Chapter 299 - First Wave
n
n
n
n
n
nTier 4!
n
nThe same tier as the Nemesis!
n
nThe worms were the same as when they were at Tier 0, and their movement speed was unusually slow.
n
nThey wriggled slowly on the ground, gnawing at the corpses on the ground.
n
nThe close-range explosion directly caused more than half of the Federation’s elite team to die.
n
nZhang Zhe’s condition wasn’t too good either. Even though he had been pushed away by Tang Chu at the last moment of the explosion, he had also been affected by the explosion.
n
nHe quickly took out a first-aid needle from his backpack and injected it into his arm.
n
n“Sir! Are you okay?”
n
n“Quick! Gather the team!”
n
nLooking at the worms scattered in the desert, Zhang Zhe’s face was gloomy and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
n
n“Twelve…”
n
nZhang Zhe counted the number of crystallized forms left after the explosion.
n
nAmong them, four were Tier 4 crystallized forms and eight were Tier 3 crystallized forms.
n
nSuch a creature’s strength was a disaster for any shelter!
n
nCurrently, the Federation could only deal with two Tier 4 creatures at most, which was their limit!
n
n“Contact the shelter and report to superiors!”
n
n“Stop them! Buy time! No matter what price you pay, do not let them enter the shelter!”
n
n“Yes!”
n
n“Contact the headquarters and ask them to send reinforcements. Low-tier thermal weapons do almost no damage to them. Apply for emergency exchange. We must use highly corrosive sulfuric acid howitzers to deal with them.”
n
n“Yes, Sir!”
n
nThe elite team of the Federation was equipped with weapons, and dense bullets rained down on their skin.
n
nThe bullet’s damage was very limited against Tier 3 crystallized forms, but it successfully angered them
n
nThe Tier 4 crystallized worms, on the other hand, were immune to the bullet’s attack. They didn’t even bother with the bullets, slowly creeping toward the shelter behind the player group.
n
nFar away, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei were quietly watching the battle.
n
n“Fang Heng, what do you say? The people from the Federation shouldn’t be able to hold on, right?”
n
nFang Heng looked at the worms and couldn’t help but ponder.
n
nFour of them were all Tier 4 creatures. The reward for killing them should be pretty good.
n
n“I also feel that they won’t be able to hold on.”
n
nSaying that, Fang Heng slowly sat down, opened a packet of biscuits and entered long-range spectator mode.
n
n“There’s no rush. Let’s watch a little longer. The Federation should have some counter-measures. Let them think of a way to weaken them first, then we’ll go up and take the reward.”
n
nMo Jiawei thought about it and felt that it made sense.
n
n“Right… We can’t help for nothing. We still have to get more benefits from the Federation… we’ll have to contact Chen Yu later.”
n
nAs Fang Heng spoke, he threw a simple bed to the side.
n
n“I remember that the shelter needs some rare and special materials to advance to Tier 3, right?”
n
n“Uh, I think so.”
n
nMo Jiawei looked at Fang Heng, who was calmly watching the situation, and then lowered his head to look at the distant Federation players who were currently engaged in a fierce battle with the crystallized forms.
n
nThey were already suffering yet Fang Heng still want to pick up a handful of wool from them.
n
nFor some reason, his heart ached for the people of the Federation.
n
n…
n
nThis battle lasted for a full four hours!
n
nThe sun was about to set.
n
nThe Federation had spent quite a bit of effort to clear out all the Tier 3 crystallized worms.
n
nOnly the last four Tier 4 crystallized worms were left!
n
nThe strength of the Tier 4 worms was mostly focused on defense. They did not have any long-range attacks.
n
nAs long as they did not approach, the worms would basically stand there and take a beating.
n
nThe discipline of the Federation elite team was extremely good. No one would charge forward alone.
n
nAfter using the emergency funds to exchange for the corrosive howitzers, the Tier 4 worm’s body was blasted with a few corrosive holes. The Federation players continued to attack the wounds.
n
nThe worm’s strong defensive ability allowed the corroded wounds to slowly recover.
n
nTherefore, the Federation had no choice but to use a few howitzers to break the defense of the crystallized worms at intervals.
n
nZhang Zhe, who was commanding the battle, was extremely tense.
n
nAlthough the worms’ movement speed was very slow, they were still approaching the shelter!
n
nAt this speed, it was estimated that the worms would reach the shelter in another hour.
n
nThe family members of important Federation members who had stayed in the shelter had already left early, but the Federation soldiers would still choose to defend the shelter with their lives.
n
nIt was impossible to hold on!
n
nZhang Zhe reasoned that they would never be able to defend the shelter against four Tier 4 crystallized forms!
n
nHe couldn’t think of any way to stop this wave of worms.
n
nThe Federation had spent a lot of effort to build the shelter and they were going to give it up just like that?
n
nHe would not be able to handle such a big mistake by himself no matter what!
n
nWhen this matter was over, he would definitely be punished by the Federation!
n
nHis only chance was to solve this problem!
n
n“Sir! Look over there!”
n
nZhang Zhe’s heart skipped a beat as he turned his head to look at a military truck that was approaching them not far away.
n
nThe truck stopped not far from the team.
n
nWhen he saw Fang Heng and Lucia walking out from the truck, Zhang Zhe could not help but frown.
n
nHis mood was extremely bad, and he would not give Fang Heng a good look.
n
n“Fang Heng, why are you here? The Federation is dealing with the matter urgently. Unrelated personnel, please evacuate immediately!”
n
n“Your boss invited me here.”
n
nFang Heng said as he looked at the worms that were approaching the shelter.
n
n“I heard that you were tricked by Night Owl again? Someone has to help you clean up this mess. After all, I still want to continue in Server 8.”
n
nZhang Zhe’s face was ashen.
n
nChen Yu walked down from the back of the truck.
n
n“Zhang Zhe, this is the latest order from the higher-ups. Fang Heng will act as a staff officer and help us solve the problem of the crystallized bodies.”
n
nZhang Zhe’s expression changed as he looked at the copy of the letter of appointment that Chen Yu showed him.
n
n“Are you crazy too? You’re endorsing him? Four Tier 4 creatures, what right does he think he has to help us?”
n
n“These are orders from the superiors.”
n
n“Good! I’d like to see how you deal with these crystallized creatures!” Zhang Zhe shouted angrily, “Meddling in my operation rashly! I’ll definitely report it to the superiors!”
n
nAfter saying that, Zhang Zhe flicked his sleeves and left.
n
nHe sneered in his heart.
n
nWhen he first saw Fang Heng, he was indeed angry.
n
nBut now, Zhang Zhe felt an indescribable ease.
n
nHe found someone to blame.
n
nIf Chen Yu was willing to take over this mess, then the rest would have nothing to do with him.
n
nAlthough he would still receive a series of punishments after the incident, it was still much better than now.
n
nNo one could resist this wave of crystallized forms.
n
nThe destruction of the shelter was a foregone conclusion!
n
nWhen the time came, everything could be pushed on Chen Yu! What he needed to do now was to quickly evacuate with the important people in the shelter!
n
nLooking at Zhang Zhe leaving alone, Chen Yu snorted. The word ‘disdain’ was written on his face.
n
nHe said in an extremely low voice, “Shame…”
n
nTang Chu and the other team captains were also very angry and dissatisfied with the act of running away and throwing the blame on others.
n
n“I am Tang Chu, head captain of the elite team of the Federation’s desert shelter. Sir! Please give me your instructions!”
n
n“I am Chen Yu. I am in charge of this operation now.”
n
nAs he spoke, Chen Yu turned around and looked at Fang Heng.
n
nThe latter patted Chen Yu on the shoulder.
n
n“Think on the bright side. Now it’s your turn to be the steward. Let’s solve this problem together.”
