Needless to say, under the assault of the void rays, all these Infernal soldiers were killed. Even their fuel tanks were ignited and exploded.

All the Infernal soldiers who were able to suppress the thorn beast were killed, and the “Eagle V” anti-air tower also lost its function. Sentry Camp 021 suffered a hard time in the following battle.

Fortunately, New Watchfort also knew the importance of the south gate, so it used the destructive weapon: the penetrating heat ray precision strike system!

This weapon had high accuracy and destructive power. After a flash of light, it killed the big void ray. Otherwise, they would be all dead by now.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was also quite chaotic. Even though Base 021 had temporarily eliminated all the incoming enemies, began to clean up the battlefield, rescued the wounded and extinguishing the flames, the enemy could attack at any time.

At this time, Hank had already led Fang Linyan trio into an intact supply station and said to Fang Linyan with a lowered voice,

“The order I received is to protect you, but if another wave of enemies attacks, I’m afraid we won’t be able to survive.”

“So I will start the sinking device later, lower the supply station underground, and then put dirt on the top as a camouflage, which should ensure your safety.”

“Wait a minute, Stassen and the others are still outside!!”

Hank said solemnly,

“It’s too late. Now more than half of my men have been killed or wounded. They are distraught. Even forcing them out will not help.”

“That old man Stassen is very smart. Maybe they have already escaped into the command center.”

Fang Linyan frowned and said,

“Wait, Hank! It seems safe to hide in the supply station, but don’t forget that our enemies are the Red Barracuda Star Pirates. Once this 021 falls, our disguise can maybe fool the monsters but not the pirates. It will be an inescapable situation by then.”

Hank ignored Linyan’s words and pushed the button on the power box. The supply station door slowly slid down, and then he said coldly,

“Don’t be stupid, kid! If you can survive the next 3 hours, come and verify your conclusion with me!”

At this time, Fang Linyan raised his wrist, pressed it, and immediately heard shrill screams and the buzzing sound of the driller coming from the communicator.

“These damn beasts… Ah…! Help me, HELP!”

The voice was clearly Stassen’s.

Fang Linyan said calmly,

“This is a SOS message I received in SCI 10 minutes ago. Your guess is wrong. Engineer Stassen is still waiting for us to rescue.”

Fang Linyan had been making a big plan. Engineer Stassen was a very important link..

More importantly, Fang Linyan discovered that the battle at New Watchfort was in full swing, attracting the nearby enemies like a big magnet.

If Fang Linyan went on the rescue mission now, he didn’t think he would be able to save them, but he had no problem in protecting himself.

Therefore, he didn’t bother saying more now. After taking a look at the battle situation outside, he said to Hank expressionlessly,

“The distance from here to the unmanned relay station is actually only a few hundred meters.”

“Give me all your grenades and firearms. If you don’t want to go, that’s your business, but I must go.”

“What?”

Hank was stunned for a moment, then he immediately rejected Fang Linyan’s request and said sternly,

“Are you crazy? There are monsters everywhere outside. Going out now will only kill yourself! Stay here with me. Maybe New Watchfort notices that the defense here is weak and has sent reinforcements. Wouldn’t it be better to rescue them by then?”

Fang Linyan’s eyes showed a cold look. Before Hank could react, he quickly took out a gun from the SCI, pointed it at Hank, and said coldly,

“Don’t make me say it twice, brother!”

Then he pushed the muzzle hard on Hank’s head. Hank looked at Fang Linyan and said with a gloomy face,

“You’re really crazy! Well you win. Take them all! Don’t let me see them again!”

Hank then took off a belt full of grenades, placed it on the ground, and kicked it over.

Fang Linyan picked up the belt and put it around his waist, but he still pointed the muzzle at Hank as he said,

“Open the door and let us out. What you want to do after that has nothing to do with me! Don’t worry, we have been separated a long time ago. I have never been here, and I don’t know what happened here.”

Hank said coldly,

“I have taken you to a safe place. You chose to leave on your own. At the same time, I also chose to stay and defend the nearest building. I did not violate any infantry regulations, so I don’t care what you say in the future.”

Fang Linyan smiled and let Goat and Vulture go first. After the trio left, Hank shut the supply station.

Amidst a series of metal collisions, the supply station sank into the ground, then 2 thick steel plates covered it up on the ground. Then soldiers came over to execute the order and camouflage it.

After leaving the supply station, Fang Linyan looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. He felt that even though he was wearing a filter mask, there was still a smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with blood in the air that went straight into his throat. It was indescribably pungent.

This bloody chaotic night seemed to be just the beginning.

***

At this time, the Watchfort was completely in chaos. Several firepower points on the wall had been destroyed, and the ground was full of large holes drilled by giant blood worms.

Several bunkers in the key internal areas also had obvious deforms on their surfaces. They were wrapped by layers of injured and crazy giant blood worms. The armor plates were smoking due to the corrosion. They looked to be in danger.

Even more terrible, the giant blood worms had part of the earthworm gene. They had extremely strong vitality. Even if their bodies were broken, their bodies could still move. As long as there was enough food, they had the ability to regenerate. Therefore, as long as they didn’t die after being injured, they would be enraged even more.

However, although giant blood worms were tenacious, they were not invulnerable. Their brain was their weakness. As long as the brain that grew deep in the third layer of flesh was destroyed, they could be completely killed.

However, giant blood worms had no legs, so they could only squirm like a snake. In addition, they moved fast and had thick skin and flesh, so their weak points were difficult to be hit by guns.

At the same time, some Red Barracuda Phantom Pirates also infiltrated the New Watchfort through the caves drilled by the giant blood worms.

Unlike the giant blood worms who followed the instinct to eat, they knew the weaknesses of the Federation Army and the Star Consortium. They wreaked havoc in the New Watchfort, causing huge casualties to the New Watchfort.

The most terrible thing was that as the attacker, they had been wreaking havoc wantonly on the enemy’s territory, but the Federation Army couldn’t use the mass destruction weapons on their base.

Otherwise, if an X-M185 remote-sensing special artillery shell was fired, the area within 2km kilometers would be turned into a sea of flames.

The giant blood worms might not be able to burn a few to death, but the garrison soldiers and residents in the New Watchfort would mostly be dead.

Through the monitoring equipment in the command center, the military also quickly made some countermeasures. First, the 2 closed gates besides were opened, and then 2 “Hephaestus” heavy self-propelled war robots slowly walked out.

These were powerful war machines that the Star Consortium had not yet mass-produced.

Their appearance looked somewhat similar to an octopus with 8 hydraulically driven mechanical legs, a built-in energy shield generator, and extremely thick armor.

They had strong survivability. They could continue fighting even with only 3 mechanical legs.

Their main configuration was the latest “Burning Hammer II” solid fuel injector. This powerful weapon had a range of 100 meters and a flame temperature of more than 2000 degrees.

Their other weapon, the “infrasonic cannon”, was still being debugged.

The situation was critical, so they could only launch the robots to save the current crisis.

Under the 2 blazing flames, several giant blood worms were turned into ignited match ropes, exuding a burning smell, wildly rolling on the ground and shaking wildly, and making painful screech.

Obviously, they no longer cared about attacking the rest of the people.

Those combatants who were trapped in the bunker also seized the opportunity to escape and regrouped with the rest.

At this time, Casio stood in the command center with a solemn expression. However, the person next to him suddenly ran up and whispered a few words. Casio’s sinister face sneered,

“The enemy actually paid such a huge cost to launch an attack against New Watchfort?!”

“Not only that, those damn invisible rats seem to be running around causing destruction, but they are actually looking for something.”

“Pass on my order. All the prisoners and trophies seized in the past week will be sent to the command center after this battle. They will be strictly screened!”

“I have a hunch. Maybe we catch the balls of those pretentious guys from Capsule Technology!”

***

The fight in New Watchfort was fierce, which definitely attracted most of the attention of the surrounding creatures, but it gave Fang Linyan trio a safer space for activities.

However, the trio were also extremely cautious. As long as they were in the adventure world, the most dangerous creatures must be the same kind!

Especially when Mert had made it clear that he wanted the Sakura Dragon Bundle. Mert looked like a gentleman, but such people were the most dangerous.

If he was really that innocent, how could he survive until now?

TL: If Mert really attacks them, against the colony hunters, can they really win?
