A Bright Future

Generally speaking, the attack time of a beast tide is measured in months. In the Blue Desert, the longest beast tide lasted nine months.

During that beast tide, as many as nine hundred large combat robots were destroyed.

In the end, they used orbital satellites to bombard the near-shore waters, which drove the monsters from the sea back.

Although the central desert is not as large as the coast, according to the command's calculations, this beast tide will last for at least three months.

This is not just one oasis in the Auto City fighting against the beast tide. Of course, it is the main force in fighting against the beast tide, but in addition to it, there are three other nearby oases, all resisting the beast tide.

On the front lines, bio-modified warriors are shining brightly.

A blood-soaked biological warrior wielded a giant scythe, slashing and hacking at everything in its path, cutting even the toughest mechanical beast armor in two.

After absorbing enough life, the biological scythe in his hand actually grew again, from three meters to five meters. Sharp spikes pierced out from the surface of the scythe, and even in the middle of the handle, two sharp spikes were bent at 90 degrees, seemingly two new biological scythes in their 'prototype' state.

On the other side, more than twenty "White Bone Corpse Generals" were advancing against the tide of beasts. Behind them were more than five hundred "Radiation Beast Zombies". Affected by the zombie radiation field of the Corpse Generals, their eyes turned blood red, their flesh rotted, and their bones protruded. They were frantically tearing at their own kind.

This "white bone corpse general" is nearly three meters tall, with white eyes in its dark eye sockets, but upon closer inspection, a large living person is actually inside the jagged white bones.

Skeletal Radiation Corpses are a variant of Radiation Corpses. Their radiation power comes from their entire skeleton. These "corpse generals" are actually living people sewn into the skeleton, essentially artificially wearing a skeleton radiation armor.

Upon seeing this, some of the radiated beast leaders immediately summoned a group of elite beasts to launch a siege.

However, the next moment, sniper bullets came flying in. In the chaotic and intense battlefield, these bullets seemed to have eyes, and almost every one of them hit a vital spot.

Even more terrifying is that these bullets are not made of ordinary metal, but are a kind of "biological bullet." If you are hit by these bullets, even if you don't die on the spot, they will secrete a biological toxin after entering your body, which will greatly reduce the strength, speed and perception of these elite radiation beasts and cause a mental disorder.

At this moment, at the sniping position, each sniper gripped a "biological barrel" with one hand. Their sniper rifles grew directly from their arms, with flesh and blood vessels wriggling on the surface. They achieved a level of "man and gun as one" without any training.

Snipers' prosthetic eyes have also been replaced by a type of "electronic bee eye." These two eyes occupy a small portion of a person's face, and the bee eye contains thousands of tiny eyes. Its field of vision and precision are a hundred times that of an ordinary prosthetic eye.

Moreover, they come with 'electronic vision', which allows them to directly see the vital points of the mechanical bio-beasts.

At this moment, on a stealthy military aircraft, Brigadier General Mo Shan overlooked the battlefield. His purpose in going to the front line was actually to witness firsthand the role of these "biological warriors".

In fact, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe those exaggerated battle reports.

It's unbelievable that a low-level soldier who underwent "biological modification" for less than three days could unleash combat power no less than his elite robot army!

Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he has to admit that it is indeed true.

"Go back and inform the logistics department that I need ten standard battalions of bio-warriors, and also, award the Legion of Honor to the leader of the bio-factory."

"General, we can't go any further. The flying species of the beast tide are rampant lately."

In a visible area, a dozen or so black dots appeared; those were the enemy's "bombing bird formation".

"Let's head back."

Demon Mountain's large, rough hands deftly flipped through the projected map, assessing the troop deployment of both sides.

"Perhaps we could allocate a portion of the robot force."

The optimistic situation at the front gave Magic Mountain an idea.

However, the next moment, the electronic alarm suddenly blared, and the red warning lights inside the cabin lit up.

"General, the radiation level has suddenly exceeded the safe limit!"

The Mountain's expression was indifferent. The four guards around him slowly stood up. These guards were not tall, and were even somewhat short. However, as the black liquid on their bodies flowed, they transformed into two-meter-tall bio-warriors in just three seconds.

The bulging muscles of the colony warrior began to be torn apart by a force. Four energy nozzles quickly appeared on his thighs and upper arms, and he accelerated in almost 0.1 seconds, bursting out of the aircraft.

The sky was suddenly covered by a kaleidoscope of rich colors, and a ten-meter-tall knight of color gradually took shape.

The radiation level broke through 100,000 and continued to rise, eventually reaching an astonishing 320,000.

Even among B-class radiation beasts, this level of radiation is not considered weak.

More importantly, the other party has no physical form at all; it is a pure "radiation life form".

Such energy life forms are often born during beast tides.

They appear randomly, making them impossible to guard against.

The Color Knight raised his lance to meet the four bio-warriors that appeared in mid-air.

The stealth aircraft then changed direction and flew towards another underground command post.

However, the next moment, the sky suddenly brightened, and this time it was no longer colorful, but four golden suns slowly rose from below the plane.

The radiation level instantly spiked to 680,000.

Radiation Ecology - Golden Sun

The driver's eyeballs popped out, and he foamed at the mouth, trembled all over, and his skin became dry and cracked.

The Demon Mountain Tiger-shaped helmet slammed onto his head, the Beast Armor erupted, and nearly fifty high-temperature nozzles suddenly opened, spewing out ion streams at a speed that broke the sonic boom, reaching an astonishing Mach 3.

The next moment, the stealth plane exploded into a huge fireball in mid-air.

News of the battlefield commander's injury was kept secret, but the commendation ceremony proceeded smoothly.

During the war, there was naturally no grand celebration, not even a single onlooker; it was simply held in a small room in the garage.

But Zhao Xie was still very excited. The "Second-Class Legion Medal" was not only useful in the Security Legion, but also a symbol of status and the primary standard for promotion in all mechanical legions.

"General Mountain is very satisfied with your work and hopes you will continue to perform well during the beast tide."

The colonel, who was in charge of presenting the awards, smiled.

"Yes, I will expand production capacity as soon as possible to achieve ten biosynthetic battalions!"

Zhao Xie examined the mechanical medal with great interest. The medal was engraved with countless mechanical life forms, and behind it was the shadow of a huge building, which seemed to symbolize that the mechanical legion would always be the sharp sword of the three mother cities.

However, when Zhao Xie's gaze swept over someone, most of his enthusiasm immediately dissipated, replaced by a nameless rage.

He was awarded the medal for his tireless work around the clock, which made a huge contribution to the front lines.

The guy in front of me, who just freeloaded, actually managed to get a second-class medal.

Well, although these technical materials nominally belong to the other party and it's impossible to actually abandon them to award the prize, Zhao Xie felt as if he was working for someone else for free.

The senior engineer noticed the other person's gaze and clapped his hands with a smile.

"Good job, kid."

[You have activated faction reputation mode. Friend (+300) [Mechanical Legion]]

Among the official factions, the reputation of the Mechanical Legion is relatively difficult to grind. It is not calculated based on the number of enemies you kill, because no matter how hard you grind, your efficiency cannot match that of the combat robots with unlimited energy.

It calculates your contribution in a particular battle.

The reputation with the [Mechanical Legion] is also very useful. Most directly, if a senior engineer wants to buy a titanium alloy endoskeleton, he no longer needs to rely on a certain rich woman in the factory.

Keep up the good work, young man. If you work hard for a while longer, I'll be able to buy a BMW.

Seemingly sensing what the other was thinking, Zhao Xie's face darkened. He was about to retort when the colonel pulled him back and whispered in his ear:

"Oasis Chief of Staff Dong Li."

At this moment, in front of the senior engineer stood a middle-aged man with a large belly, chatting and laughing with him.

He is Dong Li.

Zhao Xie was taken aback. The chief of staff of the oasis was the administrative officer second only to the brigadier general, and each of them was responsible for the operation of an oasis.

However, the security corps does not have an "administrative unit," so it can only be given the rank of "chief of staff."

This is definitely a big shot in the area.

"How did he get here?"

"They seem to be here to buy equipment."

"Buy equipment?"

Zhao Xie seemed to be listening to a lame joke. The Oasis Chief of Staff could directly access the logistics department's supplies, so why would he buy some cheap, unreliable weapon?

"You haven't been reading the battle reports these past few days, have you?"

The colonel gave him a strange look.

Zhao Xie shook his head. He had been so busy these past few days that he had no time for gossip.

"Take a look."

Zhao Xie turned on his military recorder, and everything went black. He saw that the number one ranked group on the hunting leaderboard was "New Cable Tribe".

The points total is as high as ten million.

"Sector 56 fought exceptionally well. Of all the combat zones, they were the only ones that remained green. They also shared their methods for fighting the beast tide with all the other combat zones. To replicate their tactics, those special equipment items are essential."

"How much?"

"One million mechanical coins," the colonel paused, "The value of the first batch of equipment."

"If it works well, there will definitely be a second and third batch of transactions."

Zhao Xie's vision went black.

After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "Where does he get his production capacity from?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhao Xie froze.

He sabotaged the operation by preventing the enemy's underground factory from carrying out bio-modification, thus limiting the enemy's ability to produce equipment.

So, the source is actually oneself?!

Chief of Staff Dong was very enthusiastic about Senior Engineer. No matter how powerful the bio-modified warriors were, they could only be supplied to the front lines.

The "monster-attracting artifact" + "special effects machine" is the ultimate solution!

After Chief of Staff Dong left, the senior engineer walked up to Zhao Xie with a cheerful smile and patted him on the shoulder with appreciation.

"You work hard, I'll work hard to earn money, and we'll both have a bright future."
