Chapter 236 The Mission of Group 12
The sky was as blue as the sea, cloudless and windless. The boundless sea of ​​sand was like a mirror, reflecting dazzling silver light. The ridges of the dunes were like solidified waves, layer upon layer, stretching endlessly.

This is a forbidden zone for life.

A giant steel behemoth races across the desert; it is a large war machine that is over 5 meters high and 10 meters long.

Six enormous wheels spun rapidly, kicking up clouds of dust. Upon reaching a mountain hollow, the steel behemoth made a graceful stop, gliding hundreds of meters through the sand before coming to rest at the bottom of a sand pit.

Inside the tank, a woman's voice rang out: "Reporting to headquarters, Land Mobility Battalion Team 12 has arrived near the target. Team Leader Firefox, mission objective confirmed."

"Command received. Mission briefing: Investigate the cause of the abnormal gathering of star worms in the vicinity, locate the nearby nests, and guide 'Heaven's Wrath' to attack."

"Firefox received! Mission accomplished."

The brief call ended.

The quiet car interior became noisy.

Inside the spacious vehicle, there were seven team members, all sitting at the control panel, each with several display screens in front of them.

"I hate working overtime! Why does an emergency have to happen?! Why does it have to happen near our team?! Waaah..." The little girl complained, lying on the control panel.

A chubby man lay on the operating chair, staring at the ceiling and muttering to himself, "Cake...cake...chocolate cake..."

The others were in similar condition, half-dead and in extremely poor mental state.

"Everyone, just bear with it a little longer. This operation has yielded quite a few contribution points. We'll go have barbecue when we get back," the young man in the passenger seat reassured everyone. Then, he looked at the red-haired beauty in the driver's seat and asked, "Captain, where do we begin?"

Firefox glanced at the radar, which was empty. She then commanded, "Activate silent mode and proceed directly to the coordinates. The large-scale gathering of Star Worms must be attracted by something. Our actions will go unnoticed."

The team's morale was low.

The tank started up again and headed in one direction, but at a much slower speed, making almost no noise as it drove.

After traveling several dozen kilometers, the vehicle's radar started to react.

The little girl shouted, "Captain, judging from the frequency of the reflected waves, it's a swarm of golden beetles, and there are so many of them!"

Firefox said, "Let's keep going."

The convoy continued forward.

Everyone was staring at the radar.

Numerous red dots appeared, converging towards a single point.

The vehicle stopped, its top opened, and a metal rod rose and began to rotate, projecting holographic images in all directions, perfectly concealing the vehicle.

Then the side window opened, and more than a dozen palm-sized drones flew out, humming as they soared into the sky and headed toward the gathering place of star worms to conduct reconnaissance.

The little girl and another person put on VR glasses, held joysticks, and remotely controlled a drone for aerial photography.

The reconnaissance footage was projected onto other people's monitors.

As the drone approached.

They also clearly saw the center of the swarm's vortex.

"There's a person in the middle!"

"This godforsaken place? Are they the Fallen Ones? They're fighting like dogs again. Captain, let's just fire a cannon!"

"No, they're not fallen, they seem like normal people."

Someone exclaimed.

As the drone approached and the image was magnified, the team members were able to see what was happening in the center.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

A stunningly handsome young man, dressed in an unfamiliar outfit, wielded a silver-gray longsword with dark red patterns, slaughtering through a swarm of golden beetles.

His speed is so fast that his movements are impossible to capture on camera; only the brief pauses during an attack can capture his actions.

Each strike of the longsword could easily cleave the golden beetle, which was the size of a small truck, in two, and a casual blow could send the beetle flying hundreds of meters away.

He's a true god of war.

A one-sided massacre.

"This...this is a golden beetle! The half-meter-thick biomass composite layer is fake? You can't even penetrate their shells without armor-piercing bullets."

"Wow...so strong! This is at least a viscount-level expert, right?" "I feel it's more than that. I've seen Master Beilun make a move before, and he wasn't this elegant."

"He's so handsome! I want to have his babies!"

"Look! There's another beautiful girl over there!"

The camera immediately rotated and was positioned not far away.

A dozen or so golden beetles formed a circle, united against the outside world, preventing other golden beetles from getting close. In the beetle nest, this was a pure land.

Among these golden beetles, on the back of the largest one stood a silver-haired beauty wearing a black and white Lolita dress, black stockings, and platform high heels, holding a parasol.

"So beautiful! It's like it stepped out of a painting."

"She's not human, look, she has rabbit ears!"

"No wonder it looks so good."

"What a strange combination."

"I've never heard of a powerhouse of this level on Paradise Island."

"Are you stupid? Look at their clothes, they're obviously not from Paradise Island, they're strong people from the ground."

"In this day and age, are there any other humans on earth besides the Fallen?"

"Perhaps some nomads."

"Captain, what do we do? Should we intervene?"

The team members all looked at Firefox.

Firefox remained silent; she was a renowned ice queen on Paradise Island.

Firefox frowned, her beautiful face filled with seriousness. Her slender fingers tapped the control panel, and she made a judgment: "It should be a congenital awakener with abilities in physical enhancement. In battle, go all out and don't be stingy with ammunition."

"OK!" "Yes!" "Handsome guy, I'm here! Hehe!"...

The team members got excited and started operating the control panel in front of them. Several people put on VR glasses and picked up a control device.

The tank extended six mechanical legs, which were fixed to the soft sand. Its top deformed, revealing a huge square cannon barrel.

At the same time, the rear hatch opened, and three mechanical dogs the size of buffaloes jumped out and rushed into the battlefield.

Small windows on both sides opened, continuously ejecting drones, quickly forming a large swarm of drones.

Some drones participated in the battle.

A group of them stood guard around the tank.

The main gun began charging.

A dazzling blue light converged and was unleashed, striking a region within the Starfly Vortex.

The blue plasma bomb landed, instantly turning the star worms within a radius of tens of meters into charred remains, and melting the sand into a pool of molten glass.

A swarm of drones launched a self-destructing air attack.

As the three mechanical dogs approached, their bodies transformed, and they stood upright, instantly becoming humanoid robots over 2 meters tall. They produced two ion blades and began close-quarters combat, methodically attacking the golden beetle's joints and crevices, dismembering it.

It was already a one-sided massacre, and now it's ending even faster.

The plasma cannon fired three shots, eliminating half of the golden beetles; the rest were slaughtered by other means.

The battle is over.

Three humanoid robots approached the two, and all the drones withdrew.

Firefox looked at the screen.

The two remained calm and even put away their weapons, observing the SW-4 Hound robot without any apparent concern about being attacked.

Firefox cleared his throat and pressed the call button, saying, "Hello, we are Team 12 of the Paradise Island Land Mobile Squadron. I am the team leader, Firefox. Heading east from here will lead into Paradise Island territory. May I ask who you two are and where you come from?"

On the screen, the handsome young man gave a charming smile and said, "Hello, Captain Firefox, my name is Mo Yu. I am a nomad from the Northern Continent. I have come here to join Paradise Island."
