Chapter 2325: Fighting Back (Two Chapters in One)
The next morning, the sun rose in the sky, and the golden sunlight tore through the darkness.
The originally noisy land began to gradually return to silence, and the strange beasts that liked to call at night returned to their nests one after another to sleep.
At the 23rd human base, the investigators in the dormitory woke up, washed up, came out of the dormitory, and walked towards the canteen.
The chef who got up two hours in advance prepared breakfast, buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, spring rolls and other meals were all ready.
As the investigators came to the canteen and began to line up to receive breakfast, the whole canteen became very lively.
There were two investigators standing on the watchtower, and they looked in different directions.
"Ha~"
After working all night, it was dawn, and sleepiness came up, yawning repeatedly.
"So sleepy."
"Wait until they finish breakfast and come to take our shift. Hold on for a while."
"I'll go back to the dormitory and sleep later."
"Don't you want to have breakfast before going back to the dormitory?"
"No appetite."
"Is that so? All right. I'll go to the canteen to have breakfast by myself later."
The two investigators standing guard on the watchtower chatted. After more than 20 minutes, the colleagues who came to replace them arrived.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"I'll leave it to you."
"Go back and rest."
"Okay."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the investigators who had been on duty all night came down from the watchtower. One walked towards the canteen to prepare for breakfast, and the other walked directly towards the dormitory.
"Boom boom..."
There was a roar in the distance. After a few seconds, the investigators standing on the watchtower saw a convoy appear at the end of the road.
"The transport team is here."
"I thought they would come tomorrow!"
"Yeah, I thought they would arrive tomorrow, but I didn't expect them to arrive a day early."
"I wonder what kind of weapons they brought this time?"
"I heard from Lao Wang that the weapons this time are more powerful than the ones we are using now."
While the two investigators were chatting, the convoy arrived in front of the base.
The investigator standing guard at the gate checked the documents and then opened the door to let them in.
The convoy entered the base and drove towards the warehouse. Because they had been here several times before, they were familiar with the road and could find the location of the warehouse without anyone leading the way.
"Click."
The convoy stopped at the door of the warehouse and the person in charge of the base immediately came to greet them.
"Everyone, you have worked hard. Let's go to the canteen to have something to eat!"
The driver of the convoy and the personnel protecting the convoy walked towards the canteen together.
They set off at dawn. Although there was no danger along the way, they were still a little tired and needed to eat something, drink some water, and replenish their physical strength.
The person in charge of the base arranged some people to move the things off the truck.
"Wow."
An investigator jumped onto the truck and saw a brand new shoulder-mounted psychic cannon. He was immediately shocked by its cool appearance and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
"Look at this."
"Oh my god, this psychic cannon is so cool."
"I wonder how powerful it is."
"Let's find a strange beast to test its power later."
"All the strange beasts around here have run away. Where can we find one?"
"Isn't it easy to find a strange beast? This is not a problem."
The person in charge of the base smiled and shook his head, then said to the investigators.
"There will be plenty of time to use the new weapons later. Everyone, hurry up and unload the goods and move them to the warehouse..."
"Yes." The investigators responded in unison, and then began to move various supplies to the warehouse.
Time passed, and half an hour later, all the supplies transported by the convoy were moved to the warehouse.
"Chirp..."
Many ordinary birds live on the trees around the camp. Suddenly, these ordinary birds made noisy bird calls.
"What happened to them?"
"I don't know."
"They sound panicky."
"Is there a dangerous beast approaching our base?"
The two investigators on the watchtower frowned and stared at some birds that were making noises around them.
"Roar..."
The sharp roar of the beast came from a distance, and everyone in the base could hear it.
"There are beasts coming." The moment the roar was heard, a thought came to everyone in the base at the same time.
After a while, the head of the base began to command the investigators to prepare for the battle.
In the distance, a dark cloud appeared in the clear sky.
No, it's not a dark cloud.
It's a gathering of beasts, which gives people the feeling of a dark cloud.
The investigator, with a light golden light in his eyes, looked at the group of beasts appearing in the distance and quickly reported what he saw.
"There are quite a few of them. We need to take the initiative. If we let them get close to the base, it will cause us a lot of damage."
The head of the base thought quickly and soon made the decision to fight.
In less than a minute, nearly a hundred investigators activated their flying spirit tools, then flew into the air, heading for the herd of strange beasts approaching from the horizon.
"Roar..."
One by one, the two-meter-long bird-like strange beasts, covered with black scales and with brown spots on their heads, screamed.
These beasts are not very big, but they are numerous. If they are allowed to approach the base, even if they can be defeated, the losses caused are unacceptable to everyone.
"Get ready." The head of the base looked at the beasts approaching from a distance with a serious face and said to his men behind him.
Each investigator raised the psychic cannon on his shoulder and aimed the muzzle at the beasts in the distance.
When this batch of weapons arrived at the base just now, many people wanted to find a beast to test its power, but they didn't expect that a target would be delivered to the door so soon.
"Roar..."
The beasts that made noises one after another saw the investigators and shouted excitedly, then accelerated their flying speed.
In a few seconds, their flying speed doubled.
"Attack."
The head of the base was calm and calm. Seeing the beasts speeding up, he did not rush to issue an attack order, but waited until the opponent approached a certain distance before issuing an order.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The investigators who received the attack order activated the psychic cannon in their hands, and one energy ball after another shot out of the muzzle.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
The energy balls tore through the air, making a whistling sound. Due to the large number of them, the dazzling light made it difficult for people to open their eyes.
"The energy balls of this new weapon are so dazzling."
"Yes! It feels like they can be used as flares at night."
As soon as the voice fell, the energy balls collided with the herd of alien beasts.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The deafening explosion sounded through the sky. The explosive power generated by the energy balls was very amazing. As long as the alien beasts were affected, they would be blown to pieces immediately.
The originally powerful herd of alien beasts was defeated in an instant, and more than half of the alien beasts died in this terrible explosion.
The torn alien beasts fell to the ground, and their blood dripped on some plants, dyeing all the plants red.
The remaining alien beasts were terrified, looking at the investigators standing in the air, screaming in fear, then turning around and fleeing in panic.
"Is it over?"
"It's too fast!"
"I thought we were going to have a fierce battle!"
"Should we chase them?"
The person in charge of the base did not expect that the herd of alien beasts would flee after a wave of attacks. He searched and did not issue a pursuit order.
Afterwards, all the investigators returned along the same route, and the crisis of an alien beast attack was easily resolved.
In the base, the driver of the team chatted with the returning investigators. They had confidence in the investigators, so they were not worried that the herd of alien beasts would break through the defense line built by the investigators.
When the person in charge of the base returned to the base, the driver of the team said goodbye.
"Boom boom..."
The engine roared, and the team turned around and left the base to go to the next place.
In the sky, the alien beasts that fled in panic gathered again in the sky. At this time, there were only twelve or thirteen of them in total. Compared with the hundreds or thousands of them before, it was a heavy loss of life and death.
"Roar..."
The leading beast looked back at the direction where the investigator left, with a look of resentment in its eyes. It roared with its companions and decided to take revenge on those enemies.
…………
Outside the forest, the valley where the pig-headed camp was located was shrouded in fog this morning.
The white fog was very thick, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you in such an environment.
In the dormitory, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead opened his eyes while sleeping on the bed, and then he heard the pig-headed warriors outside talking.
"Today's fog is so thick!"
"Such a thick fog will disperse when the sun rises to a certain height later."
"There has never been such a thick fog before."
"I wonder what the situation is outside the valley?"
"There shouldn't be such a thick fog outside the valley, right?"
"That's hard to say."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the table, picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water. After drinking it, he opened the door of the dormitory and walked out.
"Sir, good morning." The pig-headed warrior who was chatting saw the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead and hurriedly greeted him.
"Good morning." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead responded to these people with a smile, and then he raised his head and looked into the distance.
It was okay in the camp. Although there was fog, it was not as thick as outside the camp.
Maybe it was because there were no plants in the camp, there would be much less water vapor, so the thickness of the fog would be much thinner than outside.
"This fog is too thick!" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had heard what the pig-headed warrior said in the dormitory before, but he didn't have a very clear feeling. Now that he came out to see it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Kacha."
There was a sound in the dormitory next door, and the handsome pig-headed logistics captain opened the door and walked out of the dormitory.
"Morning!" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead greeted his friends.
"Morning." The handsome pig-headed logistics captain nodded in response.
"There was fog in the morning before, but it was far less than today!" said the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
"In an hour, the fog should be dispelled by the sun," said the handsome pig-headed logistics captain.
At first, all the pig-headed people in the camp were surprised by the foggy weather this morning, but later they gradually got used to it and went about their own business.
When the gong for dinner sounded in the camp, everyone started running towards the canteen.
After breakfast, the handsome pig-headed logistics captain did not let the pig-headed soldiers go out to perform their tasks.
"Captain, what happened?" A pig-headed soldier asked in confusion.
The camp has not been built yet, and we should hurry up to build the camp. Suddenly, everyone was confused when they said that the construction of the camp would be temporarily stopped.
The handsome pig-headed logistics captain had long thought that his subordinates would have questions, and he spoke.
"Yesterday I received an order from my superiors saying that there was a dangerous beast wandering in the nearby area, so for safety reasons, don't go out for the time being."
"So that's the case!" The pig-headed soldier nodded after hearing this, and no longer had any doubts.
The handsome pig-headed logistics captain did not tell his subordinates the truth because he didn't want everyone to be under too much psychological pressure.
After all, the rebels are more dangerous than the monsters and bring more pressure.
Since we can't leave the camp, let's take a two-day vacation and have a good rest.
We have been busy building the camp these days, and we have felt some fatigue physically and mentally. Now we can rest, and many people have returned to the dormitory.
After all the pig-headed warriors dispersed, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead turned his head and looked at his friend, saying, "I'm going to the place where the spirit stone mine was found now."
"Be careful on the road." The handsome pig-headed logistics captain said.
"Yeah." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, and then he turned back to the dormitory.
In the quiet dormitory, after the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked into the room, he walked to the corner, picked up his weapon and put it on his back, then he opened the cabinet, took out a bag of unfinished dry food and put it in his arms.
The handsome pig-headed logistics captain was waiting at the gate of the camp, and when he saw his friend coming over, he spoke.
"Did you bring any dry food?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said with a smile, "Yes."
"You didn't bring any dry food that you didn't finish eating before?" asked the handsome pig-headed logistics captain.
"Yes." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded with a smile.
"No need to be so frugal, we have abundant supplies around us, and we don't lack food." The handsome pig-headed logistics captain said.
"The leftover dry food is not spoiled, it can be eaten, and there are many fresh wild fruits along the way, so you can't eat much dry food." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said.
"Okay!" The handsome pig-headed logistics captain didn't say anything more about the dry food, and then said a good trip, and watched his friend leave.
