Looking at the expression of zero doubt, Cario smiled. The instructor sat down on his chair, pointed to the chair in front of the desk and motioned zero to sit down. Kario said with a smile, "you see, the new recruits of the hammer of destruction are not recruited all the time. After all, there are not many recruits with an average level of more than three. Therefore, the training camp you have stayed in will be opened once or twice a year. But the damn bourgeoisie won't let me idle the rest of the time, so you have to work as a task dispatcher when you are free."

If valkiri were here, he would be dissatisfied with Cario's statement. Asgat gave him the responsibility not as a simple task officer, but as a first-class strategic staff officer. The task release of the command is only a small part of his work. Kario's main work is to be responsible for the strategic planning and dispatching of the whole asgat. In the headquarters, he has a high voice.

Naturally, zero doesn't know about these. So he just nodded and asked, "instructor, your injury..."

"Don't bother, Angela Gullit is not qualified to kill me. In fact, I can heal this little injury without entering the culture tank." Cario said very hard. He seemed to think of something and waved his hand in frustration, as if to sweep away the topic of discussion between the two people. He said, "to get back to business, let the golden cat call you up this time. It's a task to bargain you."

The word "cheap" made zero's nerve jump gently to his understanding of Cario. The so-called cheap thing of the chief instructor is usually linked to the difficulty.

Cario continuously input some commands on the light key in the corner of the table, and the shading curtain is automatically lowered with the office window. The wall behind kario also turned out a light screen, which showed a topographic map to the west of the Julian mountains. On this 5000 kilometer topographic map, a blue light band extends from asgat to the permafrost plateau in the West. On this light band, there are red and green light spots flashing.

Cario explained: "these two colors of light spots represent the alien we have found so far. Green light spots represent friendship, and red naturally represents hostile relations..."

There are seven red and green spots on the blue band. They were blinking, and suddenly a green light spot went out and turned gray.

"That's your task," said Cario, pointing to the gray light spot. "Aaron, an alien shaped like a half human bird, retains the ability of birds to fly, has the intelligence equivalent to that of adult humans, and has begun to use simple weapons."

As he spoke, a three-dimensional model of a half human bird appeared on the light screen. It has a human like upright body, but its arms are connected to the side of the body like a pterodactyl. Aaron's model holds a long gun and automatically makes some stabbing movements. The action is simple but very practical. It belongs to effective field fighting.

"This gray light spot is the village of the Asian nation. The village is small and there are more than 100 Aaron. In these friendly alien territories, we all have life monitors. Just a few days ago, the life monitors set in the Aaron village showed that all life in the village has disappeared. It is not invasion, but extinction, and there is no life response." Cario said as he smoked: "In this regard, the headquarters issued a series of orders, including investigating the causes of Aaron's death and annihilating them if foreign enemies invade. Originally, this order was to be issued in the morning. Just when I saw you back, I let you perform it. This is a D1 level task. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have the authority to accept this task according to your team's rating."

The headquarters classifies the tasks according to their difficulty. From low to high, they are e, D, C, B, a and S. among them, each level is divided into three levels from 1 to 3. Since the zero team has only E level, it is natural that it can not accept D level tasks, so it directly throws the unpublished tasks to zero, and kario can say that he has taken great care of him.

Zero naturally has no reason to refuse.

"Go and finish it beautifully. Then invite me to dinner!" Cario smiled.

After he left, Cario's smile gradually disappeared and even became a little solemn.

The reason for the extinction of the Aaron people is not simple. The adult individuals of these half bird people have the third-order strength and agility equivalent to human abilities. Coupled with their simple and practical stabbing skills, it is not a pleasant thing to be entangled by them in close combat. It is not difficult to kill one or two half bird people, but it is not easy to kill the whole Aaron people.

The reason why the command issued this task is to find out whether the reason for the extinction of the Aaron nationality is disease, species conflict, or man-made deliberate action. If the first two are good, if the latter is good, asgat must consider updating the monitoring mode and strengthening the monitoring force.

When he thought of this problem, kario naturally thought of what happened in the Cossacks military base. After he and valkiri woke up, they immediately reported to Ben about the use of the command release system of the headquarters. Ben naturally paid attention to this matter and asked them to investigate it secretly. But until today, they still have no clue.

The person behind the scenes is skillful and clean, and can't find any relevant clues at all. Cario is very clear that this investigation should not be completed in a short time. The chief instructor is not a patient person, so Cario has already handed over the work to valkiri.

He turned his head and looked at the virtual sky outside the window. His mood was very complex. Beneath the surface of peace, Cario felt a strong unease. Anxiety, like an undercurrent, is surging against the reef of peace in asgat.

At the time of caryoo's attack and worrying about the safety of asgat, the city of God, zero, who has always only wanted to make money, has called Feng several people to drive the same rented off-road vehicle on the road. Along the main road connecting the north and south, it has been leaving asgat. After that long and dark passage, when the hydraulic gate is opened, the mountain walls used to cover up are divided equally on both sides, so a world of ice and snow appears in the eyes of the four of them.

The front baffle of the super wild car was removed, and the snow exhauster had been installed because of the need to walk in the snow. Snow remover is a peripheral component of the car, and its shape is a rectangular steel groove. There is a slit in the front of the steel groove. A strong attractor is installed in the slit, which will produce great suction to the space in front. The snow pile in front of the car is pumped into the steel groove, then rolled into powder by thousands of steel wheels hidden in it, and finally ejected by the hole snow exhausters on both sides.

With a thick white smoke at both ends of the car, the car drove forward at a constant speed of 40 kilometers per hour and gradually drove into the West wilderness covered with ice and snow. The speed of off-road vehicles is not fast, but it is rare in an environment where snow piles are up to three meters high. Today's weather is quite good. There is no wind or snow. The reddish sky reflects magnificent colors when the radiation clouds are full of ice crystals.

The color is magical, but it's a pity that people nowadays are not in the mood to appreciate it. It is not easy to live, and it is difficult to have the mood to see the scenery.

According to the instructions of the electronic map, the car drove past the periphery of the Cossacks military base. The land seemed to have been ploughed again, exposing the exposed strata. Even the wind and snow had no time to bury it all. From a distance, nearly half of the buildings on the surface of the base were damaged. From the other side, it is not difficult to see the fierce fighting situation on that day. However, less than a month apart, it makes people feel distant.

Continuing westward, there is an endless tundra. There are bumps in a flat River, which have become old trees frozen into frost columns. Life on the tundra is rare. Occasionally, several Fenli wolves run past. This kind of demon wolf is very alert. When the car is at least 300 meters away from them, it has found zero of these uninvited guests. They looked at the SUV with golden eyes, then let go of their four hoofs, ran like flying, and quickly left the sight of the zero and others.

Seeing this scene, Feng couldn't help sighing and had to enter the sniper gun borrowed from zero. He was going to shoot these evil wolves. After all, the fur of Fenli wolf is very popular with noble lords. Fur can be made into fur coats, or made into fur collars for decoration on coats to show their aristocratic atmosphere. A complete fur, if converted into merit value, is worth at least 300 points!

So the journey turned from the plain into the frost forest under the voice of maple's regret. The dense forest composed of conifers covers an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers and has become a natural barrier to isolate human civilization. There are dozens or even hundreds of unknown alien intelligent life forms inhabiting this dense forest and the land behind it. The expedition sent by asgat, the golden Tomahawk, only crossed the frost forest and reached the screaming Canyon 300 kilometers behind.

Frost dense forest, these conifer members are much taller and taller than their counterparts in the old times. They usually need ten people to hug, up to more than 300 meters. What's more, it is nearly 500 meters tall. In this way, the giant tree is covered with long needle like leaves, the leaves are fat and thick, and store the energy of the giant tree without losing too fast. When the cold winter comes, these needles become the food for the life that inhabits in this forest.

There is plenty of water in the plump needles and plant fiber to satisfy hunger. Although every conifer is covered with frost, the thick skin isolates the cold of frost and snow and preserves the rich nutrients in its leaves.

When the SUV drove into this forest, zero gave birth to the feeling of entering the giant country. Tall trees, like pillars that support heaven and earth, present a strange world in the eyes of a few people. Although it is a cold winter, there are still traces of life activities in the forest. The most common is an alien that is the size of a fox but looks like a wolf.

These mutants, called foxes, have two large fluffy tails, which enable them to glide briefly in the air. Fox wolves feed on needles. After eating these foods, a special organ in their body will digest part of the food and turn it into a kind of poison gas. When needed, foxes and wolves release toxic gas like skunks. The toxic gas released by them will not spread with the wind, but will spread in a certain range for a long time, so as to defend against the attack of other mutant animals.

In addition to the fox and wolf, there are several other creatures active. They chase in front of giant trees, grab food, or even kill to compete for their territory. But no matter what they are doing, they will flee as soon as they hear the sound of off-road vehicle engine, so that they can only see strange figures.

Aaron's village is in the dense forest. As there is no electronic map, it is not easy to find this half bird man's village in a place like a sea of trees. A few people also wandered around in the dense forest and finally found the location of the Aaron village. Obviously, a clearing cleared by felling has become the place for Aaron to build a village. From a distance, there are lots of thatched houses in the open space, which are very simple construction methods, and the materials of the house are also local materials. This half bird man's village let a few people experience the primitive customs.

According to asgat's records, the Aaron society is now equivalent to the primitive era of mankind. They are a matriarchal society, and the matriarchal Aaron people occupy the position of leader in the village. The male Aaron was responsible for hunting, construction and all other heavy work. In the records, not only the Aaron, but also other intelligent races have a longer reproductive cycle than the mutant, which is closer to the reproductive cycle of human beings in the old era.

However, after years of childbearing, the offspring still die prematurely in a very high proportion. If not, humans may not be able to defend the entire circle of civilization that occupies the coastline. From the first generation of Aaron to the present, it has been three generations of reproduction, but their ethnic group has only developed from the initial more than 20 people to the present population of more than 100. But even so, Aaron is already a more populous race among the recorded alien races in asgat.

The SUV stopped at the entrance of the Aaron village. It was just a wooden toon as a sign. There are three skeletons nailed to the wooden toon. From the appearance, there are humans, foxes and wolves, and a rare mutant giant toothed bear. Obviously, this Chinese toon is not only a sign of the village, but also a warning. However, judging from the current situation, this warning does not have much effect.

Half of the huts in the village were burned to ashes, leaving only traces of charring. In the open space of the village, there were many scorch marks baked by the fire. I'm afraid the fire was very fierce, and the fire temperature was so high that the ground was baked into a glass shape. Seeing this, four people frowned. In order to achieve the high temperature of baking the ground into glass, a sealed environment needs to be heated continuously. The village is ventilated on all sides, and the air flow is very obvious. Obviously, such an environment can not reach high temperature conditions.

Then the remaining possibility is the ability of the element domain. Using some capabilities of the element domain, it can indeed produce high-temperature energy damage in an open environment. The high-temperature energy that can crystallize the ground is at least a fifth order force. A fifth order elemental domain ability, no matter what type of elemental destruction he is proficient in, is a terrible opponent.

So several people immediately entered the combat state, with zero browning pistols, plain alloy epee and maple Tang Dao in hand. Only Ma Pei had empty hands, but the blood vessels under his skin began to open, so that he could transform into an armored rhinoceros at any time.

The village is very quiet. It's a little strange. The strange source was that there were no bodies. A few people swept the village back and forth several times, but they didn't find any Aaron bodies. The valuable thing found was only a life sensor turned into a piece of black carbon. From the traces of damage, it was also damaged by high heat attack.

It's not normal to have no bodies, although few scavenging beasts like corpse wolves exist in the frost forest. But now it's cold winter, and the body can stay fresh for a long time. Fresh meat is the favorite of many mutant animals, especially the intelligent life body of Aaron. Their flesh and blood is like a tonic for other mutant animals.

But even if these beasts come, the whole village can't even see the shadow of the body. The low intelligent mutant animals can't make such clean hands and feet.

"Keep looking." zero said faintly and gave this simple order.

This time, however, the four turned almost every corner of the village without leaving any trace. But whether they accept it or not, there is no suspicious place in the village except the traces of damage. It was not until the four men extended the scope to within 500 meters around the village that they found messy signs of battle in the East.

This is a forest nearly 500 meters away from the village. The bodies of Asian people can be seen occasionally on the nearby giant trees. The ground and several tree trunks show large areas of scorched marks, among which there are even several scorched corpses. In front of a huge tree, ten meters of crude wooden guns were inserted obliquely. The extremely sharp spear tip pierced the ground, and a piece of leather was deeply pierced under the spear tip of one of the war guns.

The leather is dark red with uneven edges and tear marks. It can be inferred that the Aaron people must have attacked those who destroyed their village by throwing guns in groups. But it's a pity that so many long guns only tear off each other's robes. Zero took the leather fragment out from under the gun and found that there was still a metal coil in the interlayer. This is a defensive interlayer. The metal coil not only plays a role in blocking attacks, but also plays a buffering effect because it has certain elasticity.

This kind of clothing with alloy coil as defense interlayer is expensive, at least not everyone can afford it. It can be seen that there are some sources of this ability to attack the Aaron people.

The trace of the battle took this place as the starting point and went deep into the dense forest in the southeast for about 1000 meters. On this journey, a few people found some Aaron bodies. Some of them were severely burned, others had been eaten by wild animals, and the scene was full of flesh and blood. But these bodies add up to less than half, and at least about 30 bodies are missing. At the edge of the battlefield, there are some irregular traces extending towards a downhill, which looks like the murderer dragged the body in that direction.

So a few people followed the trace and walked forward, and the terrain gradually decreased to form a small bend. At the bend slope, there is a vertical stone wall with a drop of 10 meters. Under the stone wall, there is a trench 100 meters long and 10 meters wide. This trench is like a scar on the ground, and on the other side of the trench, there is a black cave. Drag marks from the uphill slope also appear in the trench and extend into the cave on the other side.

The hole was dark, as if a giant beast opened its mouth and waited for its prey to come to the door!
