Chapter 8 Personality Charm
Passing through the atmosphere and entering U167, the spacecraft quickly accelerated into the airspace of Zone Z after a few minutes of buffering and falling.
"There are all in the group. Do the final check. Don't panic no matter what happens when you get down to the ground. Everyone is an experienced soldier. You must understand what you can and cannot do. I don’t need to repeat it. Emphasize." Jimmy glanced at Ryan and the others, then turned around and continued: "We want to collect samples of animals and plants, and we must not destroy the original ecological environment on the planet. The premise is to ensure our own safety. You know?"
"knowledge!"
Everyone answered in unison.
The spacecraft landed on an open grass field, the hatch opened, and everyone filed out, lined up in front of the spacecraft, ready to go.
The mecha team that had set off earlier has done a preliminary scan and inspection of U167, launching a number of locators floating in the air, one every kilometer, and weaving a large net on the surface of the planet. There is oxygen for people to breathe on the planet. The oxygen content is extremely high, there is no toxin, and there is no need to wear a space suit. And no radiation, harmful substances, etc. have been found for the time being, so the protective cover does not need to be worn at present.
Captain Jimmy had already divided on the spacecraft in advance. Everyone was divided into five groups and set off. Ryan and Amy said to be safe and followed their team. They went all the way to the south, and the final destination was a lake, and they arrived at the lake. Afterwards, he will turn around from another road back to the place of departure.
The team leader numbered 5 is called Derrick Hall. He has red hair and blue eyes. He is a major. He is under Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy. He is a very cheerful young man. He said when he set off, "Take care of that black hair." He’s short, I don’t want him to have any parts missing when I go back, and I don’t want his panic to cause us unnecessary trouble."
The others burst into laughter.
The blond, blue-eyed, undulating body wrapped in a combat uniform smiled and said: "Derrick, leave it to me for the little one, and make sure that there will be no mistakes when I go back."
"Harriet, don't squeeze him dry. If the little baby is lonely, come to look for brother."
"Bah." Harriet, with a hot body, directly gave the scout teammate a gun butt, "Young man, your baby is not as long as grandma's fingers, so don't worry."
"Harry has seen it?" asked the curly-faced man who was chewing on the grass stems. "Done it?"
Harriet flicked her long hair, "I have been with you rough guys for a long time. I haven't seen any birds. I know the size through my trouser sister, and I need to be stripped? Eugene, I haven't tested it yet. Put the stalk of the grass in your mouth. If you want to die sooner, I will give you a bullet."
At first, the boy with a bad mouth was embarrassed, and he shrank to the back. The soldiers in the second phase could not do the old fried dough sticks that have been in the army for a long time. Don't think they are a woman and feel bullied. Waver than men.
As for Hu Eugene, he froze in an instant. The environment here is so good that it resembles the mother planet of the earth. He was a taboo when he first came.
The cheerful and straightforward Derrick is not as direct and harmless as on the surface, "As soon as Eugene's note is over, remember to write a check when you go back."
"I'm doing business, I closed my mouth and set off." Derrick waved his arm, and the smile on his face instantly retracted, as if an unsheathed steel knife rushed out, followed by the team members.
And Ryan, who was taken care of at the beginning, pulled up a camouflage mask to cover the face under his eyes, and his warm eyes were covered with vigor. Now if someone familiar with him appears, he will definitely not recognize this man with a restrained blade. It's Ryan Smith.
Nodding toward Hariya's characteristics, Ryan moved at a speed no less than that of a regular fighter.
Harriet raised her eyebrows, her red lips curled up and gave a low smile, the captain was really looking away.
No intelligent creatures were born on planet U167, everything remained in a state of ignorance, with endless grasslands, calm and deep lakes, dense and towering forests, boundless deserts, silver-clad ice sheets, moist and watery swamps, and vast expanses. The sea...There are also various animals and crises hidden under the boundless landscape.
This place is too much like the mother planet Earth, walking in it, Ryan felt in a daze that he was walking in the mother planet's forest.
Passing through a thousand-meter pasture, they entered the forest. The low shrubs grew hard in the sunlight of the tall trees, and the light was projected through the dense branches and leaves into thousands of light spots on the ground. On the ground, layers of fallen leaves are stacked, and the humus is very thick. There were traces of long strips of creatures walking on the ground. Derrick gestured with his fingers, "It is preliminarily determined to be a python. The head and tail are estimated to be 10 meters long and 20 cm thick. Snakes are hidden masters in the forest. Please pay attention. ."
Everyone compared gestures to express that they didn't need too much words to adjust the so-called atmosphere in this environment.
They didn't come to march in a hurry, but to collect things found along the way, including animals and plants, minerals, fungi, etc.
With live ammunition and well-equipped teams, they are not afraid to face the overlord Zerg race in the universe, and even try to talk about primitive creatures on a primitive planet. But there is nothing wrong with sailing the ship carefully and paying more attention.
"Eugene and Jiremy collect the humus, Harriet, you take that little cabbage chicken to collect the moss on the tree, Julian, Joris..." Dickery arranged the tasks one by one, even the supernumerary Ryan The personnel also have their own job. Collecting those on the tree can easily reach the moss. If there are small creatures on the moss, such as things similar to snails, they can also be brought back.
"The way you cover your face is very different from before." Harriet, who was always vigilant, watched Ryan use tweezers to take a piece of moss and put it in the sampling bag. Seeing his touch, his black hair was supple. The brown eyes in the slightly constricted eyes are gentle. He is a gentle man, and he will also be an individual's husband. "How old are you married?"
The bearded Eugene glanced at Ryan, "He is not for you."
Harriet rolled her eyes, "How do you know if you don't try."
Ryan was embarrassed. For the first time he was tried so bluntly by a sexy beauty. He stammered: "I, I'm married."
"Haha, Harry, you have no chance."
Harriet shrugged his shoulders not disappointed, "I rarely meet a man like you now, shy, gentle, gentle yet sharp, as mysterious as your black hair. I don’t think about developing a period of sweetness on the ship. Love?"
After speaking, Harriet bullied herself, her plump breasts almost touched Ryan.
Ryan staggered back two steps, he suddenly raised the grab, and made two sudden noises. The other people's eyes changed suddenly and they looked at Ryan indifferently.
Ryan looked back and took the weapon back calmly.
"God, when did it approach, we..." The frizzy, that is, the second-stage soldier, Jiremy, suddenly silenced and stopped speaking rashly. Speaking out, I'm a bit embarrassed by the regular army.
Half a meter away from Captain Derrick, a green creature resembling a mantis convulsed and fell to the ground, and died completely within a second or two. The creature's pair of sharp forelimbs could cut off a person's head with a single swipe. No one knew where it came from before being killed, except for Ryan.
Derrick looked at Ryan deeply, "Thank you."
Ryan nodded and continued his hand movement. Three pieces of moss from different tree trunks and different heights were sent to the collection box after the remarks were written. He was not complacent or smug because he killed a creature that was not found by a regular soldier, nor was he underestimated or ridiculed by others. But indignant and full of complaints, he has never been humble or overbearing, doing what he should do.
The calm back reveals the self-confidence of the strong.
The others in the team put away their contempt, and began to face the extraneous and logistical mechanic repairer. They realized that this would be a cumbersome guy but a help.
"The hand just now, he should be better than Jimmy Ray." Eugene, the captain's deputy, said in a low voice.
Derrick collected the mantis-like creatures and said, "No."
"No way, weaker than the second phase rookie?"
Derrick stood up and said, "He is no worse than you and me."
"this……"
Derrick had the pleasure of meeting his opponents, "He will be a good fighter. It would be a pity to stay in the logistics."
···
The team continued to move forward and collected samples from different locations in the forest. When they passed through the forest at noon, they encountered a stream with gurgling water and saw a few small animals drinking by the water. Some of them were half human. An animal with two wings of a butterfly has a furry body like a black ball, which is completely different from its bright blue wings.
There are also one-story herbivores with long horns, with birds on their backs.
There are beautifully colored mushrooms growing in damp areas. There are small white spots on the surface of the mushrooms, which must not be eaten.
They carry a detector with them, which can judge whether the things they have touched are poisonous. According to the preliminary judgment, no one dares to send unfamiliar food from a strange planet to their mouths without thorough testing.
After stepping out of the forest, the sun shines unreservedly, and it is not hot. It is now the spring in the Z area of U167, the season of revival of all things, and it is more convenient to witness the biodiversity.
Relying on the intuition of a chef, Ryan found some pleurotus mushrooms in the grass. He opened the soil and found some plant rhizomes. When digging, some team members accidentally damaged a nodule, revealing dense white flesh. Fresh fragrance.
There is also a shabby tree, and Ryan and Harriet are responsible for collecting its branches and leaves, digging up some rhizomes, and digging one if they see a seedling. Ryan keenly felt that there was a problem with the protrusions on the dry tree trunk. A knife cut through the surface, revealing the white and tender flesh, which immediately attracted the ants hovering at the root of the tree. This is a fruit with a lot of sugar. poison.
The taste is quite attractive, with a sweet peach aroma.
If it weren't for the soldiers, he had to abide by the military regulations. Ryan, who was irritated by the smell and saliva, would surely deliver the fruit in his mouth, and it would be delicious.
Ryan felt that he should be an interstellar explorer and discover all kinds of things that can be eaten and used.
"Haha, we really picked up the baby." Harriet laughed boldly, quickly collecting fruits and snorting the juice, the ants whose abdomen became bigger and brighter, "Before we all saw what was collected, it was useful There are not many things, so many points can’t be redeemed at all.”
Points are popular rewards in the military. Accumulated to a certain amount, they can be exchanged for real objects, even star coins. In the mission of exploring the planet, the more valuable things you find—medical, military, edible, etc.—the more points you can exchange for.
Derrick also laughed, letting go of his prejudices, seeing Ryan more and more pleasing to his eyes.
"I still have the foresight, and I chose Ryan to come over and partner with us."
Harriet dismantled the stage, "In the beginning, they said that they were a vegetable chicken."
"Haha." Derrick was not irritated. Instead, he said: "It wasn't that I didn't see clearly at first, but then my eyes were polished. If Ryan is a chicken, a group of us would be in the chicken coop."
Derrick put a smile away and looked at Ryan, "Welcome Sergeant Ryan Smith to join our team. I'm sorry for the beginning, please forgive me."
Under the leadership of the captain, the others also put down what they were holding and solemnly apologized to Ryan.
Ryan looked at everyone and said, "I accept the apology, am I already a member of the team? I'm glad to meet everyone."
"Yes, it was our brother for a long time."
To prove himself with strength, Ryan has always done a good job.
Not only the ground operations team, but also the mecha combat team are responsible for this planet exploration mission. Each area has a mecha team. Zone Z is a bit special. There are two here. One of them is the black code name zero. That is, General Dalton, the supreme commander of Xingtianjian.
Leading the way, Alston always stands at the forefront with the soldiers.
Without the knowledge of Action Team No. 5, Code Zero has already followed them all the way.
In the codename zero cockpit, behind Alston, Blair, who was wearing a white coat and reading with his legs crossed, blew a whistle. "
Allston looked at Ryan, who was surrounded by people in the distance, and said with a light smile: "I said, he is very good."
