Time flies by during the cold exploration, and gradually the mercenary recruits find that the test of 'Evolutionary Glory' is far more cruel to them than they imagined, and the area where the trial is conducted is as if there has been no removal of dangerous species at all.

Fifteen days later, on a double-sun inclined afternoon, in the vast desert of Sea Sand Star Area 127, a figure as fast as the wind surrounded a monster with a body length of nearly a foot and an earthy yellow shell completely integrated with the surrounding environment, looking like a poisonous scorpion, but behind the tail stood three terrifying stinging monsters.

Fierce wind blades erupted with the cyan figure with afterimage, constantly whirling, and although it could only cut a shallow crack of less than half a foot after hitting the scorpion's tough crust, the frequency of thousands of attacks per minute quickly made it scarred.

After a futile furious attack, the giant scorpion fell to the sand with a wail, slowly dying.

Seeing the enemy dead, the cyan figure hovered in mid-air two feet above the ground, landed on the sand, wiped the sweat from his face, and thought happily in his heart, "It's another three-star creature that I've never seen before, I've been lucky for the past two days." He walked over to the carcass of his prey and began collecting genes.

At the same time, in the desert in the distance behind him, several tired and heavily armed young men and women strolled over, and when they saw the giant scorpion monster insect lying on the sand, their expressions couldn't help but streak, and one of the sturdy men more than two meters tall walked straight to the giant insect, knocked on the yellow hard shell, and asked in a complicated tone: "Earthling, is this big guy a two-star or a three-star?"

"The preliminary judgment should be a three-star junior creature put, a mountain bear. Zhang Muzi, who was alias 'Earthling' during the trial, replied in as plain a tone as possible without raising his head.

"I look at it as a three-star biotech. Poisonous elemental attack, right?" Hearing this expected answer, the mountain bear couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly, and looked around at a few sand dunes that had turned mottled and light green a hundred meters away. As if asking himself, he muttered as if asking Zhang Muzi.

"You guessed right," Zhang Muzi stood up after doing the gene collection, and said with a smile: "It is indeed an atomized poison element attack, and it happened to be restrained by my wind element..."

"Don't be modest," he let out a long sigh. The mountain bear interrupted Zhang Muzi's words and said in a low mood: "This is already the fourth three-star creature you have killed, and it can't be regarded as a coincidence anyway." ”

It's certainly a blessing to have a teammate of the best in a dangerous interstellar adventure. But in the mercenary trial where everyone is an opponent, a companion with strong power may set himself off as extremely mediocre, understanding the hidden meaning of the mountain bear's words, Zhang Muzi smiled slightly. Didn't speak again.

Everything he does is to strengthen the gene pool of the brood. With the opportunity to hunt three-star creatures as the center, it will not be missed, and if you tie your hands and let your prey escape in order to wait for support, it will be too much to lose.

Seeing Zhang Muzi's silent appearance, although the loyal mountain bear was in a depressed mood, he no longer spoke, but the fire man with the most impetuous personality in the team was behind Zhang Muzi and shouted unceremoniously: "Earthling." Didn't we say that we would shoot together with our prey, so why do you have to behave like that every time?"

"My mission is to scout forward. But since the bonus points for collecting valuable biological resources in the trial, when encountering a valuable target that can be dealt with independently, of course, you must act decisively," although Zhang Muzi had other plans in his heart and did not want to fight with his companions, he still couldn't bear to be provoked, and frowned and retorted: "If you are not satisfied, you can switch places with me." ”

Hearing this, the angry fists clenched, and the temperature of the air around his body rose faintly, but thinking of the danger that Zhang Muzi encountered during his time as a scout, he opened his mouth and proudly agreed to change positions no matter what.

The other mercenaries around Xinding were inexplicably upset and jealous of Zhang Muzi's rapidly growing combat effectiveness;

And most of them were dissatisfied with the scathing and mean firefighters, even if they felt that the atmosphere between the two had become quite gunpowdery, no one said anything to persuade them, and finally as the team leader, he whispered with a psychic ability: "Okay, earthlings, after fifteen days of running-in, our team has proved that the division of labor is very reasonable, and there is no need to change."

You've done a great job as a scout, and now it's time for the party to camp and rest, so find a suitable spot. ”

"It's not evening yet, it's too early to camp at this time, right?" Zhang Muzi was stunned for a moment, looked up at the sky and asked.

"We've been camping in the wilderness late at night for eight days in a row, and we have less than five hours of rest per person a day after deducting the vigil," replied with a little worry on his face, "Even if you are an evolutionary, the pressure on your spirit is already very serious, and you must relieve your fatigue." ”

Suddenly realizing that not all companions are like themselves, because they have the power to drive the gods and the mother nest as a hole card, they don't care much about the dangers that may occur in the trial, plus they have a rich harvest so their nerves are always in a state of excitement, Zhang Muzi nodded approvingly: "That's right." He discerned the direction and jumped to the right.

In addition to a huge oasis in Area 127, where the mercenaries are tested, there are only two types of terrain: desert and ocean, because there are strong and ferocious xenomorph creatures living under the sand, and the environment is extremely treacherous, so the wild camping will only be safe in the coastal area.

After advancing for more than ten minutes, Zhang Muzi carefully identified the surrounding terrain and finally stopped on a hard mound six or seven hundred meters away from the coastline, which can only be found at the junction of desert and ocean.

After waiting for a while, the rest of the newcomers in the same group slowly followed the indicator to his side.

Looking at the surroundings and stepping on the ground with his feet, McGee said with satisfaction: "The condescending terrain, the hard ground that is not conducive to the sneaking of creatures under the sand, and the distance from the ocean is just right, enough to deal with sudden accidents such as tsunamis, it is really a good campsite." ”

"Yes, earthling, thank you for your hard work. As the leader of the team, he nodded approvingly, and then slapped his face and said, "Okay everyone, the camp has been found, except for the scouts and guards, everyone else should hurry up and build the camp." ”

Hearing the leader's orders, the mercenary newcomers reluctantly took action, according to the previous division of labor, or to deal with the ground, or to set up tents, or to go to the beach to collect water through water purifiers, or to build a simple defensive fence, after a busy time, a decent field camp appeared on the mound.

After completing the construction of the camp, Murmur, as the only woman in the team, began to mix the fresh animal meat that had been purified and freshly caught in the wild with the compressed convenience food that Resource Star explorers must have, plus her special condiments, and cooked them on a solar stove.

Since she is interested in becoming an interstellar mercenary, in fact, except for Zhang Muzi, everyone in the team can handle simple food, but the taste is lackluster, which is too far worse than Murmur's cooking skills, so gradually cooking food has become Murmur's exclusive job, and it is precisely because of this that she has somewhat stabilized her position as the leader of the team.

This sounds a bit ridiculous, but if you really go on an interstellar expedition, and if you have experienced the life of a long period of mental tension and walking on the edge of danger every day, you will understand how important it is to turn decay into magical mastery of cooking, maintain a good attitude, and maintain combat effectiveness.

The smell of cooked food comes out after a while.

On another piece of hard land a hundred meters away from the Xinding camp, several elite mercenaries who acted as protectors and evaluators sniffed at the aroma and unconsciously sniffled, and the rock in it looked at the tasteless compressed jerky soaked in boiling water in his hand, sighed and whispered: "If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't take the initiative to contact these Xinding during the trial, it's really good to go and ask for a bowl of broth now." ”

"Man, you are also a senior elite in the organization, can you cook food with such a strong aroma because of your appetite during the 'Resource Star' expedition, and go to beg for a bowl of broth, and be careful of being besieged to death by the alien beasts attracted by the fragrance. Another member of the team reminded the tall 'shield' of a laughing joke.

"The highest level of known alien beasts is only a four-star resource star, but it can't spare my life, Volcano. Panshi looked at his partner who could rely on life and death, laughed and said, his brows suddenly frowned as soon as the words fell, and he stood up vigilantly.

And as he got up, the heavy armor on his back was like steel attracted by a magnet, and it automatically attracted to the elite mercenary's body.

Seeing Panshi's vigilant movements, although the other elite mercenaries didn't notice anything unusual, they still got up in a hurry, instantly entered the armed state, and put on a defensive formation, but at this time, a lazy voice suddenly sounded in the communicator, "Panshi, you guy is obviously a simple power-oriented big man, but he has a more clever intuition than a brain domain evolutionary like me, but he is really a pervert."

Okay, don't be so nervous guys, it's me who came on the trigger, and it looks like the routes of the trials of our two teams of caretakers are overlapping. ”

"You guy still looks like a ghost, knowing that we're already camping, and deliberately going into a stealth state. As the leader of the team, Kuaipao's nervous expression relaxed again when he heard this, and then he saw several tiny figures appear in the sand in front of him.

As the distance got closer and closer, the figure slowly and clearly appeared, the three people in front were a strong man in heavy armor in front, followed by a man in black wearing windproof goggles who could not see his facial features clearly, and a young woman with a headscarf wrapped around her head;

The latter four are a combination of two tall 'shields', one brain domain to the 'turret', and one element to the evolutionary as a 'guerrilla' in the 'Evolution of Glory' elite mercenary standard grouping mode. (To be continued......)
