Uuhmp♫
I looked at my status in satisfaction. I upgraded myself during last night using all of my reserve matter.
It increased my weight, but what use of it when I die before even using it.
Now I have more additional armor in front of me to tank the damage with two new ball turrents on my sides as added firepower and to cover my blind spots.
As for the group, in the end, the beef broth won by 8 votes.
After sending my drones for surveillance, I continue observing Chen as I have nothing to do.
As usual, he is right now absorbing energy into his body through a weird pyramid. Seem, this pyramid helps people to separate and absorb wherever energy of their choice.
But from the amount of energy going through the pyramid was no smaller than a needle hole.
No matter how one looks, the pyramid Chen using is the lowest grade one.
I wonder when his golden finger will appear?
Is it a godly item?
Mysterious master?
Or even a superior hidden body constitution?
It is like I am only reading a prologue or a first chapter of the story.

I can't wait to what will happen, but the only choice I have is to wait.
Just like that, Chen and I spent a whole night in peace.
I like the action, but I hope this alert passes in peace.
Received 5kg pure matter. One drone has been destroyed at D8
And I said it then, raised a big flag. To think as a reader, I forget such an obvious cliche.
I received the information followed by an image in the morning.
On the image shows a monster about 2 or 3 meters tall. It has a big muscular body similar to humans but possesses a long lizard tail, shiny scale, and claws. But it has large compound eyes and two antennas like a bug.
I thought those things would ignore but seeing an image of how those things pursue and destroying it in rage.
Seem, they have a quite hatred towards drones.
I wonder what history is between those things and the sci-fi faction.
Well, not it is not a time to dig back the story.
Here it goes!
*Hnnnn!, Hnnn!*
"Wh-hat!!"
"Why this thing suddenly starts to scream!"
"WARNING! WARNING! A HOSTILE THREAT HAS BEEN FOUND! Please immediately halt your work and take shelter!"
"Oh, SHIT! That means HM found those things!"
"Hurry! Hide Behind HM!"
*Change of POV*
"WARNING! WARNING! A HOSTILE THREAT HAS BEEN FOUND! Please immediately halt your work and take shelter!"
"Oh, SHIT! That means HM found those things!"
"Hurry! Hide Behind HM!"
Followed by the sound of a siren, all of us hear the news we don't want to hear most.
"Brother!"
I quickly took Bao's hand and ran behind the HM along with Andrews and his group.
"Preparing for the combat!"
Following HM's friendly but monotonous voice, all of us saw a change in HM's appearance that made us open our mouths open in surprise.

First, we saw a thick steel plate appearing in front of its nose, followed by its container covered by another one.
The old rusted armor of HM is replaced with a new armor made of an unknown dark metal. Then we saw two more ball-shaped things with the same tube-shaped weapon.
Even the engine used to sound like the heavy cough of an old person now sounds like a roaring beast.
Seeing its transformation, I felt like observing an old warrior taking his weapon and armor to battle against an enemy again.
"Damn..."
"Brother, HM became cool."
But before we finished appreciating Hm's new appearance, all of us heard an echo of the beast's growl mixed with heavy footstep through the tunnel.
"Please stand back and lay on the ground."
Following the HM, all of us laid on the ground. A moment later, I saw glowing yellow eyes moving fast in dark tunnels.
"Opening fire! Please cover your ears."
*TUNK! TUNK! TUNK! TUNK!*
With a sound akin to thunder, all four pipes of HM began to breathe fire.
"FUCK! MY EARS!"
I saw one unlucky person from the group rolling on the group holding his ears. But his scream is quickly suppressed in mid of loud sound of those pipes.
HM continue to bleach its fire at the same time we also hear a scream of beast followed by a spray of brown blood in the dark.
Under the smoke, I saw yellow eyes are slowly closing in inch by inch.
Eventually, I saw the face of those things just like the boss said it was a disgusting mix of everything.
Thing walking towards us on two legs like a human while its whole body full of a large gaping hole made by HM's weapon.
It tried to jump on us but followed by a familiar sound, its head exploded like a rotten egg.
Like a meat grinder, HM's weapon continues to exterminate things filling the floor of the tunnel with their brown blood and pieces of their body.
Seeing this, I thought maybe we survive without any harm.
Then I heard the most grim sound that could be heard at this moment.
*click! click!*
"Ammunition is running low."
"Rerouting reserve ammunition to the main turrent."
"Disabling secondary turrents to maintain combat capability."
