Returning from the abyss

Chapter 530 Countermeasures
"Outpost 12, oh yes, we have two teams here."

Luo Xiao happily squatted on the seat, one hand stuffed a small cube wrapped in silver foil into the back of a clock-like device, and the other hand pinched the communication plug. No wonder.

One of the two officers was a little silent, and the other came up crazy occasionally, but since they saved their lives, they don't need to care about this little thing.

"What? The C-level sample we killed? Alright, what do you want to replace it with?" Luo Xiao raised his tone, picked up a round cover and buckled it on the back of the device, with a soft sound, it fit perfectly.

"Three Ds? Are you kidding me? Three Ds for a C? How do you think we killed that worm? Say it with your mouth?" Luo Xiao's tone gradually became more dangerous, and everyone walked away silently. A little bit, except for Xuan Zitong who was quietly designing the model next to her.

"Wear Beiluo's order... Hahaha! If he really had an order, then you don't need to accept my exchange proposal in the first place! Who would not be able to pretend to be a tiger? Disobedience? You are a number 2. I really think that the number is small. Are you a superior? And we have two teams here, you can still reach out to the Space Defense? Do you want me to make a report? I am best at cutting first and then playing!"

After finishing speaking, Luo Xiao pinched the thread and sneered.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Zitong didn't look up, but just asked.

"That idiot You Shiwei wants to obtain our C-level biological specimens through negotiation. Either he got to this position on the right path or he likes to dream."

"After all, 002 has some skills."

"Having ability does not mean that everyone has to support him! There are more capable people, and I will give them face?" Luo Xiao jumped off the chair, walked over to Xuan Zitong, and switched to a private insider , "Xuan Zhong, do we want to play a big one?"

"……speak."

"I can see what you're designing, and we don't need to hide it anymore. Let's just formally join forces. If the investigation doesn't find anything that blows up the planet, it's also an option."

Xuan Zitong glanced at her.

"I came here with a purpose."

"Enemy? That's even better, isn't it even better that that person takes the planet with him to outer space? Don't deny it, I've seen that look in your eyes a lot—it's just that anyone who dares to look at me like that will turn into a block in the end." gone."

"Luo Xiao...you are a villain."

"I didn't deny it."

"You like to hurt others, you like to be self-willed, we are completely different."

Luo Xiao smiled, stretched out his hand and tapped Xuan Zitong's hand twice, adding two strokes to the model.

"But Xuan Zhong, you want revenge, revenge must be more vicious, otherwise you can't do it...Look at your design, [Rainbow] is indeed an amazing series, but this series is used to destroy cities and countries , not to kill the roots, you are too gentle, gentle people will be blown to death by themselves."

"You—" Xuan Zitong stared at Luo Xiao's change, his eyes froze.

"Looking at this reaction, you really understand it quite well. Listen to me, use [Paradise Lost] to completely release the lethality contained in your knowledge. This is just a scene given to us by the distribution center, isn't it?"

Xuan Zitong looked at Luo Xiao, his eyes slowly turned.

"Too gentle?"

"Gentleness wins friends, but brutally destroys enemies. There is no conflict at all." Luo Xiao whispered, "If you are worried about your friends, then go to them and inform them first, but for killing people, you must put all your strength into it. Don't worry about it." any concerns."

"Don't worry?"

Xuan Zitong's hand paused for a long time, but still did not erase the lines drawn by Luo Xiao.

Lu Ning looked at the blue bird in front of her. The bayonet and her conversation were effective. At least for now, it seemed that she was much calmer than before.

"Number NE-018, Scout Blue Bird, reporting to you."

The scout gave a military salute to Lu Ning, and Lu Ning returned the salute, asking everyone to sit down and ask about the bayonet first.

"How are you two talking?"

"Jade Bird has already understood our current situation. She knows that with our current strength, we can't deal with B-level Eudemons." Bayonet said, "So, Blue Bird offered to help us, as long as we can use her."

"It seems that I don't need to waste my words." Lu Ning was very satisfied, and then turned to the blue bird, "I believe you already have an understanding of the situation of our outpost, but we still need to make some evaluations on the expertise of the two of you. After all, the two belong to the combat profession."

Kong Gu said next to him: "Although we are combat professionals, we also understand basic equipment and communications. You can leave the rest assured to us, sir."

"Then I'll just say it straight, I need an observer and a transporter. This is our current job requirement, and the other two with full-time skills will naturally have other things to do, it's just you..."

"These two positions... don't seem to be that important." Jade Bird hesitated, "Can I ask about the specific content?"

"Smart question, the name does not represent the content of the job. The observer is responsible for using the observation tools we provide to observe, record and mark some special targets, and the scope is tentatively set on this continent where we are. This The matter is about to start after the launch of Longmai's satellite, that is, one day later. It needs to be reminded that because the target may not exist regularly, the observers have almost no rest time until other people have free hands to change shifts. As for the transport staff, it is simple One point. We found a base station. Before I left, I adjusted the output of the two production lines. I needed a person to transport supplies to and from the outpost to replenish the needs of the outpost. After all, the two B-levels are nearby, and we need to replenish them in a short period of time. Combat power, if the quality is not enough, the quantity will make up."

Kong Gu nodded and looked at Jade Bird: "It sounds like the transporter is more relaxed, it's not as good as you, Jade Bird..."

"I want to be an observer." Blue Bird interrupted Kong Gu, "I can hear that the observer has come into contact with some secrets, which means that you have a killer move in your hand, that's good. I want to know, I want to understand, I hope that I can personally participate in the action of beheading those two B-level phantom beasts, rather than simple infrastructure work."

"As I said, these two positions are very important, and there is no advantage or disadvantage." Lu Ning said.

"Yes, but it doesn't mean the same thing to me, please give me the task of observer, sir."

Lu Ning looked at her slightly red eye circles, then at Kong Gu who nodded helplessly, and agreed to the request.

Of course, the task arrangement still requires them to be familiar with the process. The persuasion of Acupuncture and Lei Wang is easier. The two are already a little war-weary. They agreed immediately when they heard that they don’t need to face the battlefield. The rest is some psychological counseling work. Both silk and iron eyebrows can do the job.

After arranging everything, Lu Ning returned to the central control room with the bayonet.

"Qiu Shu, how is the preparation of the drone? I acquiesced in your behavior of delimiting two production lines without permission."

"To complement the combat power, the fact that drones are not useful in space battles does not mean that they cannot be used in ground battles, and the captain, you have issued such an order, isn't it clear that I want to use them?"

"I don't know you well, and I don't know how good your drone is. I would think it's normal if you're an army, but you're a navy." Lu Ning returned to her seat and turned on her personal screen.

Qiu Shu laughed: "Don't say such hurtful words, we are comrades-in-arms after fighting together, captain. I'm ready, the little guys will fly to that mountain in less than 10 minutes."

"Ah? What's the arrangement again?" The bayonet was a little confused.

Lu Ning and Qiu Shu laughed together, bayonet felt that there was something she didn't understand.

"I don't blame you, I'll ask Iron Eyebrow or Spade to give you some ammunition supplements. If you only know about firearms, your knowledge is still too narrow." Lu Ning waved her hand, "I asked Yang Hao to prepare the potion and recorder The ammunition prepared are all mounted weapons, in simple terms, they are specially used for drones."

"Oh... so the captain and deputy team are actually ready to do it?" Bayonet suddenly.

"On the side of the couch, how can we allow others to sleep soundly." Qiu Shu dropped a book bag, "They are all so close to us, even if we can't beat them with force, we have to find a way to expel them."

"And the best way is to change the environment. Except for intelligent creatures, most creatures have very stubborn requirements for the living environment, especially B-level creatures, they even affect the modification of the environment to make it more comfortable. Then in turn, Let's just turn it into a completely opposite extreme environment." After Lu Ning finished speaking, she tapped the keyboard twice to enter the communication interface.

The outpost and team numbers have been released before, and now there are a few more communication requests in the channel.And the entire channel list is much richer than when there were only five teams before. It seems that many teams have found outposts and established communication networks.

But Outpost 1 is still not on the list.

Lu Ning looked at the communication requests on the list. DU-004 seemed to be the person who contacted him on the spaceship before. In addition, there were NE-002, BW-009 and AL-003. It is a relatively high number.

After a little thought, Lu Ning connected to NE-002's communication.After waiting for about 1 minute, a voice came from the opposite side.

"NE-002. Glad you got through, DU-003, you were among the first to capture the outpost."

It was a harsh female voice, without any cover-up, and her tone was very businesslike.

"NE-002, what's the matter with contacting me? I'm sorry we need to arm and update the outpost..."

"We are at the same level, I have no right to intervene in your team's tasks, and I don't need to report to me." There was a slight knocking sound from the opposite side, "I just contacted some teams with more outstanding performance, and then I was ordered to pass on information. "

"Whose information?"

"General's... oh, NE-001. Maybe we can officially meet in the near future, just understand for now. NE-001 is currently carrying out a top-secret exploration mission with several teams, but before leaving, he handed over Gave me something. My position is on the ocean, with little interference, so I can use the lunar reflection tower for planetary detection, and I still have three beacons in my hand."

"May I know who are the teams that got this task?"

"Principle of confidentiality."

Lu Ning sighed.

There seemed to be a laugh from NE-002, and then he spoke again.

"But there is nothing wrong with this question. I will try my best to ensure that the beacon exploration team is reliable."

"Okay, what's a beacon?"

"Suspected remains of an alien civilization."

The channel went quiet for about five seconds after this sentence.

There was a hint of curiosity in NE-002's voice: "I thought you would ask something, it seems that you already know something? Or have you seen it?"

"I can send you a picture, which was discovered by one of my team members by accident." Lu Ning decided to withhold some information, "I'm not surprised that there are other civilization relics here. It seems that NE-001's actions are The ruins have been excavated, but can you really be sure of the safety of this behavior?"

"Safety has never been our priority in our actions." NE-002 resumed his previous tone, "Exploring the unknown is always accompanied by unpredictable risks, and all signs indicate that the level of technology contained in these ruins is far beyond ours. The mastery is higher. If possible, I think NE-001 would rather lead people to search the past one by one, but we can't do that now."

"There is a rough block of our outpost on the map. You can assign us a beacon, but I think it will take two days at the earliest before I can organize another exploration. We found two B-level Eudemons here, very far away. Soon, I must complete the deportation first."

"Two B-rank Eudemons? Maybe I can help you..." NE-002 thought for a while, "Have you considered using a tidal tearing device or a tundra injector?"

"...I thought our primary goal was to find out why the advance team lost contact without harming the planet's ecological structure, and to judge whether this place is suitable for immigration."

"The situation is constantly changing, DU-003. When we find out that alien civilization has left traces here, the ecological environment of this planet is already a secondary consideration. Our main goal is to kill all threats In the cradle."

"Can it be done?"

"You seem to know something." The other party was very keen.

Lu Ning didn't hide it either: "I do have some conjectures that may be surprising, but I haven't got any real evidence yet, so I can't report this kind of thing."

"If you trust me, you can give me a piece of information, add your photo, and I will exchange the templates of the two environmental modification weapons for you. You can use them to expel the two B-level phantom beasts, and Not bad as a defensive measure. You're progressing beyond imagination, so I don't want you to delay too long, the beacon will be sent later, is there any problem?"

"Hmm...no big deal. By the way, let me ask one more thing. Just from your current point of view, are the people in these teams credible?"

This time NE-002 was silent for a moment.

"Of course not, although I really don't like to say it. But this time the team comes from many different identities and backgrounds, and the factions they belong to are also very complicated. Under the orders of the military, they dare not do something out of the ordinary, but who secretly do not know either."

"But you trust me."

"Ability, not character. I still don't know who you are or what you look like. I just judge based on the efficiency and results you show. You may make mistakes, but I am the one who controls the resources."
