Chapter 3112 Weirdness in the Gray Fog
In the thick gray fog, a heavily armed soldier kicked away a piece of garbage blocking the road.
Wearing an armor that emits yellow and white light, holding a detector, he is constantly searching on the rugged ground.
The energy crystals created through disasters do not appear in the form of veins, but may condense at any location.
Either on the ground, or on the treetops, or between buildings.
Maybe at any moment, you will see a shining crystal suddenly appear in front of your eyes.
These crystals are energy crystals, strategic materials snatched by both the enemy and ourselves, and equivalent to the most precious blood in the planet.
It’s just that this kind of blood is spilled after trauma, and the amount is enough to endanger life.
With the origin of the world destroyed, there is no possibility of recovering the blood spilled unless the origin of the world can be regenerated.
“Di di di~”
As the prompt sounded, the soldier's eyes lit up and he quickly got closer to take a closer look.
Then he saw a piece of building debris appearing in front of him, covered with a layer of diamond-like crystals.
“Energy crystal!”
The soldier said softly, and quickly took out the special collection tool and collected it carefully.
Although the crystal is small in size and very finely divided, its value cannot be denied.
If you get the Battle Fortress, these diamond-like energy crystals will definitely sell for a very high price.
While the soldiers were collecting energy crystals, glowing figures passed by, all of them soldiers holding detectors.
When they take action, they try to ensure that a companion can see them, in order to avoid getting separated in the gray fog.
To ensure this, you cannot move too fast and you must always observe the position of your companions.
Even with such caution, hundreds of soldiers still disappeared one after another after the ground troops logged in.
Faced with this situation, Battlestar did not take any action and seemed to have acquiesced in this situation.
Some people suggested that the ground troops should be formed into three teams. If someone in the front team is lost, the troops following will have a chance to find the stragglers.
This method has a certain effect, but it will cause serious waste of personnel and affect the collection effect of energy crystals.
Space Fortress, who was eager to harvest, could not agree to this tactic and rejected this proposal without hesitation.
Said that at the appropriate time, we will quickly search the troops to specifically find these lost persons.
The soldiers who unfortunately got lost were completely ignored and could only hope for their own good.
This is the cruelty of war. In the face of greater interests, someone must make sacrifices.
Even the race that built the space fortress thinks that it is superior to others and despises all inferior races.
But after setting foot on the battlefield, these "noble" races also need to face the threat of death.
The soldier finished collecting the energy crystals, put them into a special container, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The total number of energy crystals they collected will be counted and corresponding rewards will be given.
The purpose of the military's doing this is to motivate soldiers participating in the war and let them actively collect energy crystals.
The reward model is very effective. Many soldiers who are resistant to war have slowly changed their attitudes.
Just because they discovered that if they continue to collect like this, they will receive very generous rewards.
Originally I only vaguely knew that war can easily bring great wealth, but now I have a real understanding of it.
Looking for his comrades in the same team, he found that they had already left. Based on time and speed, they should be about fifty meters ahead.
Any soldier who collects energy crystals will hang a thin thread on his companions to facilitate tracking and finding later.
The length of the filament is fully one kilometer, and if necessary, the length of the filament can be continued to be increased.
In an environment shrouded in gray fog, the effect of this special silk thread far exceeds that of any technological equipment.
The soldier picked up the thread and collected it as he moved forward, checking whether there were energy crystals wherever he passed.
The fluctuations of the energy crystal are very weak, and it can be easily missed if you don't observe carefully.
Even professional collectors must use the carpet search mode to ensure that they will not be missed.
Nowadays, through manual search and the influence of gray fog, the chance of omission will be greatly increased.
After walking a certain distance, the soldier noticed something was wrong.
Under normal circumstances, he should be able to feel the traction of the filament, especially when taking up the thread.
But the silk thread in his hand gave people a light and fluttery feeling, as if it had broken and fallen. "What's going on?"
The soldier was confused and had an ominous premonition.
But he could only bite the bullet and keep moving forward, because he had no choice at all.
The silk thread soon reached the end, and it turned out that the spool had fallen to the ground. No wonder it was so light that there was no feeling.
But upon closer inspection, the soldier was startled.
It turns out that this tool for retracting and unwinding silk threads has been seriously damaged, and it is still stained with fresh blood.
On a cruel battlefield, blood should be the most common thing, and every soldier should be used to it.
But this soldier is different. He is not a real soldier. He was forcibly sent to the battlefield.
He lacks sufficient military qualities and has an uncontrollable fear of bloody and cruel wars.
It was only because Battlestar repeatedly claimed that the chance of encountering war was extremely slim that the soldiers participating in the war breathed a sigh of relief.
They have also been in space, seen the surface of the planet riddled with holes, and confirmed that the number of survivors should be very few.
Many residents are dubious about the military's rhetoric, and this soldier is one of them.
Who would have expected that the reality would be so cruel, less than a day after landing on the ground, such a change would occur.
The soldier was frightened. He quickly picked up his weapon and looked around tremblingly.
He is looking for companions, a team to which he belongs.
As long as you find comrades and help each other, you will be able to survive the immediate crisis.
With this thought in mind, the soldier began to move forward slowly, guessing that his companion might be in front.
Not far away, he tripped inexplicably.
Seeing clearly what tripped him, the soldier was so frightened that his heart beat wildly. It turned out to be the body of a companion.
The corpse only had the upper body, and the abdomen below seemed to have been torn apart by wild beasts, and now it has completely disappeared.
The combat helmet has fallen off, revealing a face covered in blood, and his eyes are round with death.
If you look closely, you will find that the back of this soldier's head has been completely hollowed out.
What shocked the soldier was that his dead companion stretched out his hand and gripped his ankle tightly.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers couldn't help but feel more and more frightened. The other party was obviously dead, so how could he reach out and catch him?
Just when the soldiers were confused and frightened, the dead companion suddenly started to move.
The corpse grabbed the soldier's protective clothing with both hands, climbed up along the body, and came face to face with the soldier.
"Run, there is a ghost here!"
After shouting these words, the half-broken corpse stopped moving and became as stiff as wood.
“Ah...”
The soldier let out a scream, tried his best to overthrow the body, and got up with a look of embarrassment on his face.
He picked up the weapon on the ground and looked around in horror. Now he was at a loss.
At this moment, those words were still echoing in his ears.
"Where is the ghost? Where is the ghost?"
The soldier was so distraught that he squatted on the spot and did not dare to move, constantly praying for someone to save him.
As soon as this thought came into my mind, I saw figures suddenly appearing next to me.
"Hey..."
The soldier was overjoyed, stood up and shouted, but suddenly froze on the spot.
The smile on his face was instantly replaced by panic, and he looked ahead in disbelief.
It turns out that these soldiers are emitting a green light, which makes people feel scalp numb when they look at it.
The soldier closest to him slowly turned his head and looked at the frightened soldier.
The other party's smile was a little stiff, and his eyes were rounded, as if he would not close his eyes to death.
The soldier knew very well that he had just seen this face, which was lying quietly at his feet.
