Chapter 359

  The planet under the feet is code-named I-544204 in the star chart mark of the Interstellar Council, which means that it means the silent planet that has been destroyed by unknown events before the First Era or earlier.

  During the incomparably long years, similar dead planets are as numerous as Ganges sands in the universe, almost endless.

  The law of the universe is like this—destruction breeds new life, and new life is mixed with destruction. Everything is like a grand reincarnation, turning tirelessly in the gear called 'time'.

  However, there are some obvious differences between this planet and those completely exhausted dead planets. Perhaps because of the incomplete extinction, this planet still retains a lot of resources that were stored before the destruction.

  Now these resources are frozen under layers of thick ice and snow, like a hot furnace that continuously emits heat, attracting all people who are full of coveted energy treasures from the previous era.

   With such a large planet, even if tens of thousands of people explore it for decades, they may not be able to get accurate material reports. It is impossible for the Alliance of Order to pin their hopes on a group of students who do not even have sixth-level warriors.

  The 'combustible ice' that they need to explore right now can only be regarded as a low-to-medium-level energy source that can be detected on the surface of the planet.

  …

  I-544204 Planetary surface.

  Li Yueming and others wore thick protective clothing and walked along a huge ice shell.

  Most of the people present are level 5 fighters, unable to withstand all kinds of extreme environments in the cosmic starry sky, so their action efficiency is very slow.

   Only Fleur and others can maintain enough flexibility.

  According to the prior arrangements on the spaceship, among the group of students present, the fifth-level fighters were in charge of specific exploration and collection, while Manda, Donald, Fleur and others were in charge of investigation and defense.

   Therefore, the lineup of a group of people is currently scattered, the sixth-level warriors are active on the fringes of the team, and the fifth-level warriors can move forward with peace of mind.

  Following the navigation instructions, soon, a huge ice cave appeared in front of them.

   This is a hole drilled by the Star Field Explorer in the ice layer, which is specially used for detection and reconnaissance.

   Wait for everyone to approach the cave.

The voice of the special agent team leader sounded: "When the investigators drilled holes here, they detected a lot of activity traces of energy life forms underground. The energy level is about 1500 MPa. Although it is not high, it is also dangerous. Be careful, return after finding the general location and capacity of the combustible ice, don't go too far!"

  The so-called energy life form is a very strange creature in the universe.

  They generally appear in various places where large-scale energy is stored, feed on the stored energy, grow very fast, and will attack all creatures that try to compete with them for energy.

  Although I-544204 is a dead and dead planet, the huge energy contained in it is obviously the most sought after thing by energy life forms.

  Therefore, even though they are isolated from the outside world at a depth of thousands of meters underground, there are still energy life forms that choose to take root and reproduce.

  The reason why the Explorer did not dare to go too deep into the ground is exactly the same.

— After all, no one knows how many energy life forms are hidden in the bottom of this planet. If the detection is too deep, it may poke a hornet's nest. We must send people to slowly explore layer by layer to confirm that the energy content and purity are suitable for investment. After the cost is mined, resources can continue to be invested.

   An energy life form with an energy level of 1200 MPa is roughly equivalent to a warrior with a combat power of 12,000.

Relatively speaking, it is not very high, but on such a big planet with so many minerals, there should be a lot of energy life forms, and there may be some powerful mutant individuals mixed in. If there is a conflict, the team It's hard to get cheap.

  …

  Hearing the group leader's instruction, everyone cheered up.

   Start walking down along the traces of the thread drilled by the Explorer in the mine.

  As it gets deeper and deeper, the temperature of the surrounding environment is also dropping. Because of the protective clothing, everyone does not feel any discomfort, but their hearts are getting more and more nervous.

   After all, when they were on the surface, their bodies could barely resist the temperature of more than one hundred degrees below zero.

After approaching the mission target site, the ambient temperature may have approached more than two hundred and sixty degrees below zero, which is infinitely close to the absolute zero in the physical sense. If something happens at this time and the protective clothing breaks, they will be with you in a few minutes. The surrounding temperature blends into one.

  Li Yueming was at the center of the team.

  Because he is a mechanic, he enjoys better treatment. He only needs to follow the team to repair various weapons and mechanical devices that may be damaged for them, and he does not need to join the battle.

   Of course, no one expected him to be able to participate in the battle.

  After all, a mechanic is notoriously weak before he is promoted to a combat mechanic. Instead of expecting him to kill, it is better to expect him to be faster when repairing things so as not to drag down the team's marching efficiency.

  The thread traces drilled by the explorers were bottomless, and everyone walked slowly for three or four hours before arriving at the target area.

  …

   There is a deep blue ocean in front of you.

  If you abandon the naked eye and use the energy scanning system that comes with the protective clothing to see, everything in front of you will be even more spectacular. Countless combustible ice is stacked together, just like the bluest ocean in the world.

   Layers upon layers of pure incomparable.

  The screen of the special agent team and the screen of the explorer team are synchronized.

  At this moment, when seeing such a large amount of combustible ice energy, a kind of students couldn't help but widen their eyes.

  Compared to their shock, the group leader's voice did not show much excitement, and calmly gave instructions: "Collect as many samples as possible from several areas, and bring them back to test the purity of energy!"

   It is estimated that the explorer has already made a general inventory of the amount of these resource reserves, and the reason why they are sent down is only to collect more samples of combustible ice and to accurately determine the specific amount of combustible ice.

  The students spread out slowly and approached the combustible ice mine not far away in a triangle shape.

  It is said to be a mineral layer, but in fact these combustible ices are distributed in a similar way to those ice cubes on the surface of the planet.

   It was also a thick piece, exuding an extremely cold air.

  However, just as a group of students were about to investigate, an alarm sounded suddenly from their protective clothing.

  The students in the middle area immediately looked around vigilantly.

The agent leader's solemn voice came, and he said: "Be alert, there is a living body underground approaching you, the straight-line distance is 300 meters, it is preliminarily judged to be an energy life form on the surface, do not fight, collect enough specimens and withdraw first Come!"

  As the commander of the sixth secret service team, the team leader's attention is basically focused on the students of the ultimate martial arts school.

  After all, the senior agents in the secret service team are basically sixth-level warriors. Whether it is adaptability, strength, or experience in facing danger, they are much better than this group of students who have no hair.

  He only needs to issue orders, and then give some instructions on key nodes is enough.

  …

  Hearing the action order, Manda Guo, the leader of the exploration team, said: "Everyone in the collection team will act immediately, and the logistics team will also help. The combat team will follow me, and we will stop this group of energy life forms on the way!"

  The Diyang star students who had discussed various combat plans long ago also showed their extraordinary composure, which was far different from other colleges, and began to execute orders in an orderly manner.

  Li Yueming's establishment is in the logistics team, and originally only needed to mix some resources with soy sauce.

  But now that the situation has changed, and Manda has ordered him to help collect specimens, he has no objection, and rushes directly to find a relatively remote area to assist a collection team of students to continuously tap ice cubes to collect specimens.

  Although I didn't look back to see how the scene was going.

  But Li Yueming's perception is quite keen, even if his back is turned to the battlefield, he can accurately know the situation of the battle.

  Seeing Frey, Manda, and Donald standing at the forefront of the defense group, the remaining seven sixth-level warriors were all standing not far behind them, all drawing their weapons.

  Under the huge spiral slide, groups of weird creatures like blue flames rushed up.

  After discovering that a group of students were knocking on the flammable ice hard, intending to collect resources in their territory, a group of energy life forms instantly became furious.

   This group of weird creatures floating in the air, like hot air balloons, uttered strange syllables, like an ancient language that existed in ancient times, making people feel tense unconsciously.

  A0004 The artificial intelligence roared in silence, and said with difficulty: "The energy life form is issuing a warning, ordering you to leave immediately!"

  Hearing the translation, Manda glanced back at the classmate who was still frantically collecting samples. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Translation, let us give us a little time, as long as we achieve our goal, we will leave immediately!"

  A0004 quickly expressed his meaning.

  Probable source of life obviously didn't want to follow his strategy of extending troops. After realizing that he was unwilling to leave here immediately, it immediately swelled up like a swollen smoke, and rushed towards the students blocking the way with its teeth and claws.

  Obviously, the negotiations broke down, and the life energies launched an attack on them.

Fortunately, Manda and the others did not expect to be able to negotiate successfully. After all, low-level energy life forms are not so much life, but rather a machine with a simple structure. They don't have much self-awareness at all. action.

  So the moment they rushed over, Manda drew out the weapon at his waist and roared, "Everyone, stop them!"

   Hear movement.

  The dozen or so sixth-level warriors present also rushed over in an instant, arriving in front of more than a dozen energy life forms like a bolt of lightning.

   As the strongest player on the field, Donald is more direct.

  Taking a step, he came to an energy life form in an instant, grasped and grasped the palm of his hand, and immediately grasped the energy life form closest to him in the palm of his hand.

  Ten fingers lightly apply force.

  Suddenly, the energy life form caught in his hand turned into a sticky light blue solution.

  Let alone other people, even Li Yueming felt his heart beating in this scene.

Some students even exclaimed in surprise: "This is the secret technique, the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand, which is considered top-level among the sixth-level exercises. I didn't expect Senior Donald to be able to perform it. The strength is so terrifying, and we haven't heard of the name? "

Hearing his approach and admiration, several other sixth-level martial artists around came to their senses, and someone took the topic and said, "You know what, we have a lot of hidden dragons and crouching tigers in our ultimate martial arts school, and there are even many seniors who have met the graduation requirements. Didn't leave...Donald is so low-key, it's normal that we don't know him well!"

  The energy level of the energy lifeforms in front of them is not high, and they are sure to kill them easily.

   But the power of Donald, who can easily squeeze energy creatures into a puddle of slime with a snap of his fingers, is something they can't even imagine.

  After all, compared with ordinary creatures, the existence characteristics of energy life forms are too weird. The mysterious power in their bodies is almost endless near the energy source, and they can absorb mysterious factors from the energy source at any time to transform back to the strongest state.

   Only the extremely aggressive secret technique such as the Buddha Kingdom in the palm can make it so easy.

   Seeing that Donald has established the results of the battle.

  Unwilling to be outdone, Manda also used powerful moves to deal with a flying energy life form.

  Although everyone was collecting samples, most of their attention was actually on the battlefield. After all, what happened in such a cold and deep ice cave could not be resisted by their small bodies.

  Until it was confirmed that Manda and Donald could easily deal with the energy life forms, a group of students in the collection team breathed a sigh of relief.

   As long as they can stop them, they can continue to work with confidence.

  …

  In the pothole, everything is normal except for the screaming energy life form.

  As judged by the secret service team before, this exploration mission has certain risks, but compared to other missions, it is definitely one of the easiest missions.

   As long as there are no particularly serious accidents, there will be basically no deaths.

   And the battle happening now also confirms this.

  Although I don’t know how many energy life forms are deep underground, at least the dozen or so that have come out now are still very easy to deal with.

   Only Li Yueming frowned uncertainly, feeling a little bit of danger.

  Seeing that the work in his hands stopped, the student next to him reminded: "Ah, can you **** mechanic stop delaying at such a critical moment? Hurry up and complete the task and go back!"

   ignored his complaints.

   Li Yueming frowned and tilted his head to the ground to listen to the movement.

  Because all the basic functions of his body are far superior to ordinary people, he can hear some movements that ordinary people cannot hear. Now, he can feel some strange sounds in the depths of the ice cave under his feet.

  It seems that something is howling, and it seems that someone is calling for help.

  Sometimes sharp, sometimes rough.

   Through the ice layer, it continues to spread toward the upper layer.

   I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the voice was getting closer and closer to them.

   After repeatedly confirming that he did not experience hallucinations, Li Yueming slowly got up and said: "There is something approaching down here, we must leave immediately, or find a few people to go down and have a look!"

  At this moment, a group of students were quite nervous. Hearing his sudden opening, they couldn't help but turned their heads to look at him, and asked, "What's going on? I didn't hear it!"

   Right now, the number of energy samples collected by the military committee is less than half. If they withdraw so suddenly, it means that they have not completed the set target task.

   have already taken such a big risk to come here, a group of students are obviously unwilling to return without success.

  Li Yueming also knew what they were thinking.

  So, after thinking for a while, he said decisively: "Then come a few people and follow me down to have a look. If we don't want to be caught off guard, we must take the initiative!"

  Hearing his words, a group of students present all looked at each other in blank dismay.

  If this command was announced from any one of Manda, Frey, and Donald, there must be students present to respond to the call.

  But Li Yueming, a mechanic who advocates logistics, belongs to the kind of marginal figure who has no sense of existence in the team. At this moment, by making up a groundless excuse, it is like asking them to accompany him.

  If anyone responds to this, unless they are crazy.

  Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one moved. After a while, only the students looked at the leader Manda and others.

   After all, the opponent is the leader recognized by most people in this team.

Manda had just dealt with an energy creature at the moment, after hearing Li Yueming's words, he turned his head and glanced at him coldly, and said, "I didn't hear any strange movements, since you made a serious decision, can you Pay for your actions?"

  Li Yueming opened his mouth to say something.

But before he could speak, Manda continued: "Even if you have the ability and courage to pay for your actions, your strength is not enough to convince others. So let's give up, there are more energy life forms below, It is impossible for me to agree with you to take people to risk yourself!"

   Hear Manda's rebuttal.

   Originally, Li Yueming wanted to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally didn't insist.

   After all, from the perspective of other students, Manda's judgment is not a problem.

  The reason why Li Yueming did this was because his intuition told him that it should be the case. It is obviously impossible to use this to convince other people and gain their support.

  Thinking of this, he stopped insisting, looked at Fleur who was not far away and said, "Then I will go down alone, just send me a signal before you retreat!"

  Fleur glanced at him, with some hesitation in her eyes, but she finally said firmly: "Since you insist on going down to take a look, then I will accompany you, and I will take care of you along the way!"

After finishing speaking, before Li Yueming could answer, Fleur took the initiative to report to the leader of the secret service team: "Sir, a member of the team has reported the abnormal situation to me. In order to ensure the safe completion of the mining task, we are going to go down to check the source of the abnormal situation. !"

  There was a long silence over the radio.

  The leader of the secret service team glanced at Li Yueming's false information on the table and said: "Forget it, there is no need to risk your life, everyone... withdraw first!"

Although the life detector did not show any creatures approaching, and the team leader himself did not feel that there would be a sudden danger, but this mission still puts safety first, and went back first with the idea of ​​not being afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Withdrawal will at most delay some time.

  However, just as he gave the order to let everyone retreat, Li Yueming frowned completely, and said in a solemn voice: "No need to go, it has already come up!"
