Chapter 21 Crisis "These aliens have wings!"

The heavy rain poured down, making the loader truck make a loud noise. The glass windows were completely covered with water droplets, and all that could be seen was the endless wilderness outside.

"Our mission this time is a city abandoned by humans on the surface. It's very complex and intricate, so everyone please be careful."

"After arriving, Falcon and Gravity Body will explore the way first. If you can't defeat them, run away. If you can defeat them, collect more crystal cores."

"The city map has been sent to everyone's chips. Please be prepared."

Feng Lan's instructions continued to rattle through the headset. Xie Shuqin sat by the window, bandaging her hair and reloading her beloved machine gun before counting the bullets.

In front of him, Yao Yin held a computer, one hand busy building a new mecha model, while with the other hand, she took off her black leather gloves and used her mechanical arm to spread out various tools to improve the weapon.

The somewhat dull interior of the car was filled with the hum of machinery. Baili Yunle's voice soon came through the headset: "Still haven't contacted the base."

Feng Lan was troubled. While ground missions often resulted in disconnections from base due to limited signal coverage, a mid-air loss like this was truly rare. If he hadn't had his extensive ground experience and immediately ordered the Falcon to circle and check, they would have plummeted into the Spider Shadow's lair.

Although the danger level of "Spider Shadow" is only Level II, they are numerous and there is no need to waste too many bullets on them.

"Let's focus on the city first. The base has a commander, so nothing will go wrong."

"yes."

Thanks to the mental wave shield, Falcon had a smooth journey and soon crossed the wilderness and saw the tall buildings in the distance.

Feng Lan turned on the automatic driving, sat in the car, and watched the real-time broadcast of the Falcon with everyone.

In the picture, the appearance of the city slowly emerges, with aerial elevators and aerial rails crisscrossing each other, and the main ground highway running through the entire city, extending outward from the central area to form a distinct five-ring system.

The Falcon accelerated its flight. To the west of the main highway was a dark purple ocean. Hundreds of millions of containers and broken robots were placed on the dock. Several ships were floating slowly on the sea. They should be cargo ships that had not been opened before the alien outbreak.

The pier was washed clean by the sea water, at least compared to other places, there was no bloodstains everywhere and the organic remains of animals and plants that were not completely rotten.

"This is where the humans on the ground live. It's much bigger than the base."

"Is that the sea? The book says the sea is blue, but it seems they are lying."

"Captain, do you think there are many alien species here?"

Feng Lan watched intently. "It's hard to say. Nineteen years isn't enough for many things to completely rot. So far, the base has only discovered alien species that enjoy feeding on brains, but that doesn't mean they don't have other food sources. There's too much organic matter here, so everyone proceed with caution. Falcon and Gravity Body will investigate first, while the rest of you activate your mind wave blockers and wait."

With that, the teams quickly divided up. Feng Lan took the lead, activating the gravity body. The two-person-tall humanoid mecha cast a large shadow. Yao Yin quickly climbed out of the vehicle, releasing the inspected mechas one by one and adding a few more crystal cores to the newly added energy reserve column.

"There are many shadows in the city. If solar energy can't be replenished in time, we can kill a few more low-level alien species to replenish energy." Yao Yin took out another glove, and the mechanical arm instantly extended, and took out her improved transformation weapon. "I changed the speed, and it can achieve almost no delay. I wish you good luck."

Several people looked at her with gratitude. Before Baili Yunle's mecha was fully started, he showed his face and howled: "No wonder everyone regards mechanics as their second parents. Yao Yin, you are my real mother!"

Yao Yin sneered: "I don't have a son as old as you."

After the joke, each team quickly entered combat readiness.

"Bromine mist concentration is 176. We estimate there are about ten high-level alien species with a danger level of III. Try not to use your abilities to avoid alerting them. Prepare protective clothing to prevent damage to your mecha. Falcon, keep an eye on the ground and respond immediately to any situation."

"Don't worry, Captain. I love everyone except the little yellow-haired one." At the Falcon's flight lead, a woman wearing goggles flicked her red hair, blew out the last puff of smoke, closed the canopy, and the Falcon instantly crossed the sky, leaving two condensation trails.

After testing the mecha, Xie Shuqin looked up and asked Baili Yunle beside her, "Who is this?"

"Liao Yizhi, a new college student, has a natural talent for falconry, but not so much for gravity. She's usually very arrogant, even though I'm her senior in mecha training and I taught her how to fly a falcon. But once she surpassed me in skill, she started calling me "little yellow-haired" all the time. It's really annoying."

As he spoke, he looked up and saw the bright contrail in the sky. He said helplessly, "You are still young and full of energy. You don't even hide your flight traces. You will be honest after suffering a loss. Yang Gui is still reliable."

"Yang Guidu is an old soldier, so of course he's reliable." Xie Shuqin activated the gravity body's sliding function. "Besides, there are no flying alien species now, and the ground alien species have poor eyesight. As long as they don't use their superpowers, they may not be able to see her."

After saying that, the gravity bodies followed the Falcon onto the main road and entered the city along the main highway.

Because the buildings were too tall, they almost blocked out the sun. The ground in the city was cold and damp, and countless rotting corpses lay on the roadside.

"Captain, there are too many tracks in the air. The Falcon is flying slowly at low altitudes, and its vision is severely obstructed at high altitudes."

Feng Lan immediately spoke up: "Everyone, open the shared screen and let the AI ​​monitor in real time. The falcon will maintain a safe distance."

With the Falcon's strafing and clearing of the way reduced, many low-level alien species can be found everywhere, but these alien species have no effect on the gravity body. On the contrary, the crystal core energy in their bodies is very good. In the absence of sunlight conversion, their foreheads are full of words: "I am here to deliver energy!"

Under the guidance of the Falcon, the team quickly crossed the suburbs and arrived at the Fourth Ring Road.

There were only a few tall buildings here, and although the polluting factories scattered throughout the area had long been abandoned, the surrounding radiation levels were still far higher than in other areas. Even the alien species were stained a different color, their bodies swirling with thick liquid, and they gnawed at the remains of other alien species without paying any attention.

Xie Shuqin subconsciously covered her mouth and nose.

"It's as if the eyes of these aliens have been corroded by radiation. They can't sense us at all."

Although the alien is blind, it is said that a gravity body like this could walk right in front of it without it noticing. This alien is extremely blind.

The sight of aliens devouring each other is extremely disgusting and brutal. They often smash each other's heads first, then feed the brains and the mess on the ground into their mouths. Some aliens are not very intelligent, and if they are not paying attention, the tentacles will directly penetrate the stomach and pull out the intestines when they come out.

If they are not full at this time, they will jump onto the "food", crush it with their feet, and then lick it into their stomachs along with a mixture of mud and blood.

Feng Lan's stomach suddenly churned.

Although the team members have been greeting aliens for an average of four years, this is the first time they have "appreciated" aliens eating at such a close distance.

Feng Lan paused, shifted his gaze, and pressed the microphone. "Our goal is to find the research data on bionic humans on Earth, and to obtain as much other information as possible, including but not limited to weapons and equipment, biological research, and xenogeneic gene extraction."

"Also..." He paused, "We must also record the alien species' feedings. The recording personnel must maintain a safe distance to film and analyze them."

"It's the captain!"

The recorder, suppressing his nausea, stepped forward to record the scene. Closer inspection revealed that these living creatures had completely irradiated their eyeballs, leaving only empty holes where two black crickets could have lived. Furthermore, their bodies were covered in wounds of varying sizes, corroded beyond recognition. The two lumps of flesh protruding from their backs, in particular, looked as if they had been slashed away by some sharp weapon.

The more they looked, the more they felt something was wrong, so they moved closer. Suddenly, they were noticed by an alien species, which spitted all over the gravity body observation mirror.

The bullet fired instantly.

These alien species were already covered in wounds, and after being shot at close range, they tripped and fell to the ground in an instant.

The leader wiped a cold sweat from his forehead, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a huge piece of flesh protruding from the back of the lying alien.

Several people looked at each other, and suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.

"Captain... Captain..." He was trembling all over, his words were a little unclear, "This alien seems... seems to have wings..."

The noisy sound of cursing aliens suddenly stopped, and there was silence in the headset.

"What did you say?"

Someone asked.

The recorder trembled even more violently as he looked at the piece of flesh that was gradually unfolding and the few remaining wings on it.

"These aliens have wings! Their wings were scratched off by something, and their eyes were also lost. The eyes might have been caused by radiation, but the wings..."

"The scratches on the wings are very neat, most likely caused by a sharp weapon. And... and the wounds were inflicted no more than three months ago..."

The wounds caused by bites between different species are all bumpy, and even using tentacles with sharp spines will not produce such neat incisions!

It's a human! There are humans on the ground! In a land teeming with aliens, there are actually humans!!

Not only that, but the humans on Earth can actually use cold weapons to harm the aliens?! Even if they weren't affected by superpowers and mental waves, even if they were driving military gravity bodies, they couldn't fight those giant aliens in close combat. How strong must the physical strength of the humans on Earth be today?!

The shock had not yet subsided when a wave of vibrations rushed straight into his nerves. Almost at the moment of the vibration, the earphones emitted a noisy sound like a strong wind. The real-time picture of the Falcon rolled violently. Looking up, he saw a huge head emerging from a high-rise building not far away, probably at the location of the third ring road.

And then, two wings were raised, casting shadows that covered the sky and the sun. As the wings flapped, a strong wind blew, and the falcons that were lifted up by the wind were blown all over the place. Many of them directly crashed into high-rise buildings or aerial tracks!

There was a sudden noise in the headset.

"Gravity bodies, go and meet the Falcons immediately! All Falcons, fly low! If the fuselage is damaged, put on your protective suits immediately to prevent the intrusion of bromine mist! Quick!!"
