Raven

Mu Fan drew his Alloy Broadsword and swung it in front of him, and soon the greatsword was just a blur.

The stones that were fired at them were all deflected.

Mu Fan's standing up gave the other trainees behind him a chance. Only then did they react and raise their Pulse Rifle to fire wildly.

Finally, after a brief respite, the artillery fire around them began to spew forth fiercely. The overwhelming barrage of stone projectiles was suppressed in its first wave by half the combined firepower of No. 3 Base.

Mu Fan had retreated a hundred meters away, caught Pulse Rifle thrown to him by his teammate and opened fire as well.

However, before he could fire many shots, he saw the insects disguised as insects hanging on the rock face being shot down one by one.

Once the Cliff Bug that have been lying in wait are discovered, they become easy targets.

Luo Jianjin's troops ultimately cleared the Cliff Bug from both sides of the rock face without suffering any casualties.

Many trainees were seeing such a large-scale Zerg army for the first time, and they couldn't help but excitedly exchange ideas after seeing how many they had killed.

The legendary ferocious Zeg... it's actually too weak to fight.

The battle turned into a massacre, and the troops that had retreated outside the entrance were now looking at their leader, Luo Jianjin, awaiting his next command.

"Don't underestimate them. If it weren't for Mu Fan, we might have been completely ambushed."

A single sentence silenced the cheers, and the group realized that it was the boy's sudden spear thrust that had completely exposed the Zegs.

After speaking, Luo Jianjin did not say anything else. He still had doubts in his expression because the Zerg Race's troops in this ambush were too simple. So simple that even though the Cliff Bug died in batches, not a single beetle showed its face.

Mu Fan sheathed the Alloy Broadsword and walked to Luo Jianjin's side. "What's wrong, Captain Luo?"

Looking at the determined young man beside him, Luo Jianjin now regarded Mu Fan as a true warrior.

"Something is amiss; the Zerg Race's military composition is far too limited this time."

Mu Fan nodded; he had noticed it too.

"However, the probe has already made two round trips, and there are no other issues."

"Did these Zegs not lie in ambush at all, or... are they hiding somewhere?"

The Luo Saihu muttered to himself, unable to make sense of it all, and prepared to continue making arrangements.

However, his words made Mu Fan's eyes widen in surprise!

Where is it hidden?

The sky? No!

The rock face? It's been cleared!

The ground? There isn't any!

underground...

underground.

Mu Fan's eyes widened suddenly, because he suddenly remembered a Zeg he had only seen once.

"Wait a moment!"

Luo Jianjin's hand stopped in mid-air, and he turned to look at Mu Fan.

"What's wrong, Mu Fan?"

"Could these insects be hiding... underground? Last time when we left the nest, we encountered an insect that could hide underground and could stick out a row of Ground Spike. So, I was wondering if that's possible?" Mu Fan carefully chose his words before speaking.

"... An infiltrator? Hiss~"

Several Special Operations Team members nearby gasped upon hearing this, including Old Wolf, who wore a serious expression.

"Old Wolf, Old Deer!"

Luo Jianjin gave the order, and the two men understood what he meant, nodding in unison.

"There is a way."

What can be done?

While the people nearby were still wondering, Old Deer pulled out an extremely heavy, oddly shaped rifle from the vehicle's toolbox.

That gun muzzle could easily be called a cannon muzzle.

It's round, with a diameter of about 10 centimeters!

When Mu Fan saw this thing, he noticed that the White Hair next to him stared wide-eyed, almost drooling.

He touched the White Hair's arm. "What's this?"

The White Hair man stared intently at the spot and whispered, "A rare force field generator. There might be other equipment later."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Mu Fan saw Old Deer point the huge and strange gun forward and pull the trigger five times in a row.

Bang!

Bang!

One by one, shiny metal balls were driven deep into the soil.

When the fifth metal ball hit the ground, all five metal balls cracked open at the same time, and a transparent force field was generated from the five vertices to directly form a pentagonal pyramid.

At this moment, Old Wolf took out an exquisite raven-shaped mechanical device from his backpack, revealing a pained expression.

"What is this?" Mu Fan asked curiously.

White Hair shook his head. He didn't know either, but that didn't stop his interest from growing. These Special Operations Team soldiers had all sorts of good stuff on them.

The black, raven-shaped device, about thirty centimeters wide, was placed on Old Wolf's special crossbow, and then the spring was pulled.

Buzz!

The black raven transformed into a streak of light and pierced directly into that force field.

When the black exterior came into contact with the transparent force field, its entire shape instantly turned into a dazzling silver-white, and then flew straight forward at a height of two meters above the ground.

Old Deer, who was operating the tactical tablet, suddenly shouted, "There's an ambush underground!"

The transparent force field suddenly turned red, the background stretched to a rectangle, and then shrank into dozens of red dots!

This is a flat map of the area ahead. At this moment, dozens of red dots have suddenly appeared densely in the canyon, which is about 300 meters long.

"Boss, thirty-six lurking agents!"

The grass stem that the Old Deer was holding in its mouth fell off.

"Heavy Hammer Tank, activate Siege Mode!" The mechanical arms on both sides of the two AA5 "Heavy Hammer" Tank extended again, Plasma Shock Cannon roared at the same time, making Mu Fan feel the ground beneath his feet shake.

Then he saw a burst of blood erupt about 150 meters in front of them!

Five of the red dots on the force field map disappeared at the same time.

Boom!

Just seven or eight seconds later, another cannon roared, blasting out another spray of blood.

"Great!" The Luo Saihu excitedly slapped Mu Fan on the shoulder. "Mu Fan, thank goodness you were here! You managed to spot two ambushes in a row! Those Zegs are really cunning. When we get back, I'll definitely apply for a merit award for you and see if we can get a medal."

Mu Fan was somewhat confused. He hadn't officially joined the military yet, so how could he receive a medal?

After the third salvo from the Siege Tank, more than a dozen dark figures suddenly burst from the ground further away and hurriedly crawled backward.

However, no matter how fast they went, they could not escape the Siege Tank that had already set up cannons. When these infiltrators hurriedly crawled out, they were completely wiped out with just one salvo.

Seeing that there were no more red dots on the force field, the students, who had just witnessed this, all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they didn't know what kind of damage these Zegs had, seeing how seriously the veterans took it, they definitely didn't want to try anything.

"How many more times can you detect it?" the Luo Saihu asked Old Wolf and Old Deer.

"My dynamic electromagnetic field can be laid five more times," Old Deer said, pointing to the toolbox over there.

"I only have one raven left..." The Old Wolf shook his head.

"Go another 300 meters, conduct reconnaissance, and then return to base to request the military to deploy a detection device for the Zerg Race."

The order was given, and the team crossed the canyon safely.

After releasing the so-called raven again, they safely ventured another 300 meters into the Stone Forest.

Luo Jianjin ordered everyone to return, and the expedition was over.

For some reason, Mu Fan felt a little strange when he activated the Dark Breath state. His analytical ability regarding the Zerg Race was improving rapidly, and he didn't know why, but he always felt that thinking about the Zeg would instantly bring up a lot of ideas.

On the way back to base, Mu Fan had a vague premonition that these Zegs today seemed to be... testing him?

"Mu Fan, the detection tools those two used today were quite interesting. Find a chance to intercept one for me," Hei suddenly said as they were about to enter the base.
