Chapter 81: Hope

"Ion pulse cannon, hehe, it's our armored forces coming." After Shen Hao picked off an acid worm that was trying to sneak attack, he breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the back not far away and said to Ma Yinnian, who was already out of breath, "Our mission is complete, let's kill it while the insect swarm is chaotic, so as not to be accidentally injured by our own people." Now it's time for their show......"

At this time, the gunner troops in the rear had already solved the entangled jumping insects, and were re-arraying in the direction of the acid insect swarm, and under the dense gunfire like popping beans, a large number of acid insects were beaten and bleeding all over, and they fell down in struggle. And behind the infantry phalanx, dozens of Gokuu heavy mechs also showed their figures.

These tall steel giants are all over twenty meters tall, and their dark mecha shells are painted with the Earth Federation's logo. The ion pulse cannon on his shoulder flashed with a white light of concentrated energy, holding a twelve-barreled heavy cannon in his right hand and a huge laser war knife in his left hand, with a length of seven or eight meters alone, which looked majestic and terrifying.

The Gokuu Heavy Mech's ion-pulse cannon is so powerful that it needs to be re-energized after each use, but the twelve-barreled heavy cannon in their hands is not an ornament, and the metal storm of 115 mm bullets is enough to grind the bodies of the acid bugs into minced flesh.

Shen Hao and Ma Yinnian finally withdrew to their main formation under the cover of the follow-up troops. As soon as he arrived at a safe place, Ma Yinnian, who had been holding on hard, suddenly sat down without strength, and several medical soldiers wearing white mecha immediately stepped forward to help him treat his wounds.

Shen Hao was not injured, and after putting away his weapon, he returned to the supply station to get himself a drink, and sat down at the table to drink it.

To be honest, this battle was not as easy as he had shown before, and he had used almost all the combat methods except for releasing the Nightmare Energy. And at that last moment, if the armored troops were a minute late, when those acid bug-covered attacks hit, they were not completely sure that they would retreat. And that kid from the True Martial Arts Hall is sure to die eight times out of ten.

Fortunately, the god of luck still favored them, and their efforts were not in vain. With all their might, the Zerg vanguard failed to defeat the infantry division that was the vanguard and gain a foothold on the ground. And at this moment, under the cover of the fire of the armored forces, the Zerg was almost completely suppressed inside the crater. Humans are condescending, and even if those bugs have a numerical advantage, they may not be able to turn the tables. It was only a matter of time before they were all annihilated.

Shen Hao poured a sip of beer, and the cold liquor entered his stomach, making his pores moan comfortably, and his mind was clear.

The meteor showers I saw before didn't seem to be all heading towards the former XA-37 moon, but it seems that many of them fell on the planet. Communications have not yet been restored, and it is unknown if the other garrison bases on the planet have also been attacked.

On the battlefield of the crater, humanity has gained the upper hand, but the swarm does not seem to give up on the attack because of defeat. Countless alien Zerg of different forms launched a fierce charge towards the top of the crater like a tide.

Under the cover of the fire of the armored troops, the remnants of the infantry division and the engineering troops quickly built fortifications at the edge of the crater, and even moved a lot of shore-based defensive firepower to the vicinity of the crater. A steady stream of ammunition is transported to the front lines, where it is then rained down by a variety of guns onto the swarms.

The insect corpses on the ground quickly piled up, but more insects trampled on the corpses of their own kind and continued to pounce on the human position, almost not stopping for a moment. The battle line has repeatedly approached the human defense line, and the human army, which has absolute geographical superiority, has also begun to show casualties, and such casualties are increasing rapidly.

And just then, a swarm of giant beetles that had never been seen before appeared on the battlefield. These beetles are more than four meters tall and about seven or eight meters long, and their body surface is blue-brown with earth. The overall appearance is somewhat similar to that of a cockroach, with eight symmetrical long legs, and the carapace joints on the top and bottom of the body are protruding, full and bulging, and look full of destructive power.

The beetle's head is encased in a thick carapace. The eyes glowed with a fluorescent green glow. They look bulky and crazy, but they move extremely quickly with eight long legs paddling. Knock knock and rush straight towards the steel position of the human race.

Their appearance managed to attract most of the defensive firepower, and countless metal storms focused on them. The beetles screamed in pain, but they didn't stop rushing forward. The dark shell on their body surface is as strong as high-strength alloy armor, and the bullets of slightly smaller caliber cannot penetrate it, and although the large-caliber weapons can punch countless blood holes in their bodies, they cannot easily cause fatal damage under their tenacious vitality.

Soon, the first beetle rushed within a hundred meters of the defensive position, only to see that it suddenly stopped its charge, and the half-man stood up, and the soldiers who were a little closer could even faintly see that the abdomen of the scorching mouthparts suddenly swelled, and then something seemed to be surging towards the mouth.

An indescribably pungent rancid smell suddenly appeared in the air! The breath was so intense that you would vomit almost immediately!

Without waiting for the human soldiers in front of it to react, from its extremely open mouthparts, a large umbrella-shaped arc of yellow liquid erupted, and the liquid seemed to burn violently when it touched the air, and a yellow-green flame instantly enveloped the area about 30 degrees in front of it, and its head swung rhythmically left and right to spread the area of the spit.

A mecha and more than 20 infantry around it were sprayed head-on, and before they could even scream, they were burned into twisted and deformed pieces of iron, and a small gap suddenly appeared in the strong steel defense line.

However, the damage it did did was over, and more fire was concentrated on it, and in a dull, mournful howl, the giant worm struggled to fall into the dust.

Such a situation began to occur frequently around the defensive line, and more than a hundred fire-breathing beetles actually brought nearly a thousand losses to the defenders, and then a large group of jumping insects and acid insects quickly followed, and the pressure on the defensive position was instantly close to the limit.

Fortunately, 400 Pterosaurs helicopter gunships of the Air Force arrived in time, and after a burst of bombing at any cost, they barely stopped the attack of the swarm.

In mid-air, on a red helicopter slightly larger than ordinary Pterosaurs, the outpost's supreme commander, Major General Jon, stared solemnly at the battlefield below, and behind him, four or five staff officers were sweating profusely analyzing the battle situation.

"Could it be ......" Jon's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and he immediately beckoned his chief of staff to his side.

"Inform all flying units that they don't need to save ammunition and immediately concentrate on attacking the giant meteorite in the center of the swarm, and give me the shortest time to smash it!"

......

......

The dawn came, and the golden sunlight stimulated Mo Chenyan's eyeballs through the heavy eyelids, pulling her consciousness back from the endless darkness little by little.

With a thud, she opened her eyes slightly, but soon, a plain hand covered her lips. Su Yue's voice sounded in her ears.

"Shhhh......h

This is a small gap between the wreckage and the wreckage after the collision of the two flying cars. The gap was neither deep nor wide, barely allowing the two girls to squeeze inside. A ray of sunlight in the early morning penetrated through the side of the gap and fell right on Mo Chenyan's pretty face. She moved her aching neck slightly, and just as she tried to sit up, there was a sharp pain in her right arm.

Xiao Nizi's face turned pale instantly, but she stubbornly clenched her teeth, allowing beads of sweat the size of beans to ooze from the corners of her forehead, but she didn't let out a cry of pain.

"Don't move! Your right hand has been broken, I just connected you with a bone, you can't use your strength for the time being! Su Yue held her body and whispered in her ear.

The second woman's infantry armor had long been completely damaged, and she didn't know which piece of ruin she was abandoned, and the tight-fitting combat uniform on her body was also torn in many places, revealing the scarred skin underneath. Through the refracted sunlight, it can be seen that Su Yue's originally beautiful face has a two-inch-long wound horizontally. The bleeding had stopped, but the ugly scars of the flesh had completely ruined her beauty.

This was caused by an apostle-level jumping insect, if it weren't for the imprint and timely warning, this claw would definitely directly cut Su Yue's head.

This sudden apostle directly led to the annihilation of their combat group, and in the end, it was Mo Chenyan who fought with the opponent to defeat both and barely killed him, and Mo Chenyan was also seriously injured and passed out on Su Yue's back.

Su Yue used the simple method of using the Nightmare Energy to heal her injuries that Shen Hao had taught her before, and roughly stabilized Mo Chenyan's injuries. It's a pity that the medicine on the two of them has long been exhausted, and the two of them can't continue to move forward with their tired bodies, so they can only try to find some temporary safe places to hide and seek that glimmer of life.

Fortunately, a few hours ago, the insects that had been patrolling around suddenly became much less, but above the sky, they began to burst out from time to time with clusters of fireworks.

"That's supposed to be reinforcements from the Federation fleet, right?" Su Yue comforted Mo Chenyan in her arms softly, "As long as we hold on a little longer, hold on until our army drives out these damn bugs...... We're going to be able to live, and we're going to be back to that person alive......"
