Chapter 266: Picking and Stepping on Bugs
Mo Ye and Yan An discussed the next plan of action for about a quarter of an hour, to be precise, Yan An should be talking alone, most of the time Mo Ye just listened carefully.
"In the end, this matter is still inseparable from the insect domain. Yan An shook his head, he was very skeptical that there was really a solution.
Mo Ye saw him take off his glasses and shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to get rid of all those annoying things, and after putting his glasses back on, he suddenly changed the topic, "I haven't received any news from Burgess, and I don't know how Luo Yuning and 11 followed the reinforcements into the front line." ”
"Alive. Mo Ye replied lazily, and then frowned again, "I'm sure 11 is still alive and well." ”
As for Luo Yuning, although she also left a spiritual imprint on Luo Meizi's body, it was too far away for spiritual power to be induced.
She had already terminated the master-servant contract with 11, perhaps because of the residual effect of the soul contract, she was more sensitive and sensitive to the magic imprints left on 11's body, and Mo Ye was a little surprised when she found this.
"Maybe our regiment, along with the people of the Yama Temple, should be equipped with biochips to facilitate tracking information and determining whether life is safe or not. ”
Mo Ye was skeptical of this and did not immediately agree with Yan An's statement.
"The Explorer badge would be nice. ”
Yan An touched the badge necklace on his chest when he heard this, "It is very useful, and the information is not affected by the network, but it is fully automatic or passively activated, and we can't use its advanced functions at all." ”
The Explorer Emblem is certainly much more useful than a normal biochip, but it really can't be actively used.
In addition to determining that 11's life is still alive, the other Mo Ye naturally knows nothing, and may not know as much as Yan An, a guy who is everywhere in the intelligence line.
"To get to a place with internet access, contact Burgess first. Mo Ye paused, frowning, "Communicating with the Freedom Resistance Army and the Independence Army......
Before Mo Ye finished speaking, Yan An had already smiled knowingly, "Don't worry, just leave these things to me." ”
Mo Ye nodded, but he didn't breathe a sigh of relief.
The black line was like an abyss chasing behind her, unfathomable and elusive, so that Mo Ye could not sleep.
Mo Ye turned around and closed his eyes facing the starry sky, letting go of his mind and immersing himself in communication with the magical elements.
The voices of Yan An and Xiao Qi gradually faded away.
"Ink Ink"
"Momo, are you listening?"
"The host ......"
Until finally nothing could be heard, the whole world fell silent, and in the next second, another kind of activity appeared in the spiritual perception.
Scattered elements surround the body, from all directions, the ink night is used, scrambling.
The encirclement of the magical elements and the enrichment of the magic fountain made Mo Ye temporarily forget all his troubles and only immerse himself in the world of magic.
For magicians, the best way to cure insomnia is meditation.
.......
Covenant, Burgess,
Insomnia, it is not only Mo Ye and Yan An who can't sleep well, but Betty and Second Brother Luo in Burgess are also worried day and night, a bunch of troubles hit their heads, and they don't remember when the last time they slept peacefully.
Burgess then retreated to the line of defense of Allasol, away from the border of the Free Federation of Viatania, and chose a safer position to garrison.
Every once in a while, starships come to the port, some of them are Yama explorers on missions, planetary guardians, and some trade fleets.
The airport is busy every day.
Betty glanced at the financial report submitted by the assistant, there was a financial summary of the trade fleet under His Highness Yama, the revenue report of a series of industries such as military factories, biological gene research institutes, drug production, and so on.
Looking at the documents popping up on the light screen in front of her, Betty felt that the temperature of her whole body had risen several degrees, and the flame streaks could burn at any time.
She really didn't expect that even these things needed to be involved in managing these affairs, the longer she stayed in the Yama Palace, the longer the acting commander-in-chief could feel, Yan An's hard work, it was not easy, so it was better to let the head of the regiment come back as soon as possible.
Stared at by Betty's hot and cold eyes, the assistant suppressed the feeling of weakness in his legs, "These have already been reviewed by professionals, you can take a look." ”
"Okay. Betty secretly breathed a sigh of relief, almost frightened, thinking that she would have to calculate it herself, and every day she was frightened by a new mess.
First the resettlement of refugees, and then the terrible amount of these financial statements, which are dazzling at a glance and want to explode.
Betty glanced at the communication list, 11 and Luo Yuning still didn't have any feedback, and the last contact was two days ago.
At this time, I am afraid that the most anxious person is the second brother Luo who went out to sweep the Zerg with the mecha team, and he could only turn his worries into anger and vent it to the Zerg warriors.
The battle of the Allasol Line continued, even though it was known that there was danger, but after the first expedition, the Star Alliance alliance was already difficult to ride, and there was no way to retreat, so it could only continue.
And Luo Yuning, who entered the front line of the war zone with the reinforcements, and 11 and the army, like the large army, lost contact with them unexpectedly.
Three groups of Star Alliance forces have lost contact on the front line in the same theater, and even the main battle faction does not dare to continue to export large troops to the front line at this time.
The troops who rushed in the later stage formed a bizarre and anxious confrontation on the periphery of the war zone, and the Star Alliance alliance forces were actually extremely passive, they didn't understand what was going on in the lost area.
The front line of the war zone, the area of lost contact.
The insect ships were scattered in the outermost part, and the crimson behemoths in the starry sky were like blood-red eyes staring at the human fleets that did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
The destroyer Thor, in the main control room of the ship's cabin, the captain looked at the scarlet insect ships on the light curtain with hatred.
Time seemed to stand still, and there was nothing they could do but stare at it.
"Any news?"
This was the seventh inquiry of the commander in three hours.
"Report to the chief, there is no feedback, and there is no news from the reconnaissance team. ”
The correspondent quickly clicked on the light screen with both hands, and there was nothing but a large patch of crimson.
There was a bad speculation in the minds of the people, but no one wanted to bring it up, and they didn't want to believe that it would happen.
From time to time, there were skirmishes on the periphery of the theater, and there were clashes between bug ships and starships, but neither side chose to attack on a large scale.
The Zerg seem to be brewing a bigger conspiracy, but the Star Alliance alliance is passive and can only stand still.
Lost contact areas on the front line of the theater of operations,
The three warships are not far apart, forming a standard delta wing formation, hovering in the air to maintain a hidden state and remain motionless, maintaining a minimum energy consumption state and reducing the sense of presence as much as possible.
Except for the most basic systems such as oxygen supply, all other functions are turned off, and they are eager to disappear into the starry sky.
The main fleet of the Star Alliance this time, the cruiser, and the Sabertooth are no exception to the main battleships of these three warships.
"Report, report, everything is normal, no trace of the Zerg found, no anomalous energy fluctuations. ”
The feedback from the reconnaissance communications that had just come came was a little relieved for those waiting on the ship.
In the past three days, there has not been a single second of day when you don't need to be on high alert.
The fleet of twenty warships has been broken up so far, and only the three main cruisers led by the Sabertooth are still gathered together, and the other ships have lost contact with each other, and their lives and deaths are unknown.
On the Sabertooth, 11 and Luo Yuning squatted in front of the observation window of the ship's watchtower on the left and right, staring at the dark starry sky without blinking.
Holding the weapon in both hands, without the slightest relaxation, every cell in the body is in a state of readiness, ready to mobilize every inch of muscle and every ounce of energy to prepare for battle.
Another hour passed.
The two of them, wearing special glasses, could see in the darkness in droves of black dots the size of a baby's fist.
Enlarge the picture, and you can clearly see that those black dots are the Zerg, the space Zerg that can survive in space freely.
When the fleet enters the front line of this theater of operations, it is equivalent to entering the lair of this zerg, which is everywhere.
In addition, there is another space zerg, according to the experience of 11 and Luo Yuning, the kind of zerg that the two of them have not seen so far must have spatial attributes, and the star field in this area has been tossed like a labyrinth.
11 glanced at the bearing indicator compass, and it was crazy to spin around, and there would be large changes every once in a while, even if the starship did not move at all.
The positioning and navigation device on the battleship is the same, it looks normal and uses it normally, but the final direction indication is never right, no matter which direction it is heading, the ship is just going around in this circle.
It is impossible to relax, because it is not known when the battle will take place.
Those blood-sucking leech-like zergs could frantically swarm up at any moment, and Luo Yuning remembered that not long ago, she had witnessed how another small reconnaissance ship in the fleet had been destroyed in an instant.
Those bugs can absorb not only the energy of the ship, but also the energy of humans and other living beings, as long as they are absorbed, there is not a single scum left that will be sucked by accident.
The ability to reduce all matter to energy, and the waste in the transformation process can be almost indiscriminate, this magical ability is a terrible nightmare for the soldiers of the Star Alliance.
The Zerg with spatial attributes joined forces with this energy-absorbing space Zerg, plus those space reconnaissance Zerg patrolling around, the Sabertooth's situation at this time can be said to be very dangerous.
"Do you just keep hiding like this, waiting for them to leave in waves?"
"It is impossible for such a large-scale Zerg operation to be carried out without a commander and a mother worm, as long as the commander and the mother worm are solved, the threat of these Zerg will naturally be greatly reduced. ”
After the two finished speaking, they glanced at each other and gave each other a pair of white eyes, yes, they knew such a simple truth, the coalition fleet also knew, and every soldier knew it, but the most critical problem still could not be solved.
Where are the Zerg Commander and the Worm, and how can they find the damn Zerg Commander and the Worm.
What's more, there is also the Imperial Expeditionary Force lurking in this area, and the mecha team in charge of reconnaissance has already fought several encounters with the Expeditionary Force.
"The blood-sucking leeches are coming. ”
This is the code name given to this peculiar Zerg by the fighters of the coalition fleet.
At the sentry post position on the other side of Luo Yuning and 11, the scouts alerted the whole ship.
"Be careful"
"Return immediately"
"Return immediately"
With the assistance of the spatial attribute zerg, these blood-sucking leeches are always elusive, and the reconnaissance team outside the ship obviously didn't find anything in the last minute, but at this moment, a wave suddenly surged.
Black, invisible bugs move densely in the starry sky.
The ship can only stand still, and any violent energy fluctuations will immediately attract these zergs to rush up frantically, just like piranhas that smell blood, they will rush up like crazy and frantically absorb all the energy and convert it into their own use.
"I can't avoid it. ”
There were too many of them this time, and once one of them hit the hull, the concealment of the fleet was nothing more than a gamble of luck.
The reality is that good luck ends here.
"It's coming. ”
A red alert sounds.
Luo Yuning and 11 rose to the ground almost at the same time, running to the left and right sides respectively, choosing different directions.
The two of them moved extremely fast, and 11 was so fast that they quickly disappeared without a trace, and the figure could not be seen moving.
Even wearing light space combat suits did not affect the mobility of the two.
11 The steps under his feet suddenly softened, and his movements were slightly sluggish." ”
One by one, black 'blood-sucking leeches' were pasted up.
Opening the energy shield against such zergs will not have any effect, and it will not even withstand the physical defense, but will speed up their growth and provide them with more energy nutrients.
It's not impossible to attack with heavy fire, but that will definitely alarm other lurking enemies, and it is definitely not a good thing for the Sabertooth, who is deep in the belly of the enemy camp.
Luo Yuning and 11 left through different hatches, and the safety lead rope firmly tied them to the battleship.
The best way to deal with this kind of bug is to kill it with one hit, and leave no corpses, otherwise the constant division will only add trouble to yourself.
11 and Luo Yuning are not the first time to face this kind of zerg, including all the soldiers who go out to fight on the ship, they have already known this and have been prepared for it for a long time.
The fist-sized bug was shot by the freezing gun, and there were many more Xiaoice blocks outside the entire cabin.
The only way to deal with this zerg is to take this stupid way of saving energy, and see who can pick up more between the melting of the ice.
I've tried fire and thunder slashes, all kinds of energy weapons, and there is no more effective way than freezing, although stupid is a little stupid.
You think it's going out to fight?
No, of course, I went out with a basket to pick insects to see who picked them faster and more.
After harvesting, it has to be disposed of centrally, and crushed one after another, and other methods are not possible.
At this time, 11 routinely misses Mo Ye, tears up the space, and throws all these things out without being so troublesome.
