Two days later, a deep pit was drilled into this small area, every three meters.

Wilbach was calm, he knew the difficulty of this task, on the other hand, he also admired this miner very much, he made so many holes and didn't gain anything, and he was still very persistent, rather than giving up this area and trying it in another place.

In fact, Chitaki doesn't have much certainty, according to Phantom, mining this thing is partly a matter of luck, of course, if you have enough time to take your time, then sooner or later you will find it in a place where you know that there are such resources.

When Chitaki is re-detected.

A voice rang out in the team's communication channel.

"Oh no, Captain, we're under attack."

Wilbach's heart sank, and he asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"We've bumped into three Type I Soldier-level Qijuzi and are currently trying to get rid of them, but we're still unsuccessful."

Wilbach was quick to give orders.

"It has a radius of five hundred kilometers and a circular trajectory to get rid of each other, and if it fails, it will converge with me."

"It's the captain."

Chitaki listened to their conductor and asked Xiang Phantom suspiciously.

"It's just that the I-level soldier-level Qijuzi why didn't they eliminate them on the spot and adopt the way to get rid of them? Is the difficulty really that hard to kill? ”

"Although Qi Juzi has tenacious vitality, it has not reached the point where it is very difficult to kill, Type I Qi Juzi, in the case of existing equipment and weapons, can completely break through the spore cloak and then kill, but it is relatively cumbersome."

Chitaki couldn't help but glance at Wilbach, and he felt that Wilbach must be hiding something.

He did not ask about Wilbach, but continued his exploration.

In the current situation, any doubts are useless, only to finish the mining as soon as possible and get out of here is the most important thing.

After giving the order, Wilbach thought for a few seconds and tried to connect with the other team.

As a result, there was no response.

No signal? Disturbed?

The Wilbach control mech raised its head and looked at the sky, a mech was suspended in the sky, and everything seemed to be normal.

"...... Verand"

Wiebach began to call his teammates.

But there was still no response, and Wilbach gave up after only a few attempts, and a very bad feeling lingered.

Wilbach turned to the two team members next to him.

"You're guarding here."

"It's the captain."

Wilbach flew towards the mech in the distant sky.

Phantom suddenly issued a warning, "Hygus particle reaction has been detected." ”

Chitaki then looked in the direction of Wilbach and could see the dazzling explosion spreading.

The two mecha guarding Chitaki also saw it, but they still couldn't help but not leave, and the discipline was not ordinarily strong.

Chitaki turns on long-range optical imaging and adjusts the angle to the direction of the explosion.

The Weibach pilot mecha kept attacking this irregularly shaped creature with a tentacle red body, and this creature should be Qijuzi.

Wilbach's attack was ferocious, and the hit rate was very high, and the Qijuzi was like a target, and his body was constantly dissolving.

Chitaki suddenly understood something, Wilbach obviously had a lot of heavy weapons on his body, but he was not using them at all, and he was still using the most basic weapons.

As for the source of the explosion just now, it was the mecha that had been reduced to pieces.

Casualties are starting to appear.

Chitaki looked at his progress, there was only a small half left, and after a day or so, this small area could be fully explored.

It's just that now Chitaki feels a little too late.

"Large-scale scanning is recommended. ”

"What's wrong?" Chitaki asked.

"It is judged that the risk continues to rise."

"Scan." Chitaki replied.

Phantom began to scan the entire area, "Unknown creatures are approaching, and no reaction of the specified energy creatures is detected. ”

"How many?"

"Displayed."

Chitaki's body couldn't help but stiffen, and his expression froze.

The scans in his eyes were full of dense red dots, but strangely, Phantom didn't give an alarm of extreme danger.

That's a lot of people, and there's no reason why you can't see it, unless it is.

Chitaki asked, "How big is the other party?" ”

"Very small, under analysis." Phantom replied.

Parasitism, it all makes sense, why is the team member named Wei Lang quietly doing something under his nose.

"It's supposed to be parasitic, how is it a threat to us?" Chitaki said.

"The danger level is low, and it is judged to be auto-immune." Illusion gives an unexpected answer.

"Are you sure?"

"The results of the analysis showed that the organism was a sporoid monosomy organism with a weak Hiygus response and the ability to lodge and combine."

Boarding Chitaki can understand, but the combination is not very clear to him at all.

"Camouflage on." Phantom continued.

The miner driven by Chitaki put on a thin layer of transparent spore coat, and when he saw it with the naked eye, there was nothing unusual.

"What will happen to them?" Chitaki asked.

Phantom replied, "50% chance of dying, 20% chance of lodging, 10% chance of escaping, and 20% of unknown factors." ”

Just as Chitaki was thinking about what to do, the detection tool was completely fixed and the data was sent back.

"Discover the Star Crystal."

Chitaki didn't know whether to be happy or have a headache.

Wilbach's voice rang out in the communication channel, "Stop probing, go." ”

"Captain? In which direction do we retreat? ”

"Space." Wilbach said without any hesitation.

Chitaki looked at the scan distribution map, and it was indeed the wisest choice to flee into space.

Chitaki hesitated, but chose to fly up with the guards.

The three mechs continued to climb in height, and everything went very smoothly, according to this trend, it is estimated that it will not be long before they can break away from this star.

At this time, the phantom voice sounded, "Spore creatures are beginning to invade. ”

Chitaki was also very surprised, he looked left and right and there was nothing unusual, even the data above the miner showed that everything was normal.

"What does an invasion look like?" Chitaki asked.

"Through breathing, contact penetration enters the body, and then absorbs nutrients to reproduce. ”

Chitaki tingled for a while when she heard this, "It feels very dangerous, why didn't you give a warning of danger?" ”

"Since the invasion of a simple single sporophyte does not have any effect, it is judged that there is no danger, and the invading spore cells will be absorbed by me." Illusion gives an explanation.

Chitaki didn't know what to say for a while, but at this time he suddenly noticed that there was no sound coming from the two mecha beside him, and it was quiet.

"They've been invaded?" Chitaki asked.

Phantom replied in the affirmative, "It's fallen." ”

Chitaki fell silent, and although she made the most correct judgments and actions, she was not able to escape in the end.

After a long time, Chitaki spoke, "Let's go back and mine the star crystal." ”

Phantom replied, "Yes." ”

Chitaki's operational mecha did not continue to rise and began to fall.
