Chapter 1 The Calm Before the Storm

After obtaining Li Tianran's permission, Lu Chi made preparations very quickly. After thirty minutes of preparation and disguise, more than a dozen helicopters and the large transport ship slowly left the sea and headed towards the Beast Nest.

On the other side, after giving the order, Li Tianran quickly began to integrate resources to prepare for support.

Although Kuangxi Island is thousands of kilometers away from the Beast Nest, Li Tianran had to go there himself. Morpira's army was already in a state of disarray and its combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced. Bai Jingyan also lacked experience in commanding large-scale army battles. If Morpira's army was rashly transferred to attack the beast tide, it might be counterproductive.

Under the counterattack of the beast tide, Morpira's already scattered morale would collapse quickly. Once a rout occurred, the entire situation would collapse very quickly. Moreover, large-scale military operations would attract attention from many parties. If Morpira's large-scale battle with the beast tide was discovered by powerful countries, then any of Li Tianran's goals would be impossible to achieve.

So in this battle, Li Tianran could only rely on himself.

"Open the Shop."

"Purchase Adult-Class Combat Maniacs x800!"

"Purchase Tank-Class Combat Maniacs x80!"

"Purchase Hurricane-Class Bombers x20!"

"Purchase..."

Li Tianran watched his Shop points disappear like flowing water. The original nearly one billion points were consumed by nearly two-thirds in just fifty seconds, and at this time, a whole army appeared in front of him.

Adult-Class Maniacs, Tank-Class Maniacs, explosive spider-shaped machines, bombers, helicopters, tanks, chariots...

Li Tianran stood in the empty square, in front of him was an ocean of steel weapons mostly composed of silver-white Adult-Class Maniacs and Tank-Class Maniacs.

This was a force that knew no fear and completely obeyed orders. They might not have the outstanding and special abilities of the evolutionaries, but in the course of Li Tianran's development, these steel warriors were undoubtedly the most stable and reliable.

Even now, when Li Tianran decided to launch a war, the first thing he thought of was them!

"This war is very important. I have invested a lot. If this battle can be won, Kuangxi Island will obtain huge amounts of resources and develop rapidly in the future." Li Tianran swept his gaze over the steel force in front of him and said calmly, "But if this battle fails, my plan will suffer a great blow. Kuangxi Island will need at least a month to recover, and we will not have enough confidence to face the arrival of the Fourth Destruction Epoch."

Li Tianran looked at the mechanical warriors in front of him, without caring whether they could understand his words, standing there, saying pre-war mobilization words to this group of unconscious warriors.

Li Tianran's behavior at this time was like many truck drivers who would kneel and burn incense to their trucks before starting work every year, hoping that it would bless them with peace and wealth.

Everyone knew that machines would not respond to humans, nor would they change their performance because of human respect or disgust.

This was a kind of spiritual sustenance similar to "metaphysics."

It was also enough to show Li Tianran's mood at this time.

He was nervous.

A little uneasy.

Even when he attacked the Russian temporary supply point, his spirit had never been as tense as it was today.

The enemies in the Beast Nest were exceptionally powerful, not only in number.

This was a group of enemies composed of humans and Beast Kings. They not only possessed the Beast Kings' powerful brutality and special evolutionary abilities, but also human technological weapons. In other words, this was another form of "Kuangxi Island."

Most of the advantages that Li Tianran had on Kuangxi Island, the other side also possessed.

"I hope you can win this war." Li Tianran stretched out his arms towards the mechanical warriors in front of him and said, word by word, "With me."

A large amount of light shone, and this ocean of steel weapons all disappeared, becoming rows of model data in Li Tianran's system inventory.

Buzz!

A Hurricane-Class bomber swept across the sky above Kuangxi Island and disappeared straight into the distant sea horizon.

...

A large ship slowly sailed into the canyon of the beast tide, and more than a dozen helicopters flew in the sky.

On both sides of the canyon's towering mountain walls, some mutated beasts clung to them, watching the cargo ship printed with the Morpira national logo with violent and crazy eyes.

The Beast King flashed past from the sea below the canyon, and a huge shadow swept past under the ship, bringing a strange vibration.

After passing through here, Lu Chi and others completely entered the enemy's lair.

"Raiding Team Five is returning and has passed through the canyon."

A team of human deserters stood above the canyon, quietly watching the cargo ship and helicopters pass through the canyon, and contacted the Beast Nest center with a walkie-talkie.

"Raiding Team Five, dock the cargo ship in Area 113." Inside the walkie-talkie, came a sharp response from a Beast King.

The team of human deserters stood on the canyon and connected to the helicopter's radio, specifying the docking location within the beast tide.

"Area 113..." Inside the cargo ship, a kidnapped black soldier stuttered and opened his mouth to Lu Chi, his expression a little ugly.

Lu Chi noticed the change in his expression and immediately asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Usually, after the Raiding Team robs the cargo ship back, it docks in Area 111, which is closer to the warehouse... and Area 113 is an open space that has not yet been built. Generally speaking, cargo ships are rarely docked there," the black soldier explained.

"Rarely?" Lu Chi continued to ask.

"Yes, unless Area 111 is full of cargo ships," the black soldier said.

"..." Lu Chi frowned. He was considering whether this instruction had a deeper meaning, whether the other party had discovered their location through some details, so they deliberately wanted them to dock the ship in a place far away from the warehouse?

Soon, new information came from the radio.

"There are two cargo ships docking and unloading in Area 111."

Hearing this sentence, the expression on the black soldier's face relaxed a little.

But after hearing this sentence, Lu Chi frowned even tighter. He was silent for three seconds, and then used the button communicator to talk to all the Pioneer warriors: "Get ready, find a chance to abandon the helicopter immediately after crossing the canyon, and the people on the cargo ship also escape from the emergency exit!"

"We may have been discovered!"

Lu Chi's eyes were sharp.

If the second sentence was not transmitted in the walkie-talkie, he would still be a little suspicious, but the transmission of the second sentence made him confirm his idea.

Because the voices of these two sentences were the same, but the tone was a little different.

The first sentence had a strong commanding tone.

The second sentence, however, was much softer.

From the tone of the first sentence, it could be heard that the Beast King who was talking to the Raiding Team at this time was obviously in the "ruling" class within the Beast Nest. Under this identity, the explanation in the second sentence seemed very redundant.

In a company, if the boss asks an employee to wipe the desk in his office, will he specifically explain to him that the cleaner is on leave today?

Ninety percent of bosses won't!

So the other party's second sentence seemed very redundant.

The only possibility was that the other party had made an abnormal move, afraid that Lu Chi would discover the abnormality, so he prepared to use the second sentence to dispel Lu Chi's concerns!

But the more this was the case, the more it alerted Lu Chi.

"The other party must have discovered the abnormality of Raiding Team 5! Area 113 is definitely a death zone. If we obediently sail the ship there, we will definitely be wiped out by concentrated fire! The other party wants the Raiding Team to dock in the vast, undeveloped Area 113, probably to prevent the already constructed areas in the Beast Nest from being destroyed in the battle." Lu Chi's eyes were sharp, and he said in the button communicator: "The original plan is canceled! These beasts are much smarter than we thought, our disguise can't hide them! Each of you find a chance to abandon the plane and jump ship! This Beast Nest is very big. After jumping ship and abandoning the plane, find a hidden place to lurk. I will find a chance to gather everyone!"

The center of the Beast Nest, a building.

The sea lizard Beast King stared coldly at the radar screen, the red dot representing Raiding Team 5 was slowly moving towards Area 113, the ferocious corners of its mouth cracked open, revealing an extremely human-like cruel smile.
