[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

Night fell quietly.

Because of the environmental variation, the stars and the moon have long been invisible in the sky of the earth. Although the light is dimmer, compared with the gray red during the day, the sky at night seems to be redder, which makes people feel hairy.

After a busy afternoon, the members of Dawn Squad built a sturdy temporary camp with felled giant trees as walls. Fortunately, the necessities for personal survival in the wild are something that every mecha master must carry with him, except that the mecha was seriously damaged during the landing. Yes, a few more tents were given to the researchers, and the team members used the tents in twos and threes, finally allowing everyone to settle down.

The team members who went out to patrol did not dare to bring back those unknown wild fruits, but they did not see any traces of animals after walking a long distance, so they had to bring back clean water. After a few simple tests by a few researchers, they could drink, so they boiled the water, and it was Dinner was settled with compressed biscuits.

After being ambushed and drifting in the universe for a long time, nervous and tired, everyone except the team members who stood guard quickly fell asleep.

Zhou Yuze walked out of the tent, grabbed the vines, climbed up a big tree neatly, and sat on a branch more than ten meters high.

The forest in the distance can't be seen at a glance, and it is unknown how many murderous intentions are hidden.

Zhou Yuze has never been to the earth in person, but he has read a lot of books, and also dabbled in some ancient earth materials. He knows that their current location is close to the equator. It was originally an uninhabited virgin forest. It has grown into such a tall appearance.But the fact that he couldn't see a single animal for miles around made him a little uneasy.

The woods seem peaceful, but there must be great danger in it!

"Captain, let me find it easier." Suddenly, Feng Lang's voice came from below.

"Is there something wrong?" Zhou Yuze said calmly.

"I want to discuss the route, but I found that the captain is not in the tent." Feng Lang climbed up grabbing the vines, sat beside him, and said with a distressed and irritable expression, "Even if you don't want to sit and wait for death, it's not easy to cross half the world. Things, especially now that we don’t even have a map in our hands, we can’t see the sun, the moon and the stars, and it’s difficult to even recognize the direction in this kind of forest—Captain, your keen intuition led us to find the earth from the universe, but now we have to walk through Half the world, you can't always rely on intuition."

"It's better than staying." Zhou Yuze said calmly, "We don't have much food, so we can only move forward. I hope there will be a turning point after leaving this forest."

"Capital Star will send a rescue team, right?" Feng Lang said.

"Our situation—" Zhou Yuze frowned, and said with some uncertainty, "I just hope that the rescue team will not go to the asteroid belt."

"That's not the case. The magnetic field over there is chaotic, so there's no way to return." Feng Lang shrugged and sighed, "But the rescue team will come here as they search, and it won't be soon. We still need to save ourselves."

"While walking tomorrow, leave a mark and walk in a straight line," Zhou Yuze said.

Feng Lang smiled wryly and nodded.

If you walk in a straight line, you will be able to reach the back of the earth one day, the most stupid way...

Zhou Yuze didn't speak again, and quietly looked into the distance.

Trapped in this place and don't know when he will be able to go back, he...would he be worried?In other words, he was relieved to have one less person who came to disturb him every day.

Feng Lang looked at him, pondered for a while, and asked cautiously: "Captain, are you thinking about that bastard?"

"Ah?" Zhou Yuze was stunned for a moment, then said blankly, "What did you just say?"

Feng Lang wanted to cry... There's no need to ask, judging by his performance, he knew that his guess was right.But captain, if you think about that bastard, you won't know, maybe he is having a good time in some gentle village at this time!But don't forget that they dragged her out of the woman's bed last time!

"Go to rest and maintain your strength." Zhou Yuze reminded him seeing his fugue.

"Captain, aren't you sleeping?" Feng Lang remembered his purpose of coming here.

"Stay a little longer." Zhou Yuze said.

"Then... go back to the tent early." Feng Lang knew that since he had said so, he would not compromise, so he stopped admonishing him and slipped down the tree along the vines, preparing to check the safety of the camp again.

In the night, Zhou Yuze sighed softly, put aside his complicated thoughts, and prepared to go back to rest.After all, in this crisis-ridden place, every minute you can rest, you have to take the time to rest, maybe you won't have the chance in a while.

Standing up, he was about to go down, when suddenly, an extremely dangerous warning lighted up in his heart, and subconsciously, he leaned back and jumped directly from a tree more than ten meters high, pulling the tree vine in mid-air, slowing down After slowing down the speed of falling, he kicked on the tree trunk, turned the momentum to the side, and landed lightly.

"Enemy attack!" Almost at the same time, a sharp shout came from the camp.

When Zhou Yuze raised his head, he saw that the sky was covered with darkness, and it turned out to be a group of big birds, which looked a bit like crows, but were ten times the size of crows, with sharp beaks and claws gleaming coldly. The iron feathers make people feel chilling when they look at them.

"What kind of monster is this?" Feng Lang came to Zhou Yuze's side, astonished.

"It's not surprising that there is anything in this place." Zhou Yuze said lightly, his hands kept moving, he pulled out his pistol, and fired repeatedly, each beam of light pierced through the heart or head of a big bird.

The Dawn Squad has been through battles for a long time, even if it was a surprise attack, it didn't look flustered at all. Three or five people formed a team and fought back under the cover of tents and obstacles. The second team responsible for protecting the researchers quickly gathered and hid with a few In the gap under the tree trunk.

"Out of nowhere the hell out of nowhere!" someone yelled.

"The canopy is so dense, it's really impossible for a small team to check all of them," Feng Lang said.

"It's not aimed at us." Zhou Yuze, who had been looking at the sky, said suddenly.

Feng Lang was stunned, and suddenly realized, he shouted: "Don't take the initiative to attack, put out the bonfire, and each find cover!"

Soon, the flames were gradually extinguished, the gunshots also fell, and there was no attack. Except for a few unintentional attacks, most of the big birds skipped through the air, like a typhoon passing by, and all receded in a moment, leaving only The next place is a mess.

"It's dangerous." Feng Lang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

These birds are so powerful that even if the tents that are fixed deep are caught by their claws, they will be taken into the air. Let alone a single person, let alone such a large number, if they really keep dying, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

Those who were hiding came out from under the cover one after another and repaired the camp in an orderly manner, but they didn't dare to light the bonfire again.

"Pack up your things and set off overnight!" Zhou Yuze said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Although Feng Lang was puzzled, he was used to obeying Zhou Yuze's orders during the war, and no matter how unreasonable the order was, he would not have the slightest refutation.

Soon, the half-restored camp was re-dismantled and cleaned up. They took everything they could take with them, and each person brought an extra bottle of fresh water, so that the next camp would not have unpolluted water.

"Sigh, I never thought that the mecha would become a burden one day." A team member muttered something, and everyone immediately echoed.

There is no way, the mecha that has exhausted its energy is useless, but it cannot be discarded. A box that weighs more than a hundred catties is already a heavy burden on the back, plus other bits and pieces of luggage, if it is just a march That's all right, but once this situation encounters a sudden attack, it will be dangerous.

"What's the matter? Major Zhou, isn't it more dangerous to walk at night?" Yao Xue, the only female researcher, came over and said dissatisfied.

"It's more dangerous to stay." Zhou Yuze said plainly.

"Why?" Yao Xue refused.

"Xiao Yao, clean up quickly. Those birds are running for their lives. There are more dangerous things over there." Dr. Wang was quite sober.

Zhou Yuze glanced at him in surprise.

"Dr. Wang specializes in paleontology," Yao Xue said.

"Don't leave Bai Yuan's side." A flash of clarity flashed in Zhou Yuze's eyes, and his judgment of himself became more certain in his heart.

In less than 10 minutes, all the members of the Chenxi team were assembled. The researcher and the wounded were in the middle. Zhou Yuze led the way, Feng Lang adjourned, and the group quietly followed the direction where the big birds were flying.

The forest at night is more difficult to walk than during the day. Fortunately, mutation has the advantage of mutation. The opposite of all the huge plants is that the road is relatively flat, so you don’t have to worry about being tripped under your feet, just pay attention to the front.

There are still simple light sources, but one has just been attacked, and the other is that I don’t know how long I will stay on the earth, so I can save a little on things like energy.

Although there are no stars and moons, and it is difficult for the compass to tell the direction due to the variation of the earth's environment, it is still no problem to use it to walk along a straight line.Zhou Yuze pointed in one direction, while walking, holding a military dagger in one hand to protect himself.

Except for the flock of big birds that just flew over, they walked for more than an hour without encountering any special situations, but the surrounding air seemed more stagnant, and even the wind that occasionally blew before was gone.

Zhou Yuze separated five or six steps away from the team members behind. He walked in the front alone, seemingly casually, but in fact he counted dangers from any direction and could react at any time.

However, walking along the way, he couldn't help but fall into his own thoughts, remembering what Zuo Shaobai specially called him to the office to say before this mission...

"Major General." Zhou Yuze knocked on the door, and walked into the intelligence department's office after getting a response.

"Here we come." Zuo Shaobai put down the document in his hand.

"About the mission, does the Major General have anything to add?" Zhou Yuze asked.

"Hehe." Zuo Shaobai smiled, leaned back in the chair leisurely, and then asked an irrelevant question: "Yu Ze, do you know how you are inferior to Ye Ling?"

"I'm not strong enough." Zhou Yuze was taken aback for a moment, but replied almost without thinking.

"Wrong." Zuo Shaobai raised his eyebrows, and said with certainty, "If you now meet Ye Ling from back then, and drive a mecha to fight a fair fight, I bet you will win."

For a moment, Zhou Yuze's eyes widened, and he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

"Ye Ling is the God of War of the Federation, not just because of his personal strength." Zuo Shaobai laughed and continued, "You will win only because the premise is 'fairness', but on the battlefield, that guy Ye Ling How can I be fair to you? You can't beat him one-on-one, let alone squad-to-squad, or even command a fleet to fight."

Zhou Yuze remained silent.

"However, you were also born in this era. After all, you have never experienced a real war." Zuo Shaobai breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "What you lack compared to Ye Ling is the experience gained from the cruel battlefield, and the In such a complicated large-scale battle, you can directly point to the overall situation of the center. Your road is so smooth, basically you are performing tasks, and you hardly have the time to make decisions independently, compared to Ye Ling..."

Zhou Yuze felt that what was said later was not important anymore, but...he looked up at the darkness in the distance, and secretly made up his mind.

Lack of an overall view of independent operations...

In any case, he will definitely bring the Chenxi team and the research team back to the Capital Star safely. In that case, will he be closer to the long-awaited Senior Ye Ling?
