Chapter 871: 358_1
When the agent team leader heard Li Yueming’s deep voice on the radio, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the life form detector behind him. If there was life moving underground, this special instrument should not have no reaction.
But now, there was no abnormal information on the instrument.
There were only two possibilities for this situation-the first was that Li Yueming had made a mistake in his judgment.
There were no signs of life under his feet. Everything was just Li Yueming’s paranoia.
The second possibility was that the object under his feet was not a living thing, but an object that was driven by other kinetic energy, so it could avoid detection.
Of these two possibilities, the team leader naturally leaned towards the first.
But for some reason, his keen intuition repeatedly reminded him that Li Yueming’s judgment was not wrong. Although he had not seen the full appearance of the unknown creature under his feet, it was indeed real!!
” Everyone, enter high-level alert mode immediately!” he said solemnly.” The members of the collection team, give up their work immediately. Take out your weapons and enter combat mode!””
Above I-544204, in the ice cave.
The group of students who received the order hesitated for a moment before immediately pulling out their weapons.
What they saw next was an extremely terrifying scene: A giant machine covered in grayish-brown spots appeared in front of everyone!
As it twitched and walked forward, the machine made a strange noise that sounded like garbled code.”Save me, save me…Save…I… Alright… Alright, alright…
It hurts!”
The appearance of this machine was very messy. From its appearance alone, it was different from any mecha version that the world was familiar with.
Not only was its body covered with spots that looked like pollution sources, but it also had a pair of thin, lilac wings on its back. The sides of its mechanical arms made of steel were even covered with hideous and terrifying dried muscles!
The mechanical monster had four thick legs, and its walking posture was similar to that of a human. However, whether it was in terms of the number of limbs or the shape of its appearance, this monster was obviously different from a human.
Some smart students had already activated A0004’s item scanning function, trying to use the huge database collected by A0004 to investigate the detailed information of this monster.
However, no matter how they tried, the result of A0004’s scan was always ‘matching failed, this item is not recorded in the data’!
This meant that the monster in front of them was very likely a new species that had yet to be discovered by the Alliance of Law!
When they thought of this result, everyone present, including the leader of the special agent team, could not help but gasp!
This was the early stages of the Fourth Epoch. It had been two to three epochs since the explosion of technology, and the Alliance of Order’s exploration of the entire universe was already very complete. It was rare to find a few new items throughout the year, let alone such a huge monster.
The atmosphere paused for a moment, and the leader of the special agent team suddenly shouted,””Everyone, retreat immediately!”
Upon hearing his roar, the students all woke up from their daze and hurriedly got up to retreat to the surface.
However, it was already too late.
The mechanical monster was not very fast when it did not notice anyone, but the moment it saw a human, its mechanical and stiff body suddenly trembled. A fierce light suddenly shone from it as it growled,”Unknown creature invasion detected. Combat mode is forcefully activated. Kill… Kill! Die… Die!”
A series of ear-piercing mechanical sounds made one’s eardrums feel intense pain.
The mechanical monster leaped up from below and arrived in the crowd almost instantly. It waved its huge and powerful arm fiercely, and a few students who were closer to it were sent flying by its slap. They crashed heavily on the blue ice wall and slowly slid down, immediately losing their combat ability.
Fortunately, because the protective suit had a strong buffer and was extremely resistant to blunt weapons, the mechanical monster’s powerful punch did not cause fatal injuries to the students. It only made them faint and lose their combat ability.
Despite this, the punch still shocked all the students present.
After all, they were still Level Five martial artists!
Not only was he sent flying in the blink of an eye, he did not even have the time to move his feet…
So how fast was this monster?
In the radio call, the team leader of the Special Agent Group felt a chill in his heart when he saw this situation. He gave up on the detailed command of the entire team and specially accompanied the group of students to the surface of the planet. His goal was to ensure the safety of the Ultimate Martial Arts School’s treasures as much as possible.
However, he did not expect that he would encounter such a serious situation when the mission had just begun.
He didn’t know if he should call himself lucky or unlucky.
He glanced at the screen in the s.p.a.ceship that showed the life signs of the exploration team. After confirming that the students who were sent flying had only fainted from the impact, the team leader’s tensed heart finally relaxed.
As long as his life was not in danger, it was a blessing in disguise for him.
After regaining his senses, he immediately used his rich combat experience to judge the situation at the scene and decisively ordered,”This monster’s combat strength is already close to level-7. The disorderly retreat team is likely to suffer a destructive blow…I’ll send reinforcements over immediately. Before that, all members of the Gathering Team will hide on the spot. Members of the Combat Team, think of a way to stall for ten minutes and try not to clash with it head-on!”
