"As far as I know, there are not many fantasy technologies that can be applied to the real world, and the more advanced the science fiction world, the less likely it is to be taken out of the nightmare world. So I don't really understand, what do you want with so many people this time? Shen Hao stared at Anna's eyes, "Only by knowing your purpose can I know what kind of enemy I will face in order to protect you, this request is not too much, right?" ”

"Of course, I don't think there must be a conflict of our interests, so there's no need to keep it secret from you." Anna smiled, and a pair of beautiful eyes narrowed into two good-looking crescents, "Although fantasy technology is difficult to be applied in the real world due to the support of fantasy theory, the genetic structure of organisms is not within this limitation. What's more, some organism organs with nightmare energy reactions can be stored in the nightmare space for a short time, so we can use some cells and tissues that have been taken out of the nightmare realm to study new gene combinations and improve our company's biotechnology. ”

"Not bad idea, but I don't think these ordinary alien insects will be looked at by you." Shen Hao touched his chin, "Could it be that your target is the Demon Body of the Nightmare Realm this time?" That's a big guy, are you sure you have enough combat power? ”

"Somewhat prepared, if it's just a single high-level nightmare, the success rate of our hunt is about 85%, if the number of enemies is more than two, it will be reduced by half." Anna put down the wine glass, suddenly leaned forward, and a pretty face suddenly came to Shen Hao's eyes, and Shen Hao could even clearly smell her body fragrance hidden under the smell of perfume. "However, if Mr. Shen is willing to make a move for us once, our action this time will be almost nine out of ten."

Shen Hao leaned back, avoiding her burning eyes. Picking up the beer glass in front of him, he drank the remaining liquor in it, then exhaled a breath of wine and said, "I can accept your employment, but after your team converges, I need some command. ”

"No problem, in the world of Nightmare Hunters, the strong have always been respected, and I think they will gladly follow your command." Anna sat back in her seat, inhaled the wine from the goblet in her hand, and then stretched out her right hand to Shen Hao again. "Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance, and in addition, I hope that Mr. Shen can take more care of the little girl in the future."

"It's a pleasure to work with." Shen Hao shook her hand quietly.

"Helmsman, if you don't mind, I don't recommend you follow us." When Anna and the three of them walked away, Shen Hao turned back to Ma Cheng on the side and said, "The world of the Star Sea is extremely vast, if you are just surviving with your skills, it should not be difficult. And we are moving towards the very center of danger, and you can imagine the difficulty of challenging the advanced nightmare, and if you are not careful, you will die and your soul will be scattered. So you have to think twice about what to do next. ”

Ma Shennian lowered his head and was silent, the wine glass in his hand kept turning, and the bottom of the glass rubbed against the bar table with a "rustle" sound, obviously his heart was also hesitant.

After a long time, the swirling beer glass stopped, and he took it and drank it down, then slammed it down on the table.

"Shen Tianwang, I beg you to take me with you!" Ma Chennian's eyes seemed to be flushed with red bloodshots, he clasped his hands into fists, bowed deeply to Shen Hao, and said solemnly, "My master has always told me before his death that as a nightmare hunter, I must face difficulties, and blindly avoiding will not bring me hope in life. Those who are afraid of the dead die quickly, put the death on the ground and live later, this is the pursuit of a warrior, and the survival of a nightmare hunter! So, please take me with you, even if you die at the hands of the Nightmare, you can't fall for the Nightmare Hunter's majesty! ”

"Hehe, what is the majesty of the Nightmare Hunter. It's just a group of struggling people who are not willing to be reduced to food......" Shen Hao smiled and shook his head, "However, you are not wrong in saying something, 'Those who fear the death die quickly, and those who die will live later,' the lives of the hunters are all snatched out and fought for, and if you want to live forever, you must not be afraid of death." ”

"Turn around and follow me as much as possible, and I'll do my best to save your life......"

......

The golden sky had turned a cloudy earthy yellow, and the smoke that still shrouded the air had turned it gray again. It's an oppressive color, the same color as bluestone slabs, cold. It looks uncomfortable.

On July 16, 1346 in the ephemeris, the twenty-fourth day of the Zerg invasion.

Curtia City, the last human settlement on the XK-3 colony planet, has been devastated.

The crimson glow of the fire illuminated the smoke that hung low over the town. The blood-red color enveloped the panicked crowd in the square. The screams, shouts, and howls rang out in one piece, chaotic and piercing, but some shouts from someone who didn't know who made them clearly reached Su Yue's ears.

"Where are the federal troops? What about the Marines?"

"Don't fight with me. Take care of the kids! Don't get separated!"

"Hasn't the Star Sea Fleet already arrived? How can the bugs still attack here......"

"Oh my God, has the fleet's war against the Zerg been lost? ”

The Star Sea Fleet, one of the ten main fleets of the Earth Federation, rushed to the periphery of the gravitational circle of the XK-3 colony planet a week ago, and soon exchanged fire with the Zerg, during this time, the number of Zerg on the surface suddenly decreased a lot, and it seems that these Zerg also felt the threat of the cutting-edge force of human beings, and shifted most of their attention to outer space, which gave the surviving people on the surface of the planet a chance to breathe.

Su Yue and Mo Chenyan, who had recovered from her injuries, also took the opportunity to join the team and rushed to this planet, the last city of mankind, Cotia City.

It was an A-class city on the peninsula, with an easy terrain and far from the Zerg landing point, so it was barely saved thanks to the concerted efforts of the planetary garrison and the marines who later forced to land here. In addition to the federal troops stationed there, the city is also home to about 60,000 ordinary residents.

Ever since the news of the Zerg invasion was confirmed, everyone has lived in fear, and today, the nightmare has become a reality.

Half an hour earlier, the five temporary outposts set up outside the city had lost contact, and almost all the soldiers and civilians in the city had been mobilized, and no one could stay out of such a race war.

Immediately afterward, a boundless insect tide came, and countless alien insects surrounded and violently attacked the fortifications of Curtia City like a black ocean. All the soldiers and civilians rushed to the city defenses, red eyes, clenched the weapons in their hands, and frantically poured ammunition over the heads of the swarm.

Under the cover of countless jumping insects that are not afraid of death, a large number of acid insects also straightened their bodies, their chests and abdomen bulging, pouring a large amount of acid on the humans in the distance like a torrential rain, and harvesting the lives of the warriors.

"Sister Su Yue, what should we do?" Mo Chenyan waved her fighting thorn, piercing the two jumping insects that pounced on the battlements and throwing them off the city wall, Su Yue behind her was holding a large-caliber Gauss sniper rifle, shooting calmly, and the whistling bullets ended the lives of the acid worms, but the other party was unable to launch a counterattack against them because of the range.

"Hold on! Even until the last minute! Su Yue put on a new magazine for herself, took the time to answer her, and picked up the rifle again.

At this moment, the shadow that shook overhead caught her eye. A bulging ball-like form, what appeared to be a bunch of brains detached from the flesh, silently appeared above the walls of Curtia. Its tentacles hung underneath like internal organs, pulsating vigorously, reaching out to the middle of the crowd from time to time, entangled and swept away by humans who had no time to resist.

"What kind of monster is this?!" Su Yue's heart was shocked, and he immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and shot at the floating monster.

"Poof—" The monster let out an unpleasant scream as flesh splattered, quickly climbing upwards, quickly out of range of its sniper rifles, but still hovering above the walls.

Su Yue raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed for a while, and finally had no choice but to reluctantly give up the plan to continue the pursuit.

Suddenly, the body of the fat monster floating in the air trembled and slid to the side. Several explosions rang out next to this terrible monster. Its body was shattered in a huge fireball. The swarms that had already rushed to the walls suddenly hesitated.

Five Federation Phantom fighters cut through the smoke overhead, their engines roaring nearly drowning out the cheers that erupted when they were spotted below.

"Our reinforcements are coming!" Su Yue also breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the sniper rifle in his hand and shot the head of an acid worm that was about to vomit from afar.

"I'm going to cover the retreat of the civilians." Mo Chenyan shook off the sticky plasma of the insect on the weapon and looked at the battlefield below. Although the air force of the Star Sea Fleet arrived in time, the impact on the battle situation was not entirely positive. Originally, the common people who thought they would die had risked their lives to fight the Zerg to the death, but now that there is a way to survive, the fighting spirit in their hearts has long disappeared, and many people have given up their weapons and began to gather to the high places in the city. At this moment, only the few garrisons and marines who are still fighting to the death against the bugs are left.

Some agile jumping insects had bypassed the army's defense line and began to chase after the fleeing ordinary people, and many slower elderly people and children were thrown to the ground by them without resistance, and the pungent smell of blood filled the entire block.

The Mirage fighter spun through the air, 25mm pulsed lasers blazing incessantly, striking targets on the side of the collapsing walls.
