Chapter 1 The Ordinary Underground

The underground was just ordinary soil, and the Mole Drill easily burrowed down. In order not to be discovered by the Queen Mother, Li Chenzhou drilled down a full kilometer before heading towards the Queen Mother's direction.

Previously, the Queen Mother's movement underground made Li Chenzhou feel that this fellow was definitely hiding its weakness. Therefore, he wanted to drill directly to the lower part of the Queen Mother's abdomen, and then drill upwards.

Although the Mole Drill was a dedicated engineering machine and didn't carry weapons, it did have a huge drill bit. If this thing were to drill upwards, it should be able to inflict some damage on the Queen Mother, right?

Moreover, because it buried its lower body underground, there were naturally no Devourers to protect it. If this was really its weakness, then Li Chenzhou might really be able to deliver a fatal blow!

When starting to move towards the Queen Mother's location, Li Chenzhou directly activated the Mole Drill's shock absorption and silent mode. In this mode, the Mole Drill's speed would be very slow, but the drill bit's rotation would be silent, and digging through the soil wouldn't produce much vibration.

Inside the Mole Drill, Li Chenzhou also maintained contact with the War Fortress. He had Grizzly constantly fly the War Fortress back and forth above the Queen Mother, occasionally dropping a few energy bombs, not to kill, but to attract the Queen Mother's attention.

It took a full half hour for Li Chenzhou to finally reach directly below the Queen Mother. He adjusted the angle of the Mole Drill and began to move upwards. The Queen Mother above didn't seem to notice Li Chenzhou's presence.

When he was about a hundred meters away from the Queen Mother, Li Chenzhou became even more cautious. He adjusted the Mole Drill's power to the minimum, moving upwards little by little, trying not to make any noise.

Finally, according to the radar's detection, he was less than ten meters away from the Queen Mother. Li Chenzhou stopped the Mole Drill, thought for a moment, and had Grizzly ask Duan Lei about the situation there.

Duan Lei's side currently had no issues, but there were new developments in the city.

The warriors who were sweeping through the city were now approaching the city's central area. They didn't want to get here so quickly on their own, but the eight Devourer Nests had entered the city, bringing a large number of fighter jets.

The warriors were forced here by the large number of fighter jets. Because the jets' attacks had consumed a lot of energy from their chariots, many warriors had abandoned their chariots and become true infantry.

Fortunately, this was a Devourer city, and the fighter jets didn't seem to want to cause too much damage to the city's buildings. Therefore, after abandoning their chariots, the warriors who used the buildings to hide themselves didn't suffer too many casualties.

"How long until those Nests reach us?"

Li Chenzhou immediately asked after learning the situation.

"I can see them now. They've sent a large number of fighter jets to support the Queen Mother, and their main bodies should be here in about twenty minutes," Grizzly replied.

"Good! Launch the signal flare, prepare for the all-out attack!!!"

Li Chenzhou took a breath and gave the order!

"Roger!"

Grizzly agreed and then pressed a button. The War Fortress immediately launched a signal flare into the air.

"Boom!"

The signal flare quickly ascended and then exploded, the colorful fireworks instantly covering most of the city. Even at the very edge of the city, this brilliant firework could be seen clearly.

"Kill!!!"

As the signal flare exploded, all the surviving warriors in the city roared together, launching a charge towards the Queen Mother, and the Devourers who had long since completed their cleanup and were hiding on the side also charged towards the Nests.

Li Chenzhou's order to the Devourers was to immediately attack the Queen Mother's area with all their might after seeing the fireworks, in order to clear the way for the ground warriors.

Among these Devourers were the five hundred special Devourers. They would definitely attract the Nests' attention, especially the Devourers they controlled, who were originally from the Nests.

Discovering that its own people were being controlled and attacking it instead, the Devourer Queen Mother would definitely prioritize eliminating these guys, because they posed the greatest threat to it.

At the same time, Grizzly and the others in the War Fortress were firing at full power, constantly dropping energy bombs while using concentrated firepower to clear the fighter jets in the air.

However, the current fighter jets weren't just hatched by the Queen Mother, but also by the eight Nests in the distance. And it seemed that they had received the Queen Mother's order, as the eight Nests were no longer hatching ground troops, but were all hatching fighter jets!

Therefore, at the eight Nests, fighter jets were densely packed and endless, but their targets were basically all the War Fortress in the air, and they rarely attacked the ground Devourers and warriors.

One reason was that there were so many buildings on the ground that could provide cover, and another was that the ground troops on the Queen Mother's side had already made contact with Xiao Xin's Devourer troops!

"Grizzly! Drop it!"

Li Chenzhou was still in the Mole Drill about ten meters underground from the Queen Mother. He had been watching the footage relayed by the War Fortress. When he saw that the ground Queen Mother's Devourer troops had become entangled with Xiao Xin's Devourer troops, he issued another order.

"Roger!"

Grizzly agreed, and then all the weapons on the War Fortress suddenly output the maximum energy, while the War Fortress itself suddenly rushed downwards. Then, the War Fortress's energy shield disappeared instantly, and a huge steel cylinder was transmitted out of the War Fortress, falling to the ground!

Immediately afterward, the War Fortress's energy shield reappeared. Because it was surrounded by countless fighter jets, even though the War Fortress used its maximum output to clear the surrounding fighter jets when retracting the shield, and the energy shield only disappeared for about a second, hundreds of energy beams still took the opportunity to hit the War Fortress!

The War Fortress suddenly emitted trails of black smoke, and some beam cannons were directly destroyed. Fortunately, Grizzly had notified the warriors in the gunnery positions in advance, so there were no casualties.

Moreover, with enough slaughter points, the damaged positions were immediately restored, and the beam cannons were replaced with new ones. However, Grizzly didn't care about these things, but stared intently at the falling steel cylinder.

Li Chenzhou was also watching the steel cylinder. During the fall, the steel cylinder was hit by several energy beams, but fortunately, it wasn't damaged and landed directly on the ground.

"Hiss~~!"

A few seconds after landing, the steel cylinder suddenly made a hissing sound. Along with the sound, a large amount of gray gas was released...
