Infinity Frontier

A single ship withstood the attack of more than a hundred ships, and when it finally escaped, it only had a few holes in it but was still able to escape safely. To be honest, this strength is definitely far superior to that of the Archangel.

No matter how strong the attacks of those ships were, or how outrageous the defense strength of the escaping warship was, Xiao Yun wanted to try them out one by one with his own weapons. If they could still perform like this, then the defense barrier of this warship could be said to be invincible.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yun saw countless golden mechanical beetles flying out of the ships in the sky. These steel bugs landed at the place where the escaping warship had just stopped and quickly burrowed into the ground, apparently searching for or checking something.

"BOSS."

"Yeah." Xiao Yun nodded and put his head back: "Don't worry, don't worry, be steady, wait until these ships leave and then we will go over to see what's going on."

Number 1 looked at Xiao Yun in surprise, but this time he had a different opinion: "Boss, I think we should let Number 1 and Number go over and take a look."

"No hurry, no hurry." Xiao Yun waved his hands and said, "When you should be calm, you are more impulsive than me. What's the point of going there now? Seeing a bunch of people being slaughtered, are you going to save them or not? And even if you go there, you can't save them. If it's just the golden beetles, it's fine. But with so many warships firing at our heads, we're all doomed."

"If each of us has a Titan, I will let you do whatever you want. Let alone a Titan, even if you have a PM, I will follow you. Who is afraid of who, right? I can even rush faster than you. But what can we do now? Just wait patiently. If we can't find anything, these ships will leave by themselves."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and No. 1 spoke up: "Listen to the boss."

Number Five was a little confused: "Boss, how do you know what's going on over there?"

"Isn't this simple?" Xiao Yun snorted, and said, "The ship that escaped just now had the opportunity to escape immediately, but they didn't. Instead, they expanded the coverage of the protective barrier. This shows that the commander of that ship wanted to protect something but was ultimately unable to do so. Expanding the protective barrier is equivalent to weakening the protective strength. No one would do this unless there were special circumstances."

"And that golden beetle is clearly a drone, a drone specifically used for killing people. Isn't that obvious? How can you not see that?"

“The boss is awesome.”

"The boss's observation skills are among the best."

"Luckily the boss is here, otherwise it would be dangerous if we just barged in."

This time all members of the Scythe Squad were present, and a group of them immediately started flattering Xiao Yun over the comms.

Knowing that a massacre might be going on not far away, no one present took any action. If one had the ability to go and help, that would be justice from heaven. But if one still rushed over when one is powerless, that would be like a stupid saint and would kill everyone.

What can he do? Even if Xiao Yun wanted to help, he could only control his temper and pretend not to see it. Besides, if there was someone over there, what did it have to do with him, Xiao Yun?

Until the sky gradually darkened, the warships in the sky also sailed away from this position as if they were leaving for some new action. Xiao Yun and his group then carefully approached the direction that had been attacked before.

This is not the city that Mei San mentioned. The location of that city is nearby and can be seen. It has indeed been destroyed by a warship.

The place that was swept by the warships like a plow is now full of potholes and is extremely damaged. It looks like there used to be some unfinished industrial facility here, but now there is basically nothing left. There are just some exposed gaps on the ground, indicating that there should be a large underground facility beneath the ground.

Xiao Yun leaned over to take a look and then jumped directly into the big hole in front of him. He was not in a hurry at all while falling. After falling for about several dozen meters, he activated the backpack thrusters and released the GN particles, and landed lightly on the ground.

After Xiao Yun landed, No. 1 and others also seemed to fall down one after another.

The scene at first glance was quite tragic. Xiao Yun didn't know what was happening down there, but right now the ground was littered with all kinds of steel and concrete slabs stacked together in all directions, with gravel falling from time to time, making a dull sound.

However, there was no one in sight, not even the large number of golden mechanical beetles that had appeared earlier.

No. 1 picked up a cloak from the ground and shook it gently: "He must have escaped before the warships officially attacked. There is a passage over there that has been blocked by fallen rubble. He may have escaped from there."

Xiao Yun looked at the passage that No. 1 mentioned was completely blocked. That passage was probably the only normal entrance and exit of this place that seemed to be a warehouse.

"We didn't find anything of value. We should leave now, Boss. This place could completely collapse at any moment."

"Let's go."

Originally, I wanted to come down and see if I could find anything valuable, but in this situation, even if there was something valuable, it would probably have been completely buried under the pile of rocks, and it would be completely not worth it to try to dig something out of this environment.

They were also very decisive when they left after entering. If the space under the ground had not been destroyed like this, it might have been a good place to stay. But now, as they were unfamiliar with the environment and had no gains, Xiao Yun and his team could only move towards the city.

"Mei San, when you came here to investigate just now, did you find anything else besides this city?"

"Without the boss, this is the only place with buildings around. It's very clear from the sky."

Xiao Yun looked up and said, "Speed ​​up, find a place to stay first and then try to collect information about this world."

"learn."

As the saying goes, a horse will die if it runs to the mountain. It really takes a lot of effort to run to the city that is so close.

A battleship stood upright in the center of the city and almost crushed all the buildings in the center. However, even though the battleship collided head-on, there was not much damage on the outside. This must have been due to its strong defense or good quality.

This was the first time Xiao Yun had seen such a scene, and he found it quite fresh.

This one is not very big, it's a quite small colonial-level living area, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. In addition to this upright battleship, there are also other traces of battles left in the city.

The once prosperous streets and alleys are now shrouded in endless ruins, and many of the tall buildings are now leaning to one side or the other. It really doesn't seem like a stable place to settle down.

However, with the but, the situation is naturally different.

Xiao Yun raised his head and looked at the upright warship. It should be no problem to find a place inside to stay temporarily, right?

But even if we don't choose the battleship, there are still some intact buildings in this colony, so it's no problem to find a place to clean up and temporarily settle down. The main thing is that people with high skills are brave, and places that may be dangerous for ordinary people are nothing to Xiao Yun and his team. The biggest problem for Xiao Yun and his team now is in other aspects.

The group entered the colonial city and quickly selected a fairly suitable place, a two-story building that was relatively well preserved. It was a bit crowded for more than a dozen people to live in, but the several buildings around it were also intact, the distance was close, the floors were low, and the surrounding vision was good. It was really a good place. It would definitely be no problem to stay and rest for a while.

After settling down temporarily, No. 1 ordered the Succubus Squad to guard Xiao Yun while he and the entire Scythe Squad hurriedly left, preparing to investigate the surrounding situation separately, especially the battleship that was still standing tall.

That battleship was probably the most valuable thing to them in this colonial city.

Although Xiao Yun did not follow the Scythe Team, he was not idle. He also needed to check the situation around the base to prevent any possible accidents. At the same time, he had to find water sources, which were more important than food.

It took a long time before the Scythe Squad came back. As soon as they got back to their base, they took off their helmets, found a place to sit down and started to rest, and they also had to eat something.

Fortunately, everyone brought a lot of things this time. Before, several people could carry a box to replenish supplies for a long time, but this time they brought more than 40 boxes. The reason for bringing so many things was to avoid having to act blindly due to lack of supplies.

No. 1 was eating emergency food while telling Xiao Yun about their investigation.

"We investigated many places separately and found that the city's energy supply system is still running at a very low efficiency. The water supply is the same, and it seems that someone has been maintaining those facilities all the time."

This is normal. You can tell at a glance that this colony must have had a lot of people living there in the past. After it was abandoned due to the war, there must have been many people who did not have time to evacuate and had to stay and rely on the colony for their livelihood, so it is definitely necessary to maintain energy and water sources.

It was normal that no one was found. Judging from the scene just now, anyone who was not a fool would have run away far away. Those who did not run should have hidden themselves. Those who were unlucky were probably dead.

"I've made some discoveries, too." Number Two looked up and said, "There are still many areas in the city's underground area that have been severely damaged. I also saw a lot of golden beetles and debris underground. It looks like there must have been a melee there before."

Xiao Yun asked: "Did you find anything on the battleship?"

"Some operations were carried out before the battleship was abandoned, which destroyed most of the data inside, but we still recovered some things."

After No. 1 finished speaking, he patted the helmet beside him, and the helmet immediately shot out a beam of light that spread out and projected a screen.

Number One said, "This is the last video recording of the battleship before it was abandoned."

"????"

After watching the video, Xiao Yun's face was full of question marks: "Is this a fool?"

The battleship in the video did not land in the city because it was attacked. Although it was indeed attacked by the enemy, this was not the reason why the ship was stuck in the colony. The battleship in the video was almost intact and crashed directly into the colony. It crashed into the colony by itself.

Escape from the battle in the universe and fly directly to the colony.

Xiao Yun looked at No. 1: "Is this restored?"

"Well, the computer was cleaned up very well. In addition to restoring this record, some other data was also recovered."

This kind of man-made disaster caused by stupidity should indeed have all records deleted completely.

Xiao Yun asked No. 1 to pass the rest of the information to him. There wasn't much information, but he was able to figure out what was going on here.

The records describe that Mars was attacked by the unknown civilization, the Jupiter Lizards. The Martian Defense Force fleet was already losing ground in the universe and did not even have the ability to resist.

Then it was gone.

Gone……

Of course it’s gone, it collided with a ship.

If the people on this ship, especially those on the bridge, were in Xiao Yun's hands, they would have to be sent to a military court, if they were not dead.

I even made a special trip to the warship, but didn't find anything useful. I did see a lot of corpses inside, but almost all the edible and usable things had been taken away.

It cannot be said that it is completely useless. At least it has been confirmed that the golden beetle is an alien, and he is an alien from Jupiter.

Number One asked, "Boss, we can look for the living refugees in this colony to see if we can get any intelligence."

Xiao Yun nodded gently: "Well, let's see if we can find someone alive to ask something. Let's take a rest today."

No. 1 nodded.

The first day in this world ended so dull yet unusually. After arranging the people on night duty, the others began to rest with peace of mind.

According to No. 1's investigation, there are still many active or silent golden beetles in the entire colony. Although they do not pose any threat, they still need to be extremely vigilant against these things.

Everyone is familiar with the operating mode of this type of drone. Once one discovers a target, countless more will soon follow. At the same time, the people controlling these drones behind the scenes will also discover them. If the situation with countless warships before appears again, it will be very troublesome for Xiao Yun and his team.

Everyone didn't even take off their combat uniforms, at most they just took off their helmets. The night passed peacefully. The next day, everyone woke up, had breakfast, and started to pack up. Although this temporary place to stay was okay, Xiao Yun still planned to find another place to stay.

A more suitable place to spread out, with water and electricity, and not so easily discovered by the Jupiter Lizard's drones.

And nearby, about a few dozen kilometers away from where Xiao Yun and his team are now, is their destination. (End of this chapter)
