Due to the suddenness of the incident, Gu Fan had no choice but to end the negotiation with Ramchi in a hurry, and then rushed to the incident point accompanied by Xue Feng.

——The No. 4 resource planet located in the central industrial zone.

It was a reddish terrestrial planet, slightly smaller than the Earth's total size, and more like an unexplored primitive Mars.

As the Queen of Glory approached its destination, the mining base on the planet's surface was clearly visible to the naked eye before it even entered the planet's orbit.

Huge furnaces that have not yet been built, conveyor belts that are still laying tracks, and several industrial nests that have only been framed are all just beginning to take shape, but there are already glimpses of what the future will look like.

According to Machado's account, some strange lifeform recently attacked the engineering servants from the underground mines, taking some of the equipment with them.

What puzzled Gu Fan was that he had already done a comprehensive exploration when he was surveying the planet, and he really couldn't figure out what could escape reconnaissance and live on such a barren and desolate planet.

"Yukikaze, scan the planetary structure again, I want to see if we're missing something."

Moments later, when the ship's scanner was finished, the report it sent back was the same as the results of several previous detections, and there was no sign of native life on the planet.

It's so weird that it looks like you'll have to go and see it for yourself......

In the end, with doubts in his heart, Gu Fan landed in the temporary apron by shuttle accompanied by Xuefeng, because the planet has not yet been transformed into an atmosphere, the current surface of the planet is not able to support life activities for the time being, and there is a possible threat.

Therefore, he deliberately pulled out a set of light power armor from the old human empire from the old human empire from the battleship's ancient armory, which is a multi-functional device that relies on nerve bundles for deep linking, and can provide excellent protection for the user even in the most extreme situations.

According to Makado, the accident occurred in a newly opened underground mine, and when Gu Fan arrived under the leadership of Xuefeng, a familiar rickety figure was already waiting at the entrance of the mine.

"My lord!"

The man was Machado, and he looked terrified at the sight of the two of them, and behind him a construction machine used to dig a tunnel had been damaged, and some sharp weapon had penetrated its power compartment and paralyzed it.

"What's going on?"

After roughly scanning the environment in front of him, Gu Fan asked the old Norman a question.

"It should be some kind of primitive civilization that lives underground, and they launched a sneak attack on our engineering team from the dark cavern tunnels, destroying our mining equipment with their spears."

Regarding Gu Fan's question, Makado seriously explained, although these words seemed to be no problem at first glance, but when you think about it, it is full of slots.

Some kind of primitive civilization? Destroyed the equipment with a spear? Thinking of this, Gu Fan glanced back at the power cabin protected by self-reactive alloy armor, and fell into deep thought.

For a moment, he walked up to the paralyzed device and stared at the dissolution marks on the armor plate, as if it had been burned by a high-temperature laser.

"Do you know what the attackers look like? What are the characteristics? ”

As Gu Fan's words fell, Machado on the side fell into an awkward silence.

"I'm so sorry, my lord...... It happened too suddenly, but the recorders kept some footage that might be useful. ”

As he spoke, Makado took out a black memory chip from the pocket of his robe and presented it in front of Gu Fan with both hands.

"Please take a look."

After taking the memory card and inserting it into the slot located at the wrist, the recorded images were displayed in Gu Fan's memory through neural links.

As unfamiliar pictures quickly flashed through his mind, Gu Fan saw the memories that belonged to a certain engineering servant, and saw that in the dark mine, a short but sturdy figure was running quickly in the shadows.

The moment the other man jumped, he vaguely saw that the other party's left hand was waving a heavy shield, and his right hand was holding a spear that seemed to be forged from metal, and the posture looked somewhat similar to that of a human.

With just one look, a synth at the front of the team was easily pierced through the chest by the spear, and several more identical figures leaped out of the tunnel not far away.

Although the fighting methods of these attackers looked very barbaric and primitive, the weapons they used aroused Gu Fan's keen interest.

The metal spears could penetrate the armor of synthesizers almost unhindered, and even the engineering equipment that accompanied them could be easily cut by the sharp spearheads.

Combined with the damage marks that had just been found from the scrapped equipment, which looked like they had been burned by a laser, Gu Fan roughly deduced that the attackers were probably using a stance weapon with a molecular cutting function.

So, the attackers were a bunch of brutal barbarians who lived underground, behaved roughly, and used high technology? I have to say it's a lot of fun.

However, just as the content in the chip was about to play to the end, a thick and rough voice suddenly caught Gu Fan's attention, and it seemed to be some kind of wild battle cry.

“Waaagh！”

The voice echoed in the empty pit for a long time like the roar of the King of Beasts, as if to warn the intruder in front of him, and the next second, as a silver-gray spear was thrown in front of him, the contents stored in the chip were also cut off at this moment.

Recalling the pictures he had just seen, Gu Fan silently raised his head and cast his gaze on the dark and deep mine tunnel in front of him, and the savage roar in the darkness seemed to still be echoing in it.

This voice was so unexpectedly familiar that it always seemed to have been heard somewhere, but Gu Fan couldn't think of it for a while.

For a moment, I heard him ask unhurriedly.

"Makado, how many tunnels have we dug now?"

"Seven-of-a-kind."

After receiving the reply, Gu Fan immediately moved his gaze to the snow wind on the side.

"I need a team of guards, and by the way, put down the battle puppets within the Queen of Glory."

"Machado, I'll give you the command of these battle puppets for the time being, and your mission is to take care of the other six mines, and by the way, prevent those guys from attacking the base."

......

"Yes, I won't let you down again this time, my lord."
