Chapter 1236 - Mars Rescue (1/2)

The oxygen in the rover came primarily from two systems.

One was an oxygen tank placed in the trunk, and the reserve inside could provide oxygen for a crew up to a week. The other was the carbon fixation device that automatically started when the oxygen tank was empty. The device consumed electrical energy to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen until the battery is depleted.

In an optimal scenario, the device could maintain oxygen for two weeks.

However, now, five days had already passed.

Looking at the fiery red desert outside the window, and the “worm” that crawled out onto the surface from time to time, Wang Qian had a bitter smile on his face.

However, at this moment, a black dot appeared in his field of vision. There was a cloud of dust behind that black dot.

“Hey, James, wake up!” Wang Qiang immediately kicked the man facing him and woke up the man that just managed to fall asleep.

“What happened…” James was rubbing his eyes as he wanted to ask what had happened, but then he saw the black dot.

All his drowsiness disappeared in an instant as he crawled beside Wang Qiang while staring out the window with his eyes squinted, desperately trying to identify what it was, then he screamed in excitement, “It’s our people! They’re back! They didn’t abandon us! ”

“Hurry up and get ready.”

Wang Qiang patted him on the shoulder and walked into the buffer room. Then, he took off his spacesuit.

At the same time, the action outside the window began.

A Devil Worm near the rover raised its head and opened its sharp teeth in the direction of the vehicle that was coming in from the distance. Just as it was about to plunge back into the ground, the vehicle launched a rocket.

Like a burning iron fist, the rocket directly hit the Devil Worm’s abdomen and instantly exploded.

Its green blood and remains splattered in the air, which sent the upper half of the Devil Worm into the air before it smashed into the sand five meters away.

“REEEEEE!”

The repressed and anguish scream came from its vocal cord, and the Devil Worm that had been split in half squirmed wildly in the desert with its organs and blood spilled everywhere.

“Still not died,” Looking at , the gunner said with a troubled tone as he saw the troublesome bug through the scope.

“Make it shut up! It’s attracting its kind!” the captain shouted.

The 20mm gun released its fiery at the worm’s upper half.

The driver quickly turned the steering wheel and the vehicle made a quick thirty degrees turn toward the rover.

Almost at the same time, dust exploded from the side of the vehicle, and another Devil Worm crawled out from the ground. The sickle-like fangs barely scratched the vehicle as its mouth opened and closed, creating a cringe-worthy sound.

“Go to hell!” Gnashing his teeth, the gunner adjusted the gun and pressed down on the trigger.

The gun unleashed its bullets and tore apart the belly of the Devil Worm.

While that Devil Worm collapsed in anguish, the whole desert seemed to have begun to boil.

Devil Worms crawled out beside the vehicle one by one. When they failed to hit the target, they immediately dove back into the ground. The gun continued to fire, but it could not handle multiple targets at once.

“Damnit! How many of them are there!” The driver exclaimed.

“Don’t worry about how many there are, hit them! Hit the tires of the rover!” The captain tightly held onto the seat as he roared.
