Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

"But it's no use." Yelena snagged her next target. "Bang!" This time it was a warlock. The electrothermal bomb bypassed his mask, burrowed into his neck, tore off a small part of his neck, and disappeared into the trees behind him.

"Bang!" The crossbowman who had been shouting "Don't panic!" fell down, leaving only the heavily armored soldiers frantically fiddling with their shields, unsure of which enemy to defend against. "Bang!"

My calf went numb, and I couldn't feel my leg at all. As I knelt down and exposed my body, the last gunshot rang out, and I was shot in the chest and abdomen.

"Click!" White Rabbit ejected the empty magazine, checked that the battery was still in good condition, replaced it with a new magazine, picked up the gun, and ran quickly to the next location.

A small, greyish-white figure leaped and ran among the bushes, like a nimble and agile rabbit, except this rabbit was a man-eater.

With its slender and strong legs moving rapidly, leaves, branches, and bushes flashed past like afterimages as the white rabbit galloped freely through the snowy forest. Its small, still-growing ears were stretched into two wavy lines by the wind, and its tender white hair flew behind its head.

"Pfft!" The white rabbit lunged into a bush, and after catching its breath a few times, its breathing gradually calmed down. "Peter, I don't see the squad you mentioned, Peter? Peter, can you hear me?"

"Tsk!" The white rabbit suddenly rolled to the side, a ball of magic flying overhead and hitting a tree. "We've fallen for their trap!"

Two Ursus vanguards pounced on the White Rabbit from their hiding place. As the elite of the First Legion, after being ambushed and sniped so many times, they would naturally try to counter-ambush the enemy's snipers.

Initially, they failed due to misjudging the sniping distance. After several failures, they readjusted their strategy and this time they cornered the damned sniper at the only sniping spot with a good view.

The axe struck Yelena precisely. She only had time to throw her rifle to block it, then scrambled backward to avoid it. She quickly drew her short-barreled shotgun from her waist and fired two shots at the vanguard in front of her, smashing his entire front to pieces.

Before they could reload, the second vanguard rushed up, grabbed Yelena by her rabbit ears as she turned to run away, and dragged her backward to the ground.

"Look what I caught! A damned rabbit. Come on, don't struggle, let me chop off your rabbit head and stick it on my spear!" Vanguard grinned maliciously, raising his axe and swinging it down fiercely at the girl in front of him...

"Froststar, Froststar! Yelena, are you alright!" The hunters from the Yeti Squad, who had rushed into the clearing after hearing the gunshots and noticing something was wrong, were stunned by what they saw.

Frost spread outwards in a radial pattern, trees were frozen and cracked, crystalline sap tore through the bark and burst outwards, and the ground was covered with wavy icicles that spread outwards like sharp teeth. In the middle of the white frost, Yelena lay half-reclined next to a completely frozen corpse.

The corpse was frozen in a pose as if it were holding an axe and chopping down, with a sinister smile still lingering on its face.

She clutched her shoulder, blood soaking her clothes. The burst of Originium Arts saved her from beheading, but the axe had cleaved half of her shoulder open.

Fortunately, I had a first-aid kit with me. The hemostatic gel inside greatly reduced the risk of arterial rupture. With the nano-therapy needle and adrenaline that I had just received, at least my life was temporarily saved.

"Take my gun... let's go back." Yelena's face was pale. Although the painkiller had taken effect, the massive blood loss still made her feel dizzy, especially from the wounds that had come into contact with the Originium particles.

The monitoring alarm on the bracelet was already red, meaning that she had triggered Oripathy symptoms again.

"Froststar, you're infected!?"

"Okay! Grab my gun, let's go! They're setting a trap to catch us, let's go back to the farm and hold out!"

Meanwhile, the First Legion squad that was searching also received news from the rear that the rebels had launched a counterattack, causing great casualties and damage to the Fourth Legion. They were now trapped in the ruins by reinforcements, and there might be their leaders among them.

The First Army Corps decisively abandoned its guerrilla warfare against these suspected decoy forces in the woods, began an orderly withdrawal, re-established its defensive line, and rushed to reinforce the battle near the excavation site.

"Alright, last bag of stuff, we can head out now..."

"What should we do with all of this?" Inside the opened boxes were protective suits, personal electronic devices, handheld tools, batteries that couldn't fit, and a whole bunch of other miscellaneous equipment, medicines, and even industrial raw materials.

"Push them down there..."

"That's such a pity..."

Do you want to get hit by this thing?

"Okay, guys, push it down!" Ivan kicked the cargo box, sending the box full of outdoor work clothes tumbling down the sloping ramp onto the garbage heap at the bottom.

"Alright, hang yourself on the side of the carriage, we have to go." Xia Lin drove the Hercules onto the elevator platform and had the Shield Guards fix him to both sides of the cargo platform, like a human anti-armor.

"There must be a hail of bullets waiting for us outside..."

“Who says otherwise?” Xia Lin turned on the elevator’s backup power, and the closed door of the top lifting platform of the cargo warehouse slowly opened.

What should we do with these things? Leave them here?

"Of course not. I didn't expect them to have mining blasting tools inside, so I buried a mining graviton bomb at the bottom with a 90-minute timer."

"You packed bombs and daily necessities together in one box?" Ivan was dumbfounded.

"Of course not, that's industrial equipment, and it's very safe."

It's so safe that it doesn't need a special way to start. Whether you heat it with fire or hit it with a hammer, it won't explode even if you break it because it's essentially an instantaneous high-intensity gravity generator.

What is the radius of destruction?

"Who knows? That's why I set the timer to maximum! Hold on tight!" The Hercules vehicle, now mounted on the cargo bay's spine, retracted its suction cups, switched to wheeled gliding mode, and sped down the 70-degree inclined deck.

"This is the most thrilling bus ride I've ever had!"

"The most exciting part is yet to come!"

"Boom!" Upon discovering that they had driven out in a strange vehicle, the Ursus land fleet opened fire without hesitation.

They weren't afraid of damaging the ruins at all. According to the records, the thing was incredibly sturdy. Thousands of people worked on it for months, using every tool imaginable, but they couldn't even make a single hole before they had to build scaffolding to try and get in through the gap.

The Hercules isn't a particularly agile vehicle, but its small size and ability to quickly switch between six-wheel and six-limb modes make it as nimble as a cockroach in ruins and debris-strewn excavation sites. "And here comes the more exciting part!"

"Boom!" The four rocket engines ignited. The engines, used for rapid movement in the vacuum and approaching the repair target, were not enough to make it fly in the atmosphere, but they could still make a short jump.

"I'm flying! Ahhh!"

"You should have shouted 'Jump up!'" The warrior flew dozens of meters and landed at the edge of the excavation pit. Not far away, Ursus armored units rushed towards it, with ballistae, mortars, and even the Originium-enhanced cannons on the land battleships, operated by a dozen or so warlocks, firing spell shells at them.

"Let's go southeast and circle back along the salt flats. Is this thing fast enough?"

"Not fast, but it can exhaust those idiots behind it!" Nuclear fusion power, long endurance, and surging power, can keep those Originium-burning guys chasing it until their engines explode when speeding across the wasteland.

"Cooling? Doesn't this thing need cooling?"

"Do you think I didn't remove the coolant when I dismantled the power equipment? And they quickly lost interest in chasing us. Remember that bomb?"

"But you set it for an hour and a half!!"

"I'm not even sure if we can get out of the blast zone in an hour and a half!"

"Suka! Tell me honestly, what is that thing!"

"Mining bombs used to blast mountains!"

"I told you to tell the truth!" Ivan angrily pounded on the cockpit. "Don't try to fool me!"

"It's a bomb that blows up mountains, literally... something that can shatter an asteroid several kilometers in size, just don't know if it's a large or small bomb."

"Literally...I...Sukabrüt, hurry up!"

"I'm already going at top speed!"

"Watch out!" The strongman spun sharply and jumped sideways to avoid a falling magic projectile. The blue, unidentified ion sphere expanded, engulfing the surrounding matter and leaving a molten crater.

"Their weapons aren't weak either!"

"That's an Originium Amplification Cannon, a weapon that can combine the Originium Arts of dozens of casters and launch them after being amplified by Originium machinery."

The operator is like a consumable weapon; "You can't fire more than a few shots. Hey, there are enemies ahead, go around them!"

In the desolate wilderness of central Ursus, dust billowed as massive tracked vehicles rolled across the barren land, surrounded by small assault units and armored vehicle groups. They formed several convoys, intersecting and chasing a small black dot ahead from all directions.

The continuous firing of light orbs, crossbow bolts, and mortars, along with the explosions and engine roars, echoed throughout the wilderness. The mining villages and towns in the central region were alarmed by the commotion and fled south at top speed, abandoning their garrison mode. The entire north-central part of Ursus was thrown into chaos. The commotion caused by the two armored divisions could not be kept secret from anyone.

Frankly speaking, using such a large military force to chase after only a dozen or so people is really contrary to common military knowledge and the basics of military command.

Moreover, it is absurd to arbitrarily use so much manpower and material resources to encircle and suppress them in a manner that is almost like waging a civil war and a large-scale campaign!

However, this suited their political needs. The excavation site was invaded, two-thirds of an armored division was wiped out, countless noble officers died under mysterious circumstances, and these rebels were still at large, even stealing what appeared to be valuable equipment from the ruins, in addition to the threat posed by the devastating weapons they had previously used.

This isn't about chasing a small group of traitors; it's about chasing the strategic weapons and remnant technologies in their possession. It's like running away with a whole bunch of strategic-level Dongfeng missiles; the force chasing you might be more than just two divisions.

If these people are not captured or eliminated, it will be impossible to explain to the emperor, and it will also be impossible to explain to the dead noble officers, not to mention the huge problem of dereliction of duty that will follow.

“We probably can’t take a detour. We’ll have to rush straight into the Iberian border and then run north along it…”

"Iberia?"

"A very... strange country. Ursus won't chase them across the border" because they can't beat them, and even if they did, they'd lose their pants. Iberia is a coastal country, powerful in combat but poor.

Chapter 40 How many floors does a bag of rice need to be carried up?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Iberia is the southernmost country on the continent of Terra, and theoretically, it should not share a border with Ursus.

However, Terra's borders are different from those on Earth; they are defined by the waterways of land-based ships and mobile cities.

Iberia is the only country that can build large floating cities and ships in its coastal waters.

Therefore, according to Terra's conventional division, all coastlines belong to Iberia, unless you think you can defeat their "invincible armada".

"So, what you call the border and the territory of the Iberians might actually not have a single Iberian at all?" Xia Lin asked curiously. The political and geographical divisions of this place were indeed quite interesting.

"Yes, but Ursus doesn't dare to go there. Besides the possibility of encountering the Iberian fleet at the coast, there's also the possibility of encountering some... monsters. However, it's precisely because there isn't a single Iberian there that we took the detour along the coastline. I don't want to deal with those Inquisitors."

"Judge, is it the Inquisition of Aliens or the Inquisition of Heretics?"

"No, wait, isn't it almost time for that thing to explode?" On Ivan's watch, the minute hand had already passed the red line.

"Yeah, could it be a malfunction? A dud is bad!" Xia Lin was also puzzled. The 90-minute timer should have passed by now. Had she set the detonation settings incorrectly, or had something else happened?

Inside the farm, Yelena took off her clothes, revealing only a thin vest that showed off her slender, rounded waist and cute little belly button. Her delicate fingers pulled open the thin straps on her shoulders, revealing a deep wound that exposed the bone.

Although hemostatic gels temporarily block the wound, they do not have the function of repairing blood vessels and restoring blood flow. The area around the wound becomes noticeably swollen and dark due to platelet aggregation and inflammatory response.

"Automatic emergency treatment initiated. Patient, please remain seated..." The wall-mounted medical terminal unfolds two robotic arms. A scalpel cuts open the cyst near the wound to release the contaminated blood. The filamentous nano-repair robotic arm begins to probe into the wound, using bio-gel to construct connections to the main blood vessels and restore the tissue's blood supply.

Meanwhile, emergency nanotherapy agents and fluids began to be injected into the body through an IV drip on the wrist. Soon, the wound on the shoulder was treated and wrapped with a thin, breathable sterile bandage.

Without anesthesia, Yelena was in so much pain that her face turned pale and she was covered in cold sweat. Cleaning the wound and draining the inflammatory abscess were extremely painful.

However, as the nanofluid covered the wound, the pain in the shoulder wound was greatly reduced, leaving only a persistent tearing pain that would last for a long time as the nanomechanical repair of the body and nerve damage continued.

After treating the wound, Yelena checked her bracelet. After another round of dialysis, the Originium particles had been reduced to a safe level again.

However, I will need to take the medication regularly for a period of time to break down the Originium components in my food.

This luxurious treatment for Oripathy is currently only available to her. There is only one dialysis machine, and the medication is only an auxiliary treatment. The synthesis of the medication is extremely difficult, and only Xia Lin can complete it.

After putting her clothes back on and tidying her hair which was stuck together with sweat, the white rabbit opened the workshop door and went out. Most of the other Yeti team members went back to help evacuate the elderly, weak, women and children who were not capable of fighting.

Because Ursus is constantly approaching this area, those who are unable to fight will not fare well if they are discovered.

"Where are the Ursus squads?"

"They seem to be turning back. I don't know if this is some kind of trick or the start of a larger attack..."

"Then we'll..."
