Chapter 34 The Boy Arrives

There was a suppressed gasp coming from the cave.

An ambiguous atmosphere echoed between the rock walls, and heat rose.

The man's breathing gradually quickened, and his skin was covered with sweat due to the heat.

There was no one else here, just the two of them.

Northen's hands moved very quickly, and even the bulging veins in his arms showed strength.

Ai Zhe gasped slightly, leaning back against the stone wall, his knuckles tensed.

"Are you feeling better?"

Northam asked in a low voice, his voice low and hoarse, with a heat that had not yet dissipated.

"Um……"

As Northen's hands moved, Aizhe's eyes became moist.

He nodded, his neck tilted back uncontrollably...

*

The two men, dressed neatly and dapperly, returned to the tent area along the mountain path.

"Aizhe, Noson, good news!"

"The weapon is complete and can enter the debugging phase ahead of time!"

Aizhe and Noson are both in good condition. They look much better than in the morning and are in great spirits!

The people around them looked at them and visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and the overall atmosphere became a little more relaxed.

"These two guys must have encouraged each other."

They are indeed the best comrades, two positive and rosy-cheeked young men!

Colonel Sting stood with his hands on his hips, his face gentle and smiling.

It was like seeing the best duo teammates in the world and seeing them radiate positive energy.

After returning, the weapon process was finalized.

This is a new type of jamming mobile weapon platform, which is an upgrade of the original weapon platform.

It is capable of disrupting the nerves of alien species through sound waves, and is also equipped with automatic long-range artillery launch and close-range bombing capabilities.

Designed to deal with large alien species that are fast and have strong defense.

They returned to the camp with sonic jammers and new weapons.

The camp will also continue to activate sonic interference to prevent the Zerg from approaching.

As soon as they returned, a combat meeting was held immediately.

The focus of the meeting was to plan the second exploration of the Zewo Abandoned Valley.

Five legions will be deployed in this operation.

At present, there are relatively clear reports and results from the front-line exploration.

There are a lot of key resources in the Zewo Waste Valley that have not yet been discovered by other organizations:

New plant and fruit varieties, uncontaminated groundwater, arable land...

There are also heavy weapon parts and industrial equipment left underground from early wars, as well as various recyclable precious elements.

If successfully mined and utilized, these materials will be able to further expand Zeta's resource reserves.

"I heard... the Insect King has a somewhat 'different' attitude towards Ai Zhe?"

Someone asked in a low voice during the meeting, in a tentative tone.

This sentence did not reveal the truth, and they really did not know the inside story.

The specific situation was concealed by the command center.

There was no direct publicity for the fact that Ai Zhe was humiliated by the Insect King.

Most people in the camp just thought it was some kind of "friendly exchange" or an abnormal state of "being selected".

Ai Zhe didn't say anything, just frowned and said nothing.

He didn't want to respond.

In fact, he never supported the exploration plan of the Zewo Abandoned Valley.

The Insect King, who can cover the sky with one hand, lives in the central area of ​​Zewo Abandoned Valley. It is really too powerful.

Especially after contact, it was discovered that its intelligence far exceeds that of humans, and is an organic intelligence at the level of a supercomputer core.

Entering rashly may anger it and may even lead to a larger-scale attack.

Even though there are abundant resources there, the camp wants to tentatively ask for something they can use.

But if they go deeper again after only making preliminary preparations, something will definitely go wrong.

His eyes were calm, he suppressed his anger and did not speak.

"Our weapons are also ready."

Another tactical officer took over.

"This time, in addition to deploying five legions, we've also deployed ten of the latest mobile weapon platforms. We're also carrying multiple meltdown bombs and long-range penetrating bombs capable of dissolving the ground and living things."

"They have already come to attack us. There is no need for us to retreat. This operation must continue."

"After testing and multiple actual combat scenarios, we've confirmed that the sound waves released by the new weapon platform have a clear disruptive effect on the nerves of all alien species."

"The second large-scale exploration event in the Zewo Waste Valley is coming soon. Everyone, enter the countdown."

Lorraine and Brandon stood up and made a brief announcement at the front.

Ai Zhe and Noson looked solemn.

After the meeting, Aizhe and Noson walked back to their respective rooms. The atmosphere was not as relaxed as before.

Ai Zhe hadn't seen his puppy for a long time. He held it in his arms and stroked it gently. The puppy nestled obediently in his arms.

No matter how difficult the task is, as long as he touches it, Ai Zhe can feel the real warmth of life.

With his palm resting on the onion's head, his heart gradually calmed down, and he silently gathered strength for himself: no matter how difficult the task is, he must get through it!

Suddenly, he received a new message.

It was from Colonel Sting.

"Aizhe, we suddenly received a message!"

"The refugee camp fifty kilometers away from our camp was attacked!"

"It's strange, that area has always been safe, and we just patrolled there the day before yesterday!"

"I was attacked today for no apparent reason."

"That's the camp they built after being abandoned by the roving organization."

After hearing this, Ai Zhe's expression tightened and he became obviously nervous. He knew a little about the refugee camp.

He also forwarded this mission message to Northen.

"Don't worry, we're bringing a new weapon platform this time. With it, the mission will go much more smoothly."

Ai Zhe immediately prepared to leave.

"Does Brandon agree?"

The situation happened suddenly and they had no time to rest, but the refugees were in danger now, and rescuing these unorganized refugees was more of their own choice.

Colonel Sting has always been righteous. Even if Brandon may not agree with some rescue operations, Sting will try his best to obtain some troops to help these refugees in chaos.

Ai Zhe and Noson immediately met up with the captain of another legion and prepared to drive their team to the refugee camp where the accident had occurred.

When they arrived, the scene was already in chaos after being swept by alien species.

Dozens of three-eyed ground beasts the size of wild wolves were running around in the wasteland, gnawing at the tents. Fortunately, these alien species were not very big.

Switching to the medium-frequency sound wave mode of the weapon platform, the harsh frequency began to strongly interfere with their nervous system.

The ground beasts rolled and howled in pain, struggling to escape in all directions.

After driving away some of them, the team members immediately stepped forward to kill and clear out the remaining alien species.

Ai Zhe picked up a child and fed him some emergency food.

Noson also held a child, who was comforted and placed in the car.

After settling the elderly and children, Northen came back and silently followed Aizhe to check the situation.

There were dilapidated tents and scattered daily necessities at the scene.

It is said that this group of people originally lived 500 kilometers away and belonged to a large neutral organization, neither a friendly alliance nor an enemy alliance.

But a year ago, their organization was attacked by an enemy alliance and all their resources were looted. These survivors began to wander.

On the way, they were defrauded of their only supplies by a roving organization and were eventually abandoned here.

The civilians had no choice but to huddle together to survive and chose this place to temporarily camp. It was safe here for a while, with water and food, and caves to hide in.

But today they were suddenly attacked by alien species. It seemed that the alien species had already calculated their escape route and blocked their surprise attack, which was a disaster.

"It's okay, we will do our best to help everyone! And help everyone complete the diversion and placement!"

Aizhe, Northam, another captain and Colonel Sting discussed and began to move the crowd.

Just as the refugees were being sent to the medical vehicle one by one for examination and treatment, Ai Zhe suddenly spotted a special and conspicuous figure under a tree at the edge of the crowd.

Even Ai Zhe couldn't help but take a few more glances.

It was a figure curled up under a tree, shivering slightly.

The silver-white hair was very long and loose, covering the trembling body.

Her skin was abnormally white, as if it had been soaked in snow.

Tattered clothes hung on his body, and a pair of eye-catching golden eyes looked at him timidly and pitifully.

Clearly a wounded and terrified refugee.

At this time, the other party's pitiful golden eyes hidden under the long silver-white hair were a little moist, and it was obvious that he was asking Ai Zhe for help.
