The First Evolution

Void ray had no wings, but it could easily control gravity with its source core and float in the air. In fact, an adult void ray could reach a weight of more than 10 tons.

It seemed to move slowly at ordinary times, but when it needed a boost, the ray’s internal organs could secrete white phosphorus and use the hydrogen compressed in the body to eject high-temperature flames from the rear. It allowed the void ray to perform many highly difficult flying movements.

Of course, as a high-level predator, void ray would definitely not mind eating humans as food.

It had no molars for grinding food, so if its target would face a tragic end of being forcibly torn into several pieces and swallowed. It had strong acid to help digestion. This acid was also another of its weapons.

This flying creature had caused a lot of trouble for the military and the Star Consortium. So, this meant that Fang Linyan and his team were going to work overtime!

They had to build a large automatic anti-air missile tower overnight. Only this thing could pose an effective threat to void ray and drive it away.

After nightfall, the 2 armored bunkers were built near the camp. They continuously rotated the attached searchlights to provide vision and sprayed flames to kill any creatures that got close to the camp.

The flames that cleared up the area allowed those dangerous creatures to be discovered hundreds of meters away.

Less than an hour after nightfall, dozens of corpses of thorn beasts or other mutated creatures piled up in the open space more than a hundred meters below the armored bunkers.

In order to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other monsters, 3 “Infernal” special warriors were deployed.

They were equipped with solid gasoline hellfire injectors, which sprayed out a 20 meters long flame and incinerated the corpses. The blazing flames could fence off these monsters for a while.

Knowing that they were in a dangerous situation, the logistics personnel did not complain and continued their work.

The automatic anti-air tower was built as quickly as possible, then the installation and debugging began.

The mainstream equipment used by the Federation was the “Eagle V” anti-air tower, which was about 7 meters high. The bottom was a 5×2×3 aluminum alloy bracket. A dark red observation tower was embedded in the central bracket on the top of the tower. The device would rotate continuously.

The observer had 12 built-in “Gabriel III electronic eyes” that collect information about the surrounding airspace at all times.

Two boxes of Stinger anti-air missiles were equipped on the left and right sides of the top. Each Stinger missile had a warhead with a 20kg net weight and 428mm.

The powerful propeller allowed it to fly 30km at a high speed of 400m per second. The warhead was equipped with a self-guided locking device and could penetrate 17MM depleted uranium armor. It was incredibly powerful.

Although the construction of the anti-air missile tower was easier than the bunker, the wire connection was very complicated. Fang Linyan could not help in this aspect. Engineer Stassen connected the optical brain to the anti-air tower and loaded the preset AI program.

Engineer Stassen was dressed very ordinary with a military uniform underneath, a pair of shoulder-length overalls, a pair of high rubber boots, and a pair of dark goggles. He exuded a strong smell of engine oil.

He also fully demonstrated his strength. His fingering skills were dazzling. It only took him 5 minutes to activate the automatic anti-air missile tower! The standard activation time clearly stated in the instruction manual was 40 minutes!

Seeing the missile tank above begin to slowly rotate, the people around felt a strong sense of security. They couldn’t help but spontaneously let out a cheer.

However, at this moment, Vulture suddenly said on the team channel,

“Watch out! Take cover!”

Fang Linyan was shocked by the reminder. He quickly glanced around, but he saw nothing.

However, he immediately pulled Stassen and pushed him to the ground. Because of the excessive force, Stassen’s forehead hit the equipment beside him, bleeding all over the face.

However,

5 seconds passed…

10 seconds passed……

30 seconds have passed!

Stassen, who was pinned to the ground, angrily broke away from Fang Linyan’s arms on his back.

Then he wiped the blood from his face. His face undoubtedly looked even more ugly.

The people around looked over as if they were looking at idiots. Some could not help but laugh.

This kind of plot of a loyal savior was common in movies and novels, so it was popular.

The problem was that before the assassin came, the people had started to rescue. However, the rescued person knocked his head and hurt his back too. This was really making a fool of himself!

Logically speaking, Fang Linyan should be quite embarrassed at this time, but Vulture was already saying anxiously in the team channel,

“Be careful, be careful, my sense of crisis is getting stronger.”

So Fang Linyan pulled down Stassen who was about to stand up again. Although Stassen was mentally prepared this time, he still couldn’t withstand Fang Linyan’s pull and could only lie down again.

Even Stassen was getting angry this time. He said sternly,

“What are you doing!!!”

A person beside also said sternly,

“Are you fucking stupid?”

As he spoke, he bent down to help Stassen.

As a result, this action let this guy escape from death!

Because, the space more than 20 meters away suddenly distorted strangely, then a strange grenade was thrown over.

In the next second, several enemies wearing red armor slowly appeared out of nowhere. It was the Red Barracuda Star Pirates!

They were also the rarest Red Barracuda Phantom Pirates among the Red Barracuda Star Pirates!

They were able to become invisible with the help of the “Teeris” optical camouflage stealth combat uniforms. They could easily filter out the enemy’s sight and do whatever they want right in front of the enemy.

Of course, the high cost was the only reason that restricted the large-scale emergence of this type of equipment.

These people had already designated their target. A phantom pirate threw an “eraser” grenade before appearing.

After exploding, it could spray a terrifying fan-shaped metal storm 180 degrees forward.

In just a moment, the group of people who were laughing at Fang Linyan suffered heavy casualties.

They seemed to be struck by an invisible long blade. They screamed and flew backward. The warm blood on their bodies splashed like a carnival.

Stassen, who was about to get up, widened his eyes in shock. He immediately lay down on the ground again.

Not only that, the newly built “Eagle V” anti-air tower also made a loud noise and collapsed amid the fire and smoke. The Stinger anti-air missiles exploded too.

This was the second result achieved by the other phantom pirate!

Fortunately, the shooting ports of the machine gun bunkers started shooting too, but the enemy had already released a smoke grenade.

This was a highly targeted tactic.

In such a night battle, using a smoke grenade would take away the vision of the bunkers and render their high firepower useless.

No matter how high the firepower was, no one would dare to shoot blindly without fear of friendly fire.

At this time, the camp succumbed into chaos.

Fang Linyan and the other 2 had already gathered together. Of course, they also took Stassen with them. After all, if he died, their favor before would be in vain.

After sending Stassen into the half-completed communication station nearby, Fang Linyan released [Mechanical Gyrfalcon] and Guseer immediately and said to Goat and Vulture at the same time,

“You two, pay attention to the air. The enemy will probably attack from there.”

Goat said,

“Is it because the other party attacked the Eagle V anti-air tower first?”

Fang Linyan said,

“You noticed it too?”

Goat said,

“Yeah, if they just wanted to harass us, they should aim to paralyze the temporary headquarters.”

“Instead, they used the precious phantom pirates to attack an anti-air tower. This proves that the enemy has a back-up plan.”

Sure enough, after about half a minute, through the night vision shared by [Mechanical Gyrfalcon], they saw 2 shuttles of the Red Barracuda Star Pirates flying over not far away!

TL: They consist mainly of logistic personnel, can they survive the ambush of star pirates?
