All-Out Preparations (Congratulations to Protector Tadashi)

(Congratulations to the newly appointed Dharma Protector "tadashi"! Bonus chapter provided!)

The creaking Spider Vehicle finally returned to No. 3 Base. When the trainees, who were conducting their daily training, saw the vehicle with its Crash Beam bent out of shape, they all turned to look.

"Is this Mu Fan's team?"

"Why does he look so miserable this time? Look, Mu Fan's hair is all stuck together."

"White Hair... Pfft, forgive me, I really didn't laugh. Is he carsick and foaming at the mouth?" Clearly, someone saw Yin Shuai, who was still unconscious and sitting on the tank, with unusually eye-catching white foam at the corner of his mouth.

"I remember they encountered a massive Insect Swarm during their last mission. Are they just unlucky again this time?"

Looking at the solemn faces of Mu Fan and the others, Xi Ze, who had been keeping a cool and aloof expression, couldn't help but smile. "Were we ambushed by bugs again? As expected, real combat is the best test."

Teams 1 and 2 set off at the same time. Mu Fan's team has already retreated and returned, while Young Master Zhang Tang's team has not yet returned.

If we analyze it from this perspective alone, Young Master Zhang Tang's team is incredibly powerful.

When the Spider Vehicle came to a steady stop inside the base, Luo Jianjin looked at the still unconscious White Hair and instructed Mu Fan, "Mu Fan, take him into the Biological Repair Pod first. I'll let you know later; I expect you'll need to give a detailed report on today's situation."

"Yes, Captain Luo."

Seeing the approaching automated robot, Mu Fan carried White Hair onto it and followed it into the medical room, where he saw White Hair completely immersed in Cell Repair Fluid.

The accompanying military medical officer said to Mu Fan, "The vital signs analysis shows there's nothing seriously wrong, but his nerve fluctuations are abnormal. Did he experience some kind of shock before?"

Thinking of White Hair's cursing expression upon seeing the swarm of insects, Mu Fan nodded confidently, "We've encountered a large-scale Insect Swarm, he..."

"No wonder, his mental fortitude is lacking. He panics at the sight of Zeg, how can he fight?" The medic concluded without giving Mu Fan a chance to speak further.

Touching his nose, Mu Fan looked at the White Hair whose eyelids were starting to tremble and silently apologized, as he was not given a chance to explain.

"He'll probably wake up soon. Why don't you go back and rest?" the medical officer asked, seeing Mu Fan still standing there.

"I'll wait a little longer."

Black disappeared after Mu Fan entered the base, only telling Mu Fan that it needed to revise the development plan for the Shadow Base because the suddenly discovered Insect Nest had a significant impact on Black's plans.

Two minutes later, a string of bubbles suddenly appeared in the amber liquid in the glass tube in front of him, and the White Hair's eyes opened.

The medic, seeing that the vital signs had stabilized, said to Mu Fan, "This kid's fine now. It's unbelievable how scared he was by a bug. Alright, you guys can chat now."

After saying that, he pressed the button to close the Bio-Cabin, the Cell Repair Fluid was recovered, and the White Hair man crawled out of it, coughing.

"Ahem, this is the first time this handsome guy has ever been fully immersed in this thing. How long did I stay in there like a specimen?" He wiped his wet hair and asked Mu Fan.

"Two minutes."

"Hahaha, my recovery ability is amazing!" Seeing his teammates starting to cheer, Mu Fan felt relieved.

The fact that White Hair is like this means that he is indeed alright.

"What happened to you then?"

"You mean I suddenly fainted?" The White Hair wiped his face.

"Yes, and then there was foaming at the mouth..." Mu Fan said honestly.

"What! I foamed at the mouth? Did no one else see that?" The White Hair was shocked, his eyes pleading.

"Yes, I saw it." Mu Fan always spoke the truth.

"My image... so wise and mighty, ruined in an instant."

Sensing the conversation was about to veer off course again, Mu Fan asked again, "What exactly happened back then?"

White Hair's face fell, and he replied unhappily, "So I've unleashed my ultimate move, what else could it be? I implanted a chip of my own design under the skin of my brain. It can perform high-speed calculations without a separate power supply by utilizing Biological Weak Electricity. Combined with my specially made Tactical Monocle and the powerful OW76 Modified Pulse Rifle, it can achieve uninterrupted ultra-precise target locking and shooting."

He truly deserves to be called a genius in mechanical and electronic fields!

Mu Fan gave a thumbs-up in admiration, "Awesome!"

With a dejected look, the White Hair waved his hand and sighed, "What a load of rubbish! That damn chip's voltage was designed too high. While I was firing, I felt my whole body convulsing, and my thoughts were out of control. But I never expected to foam at the mouth. This was my trump card! I was trying to look cool, and now my image is completely ruined..."

As they were talking, Mu Fan's military Sky Communicator suddenly started vibrating. He answered the call, said a few "uh-huhs," and then hung up.

"Major Lin told me to come over, saying that if you wake up, you should come with me too."

Let's go.

Mu Fan, covered in dried green slime, White Hair, covered in wet amber-colored repair fluid, walked toward the Command Department in an exceptionally stylish manner.

When the two entered the Command Department, there were already more than a dozen officers, including Lin Hao, waiting inside.

"Mu Fan, tell me about what happened back then."

Mu Fan spoke the words he had already prepared, erasing the analysis of the Zerg Race's secrets, such as the Black Fungus Creep.

The White Hair man next to him nodded in agreement, indicating that Mu Fan was right.

"Oh right, I have a video recording here."

White Hair suddenly spoke, took off his goggles, and after connecting with the Tactical Hand Plate for a few seconds, handed the handpiece to Lin Hao and the others.

After the officers read about the two boys' absolutely unbelievable discovery and their thrilling adventure in the insect burrow, they looked at each other in disbelief.

When the scene showed the two were in dire straits, fighting back against countless Insect Swarm, some viewers even gasped in surprise.

Preliminary statistics show that the two killed more than 600 insects during this period! White Hair alone shot and killed more than 400 of them.

Unbelievable!

The following scene shows the White Hair falling unconscious; there is only sound, and the camera angle is either facing the ground or the sky.

After the video was turned off, everyone's expression turned somber.

Lin Hao cleared his throat. "I think we should join forces with the Expeditionary Force to carry out a concentrated mopping-up operation."

By the time Mu Fan came out of the Command Department, it was already dark.

Back in the squad dormitory, Mu Fan sat on the bed, his face serious. He took out Compressed Biscuit from his backpack, and while thinking, he unwrapped it and put it in his mouth.

Just now at the Command Department, after Lin Hao communicated directly with the Expeditionary Force, the answer he received was that they did not need the cooperation of their Dingchuan Academy troops.

However, they did manage to get the coordinates of the Insect Nest.

Ultimately, Lin Hao and his team decided to begin large-scale reorganization and combat operations starting tomorrow.

The recently manufactured Exoskeleton Armor, individual firearms, and two AA5 "Heavy Hammer" Siege Tank will all be put into use, and starting tomorrow, the focus of expansion will be concentrated on the Insect Nest area.

According to Lin Hao, two machining workshops have been built in No. 3 Base, the small smelting plant has expanded its production capacity, and the newly built heavy plant will be in full production.

From the moment Mu Fan left the Command Department, an invisible tension began to spread, and the entire base started to operate at full speed like a wound-up spring.

I need to confirm the current situation with Black, because we'll probably be in a state of combat for the next few days.

After silently finishing the thirty-second bag of Compressed Biscuit biscuits, Mu Fan felt that there was no saliva left in his mouth, and prepared to get up to drink water.

"Food is being rationed; I'm still hungry."

At this moment, White Hair walked into the room and began muttering to himself.

When he saw the pile of food packaging on the table in front of Mu Fan, his eyes lit up.

"Well, so you've been hiding something here!"
