Chapter 73 Plans and Changes
At dawn, Fang Senyan and the others were sound asleep, but suddenly, they opened their eyes in unison.
An indescribable feeling washed over them.
The feeling was filled with an astonishing majesty, like the boundless and vast dark sky descending from above, covering everything, carrying an irresistible supreme will!!
Under the scan of this feeling, the special mark that had grown on Fang Senyan's arm began to resonate strongly. No matter how much the main body tried to suppress it, it was unavoidable. Instantly, everyone knew a cruel fact!
That was, the Predator's mothership had arrived at the Upros planet and was beginning to scan the creatures on the planet!
The Predators probably didn't know yet that Fang Senyan and the others had voluntarily branded themselves, but these guys only needed to join forces with the advance team, and they would naturally guess what had happened. According to the information revealed by that Predator warrior, although it was difficult to screen out "traitors" from the already branded creatures, it could only delay them for a maximum of three days...
Fang Senyan never pinned his life on low-probability events, so he believed that from now on, his group had at most only a day and a half left! This also included the buffer time to return to the vicinity of Mushroom Rock and dig out the Hornet probe they had ridden in!
Everyone's heart felt heavy. They couldn't help but go out and look up at the sky. Instantly, they could see countless stars twinkling in the dark sky, dazzlingly bright. And surrounded by two bright, Upros-yellow meteorite belts, a black dot the size of a thumb suddenly appeared in the sky!! That should be the Predator's spaceship.
Under normal circumstances, such spaceships used for ultra-long-range interstellar travel would not land on the planet's surface unless absolutely necessary, but would directly launch sub-ships to land. A chilling thought suddenly surfaced in Fang Senyan's mind, and he couldn't help but say slowly:
"I wonder if you've thought about something?"
Aldaris glanced at Fang Senyan and said:
"You must be talking about our retreat."
Fang Senyan nodded silently:
"Compared to the Predators, human technology can barely be considered to be in the same era. But in reality, there is still a certain gap, somewhat similar to the technological difference between China and the United States during the Korean War. So, can the Hornet probe we ride in to escape really evade these guys' pursuit?"
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere became awkward.
At this time, Fang Senyan's eyes flashed with a cold light:
"The answer is actually in our hearts. It's just that everyone is unwilling to think about it. Let me say it. We probably won't be able to escape, but that definitely doesn't mean our path to survival is cut off!"
Fang Senyan's next words immediately lifted everyone's spirits:
"Think about it. Why did the Predators send out an advance team? The reason is simple. The advance team can get here faster... Have you thought of anything??? That is to say, if we put aside long-distance space travel, then the Predator's sub-spaceship can be faster than the mothership!! Therefore, our path to survival actually lies in killing people and seizing their ship!"
"In other words, if we rashly ride that Hornet aircraft into the sky, the Predators will take care of us with a single laser, leaving us to die without knowing why! But if we are on the ground, based on this race's pride, they will definitely send warriors to hunt us... Well, would you rather face an irresistible laser beam, or a high-level Predator warrior who can still fight fairly?"
Undoubtedly, Fang Senyan's words enlightened everyone a lot. The initial difficulty was concentrated on how to pilot the Predator's spaceship. But this difficulty was quickly resolved. Ronnie possessed universal driving skills. This was an ability he had learned by chance. He could master the driving methods of any machine in a short time after contact.
This not only included the Predator's spaceship, but even a Gundam. According to Ronnie, he had even driven Red Spider, whose head was severely damaged and in a coma, in the Transformers world! It could be seen that every guy who could come here had a wonderful past.
What Fang Senyan didn't say was that even if Ronnie's line was broken, a set of simple spaceship operation guides was stored in the Predator's mask. In other words, Android No. 1 could also drive in critical moments.
However, to seize the Predator's sub-spaceship, the time difference must be very important. It couldn't be too early, nor too late. Once the other party detected the intention in advance, it would be even more difficult. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether the other party had any countermeasures. In short, they had to achieve three words: steady, accurate, and ruthless!
And even if they decided to seize the spaceship, Fang Senyan and the others still had two options:
The first option was to seize the sub-spaceship of the advance team that had landed first.
The second option was that after they were found, the mothership in the sky would definitely send a sub-spaceship with a full complement of Predator warriors to come down and "clean up the garbage."
If they were to carry out the first option, then the time to deal with the sinful Fabro people had to be limited to half a day. Using one day to prepare for seizing the spaceship also meant that they would have no time to extract Yttrium elements.
The second option was to let the situation develop and then wait for the Predator warriors' "cleaning team" to descend nearby and directly come to their door. It was convenient and fast, but that meant a death battle that could only be won and not lost!
These two options were debated endlessly. In the end, Fang Senyan suggested that they first deal with the group of sinful Fabro people. They would decide the situation on this side based on the situation on that side. If they suffered a serious setback here, they would not hesitate to implement the first option. In short, if this plan succeeded, they would be able to support it until now and even bring back a Predator spaceship. In any case, they would be meritorious.
After discussing the matter, everyone was no longer in the mood to sleep. They quietly set off overnight according to the map and the confessions of the two prisoners, heading to the Black Fungus Tribe's base.
Probably because the Black Fungus Tribe had been rampant here for too long and was like a local tyrant, it seemed that no one had dared to attack them for a long time, so the defense of this tribe seemed quite lax.
The settlements of the sinful Fabro people were usually in valleys, and the valleys must be humid and not dry, otherwise it would not be conducive to the survival of the fungal "black liver." Fang Senyan and the others killed several snoring sentries along the way and came to the ridge next to this unusually rancid valley.
The scene that appeared in front of them was very terrifying. A large number of corpses and flesh of the victims were dissected and piled under the huge cap of the "black liver." The air was filled with stench. In the valley, in addition to a large number of "black liver" mushrooms, there were also buildings like shacks. When the wind blew, a large number of spider web-like white objects would fly out of the shacks, like a ghost domain.
The sinful Fabro people could secrete white filamentous objects and paste them on the inner surface of the simple and huge hexagonal buildings made of firewood to strengthen them. These shacks were the residences of ordinary sinful Fabro people. Sharp hissing sounds would be heard from time to time, which was the snoring of the sinful Fabro people. Although they were complete vegetarians, the ferocity of these guys would definitely not be weaker than any carnivorous group.
Fang Senyan made a gesture to Ronnie and then, according to the original plan, handed him two things. These two things were actually two arms... the left arms of the Predators that had been cut off.
Fang Senyan had already told Ronnie how to operate this thing. Of course, the main thing was to teach him how to activate the self-destruct program embedded in the arm? After some research, Fang Senyan determined that the two major weaknesses of the sinful Fabro people were first, the poisonous mushroom "black liver," and second, the Kurut minerals they had accumulated.
Kurut minerals were indispensable for every sinful Fabro person.
Especially the stronger the sinful Fabro people, the greater the demand for Kurut minerals! Therefore, it was impossible for this strategic material to be said that ordinary tribesmen mined and ate as much as they wanted every day. Otherwise, wouldn't they starve if they were unlucky and had no harvest?
Therefore, Kurut minerals must have a storage place.
Fang Senyan's plan was to let Ronnie sneak in quietly first and place the Predator's two arms as time bombs in key areas. The power of this bomb was beyond doubt. According to accurate data, the affected area reached a terrifying several blocks, and the core explosion power was even comparable to a nuclear bomb.
It could be imagined that after the two major weaknesses of the sinful Fabro people were detonated at the same time, it would inevitably cause an amazing chaos. At this time, sending a small number of people to take the opportunity to set fires in the camp and create chaos, while the majority of the people rushed forward, quickly and decisively, and launched a surprise attack on the leader of the sinful Fabro people in the deepest part of the valley. They should be confident of success.
According to the assignment, Bokan and Aldaris were the best candidates to stay and create chaos. Bokan could freely create terrain that was unfavorable to the enemy to create chaos, and Aldaris's mental storm was a great weapon when the enemy was in large-scale chaos and could not organize an offensive!
It had to be admitted that as long as this plan was implemented successfully, it should have a great chance of success, but plans could never keep up with changes! Fang Senyan never expected that Ronnie would encounter huge trouble in the first step of sneaking into the valley to place the bomb!
