The first operation went smoothly. Boxes of titanium stones were packed. At the end of the day, the Fat Fish will pick them all up.
As for the mining equipment, it will be roughly disassembled and then towed back to the Fat Fish.
By now, Chitaki felt really tired, and Jones didn't have much energy to tease her anymore.
Looking over from a high altitude, you can see a deep hole dug in this area.
This is already the 20th day of operation, and a total of hundreds of boxes of titanium stone have been mined.
If there are no accidents, it is basically coming to an end.
At this time, the Fat Fish began to slowly lower its height from the sky, and stopped its descent when it was still fifty meters above the ground.
The rear cargo compartment opened, and Aina and the other three began to pick up the packed metal boxes and load them.
After three hours of busy work, all the mined materials and mining equipment were recovered, and Aina and the others successfully boarded the Fat Fish. In a sense, their first mission was completed.
The Fat Fish flew towards the other two recovery points.
After Chitaki came down from the miner, he looked at Aina with some surprise. He saw Aina standing aside and operating the virtual screen, and the latest picture appeared.
Below is the location where other teams mined, and the amount mined seems to be a bit small.
Huan directly gave the specific value through the image, 82 boxes.
It seemed that he had indeed benefited, so Chitaki did some calculations.
"Warning, Pollock biological reaction has been discovered (Note: Zerg's unique energy reaction)." Huan suddenly issued a harsh warning.
Chitaki had just reacted when he saw that next to the miners below who were waving to the Fat Fish, pieces suddenly collapsed.
In the control room of the Fat Fish, Demiken stood up from his seat.
Then he roared.
"Pangyu Team 3, Fatyu Team 5, retreat immediately."
"Guardians support them immediately."
The miner who was waving his hands reacted instantly when he heard Demiken's voice.
One after another, they started the back jet devices and all took off.
There was a violent rumbling and shaking, and the two miners were tied up by a slender metal tail. No matter how hard they accelerated, it was useless.
One of the miners who were escaping turned around, opened its cannon barrel, and fired wildly at the metal tail.
"Baidon, what are you doing? Come back immediately. This is an order." Demikan shouted in surprise and anger.
An anxious voice came back, "I can't give up on them."
As soon as he finished speaking, a metal tail sprang out from the ground, and Baidun's miner had no time to hide and was tied up.
At this time, three guardians fell from the sky and began to attack the sudden monster.
The laser light gun hit the metal tail one by one, sputtering out bursts of white light.
"No effect?" Demiken's face turned dark.
Seeing that it had no effect, one of the defenders took out a portable gun barrel from its back and mounted it on its back.
"Penetrating bullet."
A cylindrical cannonball shot down.
There was a loud bang, and the entire ground sank, forming a deep pit.
The metal tail that bound one of the miners was loosened, and the miner immediately flew upwards without looking back. It didn't care whether its other two companions had escaped. It looked like it was frightened.
"Don't be afraid, we will come to you soon." The guardian tried his best to comfort the remaining two miners.
The three guards formed a triangular formation and slowly approached.
At this time, Chitaki felt a strong sense of urgency when looking at the image.
"Data matching."
"Type 2 Elite Thorn Hotan Tail (Zerg)."
"Killed?"
"Pollock's biological reaction is still found, and the target is not dead."
Sure enough, as soon as the guardians approached, five metal tails suddenly appeared from the ground and attacked the three guardians.
The three guards were also startled and hurriedly raised their heads to avoid them.
The guardian flying at the front didn't get out of the way in time, and his left foot was directly tied to the metal tail.
"Oops, I'm stuck."
The other two guardians kept dodging the metal tail attacks, and for a while they couldn't get away at all.
"No!" A frightened voice suddenly came.
It was sent from the driver of a tied-up miner, and it should be communicating with the Fat Fish.
"Save me quickly, I don't want to die."
Then a loud crashing sound and vibrations can be heard.
The metal tail was tied up and tied into the thick cab of the miner's chest.
The entire chest armor began to dent.
"No!" The driver became more and more panicked and seemed to be very mentally unstable.
"Open the cockpit, open it for me, why not open it!"
In the end, the driver's voice was almost hysterical and he started smashing the control room desperately.
The sharp metal tail slowly extended back, and then pierced the recessed metal plate very quickly.
"ah!"
The desperate screams were extremely clear.
The people inside the Fat Fish lowered their heads one after another, and then a grunting sound was heard.
Although the picture was cut off by Demiken, the sound still came through.
Many female soldiers covered their mouths and turned their heads to the side.
At this time, a voice came over, it was Baidun's.
"Captain Demikan, I'll be counting on you from now on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Byton was dragged down and dragged into the pit, out of sight.
On the other side, the two guardians looked at each other and saw that the miners were dead, and began to pour explosive bombs on them.
The explosion continued, and the bound defender took the opportunity to forcefully break free of the golden tail.
"Withdraw." The guard said.
Demiken took a deep breath and said, "The Fat Fish takes off and increases its altitude."
"yes."
"Response to the miners who have escaped." Demiken issued an order.
Quark said, "There are still two teams that have not been recovered, what should we do?"
Demiken thought for a few seconds and said, "The distance is too close. Order them to abandon the resources they are mining and return immediately."
"Captain, what is this?"
People in the command room were hesitant, knowing that if they really did this, the losses would be huge this time.
"Execute the Captain's orders," Quark repeated.
"yes."
Soon, the remaining miners returned to the Fat Fish as scheduled.
Zhan Gai and others came down from the mecha with another team. Zhan Gai's face was livid, and he glanced at Aina, with resentment in his eyes. The first person the Fat Fish picked up was Aina, and she was very concerned about it no matter what.
You must know that nearly a month of hard work is equivalent to all your hard work being in vain.
If it were normal times, Jones would definitely be in a good mood and make some sarcastic remarks, but now he has no such interest at all.
A total of 24 miners set out, and only 13 came back this time. The mortality rate was infinitely close to half. Although the other three teams were missing, they had not responded for so long, so they could basically be judged dead.
