Chapter 3100: Gray fog forbidden zone (1)
Translator: 549690339
The sudden appearance of the mist alerted the bastions, and they began to monitor the area.
At the same time, he sent Reapers to the area covered by the gray fog to investigate the cause of the change.
Who would have thought that just as the investigation began, they would encounter an unexpected incident.
&Nbsp; after the Reapers entered the gray fog region, they quickly lost their signal and never regained contact again.
The bastions sensed something was wrong and quickly sent Reapers to investigate, but they disappeared without a trace.
The bastion took the situation seriously.
&Nbsp; as the patrol ships were dispatched, a large number of Reapers were also dispatched to head to the gray fog covered area.
In a short time, the gray fog had spread over 10000 kilometers.
The speed was terrifying, and it worried the bastion. It didn’t know how to extract the energy crystals.
The current period of time was the peak of the formation of energy crystals, the harvest that the harvesters were looking forward to.
If the mist affected the final harvest, the bastions would suffer heavy losses.
War itself was an act of high consumption. The weapons used to destroy planets required a huge amount of energy crystals.
If they couldn’t recover their costs, the bastion would be in grave danger.
The Bastion’s high ranking commander followed the patrol ship and joined the operation, trying to solve the crisis in one go.
However, when they arrived at the scene, they realized that the situation in the gray fog region was far more complicated than they had imagined.
It turned out that the gray fog had risen from the ground and reached the vacuum of the planet, leaving no gaps.
Not only did the gray fog obstruct vision, but all kinds of equipment were also seriously affected, making them as blind and deaf as they were.
It was for this reason that the Reapers had completely cut off all contact with the headquarters after entering the gray fog.
After understanding the specific situation, the commander’s heart was a little heavy.
&Nbsp; in their past harvest operations, they had never encountered such a thing. Some of the elders treated it as a provocation and humiliation, and they said that they had to be severely punished.
They wanted nothing more than to use their weapons from outer space and launch an attack on the gray fog-covered area, killing all the survivors who provoked them.
The commanding officer knew in his heart that such a thing was just a thought and could not be implemented.
In the face of a gray fog region that was tens of thousands of kilometers wide, without being able to accurately lock onto the target, the bombardment would only be a waste of precious energy crystals.
A large number of resources were invested in the war, and the bastions were consumed in exchange for a generous return.
But if they didn’t go as planned and continued to invest more resources, the bastions would suffer serious damage.
Bombarding was impossible, but a precise beheading strike was acceptable.
As long as they could determine where the survivors were gathered or the source of the gray fog’s mutation, the commander could request for a bastions to launch an attack.
Therefore, the exploration team’s main mission was to figure out why the gray fog had appeared, and then deal with it accordingly.
It was easy to say, but not easy to do.
The Reapers who had disappeared earlier were now nowhere to be found, so they could not provide any useful information at all.
As the latecomers, they had to bear the same danger, or even more dangerous.
The commander gathered his subordinates and thought about how to explore the gray fog.
To ensure that the information was passed back in time, and in the event of danger, it could also effectively fight back.
Without these conditions, even exploring the gray fog would be a waste of time.
The final command had decided to divide the gray fog region into equal areas, and then land from the sky to investigate.
&Nbsp; all the Reapers participating in the operation were connected to the patrol ships floating in the sky by special ropes.
The patrol ships were floating in the air, forming a huge square formation, and the Reapers were the spiders that drooped down.
Because of the rope, the Reapers did not need to be fixed in place, but they could explore all kinds of terrain.
Although their movements would be restricted, they could ensure that they would not get lost. When they discovered any abnormalities, they could also send information back to the patrol ship in time.
To put it bluntly, these Reapers were bait to be sacrificed to attract the fish hidden in the gray fog.
&Nbsp; because of their group awareness, the patrol ships and Reapers could move as one at all times.
With the order, the exploration operation officially began.
The huge patrol ship formation slowly landed in the gray fog area, and the original communication equipment was immediately disrupted.
However, there was a special rope connecting the patrol ships. It was not only to prevent them from being separated, but it also served as a nerve communication function.
Due to the existence of the special rope, the patrol ship was not only synchronized in consciousness, but also became a special entity.
&Nbsp; after descending to a certain height, the Reapers used a special rope to descend like a Spider.
While it was falling, Reapers kept looking around, trying to find suspicious targets.
The first search area was naturally the place where the gray fog first appeared.
&Nbsp; however, the heavily damaged ground caused a lot of trouble for the search. The deep trenches and various obstacles made it difficult for the Reapers to move.
The rope used by the Reapers was also limited, and it could not extend down indefinitely.
As time passed, the area of investigation continued to expand, but there was no harvest.
Not to mention the reason for the formation of the gray fog, even the lost Reapers and the possible survivors were not found.
This result did not satisfy the commander, who felt that there must be a flaw in the investigation method.
Perhaps the truth was right in front of them, but it was covered up by the existence of the gray tog.
Just as the commander was thinking of a solution, one of the Reapers in charge of scouting was suddenly attacked.
The enemy’s attack method was unknown, but the Reaper was killed in an instant without any chance to react.
Although they had suffered losses, the frowning commander finally revealed a relaxed smile.
Because the fish that had been waiting for a long time finally opened its mouth and bit the hook.
With a single command, all the nearby Reapers immediately gathered in the area where the accident had occurred.
It was obvious that they were going to carry out a carpet search to find the survivors who launched the sneak attack and then figure out what had happened.
Who would have thought that in the process of gathering, the Reapers would once again be ambushed and killed in one hit.
The sudden turn of events surprised the commander, but he was more delighted than surprised.
The enemy in the gray fog was not simple. It was likely that they had mastered special weapons that could kill the Reapers in seconds.
The commander was more and more certain that the other party was the source of the change, and it was likely that they were concentrated in this area.
&Nbsp; if he could kill all of them, then the problem that troubled the soul Reaper would be solved.
The commander made up his mind. He ordered the Reapers to track the enemy while secretly contacting the bastions.
The battle continued, and the Reapers were constantly being attacked.
&Nbsp; in the gray fog, the Reapers had no way to find and lock onto the enemy’s position. They were like targets that were constantly being killed.
Even if the enemy launched an attack, these Reapers would not be able to detect it in time and could only passively take the attack.
As the weapons were too powerful, the Reapers had no chance to resist after being attacked.
And when the Reapers were destroyed, the command ship received all the data from the attacks.
Based on the calculated data, the command ship began to attack in an attempt to kill the hidden enemies.
&Nbsp; unfortunately, this didn’t have much of an effect. The soul Reaper was still being attacked.
&Nbsp; at some point, the patrol ship had cut off the rope connecting it to the Reapers and quickly left the fog-covered area.
The Super Fortress floating in space suddenly activated its planet-destroying weapon and shot down a blinding beam of light.
The area where the Reapers were ambushed suffered an attack from the sky, and the ground was torn apart again..
