Quick Wear: We are not a strategy system

The camp was quiet, and a group of aliens were seen surrounding a special two-person-high device, which was full of holes and surrounded by a circle of red mist. This was probably the device they used to extract "vitality".

All the surrounding aliens stretched out their long mouthparts and inserted them into the holes of the device.

This was the first time that Yu Yuankai saw aliens gathering to eat. Most of those who came to plunder the Earth ate directly with their mouthparts. It seemed that their technology had developed rapidly in recent years. This device greatly increased their eating speed, which was why the snow mountains melted so quickly.

Fortunately, because of this, most of the aliens were busy eating and there were almost no guards, so they easily entered the camp.

There were very few things inside, only some incomprehensible sophisticated instruments, and almost no place to hide people. The metal bottle in the middle contained the corpse of some unknown creature.

Not wanting to alert the enemy, they immediately prepared to evacuate to the next room. As soon as they opened the door, they heard some special beeping sounds - the unique sounds of aliens.

Yu Yuankai acted decisively and made a gesture to retreat. He followed behind and helped his teammates evacuate.

Silence soon returned, but his nerves were becoming increasingly tense, as there were still two team members who had not evacuated, and since the aliens made no sound he had no way of determining their location.

The screen in front of him was specially made, with a special light sensitivity for aliens. Even if they turned into mist, they would be marked with a fluorescent red. He stared at the corner intently.

When he was the only one left, he put away his laser gun and climbed out by supporting himself with one hand.

As he climbed over, a patch of red appeared on the outermost edge of his field of vision. He was sure that he had been seen.

He stuck to the outer wall, but the expected noisy sounds of pursuit never came.

The turtle in the jar that we had been waiting for for a long time did not happen. When we checked, we found that there was still a peaceful and happy eating scene inside, which was unusually tranquil.

"commander……"

A soldier wanted to ask something but was stopped by Yu Yuankai's eyes.

He made a retreat gesture, and several advance scouts retreated back to the area where the main force was.

Logically speaking, not alerting the enemy was the best outcome. Since Xunjian was not found in the camp, he should have rushed to the next camp without stopping, but there was always a faint sense of uneasiness lingering around him.

Time did not allow him to hesitate. Facing the soldiers waiting for instructions, he still made the most correct decision:

"keep going."

The semi-desertified ground is very difficult to walk on. Every step you take will stir up quicksand, and the further you walk, the more severe the desertification becomes.

No, because of those special instruments, the speed of desertification here is much faster than before. Previous experience is no longer applicable. In less than two days, this place will all turn into a desert!

So is there any need to move forward?

After only half a day, the ground they were traveling on had completely turned into a desert. It would take a lot of time just to rescue the soldiers who accidentally stepped into the quicksand. They might not make it to the next camp because the aliens would have already finished harvesting and evacuated.

"Stop, rest where you are, and wait for instructions."

"Yes!"

The soldiers never asked for reasons and only followed orders, but when they saw their executive officer rushing back alone, there were still many whispers.

"What's going on, sir?"

"Could it be that there is some hidden tunnel or something in the camp over there?"

"Why don't you let us go together? Doesn't the executive officer hate people without brains the most? Does he want to go back alone to face a group of aliens?"

"Should we follow them then?"

"Are you crazy? You will be punished by military law if you disobey orders!"

……

Yu Yuankai still felt something was not right. Logically, he should have ordered a retreat immediately, but that glance before parting always made him feel very unusual, so he came back.

Even the most rational executive is still just a young man in his twenties.

In fact, that strange alien is easy to recognize, because he is the only one not wearing the messy and eye-catching red and green floral suspenders.

He had a bold guess, but he never dared to confirm it.

The way back is always easier than the way forward, and it only took him half the time to get back to the original camp.

That strange guy was sitting at the entrance of the base.

The sitting posture is very anthropomorphic, with legs bent and hands supporting the chin. Because the "hands" are too short, the head is almost on the knees, which looks particularly funny.

His eyes were on the sides, so he didn't notice Yu Yuankai walking towards him.

The verification of many conjectures does not require explanation, you will understand it when you see it. Who else could this guy be but Xun Jian.

Because the guy who found him was Xunjian, he was not exposed.

And because Xunjian had become like this, he could not find any traces of human existence here.

Without saying anything more, he grabbed Xunjian, who had turned into an alien, and ran away at full speed.

Xunjian seemed to have not reacted yet. He subconsciously opened his mouth and took a sip, but he forgot that the alien's long mouthparts almost dragged on the ground and he took in a mouthful of sand.

The noise here was too loud and attracted the attention of aliens. This time they were really exposed.

The originally smooth and harmless wall extended countless laser cannons to sweep in the direction of the two people's escape. The dense rays formed a dragnet and attacked them from all directions.

In a hurry, Xunjian spoke in his native dialect, which was not very fluent (it was difficult for his mouth to make high-resolution sounds): "Left, three pairs, jump! Right, two supplements! Roll! Five circles!"

With their wisdom, they managed to safely avoid the laser cannon fire and ran out of range.

Before he could catch his breath, Yu Yuankai spoke slowly: "What kind of command are you giving? You can't even speak clearly?"

Xunjian: "Are you, uh, thank you?"

"Shut up! You've made yourself look like this. It's shameful."

Xun Jian stopped talking and also had no intention of leaving with Yu Yuankai.

Yu Yuankai took two steps and realized that he hadn't caught up with him, so he turned back: "Why, are you afraid to see people like this?"

The Xun alien lowered his head with a look of assent.

Yu Yuankai pulled his short limbs: "No matter what, you have to come with me."

Yu Yuankai felt a chill when he noticed the rough and strange touch that belonged to aliens. He quickly shook it off: "Hey... just go away on your own, don't force me to beat you up!"

Xunjian: Can you be more disgusted? I don't want to leave anymore.

Suddenly, his alien-like ear holes picked up the sound of the pursuers, and he immediately used his long mouthparts to pull out a bottle of toilet water from somewhere and smashed it on the spot. In an instant, the rich fragrance spread on the spot, and then, regardless of how much Yu Yuankai disliked it, he used his mouthparts to wrap Yu Yuankai up and ran away.
