Chapter 84: Suddenly Arrives
Ling Cheng magnified the image he saw in the panoramic window on a light screen.
This way, he could clearly see the people appearing in the windows.
There were mercenaries with tattoos, laborers responsible for moving heavy objects, and someone wearing glasses who seemed to be either a guide or an expert in some field.
These people of all kinds formed an exploration team.
This is the most basic structure of every surface base entering the forbidden zone exploration team.
Ling Cheng spoke through the mecha’s external function, “Black Hawk Company has already banned exploration, why are you still knowingly violating the rules.”
A mercenary with a scorpion tattoo on his arm shouted, “It’s been five days.”
“We have been out of work for five days.”
“Young master, you are not from the surface.”
“You simply wouldn’t understand what being out of work for five days means to us.”
“We have wives and children to support.”
“And we seek shelter in the base, having to pay residency fees every month.”
“But the settlement did not exempt us from paying for our living expenses when we stopped working.”
“Besides that.”
“We have to pay for everything we eat, wear, and use.”
“While not letting us work.”
“Still charging us various fees.”
“Young master, we really can’t bear it. If we don’t go in and take risks, we will all starve.”
Ling Cheng looked a bit confused.
Although his family was very ordinary, they could make ends meet in the underground city as long as they were willing to work.
He found what the mercenary said to be unfamiliar and didn’t know where to start.
In the end, he could only say, “We will fight here, you will explore here, it will be very dangerous.”
“You should go, quickly leave this place.”
The mercenary nodded and said, “Alright, we will leave now.”
Ling Cheng didn’t immediately return to the camp, he stayed there on guard, in case a giant beast suddenly appeared.
After the explorers left, Ling Cheng returned to the base and informed the assessment committee about the incident.
Inside Falcon Base.
Upon receiving the news, Wei Fenghua immediately contacted Black Hawk Company.
Black Hawk Company replied quickly.
“Director Wei, I’m sorry to hear such news.”
“But our company has very limited power in this matter.”
“We cannot control the actions of the residents in the base.”
“Of course, if they violate the ban first.”
“So, whatever happens in the forbidden area is their own responsibility.”
“Your school is not responsible for this.”
After hearing Black Hawk Company Gao Rui’s response, Wei Fenghua could only inform the students that testing would continue, and the college had no obligation to protect those who were willingly putting themselves in danger.
But neither Wei Fenghua nor Ling Cheng.
Were aware of.
In the building where the explorers stayed before, in some hidden corners, they seemed to have left behind many things.
Those are some black bottles with silver-gray bird patterns on them.
This bird has narrow and pointed wings, a short and wide beak, just like a falcon.
The black bottles seem to have loose caps, leaking gas with a “hissing” sound, and the gas quickly dissolves into the air, disappearing.
The sun has set.
In the campsite.
After dinner, Ling Cheng strolled in the campsite.
He exhaled, rubbed his hands, feeling that the forbidden area tonight seemed colder than the past few days.
“Xia Yun senior just contacted us.”
Shen Yu’s voice came from behind.
Ling Cheng turned around, the moonlight shining on his somewhat fierce face.
Shen Yu continued, “Xia Yun senior means that the test only has two days left.”
“No matter how we hunt lower rank giant beasts, we can’t catch up with the scores of the other two teams.”
“He thinks we should target the middle rank giant beast.”
Killing a middle rank giant beast can earn 2000 credits.
Killing one is equivalent to killing two lower ranks.
Moreover…
Inside a forbidden area, although lower rank giant beasts are the most numerous.
But not enough to earn points from.
These days, Ling Cheng and Xia Yun teamed up to quickly improve their ranking by targeting easier opponents.
However.
This is the edge of a forbidden area.
There are not many giant beasts here in the first place.
Even the lower-ranked ones.
After a few days, they had basically defeated all of them.
If they wanted to find more lower-ranked opponents to defeat.
They might have to venture beyond the safe zone.
After some thought, Ling Cheng nodded and said, “Alright, didn’t we discover the trace of a ‘Quru’?”
“Tomorrow…”
Before he could finish his sentence, an alarm suddenly sounded in the camp.
Then from the command center, a staff member hurriedly ran out shouting,
“Ling Cheng, Shen Yu!”
“Something’s wrong.”
“There is a giant beast!”
“A giant beast is coming towards us.”
“A ‘Feather Insect’ type has already triggered our air defense system.”
“But the radar shows that at least seven more giant beasts are approaching us!”
Ling Cheng was surprised, how could there be so many giant beasts?
Did they come out from the forbidden area?
He then shouted loudly, “Everyone evacuate!”
“Everyone evacuate!”
Although their camp had defenses, how could they defend against a total of eight giant beasts!
While shouting, he ran towards the mecha with Shen Yu.
Quickly.
Ling Cheng entered the cockpit of the mecha, quickly started various instruments, and activated the mecha.
Then turned on the giant beast radar.
Immediately.
The radar showed that there were eight spectral signals heading towards their camp.
Five of the signals were blue, while the remaining three were orange.
“Five heads lower rank, three heads middle rank…”
Ling Cheng took a sharp breath.
Just then.
A section of the road in the distance of the camp suddenly burst into flames, with a large flame rising up, casting the silhouette of a sheep.
It was a Nine-tailed Sheep.
More flames rose up, and the sound of explosions shattered the quiet night.
The explosion of the anti-giant beast landmines was loud, and from the continuous explosions, it was clear that a giant beast had entered the minefield.
At the same time,
The high-altitude alert net continued to sound the alarm.
The sky was already filled with a loud whistling sound.
In the panoramic window, Ling Cheng saw a flying beast with bird-like features but a female body, flying towards them.
It was the ‘Guhuo Bird’, a middle-ranking giant beast that they had previously killed in the First Grade Group A.
That day,
It took all three mechas of Luo Yan and his friends to defeat a ‘Guhuo Bird’.
Now, there were only two mechas left in the First Grade Group B camp.
How do we deal with so many giant beasts?
“Run!”
“Hurry, run!”
Ling Cheng shouted, “I’ll protect you, go quickly.”
While Shen Yu drove the mecha to lead the way for his classmates, he also contacted the judges to report the situation here.
The incident happened suddenly.
Group B didn’t have time to pack up, they had to abandon a lot of supplies.
The cars drove out of the camp.
Following Shen Yu’s mecha, they ran into the vast night. Behind them, Ling Cheng, driving the dark red mecha, had already raised his rifle and started firing.
Ling Cheng was not as brave as a hero.
He only used the power of the mecha to distract and protect.
He fought while retreating.
He hoped to lead the giant beast in a different direction, away from attacking the convoy.
