After passing through the atmosphere and entering U167, the spacecraft quickly accelerated and entered the airspace of the Z area after a few minutes of buffering and falling.
"There are collectives, do the final inspection, and don't panic no matter what happens after you get down to the ground. We are all experienced soldiers. You must know what you can do and what you can't do. I don't need to repeat it. Emphasis." Jimmy glanced at Ryan and the others, turned around and continued: "We need to collect samples of animals and plants, and we cannot destroy the original ecological environment on the planet. The premise is to ensure our own safety. Do you understand?"
"Know!"
Everyone answered in unison.
The spaceship landed on an open grass field, the hatch opened, and everyone came out in a single file, lined up in front of the spaceship, ready to go.
The mecha team that set off earlier had already conducted a preliminary scan and inspection of U167, and launched several locators floating in the air, one every kilometer, weaving a large net on the surface of the planet. There is oxygen on the planet for people to breathe, the oxygen content is extremely high, there is no toxin, and there is no need to wear a space suit. And no radiation, substances harmful to the human body, etc. have been found for the time being, so there is no need to wear the protective cover at present.
Captain Jimmy has already made divisions on the spaceship in advance, and everyone is divided into five groups to set off. Ryan and Amy said to be safe and then followed the team to act. They are heading south all the way, and the final destination is a lake. When they arrive at the lake After that, Bo will turn around and return to the starting point to gather by another road.
The captain of the team numbered 5 is Derrick Hall, with red hair and blue eyes. He is a major, and his status is below Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy. He is a very cheerful young man. When he set off, he said: "Take care of that black-haired I don’t want him to lose some parts when he goes back, and I don’t want his panic to bring us unnecessary trouble.”
The others burst out laughing.
The blond-haired, blue-eyed beauty with undulating body wrapped in a combat uniform said with a smile, "Derrick, leave the little one to me. I promise that there will be no mistakes when I go back."
"Harriet, don't squeeze him dry. If the little baby is lonely, come and find your brother."
"Bah." Harriet, with a hot figure, directly gave the butt of the gun to the team member who was talking coquettishly, "Young man, your baby is not as long as your aunt's fingers, so don't worry."
"Harry seen it?" asked the bearded man, who was chewing on grass stalks. "Striped?"
Harriet flicked her long hair, "I've been with you bastards for a long time. I haven't seen any birds. My sister knows the size through the trousers. You still need to strip them off? Eugene, you haven't tested them yet. Put the grass stalk in your mouth, and if you die, tell me sooner, and I'll give you a bullet."
At the beginning, the young man with a cheap mouth made a face of embarrassment, and he shrank back in embarrassment. Soldiers who are only in the second rank can't handle the old fritters who have been in the army for a long time. Don't think it's easy to be bullied just by looking at a woman, and start talking nonsense. Even more sloppy than a man.
As for the bearded Eugene, he froze for a moment. The environment here is so good, it resembles the mother planet of the earth, and he made a taboo when he first came.
The cheerful and forthright Derrick is not as direct and harmless as he appears on the surface, "Once Eugene's note is over, remember to write the inspection after you go back."
"I'm doing business, keep your mouth shut and let's go." Derrick waved his arm, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he rushed out like a steel knife out of its sheath, followed by the team members.
And Ryan, who was taken care of from the beginning, pulled up his camouflage mask, covering his face below the eyes, his warm eyes covered with vigor, and now if someone familiar with him appeared, he would definitely not be able to recognize this man who is restrained like a blade It's Ryan Smith.
Nodding towards Harriet, Ryan moved at a speed not lower than that of a regular fighter.
Harriet raised her eyebrows, her red lips curled up and she gave a low laugh, the captain really misjudged her.
Planet U167 did not give birth to intelligent creatures, and everything remained in a state of ignorance. It has endless grasslands, calm and deep lakes, dense and towering forests, endless deserts, snow-covered ice sheets, wet and watery swamps, and boundless expanses. The sea... There are also various animals and dangers hidden in the boundless scenery.
This place is so similar to the home planet Earth, Ryan felt in a trance that he was walking in the forest of the home planet.
After passing through the thousand-meter grassland, they entered the forest. The low shrubs are struggling to grow in the sunlight given by the tall trees. On the ground, layers of fallen leaves are piled up, slightly undulating when stepped on, and the humus is very thick. There were traces of long creatures swimming on the ground. Derrick gestured with his fingers, "It is preliminarily determined to be a python. Its head and tail are estimated to be ten meters long and twenty centimeters thick. Snakes are masters hiding in the forest, everyone pay attention .”
Everyone gestured to show that they understood that in this environment, too many words were not needed to adjust the so-called atmosphere.
They did not come for a hasty march, but to collect what they found along the way, including flora and fauna, minerals, fungi, and so on.
A well-armed and well-equipped team is not afraid of the overlord Zerg that is rampant in the universe, let alone the primitive creatures of a primitive planet. But be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, and there is nothing wrong with paying more attention.
"Eugene, Gilremy collect humus, Harriet, you take that little chick to collect moss on trees, Julian, Jolis..." Diocletian assigned tasks one by one, even Ryan, a non-staff member, I also have my own work, collecting the moss on the trees that can be reached easily, and if there are small creatures on the moss, such as things similar to snails, I will also bring them back.
"The way you cover your face is very different from before." Harriet, who was always vigilant, watched Ryan take a piece of moss with tweezers and put it in the sampling bag. Looking at his appearance, the black hair was smooth, The brown eyes in the slightly restrained eyes are gentle, he is a gentle man, and he will also be a considerate husband. "How old are you, are you married?"
The bearded Eugene glanced at Ryan, "He's not suitable for you."
Harriet rolled her eyes, "How will you know if you don't try."
Ryan was embarrassed. It was the first time that a sexy beauty said it so bluntly. He stammered, "I, I'm married."
"Haha, Harry, you have no chance."
Harriet shrugged not disappointed, "I rarely meet a man like you now, shy, gentle, yet sharp under the gentleness, as mysterious as your black hair. Don't consider developing a sweet relationship on the ship." love?"
After finishing speaking, Harriet leaned forward, her plump breasts almost touching Ryan.
Ryan staggered back two steps, he suddenly raised the gun, made two chugs, and the eyes of the others changed suddenly, looking at Ryan indifferently.
Ryan looked back, calmly put the weapon back.
"God, when did it get close, we..." Ji Remy, the frizzy second-stage soldier, suddenly fell silent, and stopped speaking rashly. Saying it out makes the regular army lose face.
Half a meter away from Captain Derrick, a creature resembling a praying mantis convulsed and fell to the ground, completely dead within a second or two. The pair of knife-sharp forelimbs of the creature can cut off a person's head with a single swing. No one knows where it came from before it was killed, except Ryan.
Derrick looked at Ryan deeply, "Thank you."
Ryan nodded and continued with his actions. Three pieces of moss from different tree trunks and different heights were written and sent to the collection box. He was not complacent or complacent because he killed a creature that no regular soldier had found, nor was he underestimated and ridiculed by others. But indignant and full of complaints, he has always been neither humble nor overbearing, doing what he should do.
That calm back reveals the self-confidence of a strong man.
Others in the team put away their contempt and began to look squarely at this extra, logistical mechanical restorer. They realized that this guy who would be a burden would be a help instead.
"He should be better than Jimmy Ray in that move just now." Eugene, the captain's deputy, said in a low voice.
Derrick collected the praying mantis-like creatures, and said, "No."
"No way, it's weaker than the rookies of the second stage?"
Derrick stood up and said, "He's no worse than you and me."
"This… "
Derrick had the pleasure of meeting his opponent, "He will be a good fighter, it would be a pity to stay in the logistics."
···
The team continued to move forward and collected samples at different locations in the forest. At noon, they passed through the forest. During this period, they encountered a gurgling stream and saw a few small animals drinking water by the water, half the height of a person. The animal with butterfly wings has a furry body like a black ball, which is completely different from its bright blue wings.
There are also story-high, horned herbivores with small birds perched on their backs.
There are beautifully colored mushrooms growing in damp places, and there are small white spots on the surface of the mushrooms, which are definitely not edible.
They carry detectors with them, which can judge whether the things they have come into contact with are poisonous. According to the preliminary judgment, no one dares to put strange food from strange planets into their mouths without thorough testing.
After walking out of the forest, the sun shines unreservedly and is not hot. Now it is spring in the Z area of U167, the season of recovery of all things, and it is more convenient to witness the diversity of biology.
Relying on the intuition of a chef, Ryan found some single-edged mushrooms in the grass, and dug up the soil to find some plant roots. When digging, some team members accidentally damaged a root nodule, exposing the white and dense flesh. Clear fragrance.
There was also an unremarkable tree, from which Lane and Harriet collected the twigs and leaves, digging up a bit of rhizome, and digging up a sapling if they saw one. Ryan, however, keenly felt that there was something wrong with the protrusions on the dry trunk. A knife cut open the surface, exposing the white and tender flesh, which immediately attracted ants wandering around the roots of the tree. This is a kind of fruit with a lot of sugar. poison.
The taste is quite attractive, with a sweet peach flavor.
If it weren't for the military regulations, Ryan, who was so stimulated by the taste, would definitely put the pulp in his mouth. It must be delicious.
Ryan felt that he should be an interstellar explorer and discover all kinds of edible and usable things.
"Haha, we really found a treasure." Harriet laughed boldly, quickly collecting fruits and ants whose abdomen became bigger and brighter after drinking the juice, "We used to collect what we saw, and it was useful There are not many things, and you can’t redeem many points at all.”
Points are a popular reward in the military, and when accumulated to a certain amount, they can be exchanged for real objects, or even star coins. In missions to explore planets, the more valuable things you find—medical, military, edible, etc.—the more points you get converted into.
Derrick also laughed, let go of his prejudices, and saw Ryan getting more and more pleasing to the eye.
"I still have vision, and I chose Ryan to come and partner with us."
Harriet made trouble, "At the beginning, he said that he was a rookie."
"Haha." Derrick was not angry, but instead said, "I didn't see it clearly at first, but then my eyes became clearer. If Ryan was a rookie, all of us would be cooing in the chicken coop."
Derrick put away his smile and looked straight at Ryan, "Welcome Sergeant Ryan Smith to join our team, I'm sorry for what I said at the beginning, please forgive me."
Under the leadership of the captain, the others also put down their things and solemnly apologized to Ryan.
Ryan looked at the crowd and said, "I accept the apology, am I already part of the team? Nice to meet you all."
"Yes, he has been our brother for a long time."
Ryan has always done a good job of proving himself with his strength.
In charge of this mission to explore the planet is not only the ground action team, but also the mecha combat team. There is one mecha player in each area. The Z area is a bit special. There are two of them here, one of which is the code-named zero in black. That is, General Dalton, the supreme commander of the Xingtian Ship.
Leading by example, Auston always stands with the soldiers at the forefront.
Without the knowledge of Action Team 5, Code Zero had followed them all the way.
In the code-named zero cockpit, behind Auston, Blair, who was wearing a white coat and reading a book with his legs crossed, whistled, "It's amazing, you won the trust of the team members within half a day, your young man is very charismatic. "
Auston looked at Ryan surrounded by the crowd in the distance, and said with a chuckle, "As I said, he is excellent."
