, were eyeing the advance party that had broken into the hinterland.

Chen Mo broke out in a cold sweat.

If the plasma shield hadn't been activated, a salvo from Root, who had just been in the tree, would have been enough for the advance team to peel off the skin.

Motioning to the captain to look up, Chen Mo watched as the captain's cold sweat slid down his face.

"Why didn't they attack?"

Chen Moqi said.

"I don't know." The captain motioned for the team to raise their guns upward, ready to attack.

"War is the ultimate expression of irreconcilable contradictions, but it is not the only solution."

An ethereal voice rang out from underground.

Everyone in the advance team only felt cold air creeping up their heads from the back of their backs.

"What people!"

The captain knew that he had been discovered by the Lute group, so he no longer disguised himself and stood up with a gun.

The fungus blanket in front of him kept wriggling, and finally after half a minute, the general outline of a humanoid condensed.

An anthropomorphic figure composed entirely of a fungus blanket.

Everyone tried their best to restrain the uncanny valley effect, and the muzzle of their guns was pointed at the humanoid fungus blanket in front of them.

"Introduce yourself, I'm the brood you're looking for." The humanoid mushroom blanket uses a male voice.

"Then you shouldn't be in front of us, we can shoot you at any time."

"It seems that you don't think so, otherwise you would have shot in the first place." The fungus blanket smiled: "I am manipulating this fungus blanket with my mind far away, even if you evaporate this piece of land, I am still alive and well." On the contrary..."

I don't know how the brood sent a message to the Root, but I saw the humanoid brood wave her hand, and Lut, who was hanging upside down on the top of the umbrella tree, shook her tail with purple light to the people below.

"You have fallen into my ambush, and I can annihilate you at any time if I want."

The advance party had to admit that this was true.

At some point, around the umbrella tree, several small Lute communities were approaching.

Look at the number of no less than 300 heads.

The number of Syxons is no less than a thousand.

In such a geographical situation, the advance team had no chance of winning.

No one could have imagined that the brood is not only an intelligent species, but also has such a high level of intelligence!

It turned out to be the advance team, and he planned with one hand.

The captain pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"It's just an equal exchange, you took my child and used it for experimentation, and I also need human samples for experimentation." Fungus blanket humanized spreader: "I only need one person." ”

"Why should I trust you?"

"I have the power to destroy you, but I haven't done it yet."

The captain looked at the fungus blanket and then at the hanging Root.

"Deal."

Chen Mo had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, the fungus blanket pointed at him.

"All I need is this one."

"Grass!" Chen Mo felt like he had won the jackpot.

"We need to leave your encirclement before we can hand over the people to you, otherwise after handing over the people, you continue to attack, won't we lose a main player in vain?" The captain pushed Chen Mo forward and said to the fungus blanket.

"Give up the useless struggle, you can't get out without handing over people."

The captain raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at Chen Mo's head.

"Since you want someone by name, you must be very important to you." The captain put the muzzle of the gun on Chen Mo's head: "If I blow his head, I don't know if he will still have any effect on you?" ”

The brood was silent for a moment.

"Cunning human, you can, you can get out of here, but... There's no way you're going to outrun my kid. ”

"That's our business."

The brood seemed to think for a moment, and motioned for Rout to make way for the advance team.

Chen Mo was held to the head with a gun and moved towards the periphery of the umbrella tree.

Chen Mo took a deep breath.

He couldn't accuse the advance captain of the advance team of being right or wrong.

After all, he doesn't have much friendship with others, and it is a good deal to exchange one life for the survival of the entire advance team.

However, Chen Mo has never been in the habit of sitting still.

He planned to activate the phase blockade ability at the moment when the advance team handed him over to the brood, leaving the advance team to break off and kill a bloody way.

The other party is unkind first, and he has no need to keep righteousness.

In less than five minutes, the advance team withdrew from the umbrella grove entirely.

Chen Mo was still held with a gun on his head.

The humanoid fungus blanket with Lut hung behind the advance team not far away.

Seeing that it had left the umbrella forest, the humanoid mushroom blanket took two steps forward.

"Can you give me someone now?"

The advance captain smiled.

"If you can easily destroy us, you won't show up for... Fire! ”

It seemed that the advance team, which had been waiting for this moment for a long time, immediately raised their guns and spat out their tongues of fire.

Chen Mo was stunned.

He didn't know the special gestures of the advance team, and naturally he didn't know that the captain had just communicated with him in sign language, 'Don't be impatient, retreat and counterattack'.

Chen Mo secretly said that it was dangerous.

Fortunately, I didn't do it, otherwise the advance team was afraid that they would be miserable.

"Human..."

The humanoid fungus blanket wanted to say something, but it had been beaten into a sky of slurry by a heavy sniper bullet.

"One group of two groups of fire suppression, three groups of fire crossing! The rest retreated! ”

The captain shouted at the top of his voice.

Strako's creature fought back with ferocity, and the purple eridium energy bullet exploded on the plasma shield with gorgeous purple flowers.

Chen Mo, who had no gun in his hand, became an idler for a while.

"Special Advisor! Knock out the leader! ”

"Which one is the leader?"

"I don't know!"

"Day!"

Chen Mo found a gap in Lute's firepower, and directly rushed out of the plasma shield, copying the alloy blade, the energy on his body surged, hovered in mid-air, and then killed the largest xenomorph Lute.

Root's Etonium Energy Bullet dissolved when it hit Chen Mo's overflowing ability.

In just two seconds, Chen Mo had already cut down the two heads of Lut and killed the biggest Root.

With the knife in his hand, he cut off most of Root's head in one piece, and then turned his hand and plunged straight into Root's body.

The big head of the root struggled and rolled a few times before dying completely.

But the rest of Root did not retreat because of this, and still frantically fired at the advance team.

"Report Shield Charge!" The advance captain replaced the magazine and withdrew as he fought.

"Fifty-seven percent of a set of plasma shields remaining!" After several shots, the leader of the group who finally killed a head of Lut shouted hysterically.

"Forty-five percent of the two groups!"

"Three groups of sixty-three percent!"

"Change four, five, six groups!" The advance captain looked at Chen Mo's rising and falling figure and shouted.

A cross-formation, with the teams that were in front of Root's fire replaced by the next three groups.

Except for He Bi's team, the advance team of nine groups in total couldn't last long.

"Advisor! We need to detonate the micro-Eridium bomb! Buy time! ”

"Leave it to me."

Chen Mo, who was in mid-air, took out a military bomb from behind his waist.

"Withdraw!"

Purple fireworks are as charming as fireworks.

The phase blockade and micro-Eridium bombs completely disrupted Root's offensive formation.

At the same time, the plasma shield charge of the four, five, and six groups has bottomed out, and they have been replaced by seven, eight, and nine groups.

"Retreat!"

This is where the good fitness of the advance team comes in handy.

Compared with the headless flies of the team led by Chen Mo before, the quality of the advance team's individual soldiers is not half a star.

Lu Tequn's attention had been completely attracted by Chen Mo, but he couldn't help him, and long-distance shooting turned into melee hand-to-hand combat.

Root's mouthparts and chelicerae and Chen Mo's alloy giant blades complemented each other, and glow-green blood splattered.

Chen Mo learned the lesson of the last time, he didn't give a chance to be surrounded by Root and Sexon, and he fought and retreated, and caught up with the retreating advance team in a short time.

With the cover of fire and the heavy sniper attack from the commanding heights of the group in the distance, the advance team actually managed to kill out of Root's encirclement with zero attrition.

The corpses of dozens of Ruts were left in the umbrella grove.

Chen Mo himself slashed and killed more than a dozen heads.

The rest of Root did not chase after him, but let the advance party leave the encirclement.

The advance team fled for nearly 10 kilometers before the captain ordered to rest and stand by.

But not everyone has the physical fitness of Chen Mo, who ran for nearly ten kilometers, and the lungs of the running team members were blown up.

Seeing that the pursuers had not arrived, the captain ordered to rest again, and the advance team finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Several people who were in slightly worse physical fitness had already fallen to the ground and were reluctant to get up.

After a while, the sniper team led by He Bi chased after him, except for He Bi, who looked a little better, and the snipers with heavy sniper rifles on their backs all collapsed on the spot.

The captain gulped his breath and looked at He Bi.

"Fuck, what the hell is the brood! How the did you turn into a human?! Can you still talk? ”

Why smile bitterly.

What he saw today was completely beyond his knowledge.

The brood was formed with the help of a fungus blanket and spoke out of her mouth.

If the brood has such a high level of intelligence, how can it be forced into a cramped ecosystem by humans?

"Eidium will be dealing with such a all the time?" "I'm curious why the Corps has almost zero information about the creatures in the biosphere. This simply does not make sense. I don't think it's unusual to even give me a little bit of information. ”

Chen Mo thought so.

If it is said that cleaning up the ecosystem before is the credit of the Yi Neng Society, Chen Mo does not believe it.

No matter how great the energy of the chaebol is, can it still be greater than the corps?

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the ecosystem is really something that Eidium can handle, how can the Corps not know any information about Straker's creatures?

The high wisdom of the brood made several people puzzled.

"What's next?" The captain lit a cigarette and was snatched away: "I'm not afraid of blowing up my lungs if I smoke it after running?" ”

"You go back to the corps, leave me an isotope tracker, I'm going to find the brood." Chen Mo said.

"Are you crazy?"

"You can't keep up with me, and I have to break off if I can't retreat, so you shouldn't have been involved in this matter in the first place." Chen Mo took the cigarette in He Bi's hand: "You have all seen the situation, why is it necessary to carry out the task with me?" ”

"It's true that you're better at mobility, but you can't cover any more than a whole formation." Why retort: "If the brood is a large creature, you rely on the broken knife in your hand?" ”

Chen Mo thought for a moment.

"I can bring a sniper."

"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to find the brood, you can start quickly, you don't need to cover it, the advance team is supposed to do this job. If you can really catch a living brood, it's much more important than whether our advance team lives or dies. ”

The captain seconded.

Why bother opening the map and flattening it on the ground.

"How are you going to do it?"

"If the crazy old man's words are true, the brood does not have the ability to feed on its own, and it can only survive by feeding Straker creatures, then the most likely location of the brood is the interface with the outside world." Chen Mo pointed to the map: "But I'm not sure... I've survived the biosphere before, and I've seen first-hand that cow dogs can herd Quinc chickens, and if the mother nest has animal husbandry behavior, it can exist anywhere in the biosphere. ”

Why bother frowning.

"Since the brood has gathered in humanoid form before, it must be conducted through the neurotransmitters of the fungus blanket. Is there a chance that the location of the brood can be found by neurotransmitter backwards? ”

"It's the kind of neurotransmitter that I tried when we were in contact with the plasma when we retreated, and we couldn't track the pheromones."

Chen Mo remembered the fierce man.

Obviously, the pheromone tracker on the team is much less capable than the fierce man.

If a fierce man makes a move, he may be able to find the brood by pushing it backwards from the thing that has been beaten into a slurry.

"So what's going on now, what do you think?" Why bother looking at Chen Mo.

"Sabotage!"

Why bother looking at the captain.

"What sabotage?"

"Destroying the fungus blanket on a large scale, do you want someone to pick your skin, do you want to kill him?"

"And then?"

"The brood is bound to send Lute to encircle and suppress me, but Lute can't catch me, so the brood can only watch her skin be blown to pieces by me."

Why bother seems to get to the point.

"So the brood will show up?"

"Of course not."

"So what's the point?"

"It's going to go crazy if it doesn't show up, I guess... It's just that I guess ha, there are not many Exexons we see today who can fly, but there are a bunch of flying ones that I encountered in the ecosphere at the beginning. You can say that the brood did not use the source of troops, or it can be said that the brood was hurt by me in the ecosystem last time, and it has not yet recovered its vitality. ”

"So you're going to hurt it, let's find the starting point of the flying Syxon on the satellite map?" Why be thoughtful.

"That's right!"

Why be silent for a while.

"We need time. And even if you do find out where the brood is, it will take time to notify you. ”

"It should be some time before a large-scale Strako creature crosses the Tatsumi Mountains." Chen Mo responded: "As long as the brood is disintegrated before the arrival of Straker's large army, there is no reason for them to continue fighting." If they still want to attack, it means that they are not coming for the brood. ”

"It's the first time I've seen a strategic mission purely by guesswork." Why bother to sigh.

"If you guessed correctly, just like last time, the retreat will be chased by the beast tide." Chen Mo spat out the smoke ring: "I won't accompany you to retreat, I can continue to attack and distract you from some pressure." ”

After formulating the battle plan, several people did not stop for a moment.

Why did he get up and pat Chen Mo on the shoulder.

"Take care."

"Take care." Chen Mo returned the salute.

"All of them, continue to retreat to the edge of the ecosystem."

The captain also stood up and looked at Chen Mo.

"I hope to see you again."

"Yes."
