Bionic Man

Ye Miaomiao is a person with plans. She always likes to prepare for a rainy day, which can be seen from the huge amount of goods she has stockpiled.

However, accidents always happen before plans are made. During the meeting, everyone had just briefly discussed matters like cleaning up radiation, mining for energy stones, expanding the military, and developing technology. Before they could discuss the specific implementation, a team member urgently sent a message:

A small fleet evaded the hungry patrols, landed on the ground, and encountered people from a certain territory!

.

On the surface of this planet.

Five or six people wearing protective clothing were divided into two groups to check the surrounding situation.

Publishing the data was one thing; seeing it come to life was quite another. The situation on the ground was clearly even worse than what was written on paper. Half of their houses had vanished, leaving only a few rebars dug out of the ground. The other half, fortunately protected by the sacrifice of the preceding buildings, had also collapsed, leaving only a few buildings precariously crumbling and clearly dangerous.

This is true for reinforced concrete structures, not to mention the rest.

Amidst the desolate ruins, the sky was low and gray, the clouds emitting a strange metallic hue, as if due to the severe water pollution. There was no sign of any animal; those that had barely managed to survive the polluted water perished in the explosion. The entire world was utterly silent.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, several stiff figures approached from a distance.

"Is this the neighboring territory? How did they get here? They must be exhausted after such a long journey!" a young man asked excitedly. "Could they be hungry people? Is there something they need our help with?"

"You're the only one who talks too much!" His team member yanked him to the ground, making him crawl. "Keep your voice down!" Her voice was terrifying over the team chat. "Something's wrong. Didn't Ehehe post a notice saying they were in a meeting to discuss plans? Why would they send anyone down when the plan hasn't been finalized? And with Ehehe's style, they'd definitely have told us beforehand if they were coming to look for someone."

The woman's sixth sense secretly activated when she noticed that these people were walking strangely.

She held her breath and was about to observe for a while when she saw two members of another group running towards the strange figures happily.

Team member: “…” Feeling that the person who was forced to crawl next to her was about to make a move, she glared at him fiercely.

How come people who are usually so smart are so stupid today?

She quickly requested to turn on the voice chat of that group member, and her hand had already reached into her backpack, pulling out an SSR-level shovel - this shovel was given as a gift when she signed up for the class. It was said to use energy stone technology. As long as the button on the handle was pressed, the tip of the shovel would be filled with laser arcs, which could cut through anything, including steel bars and iron plates.

"That's not the case..." Just as her team member finished speaking, they heard a strange voice coming from the voice chat.

[Humanoid life forms detected, approximately 28 within a kilometer, suspected of occupying the energy stone mine.]

[Command: Eradication. Confirmation of command: Eradication. Command received and will be executed.]

The air was completely silent. Not only were the two of them stunned, but even the crew members who were running towards the strange figure not far away slowed down for a moment. This was because they not only heard the mechanical sounds coming from the "figure", but also saw the "figure" clearly.

That's clearly not a human!

They were bionic people, their limbs clearly not original. At a glance, one could see the delicate arms of a woman and the stubby hands of a child in one. They didn't walk on their legs; the swinging of their legs existed only to mimic humans. It was like slices of human bodies blended together into a single being, and even when they uttered the word "eradicate," a smile played on their lips.

"Be careful!" The girl shouted when she saw one of the androids raised his hand.

She turned on the shovel and rushed over: "I'll shovel you to death!"

Not far away, she opened her jetpack again and rushed in front of him in an instant. Unfortunately, the jetpack was difficult to control, and her aim was off, and she hit the android's arm.

With a slight "bang", the arm fell into the dust, with a crackling sound of electricity inside.

"Oh shit! They're enemies, aliens!" The people nearby finally reacted, "Fight! Prepare to fight!"

Those who had props took them out, and those who had skills used them. If all else failed, there was a shovel. The girl's skill with the shovel just now made everyone realize the benefits of a shovel.

"Call someone first!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Call someone!"

Seeing the weak life forms on a remote planet dare to resist and even hurt them, several bionic people were furious and shouted sharply: "Eradicate! Eradicate!"

"See if I want to shovel you!" the girl shouted, raised the shovel again, and broke its other arm.

Several people fought with the bionic man, and it immediately turned into a melee.

Not long after, the rest of the team quickly arrived and joined the battle. A few minutes later, the companions who stayed in the basement also rushed to the scene.

The androids were mechanical, but they were, after all, patrols, not particularly well-armed. In the fierce, relentless battle, like Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, some members were wounded, but several of the androids were eventually subdued. They had hoped to keep one alive to investigate, but these creatures were covered in weapons, and a single careless move could easily lead to a fatal accident. Therefore, everyone worked together to destroy them all.

"Experience gained." Someone was surprised.

"Something exploded." said another.

There was a pile of materials on the ground, even a small blueprint. Picking it up, he discovered the method for making a "bionic arm." The man happily showed it to those around him. While he was very pleased with his arm and didn't want to replace it just yet, wouldn't it be nice to have an arm like a treasure bag?

"This is..." someone muttered, "a reward for killing monsters."

He suddenly realized: "It has begun."

"The ultimate mission has begun."

.

In the conference room, everyone waited anxiously for news from the ground. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they learned the android had been subdued and no one was injured.

"They must have slipped through during patrols," Mingyi grumbled. These aliens came to our planet to mine energy stones. If they took them, wouldn't the planet's size decrease? If they dug up even one more stone, she'd be so furious she couldn't sleep at night.

"We have limited manpower and the planet is huge, so we can't provide an airtight defense. We still have to think of a way."

"Build a watchtower," Knox said. "It's the oldest but most effective method."

Scott pulled out his sandbox. "Build a network of sentry towers, ensuring that no two are within a distance that's slightly smaller than the combined range of their respective communication and patrol ranges. This ensures both coverage and rapid support in times of crisis. Based on our technological advancements, we currently need six sentry towers—one at each North Pole, and four vertically spaced points along the equator."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Miaomiao, but was surprised to see that she was in a daze. The others followed his gaze and were also stunned.

"Boss!" Mingyi raised his voice and shouted.

"Oh, building a sentry tower is great, I have no objection. I was just thinking about something else..." Ye Miaomiao came back to her senses and saw everyone looking at her. She rubbed her forehead and before Mingyi could recognize her and ask, she said, "I was thinking, that bionic man revealed a lot of things."

Everyone: “…” Isn’t it!

The military felt the same way, diligently killing a nest of rockworms and a nest of locusts, with no reward at all. Yet, this android only killed a few, and yet so many things dropped.

"Didn't you get anything dropped when you killed the patrol earlier?"

Several people nodded in unison.

"So it seems like it was revealed after the final mission was announced. Are the patrol team we captured earlier still here?"

When Ye Miaomiao just finished speaking, several people were stunned for a moment, until Fang Yan turned his head and whispered to a team member for a moment, he suddenly realized and ran out of the meeting room. A moment later, he ran back with excitement -

"Boss, we just finished it off, and the patrol team got their reward!"

Looking at it this way...everyone looked at each other in confusion. Did they suddenly find a way to get rich?

Ye Miaomiao stood up, looking thoughtful. "This is our ultimate mission. I've decided to use all my stockpiled supplies to complete it, but it's still not enough. Building sentry towers, producing weapons, training soldiers, and developing technology all require resources. We must gather as much supplies as possible to avoid being stretched when the time comes."

"Originally, when the game customer service told me that war was bound to come and that it would be useless to eliminate the surrounding forces that had noticed us, I had already decided not to care about them. But now it's different."

Ye Miaomiao's eyes sparkled brightly. Like a child who had discovered a new toy, she couldn't wait to say, "They can explode so many things. Can we let them go? We need them to replenish our nutrition!"

Here it comes, here it comes again. Everyone is a little numb, but it seems as if they have returned to a familiar scene not long ago.

It was obvious that they were the ones facing the disaster, so why did Ye Miaomiao make it seem like a gift delivered to their door? Her appearance made everyone feel confused. Was it them or them who were the disaster?

Everyone could even predict what would happen next.

"No!" Mingyi stood up suddenly and shouted. Someone whispered after her, "I request that I lead the team! We must not miss those gold mountains and collect resources for our mission!"

"Okay!" Ye Miaomiao patted her shoulder, "You are worthy of being the commander of our Hungry Hungry Second Army! Let's plan and get ready to go!"

Everyone: “…” Maybe they have antibodies, they can still talk and laugh this time.

But in a sense, they were still able to smile in the face of the final battle. It was obviously Ye Miaomiao's attitude and Mingyi's encouragement that gave them courage.

Although this courage is a bit strange.
