John's team began an emergency evacuation. In this dark night, there were no lights and no vehicles, which made everyone's actions extremely difficult.
Not only that, because they lost the support of a compass and some auxiliary equipment, everyone did not even have a detailed map, which undoubtedly made the whole thing even worse.
However, the sudden and strange situation now made them afraid to stay at the lake any longer. They needed to change a place to spend the night.
Fortunately, those present were all elite warriors who had undergone rigorous training. Although some of them were newly recruited team members, these people were also former bounty hunters and had strong professional abilities.
Coupled with the fact that they have been performing missions outside for a long time, their ability to survive in this kind of wilderness is even better than that of many veteran members of the Sea Lion Scouting Team.
However, this evacuation operation is still very difficult. When everyone came here, they did not walk in a straight line. Now they can only find a general direction and then walk towards the coastline there.
"Commander, why do I feel like something is wrong here? It's a little different from when we came here. Did we go the wrong way?"
In the team, a team member expressed his doubts.
He is the member of the team responsible for drawing maps. He is more sensitive and familiar with the environment than others.
"What's wrong? Morik, did you find anything?"
John stopped immediately, and so did the entire group.
"Commander, our current direction should be towards the southeast, but the trees here seem to be very different from when we came..."
As Morik spoke, he came to a big tree and stretched out his hand to touch it, and continued:
"These trees seem to be taller and bigger than when we came. It's like they suddenly grew a lot taller in just a few days... If it weren't for the direction in which these trees grow, there are barks It was so smooth that I almost thought we were going in the wrong direction."
John frowned and said:
"Perhaps they grow too fast? When I was at the base, I heard Dr. Rouse say that these plants seem to have mutated. Not only do they grow extremely fast, they can reach hundreds or even thousands of times that of ordinary plants. Times, and even the varieties are all new to us, and some are so old that they can only be seen in fossils..."
As he was talking, a team member suddenly pointed forward and shouted: "Look! Over there! Is there any light over there?"
Following the man's voice, everyone turned their attention to the end of their sight, where there was a faint glow, but because the distance was too far, it was a bit hard to see clearly, and it was hazy, like looking through fog. flower.
"It seems like there's really something there!" someone responded.
John looked there and thought for a moment, but suddenly he had an ominous premonition.
"Let's go! Let's go over and take a look!"
The group of people moved forward in the dark night, and the distance of the light was further than expected. The team of more than a dozen people walked in the jungle for more than ten minutes before they arrived at their destination.
At this time, in the woods ahead, a man in his mid-twenties was hiding in a tree, looking at the scene below without daring to make any move.
The man's name was Deisen, a pilot belonging to the Seventh Fleet. A few hours ago, he received a mission, requiring himself and the third flying team, including five comrades, to transport a batch of ammunition to the front. A base.
This kind of transportation task is already familiar to him. He only needs to use a helicopter to deliver the items. It is quick and convenient.
Moreover, the current island is no longer as bare as it was when it was first discovered two months ago. Now it is covered with tall trees, and forests, mountains and rivers blend with each other. If helicopters are not used to carry out this operation, As for transportation, it is already difficult for ordinary vehicles to travel here.
The missile Deysen and others transported this time is called Jericho. It is the latest new type of missile developed in China. It is a powerful fragmentation bomb. I heard that only one can easily destroy the enemy. A hill.
He knew that after their transportation was completed, the comrades in the forward camp would use this missile to deal with the mysterious barrier that appeared in the lake. Some people in the base said that it was done by aliens, and Deysen also thought about this. Quite agree.
After all, that thing is too special. A barrier-like protective layer is simply impossible to achieve with Earth's current technology.
Then, combined with some rumors that have been appearing recently, Deysen even began to speculate that Aquamarine may have been invaded by an alien civilization.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly felt hot. As a pilot of the US Seventh Fleet, he had also imagined the moment when he was ordered to face danger, overcome danger, turn the tide, and save the common people.
But reality is reality after all. Most of the time, his passion was only used in training. Even after arriving on this mysterious island, there was nothing worth looking forward to.
But this time, Deisen received the transportation task. While receiving the task, he was also informed of some precautions, which made him understand what kind of thing he and others were currently encountering. .
Suddenly, a strong sense of mission rose in his heart. Just like in a movie, he, Deyisen, was about to transform into a male protagonist and transport powerful weapons to the front line. Then his comrades there would use the weapons he brought, Destroy powerful alien forces in one fell swoop.
However, such thoughts did not last long. He did not even reach his destination and encountered an accident midway.
Deizen's helicopter was flying at a low altitude, but suddenly all the instruments went into chaos and the engine stopped rotating. Without any preparation, he and several of his teammates fell together with the helicopter. Go down.
Fortunately, the trees here are tall and leafy, and the helicopter does not fly very high. Although they encountered an emergency air crash this time, they did not directly burp. Including himself, a total of five team members survived. Come down.
They were not the only ones in this situation. There were two other helicopters operating together. However, their luck did not seem to be as good as that of Deisen and the others. They all fell straight down and exploded when they hit the ground.
They were stuck in a tree. Due to his position, Deyson could not break free for a while. Several other people in the team used the light brought by the explosion of the two helicopters to free themselves. Then he climbed down the big tree.
Later, when Deisen finally broke free from comfort and was about to go down to join a few companions, he suddenly heard a strange cry, which seemed to come from this forest...
"what happened!?"
When Deyson heard this sound, he couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart, because he heard it so clearly. This sound seemed to come from the mouth of some kind of beast, and judging from the richness of the sound, , this kind of beast should be not small in size, and there should be more than one in number.
"That's not right. According to the information we received, didn't this island just rise from the bottom of the sea recently? How could there be such a large beast?"
Deyson thought he had heard it wrong, because in a place like this, if plants could leapfrog a long process of evolution and growth and rise directly to where they are now, then it might be possible to use magnetic fields, geology and other reasons to explain the past.
But in comparison, it is a bit hard to imagine how animals with more complex genes could suddenly appear, or even directly evolve to a level similar to a herd.
The feeling of surprise and confusion only appeared in his mind for a moment, and Deyisen was immediately stunned by the sight he saw in front of him.
I saw dozens of monsters wearing black carapace suddenly rushing out from the depths of the forest. These monsters were huge in size, ferocious in appearance, fast in movement, and as strong as cattle.
When Deysen saw them for the first time, he even thought he was in some science fiction movie, because there is absolutely no way such creatures could exist on Aquamarine!
Before he could even give a warning, the monsters had already jumped out of the darkness. It was as if he could hear the roar of the wind while running, and almost instantly threw his four teammates to the ground.
Screams and sporadic gunshots were heard, and soon there was no movement below. De Yisen witnessed the whole process in horror, and his face turned pale.
"Monster! This is a monster! This is the alien that invaded our planet! I know! Behind that barrier, there must be the lair of the aliens! The things that have suddenly appeared in the world recently must have escaped from here. !”
De Yisen was shouting crazily in his heart, but he did not dare to make any sound.
At this moment, he felt as if he had seen the truth of the matter.
Over the past few days, he had heard various topics about monsters from his friends and bosses. Although he knew that such a group of scary guys suddenly appeared in the world, and even watched a certain video that was not very clear, he thought Today I saw it with my own eyes for the first time.
Deisen understood that he finally encountered them today, and they were definitely not "animals that mutated and evolved due to geological problems", but a group of aliens who wanted to invade the world!
However, if there are members of the Star Alliance here, they will definitely recognize that the monsters that attacked Deyisen's team just now are the wild insects that Mr. Bei and the others saw in Gangguo!
Of course, to a certain extent, what Deysen said is not wrong. These alien monsters are indeed "aliens who want to invade the world."
"Huhuhu~"
The flames burned in the dark night, and the breeze blew, making a series of whirring sounds.
Deisen was sitting on the tree at this time, not daring to move at all, because he could feel that those guys had not left yet, they seemed to be hiding in the darkness behind the light, watching him like this , if he leaves the top of the tree and goes down, the other party will immediately rush up and tear him apart.
At this time, a rustle of footsteps suddenly sounded in the woods. Deisen immediately pricked up his ears. He turned his head and stared in the direction of the sound, feeling extremely nervous.
"Commander, look ahead! It's a Black Hawk helicopter! It's one of ours!"
In the woods, a human voice sounded, and then, more than twenty figures appeared below Deyisen.
Because a helicopter crashed here, several big trees were knocked down, forming a large open space.
"Damn it! I knew it! They were also tricked!"
After seeing the scene in front of him, John couldn't help but cursed. He had vaguely guessed this possibility when he heard that there was a light in front of him.
He knew that support had been sent from the base. According to the original plan, they would arrive in the evening. However, after being delayed for so long and not seeing the other party, something must have happened.
Tom touched a big tree nearby, looked at some liquid on his hand, and then said:
"It's strange that these trees don't seem to be afraid of fire. This thing on their surface seems to be able to isolate the flames."
Several other people also began to separately explore the situation at the scene, wanting to see if there were any survivors who could be rescued.
"There was blood on the ground, but no body was found. Did he leave?"
Kandor reported the situation just now to John.
John frowned and said: "No, these marks on the ground seem to have experienced something here. It doesn't look like a simple plane crash..."
"Commander, maybe you should come here and take a look!"
Someone suddenly spoke from the side.
John walked over and found several terrifying traces where the man pointed.
"Are these...claw marks...?"
John was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed.
"Be careful around you! They're still here!"
A loud roar suddenly sounded above his head. It was De Yisen. After confirming the identities of the people below, he quickly issued a warning.
"What!?"
Everyone was surprised and looked around, only to see a person sitting there.
However, before they could be surprised, a series of roars suddenly came to their ears, and several huge figures suddenly jumped out of the darkness, instantly knocking down the outermost team members.
"ah!"
Screams rang out, followed by a series of gunshots.
As specially trained warriors, everyone was caught off guard by the wild insects at this moment, but the remaining people reacted immediately and immediately pulled the trigger on these monsters.
"Da da da da..."
The sound of the R479 automatic rifle rang out in this quiet night, and combined with the burning helicopter wreckage around it, the surrounding air was filled with an aura of steel.
