The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 165 164. Alien, Engineer
Above the Tianyuan-4A low-Earth orbit.

The commander-in-chief of "Human Exploration" Ma Zhao, deputy commander Optimus Prime, and representatives of a number of important departments all gathered in the main control room.

Although the spacecraft has long been far away from the solar system, the spacecraft's daily routine still operates according to a 24-hour Earth day.

It was midnight at this time, and everyone on the ship was resting except for the scientific expedition team members who landed on Tianyuan 4A planet and the crew on duty.

They were summoned temporarily and all had some "morning grumpy" feelings to some extent.

But when they saw the video footage on the big screen in the main control room, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

“The images above come from intelligence sent by the scientific expedition team on the ground.

Just one hour and ten minutes ago, they entered the opened door of the alien building.

According to the information retrieved and analyzed by artificial intelligence, the cabin they entered was a warehouse used by the alien civilization to store biological weapons.

Unfortunately, these eleven scientific expedition team members from the Engineering Support Department and one hundred and eight cloned tool workers were infected.

Up to now, 119 of the 59 life signals belonging to us in this alien building have disappeared..."

Everyone was looking at the video footage displayed on the big screen, which showed clones constantly falling to the ground and twitching. The scientific expedition team members fled in panic, but were blocked by humans parasitized by the alien chordates. There was a bloody scene of both sides struggling and attacking each other.

“Who allowed them to enter without permission?
Totally disorganized and undisciplined!
A bunch of free-spirited guys!"

The head of the engineering support department is an energy dynamics expert from the CN branch.

He was the angriest among all the people present.

Because the eleven scientific expedition team members who were in the accident were under his charge.

But apparently, these guys weren't so obedient.

This also means that the head of the engineering support department will be blamed for the trouble they caused.

“It’s meaningless to say this now.

They have paid the price with their lives.

The most urgent task is how to deal with this alien building and the more than 100 scientific expedition members who have landed on it."

Commander-in-chief Ma Zhao's expression was terrifyingly calm.

In fact, he was already angry after hearing the news.

The reckless actions of these eleven scientific expedition members not only put themselves in danger.

Other scientific expedition members who land on the planet also face the risk of being attacked by alien creatures.

The most important thing is that the "space bridge jump operation" of the entire team may be postponed because of this.

What Ma Zhao has done is to put everything on record, which will be judged by the coalition government in the future.

“I will handle the security issues.

I will go and clean up those infected bodies."

Optimus Prime's loud and steady voice inexplicably makes people feel very reassured.

As a Cybertron mechanical life form that has been blessed by God.

It is the strongest combat force on this spacecraft and also a killer weapon for dealing with security issues.

“No, we still don’t know what is inside this alien building.

The most important thing is not to delay the 'Space Bridge Jump Plan'!"

Of course Ma Zhao would never allow Optimus Prime to leave.

It is the core operator of the "Space Bridge Jump Project".

In order for this plan to be successfully implemented, Ma Zhao can sacrifice everyone, including himself.

He would never let Optimus Prime put himself in danger before finding out whether there was any situation on the planet below that could threaten him.

“From now on, the scientific expedition team members who have landed are not allowed to leave the planet below.

Order the security forces on the landing airship to immediately enter combat status and be ready to respond to any possible emergencies at any time.

After daybreak, carry out armed cleanup of alien buildings!

We don't have that much time to waste.

All unstable factors must be nipped in the bud as soon as possible!"

After Commander-in-Chief Ma Zhao issued a quick and decisive order, the entire "Human Exploration" spacecraft began to move.

The hieroglyphic descriptions of "biological weapons" in the alien buildings and the survival forms of the alien biological parasites caused the "Human Exploration" to quickly raise the danger rating of the Tianyuan 4A planet.

In order to avoid the spread of possible "viruses" and "parasites", Ma Zhao could only isolate the landing scientific expedition team members inside the planet.

On the ground airship, James, who was in charge of security, was informed of the situation and immediately arranged for his 100 security guards to be on combat readiness duty.

Until the daytime arrives on the planet Tianyuan 4A.

Equipped with full-coverage power armor, armed with chemical gunpowder weapons and tactical pulse guns, they began to advance towards the alien building.

But as soon as he walked out of the area around the airship, James received a warning from the "Human Exploration".

There were more than 500 life signals within 20 meters around them. Just when James was still hoping that there might be survivors of the expedition team among them.

These twenty or so life signals began to rush towards them at an extremely fast speed, under the cover of dense ground vegetation.

"Fuck! Prepare for battle!

Authorization to fire! Authorization to fire! "

All of a sudden, hundreds of guns of various types began firing. Metal bullets driven by chemical gunpowder and tactical pulse kinetic bullets were continuously fired in the direction of the "parasite".

Soon, James and his security team saw the attacking creature clearly.

It has long, thin, curved limbs with unnatural angles at the joints, and an irregular head with strange wrinkles and grooves.

Its skin is metallic in tone, covered in a layer of slime that makes it look slippery and dirty, and its mouth, when opened wide, reveals rows of teeth as sharp as knives.

James didn't doubt the opponent's fighting ability at all.

Because he saw with his own eyes that the security guard closest to the haystack had no time to dodge and was knocked down by the other side.

The huge mouthparts gnawed at the connection between the power mecha's neck and, under the action of the highly corrosive "saliva" mucus, quickly tore apart the security guard's protection.

Fortunately, the surrounding team members provided timely support and finally blasted the "alien creature" to pieces before its sharp mouthparts cut the team member's carotid artery.

"Fuck! What the hell is this!?"

James' eyelids couldn't stop twitching as he looked at the bloody patches on the ground and the alien corpses that kept emitting a sour smell into the air.

The neck of the rescued security guard had been corroded by the alien slime, leaving flesh and blood everywhere. James could only order people to send him to the airship for treatment.

More than twenty alien parasitic creatures did not pose much threat to the fully armed security forces.

However, the psychological stimulation caused to everyone by these disgusting and weird alien creatures is not small.

After leaving a group of team members to guard the airship base, James continued to lead the team members into the alien building.

As the "nest" of these alien creatures, the security forces suffered attacks from even larger numbers of alien creatures in the alien building.

Almost all the 119 cloned tools and scientific expedition team members became "culture dishes" and "parasites" for the incubation of alien creatures.

"These alien creatures are simply more perfect carbon-based life forms than those infected by the T virus!"

Dr. Ashford, who has been devoted to the life research of the T virus, was watching the live broadcast images transmitted in real time by the security team members on the airship with shining eyes.

His remarks drew the attention of his fellow scientific expedition team members.

You know, it is because of these damn alien creatures that they have to be isolated inside this planet.

"Uh, I mean these damn alien creatures. They are suitable for research on biological weapons."

Dr. Ashford quickly made his position clear.

If James and the security guards heard what Dr. Ashford said, they would definitely agree.

Those who are selected to serve as the escort and security force of the "Human Exploration" undoubtedly have strong military combat qualities.

In addition, there is full-coverage power armor, various advanced weapons, life detection equipment, and the blessing of [popular election] physical fitness.

Apart from the mechanical life forms of Cybertron civilization, James never felt that there was any other enemy that could be their match.

But these alien creatures have indeed refreshed James and others' perceptions of "carbon-based life forms."

Twenty hours ago, these alien chordates were just a group of inconspicuous "little loaches".

After just one night, not only did they kill the human hosts they parasitized, but they also hatched a horrifying alien creature.

This alien creature, which can be hatched in large quantities and has extremely strong combat capabilities, has a very high "cost-effectiveness" from the perspective of a "biological weapon".

The hatched alien creatures were able to cause damage to the numerically superior United Government soldiers.

You know, to train a United Nations Army soldier who has made many military achievements, obtained the [blessing of popular election], and obtained citizenship, it takes years of military training and battlefield experience of blood and fire to succeed.

And an alien creature only needs a cloning tool man as an "incubator", which takes only one night...

James shook his head and could only say that these damn alien creatures were simply born "combat creatures".

At least within the scope of carbon-based life forms, humans have not discovered anything more outrageous than them.

"Burn all the corpses of alien creatures!"

James loudly ordered his subordinates to clean up the alien corpses while advancing towards the [Biological Weapons Storage Room] of the alien building.

The pure flesh and blood of carbon-based life forms could only be defeated miserably when facing the well-armed United Government soldiers without the advantage in numbers.

James did not take the same risks as his fellow expedition members.

Strictly follow the commander-in-chief's orders, marking and clearing all alien creatures within sight.

They only breathed a sigh of relief after cleaning up all 119 human corpses infested by alien creatures.

At the same time, Ma Zhao on the "Human Exploration" learned even more troublesome news from the hieroglyphs retrieved and deciphered by artificial intelligence.

The traces of intelligent civilization in this circular building come from a civilization translated as "engineers".
