Chapter 393 Alien Battlefield (22) Cooperation

"puff."

Along with the annihilation of the ultra-micro black hole, a huge gap was suddenly torn in the group of hunter creatures that had previously besieged the team members and the two hunters. In order to avoid this irresistible attraction, a large number of hunter creatures that were on their way or had time to escape the range of attraction instinctively moved away from here. Although they were extremely ferocious, they still had a certain level of intelligence and they knew when to retreat.

This powerful counterattack successfully bought at least ten minutes of time. Although everyone got a chance to catch their breath, the surrounding buildings were turned into ruins due to the previous battle. Except for entering the underground outpost No. 2 or the underground sewer further down, they have now lost all the cover that could be used to limit the hunter group from attacking again.

There is not much remaining energy in the air, and most of it has been swallowed up by the ultra-micro black hole. Now everyone is in a very bad condition, not only the two hunters who have just consumed a large amount of energy, but also the team members. There is no extra residual energy, and their armor cannot be automatically recharged. If the hunter group launches an attack again, no one will be able to escape.

So after the hunters recovered their normal size due to lack of energy, although the interference from the surroundings still existed and neither side could understand the other's language, the current equally pessimistic situation made it easy for them to reach a consensus, that is, if the two sides fought again at this time, it was hard to say who would win, but when the hunters reacted, they would all have to die here.

"We have to go. We can't stay here any longer."

"Those two hunters didn't want us to leave before. Although their condition is very bad now, ours is almost the same. I'm not sure it will be easy for us to leave."

"We have to give it a try. My armor still has some backup energy. I'll give the backup core to Hai now. If there's a real possibility of a fight, let Hai throw out a few stasis fields."

"Based on the hunters' performance against the group of genocide, I don't think this method is reliable."

"We don't need to stop him completely. In fact, I don't think we can do it. But as long as we can delay him for a few seconds, we will have enough time to use the top-level protocol and teleport away directly."

"I'm ready and can do it anytime."

The team members still had doubts about the two hunters and quickly discussed how to deal with the worst possible situation. Similarly, the two hunters, Han Zu and Gloria, had a similar attitude towards the team members.

"How are you doing now?"

"After firing that shot, I only have about 30% of my energy left, less than 40%. How are you?"

"Except for the energy consumption for charging you, everything else is fine, about 60%? However, based on the performance of this team in the battle just now, we may not be able to defeat them in their prime in this state. But fortunately, their energy consumption is not small."

"Although we bought some time by clearing the field, those creatures will soon react. I think it's time for us to leave. There is nothing useful here anymore."

"But it seems that we can't get away so easily. After knowing that Outpost No. 1 was hacked by us and Outpost No. 2 is likely to have the same problem, they still insist on coming to Outpost No. 2. This means that they must have some way to bypass our blockade and directly activate the transmission device. We must be prepared to avoid being tricked by them."

As they were talking, Gloria quietly put something into Han Zu's hand.

"What's this?"

"Detonator."

After learning what this thing was, Han Zu immediately understood what Gloria meant. He nodded to her and gave her an approving look.

"When did you do it?"

"Just now, before I used the pulse to throw the biota into chaos."

"Well done."

"Hey!!"

At this time, one of the members of the team shouted to Han Zu. According to the previous conversation, this person seemed to be called Wu. He pointed to the sky and asked Han Zu to look over there. Looking up, Han Zu saw a place in the sky above the city where the outer shell of a mountain was destroyed. A crack appeared in the sky again, and more hunters flew out of the crack and began to approach the crowd.

Han Zu spread his hands, which meant to say, so what do you want to do? Another team member pointed to a gap in the ground near them, which was the intrusion entrance that Gloria created when she entered Outpost No. 2.

Han Zuyi shrugged and nodded, and everyone immediately entered the No. 2 outpost through the gap in the ground. After entering the outpost, several team members immediately sealed the gap with some stabilization devices such as those powered by energy cores. After that, everyone came to the depths of the outpost and gathered around the transmission device. Han Zu briefly activated his small-scale perception ability and could see one or two people in the team doing some small actions.

Han Zu suddenly attacked and grabbed the team leader Xin, and before anyone else could react, he held her hostage and stood in the transmission area of ​​the transmission device. The sudden change made everyone tense, and they immediately pointed their weapons at Han Zu who was holding Xin hostage. Gloria was also ready to take action, but unexpectedly, Xin and Han Zu also stretched out a hand to their own people, signaling them not to take action.

"Don't be impulsive! He must have guessed that we have a way to counter their intrusion into the teleportation device. He did this to prevent us from doing anything. He won't attack us now, otherwise he won't be able to leave."

"Are you sure Xin? Nothing good ever comes of coming into contact with hunters."

"We have no other choice now. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave when those hunter creatures catch up with us."

Han Zu also stopped Gloria who was about to release the flame and explained his intention.

"Save your energy, Gloria! I learned some information from their conversation before. The person I'm holding hostage is the captain of this team. If they want to leave, they must take us with them now. I've made sure they won't do anything."

"What if this captain is quite sacrificial?"

"Then we are just unlucky. But judging from their reactions, they won't easily abandon their companions."

Under the persuasion of their respective leaders, the tense situation was temporarily eased. With the guarantee of mutual restraint, both sides temporarily put aside their prejudices and were forced to cooperate.

After confirming the situation, the team members used the authority previously uploaded by Xu to Wu to lift the blockade of the transmission device and successfully opened the transmission device. The only location that can be transmitted now is the interior of the erasure facility on the satellite, so there is no need to do any unnecessary operations.

The area that the teleportation device can work in is not small, so it is enough for the team members and all of Han Zu Gloria to leave at the same time. As a result, they had to enter the teleportation area shoulder to shoulder. After locking the teleportation node, they finally passed the teleportation safely, left the planet, and arrived at a facility equipped with a planet erasing device located on one of the planet's satellites.

After the teleportation, it seemed to be an unused workshop. It was very empty inside. No one knew what it was originally used for. Not only Han Zu and Gloria, but even the team members were not very clear. After all, the planetary erasure facility on this satellite was usually maintained by the intelligent robots on it, and the team members had never been there.

After arriving on the satellite, the abnormal interference quickly returned to normal, and the equipment of the team members, as well as Han Zu and Gloria's contractor equipment, also returned to normal operation. This time, without the language barrier, their cooperation should be more tacit.

But now that it is safe, is there still a need for cooperation?

Neither side completely trusts the other, in fact, this statement is a bit euphemistic. Knowing the hunters, the team members had no intention of really cooperating, and Han Zu, who was able to run into these guys in such a remote place, plus the information and clues they found in the empty city before, did not trust them at all.

Although they were not familiar with the facility, it was the team's territory after all. In addition, the equipment had returned to normal, so they immediately used the equipment to open permissions and used the energy transport nodes that were everywhere in the facility to start charging their weapons and armor.

"With the power difference this time, our odds of winning will soon become overwhelming."

"Not always."

Hai raised his chin in the direction of the two hunters, and everyone naturally looked over. They found that the male hunter placed his hand directly on a pipeline that transported energy. From the surplus energy detected around him, it can be judged that he was using his ability to absorb energy to absorb a large amount of energy in the pipeline.

Soon, the energy of both sides was restored, and the situation of both sides became equal again. But it is precisely this completely equal situation that is often the most dangerous. Both sides gradually distanced themselves tacitly, and their spirits began to gradually tense up. As the atmosphere in the room became heavier, a battle seemed to be about to happen soon. The team members held down their weapons, gradually raised the muzzles, and stretched their fingers to the trigger. Han Zu also began to gather energy upwards, his eyes gradually brightened, and he could see some element 12 appearing on his body surface, gradually covering his whole body. Abnormal radiation also appeared around Gloria, and her posture was gradually changing, ready to go.

However, the battle did not break out after all, because a holographic image communication suddenly appeared among the crowd. The image environment seemed to be near a very complex but very organized spacecraft control console. An area on the console could be seen with a uniquely shaped, steaming cup.

"Xin! Get out of the facility immediately! There are... Why are you standing with those two hunters?! How did they get up there?!!"

"It's a long story, but it's not important. Wu, what's going on over there?"

"A third party has invaded the facility. Some of the equipment in the facility is still from a hundred years ago. We found that someone has invaded these locations, but we didn't find out who it was. However, based on the direction of the equipment failure, we estimate that they are likely heading for the planet-erasing device. Although we don't know what will happen, if it is related to the energy core of the erasing device, a device that can erase planets and a core failure can cause consequences to a satellite that is several times smaller than the planet. I don't need to explain what consequences it can cause, right?"

"A third party force? Are there other hunters besides these two?!"

"No, no matter who this force that invaded the facility is, the methods they used are different from our technology or the technology of the traitors. Their technology is more crude, even backward, but we have to admit that they are indeed effective."

"Can you pinpoint their location?"

"No, we can only divide the area roughly, but you should evacuate now. The transmission protocol inside the facility is being gradually shut down. The equipment in the facility is too old. We can only guarantee that some nodes can still be used, but it is also temporary. If you don't evacuate quickly, you will really be stuck!"

"What about the facility? Even if we can abandon it, if this technology falls into the hands of others, the consequences will be fatal! If that happens, we won't be the only ones to die!"

"But we can't help you! The safety priority of the possible damage to the facility has surpassed my highest authority as the captain! I have to be responsible for my crew, I can't send reinforcements, and the higher-ups have already issued an order. If you don't come back within an hour, we must make an emergency jump and evacuate!"

"That's just bad luck for us. If that really happens, at least at our funeral, we can have a record on our tombstone that we discovered a new type of powerful hunter."

"Wu, you idiot! I'm ordering you as the captain to evacuate immediately! Get back here!"

Not only the team members, but even Han Zu and Gloria, who were talking through a device translation, could clearly see the anxious captain through the holographic communication. They could tell that he really cared about all the team members from the bottom of his heart, not just his brother Wu.

"Why are you so pessimistic? What if nothing happens? You have a bad mouth. Besides, your orders may not work, brother. Don't forget that although Xin is only the captain of the team now, her rank is the same as yours. As a member of the team, I must listen to the captain. And brother, don't forget that we are not an ordinary spaceship scout team, we are an assessment team. According to the management sequence, you have no authority to order us. Oh, at least Xin and Hai can't."

"What about you, idiot! I'm your big brother!"

"Ha! I won't listen!"

"you!!!"

Although Wu has been trying to relax everyone in this way, the effect is not good. The expressions of the team members are all heavy. After all, the fact that the satellite may explode at any time is really too big.

“We can help.”

"what?!"

But at this moment, Han Zu suddenly used their language and began to communicate with the person on the other end of the holographic communication. Although the speaking speed of this alien language was very slow, it was very fluent and the pronunciation was very clear, so the other party could definitely understand it.

"How can a hunter speak our language?!"

"You haven't forgotten about the traitor's equipment and the control of the network ghost nodes, have you, brother?"

"Then just now I..."

"Yes, I understand."

After falling into awkward silence for a while, the team leader Xin took the initiative to walk up to Han Zu and extended a hand to him, with his palm facing Han Zu. Although he was not quite sure what this gesture meant, Han Zu thought that it was probably similar to a handshake on Earth.

"pungent."

"γ."

Sure enough, Han Zu's guess was correct. In such a hasty place, because of the extremely serious situation, the two sides reached a consensus on alliance. After all, no one wanted to perish together with a marginal satellite, and cooperation was indeed a good choice at present.

"To work with hunters...someone must be crazy."

"Do you have any other solution now, brother?"

"Ha... okay, the location where the facility was invaded was..."

There was no other way, Xu had to immediately start explaining the current situation and inform everyone of the invaded location. In such a chaotic situation, an unprecedented cooperation began in a muddled way.
