Chapter 134 What Are They Doing?

"The behavior of the beast tide is very abnormal. What exactly are they trying to do?"

The commander looked at the beast sphere slowly sinking into the sea not far away, and suddenly thought of a type of ant. When these small insects encounter danger, such as a river they cannot cross or a mountain fire, they will choose to hug each other to form a giant ant ball, rolling forward at the cost of the lives of the ants on the outside.

Flames and water will kill all the members on the outside of the ant ball, but the members inside will escape unscathed.

The current posture of the beast tide is the same as those ants.

But the difference is that ants form a ball to escape for their lives, to escape danger, while these sea beasts form a ball to rush towards danger...

What exactly are they trying to do?

"Have you detected any high-intensity life reactions?" After thinking for a moment, the commander asked the detection room.

"No! There are no Apostle Followers or Apostles in this wave of beast tide!" A staff member immediately responded.

This is strange.

The commander frowned. If it wasn't for escaping, and there were no hidden secondary evolution creatures inside the beast sphere, then what was their reason for launching a fearless charge towards the fleet?

Just to create some trouble for the search work?

But this number is not enough!

The number of this wave of beast tide is only less than ten thousand. If they really want to disrupt the search work, in the sea area outside the human defense line, the Apostles can easily mobilize millions of large beast tides to launch a covering attack. Ten thousand sea beasts are really not enough in front of the mecha warriors.

"I really can't figure out what these beasts are thinking..." the commander sighed, "But it doesn't matter."

The commander's tone relaxed because the mecha warriors were already fighting with the beast tide. Brilliant beams of light shot straight into the sky, and giant spears split the sea. The giant beast sphere was gradually collapsing, and the sea surface was full of the wreckage of sea beasts.

Awoo! Awoo!

A giant whale beast king was cut in half by a giant spear, letting out a shrill wail, and its blood almost dyed the entire sea red.

Clang!

Another laser cannon struck, and hundreds of beast kings were directly burned to charcoal.

As the beast sphere got closer and closer to the sea area where the fleet was located, its volume became smaller and smaller, and the number of sea beasts was also decreasing rapidly.

The roar of artillery shells echoed across this sea area.

The fleet also opened fire.

Under the double attack, the beast sphere finally collapsed. Approaching the last three kilometers of sea area to the fleet, the beast tide consumed the lives of thousands of sea beasts, but still failed to rush over.

Some sea beasts that had not yet been killed wailed on the sea surface, dragging their mutilated bodies.

Looking around, all that could be seen was a scene of broken arms and wreckage, like a cruel Asura field.

"Prepare to clean up the battlefield!" The commander sighed. Although this group of beast tides did not cause substantial damage to the search work, it would still take some time to clean up the sea beast wreckage covering the entire sea area. After all, as the weather became hotter, allowing these corpses to float on the sea surface might breed a large number of viruses and bacteria, and most importantly... the stench!

This place is close to Base 550. Once these corpses deteriorate and rot, they will emit an astonishing corpse smell. If this smell blows into Base 550 with the sea breeze...

The entire Base 550 might turn into a cesspool.

"Distinguish between beast kings and mutated beasts... the corpses of the beast kings will be dragged back to Base 550 to serve as food reserves, and the corpses of the mutated beasts will be directly destroyed!" With the commander's order, the mecha warriors and search team began to clean up the battlefield.

Bang!

A new energy bullet was fired, and the mutated beast corpses floating on the sea burned fiercely. The materials attached to these bullets could burn underwater. Soon, the entire sea area was ablaze with flames.

The waves lapped against these sea beast corpses, slowly moving towards the vicinity of the ships.

An evolution soldier from the search team sat cross-legged on the deck, watching the approaching sea beast corpses, and directly pulled the trigger.

A bullet landed on the sea beast corpse, instantly igniting a fire.

But at the same time, the radiation material detector on his waist suddenly rang extremely harshly and began to vibrate violently, accompanied by dazzling red light!

The evolution soldier was stunned for a moment. He knew very well that this was the reaction of the detector when it detected that kind of core energy crystal.

Within 500 meters, there is a core crystal!

But he had never moved from beginning to end, and the ship had been parked here, without moving at all. Could it be that the waves were rolling the crystal underwater?

The piercing alarm sound attracted the attention of many people. On this ship, detectors were making target detection reactions one after another!

The commander's brain was spinning rapidly, and his eyes suddenly fell on the sea beast corpse that was floating towards the ship and burning fiercely. His pupils suddenly shrank.

He thought of a very outrageous possibility.

"Quick! Quick! Put out the fire and drag that corpse up!" The commander shouted loudly, his tone extremely urgent and excited.

The high-temperature flame caused by the new energy bullet was difficult to extinguish, but since it was created, there were naturally ways to restrain it. As a giant modified version of the liquid nitrogen cannon exploded, the sea beast corpse that was burning fiercely was immediately surrounded by a cloud-like object, and the surrounding air temperature instantly dropped. Even on the deck of the ship 500 meters away, one could feel a bone-chilling chill.

The raging flames slowly extinguished, and the mecha warriors撈 (lāo - scoop up, dredge up) a charred corpse that had been almost burned to carbon, and placed it on the ship where the commander was.

As this corpse was salvaged, the reaction of the detectors on the waists of the evolution soldiers searching the sea became even more violent. The alarm sounds were continuous, and the energy reaction was almost about to explode!

"Go get the protective suit!"

The commander's voice trembled. He was almost certain that a core crystal was hidden inside this beast corpse.

Soon, after putting on the protective suit, the commander personally took the field, holding an alloy steel knife and a detector, searching for the location with the strongest energy reaction around the beast corpse.

Finally, he stopped at the abdomen of the beast corpse. The energy reaction here had reached its peak. Just standing here, his skin felt bursts of tingling!

The commander raised the steel knife and cut it down directly. The charred beast corpse had long lost all activity. As this knife fell, it was instantly disemboweled.

Rotten blood and internal organs flowed out along the abdominal wound. In the blood, a very conspicuous earthy yellow box came into everyone's sight!

"It's a box for holding core crystals!"

The commander laughed when he saw this. He thought that there would be at most a small piece of crystal fragment in this beast corpse, but he didn't expect it to be a complete storage box.

He strode forward, ignoring the rotten, stinky internal organs and blood, and gently opened the storage box. A brilliant glow shone through the cracks in the storage box.

"Three! Three complete crystals!"
