Chapter 16: Flying Star No. 79
The so-called flying star is a small planet with no running rules.
As a super-large planet, Eland Star is surrounded by hundreds of flying stars on the outside of the planet, forming an extremely magnificent flying star belt.
When you jump into the Eland star field from other planets through space, you may even feel like the Eland star and the flying star belt around it from a distance.
Although the hundreds of flying stars around Elamand are numbered, most of them are still undeveloped.
Because there are a large number of alien life forms on the flying stars, people call them alien beasts.
The alien beast is not an ordinary beast, this is a monster that feeds on alien metals, and has the ability to evolve, and even high-level alien beasts can produce a lot of intelligence.
If it weren't for the fact that the alien beasts had not developed their own technology, it would be very likely that these monsters that still like to feed on humans would directly hit the human planet.
There are alien beasts on all the flying stars around Elam, and the difference is only in the number of them.
Flying Star 79 is a newly developed flying star, and the Eland Star Military Department has established a beachhead base on the flying star, barely maintaining an area that can be used by human astral beings.
With the strength of the military department alone, it is difficult to complete a quick reconnaissance of a new star, and the value of mercenaries is fully reflected at this time.
Ninety percent of the benefits obtained by mercenaries in the new star development stage can be taken, and only one percent can be handed over, which is an irresistible temptation for most mercenary organizations.
Any mercenary organization and individual, as long as they are registered with the military department, can follow the warships of the military department to regularly land on the No. 79 flying star.
Qin Xiao seized this opportunity and decided to come to the 79th Flying Star to look for steely and rock exometals.
He dared to take the risk because he had been to Flying Star 79 before he was reborn, and he had been fighting here for a whole year.
The first piece of steel and rock alien metal on the No. 79 flying star was captured by Qin Xiao's unit at the beginning.
Yes, it is to catch, not to mine.
The steelstone exometal, which is not a conventional metal, is a more biologically strong metal, so much so that there has been a phenomenon of bestiality.
Steelstone exometals, which move on their own, are extremely sensitive to fluctuations in star power.
At the beginning, Qin Xiao's unit gathered the strength of the whole army, and it took several months to finally come up with the best means and tools to capture the steely and rock metals.
Traps and fishing nets......
Facts have proved that the trick is not high, as long as it is useful.
The veins of steelstone and exometals, were in the medium-risk area of the No. 79 Flying Star, and although Qin Xiao was very familiar with the terrain of the No. 79 Flying Star, he still didn't dare to act alone and go deep rashly.
For this reason, Qin Xiao found a mercenary mission that was most suitable for his current situation and drew a map.
Since large warships cannot fly in the flying star belt, various aircraft are very likely to be attacked by those alien beasts with flying ability.
Therefore, the mapping work in the development stage of Nova has always been done by mercenary organizations.
Qin Xiao temporarily joined a mercenary group called Waige, which was very famous on the planet Elan.
It has become a B-level mercenary group many years ago, and it is currently the most promising existence in the B-level mercenary group to hit the A-level.
Qin Xiao was assigned to a ten-person squad, which was a makeshift team.
Except for the team leader, who is a veteran of the Swing Mercenary Group, the other team members are all temporarily recruited.
Qin Xiao is the weakest one in the team, the other nine people are all first-order strength of the Lianxing Realm, and the strength of the team leader has reached the third-order of the Lianxing Realm.
Everyone in the armored vehicle is carefully checking their equipment, and they will soon be sent to a medium-risk area that has not yet been detected, and the road behind them can only be solved by legs.
Squad leader Guo Zhen came to Qin Xiao's side and asked, "How is it, are you nervous?" ”
"Also...... Quite nervous. Qin Xiao temporarily changed his words when he said it, he wanted to say that it was okay, but he didn't want people to think that he was too big.
Guo Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be a hero after you start acting, any small accident may kill you." ”
"This is not a time-space battlefield, death is death, but it will not give you a chance to start over."
The last words were said by Guo Zhen to everyone in the carriage, he was very easy-going, and he didn't look like a mercenary at all.
It's no wonder that he has this advice, their team is surprisingly young, except for Qin Xiao, the others are only in their early twenties.
The most common mistake young people make is to underestimate their enemies, especially those young warriors who have been trained in the Chrono Battlefield.
Sure enough, Guo Zhen's advice did not get any response, and a few people even rolled their eyes disdainfully.
Seeing their performance, Qin Xiao had already subconsciously stopped treating them as comrades-in-arms.
It is better to expect them to be able to help them at critical times than to be able to mutate genes when danger arises.
There were still fifty kilometers to go to the destination, and Qin Xiao took advantage of the last time to continuously adjust the mechanical light armor on his body.
For this operation, Qin Xiao, with the help of Xiao Zhu'er, directly entered the arsenal of the Elan Star Military Department to select equipment.
There is no problem with holding weapons and throwing weapons, Qin Xiao knows the situation of the alien beasts on the No. 79 flying star very well, and chooses the weapons that are most useful here.
Only mechanical light armor is the point that he is most dissatisfied with and most worried about.
Mechanical light armor is different from large mechas, because light armor is completely made of foreign metal, the biological characteristics are extremely obvious, which means that in fact, light armor can even be understood as a living mecha.
There will be a spiritual resonance between the mechanical light armor and the star core of the star warrior, and the closer this resonance connection, the more obvious the effect that the light armor can exert.
The mechanical light armor on Qin Xiao's body was temporarily taken from the arsenal of the military department, not only was the quality not high, but more importantly, the spiritual resonance between him and the light armor was very weak.
At that time, this mechanical light armor could not allow Qin Xiao's strength to be fully exerted, and Qin Xiao could only debug it as much as possible now to increase the frequency of spiritual resonance.
"Get out of the car and get moving."
As the armored car stopped, Guo Zhen gave an order and rushed out with everyone.
As if for fear of being attacked by a strange beast that suddenly came out, the armored vehicle immediately left as soon as it put people down.
"Check the star radar and the magnetic radar." Guo Zhen looked around and said in the communicator.
Although he had been inspected many times before, Qin Xiao still carried out the last inspection rigorously.
As for the other young starmen, most of them glanced at them symbolically, with impatient looks on their faces.
Seeing this, Guo Zhen didn't bother to tell anything more, and after reiterating the action plan, he asked everyone to act separately.
Qin Xiao was the first to leave, heading in the direction of due north, the steel rock and different metal veins were just north of No. 79 Flying Star, and he was right all the way to the north.
When Qin Xiao left, the eyes of everyone looking at him changed.
The changes in their eyes were relatively uniform, and they all looked at Qin Xiao's back like fools.
The reason is very simple, the weapons that Qin Xiao brought are really too strange.
Behind him was a long crescent-shaped knife, the widest part of the blade was a foot long, and the knife was nearly two meters long.
He carried the long knife on his back, and the heavy blade seemed to be ready to knock Qin Xiao down at any time.
Although Qin Xiao was nearly two meters tall, it was still very abrupt to carry such a big knife on his back.
This knife is called the Moon Slasher, and almost no one will choose this weapon for battle now.
But that's not the weirdest thing.
In addition to the long knife, he also carried two Tang knives behind his back, and the handle of the Tang knife was on his left shoulder, and the Tang knife and the moon slashing knife formed an irregular cross.
This is not over, Qin Xiao has a crossbow inserted outside his left thigh, and a quiver is tied to his right thigh.
Qin Xiao is now like a warrior who has come out of an ancient legend.
It's a pity that such a quaint shape did not shock, but was ridiculed by other mercenaries because it was incompatible with modern warfare.
"Stop laughing, let's do it!" Guo Zhen stopped the ridicule of the others.
After everyone left, Guo Zhen's face was full of doubt.
"There doesn't seem to be any star power fluctuation on those weapons of his, isn't that a star energy weapon that imitates an ancient weapon, but a real traditional weapon?"
Just when he was puzzled, he glanced down at the star power radar in his hand, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"What's the situation, how did he go so fast?"
According to the display on the Star Power Radar, Qin Xiao was advancing at a high speed at this moment, looking as if he was running wildly without dying.
With his strength at the fifth order of the Star Casting Realm, such a speed is difficult to sustain, and once he encounters an enemy after his strength is exhausted, he will basically not have the power to counterattack.
"Qin Xiao, slow down, don't get out of touch with the team." Seeing this, Guo Zhen hurriedly reminded in the communicator.
"Okay, Roger."
Qin Xiao's crisp answer came from the other end of the communicator, but before Guo Zhen could relax, he found that Qin Xiao's speed had become faster!
"When I talk it's a fart!" Guo Zhen continued to warn.
"Report to the captain, I am within the radar detection range and have not left the team." Qin Xiao's crisp voice came back from the communicator again.
After that, Qin Xiao simply didn't answer any warnings.
"Damn, what kind of shit is this!" Guo Zhen scolded angrily, he had always been good-tempered, and he was already furious when he saw Qin Xiao doing this.
"It's better to die right away so as not to drag down the rest of your teammates!" Guo Zhen scolded angrily.
In the end, he simply stopped paying attention to Qin Xiao and began to carefully observe the star power fluctuations on the star power radar, ready to help the other team members at any time.
As the leader of this mecha team, Guo Zhen has to protect the safety of all team members as much as possible, rather than taking care of a thorn.
But as soon as Guo Zhen started to think like this, Qin Xiao's voice came from the communicator.
"Report, coordinates -32, 127, appearance of enemies, unknown beasts, strength of the first order, number of thirteen."
This was the first enemy attack report of their mecha team after carrying out the mission, and although the other team members had not yet encountered the enemy, they all became nervous because of Qin Xiao's report.
Guo Zhen, who was still thinking about Qin Xiao going to die in a hurry a moment ago, immediately replied after hearing the report: "Don't panic, I'll ...... immediately"
But before he could finish speaking, Qin Xiao's voice came from the communicator again.
"Report, no support needed."
