In the western region of the Merro Imperial Capital, in a continuous mountainous area, mechs fell from the sky, followed by a medium-sized frigate, three small frigates, and a large Marauder ship.

The ghost messenger who took the lead landed quietly and first, and the mecha behind rumbled to the ground, and Chromie, who took the lead, also had a black line on his face, and he was originally thinking about whether he could move a little quieter.

"Boss, where is this? How did we land in the middle of nowhere? Peake asked in confusion within the communication channel.

"Nonsense, it can't come to the Merro Imperial Capital, most of us are old generation mechas, and if we go, we will be cannon fodder, and we will be destroyed in minutes, not to mention, we still have so many individual soldiers (infantry)." Chromie said angrily.

Peake scratched his head and said, "I don't think I should make a big deal." ”

"Be careful, don't think that there is no danger here, this is one of the hidden reserve warehouses of the Merro Empire, and our mission is to plunder this place." Chromie spoke.

"Yes." Peake replied.

Milo opened his mouth and said, "After all, this is a hidden reserve material depot, and there shouldn't be many active people, so maybe the number of aliens attracted won't be too much." ”

"If only that were the case." Chromie said with a deep breath.

"Boss, Sister Milo is right, why scare yourself?" Hatu spoke.

"No one can say this kind of thing, it always feels weird, I knew that Chitaki kid was going to come over." Chromie said with some annoyance.

Milo said calmly, "What you say is not convincing at all, we need to mobilize Chitaki to loot supplies?" You should know best what he was being called up to do. ”

"Ahem, I'm just making an analogy." Chromie said helplessly.

"Everyone on board the Hiboni has their own responsibilities and cannot be evaded, no matter who they are, it is because of this faith that we have come all the way." Milo spoke.

"Yes, I see. Begin to search the area, in small teams of five people, assist each other, notify of the attack, and send flares if communication is blocked. Chromie replied.

"Yes."

Chromie drove the Ghost Messenger to the front, the entire screen constantly scanning without any reaction from the dangerous creatures.

They searched for about four hours without encountering a single xenomorph when a team member's voice rang out in the communication channel.

"Report, the entrance to the reserve has been discovered, though."

"But what's wrong?" Chromie asked.

"I see a lot of living people, is there no fall here?" The team member said uncertainly.

"You wait where you are, and we're moving closer to your coordinates now." Chromie spoke.

"Yes."

At the entrance to a large base, a group of people hobbled towards the five mechs that appeared in front of them.

"Captain, they're coming, should we warn them not to come?" One of the team members asked.

The leader also frowned, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, even if these people came over with weapons, he was not worthy of them, not to mention that these people didn't have any weapons in their hands.

"Let them come near and see what they have to say."

I didn't see many people coming over, probably about two dozen people, all with their heads down.

"Captain, why do these people feel weird?" A female member of the team said with some uneasiness.

"Just look and see what's going on." The lead captain spoke.

"What can happen, the trouble now is that this place has not fallen, we just ransack this place, it feels weird, a bit like a robber." The other man on the team said with a smile.

"What robbers are not robbers, there is no hope here, and it is a waste to keep these materials here." The leader of the team said solemnly.

By this time, those people had already walked in front of the five.

"Who are you?" The lead captain asked.

The men stood still, motionless.

"Please cooperate, raise your head and answer the question, or don't blame us for treating you as an enemy." The leader also felt that something was not right, and he couldn't help but drive the mecha to raise a large machine gun at these people.

"You don't understand what we're saying?" The female member of the team spoke.

At this time, those people slowly raised their heads, and their faces were like dead people.

"Fire." The leader of the lead shouted, but the sound of electricity came from the communication channel.

At the moment when the leader of the team opened fire, the bodies of those people exploded in an instant, and countless dense small tentacles were attached to the mecha's body.

The aliens quickly crawled around the mech, finding weak points such as joints, releasing corrosive acid, and burrowing into it.

Half an hour later, Chromie arrived here with his people, and saw the entrance to the huge reserve base in the distance, the entire base should be hidden in the mountain, and the entrance was a closed steel gate on the surface.

"Dante? In not? Chromie kept calling to the leader of the team.

It's a pity that there is no reaction in the communication channel at all, and at a glance, I don't see any mecha at all, and the gate of the base in front of me is closed, and there are no living people in sight at the gate of the base.

"What the hell?" Pique was also very puzzled, the base was found, what about the team?

Milo spoke up in the communication channel, "Look here? ”

Chromie drove the mech, and the ground was covered in minced flesh and the marks of heavy firearms.

"Dante, they're not going to kill these living people." Peake also said with a black line on his face.

Chromie drove the ghost messenger to crouch down slowly, zooming in on the screen image, looking at the pieces of minced meat, and said in a solemn voice.

"Dante, they should have a problem, you see these minced meats, they are not fresh at all, they are all white mucous membranes."

"Even if something happened? What about their mechs? Peake asked, confused.

"It may be a temporary retreat, and communications are otherwise disrupted. ”

Monica spoke at this point, "Why don't we send three teams to search for them, and we'll carry out the mission first?" ”

Chromie thought for a few seconds, and there was only this way, "Okay, leave the three teams around to search for them, and the others will follow me." ”

"Do you want to notify the frigates and plundering ships on standby?" Hatu asked.

"Let them come." Chromie suppressed the inexplicable irritability in his heart and said, if he had collided head-on with the alien, he wouldn't feel so bad.

"Yes." Hatu replied.

Milo's image pops up in front of Chromie, and she uses a private voice channel.

"Something doesn't seem right with you? What's wrong? ”
