The hanging basket was being recovered quickly.
It was like a fishing boat floating on the sea, throwing the hook into the bottom of the trench and then pulling it back at a fixed time.
However, how could an ordinary trench compare to the distance between the sky and the ground?
Every patrol ship that followed the operation had two identical baskets to retrieve the energy crystals from the ground.
In addition to being responsible for recycling, the basket also had another function, which was to help the ground forces guide the way.
The patrol ships that participated in the battle were all floating outside the gray fog. They worked together to ensure that the millions of troops on the ground would not be separated.
It was like fishing in troubled waters. The patrol ship was the brain, and the millions of ground troops were the hands.
In the event of danger, the patrol ships could launch attacks at the same time to ensure that the enemy had no chance of escaping.
From the start of the operation until now, the energy crystals had been collected in batches, which proved that the collection effect was quite good.
If they continued to build up the numbers, it wouldn’t be long before the bastions recovered their war costs.
Entering the profitable stage meant that they had already won.
Although such a manual search method would definitely increase the chances of missing something, under special circumstances, there was no way to force it.
The Bastion’s officers knew that the most important thing was to maintain stability, not to start a war.
If they had a choice, the bastions would rather retreat than engage the survivors.
They had long discovered that the survivors on this planet had been acting extremely abnormal recently.
If it were any other planet, it would not be a threat at all after being destroyed to such an extent.
The survivors were struggling on their last legs, and even living was very difficult. It was impossible for them to organize themselves to fight back.
On this planet, however, the situation was completely different. The invincible bastions had suffered a serious blow.
The reserves of energy crystals were in imminent danger, and were even on the verge of ” bankruptcy. this was simply unimaginable in the past.
The bastions had no choice but to use ground forces to collect the materials manually.
It seemed like he had solved the problem, but he didn’t feel good.
The Bastion’s attention was drawn to the planet’s survivors.
If they could seize the opportunity to wipe out the survivors, the bastions wouldn’t hesitate.
As the ground forces slowly advanced, the recovery of the energy crystals continued. The scene of the patrol ship formation was quite spectacular.
Floating above the clouds, it was as if he was traveling in the vast sea.
The only connection between heaven and earth was a thin silk thread that flickered with a faint light.
As the equipment operated, the conical basket was kept into the patrol ship.
The staff in charge of the operation immediately gathered and opened the hanging baskets.
The hanging basket was filled with energy crystals, which were obtained by the ground troops after much effort. They represented the harvest of this war.
With a soft sound, the hanging basket was slowly opened.
Seeing the items in the hanging basket, the staff members were dumbfounded and could not believe their eyes.
The basket that was supposed to be filled with energy crystals was now filled with corpses, emitting a strong bloody smell.
Looking at the clothes and appearance of the corpses, how could the staff not know that these were the ground troops that had been dispatched!
“Gulp
A bloodied head rolled out of the corpse with a ferocious expression.
Such a bloody and tragic scene made everyone’s hearts tremble, not knowing what to do.
these damn bastards! They must pay the most painful price for their actions!
Finally, someone growled. It was the officer in charge of the command.
Looking at the badly mutilated body, he was so angry that he trembled, and his expression was twisted and painful.
Bastions had invaded many planets before, but this was the first time they’d encountered something like this. The residents had been forced to land, and now they’d suffered such heavy casualties.
Looking at the appearance of these corpses, one could tell how much despair they had felt before they died.
There was no way they would remain indifferent to the lives of the Bastion’s inhabitants.
Hearing the officer’s roar, the staff around him also felt sad and indignant.
They had to take their revenge and let their enemies know the consequences of angering the bastions.
The bastions “destruction of the planet and the deaths of its inhabitants were overlooked or taken for granted.
“Sir, what should we do now?”
The staff member asked carefully. Looking at the pile of corpses, he had no idea what to do.
“Keep the bodies and report this to headquarters and the other patrol ships.
At the same time, remind the ground forces to be more careful. The enemy is using despicable means to launch a sneak attack!”
In the officer’s opinion, the survivors must have used a sneak attack, otherwise how could they be a match for the ground Corps?
After receiving the officer’s order, a group of staff members suppressed the discomfort in their hearts and began to move the bodies.
They were wearing specially made exoskeleton armors that could easily carry tons of items and the corpses.
The basket wasn’t particularly big, but it was filled with many corpses.
As they looked at the bloody bodies being carried down, everyone’s hearts grew heavier.
Especially when they saw the familiar faces among the corpses, their hearts became heavier.
During the process of moving, some of the staff members were slightly stunned.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he noticed that one of the corpses seemed to move slightly.
“What’s going on?”
The staff member thought he was seeing things, so he quickly took another look to confirm that there was no problem.
He activated the device to scan, but there were no signs of life.
could it be that I’m too nervous and hallucinating?
The staff member shook his head and prepared to continue moving the corpse. He controlled the mechanical hand to grab the incomplete corpse.
At that moment, the twisted corpse started twitching as if it had been electrocuted.
The staff member was shocked. Just as he was about to back away, the body suddenly jumped up.
Like an agile beast, it pounced on the staff member at lightning speed.
The staff member and his companions were all shocked by this scene.
Their hearts were filled with fear. They couldn’t understand why a dead body would suddenly explode and attack.
The bodies in the basket all bounced up as if they had been electrocuted.
The ghoul’s speed was extremely strange. It was not affected by its incomplete body at all as it pounced straight at the surrounding staff members.
ah! a scream was heard. The staff member who was attacked at the beginning had his neck bitten by the ghoul.
Just as the staff member was struggling and screaming in an attempt to find a first aid kit, the ghoul bit his throat again.
The staff member whose throat had been ripped off was operating the exoskeleton armors that were carrying goods, crashing around the patrol ship like crazy.
This final struggle made the scene even more chaotic.
The other ghouls roared and scurried around the patrol ship, madly attacking the panicked staff.
The screams were endless, and the ground was covered with corpses. It was like a bloody slaughterhouse.
The patrolling Captain, who received the warning, immediately sealed off the area where the incident occurred and sent combat personnel to clean up the area.
In the command cabin of the patrol ship, the image of the incident area could be clearly seen.
Those corpse monsters that had died and resurrected ran at full speed while sticking close to the ground and the roof, chasing and killing the panicked staff.
There was blood and minced meat everywhere, and the desperate screams of the staff kept coming.
Although the ghouls looked terrifying, the commander was confident that he could deal with these strange and fierce monsters.
The real problem was that the enemy was actually transporting the ghouls through hanging baskets.
Did this mean that the ground forces that had entered the gray fog had already met with misfortune?
