A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 1542 - 1039: Strange Creature_2

Liliath extended her hand to press against her chest, exhaling a long breath, as the others nodded. At least, according to the Bird Divination Tool’s detection results, the number of species judged to be infected by aliens does not exceed one hundred, most of which are located in the northern region of Antarctica.

"Uh... teacher, can you put that thing in your hand away? It looks quite scary..."

"...Okay."

Duanmu Huai glanced at the Bird Divination Tool’s data, then frowned and put away the Thermite Bomb in his hand. Seeing this, the people nearby silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more and Antarctica would be gone!

But the problem is...

"This seems to be the location of Argentina’s research station, right?"

Comparing the coordinates, Mary spoke somewhat uneasily.

"...Anyway, let’s go over and take a look first."

In the end, Duanmu Huai made a decision.

The cold wind howled.

The icy blizzard swept across the continent, and on the pitch-black dark land, there were only a few faint lights. For humans, this might be an unimaginably frightening hell.

However, Duanmu Huai merely stood on the hill, letting the freezing wind blow against his Power Armor, while he raised his head, the crimson light inside his helmet shining like stars.

From the exterior, the research station seemed to have no particular anomalies, but soon Duanmu Huai’s helmet sensors captured unusual places — the fuel marks on the ground, explosion traces, and the wreckage of shattered vehicles in the distance.

"Is this really the place where those alien monsters are located?"

Naruse Mio hid behind Duanmu Huai, cautiously observing the distant base.

"Of course, and the people here went through a very fierce resistance; they did quite well."

"Eh?"

"Look."

Duanmu Huai extended his hand, pointing to a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron beside the camp.

"What’s that?"

"That was originally a helicopter."

"Helicopter?"

"Yes, clearly, the research station people discovered the existence of these alien rascals, to prevent their spread. They destroyed their camp’s communication equipment and transport vehicles, completely isolating themselves from other camps. And once they lost these, even those aliens capable of transforming into human shapes wouldn’t escape this continent quickly."

Saying this, Duanmu Huai’s expression darkened.

"However, their efforts also have limits."

"Now it’s Antarctica’s summer, meaning, will there be people coming to replace them?"

Liliath quickly understood Duanmu Huai’s meaning.

"Correct, previously Antarctica was in perpetual winter; clearly, these monsters couldn’t resist Antarctica’s severe cold."

While saying this, Duanmu Huai kicked the frozen penguin corpse beside him; these were not real penguins but alien beasts in disguise.

"But now, with rising temperatures in Antarctica, humans start to move again..."

"Exactly, so we must complete what they didn’t finish."

While speaking, Duanmu Huai extended his hand — then the Thunder Warhammer appeared in his hand.

"Is the mission plan understood?"

"Of course, but do we really have to do it this way?"

"Yes, every life in this base, anything that moves... must be exterminated!"

While saying this, Duanmu Huai raised his War Hammer and swung it forward.

"Take action!"

"———!"

Accompanied by Duanmu Huai’s words, Frieren was the first to act; she raised her hand, and a Magic Beam instantly transformed into a Light Spear, screeching towards the center of the base, while Akeno Ushima and Liliath also raised their hands, their actions causing magic to turn into a Barrier, completely isolating this area from the outside. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Boom!!!!"

The beam fired by Frieren directly pierced through the research station’s prefab building, instantly triggering a massive explosion. Flames soared into the sky, illuminating the dark Antarctic continent at night.

Soon, people dressed in military uniforms, fully armed, ran out from inside. Holding their weapons, they looked around warily. Judging by appearance, they seemed no different from ordinary humans. But this was meaningless to Duanmu Huai because — his Alien Alarm Device was urgently alerting him, proving everything!

"Die, alien hybrids!!"

Like a Demon from Hell, Duanmu Huai roared as he descended from the sky, crashing heavily into the center of the research station. Then he suddenly swung his War Hammer, and the following gust of wind directly crushed all the soldiers around him into pieces. At this moment, the others in the distance seemed to react and hurriedly raised their weapons, pulling the trigger on Duanmu Huai.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Gunshots rang out, bullets traversing the blizzard and hitting Duanmu Huai’s Power Armor. However, such attacks were utterly ineffective against Duanmu Huai; he didn’t even look, swinging his hammer backwards to smash onto the ground. Then, the solid ice surface directly shattered and collapsed, and the erupting air waves shredded everything within moments.

"Huu..."

Standing not far from the base, Naruse Mio clenched her hands tightly. Her opponents were a group of sled dogs. At least from the surface, these sled dogs were no different from ordinary animals. Now, they stood before Naruse Mio, opened their mouths, and growled angrily at her.
