Chapter 396 Accidents Continue
Planet No. 1 is the main exploration target chosen by most explorer groups. For such a C-level mission, the degree of danger is too common for these large groups. Most of them are ordinary teams, and elite teams only account for a small number. This is also a way to train the team and select talents.
Ordinary players and novice players need to continue to participate in missions to experience and grow. Among them, the members who perform well will be favored by the head team, selected and trained to become elite members.
In their view, this mission to explore the Red Cloud galaxy is nothing more than a simple mission of searching for ore sources and collecting biological samples. No one would have thought that the result would develop as it was at the beginning of the mission.
The natural environment of Planet 1 is exactly the same as that of Planet 2. The air is thin, lacks water, and is full of potholes and gravel. If there is any difference, it is the temperature, because it is closer to the glowing red nebula and the atmosphere is thin. , the average temperature of planet No. 1 has been kept at around 50 degrees, and the radiation is also more intense.
Fifty degrees Celsius is already unbearably hot for most humans.
Due to the different landing locations chosen by the teams carrying out the exploration mission, all over the planet, various types of robot explorers scan around to collect data, draw detailed maps and transmit them back to the main ship.
In some places, due to the special magnetic field, the transmission signal is intermittent.
The Tiger Shark Explorers Group is the only b-level explorer group that signed up for this mission. They only dispatched a starship with a total of 2,000 members. The time to officially become an explorer is not more than two years, and they are all young.
As one of the few b-level groups in a primary civilization. The task of taking this level is entirely to train young players.
The titanium-gray starship is in the shape of a triangular wing, with huge Tiger Shark embossed logos on both wings. It is the battleship of the Tiger Shark Explorers. The fleet of the Raider regiment automatically stays away and dare not approach, this is the prestige effect of being a B-level large regiment.
In the spacious main control room of the starship bridge, there were thirty people sitting. Everyone performs their own duties. Someone is responsible for controlling the weapon system, driving system, and defense system. The division of labor is clear, so that every detail of the starship is taken care of. It can respond in the first time, and even equipped with ship engineers who are responsible for the safety and stability inspection of starship equipment.
The captain and operations leader, Welsh and first officer Rom are looking at the partial holographic map transmitted by the team.
"It seems that the possibility of living things on this planet is very low"
"I hope to find some valuable ore.
Otherwise it’s not enough for fuel.”
Among the 2,000 team members, 500 people have been divided into 50 small groups of 10 people as the vanguard team to start exploring on Planet 1.
While the two were talking, the crew member in charge of communication suddenly said, "Report to the captain, the No. 019 squad and No. 036 squad have disconnected the signal successively."
"what happened?"
"It is not possible to draw conclusions for the time being, the signal has not been stable, they may have entered a special area of the magnetic field"
Welsh's expression turned serious. Years of exploration experience told him that things might not be that simple. Sure enough, it didn't take long for five teams to lose their signal connection with the main ship one after another. Something is going on on the planet that they don't know about.
"Turn on the communication monitoring on all team members"
"Yes. Captain"
At this time, the voice from Team 008 surprised them.
"What is this?"
"ah"
"Grandpa fought with you"
"It's coming again. It's coming again." Looking at the monsters that changed from one to two, and from two to four, eight, sixteen, and multiplied, the young explorer felt that he was on the verge of a nightmare and hadn't woken up yet. . Either the way of opening the eyes is wrong, otherwise how could there be such an unkillable creature.
"Call the main ship, call the main ship, and immediately report to Captain Wales. We were attacked by plants on planet 1. They can't kill them anyway. They are too scary. They can be... ah"
Before the words fell, there was a puff, followed by a sharp howl of pain, and no sound came out after the communication was interrupted.
The team members who were reporting were being inserted by countless straws at this time, and they were rapidly drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, there was no skin left, and all of them turned into plant nutrients.
The experience of No. 008 squad and the encounters of several other squads is self-evident, and the last unfinished words of the captain of No. 008 squad obviously wanted to say that there was something special about the strange creatures that attacked them, but the signal was very disturbed. Seriously, Welsh and the others didn't hear what he was saying clearly.
At this time, the facts have proved that the guess that there are no creatures on planet No. 1 is wrong. Not only are there, but they are also quite powerful. From the analysis of the previous situation, it is almost possible to solve a team of ten people in one face-to-face. The lethality and sneak attack ability can be imagined.
"Notify the other squads, let them pay attention to vigilance, and immediately let the remaining vanguard squads integrate into two large columns"
"Is there a high-level alien beast?"
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as a strange beast"
"Report to the captain, the signal has been interfered by unknown means, at this time 16 squads are unable to receive the order notification"
Time passed by, and the news sent back was not a good thing. The surviving team did not find any valuable discoveries, and the team that lost contact could not be contacted at all. They don't know what species, what's even more frustrating is that the location tracking of the aircraft has disappeared, which means that the aircraft has been destroyed, and it is impossible for the vanguard team on Planet 1 to retreat even if they want to.
I thought it was just an exercise for accumulating experience, but I didn't expect it to develop like this. Wales is a headache. These are all new explorers, but they are all the future forces of the regiment. It took a lot of time and money to train each one. He felt sorry for one, let alone folded so many at once, what face would he have when he returned to the regiment headquarters.
"Damn, what is going on, what kind of creature is so cruel?"
"Captain, we have received cooperation requests from two explorer groups"
Wales thought for a while, but did not respond immediately.
Of course, the tiger shark explorers were not the only ones who were attacked by inexplicable creatures. Almost all the explorers who landed on Planet 1 were attacked, and even the vanguards of several smaller teams were wiped out. It was even more terrifying. What is worse is that all the aircraft used to land on the planet are destroyed.
The room leak happened to be raining all night, which probably reflected the inner feelings of the members of the Explorers at this time. Before they could figure out what happened on Planet 1, they found that another trouble had arisen.
"Reporting to the captain, a fleet is found at positions 36 and 29 on the left rear and is heading towards our position at high speed"
An interstellar mercenary team composed of ten battleships appeared in front of many explorers. If there is any difference between mercenaries and interstellar pirates, it is that the former is a legal organization and the latter is suppressed by law. That's really hard to say, the former is nothing more than wearing a coat that can see people, and the two identities can be switched to each other when necessary.
The resources of the public star field are not exclusive to any country or force, and naturally the explorer guild is also included. These mercenaries came to get a piece of the pie after hearing the news, to see if there is any good information, even the guild It cannot be said that they disagree.
If you want to prevent the other party from participating, there are only two ways, one is to let the other party sell face and retreat automatically, and the other is to beat the other party to retreat.
But at this time, the opponent lined up in a deterrent fleet formation, which clearly shows that the opponent is not conscious at all, but as a formal group like explorers, the principle and purpose are generally based on justice. The act of attacking people for no reason will definitely not be supported by public opinion, and it is unrealistic to negotiate with force.
"This was discovered by the Explorers' Guild first, and everything must be told on a first-come, first-served basis."
"Haha, I'm offended. This is a public star field. All resources belong to all human beings. Naturally, those who see them have a share. The Explorers' Guild will not be overbearing and not allow us to participate in the exploration."
Under normal circumstances, mercenaries naturally have to give face to the Explorers' Guild, but due to the particularity of the public star field, these mercenaries who have not indicated their origins do not intend to follow the rules under the trend of interests. If you don't know anyone, is it possible that the guild can check each one carefully before retaliating?
Negotiations between the two sides did not end happily.
"Humph" Rom looked at the light screen and snorted coldly, "These mercenaries really take themselves seriously, why don't you give them some color?"
"Isn't that just right? Tell the team members not to act rashly. Let these mercenaries take the lead after they land." Wales smiled and said, "Now the situation on planet 1 is unknown, and planet 2 may not be safe. Let these mercenaries Soldiers to explore the way"
"Then the cooperation proposed by the other explorers?"
"Of course it is to cooperate with them. This galaxy is probably not easy. The newcomers from our regiment alone may not be able to complete the mission. Let all the mission teams unite."
Accidents keep happening to the team on Planet 1, and now a large number of mercenaries have arrived. If Welsh was hesitant to cooperate with other explorers before, but now cooperation has become the best choice. At least compared to mercenaries, explorers are also under the jurisdiction of the guild, so they can be regarded as their own.
All the teams participating in the Red Cloud galaxy exploration mission also received a cooperation notice from the Tiger Shark explorer. Of course, everyone agrees with this proposal.
If it was proposed by other teams, some teams might still hesitate, but given the prestige of the Tiger Shark Explorers in the Star Alliance, no one would object at this time.
Including Ye Yanluo and Wuming, as a little transparent, they didn't even have the right to speak, and they were directly cooperated.
