Silicon Invasion

"This is footage from the front lines." Knowing the general's likely reaction, the adjutant handed over the prepared materials.

Taking the tablet, he saw a bird's-eye view. Because it was in the forest, the drone wasn't very high, so the ground visibility was quite clear.

From the video, various kinds of silicon-based beasts, even more varied than the adjutant had described, were moving in the same direction as if they had signed a non-aggression pact.

The general even saw a bear-faced beast less than a meter away from a wolf. How could the bear-faced beast suppress its instincts at such close range?

Before he could get a clearer look, the screen went black, and the video ended. The general knew the drone had been shot down. There were too many silicon-based beasts in the forest with climbing and flying abilities, all of which could pose a threat to the drone.

The general didn't bother analyzing which trajectory beast was responsible, because that wasn't the point.

"Where's Old Zhang? What are his thoughts?"

Old Zhang's real name was Zhang Zhiran. He was over seventy years old and the head of the research team at the base.

"Old Zhang says they can't figure out why these mortal enemies are at peace. He's requesting your approval to seek help from Blue Star."

Hearing the adjutant's words, the general didn't say much. He turned to operate the instrument beside him and, sure enough, saw a request.

Without hesitation, he clicked 'Approve.' This was the first time this had happened on record, and he urgently needed information.

The information was transmitted, and GJ took it very seriously, urgently assembling an online team of experts.

At the same time, some deployments on both sides of the rift were urgently activated to help reduce the dialogue delay between the two sides to within 20 seconds if possible.

Meanwhile, Luo Rui also received intelligence that the entire team was facing at least five thousand silicon-based beasts, which startled him. Fortunately, while the number seemed large, they also had a lot of people on their side. After removing the auxiliary mechs with little combat power, each person only needed to kill five or six.

This number wasn't high. After all, based on Luo Rui's performance in simulated challenges, he often got over twenty kills.

But this was an average. In the abnormal simulation battle, even if Luo Rui was killing it, Niu Wei and the others might not even kill five. This wasn't because Niu Wei and the others were too weak, but because the mechs and team positions determined it.

Moreover, that was when they were fully equipped. In the current situation, Warrior Three didn't have a shield, and Warrior Seven didn't have long-range fire. With their combat power reduced, killing five silicon-based beasts was even more difficult.

As a result, the pressure fell on the long-range fire mechs.

Luo Rui felt he had no problems. He just hoped the other teams were equally effective.

Despite Luo Rui's squad being a bunch of rookies fresh out of school, there might not be many of the hundred-plus squads in the entire team that were stronger than them.

"Coordinates 22'16, area suppression!"

Information came from the command channel. Luo Rui aimed and loaded as required!

Two incendiary bombs roared out. Luo Rui carried three ammunition boxes, each with a base number of 24 shells. This was all the reserves, and he had to conserve them because he didn't know how long the battle would last.

For area suppression like this, where they couldn't even see the target, they naturally fired the incendiary bombs first, followed by the fragmentation and armor-piercing shells, which could kill with one hit, and had to be saved for last.

There were far fewer long-range fire mechs in the team than imagined. Many five-person teams didn't even have long-range fire. Fortunately, some Warrior Sevens, like Instructor Zeng, still had some long-range attack capabilities, even if they weren't fully equipped.

With the cooperation of these Warrior Sevens, the first round of area suppression was decent.

Then came the second and third rounds. By this time, the Warrior Seven's long-range fire weapons had run out of ammunition. Most of them didn't carry extra ammunition boxes because they were mainly for carrying bricks.

So, by the fourth round, the scale of the volley had become much smaller.

Fortunately, Luo Rui could now see the silicon-based beasts.

The road Luo Rui and the others were on was over a hundred meters wide, blasted out by their predecessors with artillery shells to provide some buffer space in case of an attack.

After confirming the direction of the attack, the team had moved quite a bit to the right, leaving a clearing of seventy or eighty meters.

The first to poke out of the forest were Luo Rui and the others' old friends, the all-too-familiar wolves. No wonder they weren't strong, but they could become one of the biggest obstacles to human exploration of Maycan. They really had a lot of them.

Luo Rui didn't hold back. He reloaded the recoilless gun with an armor-piercing shell and raised the grenade launcher in his hand.

Maycan's gravity was lighter than Blue Star's, and there were extra considerations for aiming trajectory-related data. Fortunately, the simulator could restore this well, allowing Luo Rui to maintain his sharpshooter status.

One shot to seal off movement, one shot to hit the bullseye. Luo Rui quickly got his first kill after entering Maycan.

The wolf was worthy of being the most studied silicon-based beast by humans, without a doubt. The simulator almost simulated everything about it. After shooting two wolves, Luo Rui seemed to return to that virtual scene. The habits and customs of the wolf in reality were almost identical to those there.

Accurate shots, fast rate of fire, and the blessing of three attributes surpassing ordinary people made Luo Rui's record quite impressive. The battlefield recorder recorded everything...

The third, the fourth... Luo Rui quickly harvested the lives of the wolves in front of him. The speed was so fast that the rushing wolves were newly timid and actively avoided Luo Rui's direction, running towards both sides.

The pressure on the teams on both sides of the squad suddenly increased. If there hadn't been channel control, they might have cursed directly.

With the range of the recoilless gun, naturally, it couldn't be avoided by simply turning a corner. Luo Rui slightly adjusted the muzzle and once again blasted the wolves, making them flee in disarray.

"Careful!" Tong Yue's voice suddenly came from the speaker.

In fact, without Tong Yue's reminder, Luo Rui had already noticed the abnormality in the forest.

Several huge rocks, weighing over five hundred pounds each, pierced through the canopy and came crashing towards the human position in a parabolic arc.

The speed of the boulders was not as fast as missiles, and the huge noise easily alerted the pilots. Most of the boulders were intercepted by rockets, and the few that landed on the position were also avoided by the pilots in time.

But that didn't mean these boulders weren't deadly. The number of rockets was limited. People like Luo Rui didn't carry rocket nests at all, and even those who did had used up their ammunition in the previous volleys.

If they couldn't quickly eliminate the perpetrators, when the rockets were exhausted, these boulders would inevitably distract the pilots, and if they then engaged in close combat with the wolves while constantly watching overhead, it would likely lead to many mistakes.
