5: Chapter 5: The Clash of Cold and Hot Weapons, and the Appearance of Water

"Surging Clouds, Fierce Burst!" Zhao Feng moved like lightning, his blade aura turning into a thin white line as he slashed fiercely at a nearby giant millipede.

The millipede-shaped machine seemed to notice something, but Zhao Feng's movements were too fast. Before it could even react, its heavy armor took a fierce slash.

He felt only slight resistance in his hand as the blade aura sliced rapidly inside.

The armor was very thick, but it was quickly penetrated.

Truly worthy of being a Spirit Blade!

Zhao Feng took the opportunity to twist his blade, drilling out a huge hole.

He kicked away the thick piece of armor and ducked inside.

The giant millipede wasn't very long, about twenty meters. After entering, Zhao Feng raised his blade to protect his front and quickly scanned the area.

In front of him sat two hideous-looking bugs, their faces filled with astonishment.

In front of the bugs were huge machines, with various light spots and patterns flashing on them.

Zhao Feng gave a ferocious smile. "Sudden Wind, Violent Rain!"

His figure flashed, and the blade light fell like rain.

Fine wounds split open on the bugs' bodies.

"Splash!" Thick dark green fluid gushed out. Before the two bugs even understood what had happened, they were turned into fragments.

An eye for an eye!

Thinking of the soldiers shattered by particle beams yesterday, Zhao Feng felt immense satisfaction.

"Boom! Boom!" The giant millipede suddenly began to shake; the large millipede next to it seemed to be attacking this one.

Zhao Feng flashed out again, hiding behind a brick wall.

Before he could even catch his breath, a strong sense of danger arose in his heart, and he quickly jumped to the side.

"Boom!" A deep blue plasma ball blew up the brick wall.

Amidst the flying dust, Zhao Feng ducked and lunged forward, another shrill blade light flashing out!

"Swift as the Wind Against Evil!"

"Bang, bang, bang..." The anti-aircraft machine gun was still firing, but to avoid friendly fire, it strafed the other side, using its firepower to distract the Alien machines.

A head peeked out from behind a wall, looking down. "Old Squad Leader, it's a Martial Forest expert!"

"Bullshit, you old rascal, you've been watching too many TV dramas."

"It's real, if you don't believe me, look."

"Damn it, we're out of bullets!" the Old Squad Leader shouted. "Let me take a look."

Another head emerged from behind the wall. "Damn it, it really is an expert!"

The Old Squad Leader's eyes widened to the size of copper bells.

The expert moved like a gale, his blade light crisscrossing, slaughtering those millipedes and leaving them in chaos.

Not a single machine could stop him in the slightest!

The Old Squad Leader watched with burning blood. "Old Li, tie the grenades together. We don't have many supplies left anyway, let's pull off one last job and retreat quickly."

"That's true. The regular troops are wiped out, but we still have these old bones."

Zhao Feng didn't wait for the two old men to help. The Tian Boguang experience card only lasted thirty minutes, and time was short. His Internal Energy surged, his blade light like snow, hacking one mechanical millipede after another into pieces.

By the time the two old men rushed down, everything was already over.

Zhao Feng sheathed his blade and stood still, calming his Qi and blood.

The Spirit Blade Slash was still snow-white, without a single trace of blood left on it.

"Greetings, Great Hero!" The two old men were a bit reserved and didn't dare to look at Zhao Feng.

"Are there any more Aliens nearby?"

"Great Hero, the Aliens are capturing people everywhere. The only platoon of soldiers left was scattered. We old militiamen took the weapons issued by the Armed Forces Department to fight the Aliens and cover everyone's evacuation. They have all gone to the air-raid shelter."

"You should leave quickly, too." After saying this, Zhao Feng's figure flashed, and he was already ten meters away. With a few more leaps and bounds, he was already far away.

Time was running out, and Zhao Feng felt a sense of regret. This Tian Boguang experience card was so useful; it was a pity it only lasted half an hour.

This time he had taken out six Aliens, giving them a warning. "Earthlings are not to be trifled with!"

Returning to the planet again, Zhao Feng continued the task of terraforming the planet.

"New mission issued." "Mission 3: Primitive Ocean.

Mission Brief: The ocean is the cradle of life. Only the existence of large amounts of water can form a complete biosphere; the existence of ordinary life cannot be separated from water.

Mission Objective: Increase the planet's water coverage to 30%.

Mission Reward: 15 Modification Points, one mysterious small wooden box."

The mysterious small wooden box would give Zhao Feng good things; he had to obtain it.

Time was too tight; he had to plan carefully.

After the planet's temperature dropped, precipitation appeared along with convection currents. The planet itself had a large amount of water vapor, and this water vapor would turn into rain when it encountered cold.

Some low-lying areas on the planet already had small lakes, but don't think these were pure, clean water; these were acidic rains with corrosive properties.

The large presence of water maintained the temperature to a certain extent. During the day, water would absorb heat, and at night, it would release heat; the planet's temperature had become much milder.

If you stood on the planet, you could see lightning and thunder in the sky almost every second.

From time to time, torrential rain would fall, scattering onto the land, converging into streams and rivers, and finally gathering in low-lying areas to form lakes.

In the primitive planet, besides relying on lightning to ignite hydrogen in the presence of oxygen, the main source of water was capturing comets drifting around in space.

Comets, often carrying ice, were captured by the planet's gravity, bringing a large amount of moisture to the planet.

However, celestial visitors like comets don't just come when you want them to; it's all down to luck. Zhao Feng couldn't possibly create super microorganisms to catch comets! Alright, that was a bad joke.

Fortunately, as a starter planet for the novice period, this planet possessed thick polar glaciers.

Even during the hottest times on the planet, the polar glaciers didn't completely melt, which gave Zhao Feng hope of completing the mission, instead of waiting for comets that might or might not arrive.

Looking at it this way, even if he did nothing, the moisture on the planet would gradually increase. As long as he spent a lot of time, there would be no trouble other than boredom.

Zhao Feng had learned his lesson from the Rock-eating Bacteria; he knew the Energy-eating Bacteria would suffer the same fate as the Rock-eating Bacteria.

The proliferation of Energy-eating Bacteria would definitely lower the planet's temperature, thereby causing water to turn into solid ice again, moving further and further away from the mission objective.

Therefore, as long as he gave the Energy-eating Bacteria a new evolutionary direction so it would no longer continue to lower the temperature, and then caused the glaciers to melt rapidly, the primitive ocean would definitely form.

To make the glaciers melt, there was another way: volcanoes.

As long as he could promote the eruption of nearby volcanoes, the glaciers would definitely melt.

The interior of the planet had hot magma and sufficient pressure. He only needed to thin the rock wall here, and the magma would naturally gush out.

After much thought, Zhao Feng decided to let the Rock-eating Bacteria reappear to corrode the crust beneath the glaciers.

As for the Energy-eating Bacteria, Zhao Feng couldn't bear to exterminate them directly; that would waste the Modification Points. He would seal the Energy-eating Bacteria away for now and deal with them later.

"Deploy!"

The System began its intelligent acceleration again.

Sure enough, just as Zhao Feng expected, the volcano finally erupted.

The scorching magma broke through the glaciers, erupting with a rumble.

The ice turned directly into water vapor, entering the atmosphere.

He didn't know how much System time had passed, but the conditions were finally met.

"Mission 3 complete."

"Issuing rewards: 15 Modification Points, currently a total of 33 Modification Points. Issuing one mysterious small wooden box."

Huh! What happened? Why did he clearly remember it being 18 points before? How did an extra point appear out of thin air!
