245: The power of the ion cannon

The Captain's eyes widened in a furious glare, and with a roar, he unhesitatingly cranked the ion cannon's power to maximum.

The ion cannon's muzzle instantly blazed with intense light, and a thick, pillar-like beam of energy, carrying a world-destroying aura, shot directly towards the dense cluster of Flesh and Blood Creatures.

"Boom!"

The moment the ion cannon struck, a deafening roar erupted, as if the entire planet trembled.

Immediately after, a blinding light, as dazzling as the sun, stung everyone's eyes.

An incredibly powerful shockwave, centered on the explosion, spread outwards like raging ocean waves.

Where the shockwave passed, the air was instantly torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

If not for the powerful protective function of their battle armor, this terrifying shockwave alone would have sent them flying like ants, to an unknown distance.

Even under the protection of their battle armor, everyone could still feel the oppressive force of that powerful energy, their bodies swaying slightly in mid-air.

As the explosion's light gradually faded and thick smoke slowly rose, the sight before them was shocking.

The flood-like cluster of Flesh and Blood Creatures was now directly annihilated by more than half.

The ground, entirely composed of flesh and blood, looked as if it had been violently struck by a giant's fist, revealing a massive and bloody crater.

The flesh and blood at the crater's edge still wriggled slightly, as if struggling in pain, emitting a nauseating stench.

"Start clearing the remaining creatures!"

The Captain made a decisive call, shouting the command.

Before his words finished, the few people quickly adjusted their postures in the air, raising their energy guns and unleashing a furious barrage on the remaining Flesh and Blood Creatures.

Dazzling beams of energy shot from the muzzles of their guns, pouring down like dense raindrops onto the Flesh and Blood Creatures.

Facing various grotesque Flesh and Blood Creatures, they had completely lost their previous fear.

Whenever they encountered creatures with super-strong regenerative abilities, everyone immediately and tacitly concentrated their firepower, ensuring they were eliminated completely at the first possible moment.

Because they knew deeply that if they were even slightly negligent, these creatures could quickly recover and pose a threat to them again.

For a time, energy beams flashed in the air, flesh and blood flew on the ground, and shouts of battle intertwined with the roars of the creatures.

After a fierce battle, hundreds of thousands of Flesh and Blood Creatures were finally completely wiped out.

The ground was strewn with the corpses of Blood People, like a sea of blood.

The reason most of the corpses on the ground were Blood People was primarily because, apart from Blood People, almost all other creatures possessed astonishing regenerative abilities; without completely destroying their bodies, safety could not be guaranteed.

"Come on, collect some genes if you can, then report it."

A hint of a smug smile appeared on the Captain's face.

He had originally planned to just muddle through the assessment, but who would have thought that this group of Flesh and Blood Creatures would actively deliver themselves? This was practically a gift of merit, so naturally, he had to accept it.

The few people quickly followed the command, systematically beginning to collect gene samples, preparing to report this unexpected harvest, which might even add some luster to their assessment...

"Oh? Look, this Squad has actually successfully eliminated a group of thousands of Flesh and Blood Creatures!"

Minister Sha stared intently at the newly uploaded report, his eyes widening slightly, his face filled with surprise.

He had originally thought that during this assessment, the Students would mostly explore cautiously and not easily engage large-scale Flesh and Blood Creatures head-on, as these creatures were not only numerous but also possessed troublesome regenerative abilities.

"There's nothing to be surprised about."

Wan Yi's expression remained calm after reading the report, as if it was just a trivial matter.

He slightly raised his head, his eyes revealing the composure of a seasoned veteran, and slowly said,

"Once there are no venue restrictions and no weapon power constraints, dealing with a mere group of low-level creatures, even if they possess strong regenerative abilities, how much trouble can they cause? For our 73rd Army Soldiers, this is something that can be done with ease."

Wan Yi knew clearly that the Students had many concerns when clearing Flesh and Blood Creatures on the starship previously.

When using weapons, they constantly had to worry whether the weapon's power would damage the starship, thereby affecting the progress of the entire mission.

But on this Flesh and Blood Planet, the situation was completely different; they no longer needed to worry about these issues and could fully unleash the power of their weapons.

After all, judging from the description in the report, this Squad had actually used a fully powered ion cannon.

It should be known that the power of this ion cannon is extremely strong; even a low-level small starship would definitely not be able to withstand such a shot, let alone these Flesh and Blood Creatures.

"It's just a pity."

Minister Sha gently shook his head, saying with a hint of regret,

"Many Flesh and Blood Creatures must have their bodies completely destroyed to ensure they are truly killed. This makes it difficult to extract their genes, which is undoubtedly a great loss for studying the Flesh and Blood Civilization."

His gaze revealed a trace of regret...

Li Yang and his group cautiously advanced for some time in this mysterious and dangerous underground passage, before their path was blocked by a massive door.

This door was tall and heavy, its surface composed of a strange layer of flesh and blood, emitting a faint fishy smell, and covered with intricate patterns, as if they were some mysterious runes, or traces left by time, giving people an ancient and eerie feeling.

"Everyone, look around and see if there's any way to open this door."

Li Yang frowned slightly, saying in a low voice.

Unless absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to use weapons, after all, in this enemy territory, no one knew what kind of chain reaction breaking this door would cause, whether it would instantly attract a large number of enemies, and at that time, they would probably fall into an abyss of no return.

"This... should be... a keyhole, right?"

Vivienne frowned slightly, her gaze falling on the wall next to the large door.

There was a fist-sized hole there, and the flesh and blood around the hole were slightly raised, seemingly subtly different from the surrounding wall, indeed looking like a keyhole waiting for a key to be inserted.
