Chapter 1544 Ground Action Force

Nolan's report surprised Hao Ren. He couldn't help but remember that he had talked about this topic when he and Nolan were chatting just now - it had been six days since his group crashed on the planet. Those who survived in the sky The reporter didn't come down to take a look at it at all. He thought it was quite wrong at the time.

Well, now they're finally here, six days late with guns blazing.

"How many people are there in total?" Vivian frowned and asked Nolan.

"There were only eighteen people, carrying various light and heavy weapons and detection equipment. Their transport plane stopped in the forest and did not move anymore. It seemed that they had established a temporary simple camp. This seemed to be a well-trained reconnaissance team with a clear purpose. force."

Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you are here for us?"

Nolan nodded: "Confirmed - they used radar and other things to shine at me just now, but I turned the antenna and flashed it with them, which blinded their radar."

This sounds like driving on the road and seeing the headlights on the opposite side, and then angrily punching the sun... Nolan usually raced too much with others, right?

N-6 looked at the humans in front of her with confusion and suddenly became serious, and then began to communicate quickly. This time she could not understand what the other party was saying - because Hao Ren and his party had turned off the translation plug-in during the internal discussion. ——She finally couldn't restrain her curiosity: "What happened?"

"Ah, I just wanted to check with you," Hao Ren looked at N-6, "By the way, you haven't already sent the recovery signal, right?"

Although he felt that even if N-6 had sent the recovery signal just now, the survivors and rebels in the sky would not be able to teleport over so quickly, Hao Ren still asked casually to confirm the situation.

The robot lady shook her head: "I haven't had time yet..."

"Then this seems to be just a coincidence," Yzaks said in a sullen voice, "There is a wave of armed men outside approaching here. They should be from the same place as you."

"Troops from Zenith?" N-6 opened his eyes in surprise, "How come there are ground troops..."

Seeing the robot girl react like this, Hao Ren was a little surprised: "Are the ground troops weird?"

"Except for sending out recyclers, Zenith rarely sends ground troops to the surface of the home planet, because ground troops have almost no role in the war with Galactus." N-6 shook his head, "Insufficient data cannot be analyzed. Which echelon they come from, I need to get in touch with them."

What Hao Ren was waiting for was this sentence: "Of course, only you can handle this matter. Come with us, and we will take you to the exit."

In the dense forest, N-4, as the temporary commander, led her team members who had just gathered and were not even familiar with each other to advance cautiously. She held the electromagnetic assault rifle in her hand tightly, but this powerful weapon Individual weapons cannot give her more sense of security at this moment - the ground of the mother star is full of dangers, and landing on the mother star is almost equivalent to giving up half of the chance of survival. This is the consensus of all agents, and at this moment , she realized this more deeply.

Especially after the team's radar equipment was destroyed by an energy pulse of unknown origin, the danger factor of this place soared.

"Left side, safe." "Right side, safe." "Communication with the camp is normal." "There is still one kilometer away from 'that thing'."

The team members quickly exchanged information through close-range radio, and everyone kept their voices low. Although their sensors could not scan any actual enemies at all, a heavy pressure still made everyone more vigilant. .

N-4 bit her lip. This action that was too close to a human showed that she was an "elite machine" whose service age was much longer than that of her colleagues. Her longer service age and more combat achievements allowed her to download more updates from the "big think tank" These data packets allow her to think more like a human and have more advanced emotions and fuzzy processing capabilities. It is these characteristics that allow her - and the improvised team members - participated in that operation.

And finally ended up here.

Do you... have a little regret?

The voice of a team member brought N-4 back to his senses: "Captain, it should be right ahead."

N-4 nodded. Although she was slightly distracted before, the logic circuit of the agent will not be affected by this level of distraction. The part of the thread she uses to perform tasks is still faithfully executing various battlefield instructions. , so she was already aware of the target before the team members issued a warning. She signaled the team members to hide in the nearby bushes, and then looked past a few sparse plants to the huge creature not far away.

It was lying quietly in the middle of the forest. The huge shock wave created when it fell directly "cleaned" a large area of ​​the forest into a large crater. The trees on the edge of the impact crater were swaying here and there, and only a large amount of burns could be seen inside the impact crater. The rocks and carbonized tree trunks, because after several days, the high temperature in the impact crater has long faded away, the only thing that can prove that a spacecraft crash occurred here is the ship dormant quietly at the bottom of the crater.

The style of that ship was unheard of. Its main part was silver-white, its long axis was more than five hundred meters, and its widest point was about two hundred meters. The overall shape was wide in the middle and narrowed at both ends. It had thick armor and There are all kinds of external equipment that have never been seen before, and there is also an eye-catching and weird painting on the upper deck of the spacecraft - it is a portrait of some kind of alien creature. The creature has sharp fangs and extremely serious and cold eyes. The triangular ears stand on the top of the head like the most vigilant warrior. At first glance, he is a hero among predators.

Using the image of a predator as the painting of the spaceship should be some kind of totem symbol, which may mean that the ship comes from a civilization full of fighting tendencies.

But no matter what, the elegance and beauty of the ship itself is undeniable.

Although he had seen this thing from blurry intelligence photos before, seeing it with his own eyes now made N-4 unable to help but exclaim in a low voice: "It's really... a beautiful spaceship."

Six days ago, this aircraft of unknown origin suddenly appeared above the atmosphere of its parent star, and then crashed on the surface of the planet. The high-energy pulse generated when it crashed instantly destroyed several detection satellites that happened to illuminate this area. The sensing system was such that the higher-level command nodes did not confirm the identity of the "crash object" until three days ago.

But what is even more abnormal is the reaction of the superior command nodes after that: the "mastermind" located in the fortress has no intention of investigating this "crash object", and even rejected all applications for remote exploration of the planet's surface. The origin of this ship The unknown spacecraft seems to have become a "forbidden zone", and the mastermind orders that all actions must be avoided.

If it hadn't been for what happened later, N-4 would have faithfully followed the orders from the Mastermind, and she wouldn't have come here at all.

"This ship... seems to be different from what was reported before." A team member discovered something unusual and whispered.

N-4 carefully observed the spacecraft impacting the bottom of the crater, and she also discovered the same problem.

The ship... didn't look damaged at all, which wasn't normal.

Since the mastermind blocked all information related to this spacecraft and stopped all detection operations, N-4 only had a blurry picture at hand. That picture was of a mysterious spacecraft that had just crashed on the surface of its parent star. The picture taken by a satellite at that time (the satellite was subsequently burned into scrap metal by the energy pulse). Although the picture is not high-definition, you can still see the miserable appearance of the crashed spacecraft. It can almost be said to be cut off at the waist. , multiple disintegration level horrific damage, it is not an exaggeration to say that it turned into a pile of wreckage, but this one in front of me...

N-4 squinted her eyes. She felt that the ship in the center of the impact crater was as if it was brand new. The injuries in the photos were all gone, and the main body of the ship that had been cut off at the waist had been completely repaired. There were even some additional parts that were not seen in the photos. No equipment.

It's almost like a different ship.

“Over there—Captain, look what that is!”

One team member pointed to the stern of the spacecraft and exclaimed in a low voice. Through the shared information link, N-4 immediately noticed that detail: she saw a twisted and deformed armor plate on the stern of the spacecraft falling off, and then a new armor plate. It's like biological regeneration, wriggling and growing from inside the hull...

"This ship is alive!" N-4 exclaimed briefly, "It keeps regenerating!"

She immediately thought of the radar that had been burned by unknown energy pulses before - that radar was suddenly damaged when the antenna was moved near the crash site of the spacecraft. Now it seems that this is a very obvious hostile signal!

A "living" spaceship, which has been dormant quietly on the surface of the planet for a few days, has now almost completely regenerated, and it has shown obvious hostility. The spacecraft is also painted with a painting that represents a fighting tendency (Lily (photo sticker), this information was summed up instantly, and N-4 immediately realized that he and his team members were in danger.

However, retreating was not a wise move - thinking of the burned radar, N-4 knew that his group might have been targeted by this living spacecraft.

and was listed as an enemy.

The logic circuit deduced quickly. The best plan was to leave some people to attract the attention of the spacecraft, while the others retreated to the camp and quickly moved away from here for funeral arrangements. This plan can ensure the highest safety. The alternative is to try to establish a relationship with the spacecraft. Contact and bet on whether this space visitor can communicate. This plan is irrational and too naive, but it is still an option.

However, just when she was about to announce Plan 1, there was sudden movement on the ship.

She saw a hatch open on the side of the spacecraft, and then a figure walked out of it.

A team member shouted in a low voice: "Captain, that seems to be N-6."

N-4 poked her head out, and her logic circuit was a little garbled. She saw N-6, who should have died in the last mission, standing there. Although there was something wrong with her body, her appearance Basically she is still the same as before, and more importantly, she is emitting N-6's identification signal.

but……

N-4 suddenly tightened her grip on the electromagnetic assault rifle. She discovered data that did not belong to the agent from the identification signal emitted by N-6. It was a code injected by incomprehensible alien technology, and she also found data from N-6 sensed many abnormal energy fluctuations on his body, and the intensity of those energy fluctuations even exceeded that of the Titanium Guards!

N-6 was abducted by aliens! N-6 was transformed by aliens! N-6 is no longer N-6!

"Pick up the weapon!" Miss N-4 quickly completed all her reasoning, "That's just a parasite stuffed in the body of N-6! N-6 has been replaced by the alien life in the spacecraft!"

"Ready to fight!"
