The Ultimate Evolution Chapter 1075

Chapter 1075: 1075
Sheyan already won the respect of the rest of the contestants just by virtue of his support ability . It made them marvel at the fact that there were truly no mediocre contestants among those that were chosen for this mission .

Paul was really interested in the big, dumb-looking Ramtas, and kept asking Sheyan about it .

Although his battle robot was powerful, it actually had another, bigger weakness besides its slow movement, and that was the endless consumption of Paul's MP! Paul was not as crazy as Zi; his equipments were not all either dark green or dark gold without anything else of lower grade, so it was a struggle for him to maintain the robot .

It was true that everyone had their own problems . While Sheyan admired Paul's colossal robot that could sweep through all obstacles with its long, gigantic hammer, Paul also admired Ramtas for its convenience, high survivability and low maintenance . It was also considerate enough to repel bugs for its summoner!

The two talked together for a while . After Pokan finished his preliminary reconstruction of the temporary base, the group had a discussion and decided to re-ignite the fire . They would also add the specially-made additives to it . A column of thick, brown-red smoke once again rose into the sky, beckoning for the rest of the contestants to come to them .

They talked while they were waiting, and the topic of conversation naturally steered towards the collapse of the mushroom rock .

Va.s.sily and Paul's landing was not as rough as Sheyan's . Their s.p.a.cecrafts smoothly descended vertically onto the planet the way normal helicopters did . It so happened that they landed less than fifty meters away from each other, so they had grouped together right after they landed .

They had also experimented with flying the s.p.a.cecraft within the planet's atmosphere, but found that the magnetic field interference here was indeed too severe . The instruments in the s.p.a.cecraft would be painfully tortured by the chaotic magnetic interference during low-alt.i.tude flight, and any moment of carelessness would spell disaster . They could only fly the Wasp directly into outer s.p.a.ce .

The two of them had landed not too far away from the mushroom rock . They could have reached the mushroom rock on the same day that they landed, but Paul rejected the idea for a simple yet acceptable reason:

He had found some ominous signs .

It was well known among the contestants that Paul had made a lot of money in his s.p.a.cecraft modification venture, so it was not difficult to deduce that his own Wasp must have been modified to the maximum extent . It must be top-notch in terms of both performance and the quality of the installed accessories .

It must be top-notch in terms of both performance and the quality of the installed accessories .

Remember, Paul did not land with difficulty like Sheyan . He landed so smoothly that he could have leisurely had a cup of coffee during the whole process . Therefore, he had ample time to observe the mushroom rock, and had even let his monitoring camera focus on the rock, as it was a place he needed to pay attention to .

After landing, Paul replayed the video recording many times, and confirmed that he was indeed seeing a large amount of colossal bones at the top of the mushroom rock! Those bones were so huge that they were comparable to the sizes of blue whales! Some of the bones still had skin and fur on them, while others had been completely corroded .

Considering the terrain of the mushroom rock, what were the chances of the owners of those giant bones climbing to the top of their own accord, then killing themselves there? Almost zero .

So that led to a very important question: how did they get up there and turn into bones?

That process was not captured by Paul's camera, so Paul could not come to a definite conclusion, but he and Va.s.sily agreed that the owners of those colossal bones must had been very strong before they died .

That process was not captured by Paul's camera, so Paul could not come to a definite conclusion, but he and Va.s.sily agreed that the owners of those colossal bones must had been very strong before they died .

So, they ignored the Empire's order and ran away in the opposite direction . In the end, they saw the smoke and followed it here .

Sheyan checked the video and saw the huge bones for himself . Evidently, a creature that could drag the owners of these bones up there must be something with wings . Besides possessing great strength, these creatures should live in groups and were good in the division of labour -- the owners of those giant bones had probably been "lifted" up there . . . . Apart from that, to be able to kill those giant creatures, the biological power of the winged creatures must be extremely strong . . . . .

Right now, the only piece of good news for them was that the horrifying explosion of the mushroom rock was truly shocking . It had destroyed a whole segment at the top of the rock, so the flying creatures living on the rock had no doubt suffered a disaster . Even if some of them had survived, they should have no time for Sheyan and the others here .

At that moment, Ramtas walked in and gestured for Sheyan to follow him outside . Once outside, Sheyan immediately noticed the brownish-red smoke column in the distance . . . .

Within the "Bridgehead" base that the Kitty Hawk had transformed into .

Major General Mungo and Major General Fiji were standing with their back straight in stiff military uniforms . They did not even dared to breathe too hard, as if their breathing would be disrespectful .

In front of them was a holographic projection of an old man sitting in a wheelchair . The old man's military uniform showed that he was a General . Although he was disabled, his hawk nose and seemingly muddy eyes exuded an oppressive pressure .
