Chapter 138 "Forest" "Wolf"

Soon after.

In the ruins base, the waiting area in front of the seventh space gate.

"..."

Xiao Qiang was observing the scene on the other side of the gate through the perspective of the hellhound presented on the helmet screen.

He and thirteen comrades were standing on the metal floor of the waiting area.

At the same time, there were more than a dozen Hex robots responsible for carrying equipment boxes, and four light-armored Tyrants controlled by drivers, about three meters in height, holding large-caliber BFG plasma guns.

After all, the company's Tyrant reserves were close to two thousand, which was finally "rich" compared to two years ago, so they were allocated four light-armored Tyrants of the reconnaissance model, as well as the corresponding drivers and technical teams.

Of course, as the first armed unit to step through the space gate for reconnaissance, the advance team actually has the most sophisticated equipment and weapons.

For example, each person has a Gauss gun, metal hydrogen grenade and magnetic levitation scanner.

Even the hazardous environment work clothes (HEV) they wear have been fully upgraded. In addition to using the condensed state of energy storage to be responsible for power supply, the overall appearance is no different from power armor.

Although they were still wearing traditional one-piece combat suits, not the titanium nanosuits that could "squeeze people to death", they, like the investigators, were injected with nanorobots carrying the information of the 24th pair of chromosomes.

In other words, Xiaoqiang and his comrades were fully enhanced and were the top elite soldiers in the human category of the company.

As for the pictures taken by the hellhound, it showed that the other side of the door was in the sunny afternoon and deep in the dense forest with beautiful environment.

Just looking at this appearance, I thought the space door was opened in the forest of another earth.

But the brief data sent back by the hellhound showed:

"Temperature: 27℃

Gravity: about 1.3G.

Atmospheric pressure: about 1.1 times the atmospheric pressure.

Atmospheric composition;

Oxygen: 23%

Nitrogen: 76%

Carbon dioxide: 0.04%

Total content of other rare gases: 0.96%"

The overall situation is not much different from the earth, but the other side of the door is definitely not the earth, but another earth-like planet suitable for human habitation.

"Soap, Ghost, Xiaoqiang." At this time, Price gave orders on the communication channel as usual: "You three should go through the space gate and cooperate with the hellhound to confirm safety first."

"Received."

"Understood."

"."

The three people who received the instructions left the team and went straight through the space gate that looked like a mercury mirror.

——

…

A flash of white light passed by.

Xiaoqiang successfully stepped into the world on the other side of the door, and looked around with the Gauss rifle in his hand, trying to find any potential threats.

But after the pulse scan, there was no obvious change on the slightly reduced radar, only more than a dozen yellow dots representing hellhounds were displayed.

With them wandering around and on guard, combined with the real-time data provided by HEV, Xiaoqiang basically determined that there was no threat in this area for the time being.

And Soap, who was walking in front of Xiaoqiang, looked at the surrounding environment, especially the clear stream and the gorgeous flowers that attracted insects, and teased:

"This place is really suitable for retirement."

"If you are not afraid of rheumatism."

The ghost who walked to the front from the left side of Xiaoqiang habitually replied.

Hearing this, Soap laughed and replied on the communication: "I really don't know if you have a sense of humor or just a bad mouth."

At this time.

The entire advance team at the ruins base, as well as the Hex Robot and the Light Tyrant, also passed through the space gate and came to the depths of this quiet dense forest together.

Immediately afterwards, the two advance team members released four drones, and the remaining team members either cooperated with the Tyrant to expand the alert range here, or built a wired base station with the Hex Robot.

And Price continued to order on the communication: "The drone shows that there is an open area two kilometers away to the north. Soap, Ghost, Xiaoqiang, the three of you go on foot to scout, and be careful not to exceed the shielding range of the space gate."

"Leave it to us." Soap replied on behalf of the two comrades.

Next.

As always, the three kept their distance and covered each other as they ran quickly to the north, shuttling through the forest where the vegetation was not dense.

After a while, the space gate disappeared behind the three people and disappeared.

After running for nearly half a minute, the three slowed down their pace and slowly approached the edge of the forest.

And while walking, they found that the flowers, plants and trees around them were very familiar, but they could not call out their actual names, because they were almost the same as those on Earth, with only slight differences.

Even insects were the same.

In terms of appearance, insects were not as huge, strange and blue as those on Pandora, but they were also the same as those on Earth.

Through the dynamic capture and image indentation of the helmet screen, Xiaoqiang could clearly see the ants crawling on the wet soil, the woodlice hiding in the shade, and the bees busy among the flowers, or the mosquitoes trying to drill through their armor and suck their blood.

Huh. Huh.

Suddenly, the dynamic capture instantly locked onto a bush on their right side.

!

Seeing this situation, the three immediately turned their guns to the bush about 20 meters away.

And the slightly zoomed radar showed a gray dot marked with a "?" question mark.

This indicates that there are unknown creatures in the grass that are relatively large and pose a certain threat.

The three of them didn't need to communicate, and Soap took the initiative to stay where he was and provide cover, while Xiaoqiang and Ghost gradually approached the bush.

"."

Inside the helmet, Xiaoqiang kept breathing steadily from beginning to end, and his heart rate did not fluctuate significantly.

He and his comrades were already used to all kinds of strange phenomena, and were not afraid of any threats or enemies.

Once it was confirmed that the guy hiding in the bush had an aggressive tendency, he and Ghost would open fire without hesitation, destroy his ability to move, and then try to capture him.

After all, colleagues in the biology department need actual materials to understand the local ecological environment.

Hey! Hey!

The reaction of the motion capture became more and more intense, and Xiaoqiang also put his index finger on the trigger.

"Aofu!"

The hiding guy may have sensed the approach of "death", so he chose to howl and took the initiative to jump out of the bush, exposing himself to Xiaoqiang and his team's visual field.

Is.

Is it a wolf? ?

Judging from its size, the wolf in front of Xiaoqiang and his team was only of medium size. If the tail was included, its length was barely close to two meters.

But the most bizarre thing was that the wolf actually had green hair, and some parts even looked like leaves.

"What kind of wolf is this?" Soap exclaimed in the communication.

"Catch it first, Xiaoqiang, help me cover, and never let it run away." Ghost continued to approach the frightened green leaf wolf.

It was precisely because of the overly complex fear that Ghost concluded that it had a considerable degree of intelligence and was qualitatively different from ordinary animals on Pandora.

Therefore, Ghost decided to capture it by force to avoid exposing the company's activities here too early.

The whole capture process was quite smooth.

The green leaf wolf seemed to know the consequences of resistance, and it was extremely obedient to let Ghost use high-strength restraints to quickly tie up its limbs.

Then, Xiaoqiang and the other two marked and reminded on the zoomed radar, and after waiting for a while, four hellhounds and a Hex robot arrived here.

After handing the Green Leaf Wolf to the robot for transportation and the Hellhound escorting it back to the space gate, they quickly moved forward towards the open area in the north that the drone had photographed.

It took only a few minutes.

They crossed a muddy stream and came to the edge of the forest.

Using trees as cover and observing through the helmet screen, Xiaoqiang found that they were in a higher terrain.

The lower flat area in the north has vast green plains, clear lakes, and

towns where "people" live.
