After waiting for three days in confusion, it was finally the day of the actual test, and Li Gaoliang, who was lying on the virtual reality device with his most elite subordinates, finally figured out where the Zhiyuan Star in Lu Zhou's mouth was.

Boundless space, blue planets, and starships as far as the eye can see......

"! This is...... Queqiao? ”

"Not quite like ...... It's kind of magically made. ”

Standing in a slightly room, everyone who had already connected their consciousness to the virtual reality system all had shocked expressions on their faces.

Unlike the chaotic spaces they had experienced before, and from the feeling of peering into a strange world through the eyes of a bystander, everything here was so real, whether it was the heavy texture on the shoulders or the sonorous sound of the soles of the feet on the ground, it made people feel like they were in the middle of it.

It was as if there had been some accident in the experiment, and all of them had crossed onto the starship from the laboratory of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

Yes, this time is different.

Neither the sound nor the touch is achieved this time with the help of external devices.

It's as if it's projected directly into their brains, just like the picture presented to them......

Of course, even more striking than the background wall outside the porthole was the armor on their bodies and the rifles hanging from their chests.

These armors with a very sci-fi sense were actually presented in such a clear form in their eyes, that even though they knew very well that they were lying in a laboratory of less than 100 square meters at the moment, they still couldn't help but feel a hint of urgency in their hearts under the background of this war.

"This equipment is really heavy...... "Trying to move his bulky arms, the slightly sturdy man couldn't help frowning, "At least a hundred pounds." ”

Even in microgravity, this heaviness can still be felt.

Although this heavy weight can make people feel safe, his expression is not too relaxed.

It is quite dangerous to use unfamiliar equipment, especially when the equipment itself is still so heavy, and it may not be a live target on the battlefield.

Standing next to him, the shorter man raised his arms and looked down, and said with the same frown.

"Body armor?"

"No......" The man standing next to him, with a long-range rifle on his back, and a rather calm face, was pointing something in the air with his fingers, and said thoughtfully, "It seems to be an exoskeleton...... The tactical eyepiece is equipped with a holographic system, which contains tutorials on how to use the weapon in your hand. ”

At this moment, the hatch on the side suddenly opened.

Looking at Commander Li, who walked in from behind the door and was equally heavily armed with them, and Professor Lu, who was standing next to Commander Li, the group immediately stopped talking and stood up in unison and gave a military salute.

Li Gaoliang glanced at Lu Zhou, and when he saw Lu Zhou nodded, a subtle embarrassment appeared on his face inexplicably.

Just when these soldiers were wondering why their regimental commander showed such an expression, they saw him take a deep breath, take two steps forward, look around at them and say.

"I know you're surprised right now...... In fact, I was even more surprised than you when I saw all this. ”

"Although it is a drill, I hope you can treat it as a war, and our feet at this moment are the battlefield!"

Two sentences briefly explained the situation, Li Gaoliang glanced back at Lu Zhou again, and asked with his eyes if he could skip the nonsense and start directly.

However, his expectations were disappointed in the end.

I saw that this Academician Lu was staring at his side with interest, and his eyes full of fun seemed to urge him to continue quickly, in short, he didn't intend to let him go at all.

After hesitating for a moment, in line with the fact that obeying orders is the duty of a soldier, Li Gaoliang finally twisted his head back, with a straight face, and quickly read the lines in those settings in a stiff tone.

“…… Our allies at Reach have been attacked by hostile forces, and as defenders of the Republic, our mission is to reach the communications towers of the colonial outposts, ensure the proper functioning of ground communications facilities, and set the coordinates for air strikes for orbital weapons. ”

"The tutorial for using the equipment is in the user manual built into the exoskeleton, and the holographic control interface can be activated by pressing the button on the right side of the tactical eyepiece."

"Our ship will arrive at the drop area in 20 minutes, and now you have 10 minutes to familiarize yourself with your equipment."

I pinched my watch and looked at the time on the timer, which stopped at exactly ten minutes.

Li Gaoliang lowered his right arm, stood still looking at the people in the cabin, and shouted.

"Are you ready?"

All the warriors stood upright.

"Ready!"

Li Gaoliang waved his big hand and turned around.

"Let's go!"

Seeing the group leave the cabin, Lu Zhou turned around and came to the command center.

The people who work here are actually NPCs, and since they don't have more complex behavioral logic, when Lu Zhou came here, they didn't seem to see Lu Zhou, just doing some repetitive work according to the written "script".

For him, everything is like watching a movie.

And it's still sitting in the grand seat.

“…… It's good to watch a movie with virtual reality technology, as long as the audience's perspective is set in the right audience, it can even allow the audience to participate in the plot without interfering with the direction of the plot," looking at the soldiers who had already stepped into the airborne capsule through the holographic screen, Lu Zhou's face showed an interested look, and he said to himself, "Yes, this idea can be written down." ”

At the same time, according to the arrangement in the script, a group of people stepped into the buffer room where the airborne capsule was placed with uniform steps.

The staff ...... in the side Or under the instructions of the NPC, Li Gaoliang was a little busy connecting the life support system to the exoskeleton on his body.

To be honest, it's a pretty bad feeling.

He was an experienced fighter at all, but at this moment he felt like a recruit who had been driven to the shelves.

At this time, the voice of the command rang in my ears.

"The airdrop area is approaching and is expected to arrive in thirty seconds."

“……”

"Five."

"Four."

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

The sound of the countdown is almost over.

With a muffled click, a huge thrust came from behind everyone's backs, and gradually amplified.

"The orbit entry was successful, and the airborne program is being launched."

"Steel is our footprint!"

"Good luck, soldiers!"

"Cabin separation!"

In the face of the scorching air, the steel that emitted an overwhelmed roar was like a piece of paper swaying in the wind.

At the moment of impact into the atmosphere, a huge force suddenly came from the seat.

Li Gaoliang, who was sitting in the cabin, gritted his teeth, but the shock in his heart was gradually magnified.

It's so much of a similar feeling.

When I was in the exercise, I felt exactly the same when I flew into the surface from space in an airborne capsule......

The distance of hundreds of kilometers was crossed in an instant, and the buffer spewed out orange-red flames.

When approaching the surface a hundred meters, the smoke grenade installed under the airborne capsule was quickly ejected, and the exploded smoke screen instantly covered the battlefield.

As the airborne capsule slammed into the ground, a group of well-trained fighters quickly protruded from the hatch, set up their weapons, and turned on the infrared imager mounted on the tactical eyepiece.

However, there was a deathly silence all around, and the shadows under the vegetation blown by the air currents were not visible, and there was not a single sign of the presence of living creatures.

The rifle in his hand locked straight onto the shadows not far away, and one of the soldiers asked in a low voice in the communication channel with a slow, deep breath.

"Sir, who is our enemy? Yankee or Maozi? Dry...... What is the vegetation here, and how is it different from what I've seen? ”

His eyes were also locked on the shadows not far away, and Li Gaoliang answered this question in a deep voice while checking the map: "It is said to be aliens." ”

"Outside——? it!? ”

And there was no time left for the group to be amazed.

In the distance, a series of tooth-aching howls were heard.

The scream piercing the eardrums was so real, as if it came from the depths of the soul, and it made people's scalps tingle.

It was like blowing the horn of attack, and the dense footsteps in the distance were like running through the forest.

In an instant, scarlet bright spots filled the entire screen.

With the sound of a great earthquake, one by one sharp claws slammed into the battlefield from the edge of the smoke.

Lying behind the moving fundus, the soldier who had already set up his machine gun suddenly contracted as he stared at the optical sight.

Enemy......

It's a swarm!
