Mecha Journey

"There is a waterfall above the river. There is a huge height difference. There are steep mountain walls on both sides of the waterfall, making it difficult to pass."

Yang Mu frowned as he listened to the investigation information that a team member spoke from the channel.

After a not very intense discussion last night, the final plan everyone discussed was not the two proposed by Yang Mu and Harris, but another method that everyone agreed with.

That is to divide the troops into two groups, first set the station location for the night, and then two teams of five people each go to two survey points not far from the camp.

Because the place where everyone is now is a plateau forest in winter, there are fewer animals, and the two mining sites are not far from the camp, so they can take care of each other, so Yang Mu finally agreed to this plan.

It is also beneficial to divide the entire team into two teams, that is, it can speed up the progress of the task and ensure the rational use of resources.

After making such a decision, everyone selected the station for the night and headed towards the two locations. Yang Mu led four team members to one of the mission points, but he did not expect that they had just been out for more than an hour. Encountered such a situation.

On the road that Yang Mu and others must pass through, a wide and fast river unexpectedly appeared here. However, what was shown on the holographic map was a very small stream, which was completely different from the current situation.

It seems that it should be caused by the increase in melting snow and water in the distant mountains these days.

"Yang Mu, what should we do now?"

Looking at the current situation, a team member asked Yang Mu, and everyone looked at Yang Mu.

Yang Mu didn't say anything. He controlled the mecha and walked to the river. He broke off a large leaf and threw it into the river. The leaf was quickly washed down and then swirled in the middle of the river without a trace.

Looking at this situation, Yang Mu knew that this place was really dangerous. Airborne sonar detection showed that the river here was four to five meters deep. Originally, such a wading depth was seven to eight meters, or even ten meters high. It's not a problem for mechas, but now the water is so turbulent, and maybe because of the difference in terrain, there are even whirlpools in it.

And on the other side of the river is a river beach, surrounded by low shrubs. There are no thick trees for the mecha to fix the rope.

The idea of ​​passing upstream could not be realized because of the appearance of a waterfall.

As a result, it will be very dangerous for the mechas in the team. Although a light mecha like mine can fly very flexibly, there are still two heavy mechas in the team, especially Ji Mo. The bloodthirsty driver can only wade across the river in such terrain, and there is definitely no way to pass.

After careful planning for a long time, Yang Mu finally chose to give up, turned around and said to his teammates.

"Let's go back to the camp and rest first. We can't walk through this place, so we must take a detour."

"We won't be able to go back on time if we go back and forth like this. Let's think about the solution tonight and talk about it tomorrow."

Hearing Yang Mu say this, the team members really couldn't think of any good solutions to the situation at hand, so they all agreed. Yang Mu greeted Ji Mo and others, and they headed back to the previously selected garrison.

"Yang Mu, it's all my fault for choosing such a mecha. It's too heavy and delayed everyone's schedule." On the way back, Ji Mo exchanged a few words with Yang Mu through a private channel and expressed his apology.

It seems that Ji Mo is still keenly aware of one of the reasons why Yang Mu canceled the plan. He feels that he has not been able to help so far, which has delayed everyone's progress.

"It's okay. Every team must have heavy mechas. It plays an important role. As for the current problem, we can slowly solve it."

Yang Mu didn't care about these problems. He comforted Ji Mo for a while, and then prepared to re-plan his route for tomorrow.

"Ouch~~~!"

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front of the team, and a roar echoed through the forest, interrupting Yang Mu's train of thought.

"Captain, we found a big thing ahead! The system shows it's a hammer-headed rhinoceros."

"What's going on?! Did you piss it off?!"

Yang Mu asked anxiously, while also searching for details about the native species of this planet on his display screen.

"No, it suddenly appeared, then stopped and demonstrated to us!"

After a moment, a frame popped up on the holographic helmet, showing information about the planet's native animals.

"The hammerhead rhinoceros, mammal rhinoceros class, is an animal of the order Perissodactyl. It has hard skin and a thick bone structure on its tail. It looks like a hammerhead. When it encounters an enemy, its tail faces the predator. An adult rhino can be up to four meters tall and ten meters long. , weighing seven tons.”

Data items were displayed on the holographic helmet. Yang Mu broke into a cold sweat and spoke quickly.

"Back off! Back off immediately! Pay attention to the hammer head on its tail!"

"Everyone, turn on the safety of your weapons, don't shoot, wait for me to come!"

Yang Mu said this, and quickly drove the mecha forward. At the same time, he opened the safety catch of the rifle in his hand. Ji Mo, who was not far from Yang Mu, also quickly followed.

When he rushed to the front, Yang Mu was also shocked by the scene in front of him. The entire area of ​​dozens of square meters was completely destroyed. The two team members' mechas were standing at the edge at the moment, and the guns in their hands had already been destroyed. The safety was turned on and the muzzle of the gun was slightly lowered.

And in the center of this messy place, a huge animal was wearing rough clothes. Instead of snorting, at its tail, a huge bony structure was raised high on its back, looking vigilant. Everyone in the field.

It seems that everything in this scene is its masterpiece.

"Captain, what should we do now?" The team member saw Yang Mu coming and asked quickly.

"It just stopped on its own, and we didn't dare to make any more moves."

Yang Mu listened to the description of the team members, carefully observed the situation of the hammer-headed rhinoceros in front of him, and then said carefully.

"Don't be impatient. Just retreat slowly. We may have intruded into its territory. If we retreat, we'll be fine."

Yang Mu said this, and the team members began to control the tall mecha to slowly retreat.

This is the first time that Yang Mu and others have come into contact with the large native species here on this strange planet. The huge size of this animal, at least among terrestrial animals, has not been seen by Yang Mu on many planets. , it seems that this Hades planet has something special about it.

Facing such a huge animal, Yang Mu's instinctive reaction was to carefully retreat and stay away from here, absolutely not to anger it.

Manman took a few steps back. The Hammerhead Rhino's mood seemed less intense than before. Yang Mu carefully asked everyone to continue to retreat and wait until the jungle blocked the mecha's figure before leaving quickly.

But at this moment, the rhinoceros suddenly glanced behind its tail, and then roared loudly again. At the same time, the huge rhinoceros began to take steps and rushed towards Yang Mu.

"Don't shoot!"

Seeing Ji Mo and others in the distance raising their guns at this time, Yang Mu quickly shouted on the channel to stop them.

In this situation, let's not talk about whether the bullet can penetrate the shell of the rhinoceros. If it penetrates, it will definitely anger it, and then he will face greater danger.

Hearing Yang Mu's words, the team members loosened their triggers slightly, but still looked nervously in Yang Mu's direction.

At this time, the rhinoceros rushed towards Yang Mu with heavy steps. Yang Mu watched the charging rhino nervously, then put the rifle back on the weapon rack, manipulated the fuselage into a posture, and prepared to react when the opponent came into contact with him. Take evasive action immediately.

As the rhinoceros got closer and closer, sweat gradually appeared on Yang Mu's head, and his eyes were covered with sweat. Yang Mu did not dare to wipe them away and stared at the rhinoceros charging towards him.

The next second, the rhinoceros had rushed in front of Yang Mu. Yang Mu subconsciously controlled the mecha to avoid it and passed by the rhinoceros.

But then Yang Mu turned around and was surprised to find that the rhino was not attacking him at all. After passing by him, the rhino ran deep into the forest without looking back, leaving behind a group of people. The team members looked confused.

"What...what's going on?" the team member asked in confusion.

"Yang Mu, are you okay?" Ji Mo watched the rhinoceros leave and quickly came over and asked.

Yang Mu frowned, sensing something was wrong with this matter, but he couldn't explain it.

"This rhinoceros is really big. I have never seen such a big creature in my life."

"No, I heard that there are many such things on this planet, and they are all so big that they are deadly."

The crisis was over, and everyone relaxed a little. Didn't they say a few words to ease the tense atmosphere just now?

But Yang Mu stood there, still feeling that something was wrong. He couldn't figure it out, so Yang Mu gave an order to the team members.

"Everyone, please leave here immediately. I always feel like something is wrong here."

After Yang Mu's words came out, the banter of several team members came to an abrupt end. Everyone was a little stunned, but Yang Mu had already controlled the mecha and walked towards the camp.

Upon seeing this, the team members followed suit.

At this moment, in the opposite direction from where the rhinoceros left, some rustling sounds came.

Yang Mu immediately noticed the situation, turned around and looked at the situation in the jungle in the distance. Yang Mu suddenly felt something was wrong.
