Chapter 391 Alien Battlefield (20) Chaos
Inside Outpost No. 2.
Gloria's current situation was extremely grim. Just a minute ago, she received a communication from Han Zu, who said that he used the form of soul-grabbing miasma to bypass the group of creatures that were also blocked in the waterway like him, and left the sewer system from an inconspicuous gap and returned to the ground. However, because of the detour, it would take him a few minutes to reach the outpost. Based on the team's escape route, he inferred that the team would definitely return to the No. 2 outpost.
However, before Gloria could reply, the communication connection between her and Han Zu was suddenly cut off. This communication disconnection was not caused by the team outside, but by other reasons. Because immediately after the communication was disconnected, Gloria's contractor equipment completely lost its function and entered a strange state without any feedback.
At the same time, all the other equipment in the No. 2 outpost that Gloria had invaded earlier also broke down. Their power sources all stopped working at the same time for unknown reasons. Now all the security devices in this outpost have failed, and the only safety measure is the walls around it. But don't forget that Gloria entered the No. 2 outpost by making a hole in it, so Gloria's current situation is completely unsafe.
“Hey~~~~!!!!”
Outside the created intrusion port, there were many different creatures screaming. These creatures were the ones Gloria had seen in the empty city before, but they seemed to be somewhat different from ordinary creatures. Observing from the position of the intrusion port in the shadows, it was possible to find that these creatures gathered near the No. 2 outpost had a layer of reflective grease on their skin. However, her radiation pulse could only confirm the number of nearby creatures. Without the help of the contractor's equipment, Gloria could not confirm the difference between these creatures near the No. 2 outpost and other creatures while remaining hidden.
If it weren't for that team, Gloria's situation wouldn't be as passive as it is now. Because of the team's existence, in order to prevent them from leaving through the outpost's teleporter, Gloria had to stay here. In the entire No. 2 outpost, this teleporter was also the most troublesome thing for her, because now, including her own contractor's equipment, all the equipment within the scope of the No. 2 outpost had lost its function, but by chance, the teleporter inside was an exception. Although it was also disturbed and the energy supply was reduced to a state where it could not be started, but the team must have a way to replenish the energy supply of the teleporter.
So even if the situation was very passive, Gloria couldn't leave. With her physical fitness and the extremely fast speed it brought, she could escape even if she couldn't destroy the creatures outside. But if the team escaped through the transmission device, once they activated the star destroyer on the satellite, she would have no chance of escaping, unless an unstable crack suddenly appeared around, just like the mysterious ruins in the belly of the big fish. But perhaps influenced by Han Zu, Gloria didn't believe in this kind of probability anymore.
However, this deadlock situation took a turn for the better when Gloria slowly moved relying on the shadows of the wall. She saw some boxes that she had not paid close attention to before.
The boxes were not sealed and could be easily opened, and when Gloria discovered what was in the boxes, the situation immediately took a turn for the better.
Two of the boxes contained more than a dozen energy cores, which could be perfectly loaded into the energy system of the teleportation device. As long as he could find a way to temporarily attract the attention of the biological community outside the No. 2 outpost, he only needed to buy a minute or two to complete the replacement of the energy core, allowing the teleportation device to obtain enough energy to operate and leave through the teleportation device.
As for the other boxes, although some of them were useless, one of the locked boxes was filled with explosives. These things were not the creations of the contractors and their kind, but some things that Gloria could understand how to use. They were probably some collected artifacts for them. Among them, several cluster plasma grenades could still be used normally. Although the power might be reduced, Gloria did not plan to use them to kill the biological swarm outside. As long as they could make enough noise to attract their attention, it would be enough.
Relying on her own strength, Gloria is fully capable of bundling these cluster plasma grenades together and throwing them a hundred meters away. As long as they can explode successfully, she will have a great chance of replacing the energy core of the transmission device and being successfully teleported away.
But now another problem arises.
If Gloria leaves in this way, then Outpost No. 2 will be unguarded. Once the outpost becomes empty, whether the biological community outside locks onto the energy during the teleportation and rushes in to destroy the outpost, or the team arrives first and also teleports away, the fate of this planet will be completely wiped out from the star map by the star destroyer cannon, and it will be completely uncertain whether Han Zu can survive.
Gloria doesn't care about the natives of this planet. They are not of the same species as her and have nothing to do with her. Their life and death are insignificant to her.
As for Han Zu, if there were other options now, or if there was no star destroyer cannon, Gloria would not consider abandoning Han Zu. Firstly, Han Zu was a great help to her, and secondly, Gloria still had a good feeling about Han Zu, at least on a physical level.
But for Gloria, although she had enough courage to face death, she couldn't die here now. The Feidenan family was still there, and her revenge had not been avenged. Even if she died, she had to avenge herself first. In addition to Han Zu, she should be the only one who has the highest authority over Han Zu's facilities, equipment, and devices. Han Zu's secret facilities are not just the one destroyed by the Feidenan family. In the abandoned city, there are semi-finished buildings full of equipment, as well as the space currently controlled by the contractor, and the army on the top of the skyscraper. She has enough authority to control them. Although she has lost Han Zu, a powerful helper, even so, using these facilities, equipment and troops, Gloria has the capital to fight against the Feidenan family.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Han Zu will be destroyed along with the planet when the star destroyer cannon is activated.
But even if Han Zu survived in some way and even returned to Earth, Gloria didn't care. If she left now, she knew her fate. With Han Zu's character, she would definitely be killed for this betrayal. But if she was fast enough, as long as she got her revenge first, Gloria didn't care whether she lived or died. Although Han Zu was a crazy guy, he didn't get along with the Feidenan family, so he wouldn't help the Feidenan family just to disgust her. What's more, the Feidenan family might not cooperate with Han Zu.
However, Gloria was not worried about whether she would live or die, but was worried that if she really ran away now, then her behavior to Han Zu would be the same as the betrayal of the Feidenan family at that time. Gloria instinctively hated this feeling. No matter how bad the situation was, she didn't want to become the same as the Feidenan family. Becoming a guy who took betrayal as breathing.
"Ah... Damn it, I guess I can't get revenge."
Gloria sighed and cursed. After struggling for a long time, she finally gave up the idea of leaving. However, those cluster plasma bombs were still effective. Although they were used to attract the attention of the biological community outside the outpost, the purpose had changed. She planned to use this explosion to inform Han Zu of the exact location of the outpost intrusion entrance she had built. In the current situation where communication was unavailable, this old but simple and efficient method was still very practical.
"Ping!"
"Hey~~~"
“BOOM~~!!!!!!”
Gloria tied two or three cluster plasma grenades together and activated the detonation buttons on them. She found the right angle and threw them out from the invasion port at an angle. Along with the friction sound of heavy objects breaking through the air, these cluster grenades were thrown out of Outpost No. 70, passed through the building above the outpost, and flew out through the huge gap in the building. After hitting the wall once, they successfully exploded more than meters away. The huge roar was very useful. This sound not only attracted the biological community near Outpost No. , but also reached the ground through the wellhead. The team was now hiding outside the building above Outpost No. , and Han Zu, who had arrived on the ground a few minutes ago and had now reached the ruins of the building above the outpost, was searching for the location of the invasion port through his perception ability.
The location where the cluster grenade exploded happened to be very close to the team. Due to the special interference, they could not use the space deflection device on their bodies. So after the explosion attracted the creatures that had previously surrounded the No. 2 outpost, their hiding place was immediately discovered by those creatures. In order to protect themselves, the team members had no choice but to take the initiative to attack. For a while, the sound of crossfire resounded throughout the ruins, mixed with the roar of the hunter creatures and the screams caused by the collision of energy. The surroundings went from being relatively quiet to the center of the battlefield. There were more hunter creatures in the distance rushing in this direction, and the situation of the team members suddenly fell into a passive position.
Especially in the case of interference, the floating artillery group cannot be used normally, and the team members can only fight back with the armor that has lost its auxiliary ability and their own combat qualities. But it must be said that although the team has been avoiding battles and running away, in fact, the team's combat effectiveness is fierce. Even with only the weapons in their hands and their own combat qualities, they can effectively eliminate the hunter creatures rushing around without injury when outnumbered. Although they are not sharpshooters who can hit the target every time, their shooting skills of hitting three out of four shots are also enough to be considered super elite, especially in the current extremely chaotic situation. While attacking the hunter creatures, they must also ensure that their energy weapons will not penetrate the creatures and accidentally injure friendly forces.
"His target is not us, but Outpost No. 2!"
Xin, the team leader, was using the resonance dagger in her hand to cut open the body of a strangler worm. Through the pierced gap, she saw a hunter sneaking around the battle area and preparing to enter a gap in the ground. There was most likely an intrusion point at the No. 2 outpost. She immediately reminded her companions loudly and prepared to try to pull the battle line over to stop the hunter's actions.
"Don't get too comfortable!"
“Buzz~~!!!!”
However, as the number of biological groups around increases, moving the front line is not only difficult but may also interrupt everyone's attack rhythm. However, Hai, who serves as the support of the team, and Wu, who serves as the vanguard, came up with a good unethical idea.
Hai had a powerful attack but a relatively slow speed. After catching a leather goby, he poked its eyes out and then kicked it hard on the torso, kicking it towards the hunter. However, the hunter did not care and punched the leather goby back with his backhand.
"Hey, pretty smart..."
"boom!!!!"
However, just as the Ge?3?9 was flying back, a winged moth with its wings torn off suddenly appeared in front of the hunter. This should be thrown by Wu while the Ge?3?9 was blocking the hunter's sight.
Of course, there was a metal rod inserted into the body of the winged moth. Judging from the fact that it kept flashing and making a "beeping" sound, it was most likely a bomb.
With a loud bang, the bomb exploded on the hunter's face. Although the fragments of the explosion and the deadly chemical materials inside had no effect on him, the strong and dazzling light did cause him to lose his vision for a few seconds.
When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him was much more lively. At least twenty hunter creatures had rushed to a position less than one meter away from him.
"It's indeed a good tactic. This situation is indeed difficult to handle."
“Hoo-boom!!!”
However, a situation that stunned the team members occurred immediately afterwards. The hunter's body suddenly grew larger in front of them, becoming a giant over five meters tall. From his open bloody mouth, pitch-black flames suddenly gushed out, turning the huge fan-shaped area of more than 20 meters in front of him into a sea of fire. The hunter creatures that rushed in front of the hunter didn't even react, and were instantly destroyed along with the ground that had turned into a pool of magma. The exaggerated heat could even be felt by the team dozens of meters away.
The sudden outbreak of pitch-black flames quickly ignited all combustibles within the danger range. The fan-shaped flames, which were originally over 20 meters in range, ignited the entire hall of the building ruins within a minute. The place suddenly turned into a sea of fire. At the location of the outermost wall, the burning flames and the small river of magma formed on the ground due to the high temperature formed a natural barrier, which successfully created a huge "safe" space to a certain extent.
However, those hunter creatures had no fear at all. Even though the temperature of the flames could cause great harm to them, they didn't care at all. The death of a large number of their companions did not make them retreat, but instead angered them. More groups of creatures rushed over, vowing to slaughter all living creatures including the team.
"Go into the ring of fire! There are far fewer creatures in there!"
"What about the hunter? We can't handle him!"
"Either go in, or get killed by the hunter creatures. Your choice!!"
"Fuck! Go!!!"
As a last resort, the team members used their weapons to temporarily extinguish a fire wall, opened a gap in it, and rushed into the hall of the ruined building, avoiding the uncooled magma while moving towards the hunter. The hunter did not attack them, and soon, a strange scene appeared. The team members unknowingly began to fight side by side with the giant hunter, fighting against more and more hunters with higher quality.
