The Dead Lands were a dangerous place, for aside from the Citadel and the Bastions, there were no safe places where people could be sure that monsters wouldn't come and kill them. However, this world wasn't some game where monsters were programmed to appear no matter what. If the Phantoms killed all the monsters in a region, a certain area would become safe for a while. Yeah, it was pretty simple. Unless there were sudden artifact anomalies or other incidents, the number of monsters would only recover after a while. There were still some monsters near the exploded volcano, most of them had come here to join the battle. But, Oskar and the others quickly eliminated all of them. By now, several long hours had passed and the Harvesters and a few fighters had even managed to arrive at the volcano. Among the fighters, there was one that was different from the rest. This fighter was much larger, multiple times, had a less sharp shape, and was much wider and taller. It was the - BH-01. The Phantoms rarely used these fighters, for they were not as fast, had almost no weapons, and were a lot bigger. Well, the BH-01 fighters had their own tasks, they were inferior in all respects to the main SH-01 fighters that all Phantoms used, especially in speed. But, in one thing the BH-01 fighters were far outclassed by their counterparts - volume. Inside an SH-01 fighter could fit several Phantoms and a pilot, nothing more, at most food, water Nexuses, and a ton of various weapons. BH-01 fighters could hold ten or hundreds of monsters depending on their size, many Phantoms, and most importantly Harvesters. The Harvesters were the ones who used the BH-01 fighters the most. There were several reasons for this. First, the BH-01 could bring Harvesters to gather resources from hundreds or even thousands of monsters and put them into the airplane. Sure, no BH-01 fighter could fit a thousand monsters, a few hundred at most, but that was what Harvesters were for. Igno Ant was the size of a human, but after the Harvester collected all the valuable materials, the original size of the monster would be 10% or 20%. True, each monster was different, but the fact remained that the BH-01 fighter did not get the corpses of monsters, but only parts of their bodies. Secondly, Harvesters had to somehow get to distant territories. If it was Rusty Ruins, Alienated Rocks, or Scorching Desert, the Harvesters were initially in squads or moved with trucks. The range wasn't too long, the dangerous monsters were few and far between and their numbers weren't high either. Sure, soon other monsters would come here instead of these ones, but it would take time. The Harvesters worked together and kept serious faces, but occasionally they smiled, laughed, and talked to each other about something. Well, when one team of five Harvesters had to cut up the twentieth Igno Ants, it became a routine and boring job, and only friendly chats could save them from boredom. Adam stood off to the side leaning against a massive black tree with his arms crossed over his chest and a deep gaze. "How unusual..." Adam muttered, looking at one group of Harvesters that were busy cutting up a Red Horned Lizard. Find adventures on mvl They cut off the lizard's horn, sighed, and headed for BH-01, placing the horns in the storage room, which already had several dozen of them. Adam felt as if he was not in Dead Lands, but in some factory or something, in some active industrial zone where everyone was busy with work. Step. Step. Step. Soon several steps were heading toward Adam. By the number of steps and their pace, he realized it was two people, so he thought it was someone from Golden Light Squad or Katrin and someone else. However... Turning around he saw two Harvesters, a guy and a girl. The young man had black hair and the girl had shoulder-length blonde hair. They were smiling broadly, the young man was waving his hand actively running up to Adam. Adam tilted his head in confusion. He didn't recognize these people and didn't understand why they were so eager to meet him. "Hey! Don't you remember us?" The young man asked with an excited expression. Adam raised an eyebrow. The girl stepped forward and said respectfully with a slight nod. "I'm Verna and this is Felix." At the same moment, Adam's eyes went wide for these were his first Harvesters. They were the ones with whom Adam headed on his first mission that led to a battle against the Prime Stone Goliath.
