96: Section 96
Soon, they reached The Surface.
Jing Yuan's Mental Power scanned a group of Phage Beasts on The Surface.
This landing spot was simply incredible!
The deceleration engines spewed massive flames, directly charring the Phage Beasts on the ground.
The armored vehicle advanced, treading over the corpses of the Phage Beasts.
Landing safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
It had to be said, this was the Wasteland Hunters' most courageous moment.
However, the more courageous they were before, the more miserable they would be later.
"Jing Yuan, switch to Channel 4!"
Jing Yuan was stunned, only to hear Snow Peak say on the channel: "Mark, Charles has already made his move regarding this matter. What do you plan to do when you get back?"
"First, save the City Lord," Mark said. "Thanks to Jing Yuan, the City Lord now knows about Charles's conspiracy and won't just stand by."
"Do you think he'll care? After all, Charles is his son."
"That's true!"
At this time, Jing Yuan said: "I suggest that Mark immediately succeed as City Lord upon returning. Control Charles and the others, and announce to the public that the City Lord has fallen ill and cannot handle official business, leaving everything to Mark as the acting City Lord. Once the City Lord recovers, hold a handover ceremony!"
"I think that's feasible. Delay leads to complications!" Snow Peak and the others also expressed their agreement.
Mark, however, said: "No! We must have the City Lord personally abolish the three great laws. That way, it will be more persuasive."
Mark's ideas always managed to surprise Jing Yuan.
Right now, Mark becoming the City Lord was already a certainty, yet he actually wanted Morgan to personally abolish the three great laws!
Jing Yuan was about to speak, but a commotion came from outside.
"There are Phage Beasts!"
Mo Cheng, piloting a glider for aerial reconnaissance, immediately reported: "Captain, it's Snake Dogs! They're everywhere!"
After hearing this, Jing Yuan initially wanted to take action. On second thought, there would be even harder-to-deal-with Phage Beasts later, so he sat back down.
The other Team Members took action immediately, taking their positions at the machine guns to fire at the Snake Dogs.
The Snake Dogs pursued them all the way; although the bullets couldn't kill them, they kept them from getting close.
However, there were too many Phage Beasts, and soon Snake Dogs broke through the line of fire and jumped onto the armored vehicle.
But these Wasteland Hunters were all experienced veterans; dealing with a few Snake Dogs was more than enough for them.
Coordinating with each other, they quickly broke through the Snake Dog encirclement.
Suddenly, a red energy shell streaked through the air.
"It's an Earth Roar!"
Hearing it was an Earth Roar, Jing Yuan could no longer sit still.
Earth Roars possessed long-range attack methods, which would be more troublesome!
Jing Yuan glanced at the gravity body sniper rifle nearby, took it, and climbed onto the roof of the armored vehicle.
Although gravity body firearms were more powerful, they were also bulkier and heavier.
It was extremely inconvenient to use them without a gravity body.
However, for Jing Yuan, these were not problems.
Seeing this, Penny also replaced the previous Machine Gunner to face the Phage Beasts together with Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan raised the sniper rifle; within a hundred-meter range, he could clearly perceive the spirit seeds of the Phage Beasts.
Bang!
Jing Yuan fired a shot, the bullet flying straight toward the Earth Roar.
At the moment it neared the Earth Roar, the bullet deviated slightly and actually made a direct hit.
That Earth Roar was hit and fell to the ground without warning.
Whoosh! The aura of the Earth Roar's life source essence actually flew toward Jing Yuan across the hundred-meter distance.
Now, as long as Jing Yuan was willing, he could absorb life source essence within a hundred-meter radius. Of course, the prerequisite was that the spirit seed was shattered!
Chapter 99: Nirvana
Jing Yuan used the gravity body sniper rifle to shoot the Earth Roars, basically one shot per kill.
Seeing Jing Yuan's marksmanship, everyone else was shocked; they had never seen anything like it!
In truth, Jing Yuan's marksmanship wasn't that miraculous. It was just that at the moment the bullet approached the Earth Roar, he used Telekinesis to control the bullet's deviation, which allowed for a 100% hit rate.
This was also a compromise solution Jing Yuan had come up with to save his Telekinesis.
Although Jing Yuan could take them down with one shot each, there were unfortunately too many Phage Beasts.
Mark commanded the gravity bodies to deploy; Erica, Flying Snow, and others piloted gravity bodies to shoot the Phage Beasts, their marksmanship also being excellent and effectively suppressing the Phage Beasts.
During the pursuit, a missile hit a dilapidated building, blocking some of the Phage Beasts.
Subsequently, the entire team leaped over a broken bridge, finally shaking off the pursuit of this group of Phage Beasts.
Everyone breathed another sigh of relief.
Soon, the convoy arrived at the destination of this trip, the T-69 Medical Supply Collection Point, Nirvana Biological Technology Co., Ltd.!
Based on the mission intelligence, Mark immediately issued commands for the operation.
The team was divided into five squads, entering through the skylight hole in the center of the building.
The team immediately began busy preparations.
Inside the armored vehicle, Jing Yuan put on his black armor.
Seeing this, Penny asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to wear a gravity body? Why are you putting on armor inside again?"
Jing Yuan's set of armor was heavier than ordinary armor, clearly not suitable for wearing inside a gravity body.
"I'm not using a gravity body anymore! You use it!"
"For me?" Penny was somewhat surprised.
Before coming down, the City Defense Force had sent six gravity bodies, but the allocation of gravity bodies was based on everyone's simulated driving data.
Gravity bodies were scarce equipment; many people hadn't been able to get one before.
This time, Chu Feng, Neil, and Lin Ge were fortunate enough to be assigned a gravity body.
Penny's piloting skills were average, so she hadn't been assigned one.
Jing Yuan thought that since gravity bodies weren't much help to him now, it was better to give it to Penny. He didn't expect her to use it to kill Phage Beasts, but just wanted her to have more defense to ensure her safety.
"Before coming down, I asked Lady Jing Nan to switch the gravity body back to normal mode and added a gravity body machine gun. You should have no problem piloting it, right?"
"Piloting is no problem, but what about you?" Penny was a bit worried.
"I don't need it!" Jing Yuan walked to the side of the gravity body and picked up the plasma light blade battle saber equipped on it.
This was a dedicated gravity body war blade, very large in size; it looked quite out of place being held in hand without wearing a gravity body.
Moreover, most people couldn't even lift this blade.
But Jing Yuan held it with great ease.
Jing Yuan held the blade in one hand and a shield in the other.
There was a magnetic suction device on the back of his black armor, which could fix the war blade and shield to his back.
After equipping himself, Jing Yuan saw Penny standing still and said, "What are you dazing for?"
At Jing Yuan's request, Penny also put on the gravity body.
Jing Yuan walked toward the damaged entrance, and at this time, Mark also walked over, already wearing his gravity body.
Seeing Jing Yuan's outfit, Mark asked in surprise, "You plan on not using a gravity body?"
"No."
"This mission is different from before; you must not be careless."
"Don't worry, I have my reasons."
Seeing Jing Yuan's calm and composed appearance, Mark didn't say anything more.
At this time, a Team Member on the communication channel said, "The entrance is suspected to have been formed by the impact of a large creature. Reconnaissance personnel, please maintain observation."
"Copy that!"
Subsequently, the team descended into the interior of the building.
The main force patrolled the hall once and found no abnormalities.
Mark made arrangements: "The convoy will head to the west side to find an evacuation point and prepare for extraction. The second squad will maintain a strict watch in the hall. Other teams will split up to explore, moving silently; be sure to find the medicine within twenty minutes. Move out!"
"Copy that!"
