Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

Ahead, on the Netherworld, a cluster of egg-shaped spores exploded, and a monster with a fish head and human body, wielding a severely corroded staff, roared. A large number of small terror fish emerged from all corners, surrounding the team.

"The enemy is everywhere, and our soldiers are outnumbered and outmatched. Kid, congratulations! If you survive today, you'll be part of an epic tale!" The gun barrel tapped against the triangular cap on his head. "Bang!"

"Roar!" Gunfire and roars merged into one, weapons clashed, flesh and blood flew, and will and courage transformed into tangible weapons that exploded among the monsters.

"Clang!" Elena used the momentum to take a few steps back, raised her hand and fired a shot, but this Holy Fire bullet left almost no obvious mark on the opposing Sea Prince. "M3!" The black monster caught the little judge, withstood the monster's heavy blow, and then the counterattack launched by its sharp feet quickly tore the Sea Prince apart.

"Don't hold back your firepower and energy, maximum combat mode!" Rosemary's greatsword danced on the ground, her spear blades flew through the air, and the squad kept moving uphill, each foothold quickly covered by smudges and corpses.

Even Kal'tsit, who had always maintained a calm expression, had to become tense. She used various medicines and Originium Arts to quickly stabilize the injuries of the operators on the battlefield, neutralize the corrosive damage they suffered, and control M3 to rescue them from all sides.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Fighting for the Emperor

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

"Boom!" The isolation gate of the administrative district collapsed with a crash. "Get in, all of you, hurry up!" Most of the wounded operators rushed into the tower in the city center, which was Agor's city administrative center. "Down!" Rosemary sensed the passageway space inside the building and found the location of the shelter inside.

"Hurry up, hurry up with your hands and feet!"

"The bombs I left behind won't hold out for long!" W urged the others to quickly enter the basement passage. When the basement door slammed shut, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are some Agorian skeletons here, they look like they starved to death. They ran out of food and water, but there are still quite a few medicines left." The judge who inspected the shelter said that it could only be used for temporary rest and was not suitable as a long-term defensive stronghold.

"Clean up these remains. We'll stay here until tomorrow, treat the wounds, and leave those with more serious injuries to rest. Give them two days' worth of food and medicine, and that's it. If we don't make it back in two days, don't worry about it anymore."

Kal'tsit quickly divided the supplies she had, leaving only two days' worth of rations and medicine for the wounded, as the rest would be used in the subsequent testing area.

“Jordy, have you found anything?” Lumin operated the Agor terminal for a while. “Most facilities are inaccessible, but there’s a small diving dock on the east side of the test area, and there’s a submersible there.”

"Yes, that's our destination. Now, let's rest." The exhausted operators could barely get up after sitting down; the intense breakout battle had taken a huge toll on their physical and mental strength.

Meanwhile, in Kazdel, at the studio in [year], Carmen asked, looking at the artwork on the shelf with a hint of suspicion, "Is this the newbie cannon you developed?" "Isn't it a bit bigger than the previous ones?"

“Yes, the size of the cylinder and the entire gun body has been increased.” Nian took down the silver-white hand cannon that had been painted and placed it on the stand. “It has the same caliber as the original, but I have improved the chamber seal and barrel twist. The gun body has also been enlarged, and rails for installing tactical attachments and subsequent modifications have been added. You can even install a folding stock, which would make the recoil more ideal.”

“I’m not really used to using this kind of thing,” Carmen shook his head, preferring his old companion of over a hundred years. “But it looks pretty good. Could you demonstrate it?”

"Okay," Nian took off his gun and entered the firing range. "The No. 7 Holy Bullet is the smallest standard, roughly equivalent to a shot from an apprentice judge." A molten crater was blasted into the thick target, and the blue gel at the edge burned with flames, but it went out not long afterward.

"To be precise, it's at the level of an average apprentice," Carmen said after observing for a while, stroking her chin. "It's just the average level of an average apprentice. Considering that this attack was made by someone who hasn't been trained, it should be considered acceptable."

The next tests, for the No. 5 and No. 6 Holy Bullets, also basically reached the lower limit of an ordinary Inquisitor. However, the No. 5 and No. 6 bullets were a bit serious. Carmen's slightly indifferent expression became solemn, until the No. 1 Holy Bullet.

"Is this thing really usable by everyone?" He picked up the gun, loaded a No. 1 Sacred Flame round, aimed at the target, and without channeling his own will, deliberately suppressed his instincts before pulling the trigger. The pile of targets, simulating the Sea Siren swarm, of various sizes, shattered into fragments in the explosion of golden flames.

"How long will it take to manufacture a batch of this ammunition?"

"That depends on your raw material reserves and technological level. The nerve contact pulse elements are all the same. The only difference is adjusting the electrical pulse excitation mode inside. Theoretically speaking, the propellant charge of the No. 7 round and the No. 1 round is the same. If you understand the technology of ammunition modification, you can modify it yourself."

"Can we reduce the amount of propellant?" Carmen asked. "Because if the propellant is the same, those little guys will definitely have misfires, and it's also not good for ammunition control." Don't give the newbies too powerful a fireball, that means he might just shoot his mentor.

“Okay, that’s actually simpler,” Nian nodded. “Alright, your order is settled. So, what about what I asked for?”

The artifacts and ancient storage containers collected by the Iberian Tribunal, which were supposed to be delivered in three days, were rumored to contain some parts and technical blueprints that were not installed on the Ark in the first place. However, whether the rumors were true or not depended on whether the items sent by Iberia actually contained these artifacts.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Xia needs two hand-held cannons, the kind crafted by master artisans."

"Good" Carmen, as a saint, had such authority, and the reward was so meager that it could hardly be called a reward.

In Agor city, "Everyone's rested. We have two packs of ammunition left; hopefully, we'll get resupply later."

“It’s best not to have too high expectations. However, we’ll pass by Agor’s weapons factory along the way. If we’re lucky, we should find something left over.” Kal’tsit examined the map in her hand. Near the test area, there was a place where Agor manufactured weapons for the Deepsea Hunters.

Because these weapons use special alloys that will cause a rejection reaction in the sea cells, it is unlikely that the deep-sea cultists will loot the area, but it cannot be guaranteed that these facilities will not be damaged.

“This is the most troublesome expedition I have ever experienced.” The Grand Inquisitor lit his lantern, held his sword, and walked out of the escape tunnel. His face was full of fatigue, and even after a day of rest, he could hardly recover his energy.

“This might be your last time in this life.” Kal’tsit led Rosemary by the hand and let M3 lead the way. This tough-skinned Originium monster was enough to withstand most surprise attacks.

"Getting ready to open!"

"Wait a minute!"

"Huh?" Elena paused for a moment, but had already pressed the open button. The next second, a torrent of putrid seawater rushed into the entire passage, the rolling water flowing towards the end of the passage.

"Grab me!" Jody grabbed Alene and lifted her up. Rosemary and Kal'tsit were beside her. This was another exit of the passage. A torrent of turbid water flowed beneath the iron structure, rushing in other directions along the passage.

"It looks like the exit is completely submerged."

"The water level isn't too high yet." Agor's city has many cracks, and large amounts of seawater have flooded into the city, forming large pools in the low-lying areas. The cracks are very obvious, covered with dense seawater marks like crisscrossing scars.

As the deep blue biomass writhed, milky white flowers slowly grew. The petals opened, and the wet, newborn sea creatures fell into the seawater below, where they were surrounded by their kind, enjoying their shared flesh and power, and quickly grew into new sea monsters.

"Looks like we need to change our route. Is anyone missing?"

"No, Jody brought everyone up."

"However, the problem now is that the water level is rising."

"W, can it be blown up?"

"Without a structural diagram, there's a chance we'll all be buried alive."

"That's better than them all drowning, let's do it!" A few minutes later, on the street near the factory, "Boom!" With a deafening explosion, water shot into the sky, and then the exploration team members were seen crawling out of the breach, completely soaked and covered with a lot of dark blue Netherworld debris.

“The Nether Trace Tissue reinforced the structure, so it didn’t collapse. However, it’s best not to be so rough next time.” W checked the area around the blast hole and breathed a sigh of relief. There was a lot of Nether Trace Tissue between the rocks and the metal. This tissue prevented her directional blast from collapsing the entire street. If that had happened, they would all have been buried underwater.

“This looks like the factory, and we seem to have…” Jody looked at the administrative district behind her, “Saving a lot of time.” “Don’t take this shortcut next time,” the Grand Judge said, wringing his clothes.

“There are no enemies inside the factory,” Rosemary said, pointing to the factory buildings not far away. She had not sensed any trace of enemies.

"But we're surrounded by enemies, hurry up and get in!" Elena had already seen the huge Netherworld structure covering the high walls of the test area, and the egg sheaths that swayed slightly like tender buds on them.

"Come in, it's safe inside!" Kugen shouted. The group rushed into the factory. He pulled the gate shut and wrapped it with iron chains several times. No one could say for sure what use this kind of defense was.

Argoor's Deepsea Hunter Factory is a standard easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack building. The entire exterior wall is covered with a layer of anti-mafic alloy coating, making it difficult for the sea creature's mafic to adhere to it. The entire building has only an entrance at the bottom and no windows.

The strange structure made up of dark gray cubes of various sizes gives one the feeling that although there are no enemies inside the building, danger is certainly not out of the question.

Although the building as a whole looks extremely safe, the row of floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor and the beautiful, spacious lobby do not give people any sense of security.

"Move your stuff out and make a roadblock, we're in trouble!" The various chairs, benches, and cabinets in the abandoned office were moved out and piled up at the entrance and on the two staircases leading to the second floor in the lobby.

"The ground is shaking, and a large number of sea creatures are approaching!" The sprouts quickly hatched, and a dense wave of grayish-white terror fish and deep blue sea monsters rushed towards the building.

"W, can your weapon reach that point?"

“Yes, but it’s useless!” W took a look with the shoulder-fired missile launcher, but ultimately gave up. The Nether Polymer covered most of the test area, and its bottom was estimated to have pierced through the rock and the city’s waterproof dome. It was growing from biomass from the outside world, making it a living urban area. A missile would only provoke the enemy and serve no purpose.

"Click!" Jody persisted in her duty, taking a picture of the Netherworld Organization. Several tentacles extended from the strange, dark blue flesh-and-blood fortress, connecting to the dome and covering the cracks, with seawater constantly splashing onto this mass of biomass.

Unlike the smooth, scaly flesh and blood of the Netherworld and the Sealing, this mass of matter was covered with short, coarse black and blue "fuzz," each of which was an incubation pod.

"Don't stay outside, come in!" Kal'tsit found the control panel and pressed the button. Layers of security barriers slowly descended, blocking the main door and the windows on the first floor.

How long will these fences last?

"3"

"3 minutes"

"2......"

"Damn it! Everyone grab your weapons and aim at the entrance. Wounded and medics, head to the third floor. W, have you set your bomb?"

"It's been triggered!" Several explosions rang out outside the door. The next second, all the fences rattled loudly as swarms of terrifying fish pressed against them.

The metal structure of the fence was visibly deforming; several fasteners snapped off, and the metal louvers were torn apart. A dinosaur, brandishing its tentacles and claws, tried to squeeze in.

"Bang!" The Sacred Flame pierced through it, blasting half of its body into dust. Even though Elena tried her best to concentrate, the long battle and fatigue had reduced the power of her weapon by at least half.

The remains of the terror fish were quickly devoured by their own kind, and even more terrifying monsters squeezed in from the ever-widening cracks. The makeshift roadblocks held up for even less time than the fences.

"Fight while retreating, retreat upwards!"

"And then they were all stuck on the rooftop?"

“…” Kal'tsit glanced at the High Inquisitor, then took out a crossbow. “Escape via the top zipline directly to the docks, or do you want to try breaking through the Sealing army head-on on the ground, then storming their nest and entering the core of the test zone?”

"This isn't part of our plan?"

"Part of our target is the laboratory inside the abyss, not this one outside." Indeed, no one wants to cut through the Sea King's army unless all the Deepsea Hunters are gathered here.

"The first floor can't be held! Retreat to the second floor!" As an elite mercenary, W decisively used the essence of mercenary tactics: give Luda a quick way to enter the second floor, rely on the terrain to resist for no more than 1 minute, and then have to retreat to the third floor.

"Watch out for the fire doors!" Kal'tsit remotely controlled most of the building's public facilities.

"Block the gate and bring over more stuff!" The operators frantically grabbed all sorts of random things to block the falling protective door, while W casually planted a few bombs on the walls and ceiling.

"It's no use. The passages here are too complicated. If we block this place, other places will be breached as well." There wasn't even time to burn Hai Si's corpse, which means that no matter how many Terror Fish and Hai Si are killed, it will ultimately be meaningless.

"Search this floor, set up as many traps as possible, and look for useful information and supplies. Let's go up to the next floor!" The upper floor is the production and maintenance area, where there should be quite a few Deep Sea Hunter weapons. As for whether they are usable or whether these people can lift them, that's another story.

"boom!"

"There are Deepsea Cultists, they're attacking the building's exterior!" Hai Si couldn't cling to it because of the Agor alloy, but the Deepsea Cultists were a different story; their Agor ranged weapons were constantly bombarding the building's exterior walls.

As the shattered metal and building structure continued to collapse, a small passage was soon revealed. Countless dinosaurs piled up together to form a tower of flesh and blood, and more dinosaurs and sea monsters poured into the building through the gap.

"The fourth level has been breached; a terror fish has entered!"

"Hold on!" Compared to the Terrorfish, the Deepsea Cultists were much more difficult to deal with. A Rhodes Island operator had just cut open the Terrorfish's body and hadn't even had time to dodge when a shot from the Agor ammunition took away half of his head.

"Sniper! Don't approach the gap! W!"

"Whoosh!" "Boom!" Stones flew everywhere, and the gap turned into a pile of collapsed rubble. However, a small part of the ceiling above also disappeared. A cultivation chamber fell down and smashed to pieces, rolling out a corpse with half a sea creature and half a human body.

“Deepsea Hunter… these must be failures. Haven’t you opened the armory yet?” “I’m working on it!” Jody, the only Agor technician in the team, was trying his best to dismantle the armory’s verification structure. “I’ll give you one minute, or we’ll have to retreat.” The lower fireproof passage had been torn apart, and more Terrorfish were rushing towards the stairwell.

"It's open!"

"You actually managed to open it?"

"This verification equipment has been broken for a long time; all we need is..."

"No need to explain. Anyone whose weapons are broken or who doesn't have any weapons, come over here. Take whatever you can carry!"

"No ranged weapons?"

"Nonsense, of course not, Huang, it's yours!"

"Great!" As an operator who came to reinforce W, her weapon was already broken; chainsaws break very quickly. "How do you use Agor's weapon?" Blaze looked at the halberd-like weapon mounted on an extendable rod.

"Use your will!" Jody shouted, "Use it the same way as the Inquisitor's weapon!"

"Willpower, willpower..." The deep blue metal began to glow, and the blade made a buzzing sound. "It's done!" Huang swung the blade at the sea monster in front of him with force. The blade easily separated the flesh and bones, and the sharp teeth bit down. The motor operated at maximum power, and the hard sea monster bones were broken open little by little. The blade also became red-hot.
