Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 244 - 52: Combat Power 438.8, Base No. 7

So he quickly sat inside the airship. As soon as he sat down, someone appeared beside him; it was the captain of the Shadows, Xuan Yue.

Her responsibility was to ensure the safety of Ling Feng’s life.

This Catfish Demon wave was initiated by the Catfish Demon Queen to protect itself by diverting the attention of Ao Dagang and others, trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain and rescue the besieged by surrounding the enemy, thus launching a beast tide.

The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance was eager to summon everyone to go, including Ling Feng, which showed the urgency of the situation. Of course, the main goal was also to delay time for Ao Dagang and them.

At this moment, not only were the Dharma Martial Artists from South City heading to Base Number Seven, but Dharma Martial Artists from several cities near South City were also on their way to support.

But because of the distance, even with airship transport, it would take them between one to three hours to arrive.

"Don’t leave my sight later."

Xuan Yue reminded.

Ling Feng, awakening basic bloodline power, had physical fitness and combat power within the scope of a Bone Martial Artist, which Xuan Yue couldn’t notice in a short time.

A moment later, the airship drove out of the Inner Ring City, heading towards the Great Radiation Zone.

Ling Feng saw that not only Future City had airships receiving Dharma Martial Artists, but other neighborhoods also had airships going, and Chen Duling, Ye Chen, Qiu Kui, Lin Chengfeng, and others were among them.

Many students from Starry Sky University and Divine Martial University were also being sent to Base Number Seven in batches. It seemed the situation was severe, and the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance had no choice but to dispatch so many Martial Dao students to support.

"Thinking about it, being under the protection of the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance commissioners, all in this list, Ye Chen and Chen Duling and the others cannot be spared either."

Ling Feng thought to himself.

The airship was very fast, disappearing over South City in the blink of an eye, crossing through the Outer Ring City, and quickly entering the Great Radiation Zone.

Previously, Ling Feng had only seen the appearance of the Great Radiation Zone in news and Star Realm images and had never actually been here before.

Within the Great Radiation Zone, there were a dozen bases.

Base Number Seven was deep in the Great Radiation Zone and was a line of defense within it. Outside Base Number Seven, there were factories everywhere. The equipment and weapons developed by these factories possessed strong destructive power.

While they posed significant threats to the Alien Race, they also destroyed the human living environment, so factories were generally established far from residential areas.

Setting up factories in the Great Radiation Zone or within the Profound Realm.

Since the last outbreak of the Catfish Demon storm, the researchers and even the equipment of these factories had moved out of the Great Radiation Zone, leaving only the empty shells.

The heavy equipment that couldn’t be moved was the only thing left behind.

Xu Songlin and Ao Dagang had been dedicated to eliminating the Catfish Demons, hoping the factories could return to the Great Radiation Zone, continuing to create value for South City and helping people receive more resource subsidies.

Once the beast tide initiated by the Catfish Demon Queen crossed the defensive line of Base Number Seven, even if the Catfish Demon Queen were eventually killed, it would cause enormous losses to humanity.

At least rebuilding an industrial area suitable for production would take a long time, and by the time everything was ready, the factory heads who moved out might have been taken away by the personnel of other cities, realizing value for them instead.

Therefore, the Catfish Demon Queen must be killed.

Base Number Seven must not fall; the Catfish Demon tide must not cross the defense line, destroying Base Number Seven and the facilities of other bases beyond it.

"Boom!"

The airship roared along the way.

Ling Feng quickly saw Base Number Seven shrouded in yellowish pollutants. The particulate matter here was very dense, causing significant health issues even with protective clothing.

Only Skin Realm Martial Artists could withstand the pollutants here.

Those Elemental Martial Artists wore thick protective clothing or hid inside ships and vehicles.

Dharma Martial Artists were crucial to the outcome of a battle, but those truly charging into battle were those with ships or vehicles equipped with high-altitude cannons, electromagnetic cannons, laser cannons, and other various weapons and equipment.

Most of these offensive devices were system-operated, not requiring personnel to drive them, having basically achieved intelligence.

A small number of extremely valuable and powerful equipment needed personnel operation or multiple people to drive simultaneously.

The airship Ling Feng and the others were on had a manned airship with a pilot, usually indicating a high level, capable of carrying various offensive weapons, capable of maximizing power under personnel and system control.

In today’s society, advanced equipment does not necessarily appear more advanced and formidable when out of human control. On the contrary, those offensive weapon devices temporarily unable to rely entirely on system operation tend to have terrifying levels.

The airship Ling Feng and they were on was equipped with a pilot and was a Skin Realm Martial Artist, allowing the ship to withstand many radioactive and pollutant materials, maintaining operating status in harsh environments without losing capability due to cold or heat.

Of course, there are limits to high temperatures and cold.

Ultimately, the airship Ling Feng and the others were on landed at Base Number Seven, at a factory belonging to the Xingyao Group.

Ling Feng vaguely remembered that his cousin Zhang Tiesheng worked at Xingyao Group. He had heard that his workplace was at Base Number Seven, not expecting that the base was so far away in the Great Radiation Zone.
