Chapter 3114: The strangeness of the gray fog (1)

Translator: 549690339

In the thick fog, a fully armed soldier kicked away a piece of garbage blocking the road.

He was wearing an armor that emitted yellow and white light and holding a detector, constantly searching the rugged ground.

The energy crystals created by the disaster did not appear in the form of a mine, but could be condensed at any place.

They could be on the ground, on the treetops, or between buildings.

Perhaps at any time, he would be able to see a shiny crystal suddenly appear in front of his eyes.

These crystals were energy crystals, strategic resources that both sides fought over. They were equivalent to the Most Precious Blood in the planet.

However, this blood was spilled after an injury, and the amount was enough to endanger his life.

As the world’s origin was destroyed, there was no way to retrieve the spilled blood, unless the world’s origin could be regenerated.

As the system announcement rang out, the soldier’s eyes lit up and he quickly went closer to observe.

Then, he saw a piece of building debris in front of him. It was covered with a layer of diamond-like crystals.

“Energy crystals! ”

The soldier said softly. He quickly took out a special collection tool and carefully collected it.

Although the crystal was very small and very fine, its value could not be denied.

If he could get his hands on a bastion ship, he’d be able to sell these diamond-like energy crystals for a high price.

While the soldiers were collecting energy crystals, many glowing figures passed by. They were all soldiers with detectors in their hands.

When they were moving, they tried their best to ensure that one of their companions could see them. Their goal was to avoid being separated in the gray fog.

In order to ensure this, they could not move too fast and had to observe their companions ‘positions at all times.

Even so, after the ground troops landed, hundreds of soldiers still got lost.

The bastions didn’t do anything in response. It was as if they’d allowed the situation to continue.

However, someone suggested that the ground troops should be divided into three teams. If someone from the front team got lost, the team behind would have a chance to find them.

This method had a certain effect, but it would cause a serious waste of manpower and affect the collection of energy crystals.

The bastions were in a rush to harvest their spoils, and so they refused the proposal.

He said that he would send a quick search team to look for these missing people at an appropriate time.

The soldiers who were unfortunately lost were completely ignored, and they could only pray for themselves.

This was the cruelty of war. In the face of greater benefits, there must be sacrifices.

Even the race that built the bastions thought they were superior and looked down on all other lower-class races.

However, once they stepped onto the battlefield, these ” noble ” races also had to face the threat of death.

The soldier finished collecting the energy crystals and placed them into a special container. He heaved a sigh of relief.

The energy crystals they collected would be counted and given corresponding rewards.

The military’s goal was to motivate the soldiers participating in the battle and make them actively collect energy crystals.

The reward model was very effective. Many soldiers who were against war had slowly changed their attitude.

This was because they realized that if they continued to collect them like this, they would receive very generous rewards.

He had only vaguely known that war could easily bring great wealth, but now he had a real experience.

He searched for his comrades, but found that they had already left. According to the time and speed, they should be about 50 meters ahead.

All the soldiers who collected energy crystals would hang a thin thread on their companion’s body for the convenience of tracking and searching later. The length of the thin thread was one kilometer, and if necessary, it could be further extended.

In an environment shrouded in gray fog, the effect of this special thread far exceeded any technological equipment.

The soldier picked up the thread and collected it as he moved forward, checking if there were any energy crystals in the places he passed.

The energy Crystal’s fluctuations were very weak. If one did not observe carefully, it would be easy to miss it.

Even a professional gatherer would have to use the carpet search mode to ensure that they would not miss anything.

Now, through manual search and the influence of the gray fog, the chances of missing would be greatly increased.

After walking for a distance, the soldier realized that something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, he should have been able to feel the pull of the fine thread, especially when he was pulling the thread back.

However, the silk thread in his hand gave off a light feeling, as if it had already broken and fallen.

“What’s going on?”

The soldier was puzzled, and at the same time, he had a bad feeling.

However, he could only brace himself and continue to move forward because he had no other choice.

The thread soon reached its end, and the string had already fallen to the ground. No wonder it was so light that he felt nothing.

However, upon closer inspection, the soldier was shocked. It turned out that this tool used to retrieve and retract threads had already been severely damaged, and there were fresh blood stains on it.

On the cruel battlefield, blood should have been the most common thing, and every soldier should have been used to it.

However, this soldier was different. He was not a real soldier. He was forcibly sent to the battlefield.

He lacked sufficient military qualities and had an irrepressible fear of the bloody and cruel war.

But the Bastion’s repeated claims that the chances of war were minuscule allowed the soldiers to breathe a sigh of relief.

They had also been in space and seen the planet’s surface that was riddled with holes. They confirmed that the number of survivors should be very small. Many residents were skeptical of the military’s words, and this soldier was one of them.

Who would have thought that reality would be so cruel? it had not even been a day since they landed on the ground, and such an unforeseen event had already occurred.

The soldier was terrified. He quickly raised his weapon and looked around

while trembling.

He was looking for his companions, the team he belonged to.

As long as they could find their comrades and help each other, they would definitely be able to overcome the current crisis.

The soldier thought to himself and began to move forward slowly, guessing that his companion might be in front of him.

He had just walked a short distance when he was inexplicably tripped.

The Soldier’s Heart jumped when he saw what had tripped him. It was the body of his companion.

Only the upper half of the body was left. Everything below the abdomen seemed to have been torn apart by a wild beast and had completely disappeared.

The helmet had fallen off, revealing a face covered in blood. His eyes were wide open.

If one observed carefully, one would notice that the back of the soldier’s head had been completely hollowed out.

To the soldier’s shock, his dead companion reached out and grabbed his ankle tightly.

When the soldier saw this scene, he could not help but feel more and more frightened. The other party was clearly dead, so how could he reach out and grab him?

Just as the soldier was confused and frightened, his dead companion suddenly moved.

The corpse grabbed the soldier’s protective suit with both hands and climbed up the body, face to face with the soldier.

“Run! There’s a ghost here!”

After he shouted this, the half corpse stopped moving and became as stiff as a piece of wood.

“Ah, Yingluo.”

The soldier let out a blood-curdling screech and used all his strength to flip the body over, crawling up with a sorry look on his face.

He picked up the weapon on the ground and looked around in horror. He was at a loss.

At this moment, those words were still echoing in his ears.

“Where is the ghost? where is the ghost?”

The soldier’s mind was in a mess. He squatted on the spot, not daring to move, and kept praying for someone to save him.

Just as this thought appeared in his mind, he saw many figures suddenly appear beside him.

“Aiyaya!”

The soldier was overjoyed. He stood up and shouted, but then he suddenly froze on the spot.

The smile on his face was instantly replaced by fear as he looked in front of

him in disbelief.

It turned out that these soldiers were releasing a dark green light, which made people’s scalps numb.

The soldier closest to him slowly turned his head and looked at the frightened soldier.

The other party’s smile was a little stiff, and his eyes were wide open, as if he had died with grievances.

The soldier knew very well that he had just seen this face, and it was currently lying quietly at his feet..
