The rest camp on planet K-0218 is divided into functional areas according to a simple military base.
It is divided into four major areas, ABCD. Area A is the office area where the instructors usually work. It is where equipment such as laser cannons and energy shields are placed. It is also the most important place in the entire rest camp. Area B is the center of the rest camp, directly accounting for 60% of the entire rest camp.
It is a residential area for candidates and soldiers to rest on weekdays.
At this moment, in Area B.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz--"
Three intermediate ground beetles, about the size of an off-road vehicle, covered with thick brown scales and covered with yellow dirt debris, and with a pair of huge horns on their heads, had just emerged from the ground. The powerful movement immediately attracted two students who had just come out of the dormitory to get their things.
“Buzz buzz buzz!——”
The ground beetle, with its sturdy body, shell and eyes as big as fists, saw the two third-grade students almost immediately.
Driven by their frenzied bloodlust, three ground beetles danced their six legs like a whirlwind, buzzing towards the two students. Each stomp of these SUV-sized ground beetles was like a sledgehammer slamming down on the ground, sending mud and rocks flying everywhere and causing the ground to tremble.
The two third-year students with B-grade physiques almost immediately ran away, sending out a distress signal, prompting the others who had gathered in the center of the square to come and help.
This kind of intermediate Zerg is not an A-level orc, and there is no way to fight it without a mecha.
The ground beetle was much faster than the two of them. In just two minutes, it sprinted behind them and quickly rushed behind them. Its huge pincers with a metallic luster waved quickly and clamped towards the two men's heads fiercely!
Feeling the stench coming from behind them, the two students' faces turned pale. They rolled onto the ground and transformed into beast forms to fight the ground beetles. However, their physical fitness was only B-level after all. Even though their beast forms greatly increased their combat effectiveness, they were seriously injured in less than half a minute.
The ground beetle's huge black and brown pincers smashed down on the two men without mercy, and its six legs, as strong as steel bars, swung as if to tear the two men to pieces.
A team of five fourth-grade students who had just received a distress signal ran from the center of the square. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately transformed into beasts and rushed forward. One of them was a white tiger orc who was more than two meters tall. He immediately roared and pounced on the other side, directly blocking one of the largest ground beetles. He opened his tiger mouth, showing his fangs, and started fighting with the Zerg.
The other four also transformed into beast forms and fought with the other two ground beetles.
The gray-brown ground beetle obviously looks smaller than the white tiger, but its combat capability is extremely formidable. In fact, in terms of strength, the ground beetle is even stronger than the white tiger orc, giving off a sense of being suppressed.
Ye Wenya and the other two had just emerged from a cave not far away, and before they had gone far, they were attracted by the sounds of fighting here.
"What's that over there? Zerg?..."
Ye Wenya's brows furrowed slightly, her eyes, a pair of distinctly black and white peach blossoms, filled with confusion. She stretched out her slender, white, beautiful fingers and subconsciously pointed at the battlefield in front of her where sand and gravel were flying. "What's going on? Isn't there an energy shield in the rest camp? Why are there Zerg here?"
"That's a ground beetle with the ability to burrow into the ground..."
Pan Mu's face was grave, his eyes gleaming with a cold glint of power. He stood still, his gaze fixed on the battlefield ahead, and explained, "The energy shield at this camp is only capable of protecting the Zerg flying in the air and the ordinary land-based Zerg in front of the camp. Zergs with burrowing abilities, like the Ground Beetle, require special energy shields to defend against... Those special energy shields are expensive and difficult to produce. Typically, only the troops on the front lines engaging the Zerg head-on are equipped with such high-end shields."
"I see." Ye Wenya frowned and nodded in understanding.
Although she inherited the original owner's memories, there were many things that even the original owner didn't know. As an outsider who had just arrived in the interstellar space, she naturally didn't know the specific situation.
On the other hand, Pan Mu and Bai Xia did not have much doubts about Ye Wenya's inquiries. Instead, they thought it was normal. Otherwise, why would Ye Wenya, who was so good at pharmacy, have a reputation in school for being unlearned, a complete idiot, and only knowing how to eat, drink and have fun?
That must be because she only knows how to study and make potions on weekdays, and is a mess in other subjects. This is why everyone's impression of her is that she is a foolish beauty, big-breasted and brainless.
As for his original arrogance and contempt for others, Pan Mu and Bai Xia now interpreted it as the arrogance of a genius. Facing a group of classmates who were not even as good as rookies, and who was able to use potions to challenge a level 7 person alone, wasn't it normal for him to be a little arrogant?
Bai Xia, transformed back into human form and dressed again, stood aside and explained, "In our empire, the Zerg are basically only active in the north. Planet K-0218 is located in the south of the empire. So when this rest camp was built, the military certainly didn't consider the Zerg problem. They only thought about how to defend against the alien beasts on the planet. Although there are some alien beasts with strong burrowing abilities, they are of low level. Orcs with ordinary B-level physiques can kill them. They are completely useless."
The black cat stood at Ye Wenya's feet, shook its fluffy tail, its cold cat eyes flashed, and it moved its whiskers with satisfaction.
Although the fighting ability of these two little guys is not very strong, and is even a little inferior to that of the cadets of the same batch at the Imperial Royal Military Academy, their explanation is very detailed.
To preserve its pristine appearance, this trial planet has been minimally developed. Consequently, most of the construction materials and equipment for the camp were shipped in from other planets. Transporting construction materials across interstellar space is a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive undertaking, so the military, in an effort to save costs and reduce unnecessary expenses, naturally sought to economize wherever possible.
"Boom boom boom..."
There was a loud bang on the battlefield opposite, and the huge white tiger and the ground beetle slammed into the wall of the dormitory building next to them. The strong impact immediately caused two deep cracks, each two fingers wide, to appear on the originally intact dormitory wall!
As a simple accommodation place - a dormitory building, the building materials are naturally just some raw cut stones from the planet K-0218, plus some steel bars. It is not the super-composite materials used on other developed planets. After all, everyone does not live here for a long time, and the location of the rest camp is relatively secret. Over the years, there have been almost no alien beasts coming to cause trouble, so there is naturally no need to use overloaded materials.
However, ordinary stone, no matter how cheap it is, is still stone!
Looking at the dormitory building that had an obvious crack and had obviously become a dangerous building, Ye Wenya's expression was a bit difficult to describe.
"High-level Ant Beast Zerg can easily lift objects that are more than 400 times their own weight... Compared to Orcs, the Zerg's natural structure makes their strength far exceed their own weight by several times. In this regard, we Orcs are really far behind. If the Orcs' body size could not change with their physical level, thereby overwhelming the Zerg, I am afraid that the current battle between Orcs and Zerg would not be like this." Bai Xia sighed as he stood aside.
The black cat twitched its ears. What the short man in front of it said was indeed right. If they had not made many high-tech weapons that gave the Zerg headaches over the years, coupled with the orcs' inherent advantage in size, it would not be an easy task to suppress the Zerg in the north.
"We won, we're going to win.
We’re going to win!”
The giant white tiger fighting on the opposite side bit the ground beetle's forelimbs mercilessly, stepped on the giant beetle's hard shell with its two front paws, and pulled it upwards fiercely.
“Crash!”
The ground beetle's forelimb, which was as strong as steel, was directly torn into two by the White Tiger's tremendous strength! Dark green liquid immediately splattered and dripped from the insect's wound.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The originally flat ground was instantly covered by the dark
The green liquid corroded several large holes.
Ye Wenya was surprised watching from the side. She didn't expect that the blood of this ground beetle would have a corrosive effect. Aren't these special effects only possessed by poisonous insects?
"Zizizizi! --Buzz buzz buzz! --"
The ground beetle screamed in agony and struggled desperately, trying to throw the white tiger off its back and tear it to pieces with its powerful pincers. The white tiger was swift, making it impossible for the ground beetle to succeed. During the back-and-forth battle, the white tiger took the opportunity to bite off another of the beetle's tentacles.
After having two of its forelimbs bitten off by the tiger, the ground beetle's strength was greatly reduced, and it was quickly taken care of by the white tiger. The battle between the other two ground beetles was also coming to an end. The four orcs relied on their sudden burst of fighting power to hold back the ground beetles, and finally found their flaws and killed them with one blow.
However, these orcs were obviously injured. The most seriously injured one had a hideous scratch on his chest, with blood oozing out. This was the wound caused by the barbs on the ground beetle's forelimbs.
"Let's go... let's go over there."
Ye Wenya walked towards the battlefield. She reached into her backpack and pulled out a bottle of low-level light-based healing potion. It seemed like emerald green liquid with a little starlight was swaying in the bottle, which made people feel happy at the first sight.
Although this bottle of healing potion does not contain much, it is enough to repair the injuries of the five people on the opposite side.
“Clatter—”
The five orcs who transformed into beast form turned into human form in an instant after the battle. The female orc among the five even went into the dormitory building next door to change clothes. However, the other four orcs simply ignored the existence of Ye Wenya and put on their clothes without any shyness or embarrassment of running naked when changing forms.
Ye Wenya was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to the other side awkwardly. After these people had finished dealing with them, she walked forward and threw the low-level light healing potion in her hand to the other party.
"This is a healing potion, for you—"
The small bottle of healing potion formed a green parabola. The leading young man, whose animal form was a white tiger and whose crew cut was shaved, casually reached out and steadily took the potion. He smiled, revealing his full white teeth. "Thanks, junior! I didn't expect you still had some healing potion on you. I thought all the potions in the camp had been collected by the instructors for safekeeping and distribution."
The young man with a crew cut glanced at the second-year badges on Ye Wenya and the other two with a sincere smile. He turned around and handed the potion to the most seriously injured companion.
"Hmm? What healing potion?"
A girl with long black hair who had just changed her clothes came over. Her sharp eyes instantly fixed on Ye Wenya and the other two. Especially when she saw Ye Wenya's face, which was as beautiful as a rose, the long-haired girl said in a dissatisfied tone, "What's wrong with you three? We haven't seen you for such a long time in the square... Everyone is out fighting and helping, handling various matters within their ability, but you were hiding in the dormitory and sleeping?"
It took only five hours from the time the instructor sent the message for all students to return to the camp for emergency shelter. At that time, there were not many students in the camp, with a total of less than 300 people. The girl with long hair could swear that she had never seen these three people before!
It must be these three junior students, hiding somewhere and slacking off!
Thinking about how her group was working tirelessly fighting the Zerg while the other side was sleeping soundly in the warm and comfortable bed, the long-haired girl's eyes became even colder.
