#2842 - Return to Support
The alien insects are fighting each other!?
It seems like the new batch of ant colonies isn't interested in the ship?
Then let's ignore them for now.
Keep bombarding!
The dense energy cannons continued to target the bone-devouring ant colony.
Huh?
It's players!
Inside the ship's control room, the operator immediately aimed the monitoring camera at the group of players emerging from the hole below the ship.
It's Fang Heng?
And Wien, Wu Xiao, Acrylic, and a group of mercenaries.
It really is them!
Zoran waved his hand and said, "Activate the teleportation jump channel below! Bring them up, immediately!"
"Yes!"
Fang Heng led the group of players behind him out of the ground.
Damn…
It was the first time the players had seen such a terrifying and bloody battlefield around them. The sound of energy cannons echoed in their ears, and the pungent smell of blood drilled straight into their noses. Alien insect limbs were flying everywhere.
"Buzz… Buzz…"
Wu Xiao took a clear look at the surrounding battle situation and was secretly shocked.
Boss Fang's summoned creatures are so powerful! They can actually hold on!
The players raised their weapons and stood guard.
After a moment, beams of teleportation light rose from above the ship.
Everyone turned their attention to Fang Heng.
"Don't rush, wait a little longer."
Fang Heng said, nodding to Acrylic.
"Understood!"
Acrylic waved his hand at several trusted players, and they immediately turned back and entered the pit below.
Inside the ship, Captain Zoran frowned when he saw the actions of Fang Heng and his group outside.
"Captain, what are they waiting for? Teleportation consumes a lot of energy."
"Don't rush, wait a little longer."
Zoran was also a little strange and signaled his men to wait patiently.
What are they waiting for?
After a while, they saw Acrylic's men laboriously carrying boxes from the cave floor back to the ground. The soldiers in the monitoring room immediately showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Box after box?
The operator immediately aimed the camera at the boxes.
Ores?
So they directly dug a tunnel from the underground passage?
And so many!?
The operator looked back at Zoran, his eyes filled with surprise.
At first glance, the boxes were filled with high-level spiritual jades!
Not raw ore crystals! But refined jades!
How did they do it?
Surprise also appeared in Zoran's eyes as he stared at the screen for a while.
So many ores…
So they have some kind of rapid refining technique?
Soon, Zoran returned to normal and said, "Don't leak what you see and hear, understand?"
The soldiers looked solemn and saluted Zoran in unison, "Yes!"
It took more than ten minutes for Acrylic to call his men to transport the boxes containing S-grade materials back to the ship one after another. Only then did Fang Heng take Zha Ka and a few others back to the ship first.
The inside of the cabin was very deserted. Besides a group of guarding soldiers, only Captain Zoran was standing there alone.
Wu Xiao waved his hand and greeted, "Captain Zoran."
Zoran's gaze first lingered on the boxes behind Fang Heng and his group for a moment before he turned to look at Fang Heng and the others, and said in a deep voice, "Well, you're back, and it seems you've brought back a lot of things."
"Good luck, we got a batch of spiritual jades."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
If it were normal, Zoran would have been overjoyed by Fang Heng's great harvest.
But he wasn't in the mood now.
Wien asked, "Captain Zoran, we heard that the ship was in trouble, so we rushed back immediately."
"That's right, the ship needs your help. I believe you have all received the prompts. The ship is currently under attack, and some parts of the ship have been damaged. We have just activated the emergency barrier, but the barrier energy is being consumed extremely quickly and cannot last for too long."
Fang Heng listened and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
These West Beacon Federation teammates are unreliable.
He had already collected a large number of spiritual jades outside and was waiting to send them back to exchange for contribution points. But when he turned around, how was his home being demolished?
Can't even defend a home?
Wien asked, "I wonder what arrangements you have, Captain?"
"The Federation's military support will arrive successively to help us resist the alien insect swarm. In addition, a warship is already coming to our world through teleportation to provide support. We only need to survive this difficult period now."
Survive a little longer? Wait for another warship to come and support?
Fang Heng listened and felt more and more that the West Beacon Federation was unreliable.
He had already roughly seen the strength of the warship. Could another one defeat the insect swarm?
Su Guan Tong thought for a while and asked, "Captain, the insect swarm's offensive is very strange this time. What caused it?"
"It concerns the secrets of our West Beacon Federation, and I cannot reveal it to you."
Zoran glanced at Su Guan Tong and continued, "There are a large number of emergency special tasks released inside the ship. Completing the tasks can earn you extra battlefield contribution points provided by the Federation. In addition, we also need a large amount of energy crystal ore supplies. If you can get them, I will ask the West Beacon Federation to fight for more contribution points for you. Time is tight, let's get started. This is a good opportunity for you."
As he spoke, another soldier hurried over and whispered a few words in Zoran's ear.
"Everyone, excuse me."
Zoran hurriedly left with the soldiers.
Everyone looked at each other.
Su Guan Tong took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "The situation is not right."
"Ah?" Wu Xiao was a little strange, blinked, and asked in confusion, "Isn't it just that the ship is being attacked by an insect swarm? What's wrong with that?"
Wien checked the task list on the side, walked over, and said, "Haven't you noticed that there are no other players on the ship besides us and the Federation soldiers?"
Wu Xiao was speechless for a moment.
"It's true that the ship is being attacked by an insect swarm, but at this time, players can use the ship's barrier to attack the external insect swarm without taking damage. Staying on the ship is a good way to earn more contribution points. Why would players do that?"
Acrylic frowned and said, "Are they afraid? Did they run away?"
"I'm afraid things are not that simple."
Su Guan Tong pursed her lips and said, "The ship's external defense barrier is in good condition, but the damage is serious, exceeding 30%. How did this damage come about?"
Wu Xiao was even more confused and almost subconsciously asked, "How did it come about?"
Everyone was silent.
The captain was hiding a lot from them.
Which is understandable, after all, their identities are just Federation outsourcing.
Fang Heng walked to the exchange screen and saw that the exchange column still had spiritual jade acquisition and master-level spiritual science for sale, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, don't think too much about things that may or may not happen.
As a professional outsourcer, you must learn to shut up obediently and ask fewer questions about why.
If Party A falls, then so be it. It's good to get his reward in hand.
Right now, the ship could be destroyed at any time. It's the right way to quickly transport the ore over, quickly exchange it for contribution points, and settle the master-level spiritual science.
