As time passed, the four-armed apes hidden in the beast tide fell one after another. The recharge time for the external light particle cannon is six seconds, plus the time for maneuvering to avoid and find a sniping position, and to discover and lock onto the target, so roughly every half minute, a four-armed ape would meet its ancestral god!
The fierce beasts clearly did not want to watch their masters be slaughtered, and they all rushed forward in a frenzy, attacking the energy shield outside the base without regard for their lives. Even with the firepower organized by Muriya, it could not completely stop their assault.
The light blue large energy shield, under the tearing and pulling of numerous powerful beasts, became noticeably distorted and deformed, and later swayed precariously, its color dimming, like a soap bubble about to burst!
However, by this time, Qin Huang's sniping operation was almost over, and most of those arrogant beings hiding in the beast tide had been precisely killed, with their bodies mostly destroyed!
"This... This is impossible!" Liu Caihui's voice was tinged with frustration:
"He must have cheated somehow, it must be that!"
"You idiot!" Even his boss, Xiao Pingyue, couldn't stand it anymore and angrily scolded:
"This isn't a virtual light brain scenario; in a real battlefield, what can you use to cheat? Unless those damned beasts are his pets!"
"Uh..." Liu Caihui mumbled, not daring to speak.
On the battlefield, as the number of four-armed apes rapidly decreased, the beast tide's assault gradually slowed down. These beasts, now without organization and control, faced the fierce artillery fire of the human army, and their instinct to seek safety and avoid harm took over, causing them to become hesitant and stop advancing!
When the first beast turned and fled, more followed, and within just over ten minutes, the massive beast tide had completely retreated! The vast battlefield was silent, with only the thick layer of beast corpses and the colorful blood and internal organs scattered on the ground, testifying to the ferocity of the battle.
"Finally done!" Qin Huang sighed in relief.
This important base was saved. Regardless of whether new troubles would arise later, it would take at least one to two hours to organize a beast tide of the same scale again! They had enough time to rest and bring in more energy ammunition from outside!
After discussing with the base commander, Muriya immediately organized the students to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and collect the remains of the soldiers for future military compensation.
As for the beast corpses, many had processing and utilization value, and some were extremely rare, so none could be left behind; they all had to be recovered.
Strictly speaking, the military's routine hunting and clearing operations usually did not collect so many beast samples, so as long as this battle was successfully sustained to the end, it could be considered an action with benefits far outweighing the costs!
Qin Huang walked out of the base's energy shield, operated the mech to pull out several bright white bone spears from the body of a light blue jellyfish-like beast, and carefully examined them. He found that although the mother had died, the spears still carried a strong alien energy aura, which had an inexplicable corrosive effect on the energy shields of human army equipment!
"This thing can actually threaten mechs, it's unbelievable!" He thought to himself. If this thing were sent to the military laboratory for research, perhaps a new special weapon could be developed.
Muriya's voice suddenly came: "No protective measures are 100% effective. The military has long had special equipment for this, and not just one kind. So remember, don't overly rely on the mech's energy shield in the future!"
Qin Huang turned his head, and "Blood Wing Dragon" had moved to his side.
"Instructor," he thought for a moment and asked:
"Shouldn't the military of Dinnan Star have known about the existence of primitive intelligent races in the mountains of Dinnan Star? Haven't they taken any measures? Has such a large-scale beast tide rebellion happened before?"
Muriya snorted and said coolly: "Qin Huang, your questions involve the highest secrets of the Federation. This is not something you should know! If you keep asking, I'll have to report it!"
"... Alright!"
Qin Huang sighed, thinking that as expected, the Dinnan Star military must be up to something that shouldn't be known to outsiders, and it likely has something to do with the native races outside, otherwise they wouldn't be so desperate.
Muriya was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly switched to a private communication channel and said:
"Actually, what I know isn't much more than you. I can only confirm that this incident was indeed caused by a secret experiment by the military, and then for some reason, the news leaked, and the result was that those things came..."
According to her, the unusual movement of the beast tide was noticed three days ago, but at the time, the Dinnan Star military did not pay much attention. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late!
A batch of smaller-scale, less well-defended mines and military camps were flattened by the enraged beast tide in the first instance, with no survivors among the human garrisons, and all valuable minerals and usable resources, weapons, and equipment were looted by the four-armed apes!
Then the scale of the beast tide grew larger, finally threatening the normal operation of several major bases and core mines! The military had to urgently mobilize nearby troops for support, but due to the fierce attacks, they could only barely maintain the situation without further deterioration!
This mountain world has special conditions; medium and large warships cannot enter, the number of mech corps is limited, and the combat power of other units is limited. After several failed attempts, the Dinnan Star military had to swallow their pride and seek help from nearby military districts.
However, for some reason, the armies in the nearby star regions all had various issues, and after several rounds of negotiations, the fastest mech corps, delivered by a transport fleet, would take at least eight hours to arrive.
Therefore, with no other options, the Dinnan Star military had to turn to these students who had not yet graduated, leading to the emergency mobilization order.
"In that case, this matter is far from over!" Qin Huang said solemnly:
"Those native intelligent races haven't achieved their goal, they will definitely come back, right? I wonder what they really want? To completely clear out all our human bases? It doesn't seem that simple."
The situation is clearly not that simple. If their goal were so simple, they would have reacted when the Federation first entered this world many years ago. Why wait until now?
Muriya was silent for a while before continuing: "We don't know the answer to the second question, but the first one now has an answer!"
"What?"
"Right now, the micro-detectors set up around the base have sent back information, saying that new groups of beasts are starting to appear and are moving towards the base!" Muriya's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
Qin Huang's expression changed slightly, and he said: "Can we take the initiative now? Clear them out before the beasts around the base form a large group? That way, the pressure we face will be less."
"Hmm, that's a good idea!" Muriya nodded and said: "I'll go discuss it with Major Kandell."
A few minutes later, the students received a new order: everyone was to center on the base and clear out any beasts within a 20-kilometer radius, with a task time of one hour.
"... Damn, finally got the chance!" Zhu Yingxuan thought as soon as he received the order.
Beside him, Su Wenxue seemed to guess his intentions and said through a private channel: "You have to be able to beat him first!"
Zhu Yingxuan's voice faltered, and he asked somewhat unhappily: "What do you mean?"
"Nothing, I just mean we should call them! It's good to have each other's support when something happens." Su Wenxue's voice showed no emotional fluctuation.
The young master of the Zhu family was silent for a moment before saying: "Alright, I'll talk to them. I believe they won't refuse."
The persuasion process went smoothly, and a few moments later, several mechs rushed out into the vast cave world outside the base.
At this time, Qin Huang was leading the Wu brothers deep into a branch cave. Although it was called a branch, it was actually several hundred meters high and wide, and the mechs could fly inside without any difficulty. Its depth was hard to estimate.
"... This world is indeed very wondrous," Qin Huang said after the three of them killed a fish-fin venomous centipede. He looked up and saw the high cave ceiling, embedded with countless large gems of various colors, and some transparent jellyfish-like light balls floating in the air.
Of course, those were not real gems, but the effect of luminescent fungi clusters in the cave. Some rare varieties even had a certain degree of attack capability, and soldiers without protective measures who dared to pass through here would likely encounter some unimaginable accidents.
After observing the terrain for a moment, Qin Huang led the Wu brothers further in.
Not long after, a sudden earthquake caused the ground to suddenly sink, and a fierce, dark red monster, as thick as a bucket, suddenly leaped out, its grotesque and ugly mouth charging at the Gargoyle mech in front, biting down fiercely!
"Gold Armor Earth Dragon?" Qin Huang was slightly stunned, but his actions were quick. A bright blue particle oscillation blade, tinged with a hint of light green, instantly activated, leaving trails of afterimages as it met the attack head-on.
A strange, muffled roar, and dark purple blood spurted out. The Gargoyle mech was almost knocked over by the massive impact, but Qin Huang quickly regained control, and the bright blade struck again at high speed!
The modified and optimized particle oscillation blade had significantly increased its lethality. With Qin Huang's full effort, it only took a few rounds for the powerful beast to show obvious signs of weakening.
