Chapter 21: Mutation

The hurricane has not yet dissipated, and the Isle of the Dead is still shrouded in strong winds.

The three transport planes that had risen from the fleet of the United Federation were able to fly extremely steadily in this harsh environment, and the exterior of the cabin was invariably surrounded by a light cyan psionic light curtain, directing the approaching air flow to the periphery.

Obviously, since you can come up with a meteorological weapon.

The United States had anticipated the consequences and responded first.

Nearly a month of blockade and exploration has given them a good grasp of the key areas on the Isle of the Dead.

Without any extra search cruises, the three transport planes went straight to their destination against the remaining whirlwind.

Crossing the scorched black earth ravaged by the wind, as the leader of the team, John's eyes had already locked on the base in the woodland in front of him, but when he saw the appearance of this base, he couldn't help but tighten his brows, and his face was gloomy.

Before he arrived, he had looked up information about the operation, and knew that the United Federation had already opened up and built a base on the island for research with its strong defense force and a group of superheroes.

However, what appeared in front of him at this time was a withered ruin, a ruined wall full of ruins.

One of John's purposes was to restart the base.

Use it as a landmark to announce the reoccupation of the United States by the United States.

But the dilapidated scene in front of him made his plan completely bankrupt before it began, and he was naturally annoyed.

Undead monsters will only attack living creatures, and have no interest in dead objects, and the perimeter of the base itself has been specially protected.

If you can become like this, you don't need to think about it to know that a certain fleet has set this area as a key target.

"Report sir, no undead monsters have been found around the landing site."

Someone in the communication channel reported it, and John couldn't help but pout.

A place that can be specially cared for by an entire aircraft carrier fleet, if there are undead monsters that can survive, it will be hell.

But to some extent, this can be regarded as clearing the obstacles for them.

"What about the situation in the area where the rift in the other space is located, can it be detected?"

As the transporter descended, John's gaze cast through the window to the hills near the base, which were one of the few highlands on the entire island, and the Alien Rift was among them.

The research department of the United States had previously done some research in it, and the study had their arrangement.

Although the bombardment covered the entire island, the hills were specially reinforced and should have been able to survive the massive explosion.

In fact, they had been tested before they came, and the results were pretty good.

It doesn't matter if the base is gone, as long as the situation in the area where the rift is located is normal, the mission of this trip will not be considered a failure......

"Sir, we've lost all equipment signals in the area where the Alien Space Rift is located!"

The sudden debriefing interrupted John's thoughts once again.

"What did you say?"

Accidents appeared one after another, and John, who was in an increasingly bad mood, turned his head to stare at the technician next to him, stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar and asked,

"We dropped bombs, not signal jamming bombs, even if we were hit by an explosion, how could we not receive any signal!"

"I'm sorry, I'm ...... This shouldn't be the case, the equipment we have placed in the area where the rift is located is the best of the best, and it can function normally even if it is disturbed, as if there is some kind of energy that will isolate ......"

The young man holding the computer faced the coercion from John, his face turned pale, and he said incoherently.

"Rubbish!"

Realizing that the situation was irreparable, John didn't bother to pull it off, threw the person back into the seat, turned to look at the cabin operation team, paused, raised his hand to open the communication channel again,

"Transport planes 2 and 3, everything is normal on the scene, preparing to land at the predetermined location, the situation of the different space rift is now stable, the internal equipment is well preserved, I need you to go in and open the closed door, my team 1 is responsible for the perimeter defense, resisting those spoilers who may arrive at any time!"

Ignoring the stunned gaze of the technician on the side, John immediately adjusted the channel and contacted the driver instead.

"Don't rush down yet, let them explore the way."

As the leader of this operation, John has more than just strong strength.

A steady stream of bad news made him quickly realize that the situation on the island of the dead seemed to be more complicated than expected.

Standing in front of the window on the side of the cabin, watching the other two transport planes land first, two Transcendent troops belonging to the allies rushed out of the cabin and quickly rushed to the base inside the hill where the rift in the other space was located.

Their movements went smoothly and there were no ambushes along the way.

"Land!"

Giving the order, John stood at the hatch first.

The transport plane descended to a position about five meters above the ground, the turbines on both sides were activated, hovered in mid-air, and the hatch opened.

"Proceed as planned upon landing, immediately open the signs, set up a defensive line, and prepare the airborne troops on the fleet to enter the field and block out any transcendents who try to probe the situation of the rift in the other space."

Compared to other countries, the United States undoubtedly had a great advantage in this operation, and even allowed them to skip the process of surveying and go directly to the final step.

In his opinion, as long as the territory is divided, other competitors can only follow behind them and eat ashes.

Raising his hand to make a cross on his chest and pointing his finger on his forehead, John whispered a few words of prayer, and took a step forward, and when he landed, his whole body shone with a brilliant golden light.

By the time the light had dissipated, a set of heavy, gold-trimmed pure white knight's armor had been dressed, and a two-handed heavy sword with a particularly sacred and luxurious appearance hung from its back.

This makes John look like a paladin.

The other players who came later also had their own performances.

Reflections from the searchlight projected by the transport aircraft.

There are wizards who summon undead skeletons to devour the remaining dead spirits in the surrounding environment and clear a safe area; Armed with a heavy firearm, half of his body presents a mechanized modified person; A shirtless man with a swelled body and a vague beast.

According to John's orders, these people dispersed to the surrounding area at an extremely fast speed, and stationed in a fan-shaped manner outside the hill where the rift in the other space was located, checking for possible dangers in the surrounding area.

John, who was the leader of the group, walked to the gate leading to the inside of the hill.

The two teams of Transcendents who landed first had already entered it.

If nothing else, he'll find out what's going on in a few minutes.

The most important thing now is to hold the external line of defense and prevent anyone from forcibly breaking into the information of the rift in another dimension.

Drawing his greatsword and standing in front of him, John's gaze slowly swept over the surrounding area, revealing charred trees and the bones of the undead that had been shattered by the hurricane.

Occasionally, some of those who barely survived only stood on the bare surface covered in night.

With the artillery coverage of multiple fleets and the meteorological weapons prepared by the United Federation in advance, it was normal for the Isle of the Dead to become such a scene, and John had predicted it in his mind before he came here.

But when he really stood on this scorched earth, he didn't have much sense of stability in his heart.

The instincts he had exercised from wandering between life and death made him feel that something was wrong.

The right foot subconsciously crushed the grass roots raised by the hurricane between the dirt, and after a short thought, John suddenly seemed to think of something, and opened the communication channel again,

"Report on the current movements of the cunning rabbits, where did their transport plane land?"

The so-called 'cunning rabbit' is naturally the transport plane where Yan Jing and the others are, and it is also the only enemy in John's eyes who is qualified to wrestle with them.

It is precisely because of this that he suddenly inquired about the movements of hostile targets at this critical juncture.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand what the problem is.

As long as you know the enemy's movements, you can reverse the deduction to check and fill in the gaps for yourself.

"Cunning Rabbit is currently ...... Sir, they are still hovering in the sky! ”

The intelligence officer's words were a little surprised, and he replied with some hesitation.

You must know that in their pre-war exercise, the cunning rabbit should set off as soon as the weather weapon is over, and compete with them for the control of the location of the rift in the other dimension.

This was also confirmed by previous drone observations, with transport planes from both sides approaching the Isle of the Dead at almost the same time......

Even if it is affected by strong air currents, how can it stay in the air for a long time?

Not to mention that the hurricane has dissipated.

The remaining whirlwind is simply not enough to interfere with the transport aircraft of the military!

No, they must have sensed something! ’

Although John was quite confident in his own strength, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could make the other party retreat without a fight.

Realizing this, John immediately switched channels and wanted to give orders to the rest of the team.

However, at the moment when John raised his hand to put it on the earphone, the undead qi surging under his feet quickly attracted his attention, and he hurriedly raised his feet and retreated, looking at his feet.

I don't know when, under the ground that was lifted.

The gray-blue breath of the dead spreads like the rhizomes of trees.

In John's perception, an unprecedented amount of majestic energy was surging underground, and what was brewing in them......

"Hey, watch your feet, attack!"

Sensing the crisis, John plunged his giant sword into the ground with both hands, and the dazzling holy light instantly erupted, melting the approaching undead and alerting the nearby team members at the same time.

It's too late!

John's voice had just fallen, and before the wizard who was concentrating on manipulating the undead skeleton not far away could react, an undead breath gushed out from all around him.

Crush the psionic barrier he used as a defense, enveloping him all over!
