"Don't open the cabin!"By the time Lin Yang and his team discovered the faces stuck to the portholes of the fourth group of warships, shouting silently at them, it was already too late.
He and Que Tian have already appeared in the middle of the two warships.
"Don't want to open the cabin?"
"What do you mean?"
Lin Yang and Que Tian both saw the face posted in front of the window at the first moment.
Their faces changed immediately.
Just now, because the warships were still some distance away from each other and the light was too dark in the unknown space, they did not notice the situation in the porthole of the fourth warship.
Now that I'm closer and see the other party's gesture, I have a bad feeling in my heart.
"Cai Fei, is there anything unusual inside the battleship?"
Lin Yang paused slightly, and immediately asked Cai Fei through the built-in communication device in the single-person combat device.
This device can achieve instant communication within a certain distance.
It is also the only device that can provide instant communication in the unknown space.
However, in an unknown space, the range of instant communication is too small, and links must be established with each other in advance, so it is generally not used.
Now that he and Que Tian are not far from the warship, they can use this thing to communicate instantly with Cai Fei and others.
"Team leader, what's unusual?" Cai Fei was still a little confused.
They had been paying attention to Lin Yang and Que Tian's actions in the warship and did not notice the situation on the fourth group of warships.
"The fourth group was warning us not to open the cabin, but it was already too late when we saw it."
Lin Yang first quickly explained the reason, and then seriously warned:
"From now on, the three of you must stay together at all times. Do not separate from each other at any time or under any circumstances. At the same time, have Suzaku conduct a self-inspection scan of the battleship to monitor for abnormalities."
"Also, you all stay in the main cabin now. No matter what happens, do not open the main cabin door again!"
Cai Fei and the other two were shocked, and then responded in succession: "Team Leader, we understand!"
"Okay, that's it for now. Pay attention to any abnormalities and keep in touch!"
After Lin Yang finished speaking, he looked at Que Tian, and they exchanged glances with each other. Then, in tacit understanding, they accelerated again and landed on the fourth battleship.
Soon, the two arrived next to the fourth battleship and moved closer to the porthole where someone was silently signaling to them.
next moment.
Lin Yang and Que Tian saw part of the situation inside the fourth group of warships through the porthole.
As they approached, the face of the person next to them showed a complicated expression, and he kept shouting at them and making some gestures.
But even so close, no sound was heard.
The only way to tell from his lip shape and hand gestures is that he wants them to run away!
"escape?"
Lin Yang and Que Tian looked at each other, and while signaling this person to connect to the communication equipment with them, they looked behind this person.
Because of the angle, Lin Yang could only vaguely see that inside the battleship cabin, it seemed that a battle had taken place, and several people were lying on the ground, and it was impossible to tell whether they were dead or alive.
Only the person standing in front of the window was in good condition.
"one two three…"
"Four, five, six..."
"Six. There are only six people in the cabin. Four of them are lying on the ground and their lives are unknown. Another one is obviously seriously injured. Only the person in front of the window seems to have only suffered minor injuries."
After a preliminary observation of the situation inside the fourth group of warships, Lin Yang's heart sank.
The fourth and fifth groups should have at least ten people, but now only six people can be seen in total, which means that at least four people may have died.
What's worse, the man in front of the window pointed to his own individual combat device, indicating that his combat suit was damaged and he could no longer establish a device link with them.
"This……"
Seeing that instant messaging was not possible and communicating through lip reading and gestures was troublesome, Lin Yang suddenly had an idea and called up a video device. He wrote a paragraph on it, asking what happened and showed it to the person.
The hatch of the fourth group's warship is now closed, and he and Que Tian cannot enter.
Unless it is confirmed that the battleship needs to be broken into.
But before that, Lin Yang asked this person first whether the cabin could be opened so that he and Que Tian could enter to provide assistance.
The man also reacted instantly, turned away from the porthole, found a device, and typed a message on it:
"Hurry up! We, the fifth group, and the sixth group have been attacked by special life forms, including a transparent life form that disguised itself as a member of the group and started hunting us. There are only six of us left now, but as you can see, four of them are on the verge of death, leaving only me and a seriously injured member of the sixth group!"
Seeing these words, Lin Yang and Que Tian were shocked at the same time!
"The sixth group is here too?"
They were both shocked.
When Suzaku could only locate the fourth group of warships, they thought that the sixth group might not have arrived in time for support.
But from this passage we can see that the three groups four, five and six had actually met a long time ago.
There were three groups with a total of fifteen people, but now there are only six left!
Moreover, four people were on the verge of death and one was seriously injured!
This is amazing!
Lin Yang just thought that there were only people from the fourth and fifth groups in the cabin!
I thought four people had been sacrificed, but in fact nine had been sacrificed!
The three groups, including fifteen elite super gene warriors, were almost wiped out.
This made Lin Yang feel a little numb.
They still underestimated the danger this time!
Then, Lin Yang immediately asked again: "How many transparent life forms are there in total? Are there any others besides these? Also, why did you remind us not to open the hatch just now? Can we open the hatch now so that we can rescue them?"
In order to save time, Lin Yang asked several questions in one breath.
The other party's answer was also very quick:
"The number is unknown. We are completely unable to distinguish between transparent life forms and cannot verify their number. In addition to transparent life forms, there is also an unknown new type of life form. They attach to the warship, making it impossible for the warship to enter the warship state. At the same time, they can isolate all communications, making it impossible for us to contact the outside world in time."
Seeing this, Lin Yang was suddenly shocked: "Your Excellency, are you saying that the reason why we can't send information to the outside world is because a new type of special life form is attached to the warship, and not because of the influence of the special force magnetic field here?"
"Yes!" the other party gave an affirmative answer.
"Oh no, our warship was unable to send information just now. Has it been possessed by a new type of unknown life form?" Lin Yang felt a chill in his heart.
"Oh, yes, that's why I reminded you not to open the cabin."
This person showed a bit of helplessness:
"That new type of unknown life form is also colorless and formless, and cannot be easily detected. They are more difficult to deal with than transparent life forms and can attach to warships silently."
"They can even attach themselves to transparent life forms, reducing the possibility of them being detected, and then quietly use all available space to enter the warship."
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yang and Que Tian with some sympathy and regret:
"Unfortunately, you failed to detect my warning in the first place. Now it's too late. The moment you opened the cabin, those damn weird things should have entered the battleship."
"..."
Lin Yang and Que Tian both felt a chill down their spines.
The new type of unknown life form is also colorless and shapeless!
It can also partner with transparent life forms to complement each other!
This……
"Sir, you have been fighting against it for so many days. Have you found a solution?"
While asking, Lin Yang also synchronized this information to Cai Fei and the others, and once again warned the three of them not to open the main cabin door again!
He and Que Tian just walked out of the main cabin before opening the outer cabin of the warship.
As long as Cai Fei and his companions did not open the main cabin door again after he and Que Tian left, they should be safe for the time being.
The man shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, we are not capable enough to come up with a targeted method. We can only use the simplest method to sprinkle dyes of various colors on the ground and walls to identify whether transparent life forms are approaching or to confirm their location during a battle."
"But this method is not safe either. The new type of colorless and formless life form does not seem to be very large and can even float in the air. This method cannot completely eliminate the new type of life form."
After seeing these words, Lin Yang couldn't help but look into the fourth cabin again. The floor and walls were indeed covered with dye.
There is also a simple device that continuously spreads dye into the air.
He didn't pay attention just now, and now he couldn't help but be silent for a while.
Judging from the looks of it, they must have spent a lot of effort to temporarily force the transparent life forms out.
"Are there transparent life forms outside your main cabin?" Lin Yang asked for confirmation.
"Yes, it's outside the door." the man replied.
"Sigh..." Lin Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Now he understood why the injured people did not go to the medical cabin for treatment.
They were forced into the main cabin and couldn't get out.
"Can the battleship's hatch be opened? Let's try a rescue." Lin Yang asked again.
The combat capability of transparent life forms is very strong, but this strength is mainly reflected in camouflage and resistance to attack.
Their main method of attack is to attack by sneaking after disguising themselves.
If they simply attack, their power is not very strong.
It's just that it's particularly durable, so it's easy to wear someone down or exhaust them.
But now, if he and Que Tian join forces and rush in head-on, and only rescue people, they can end the battle quickly.
Save the people and leave!
However, this person shook his head:
"No need. We have led their large forces into the warship and blocked it. We are now sailing towards the depths of unknown space, hoping to get them away as much as possible. If you come in, they will take the opportunity to escape."
"Besides, if you go in, they will surround you and it will be difficult for you to escape. Now while there may not be many of them outside, you still have hope of escaping, so leave quickly."
Lin Yang and Que Tian were immediately filled with awe.
"No wonder your warships have been sailing towards the depths, not choosing to actively meet us, nor to escape by warping."
Lin Yang felt an indescribable depression in his heart.
"These damn things are not very smart, and they will not take the initiative to destroy the warship. The energy reserves of the warship are enough to hold them back for hundreds of years. You should leave quickly. Your warship must have been invaded by them now, but the number should not be large. Leave quickly."
This person urged them to leave quickly:
"After we leave, ask the alliance for help and have the top brass come in to clean up the mess. The other teams don't need to come to the rescue. The more people come, the more space there is for transparent life forms to disguise themselves, and the more likely it is that something will go wrong."
"This..." Lin Yang and Que Tian looked at each other.
I came here with the purpose of rescuing people, but now I can't save a single person.
It's hard.
"Don't be sad. As a member of the Human Alliance, this is our mission. Sacrifice is the norm and dying in battle is an honor. It's a pity that we didn't find out where the Midnight Tribe is, but died at the hands of these damned life forms. We can't do more for humanity."
"May I ask your name? Is there anything else you need us to convey?" Lin Yang asked.
Since it was a temporary exploration team, they were unaware of the members of other groups.
"No, hurry up. The closer you get to the depths, the more dangers there are. They will call for new ones of their kind. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave."
This person did not say his name, nor did he ask Lin Yang to help convey any message. Instead, he typed these words and turned away.
The seriously injured team member chose to commit suicide because he could not bear the pain.
Lin Yang and Que Tian looked at each other through the window in silence.
"Team leader, let's go. We need to pass on the information here."
After a brief silence, Que Tian spoke. Lin Yang nodded slightly.
Although he felt sad, this time, he encountered new strange stone sculptures and new colorless and formless life forms. These important information needed to be passed back so that those who entered later could be better prepared and reduce sacrifices.
They saluted to the fourth group of warships as a general sign of respect and turned to leave.
However, at the moment of turning around.
A chilling chill suddenly rushed to Lin Yang and Que Tian's faces.
"There is danger, hide quickly!"
The two spoke almost at the same time, and then broke away from where they were in an instant.
puff!
As soon as the two left the place, they saw ripples in the space where they were originally located.
It was obvious that a transparent life form had launched a sneak attack!
"I didn't even notice any sign of approaching the second before the sneak attack. The concealment ability of these transparent life forms is too strong."
Lin Yang felt a chill in his heart.
No matter how much information you read, it is not as direct as personal experience.
This thing is far more terrifying than what is described in the information.
If he and Que Tian had dodged just half a second slower, they would have been seriously injured if not dead.
"It's over, you've been targeted. It's too late to escape now!"
Inside the fourth group of battleships, the man saw this and wrote down a message using a video device.
This undoubtedly left Lin Yang and Que Tian speechless again.
"Quetian, use the energy impact cannon to sweep the space around us to prevent attacks from transparent life forms. Let's go back to the Suzaku ship first."
Soon, Lin Yang made a decision.
Transparent life forms are difficult to deal with, but they are not completely impossible to deal with.
Although the energy blaster cannot hurt them, it can prevent them from getting close and launching a sneak attack.
Now the only way to consider leaving is to return to the battleship.
"Understood." Que Tian immediately took out his weapon and started firing.
Lin Yang was not idle either. He used the power of spatial characteristics to continuously shake the space around him and Que Tian, further increasing his vigilance.
However, with the sweeping and shaking, Lin Yang's face became increasingly ugly.
Because, one can clearly feel that the number of transparent life forms around is increasing.
He approached him and Que Tian step by step without fear of death.
The transparent life form in front was approaching while resisting the attack of the energy cannon.
"Team Leader, I feel like we're going to have to die here!"
Que Tian also discovered the problem and couldn't help but smile bitterly and tease it.
"You're still in the mood to joke..." Lin Yang was speechless, and then said: "Let's not talk about whether to hand it over or not, at least let Cai Fei and the others leave and pass on the information."
"That's what I thought. While we are attracting the attention of these life forms, we can give them a chance to escape." Que Tian smiled slightly.
"Then... sweep the outside of the spacecraft?"
Lin Yang spoke.
"it is good!"
The moment after Que Tian answered, the two of them accelerated towards Suzaku at the same time in tacit understanding.
"Cai Fei, Que Tian and I will help you clear the life forms attached to the Suzaku ship. Activate the jump mode, and evacuate immediately as long as you can jump!"
Lin Yang ordered.
"Team leader...if we leave, how can you leave?" Cai Fei and the other two were very anxious.
Under the current circumstances, it is too difficult to escape from these life forms without a battleship jump.
If the Suzaku warship warship jumps away, then Lin Yang and Que Tian will basically have only one ending...
"Don't worry about it. You have seen what the fourth battleship crew said just now. If the two of us enter the battleship now, neither of us will be able to escape!"
Lin Yang shouted loudly:
"There may be life forms invading the battleship, but the hatch was only opened for a moment, so there must be only a few that could get in. As long as you don't leave the main cabin, there shouldn't be much danger."
"Que Tian and I will clear the life forms attached to the outside of the battleship, so that Suzaku can enter the jump and restore the function of sending messages. You keep jumping towards the edge of the unknown space. Do not open the battleship's hatch. Wait until the high-level strongmen of the alliance take over before opening the hatch to prevent the life forms in the cabin from escaping."
"Team leader..." Cai Fei shouted anxiously and wanted to say something.
"Don't say any more, this is an order!"
Lin Yang shouted again.
At the same time, he exerted the power of space characteristics to the extreme, and coordinated with the energy impact cannon to shake the outside of the Suzaku battleship.
Especially the power engine position, as long as Suzaku can re-enter the jump state, he can escape from this area.
As the cleaning continued, Lin Yang's expression became more and more serious.
The number of these new life forms is far greater than imagined!
In just a few minutes, a large number of new life forms attached to the outside of the Suzaku battleship.
This is under the premise that the fourth group of warships has attracted and blocked a large part!
If not, I'm afraid it would have to be attached in three layers inside and outside.
"Damn, how did these life forms come into being? There are so many of them!" Que Tian couldn't help but curse.
"Cai Fei, activate the jump mode and try to jump! Quick!"
After a round of shock, Lin Yang opened his mouth with a roar.
"Team leader, we are already in the transition state, but have been terminated several times. We are still trying to transition!"
Cai Fei and the other two were now completely unable to help at all. They could only watch as the countdown for the jump started and was forced to stop. This happened several times, but they were unable to successfully jump.
"These new life forms are as disgusting as maggots attached to one's bones. When one batch is shaken off, another batch will immediately attach themselves to them without caring about their lives."
Lin Yang took a deep breath and could only increase the frequency of oscillation.
And this is very exhausting for him!
"Team leader, the countdown to the jump has begun again."
Cai Fei's voice came.
"Okay, this time we must succeed!"
Lin Yang's eyes were solemn. He simply stood in front of the power engine, shaking the surrounding space wildly.
Finally, Suzaku entered a state of complete transition.
"Team leader, we will return as soon as possible to rescue you and Que Tian after we pass the message!"
As the countdown to the jump was about to end, Cai Fei said again.
Lin Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, just about to say no.
But his expression changed again.
Suddenly, a huge stone-carved toe appeared.
"I forgot, today is another seven days."
Lin Yang was startled, but calmed down when he saw that it was a stone sculpture.
This thing can already be considered an "old friend".
"I wonder if the stone sculpture will follow the warship in the jump this time."
Seeing Suzaku entering full transition, Lin Yang stared at the stone sculpture.
Another purpose of this rescue is to verify the following mechanism of the stone sculpture.
Sudden!
Suzaku completely leapt away.
but.
No stone carving!
"Huh? He's still there."
Lin Yang was a little surprised.
The stone sculpture did not follow Suzaku's leap.
"Could it be that they will directly jump from here to Suzaku in seven days?"
Seeing the stone sculpture motionless, Lin Yang had some new ideas.
After all, this was their first time observing the stone sculptures up close outside.
I had not had the opportunity to see the state of the stone sculpture after the battleship left.
"If it stays there for seven days and then suddenly jumps to Suzaku, it will be extremely terrifying."
Lin Yang pondered.
If the stone sculpture also followed the leap every time, although it is hard to imagine, it can explain why it was not left far behind.
But if the stone sculpture remained motionless every time they met, and then suddenly appeared in front of the Suzaku battleship that had been jumping for seven consecutive days seven days later, it would be truly horrifying beyond imagination.
"Team Leader, have you noticed something..."
Que Tian suddenly spoke.
"What?" Lin Yang looked over.
"Do you feel that after this stone sculpture appeared, those life forms have moved far away and no longer attack us?" Que Tian's eyes flashed.
"Ok?"
Lin Yang was stunned and then subconsciously sensed his surroundings.
He could indeed sense that those life forms were far away and had no intention of approaching him and Que Tian.
But there was no intention of leaving.
"This... is really..." Lin Yang was a little surprised.
Immediately, he looked back at the stone sculpture, and an idea came to his mind:
"Could it be that these life forms don't dare to approach the stone sculptures?"
"Very likely!" Que Tian nodded.
"Then... let's just wait here for seven days to see if the stone sculpture will move during this period, and also verify whether the living creatures dare not approach it." Lin Yang's eyes were burning.
"Okay, there's no better choice now anyway." Que Tian said indifferently.
Now living forms are still gathering, more and more.
Even if they fight to the end, they will only end up exhausting their strength and being devoured by living beings.
Now we have stone sculptures that can intimidate those living beings, which can save a few days of energy and is naturally a good choice.
"Not only can I test the mechanism of the stone sculpture, I can also verify whether life forms are afraid of stone sculptures. I can also save my energy and live a few more days. It can be said that I kill three birds with one stone. It's worth it!"
Lin Yang smiled.
"Now, it depends on how the stone sculpture moves."
