Chapter 017
The targets Wu Zimo chose this time were different from the previous ones, not only in quantity but also in the environment. It was a forest before, but now it is a rocky area.
Six mechas were lying in ambush on the periphery, watching the three hairy spiders gnawing at the rocks in the rocky area. Not to mention Wu Zimo, even Sarah and the others had tense expressions.
Among the data Wu Zimo collected about the dimensional Zerg, there were records that some dimensional Zerg's mouthparts could even tear apart the super alloy shells of mechas and battleships.
"Their teeth are really good." Wu Zimo rarely said something to lighten the atmosphere.
This is indeed the case. If you have bad teeth, how can you see the hairy spider chewing rocks like biscuits, so crunchy?
"I think everyone should be familiar with the weakness of this hairy spider from the previous battle. Now it's two against one, everyone should be fine, right?"
"Don't even mention two against one, one against one is no problem!" Needless to say, the first person to respond to Wu Zimo was Hanny. Even if the others didn't say anything, you could tell from their expressions that there was no fear, only excitement for the upcoming battle.
"Okay, I won't say much. I'll leave it to Sarah to take charge of the next step." Wu Zimo smiled slightly and nodded to Bit beside him.
Let's leave the fighting to the professionals.
The six young sentinels were a bit flustered when facing the hairy spider insects for the first time, but after a round of battle, their originally careless mood has calmed down. Through the display screen, Wu Zimo looked at the calm and cautious expressions on his companions' faces, and a hint of satisfaction flashed across his eyes.
Six versus three, there was no need to worry in this battle, as none of the six summoned their own quantum beasts. After understanding the actual purpose of this academic year assessment proposed by Marshal Alman, they began to hone their mecha close combat capabilities.
Not only Wu Zimo was satisfied with the changes in Sarah and others, but even Dali and others who had been monitoring them in the universe were also very satisfied.
"As expected, you are the one chosen by the Marshal."
The rapid growth and changes in Wu Zimo's team are in contrast to the chaos and noise in other teams. Xiaoba and others didn't know whether to be happy or shake their heads and sigh.
"Not all students at the First Military Academy are idiots." The only female sentry in Dali's team glanced at the teams she was monitoring and spoke up to defend them.
After hearing what Caryl said, the others also called up the footage that Caryl was monitoring and looked at the responses of the three team members on the screen. They all showed satisfied expressions.
"These three teams must be fourth-year students from the First Military Academy, right?" Old Yu quickly looked up the identity information of the three teams. Seeing that they had been ranked among the top three in age, he nodded in understanding.
"Oh?" Lao Yu's words made the members of Dali Team interested in these three teams.
"Oh, he even interned under the demon king Bokar. No wonder he's so powerful."
The Federation now has a total of three legions. Dali and his men are the Legion of Condemnation, which is loyal to Commander-in-Chief Marshal Alman. It is also the most powerful legion among the three legions and has been fighting on the front line.
The second-best legion in terms of overall strength is the Biya Legion where Bokar, whom Dali mentioned, belongs.
If the Scourge Legion is a sharp blade ready to pierce the enemy's heart at any time, then the Biya Legion is a hunter wandering in the darkness, ready to take the enemy's life silently at any time.
As for the last legion, it is the garrison legion. Its mission is not on the battlefield but is more focused on protecting the security of various planets under the jurisdiction of the Federation.
Because of the nature of the Scourge Legion and the Biya Legion, they cooperated with each other when dealing with the dimensional Zerg, so the soldiers of the two legions were relatively familiar with each other's strength, personality, and behavior.
As for Bokar, who is called the Demon King by the vanguards like Dali, one can imagine his ability.
Everyone in the monitoring room thought of Bokar's perversion, and when they looked at the three teams on the monitor again, there was a hint of pity in their eyes. How could these children have such bad luck to fall into the hands of that perverted devil.
But as the old saying goes, more sweat in training, less blood in battle.
The performance of these three teams when facing the hairy spiders was nothing like the first time. They advanced and retreated in an orderly manner and the team members cooperated closely. Dali thought about it, turned on the light computer in his hand, recorded the situation of the three teams and sent it to Rocard.
Not only these three teams of outstanding students, but also any team with noteworthy expressions seen in the surveillance video would be recorded by Dali and sent to Rocard.
The camera returns to Wu Zimo and the others. With their first experience fighting the enemy, and everyone intending to hone their combat abilities, although it took longer to annihilate those hairy spiders, the six people gained a lot.
The three hairy spiders finally fell down, and everyone in the mecha cockpit first breathed a sigh of relief, and then cheered.
Even though they had annihilated five hairy spiders before, the sense of pride was different compared to now when they were actually relying on their own abilities to annihilate the enemy.
"Haha, everyone performed well." Wu Zimo patted Pabit's shoulder, and a smile appeared on the face of this silent man.
"It's getting late. I think the environment here is okay. Let's rest here tonight."
Everyone agreed with Wu Zimo's proposal, and everyone's tasks were quickly assigned.
Zhang Ye and Buffell went to scout the surroundings. This was said to be a rocky area with various plants still living there. As for whether they could be eaten, Wu Zimo decided to leave the question to experts to study.
Lanny and Bit continued to be in charge of vigilance. Although the surveillance map did not show any danger here, they needed to arrange people to keep watch at night just in case. The arrangement of the night watchmen was simple, with six sentinels, two in a group, and three groups taking turns.
It is not a problem for the sentinels to stay awake for one or two nights. As for Wu Zimo, Lyle and Liz, they are ordinary people. Sarah and others would never let them stand guard.
Sarah, Lyle, Liz and Hanny were responsible for setting up the tent for tonight's rest and preparing various supplies.
The interstellar age is full of conveniences. This kind of outdoor military tent is initially a brick-like thing that is less than half a meter square. When you put it on the ground and press the switch, it automatically turns into a square tent that is two meters high and three meters wide, which is windproof, rainproof and warm.
Everyone had a task. Although Wu Zimo seemed to have no work to do, he was not idle either. He walked slowly to the three hairy spiders lying on the ground.
Fortunately, he is not one of those who is afraid of insects, otherwise he would definitely scream when looking at the enlarged spider in front of him. Not to mention that the three hairy spiders in front of Wu Zimo were more than twice as big as the first time they saw them.
Even lying on the ground, the three hairy spiders in front of them were almost two meters tall. Apart from the dense hair, there were scars left by Sarah and others on their bodies.
"Wu Zimo, what are you doing?" Liz and the others quickly set up the tent. From a distance, they saw Wu Zimo walking towards the hairy spider's corpse, and asked loudly out of curiosity.
"It's okay, I just want to take a look." Wu Zimo waved to Liz without turning his head.
"Oh, then you should be careful. Although the hairy spider doesn't seem to be poisonous this time, you should not touch it." Liz thought that Wu Zimo was so curious because he had never seen a hairy spider before. She didn't stop him but also didn't forget to tell him to be careful.
"I see."
Wu Zimo walked up to the hairy spider's corpse, looked at it first, then kicked it with his foot. The skin was indeed very hard and his feet felt a little numb.
Then he turned to the place where the wound was and leaned over to take a look at it. The blood of the hairy spider was not red, but bluish-gray. Fortunately, there was no other strange smell, otherwise Wu Zimo would definitely be nauseated.
Wu Zimo picked up a wooden stick he found somewhere and poked it into the wound of the hairy spider. What was revealed was still grayish-blue minced meat that looked like rotten meat.
"Wu Zimo, what are you doing?" Wu Zimo, who was originally concentrating on studying the hairy spider meat, was almost frightened by the sudden voice in his ear.
He rolled his eyes and dropped the stick in his hand, "How come there was no sound when you came over here?"
It was Hanni who was curious and whispered to Wu Zimo. After hearing what Wu Zimo said, Hanni replied strangely, "Isn't it normal to walk without making any sound?"
Well, he didn't understand the world of sentinels, but Hanni still hadn't forgotten his curiosity. "Wu Zimo, why are you poking the hairy spider like this? It's so disgusting."
It was a pile of rotten meat, and it was blue-gray rotten meat. Like Wu Zimo, he was glad that the meat did not have a strange smell. Otherwise, would he still be able to have dinner tonight?
"No, I just wanted to see if these hairy spiders are edible." Wu Zimo shrugged and said without any embarrassment.
“…”
Wu Zimo's words not only petrified Hanni who was standing opposite him, but also Sarah and other sentinels who heard Wu Zimo's words from a distance because of their developed five senses. They all had disgusted expressions on their faces as if they had seen a "beep..."
Not to mention the few little sentinels who were frightened by Wu Zimo, even Dali and others who were curious about what Wu Zimo was doing through monitoring flying insects in the universe had the same expressions as Sarah and others.
"...No, you are indeed someone who has the guts to tease the Marshal. You are very good and powerful!"
Dali silently opened the light computer again and sent Wu Zimo's performance to Rocard.
"Wu Zimo! Although the hairy spiders don't have toxins, they do contain substances that are harmful to the human body, so - you can't! eat them!"
Hanny yelled at Wu Zimo and pulled him away from the hairy spider quickly, fearing that the child would eat the disgusting hairy spider if he wasn't paying attention.
The other people reacted in the same way, especially Zhang Ye and Buffel, who were in charge of preparing the food. They moved much faster and quickly prepared dinner. They were the first to serve it to Wu Zimo.
"You must be hungry, eat this!"
Wu Zimo, who was misunderstood by his friends, shrugged and did not explain. Does he have to explain to his friends that he said that because he read in a novel that Zerg and other things are edible? In the end, such a big misunderstanding occurred. You really can't blame him.
Wu Zimo took the lunch box and ate the delicious dinner while muttering, "If the Zerg can be eaten, wouldn't it be more exciting to kill them?"
For foodies, the transition from something being an invasive species to one that must be farmed for survival is really not difficult.
“…”
Wu Zimo! Could you please stop saying such disgusting things! Can people still eat well?
