Chapter 193: Retreat
Seeing that Zuo Zhe was about to run away, the flying machine that had surrounded Zuo Zhe almost simultaneously emitted beams of high-energy particles that were nearly the speed of light! However, these high-energy particle beams were blocked by the spiritual shield on Zuo Zhe's body. Even if these high-energy particle beams were able to defeat the first layer of spiritual power shield actively activated on Zuo Zhe's body's surface, they also bought valuable time for the passively triggered spiritual power shield!
In the face of the endless spiritual power shields on Zuo Zhe's body, although the high-energy particle beams of the four-sided method were extremely powerful, they did not defeat Zuo Zhe's outer defense in the first place! And it was in this short period of time that Zuo Zhe had already pulled away the smoke bomb in his hand, and was shrouded in a large amount of black fog that quickly spread! Although this smoke bomb seemed to have no defensive power, it could weaken or even absorb part of the energy attack. In the face of high-energy particle beams, there is no essential difference between smoke, dirt and steel plates. In order to ensure the strong lethality of high-energy particle beams, high-energy particle beams must not only have high-energy particles with strong penetrating power, but also high-energy particles that can instantly heat up the metal. If you only pursue strong penetration, most of the energy of the high-energy particle beam will directly penetrate the target, but it will only damage the target's genes, cells, or organs like nuclear radiation, and waste most of the energy on unrelated targets behind the target. However, if you only pursue an instantaneous violent rise, the power of high-energy particles will drop sharply or even lose their lethality when facing smoke, dust, haze, and even rain and snow. Compared to the interior of the planet, the largest use of energy weapons is in near-vacuum outer space operations. In the battle inside the planet, in order to deal with the complex and changeable combat environment, metal warheads and explosive attacks are still commonly used weapons.
After the smoke blocked some of the high-energy particles that could instantly increase the high temperature, the pressure on the spiritual shield was suddenly reduced a lot. However, before Zuo Zhe quickly disappeared under the surface, one after another high-explosive and armor-piercing shells were shot down from all directions!
In this regard, Zuo Zhe made a response plan the moment the smoke bomb was released. Because, there were already dirt barriers around Zuo Zhe's body, and the surrounding air stirred up the black smoke and turned into countless wind blades, which rotated densely and at high speed around Zuo Zhe's body!
Under the protection of spiritual shields, smoke bombs, earth barriers, and wind blades, Zuo Zhe won precious seconds! That is, this few seconds, Zuo Zhe's figure quickly disappeared under the surface, and dived towards the depths of the earth with all his might!
"Damn, what kind of ability is this, to be able to drill into the ground without the help of a ground-burrowing mechanical body!" The interstellar adventurers, including Kevin, who remotely controlled the robot operations under him, never expected such a thing to happen. They were only thinking about capturing Zuo Zhe before, and they didn't plan to kill Zuo Zhe. In addition to the murder law, it is also because they want to find out the location of the treasure by capturing Zuo Zhe. It is precisely because of this that these interstellar adventurers did not use powerful weapons as soon as they came up. Otherwise, it would not be the aircraft that launched the attack at the beginning, but the main guns of the starships already in place in outer space.
Although Zuo Zhe was fleeing underground, the flying machine that was flying quickly towards Zuo Zhe's location was also carrying a ground-drilling robot. After all, he came to Wang Bangxing to dig up treasures, how could he not have a large number of ground-drilling robots?
However, Zuo Zhe's speed of retreat exceeded the expectations of Kevin and the others, and he was simply diving towards the deeper part of the earth's surface, and it seemed that it would not take long to disappear within his own exploration range!
"Don't waste time here, hurry up and go to his place where he is gone!" Without Kevin's reminder, the interstellar adventurers scattered in the underground caves of Wang Bang Star have sat on their respective aircraft, and after taking off into the air, they quickly rushed towards Zuo Zhe's location! The reason why they took the risk to take off is because the maneuverability of the aircraft inside the planet is very poor, and even if there is fire support from outer space, it is best to choose to fly close to the ground. This is because flying close to the ground allows the aircraft to hide in undulating terrain. In this way, if the enemy wants to launch high-power high-energy particle beams, he can only attack them within a limited range. After all, high-energy particle beams can't be turned like missiles.
Having escaped into a crack in the ground at a depth of more than 100 meters from the surface, Zuo Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. The previous scene really scared Zuo Zhe, Zuo Zhe didn't expect that there would be a starship above his head! If the other party used the super-powerful high-energy particle cannon of the starship to attack at the beginning, Zuo Zhe would probably be killed in an instant! In front of the high-energy particle beam that was almost the speed of light, the thickness of Wang Bangxing's atmosphere was not worth mentioning at all!
"I kind of know why the bases in these border areas of the Star Empire are built under the surface. If the base is not built under the surface, once the air supremacy of the planet is lost, it will be attacked by high-energy particle beams like ploughing in outer space! This is just an interstellar ship, if it is replaced by an interstellar warship of the regular army, the scene will definitely be no worse than a natural disaster! Even if the surface base has a powerful energy shield, as long as the defense of one point is broken, the defense will be torn apart little by little! At the moment, Zuo Zhe has two choices, one is to quickly open the spatial teleportation circle and leave Wang Bangxing to return to Lucky Star, and the second is to continue to drill into the ground.
Even if both options are evasions, there is a difference. If you escape back to Lucky Star, it's a pure escape. And in the process, the secret of the spatial teleportation circle may also be discovered. In contrast, if he continued to drill beneath the surface, Zuo Zhe would be able to find the place beneath the surface that exuded spatial fluctuations and probe the secrets hidden beneath the surface. Moreover, it is also possible that Zuo Zhe can get a way to quickly reduce the volatility of space.
After only thinking about it for a while, Zuo Zhe made a decision and continued to drill below the surface. It was not difficult to make this decision, and Zuo Zhe had not yet fallen into the situation of running away in a hurry. It's just that the next retreat can't follow the straight path between two points and one line. In comparison, there is no doubt that it is more convenient to drill along the cracks in the ground. Moreover, Zuo Zhe also brought a single mecha with him before he came here. As long as this individual mecha is equipped with excavation machinery, it can burrow into the ground as quickly as a king-sized pangolin. Instead of using a large amount of spiritual power to drill into the ground, Zuo Zhe prefers to use a single mecha that can replenish energy locally. The fast-digging drill bit transports a large amount of rock to the space behind the mech, allowing the mech to quickly move diagonally down the crack in the ground under the guidance of the drill.
Behind Zuo Zhe, robots with ground-drilling machines also chased after Zuo Zhe, acting as outposts for the follow-up mecha warriors who were about to burrow into the ground, while eliminating possible traps along the way.
Tylenol, which is the closest ecological planet to the king bomb. With the ecological planet Tylenol as the core, the entire single-star planetary system has three layers of fleet protection: inner, middle and outer.
The innermost defense force is the police force in the atmosphere of Tailenol, which is responsible for maintaining law and order in the planet's atmosphere. From the outside of the Tylenol atmosphere to the edge of the Tylenol Planetary System, an elite fleet of long-term garrisons strictly guards the safety of Tylenol against outlaws such as the poor and crazy interstellar pirates who dare to do anything.
In the surrounding space with the Techno planetary system as the core, on the many interstellar routes that have been discovered, patrol fleets maintain the smooth operation of the interstellar routes. As for the safety of the passing fleet, it is to be ensured by the warships and ships responsible for escorting, and not by the patrol fleet.
Even with a powerful fleet, the guardian fleets of the Tylenol planetary system will not go out and risk easily. With the increasing number of orphans produced by the "baby factory", the living environment around the Tylenol Planetary System has not been significantly improved, resulting in the continuous deterioration of security around the Tylenol Planetary System. In order to deal with the social conflicts that may arise from baby factories, some parliamentarians have proposed to gradually reduce the number of babies produced by baby factories. However, for the sake of the outward expansion of human civilization around the Tylenol planetary system and the population density of the surrounding areas, such a proposal was never approved. While increasing the population will bring many social problems, if there are no people, there will be a large number of planets in a state of desolation. Moreover, the increase in population is not without benefits. As the population increases, new human cities will appear on the new desolate planet. At that time, new interstellar routes will also appear. In the future, there will be more sales for industrial equipment made by the Tylenol planetary system, and there will be a steady stream of cheap gold and other rare metals from the planets.
In order to prosper the economy and increase the population while maintaining social order, an intelligence agency was established to manage the external population. And this institution is the Adventurer's Guild. Although the Adventurer's Guild is far inferior to the Mercenary Guild in terms of grade, it is still a group with a certain combat power. Even if the adventurer's combat power is low, he can accept patrol missions, patrol those remote places that the patrol fleet cannot reach, and have the effect of early warning.
Therefore, the Tailen garrison attaches great importance to the Adventurer's Guild, and has invested a lot of computer computing power to analyze all kinds of information that has been collected and returned, and screen out the information that may cause major incidents, and make targeted measures before the outbreak of the incident, so as to achieve the effect of preventing the slightest problem.
According to the analysis made by the computer, the administrator in the adventurer's guild who is responsible for verifying and publishing the task determines that there is no problem with the task release prompt given by the computer, and then publishes the relevant task. The reason why manual operation is required is because the computer can be hacked and tampered with. It would be embarrassing if one day the Tylenol Adventurers' Guild released a mission to destroy Tylenol.
