Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 264
At night in the rainforest continent, the bright and clear moonlight was projected through the gaps between the [-]-meter giant trees, mottled the metal deck of the Dawn Outpost.

Due to the cover of dense vegetation, the night in the rainforest is dim.

Under the majestic wind, the swaying shadows looked like shadowy and ferocious monsters, making the Dawn Colonial Army on duty terrified.

Roar!
oooo~
Squeak... Squeak...

Suddenly, the roar of a wild beast came from deep in the forest, and even the whole forest seemed to be awakened, and became noisy.

All kinds of strange calls came and went, echoing around the outpost like stereo.

The soldiers on duty on the watchtower suddenly widened their eyes, sweating profusely operating the monitoring equipment back and forth, trying to see through the thick darkness in the distance.

Suddenly, the guard on the No. 2 watchtower was terrified. He stared at the screen of the instrument for two seconds, and then rushed to the alarm button without thinking about himself.

"Enemy attack!!!"

woo~
The siren sounded crazily over outpost A13, and the high-pitched sound could even be heard in the Dawn Colony 3 kilometers away.

"What's going on! Where is the enemy?"

The phone in the watchtower rang immediately, and a man's roar came from inside.

"Captain! The detectors have discovered a large number of life signals, and they are approaching us at high speed! It is expected to arrive in... 1 minute!"

"Damn!"

Cursing came from the other end of the phone, followed by the thump of metal boots on the metal floor, beating like drums on the nervous guard's heart.

Just when the guard was about to lose his breath, the captain finally spoke again.

"Soldier, continue to monitor! Once you find the enemy's traces, immediately report to me... Forget it, hold there, I'll go up!"

Then the phone hangs up.

The guard was finally relieved to hear that the captain was coming.

John was only a corporal in the Dawn Colonial Army.

One month ago, he was just an interstellar miner trying to catch ducks on the shelves. Four months ago, he didn't even know how to use tools, and he was a corporate employee sitting in an office!

right now,

He joined the Freemasons and became an honorable Dawn Conscript, under the command of Captain Lucas "The Guard," a full-fledged Freemason.

Captain Lucas is the supreme commander of this outpost, commanding 30 conscripts like himself.

Even before he joined the Freemasonry, he was just a venue security guard...

In the Dawn Colonial Army, only Freemasons can appoint official officers.

"Secretary guard" is the title of the internal defense personnel of the Freemasonry. To John, he is already a high-ranking figure.

Although colonial officials did not say so clearly,
But John knew that the status of these "Dawn Citizens" could not be compared with that of the Freemasons.

My own class is doomed to be ruled by others.

It's just that the "stoneworkers" on my head now sound more refined than the capitalists on earth.

As for freedom, civil society, human rights and so on...

In the past, I might take to the streets to parade, but now, I have recognized the reality.

"Corporal! Report the situation!"

Suddenly, Captain Lucas' shout interrupted John's thoughts. He hurriedly turned his head and found that the captain had already climbed into the guard tower with his rifle.

"Uh, the signal stopped 500 meters away from the outpost, I think...they are gathering?"

"Soldier! When reporting the situation, you only need to explain the situation accurately and objectively! Don't add any of your personal opinions, it will affect my judgment!"

"Yes, sir!"

Captain Lucas hung the goblin rifle in his hand behind his back, and came to the equipment of the lookout booth by himself.

"Damn it, these bastards are going against the sky! There is no evidence that they have a chain of command..."

Lucas gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, he obviously thought that the herd was gathering.

however.

Roar!
There was another roar, Lucas didn't feel anything yet, but John's expression changed.

He seemed to have heard this voice before!
"Captain, there may be something wrong with the yelling just now..."

"Huh? What's the problem? What can you hear except that the voice is louder?"

Lucas replied nonchalantly.

"Uh... I think the herd is afraid of the owner of this voice..."

"Ah!"

Lucas dismissed it. He didn't believe that a small corporal could have such a keen judgment on the battlefield. To himself, the cry just now was nothing more than the roar of wild beasts in battle.

nothing special.

After another minute, Lucas grabbed the phone and started ordering.

"Class A, class B, you immediately go to the fence with your weapons, and pay attention to carrying explosive weapons that can disperse the herd!"

"Yes! We are already moving ammunition!"

Because the fence is open-air, weapons and equipment are usually stored in the warehouse to avoid being damaged by the harsh environment.

"Squad C, send someone to take the engineers to the watchtower! Keep an eye on the machine guns above. If the automatic system breaks down, you can manually operate them. When you fight later, you can't let the turret misfire!"

"Understood, I'm climbing, I'm climbing~"

"Logistics squad, get your pack walkers ready, stay with the research team, and go to Area B to stand by!"

"Okay... okay."

Lucas ordered one by one in an orderly manner.

He was of good quality, and commanded with a poised demeanor, no wonder he joined the Freemasonry.

The colonial army at this outpost only has 30 conscripts under him. In order to monitor the forest data and collect and transport samples, there are also half a logistics team and a three-member scientific research team stationed there.

There are less than 40 people in the entire outpost. Once there is a fight, they can only rely on the terrain and defensive facilities to stand by and wait for help.

Without rescue, we can only break through and evacuate.

At that time, the five packers used to transport supplies will be the guarantee for their high-speed movement in the jungle.

This kind of pack robot specially built for the rainforest area is equipped with slender quadrupeds, which can gallop smoothly in the dense forest overgrown with thorns without being knocked down. It is definitely better than the powered exoskeleton equipped by soldiers.

however,
The 5 pack walkers can only carry up to 20 people, plus the scientific team still has some samples to bring back...

The corner of Lucas's mouth raised a cold arc.

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a rhythmic tremor on the ground, and Lucas, who was on the tower, even felt the watchtower shaking violently.

"what happened!"

"Then...there are monsters over there!"

John was terrified. He hid behind the lookout window, showing a pair of panicked eyes. He held up the searchlight by the window with both hands, and the snow-white beam immediately dispelled the darkness ahead.

hiss……

Lucas gasped.

Under the pale light, a "small island" covered with green plants is walking towards the outpost step by step. Although the pace is slow but the span is large, it seems that it is less than a kilometer away from the outpost.

Wherever he passed, the herds of beasts that had gathered before made way for him to avoid being trampled to death by the giant feet.

"Little Island" let out a familiar roar.

It turned out that these monsters were not gathering, but out of fear, waiting for the giant beast to move its chopsticks first!

And the food on the table, isn't it their jungle island?
"Call for help!"
