Chapter 2905: Emergency Transition
Chapter 2905: Emergency Transition
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Hmm?
Fang Heng rubbed his chin.
After thinking carefully, a ship really was a good thing.
It could carry a lot of items across different game worlds, and it could link up with the spawns’ mainframe, easily allowing items to be transported via the transition system.
If he could get one...
So where did the Federation get their ship from?
It should have been exchanged from the spawns, right?
Does that mean, if he could raise his player honor level to a certain degree, he could also exchange a ship from the spawns?
That made sense!
But ships should be expensive, right?
So, he still needed to keep saving money.
Just as Fang Heng was contemplating, a harsh alarm suddenly rang throughout the entire ship.
"Warning, warning..."
"The ship will set off in 5 minutes for a local transition. Estimated transition time: 5 seconds. Please move all personnel to the main ship’s safe area immediately."
"Warning, warning..."
"4 minutes and 30 seconds until transition..."
Huh?
Local transition? What does that mean?
Fang Heng froze, not quite understanding, when he saw the Federation soldiers in the hall showing serious expressions, gripping their weapons, and taking positions at the main ship’s entrances.
Fang Heng asked, "What’s going on?"
"The ship is making an emergency move," one soldier replied, his face serious. "Mr. Fang Heng, please remain here and wait for the transition to finish."
As he spoke, several officers and their teams entered the main ship’s domain, gathering in different areas to stand by.
Seeing a familiar officer, Lieutenant Kunji, Fang Heng asked, "Kunji, what’s going on with the emergency transition? Did we run into some trouble?"
"We’re not sure," Kunji replied, "Emergency local transitions are rare. Since this is a local transition, I think the front line might be facing a crisis, and the whole ship is needed in battle."
As the countdown entered the final minute, the metal safety doors inside the main ship began to fall.
The atmosphere inside the main ship became eerily quiet, with only the sound of heavy breathing filling the space.
It was a tense atmosphere, as if a major battle was about to begin.
When the countdown ended, Fang Heng immediately felt a slight tremor beneath his feet.
Five seconds later, a prompt sound rang out inside the ship.
"The ship has completed the safe transition."
"Ka, ka, ka, ka..."
The safety doors throughout the hall opened again.
Then, a familiar voice echoed over the ship’s broadcast.
"Everyone, this is Captain Gorn. The warship will officially enter the main battlefield in 5 minutes. Please prepare for battle. Any teams not yet in the ship’s combat sequence should go to Deck C immediately to gather and receive their mission."
The team leaders of the Federation immediately began to act, forming up their teams and hastily heading to the battle preparation area.
"Fang Heng, my team is responsible for the ship’s attack positions. I’ll take my subordinates to Deck B to execute the mission," Kunji nodded at Fang Heng. "I need to go now."
"I’ll go with you," Fang Heng thought, since the situation was unclear, it would be better to go with Kunji to the deck and check things out.
"Alright."
Kunji didn’t waste time and immediately led his subordinates toward Deck B.
Soon, Fang Heng followed Kunji’s subordinates to the left side of the ship’s deck.
Standing on the deck, Fang Heng squinted as he looked out at the scene.
In just five seconds, they had already transitioned with the whole ship to the front line.
At this moment, the ship hovered in midair, and in the distance, the Federation’s defensive line at the front of the insect swarm could be seen.
Large swarms of insects were relentlessly charging towards the Federation’s defensive line.
The Federation’s defense immediately launched a dense barrage, obliterating massive portions of the insect swarm.
Fang Heng observed from afar.
He had already heard from Colette several times about the dire situation at the front line. It was clear from today’s scene that it would be difficult to deal with.
The number of insects was terrifying, and from the front, the insect-covered area was a thick, endless mass, with waves upon waves constantly emerging.
It was impressive that the Federation had managed to hold them back so far.
"Buzz..."
The ship emitted a buzzing sound, and a faint barrier appeared around it, floating in the air as it began to advance slowly toward the battlefield.
Kunji ordered, "Enter battle readiness!"
"Yes!"
The ship’s deck combat zone provided turret firepower.
Most of the turrets were automated, but a small number were manually controlled.
In case of an emergency, all manual turrets could be taken over by the automated system.
Upon hearing Kunji’s command, the soldiers swiftly entered combat turrets and aimed their barrels at the incoming insect swarm.
Open fire!
"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!"
Under the suppression of the powerful long-range beam weapons, the dense insect swarm ahead fell in large groups.
The ship’s defensive barrier blocked the remote attacks.
Overall, fighting from the ship was much safer.
Inside the ship’s command room, Captain Gorn was directing the ship’s operations and communicating with Captain Gisele, who was at the front line.
"We just made contact with Charlene’s team. She is able to stabilize the queen bug, but the other mutant worms are struggling violently. She can’t control all of the Seed of Ouroboros; she’s only doing her best to delay us."
The Federation had initially entered this world on a special mission issued by the spawns.
The spawns had identified a high-level Seed of Ouroboros reaction in the insect nest area and had recruited manpower to eradicate it.
The biggest threat was the queen bug.
Upon actual testing, it was discovered that the queen bug’s strength was stronger than what the spawns had described in their data.
The good news was that the queen bug was currently in a semi-hibernation state.
After conducting research, the Federation devised a plan to rely on the prism array to eliminate the queen bug.
Captain Gorn furrowed his brow and asked, "How much longer can Charlene hold out?"
"At most five minutes."
"I understand."
The ship stopped when it reached the Federation’s defensive line’s outer perimeter.
Fang Heng stood on the deck, already remotely controlling a group of Lickers to gather around here.
The Federation seemed to be under heavy pressure.
As the number of insect swarms visibly increased at a rapid pace, it became apparent that the Federation was beginning to struggle to hold the line, slowly retreating.
Wait, if the front line collapses, his Prism Tower defense mission might collapse as well.
Who would he talk to then?
It was better to summon the Lickers early, so if anything happened, there would be some time to respond.
"Chi, chi chi..."
Huh?
Fang Heng turned around, looking at the ship, his eyes showing a hint of surprise again.
