Chapter 1460 - 1460 The second exploration team (1)
1460 The second exploration team (1)
After an intense battle, the ground was covered with broken corpses.
The surviving exploration team members were covered in wounds, and their protective suits were damaged in many places. It was no longer enough to guarantee their safety.
At this moment, everyone was huddled together, dealing with each other’s wounds, their faces full of confusion.
Everyone knew very well that this method could not guarantee absolute safety. Who knew if they had been infected by an unknown bacteria or virus?
After the creatures in the rainbow bubble were stimulated by the origin force, they had all begun to evolve rapidly, which naturally included these microorganisms.
Moreover, this evolution was still in an uncontrollable state. Perhaps a very ordinary virus could cause the indigenous people to die in batches!
Therefore, they could only do this for the sake of peace of mind. If they were really infected and died, they could only blame their own bad luck.
Looking at the desolate battlefield, the captain of the exploration team sighed to himself.
Although they had been prepared to sacrifice themselves when they entered the bubble, they still felt terrible when they saw their comrades die in front of them.
In front of them, the body of the long-horned lizard lay on the ground. Its head had been beaten into a b.l.o.o.d.y mess, and its body was full of tiny bullet holes.
A total of 12 people had died before this monster was killed, but the exploration team had also been completely crippled!
Looking at the low morale of his team members, the exploration team leader picked up his communicator and reported the situation here, requesting a temporary retreat.
Since they had already lost the possibility of continuing to explore, there was no need to stay here. Everyone had already done their best, and there was no need to lose their lives here.
The command center had seen the battle just now, and the casualties had exceeded their expectations. Therefore, after hearing the request of the exploration team leader, the commander immediately agreed to retreat.
However, the commander still issued an order, asking them to install the surveillance equipment in designated locations to facilitate the collection of more information.
He would use this place as a starting point for his next operation.
At the same time, a rescue team was also sent out. They followed the safe route that had been opened up earlier and arrived at the location of the exploration team without any danger.
Seeing the tragic state of the scene, the rescue team was silent for a few seconds before immediately taking action.
The bodies of the dead members were all collected, the injured were sent to the electric vehicle, and even the long-horned lizard that had been killed was also sealed and taken away.
On the way back, the convoy slowly advanced along the safe route. They encountered some monsters along the way, but fortunately, there was no battle.
After leaving the rainbow bubble, the patrol members were separated. The military doctor Who had been waiting for a long time immediately began the operation, but he was still one step too late.
Other than the captain of the exploration team who managed to survive after his amputation and one of his team members who were safe and sound, the other team members all died of wound infections in just two hours.
The first exploration ended just like that. Although they had made a lot of sacrifices, they had gained a lot.
After all the exploration team members had left, a spring-like transparent pa.s.sage began to be built. It extended into the inside of the bubble like a long transparent snake.
There were also metal protective walls on both sides of the pa.s.sage, with a height of five meters, and defensive machine guns and surveillance cameras were set up at a certain distance. Once a monster approached, it would be attacked immediately.
The power of the country was reflected at this moment. Even in such a dangerous environment, they still maintained super high work efficiency.
As the pa.s.sage advanced, various animal and plant samples were also captured one after another. After being safely processed, they were sent to the laboratory for research.
At the same time, the Aborigines finally reached an agreement. More than a dozen countries sent special operation teams with all kinds of equipment to gather in the no man’s land and begin to prepare for the second exploration operation.
For a time, there was a constant flow of cars near the no man’s land. From time to time, planes would land at the temporary airport, and groups of excited operation members from various countries would get off.
Even though they knew that the inside of the rainbow bubble was extremely dangerous, they were still fearless. They only wanted to enter as soon as possible.
In addition to these members from various countries, there was also a group of men and women with fierce auras. They were members of The Guardian family.
The owner of the fourth rune sign also sent a group of armored Masters. These people were like ascetics, and their words and actions were very low-key.
The reason why these two groups of forces had appeared here was because they were certain that the changes here were definitely related to the evil demons, so they wanted to take the opportunity to kill them to prevent the prophecy of the end of the world from coming true.
Another reason was that the energy in the rainbow bubble was extremely helpful to their cultivation. Some of the mutated plants inside were also valuable treasures that they could not miss.
This was the composition of the second exploration team. It was a group of elites with their own thoughts, a motley crew that had temporarily gathered together.
Of course, they did not come here rashly. Instead, they had made specific preparations based on the information they had collected during the last exploration.
This was especially so for the weapons and equipment used by the operation team. Many of them were displayed to the world for the first time, and the number of anti-material weapons far exceeded the normal firepower equipment.
The monsters in the central region were extremely fierce. Ordinary weapons could not even penetrate their scales, so anti-material weapons were essential!
But even so, it might not guarantee absolute safety.
This was because the closer the monsters were to the central area, the stronger they were, which was beyond the phenomenon of ordinary people.
In the process of monitoring, there were more than one giant monster like the Overlord Dragon, as well as a terrifying giant snake that was dozens of meters long!
There were also giant existences in the air that were comparable in size to fighter jets. Once the pilot encountered them, it was still unknown who would win.
If he wanted to destroy these monsters, he would need more powerful weapons!
As a result, some strange-looking equipment appeared in the hands of the operation team members. From the appearance, it seemed to be in the category of energy weapons, or perhaps they were used to deal with those Super Monsters.
During this period, some people suggested using missiles and cannons to attack the monsters from the outside. However, this method was soon proven to be impossible because the coordinates of this s.p.a.ce did not match with the outside world. No one knew where the test shots would hit!
Due to the excessive oxygen content in the bubble, if they wanted to attack from the inside, they would need to modify the weapon, which was far less convenient than using a portable rocket.
These were all things that had to be taken into consideration. Otherwise, the slightest negligence would lead to disastrous consequences.
Everything was under intense operation. With the cooperation of all parties, it only took a day for the second exploration team to be ready and enter the rainbow bubble again.
Since the exploration this time was a joint operation of many countries, the total number of people added up to 500. With all kinds of special vehicles, it formed a rather large team.
Following the route that had just been opened up, the expedition team headed straight for the central region, not afraid of the ordinary monsters on the periphery at all.
Amidst the sounds of gunfire from time to time, the exploration team continued to advance into the depths of the bubble. The battle had not stopped since the beginning.
They successfully arrived at the central region, and the real battle officially began.
In the face of the monsters that had swallowed the magic pills and become stronger under the nourishment of the power of the origin, the exploration team immediately felt the pressure increase.
The closer they got to the core area, the stronger the monsters were. Even if the expedition team used powerful weapons, they still could not gain much of an advantage.
Even so, the heavily injured exploration team was still steadily advancing, getting closer and closer to the central area.
As long as they reached the valley at the core of the rainbow bubble, they would have a chance to find the underground pa.s.sage. However, the premise was that they could reach the target area alive!
Just as the exploration team was getting closer and closer to the core area, Tang Zhen and the others had finally completed the setup of the interdimensional soul teleportation array. After that, they successfully activated it!
