Chapter 21: The Stone Egg

Zhao Ruling's words directly woke everyone up, and when they sent a message to the base just now, there was indeed no sound from the other transmitters.

Qin Xiao had already discovered this situation, so he reminded Hu Cheng and Guo Zhen just now.

Zhao Ruling walked up and analyzed: "Our transmitter is absolutely fine, there should be only two reasons why it can't be used." ”

"The base station was destroyed?" Hu Cheng subconsciously guessed.

"There is also a possibility that the base station is blocked." Qin Xiao continued.

"How, what technology can achieve such a large shielding range?" Hu Cheng was a little unconvinced.

Zhao Ruling continued to step forward, came to the side of several people, and said with a worried expression: "If the Star Clan is coming, they will have such a technique. ”

"StarClan!"

Hearing these two words spoken by Zhao Ruling, all the people present changed color.

StarClan is an advanced intelligent race, this race not only has technology far beyond human civilization, but also has a strong physique far beyond humans.

After entering the mechanical civilization, human beings have indeed played a role in the vast universe with the perfect integration of martial arts and technology.

At the height of human civilization, a civilization system of more than a dozen super-large galaxies was even developed at one time.

However, humanity's rapid expansion came to an abrupt halt when it encountered the Star Clan, and was gradually defeated over the long years that followed.

In the face of a race whose strength completely crushes the human race, it is difficult for anyone to calm down.

"Don't worry, StarClan is not as powerful as the legend says, especially the StarClan troops that fight on a small scale, at most they are just elite mercenary teams."

Seeing that the people around him were all frightened, and they were afraid to fight before the war started, Qin Xiao immediately opened his mouth to comfort him.

These words were not like Qin Xiao's forcible belittling of the Star Clan, he had been fighting with the Star Clan on the battlefield in the Northern Territory for many years before he was reborn, so he naturally understood their characteristics.

The strength of the Star Clan lies in their starships and heavy weapons on the ground, and in large-scale operations, they do have a huge technological advantage over human forces.

However, when it comes to individual combat, there is no obvious difference in strength between ordinary Star Clan warriors and human Star Warriors.

The existence of the mecha bridges the physical gap between the human star warrior and the star clan fighter.

This is indeed a race to be taken seriously, but it is not invincible.

"What's next?" Hu Cheng was completely out of ideas, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke.

The situation of the others is similar to Hu Cheng, and even Zhao Ruling, who has been performing well before, is also bloodless.

In the end, it's because StarClan is too strange and mysterious to them.

These people have not really fought against the Star Clan, and the rumors about the Star Clan over the years are basically news that the Human Legion was wiped out by the Star Clan Legion.

In the face of a mysterious and powerful enemy, they can no longer judge by trying.

The unknown is the source of fear.

"StarClan...... Star Beast ...... Flying Star Resources...... Alien Beast ...... Exometals......"

Qin Xiao lowered his head and kept muttering to himself, as if he was reciting a mantra, and the people who listened to it were even more panicked.

Suddenly, Qin Xiao looked at Hu Cheng and asked, "Did you catch any special beasts during the development process here?" ”

Without waiting for Hu Cheng to answer, Qin Xiao continued to ask, "Or have you detected special energy fluctuations, or even mined special energy sources?" ”

"Energy fluctuations? A source of energy? Listening to Qin Xiao's words, Guo Zhen suddenly slapped his head.

"A month ago, the mining team brought back a very strange stone egg, at first we thought it was a strange beast egg, but after testing, we found no signs of life inside."

"But the energy fluctuations inside that stone egg are very strange, sometimes there is no movement, sometimes it is violently turbulent, and it is said that the energy fluctuations are equivalent to a level 8 volcanic eruption when the energy fluctuations are the most violent."

"The weird thing is here, the stone wall like an eggshell has no reaction when it bears the energy fluctuations of a level 8 volcanic eruption, let alone being stretched open, and not even a single crack has appeared."

Guo Zhen spoke eloquently, his face full of shock when he talked about the stone egg.

"What stone egg, why don't I know this news?" Hu Cheng was confused when he heard this, and dragged Guo Zhen to his side and asked.

Guo Zhen said with a wry smile: "I happened to be on duty with the mining unit last month, so I only learned about this news, but the internal lockdown of the news is very tight, so few people know about it, and we also asked for it to be kept secret before." ”

"Confidentiality! Secrecy! Secrecy! Know the secrecy every day! Lao Tzu took his life out to fight for them, and he even hid everything from Lao Tzu. Hu Cheng said angrily.

"Team Qin, does this matter have anything to do with Star Clan?" Guo Zhen was quite calm and hurriedly asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, StarClan is here because of that stone egg." Qin Xiao replied.

"But we've never heard of a StarClan invasion? The StarClan has also been haunting the battlefields of the Northern Territory all these years, how could they appear here? Guo Zhen was puzzled.

"StarClan is just our collective name for that powerful race, and there are humanoids among StarClan. If they are bent on disguise, it will be difficult for them to find their flaws if they are not strong. ”

Qin Xiao just subconsciously said the news he had learned, but after saying this, everyone felt a chill in their backs.

They never imagined that the most feared enemy might be hiding beside them.

"StarClan values powerful energy sources as much as we humans like to dig for star diamonds."

"In my opinion, this accident should be that the StarClan spies learned about the existence of the stone egg, and then gathered people to start acting."

"If that's the case, the number of enemies won't be too much, and the equipment won't be too advanced, and this battle shouldn't be difficult."

Qin Xiao continued to analyze calmly, then looked at Guo Zhen and asked, "Where is the stone egg stored?" ”

"...... in the base" Guo Zhen blurted out, and then understood that Qin Xiao must have wanted to know the exact location, so he immediately changed his words: "On the second basement floor of the base, in Laboratory 13." ”

"What about the base station, where is the location of the base station?" Qin Xiao continued to ask.

"The base station is in the tower of the base." Guo Zhen continued to reply.

"Let's go, let's get closer to the base first, and go over and see what the situation is." With a wave of his hand, Qin Xiao led the team of only 17 people on the road of fierce battle.

When they were still about 500 meters away from the base, the team stopped, and from a distance, the base was extremely deserted, and the lively scene of the past was gone.

Hu Cheng keenly found that there were dozens of corpses at the entrance of the base, and when they saw these corpses, they could basically confirm that the base must have been controlled.

Qin Xiao pointed to a tower on the periphery of the base and asked, "Is the base station there?" ”

"Yes." Guo Zhenbrittle replied.

"Okay, I'm going to grab the tower, you guys don't move, no matter what happens, don't worry about me, you know?" Qin Xiao said very seriously.

"Team Qin, what are you going to do?" Hu Cheng asked nervously.

"Take care of the team, and kill those who dare to make a mess."

Qin Xiao didn't explain anything, and after telling Hu Cheng to restrain the team, he slowly retreated, and after leaving the team for a long time, he chose another direction and swaggered towards the base.

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

The dozens of corpses in front of the base gate are not fake, and it is clear that there are enemy outposts on the periphery of the base.

Qin Xiao approached so swaggeringly, didn't he kill himself?

Sure enough, just when Qin Xiao was only a dozen meters away from the front of the base, a secret door on the tower suddenly opened, followed by a burst of crazy strafing.

From a distance, the mechanical light armor on Qin Xiao's body was directly shattered, and he quickly fell in a pool of blood.

"Qin ......"

Guo Zhen just wanted to shout, but was slapped aside by Hu Cheng.

"Shut up! With the strength of the Qin team, how could it be killed by an attack of that magnitude? Hu Cheng said angrily.

He said this, but his face was honestly full of worry.

"Wait slowly, I hope the Qin team can continue to bring us miracles."

Hu Cheng took out a bottle of wine, took it in his hand and looked at it, and finally put it back.

Everyone was staring at Qin Xiao in the distance, and in order not to expose it, they didn't even dare to use the lookout equipment.

Zhao Ruling's face was also full of worry at the moment, but there was a bit of expectation in his eyes.

As Hu Cheng said, Qin Xiao has brought them too many miracles in this operation.

For Zhao Ruling, the appearance of Qin Xiao also refreshed a lot of her cognition.

She never thought that a young star could do so well, and when she thought of the so-called elite classmates around her, she instantly felt that it was not worth mentioning.

Including herself, it's not worth mentioning.

Originally, Zhao Ruling planned to use the vacation time to have a simple experience to prepare for the next big exam at the Breaking Academy.

met Qin Xiao, so that her self-confidence was completely shattered.

In her opinion, Qin Xiao was definitely the best student in the Breaking Academy.

If she wants to compare herself with such a classmate after entering school in the future, she really can't think of anything to compare with him.

Along the way, in fact, many people have the same thoughts as Zhao Ruling, and frustration has appeared more than once.

But at this moment, everyone's hearts are full of anticipation, wanting to see what other magical performance this amazing young man can have.

Night gradually fell, and the cold wind blew fiercely, sweeping the wind and sand layer after layer to fly towards the base.

In the darkness, a figure suddenly got up with the help of the flying wind and sand, and then rushed to the bottom of the tower like a tanuki.

Without the slightest pause, the figure lowered the wall of the tower and began to think about climbing.

He crawled as fast as he could, and in the blink of an eye he had crawled to the secret door.

People held their breath, knowing that the next step was the hardest moment, and that it was the secret door that was crucial.

If you "knock on the door" directly, even if the secret door will open, the enemy inside will definitely be vigilant.

When the time comes, if you want to rush through the narrow secret door, you must first withstand the fierce fire of the Starlight weapon at close range.

That's no different from looking for death!

Just when people thought they were going to stalemate, the unexpected happened.

In front of the door of the base, more than a dozen figures suddenly stood up!
