The First Evolution

Chapter 575: Night Raid

Apart from this, the command center had no means of attack. However, the defense of the command center could even withstand the bombardment of strategic weapons. Combined with its ability to fly slowly, its survivability was high.

After entering the command center, Fang Linyan saw an acquaintance, Colonel Casio, who had previously killed people to establish his authority in the mothership.

He was also the chief commander of New Watchfort, the highest military commander of the Federation Army on the planet.

He originally looked very sinister, but when he was in a bad mood, he exuded a majesty that made people stay away from him. His eyes were very sharp as if they were piercing into the soul.

However, although Casio was right in front, Stassen didn’t intend to talk with him. Instead, he walked directly to the stairs to the third-floor command center with a gloomy face.

It seemed that Stassen didn’t like Casio very much either.

But what Fang Linyan didn’t expect was that after Colonel Casio saw the two of them, he walked over, sized up Fang Linyan with sharp eyes, and said to the deputy beside,

“Who is this person? How can he sneak into the command center?”

After Stassen heard this, he immediately said coldly,

Colonel Casio didn’t bother wasting time with this drunkard. With a wave of his hand, the military police came over and surrounded him. Stassen became even more furious.

Fortunately, the deputy quickly checked Fang Linyan’s information and showed it to Colonel Casio.

Only then Casio left with a snort.

Seeing Casio leave, Stassen said angrily,

“This is really unlucky. Why is it him? Not only is he cruel, but he is also a racist who advocates white supremacy.”

“Fortunately, this guy has not been here for a long time and will be transferred soon. Just avoid him while you are here.”

After a period of tedious operations, the fault code was finally obtained. After interpretation, Stassen discovered that the problem was not in New Watchfort, but at an unmanned relay station 3km southeast of here, so he planned to rush there directly.

Vulture and Goat were not allowed to enter the command center and could only wait outside, but now they had to travel together as Fang Linyan’s assistants.

After Deputy Commander Hank, who was in charge of this matter, heard that the problem was found, he sent a squad of soldiers to escort them.

Perhaps it was because the area around New Watchfort was relatively safe after many killings, or perhaps because a squad of soldiers was a strong deterrent, so they arrived at this unmanned relay station without any danger.

It didn’t take long for Stassen to find the problem. It turned out to be a few thorn beasts that accidentally damaged it.

When these thorn beasts approached the unmanned relay station, they were shot and killed by the automatic turret. However, because the penetrating power of the bullets was too strong. While the automatic turret shot the thorn beasts, it also penetrated the communication box on the outer wall of the relay station.

Under Stassen’s guidance, the SCI controlled by Fang Linyan immediately stretched out the welding gun, cut off 3 steel plates full of bullet holes, and inspected the damage conditions inside.

The situation inside was much worse than outside. It was totally a mess.

Fortunately, the central processing module of the communication device was protected by a double-layer steel plate. The problem could be fixed by replacing only a few necessary parts.

After assessing the damaged conditions, Stassen asked Fang Linyan to drive the SCI and return to New Watchfort under the escort of squad leader Hank and 3 soldiers to carry the parts that needed to be replaced.

Stassen also entered another SCI and stayed there to continue dismantling the damaged parts in the pipeline and repairing them.

Fang Linyan nodded and quickly drove the SCI toward New Watchfort. Not long after, he had obtained the parts that needed to be replaced from the warehouse and began to return.

When he was just a few hundred meters away from the gate of New Watchfort, the ground suddenly shook slightly. The supply station in the distance even shook with a loud clang.

The strong earthquake caused the soldiers beside Fang Linyan to lie down on the ground. Obviously, they thought it was an earthquake.

But the senses of Fang Linyan and the other 2 were obviously stronger than ordinary people. They had already heard an indescribable, subtle and strange sound coming from the underground. This was definitely not the sound of an earthquake!

Although Fang Linyan didn’t feel the quake inside SCI, he could see the reactions of the others. He immediately stopped the SCI and jumped out of it.

After all, technicians who controlled SCI had a very high killing priority on the battlefield.

Fortunately, the quake only lasted for more than 10 seconds.

Hank hurriedly got up from the ground, waved his hand solemnly, and asked everyone to follow him behind the nearest rock.

Then, he poked his head out to check the situation outside and signaled everyone to stay still for the time being.

Realizing something was amiss, Fang Linyan had decisively activated [Athena’s Blessing], switched to the title of Diner, and ate some food to restore HP.

Since the battle against Sassi, Fang Linyan was now extremely cautious.

After about 30 seconds, a soldier could not help but whisper,

“Hank, what’s going on?”

But Hank’s face was solemn. He gestured to be silent and raised the electromagnetic rifle in his hands.

At the same time, he ordered to turn off the exoskeleton lighting equipment on everyone. The surroundings were pitch black. Looking back, there were only some shouts in the New Watchfort and bright searchlights were sweeping around.

Immediately afterward, 4 rounds of “Morning Star” umbrella flares were fired directly from the fortress! It illuminated an area of ​​hundreds of meters like daylight, but there was nothing abnormal.

When the group of people saw New Watchfort, they also acted as if they were facing an enemy, and they immediately did not dare to move anymore.

But at this moment, the roar of an engine came from the road in the distance and bright spotlight! It was a mobile unit driving back from a mission.

It was a convoy. Leading the way in front was a six-wheeled “Bradley” armored personnel carrier. In the center were 3 “Black Mules” armed jeeps. At the end was also the six-wheeled “Bradley” armored personnel carrier that covered the rear.

The roads in New Watchfort were rolled out by heavy tanks, so they were all dirt roads. Only armored vehicles with strong off-road capabilities could travel freely.

Probably because they had seen the lights of New Watchfort, the team also accelerated their vehicles. The tired warriors were now full of expectations for hot water, a delicious meal, and a comfortable big bed.

Seeing this scene, Hank immediately said in shock,

“Shit, they’re in danger!”

Just when Hank was about to think of a way to give a warning, there was a loud noise on the road in front of the convoy. A huge pothole collapsed strangely.

This pothole was at least over a hundred square meters in size. Its depth could be clearly seen. Dust and sand rose from the pothole.

The convoy immediately braked to a stop, but the six-wheeled “Bradley” armored personnel carrier at the front was probably a step too late, so it plunged straight in with its rear end sticking out high.

Just when the convoy stopped, the soil around it also burst apart. A series of dull shrills were heard underground, and several spots on the surrounding gravel ground collapsed.

Then several fat giant worms with a length of 5-7 meters appeared from pothole.

They had terrifying mouthparts and could spit acid. They seemed to move clumsily, but were actually extremely agile. They immediately wreaked havoc in the convoy!

They targeted humans. Fang Linyan witnessed a soldier being swallowed directly by the huge mouthparts.

His upper body was still screaming crazily while he was being chewed violently by the teeth, splattering a lot of blood. Obviously, in the eyes of these fat insects, humans were a very delicious and juicy food…

Seeing this scene, Hank said hatefully,

“Hell, it’s actually a giant blood worm!”

When he said this, Fang Linyan immediately recalled the relevant information he had crammed on the shuttle.

The monster that attacked the fortress was the high-ranking hunter on Planet Moston, the giant blood worm.

This monster had a long cylindrical body shape with a mottled body color. Its back was dark green and its belly was dark brown.

The outer skin could secrete mucus, allowing it to move like a snake. The length of the larvae could reach 2 meters, and the length of the mature body could reach 7 meters.

Under adequate feeding conditions, the length of a mature body could easily exceed 10 meters!

TL: They could stay put until the fortress sends soldiers to wipe out the worms right?
