Chapter 1 When the Explosion Dissipated

When the Tongtian explosion dissipated, Rulawi was seen retreating in a sorry state, his entire body charred black.

A hint of fear leaked from his ugly, bony face.

Then, he turned and fled!

Seeing this, Mai Han's eyes flashed with murderous intent! Although he couldn't figure out whether Rulawi was a human or a monster, he was clear on one thing. This guy was an enemy, and if he didn't take the opportunity to eliminate him, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause in the future. Now that he was injured and trying to escape, it wouldn't be so easy. He had to strike while the iron was hot.

So, Mai Han slammed the control stick, maximizing power output and controlling the mecha to chase after him.

Rulawi glanced back at Mai Han chasing him and ran even faster.

General Mai Han relentlessly pursued him.

A moment later, Rulawi and Mai Han left the battlefield and fled to a range of undulating mountains.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Rulawi stopped. He turned his head to look at Mai Han.

Mai Han controlled the mecha to raise the spear in its hand, pointing it at Rulawi.

"Today is your death day!"

Rulawi let out a cackling laugh, his entire face twisting grotesquely as he said, "It really is a case of heaven offering a path you refuse to take, and hell having no gate, yet you insist on barging in. Since that's the case, I'll send you to your death and let you see my full power."

Although Mai Han felt that something was wrong, he wasn't intimidated by Rulawi.

He controlled the mecha to turn into a streak of light and charge forward, the jet-black spear piercing towards Rulawi's chest.

*Ka!*

The jet-black spear struck Rulawi's chest, but it was like a stick hitting a metal wall. The enormous force of the rebound almost made Mai Han lose his grip on the spear.

He looked at Rulawi in horror, his face filled with disbelief.

How was this possible?

In the next second, Rulawi's eyes turned blood red, and a terrifying aura spread out.

"You forced me to use my full power."

A black warning box popped up on Mai Han's control screen.

"Warning, target's negative particle energy reaction is skyrocketing!"

Before Mai Han could react, Rulawi swung his bone hand and directly struck the chest of the Shatterer mecha.

The entire Shatterer mecha flew out like a kite with a broken string, flying thousands of meters and crashing into the opposite mountain peak.

*Boom!*

Then, the entire mecha fell.

Inside the cockpit, Mai Han felt a burst of intense pain and passed out.

At this moment, Rulawi flew to the damaged Shatterer mecha. The entire chest of the Shatterer mecha was dented, and sparks were flying everywhere.

However, Rulawi's control of force was very good, and he didn't completely destroy the entire mecha, only temporarily paralyzing it.

Then, Rulawi shrank in size and turned back into human form. He jumped onto the mecha's body and opened the cockpit.

Looking at the unconscious Mai Han, he revealed a sinister smile.

"Who's there?"

Suddenly, Rulawi turned his head to look to the side. Aiman was walking over, respectfully saying.

"Lord Rulawi."

"What are you doing here?"

"I was just worried that something might happen to you."

"Everything is under my control. What could possibly happen?"

Rulawi said proudly.

"Then, my lord, you're not going to kill this person?"

Aiman asked with a puzzled expression.

"Keeping him alive is more useful than killing him. If there are no accidents, what I'm looking for shouldn't be here, otherwise the military strength here wouldn't be so poor."

"But, Lord Rulawi, even if you infect him and send him back, he'll be detected by human equipment."

Aiman reminded him.

"I naturally have a way."

After Rulawi finished speaking, he took out a tube of dark green potion from his body. At the same time, he used his finger to cut open his other palm and dripped a few drops of his dark red blood into the potion tube.

Then, he pried open Mai Han's mouth and poured the potion into it.

"This..."

Aiman was shocked by Rulawi's actions.

"My blood mixed with this special potion can allow the negative energy virus to enter a dormant period in his body, so it won't be discovered. When the time is right, it will erupt little by little. With the equipment of these people from low-level civilizations, they won't be able to detect it at all. At that time, there might be unexpected surprises, and I can find what I want."

Rulawi revealed an extremely evil smile.

"Lord Rulawi is wise."

"Let's go!"

Rulawi closed the cockpit again and cleaned up all traces, as if nothing had happened.

Aiman couldn't help but take another look at Mai Han, a subtle expression flashing in his eyes.

A moment later, inside the Shatterer's cockpit, Mai Han groggily woke up. He felt a sharp pain in his chest. He might have broken a rib, or possibly suffered internal damage.

After regaining his senses, he looked at himself in disbelief.

He wasn't dead. Shouldn't he have been killed?

He endured the pain in his body, pulled the control stick, and controlled the mecha to get up, looking around warily.

But he didn't see Rulawi's figure.

Mai Han felt even more strange. What was going on? Could it be that the other party succeeded with one blow and thought he had killed him, so he didn't come over to check and finish him off?

He thought about it and it seemed that there was no other explanation.

However, Mai Han himself felt it was ridiculous and that something was wrong.

Even a fool could tell that the guy's strength was extraordinary. He might have been trying to lure him out all along.

How did he survive?

Mai Han's expression changed several times. He felt increasingly confused and inexplicably panicked.

Could it be that the guy did something to him?

Mai Han quickly checked his body to see if there were any cuts or injuries.

After some self-examination, apart from the severe impact and internal injuries, there were no other wounds or abnormalities.

Mai Han breathed a sigh of relief, but in the next second, he suddenly raised his head.

"Damn it, could it be a feint to attack the main force, the depot base!"

Thinking of this, Mai Han controlled the mecha to take off and rush back to the depot base.

At this time, at the depot base, the Third Army's defense forces were desperately fighting back,

shooting at the monsters non-stop!

If you observed carefully, you would notice that the stronger leading monsters seemed to be guided by something and were disengaging from the battle!

Only the Type I and Type II monsters were attacking crazily without any rationality.

Of course, with such an intense battle, no one would notice the changes on the battlefield.

Just then, Mai Han controlled the damaged Shatterer mecha to return.

The defending soldiers cheered when they saw Mai Han returning.

"The general is back!"

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was still holding and the depot base had not been captured, Mai Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If his mistake had led to the loss of the Third Army's main force, he would have truly become a sinner.

Instantly, the morale of the struggling soldiers soared, and the sound of fierce gunfire came from all around!

The outer troops were returning in droves.

Su Mo and the others also rushed back.

Mai Han took a deep breath, controlled the damaged mecha to rush down, pierced a Type II Black Hem Spider with one shot, and roared in the communication channel.

"Kill them all!"

Immediately, the defending forces, in coordination with the returning troops, began to encircle and kill these monsters!

.......

Inside the Black Yao command room, an operator reported.

"Officer Spader, the First Army has stormed into the central palace area of ​​Batak Royal City, but was intercepted by type IV mixed creatures. The type IV biological mecha has now been launched to fight back. The two sides are now evenly matched! And a vanguard exploration team of the First Army sneaked into the palace and found the closed treasury. There should be good things inside, and maybe what we are looking for is inside."

"I see."

Spader's expression became more and more solemn.

"Report, recent monitoring devices have discovered that a large number of aliens are gathering towards the Royal City. It is expected that Batak Royal City will be surrounded in 24 hours. At that time, the First Army may be attacked from both sides!"

"Damn it, what about the Second Army?"

"Recent feedback information shows that the Second Army found a giant material point and a large amount of scattered resources in Doom City. But it was also attacked by many monsters and is now unable to protect itself!"

The operator hurriedly reported.

"What about the Third Army?"

Spader asked.

"The area of ​​the Third Army is covered by extreme weather and has temporarily lost contact. However, if necessary, special personnel can be sent to parachute and notify them on a small communication spaceship."

"Immediately send someone to notify General Mai Han and let him take some people to the outskirts of the Royal City to intercept the incoming alien swarm."

Spader thought again and again and decisively issued the order.

"Understood, I will arrange for someone to notify them."

Augulas said to Spader: "This operation has reached the most critical moment."

"That's right, we must make a quick decision. The longer our troops stay on Planet Batak, the more monsters will wake up, and then it will be troublesome. I hope everything goes smoothly."

Spader took a deep breath.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

Depot base, Su Mo drove the Black Steel mecha and stepped on the corpse of a Type II Black Hem Spider, pulling out the alloy spear.

He looked up at the surroundings. The battle had basically stopped, and all the invading monsters had been surrounded and killed. Of course, neither the defending forces nor the returning forces of the Third Army were in good shape. The losses were also very heavy, and it could be seen that the fighting was indeed fierce enough.

Therefore, when they won, there was no cheering as imagined.

Instead, everyone relaxed and the atmosphere became very solemn.

Mai Han looked at the dead soldiers, his heart was also bleeding, and he ordered.

"Clean up the battlefield and send all the injured personnel to the medical area of ​​the GT department."

"Yes!"

His subordinates responded.

After making arrangements, inside the mecha cockpit, Mai Han took out a healing potion from his emergency aid kit and injected himself with it.

Then he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, a special warship broke through the thick clouds and landed towards the depot base.

"Quick, quick, look, a warship is coming down."

A soldier who was cleaning the battlefield raised his head and saw this scene and shouted anxiously.

After just finishing the battle, a ship suddenly appeared, and everyone would worry that the enemy was coming again.

So they raised the weapons in their hands and were vigilant.

However, as the warship approached, everyone's hearts relaxed slightly. They saw the number on the warship. It was a federal emergency small spaceship.

At this time, the spaceship landed directly at the entrance of the depot base.

The hatch opened, and a messenger walked down. He was also shocked when he saw the alien corpses all over the ground.

Even a fool would know that a fierce battle had just taken place here.

At this time, Mai Han opened the mecha cockpit, jumped down from it, and walked straight to the messenger.

"General Mai Han!"

The messenger quickly saluted Mai Han.

"What's the matter."

Seeing this emergency messenger, Mai Han's expression became extremely serious. Under normal circumstances, the Black Yao would not send a messenger over.

"That's right, the First Army, which is carrying out a mission in the Royal City, is now in trouble. The fierce battle has alarmed the aliens on the periphery, and many aliens are surrounding the Royal City. Officer Spader has ordered that if possible, you should immediately dispatch troops to the outside of Batak Royal City to intercept the surrounding monsters and buy enough time for the First Army's battle."

The messenger explained.

Mai Han's expression kept changing. His side had just experienced a tragic battle.

Of course, it was not impossible. Although the Third Army had suffered heavy losses, it still retained good combat effectiveness.

Since Officer Spader specifically issued a support order, then it could be affirmed that this matter was very urgent.

So Mai Han said in a deep voice: "I know, I will reorganize the troops, arrange the affairs, and lead the troops to support."

"Thank you so much."

The messenger saluted. In fact, he was already mentally prepared for Mai Han to refuse, because it came at a very unfortunate time.

Then Mai Han picked up the portable communicator and said,

"I am General Mai Han, all squadron commanders, immediately go to the temporary conference room of the depot base for a meeting!"

......

Su Mo was also stunned for a moment. What was going on? Why was there a meeting so soon?

The cleanup work here had not been completed yet.

Xiao Wen walked to Su Mo's side and said: "Su Mo, let's go to the meeting, I'll leave this to you. You have to ensure that everyone in our team who is injured is taken away by the GT department's medical team to receive treatment!"

It was not that Xiao Wen did not trust the GT department's medical team, but that there were too many injured people in this battle, and he was afraid that the GT department's medical team would refuse.

"Okay!"

Su Mo nodded in response.

Then Xiao Wen and others walked towards the base.

At this time, Fen Di walked out of the base with her subordinates, and she said coldly: "All injured people, line up immediately and follow us! And all uninjured people should check each other, and report any people who conceal their injuries! Don't take any chances, we will conduct spot checks afterwards, and once we find that someone is deliberately concealing their injuries, they will be executed on the spot according to military law!"

Although everyone was already very dissatisfied with Fen Di, they had to bow their heads under the eaves.

Everyone still cooperated obediently.

.....

The follow-up cleanup work lasted three hours before it ended.

All the injured people were also taken into the base.

At this time, Xiao Wen and others also came out, and the meeting seemed to be over.

At the same time, the elite troops of the entire Third Army began to transport various weapons and load them onto their transport vehicles. A large number of outer troops who came to support were also gathering their team members and heading to their camps to return to their warships.

"What happened?"

Su Mo asked when he saw the commotion.

"The Third Army has suspended some operations. All the elite troops are about to board the ship and go to the Royal City to support the First Army."

Xiao Wen explained to Su Mo.

"Aren't we going to hurry back to the Gray Bee?"

"That's not necessary, because we were not selected. Instead, we were left to guard the depot base, and by the way, continue to explore the unexplored hidden depot point."

Xiao Wen explained.

"Did General Mai Han stay?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"No, General Mai Han is also leaving. Let me tell you this, there are a total of five teams left. From now on, this camp will be temporarily taken over by our five captains. These five captains are me, Zewu, Utol, Widoman, and Shi Bao, and all decisions will be made by us jointly."

Xiao Wen explained.

When Chen Shan heard this, he said with some rejoicing: "It's good to stay behind, at least we can catch our breath."

It was not that Chen Shan was cowardly. They had a total of 300 people who went to war this time. So far, 45 of them had died and a total of 97 injured members had been isolated.

That is to say, even if you count them, only about half of the people can fight.

If they go to the Royal City to fight a blocking battle, if it goes smoothly, it will be fine, but if it does not go smoothly, they may all die there.

"Don't be too happy, it's not entirely a good thing that we stay behind. This place is also very dangerous. If it weren't for the fact that there are a large number of injured people who need to be treated here, General Mai Han would not have left us here."

Xiao Wen did not feel a trace of ease.

"Okay."

Chen Shan sighed helplessly. He could only hope that everything went smoothly and that there would be no more troubles.

Before long, transport warships set sail in the rain, but fortunately, although it was still raining, the rain was temporarily much smaller.

For a time, the huge depot base became very empty.

At this time, Xiao Wen and Zewu and other captains met to start arranging defenses.

.......

Two days later, Su Mo was lying in the mecha cockpit, sleeping.

He was vaguely awakened by the noisy quarreling sound.

He opened his eyes, opened the cockpit and jumped down, walking towards the direction where the quarreling sound came from.

He saw Chen Shan and others confronting the defense personnel of the GT department.

The two sides were arguing fiercely!

Su Mo walked over and asked: "Chen Shan, what's the matter."

Chen Shan was full of fire and said angrily: "What else could be the matter? These two days have been a little easier, so we wanted to come and see the injured brothers. As a result, these people won't let us in, as if we owe them money."

"Talk nicely, there's no need for us to quarrel."

Su Mo frowned slightly and said.

"It's not that we don't talk to them nicely. We've already put down our faces and asked them nicely, just to let us take a look, but they just don't want to. When did it become so difficult to visit our own brothers?"

Chen Shan was about to go crazy, he had already made a lot of concessions.

Su Mo frowned tightly. It was indeed a bit too much. He turned his head to look at the person in charge of the GT department and said.

"This officer, we actually have no malice, we just simply want to visit our companions. If there is anything offensive, please forgive us. But I also hope you can understand us. If you think we have too many visitors, we can send a few representatives to go in and visit."

Su Mo lowered his posture and pleaded.

Unfortunately, Fen Di had no intention of backing down at all: "According to the military law promulgated during the war, any visits are strictly prohibited."

"Did you see that!"

Chen Shan was about to explode with anger.

At this time, Captains Xiao Wen, Zewu and others also rushed over and scolded.

"What's going on!"

"Captain, we're not making trouble, we just want to see our brothers. It's been so long since they were sent in, and there's not even a fart, there's no reason for this."

"Yes!"

.....

After listening, Captains Xiao Wen and others also fell into silence. In fact, they also wanted to see the injured team members.

So they began to negotiate with Fen Di.

"Doctor Fen Di, can you please accommodate us and let us visit our companions? I hope you can understand the mood of the soldiers."

"No means no. Do you officers want to violate military orders?"

"Isn't there any room for negotiation? No matter what, the five of us are now the highest-ranking officers left behind. In a sense, we should have the right to decide. Please accommodate us, Doctor Fen Di. If there are any consequences in the future, we are willing to bear them."

The faces of Xiao Wen and others became even more ugly. It was not that they were being confronted, but that they felt something was wrong.

"There's no room for negotiation. Anyone who dares to break in will be regarded as disobeying military orders, and those who are serious can be shot on the spot!"

Fen Di replied mercilessly.

"Just with you people, brothers, take them down!"

Chen Shan and others were instantly furious and drew their weapons.

The situation instantly got out of control, and the GT department's guard soldiers also drew their weapons.

When Xiao Wen and others saw this scene, their faces became more and more gloomy. Since things had reached this point, they were not going to be polite.

"Sorry, disarm them!"

So Chen Shan and others, after receiving the order, rushed up without saying a word.

In fact, the GT department's medical team also has a lot of escorts. However, because General Mai Han led his troops to support, a large number of doctors and escorts from the GT department's medical team separated and left with him.

The remaining people were no match for Chen Shan and the others.

They were disarmed in a few strokes.

Fen Di bit her lip, she was completely helpless.

"Let's go brothers, let's go in and see!"

Chen Shan shouted loudly.

"You can't go in."

"That's not up to you."

Zewu and others replied angrily.

Standing aside, Su Mo frowned as he watched the situation. He always felt that something was wrong.

Although the GT department was newly established, the people inside seemed to be superior to others. But there was no reason to hold on to this point. Su Mo felt more and more that something was wrong.

He quickly followed the crowd in.

So everyone broke into the GT medical team area, and along the way they met many doctors, who were frightened when they saw Chen Shan and others breaking in.

They shouted in horror.

"You can't come in."

"Shut up, if you talk nonsense, we'll tie you up too."

.....

Soon they came to the isolation room.

"The door is locked, there's no key."

A soldier stepped forward and touched it and said.

"Ask that bitch for the key."

"She definitely won't give it."

"What key do you need, I'll do it!"

A mechanic soldier directly took out a tool he carried with him and fiddled with it.

*Ka!* The door opened directly!

What came into view was individual isolation rooms that were individually closed. To put it bluntly, it was a large room divided into five small rooms, and the environment was extremely simple, and the situation inside could not be seen.

Many people were immediately angry.

"What the hell, are they locking our people up like animals? This is abuse."

"Brothers, we've come to see you."

Everyone shouted loudly.

"Huh ~ why is there no response?"

"Stop talking nonsense, open it!"

"Okay, I'll open it now."

......

*Ka!*

Soon the first single room was opened, and everyone rushed over excitedly, only to find that it was empty.

"What's going on, where are the people?"

"Open the next one."

.......

P.S. Last time for the nucleic acid test, continue to update tomorrow.
