Interstellar Survival: Invasion - Chapter 306: Excessive Chaos

On our screen, we could see the drone swiftly approaching the light wall. It stopped 100 meters away from the wall and 200 meters above the ground. There, the drone unleashed a green beam at one of the pillars. The part of the light wall the beam touched changed into the same color as the beam, and the two blended together.

“Are you attacking already? Are you not scared of being discovered by attacking so slowly? Just release a missile and run,” said Zhang Bao’er.

“Do you think the wall of light protecting the city in the sky is so easy to penetrate? I have my ways of doing things. Just watch,” replied Temo.

Hearing how confident Temo was, nobody dared to question him. But even after waiting about 10 minutes, the light wall had yet to be penetrated. Instead, the green started spreading across the wall, the color becoming brighter and brighter.

“Star-level guy, what is this? Dodo is running out of time,” questioned Old Du.

“The empire’s light wall technology can’t be easily penetrated. We only have a single shot at it. These walls are made of a certain organic compound. They will automatically spread energy toward the weakened part in the event of an attack, ensuring that the wall would not break. But if a part of the wall is overloaded with energy, the energy will start overflowing,” said Temo.

“You mean the drone is creating the overload? When the overloaded state is intense enough, will it launch a sudden attack before the organic compounds can revert to their previous condition?” asked Baron Sisse.

“It is truly surprising that a planet-level individual can come to this understanding. Yes, and the greatest weakness of the wall is penetration. The moment it is pierced through, the organic compounds will take some time to repair the tear. Our opportunity is coming,” said Temo confidently.

After waiting a few more minutes, the beam released by the drone suddenly turned bright red. The change was too sudden for the wall to react, and a chain reaction happened as the red spread rapidly along the wall into the sky.

After the red spread, a blinding yellow erupted. After a few seconds, the light faded away. Our scans indicated that the light wall protecting one of the pillars had vanished completely. Darkness descended, and an ear-piercing hiss rang out around us. Our scans showed that the constantly changing “ground” was rising rapidly along the exposed pillar.

“Temo, what is this? I thought you were going to make a small hole. Why did you destroy the entire section of the wall?” asked Zhang Bao’er anxiously.

“Is your tech even reliable? You mess it up the moment we let you do something.” Domo did not let go of the chance to step on Temo.

Even amid the darkness, I could sense Temo panting heavily beside me.

“Shit! I did not expect the kg ray to be so powerful. It overloaded all the organic compounds in that section of the wall. I think I overshot the amount of chaos I intended to create,” said Temo helplessly.

“Commander, commander, the super virus is suddenly attacking a part of the city. All the combat robots are rushing over to help. We took the chance to sneak in, and we’re now in the city. Beautifully done,” Dodo’s excited voice came from the communicator.

“Dodo, complete your mission as soon as possible. Watch out for the super virus,” said Zhang Xingxing.

“Don’t worry. The attacked area is already covered in a new wall of light. The super virus won’t affect us. Bob and I are searching the area. We’ll update you when there is a new finding. We’ll maintain radio silence for now,” said Dodo.

“Since the super virus is creating so much chaos, I suggest we also take this chance to enter the city,” I made a brave suggestion.

“But we can’t be sure if the red biscuits can really work against the super virus. Wouldn’t it be dangerous if the biscuits fail? We’re better off waiting for Carter’s reinforcements. We should just focus on information gathering,” suggested Wind Spirit.

“We have less than 11 days. We will waste too much time waiting for Carter. I suggest we grab this chance,” I insisted.

“I agree with Canyue. This is a rare chance. Let’s just do it,” said Zhang Bao’er.

Before Zhang Xingxing could give a reply, a violent explosion erupted from the drone’s direction. I could see on the screen that our drone had been destroyed in one hit from the super virus on the pillar.

“Damn that virus! It destroyed my drone!” Temo appeared rather agitated to see his drone destroyed.

Immediately, the eerie laughter we heard previously returned.

“Canyue, your ally is here. The fiend of Pluto has actually appeared,” exclaimed Master Crystal in excitement.

The laughter approached from afar. Our system detected a large silhouette madly attacking the super virus on the pillar. Without a doubt, the large silhouette was the fiend of Pluto. A fierce column of flame shot out of the fiend’s mouth, illuminating the super virus’s body. With the light from the flame, we could see a disgusting tentacle resembling a caterpillar wrapped around the pillar. The intense fire lit the tentacle wrapped around the pillar aflame.

“Good thing we formed an alliance with this fellow. Otherwise, one hit of the red beam when we were taking off would have been enough to kill all of us,” I said, feeling some lingering fear in my heart.

“I really can’t believe this super virus is a single-celled organism,” said Master Crystal in disbelief.

“That super virus doesn’t look so special, after all. Should we attack with the fiend? We should just destroy the monster,” suggested the warlike Anxashe.

“Do not act rashly. The fiend merely gained the upper hand by sneak attacking. If even the robotic army is avoiding the super virus by building a base in the sky, the super virus is definitely not so simple,” said Temo. His concern was understandable.

Temo was proven right a few seconds later. The burning tentacle dropped off the pillar, and an even larger tentacle rose from the ground. The new tentacle was triple the size of the previous tentacle. It soared into the sky, splitting midway to attack the hovering fiend.

Even the powerful fiend was forced to avoid the attack. Amid the darkness, we could clearly see a blue flame light up within the fiend’s body. Through our probes, we were able to witness the battle between the two monsters clearly. Temo continued insisting on not joining the fight rashly.

“Canyue, you promised the fiend an alliance. It is now fighting the super virus, yet we’re only watching. That’s something an oathbreaker will do,” urged Zhang Bao’er anxiously.

Just as I was about to request for Temo to attack again, our system indicated that a fleet of ships was coming from the city in the sky. Shortly after, the fleet entered into a formation around the pillar and attacked the super virus wrapped around the pillar. The intense firebombs lit the super virus aflame yet again. However, the flame was not even comparable to the fiend’s attack and failed to stop the super virus’s advance.

The fiend took the opportunity to release another beam upon the super virus. But no matter how it attacked, we noticed that the fiend was keeping a distance from the super virus and avoiding direct contact.

The situation wasn’t looking very good for the fiend as the blue flame seemed to be spreading around its body. Not even the constantly devouring organs within its body could stop the spread of the flame.

The situation continued to worsen as a different fleet appeared and attacked the fiend. The fiend turned around and unleashed a beam of flame at the fleet, sending a drone to the ground. The other drones evaded nimbly. The fiend managed to hit more of them, but through our system, we could see that more and more robotic reinforcements were coming.

The badly injured fiend understood that this was a rare chance to destroy the super virus. It decided to ignore the robotic army and resumed its attack on the super virus while taking the damage from the blue flame and the robotic army.

“Temo, time for us to make a move. If you keep hesitating, we will really miss this chance,” urged Zhang Bao’er.

“Commander, this is an opportunity. We should create an even bigger ruckus. Perhaps Dodo and Bob can even save the great sovereign directly,” I said.

“Temo, this is a rare chance. We can prioritize attacking the super virus. It would be great if we can somehow destroy it,” said Zhang Xingxing, who was finally convinced by my persuasion.

“This is not the time for charity. Eliminating a super virus trapped on Pluto will not help much when it comes to saving the league. The moment we make a move, we will expose ourselves. If you’re willing to risk the numerous lives of your people to fulfill your promise to a monster, I’ll play along,” said Temo. His words were too rational. We found ourselves speechless.

Immediately, another surprise appeared. I suddenly heard a loud thud. Through my laser probe, I saw that Master Crystal had collapsed onto the floor.
