The Ultimate Evolution - Chapter 213

Chapter 213

The engine exhaust of the shuttle was finally facing the ground, the orange flames gradually extinguished; smoothly landing onto the terrace . The feeling of being unable to control their own lives wasn't a bearable one; the contestants flocked towards the cabin door, trying to beat each other to escape this feeling . A military officer in an ash-blue uniform with a huge beard, was impatiently waiting with his arms folded, pacing back and forth outside .

Freeing themselves from the cabin, they could finally breath in the fresh cooling air . Although they felt pretty confident of their safety previously, they could now clearly see the shuttle's metal shell had been dreadfully corroded; like the skin of a fermented steamed bun . Some badly affected areas had its first layer of armour thoroughly corroded through, even the internal armour appeared huge froths of depressions . An awful stench continued to be emitted .

Several SCVs by the side drove past swiftly, raising their electric torches as sparks burst out from the repair works . That military officer roared out furiously .

"Where are y'all looking at? Boys, the general Headquarters had sacrificed 4 transport shuttles to escort you here, not for you to chat amongst yourselves! I am Lieutenant Colonel Tommy Kevin . But I prefer others to call me by my callsign! Yes, that callsign that causes all to tremble - Steel Whip!"

"Honestly, I don't get why the higher ups would delegate such a tough mission to these bunch of feeble newbies . Look at your crooked postures and lazy expressions . Even your weak movements are enough to cause my blood pressure to raise by 30 mmHg (Millimeters of mercury, used for counting pressure) . Hence, I wish to hurry up and settle this matter before my blood pressure kills me! Adjutant, adjutant, I give you 10 seconds to appear in front of me, and another 10 seconds to inform these rookies what they need to do!"

Another militant wearing spectacles rushed out .

"Nice to meet everyone, I am Captain Crespo . Two hours ago, we received a distress call from the west Whiskey outpost: 'They have been surrounded by those damnable insects, requesting for reinforcements from the Roughnecks . ' Sadly, the west outpost was already fallen and that bogus intelligence was from a radio operator that had his brains sucked dry . "

(TN: Roughnecks are the rescuing team name)

"Your mission is to conduct a rescue for the Roughnecks . Under such circumstances, casualties are unavoidable . Yet Lieutenant Johnny Rico is a rare talent . If he dies, your mission is a failure . Apart from him, Sergeant Dizzy Flores, Sergeant Levy (that silly cock comb hair in the film), Commander Rasczak are all rare talents; it is best if you can safeguard their lives . If they can be extracted out without harm, then a hefty commendable rating can be expected . "

In the original movie, the main lead Dizzy Flores and Commander Rasczak had died there . Naturally the difficulty of the mission was needless to say .

Concurrently, Sheyan and the rest received the notification from the nightmare imprint:

Your special armour will raise 1-2 defence, but will decrease your movement speed . Please determine if you want to continue wearing it yourself .

After this list of notifications, several contestants started whispering amongst themselves . Tommy Kevin furiously roared out .

"Silence, silence! You bunch of dregs! Maggot like scums, shut your damned mouth! You have an hour of rest and preparations now, then a Terran Vulture will send you to your destination . At the central hall there's a military official called Anzi, any needs you can look for him . Now, immediately disappear from my sight, scram!"

Although every contestant wanted to deliver a sound beating for this explosively temperament guy, they knew that was just a dream . Their attention was immediately directed to Anzi, and started marching towards the central hall of the base .

When they left the storyline characters, a little guy clapped his hands loudly and exclaimed .

"Hey! Guys don't mind listening to me for a moment? I am Harnik, 'Crazy Harnik' I reckon some have worked with me before right? We all probably all lone travellers who have lost their original parties . Moreover on hindsight, every comrade's sacrifice will carry an immense loss . In the long run, since we've already formed a temporary party by the realm; if we complement each other well, then there's a huge possibility of us becoming partners in the future . Hence, I suggest that everyone firstly announce their strong points and personal combat style . This will assist us during battle . "

Mogensha hugged his golden AK indifferently, yet he transmitted a message to Sheyan .

"This guy's nickname is 'Monkey' . His party had been utterly ruined by the Metals professor previously in the Lord of the Rings world . But his agility is relatively high, and his innate ability is 'Phantasm', allowing his avoidability to greatly increase . Previously when I released a burst fire towards him, although it successfully landed; but the only 1 that landed out of the 3 was still ineffective due to slipping effect . His capabilities are pretty outstanding . "

Sheyan slightly frowned .

"Such a high passive evasion?"

After the contestants heard Harnik's words, they deeply had the same sentiments . But only this Crazy Harnik first spoke out, and some even regretted losing the opportunity to shine in this party . The bulk of them naturally found a secluded area to congregate, and started conducting introductions .

Firstly, was naturally that vocal Harnik . Following the customary regulations, he first introduced his position in the party . Reconnaissance (Scout), assassin, damage dealer . He then displayed his personal list of abilities . 'Wiping throat lvl5', allowed a backstab ability, its damage was so terrifying that even Sheyan felt a chill .

After crazy Harnik, a huge brute stood out . He removed his helmet, his left eye was covered with a black eye-patch . He looked like the the one-eyed Sagat from street fighter . Sheyan instantly noticed Mogensha's brows tightening, this one eyed male had a hoarse voice .

"I am Qiaoer, Executional Qiaoer . Party position: Super-long range firepower output . Strong points - sniping . "

Mogenshah quickly acknowledged the terror of this guy .

"I encountered this fellow during my stint with the Symbiosis sect . Venter from his perfect condition received a shot from that guy, and actually was instantly reduced into a critically wounded state! After that, at least 5 members from the sect died under his hands . . . . . . looks like Crazy Harnik wants to elect Qiaoer for captain . "

Following that, the others introduced themselves and two people left an impression on Sheyan . One was the leather jacket male called Henrik, a rarely seen support class . He introduced himself as a field controller, indicating that his ability is oil techniques; creating a huge surface of oil to cause enemies to slip .
