Chapter 1,233 Level 1 Alert!

The sky gradually darkened, and so did the surface temperature of Mars. Ｗｗ　Ｗ

Starlink Trading's infantry combat vehicle carried the body of the "centipede" and retreated, while the overturned Mars rover stayed in place.

Two devil bugs emerged from the ground. They tapped the rover with their sickle-like front teeth and found that they couldn't eat it. Then they crawled back into the ground and went to nowhere.

The two people who were lying in the carriage, not daring to take a breath, looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The entire car was overturned, with all four tires upside down.

After unbuckling the seat belts on their chests, the two people fell from the upside-down seats onto the ceiling.

Wang Qiang turned over with difficulty, reached out to touch the control panel of the rover, and clicked a few buttons on it. James carefully climbed to the window of the rover, put his face close to the window, and looked out.

"Have they left?" Wang Qiang said with a grin while tapping his finger on the console, "Damn, it's so hard to play with this thing backwards... Done it!"

The dormant system of the console restarted, and blue light particles gathered on the holographic screen. Rows of dazzling data appeared in front of Wang Qiang's eyes. The dazzling light made him blink hard several times.

"They've left, but I'm not sure if they will come back." James took a deep breath, moved his eyes away from the window, leaned against the wall of the cabin, put his head in his hands and cursed, "Damn it , what is going on with those bugs outside?"

The previous moment was too sudden.

Almost without warning, the entire Mars rover was knocked over by the "centipede" that suddenly emerged. There are still bruises on his forehead from the coffee cup.

"Who knows, maybe we've been tossing around here recently and made them doze off? Or maybe the little guy who put him down pissed him off?" Wang Qiang said with a grin while looking at the holographic screen. , their teeth are still not sharp enough... The alloy frame of the Mars rover chassis was bent in, but the fuel tank and engine were not damaged. The air conditioning system is normal and the oxygen content is sufficient... Fresh water and food can last for two weeks. The situation is very optimistic .Hell, the antenna on the roof is broken."

"Can you turn the car over?" James asked.

"You're kidding, man." Wang Qiang chuckled, turned off the holographic screen, and lay down on the ceiling of the cabin.

In order to prevent sandstorms,

At the same time, it has to take into account living, scientific research, communication and other facilities. The tonnage of the entire Mars rover is naturally astonishing.

Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for this Mars rover, which is not much lighter than an infantry combat vehicle, to be turned over like this. But similarly, once the car is turned upside down, it is definitely not an easy task to right it.

"Let me think about it, we may need a crane, or a superman with infinite strength." Smiling and shaking his head, Wang Qiang pressed the button next to the window, lowered the alloy folding window, and then leaned on On the wall of the cabin, "I don't think either one is very reliable in this situation."

"We were abandoned?" James swallowed and said with difficulty.

"How is that possible? Just wait quietly for rescue. Star Ring Trade has no tradition of never leaving anyone behind."

Wang Qiang is still convinced of this.

What's more, even if it's not for them, even if it's for the alien ruins under Mine No. 071, the headquarters will never abandon them.

The moment he saw these bugs, Wang Qiang once again confirmed the original idea that had been rejected by everyone, including him.

Directly below the 071 mineral point is not a naturally formed igneous rock vein at all.

There are the remains of the Martians!

…

The first level alarm was sounded at the Halo City Air and Space Defense Force Headquarters.

This is the first time since the establishment of the Air and Space Defense Force.

Thirty seconds to arm, thirty seconds to assemble for duty.

Marines wearing exoskeletons ran in formation on the suspended ladder, gathered on the track connecting the "Seagull" and the port, and entered the elevator in batches. Under the action of electromagnetic propulsion, the elevators drove along the track in the direction of the Seagull-class transport ship.

In just ten minutes, a thousand Marines completed their war deployment and lay down in the dormant warehouse. The connecting arm was withdrawn from the bridge of the Seagull-class transport ship, and all the crew members had entered their working positions. The captain stood in the hall of the command module, just waiting for an order to set off.

Outside the Starring Trading Headquarters, dense footsteps sounded, heading towards the conference room.

"What happened?" Quickly catching up with Kerwin, the commander of the Starlink Aerospace Defense Force followed him and asked in a low voice, "My people have completed the assembly, but we Where are your enemies?"

"Our colony has been attacked." Kerwin said in a low voice without slowing down at all.

The officer was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously.

"American?"

"No, it's worse," Kerwin said solemnly, "It's aliens."

The meeting began, and almost all the high-level officials of the Star Ring Trade and Space Department and the Aerospace Defense Department gathered here.

The head of the conference table was empty, and it belonged to Jiang Chen. Since he couldn't come on the surface, he could only use video to participate in his own place.

Putting a document on the table, Kerwin looked at the military officers, ministerial and deputy ministerial officials present, and spoke quickly.

"To make a long story short, our Mars colony was attacked by unknown creatures, suspected of being prehistoric species, for unknown reasons. A Marine died in battle, and a Mars rover rolled over near Mine Site 071 with two Future Mining employees on board. .Unsure of the number of enemy units, frontline Marines were forced to retreat to base."

"Based on the remains of the unknown creature brought back by the frontline soldiers, biotechnology researchers from the Mars colony analyzed it. We have temporarily named this creature——"

"Devil Bug," interrupted Kerwin and looked at him from the conference table. Jiang Chen said calmly, "Project No. Special detection equipment has observed the remains beneath the 071 mine."

"It is now confirmed that devil bugs are large arthropods that were active in the mantle to crust region of Mars 3.7 billion years ago. Their food habits are carnivorous, and the reason for their reproduction is unknown. They may be related to the remains of previous civilizations."

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, the faces of the officers and ministers at the conference table showed expressions of shock. While looking at each other, there were sounds of surprise and disbelief coming from the conference table.

Including Kerwin, the person related to the 071 project, everyone was shocked by the facts revealed in Jiang Chen's words.

Species from 3.7 billion years ago?

How can it be!

God knows how they survive so long.

"Everyone."

Jiang Chen's voice silenced all the whispers.

After looking around at the people present, he ordered in a calm and unquestionable tone.

"Now the security of the entire colony is threatened, and the existence of devil bugs has seriously hindered our 'Tiangong City Plan'."

"The war has begun."

"I ask you to immediately formulate a battle plan to reinforce our colonies."

"Suppress those bugs at all costs!"
