Chapter 2: Betrayal

The artificial passage that runs from the outermost layer of the adventitious nest to the center is located in the path of the main gun of the mothership Hope, the largest spaceship in the Human Interstellar Alliance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In accordance with the instructions conveyed by the Combat Command Headquarters before the start of the battle and recorded in the strategic and tactical plan, the first and second combat detachments must return immediately after the "digging" of the artificial passage is completed, and then fly out of the passage as soon as possible with the help of the third squadron carrying out the task of reinforcing the perimeter wall and the fourth squadron carrying out the task of guarding and guarding the perimeter.

Ping An, who controls the mecha to fly through the passage, flies past the slimy surrounding wall, and in the process of constantly dodging the adventitious insects that quickly stretch over and try to grab her tentacles, while using the few remaining projectiles to shoot the indeterminate insects that catch up, while retorting to his artificial intelligence friend Dior, who is temporarily housed in the mecha operating system.

"Dior, of course I know how difficult it is to fly out of the artificial passage after the artificial passage is opened, before the Adventitious Worm in the middle of the lair can use its own alien cells to build a barrier wall that can change the path of the cannonballs fired by the Hope's main cannon. However, if I want to give up covering others, completely ignore the other comrades, and only think about my own evacuation, I really can't do it. ”

"Peace! I'm here to help you! Suddenly, the words from the communication device were not finished, and the owner of the voice, Mingguang, manipulated the mecha to fly at great speed, and once again appeared in Ping'an's field of vision.

Slightly lowered her eyes and glanced at the portrait of the man who appeared on the display, a man who was twenty years old like her, and responded with a light smile with a smile "Then thank you again, Mingguang", but she would never have thought that this comrade-in-arms who was willing to block bullets for him on the battlefield would draw a knife against her at the last moment of the battle.

The two who have cooperated sincerely countless times, and in the past three years, they have cooperated tacitly to shoot and kill countless adventitious insects together, and soon greeted several others, because the back power propulsion device was damaged to varying degrees, so the comrades who fell behind were quickly "in charge", so as to escape to the exit of the passage as soon as possible, and put down more than 40 adventitious insects that were chasing up.

Subsequently, just when Ping An thought that the task of covering behind the palace had been completed, and it was time for him to carry out the two-person "position" with his comrade-in-arms Mingguang and escape to the exit of the passage together, he noticed that he had distanced himself from the "tail" of the first to fourth squads, and it was impossible for other comrades-in-arms to detect his next move Mingguang, but at this moment, he suddenly opened fire, completely destroying the back power propulsion device of the mecha controlled by Ping An in the blink of an eye.

"Mingguang! What the hell are you doing? ”

The explosion of the power propulsion device on the back caused the mecha that was being operated by Ping An to completely crack apart where the back armor had already been damaged.

Ping An, who was sitting in the control cabin located in the chest cavity of the humanoid mecha, was also able to penetrate the wall of the control cabin with the power of the explosion, and then shot from her back to the control seat, slicing the combat suit, and further opening a huge wound on the left side of her ribs, which was ten centimeters long and about three centimeters deep.

"Mingguang? Why are you doing this? ”

In the mecha that shook violently due to the shock wave generated by the explosion, he struggled to maneuver to prevent the mecha that had lost its back power propulsion device from crashing directly out of control into the sticky passage wall, and while not feeling the pain for the time being because of the adrenaline surge, and not even realizing that he was injured, he couldn't believe that his comrade-in-arms Mingguang was actually fired at her not because of accidental injury, but after aiming at her.

"Peace, I'm happy to have fought side by side with you for the past three years, but I'm sorry that you have to die here today. The people of the combat command headquarters have already given me an order half a month ago that you must end your life in the last battle. So now, please die as a martyr in this final battle! ”

With both hands and feet, it was not easy to re-maintain the balance of the mecha, and now except for a set of basic power propulsion devices on the soles of the mecha, there is no other way to help the mecha floating in the middle of the passage due to weightlessness, and the effective means of moving forward, just looking at the bright light that opened the back power propulsion device at maximum power, after the voice fell, he manipulated the mecha that spewed out a bright blue flame, and swept towards the end of the passage at great speed.

"The combat command said they were going to let me die here? Why? Am I not one of the strongest 100-man combat elite of the Human Interstellar Alliance? Isn't everyone in our Eagle Commando Team a 'priceless treasure' that can be defeated by one against ten, or even by one against hundred? So why? Why did the commander ask Mingguang to throw me here, who had dedicated myself to the army and fought since I was six years old and went to military school? ”

In the artificial passage, which was rapidly dimmed due to the disappearance of the bright light, the safety of the powerful power propulsion device was lost, and it was soon overtaken by the uncertain insects that attacked from the rear again.

Because the right leg of the mecha was entangled by the tentacles stretched out by the indefinite insects, he had to turn the direction of the mecha, facing the center of the nest, and looking at the peace of the enemies attacking him through the huge screen in front of him like the front window of the car.

"It is encased by a gelatinous external cell, and then like a pathogen engulfed by phagocytic cells, it is engulfed into the body of the adventitious worm, and finally it is dissolved and absorbed in the real body of the adventitious worm, and nothing is left? This kind of death, I can't accept anything. ”

I didn't have time to think about why I was ordered to be completely erased by the headquarters, and I knew that it was impossible for me to leave this passage alive and ask Mingguang or my boss for a clear peace, and all I could do now was to die with dignity.

The number of remnants on the display was dropping rapidly, and the beating countdown showed exactly how long it was until the shells fired by the Hope cannon hit the center of the nest.

"I'd rather be completely blown to pieces in the huge shock wave from the cannonball, rather than be part of the adventitious worm after I die." This is the last insistence of the hopeless peace of escape.
