Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

Its biggest advantage is that its storage box and driver's locker are large enough, which means that Xia Lin can carry a lot of things, and the carrying platform on its back can also be used to bundle up a lot of things.

"The hull is damaged by more than 5%, unable to connect to the ship's terminal, a Star Alliance citizen has been identified as a survivor, the emergency rescue protocol has been approved, and boarding is permitted." The semi-circular head opened to the sides, revealing the single-person cockpit inside. Xia Lin jumped into the cockpit, and the hatch closed automatically.

He had learned to drive this type of vehicle, although he didn't have a driver's license or work permit, but his father did, and he had learned some skills while helping out at home.

The magnetic disk is activated, four sets of robotic arms are deployed, the power and fuel status of the industrial engine are checked, a general self-test is performed, and finally the robot detaches from the fixed platform, with its six suction cup feet standing firmly on the sloping metal floor.

"Still within the scope of dynamic balancing processors..." The tilted cargo ship and the gravity from the angle caused "Hercules" to automatically adjust its posture to avoid unnecessary sliding and body tilting.

Before heading down to find the target item, Xia Lin first disassembled the damaged vehicles and exoskeletons, mainly removing their nuclear batteries and other superhuman reactor fuel rods. Then, she used a mechanical arm to lift a broken alloy pillar and smash it several times against the open cockpit and control panel to confirm that the core quantum chip was destroyed before operating the superhuman to move down.

The fracture that had previously required some effort and time to repair was no problem at all for this type of vehicle. As they moved, Xia Lin scanned the cargo box labels with the onboard scanner. The filters Xia Lin had set up filtered out all harmless cargo contents, such as the most important items—the space industry framework and the space station framework.

Filter out all items and set "stone bricks", "industrial equipment" and "medical devices" to alarm mode.

There weren't many stone brick crates in the warehouse, and Xia Lin couldn't be sure how many of them contained smuggled compartments. The vehicle-mounted scanner was insufficient to bypass its anti-scanning isolation layer, so the only way was to determine its weight.

This took so long that by the time he reached the gate, the Shield Guards guarding the gate had already begun engaging the Ursus forces. Perhaps fearing the Shield Guards' weapons that could cause significant damage to the fleet, they chose to deploy ground troops on the opposite side, flank around from behind the fallen cargo hold, and then launch an attack from above.

"Come in quickly!" Xia Lin called out as he opened the gate. He moved a magnetic cargo box to the side of the gate, which became a platform for the Shield Guards to jump in and land.

"Get in!" Ivan shouted, leading the remaining men through the gate and onto a cargo box some distance from the door. The thick alloy gate slowly closed, blocking all enemy crossbow bolts and spells beyond the 40-centimeter-high alloy barrier.

"Phew, man, this thing of yours is pretty cool!" Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Xia Lin's Hercules vehicle and jokingly said, "When are you going to get me one too?"

"Let's talk about it another time. I'm going downstairs to find something. Oh, right..." Xia Lin opened the first aid kit in the cockpit, took out a first aid bag and tossed it over. "Treat the wounds. Use the spray and injection for minor injuries, and use that medical gel for serious injuries. Yes, that's it."

These civilian emergency medical devices are designed for user-friendliness; even the injections are contained in an air pump-type automatic injector. Simply press it near the wound to inject 200 million units of medical nanomachines into the body.

The other bandages and hemostatic gels were also foolproof equipment; Ivan learned how to use them without much effort. "They're really good. If we had these back then, we could have saved a lot of lives."

"I'm going downstairs to look for something." The entire Warehouse No. 7 is made of stone bricks and frames, with almost no valuable goods. As for the stone bricks, we haven't found a second smuggled container yet. I wonder what the situation is like in the section of the warehouse below the middle section.

The lower part directly impacted the ground, and the damage was much more severe than that of the upper part. Even if there was any equipment inside, it was probably completely destroyed.

It must be said that even with wide-area scanners and declaration labels on the containers, checking five rows of containers stacked to the ceiling is still an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

However, they don't need to worry about Ursus's attack for the time being. Xia Lin sealed the outer gate and the upper airtight door. Even if the Ursus people bring in an industrial cutting machine, it will take them a while to cut.

Besides, it seems they don't even have the power to drive industrial cutting machines, so let's just wait and slowly cut until the end of the world.

The damage started to become more severe in the middle section of the cargo warehouse, but the heavy and sturdy airdrop track remained intact.

However, most of the airdrop pods hanging on the ceiling fell down, smashing the equipment on the floor and making it crooked. Then, these airdrop pods rolled down the sloping deck and into the corner, where they were stacked up one by one.

The good news was that the medical station and control station were on the other side and were undamaged. Xia Lin first checked the condition of the medical station, which was not very optimistic. The medical pods and equipment were mostly intact.

However, the raw materials and medicine storage area was broken, and the precious nanofluids and medicines were scattered all over the place, obviously contaminated and no longer usable.

While Xia Lin was working on her husky project, the Fourth Legion finally recovered from the chaos.

“The casualties… are simply beyond imagination.” The young staff officer was covered in cold sweat. “I can’t imagine what weapons those rebels used.”

"Stop with the nonsense, how's the Akul?"

"The hull itself is basically intact, but it needs major repairs. The weapon and control systems have been damaged to some extent, but compared to the loss of personnel, the damage to both the Akur and Gore assault ships is negligible..."

When the 418th Armored Division, which came to reinforce, entered Akur and those silent warships, they were completely horrified by the terrible scene inside.

The Akur was relatively unscathed from the bomb blast zone; the people and metal were mixed together into an indistinguishable mass of debris, as if it had been hit by a heavy mortar, which was still within everyone's comprehension.

Those bears that crashed into the bulkhead, were pierced by metal objects, or had their heads smashed by tools can also be understood.

After all, when a land-based ship brakes suddenly and collides with something, the unprotected crew members inside are likely to die in a similar way.

However, the sight of those corpses lying in rows, without a single wound on their bodies, with only pinkish-white "snot" flowing from their ears and nostrils, and only two black holes left in their eyes, sent a chill down the spines of the Ursus people who went in to search for them.

"The number of survivors on all the silent ships was less than ten, and most of them suffered very severe concussions and internal organ damage..."

"So, does that mean the 412th Division lost two-thirds of its combat strength and more than half of its command personnel...?"

This is probably the biggest loss Ursus has suffered in recent years. The entire Fourth Army only has two such armored divisions. Losing two-thirds of its combat personnel is basically the same as losing its designation.

Especially when the entire command, including the division commander, was reduced to corpses along with the crew of the Akul.

"The enemy only landed two shots and caused such terrible consequences... We absolutely cannot let them escape! Bring the landships over and surround this place, not even a fly can get out! They can't stay in here forever. Also, have the engineers tear down this damn door!"

The other side did not use that weapon again, either because they were out of ammunition or because they were too close to fire.

"Everyone, aim at the breach and the ruins. If anything seems amiss, fire!" If we can't seize this powerful weapon, then destroy it.

"Bang bang bang!" The metallic footsteps echoed in the aisle between the containers, creating a dull and shocking sound, like a subwoofer playing heavy bass in front of your face. The footsteps stopped near the gate, next to the standing platform made of stacked containers.

"So, how was it? Did you find anything?"

"One thing, everyone change into these shoes and come with me..." Xia Lin tossed the magnetic shoes that had been collected from the workers' protective suits to Ivan and told them to put them on.

"Everyone, put on your shoes. What's the point of these shoes?"

"The soles of the shoes are magnets, which will allow you to stand firmly on the metal surface. There are too many things below, so I need some help."

Xia Lin thought it would be too troublesome to explain the principle of the magnetic shoes to these guys, so she simply said that there was a magnet underneath, since it wouldn't make much difference anyway.

"Bang!" Ivan, who was the first to finish changing, stood on the sloping deck. Sure enough, his feet were firmly planted on the ground. Apart from the slightly awkward perspective and the angled gravity that forced him to lean back to avoid falling on flat ground, it felt almost the same as being on flat ground.

"Get dressed, everyone, and follow me!"

"This ship is really big..."

"Yes, the Windrunner, with its hull measuring 3 kilometers, is like a small city."

"I can imagine," Ivan said, turning on his tactical flashlight and scanning the cargo crates on both sides of the passage. The Terrans were quite knowledgeable about giant constructs and were not surprised at all.

"Can you tell me what's inside this?"

"They are all frameworks; you can think of them as... the framework and keel for building mobile cities."

"Is it really a good idea to leave these things to Ursus?"

"Oh no, but we don't have anything to destroy them..." If we detonate a nuclear bomb right here, apart from the epicenter being vaporized, the rest of the frame and keel within the kill zone will survive.

"You've found both the medicines and the medical devices?"

"We found a part of it, but we don't know if it's usable. But right now we need to dismantle and destroy the more important things. You don't want the Ursus people chasing after you with those old weapons, do you?"

"Oh, not at all, that's a nightmare!"

As the group passed through the central control area, the Shield Guards noticed obvious signs of damage.

"Don't doubt it, I did it. It's best if these things don't fall into the hands of those Ursus people, or we'll both be in big trouble."

Xia Lin removed all the circuit boards in the control room, and even pulled down a portion of the superconducting cables exposed due to the ceiling panel falling off, stuffing them into the cargo wagon of the Hercules.

However, removing the superconducting cables from the entire cabin would be too much work. Even if Ursus opened the cabin and gave him full access, it would probably take at least three to five years to remove them safely.

"I dismantled all the cables, fuel rods, and battery boxes. I feel like I'm interning as a Star Alliance ship dismantling worker..."

“Star Alliance?” “Ah, you don’t need to worry about that. Really, it won’t make a difference.”

Xia Lin was telling the truth: with Terra's technology and military strength, there was basically no room for resistance; they would be dealt with completely.

The cost of resisting an extremely xenophobic interstellar civilization that still retains characteristics of a military government is something they cannot afford.

Although the Terrans may have undergone genetic modifications, their physical strength and combat awareness are exceptional.

However, it's important to understand that if we were to fight the Covenant, even if the latter didn't burn glass or turn "homes into mines," it would clearly demonstrate a truth—how can flesh and blood contend with steel?

Planetary-level ground strategic deployments consist of autonomous combat drones in the hundreds of millions. Moreover, once you kill one hundred million, the orbital mothership can manufacture two hundred million more using scrap and satellite minerals. If the elimination speed is a bit slow, it may be more than two hundred million.

This is all based on the premise of not using gray tides, orbital bombardment, or neutron cleansing, and preserving the planet, its buildings, and civilian lives relatively intact.

In an extermination war, without orbital fleets and interception systems, the battle typically lasts 2-3 hours.

It was completely shattered by the barrage of the Bronze Dragon strategic missiles. One hour and forty minutes of the two hours were spent on loading missiles and preparing for launch.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Hunting Operation

Chapter 39

Because Xia Lin removed all the reactor fuel rods in the central control area, including the spares, and even dismantled the core components of a spare small reactor and destroyed the graviton confinement device of the large reactor, even if Ursus reoccupies this wreckage, they won't be able to find anything useful inside.

Even if they were lucky enough to find spare parts in a corner that Xia Lin hadn't had time to thoroughly clean and inspect, and even if they were incredibly lucky enough to assemble them by sheer chance, they still wouldn't be able to start those three shipborne independent electric reactors.

The Terrans might be able to get a little bit of deuterium, but forget about helium-3. Xia Lin took all the fuel rods, pulling them all out regardless of whether they were usable by herself.

Not only that, he also ransacked the workers' rest room, work area, engineering cabin, and tool room, taking all the batteries, tools, spare parts for protective clothing, and medicines and first aid supplies from the wall-mounted medical kit.

He took a few smart terminals, smashed the rest into a pile of fragments with a robotic arm, and then used an industrial welding torch to burn the emptied medical station and all the other sites inside and out. He wouldn't say it was completely beyond repair, but at least from the perspective of an amateur ship repairman, the shipyard would usually recommend replacing it with a new one to cover the extent of the damage.

On his way to the warehouse, he cut all the cables he saw along the way. As a result, before he even got there, the Lux's internal cargo compartment was already full, and he had to fix some of the collected supplies to the cargo platform.

"The old guys at the Academy of Sciences will be furious if they see you doing this..." Ivan complained as he watched Xia Lin wreak havoc through the cabin.

Despite his complaints, he didn't hesitate to use the axe in his hand to chop down a panel that read "Equipment Maintenance Hatch".

To facilitate manual disassembly of deformed and jammed panels during crew repairs, the internal linings and panels of the spacecraft were much weaker than the external ones; even Ivan's axe could cut a huge gap in them.

However, once the lining is removed, the exposed piping and maintenance nodes reveal the normal strength of the starship. Without the right tools, it would take at least ten days to two weeks to leave any marks. But since they were focused on sabotage, they didn't need to contend with the underlying armor buffer layer.

Anything that looked fragile was dealt with using a hammer and axe. After Xia Lin helped them find some wire cutters and utility knives, the efficiency of the destruction became even higher. Any gaps or pores were found, opened, and the utility knives were poked in and stirred a couple of times.

If the cable can be pulled out, pull it out. If it can't be pulled out, cut off the visible part. If it's long enough, roll it up and throw it on the shelf. If it's too short, just throw it on the ground. I guarantee that any electrician in Ursus will have a stroke just looking at all these long and short, thick and thin cables on the ground.

Let alone superconducting condensed matter cables, even ordinary metal cables could cause them to experience elevated blood pressure or even trigger epilepsy.

The destruction continued, and the debris was collected in the hold, the area most severely damaged by the impact. Most of the cargo containers had detached from their supports, and the entire hull in front was twisted and deformed, almost turning into a flat piece of metal debris.

"Thump! Thump!" Li Shi flicked a few sticky light sticks between the container and the frame. "Don't worry about those that fell down there, we don't have time to lift them up. Open all the containers around here and move the contents of them to this platform."

Xia Lin refers to a stacking platform consisting of a large section of floorboards that has been lifted up and a temporary welded support frame.

What's in here?

"I don't know. The labels on the boxes say they contain engineering equipment and daily necessities, and there's another box with medical supplies. I don't know what's inside. So, we have to unpack them and check them one by one."

"Alright, did you hear that, guys? Let's get to work!"

Half a day ago, the attack on the Forbidden Valley outpost and the disappearance of the search team did not deter Ursus. More squads headed towards Forbidden Valley and the farms behind it. Some of them found Springstown, and after showing off their power, they headed further north.

Some of them did head towards the farms and water sources, and they captured many local guides, determined to find all the traitors.

"Another group is coming." Yelena saw three or four Ursus men rushing along through the scope. They looked like a regular army. "Trouble!"

"Bang!" The air currents whipped up the tender white, shoulder-length hair, and the unmistakable gunshot startled a flock of birds. In the narrow field of view of the scope, the fine head instantly disappeared from the lens with a cloud of blood mist.

"Enemy attack!" The squad leader's fall instantly put the entire squad into a defensive counterattack stance.
