Chapter 28 Hunting Operation
With the addition of Qin Feiyun and others, the construction of the aircraft's main structure proceeded much more smoothly.
Their combined power allows them to create large structures in one go.
The fuselage, wings, engine structure, and other auxiliary structures were completed one by one.
Upon seeing the twelve aircraft parked in the square before them, both Commander Tian and Instructor Li couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.
"I never imagined you could accomplish all this in just ten days!"
Twelve aircraft, their accompanying weapons, and equipment to arm one hundred people, plus a modified armed jeep and an armed transport vehicle converted from a bus.
Even knowing that this consumed a lot of resources and destroyed many damaged cars, they still felt it was worth it.
Because those things, even if they're just sitting there, are just a pile of 'junk' and won't magically transform into these weapons and equipment.
"I never imagined that the abilities of evolved beings could be so powerful."
"It seems that the abilities of evolved beings will be an important source of productivity in future production and life!" Instructor Li clapped his hands and smiled happily.
"This time, we will definitely be able to achieve our planned objectives and eliminate all those beast hordes!" Instructor Tian nodded and said.
Even without these weapons, they still dared to charge into the beast horde, so now they can naturally achieve even more impressive results!
"Well said! If this hunting plan succeeds, it will solve at least a month's worth of food consumption at once."
"Once things start running smoothly at the base, everything will be alright!" Coach Li seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then turned and shook hands with Commander Tian.
"Old Tian, I'm entrusting everything to you!"
After watching the hunting party leave, Instructor Li turned around and returned to the underground base, heading to the research center.
He smiled and nodded as he watched the guards carry away a machine.
"At this rate, the basic power supply system will be restored soon."
Upon entering the science and technology research room, Hu Ming and Qin Feiyun were recalibrating the blueprints of an instrument.
Leng Yue placed a component in front of the long-haired girl. "Could you be a little more careful? This time it's off by three nanometers; this is the fifth time there's been such a large discrepancy!"
The long-haired woman took the part, a surge of energy flashing in her hand, and then tossed it to Leng Yue. "You're capable of doing it, why did you have to make an extra trip? Does it make you look like you've never made a mistake and are very excellent?" she said, glancing at Qin Feiyun's direction.
The meaning was clear: "I have a real backer; minor mistakes won't affect my position here."
Leng Yue shook her head. "This isn't about highlighting anything about me, but rather, as a researcher, it's essential to..."
"Huh? Researcher, are you kidding me? You're just a humanoid tool for manufacturing parts. Once all the other machines are built and perfected, we won't need people like you anymore!"
"You!" Leng Yue felt a surge of nameless anger after being spoken to like that.
She suddenly remembered her conversation with Wu Ou the night before and couldn't help but suppress her anger.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" a stern voice rang out.
"Coach Li!" Upon seeing Coach Li standing at the door, the long-haired woman quickly lowered her head and nervously clutched her clothes.
Some things, if said in private, can be ignored because of her relationship with Qin Feiyun.
But to say something like that in front of your boss, which would definitely get you scolded, is just plain stupid!
After staring at the girl for a few seconds, Coach Li simply sighed, "Xiao Xu, you are all talents that the country needs right now. Moreover, in our country, no matter what your position is, everyone is equal in serving the people!"
In the current situation, the priority should be completing the plan!
Xiao Qin, I hope you can manage them well. That's all!
They probably lost interest in asking any further questions about the progress of the equipment construction.
Seeing Coach Li leave, Xiao Xu quickly approached Qin Feiyun. "Feiyun, I... I just..."
"Some things can't be said. Besides, if she's the tool for making parts, then what are you, with your constant mistakes? Unqualified scrap!"
Qin Feiyun didn't give her any face and directly criticized her.
"Feiyun~~" Xiao Xu looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears, as if she couldn't believe that her beloved was criticizing her like this.
"Alright! Wipe away your tears, adjust your mindset, and get back to work. Can you afford to take responsibility if your little quirk affects the entire base's energy restoration progress?!"
Seeing Qin Feiyun's firm attitude, Xiao Xu opened his mouth but said nothing.
But as he walked past Leng Yue, he glared at her fiercely.
After leaving the northern base and confirming their direction, the hunting team began to travel in a straight line.
An aircraft flew forward, circled once in the air, and then reported the situation via radio.
"Target number three has been located and confirmed; the estimated number exceeds three hundred!"
On the main group's side, a middle-aged man asked solemnly, "More than three hundred? Did they migrate from elsewhere, or are they breeding?"
Although it seems 'unscientific,' their observations revealed that these mutated beasts do indeed reproduce much faster than in their normal state.
Furthermore, there seem to be no cases of difficult childbirth or loss of fertility; all the births have been of high quality, and the number of babies born at one time is quite large.
In addition, newly born mutant beasts grow much faster than normal ones.
However, with the increased numbers, their harvest this time will be even greater, which is a good thing!
"As planned, groups two, three, and four, proceed to your designated locations and give your reports!"
The planes were divided into groups, and the guards on the ground could only run.
Through this regular hunting training, their strength has exceeded the fifth level, and they have begun to sense the existence of source energy.
Therefore, their equipment also included short swords, hand axes, and small repeating crossbows for close combat.
Within ten minutes, the other three groups had already reported that they had arrived.
After glancing at the map, Captain Su picked up the radio communicator. "Proceed with the plan!"
On the snow, a herd of energy deer were digging away the snow to eat the grass hidden underneath.
With a touch of snow water mixed in, it also saves time when you need to drink water.
Several of the more robust-looking ones were patrolling the area, but in reality, they only took a few steps and ate a bit of grass.
hum-
A gust of wind blew by, and the deer acting as guards were the first to notice the anomaly, looking up at the sky.
Yes, some strange big birds, species I've never seen before.
Yo yo yo—!
A warning cry rang out, and the grazing deer all raised their heads.
"Yo yo!"
A deep voice came, and then a figure stood up from the herd of deer.
Compared to other energy deer, which stand no more than two meters tall, this one reaches three meters.
The horns on its head look like a pair of forks pointing skyward.
Without a doubt, the current leader of this deer herd has reached level one in strength!
