The dense forest area in the heart of dense forest here is like a dark green ocean, and the winding paths are swallowed up by towering ancient trees.
This place is more than 30 kilometers away from the main base. After the commander-in-chief led the team to arrive, he signaled all the fighters on the scene to form a battle formation. Everyone has loaded their guns and is ready to shoot at any time.
The battle column of the Grizzly Association is marching in this mysterious and dangerous land. Their current goal is to go deep into the hinterland and carry out the eradication mission.
According to the memorandum given to them by the Red Dragon Association, the creatures in the new world are full of unknowns about the strength of humans, so they will test the combat effectiveness of humans by trying to attack humans.
If humans' fighting power is weak, then these wild beasts will frequently and fiercely attack the members of the exploration team again next time - the Red Dragon Association encountered this situation several times in the past. After figuring out the situation, the Red Dragon Association began to violently carry out large-scale concentrated elimination of these wild beasts that attacked humans, and finally established the status of humans in the hearts of these wild beasts.
This causes them to start moving away from human habitats on a large scale, or even fleeing at the sight of the threat.
The law of the jungle is universal to these beasts.
……
In the advancing column, the warriors from the Grizzly Association were wearing heavy exoskeleton armor, holding electromagnetic rifles, and their eyes were full of vigilance.
This is a completely unfamiliar world to them. Ever since the Red Dragon Association placed them on this planet using a starship, everything here has been filled with a sense of the survival of the fittest.
As if sensing the arrival of the Grizzly Bear Association, a low and ferocious roar broke the silence of the forest.
A huge jackal-like creature suddenly jumped out from the bushes, its eyes flashing with cunning and greed. The creature was much larger than an ordinary jackal, and its claws and fangs flashed coldly in the sun. It was obviously the top predator in this forest!
After the jackal came out, it stared at everyone with a fierce look for several seconds, then it growled and let out a loud howl.
"Fire!"
A burly middle-aged man in front of him waved his rifle and shouted, "Kill these damn things!"
The Grizzlies Association's fighters responded quickly and a fight broke out.
An astonishing number of jackal-like creatures rushed out from the dense forest. They launched fearless attacks on the Grizzly Association's combat team at the same time with terrifying speed and agility. The claws of these creatures were obviously much more powerful than those of the jackals on Earth, and they were enough to draw dangerous arcs in the air!
During the fierce battle, several jackal-like creatures found an opportunity to pierce a warrior's leg armor with their sharp claws, causing him serious damage.
But the warrior did not retreat. He endured the severe pain and pulled the trigger of the rifle with all his strength, successfully killing three more jackal creatures.
The battle did not last long in total. The warriors of the Grizzly Association were all equipped with top-notch weapons that were beyond their time, which ensured that they could easily defeat the group of beasts led by the huge jackal-like creature.
After the brief battle, the soldiers gathered around their injured comrade. The medic bandaged his wounds skillfully, while the people around him looked around vigilantly to prevent more dangers from arising.
The intensity of this battle was not really high. A few wild beasts that could be easily dealt with on Earth actually required the Grizzly Bear Association to send troops to wipe them out on the planet Uranus. It was embarrassing to talk about this.
However, the current situation is really frustrating for the commanders on the scene. Although the Grizzly Bear Association nominally occupies the planet called Uranus, in fact, their control over the entire planet is extremely weak. The size of Uranus is 15% larger than the Earth. It takes a lot of effort to fully explore it. At the moment, their energy cannot be dispersed at all, so there is naturally no question of exploring the planet.
The footage of a small conflict battle in the Grizzly Bear Association was also simultaneously transmitted to the Anyun Base on the Taka Continent, and even the top leaders of the Red Dragon Association saw it.
After watching the Grizzlies Association's operations, people generally had mixed opinions.
Some say it performed well, while others say it has major problems, and the debate continues.
However, from the footage they captured with the drone, everyone noticed that the team was planning to go into the dense forest, which made everyone frown.
It was not because of anything else, but because the dense forest that this group of people were about to enter was part of the "Mysterious Mountains".
The so-called mysterious mountain range is actually a mysterious and magnificent mountain range winding on the planet Uranus.
The Uranus Mountains are considered the central area of the planet and the source of many rivers. The entire mountain range is about 1450 kilometers long, with a width between 150 and 300 kilometers, and a total area of nearly million square kilometers.
The complexity of the geographical environment, the steepness of the mountains, and the variety of the terrain of this mountain range even surpass those of the Stuttgart Mountains.
When Uranus was first discovered, the Red Dragon Association simply conducted preliminary exploration on the planet and had exploration records for the area where the mysterious mountains were located. However, due to the huge size of the entire area and the dense forests below, the Red Dragon Association did not conduct too many field surveys and only recorded the climate characteristics here.
The vertical distribution of the climate on the Shemian Mountains side of Uranus is extremely obvious. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, various climate characteristics are displayed in sequence. The vegetation here also changes with the increase in altitude, from tropical rainforest to coniferous forest, and each layer has its own unique ecosystem.
In addition, the magnetic field in the Mysterious Mountains is abnormal and the climate changes extremely quickly, which makes it easy for creatures that enter to get lost. So when the Red Dragon Association first provided information to the Grizzly Bear Association, it emphasized the need to pay attention to safety in the Mysterious Mountains.
This place has also been listed as a dangerous area by the Red Dragon Association, but their size may not be able to be seen by the people of the Grizzly Bear Association, so this is not the Red Dragon Association's problem.
"They are really stubborn. They are planning to follow that area that looks like a mountain road and enter the dense forest?"
Several monitoring personnel in Anyun Base couldn't help but sigh as they watched the group of people's movements on the screen.
"These people are really stubborn. We've already said that the mysterious mountain range is a dangerous area, but they haven't deployed their manpower here yet. The entire mountain range hasn't even been developed yet, and they're going straight in..."
"Are there any of our people still on the planet Uranus?"
"There are only a few people at the main base. The rest have all been withdrawn." "Then how does Uranus contact us? Through a starship?"
"That's true... Previously, the association wanted to use the phase portal to teleport, but the phase portal requires both parties to have a complete energy supply mechanism. Obviously, Uranus does not have it, which makes the phase portal unable to be used normally."
"Then it can only be Starship. Wish them good luck."
"If there is a problem, they can only deal with it themselves. No one can help them."
The base fell silent. Everyone felt somewhat sorry for the group of Grizzly Bear Association members who had rashly entered the mysterious mountains. Although they were wearing the latest technological equipment, the place they were going to was dangerous enough.
No one can predict what will happen next.
A team from the Grizzly Association went deep into the mysterious mountains. All of their team members were wearing advanced exoskeleton armor and looked ready to face various challenges.
However, the magnetic field of the mysterious mountain is extremely strong, and even high-tech armor cannot completely resist it. The team members who had just entered the area did not feel anything. After they had walked along the path for dozens of minutes, several of them began to feel dizzy.
The navigation system of the equipment they were wearing failed, and the group soon realized with horror that they were lost in the foggy forest.
The miasma covered the original position. As the depth increased, the miasma interfered with the road that was originally clearly visible.
As the miasma spread, everyone realized that visibility was becoming increasingly low.
Two members of the team gradually distanced themselves from the team due to the influence of miasma and interference from the magnetic field. They tried to call for help through communication equipment, but the signal was like a drop in the ocean in this mountain range and there was no response.
No matter whether they walked forward or backward, they could not find the original team. It was as if a strange invisible maze was set up here, and no matter where they went, they would eventually be led back to the original place.
The team leader was the first commander-in-chief of the Uranus integrated base. When he was counting the number of people, he was horrified to realize that two people were missing. This guy realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately organized a team to search.
In order to prevent the disappearance of personnel from happening again, they put special thought into it and directly activated the detection equipment on their armor and their own senses to search for their missing teammates in this maze-like forest.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the team members became more and more anxious.
In this mysterious and dangerous mountain range, every minute and every second can mean the difference between life and death. Miasma is the biggest problem. Once these personnel remove their exoskeleton armor, they will be greeted by toxic gas that can make people unconscious within minutes.
The miasma problem was extremely serious, but the most terrifying problem was that the communication device on the exoskeleton armor could not contact the two missing team members.
The commander was extremely anxious. Just when the team members were about to give up hope, one of the soldiers walking on the right heard a faint cry for help on the communicator. He immediately stopped the search team and quickly identified the source of the sound.
Following the sound, the team finally found a missing team member - this team member was trapped at the bottom of a hidden canyon. Although the armor in his exoskeleton ensured that he was not injured, the equipment was stuck in the stone wall and could not be pulled out no matter what.
The other team member got separated from him, and even this team member didn't know where that person was.
In this case, the team members quickly launched a rescue operation to rescue the team member whose leg was stuck. They used the power of armor and teamwork, and it took them more than ten minutes to finally rescue the team member safely.
However, the whereabouts of another team member was still unknown. The commander wanted to continue searching, but because of the falling night, the Grizzlies Association team had to temporarily stop the search.
The crowd set up a temporary camp in a relatively open area, preparing to spend the cold night there.
The method of survival in the wild is very simple. For this team carrying special equipment and wearing exoskeleton armor, this is not the most worrying thing.
Someone lit a bonfire, and a group of strong men wearing exoskeleton armor gathered around it, staring at the bonfire, wondering what they were thinking. The commander's worry and fatigue were beyond words - he didn't know what was going on at the base at this moment. He and the others had been missing for several hours, and there had been no contact with the base. Logically, the base should have sent people to look for them.
"Commander, shall we continue our search tomorrow?"
A man spoke on the communicator, and the commander interrupted him without hesitation: "Don't say such things again. I don't want my people to suffer casualties because we abandoned him."
He sighed. He was indeed too arrogant. There was a reason why the Red Dragon Association listed this area as a dangerous area. It was a pity that he did not take it seriously. After dealing with the group of beasts, he suddenly wanted to come in and explore...
This is what it ended up being.
Deep in this mysterious mountain range, the Grizzlies Association's team is facing an unprecedented survival challenge - if they cannot get out of this area by tomorrow morning, they may die of old age here.
Just when everyone was feeling depressed, there was a buzzing sound in the exoskeleton armor communicators of everyone present, and then it was as if a new channel member had joined.
He adjusted his state and then said, "I am indeed surprised that you can fall into such a predicament while wearing this exoskeleton armor..."
"I have activated the flight capability of this exoskeleton armor and have contacted the members at the base. You can all fly away from this area now."
The sound seemed to be translated by AI in real time, but it sounded extremely pleasant to the people in the Grizzlies Association. Everyone at the scene suddenly stood up from where they were sitting, talking excitedly into the communicator.
The commander hurriedly asked about the missing team member. The voice in the communicator was silent for a few seconds, and then he said helplessly: "The equipment has been found, but according to the life detection device in the equipment, that guy has no signs of life."
"The device will start the automatic return program, and you will see him soon." (End of this chapter)
