(Chapter 28) The first base
At this moment, a grand hunt is taking place in the rainforest of Kata, and the prey to be captured is the blind and arrogant invaders.
Listening to the screams around her, Camille knew that it was the family guards who were supposed to be responsible for their own safety, and they were being slaughtered at the moment, and it was no exaggeration to say that every tree, even every stone in this forest, seemed to want their lives.
In the panic, an agile beast suddenly burst out of the bushes on the side, and the guards quickly opened fire, and several red lasers melted through the beast's vital point, and then barely knocked down the opponent.
Seeing that the danger beside him was temporarily lifted, Camille, who was already exhausted, slowly slowed down, supported his knees with both hands with a panting appearance, and then couldn't help but scold.
"This place is hell!"
At the moment, the original team of nearly twenty people was left with only five guards, as well as three diminutive Kassim slaves, and even the technician who carried the external communication equipment was missing.
This means that unless they can return to the ship's parking place, sooner or later the group will become food for a beast, and eventually be left on the planet forever as fertilizer.
"Mulla, give me water."
Hearing the order, the guard Mula put his hand on his waist and looked a little hesitant, but looking at the other party's increasingly unhappy eyes, he could only reluctantly take off the kettle and hand it to the other party.
Before she could say anything, Camille snatched the jug and poured a few more mouthfuls of water into her mouth, then poured the rest of the water onto her handkerchief.
"Miss Camille...... That's ......"
"Don't you know how uncomfortable it is to sweat?! I can't stand it! ”
Under Camille's willfulness, she finally managed to drain the group's last water reserves, and then threw the empty water bottle at Mula's feet.
At this moment, the two guards on the side suddenly shouted.
"Hey! Come and see this! ”
They were standing beside the beast that Mula had slain, with an unbelievable expression on their faces, as if they had discovered something surprising.
As the rest of the group approached to take a look, they realized that inside the beast's laser-burned wound, there were exposed dense wires like blood vessels, as well as a large number of delicate mechanical devices.
For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
This ferocious creature is actually a complete mechanical lifeform, so how many similar deformities exist in the vicinity......
Could it be that this entire dangerous forest was actually the work of an ancient civilization? In order to carry out their twisted and crazy experiments?
They didn't dare to think about it, at this moment, everyone just wanted to be able to leave this place that made people think about it as soon as possible.
But at this moment, there was another sound not far away, and it seemed that something was moving quickly between the trees.
Camille was visibly frightened, and only listened to her command towards one of the slaves beside her.
"You! Go see what the hell that is! ”
The Qasims, who had been implanted with the voice of obedience, did not dare to disobey a nobleman's order, and in the end a slightly younger slave had to clench the short stick in his hand and walk slowly towards the jungle where the movement was heard.
But only a moment later......
With the tremor of the earth, a huge figure slowly poked its head out from behind the bushes in front of the slave.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
It was a terrifying mechanical worm, its pale, ring-shaped body that looked like a writhing vertebrae, and it was scrutinizing everyone in front of it with a sensor on its head.
As for the slave closest to it, he was so frightened that he was almost unconscious, and he trembled for a long time without moving.
Soon, the giant insect still found the mechanical gray wolf that had fallen to the ground and had lost its vitality.
This apparently infuriated the giant worm completely, and it stretched out its body, and then let out an ear-piercing scream like an alarm from its smasher-like mouth.
Realizing that something was wrong, Emma's guards fired again, but the laser, which was still working, seemed to have no effect on the giant worm's body at this moment.
Several rounds of volleys failed to destroy even the opponent's outer armor, or even scratch them, and this ridiculous attack naturally angered the opponent even more.
As a puff of gray-white smoke was ejected from the mouth of the giant worm, the two slaves standing in the front row were first clothes, then skin and muscles, and finally bones.
It was as if it had been broken down layer by layer, not even a drop of blood could be spilled, and the two slaves who were still alive were evaporated into the air in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Emma's woman named Camille finally couldn't bear it anymore, and while the guards were still fighting, one person ran up without saying anything, and drilled headlong into the dense forest not far away.
Either way, for now she just wanted to get away from the monster and get out of this damn place, listening to the faint sound of gunfire behind her.
What a bullshit queen, what bullshit interests, where do these things have their own lives important!
But before she could take a few steps, Camille felt as if she had tripped over something, and fell heavily on the soft ground.
Looking back, it was the same Kassim slave from the beginning, and the dwarf was looking at Camille with a look of horror, one hand pinching her calf tightly.
"Help Me ......"
The slave still wanted to call for help, but Camille couldn't care so much at the moment, and in a fit of rage she raised her foot and kicked the dwarf in the face.
"Let go of me! Idiot! ”
However, instead of letting go, the other party held it tighter, just as she wanted to raise the stone in her hand and smash it at the slave.
Oh!
I heard an angry roar behind me...... For a moment, Camille only felt that half of the blood on his body was already cold.
When she turned her head in fear, a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth was already hanging above her head.
"Don't ......"
......
......
Inside the spaceship in the planetary orbit, through the sensors of the ship, Gu Fan watched everything that these Emma people had experienced throughout the whole process.
At this moment, as the last of the guards were torn to pieces by those robot giant insects, the planet finally regained its peace once again.
According to the information found not long ago, this planet called Kata is indeed a bit special, because as a border colonization planet, its biggest role is not to develop human habitation.
To put it simply, it's more like a planetary nature reserve, with some rare alien creatures, and many long-extinct creatures that have been artificially recreated on this rainforest planet.
As for the mechanical worms, they were in fact the keepers and recorders of the sanctuary, and the hapless Emma were apparently mistaken for thieves who had come to poach animals.
The most unfortunate of them all belonged to the arrogant-looking Emma woman, who was unfortunately served lunch by a four-armed bear, and her beautiful head was torn from her body alive.
However, to Gu Fan's surprise, after many confirmations, the human colonies here seemed to be more intact than expected, and at the same time, there was actually a fairly complete research base under the planet.
Relatively remote location, abundant available resources, and a complete set of colonial facilities.
Thinking of this, Gu Fan immediately gave an order to the snow wind on the side.
"Let's see if we can get in touch with the colony's AI."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to the emerald green planet in front of him.
"If we can, we'll take over the planet."
