"Don't speed, don't turn around, don't fire."

This is a warning!

Everyone on the warship was shocked and repeatedly pondered the meaning of this sentence, but there was too little information, and everyone was confused and racked their brains to figure out why. After discussing for a long time, there was no conclusion. The only thing that is certain is that the words composed of these stones should be left by the expedition crew who sent the message for help, but what about them?

After a few minutes of silence, Zhuang Xiaolin ordered: "Search around, maybe there are clues."

The operator immediately controlled the lens of the reconnaissance satellite and scanned the plain where the text was located several times, but found nothing. The landform on this planet is the same, and most of the surface is composed of rocks and dark soil. It is almost the same to look down from a high altitude. It is difficult to distinguish useful information by reconnaissance satellites.

"Put down the drone." Zhuang Xiaolin said again.

A drone that was only more than three meters long ejected from the warship hangar and landed towards the plain at an extremely high initial speed. Its speed soon reached Mach 15. The camera on the plane sent the real-time image back to the warship.

The plain is located in the equatorial area of ​​the planet. A few minutes later, the drone was only more than 30 kilometers away from the ground. The text on the plain was clearly visible. There were still a large number of messy traces left beside the boulders that made up the text. The drone pilot was about to slow down and approach the text, but suddenly the screen turned black and the video signal was interrupted.

"What's the situation?" everyone asked one after another.

The pilot also looked confused and shook his head, "I don't know either, the whole plane is missing."

At this time, the reconnaissance satellite switched the screen to the screen in time to play back the scene of the drone landing. In the previous second, the drone flew as usual, but in the next second, the drone in high-speed flight suddenly disappeared. The satellite put the screen back many times in a row, but unfortunately the distance was too far, and the satellite did not focus on the drone, so the shooting was not very clear.

Everyone was worried and couldn't understand what was going on.

Zhuang Xiaolin said decisively: "Put another drone out, and this time the satellite will be locked."

"yes."

Another drone ejected immediately, and not long after, it reached the sky above the plain. In front of everyone, the drone repeated the same mistake and disappeared from the screen. However, this time the reconnaissance satellite was photographed very clearly. The moment before the drone disappeared, a red ray appeared out of thin air, hitting the drone with extremely accurate accuracy.

This ray looks very ordinary, similar to a laser, with a diameter of less than five centimeters, and it appears very short, lasting only about one tenth of a second, flashing away, but its power is extremely terrifying, instantly penetrating the titanium alloy shell of the drone and vaporizing the entire aircraft.

Everyone looked at each other in shock, with only one thought in their minds: "Where did this laser ray come from? Where did it go?"

The reconnaissance satellite did not find where it was shot from. After destroying the drone, it did not continue to fly forward, but disappeared like it was escaping into the void.

The laser ray itself is not scary, it is scary, it comes and goes without a trace, appears out of thin air, and disappears out of thin air.

In addition, what are the conditions for triggering laser rays? Is this prohibiting all aircraft from landing on planets? Is it a mysterious weapon left by super civilization? What are the technical principles?

One question after another followed, and the atmosphere on the warship became more and more strange. Faced with things that were incomprehensible, many people quietly felt a desire to retreat in their hearts.

Zhuang Xiaolin fell into deep thought. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "How many drones do we have?"

The pilot checked the weapons reserves on the battleship and replied: "Twelve."

"Continue to let go." Zhuang Xiaolin issued an order. Seeing everyone's faces confused, he said again: "You must slow down the drone this time and stop landing at such a fast speed."

After hearing Zhuang Xiaolin's words, many people with flexible thinking guessed what he thought.

Although the pilot did not understand very well, he still did. The third drone was released and landed from space at a speed of Mach. It took more than an hour to approach the ground. Everyone stared at the screen. The drone passed the two disappeared positions without any damage. This time, the laser ray did not appear.

"I see!"

A mercenary exclaimed excitedly: "The word 'Don't speed' means not to fly too fast, otherwise it will trigger the attack of laser rays!"

Actually, it doesn’t take him to say that everyone understands the safety of the drone.

The pilot controlled the drone's Mach speed to cruise over the plain. He first sent the eight-character situation on the ground back to the warship, and then expanded the search range around the text to try to find traces of humans. However, after searching for a long time, the stone text also analyzed it over and over again, but there was still no result.

There are indeed many messy marks around the text, all of which are messy stones scattered randomly, occasionally mixed with a few human footprints. You can tell at a glance that they were stepped out in power armor, and there seemed to be a very fierce battle.

The drone tried to get closer to check, and the flight altitude dropped a little, but an accident happened again. The plane lost control and crashed on the ground, turning into a pile of scrap iron in the blink of an eye.

"What's going on?" Everyone looked at each other.

The pilot checked the data and quickly found the reason. The report said: "After the drone's flight altitude is less than 300 meters, the electromagnetic signal is disturbed, so the control is interrupted."

Zhuang Xiaolin thoughtfully and waved his hand: "Put down another one."

In the following hours, at the cost of six drones, it was finally discovered that there was a strange shielding force field on the surface of this planet, which could interfere with the transmission of electromagnetic waves and cover the world without blind spots. Any aircraft with a flight altitude of less than 300 meters can no longer contact the outside world.

At the same time, the upper limit of the speed of the trigger laser ray was also measured, which was about Mach 7. As long as the speed did not exceed Mach 7, the mysterious laser ray would not appear.

Then there is no other useful information.

After searching for several consecutive days, except for the eight stone characters, the reconnaissance satellites found no other abnormalities. Not to mention artificial buildings, no signs of life were found.

During this period, people on the warship were filled with hearts. Faced with such a strange planet, some mercenaries privately expressed their intention to retreat. Although no one said it openly, the rumors inevitably spread and gained support from many people. This made Zhuang Xiaolin very unhappy, but he could not have an attack. He had an ugly face all day long. The mercenaries were cautious in front of him, and they didn't even dare to show off their anger.

Xin Ji, who had not participated in the discussion, continued to pay attention to Zhuang Xiaolin, knowing that he had never thought of leaving empty-handed.

In fact, most of the mercenaries, including two deputy commanders, supported Zhuang Xiaolin. Everyone risked their lives to cross more than a thousand light years and ran to the hinterland of the Steel Berry Empire. As a result, when things were about to happen, they ran away without even landing. No one would be reluctant.

There is also the saying "Don't turn around" that makes people feel heavy, pointing to the warship and not turning around. Before we understand these three "Don't" warnings, no one dares to turn around easily.

But if you want to figure out all this, you will inevitably land on the planet.

Finally, after hesitating for a few days, Zhuang Xiaolin summoned everyone on the battleship and announced that he would land on the planet. He and Deputy Commander Lei Wen led the team personally, and Deputy Commander Eugene stayed on the battleship to prepare for backup command.

"This is the list of people who log in this time. If anyone doesn't want to go, they can raise it now."

A holographic screen unfolded in front of everyone's eyes, and sixty names were listed on it, all of which were the strongest people in the Thunder Tiger Mercenary Group, and Xin Ji was also among them.

Xin Ji was not surprised by this. Not long ago, when Zhuang Xiaolin and the two deputy leaders discussed the login list, he knew.

There are currently more than 500 people on the warship, one-third of which are logistics personnel. Their role in the mercenary group is to serve, including responsible for diet, medical care, warship operation and maintenance, weapon maintenance, etc. The remaining more than 300 people are full-time combatants.

The situation of this planet is too strange. Zhuang Xiaolin dared not send all the combat mercenaries at once. He decided to draw the strongest group of people and divide them into two landing planes to set off.

Xin Ji had just joined the mercenary group, but his strength was obvious to all. Judging by Lei Wen Drag's eyes, Xin Ji's strength was enough to rank among the top 20 mercenary group, so he was put on the list. This was the first time that Zhuang Xiaolin officially learned about Xin Ji's existence. If it were the past, he would definitely call Shi Hongyi to meet him, but forgot it now. Since Lei Wen admired him so much, he did not object.

To be honest, Xin Ji refused to land on the planet in his heart.

However, after seeing Zhuang Xiaolin announce the list, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes. He was very conscious of the current affairs and did not speak out. However, some people couldn't figure out the situation at this time.

"Captain, how can I not go?" asked a middle-aged mercenary.

Everyone looked at the middle-aged mercenary. He showed a little shame on his face and explained in a low voice: "My son was just born before departure. I don't want to die here, so that he can lose his father..."

Zhuang Xiaolin had no expression on his face. Before the middle-aged mercenary finished speaking, he suddenly punched him out of thin air.

Bang!

A red light shone, and a hot fist wind hit the middle-aged mercenary in the crowd in the air, knocking him away, hitting the metal wall of the warship heavily, and his bones were broken into countless pieces, and he fainted before he even landed.

"Take it down and lock it up, don't let him die. Go back to Space City and ask his family to pay a ransom of 10 million before throwing it off the boat." Zhuang Xiaolin said coldly.

Seeing the middle-aged mercenary being carried out, everyone was silent.

There were also several mercenaries who originally wanted to exit the login list who saw this ending, so they dared not speak, so they quickly shut their mouths honestly.

Xin Ji shook his head secretly, Zhuang Xiaolin was killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, so that those mercenaries who were interested in retreating knew who was the boss on the warship and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

From this punch, Zhuang Xiaolin showed terrifying power.

The middle-aged mercenary was a high-level warrior who had reached the limit of the node. His strength was quite good, otherwise he would not have been selected into the list, but he could not catch Zhuang Xiaolin's punch. The gap between the strength of the two sides was too big, as insurmountable as a natural barrier.

Xin Ji thought that he had changed himself, and without wearing the iron-blooded general, he could not stop Zhuang Xiaolin's punches.

"If you want to attack Zhuang Xiaolin secretly, you must act cautiously and make plans for the long term." He remained silent on his face, but he was thinking repeatedly in his heart.

Zhuang Xiaolin's eyes swept over the mercenary and said in a deep voice: "Is anyone else trying to quit?"

The deck was quiet.

"Very good." Zhuang Xiaolin nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Then put on armor and set off."

The remaining fifty-nine people on the list, including Zhuang Xiaolin and Lei Wen Drag, all rushed to the equipment compartment of the warship, where sixty-one pairs of power armor were prepared and placed next to the wearable machinery. The Thunder Tiger Mercenary Group has reserved more than two hundred sets of power armor on the warship, most of which are standard mass-produced ordinary armor, named the Fearless Series.

The price of a set of fearless armor is around 70 million, which is considered a bargain. It is not very outstanding in terms of protection or firepower. Its performance can only be at the bottom among the many armors in the Federation.

Even if the performance of the Fearless is mediocre, it is power armor, which greatly increases the chances of the mercenaries' survival.

Ten armored wear machinery were activated at the same time. The mercenaries took off their coats and walked up one by one. The armor was quickly installed. In less than a minute, a set of blue and white armor was completely worn on their bodies. The sound of mechanical transmission was made while walking. The armor brought an inexplicable sense of security, which gave everyone more confidence.

Xin Ji also wore a set of fearless armor. He adapted casually. His user experience was more than one level different from that of the Iron Blood War.

Put on the armor, choose weapons, and bring a batch of ammunition, potions and nutrient solution. Everyone went to the hangar and sat in two login machines.

Zhuang Xiaolin and Lei Wen led a landing aircraft respectively, and Xin Ji was assigned to Lei Wen. He noticed that Lei Wen's armor was different from the mercenaries. He wore a set of anti-fire armor worth more than 300 million yuan, and its performance was much higher than that of the Fearless. On another landing aircraft, Zhuang Xiao was also wearing silver and white anti-fire armor.

After sitting firmly, the landing plane flew out of the hangar and left the battleship.

The landing location is chosen in the plain where the stone text is located, near the equator. Because the flight speed exceeds Mach 7, the laser ray will be triggered. For safety reasons, the landing plane only flies and lands at a speed of Mach 3.

Sitting in the cabin, Xin Ji's telepathy swept across people. All the mercenaries, including Lei Wen, looked at the Nebula outside the string window and were tracing their weapons, checking their armor, muttering words, revealing their uneasiness.

Xin Ji's heart was also very heavy, and the dangerous feeling always lingers in his mind, like a cervix attached to his bones, lingering.

After flying in silence for more than forty minutes, the landing plane was approaching the ground.

When the height from the ground is less than 300 meters, the internal optical brain of the armor prompts that the signal is interrupted and the network connection is lost. The communication channel previously established between the mercenaries also expires.

However, this was expected and did not cause everyone's panic.

Before landing, the landing plane changed to manual driving and could run as usual. After a few seconds, it was slightly shocked and landed on the ground. The cabin door opened immediately, and the armored mercenaries came out one after another, stepped on the surface of the planet, holding weapons, quickly forming a defensive formation to guard the surroundings.

Zhuang Xiaolin took the lead, turned his head and looked at the stone text not far away. He confirmed that there was no danger, and said, "You can withdraw the warship first."

The two mercenaries flying the landing plane said in unison that their strength was average and they did not dare to stay on the planet for a long time, so they quickly took off.

The landing plane flew into the air one after another, slowly accelerating to the high altitude.

At this time, Xin Ji was looking at the stone in front of him. The two words nearest were "turn around". A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a palpitation appeared at the same time, and he thought to himself: "No!"

Before his thoughts could be finished, he noticed two thick red lights flashing from the corner of his eyes. The two landing planes, which had just taken off for a few seconds, made a muffled sound. The weapons and ammunition in the cabin were triggered and exploded, turning into two huge balls of fireballs and scattered.

The mercenaries on the ground ran around in a mess, avoiding the shock waves caused by the explosion.

Fortunately, the landing plane exploded in the air more than 100 meters and did not cause too much damage to the mercenaries. After everyone avoided it, they turned around and looked at the wreckage that fell within a radius of hundreds of meters, and their faces were extremely ugly.
Chapter completed!
