"Captain, I have communicated with them."
Thirty minutes later, Tie Mei's communication came through, and he could hear that his mood was a little low. Everyone in the team channel could hear the voice, and Spades was the first to speak: "Tiemei, what's going on with them?"
"Let's talk about the situation first. The clothes on the four people are damaged to varying degrees, which can be judged as losing their protective properties. Before Huan Xing's disease is confirmed to have been eliminated, I think they may have been infected."
"Is there any basis for judgment?" Lu Ning took over the conversation.
"Not at all. I asked them to sit in the back of the car and were returning. Their team was attacked by B-class creatures. Both the captain and the deputy captain were sacrificed. Now the remaining four people...one is reconnaissance, one is assault, and one is Medical and a technology.”
"An attack by B-class creatures?" Qiu Shu was a little surprised.
Tie Mei paused for a moment before replying: "That's what they said. We haven't discussed the specific situation yet, and it's not easy to discuss... Now two of the four people are a little excited, and the other two seem to be frightened. ”
"It's normal. Many of them, including you, are not soldiers." Lu Ning was not surprised. "It's normal to have extreme emotions when encountering this kind of situation. But since he is willing to come back with you, he must have been comforted?"
"I can still do this. But Captain, can we really let them enter the outpost?"
"Since no signs of infection have been found, it doesn't hurt to bring them back. We are short of manpower."

After Tie Mei brought the people back, everyone except Longmai came over to "greet" these people. Such a formation also made the four people who came feel a little flattered.
Of course, Lu Ning actually wanted to examine his injuries.
The one on the assault soldier was the most obvious. There was an oblique tear from the left shoulder to the right rib of the space suit. Except for the innermost layer of super elastic fiber, which was still slightly connected, the outer layers of protection were all shredded. Naturally, this will not have any biochemical protection effect. The same goes for the Scout. There are hundreds of small holes the size of fingernails on the abdomen and chest. If this layer of clothes hadn't blocked it, they would have turned into honeycombs.
As for the other two, things were better. The medical soldier only had three scars torn open on his right glove, and the technical soldier had a rhombus-shaped cutting hole on his leg.
Needless to say, there are traces of dirt on their bodies. The helmets of the four people are all transparent. Lu Ning can easily see their emotions from their expressions - they are all young. In other words, the team has experience. The rich ones are probably all dead.
"Now...you go through the costume change first, and then I need someone calm enough to explain to me what's going on. I'm the captain of this team, and I'll ask about your wishes later."
After Lu Ning finished speaking, she raised her hand, and Qiu Shu immediately led the four of them to the isolated changing room at the outpost.
"Tiemei, come with us and tell us your impressions of these four people. I think our team also needs to know about these people who may work with us in the future."
Tie Mei pondered for a moment and said: "I am just a martial artist, so my opinion is somewhat biased. It is obvious that two of the four combatants are still in a state of excitement. If you want to ask, I suggest you ask The commando Kong Gu, he should have some combat experience, has not lost the spirit of youth and is a little more mature. He should not give you too extreme opinions. As for the scout Qingniao, she is a bit... too young. I can understand her anger and sadness about the death of her comrades, but being emotional will make people die in a place like this, either this time or next time."
"We have a peer who is calm enough. I think they can communicate well." Lu Ning glanced at the bayonet next to him, and the bayonet was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
Tie Mei laughed twice, and then continued: "As for the other two, I can't judge from the professional field, but at least they are no longer good at combat. The technical soldier Lei Wang has obviously shown his war weariness, but fortunately he can still carry out the battle. A normal conversation, but the previous encounter obviously caused some confusion in his logic, and I couldn't quite understand what he said. The medical soldier Zhenmai behaved like a person who encountered the battlefield for the first time. He was slow and had mixed emotions. It’s pretty good without occasional vomiting.”
"Medical soldiers shouldn't have this kind of problem." Yang Hao snorted, "Death is the thing they come into contact with most often, and all kinds of strange corpses can always be seen."
"Do you need me to remind you? We are not medical soldiers who graduated from the military academy." Spider retorted without politeness. "For us, treating diseases and soothing pain are daily experiences. We have never faced monsters. and the battlefield.”
"However, you standing here are a living counter-example. When you were exploring the outpost, you didn't feel any discomfort with those monsters." Yang Hao sneered, "Unless you are the kind of well-informed guy." He deliberately put The word "well-informed" is very strong.
"There is no point in arguing about this. Individual differences cannot be ignored. In this case, I will talk to Kong Gu, the bayonet will be responsible for the blue bird, the spider silk will be responsible for the needle vein, let the thunder net assist the work of the dragon vein, and Qiu Shu will prepare the drone and satellite communication Signal, we will immediately investigate the location after learning about their team's encounter. Recorder and Iron Eyebrow, immediately go to the production line to manufacture gravity nuclear restraint bombs and fragmentation armor-piercing bombs, and prepare bio-attractants and fog cloud fillers using goat hair and insect bait. , Spades, you go out immediately and adjust our entire investigation system."
"yes!"
After arranging everyone's tasks, Lu Ning walked into a conference room. About ten minutes later, Kong Gu opened the door and walked in.
"Captain DU-003, thank you for helping us." He bowed solemnly to Lu Ning.
"Sit down, it's normal for colleagues to help each other. In addition, I also need to know what happened to you. The location where you appeared is not too far from us."
"You would choose me probably because I'm more suitable." Kong Gu is not modest. He also understands the situation of his teammates. "Generally speaking, we have encountered two B-level fantasy beasts. They are both good at sneak attacks, and this Two B-level fantasy beasts and many subordinates."
"Subordinate?"
"That's what it feels like, because those phantom beasts will cooperate with the attacks of B-level phantom beasts to carry out orderly attacks, just like an army."
Lu Ning raised her eyebrows and then motioned for him to continue.
"However, those almost D-level phantom beasts cannot pose much threat to us. The most important thing is the sudden attack of the two phantom beasts. Can you give me a drawing board?"
Lu Ning opened the drawer and took out a tablet for him. Kong Gu took it and quickly drew two sketches.
"The two phantom beasts that attacked us, one is a fish with black and white colors on the left and right sides of its body. It looks like a goldfish. The colors are clearly separated from the middle position. It can swim in the air and is flexible. The level is so high that large water droplets can be ejected from the mouth or gills. The scars on the blue bird's body were caused by receiving the attack head-on."
"Take the attack head-on?"
"Yes, she protected the needle pulse. I am surprised that she is alive... Oh, please don't get me wrong, because the deputy team died from this kind of attack. His protective suit failed to block the attack, and his whole body was injured by hundreds of A water droplet penetrated, but the blue bird only damaged the spacesuit..."
"We will discuss the puzzling matters later. Where is the second phantom beast?" Lu Ning moved his eyes to the next picture. This was a gray creature with a triangular head and three pairs of mantis-like sickle legs.
"In addition, this one has the same effect as the chameleon, and its invisibility is stronger. Our detectors did not react to it at all, and the captain was instantly decapitated by it."
"If it's just invisible, that's not it, right?"
"It can change directions without damage through ejection. This is the most deadly place. The place we encountered is a forest and mountainous area, full of trees and stones. It only ejected four or five times before we were completely unable to react to its movements. Fortunately, it was not far from the wilderness area at the foot of the mountain. We finally ran there and were not chased anymore, but I was slashed. By the way, it has a lot of hard thorns on its body, so it will be injured if it is scratched."
"Thanks."
Lu Ning looked at the two pictures and started thinking. She could probably guess what these two creatures would look like when they attacked based on Kong Gu's description. It was probably enough to say they were B-level. After all, the danger of creatures with the ability to annihilate a team was not low.
But compared with the high-altitude discharge creature I saw before, it always feels a bit inferior.
"Kong Gu, I know you are angry."
Not long after, Lu Ning withdrew her gaze and looked at Kong Gu again. This young man was indeed able to suppress his emotions, but his tone and demeanor still faithfully reflected his heart. He also hopes to use the power of Lu Ning's team to carry out "revenge", but he knows what he must pay first if he wants to succeed.
Very normal emotion.
"But what I must tell you is that currently we do not have the strength to face two B-level fantasy beasts."
"We can prepare." Kong Gu's hand on the table trembled slightly, "I am a commando, and I know what kind of weapon model reserves we have. An outpost can easily be turned into an arsenal. If we need it, You can level that mountain without even going over there.”
"You are right, but an attack that can destroy a mountain may not be able to kill a B-class fantasy beast." Lu Ning casually turned on the screen in the conference room, "Do you understand the alliance's grading system?"
"...Sorry, please explain."
"C-level warning means that a group of teams with strong combat effectiveness and tacit cooperation are needed to deal with it. This is the definition of the military. And such a team is enough to infiltrate the city, behead and assassinate, and even disrupt the normal order of a small country. Military The gap with civilian use is about right here.”
Kong Gu's expression changed: "What about Class B?"
"B-level creatures can easily affect the surrounding ecological environment. They can easily overwhelm planet-level defense lines deployed by the military. If this doesn't give you a real sense, the military once recorded the annihilation record of a B-level creature. Without the Navy taking action, the ground forces used missiles, laser cannons, incendiaries, magnetic storms and other weapons to attack it non-stop for five days. In this case, it still overran nearly five kilometers of the position. .”
Kong Gu was silent.
"Although our weapons and personal qualities have improved, the military's danger level is not static and will increase simultaneously. I'm just giving you an example from many years ago. If it were now, just like what you encountered - Most of our detection methods are meaningless to them, and our attacks are basically in vain. Even if two nuclear bombs are dropped, they may not be able to kill them, but will alarm these ferocious monsters."
"...Isn't there a way to kill them?"
"Yes, but we can't do it. We are a regular force. If we are elite team members, we can encircle and suppress Class B." Lu Ning projected a map on the screen, "But although it is still Since we can’t avenge you, we still have other things we can do. First of all, can you point out the direction for me?”
Kong Gu nodded and quickly marked it on the map. The distance is less than a hundred kilometers, which is already considered dangerous.
"Okay, Kong Gu, now I want to tell you that we also saw a B-class creature near here before. It was not the two you encountered. It passed by in the sky, and we also obtained two of its eggs. "
"There is also a B-level?" Kong Gu said in surprise.
"Yes, do you realize something now? The number of B-class creatures on this planet is much higher than we thought. At least there were not so many in the advance team's investigation many years ago."
"What should we do?" Kong Gu's expression finally took this matter seriously and seemed much more rational.
"We have some countermeasures, but we lack manpower. I know that Leiwang and Zhenmai have been a little stimulated, but it doesn't matter. I don't need them to go to the battlefield. They can stay here and increase our strength from another angle. As for you He Qingniao, are you willing to stay and help us develop our strength enough to defeat B-level creatures?"
"I have no problem...but I have a question." Kong Gu hesitated, "I have heard about the Phantom Star Virus. The advance team may have been infected by that virus, and almost all of our previous clothing protective layers have failed. Yes, maybe already..."
"Then, at least until you actually get sick, we are companions." Lu Ning stretched out his hand, "So far, we still have not made any progress on this virus, and we are not even sure of its existence. If we refuse help just for such a vague thing, we need it. Helping people is not in keeping with the military spirit of the Alliance."
"You... are all very good at saying such beautiful words." Kong Gu smiled bitterly and held Lu Ning's hand. "The same is true for the captain and deputy captain. I'm sorry that I can't call you captain yet... How about sir?"
"You can call her whatever you want. Let's go see how the blue bird is doing, shall we? I have arranged a suitable communication partner for her."
