Chapter Eighty-Four: The Battlefield

"Everyone, be careful!" Lias said on the communicator, telling the workers who stayed here to find a place to take refuge.

The "Hammermen" team led by Britz and Megill split into two groups, guarding the east and west sides of the refinery.

After discovering the shaking underground, they immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and Murphy's law is indeed true, whatever they are afraid of comes.

Britz attaches a high-velocity nail gun to his arm, a kinetic weapon with a rate of fire of hundreds of rounds per second, which is very effective against ordinary creatures.

Sure enough, after a series of violent tremors, the sandy ground beneath the ore refinery suddenly collapsed, revealing the stout foundation columns and oil and gas transmission pipes beneath the refinery.

Immediately afterward, the desert below seemed to boil, and the sand kept tumbling, making the yellow sand obscure the sky.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Britz issued combat orders in the communicator, and at the same time turned the screen in front of him to creature target mode.

In this mode, the inanimate and living forms are separated, and the sandworms that are making waves in the sand are highlighted on the screen.

"Shoot!" At the sound of an order, countless bullets and shells flew towards those sandworms, and the sound of impact and explosion suddenly filled the entire desert.

Although the sandworm has rough skin and thick flesh, in the face of heavy firepower, it was killed in an instant.

A few magazines came down, and the desert, which was still in full swing just now, soon fell silent.

There were a lot of sandworms that came to make trouble this time, countless corpses were wrapped in the yellow sand, and the body fluids oozing from the corpses of sandworms soaked the desert.

Looking at the puddle below the ore refinery, which almost condensed into a small lake, Lias couldn't help but be amazed: "This new set of armor is very powerful, and the 'marine' armor is nothing compared to it." ”

After the war, Lias sent a message to the "Divine Sleep" base, requesting a "high-dimensional projection scan".

As a result of the scan, two new drill bits from the ore refinery passed through the sandworm's nest, which is why the riot occurred.

After being beaten up by the "Hammer Man" team, the rioting sandworms all scattered, seemingly abandoning the place to find a new nest.

Seeing that on the refinery's operation panel, both drill bits had found new oil and gas veins, Lias clapped his hands excitedly: "Very good!" As a result, we can quadruple our 'High Energy Liquid Gas' production! ”

The great tremor drew the Xerxes stationed at the station, and Brutus arrived in the multi-legged machinery assigned to their tribe.

When he saw the small lake formed by the dead sandworms, Brutus was impressed by the big ones who had just come down from the station.

These days, Brutus has thoroughly realized the firepower superiority of modern equipment.

Whether it is a multi-legged chariot or the armor of the "marines", they are terrible weapons that the Xerxes could not imagine before.

And now, what he thought was the most sophisticated weapons and equipment turned out to be outdated on the side of "Journey to the Underworld".

"Mr. Lias, what's going on?" Since Brutus is here, at least go through the motions.

Lias turned over from the refinery's platform, and now the refinery's foundations were a mess, and it would take a lot of time to clean up.

"We don't know the situation, but it's incredible that these sandworms are coming to attack us for no apparent reason."

Brutus knew that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, why didn't the sandworms attack sooner or later, just waiting for this heavily armored team to arrive and attack the ore refinery immediately?

But now it's someone's territory, plus ...... The reloaded squads weren't easy to mess with, and Brutus didn't say much.

"Then, Mr. Lias, you still have to be careful, the desire of the sandworms to attack is directly proportional to their deaths."

"You have killed and injured so many sandworms here, and it is likely that you will be attacked more strongly by the sandworms in the future, so you must prepare for defense in advance."

"More sandworms?" Lias immediately thought of the scan results that had just been sent back from the base.

So, the sandworms didn't flee to other nests, but to move the rescuers?

"Bigger sandworms...... Patriarch Brutus, how big is the biggest sandworm you've ever seen? "Lias wanted to ask first, and he had a good idea.

Brutus shook his head: "The real giant sandworms only exist in legends, and we have only seen the traces left by them. ”

"According to speculation, the giant sandworm is almost ten meters in diameter and more than two or three hundred meters in length, it is a real monster, you have to be careful."

With a diameter of more than ten meters and a length of two or three hundred meters, this body is larger than Owo, and Lias can't help but be speechless.

In addition, these sandworms are said to have a certain connection with the blood god, and Lias suddenly has a bad feeling.

After consulting with Britz and Megill, it was agreed that the battlefield should be moved, at least to an area other than the ore refinery.

Everyone immediately started to dig out all the sand mixed with the corpses of the sandworms and moved it to a place five kilometers away, and even the small lake was drained overnight and sent to the new place together.

It's a lot of work, but it's worth it for the safety of the ore refinery.

After a long day of work, Britz and the others finally prepared this fake battlefield, and their current mood was a little complicated, hoping that the giant sandworm would appear, and that the giant sandworm would not be hooked.

After all, if you really have to face a giant sandworm that big, it will definitely be a fierce battle.

At night the next day, when the sky gradually darkened, everyone guarding the edge of the fake battlefield felt a slight tremor under their feet.

The tremor grew stronger, and then the dunes beneath their feet shook like chaff.

The whole desert was flattened by the shaking, and the rolling sand dunes and sunken basins all shook into plains.

"Everybody report the situation!" The neighborhood had already been emptied of bystanders, and Britz shouted over the communicator to check on the other team members.

The voices of the team members sounded in turn in the communicator, and this level of "earthquake" could not affect them in the armor of the "Hammer Man".

"It's still the same as before, everyone is divided into two groups, and the one with me is now assembled in the direction of three o'clock."

"One with Megill, stay at six o'clock, ready for fire support!"

After assigning the task, Britz stepped on the pedals, and the seemingly heavy "hammer hand" armor immediately began to run nimbly.
