Because of this.
When Xu Zhengyang heard Ran Xiaoyue say that the Blood Plague nest was hidden in the cave in the eastern suburbs, he was momentarily stunned.
But then.
Xu Zhengyang suddenly thought of something crucial. If the Blood Plague nest was hidden in the underground cave...
Then wouldn't he be unable to pilot his Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha?
The Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha was his strongest combat asset! If he couldn't pilot it.
His combat effectiveness would be greatly diminished. At that point, forget about completing the mission, even surviving the ordeal would be a question!
As Xu Zhengyang pondered this.
Ran Xiaoyue, seeing that Xu Zhengyang hadn't responded for a while, cautiously asked, "Hello, are you still on the line?
We are planning to send a platoon of elite soldiers to eradicate the Blood Plague nest tomorrow at 10 AM.
Would you like to join us?"
A platoon only consisted of thirty people. Upon hearing this, Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but frown.
Although he didn't know if the Blood Plague nest harbored any hidden monsters, based on the mission briefing.
Xu Zhengyang knew that thirty people would definitely not be enough! So he asked Ran Xiaoyue, "Can't you send more people? Are thirty enough to deal with the Blood Plague nest?"
"We can't help it..."
Ran Xiaoyue explained with a bitter tone, "The camp needs security, and the search and rescue teams also need personnel...
We really can't spare any more people..."
"..."
Xu Zhengyang fell silent upon hearing this, then he abruptly hung up the phone.
The mission had a time limit of 24 hours. It was currently 12:30 PM, and by 12:30 PM tomorrow, the mission would expire.
If the New White City survivors could send enough people, Xu Zhengyang wouldn't mind joining them.
After all, he couldn't pilot the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha in the underground cave, and being with a group would be safer! But when Xu Zhengyang learned that the New White City survivor camp was only planning to send thirty people.
Xu Zhengyang was certain.
With just this number of people, it would be impossible to completely eradicate the Blood Plague nest hidden in the underground cave within two and a half hours.
So he immediately made a decision. Xu Zhengyang decided to prepare and act on his own right now! *Meanwhile.
Ran Xiaoyue was completely baffled when Xu Zhengyang suddenly hung up. She thought it might have been a signal issue.
Just as Ran Xiaoyue was about to try calling Xu Zhengyang's shelter again.
Suddenly!
With a "whoosh," Ran Xiaoyue saw a massive shadow flash past overhead, heading towards the eastern suburbs!
"This..."
Ran Xiaoyue was dumbfounded by what she saw, "What is that..."
A moment later.
Ran Xiaoyue suddenly realized something, and her expression changed drastically. She quickly said to the communicator, "Send a message to headquarters!
Tell them that the North Shelter might be heading to the Blood Plague nest in the eastern suburbs right now!"
*The distance of twenty to thirty kilometers was just a few minutes' journey for the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha in shuttle mode.
The entrance to the underground cave was at the foot of a mountain, an irregular opening about three meters in diameter.
Perhaps it was because the New White City survivor camp had already clashed with the Flesh Nest.
The entrance to the underground cavern was densely packed with various types of zombies! A preliminary visual estimate suggested there were at least a hundred or two outside the entrance!
If Xu Zhengyang had encountered so many zombies inside the cavern, it would have taken him some effort to eliminate them.
But now...
After the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha landed, it extended two ten-meter-long energy blades and with just a few sweeping motions, it reduced all the zombies outside to pieces!
After dealing with the zombies outside, Xu Zhengyang stored the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha in his Dimensional Space Pocket and switched to a portable combat suit.
Immediately after, he retrieved 30 fully armed T-800 combat robots and ten drones from his Dimensional Space Pocket to scout the area.
Only then, under the protection of the T-800 fighters, did he begin to delve deeper into the underground cavern! The entrance to the cavern wasn't large.
But after descending thirty meters from the entrance and making a dozen turns, one would arrive at a massive underground chamber!
Xu Zhengyang controlled the drones to conduct Detection along the way.
He discovered that the caverns here were interconnected, with the largest one capable of fitting ten football fields! The Blood Plague Nest, which was the mission target, was hidden within the largest cavern!
Around the nest.
Countless mutated zombies gathered, eyeing Xu Zhengyang, the uninvited guest, with hostility! Not only that.
The vast underground cavern was entirely enveloped in a carpet of flesh! After Xu Zhengyang entered.
He felt as if he had stepped into the stomach of some giant beast.
Disgusting!
This was Xu Zhengyang's most immediate feeling! Just as Xu Zhengyang was about to set a timed nuclear bomb here to obliterate the Blood Plague Nest and its monsters in one fell swoop! Suddenly.
He noticed a floating crystal at the top of the Blood Plague Nest, constantly changing its form.
"What is this?"
Xu Zhengyang was puzzled, then immediately activated the 12X zoom function of his shadow glasses and used the Detection skill on the floating diamond-shaped crystal: [Cosmic Artifact·Psionic Obelisk (Unbound)]
[???]
[???]
"Cosmic Artifact!"
After seeing the prefix of the Psionic Obelisk through the Detection skill, Xu Zhengyang exclaimed in excitement!
The last Cosmic Artifact he obtained was the Proof of Leadership, and Xu Zhengyang never expected to see another one here! But the next second.
Xu Zhengyang suppressed his excitement and looked at the Flesh Nest not far away, saying, "It seems...
Today, I must launch a frontal assault on this Blood Plague Nest!"
Although an artifact of this level could likely withstand the impact of a nuclear explosion, Xu Zhengyang dared not take the risk! After all...
Cosmic Artifacts are far too rare and powerful!
Because of this.
After making up his mind, Xu Zhengyang immediately commanded all his T-800 combat robots to form a battle formation and began the frontal assault! "Ratatatatat..."
As the gunfire erupted, the heads of the zombies in the outermost layer of the Blood Plague Nest were instantly blown apart, collapsing to the ground like mud!
At that moment.
"Ah—"
