By the time he received the notification that the mining operation was complete, Silin's side was almost done with his work.
The transport car had transported the seeds Czedow had prepared and the raw materials Likrabe and the others had chosen to the spaceplane. Huimao and the others were also eating until they were full. They were all very satisfied with their harvest.
"Let's go. We can come back if we need anything."
Silin gathered everyone and returned to the mining site. After a quick inspection, everyone boarded the spaceplane and returned to the starship parked outside the planet. Then, they began their return journey.
Every squad's operation time was different. When Cillin and the others returned, there were still three squads mining energy and metal ores outside.
"How's the harvest?" Shotton asked Silin while looking at a group of people unloading cargo not far away.
Celine smiled. It was obvious that she was quite satisfied with the rewards of this voyage.
"Not bad. We didn't find any good metal ores, but the energy ores are passable. More importantly, we managed to transplant some of the more important plants to the planet. We'll be able to save a lot of raw materials, and the potency and quality of the medicine won't be too bad."
The specific situation of that planet had already been submitted to the technical team. The technical team of the Sixth B Squadron would combine the information collected by the various squads and perfect the star map. Every once in a while, they would report it to the relevant personnel of the A Squadron so that the star map of the Vanguard's area would be more detailed and convenient for their future operations.
Silin and Shotton chatted for a bit before arriving at Sigma's Little Garden.
In the past, Sigma had only planted a few low-grade native plants in this small garden. Although the area was quite large, there wasn't much substance to it. Sigma had only come up with the idea after watching some of the old media videos stored in the base. However, after putting it into practice, he discovered that there weren't many species to be planted. There were only large patches of weeds, unlike the colorful gardens in the videos. Sigma had no idea what to plant in this small garden.
This time, however, Sigma's Little Garden was more than fulfilling.
Previously, he had stored some of the fish eggs sealed in the starship's aquarium and given them to Sigma to keep in its little garden. Now that he had transplanted these trees, Sigma believed that it wouldn't be long before the little garden became a sight to behold.
Right now, Wheeze and the others were spending almost all of their time in Sigma's little garden coming up with random ideas. They had very little experience in planting, so all they could do was spout nonsense. The good news was that Sigma had done some research in this area, and Czedow was there to help stabilize their morale. More than ninety percent of the transplanted trees had survived.
There were still a few eggs in Sigma's garden. They were Lovag's eggs. The Lovag guardian beast had entered a breeding season, but Sigma was in charge of incubating its eggs. Right now, the little garden's environment was perfect for incubation, so there was no need for special equipment to control the temperature and humidity of the eggs.
A few days later, six or seven second-generation Lovags had hatched.
The Lovags were omnivores. According to Sigma, they ate a wide variety of foods and were very resistant to hunger. The newborn Lovags, however, weren't as resistant to hunger. Since there wasn't any extra meat, they had no choice but to eat vegetables and feed them nutrient drinks to replenish the nutrients they needed to grow.
The first generation of Lovag Beasts had definitely eaten meat before, and most of them were probably humans. This was Cillin's judgment. When he first came to this place and encountered the Lovag Beasts, the Lovag Beasts looked at him like they were looking at a familiar prey.
These little fellows who had just been born not too long ago looked at people with very kind eyes. Perhaps the chip that replaced their brains had an executive program like that, but they had never killed or eaten meat before. He couldn't bring these little fellows along when he went out to mine, so Cillin was wondering when he should catch some 'bugs' for these little fellows to eat.
Cillin didn't go looking for the 'worm'. Not long after he made up his mind, something happened on the planet before he could carry out his next operation.
On this day, Shawton looked at the situation of the operations of the various squads in his hands. He wanted to make a summary because in a few days, the A Squadron would send someone over to check on the development of the B Squadrons and reward the best with resources.
Shotton was engrossed in reading when he suddenly received an urgent notification from a team member.
"Commander, there's a spaceplane flying toward us. We didn't get a reply to the warning we sent. All we got was a continuous distress signal. What should we do?"
Normally, an unknown flying object would be warned first, and if the warning didn't work, they would shoot. However, the spaceplane kept sending distress signals, and no one responded to the Sixth Division's communication link.
"Are there any signs of life on it?" Shotton asked.
"There are signs of life on it, but they're not obvious. They're almost completely still, so we can't get any other information."
"No results from scanning the spaceplane?"
"No, at least there are no parasites or viruses on the outside of the spaceplane," the team member replied.
Shotton thought for a moment and asked, "How long until it arrives?"
"About five minutes. Based on the spaceplane's flight trajectory, it will be outside the base's range when it reaches our planet. The coordinates are … "
The team member reported some of the analyzed data to Shotton.
"Pay close attention."
Shotton's intention was to let the spaceplane land, but they had to be on guard. Whether the spaceplane was a threat or not, they had to treat it as a threat and not fight a battle unprepared.
"Yes, Commander." After the report was done, the team member began to do the follow-up work. His voice sounded more excited, and it was obvious that he was looking forward to a target to vent his boredom during this period of time.
After ending the communication with the team member, Shotton connected to another communicator.
"Attention all squads. Attention all squads. An unidentified spaceplane is about to arrive on this planet …"
Shotton informed everyone in the base of the situation. Everyone knew what to do next.
Some of the people who were sleeping got up, grabbed their weapons and ran out excitedly to meet up with their team members.
Silin was observing the growth of the trees in Sigma's Little Garden. Some of the trees had already begun to bear fruit. When he heard Shotton's notification, he put down the fruit in his hand and walked out.
The blue bar on Sigma's face flashed, and it quickly understood the situation through the base's reconnaissance device. But today was different. It didn't need to do anything. The Sixth Division would make their move, so Sigma was very curious about what they were going to do. He ordered the little Lovag on his arm to jump to the ground and left the Little Garden.
Once everyone was gathered and assigned, there was no need for detailed instructions. This kind of cooperation had been done many times before.
"Alright, that's it. Let's move out. Pay attention to your defenses."
As soon as Celine finished speaking, the group of people eagerly grabbed their weapons and armed themselves to the teeth and left.
"What's wrong, Tico?" Silin asked when he saw Tico standing there with a frown on her face.
"Something's wrong."
Tico pointed at the rabbit nestled in her coat pocket with her chin. Right now, the rabbit's ears were drooping and its head was buried as if it was trying to hide from something.
After checking the rabbit's status, Silin turned on the communicator. "Attention, everyone! Level one alert! Level one alert! "
The cheerful Kari and the others immediately turned serious. Silin wouldn't casually say Level one alert. If he did, then it had to be a very dangerous target.
After receiving Silin's message, Shotton asked Silin how he came up with the conclusion. Silin only said that it was a hunch.
Although he didn't know why Silin said that, Shotton still ordered the squad to be on Level one alert.
It was too late to destroy the spaceplane. Destroying it would affect the satellites orbiting the planet, and if it got too close, it could affect the planet's B-class livable environment. They could only go on Level one alert.
"Level one alert? Are you kidding me? Didn't you say it was a spaceplane the size of a fart? Is it that dangerous? "Some of the team members complained. After all, Level one alert was not a joke.
At this time, the spaceplane had already passed through the atmosphere and was falling somewhere not far from the base.
The people on the ground were already waiting not far from the estimated landing point. In the air, there were people piloting the fighter jet. Although Udoze's hands were sweaty, his control was still stable.
Level one alert.
Boom!
The spaceplane crashed into the ground, creating a deep crater. The spaceplane was also largely damaged.
Some of the team members wanted to rush up to take a look, but they were stopped. If it wasn't for Level one alert, they would have definitely gone up to take a look. But now, they couldn't.
Creak! Creak!
The sound of the hatch opening was heard. Through the images from the satellites in space and the monitors floating around the crater, everyone saw that there were eight holes on the top of the spaceplane. It wasn't the hatch they had imagined.
There was no logo on the spaceplane. There was no representative stamp or serial number, so they didn't know who was on the spaceplane.
The spaceplane was still sending out a distress signal, but no one was in the mood to save anyone right now. As hunters, they had been through too much, and they wouldn't lower their guard just because someone was asking for help.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Eight cylinders were ejected from the spaceplane and flew in different directions. Each cylinder could only hold one human. Half of the cylinders were transparent, and through the transparent wall, they could see that the spaceplane was filled with humans. There were men and women, young and old, but they all looked like ordinary people.
They looked like ordinary humans.
Eight more cylinders flew out before the first one even hit the ground.
Round after round of cylinders were ejected. Some landed directly on the ground, while others opened their parachutes in the air. However, based on their speed of descent, it would take at least two minutes for them to reach the ground. They were the targets of the fighter jets.
Lying on Sigma's back, Xueqiu suddenly felt uneasy and angry. It was a familiar yet annoying feeling, and it couldn't help but feel the urge to rush up and start killing.
Aside from Xueqiu, Chifeng felt the same way. A threatening growl escaped from his throat.
Noticing the two fellows' reactions, Celine signaled everyone with his eyes to be on high alert.
The cylinder closest to Silin's group stood upright. Through the transparent wall, they could see a woman in her twenties inside. She wore a knee-length skirt, had fair skin, and had a nice figure. Her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes made people want to caress them.
One of the team members gulped. Holy shit, it really is a murder weapon.
There were a few more cylinders like this one around them. There were at least ten of them in front of each team, and there were even more farther away. Some of the cylinders were filled with cute children, just like the first time Silin met Tang Qiuqiu. They had pink cheeks, and they looked innocent even with their eyes closed.
The uneasiness in Silin's heart grew stronger as he thought of something.
The doors of the cylinders were obviously reinforced. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been damaged even if they fell to the ground.
The moment the cabin door opened, Cillin fired multiple shots, and the people inside the cabin were all shot in the forehead. The woman was one of them.
Everyone was wondering why Silin acted so quickly. Wasn't he being too impulsive? However, the next moment, everyone felt their hair stand on end.
Although the people who were shot by Cillin's glabella were bleeding, the rate of blood loss wasn't as fast as a normal person who was shot. Only a tiny bit of blood flowed out of their wounds, and none of them had fallen to the ground.
"What the hell is going on …"
Before Kari could finish, the people opened their eyes almost at the same time. Their eyes were blank and unfocused.
Everyone felt a chill hit them in the face, and they started firing without hesitation.
But while they were firing, the people inside the cylinders began to change.
Their bodies began to grow taller and swell. Before the blood on their cracked skin could flow down, they were covered by new skin. The new skin was pale, pale and bloodless.
The beautiful woman had become as hideous as a monster. The meridians all over her body wriggled rapidly, and her fair arms were mixed with more and more pale and blood. They quickly thickened, and her slender fingers became like the claws of an eagle. There were even lines of lines on them.
The splattered flesh and blood did not affect the people's mutation. Instead, it seemed to have stimulated the blood of these monsters. They let out terrifying roars and rushed towards Silin's group.
Every step they took made Silin and the others tremble. Although these mutated monsters were huge, their movements were quite fast and they could dodge the shots.
This was still a planet on the ground. After the cylinders in the air opened up, the people who walked out of them also began to mutate during the landing process. Bat-like wings spread out on their backs, but they were not like the membranes of bats. Their wings were thicker, and every flap could quickly change the airflow, allowing them to fly in the air flexibly and avoid the attacks of the fighter jets.
Udoze controlled the fighter jet to attack one of the monsters. These monsters were very agile and had a high sense of danger, so it was difficult to lock on to them. Their long claws easily left deep marks on the fighter jet, so while attacking, they had to control their close contact with these monsters.
One of the fighter jet's wing was wrapped by the long tongue of a monster. The saliva on the monster's tongue was highly corrosive, and it corroded the wing. If Udoze had not cut off the long tongue in time, one-third of the fighter jet's wing would have been destroyed, and its flight would have been affected. If that had happened, they would have been in danger.
The monster that had its tongue severed by Udoze opened its mouth and screamed. The severed tongue was rapidly recovering, but when the monster swung its tongue, its saliva splattered onto a fighter that happened to be flying past, and two holes were corroded into the wing of the fighter.
The situation in the air was more difficult, and the situation on the ground was not easy either.
These Bio-Humans had obviously undergone biochemical modification, and even if their heads were cut off, they would not die. This undoubtedly made the situation even more difficult for the team.
This guy was simply a human-shaped weapon. This was definitely a premeditated incident!!
Silin took out something that looked like a bow. An energy stone the size of a child's fist was installed on it. He aimed it at the monster at the front and pressed the button.
Whoosh!
An arc of light shot straight at the monster, cutting it vertically in half.
The strange thing was, the monster that was cut in half did not bleed much. The green blood mixed with the blood seemed to have solidified, sticking tightly to the piece of meat.
What was even more shocking was that the monster that was cut in half began to change. The cut began to heal, and then grew, until it became a complete body.
In other words, the person that was cut in half was like some kind of animal that grew into two independent bodies!
It was useless! It was useless even if it was cut in half!
What was going on?
Cary raised his cannon and tried to blast them to smithereens, but these monsters' super high foresight didn't give him a chance to aim at all. As soon as Cary's cannon moved over, the monsters dodged out of the way.
"F * ck, damn it, this is too fast!" Kari could not help but curse after his first blast missed the monster.
"Vice-captain, what do we do now?" someone asked.
They had already taken out their light sabers. Of course, they were not afraid of a direct melee. However, after seeing the scene of one turning into two, everyone was a little hesitant. If they were split into five pieces, would one turn into five? No one could say for sure.
Therefore, they were now in a predicament, a predicament that they did not know what to do.
Silin had not been in contact with these guys for long. He did not have the time to analyze why these guys had such insane abilities. Do I have to grind them into mud?
As soon as Silin thought that, a long scream came from the base.
"Yiya —"
The scream this time was much louder than the one Silin had encountered. It was so piercing that it felt like his eardrums were going to burst.
The people from the Sixth Division were not the most angry when these modified humans barged into the base, but the Lovag Guardian Beasts. Their mission was to protect the base on this planet, and these new monsters had undoubtedly crossed the line.
"Yiya —"
There was another sharp whistle.
The Lovag Beasts rushed over one after another. There were some on the ground and in the air. Behind them, some of the younger Lovag Beasts followed the adult Lovag Beasts, waving their pincers excitedly.
