After settling everything, Sheyan pondered for a moment, probably feeling that his strength for this mission was still too weak. Following that, he mobilized the Pebbles special forces and Baiise's 3 firepower experts to assist him. Then, he prepared to set off. Instead, before he left, Mogensha hurriedly crawled into the Overlord's transport capsule. Flustered and exasperated, he scolded.
"Damn it, don't think of reaping benefits alone."
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
"You might be sending yourself to your death."
Mogensha chewed on his gum and replied unconcernedly.
"Damn it, I swear in the name of Tam tree, ever since I met you, you've never suffered a loss. On the contrary, I've suffered quite a bit."
Sheyan rolled his eyes and replied.
"Oh, I wasn't confident in Lieutenant Colonel Dundee's mission, that's why I let you choose. Since it's your own choice, then you can't blame me. "
Mogensha fastened the Overlord's two seatbelt tentacles, as he shook his head and replied.
"That's why I've chosen to follow you. Hey, I say, the host can only carry eight people, and if we include the storyline characters, there will be at least five people. Isn't it a little too few to only leave three seats? "
Sheyan calmly replied.
"I'm afraid there will be too many empty seats."
Sheyan's simple words, was enough to explain how unfavorable the situation was for Reef and the rest! While the two were conversing, the Overlord had already taken off. Under the escort of the two mutalisks, it flew towards the coordinates. The enhanced Overlord's flying speed was only slightly slower than the mutalisks. Riding within the mutalisks, the Overlord couldn't feel the wind outside. Because they wanted to avoid unnecessary troubles, both the Overlord and the mutalisks flew at their maximum altitude.
Looking down at the planet from a high altitude, one could see endless brown plains extending towards the distant horizon. Only in certain underground rifts would there be gray or brown vegetation. The mountain ranges were winding hills of less than a thousand meters. There was very little soil on them, and they were piled up with deeply cracked lead-gray rocks. One could even see the brute force of the earth's crust pushing up the rock faults forcefully.
Mogensha gazed at the magnificent scenery of the planet below, he suddenly asked.
"Didn't they say they could last for 6 more hours? Why are you so pessimistic? "
Sheyan sighed and said, "That's right.
"We've already witnessed the Blackthorn Overmind Mozi's exceedingly high battle intelligence. Based on the original storyline ….."
Speaking till here, Sheyan glanced at Baiise beside him. Noticing that Baiise and the other two sergeants had their eyes shut in meditation, it was obvious the realm had automatically blocked his words. Sheyan then continued.
"After the protagonist was trapped, the captain of the Tough Guys Detachment, Commander Laich, and Staff Sergeant Diqi, who had a crush on him, also died in this battle. In the end, the Spitfire Bugs also came out of the ground. The walls of the base were completely useless. At the most critical moment, the remaining troops left the base on the rescue spaceship sent by the headquarters. But this time, it's obviously not that simple. Based on our current situation, it's very likely that the rescue spaceship sent by headquarters will be late … or even never arrive!! "
Mogensha was stunned.
"Is that even possible?"
Sheyan was silent for a while before he spoke.
"Have you forgotten our mission … Oh, no, my mission? Destroy at least one Giant Spore Colony. According to the Blackthorn Overmind Mozi, this thing was set up by the Queen of the arachnids – the Blade Empress of the arachnids (similar to the human emperor). It is able to pose a huge threat to any flying vehicles in outer space. When we entered this world, our spaceship was met with a powerful interception. After these few days, the arachnid's air defence capabilities have obviously strengthened to a terrifying extent. That's why I said it's not strange for the rescue spaceship to be late or even be destroyed! "
At this moment, a Mutalisk suddenly started flapping its wings violently in warning! Sheyan and the rest peered out from the inner roots of the Overlord. Below them, they saw a pack of Scourges spreading out their razor-sharp greyish white bony wings, as they swiftly glided over! A Blackthorn Mutalisk welcomed them, releasing a threatening roar. The pack of Scourges instantly dispersed, circling around for a while before leaving.
Along the way, they would occasionally encounter other arachnid's aerial warning squads. But after realizing Sheyan's Overlord was just passing by, those arachnids didn't launch any attacks. Furthermore, the electronic map they purchased previously was finally put to good use. According to the surrounding terrain, the Whisky base that required assistance was just ahead.
Obviously because of the need to harvest Pandora crystals, this base had no choice but to be built on an undefended plain. Fortunately, humans were innately adept at defense. According to the electronic map, the Whisky base had 113 machine gunners, 8 steel bunkers and machine gun turrets, 6 tanks, and 7 aerial missile defense turrets. Such a military strength was enough to defend against a thousand arachnids. Of course, this was under the premise that no fire-breathing bugs attacked.
Although the electronic map's markings were incomparably clear, but ahead of them was a flat plain, without any signs of human constructions. As they continued flying forward, they actually encountered the arachnid's' mucus' carpet! Continuing forward for a while, they shockingly witnessed a new arachnid nest that was currently in the midst of incubation. Beside it, 20-30 zerglings were lazily sprawled on the ground. In this arachnid base, shattered steel, warped walls and barracks could be seen everywhere. Wreckage of tanks and tattered armours could also be seen. The corpses were either eaten, or transformed into nutrients for the arachnid's' mucus' carpet.
Once those steel materials reached the incubation pool, they would rapidly dissolve. Then, the elements within would be supplied to the incubating eggs, enhancing their defensive and offensive capabilities. Witnessing such a scene, Mogensha's heart surged with a chill.
"Don't tell me, that Tulip has already been consumed by the Overmind? Calling us here was actually a trap set by the Overmind? "
Sheyan shook his head.
"Unlikely, if my conjecture isn't wrong ….. forget it, this arachnid base is defenseless, let's get rid of it first. Although it's only an incubating structure, it represents an arachnid base. Getting rid of it should be able to reap some benefits from the humans."
After speaking, Sheyan controlled the Overlord to descend. The 20-30 zerglings below weren't even in Sheyan's eyes. His current battle experience against arachnids was already plentiful. After landing, he activated his flamethrower, releasing a flurry of flames. The two Mutalisks above also swooped down to assist in the assault. Following that, Mogensha and Baiise's group also scrambled to join the fray. Based on their current strength, don't mention 20-30 zerglings, even 10 times more wouldn't be a problem!
3 minutes later, this still incubating arachnid base exploded into a sky of blood and gore. Sheyan and Mogensha both received a notification – 'You've destroyed an arachnid base, Pan-human alliance reputation + 5000 points'. However, such a good thing could only happen once. The arachnids who constructed this base probably reckoned that their enemies wouldn't be able to cross over in a short period of time, hence their defences were lax. In the future, if they were to continue constructing this base to mine for pandora crystals, then the defences would definitely be extremely tight. If they were to return in a swirl of dust, then they would have to face the frenzied siege of the hydralisk hordes.
After completing their evil deed, the two of them naturally didn't dare to linger. Once the arachnid base perished, the Mother nest would emit an intense response, and reinforcements would arrive in a flash. The group hurriedly boarded the Overlord and fled the scene of the crime. Mogensha glanced at the coordinates of Tulip's request for reinforcements on the electronic map, and asked suspiciously.
"Their current location, should be at the peak of the mountain? If it's at the peak, then they wouldn't have to fear the ambush of the fire-breathing bugs. That would be a brilliant move. That woman previously announced to all contestants in this world, but I reckon even if there are other contestants in this world, I'm afraid they wouldn't rescue her. "
Sheyan disdainfully replied.
"If they had sufficient military strength, then undoubtedly ascending the peak would be a good move. But after a bitter battle, they couldn't even preserve the lives of their party members! Ascending the peak in such a weak state, simultaneously facing the aerial scourges and the ground arachnid hordes, isn't that courting death? "
Mogensha frowned.
"Then her motive for tricking us?"
"Because they didn't receive any news of our deaths, that b * tch Tulip assumed that we weren't dead. When she sent out that distress signal, it was undoubtedly a perilous situation, so much so that she despaired to the point of believing that even if there were reinforcements, they wouldn't be able to rescue us. "
Mogensha's gaze instantly turned vicious.
"So, she wants to drag us down with her? That mountain peak should be an important defensive region of the arachnids right? That b * tch, don't let me see her again! "
Sheyan glanced down at the plains swiftly flitting by, his expression carrying a trace of disdain.
"That woman should be dead by now, I'm guessing her brain is most likely being digested in a zergling's stomach. Hmph, if she didn't point out the escape route and location, do you think I wouldn't know? They can't be too far away from the base. Not only can they avoid the fire-breathing bugs that burrow out from the ground, they can also defend against aerial attacks, and they can also maximize the potential of a contestant with a defensive innate talent ….. Obviously, the nearby cave is their best choice! " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
