Chapter 136: Underground Base
After a while, the "Unicorn" shuttle that came to support emptied its ammunition, but apparently had no intention of landing, probably because of its amazing weight, it was difficult to find a suitable landing site.
However, it circled twice in mid-air, and incidentally, after firing several incendiary rockets towards the area where people might be hiding, it began to slowly fall towards the ground, and then opened at a height of about ten meters. hover mode.
Immediately afterwards, people jumped directly from the belly of the aircraft. At this time, although Fang Linyan escaped three or four kilometers away, he obviously kept the mechanical spear falcon here for monitoring.
So in the field of vision shared by the mechanical spear falcon, it was immediately discovered that the soldiers who jumped from the shuttle should all be warriors in the space, and among them was the former tyrannical hunter Melt.
There is also an acquaintance Fang Linyan who also knows, mainly because the emerald green bow and arrow she is carrying is too conspicuous, it is Daisi who once surrounded and killed Fang Linyan,
As for the hunter: although Deng Fang Linyan, the astrologer, did not know him, he was quite noticeable when he jumped out of the plane.
It's not like the rest of the people landed as if a stone fell directly, but as if there were layers of translucent stairs in front of them, they used a very calm way of walking down.
Not only that, Deng seemed to sense something after Fang Linyan's eyes fell on him, smiled slightly, and then turned his head to look over.
Of course, what Deng was looking at at this time was the eyes of a mechanical spear falcon disguised as a spore moth.
The next second, the screen went black, and Fang Linyan's battle reminder also came with news:
"Contractor ZB419, your summoned creature mechanical spear has been attacked!"
"The health of your summoned creature Mechanical Spear Falcon has returned to zero."
Feeling the strong malice emanating from this guy, Fang Linyan also narrowed his eyes, knowing that his enemy had come to restrain himself.
The federal army is clearly at an advantage, not to mention the addition of the encirclement and suppression of the colonizers. Even with the geographical advantage, it is obvious that the next few days will be difficult.
Thinking of this, Fang Linyan was even more fortunate that the attack that he had successfully organized while the opponent's foothold was still unsteady not only frustrated the opponent's intention to gain a foothold, but also got a lot of supplies from the camp.
At least tonight the federal army has to spend the night in fear, which means that the camp will be able to operate normally tomorrow.
This obviously greatly delayed the opponent's progress. The more than ten hours won at this time, maybe it is the key to decide the victory or defeat in the end.
***
twilight falls,
A faint haze of smoke began to spread in the ball fern swamp, and even formed a momentum that seemed to flow like a veil.
When passing through the fungal forest, this layer of smoke was even dyed a touch of yellow or red, and it seemed to have an indescribable beauty.
At the same time, a creature called the black-striped frog living in the swamp began to cry loudly. This creature is probably similar to a salamander. Although it is named after a frog, its skin looks similar to a toad. .
The way it hunts is to spray fangs from its mouth. In a short distance, the lethality of its fangs is astonishing, like sharp arrows.
After being hit by a normal person, it is no different from being hit by an arrow, let alone the prey that he has taken his fancy.
There are also a large number of insects similar to crickets, scorpions, etc., and they can't wait to rub the generators on their wings and join the chorus of the night.
Fang Linyan and the three stood on a large rock, watching the wonderful swamp in front of them.
In their hearts, this alien swamp is full of death and toxins, and it must be full of danger after dark.
But if you look at this place with the leisurely attitude of a bystander or a zoologist, you will find that there is vitality and new life everywhere.
Beside the three was a giant fern as huge as a tree.
Its shape is the same as that of the iron tree. The top of the stubby cylindrical trunk with a diameter of seven or eight meters grows more than a dozen feather-like leaves, and the shortest can reach more than eight meters.
If you look at it from a distance, the shape of this thing is quite similar to a feather shuttlecock.
Looking closely, each leaf has a silver texture, which looks very beautiful, and its buds show a typical fist shape.
Of course, the most striking feature of this plant is that in the center of the top of the canopy, a large number of golden-yellow fruits the size of a basketball are densely packed.
This fruit is round and looks very good. Its shell is very tough. When the pulp inside is mature, it will quickly ferment and produce a lot of gas, until the whole fruit is directly split open, and it explodes with a bang.
There are a lot of golden seeds like watermelon seeds inside, and at this moment, they will fly dozens of meters away by the explosion. If there is still wind at that time, it is not uncommon to fly a kilometer or two away.
Such anomalies have led botanists to name this giant fern the fern, and on this planet, there are the most ferns here, so it is named the swamp of the fern.
At this time, Fang Linyan and the three were obscured by the broad feather-like leaves of the ball fern, so even if the enemy had any aerial detection methods, it would be difficult to obtain them.
About ten meters to the right of Fang Linyan and the three of them, there was a depression fifty or sixty meters in diameter, but the bottom was very dry and stony.
On the stone wall next to the depression, there is a hole that is five meters high and about ten meters wide.
Because there are giant ferns and large fungi everywhere, it is difficult to find this place even by flying at an ultra-low altitude.
Not only that, there are also many large plants/fungi in the surrounding area, so even if there are any traces left by the activities of the star thief and others nearby, they will be covered tightly.
When they got here, Fang Linyan and the three of them were also equipped with standard portable terminal watches from Capsule Technology, and they could also read various information shared by Star Thief in the first time.
The goat's nose suddenly twitched a few times and said:
"It smells good! Is this how they started making dinner?"
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lieutenant Colonel Damoc to come out and greet the three of them to come in and eat.
Although this underground base is in the swamp, it is quite dry and spacious, especially its area, which is estimated to be at least tens of thousands of square meters.
There are more than 50 bedrooms, 12 large and small warehouses, and even the flush toilets and bathrooms in the toilets are all equipped with assisted living facilities.
Fang Linyan was a little surprised at the unusually huge amount of work in this underground base at first, but after taking a closer look, he found that its structure was somewhat familiar.
After Fang Linyan saw the traces on the cave wall next to him, he suddenly realized:
It is obvious that the giant blood worm was driven to dig it out. The overall layout is almost not much different from the giant blood worm's nest, but the senses are very different after being carefully transformed by the red shuttle star thief.
Fang Linyan also walked into the room arranged for them, and found that except that there were no windows, it looked quite similar to the hotel in Tutujia Xinggang, and it was so complete that it was hard to believe his eyes.
Not only that, compared to the Federal Army, the treatment of the Chisuo star thieves is also much better:
For example, the rationing system is implemented, and free rationing can be applied for before going to war, which includes weapons, ammunition, medical kits, etc.
After Fang Linyan and the three heard it, they decided to stroke the wool from tomorrow. Although the items they distributed could neither be sold nor brought out of this world, they could save money by replacing other consumables. ......
Under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Damoc, they came to the dining room, which is about 60 square meters, and there are eight square tables in it. The air is full of the aroma of food, and several people at the tables have already started.
The rule of the star thieves is to have a table of four people and eat directly. Fang Linyan and the three of them plus Lieutenant Colonel Damoc just filled a table.
A star thief with a dirty white chef hat brought three basins directly to their table:
The pots are two big and one small,
Then he signaled that the cutlery, fork and stainless steel plate should be picked up on the shelf next to him, and the dirty plates should be put in the designated place after eating.
The two large pots are filled with staple foods, namely pasta and hot toasted slices of bread.
In the relatively small pot, there is a pot of yellow paste with a very general appearance, but it smells fragrant.
You can use it to mix pasta or spread it on bread.
Fang Linyan scooped a spoonful and tasted it, and found that he really couldn't judge people by their appearance, oh no, they should judge food by their appearance. I don't know if it was because I was hungry, but I thought this thing tasted great.
