The lord of salted fish does not want to engage in construction

Just as they were speaking, the group of star beasts crossed the mech's defense identification circle.

It's not that Rongdi can't handle these star beasts that appear independently.

Within the coverage of the ability perception, he can try to open up a passage, so that the other six mechas can pass through as soon as possible without encountering the enemy.

But this method is not safe.As long as any unexpected situation arises, it may put other people in great danger.

Rong Di also wanted to avoid it by taking a detour.However, this group of star beasts seems to be able to sense the movement and direction of their movement.He tried to change direction twice, and those star beasts would soon follow.

The challenge in front of him is not too difficult at this time, but what Rong Di is worried about is that if he can't figure out the situation of these star beasts, and encounter such a wave of star beasts at the terminal base, they may be attacked by enemies, and the situation will become even more out of control.

It seems to feel that the distance between himself and the target is shortening rapidly, which makes these incoming star beasts speed up their approach.

Faced with such a situation, the mechas that were waiting in battle decided to stop firing.

The light of the weapon cut through the darkness of the jungle night, and it was extremely clear in this background.

On the radar map, the red dots in the front are obviously missing a row.

Compared with the previous 20 days when encountering the star beast tide, the current team's combat power has been significantly strengthened by a large amount.Although there are fewer attack points, the mechas from the blades are all powerful, and the output ability is naturally not the same.

Congjun and the others didn't question Rongdi's decision, but were somewhat curious about the reason for the sudden stop.

Judging from the fighting ability that Rong Di has shown in front of them, these star beasts should not pose an obvious threat.Rongdi's response was more cautious than they expected.

However, after the direct contact with the star beast, even the sound of breathing in the entire mech communication channel became serious.

They were armed and strengthened by the mechs, but the scene of encountering the horde of star beasts did not become one-sided.

In the past, the star beasts that could be killed with a light weapon in hand, now under the attack of a high-powered weapon, [-]% can still survive and continue to move forward.

The fastest-moving small flying star beast was not only not dispersed by the artillery fire and gunpowder smoke, but was even forced out of a more chaotic flight path.Their staggering sometimes bumps into attacks that don't aim at them. While looking for death, it hinders the mecha's original attack plan.

More star beasts found hiding places in this artillery net, and the speed of approaching continued to exceed the psychological expectations of the team members.

This kind of intelligence and protective ability is definitely not the standard of the C-level beast star they have been used to for more than 20 days.

"There's something wrong with these star beasts!!!" Cong Jun filled the gap in defense with one blow, his tone anxious.

Irregular disappearance time, activity intensity beyond common sense.These are extremely unusual signals, beyond the scope of the general star beast tide.

Combined with the delicate situation that drove them to travel as soon as possible, everyone couldn't help but think too much.

What does such a signal mean?

But such speculation has no answer.

The artillery fire seemed to attract a large number of star beasts.

Half an hour passed, and there were still a steady stream of star beasts approaching them, without any sign of stopping.

Rong Di decided to make a quick decision.

The lone mech directly rushed into the dense crowd of star beasts.The surging supernatural perception began to try to break through the barrier of creatures, and directly manipulate all the substances close to the body of the star beast.

The invisible energy interweaves into a denser fishing net, grabbing all the prey that appears.

After the pressure of the six people behind eased, the light of the weapon began to gradually weaken.

Until Rongdi's mecha returned from the calm jungle in a dim body, the six people guarding outside the gap felt like they were alive after a catastrophe.

"Is it because the light of our counterattack is also attracting more star beasts?" Ren Zimo asked worriedly.

"That's not the point." Rongdi's mecha went straight back to the gap, and watched the six people walk out of the crowded refuge space one by one, he called Luther, "Do you remember the last positions of the other eight teams? "

Luther was taken aback for a moment, but after he realized that he was very excited that he could finally help, he nodded repeatedly, fearing that Rong Di would not be able to see him, and shouted: "I remember! But I can't guarantee that the memory is accurate. At that time, my main concern was The most important thing is our position. Behind us, the fastest walking is Yuanze, but they are on the norther side of us. Then follow the long screen, bipolar and pure black, the progress is about the same, and then follow Follow their direction to go around to the east, the positions of the remaining bases are not much staggered, only the real hammer base is at the end, and the distance is relatively obvious. The nine landing points arranged by the Hoshino Administration just happen to be around the terminal base. Circle, now the distance between everyone has been shortened a lot. We walked out for a few hours, and they may change again."

"How far are they from the finish line?" Rong Di asked again.

"That's hard to say, I don't have the accurate data to remember." Luther struggled for a while, trying to recall, "We are already the fastest, all the teams are together, and the guests in the live broadcast room judged during the last analysis, we respectively It takes five to eight days to reach the finish line."

"There is still a progress gap of 3 days in the middle? This distance is at least a hundred kilometers away!" Cong Jun converted the meaning of the number of days in a blink of an eye.

"No way, they said, the real hammer failed to maintain its advantage in the early stage, and it began to show signs of decline before the halfway mark. It seemed that another member of the team was injured. In order to take care of this situation, they kept pulling for the entire second half of the schedule. Open the gap with other teams. I also think that the actual hammer base does not have the level to finish the race within 30 days."

"We can't afford to wait for 8 days." Ren Zimo pointed out the key point, "Also, they may all encounter this special wave of star beasts. Based on the current situation, I am afraid they cannot resist it."

This is definitely bad news.

If it is still a competition environment, their progress is understandable.Man Feihang originally played with the idea that it would be good to finish the game, and he didn't have any thoughts of winning.But the current situation has taken a turn for the worse. If he doesn't understand, he may fall into extreme danger at any time.

Do you want to sit idly by them?

"Go ahead, let's speed up." Rong Di turned around and ordered without further explanation.

After being delayed by this strange wave of star beasts again, when the re-starting mecha team approached the terminal base, it was already approaching the time when the group of star beast swarms would arrive in the early morning.

But no one can be sure whether everything will be the same as the previous 20 days.

At this time, 14 hours had passed since the sudden attack by the blade.Their terminals and the communication equipment snatched from the blade still failed to find any signal.

All lucky thoughts also fell into the abyss with the passing time.

Aid from satellite ports was equally muted.

The sky was as quiet as if nothing had happened yet.

But the invisible countdown clock seemed to be hanging high above everyone's heads, making everyone breathless.

The tense hours of rushing on the road greatly exhausted everyone's physical strength, and they still couldn't relax completely.

The terminal base is hidden in a natural rift deep in the jungle, supported by the stone walls on all sides, this man-made building is embedded in this sunken space like a filler.The area is not large.

The base does not fit perfectly with the mouth of the rift valley, there are large gaps in some places, and small gaps in some places.And a forest was transplanted on the top of the entire base as a concealment project, which seemed to be completely integrated into the surroundings, but it was useless for defending against the enemy.

Rong Di, who explored the path first, found the entrance of the base.

The entrance and exit are set at the gap between the base and the stone wall, and can only be seen along a sunken path.Not easy to find, but also not strategic.

The only good news is that there is no one waiting at this terminal base.

After successfully obtaining the access authority, the entire base switched from standby to normal operation.

13 people gathered in the small command room, and the atmosphere was even more dignified.

Perhaps because this base has only a ceremonial role in the plan, there are extremely few useful configurations.Among them, the detection radius of the activated radar is not much larger than the perception range of Rongdi's abilities; the program for automatically identifying foreign enemies has been intentionally removed; the base's external monitoring cameras only have two locations: the entrance, the top, and the bottom, which cannot be covered at all Basic defensive blind spots.

Also, all networked devices are unresponsive.

Even well-trained soldiers began to lose their temper.

"Why hasn't the communication network been restored yet?" Cong Jun pressed those buttons violently, but got no response at all, "Even if the star network base station is damaged in battle, the garrison at the satellite port will definitely have sufficient replacement hardware .Replacement! Repair! Isn’t this the basic homework for all stations? Even if you can’t return the contact with Infield, at least you should be able to guarantee communication with us. Are all the satellites in global orbit also damaged?”

"What kind of emergency will shut down all these devices together?" Ren Zimo asked following his words.

"How could there be such a situation!" Cong Jun replied irritably, but after the answer, he was suddenly taken aback, as if thinking of something.

"The only resource we can use now is this small transport ship." Ren Zimo tapped the light screen to reveal the base structure map.

Below the location covered by the dense forest, the space above the command room hides the smallest transport ship.

The control authority of the transport ship is also here in the command room, and all program self-checks are fine.

It's just that if they decide to start the transport ship now, the backup program will automatically clear the obstacles covering the deck area, exposing the bare ascent channel.

That is to say, when the star beast tide may approach the entire base at any time, the transport ship has only one chance to start and leave.

The problem returns to the most difficult situation that everyone can't bear to face.

To go, or not to go?

If they leave, what will the remaining eight teams do?

After the transport ship lifts off, will there be a chance to return for rescue?

The pressure of this decision fell back on Rong Di again, but he did not hesitate.

"Luther, is the map ready?" Rong Di asked.

"It's done!" Luther subconsciously raised his chest and replied.

"However, I am only where they were 15 hours ago. It is impossible to judge whether they are still there."

Rongdi skipped over this shortcoming and asked again: "How much time would it take theoretically to run all over the place?"

Luther was startled, unable to answer.

"Including the search time, it is expected to take another three days." Ren Zimo, who was watching, frowned and reported a number, "There are still 3 people outside."
