After a while, the "Unicorn Beetle" shuttle that came to support ran out of ammunition, but it obviously didn't intend to land. Probably because of its amazing weight, it was difficult to find a suitable landing site.
However, it circled twice in the air, and after launching a few incendiary rockets toward the area where people might be hiding, it began to slowly land on the ground. Then, it turned on the hovering mode at a height of about 10 meters.
Immediately afterward, people jumped down directly from the belly of the shuttle one after another. At this time, although Fang Linyan had escaped 3 to 4 kilometers away, he still left the mechanical spear falcon here to monitor.
So in the vision shared by the mechanical spear falcon, he suddenly found that those who jumped down from the shuttle should be warriors from the space. Among them, the tyrannical Growth Hunter, Merte, was among them.
Fang Linyan also knew another acquaintance, mainly because the emerald green bow on her back was too eye-catching. She was Daisy who had once besieged Fang Linyan.
As for the Growth Hunter: Astrologer Deng Linyan didn't know him, but this guy was quite eye-catching when he jumped down from the plane.
He was completely different from the others who landed like a rock. Instead, it was as if there were layers of translucent stairs in front of him, and he used a very calm and leisurely way to descend.
Not only that, Deng seemed to feel something after Fang Linyan's gaze fell on him. He smiled slightly, then turned his head and looked over.
Of course, Deng was looking at the eyes of the mechanical spear falcon disguised as a spore moth at this time.
In the next second, the screen went black directly, and a message came from Fang Linyan's battle prompt,
"Contractor ZB419, your summoned creature mechanical spear falcon is under attack!"
"The health value of your summoned creature mechanical spear falcon has reached 0."
Feeling the strong malice emanating from this guy, Fang Linyan also narrowed his eyes, knowing that the enemy who could restrain him had arrived.
The federal army was obviously in an advantageous position, not to mention the encirclement and suppression of the Growth Hunters. Even with the geographical advantage, it was obvious that the next few days would be very difficult.
Thinking of this, Fang Linyan became more and more glad that he successfully organized this assault before the opponent gained a foothold. Not only did he defeat the opponent's intention to gain a foothold, but he also got a lot of supplies from the camp.
At the very least, the federal army would have to spend the night in fear. In other words, the camp would only be able to operate normally tomorrow.
This obviously slowed down the other party's progress greatly. At this moment, the dozen or so hours that they had gained might be the key to victory or defeat in the end.
***
Dusk fell.
A faint mist began to spread in the Ball Fern Swamp, even forming a flowing veil.
When they passed through the fungus forest, the layer of smoke was dyed with a faint yellow or red color. It had an indescribable beauty to it.
At the same time, a creature called Black-Striped Frog living in the swamp began to cry loudly. This creature was probably similar to a Salamander. Although it was called a frog, its skin looked similar to a toad.
Its hunting method was to shoot out its fangs from its mouth. Within a short distance, its fangs were extremely lethal, just like sharp arrows.
If a normal person was hit by it, it would be no different from being hit by an arrow, let alone the prey it had set its eyes on.
There were also a large number of insects similar to crickets, centipedes, and so on. They couldn't wait to rub the generators on their wings and join the chorus.
Fang Linyan and the other two stood on a large rock, looking at the wonderful swamp in front of them.
In their hearts, this Alien Star Swamp was full of death and toxins. It would definitely be dangerous after nightfall.
But if a bystander or a zoologist looked at this place with a leisurely attitude, they would find that this place was full of vitality; there were active new lives everywhere.
Beside the 3 of them was a giant fern as huge as a tree.
Its appearance was like an iron tree. At the top of the short and thick cylindrical trunk with a diameter of 7 or 8 meters, there were more than a dozen feather-like leaves. The shortest one could reach more than 8 meters.
Looking from a distance, the shape of this thing was quite similar to a feather shuttlecock.
Taking a closer look, each leaf had silver veins on it. It looked very beautiful, and the buds were in the classic shape of a fist.
Of course, the most remarkable feature of this plant was that in the center of the canopy, there were a large number of basketball-sized golden fruits.
The fruit was perfectly round and looked very good. Its shell was very tough, and after the flesh of the fruit ripened, it would quickly ferment and produce a large amount of gas until the whole fruit burst open with a bang.
A large number of golden seeds that looked like watermelon seeds inside would also fly dozens of meters away during the explosion at this moment. If there was still wind at that time, it would not be surprising to fly 1 or 2 kilometers away.
Such an anomaly made botanists name this giant fern as ball fern. On this planet, ball ferns were the most abundant here, so it was named ball fern swamp.
At this time, Fang Linyan and the other two were covered by the wide feather-like leaves of ball fern, so even if the enemy had any aerial detection methods, it was difficult to succeed.
About 10 meters to the right of Fang Linyan and the other two, there was a concave land with a diameter of 50 to 60 meters, but the bottom was very dry and stony.
On the stone wall next to the concave land, there was a hole about 5 meters high and 10 meters wide. This was the entrance to the secret base of the Red Shuttle Pirate codenamed C7.
Because there were giant ferns and large fungi everywhere, even if they flew at an extremely low altitude, it was difficult to find this place.
Not only that, there were also many large plants and fungi around, so even if the Red Shuttle Pirate and others left any traces nearby, they would be covered tightly.
Here, Fang Linyan and the other two were also equipped with the portable terminal wristwatch of Capsule Technology. They could also read the various information shared by the pirates immediately.
The goat's nose suddenly twitched a few times and said,
"So fragrant! Are they starting to cook dinner? "
Sure enough, not long after, Lieutenant Colonel Damoke walked out and greeted the 3 of them to come in and eat.
Although this underground base was located in a swamp, it was quite dry and spacious. Especially its area, it was estimated to be at least tens of thousands of square meters.
There were more than 50 bedrooms, 12 large and small warehouses, and even the toilet in the toilet, bathroom, and other auxiliary living facilities were all equipped.
At first, Fang Linyan was a little surprised by the unusually huge amount of work in this underground base, but after taking a closer look, he found that the structure was actually a little familiar.
After Fang Linyan saw the traces on the cave wall next to him, he suddenly realized:
It was obvious that the place had been dug out by the Giant Blood Worms. The overall layout was almost the same as the nest of the Giant Blood Worms, except that it gave a different feeling after the Red Shuttle Space Pirates carefully modified it.
Fang Linyan also walked into the room arranged for them and took a look. He found that except for the lack of windows, it looked quite similar to the hotel furnishings in the Tortuga Starport. It was so complete that it was hard to believe his eyes.
Not only that, compared to the federal army, the treatment of the Red Shuttle Pirate was much better:
For example, a rationing system was implemented. Once they were about to go to war, they could apply for free rationing, which included weapons, ammunition, medical kits, etc.
After Fang Linyan and the other two heard it, they decisively decided to start plundering from tomorrow. Although these things that they distributed could neither be sold nor brought out of this world, they could also save money by using them to replace other consumables …
Under the lead of Lieutenant Colonel Damoke, they came to the dining room. It was about 60 square meters with 8 square tables inside. The air was full of the aroma of food. Several tables had already started eating.
The rule of the space pirates was to eat directly when there were 4 people at a table. Fang Linyan and the other 2 plus Lieutenant Colonel Damoke just filled a table.
A space pirate with a dirty white chef's hat directly moved 3 bowls to their table,
2 big and 1 small bowls.
Then he signaled that the knives, forks, and stainless steel plates were on the shelf next to him. After eating, the dirty plates had to be placed in the designated place.
The 2 big bowls were filled with staple food, namely pasta and hot toast.
In the relatively small bowl, there was a bowl of yellow paste that looked very ordinary, but it smelled fragrant.
It could be used to mix pasta or spread on bread.
Fang Linyan scooped a spoonful and tasted it. He realized that he really couldn't judge a book by its cover. Oh no, it should be judging by its cover. He didn't know if it was because he was hungry, but he actually felt that this thing tasted great.
