(Congratulations to the newly promoted Dharma Protector "Sui Feng Er Xia"! This chapter is a two-in-one.)

If you're a real man, carry the Vulcan Cannon and take a walk around.

This was a popular saying at the Special Training Base, but in the end, only Mu Fan was able to carry the nine-barreled Vulcan Cannon.

However, his awesomeness only lasted for a short time. Since arriving at 131st Asteroid, Mu Fan has never been seen using firearms or anything like that again.

Unexpectedly, when the White Hair man emerged in a daze, he saw his teammate tear a Vulcan Cannon off the tank!

"Holy crap!"

"Mu Fan, what are you doing?"

White Hair first exclaimed in surprise, and then immediately asked the question.

What's this kid up to by suddenly raising Vulcan Cannon in the middle of the night?

The crowd was noisy, Mu Fan naturally couldn't hear the White Hair's exclamation behind him.

After getting his hands on the heavy Vulcan Cannon, Mu Fan saw that the ammunition box was still in the storage box at the rear of the tank, so he lifted it with one hand.

Mu Fan simply lifted out the ammunition box, which was over a cubic meter in size.

Without a convenient ammunition supply backpack, Mu Fan had no choice but to do this in desperation.

Hiss!

What is this Primal Tyrannosaurus trying to do?

Is he going crazy?

"Stop him!"

"Is this kid planning to open fire on the base?"

Some soldiers who didn't recognize Mu Fan shouted it out.

With a load of over a hundred kilograms on his body, Mu Fan suddenly turned his head, and the yellow mist was approaching at an extremely fast speed.

Even... the sound waves from beneath the fog were gradually coming through.

What was that sound?

"What's going on? I remember it was supposed to be an enemy attack, why isn't there an alarm?!"

Mu Fan gritted his teeth; these people still didn't understand the situation.

It's too late!

He bent his knees and leaped forward.

With both hands carrying the entire vehicle-mounted Vulcan Cannon, Mu Fan took a few steps and used the momentum to rush up the metal city wall that was more than four meters high.

Looking at the approaching fog, it was already within a kilometer.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Mu Fan took a deep breath, threw the ammunition box heavily to the side, picked up the Vulcan Cannon with both hands, and pressed the button hard!

Buzz~ Puff puff puff!

Driven by an electric motor, the six gun barrels spewed out flames that were more than 30 centimeters long.

The torrent of metal, Starting Point from Mu Fan, surged toward the approaching yellow mist.

The barrage of comments, almost a continuous stream, disappeared into the yellow mist.

People inside the base then noticed that a large patch of fog had appeared in front of the base's exit at some point.

And that kid actually picked up Vulcan Cannon and fired at it.

Could it be...

"Squeak!~~"

The eerie rustling sound suddenly stopped, and a mournful chirping of insects emerged from the yellow mist!

As Mu Fan fired his gun, the shifting yellow mist finally began to dissipate...

People continued to emerge from the barracks, rubbing their eyes and not even having time to greet their companions before opening their eyes wide, just like those who had come out earlier.

What did they see?!

As the yellow mist dissipated, limbs kept bursting out from within it.

When the first row of dark Zegs revealed their true forms under the intense light, everyone in the base felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their backs.

It was Zeg!

Countless Zegs!

Moreover, it also includes as many as five or six other types of troops.

Among the group of Zegs, one type of scorpion with an enormous size stood out.

Those scarlet eyes, and that terrifying tail spike raised high.

Mu Fan keenly noticed that the yellow mist at the tip of the tail thorn was much denser than in other places.

Was it this kind of creature that was releasing the mist just now?

The Vulcan Cannon spun, and a torrent of metal surged toward the scorpion.

Mu Fan killed the scorpion with a single blow.

However, he did not expect that when the bullet's direction changed, the Zeg, who was originally quite normal, went berserk. Some Zeg, which looked like tiger insects but were a size larger, suddenly rushed in front of the scorpion.

The Vulcan Cannon, powerful enough to tear apart an ordinary tiger beetle, took five seconds to pierce through a giant tiger beetle.

This is Vulcan Cannon that can fire thousands of bullets per minute!

The remaining Zegs launched a fierce attack on the base.

The sharp-eyed Mu Fan spotted hundreds, yes, hundreds of those Lurkers mixed in with the first Insect Swarm. Behind these Zerg was a vast, dark mass of Zerg, like an ocean. Among those Zerg... almost all of them were Tiger Insects! Not a single low-level beetle or guard could be seen.

"What are you all standing there for? Go ahead and beat him up!"

Upon reaching the entrance and seeing the situation outside the base, the Luo Saihu roared and charged into the mech parked on the corner armory.

The green gaze on the mech's head is activated!

The Kaituo V-type mech belonging to the Dingchuan Expeditionary Force has been officially activated.

This is a heavy-firepower mech with two rapid-fire shoulder cannons mounted on its shoulders simultaneously.

This was Luo Jianjin's first time piloting a mech since arriving at the base. As the captain of the Tiger Hunter team, he was far less proficient in mechs than in Exoskeleton Armor, but their superior firepower was exactly what was needed right now!

With a series of heavy thuds, Luo Jianjin was the first to rush out of the base, standing outside the alloy wall, his shoulder cannon roaring at the same time.

The well-crafted Adventure Grade mech lived up to its B-level firepower rating, with eight beams of fire simultaneously shooting forward.

A sea of fire erupted instantly from the charging Insect Swarm.

Luo Jianjin's actions seemed to set a precedent, and only then did the trainees truly wake up from their dazed state!

His subconscious action was to quickly grab a gun, just like the veterans around him.

The outstanding qualities of these trainees were evident at this moment, and countless people soon appeared on the alloy wall, fighting alongside Mu Fan.

A total of twenty mechs rushed out of the base at the same time, and their powerful firepower finally repelled the first attack of the Insect Swarm.

Lin Hao did not appear on the wall because the military Sky Communicator in the Command Department had suddenly gone off like crazy!

A fragmented conversation caused him to lose his composure for the first time.

The Federation's No. 4 Base has... fallen!

All the expeditionary troops at the base were killed in action!

Major Zheng Rui of the Expeditionary Force spoke in a hoarse voice, and the signal gradually weakened due to some unknown interference.

In the end, Lin Hao could only try his best to hear what Zheng Rui was saying.

"Bases One and Two have suffered heavy damage... The Expeditionary Force is preparing to evacuate to No. 3 Base and will provide Fire Support for No. 3 Base. Recommendation... Take off and evacuate!"

By the end, the signal had been cut off.

The inexplicable signal interference, coupled with Major Zheng Rui's almost desperate tone, made Lin Hao's heart sink to the bottom.

At this moment, the soldiers in the Command Department switched the view to the outside of the wall!

Lin Hao was then confronted with a scene of fierce fighting taking place on the outskirts of No. 3 Base.

The overwhelming surge of Zeg was so dense it was suffocating.

The Vulcan Cannon in Mu Fan's hand was still roaring wildly, but the built-in temperature control device showed that it could only support 13 seconds of uninterrupted rapid fire, after which it had to enter the barrel cooling period.

He was the only one in the vicinity who managed to suppress an area nearly thirty meters wide by himself.

White Hair charged to Mu Fan's side with his Pulse Rifle, feeling the raging flames and his cheek muscles twitching.

"Why is the scale of this Zeg attack completely unpredictable!"

After the White Hair's eyes swept over the vast, dark sea of insects, a frantic stream of data flashed across his vision.

He muttered to himself.

Mu Fan heard his words and knew the real story, but he couldn't tell it.

"Can you still open that eyepiece?"

"No, I need time to adjust the chip." The White Hair shook his head. Although the shooting accuracy was still very high, the rate of fire was completely different from the previous state, which was both incredibly violent and outrageously precise.

Those ferocious tiger-insects, with their hard shells, blocked more than 90% of bullets. The seemingly dense rain of bullets was only effective against large-caliber high-explosive and Armor-Piercing Round carried by mechs or tanks. Ordinary rifle bullets were much less effective.

After speaking, the White Hair looked ahead and said, "Fortunately, we have these mechs; the situation is much better than before."

It's over in 13 seconds!

The rapidly spinning gun barrel went out instantly.

The red-hot gun barrel began to slow down, Mu Fan placed the Vulcan Cannon at his feet.

A robotic arm had already delivered a whole truckload of firearms to the wall, and Mu Fan picked up a Pulse Rifle and started firing.

"Mu Fan, these Zegs are shielding the electromagnetic signals in the vicinity, and the situation is still deteriorating! Old man, quickly tell Mu Fan the current situation." The black voice rang out again.

"Scorpions have appeared on the other side! Remember my words, without the protection of armor or mechs, never try to approach that scorpion! These Insect Swarm require wide-area energy attacks; do you have any?"

"Wide-range attack..." Mu Fan used his superhuman muscle strength to fix his arm in one position and fire continuously without moving an inch.

He muttered to himself, pondering large-scale weaponry.

Siege Tank?

Mechs?

White Hair seemed to have only heard half of Mu Fan's sentence, and shouted, "Yeah, thank goodness for the area-of-effect attacks of these mechs, otherwise we'd be in real trouble!"

Mu Fan's train of thought was interrupted, and at the same time, a sense of crisis arose in his heart.

What happened?

My gaze immediately swept across the area.

Suddenly, Mu Fan saw four enormous Zegs, even larger than giant scorpions, appear in the insect swarm opposite him. They had large abdomens and degenerated wings.

As soon as these insects appeared, a section of the nearby Zeg instantly became clear.

When Mu Fan saw them, the insects had just turned around and were at the rear of the Insect Swarm, their large tails already pointed at the base.

A bright and dazzling blue light began to appear from the tip of the tail and quickly spread to the entire large tail belly.

Its enormous tail belly resembled a giant, lit blue lantern.

When that radiance appeared, Mu Fan grabbed the White Hair and suddenly looked down.

At this moment, a blue energy sphere with a diameter of more than two meters appeared with a deep and shocking blast, instantly traversing a distance of a thousand meters and directly hitting the row of mechs that had advanced nearly a hundred meters outward.

The armor of the four mechs dented instantly upon contact with the massive blue energy sphere, and then exploded with a deafening roar!

The shockwave sent fragments of the mech crashing against the walls, and a soldier next to Mu Fan and his group had half his body sliced off by shrapnel.

The morale of the personnel inside the base was incalculable due to this terrifying attack method.

The remaining sixteen mechs immediately dispersed and locked onto the giant insects in the distance.

"This is... a nascent Plasma Bug! The scale of the Zerg swarm on this planet is definitely beyond your current capabilities, and there might even be Tunnel Bug present. Mu Fan, retreat!" The Fighter's voice trembled with a hint of excitement and an uncontrollable killing intent, but he ultimately forced Mu Fan to leave.

Because the Fighter and the Black Mu Fan, once Mu Fan dies...

No one can guarantee what crazy things a villain might do when their emotional system is activated.

Just as White Hair looked up and saw the half-corpse falling down, spraying blood, he spat it out.

His gaze fell on Mu Fan's face, and all he saw was an expressionless face and... an extremely resolute look!

"Mu Fan, the old man has said everything he needed to say. I will be taking over the base's automatic fire control system, but I can't say for sure how long it will last. You must evacuate! Contact Major Lin Hao; the Zerg Race is definitely not someone you can handle now."

"Understood." Mu Fan only answered with two words, Dark Breath, after its previous scorching heat, finally returned!

In an instant, he seemed to transform into a completely different person. His expression remained unchanged, and he calmly asked the White Hair man, "Besides Siege Tank, what other weapons of mass destruction are there?"

White Hair was taken aback, but quickly replied, "Find Old Deer! He has Novabombs, the kind of Novabomb I saw last time. He manages the miniature nuclear launchers at this base."

Old Deer?

Where are Old Deer and the others?

Mu Fan's hawk-like eyes swept across the area and instantly located the three members of the Hunter Tiger team in front of the armory.

Old Wolf, Old Deer, Tracy!

Lin Hao and his adjutant were also walking over.

Be careful.

Then Mu Fan leaped down from the more than four-meter-high alloy wall.

White Hair stared at Mu Fan's back, and for a moment he seemed to feel a sense of oppression from Mu Fan, like the prelude to a volcanic eruption!

"Major Zheng Rui and his team will arrive in five minutes. The Star-borne Ship is entering pre-start mode."

"We must hold off this swarm of insects within five minutes! This is a death order!"

Lin Hao held the walkie-talkie, his face contorted in a grimace.

It is only when real war comes that the difference between cadets and professional soldiers becomes apparent.

Moreover, these trainees will be their top priority for protection. Those trainees who survive these events will undoubtedly become the backbone of the officer corps in the future!

Mu Fan suddenly stopped and appeared in front of the group, just as Lin Hao walked up to the three of them.

Mu Fan, who was about to start the conversation, remained silent for a moment after hearing their exchange.

"Is there any way to eliminate those giant insects that shoot electric balls? Siege Tank can't effectively engage them from that distance."

"Yes! The Novabomb launcher is ready, with an blast radius of 120 meters and devastating area damage. We are ready to have Tracy conduct tactical positioning."

Old Deer pressed a button, the alloy ground opened, and a launch pad about three meters high rose from underground in the northwest corner of the base.

"Can't we just project it directly?"

This time, Old Wolf shook his head. "No, those giant insects are constantly changing position and direction rapidly, and there are specialized transport Zerg to move them. Therefore, a positioning generator is needed to continuously and tactically locate those giant insects. Only Tracy, who has undergone the Nova eyepiece implantation, is capable of this task!"

All eyes are now on women with hot bodies.

Tracy's husky yet charming voice rang out, carrying a touch of sassiness.

"It is my honor to finally be able to guide the Novabomb again."

"Careful!"

"Be careful to avoid those insects."

Tracy nodded, and gently pressed her finger on the tight-fitting light armor. An invisible ripple spread out, Mu Fan actually saw her body begin to disappear into the air little by little.

No, it was environmental assimilation that caused that slender sniper rifle to disappear along with it.

A visual cloaking effect created by a technique that refracts light.

If you look closely, you can see the transparent outline.

Moreover, the smell and footsteps had all disappeared.

"Five Heavy Hammer Tank provided Siege Mode Fire Support, while the accompanying army assault team carried out an assault equipped with mechanical exoskeletons."

Only then did they see Mu Fan leaping towards them. Lin Hao turned around and formally thanked him, saying, "Mu Fan, we owe you a huge thank you for your warning this time!"

Mu Fan indicated that everything was alright, and then said "Be careful" to Tracy's location.

Then, without turning back, I quietly watched her leave and asked, "What happens if the location tracking fails?"

"We're all wiped out. Trust Tracy. Her second identity is Federation Nova Agent. In the field of nuclear missile control, no one is more professional than her." Old Deer finally showed a smile.

"How do we locate it?" Mu Fan asked, seemingly casually.
