Lieutenant Colonel Dundee originally looked dispirited, but now he was brimming with energy. When Sheyan and Mogensha arrived, he was pacing back and forth in the base. His mouth was holding onto a thick premium cigar, emitting faint blue smoke. It seems like this group of people had reaped a bountiful harvest from their search for the wreckage. Seeing the two of them, Lieutenant Colonel Dundee removed his cigar and welcomed them with a gratified expression.
"Beautifully done! Lads. In view of your success, the Blackthorn tribe has already removed the parasites from our bodies. Come, let me introduce you. This is pilot Malan, his bravery has saved us. At the same time, the glory of God was also watching over him. When we carried out a rescue search on the wreckage of the spaceship, we actually discovered that although he was buried under dozens of tons of sand, he miraculously survived by relying on the automatic life support system of the spaceship!
Pilot Malan looked rather frail as he laid on the military bed. His face was pale and his body was thin. He coughed a few times and exposed a friendly smile to Sheyan and Mogensha. Sheyan and Mogensha simultaneously gave him a thumbs up. In the face of life and death, he was still able to prioritize his comrades. This was definitely worthy of respect.
Following that, the two of them unceremoniously sat down and ate lunch with the group of soldiers. Mushroom cream soup, bacon and bread, as well as a bag of turkey sandwiches. Their appetites were greatly stimulated. The two of them ate at least 5 portions of each soldier's food. Then they patted their stomachs and leaned against a nearby rock, squinting their eyes as they basked in the sun.
At this moment, Sergeant Tander who was operating a portable computer suddenly cried out in surprise. He then brought the computer to Lieutenant Colonel Dundee.
"Connected sir, but requires a high authority password to verify your identity."
Lieutenant Colonel Dundee nodded, his expression solemn as he keyed in a string of passwords. Following that, a series of messages popped up. Lieutenant Colonel Dundee repeatedly tapped on the keyboard to communicate. After a while, he passed the portable computer to pilot Malan. Malan strenuously keyed in the password, replying with a few sentences. It seems like even the higher ups needed to verify his identity. Not long after, Lieutenant Colonel Dundee received a series of instructions, nodding his head incessantly. Then the communication ended.
Lieutenant Colonel Dundee pondered for a while before raising his head. With a gloomy face, he said.
"Damn it, those bastard bureaucrats are doubting our current situation. That's because we're one of the few teams that managed to communicate with the insectoids and survive. They think we might be under the control of the Cerebrate. But for the mother planet, the development progress on this planet was far behind other colonial planets. There was no direct base at all, and even the relationship with the Iron Whip base was only a cooperative relationship. Hence, the goodwill of the Blackthorn tribe is indeed a great opportunity. Hence, my superiors requested for the Blackthorn tribe to continue expressing their sincerity. "
Pilot Malan said weakly.
"What sincerity?"
Lieutenant Colonel Dundee replied.
"Ma Lan, you're a pilot, so you should know very well that the Zerg have set up close to six Giant Spore Fungus anti-air turrets below the Golden Sea Route to Planet P. Any human aircraft that passed through here would be severely threatened. Coincidentally, the 6 Giant Spore Colonies are located about 400 kilometres east of here. If the Blackthorn tribe is sincere in cooperating with us, then we'll destroy them. In return, we'll gift you 20 siege tanks to assist the Blackthorn tribe in their defence. "
Concurrently, Sheyan and Mogensha simultaneously received the notification.
"You've received a side mission: 'Annihilation of the Giant Spore Colonies'."
"Mission difficulty: B +."
"Mission details: Within 72 hours, destroy at least one Giant Spore Colony."
"Mission details: For every Giant Spore Colony destroyed, you'll receive additional rewards from the humans."
"Do you wish to accept this mission, yes/no?"
"If this mission fails, then your highest attribute will be reduced by 2 points, and your achievement points will be reduced by 10 points."
"You must make your choice within 10 seconds."
Once they saw the mission difficulty, Sheyan and Mogensha's pupils contracted. A B + difficulty mission! This was the most difficult mission Sheyan had ever encountered! Not one of them. Moreover, the punishment for failing this mission was shockingly high! At this moment, Mogensha faintly shook his head with thoughts of retreating. Based on the current situation, their vested interests were already pretty good. The most important thing now was to raise their arachnid reputation to 'Worshipped' and see what items they could exchange for. There was no need to challenge their limits.
"B + difficulty mission … … .the punishment for failure is still so high." Sheyan muttered for a while, then called the goblin Jinkuang over, allowing him to accept the mission on his behalf. He then spoke to Mogensha. "This is my personal choice, there's no lack of gambling involved. You can choose according to your own thoughts."
Mogensha naturally shrugged his shoulders helplessly, choosing to reject this mission. He had always been a person who sought stability. But any formidable gunman, his patience was definitely not bad. If not, his head would've long been blasted off by a sniper on the battlefield. After rejecting the mission, his entire body felt incomparably relaxed. He couldn't help but cast a pitiful glance at Sheyan. In his heart, he knew that Seaman's weakness should be his gambling nature. In the future, if they were to be in the same party, he would have to avoid this problem.
After accepting this mission, Sheyan instantly received a reputation reward from the humans. Strangely, his arachnid reputation also rose accordingly. Probably because the Blackthorn tribe could reap some benefits from the destruction of the arachnid, both sides simultaneously received 1500 reputation points. Sheyan also received the authority to mobilize the Pebbles special forces for free twice. After accepting the mission, Sheyan remained calm and unhurried. He wasn't in a rush to complete the mission, but directly sat down and pondered.
Approximately half an hour later, Sheyan finally frowned and said.
"Do you remember before we came here, we encountered a battlefield where the arachnids were slaughtering each other?"
Mogensha nodded and replied.
"That's right, we even slayed a legendary creature 'Scorching Mouth' there."
Sheyan shook his head and replied.
"That's the most suspicious point."
Just as he finished his sentence, several black shadows suddenly flew over from the distant horizon. Those black shadows couldn't be seen clearly from afar, but when Lieutenant Colonel Dundee used his binoculars to observe, his expression instantly changed.
"Not good! The Blackthorn tribe's Overlords are being besieged! "
After he finished speaking, Sheyan and the rest also discovered that those black shadows were actually arachnid mutalisks. They were currently pursuing 5-6 Blackthorn tribe Overlords in a frenzy. These mutalisks were specialized in flight within the atmosphere. Their bodies were much smaller than the ones they encountered in the universe. However, their might was equally formidable. Their yellow-green spore bullets released mournful screeches in the air. After striking their target, they would ricochet off. Fortunately, the distance between the Overlords was rather far apart, if not they would've been injured by the spore bullets.
Although the Blackthorn tribe Overlords were flying with all their might, they weren't like the elite variant Overlords like 'Shenxu'. Their movement speed was much slower, unless the Mother nest was upgraded to a 'II' class base. Then, the flying speed and transportation capabilities of the Overlords would be enhanced! Before that, the mutalisks' flying speed was at least 3-4 times faster than the Overlords. Naturally, they couldn't escape the claws of the Overlords.
One by one, the Overlords exploded into a bloody mist in mid-air. The final Blackthorn tribe Overlord had successfully neared the base. Those mutalisks weren't willing to give up, as they continued their pursuit. But when they viciously pounced towards the final Overlord, a series of violent gunshots suddenly resounded from below! Indeed, the Pebbles special forces couldn't sit idly by and watch as their allies were slaughtered. They quickly set up a small trap, and as expected, those mutalisks successfully fell into it.
High speed bullets carried blazing flames as they shuttled through the air. At this moment, these mutalisks, regardless of size or size, couldn't be compared to those that could snipe the transports in space. But they were still 5-6 metres long, and had a wingspan of 4-5 metres. The firepower of the Pebbles special forces was relatively strong, in a flash, a mutalisk was slaughtered by the storm of bullets. But it immediately infuriated the rest of the mutalisks, as they scattered and pounced towards the Pebbles special forces.
At this moment, a faint white light suddenly flashed on the bodies of all the Pebbles Special Forces members. Of course, there were also sighs of pleasure! This was the sign of stimulants. Their movement speed instantly soared to the peak. Although everyone seemed to have gathered together, in actual fact, at the moment when those mutalisks swooped down, everyone in the encirclement opened fire and sprinted towards different directions. That change in formation, was like a flower blossoming in all directions!
In a flash, another two mutalisks were slain, as they exploded into a huge cloud of blood mist. But they similarly possessed the fearlessness and insanity of the arachnids, as they stubbornly chased after Lieutenant Colonel Dundee. Because Lieutenant Colonel Dundee had been injected with stimulants, and his movement speed wasn't necessarily slower than the mutalisks. But he still had to retreat and fire at the same time, which naturally caused his speed to slow down considerably. Consecutively, he was struck by the mutalisks' mutalisks. His battle armour was also burnt with holes by the yellowish green corrosive fluid. (To be continued.) If you like this work, I welcome you to vote for it on qidian.com.
