#2840 - Hostility
"What about the alien insects? Are they still in the mine?"
"They're still in the mining area. We just tried, and we get attacked by the insect swarm as soon as we enter the outskirts of the mining area."
Joachim turned his head to look in the direction of the mining area, his brow furrowed, preparing to take people to check the mining area.
"Boss." A confidant player gently nudged Joachim's shoulder and whispered, "Look, the resource energy reaction in the mining area is abnormal."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Joachim looked down at the surveyor in the player's hand, and his expression changed slightly.
What the hell!?
The energy reaction is rapidly depleting!
How could this be?
Joachim suddenly raised his head and looked again at the location of the mining area.
What exactly happened there?
Where's the ore?
Why is it being consumed so quickly!?
Did the alien insects eat it!?
"Report!!"
Two more squad players rushed to report, one after the other.
Joachim said coldly, "Speak!"
"Boss, the A-29 mining area is under attack by alien insects, we can't resist..."
"Enough! Don't say anymore!"
Joachim's eyes were filled with anger.
Only his mining area was repeatedly attacked by insect swarms.
Besides Fang Heng, who else could it be?
But even if he knew who the enemy was now, what could he do?
Faced with the absolute power of the alien insects, he had no ability to counterattack!
All the other mining areas are fine, but they're specifically targeting Joachim?
Zolan was originally preparing to teach Joachim a good lesson and give him a taste of his own medicine, but after learning of this news, he temporarily abandoned his plan.
Is it Fang Heng?
Heh! Interesting!
It seems Joachim has kicked an iron plate this time.
Let him have a good lesson!
Just as Zolan was thinking, several spatial warp teleportation lights flashed inside the warship.
Joachim led several of his men to the warship aggressively and walked up to Zolan.
"Joachim? What's the matter?"
"Captain, Fang Heng is controlling alien insects to openly invade my mining area and destroy our ore. Isn't the Federation going to step in and stop it?!"
"Joachim." Zolan stared at Joachim coldly, "The Mind Crystal ore does not belong to any of you privately, understand?"
Joachim clenched his fists, staring back without fear, "Are you saying that the Federation allows us to take action to seize the mining area?"
"Seize? As far as I know, your mining area is under attack by alien insects."
Zolan looked at Joachim coldly and asked, "You said you were accusing Fang Heng of controlling the alien insect swarm to occupy your mining area, do you have any evidence to prove it?"
Joachim was momentarily speechless.
He knew that Fang Heng was behind this.
But what about evidence?
What evidence could he have?
Watching the large number of mines he had acquired in the early stages being eroded one after another by alien insects, Joachim was powerless, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his skin.
Joachim took a deep breath.
"Captain, the mining area is in crisis. I request the Federation to send troops to help me defeat the alien insect swarm attacking the mining area."
"Hmph! Joachim! Do you know what you're saying? Sending troops for you alone? I hope you understand! The Federation is not just for you!"
Captain Zolan had long been dissatisfied with Joachim's actions in the game, not to mention that Joachim's actions against Fang Heng had already crossed his bottom line.
He wanted him to take action with just a word of apology?
What a joke!
Zolan didn't mind giving Joachim a profound lesson.
Joachim took a deep breath, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness, "Captain, are you unwilling to help me?"
Zolan sensed the threat in Joachim's tone and was even more displeased, saying coldly, "I didn't say that. We will discuss the matter of the mining area being attacked by alien insects and give you a reply later."
"Captain Zolan, I hope you don't regret today's choice."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Am I? Since the Federation is openly protecting Fang Heng, there's no point in me staying here. Farewell!"
"Heh..."
Zolan watched Joachim leave using the warp channel, feeling even more angry.
Just a mercenary.
He actually dared to threaten him?
Ridiculous!
It would be best for this kind of person to leave his warship.
On the other side, Joachim led his men out of the warship through the warp channel in a rage.
"Boss, we're just leaving like this?"
"Otherwise? Can you deal with those alien insects?"
The subordinate was immediately speechless.
"Hmph." Joachim snorted coldly, "I admit that I've failed this time, but before I leave, I'll give them a taste of their own medicine."
"Boss, what are you going to do?"
Joachim raised his head and glanced coldly at the warship, "If I can't get it, they can't have it either!"
......
Central desert area.
As several underground passages were opened, after more than four hours of idleness, ore materials began to be continuously transported over again. Wien led a group of players to sort them in shifts.
A whole day and night!
Wien and Wu Xiao and a group of players were already numb.
Why did they have to provoke Fang Heng for nothing?
Sorting day and night was even more painful than being in prison.
At the same time, Fang Heng was sitting in the center of the mine, remotely controlling the zombie clones to find new mining areas.
Several large mining areas occupied by Joachim were emptied.
Master-level Mental Studies had also been maxed out.
Currently, there was still a large gap before exchanging for a Grandmaster-level skill book.
Based on the current efficiency, counting the subsequent completion of the Grandmaster-level skill book exchange, and then maxing out the entire Grandmaster-level skill experience, he would still have to leave some to exchange for 'unlock' after exiting the game...
There were still many places to spend contribution points.
According to this efficiency, he would probably have to grind for another 3-4 days.
He didn't know if there were enough alien insects and ore in this world for him to grind.
Should he summon all the zombie clones deployed in the Dead World and then concentrate all his strength on mining?
Just as Fang Heng was thinking, a game prompt suddenly appeared on his retina.
[Hint: Detected that the current overall damage level of the interstellar warship exceeds 30%. The warship is under attack by an alien insect swarm. The player has triggered an emergency mission - Rescue the Warship].
Mission Name: Rescue the Warship.
Mission Description: The warship is continuously under attack by a large number of alien insect swarms. The current damage level has exceeded 30%. If the warship is destroyed, the player will not be able to continue. Please be careful!
Mission Requirements: Support the Warship (the mission will receive additional contribution points).
Fang Heng's pupils suddenly shrank.
Not good.
Warship!
The method of entering this game world is through the warship.
It's like the unique teleportation method of the Scavengers.
He was having a good time grinding here, but if the warship encountered trouble and self-destructed, wouldn't it be a waste of time if he couldn't send out the gems he had mined for so long and couldn't exchange them for contribution points?
Even worse, he might not even be able to escape the game?
Fang Heng immediately stood up and jumped out from below the mine.
