Zhao Ruling's words directly woke everyone up. When they sent a message to the base just now, there was indeed no sound from other transmitters.
Qin Xiao had discovered this situation a long time ago, so he reminded Hu Cheng and Guo Zhen just now.
Zhao Ruling walked up and analyzed: "There is absolutely nothing wrong with our transmitter. There should be only two reasons why it cannot be used."
"The base station was destroyed?" Hu Cheng guessed subconsciously.
"There is another possibility that the base station is blocked." Qin Xiao continued.
"How is it possible? What technology can achieve such a large shielding range?" Hu Cheng was a little unconvinced.
Zhao Ruling continued to step forward, came to a few people, and said with a worried look: "If the Star Clan attacks, they will have such technology."
"StarClan!"
Upon hearing these two words spoken by Zhao Ruling, everyone present changed their expressions.
Star Clan is an advanced intelligent race. This race not only possesses technology that far exceeds that of human civilization, but also possesses a tyrannical physique that far exceeds that of human beings.
After entering the mechanical civilization, human beings have indeed made their mark in the vast universe with the perfect integration of martial arts and technology.
When human civilization was at its most glorious, civilization systems of more than a dozen super-large galaxies were even developed.
But the pace of human rapid expansion came to an abrupt end after encountering the Star Clan, and was gradually defeated in the long years that followed.
Facing a race whose strength completely overwhelms humans, it is difficult for anyone to remain calm.
"Don't worry, Star Clan is not as powerful as the legend says, especially the Star Clan troops that fight on a small scale, they are just an elite mercenary team at best."
Seeing that the people around him looked frightened and were timidly fighting before the fight started, Qin Xiao immediately started to comfort him.
These words are not Qin Xiao's forced disparagement of the Star Clan. Before his rebirth, he fought with the Star Clan on the northern battlefield for many years, so he naturally understands their characteristics.
The strength of the Star Clan lies in their interstellar battleships and ground heavy weapons. In large-scale battles, they do have a huge technological advantage over human troops.
But when it comes to individual combat, there is no obvious strength gap between ordinary Star Clan warriors and human Star Warriors.
The existence of mechas makes up for the physical gap between human star warriors and star clan fighters.
This is indeed a race worthy of attention, but it is not invincible.
"What to do next?" Hu Cheng was completely out of ideas, and his voice was trembling when he spoke.
The situation of the others was similar to that of Hu Cheng. Even Zhao Ruling, who had always performed well before, had the same pale face.
Ultimately, it's because StarClan is too unfamiliar and mysterious to them.
These people have never really fought against Star Clan, and the rumors about Star Clan over the years are basically news about the human legion being wiped out by the Star Clan legion.
Facing the mysterious and powerful enemy, they can no longer judge by trying.
The unknown is the source of fear.
"Star clan... star beasts... flying star resources... alien beasts... alien metals..."
Qin Xiao lowered his head and kept mumbling to himself, as if he was reciting a curse, which made the people listening even more panicked.
Suddenly, Qin Xiao looked at Hu Cheng and asked, "Did you catch any special beasts during the development process here?"
Without waiting for Hu Cheng to answer, Qin Xiao continued to ask: "Or have you detected special energy fluctuations, or even mined a special energy source?"
"Energy fluctuation? Energy source?" After listening to Qin Xiao's words, Guo Zhen suddenly slapped his forehead.
"A month ago, the mining team brought back a very strange stone egg. At first we thought the stone egg was an alien egg, but after testing, we found no signs of life inside."
"But the energy fluctuations inside the stone egg are very strange. Sometimes there is no movement, and sometimes there is violent turmoil. It is said that the most violent energy fluctuations are equivalent to a level 8 volcanic eruption."
"Here's the weird thing. The eggshell-like stone wall didn't react at all when it withstood the energy fluctuations of a level 8 volcanic eruption. Not to mention being stretched open, there wasn't even a single crack."
Guo Zhen spoke vividly, his face was full of shock when he talked about the stone egg.
"What Shidan? Why don't I know this news?" Hu Cheng was confused and asked Guo Zhen to his side.
Guo Zhen said with a wry smile: "I happened to be on duty in the mining unit last month, so I learned about the news. However, the information was strictly blocked internally, so few people knew about it. We also required it to be kept secret before."
"Keep it secret! Keep it secret! Keep it secret! You know the secret every day! I risk my life to fight for them, but you still hide everything from me." Hu Cheng said angrily.
"Captain Qin, is this matter related to the Star Clan?" Guo Zhen was still calm and asked quickly.
"If I guessed correctly, the Star Clan came here because of that stone egg." Qin Xiao replied.
"But we have never received news of the Star Clan's invasion? The Star Clan has been appearing on the northern battlefield in recent years. How could they appear here?" Guo Zhen asked puzzled.
"Star Clan is just our collective name for that powerful race. There are also humanoids among Star Clan. If they are just pretending, it will be difficult for someone who is not strong to discover their flaws."
Qin Xiao just subconsciously told the news he learned, but after saying this, everyone felt a chill in their backs.
They never thought that the most feared enemy might be hiding next to them.
"Star Clan attaches great importance to powerful energy sources, just like we humans like to dig star diamonds."
"In my opinion, this unexpected incident should have been caused by Star Clan's spies knowing the existence of the stone eggs, and then gathering people to take action."
"If this is the case, the number of enemies will not be too large and the equipment will not be too advanced. This battle should not be difficult."
Qin Xiao continued his analysis calmly, then looked at Guo Zhen and asked, "Where are the stone eggs stored?"
"In the base..." Guo Zhen blurted out, and then realized that Qin Xiao must want to know the exact location. He immediately changed his words: "On the second underground floor of the base, in Laboratory No. 13."
"Where is the base station? Where is the base station?" Qin Xiao continued to ask.
"The base station is in the tower of the base." Guo Zhen continued to reply.
"Let's go, get closer to the base first, go over and see what's going on." Qin Xiao waved his hand and led the team of only 17 people on the road to fierce battle.
The team stopped when they were about 500 meters away from the base. Looking from a distance, the base was extremely deserted, and the lively scene in the past was gone.
Hu Cheng keenly discovered that there were dozens of corpses at the entrance of the base. Seeing these corpses, they could basically confirm that the base had definitely been controlled.
Qin Xiao pointed to a tower outside the base and asked, "Is the base station right there?"
"Yes." Guo Zhenjian replied.
"Okay, I'm going to rob the tower. You must not move around. No matter what happens, leave me alone, understand?" Qin Xiao said very seriously.
"Captain Qin, what are you going to do?" Hu Cheng asked nervously.
"Take care of the team, and kill anyone who dares to act erratically."
Qin Xiao did not explain anything. After instructing Hu Cheng to restrain his team members, he slowly retreated. After leaving the team far away, he chose another direction and walked towards the base in a swagger.
Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
The dozens of corpses in front of the base are not fake. It is obvious that there are enemy sentries outside the base.
Isn't Qin Xiao seeking death by approaching so boldly?
Sure enough, when Qin Xiao was only a dozen meters away from the base door, a secret door on the tower suddenly opened, followed by a burst of mad shooting.
Looking from a distance, Qin Xiao's mechanical light armor was directly smashed, and he soon fell into a pool of blood.
"Qin..."
Guo Zheng just wanted to shout, but Hu Cheng slapped him aside.
"Shut up! With Team Qin's strength, how could he be killed by that level of attack?" Hu Cheng said angrily.
He said this, but his face was honest and full of worry.
"Wait slowly, I hope Team Qin can continue to bring us miracles."
Hu Cheng took out a bottle of wine, took a look at it, and finally put it back.
Everyone was staring at Qin Xiao in the distance. In order not to be exposed, they did not even dare to use the observation equipment.
Zhao Ruling's face was also full of worry at this moment, but there was a bit of expectation in his eyes.
As Hu Cheng said, Qin Xiao brought them too many miracles during this operation.
For Zhao Ruling, Qin Xiao's appearance also refreshed many of her perceptions.
She had never thought that a young star could do so well. When she recalled the so-called elite classmates around her, she instantly felt that they were not worth mentioning.
Including herself, it is not worth mentioning.
Originally, Zhao Ruling planned to use his vacation time to simply practice and prepare for the next major exam at Polu Academy.
Meeting Qin Xiao completely shattered her self-confidence.
In her opinion, Qin Xiao is definitely the best student in Polu Academy.
If she had to compare herself with such a classmate after enrolling in school in the future, she really couldn't think of anything to compare herself to.
Along the way, many people actually had the same idea as Zhao Ruling, and frustration appeared more than once.
But at this moment, everyone is full of expectations, wanting to see what kind of magical performance this magical young man can perform.
Night gradually fell, and the cold wind blew wildly, sweeping the wind and sand toward the base layer after layer.
In the darkness, a figure suddenly stood up with the help of flying sand, and then quickly rushed to the bottom of the tower like a civet cat.
The figure didn't pause at all. He lowered his head to the wall of the tower and began to climb thoughtfully.
He climbed very fast and reached the secret door in the blink of an eye.
People held their breath, knowing that the most difficult moment would come next, and how to open the secret door was crucial.
If you "knock on the door" directly, even if the secret door opens, the enemies inside will definitely remain vigilant.
If you want to rush in through the narrow secret door, you must first withstand fierce shooting from star energy weapons at close range.
That is no different than seeking death!
Just when people thought they were going to be stuck at this step, an accident happened.
In front of the base door, a dozen figures suddenly stood up!
