A convoy is traveling at high speed towards the mountainous area in the distance.
Although NE-002 gave Lu Ning two options to eradicate the threat, she would still give priority to the expulsion method. After all, she still had a mission to do. Everyone's cars were equipped with drones, and they would become the main force in the eviction work. All Lu Ning needed was to find a suitable location to release them.
"All phantom beasts encountered will be shot and killed. We are not out to obtain specimens in this operation."
She brought out five combatants specifically for this purpose. The veteran players naturally adapt to this kind of order, and Jade Bird and Kong Gu also perform very well. Kong Gu's burst shots are very accurate and can often assist his teammates to make up for the damage; Jade Bird has very sharp reflexes and does not even need the assistance of a detector most of the time.
"Captain, have you noticed that these guys are more difficult to detect?" Spades shot down a bird-shaped phantom beast with one shot, and complained while changing the magazine, "Even some of our latest detectors have failed. .”
"That means they are still undergoing selective evolution. But it doesn't matter. Our detections are all composite. It will take some time for them to completely avoid them."
After Lu Ning finished speaking, he glanced at the map in front of the car. It was only a dozen kilometers away from the mountain, and the team had entered the wasteland area where Kong Gu and others had escaped.
It is said to be a wasteland, but it is actually a relatively flat area at the foot of the mountain. It lacks trees and is mostly low shrubs. Lu Ning first released two communication drones, quickly connected to Qiu Shu in the central control room, and then under his guidance, ordered everyone to slowly arrive at the required location.
"Then Captain, according to the previously scheduled process, we will first use biological lures to lure out all the low-level fantasy beasts in the mountains. The annihilation drones have all been equipped with fragmentation armor-piercing bombs. Creatures below D level are probably completely unable to resist this kind of Firepower, but you should not enter the warning range of the drone. After all, in order to achieve complete elimination, I issued an extermination command." There was a rhythmic sound of typing on the keyboard from Qiu Shu's side, "All the creatures that can be booby-trapped are After this is done, the bombing drone will drop a highly toxic cloud. Insect Bait has determined that this toxin is a type of biological countermeasure from the fantasy star, which is enough to kill the remaining D-class and E-class that refuse to leave. The biological pheromones in it can kill B Level creatures are reflected on your screen. At this time, you need to guide. Due to the distance factor, the delay here may cause a lot of mistakes. You or other members must control it on site. The sniper drone must be in conjunction with The distance between you is no more than a hundred meters, and the range of action of the gravity nuclear restraint bomb is relatively small. You must accurately hit the two B-level phantom beasts."
"Understood, all drones have been deployed and started to operate."
In any offensive and defensive battle in the interstellar era, the army is always the last to enter. Machines, ammunition, lasers...these will be completely cleaned before it is people's turn to enter.
At this time, dozens of drones equipped with spray guns took off together, and began to spray white water mist near the foot of the mountain. The drones were extremely fast, and they were performing different tasks perfectly under Qiu Shu's instructions. Overlapping tracks cover most of the base of the mountain. Just a minute or two later, there was a faint roar of beasts in the mountains.
The first ones to come out were the flying birds. They were extremely fast. The big ones were as big as eagles and the small ones were only as big as sparrows. They had the advantage in the air and there was no obstacle. They rushed towards the mist that had not yet dispersed at the foot of the mountain. However, right here. At this moment, the terrifying sound of rolling metal barrels was heard.
A primitive, savage, and violent Gatling-style attack, with bullets with red light even forming a straight line in the air. The annihilation drone used completely overkill firepower to beat all the birds that came out first into pieces of flesh and blood. , even the bones failed to hit the ground, and were melted into particles by the cracked material in the air. Before the white mist dissipated, the red mist enveloped the foot of the mountain. However, this bloody mass aroused the ferocity of the phantom beasts. The beasts' bloodthirsty desire was completely aroused, and the sweet smell mixed with the smell of blood continued to guide them to death. .
The first four-legged beast swooped out. It should naturally be the fastest one and one of the strongest, but this was meaningless. In an instant, nearly ten red lines had reached its forehead. Like a balloon that had been crushed, its entire face was dented. The impact continued to extend along the spine and out of the tail vertebra. In the process, the momentum accumulated in the body in one second Released internally, due to the size difference, it did not turn into a ball of powder like a flying bird, but turned into a flesh and blood bomb that exploded on the spot, sprinkling bone fragments with the power of killing fragments to the phantom beasts behind it.
Then there were ten, a hundred...how many phantom beasts were there in the forest? I don't know, and I don't need to know. Lu Ning watched them indifferently as they continued to die one after another. So what if they obtained the countermeasures of the advance team's investigation methods? So what if there is a corresponding combat evolution? The steel torrent of war will crush all these tricks of playing tricks. They are just beasts, and what "Lu Ning" once faced was humans.
The green forest, brown soil, white rocks... have now all turned red. Finally, the rolling sound of the gun barrel stopped, which meant that there was no longer a living creature within the range. At this time, some drones with cylindrical containers hanging below slowly rose and flew towards the deep mountain area.
"Captain, I hope you won't recall too much of the past after seeing this." Qiu Shu said in the communication.
"You talk like you know me very well." Lu Ning snorted.
"No, after all, the Army has this problem to some extent. I don't think you are an exception, especially since your performance here is quite normal."
"What does normal mean?"
"I made a mistake. Generally speaking, the more traditional weapons are, the less harm they do to the environment, but the greater the impact on people. I have many friends in the army, and most of them are no longer in the army."
A faint yellow mist began to cover the entire mountain. Lu Ning knew what Qiu Shu was talking about, but did not answer him. After all, I am not the same person as before, so it is better not to discuss too much about psychological issues.
"We'll talk about this later. Prepare to give us the signal now."
"Okay, if nothing else happens, the location of the creatures in the fog will appear on your car map."
Lu Ning immediately switched to the team channel: "Everyone, prepare to shoot with drones. Remember, we have to drive them away from the outpost!"
"learn!"
Gravity nuclear restraint bombs are not very lethal and are generally used to capture large creatures, but for B-level creatures, they just make them feel uncomfortable. The encirclement net at the foot of the mountain also left an area in the opposite direction to the outpost, in order to guide the two creatures to leave from this road.
Soon, two bright marks appeared on the map. Lu Ning switched to the three-dimensional display mode and began to control the drone for map positioning and aiming.
But someone was faster. The first bullet had already been fired and hit a mark. The mark immediately began to move quickly. Judging from its stable speed, it should be the fish.
"Shooter report."
"It's me." Blue Bird immediately responded, "Hit the target and is running away in the direction of the bayonet."
"Waiting to enter the shooting range." Bayonet replied in a low voice, "Do you want to expel the second one?"
"Drive this one away first." Lu Ning stared at the movement of the light spot, and immediately deflected it again after approaching the range of the drone on the bayonet side.
"The speed has obviously slowed down a bit. It seems that the bullets are useful." Spades said with a hint of joy, "Maybe we can still-"
"Don't think about that. The purpose of using a gravity nuclear restraint bomb is to make it feel uncomfortable without causing serious damage, but without irritating it so that it will come directly towards us. The outpost has not yet resisted two B-class creatures. Strength." Lu Ning interrupted Spade, fired a shot himself, and adjusted the movement trajectory of the creature again.
This process is actually lackluster. After all, it is just a matter of everyone cooperating to correct the trajectory. As long as the phantom beasts rush out after continuous mistakes, there will be no problem. And none of these people's shooting accuracy would make such a mistake.
Even so, the eviction process took about an hour.
After Qiu Shu used the reconnaissance drone to send back the news that the two phantom beasts had indeed escaped, Lu Ning gathered his team and took everyone up the mountain.
The fog will last for about a week, but this toxin is harmless to the human body, and Lu Ning's team has a full set of protection, so there is no need to worry. Walking along the road in the forest, after walking for about ten minutes, the bluebird suddenly flew forward.
"Blue Bird!" Kong Gu shouted, but he didn't shout back. Lu Ning waved her hand: "If I guess correctly, this is where you were attacked, right?"
Kong Gu nodded: "I didn't expect that we could come back so soon to help them...hey."
Lu Ning looked around and saw that some trees were showing signs of yellowing or even withering.
"I hope you are mentally prepared."
Not far away, everyone saw the blue bird kneeling in front of a corpse. The corpse had no head, and it should be their captain. Only if you look around can you see that not only the head, but also the torso inside the space suit has almost disappeared, leaving only a few scattered bones and dried blood clots.
Jade Bird turned off the sound, but everyone knew she was crying. There were other corpses seen around, and all of them had been eaten, which was actually not surprising.
"They..." Kong Gu's voice seemed to be speaking through gritted teeth.
"Their sacrifice at least saved you, and we also got some revenge. At least most of the fragments at the foot of the mountain are probably involved in this... eating." Lu Ning said in a space with a lot of blood holes. He squatted down in front of his clothes, stretched out his hand and pressed on the pierced emblem, pulled the mechanism on the side, and took off the emblem.
Spades and others were also looking for other corpses nearby, doing the same thing. Of course, they were also looking for some possible relics or last words.
The captain's emblem was removed by Qingniao and Konggu personally. At least that way of death ensured that the emblem was intact. Then Qingniao reached out to open the spacesuit and took out a bookmark from the inner layer, which contained a small light blue flower that was unfamiliar to Lu Ning.
"Captain, thank you." Qingniao turned on the voice again, her voice was a little choked, but this time she was speaking to Lu Ning.
"Revenge for your comrades is what you should do." Lu Ning stood up, "It seems that the collection work should be done by you and Kong Gu. After all, we don't know them well."
"Captain! I've discovered something here!" The atmosphere was instantly interrupted by Spades, whose excited tone undoubtedly meant that he had found something special.
Lu Ning raised her eyebrows. At first, she was mostly joking when she said that Spades was a lucky guy. Who knew that he could bring some surprises to her every time he went out? The first time it was a B-level biological egg, the second time the observation station was discovered, what was it this time?
She gave up her position to Kong Gu and ran to Spades. Recorder and Bayonet were already surrounding her.
"What did you find again?"
Spades held up an open small cloth bag in his hand. The bag was only about the size of a palm. It was probably used to hold some souvenirs and the like. Lu Ning walked over and took a look inside the bag, and was stunned for a moment.
The bag contains a diamond-shaped scale, half black and half white; there is also a small gray ring about the same size as a ring, with a small triangular fitting point clearly visible.
"Captain, I don't mind killing those phantom beasts." Recorder stood beside him with his hands on his hips and said, "But it's obvious that this team was attacked for a reason."
"Who is this person?" Lu Ning took a look and saw that the penetrating wounds and cutting marks should be caused by the non-destructive speed-shifting phantom beast.
"Judging from the equipment on his body, he is another technician outside the Leinet." Bayonet said, "Should we...should warn Uncle Yanghao?"

In the outpost laboratory at this time, Yang Hao was busy identifying the organs that Lu Ning had brought back before, while Chong Bai was playing with various medicines and biological extracts in the next room.
Just when Chongbai was holding some mixed reagents and was about to put them in the freezer, he suddenly saw through the glass that the man who had been placed in the scanner began to tremble all over, and the restraint rings on his arms and legs that were installed for safety also began to It was shaking and shaking, and it seemed like it couldn't last long. He hurriedly put the things on the table and rushed into Yang Hao's laboratory.
"Yanghao! That person doesn't seem to be normal!"
Yang Hao glanced at him, called up the real-time scanning program, and snorted: "His brain fusion is almost complete, so it's not surprising that there are some special reactions."
Then he stood up and walked to the scanning room.
At this time, the man's shaking had become more intense, and the restraint ring gradually showed signs of breaking apart. Yang Hao turned on all the real-time scanning data and cabin photography, and the data and the man's face instantly appeared on the screen.
He opened his eyes, but his entire eyeballs had turned gray. This sight made Chongbai tremble: "Yanghao! What's wrong with him?"
"It's probably a compromise evolution because there is no need for specialized visual organs." Yang Hao licked his lips, "That's great. Regardless of whether you are Yang Chengsi or not, you have provided me with quite high-quality data, and also provided a basis for biological research. Further progress in learning opens new doors.”
"Yanghao!" Bugbait shouted.
"Why are you panicking?" Yang Hao took off a shotgun from the wall behind him and sneered, "He won't be any threat."
Immediately, he raised his gun and blasted the instrument in front of him to pieces together with the man inside.
