Chapter 758: Chapter 685 Unexpected_2 Chapter 758: Chapter 685 Unexpected_2 And generally speaking, there’s usually not much left on board, and even if it’s spotted, no one would care about a ship with a hole in its bottom.
“I think instead of worrying about it being found and towed away, we should be more concerned about it soaking in water for too long and possibly sinking,”
Tao Yu, while ordering Xiao Claw to stand by in the nearby sea, added a little amusedly on the side.
Such a tone inexplicably made people feel annoyed, yet at the sa ti a bit helpless.
Because the bottom hole was a fact, and even if it was patched up, having it left here for at least half a month was indeed quite embarrassing.
“When the ti cos, tighten the ropes a bit more, and we’ll firm up the breach, if it really sinks then it can’t be helped.
Look, there’s a small valley over there, let’s go check it out…”
Like the borders of many worlds, the landscape here was uneven, with natural bays deeply indented inward.
After slowly docking the yacht there, Ye Rong and Ye Feng leaped up with steel bars as thick as their arms and landed on the cliff face.
...
Grasping onto the crevices above, they began to hamr the steel bars into the wall for anchorage.
Soon, they had hamred in several bars and began wrapping the ship’s cables around these secured steel bars, fixing the yacht in place.
“Change into your equipnt, although it’s only a 400-kiloter journey, the armor of these Cockroach People is not to be taken lightly.”
Having jumped back onto the deck, Ye Rong, as the team leader, clapped her hands as a reminder.
She herself wore a set of Leather Armor, which was also an item of Yuan Force with exceptional defense capabilities and a certain boost to physical attributes, especially Dexterity, and was quite expensive.
Ye Feng, on the other hand, was decked out in a more sci-fi way, sporting a standard tight-fitting battle suit that was quite lightweight overall.
Thomas, with chanical enhancents for support, needs no further ntion, while the other three, including the big bear dic, had all put on a set of exoskeletons.
The difference was that the exoskeletons on the other two were also equipped with distinctly modern weaponry, including Gatling guns with a scent of machine oil, and ammo boxes slung over their backs.
The boat had not co empty, for apart from food, it was nearly all ammunition.
As for the big bear dic, she had several more dical packs, which bore clear relevant markings.
Even in a place like the Abyss, there was a consensus to avoid killing dics as much as possible, so declaring one’s identity could bring an extra layer of protection.
“Firearms are very energy-efficient when dealing with the weaker enemies.
The ammo is all specially configured, powerful enough armor-piercing bullets to breach the Cockroach People’s defenses.
Save on energy where we can.”
Ye Feng smiled at Tao Yu and tossed a large assault rifle to him.
He, Ye Rong, and Thomas also each took one.
It could be said that, except for Thomas, who relied on his shooting module and was considered a professional marksman, the other team mbers’ focus was not on firearms.
But even so, they had still brought these along, with the yacht’s cabin packed to the brim.
With the carrying capacity of the exoskeletons, they had an ample supply of ammunition.
As Ye Feng had reminded, although they were confident that the Cockroach People posed no threat, they were still well-prepared.
They did not underestimate the journey even though it was only four hundred kiloters…
…
The reddish-brown desolate surface, with an air of desolation, where a gust of wind could easily whip up the dust and sand from the ground.
And it was upon this desolate land that seven figures dashed across at around sixty yards per second.
“The air here is rather thin, and the composition isn’t too great either, just about manageable to breathe.”
Ye Rong frowned; she wasn’t at the stage where she could go without breathing just yet.
“It shouldn’t be that ‘Earth’, it belongs to a different celestial body.”
Having visited the planet with the Galaxy Fleet and the World of Avatar, Tao Yu could easily make the judgnt.
Their speed could actually be faster, but after all, there were four Interdiate Partners with them, and the current pace was just right in ensuring that their energy and combat strength didn’t wane.
Combat sprinting and making a journey were two completely different matters.
“We should reach the barrier of the Land of Fire in roughly seven hours, but rember to be cautious on the way, and any drone feedback should be communicated imdiately.”
Ye Feng added from the side.
At this ti, Ye Feng, Ye Rong, and Tao Yu ford a triangle at the forefront, followed by four Interdiate Partners.
Thomas and Mama Bear were in the middle, while the exoskeleton duo, Ox and Horse, brought up the rear.
Their sixty-yard dash speed kicked up a lot of dust despite relying only on their legs.
However, just then, everyone’s wireless earpieces experienced another signal interruption.
This ti it was the Pioneer’s public channel.
“Watch out for the Cockroach People, watch out!
Szzt~”
The voice sounded panicked and full of despair, but that was all it said.
“What’s going on?
Be more specific.”
Ye Rong gasped slightly and then asked sternly over the channel, but no response ca.
As the supporting Thomas, streams of data quickly appeared in his eyes, and he swiftly spoke up,
“It’s a black box from a chanical Pioneer.”
Hearing his words, Tao Yu glanced sideways.
This was slightly different from Starshine’s style.
On the chanical modification side of Starshine, almost everyone was a self-destruct fanatic.
He didn’t expect that anyone would leave parts behind, probably related to the fact that most chanical modifications in Earth Dragon City were supportive in nature.
“Actually, the World Will of this place is pretty crazy…”
Tao Yu looked up at the sky.
Known for his achievents in Divination, he felt it was difficult to get feedback from the Realm Will here.
This world, he feared, was more troubleso than he had imagined.
“Don’t worry about it, let’s just push harder and reach the Land of Fire in one go.
Once we’re in the Land of Fire, we’ll be safe.”
Ye Rong’s expression was calm.
After a lesson learned at sea previously, she had no intention of following the signal this ti.
Four hundred kiloters, even if they traveled without affecting their combat power, would take only half a day.
It shouldn’t be an issue…
But just then, Thomas, with a glint flashing in his eyes, spoke up again,
“I’ve discovered traces of the Cockroach People, roughly ten of them, blocking our path in the canyon ahead.
It seems they’ve suddenly appeared, as if specifically to ambush us…”
“How could they, how did they find us?”
Mama Bear, while moving at high speed, asked in surprise.
Here, they needed drones to spot anything.
What were the Cockroaches using?
“Perhaps it’s the radio communication from earlier; they’ve picked up the remains of that person, and even started using them.
They’re very intelligent…”
“Only ten of them?
That shouldn’t be a problem, let’s break through…”
At this mont, Tao Yu, who was also running along, had a glimpse of ghostly lights in his eyes.
Such chaotic auras, captured from such a distance…
Ten of them?
My goodness, there seem to be more than a hundred thousand underground, what kind of thing is this?
Although Tao Yu thought the number of Cockroach People might be higher than expected when he heard their na.
The fact that there were over a hundred thousand lurking underneath just ten above ground was quite the contrast.
The Cockroach People’s base physical defenses were on the level of an Interdiate Partner.
It was really nothing to him, but for the average Pioneers, and compared to other World Fragnts, it was indeed a bit much…
