World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 607 - 467: Destroy the Mother Nest (Two-in-One)_2
Chapter 607: Chapter 467: Destroy the Mother Nest (Two-in-One)_2
God knows if we let those guys get away this time, just how much their numbers will have multiplied by the next time we encounter them.
If we’re not careful and let them escape to the outside world again, I’m afraid Water Blue Star will face a real planetary war.
By then, it wouldn’t be something that just one Dawn could handle; I fear even ten or a hundred would be in vain.
Now, with the majority of the insects wiped out, the tasks that follow should be a lot easier.
Zhang Xiaoman first sent out the Star Guard to patrol around, trying to earn as many points as possible.
However, even though there were many insects here, most of them were Second Generation Insects or even Third Generation Insects, which basically offered no points.
After a while, he got tired of searching and simply ignored the corpses.
After all, so much time had passed, and since almost all the insects were dead, if there were any points, they were mostly likely to have dissipated.
He immediately drove the Dawn and left the place; he had to explore the entire island to ensure all the insects were thoroughly eradicated.
Before leaving, Zhang Xiaoman also conveniently took out the few big fellows in the sea.
These insects did provide quite a few points, with an average of about 30 points each.
Plus the big Beetle and some stray smaller insects he encountered earlier, he bagged over 500 points in this haul.
Below, Lune and the others stood uneasily in their original spot.
It wasn’t until a good while later that the scouts relayed their message.
All of the insects had been eliminated, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief and began to evacuate towards the port.
Around them, there were insect limbs and green blood everywhere.
Even though the crisis had been averted, they still didn’t dare to let their guard down one bit.
Fearing that something might suddenly jump out from those corpses.
However, their worries were obviously unnecessary.
With the Spirit Detection Technique, Zhang Xiaoman had cleaned up the insects here very thoroughly.
Even those hiding underground were dug out by him tirelessly.
Lune and the others smoothly made it back to the port.
Standing there now, looking around, everything had changed beyond recognition, presenting a desolate, end-of-the-world scene.
"Commander, we’ve only got one ship left that’s operational."
A warrior came running over with an update on the current situation.
Lune silently nodded, signaling that he understood.
At this moment, his mind was still entirely focused on the person who had just appeared.
"Who exactly is he? A human? Or an alien? What’s his connection to this island? And what connection does he have with the island’s shield? What are these monsters that suddenly appeared all about? Does he know where they come from?"
A series of questions churned in Lune’s mind, making him feel incredibly restless.
All the events seemed to be tangled together, leaving him without the slightest clue.
"Lune, calm down, it’s all over now; what we need to do is take these children home, they all have family waiting for them," Jonathan said, noticing something off with his superior, and came over to pat his shoulder for comfort.
Lune just looked at him steadily for a long while, then let out a sigh and said,
"Jonathan, don’t worry, I’m fine now. You’re right, our priority is to return now; there may still be hidden dangers here, we can’t risk our warriors any longer."
As he spoke, he looked at the remaining number of people and continued, "The sail ship can’t carry so many of us unless we unload some supplies and equipment. Considering safety, I suggest we make a light departure, what do you think?"
"I’m with you, Lune."
The two quickly came to a consensus.
As they were arranging things, a soldier suddenly ran over.
"Commander, there’s a note here, I think it’s likely left by that person just now..."
"What!"
Lune hurried forward, snatching the note eagerly.
This is a piece of paper with a very special material, engraved with a very familiar seven-pointed star pattern.
The moment he saw its contents, he couldn’t help but pause, his eyes fixed.
The note had only a short message of four words:
Leave this place!
Jonathan also came over, and he saw the content of the note as well.
The two exchanged glances and each saw a hint of bitterness in the other’s eyes.
It seemed that this Transcendent didn’t hold them in very high regard.
No wonder, after all, they had previously mobilized helicopters to attack that person’s shield.
If it were themselves, they definitely wouldn’t have a good opinion of such people either.
Lune carefully stored the note close to him and then turned to the person beside him and said,
"Alright, there’s nothing left to linger for here, everyone get on board, let’s go!"
...
At night, above the Star Alliance’s landing pad.
Zhang Xiaoman had just finished a three-hour sweep and tracking, annihilating all the insects that could be found.
He had truly not expected that the Desert Worms would have already been springing up all over Rebirth Island, establishing quite a few mother nests.
If he hadn’t discovered it in time, in just another ten days or half a month, the entire Star Alliance Base might face an endless attack from insect swarms from all directions.
By then, even with defense shields and strangling vines, it would not necessarily be to their advantage under such a sea of insects.
The main thing was, killing these insects didn’t yield any points.
Fortunately, now that the mother nests had been discovered early and the main force of the insect swarm on this island had been eradicated, the remnants within the mother nests no longer posed a significant threat.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t even need to use the Dawn’s ammunition; he could wipe out those creatures himself.
After a small harvest of points, he had now completed the clean-up and returned to the base.
But now, a new problem was giving him some trouble.
That was, the Dawn had grown bigger after the upgrade and could no longer dock at the landing pad below.
The previous class of the Dawn was an Escort Ship of the Flow Star Level, with length, width, and height of 76, 31, and 25 meters, respectively.
Now, after the upgrade, the ship had reached the level of a Destroyer.
Zhang Xiaoman had not yet had a chance to check the specifics, but judging by its size, it was at least 150 meters in length.
This meant that, given the still unfinished landing pad, it was a bit too large to accommodate the vessel.
With no other choice, he had to dock the ship in the sky.
When needed, he could simply activate a wireless teleport to get there; anyone else wanting to go up would have to take other means of transportation like the Dawn and so on.
In fact, this was the correct way to use a space battleship.
Even according to the "Ship Management" description in the ship’s Star Order, due to considerations of use and maintenance, real space battleships are generally not allowed to dock on planets for long periods.
Some coatings on the armor surface of warships would undergo a series of decomposition reactions when exposed to air for a long time.
Zhang Xiaoman would prefer to dock the Dawn directly at a dedicated space station if conditions permitted.
"Just wondering if the Recovery Spell I got last time can repair the ship’s damage, or maybe the shield...?"
He suddenly considered a possibility, having always thought that Skill wasn’t very useful and that it was just for repairing antiques, so he had neglected it.
If this idea could be realized, it would undoubtedly be a very practical ability.
He decided to test it thoroughly when he had the chance.
Turning on his wristwatch’s projection, Zhang Xiaoman took the opportunity to familiarize himself with some of the new functionalities and data of the upgraded Dawn.
