After yesterday's battle, Zhang Fan understood at least one thing:

Directly introducing the cockroaches into their nests to kill them was ineffective.

If the opponent has two or more six-star father cockroaches, it's impossible to win.

But there were still gains; at least we learned the location of the queen cockroach.

Once you kill this insect 200 meters underground, the number of other insects will decrease as you kill them, and there will eventually be a chance to wipe them all out.

One person alone cannot eliminate the insects; human intervention is necessary.

The power of human technology.

Zhang Fan drove the "Giant Beetle" away from the vicinity of the "Bird's Nest" and headed to his next destination.

Mount Olympus in the distance still looks as majestic as ever, while the Gale Crater below it is filled with lava. This was once the site of the Mir Station Mars base, which is now submerged in lava.

In the center of Gale Crater is a huge bulge, which is Mount Sharp.

At this moment, Mount Sharp is like an island in the ocean, and the lava has not yet submerged it.

Zhang Fan drove the "Giant Beetle" through the hardened lava rocks and up to the mountainside of Sharp Mountain.

Zhang Fan opened the map and confirmed once again that the place ahead was where the "treasure" was buried.

The "giant beetle" drill began to drill through the mountain in front of it.

Click click click—

After drilling a few meters, metallic sparks appeared at the drill bit, indicating that it had reached a metal layer.

That means the position is correct.

A few minutes later, the drill bit suddenly accelerated, and the instruments in the cab showed that the drill bit was spinning freely, indicating that the hole had been drilled through.

Zhang Fan poured out the "giant beetle," and then, wearing a spacesuit, left the cockpit, passed through the hole left by the drill, and entered the space inside the mountain.

This is a naturally formed cave in Sharp Mountain. The entrance has been covered up, turning it into a closed, warehouse-like place.

Zhang Fan turned on the spotlight on his spacesuit helmet and walked to a row of boxes inside the cave.

The box was marked with a radioactive hazard symbol.

Zhang Fan patted the box, as if he were seeing an old friend:

"Hello, Sun God."

The cores of 100 Helios heavy nuclear fusion interplanetary cruise missiles lie quietly on the belly of Mount Sharp, next to the Mir Station Mars base.

Zhang Fan doesn't need that many; one is enough.

The radiation shielding box containing the "Helios" missile core was hoisted onto the "Giant Beetle" by Zhang Fan using a crane.

...

The next step is simple: just place the "Sun God" 200 meters underground.

The method is very simple: use the "giant beetle's" drill to drill a hole in the ground, and throw the "Sun God" in.

The problem is how to prevent insects from interfering with the process.

The burrowing noise was so loud that even during the day, it was impossible for it not to attract the attention of insects.

The idea of ​​planting a nuclear bomb inside the nest is also unrealistic. To ensure its lethality, the nuclear bomb must be planted near the egg chamber, but those six-star male cockroaches would not allow him to enter the egg chamber smoothly.

Zhang Fan put on the mecha and opened the cargo compartment at the back.

Hello, pangolin.

This is the same type of deep-sea submersible used on the Martian south polar ice cap. The only difference is that the forward-firing engine has been replaced with a titanium alloy drill bit.

Zhang Fan opened the abdominal cavity of the "pangolin" and installed the "Sun God" bullet core into the "pangolin's" body.

"Hey bro, all ready?" Zhang Fan stood on the roof of the "Giant Beetle," looking at Bob beside him. "We're going to pull off a big one!"

"Roar!"

"Xiao Feng, let's go! Back to the 'Bird's Nest'!"

"receive. "

In defensive mode, the "giant beetle" slowly drove towards the original location of the "bird's nest".

Bang!

A high-explosive shell blew up a cockroach in the way.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A 30mm high-explosive shell is so powerful that no insect other than a five-star or higher male cockroach can withstand a single shot.

rustling sound—

More and more insects crawled out of the surrounding caves and toward the location of the "giant beetle," their chelicerae slamming against the vehicle body, making clanging sounds.

The "giant beetle" is covered with titanium alloy armor, making it impossible for insects to bite through.

Click click click—

The drill bit in front of the "giant beetle" spun rapidly, and the shovel blade was lowered to lie close to the ground.

Clap clap clap!

Insects blocking the way were either crushed by the shovel or shredded by the drill.

The giant beetle slowly advanced, leaving behind a trail of insect corpses.

The original foundation of the "Bird's Nest" is now visible ahead, and the surrounding insects are becoming increasingly dense.

"Come on, it's time to mow the lawn again!"

Zhang Fan put down the heavy sniper rifle and picked up the Gatling gun from the side.

Da da da da!

This is the last box of bullets. At a rate of 6,000 rounds per minute, this isn't shooting; it's plowing the land.

They plowed a path through the insects to the "nest".

Click.

There was a sound of a track breaking below.

Click, click, click!

Even though the "giant beetle" is made of steel, it couldn't withstand the insects' prolonged biting. Moreover, some of the insects secreted a strange liquid from their mouths, which dripped onto the car body and made a "sizzling" sound.

The body of the "giant beetle" is slowly corroding.

It's to be expected that insects, which can eat up "bird nests," would naturally have digestive juices in their bodies to digest metals.

"Brother, let's go." Zhang Fan threw away the Gatling gun, which was out of bullets, drew his molten twin swords, jumped off the vehicle, and slashed down a few insects beside the car.

The robotic arm of the "giant beetle" has lifted the "pangolin," and the drill in front of the "pangolin" has been activated.

Dust billowed from the ground as the "pangolin" had gone underground. Standing on the surface, one could clearly feel the vibrations of the titanium alloy drill bit passing through the rock.

Squeak squeak squeak—

A sharp cry came from afar, and two six-star cockroaches emerged from the cave.

"Roar!"

Bob jumped off the roof of the car, grabbed two bugs from the ground, and threw them into the distance.

Swish!

The two insects turned into strips of meat and fell to the feet of the two six-star male cockroaches.

Squeak squeak squeak!

Click click click!

The two six-star male cockroaches brandished their scythes, touched their antennae together, and then charged at Bob from the left and right.

"Roar!" Bob also rushed straight towards the two six-star father cockroaches.

"Xiao Feng, Bob's boxing gloves!" Zhang Fan quickly gave the order.

"Ejected."

Bob leaped up and caught the glove flying from the "giant beetle" in mid-air.

Clang!

Bob blocked the two six-star cockroaches' scythes as they swung down from the front.

"Bob's Gauntlets," as the name suggests, are weapons custom-made for Bob, and the materials are derived from the six-star father cockroach that was killed.

The hardest exoskeleton on the six-star father cockroach was made into hand guards, with three scythes on the back of each hand that could be freely retracted or extended by the fingers.

Bob with boxing gloves looks exactly like "Wolverine".

Swish!

Bob's strength surpassed that of the insects, and the two six-star male cockroaches were forced to retreat repeatedly.

The two six-star male cockroaches were also stunned, looking somewhat flustered. It was probably the first time they had encountered an opponent who could suppress them solely based on their individual attributes.

Squeak squeak squeak—

The surrounding insects, upon hearing the command, tried to surround Bob.

Swish, swish, swish!

Zhang Fan stood in front, wielding his twin swords to cut down the insects that tried to get close to Bob's back.

"Don't be like that. I'm your opponent. Give me some face, okay?" Zhang Fan turned the crystal reactor to its maximum power.

Swoosh—

With his leg boosters activated, Zhang Fan flew close to the ground, leaving two fiery red parallel tracks, each a hundred meters long, on the ground where his twin swords melted. The insects on those tracks were all sliced ​​in two.

puff!

Bob's wolf claw pierced the abdomen of a six-star father cockroach, and with a twist and pull of the claw, a large chunk of the insect's internal organs was pulled out.

The insect collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Squeak squeak squeak!

The other six-star male cockroach retreated repeatedly, making sharp noises as if calling for reinforcements.

"Walk!"

Zhang Fan jumped to Bob's side, hugged him from behind, activated his leg boosters, and leaped backward back to the "giant beetle".

The "giant beetle" had been corroded and melted in many places, and there was dripping slime all around.

That's enough.

Zhang Fan led Bob through the roof of the car into the interior of the "Giant Beetle".

The pangolin has reached depths of over 200 meters.

"Xiao Feng, let's get out of here!"

Click click click—

The top armor of the "giant beetle" is lifted up, just like a beetle lifting its shell before taking flight.

The "Feather" lander appeared beneath the armor shell.

Hehehe.

Zhang Fan, sitting in the driver's seat, smiled.
