"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
With the deafening sound of a massive drill, Xu Zhengyang, guided by his Hyperdimensional View, maneuvered a large Engineering Robot in its drilling mode to penetrate the nest of the Blood Plague Worms!
In the next moment.
Xu Zhengyang's mechanical army poured into the hole just drilled by the Engineering Robot.
Immediately after.
The previously pitch-dark nest of the Blood Plague Worms was illuminated as bright as day by the flashes of various calibers of ammunition!
The Blood Plague Worms were not combat-oriented creatures.
Because of this.
They stood no chance against Xu Zhengyang's modern mechanical army! Under the overwhelming firepower.
In just half an hour, the Blood Plague nest was completely cleared out by Xu Zhengyang!
After dealing with the Blood Plague Worms here, Xu Zhengyang let out a long sigh of relief.
He then instructed Da Bai to use the Dimensional Space Pocket to transport various construction debris from the surface down to fill the underground cavity.
"The Blood Plague Mother is truly pervasive..."
After delegating the tedious task to Da Bai, Xu Zhengyang sighed with relief, "It actually specialized in birthing such monsters to attack my shelter from underground.
If I had discovered it any later.
Even if it couldn't breach the shelter's Electromagnetic Shield, just causing uncontrolled subsidence would be enough to give me a headache..."
Upon hearing this, Da Bai suggested to Xu Zhengyang, "Master, we could install a vibration wave detection device inside the shelter.
This way, even if enemies approach the shelter from underground in the future, we can detect them and prepare in advance."
"Mm."
Xu Zhengyang nodded, "That's the only way for now."
Even so.
There's a saying: 'A thief can steal for a thousand days, but one cannot guard against theft for a thousand days.'
And even if Xu Zhengyang knew from which direction the Blood Plague Mother was attacking him underground, what could he do?
Whether it's the Prism Tower, the Rail-mounted 7mm Laser Defense System, or even the currently under-production Focused Electromagnetic Cannon...
These powerful defensive weapons are all built on the surface and can't reach underground!
Thinking about the possibility of the Blood Plague Mother birthing other strange monsters, Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but say, "The future combat mode will no longer be planar.
It will be a three-dimensional combat mode, and even the underground cannot be ignored!"
As soon as Xu Zhengyang finished speaking.
On the other side, the Swift Falcon Sky Carrier also successfully completed its resource reserve mission, and a series of system messages appeared before his eyes: [Main Mission: Resource Reserve (Completed)]
[Reward Obtained: Secondary Strength Awakening Serum]
...
[Secondary Strength Awakening Serum]
[Effect: After use, increases your Strength attribute to 40 points and grants a corresponding Awakening Skill]
Seeing the mission reward, Xu Zhengyang didn't hesitate and directly injected it into his arm.
[You have used [Secondary Strength Awakening Serum]]
[Your Strength has increased to 40 points]
[You have acquired the skill: [Knockback]]
After seeing the system prompt, Xu Zhengyang looked down at his attributes to check the specific effects of the Knockback skill:
[Knockback: When your Strength check is higher than the enemy unit, you have a chance to knock them back, dealing additional damage]
The skills he mastered could not only be used by himself but could also be synchronized to various robots after applying Quantum Mapping.
"Not bad."
Xu Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this skill, then pondered for a moment and said, "We can produce some robots with sufficient tonnage and horsepower to maximize the potential of this skill."
Before Xu Zhengyang could finish speaking.
A series of red system subtitles suddenly appeared before his eyes: [Emergency Mission: Extraterrestrial Visitor (In Progress)]
[A mysterious escape pod has entered Earth's atmosphere and is about to crash on the west coast of North America. Do everything possible to bring it back to your shelter.]
[Mission Time Limit: 14 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 54 seconds]
Seeing the sudden emergency mission, Xu Zhengyang didn't hesitate. He immediately went to the surface of the shelter.
After transforming the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha into shuttle mode, he immediately flew towards the west coast! At the same time.
Xu Zhengyang issued an order to Da Bai, "Help me locate that escape pod entering the atmosphere and see where its final landing point will be!"
"Understood, Master."
Da Bai responded.
At the same time, he sent a map to Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses, explaining, "According to my model's inference, based on the current flight trajectory of the escape pod, it will ultimately land at this location.
Of course.
If this escape pod has propulsion or cushioning devices, then this entire area could be its landing point!"
Xu Zhengyang's heart sank halfway upon seeing the landing point predicted by Da Bai.
Regardless of which landing point it was.
This escape pod would land on the coastline of the west coast, with a high probability of landing in the sea!
Seeing this.
Xu Zhengyang could only silently pray, "I hope there aren't many Blood Plague monsters near the landing point of the escape pod.
I hope the Blood Plague monsters aren't interested in this extraterrestrial object..."
...
A moment later.
Before Xu Zhengyang could reach the destination, Da Bai suddenly alerted him, "Master, the escape pod has landed!
This escape pod not only lacks propulsion devices but even cushioning devices like parachutes.
It is now at this location, right near a medium-sized Blood Plague nest! The monsters in that nest have been startled by the explosion caused by the escape pod's landing and are now sending out small scouting parties."
As Da Bai spoke, he immediately sent the real-time satellite images to Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses.
"Just what I was afraid of!"
Xu Zhengyang sighed in relief after speaking, "Fortunately, it's just a medium-sized Blood Plague nest. Dealing with them isn't too difficult."
"But Master..."
Da Bai quickly zoomed in on the image of the medium-sized Blood Plague nest.
Highlighting the various unique Blood Plague monsters inside, he said, "The monsters in this nest seem to have undergone genetic editing.
They are entirely new species, just like the Blood Plague worms, that we've never encountered before!"
Looking at the images sent to his contact lenses by Da Bai, Xu Zhengyang's heart sank.
Inside, there were not only giant beetles with metallic sheens on their carapaces, each at least seven to eight meters long, but also creatures that somewhat resembled scorpions, yet their tails were hollow tubes, leaving one to wonder what they might spew out...
Upon seeing these terrifying new monsters within the Blood Plague nest, Xu Zhengyang remarked, "It seems we're not the only ones growing stronger.
The Blood Plague Mother has its own unique way of evolving as well!"
