Chapter 2876: Transport Team

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Teacher Benny?

Collete’s mind stirred, and his expression grew more serious.

It made sense now. If Benny had recommended him, there must be some ability behind it.

Soon, everyone saw the war machines break open the tunnel, and the materials were transported into the tunnel entrance. Afterward, they quickly emerged from the tunnel and began transporting the remaining materials back to the ship.

The soldiers exchanged glances.

Huh? Was that it?

Although the materials were transported into the tunnel, what next? How was he planning to get all those boxes from the tunnel to the frontlines in Area C?

At this moment, Fang Heng stood inside the tunnel, watching the countdown of the game prompt.

3, 2, ...

1!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

The resurrection time of the zombie clones had arrived!

A dense array of magic circles hovered around Fang Heng, and waves of Lickers emerged from the magic array, quickly filling the entire underground cavern.

The first batch of 5,000 zombie clones had arrived on the battlefield!

One wave after another, no rush.

Fang Heng raised his hand and pointed toward the depths of the tunnel.

"Go!"

The Licker horde immediately surged forward, rapidly digging and expanding the underground passage toward Area C.

Next, it was time for the transport.

Fang Heng glanced at the piles of material boxes stacked at the tunnel entrance.

The material boxes were large and heavy.

Ordinary transport machines couldn’t carry too much at once, so the Federation was under significant transportation pressure.

But ground transportation had no such issue.

The bottom of the material boxes had foldable unlockable pulleys, making dragging and pushing very convenient.

Under Fang Heng’s control, hundreds of Lickers quickly transformed into vine zombies, then proceeded to latch onto the boxes with their vines, binding them tightly.

The vine zombies locked the boxes securely before extending new vines that connected to the Lickers in front.

The Lickers, entangled in vines, acted as the driving force, pulling the vine zombies and pulley-bound boxes along the underground passage toward the front!

The material boxes were heavy.

But the Lickers had high strength!

Two Lickers could easily pull one box!

Done.

Fang Heng looked at his completed transport system in a good mood and snapped his fingers.

It had taken over half an hour.

Soon, the last batch of boxes was transported into the underground. Fang Heng began directing the Lickers to reseal the tunnel entrance.

The transport drones also entered the last twenty empty boxes, entering standby energy-saving mode.

Fang Heng personally closed the lids of the boxes.

The vine zombies quickly climbed onto the boxes, transforming them into zombie transport vehicles.

Fang Heng glanced at the underground passage’s excavation, nodding silently.

The underground tunnel to Area C was already about three-quarters dug.

Good, there was still plenty of time.

Let’s go!

On the surface, far from the ship’s deck, the Federation soldiers watched as the light transport machines completed the transportation of all the materials to Area C, then followed into the hole and disappeared, exchanging looks.

Was that it?

It felt almost unreal.

Collete stared at the spot where the tunnel entrance had disappeared, deep in thought.

Something about it didn’t sit right.

It felt like Fang Heng was a bandit, hauling the materials away.

But since Benny had recommended him, there shouldn’t be a big issue.

Looking up, Collete saw the soldiers who had gathered nearby speaking quietly, and he scolded them in a low voice, "Alright, stop staring. The third batch of transportation plans has been completed. Are you all so idle? Get to work!"

"Yes!"

...

Area C.

Boyd led his team into the designated location in Area C, using remote firepower to suppress the insect swarm along the edge.

After some time in battle, the Federation teams had developed detailed combat plans.

It was roughly divided into three phases.

The first phase involved pulling and depleting the insect swarm.

The second phase was a sustained push, advancing deeper into the insect nest.

The third phase gathered firepower to attack the insect queen, completely eliminating the nest and occupying the area.

They were still in the first phase.

It was also the most time-consuming and energy-draining phase.

After the Rock Armored Gun Worms’ formation was fully set up, the federal team rarely chose to risk a direct assault. Instead, they used long-range beam weapons to lock on and carry out precision strikes from beyond the worms’ firing range.

The high-tier weapons provided by the spawns ensured strong and precise long-range output.

Theoretically, they could stay outside the insect swarm’s attack range and rely on their range advantage to drag the fight out.

But the downside was the need for time to position and the high energy consumption of the weapons.

Additionally, the Rock Armored Gun Worms would continuously adjust their formation, either moving forward or backward, requiring the Federation soldiers to keep moving with them, slowly wearing down the swarm.

In theory, if the dragging was done well, players could do so without taking damage.

But in reality, it wasn’t such an easy game. Even if players stayed outside the Rock Armored Gun Worms’ range, the swarm would still launch long-range artillery attacks.

The hit rate was low, and more than 98% of the attacks missed.

But the number of bugs and the number of artillery shots were too much.

Under the barrage of concentrated energy fire, some unlucky soldiers would inevitably get hit.

The high-tier tactical suits provided by the spawns could absorb the damage of two artillery hits, and the potions the players used could make them immune to one fatal damage.

That meant three lives.

Unless someone was incredibly unlucky and got hit four times in a row, casualties were unlikely during this first phase.

As long as the players could keep their tactical suits’ energy shields topped up.

After over half an hour, the Federation team’s energy reserves and ammunition were running low.

"Captain! Energy is already down to 90%."

Boyd glanced at the time and nodded, "Switch to backup energy for combat. Our supplies will arrive soon."

"Understood!"

The soldiers switched to backup ammunition and continued entangling the insect swarm. Suddenly, someone noticed a disturbance behind them.

What was going on?

They looked back, and with a slight tremor in the ground, large cracks began appearing.

"Watch out! Behind!"

The soldiers quickly retreated a short distance, aiming their guns at the broken rock and soil behind them.

What the hell?

Was it a new mutant worm creature?

The soldiers nervously tightened their grips on their weapons, sweat forming on their foreheads.

Hmm? What was that?

They saw the ground cracking wider, and soon, a wooden crate appeared from the ground, rising from the hole.

What? A transport robot!?

The Federation soldiers recognized the transport machines.

The logistics had arrived?

Phew...

It was just a false alarm.

The soldiers looked at each other, then sighed in relief and lowered their guns.

The transport robots continued to bring materials to the back of the team, then returned to the tunnel to carry more.

One by one, the transport machines began delivering materials through the underground passage, reaching the back of the team.
