"Outpost 12, oh, yes, we have two teams here."
Luo Xiao squatted happily on the seat, stuffing a small square wrapped in silver foil into the back of a clock-like device with one hand, holding the communication plug with the other hand, while everyone busy in the central control room had already No wonder.
One of the two officers was a bit silent, and the other occasionally got mad, but since their lives were saved, they didn't need to worry about this little thing.
"What? The C-level sample you want us to kill? Okay, what can we exchange for it?" Luo Xiao raised her voice, picked up a round cover and buckled it on the back of the device. With a soft click, it fit tightly.
"Three Ds? Are you kidding? Three Ds for C? How do you think we killed that long worm? Say it with your mouth?" Luo Xiao's tone gradually became more dangerous, and everyone silently moved away. Except for Xuan Zhitong, who was quietly designing the model next to him.
"Hearing Beiluo's order... Hahaha! If he really had an order, then there was no need for you to accept my exchange proposal in the first place! Who doesn't know how to use a fox to pretend to be a tiger? Disobey orders? You are just number 2. You really think that the smaller number is Are you superior? And we have two teams here, can you still reach out to the Space Defense? Do you want me to make a report? I am best at killing first and reporting later!"
After saying that, Luo Xiao pinched the thread and sneered.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Zhitong didn't raise his head and just asked.
"That idiot You Shiwei wants to obtain our C-level biological specimens through negotiation. Either he rose to this position in the right way or he likes to dream."
"After all, 002 is also quite capable."
"Being capable doesn't mean that everyone has to support him! There are so many capable people, how can I give them face?" Luo Xiao jumped down from the chair, walked over to Xuan Zhitong, and switched to the private line , "Xuanzhong, do we want to play a big one?"
"……speak."
"I can see what you are designing, and there is no need for the two of us to hide it. Let's just formally join forces. If nothing can be found through the investigation, blowing up the planet is also an option."
Xuan Zitong glanced at her.
"I came here with a purpose."
"Enemy? That's even better. Wouldn't it be even better if that person took the planet with him to outer space? Don't deny it, I've seen that look in your eyes a lot - but people who dare to look at me like that turn into lumps in the end. ”
"Luo Xiao... you are an evil person."
"I didn't deny it."
"You like to hurt others and do whatever you want. We are completely different."
Luo Xiao smiled, stretched out her hand and tapped Xuan Zhitong's hand twice, adding two strokes to the model.
"But Xuanzhong, you want revenge, and your revenge must be more vicious, otherwise you can't do it... Look at your design, [Rainbow] is indeed an amazing series, but this series is used to destroy cities and countries. , it’s not about cutting the grass and roots, you are too gentle, gentle people will be killed by themselves.”
"You——" Xuan Zhitong looked at Luo Xiao's change with a stern look.
"Looking at this reaction, you really understand it quite well. Listen to me and use [Paradise Lost] to completely liberate the lethality contained in your knowledge. This is just a scene given to us by the distribution center, isn't it?"
Xuan Zhitong looked at Luo Xiao and slowly turned his eyes.
"Too gentle?"
"There is no conflict at all in being gentle to gain friends, and being cruel in destroying enemies." Luo Xiao whispered, "If you are worried about your friends, then find them first and inform them, but when it comes to killing people, you must put all your strength into it, don't have any Any concerns.”
"Don't worry?"
Xuan Zhitong's hand paused for a long time, but still did not erase the line drawn by Luo Xiao.

Lu Ning looked at the blue bird in front of her. The conversation between the bayonet and her was effective. At least for now, it seemed that she was much calmer than before.
"NE-018, Scout Bluebird, reporting to you."
The scout gave Lu Ning a military salute, and Lu Ning returned the salute, asking everyone to sit down and ask about the bayonet first.
"How was your chat going with you two?"
"Blue Bird has understood our current situation. She knows that with our current strength, we are still unable to deal with the B-level fantasy beasts." Bayonet said, "So, Blue Bird offered to help us, as long as she can be used."
"It seems I don't need to waste any more words." Lu Ning was very satisfied, and then turned to Jade Bird, "I believe you already have an understanding of the situation of our outpost, but we still need to make some evaluations of the expertise of the two of you. After all, you two belong to the combat profession."
Kong Gu said from the side: "Although we are a combat profession, we also know basic equipment and communications. Sir, you can leave the peace of mind to us."
"Then let me tell you bluntly, I need an observer and a transporter. This is our current job requirement. The other two with full-time skills naturally have other things to do, but you..."
"These two positions... don't seem to be that important." Qade Bird hesitated, "Can I ask about the specific contents?"
"Smart question, the name does not reflect the content of the job. What this observer is responsible for is to use the observation tools we provide to observe, record and mark some special targets, tentatively within the continent we are on. This The incident is about to begin after the Dragon Vein satellite is launched, which is one day later. It needs to be reminded that because the targets may not be regular, the observers have little rest time until others are free to change shifts. As for the transporter, it is simple One point. We found a base station. Before leaving, I adjusted the product output of the two production lines. One person was needed to transport supplies back and forth to supplement the needs of the outpost. After all, the two B-levels were nearby, and we had to replenish a large amount in a short time. If quality is not enough in terms of combat effectiveness, quantity will make up for it.”
Kong Gu nodded and looked at Qingniao: "It sounds like the transporter is more relaxed, why not you Qingniao..."
"I want to be an observer." Qingniao interrupted Kong Gu, "I can hear that the observer has come into contact with some secrets, which means you have a killer move in your hands, that's good. I want to know, I want to understand, I hope to be able to personally participate in the action of killing those two B-level phantom beasts, rather than simply doing infrastructure work."
"I said that both positions are important, and there is no advantage or disadvantage." Lu Ning said.
"Yes, but it means something different to me. Please give me the role of observer, sir."
Lu Ning looked at her slightly red eye circles, then looked at Kong Gu who nodded helplessly, and agreed to the request.
Of course, the task arrangement also required them to be familiar with the process. The persuasion of Zhenmai and Leiwang was a little easier. The two of them were already a little war-weary. When they heard that they did not need to face the battlefield directly, they immediately agreed. The rest was some psychological counseling work. Both Spider Silk and Iron Eyebrow will do the job.
After arranging everything, Lu Ning returned to the central control room with a bayonet.
"Qiu Shu, how are the drone preparations going? I have tacitly approved of your decision to privately cut off two production lines."
"To supplement the combat effectiveness, the fact that drones are not useful in space battles does not mean that they cannot be used in ground battles. And captain, didn't you give that order to clearly indicate that I want to use them?"
"I don't know much about you, and I don't know how high your drone skills are. If you were an army, I would think it was normal, but you are a navy." Lu Ning returned to his seat and opened his personal screen.
Qiu Shu laughed: "Don't say such hurtful words. We've been comrades since we fought together, captain. I'm ready. It won't take the little guys twenty minutes to fly to that mountain."
"Ah? What have you arranged?" Bayonet was a little confused.
Lu Ning and Qiu Shu laughed together, and Bayonet felt that there was something she didn't understand.
"I don't blame you. I'll ask Tiemei or Spades to supplement you with ammunition science later. If you only know about firearms, your knowledge is still too narrow." Lu Ning waved her hand, "I asked Yang Hao to prepare the medicine and the recorder. The ammunition prepared are all mounted weapons, and simply put, they are specially designed for use by drones."
"Oh... So actually the captain and deputy captain have been ready to take action?" Bayonet suddenly realized.
"How can we allow others to sleep soundly beside the bed?" Qiu Shu dropped a book bag, "They are all so close to us. Even if we can't defeat them with force, we have to find a way to drive them away."
"The best way is to change the environment. Except for intelligent creatures, most creatures have very stubborn requirements for the living environment, especially B-class creatures. They even influence the modification of the environment to make it more comfortable. Then in turn, Let's just turn it into the completely opposite extreme environment." After Lu Ning finished speaking, she typed twice on the keyboard and entered the communication interface.
The outpost and team numbers have been released before, and now there are several more communication requests in the channel. The entire channel list is much richer than when there were only five teams before. It seems that many teams have found outposts and established communication networks.
But Outpost 1 is still not on the list.
Lu Ning looked at the communication requests on the list. DU-004 seemed to be the person who contacted him on the spaceship before. In addition, there were NE-002, BW-009 and AL-003. It is a relatively early number.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ning connected to NE-002's communication. After waiting for about a minute, a voice came from the other side.
"NE-002. I'm glad you can get through, DU-003. You are among the first batch of people to capture the outpost."
This was a sharp female voice, with no cover-up and a very businesslike tone.
"NE-002, what's the matter with contacting me? I'm sorry that we need to arm and update the outpost..."
"We are on the same level. I have no right to interfere with your team's tasks, and there is no need to report to me." There was a slight knocking sound from the other side, "I am just contacting some teams with outstanding performance, and then I am ordered to pass on the information. "
"Whose information?"
"General's... oh, NE-001. Maybe we can officially meet in the near future, so we can get to know each other for now. NE-001 is currently carrying out a top-secret exploration mission with several teams, but before leaving, he handed over Gave me something. I'm on the ocean with very little interference, so I can do planetary detection through lunar reflector towers, and I still have three beacons in hand."
"Can I know which teams are getting this mission?"
"Principle of confidentiality."
Lu Ning sighed.
There seemed to be a laugh from NE-002's side, and then he spoke again.
"But there is nothing wrong with this question. I will try my best to ensure that the beacon exploration team is reliable."
"Okay then, what is the beacon?"
"Suspected remains of an alien civilization."
The channel went quiet for about five seconds after this sentence.
There was a hint of curiosity in NE-002's voice: "I thought you were going to ask something. It seems like you already know something about it? Or have you seen it before?"
"I can send you a picture, which was accidentally discovered by one of my team members." Lu Ning decided to keep some of the information, "I'm not surprised that there are ruins of other civilizations here. It seems that NE-001's actions are The ruins have been excavated, but are you really sure about the safety of this behavior?”
"Our actions have never prioritized safety." NE-002 resumed his previous tone. "Exploring the unknown is always accompanied by unpredictable risks, and all indications indicate that the level of technology contained in these ruins is far higher than what we know. The mastery is higher. If possible, I think NE-001 would rather lead the people to search there one by one, but we can't do that now."
"There is a rough block of our outpost on the map. You can assign us a beacon, but I think it will have to be two days at the earliest before I can organize exploration again. We found two B-level fantasy beasts here, very far apart. It’s close, I have to finish the expulsion first.”
"Two B-level fantasy beasts? Maybe I can help you..." NE-002 thought for a moment, "Have you considered using a tidal tearing device or a tundra injector?"
"...I thought our primary goal was to find out why the advance team lost contact without harming the ecological structure of the planet, and to determine whether this place is suitable for immigration."
"The situation is constantly changing, DU-003. When we discover that alien civilization has left traces here, the ecological environment of this planet is already a secondary consideration. Our main goal is to eliminate all threats. In the cradle.”
"Can it be done?"
"You seem to know something." The other party was very keen.
Lu Ning did not hide it: "I do have some surprising guesses, but I haven't got any solid evidence yet, so I can't report this kind of thing."
"If you trust me, you can give me a piece of information, plus your photo, and I will exchange it with you for the templates of the two environmentally modified weapons. You can use them to expel the two B-class phantom beasts, and Not bad as a defensive measure. Your progress is beyond imagination, so I don't want you to delay too long. The beacon will be sent later, any questions?"
"Well... there's nothing else major. By the way, let me ask one more thing. From your current point of view, are all the people in these teams trustworthy?"
This time NE-002 was silent for a moment.
"Of course not, although I hate to say it. But this time the team comes from many different backgrounds, and the factions they belong to are also very complicated. Under the orders of the military, they dare not do anything out of the ordinary, but who is secretly doing it? do not know either."
"But you believe me."
"Ability, not character. I still don't know who you are or what you look like. I just judge based on the efficiency and results you show. I may make mistakes, but I am the one who has the resources."
