#2155 - Interception
Chapter 2158: Interception
Outside the research institute.
Time slipped away, second by second.
Fang Heng remained calm.
The fusion Tyrant forms were all equipped with ultra-heavy high-energy beam weapons, but they didn't immediately join the battlefield. Instead, they lined up in the rear, ready to fight at any moment.
Good steel should be used on the blade.
After all, beam weapon ammunition was limited.
Fang Heng knew that the Tree Spirit race definitely wouldn't be able to find Nium alloy, so he saved ammunition and prepared, waiting for the upcoming federal general offensive.
Moreover…
Fang Heng discovered something.
Killing them after the Federation's war machines joined the battlefield through teleportation earned even more faction contribution points!
It would be foolish not to earn them!
Fang Heng drove away a group of meddlesome Tree Speaker Alliance helpers and also drove away the remaining Tree Spirit race, relying on the Licker swarm to slowly grind!
After all, currently only unmanned war machines were teleporting in through space.
The strength of these mechanical individuals was not bad, but unfortunately, they couldn't do anything to the Licker swarm!
Just as Fang Heng was grinding, he suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Less than half an hour had passed, and the number of teleportation light spots surrounding the research institute had obviously accelerated.
Soon, a Tree Spirit elder walked out of the research institute anxiously. He looked around at the entrance and finally focused his gaze on Fang Heng.
The Tree Spirit elder hurried over and shouted, "Fang Heng, the teleportation interference device will completely fail within five minutes! We are still looking for Nium alloy. Please delay them for some more time!"
Fang Heng gave the Tree Spirit elder an okay gesture from afar.
At the same time, a game notification appeared on his retina.
【Hint: The player's current mission - Clear War Machines - has been completed, entering the settlement state.】
【Hint: Player mission completion rate 12098%.】
【Hint: Player gains 12 points of Tree Spirit race friendliness, player gains 980,000 Tree Spirit race faction contribution.】
【Hint: Player triggers side mission - Cover the Tree Spirit Race's Retreat.】
Mission Name: Cover the Tree Spirit Race's Retreat.
Mission Difficulty: SS.
Mission Requirements: The Tree Spirit race is currently still searching for traces of Nium alloy within the research institute. Please assist the Tree Spirit race in resisting the Federation war machines that arrive through teleportation, buy more time for the Tree Spirit race, and ensure the safe evacuation of the Tree Spirit race.
Failure Penalty: Decrease in Tree Spirit race friendliness.
"Not bad, not bad, another 12 Leaves of Life in the bag…"
Fang Heng glanced at the game notification and shifted his gaze back to the mid-air.
The Tree Spirits who were responsible for guarding the perimeter of the research institute also became nervous.
Naturally, they wouldn't place all their hopes on Fang Heng. They all gripped the weapons in their hands tightly.
In the night sky, the white light spots generated during the teleportation process gradually dimmed, and then disappeared briefly for two minutes.
Suddenly.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!!"
The entire night sky was instantly illuminated by the flashing space teleportation light spots!
Like countless shining stars!
The Tree Spirit race leader responsible for guarding the perimeter of the research institute frowned and immediately issued an order.
Dense rain of green arrows shot towards the light spots!
At the same time, the fusion Tyrant forms also raised the ultra-heavy beam weapons on their shoulders and fired!
Boom! Boom boom!!
The sky full of beams bombarded the teleportation light spots and exploded.
Fang Heng revealed a hint of solemnity.
The effect wasn't good.
After the teleportation interference from the Spiritual Domain Network failed, the barrier strength that space teleportation could provide had greatly increased!
Their current attack strength was already a bit unable to keep up.
Only a large amount of concentrated fire could directly break the teleportation light spots and interrupt the teleportation.
The joint first wave of attacks by the Tree Spirit race and Fang Heng's fusion Tyrant forms only eliminated less than half of the space teleportation light spots.
Not only that, but the transmission speed of the outer teleportation light spots had also undergone a qualitative improvement compared to before!
A large number of war machines teleported into the battlefield and immediately launched an offensive against the Licker swarm surrounding the research institute!
The Lickers and Treants also immediately went up to meet them, engaging in frontal combat!
Faced with this kind of fully armed mechanical creature, the effect that the Worm Body could play was very average.
Everything depended on the Licker swarm fighting head-on!
For a time, game notifications rapidly refreshed on Fang Heng's retina.
【Hint: Player's zombie clone (fusion Licker form) deals 3337 points of damage to a large war machine (spider-shaped armor V-88)…】.
【Hint: Player's zombie clone…】.
Fang Heng didn't directly join the battle, but just observed from the side, turning his head to look at the Tree Spirit race on the side.
"I need to exchange items, um, Leaves of Life, exchange all the remaining points for Leaves of Life."
The Tree Spirit race frowned, only feeling a pang of pain.
They had no choice but to listen to the Great Elder's instructions, at least temporarily stabilizing Fang Heng until this incident was over.
Thus, the Tree Spirit race could only bite the bullet and hand over more than a dozen Leaves of Life to Fang Heng again.
"Thank you."
Fang Heng put away the Leaves of Life.
The Tree Spirit race might turn their backs at any time, so he had to exchange the points as soon as possible to avoid wasting them.
Thinking, Fang Heng shifted his gaze back to the frontal battlefield.
The first batch of the Federation to enter the battlefield was a large number of unmanned mechanical units.
Since a single beam attack and comprehensive beam strikes couldn't truly kill the Lickers, the current situation was still considered controllable.
But obviously, the Lickers' output was already unable to keep up.
The greatest output was actually the fusion Tyrant forms in the rear, controlling the high-energy beam weapons.
But…
Soon, in less than five minutes, the ammunition for the ultra-heavy beam weapons ran out…
Instantly, the number of war machines teleporting through space rapidly expanded.
Fang Heng frowned tightly.
This was the power of the entire Federation combined.
It was similar to what he had imagined.
It was very difficult to resist.
The Licker swarm was constantly bombarded and sent flying, but after recovering through the 'Undying Body' effect, they rejoined the battle, barely holding back the Federation mechanical team from approaching the research institute.
The Treant swarm summoned by the Tree Spirit race wasn't so lucky.
Under the dense firepower coverage of the war machines, the number of Treants greatly decreased.
"Hmm? They're here!"
After tangling with the Federation for more than five minutes, Fang Heng's heart stirred.
As a dense array of space teleportation light spots flashed behind the battlefield, a fully armed Federation semi-mechanical modified warrior team joined the battlefield!
The Federation squad members each held remote sniper injector guns.
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!!
As soon as they entered the battlefield, the Federation semi-mechanical modified squad immediately pulled the trigger, and dense needle strikes densely covered the Licker swarm!
Rows of game notifications densely refreshed on Fang Heng's retina.
【Hint: Player's zombie clone (fusion Licker form) is affected by the unknown injection effect, player's zombie clone (fusion Licker form) loses some buff effects…】.
