Cannon Fodder is Not In the Service Area

Chapter 209 207: Crisis of the Expeditionary Force (Part 2)

Gu Ningxuan embarks on a long journey, and at the same time, the second brother of the Gu family, Gu Ningzhi, also enters a new round of exploration. According to his previous prediction, the travel plus exploration would take at most five years. But after actually joining the expeditionary force, Gu Ningzhi realized that he had thought too much.

Time flies, five years have passed, but until now, I still haven’t found what I was looking for. The expeditionary force has explored several possible desolate planets, but found nothing. As time passed, the atmosphere in the entire team became somewhat solemn.

"Oh... wouldn't it be best if I couldn't find him..." Gu Ningzhi crossed her legs and lay half-ly on the chair in Li You's office. Even though he was wearing a handsome military uniform, he still couldn't hide his ruthless appearance. "The employer and employee want to return home as soon as possible. I don't know if there will be any results if I continue to search..."

Li You sat on the sofa with half-closed eyes. Because the task had not progressed, he also felt an invisible pressure. Hearing what Gu Ningzhi said, he frowned and said, "This is a mission and it must be completed! What's there to be happy about if the mission fails!"

Gu Ningzhi simply put his feet on Li You's desk, looked at the ceiling with a vague look in his eyes, and said vaguely, "It's not a good thing anyway... If it is really found, it will definitely be a disaster. Little Squid , don’t tell me you’re not worried at all.”

According to Su Jiameng, that kind of sleeping creature is very dangerous. There has been no trace of the other party for all these years, and Gu Ningzhi thought to himself with some relief that maybe the appearance of that creature was just a coincidence.

"This is something that the people above should worry about. I just need to complete my mission." Li You said in a cold voice.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Gu Ningzhi's words really touched his heart! He had escorted that thing to the institute before, and he vaguely knew that this was not a good thing. When he first heard that the thing had been destroyed, Li You actually felt relieved.

But the people above insisted on going their own way and issued orders to find alternatives for research. How could he refuse, as his nature is to "obey"?

He had previously contacted senior officials, stating that there had been no progress in five years of exploration. If it were the past, the exploration order would definitely be withdrawn. But this time, for some reason, the top management insisted like never before and would not give up until the goal was achieved.

And as far as he knew, in addition to the expedition force he led, there were two other exploration teams also carrying out the same mission.

"Old-fashioned, not cute at all." Gu Ningzhi curled his lips, and finally reminded, "Although I admire your persistence in the mission and loyalty to the alliance, you have the biggest belly in the world, and the supplies on the ship are no longer available. If there are too many, if they are not found after a month, we can only choose to return to the nearest supply station to replenish them, otherwise... we will have to starve to death on the aircraft carrier."

Li You pursed his lips. In addition to worrying about the progress of the mission recently, another thing he was worried about was material issues. The universe is vast, and although there are many planets with living creatures, they are only a drop in the ocean to this universe. If they are lucky enough to encounter a planet suitable for biological survival, they can replenish supplies. If not, they can only choose to return to the nearest supply station planet!

Gu Ningzhi seemed to think that the fire was not strong enough, so he poured another bucket of oil and continued, "If this expeditionary force and an alliance major general did not die heroically in battle, but died of starvation... Tsk, tsk, tsk, that sounds very embarrassing. Eh."

Li You raised his eyes and rolled his eyes at the other party angrily, and said, "I remember that when you first entered here, you were very interested in the exploration mission. You always ran at the front and were very motivated. Why have you changed your mind now and are less interested? lack?"

Gu Ningzhi wiped his nose awkwardly, how could he tell the truth to the little squid? The reason why I worked so hard before was just because I wanted to find that thing as soon as possible and fulfill Su Jiameng's instructions. After searching for so many years, there is still no clue. It can be seen that the thing is gone or hiding somewhere where they can't find it. Why continue to waste effort and energy?

"The situation is different now and then." Gu Ningzhi said something vague, "Anyway, if we don't encounter a planet that can supply supplies or find the mission target in the next month, we must return!"

Li You's eyes were complicated, and he closed his eyes and said, "I understand this, and I won't joke with the lives of the people under my hands."

"Actually, I have a doubt. According to what you said at the beginning, there are many similar things in the original discovery location. But why can't we meet any of them when we go there again?" Gu Ningzhi suddenly made a joke, "Is it possible? They sensed our approach, grew legs and ran away? Or maybe the planet coordinates were recorded incorrectly?"

Li You was speechless by the other party's inappropriate words. He held it in for a long time before he said, "Absurd!"

Gu Ningzhi's luck was obviously not very good. After sailing for another half month and exploring two planets, the expeditionary force discovered a planet with supply resources! This discovery made the expeditionary force, which was a little anxious, breathe a collective sigh of relief.

"Get ready, explore the composition of the atmosphere, establish planet coordinates, and determine whether there are intelligent creatures!"

Li You stood in the general command room with an unchanged expression and issued orders. Gu Ningzhi stood behind him, looking at the planet on the virtual screen that was mostly made of tender green and part of blue. He felt a little anxious for no reason, but couldn't explain it. Where is the source.

The results of the exploration are very gratifying. The planet's atmosphere is very suitable for intelligent life to survive, and it has sufficient water sources.

According to space photography, there are still vague signs of living things on this planet. However, the people of the expeditionary force cannot judge whether these creatures are harmless. Even though the mission target was not discovered, discovering a habitable planet again was a big gain.

Gu Ningzhi looked at the people in the headquarters who were busy preparing to enter the atmosphere of a strange planet, and the vague shadow in his heart seemed to become more intense. I always feel that this operation will be very troublesome... Is this... his illusion?

"What's wrong? You've been silent since just now. Is there something on your mind?" After Li You finished arranging all the matters, he subconsciously turned to look at Gu Ningzhi and found that the other person's face was thoughtful and solemn, as if he had encountered some huge problem.

"No... I just feel that this planet appears at the wrong time." Gu Ningzhi said half-truthfully, "You have to know that in half a month, we will be able to return. But at this time, a planet appeared that can temporarily replenish energy. Planet, all hopes are in vain...Under such a premise, it would be strange if I could be in a good mood, right?"

A black line hung on Li You's forehead. Although he had known that Gu Ningzhi was out of tune a few years ago, he did not expect that he could continue to refresh his lower limit. "The aircraft ship is about to land in the atmosphere. Be prepared! The deal is done. It’s useless no matter how much you complain.”

Gu Ningzhi is currently a member of the first exploration team of the expeditionary force. Every time they arrive at a strange planet, the initial exploration tasks fall on this team. Gu Ningzhi has been hiding his strength over the years. When performing tasks, he always shows that his strength is more than above or below. Therefore, he has not been promoted in these years and has remained in the first exploration team.

"Yes, yes, yes, Major General Li has already spoken. How can a little transparent soldier like me dare to disobey?" Gu Ningzhi put the military cap in his hand neatly on his head. His playful expression had gone away, leaving only He said seriously and seriously, "I'm going to get ready."

Looking at Gu Ningzhi's figure leaving in angrily manner, Li You only felt a pain in his head. Sure enough, it was a very wrong decision to recruit this guy into the expeditionary force. If he didn't do serious things, he would only cause trouble for himself.

The aircraft stayed at an altitude of one thousand meters, and Gu Ningzhi's First Exploration landed in a small rescue aircraft.

The surrounding air is further collected for analysis. Radiation elements and intensity are also top priorities for inspection. Unexpectedly, the planet's atmosphere data is in extremely good condition, and even cosmic radiation is stable at a bottom line that is not dangerous.

Out of caution, the members of the first exploration team still wore special isolation space suits and actually entered the planet's atmosphere. The planet's gravity is slightly heavier than those of the alliance's planets. But which one of the people present can still move freely under more than ten times the gravity? This gravity has almost no impact on them!

"This planet... is really amazing..." the first exploration team member began to mutter. According to the current exploration data, they do not need to wear space isolation suits at all. But they will not take off the isolation gown easily.

Past exploration experiences told them that there are all kinds of strange creatures in space. There are very likely to be deadly and dangerous microorganisms floating in the atmosphere of every strange planet! Every qualified explorer would not do such a stupid thing.

While maintaining stable contact with the high-altitude team, we conducted preliminary exploration. The first exploration team worked together in a tacit division of labor. Some people took samples, analyzed and investigated everywhere, and then established the initial planet data to facilitate subsequent research and analysis.

Gu Ningzhi and his group began to search for the indigenous creatures of this planet. If you are lucky, the natives are just gentle creatures with backward culture, and things will go very smoothly from now on. If unlucky, the natives are dangerous carnivores who are bloodthirsty and warlike, then fighting will be inevitable. Gu Ningzhi found a direction to explore, surrounded by very dense "forests".

It's not correct to say it's a forest, because Gu Ningzhi has never seen such an ugly and strange "tree" with strange shapes. The dark green branches didn't have a single leaf, but instead had many things that looked like flesh balls growing on them. He raised his hand and touched the "trunk", and there was something warm to the touch. There seemed to be blood flowing under his palm... There were such things all around, and it was impossible to see the edge at a glance.

"No matter what, let's collect the specimen first..." Gu Ningzhi took out the sample collection tool and carefully cut open the "trunk". There was a thick yellow liquid with an indescribable fishy smell flowing out, "Tsk... really nausea……"

After hurriedly taking the samples, Gu Ningzhi walked a little further and his eyes suddenly froze. He quickly stepped forward, pushed aside the weeds on the ground, made gestures with his palms, and murmured, "Are these... human footprints?"

Or the footprints of someone wearing shoes!
