#2845 - Maintenance Worker
"Good." Pang Li was very satisfied with Fang Heng's response, and instructed, "Now, take a batch of machines to assist the A3 area in reinforcement. I need you to guarantee the absolute safety of the A3 area. Can you do it?"
"Yes."
"I'll give you 20 repair robots."
Pang Li liked Fang Heng's straightforward character. With a wave of his hand, he handed over the main control authority of a batch of repair robots to Fang Heng, "I will be in charge of repairs in area B. Area A3 is up to you. If anything happens, come to area B to find me."
"Okay."
Fang Heng winked at Zha Ka and led 20 repair machines to area A3.
Pang Li glanced at the direction Fang Heng left.
Under normal circumstances, entrusting such an important task to mercenaries would violate safety regulations, but the situation is urgent, and the work task in area A3 is only reinforcement, so there won't be any problems.
"Nodding, area A6 is your responsibility. I'll give you 20 repair machines," Pang Li didn't think much about it and continued to arrange tasks, "Jack, you are responsible for A12…"
On the other side, Fang Heng and the other followed the map to enter area A3.
Behind them, the hatch door closed automatically.
Twenty repair machines gathered around the two.
"Uh…"
Zha Ka looked at Fang Heng.
"Boss Fang? What's our next step?"
"I'll go to the rear cabin sealed area to take a look. You stay outside and provide cover for me."
"Huh?" Zha Ka pointed to his nose, "Me? Cover?"
"Dong, dong dong…"
The metal wall made a somewhat brittle thumping sound.
Fortunately, the wall is not too thick.
Fang Heng took out a mechanical repair gun, aimed it at the metal wall and started cutting, and continued, "Don't worry, you control the machines to execute the reinforcement instructions. If someone comes, try to delay them. I'll go in and check it out."
In less than five minutes, the metal wall was cut open, revealing a dark entrance behind it.
As soon as the wall was cut open, a visible frosty aura overflowed from the entrance.
Zha Ka's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he quickly took two steps back.
"Ah, what is this again?"
"Just ordinary frost. I think the Federation urgently cooled the area behind the cabin to restrict the crystal worms and put them into hibernation."
Fang Heng pondered and said, "I don't know how long this state can last. You stay outside, and I'll go in and take a look."
"Boss Fang, please be careful."
If he were to go in with him, he would definitely not dare to. Guarding outside is still something he can handle.
Fang Heng drilled into the broken hole, and the hole behind him was quickly filled by Zha Ka.
Suddenly, the inside of the passage was plunged into darkness.
The vampire's night vision effect took effect, so he could see clearly.
Fang Heng continued forward along the dark passage, and the surrounding environment became increasingly cold. Soon, a gap appeared on the metal wall in front, created after being corroded.
Large patches of brown corrosive mucus remained on the edge of the breach.
Looks like it's over there?
Fang Heng walked towards the breach and quickly entered the rear cabin area of the ship.
"Chi, chi…"
Soon, sensing the intruder, several brown worms gradually crawled out of the passage in the distance.
Fang Heng coldly glanced at the worms.
Very small, only the size of a palm in length.
It should be larvae.
It seems that in a low-temperature environment, the alien insects have not completely lost their ability to enter hibernation, but their activity has been greatly reduced.
Shua! Shua shua!!
The larvae crawled quickly along the ground and窜 towards Fang Heng.
"Bang! Bang bang!!!"
The larvae had just窜 halfway when they suddenly stopped in place one by one.
The blood in the larvae's bodies was moved by Fang Heng's vampire power, and they could not move at all. After struggling in place for a moment, they instantly exploded into a mass of flesh and blood.
"Chi, chi chi…"
After the alien insect larvae died, the corrosive blood dissolved black holes in the ship.
Fang Heng retracted his gaze from the insects.
Looks like it's an alien insect with special corrosive abilities?
…
Outside the ship.
Dense swarms of alien creatures swarmed in, and under the barrage of energy cannons above the ship, they were reduced to pieces of exploding flesh and blood.
On the deck, two inspectors directly commissioned by the West District Federation had arrived to conduct on-site inspections of the battlefield.
The two had never really experienced such a bloody battlefield before, and they were somewhat shocked.
Terrifying swarm of insects!
Huh?
What is that?
The inspector suddenly noticed something strange.
Below the ship, a group of powerful alien creatures gathered in a circle, constantly blocking the alien insects coming from all directions outside the circle.
What powerful combat power!
Is it a player's summoned creature?
Upon closer inspection, a group of players gathered in the center of the defense circle formed by the summoned creatures.
What are they going to do?
When the two inspectors saw this scene, they frowned and asked, "Sergeant, why is the warp tunnel below the ship in the open state? In a wartime emergency, the ship's energy is insufficient, why is it being wasted in this place?"
The soldier's heart trembled when he heard this, and he immediately reported, "Sir, the warp tunnel is specially authorized by Captain Zoran. The team below is a player mercenary team. They can get energy ore, and we need to replenish the ore at any time, so we maintain the operation of the energy field."
"Players?" Director Hillock, who was in charge of this inspection, frowned and said, "What a joke. The ship is surrounded by so many alien insects. Even if they find the ore, can they transport it back?"
The soldier did not argue, but said calmly, "Please take a closer look."
Soon, there was another movement below the ship.
Several of Wayne's men were seen carrying boxes of energy crystal ore from the cave leading to the ground.
Huh?
There really are energy crystals!?
No, what is this dark cave?
Underground passage?
The two inspectors were speechless for a while when they saw this.
They…
When did they dig out the underground passage!?
"Do the inspectors have any suggestions?"
Zoran had just led a group of inspectors into the main control room to check the situation, and then hurriedly came under the escort of several soldiers. He happened to see the embarrassed scene of the two inspectors, and he was secretly happy.
It's also a coincidence.
Wayne's team had been preparing for a long time, and it just so happened that the first batch of energy ore was transported back, and the two inspectors caught up.
"Cough!"
Hillock coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. We just think that continuously opening the warp tunnel will cause unnecessary energy consumption and waste. After all, what we lack is not just one or two boxes of energy ore."
"Hahaha, that's right."
Zoran laughed loudly, with a bit of sarcasm, "But you inspectors are used to sitting in the office and don't understand the situation on the front line of the battlefield. In this situation, it's good to get a little more energy. Besides, they can get more than just one or two boxes."
