Volume 2 Xianxia Civilization Chapter 67: Unknown Base
The Earth Federation has experienced a leap forward in development, and the genetic abilities of human beings have become more powerful with the improvement of civilization. In order to obtain more genetic samples, various teams are gradually formed in the process of hunting the Zerg.
Thirty-eight-year-old Michael Gers served in the Special Forces for ten years, and now he is a Zerg hunter along with his former comrades. At this moment, he led the team to walk in the depths of the Olympus Mountains, and the strange cries of the Zerg sounded in the mountains from time to time. Michael Gerth looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes glinting with a strange light, clearly using his genetic abilities.
The scene within tens of kilometers around him turned into various symbols and appeared in his pupils, and his gaze finally locked on the southwest direction. Patches of Zerg were gnawing on trees in the jungle, and a monster that was distinctly different from the other Zerg was roaring, which was not recorded in the genetic samples of the Zerg Hunters Association in his memory.
Michael Jacks said to the others:
"Brothers, this time we are going to get rich, the number of enemies seems to be quite large, and they all give me spiritual points. ”
These Zerg acted strangely, completely different from the Zerg that the team had previously eliminated. Michael Gerth was unimpressed, judging from experience, the Zerg might have established a base here. As long as they can obtain the genetic samples of the unknown zerg, it is enough for them to get a good reward.
The emerging profession of the Zerg hunter is similar to the bounty hunter of various novels of the 21st century, except that the target of the hunt has changed from humans to Zerg.
According to the relevant information, the Zerg on Earth have been further strengthened, and in just a few months, the lowest level of the Zerg has expanded by about 30% in size, increased in strength by more than 50%, and nearly doubled in speed. As a result, the Unknown Zerg Gene Sample has increased the reward amount, and the Zerg Gene Sample can be obtained earlier, which means that there will be more chips in Civilization War.
Michael Gerth couldn't remember any of this at all, and he didn't have any interest in the changes in the Zerg. The strength of the enemy means that the hunting target is reduced, and in the past, the squad could deal with the Zerg in thousands, but now he has to deal with the Zerg in the face of about five hundred.
The players have unconditional trust in him, and he still performs the same in every action. Although it seemed that victory was in hand, the uneasiness in his heart became more intense.
Dozens of kilometers are not an obstacle for a team that cooperates tacitly and is good at jungle warfare, that is, it is just a trip of more than an hour. Michael Jas's actions were discovered by the Zerg, who owned the base and knew everything that was happening around the base. The leader of the Zerg kept making noises, as if he was giving all kinds of orders.
As the team approached, the Zerg continued to retreat, and once these Zerg withdrew, the battle that the team would face would no longer be able to control. After receiving his order, the team members launched their own attack skills, and the retreating Zerg began to suffer casualties.
The opponent had the numerical advantage but did not fight back, and soon most of the Zerg successfully broke out of the team's attack range.
A team of less than thirty people maintained a battle formation and pursued the Zerg, and everyone pursued the enemy for ten kilometers in the jungle without seeing the enemy.
A cave suddenly appeared in front of it, and it was clearly not a natural formation. Michael Gers left all 7 members of the 2nd Combat Team at the entrance of the cave, and he personally led the 1st and 3rd Combat Groups to explore the cave. As for the ambush of the Zerg, he was not worried about it, and based on his experience in fighting the Zerg, the Zerg had no tactics to speak of except for being fearless of death.
The cave was not too deep, and everyone only walked a few dozen meters before they could see the end, but the cave was empty except for the eggs that had already hatched.
Michael Gers stared at the hatched shell, his face pale, and his face was even more bruised. His feet kept kicking away piles of empty shells, but there was still no sign of the zerg.
The rest of the team was also aware of the seriousness of the matter, with one member of the team saying:
"Captain, we should ......"
A strong man interrupted him and said loudly:
"Shut up Lao Tzu, the captain will not make mistakes!"
Michael Gers bent down to take a closer look at the empty shell and said:
"We've been fooled, hurry up, this should be an abandoned Zerg hatching cave. ”
A little dwarf behind him said half-jokingly in order to ease the atmosphere:
"Captain, is it a trap set for us by the Zerg?...... Haha......"
The laughter was not echoed by everyone, and as a veteran of many battles, he had long sensed the danger coming, but the more times like this, the more he should ease the tension.
Michael Gers bowed his head and said to himself:
"I really hope this is just a joke, if the Zerg have such intelligence, I'm afraid the future war will be even more difficult. ”
Michael Gzes received a message from the second battle group in the thinking network:
"Captain, the situation is not good, there are a large number of zergs around us. We've never seen a lot of them, and the number of enemies is at least in the thousands, so what's going on over there?"
An experienced team member said with a pale face:
"Captain, we are completely surrounded by these zergs. Just now I tried to contact the nearby Zerg Hunter Association through the Thinking Network, but the other party seems to be able to interfere with the communication of the Thinking Network, and I am afraid it will be a little difficult to break through this time without support. ”
Others immediately tried to contact the outside world, but all of them failed. This has never happened since the Earth Federation established the Mind Network, and even in the vast universe where other galaxies are exploring, the communication of the Mind Network is still unimpeded.
There must be a special class of troops in the unknown Zerg that shield the transmission of information, and the humans in the Earth Federation have long been accustomed to the convenience and efficiency of the thinking network. Michael Jess instantly realized the gravity of the matter and had to find a way to get people to break through.
He carefully observed the number of enemies, and with the combat power of the squad, even if he ran out of ammunition, he could not destroy all the zerg in his perception. He forcibly expanded the scope of his capabilities, and there was a Zerg base not far from them, which was completely different in size from the Zerg base that was attacked by nuclear bombs, and many of the buildings were not recorded in the materials at all.
The Zerg take the sudden appearance of the team very seriously, and what they find may be a base secretly built by the Zerg on Earth. The other party should have mastered a part of the relevant information of the thinking network, otherwise there will never be a situation where the information is isolated. Now the breakthrough is undoubtedly self-defeating, and it seems that it is necessary to wait for the enemy to let down his vigilance.
Michael Gers said to the team member in charge of logistics next to him:
"How long can we last for this trip. ”
One of the team members stepped out and said:
"Report to the captain, we did not anticipate any emergencies in this operation, and according to normal standards, everyone only prepared water and essential supplies for a week. In normal times, we can rely on hunting to replenish food, but it is obviously impossible to achieve this under the current situation, so all kinds of supplies can support up to 6 days. ”
Most of his teammates began to report their supplies, which largely matched his description.
The three teams take turns guarding the entrance of the cave, and the team can still rely on the location to maneuver with the Zerg in the cave, and if they want to break through, they will face enemies from all sides.
The crowd leaned against the walls of the cave and slept pretendically, but no one could really get enough rest. Everyone had a question in their minds, why did the Zerg become so intelligent and use tactics to lure the enemy into the depths! They were so disciplined and knew how to strategy and tactics, even the self-defense forces of the counties in the federation were just like that.
Michael Jas and all the team members spent five days in helplessness and despair, and the Zerg showed no signs of letting up, they seemed to know the human habits very well, and besieging but not attacking was the best option to deal with the team.
The team's morale was at rock bottom, and everyone had no hope for what was going on. With little supply left, Michael Jess had to make a desperate bet, and he said to everyone:
"Brothers, I have decided to break out tonight, and the three teams will attack in the east, south, and north directions. Anyone who has the opportunity to escape must not care about their teammates, and do their best to inform the association of the information that the Zerg can block the thinking network. This is not a personal issue, and if we are wiped out, many more of our compatriots will die in future wars. ”
Most of the team members are Michael Gers's old subordinates and comrades, and the captain is a decent man, and the reason he left the army is that he does not want to sacrifice his teammates to complete the mission. And his words at this time were full of helplessness, compared to the Zerg war, personal feelings and principles must be compromised.
...... Rumble...... Rumble......!
A huge explosion rang out, and the entire cave shook.
Michael Gers contacts the players stationed at the entrance of the cave in the Thinking Network:
"What's going on outside, what's going on?"
The garrison immediately sent a message:
"Captain, it seems to be reinforcements. Those who should have strong genetic abilities are fighting the Zerg. ”
The noise did not last long, and soon the entire jungle returned to its former tranquility. The Zerg outside the cave scattered and fled, leaving only corpses in one place.
A young man and a woman appeared in front of the group.
The two of them were dressed in the same way as everyone in the team, and their identities did not need to be confirmed, and they were obviously also Zerg hunters.
The man who wiped out a large number of Zerg was none other than Feiyun, and he asked Yun Miao with his consciousness:
"The life nodes that suddenly disappeared in the thinking network should be back to normal, right? These Zerg are not genetically capable, but they have the function of interfering with life information. A small medium-sized civilization can evolve an individual with a shielded thinking network clone in a short period of time, and it should be time to study the genetic evolution process of the Zerg. ”
After receiving the message, Yun Miao replied:
"There are twenty-eight missing life nodes, and now they are all back to normal, and if you don't remind me, I won't find them. Why are you so concerned about this all of a sudden?"
Feiyun received the message and replied directly:
"Since the decision must be done well, I didn't have much contact with the Zerg civilization before. Absorbing their genes didn't do much for me, so I didn't study them carefully, so I took this opportunity to study the bugs. ”
