The Wunu people could not be contacted.
Amid the strange and strange surroundings, the first suicide expedition team is preparing to set off from the gap that has not yet been fully repaired.
Led by a strong human warrior team leader, there will be three Earthling scientific researchers going out with them, two men and one woman.
Staff Officer Chen gave them the best food they could find in the current chaos, and had nothing else to say.
Everyone knows that this may be a mission with no return, and you may even die when you go out, but even if you die, someone has to do it, either you or him.
The soldiers didn't leave anything like suicide notes. In fact, even if they wanted to leave them, they didn't know who to leave them to. Most of their relatives were gone, but their comrades were among the team.
And more importantly, most people are already accustomed to this dual world of life and death.
Except for the people of the Silver Legion, no training warriors from other races were sent. The Earthlings' particularity in energy turbulence showed their advantage at this time. Other races now have problems even walking, and they cannot send them even if they want to.
After Qi Chen explained to the captain and soldiers the arrangements for power succession in the event of accidental death, he asked them to get out of the gap in sequence.
This method of going out in order is not a good method, but it is the only method that can be used under the current circumstances.
The soldiers who went out for the first time were safe.
The second soldier out is also safe.
But the third soldier who went out instantly turned into a pile of meat. His gravity meter showed an unreasonable and huge peak the moment after he went out!
So much so that, even wearing a battle suit, he could only become a puddle of pancakes.
After a brief period of horror, the soldiers selected to carry out the risk-taking mission continued to get out of the gap.
Miraculously, the fourth soldier was safe and sound, and so was the fifth... Until the last scientist also went out, nothing strange happened again.
However, just as they left the gap, one of them died. If we go a few steps further, there are less than twenty-six people in the squadron, and we don’t know how many will survive in the end.
Transmission of signals in changing environments. It has become extremely unstable. Sometimes you can hear some sounds, and sometimes it is just noise. It seems that you have returned to the primitive era, and you can only rely on human power to convey it.
Staff Officer Chen waited anxiously at the increasingly smaller gap. The first expedition team doesn't need to be out there long, just enough to get simple information.
The gap is still being filled. The loyal self-repairing machines are not under their control. If the Wunu people do not appear, these machines will only complete the repairs according to the established procedures.
Before the gap is completely repaired, they must have enough information to decide whether to leave or stay here. Once it is completely filled, they can only stay here forever.
Time passed bit by bit. Staff Officer Chen became increasingly anxious. The agreed time to return had long passed, but more than twenty soldiers had yet to return.
The new second batch of expedition team members are already preparing. They will follow the original route to find the first batch of team members. If they cannot find them, they will have to conduct their own observations.
Qishen was always calm, allowing the soldiers to settle down and stop being restless as soon as they looked at him.
The time for the second group of expedition members to set off soon came, but the first group of members still did not come back.
No one needs to say it. Everyone knows that they are already in danger, and I am afraid they have become corpses at this moment, or even no corpses at all.
The second batch of players was in this situation. We set off again, accompanied by three scientific researchers.
Staff Officer Chen looked back and saw that the Silver Legion had all gathered. The third and fourth batch of expedition members were gathering, and the fifth batch. The sixth batch is also being selected.
There was some commotion among the scientists. It was not obvious at first, but when the second group of expedition members still did not come back after the agreed time, and when the third group of members were getting ready to set off, their commotion immediately became intense.
"Death! This is death!" a researcher shouted loudly.
"We can't go back. It's still the same." Another researcher took the opportunity to whisper.
"That's right, let's stay here and don't go out again." Someone next to him immediately said in panic.
"We're not going, we're going to go to your Silver Legion." The crowd became excited and protested, refusing to join the expedition.
Staff Officer Chen glanced at Qishen hesitantly. In his opinion, if the third expedition team could not come back, it would be best not to go. If they stayed here, they might never be able to go out, but at least they could still be alive.
But at this time, he saw Qishen ruthlessly pointing his hand at them. A line of soldiers held weapons against the heads of the three staff members and forcibly dragged them into the third group of expedition members.
Crying, struggling, and pleading, the three scientific researchers and expedition members almost dragged themselves out of the gap.
Time is still passing by bit by bit, but still no one from the third group of expedition members has returned.
The fourth batch is assembled and ready to go.
The fifth batch sets off!
The sixth batch sets off!
The seventh batch sets off!
…
The 22nd batch has been assembled and ready to go!
The selected soldiers were silent and prepared in formation, while the scientific researchers were already in ashes. Curses and pleas were intertwined, and they were no longer concealed.
Twenty-one batches, more than 400 soldiers, and more than 60 scientific researchers, none of them came back. They disappeared into the world outside the gap without a trace.
The researchers collapsed. This kind of expedition that was scheduled to lead to death plunged everyone into great despair and anger. Qishen's eighth-generation ancestor had been scolded hundreds of times, and even Staff Officer Chen's wife had been eaten by a pig-headed man. My son was not spared.
Cold-blooded, ruthless, brain-dead, stupid, devil... and other words hung over Qi Shen and him in the curses.
At this moment, Staff Chen was a little shaken. Do you want to continue?
If we continue, what's the point if everyone dies?
He didn't know what Qi Chen was thinking, but Qi Chen controlled the army, and he could only use his full strength to advise.
But when he was about to speak, Qi Chen pointed at the scientists coldly and said to him: "If we can't get out, what use do we need them?"
He was immediately shocked, not only because of Qi Shen's words, but indeed, if he couldn't get out, he would die trapped here. These scientists are useless. The life system of the Wunu people is not broken. After the resources are exhausted, everyone is waiting to die. At most, it will be a matter of several or dozens of generations later. They may have no worries and can live a stable life of 10,000 years, but these scientists will indeed be of no use, even if it takes hundreds or thousands of generations. Their science cannot break the Wu Nu people's closed system.
What shocked him even more was the meaning behind Qi Chen's words. From the very beginning, Qi Chen had no choice whether to stay or not, but was determined to get out!
Use the opportunity to live a stable life here in exchange for the outside world.
At this time, he remembered what Qi Chen said to him when he and Yi Yisi left: What fun is there in a worthless life, even if you don't grow old?
This younger officer not only made a cruel choice for himself. He also tyrannically forced everyone in the Silver Legion, and even the entire Earth, to make a cold-blooded choice.
It’s no longer a question of getting Chu Yunsheng’s body back!
The twenty-second expedition set off and, as always, did not return within the agreed time.
The scientists collectively showed anger as expected, but at the same time they were extremely disappointed. If they could return to one, even one, god-damned dog, Hiki Yama, there would be no reason to force them to die. .
At least, it can take a breather. This kind of committing suicide when the time comes is like waiting to be shot in a queue, which is suffocating and despairing.
And like "You want to go out, but we don't want to. Why do you represent us?" They couldn't say anything, and they just avoided the cold fingers of the dog and the sun.
Three more unlucky officers were pulled out of the crowd by the soldiers. The remaining people breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they once again began to curse Qishen and Staff Chen in all the vicious words, and at the same time began to pray that someone would be there this time. return.
But once again they did not live up to their expectations. And yet again, paradoxically disappointed.
After the agreed time of the 22nd expedition team and before the set departure time of the 23rd expedition team, no one came back.
The adventure of death continued under the cold orders of Qi Shen.
The twenty-fourth team prepares, the twenty-fifth team sets off, the twenty-sixth team prepares, the twenty-seventh team sets off...
The number of scientists is getting smaller and smaller, and they are becoming more and more desperate. They even have no strength and energy to curse.
After a long time, the fifty-second expedition team was assembled and ready to set off.
Thousands of Silver Legion soldiers have never returned, and more than a hundred scientific researchers have died...
What a soldier! No one disobeyed orders!
Staff Chen's vision was blurred by tears, his hands were shaking, and his heart was bleeding, but he could not stop everything.
He was also desperate and felt that Qishen was gambling and treating human life as if it were nothing. It was impossible for anyone to come back.
In his eyes blurred by tears, Qishen's cold and heartless figure in front of him made him feel disgusted for the first time.
There was even a moment when he impulsively wanted to knock Qishen unconscious, just like he did to Yiyisi last time, and put him under house arrest, but he held back in the end because he didn't seem to do the right thing that time.
The fifty-second expedition team set off, dragging three scientific researchers who no longer shouted but sobbed quietly.
He turned his head, not wanting to look at it any more, and he would still die just because he looked at it.
But the moment he turned around, he heard the huge cheers from the soldiers who had been silent all this time.
A wave of figures rushed toward the gap. A soldier covered in blood was crawling back out of the gap miserably and desperately, holding a data box in his arms and crawling back in blood...
He turned his head again and vaguely saw Qi Chen, who had been standing calmly not far from him. His tightly clenched fists were loosened at this moment, and there seemed to be sweat on his palms.
Looking at the soldiers cheering from silence, looking at the soldiers covered in blood, looking at Qi Chen who unclenched his fists in front of him, he finally realized that if he couldn't get out today, then this officer who was younger than him would... They will definitely no longer be able to live their whole life here peacefully. Once no one comes back and their prestige and trust are destroyed, Qishen and himself will eventually be torn into pieces by the soldiers who have been silently enduring the sacrifices of the cold orders.
Staff Chen's eyes were moist again, but it was different now. Someone was back!
Carrying the data box and stepping on the corpses of more than a thousand comrades, he miraculously returned.
