Summoning Mercenaries

"Kent, where are we going?" At this moment, Case asked.

Since Keith was a round older than Kent, Kent was too embarrassed to call him the team leader, so under Kent's repeated requests, it was better to just call him by his first name.

Kent turned around, walked to Case and asked, "Let's go in the direction of Jupiter."

"Okay, head in the direction of Jupiter, just turn on the engine power to 60%." Case ordered.

"Yes, Captain."

Following Case's order, the Phantom's speed suddenly increased, disappeared from the field of vision of the rover space station, and headed towards Jupiter.

The asteroid belt is between Jupiter and Mars. There are about half a million asteroids similar to the rover space station, and most of the rest are meteorites.

If there is no Jupiter, these asteroids will be sucked away by the gravity of the sun, fly towards the inner solar system, and hit the earth mercilessly.

You must know that one of the hypotheses for the extinction of dinosaurs is the impact of an asteroid, and the diameter of the asteroid that was struck was only ten kilometers, which caused the mass extinction of the earth's biosphere.

What if thirty kilometers, or even more? There has long been no life on the earth, and Jupiter is equivalent to the guardian of the earth.

However, the positions of all the planets are so perfect, and Kent has reason to suspect that the existence of Jupiter seems to be left behind by those "great god" level civilizations.

After the Phantom flew away from the asteroid belt, Kent and Case asked in a deep voice, "Captain, do you know about the planet LV-426?"

"LV-426?" Case heard this, squeezed his chin with one hand, and thought for a while before saying: "I heard about it when I was in the Navy. It is an terrestrial planet in the Wolf 359 galaxy, 7.8 light-years away from the earth. .

Not habitable though, the atmosphere is mostly ammonia, but that was thirty years ago.

After the Navy discovered this planet, large companies began to invest resources there and transform LV-426. I estimate that the population is about 200,000 to 300,000. "

"Two or three hundred thousand?!" Kent couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard the number.

In "Alien 2", just over one hundred aliens wiped out a platoon of marines. Kent couldn't imagine the concept of two or three hundred thousand.

It can be said that if the main task is really to go to LV-426, then this time it can be said to be a near-death concept!

"What's the matter, Kent?" Case wondered. After all, in the eyes of the old captain, although Kent was careless, he was calm and calm, so he shouldn't be so flustered.

"It's okay." Kent calmed down, and asked again: "Captain, what fleets are stationed in the Wolfe 359 galaxy? How many people are there in the entire galaxy?"

"The entire galaxy?" Case said, "The entire galaxy revolves around a red dwarf star. Due to the dim light, the Navy only discovered it in the past half a century. Except for LV-426, there is a gas planet, and a star with a diameter less than A planet of two hundred kilometers.

According to high-level naval officials, the Umbrella Company of the Americas won the bid and invested in the LV-426, which is only stationed by the army of a lieutenant general in the Americas, with about 500 people. "

"It's Umbrella again, this company has penetrated into almost every aspect..." Kent said in a deep voice, and the lieutenant general may also be Sheffield.

Five hundred people guard a planet with a population of hundreds of thousands.

Like Mars, due to the presence of the first and second fleets stationed in the solar system, there is only an army of 30,000 on the entire Mars, so the Grad organization took the opportunity to rise and almost fell when the zombie crisis broke out.

But to say a lot, there are indeed a lot. For example, in the novel "Halo: Harvest Star", the Harvest Star is the edge of human power, and it is the official record of the first contact and battle between humans and the Star Alliance.

And there are millions of people on Harvest Planet, but the police and other agencies can be thrown away. Only Johnson (the black sergeant who often appears in "Halo") is stationed on Harvest Star.

He led a company of Marines stationed there, and they were all recruits.

The number of people was less than a hundred, so when they met the gnolls of the Star Alliance, they were almost defeated. Fortunately, there was Johnson, so the entire army was not wiped out, but millions of residents suffered.

If LV-426 breaks out the biological epidemic of aliens, then it is almost impossible to save, as aliens are near-perfect killing weapons.

High IQ, extremely good at hiding, hard skin, high-strength acid blood, sharp tail, ejection teeth, etc. all in one, this is the alien.

The director of "Alien 1" once said that the original plan was to let the opposite sex kill the heroine, and learn human language to call for help on the earth.

But in the end, this setting was canceled for the sake of the sequel, but it can be concluded from this that the IQ of the alien is no less than that of humans, and even in some respects it is much higher than humans.

…

"Here...here is...LV...26! Urgent...rescue is needed!"

Just when Kent was feeling sad, the correspondent Jack's desk suddenly received intermittent distress calls.

'coming! '

Kent cried out inwardly, what he didn't want to come was the last thing he wanted, but he still came.

"Captain, captain, there is a distress signal!" Jack turned to look at Kent and Case in the middle of the bridge.

"..." Case didn't speak but looked at Kent, and Kent also nodded, and Case then ordered: "Amplify the receiving power and listen to what they are talking about!"

"Yes!" Only after Jack was tinkering with his instrument, the distress signal became clear.

"This is LV-426, we have been attacked by unknown creatures! Request support! Request support!

Most of the colony has fallen, and the citizens are concentrated in our Marine Corps base, but I don't know how long it will last! Request support! "

"This!" After hearing the content, Case was also stunned. After all, Kent had just asked him about the status of LV-426, who knew he had received a distress call.

According to the Chinese proverb, if you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!

Kent walked behind Jack with a serious face and asked, "What's the matter with the distress signal? Isn't it 7.8 light years away? Why did we receive it first?"

"Captain, their communicators seem to have entered the wrong channel. This is the dedicated frequency band for our mercenary regiment. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Now only we can receive their distress signal." Jack explained.

‘Made, it must be the system’s fault. '

Kent cursed secretly in his heart, and then asked, "How long did it take to get here from the distress call?"

"Hmm..." Jack said after thinking for a while, "According to the current transmission speed, it should have been sent a day ago."

"one day ago…"

Kent repeated it again, thinking to himself, in "Alien 2", the residents of LV-426 persisted for several weeks before they fell completely.

But now that there are soldiers guarding it, and there is a military base, then the environment of LV-426 may not be so bad.
