Chapter 61: Kill the Wolfman!
As a long-range attack type of super unit, Ju Ling's melee count was few and far between.
In this battle with Half-Beast, she was determined to hold him down at all costs and not let him escape, despite sustaining many wounds. This did not shake Ju Ling's fighting spirit.
Other soldiers could not intervene in Ju Ling and Half-Beast's battle. If they opened fire, Ju Ling would be the unlucky one, as her defense was far inferior to Half-Beast's.
Ju Ling had no choice but to use some lighter injuries to gain the opportunity to stop Half-Beast. Otherwise, if Half-Beast escaped, the plan would be a failure.
Her only consolation was that Half-Beast had no brain and low intelligence. He only thought that his transformation time was about to end, so he subconsciously wanted to escape. After all, his state would rapidly decline after transformation.
Ju Ling saw this and used her injuries to stop Half-Beast. This seemed to give Half-Beast the illusion that as long as he hit Ju Ling once more, she would be finished.
But her injuries were too severe, causing Ju Ling's agility to not be as high as before. When Half-Beast's claw came down, Ju Ling was just about to dodge when suddenly her wound was pulled, causing intense pain and momentary paralysis. She couldn't dodge anymore.
"Finished."
Just as this thought crossed Ju Ling's mind, a voice came from above: "Beast, get out of here!"
Before she knew it, a shockwave pushed Ju Ling away. However, the shockwave did not harm Ju Ling, but Half-Beast was not so lucky. He was punched out by Guangtou Qiang, who had descended from the sky.
At this critical moment, Guangtou Qiang finally arrived!
"I'll hold him down, you make the fatal blow." After speaking, Guangtou Qiang rushed over and fought Half-Beast.
As a melee type of super unit, Guangtou Qiang's combat power was quite astonishing. In a short time, he was evenly matched with Half-Beast.
Unfortunately, he was only cool for three seconds. Guangtou Qiang's level was still too low, and he sustained many injuries. However, his expression did not change, and he continued to hold down Half-Beast.
Ju Ling did not waste any time and decisively took out her Soul Slayer, aimed, and fired.
Bang!
A gunshot sounded, and Half-Beast, who was fighting Guangtou Qiang, suddenly had a blood hole in his right shoulder. Guangtou Qiang did not miss this opportunity and punched him, causing the wound to enlarge.
Half-Beast screamed. Although his defense was strong, the pain did not disappear. Guangtou Qiang's fist was not a joke.
At this point, Half-Beast had long wanted to escape, but how could Guangtou Qiang let him go?
As a melee type of super unit, Guangtou Qiang's combat power was extremely astonishing. With one punch, even a Sixth Order early Mutant Beast could be beaten. If it weren't for Half-Beast's extremely strong defense, he would have lost to Guangtou Qiang long ago.
Su Chen watched the two's cooperation quietly, consuming Half-Beast's energy. Finally, Ju Ling's bullet hit Half-Beast's head directly, causing it to explode.
Half-Beast was dead.
At the moment of Half-Beast's death, System's voice sounded: "Congratulations, Master, on completing the Level 6 Authority Mission. Commander authority has been upgraded to Level 6, and you can freely teleport between bases. Teleportation requires a certain amount of energy."
Su Chen was overjoyed. He did not expect the Level 6 Commander authority to be so practical. If he had had Level 6 authority before, he could have instantly teleported Guangtou Qiang to the Sub-base. He would not have needed to let Guangtou Qiang take the Black Hawk aircraft to the Sub-base.
Not to mention wasting time, the most troublesome thing was delaying the aircraft.
If it weren't for Ju Ling holding down Half-Beast for two hours, even if Guangtou Qiang had gone, it would have been useless.
After Half-Beast died, his body was recovered by the soldiers at Ju Ling's request. Sub-base lost many soldiers this time, and the walls were also damaged, but there were no other major problems.
Overall, this time was not a loss.
"With this upgrade in authority, I can finally build a combat laboratory. With this place, engineers can conduct research and development. Maybe we can study something from Half-Beast and those grasses," Su Chen thought.
He immediately had the Sub-base establish a combat laboratory, using energy to erase the construction time. He could not wait to start having them conduct research.
Soon, a towering building appeared in the Sub-base. It looked like a modern urban building, but inside were top-notch experimental facilities with various research equipment.
With the combat laboratory, engineers were naturally indispensable. They were the most critical research personnel. Su Chen waved his hand and directly created 500 engineers to work day and night on research.
With the addition of the combat laboratory, he believed that the engineers' research speed would not be slow. The research results here and the things Red Alert system produced were not conflicting and could be used interchangeably.
In other words, when the engineers really figured out why that grass could shield the Radar effect, once applied to the Rift Generator, the Rift Generator's effect would be stronger, just like when the core was strengthened before.
But these two effects could be stacked.
Thinking of this, Su Chen felt a little excited. He looked forward to the engineers' research results.
With the combat laboratory in the Sub-base, the main base naturally could not lag behind. He also established a combat laboratory and created 100 engineers to conduct their own research.
In addition to the combat laboratory, this time, System unlocked almost all units, except for super weapons and a few rare units. He could build almost everything.
The ore refinery was essential because it could refine ore and increase the energy produced by the ore by ten percent!
Do not underestimate this ten percent. Every day, the energy obtained through ore was at least nearly 15,000. Once increased by ten percent, it was an additional 1,500 energy per day. This was not a small amount.
Naturally, both the main base and Sub-base built ore refineries, erasing the construction time with energy. A building similar to the ore refinery appeared next to it.
Next was something that needed to be built urgently, the repair shop!
Soldiers could recover from their injuries through their own healing, but units such as tanks and armed helicopters could not repair themselves.
After the previous battle, there were many damaged tanks and aircraft. Engineers could repair them, but their repair speed was too slow. It might take them a day and night to repair one injured tank or aircraft.
Only the repair shop could quickly repair these combat units. The repair shop was essential.
