The person who issued the warning was Qin Xiao. As the original commander of the First Corps, his mission in the hunting plan was to fight.
When everything was unclear, Qin Xiao had already led his team to explore around the base.
As a result, this exploration allowed him to find out a different situation.
When he led the team close to a cave, suddenly a group of red ant beasts rushed out.
Qin Xiao felt very uncomfortable when he saw the red ant beast. The battle on Flying Star No. 101 left a deep shadow on him.
Until now, he still couldn't figure out why some low-level monsters mutated on such a large scale.
In particular, the Lanyan Beast was actually protected by a mutant red ant beast, and even the mutant red ant beast was surrounded and killed by its own kind. These situations were full of weirdness.
Unfortunately, the fighting situation at that time was too complicated. Even if he wanted to capture several prisoners for torture, he could not do it. In the end, he had no choice but to let it go.
As a result, he had just arrived at Xiqiang Planet when he encountered the red ant beast again.
The first red ant beasts that rushed out of the crypt were quite normal, not many in number, and not exceeding the standard in strength.
Qin Xiao was followed by Huyange and Haishan. The two of them attacked and defended, and quickly killed more than a dozen red ant beasts easily.
But after the first batch of red ant beasts were eliminated, the red ant beasts in several nearby caves were attracted by the bloody smell and rushed out.
In an instant, the originally quiet mountainous area turned into a battlefield, and more than 300 red ant beasts rushed out of a dozen nearby caves.
Qin Xiao only set out with a team of ten people. When he saw that the situation had changed, he directly called for help and grabbed Haishan and Huyange who were about to rush forward to fight.
"Asshole, have you forgotten everything I taught you before?" Qin Xiao cursed angrily after putting down the transmitter.
During this operation, Qin Xiao brought Huyange, Haishan and Zhao Ruling. For safety reasons, Haiyue was left to continue studying at Polu Academy.
The soul of their current team is naturally Qin Xiao.
But except for the four of them who often fight together, the rest are all students selected from various universities.
These students are all at the first level of the Star Realm. They are considered outstanding students in their academy, but on the battlefield, no one cares whether you are excellent or not.
Qin Xiao's first principle in leading the team has always been to ensure the absolute safety of his teammates. Only when everyone around him is alive can he exert his full combat power.
When Qin Xiao stopped Hu Yange and Haishan, Zhao Ruling had already gathered the troops with familiarity and led the remaining people to fight and retreat.
It wasn't until they found a big enough bunker that everyone took out their weapons and tried their best to stop the red ant beasts from attacking.
Haishan didn't dare to act without authorization anymore and honestly protected his teammates around him.
It was only then that Huyange got Qin Xiao's permission and rushed towards the red ants to distract some of the strange beasts and help the main attacking team share the pressure.
Qin Xiao did not take action. He always stood in the middle of the team. It seemed that he was holding down the formation, but in fact he was observing the situation in the red ants.
He discovered that there were also three mutant red ant beasts mixed in the red ant beasts here.
There are actually three mutants out of a mere three hundred red ant beasts. This situation cannot be explained at all.
Looking at the battle situation in front of him, Qin Xiao suddenly made a bold guess. The Qiang star warriors on the Xiqiang planet were studying the mutation of alien beasts.
But after thinking about it again, he felt that this guess was wrong.
In his memory, the only impression left on him by Xiqiang Star was repeated rebellion.
As a planet that both the Xingji Empire and the Tianluo Empire want to compete for, Xiqiang Planet is a perfect wallflower, and they will fall to whichever side offers more benefits.
But this is a weak planet after all. With only the resources and situation of a second-class star, it is destined to be unable to develop high-end technology on its own.
If you want to delve into the mutation of strange beasts, it doesn't mean that you just have to have one or two talented pharmacists among the Qiang people.
Without sufficient resource support and frequent technical exchanges, just one or two talented pharmacists simply cannot achieve this.
At least not to this extent.
"Could it be that the power of the Tianluo Empire has already penetrated in at this time?"
After this idea popped into Qin Xiao's mind, he couldn't get it out of his mind.
While he was thinking about this, Guan Shanyue had already brought people to support him, and Yuan Chen also came soon after.
The three teams joined forces to strangle, and these red ant beasts naturally had no ability to resist.
But after seeing the three mutant red ant beasts, Guan Shanyue's expression became a little solemn.
Fortunately, the battle ended smoothly. Although the young Star Soldiers who followed Qin Xiao and others out to fight were a little nervous, they were more excited.
Many of them actually killed the alien beasts with their own hands, feeling the atmosphere of the battle, which made them excited.
Qin Xiao and Guan Shanyue did not separate after meeting. The two teams joined forces to start investigating. At the same time, Lin Feng sent four more teams to go out to investigate after learning about the situation outside.
"How come there are so many mutated beasts?" Guan Shanyue asked in confusion while walking.
Qin Xiao thought for a while and directly recounted what he experienced on the 101st Flying Star a few months ago.
Guan Shanyue listened quietly. After listening, she did not rush to come to a conclusion. Instead, she looked at Qin Xiao and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
"The Qiang royal family has colluded with the Tianluo Empire and has begun in-depth cooperation, such as research on genetic mutations." Qin Xiao decisively stated his guess.
In this matter, Qin Xiao has absolute trust in Guan Shanyue.
Not only because they were once comrades-in-arms, but also because no one cared more about the interests of the Xingji Empire than Guan Shanyue.
But Guan Shanyue did not get excited after hearing such speculation. Instead, she still said calmly: "Don't make it public. This kind of thing cannot be spread casually."
"I know, I'm just telling you." Qin Xiao nodded and replied.
Gradually, Guan Shanyue got used to this way of getting along with Qin Xiao. Although he didn't understand why Qin Xiao knew him so well, at least he could feel Qin Xiao's kindness.
For example, when it comes to speculation on this matter, Qin Xiao could obviously say nothing, but he did say everything and had no intention of gesticulating on this matter.
Guan Shanyue was extremely impressed by Qin Xiao's ability to grasp many things.
Guan Shanyue even wanted to ask Bai Qi more than once if Bai Qi had secretly told Qin Xiao his identity.
If not, how could Qin Xiao always take advantage of it and tell him what he wanted to know most without asking him to do anything.
Fortunately, Qin Xiao was always showing goodwill. Although Guan Shanyue had many doubts in her heart, she was not sensitive enough to be wary of Qin Xiao. 33
A few hours later, the team members who went out to investigate the situation returned.
After Qin Xiao, other teams also encountered attacks from alien beasts, and without exception they were all red ant beasts.
Fortunately, the subsequent exploration teams sent by Lin Feng were coordinated by two teams. In addition, the distance between the surrounding teams was always maintained appropriately, and the battle did not cause any damage.
Fortunately, the students who followed them did not realize anything was wrong. They all subconsciously thought that this was a common situation on the battlefield.
In addition, students who went out to explore participated in the battle and received corresponding military exploits.
Although it was only a small score, it still made them cheer.
For college students, military merit is the most precious thing. This is hard currency that can be directly exchanged for rewards in major high-end colleges. How can they not be happy.
The other students who failed to participate in the war were also aroused to be competitive, making them want to go out and fight.
Although the hunting base is not even a prototype, at least the fighting spirit of these student soldiers is still strong, which is a rare good news in the chaotic situation.
However, compared to the excitement of the students, all the teachers who came with the team were not happy at all.
The teachers' worries stem from the construction progress of the hunting base. On an alien planet where turmoil may break out at any time, there is not even a base that can provide the most basic protection. After all, it is a big taboo.
Qin Xiao didn't mention his guess to anyone else. He just told Lin Feng in private, believing that Lin Feng would not announce it without being sure.
However, Lin Feng still showed enough attention and concern about the situation that Qin Xiao guessed.
Then, Lin Feng asked something that made Qin Xiao almost vomit blood: "What do you think about this matter?"
Qin Xiao tried hard to hold back and didn't let himself use foul language.
"No matter how you look, no matter how you look, they all ask me how to see! How else can I see? Of course I see with my eyes! Can I still see with my butt!"
Qin Xiao roared secretly in his heart, but replied calmly on his face: "Other than asking the military to speed up the dispatch of follow-up teams, there is no better way to deal with it, unless we withdraw now."
"The next team will arrive in three days, but it is a team of purely technical workers. Let them bring the news back then." Lin Feng frowned and said.
They all know that it is absolutely impossible to withdraw now, and all they can do now is to quickly establish a defensive area.
In fact, strictly speaking, their current situation is very dangerous. Not to mention that the hunting base has not yet been truly established. Even if there is a base now, it is still equally dangerous.
Their weak defensive strength is their biggest flaw. A thousand Stars will look better in a peaceful area like Elam.
But on a dangerous battlefield, a thousand Star Soldiers are just a corps, and the role of a corps is quite limited.
As dawn approached, the technical workers who had been busy all night were obviously beginning to get tired, and the student soldiers, who had nowhere to use their energy, joined in the construction work of the fortifications.
Guan Shanyue and Qin Xiao once again led a team to go out to investigate. They planned to take advantage of the sufficient light to explore the actual situation of the Jiulong Mountain behind them.
Standing on the mountainside and looking back, the base now has a clear scope, which is a bit better than when they first arrived.
Looking at the prototype of the base, Qin Xiao suddenly said: "When will this construction be completed?"
"Otherwise, how else can we build it this way?" Guan Shanyue asked.
Qin Xiao stretched out his hand and waved it a few times, as if measuring something, and then said: "Our current defensive thinking seems to be wrong."
Some people died, but not completely...
