Digger No. SK-9300, Li Zixuan and others successfully completed the login.
Skillfully closing the hatch, the five-man team immediately formed a V-shaped formation and took defensive measures.
The surroundings were very quiet, and the noise that was vaguely heard in the communication channel seemed to have disappeared, as if just the sound of gentle breathing could be transmitted far away.
"The surrounding oxygen content has decreased and is losing at a constant rate. There may be a gap in the spacecraft."
Yin Rao said while looking at the testing equipment in the watch.
Several other people looked at each other and suddenly had a guess in their minds. I am afraid that the reason why SK9300 has problems is related to this gap.
"There seems to be an abnormal invasion in 9300. Everyone should be careful and prioritize finding threatening targets to kill them and rescue the remaining survivors."
Everyone moved forward cautiously. The lighting system in the spacecraft was still functioning normally for the time being, but some areas had lost power. However, the Crazy Bee team had advanced detection equipment, so this darkness was nothing to them. .
"The front is the dormitory area. The previous distress signal seems to have come from there. Everyone, please be vigilant!"
Everyone walked forward for nearly a hundred meters without being attacked. It seemed that the danger was not in the area at the stern of the ship.
The 9300 is much larger than the Hornet. As a dredging ship, it not only needs a sufficient energy system to supply long-term work outside, but also needs a huge cabin to store minerals.
The length of the entire spacecraft is more than two kilometers, which is almost as big as a small battleship.
"Meng Meimei, do you still have a spirit possession scroll over there? I need a spirit soul possession scroll."
Li Zixuan stopped. To be on the safe side, he still planned to add a wave of status to his side first.
"There are still five spirit-detection scrolls. We can each have one. Captain, do you want to use them now?"
"Just give me one. We don't know what kind of situation we will encounter later. If we can save resources, we will save some. I will use the spirit scroll to open the way in front. You follow me and cover me. Pay attention to my gestures. .”
After saying that, he took the scroll in Meng Meimei's hand and gently tore it into pieces. Suddenly, a stream of spiritual power surged out from the scroll and attached to his eyes.
Looking at Li Zixuan's silver-white eyes, Gibson looked envious and muttered:
"Hey, this psychic detection technique looks very cool after using it. I want to use one too..."
Li Zixuan looked back at him.
"Then I'll let you use it next time. You go to the front."
"Haha, goodbye, it's best for you, captain, so I won't just join in the fun..."
"..."
Not long after the two of them finished talking, Li Zixuan suddenly stopped. This move made the people behind him suddenly nervous.
"What's wrong, captain? Did you find anything?"
Li Zixuan shook his head and looked towards the end of the corridor, where there was a trace of blood stained on the wall.
"It seems... there is a little blood..."
Bugisen immediately called up his far-sighted equipment, saw the trace of blood on the wall, and then looked at Li Zixuan with very incredible eyes.
"I'll go, captain, what's that look in your eyes? Can you see it from such a distance?"
Li Zixuan rolled his eyes at him, while Yin Rao on the side whispered:
"Thomas, when you raise your enhancement level to the same level as the captain, you should be able to see it."
"Tch, I know, it's just that I don't have enough merit for the time being. But if I can return alive from this mission, I should be able to get some merit. By then I should be able to apply for the level 3 enhanced gene potion. …”
As soon as he finished speaking and was about to say something, his entire expression suddenly froze on his face.
Just because the scene that appeared in front of him was so shocking that he was stunned.
"This is...what happened..."
Meng Meimei subconsciously covered her mouth.
In front of me, hundreds of corpses were lying on the ground in random directions. Judging from their clothes, they should be the crew members of the 9300. Each corpse was torn to pieces, and the blood changed the entire aisle behind the corner. It turned out that everyone was there The trace of blood seen in the previous passage was just the tip of the iceberg.
"Damn...what the hell did this do? These people...all..."
Buji Sen's face turned a little pale, and the others were not much better.
Although they have gone through rigorous training to get to this point, in the final analysis, these people are just recruits who have never been on the battlefield. No matter how many exercises there are in the virtual illusion, they are just exercises and fake. What they see now are all real, and the pressure involved is self-evident.
Fortunately, years of professional training are still effective. Everyone's psychological quality and adaptability are very strong. They were just stunned for a moment when they just saw this scene, and then they immediately adjusted and recovered.
"Don't be distracted, be vigilant!"
Everyone walked forward for another distance, and there was thick blood and corpse fragments under their feet, making it almost impossible to move.
Suddenly, Li Zixuan stopped suddenly and stared at the position in front. Several other people also held their breath. In their eyes, it was just a cold metal wall, but they knew , the captain must have discovered something.
"Be careful! An abnormality was found a hundred meters ahead! It's a wild insect! Damn it! There are wild insects in this spaceship!!"
Li Zixuan said in a low voice.
He called up the plane graphics of 9300 and found through the small map that the location of the desert insect was in the cafeteria of the dormitory area.
"This spaceship was attacked by wild insects. It seems that the crisis in the Prismatic System is not limited to the emperor. The origin of these wild insects is unknown. I don't know how many there are in total, but they should not be a small group. We must immediately Report this news to the Third Fleet, Meng Meimei, how is the repair of your communication equipment?"
"No, the energy fluctuation just now caused a lot of damage to the equipment. Several key components inside have been broken. I don't have a backup here..."
Meng Meimei is the logistics support engineer of the team and is responsible for the logistics support of the entire Hornet spacecraft, including emergency maintenance of important equipment during wartime.
"Captain, the interference from the scarlet light outside is too strong now. Even if I repair the communication equipment, there is a high probability that it will be the same as before. The signal will be interfered and lost halfway..."
Li Zixuan nodded, indicating that he already knew. Now is not the time to discuss this. The wild insect in front of them was lurking in the cafeteria. They must go over there as soon as possible to see the situation there and eliminate the threatening target.
"Follow me and turn on the tactical silent mode. From now on, all calls will be made using closed teleportation equipment. The wild insects have very good hearing. We don't want to make any sound."
Several people followed his instructions and turned on the silent mode function in their watches. Their feet were immediately enveloped by a weak airflow, which reduced the possibility of being discovered by weakening the transmission of vibrations.
At the same time, as a small blue dot lit up on the helmet worn on the head, their mental thoughts were connected to each other in a short time.
This kind of teleportation does not directly allow them to communicate with each other, but is produced by researching and developing the language communication method of the Phantom Tribe, allowing the members of the Crazy Bee Team to gain the ability to control low-threshold language within a certain period of time.
This is reflected on the surface in that everyone's current communication has become very tacit. With just a look or a movement, you can directly understand the other party's meaning and complete the communication in an instant.
If Li Zixuan used to play games, this behavior would be called eye contact group.
"The number of targets has increased. There are now 3 of them. They are lurking in the canteen. No survivors have been found yet!"
Li Zixuan led the team towards the interior. It was unusually quiet along the way. The middle and high-level wild insects could detect this sneaking method, but the wild insects in front of them were not big and difficult to deal with, but three of the lowest level scythes. insect.
At this time, these three sickle bugs were happily enjoying a delicious meal in the human canteen, without any awareness of the approaching danger.
"Swish swish~"
Three inaudible sounds broke through the air, and the attack of Qin En's spirit gun made no movement at all, killing the three bugs very easily.
The predecessor of this gun was the Jean particle gun. Later, after improvements by the Covenant Research Department, a spiritual drive device was added to it, so that the attack attributes it fired contained part of the spiritual damage, destroying Greatly increased strength.
The carapace of these wild insects may be able to resist damage from ordinary thermal weapons, but their resistance to dark spiritual damage is not high, and they are easily killed.
"Captain, I found three survivors!"
Meng Meimei ran over. She just opened a kitchen door and saw three trembling survivors.
Li Zixuan walked over quickly.
"Hello, we are the Wild Bee Team of the Third Fleet. I am the captain Li Zixuan. I received your distress signal and came to check the situation."
When those people saw that what came in was not the scary bugs they imagined, but living humans like them, and when they saw them in full armor, they burst into tears of joy.
"The rescue is finally here, the rescue is finally here! Wuwuwu, thank you, I thought I was going to die here, Wuwuwu..."
When Li Zixuan saw their appearance, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional. This was the first time that he was so needed. This feeling was really not bad.
"Okay, you are safe now, don't worry, tell us the situation here and we will deal with the bugs."
He comforted the three survivors in front of him, and after they had completely calmed down, he learned about the situation of the spacecraft from their mouths.
It turns out that a few hours ago, 9300 was undergoing final finishing operations. All the crew members on the ship have been here for a year. Now that it is time to go home, they are all looking forward to it.
Seeing that there was still a little time, Captain Olson ordered everyone to mine the last batch of ore and bring it back, so as to accumulate some bonuses.
Unexpectedly, there was a problem with the mining this time. As the 9300 laser mining machine broke through the hard rock surface of the asteroid, what was exposed inside was not the spirit stone veins that everyone was expecting, but a group of ferocious-looking wild insects.
The wild insects attacked the Digger. This mining ship did not have much firepower. The only two spiritual turrets became a lamb to be slaughtered after being torn apart by the swarm of insects.
A lot of wild insects died, but the remaining number was beyond what these people could handle. After successfully breaking through 9300's defense, they turned this place into their buffet food city.
"Captain Olson has led the security team to eliminate some of the bugs, but he was also unfortunately killed. There are probably more than 150 bugs left, scattered in various locations on the spacecraft, but I It is estimated that they should be concentrated near the mine warehouse, which is where the others last appeared, and those damn bugs should go find them."
The speaker was an old miner in his fifties. The reason why he was called an old miner was because he was from the Ancient Leng Planet and had been engaged in this industry before. Now he has joined the mining team of the Star Alliance, and he can be regarded as an old miner. This bank.
"I understand. Thank you for your information. Now I am going to search for the remaining survivors. Do you choose to follow us or stay here and wait for us to come back?"
After hearing what Li Zixuan said, the three miners had surprised expressions on their faces.
"Sir, can you let us wait on your rescue boat first? We really don't dare to stay here any longer."
Seeing the hopeful and frightened looks on their faces, Li Zixuan couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"It's impossible to get out outside..."
…
A moment later, after learning about the current situation of the Prismatic System, the three miners were completely desperate.
I originally thought that the clouds had cleared and the moon was bright, and I and others finally escaped from the insect's mouth, but I didn't expect that it was more dangerous outside. These people were not so much here for rescue as they were here for refuge.
There was no other way. Rather than hiding here and risking being found and eaten by insects, the three of them chose to follow the Crazy Bee Team. These people were also professional warriors after all. They had powerful dark magic weapons and equipment in their hands. They shouldn't be too dangerous.
The group continued to go deeper. After passing the canteen area, it was obvious that the number of bugs here had increased.
Since they had brought three miners with them, everyone could no longer continue sneaking and could only fight their way through.
Fortunately, their goal was to eliminate the bugs on this spacecraft, and their current actions did not conflict with the plan.
"They are all low-level sickle bugs. If it weren't for a mining spacecraft, it shouldn't be possible to break in. It's just that the appearance of these bugs seems a bit strange. Do you feel anything different?"
As time passed, Li Zixuan also discovered anomalies inside the spacecraft.
