Last Totem Novel - Chapter 179
Chapter 179 March
Three days later, maintenance personnel reported that the satellite signal receiver had been repaired and that the area had been covered with communication signals. Subsequently, at the suggestion of the maintenance personnel, Tie Zha updated General Leech via satellite video.
“Good job!” On the small screen of the communicator, the fat general gave a thumbs up and praised.
“General, the mission briefing did not mention that there is a Hegemon of the Abyss here.” Tie Zha reminded.
“Is that so?” The fat general put on an expression of disbelief and asked as if nothing had happened.
“Yes.” Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and replied in a deep voice.
“How about this” The fat general pondered for a moment and muttered, “When you come back, I’ll give you some credits.”
“How much?” Iron Slag asked impolitely.
“Let’s talk when we get back.” “It’s best to say it now, otherwise” Iron Slag continued to threaten the officer.
When the fat general saw this, his fleshy face twitched a few times. Then, he waved his hand and said sadly, “Eighty credits.”
“A total of 300 credits.” The iron slag and the reward for the mission were repeated.
“Wang Defu.” The fat general gave two thumbs up and spoke Silver City’s noble language.
“Sir, communication complete. Request to hang up.” Tie Zha casually saluted and said.
“Wait …” The fat general hurriedly waved his hands and said, “There’s an unexpected mission that requires you to run. I’ll send the mission data over now and pay attention to receiving it.” After saying that, the fat general lowered his head and pressed a few times on the keyboard. Seconds later, the mission information was sent over.
[Task Type: Emergency]
[Mission reward: 200 to 1,200 credits (assessed on a case-by-case basis)]
[Mission statement: Dark Jungle Guards found a nest of ant nests 300 km southeast of the Night Lighthouse.] At present, they are assemble troops and plan to launch an attack within two week; As one of the human defenses in the dark jungle, we need to cooperate with the garrison to set up a perimeter within 10 km of the wormnest to prevent the fish from escaping the net during the general attack.]
[The coordinates of the defense line are …]
“You are the reinforcements of the defensive line. You are stationed three kilometers away from the defensive line.” The fat general leaned closer to the camera and whispered, “Retreat if you’re in danger, you know …”
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded his head. The fat general’s meaning was very clear. He was going to earn credits and didn’t need to participate in the battle.
After the communication ended, Tie Zha called Wang Hu, Mu Qianhe, and Giant Ah Mu to briefly explain the situation of the mission. Wang Hu immediately pointed out that this was a good job, almost the same as giving away credits for nothing. After all, the students of the Academy Alliance were not regular soldiers, so they had no obligation to fight to the end. If the situation was critical, he could choose to retreat. Judging from the mission reward, as long as you go to a designated location to garrison, you will receive 200 credits. As for whether or not he should not participate in the later battles, it all depended on whether or not he could take advantage of them.
After the small meeting, the three of them went down to arrange their own actions. Wang Hu was in charge of commanding the Marine Corps, Mu Qianhe was in charge of commanding the mecha corps, and Giant Ah Mu was in charge of commanding the transport corps.
Two hours later, the team put away the tent and barbed wire fence, cleaned up the domestic garbage on the scene, and then marched towards the coordinates indicated by the mission. Tie Zha wore a walkie-talkie on his waist and walked alone 2KM in front of the team. He kept the number of scouting ants at around 30 and ordered them to spread out in the fan-shaped area ahead. They moved as he moved and monitored the movements of the entire area. At this time, the detection range of the iron slag was equivalent to a whole group of scouts who kept communicating at all times. Furthermore, these scouts were loyal, not only did they not fear death, they also did not need a pension.
Originally, Tie Zha had always felt that this insect transformation skill was useless. Apart from bullying girls, he felt that it was like a chicken rib. Now, the more he used it, the easier it became. He could detect, attack, and hatch endlessly. There were twenty or thirty saliva in a single mouthful.
Ever since absorbing Cozan’s legendary ability, [Flying Bug Life], [Lurking Parasite] has been fully enhanced. First, the original adult worm could only survive for a few minutes, but now it could survive for 20 to 60 minutes. Secondly, the adults from before were only the size of rice grains, but now they were the size of palms as soon as they hatched. If they ate again, they could grow to a length of thirty centimeters, and they would have a certain degree of aggressiveness. Especially when there were a large number of them, the dense, tide-like scene would definitely make his enemy’s scalp numb and tremble endlessly. Until today, he still clearly remembered Mu Yuqinxin’s expression when she first saw the scouting ant. The frightened and trembling figure that had lost its color was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he felt extremely happy when he thought of it.
In his thoughts, he suddenly missed this girl who liked to call him “brother ~”. Her youth was beautiful, her vitality was vigorous, her refreshment and happiness, her helplessness and sighs appeared in front of her. It made people want to hug her in their arms and bully her to their heart’s content.
There was a kind of girl in the world. They were like lazy kittens, taking a nap in the afternoon sun and occasionally letting out lazy cries. They were so cute that they almost exploded, making people want to commit crimes. Bag/raise her, imprison her, rape her, trick her into crying, make her laugh, yet give her the whole world. However, apart from being cute and rolling around, she would also stretch out her sharp claws at any time and ruthlessly scratch her chest, causing blood to drip from her grasp. Mu Yuqin’s heart belonged to this type of girl. When she was cute, she bloomed like a flower, causing the entire world to boil with lava-like enthusiasm. However, when she attacked, she was cold-blooded and merciless, unable to see the slightest bit of pity. Perhaps, it was precisely because of this stimulating feeling that people were addicted to it, unable to extricate themselves from it.
At this moment, a scouting soldier ant crawled past a patch of fern vegetation. Suddenly, a sharp sound of air-piercing came from above. It instinctively sensed danger and flew into its possession. The six long and pointed limbs rose and fell alternately as they quickly climbed forward. But it was already too late …
“Ceng!” A cold light flashed and a small sickle descended from above, nailing the palm-sized scouting ant to the ground. The soldier ant let out a dying squeak. In the next second, it was hooked up by a sickle and stuffed into a mouth filled with sharp teeth.
A prone thorn insect straightened its snake-shaped body and chewed on the dessert it had just discovered. At the same time, a trace of pain came to Tie Zha’s mind. He immediately stopped and thought to himself. Another soldier ant crawled towards the location where his companion had disappeared.
A moment later, three thorns lying on the ground in the fern vegetation entered Tie Zha’s field of vision. The latter raised his telescope and looked at the three red spots in the forest. As the target was locked, a set of slightly jumping data appeared on the lens. Apart from the angle and distance, there were also coordinates. This is the coverage area of the satellite signal. Military red telescopes have the function of coordinates positioning.
After repeated measurements, Tie Zha picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the coordinates to Mu Qianhe. Thirty seconds later, a deep, hoarse female voice sounded on the walkie-talkie.
“Artillery ready.”
“Let go!” Tie Zha shouted at the communicator, and a deep and long rumble came from behind.
“Bang!”
A yellow orange cannonball landed a few meters away from the target with a sharp whistling sound.
“Boom!” With a loud explosion, flames exploded in the jungle ahead.
“Beautiful.” Tie Zha picked up the walkie-talkie and praised sincerely. Then, he went to the bombardment site and gathered the Scarlet Snake’s tail bone.
“Guild Leader, are you saying that Qianhe is beautiful?” “Focus.” “Yes, my Guild Leader.”
“Both men and artillery are beautiful.” Tie Zha sighed and added.
Mu Qianhe’s cheerful cry came from the walkie-talkie.
For the next few days, the weather was very good, and the team moved forward quickly under Tie Zha’s leadership. At noon on the fifth day, wang Hu’s deep voice came from the walkie-talkie, “Guild Leader, we are about to enter the artillery coverage area of another academy team. Would you like to request them to meet up?”
Iron Dregs opened the communicator and pulled out the satellite tactical map. He clicked the green cursor at 52 km ahead. The cursor flickered slightly, revealing the name and basic information of the guild.
[Name: Battle Beast Legion] [College: CSUM] [Team Configuration: Tier 3 Psionic Adepts*1, Thunderflame Style*6, Marines*29, Transportation Personnel *50]
Tie Zha cursed inwardly. It was really a narrow path for enemies to meet so quickly. He then replied, “Keep your distance and don’t contact me.” Although he decided not to contact the other party, the other party quickly sent a communication request. He frowned and connected to the video communication.
“Hello, Guild Leader Sa Jia Qi, this is Guild Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion Legion
“Yes.” Tie Zha answered casually. He was very disgusted with this Silver City noble, but he was still a friendly army, so he couldn’t afford to lose any face.
“Great, we’ve also received orders to garrison. How about we head to the defense line together? We’re all classmates of CSUM, so we can help each other on the way.” Alan’s voice carried a hint of fawning. Tie Zha frowned and thought for a moment, then secretly thought of a reason to reject the other party. Seemingly aware of his hesitation, Alan continued, “Commander Sa Cha Cha, to borrow a phrase from your Far East, last time I was’blind to Mount Tai and old to the ground ‘. Please forgive me if I was rude. I hope that you will not forget my mistakes. After all, we are classmates of the CSUM. We should take care of each other and support each other in this dangerous forest, shouldn’t we?”
Looking at Alan’s fawning appearance in the video, Tie Zha grinned and said, “We are stationed in different locations. In order to avoid the chaos on the march, we should keep a distance of 2km. How about it?”
“Alright! Thank you for your trust, Commander Sa Jia Qi.” Alan laughed and said.
After turning off the communicator, Tie Zha’s brows furrowed even deeper. Alan’s attitude was somewhat abnormal. Even if he knew that he had a Star Stone Black/Card, he would not curry favor with him. After all, Allen was a Silver City noble, possessing the most powerful status in the world. No matter how rich he was, he was still a commoner from the Far East, so there was no need for him to curry favor with him.
The reason why he had agreed to Allen’s invitation earlier was because the other party possessed six Thunder Flame Styles, while he only had two. The cannon had a range of 35 to 50 km, and if the two sides fought, he would have no advantage in firepower. On the contrary, the closer the two sides got, the more advantageous it would be for him. His Psionic Warrior Rifle and Tiger Mech were both kings of mid-range battles.
