Chapter 40
Yan Kou glanced at the glamorous Monica and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know how the CEO of a province is so idle and runs here twice in three days." β
"Could it be that you have taken a fancy to the captain?" Bowen rubbed his chin.
Arnold's eyes lit up: "Then can our captain exchange money?" β
Yan Kou almost choked to death from his own saliva, covering his mouth and coughing for a long time, attracting Shang Si, who was not far away with his back to them, to turn his head and glance.
The three of them, who had just whispered, immediately stood upright, indicating that nothing had happened. Shang Si, who didn't notice anything unusual, turned his head and continued to talk to Monica.
Yan Kou let out a sigh of relief, but fortunately he was not discovered.
However, Arnold and Shang Si turned his head, and whispered with interest: "Our captain can really exchange money, right?" How many Crow parts can you buy? β
Yan Kou stretched out his hand and gave him a brain crash: "What do you think, that's our captain!" But if it does, huh...... The CEO of a province should contribute a lot of money......"
Then one old and one young, looking at Shang Si's back, his eyes shining.
Shang Si felt cold all over his body inexplicably.
Xiao Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Lao Yan, are you okay, okay?" Look at your ......," Xiao Yi pointed at Yan Kou and then at Arnold, "can you set an example for young people?" β
Yan Kou: "He brought it up first. β
Xiao Yi: "The upper beam is not ......"
Yan Kou gave Xiao Yi a big look: "The old man just think about it, think about it!" Then he gave Arnold a brain crash.
Arnold covered his head, his big eyes watery: "Why are you beating me again!" β
Yan Kou said with a straight face: "You have to respect the captain, the idea of selling the captain is wrong!" β
Arnold: "You ...... too"
Yan Kou raised his hand and gestured to play.
Arnold......
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, he endures ......
Yan Kou: "Hey, that's right, you must know how to respect your predecessors in the future." β
Arnold was teary-eyed: "Okay." β

After sending Monica away, everyone in the eighth team can finally take a closer look at the mecha that was sent.
The registered name of the mecha sent by Monica is the Flame, and the exterior color is mainly red and orange, 20.63 meters high, weighing 60.5 tons, and it belongs to the melee mecha.
When he heard that he could go up for a test drive, Bird's excitement was palpable. He hadn't piloted a mecha for more than two years, and since graduating from the Curran Military Academy and entering the Central Army, he had never had a chance to fly a mecha again, so he could only rely on the mecha simulation training cabin to stay in shape.
Time is the best way to smooth out a person's edges, and at the beginning, Bird still had hope that one day his boss would discover his strengths and allow him to fly mechs again. However, after much depreciation, Bird gradually gave up this hope.
This time, the border army that was transferred to Anxing Province, Bird was completely desperate. Who in the Central Army does not know that the border army has become similar to the militia after one cut after another. If you want no people, you want to be equipped without equipment. Originally, the funds allocated by the parliament to the army were getting smaller and smaller year by year, and with that limited allocation, the border army could not compete with the central army. The mecha used by the border army in recent years were all eliminated by the Central Army a long time ago.
Even the recently eliminated Central Army will not be given to the border army, these things have to be picked by the police department under the management of the parliament first, and the rest will be given to the border army in turn. He can fly the mecha again when he goes to the border army, but it may not be as good as using the mecha that should have been eliminated a long time ago, at least the simulation cabin can keep him in shape.
He arrived in An Sing Province and met his former alumni and was of course happy that his teammates welcomed him. However, the situation of the eighth detachment did not make him happy. The only working mech is privately owned, and the Raven doesn't even have a mech simulation training pod on it.
When he thought that he could only do odd jobs and could no longer fly a mecha, his captain, Shang Si, who was one year younger than him, actually got a mecha for him.
On loan or not, at least he can get into the cab again and fulfill what he's always dreamed of.
Bird skillfully activated the mech, and after debugging the number of jΓΉ, he connected to the communication and reported to the command room of the Raven.
"The Flame is ready, let's go!"
β¦β¦
Shang Si sat in the command seat and watched the mecha outside the Raven make various movements through the GuΓ² screen. The Flame didn't make any difficult tactical moves, but the set of medium tactical moves it was working on was fluid and coordinated.
Shang Si nodded secretly in his heart, such a smooth movement, it was hard to believe that a pilot who had not been in contact with a mecha for a long time could make it. It seems that although Bird has become a little decadent because of the things he has experienced, he has not given up on training mech piloting.
This is very good, the eighth detachment can have one more combat power, and there is a chance to destroy it when it encounters a level A zerg.
Shang thought about the mother worm that had not yet found out where it was, and he couldn't help but worry.
Of course, a Zerg Eighth Detachment has the ability to deal with it, even if it is an A-level combat type Zerg, but it will be very difficult to win. The combat power of an A-class female worm is definitely not as high as that of an A-level combat type zerg, but its terrifying thing lies in its reproductive ability.
If it is really as Xiao Yi said, there is an A-class female worm in the area of Anxing Province, then it is estimated that this female worm has already built a nest and given birth to a bunch of Zerg.
Shang thought about this and sighed. One Zerg can be easily dealt with by their eighth detachment, and two Zerg are no problem...... But a bunch of Zerg......
If they encounter it, in addition to running, it is the result of being eaten by the Zerg as a snack...... This is a sad truth.
Alas, it's useless to think so much, at this stage 2 first find the hiding place of the female worm, and then notify the superiors and Monica to see what they can do.
Of course, it was useless to inform his superiors of the former residence, anyway, he made a lot of reports, but he didn't see a single response. Fortunately, there is also Monica to help, she is the CEO of An Shing Province, and she has more resources at her disposal, so she should be able to figure out a way.
β¦β¦
A few days later, the Raven arrived at Area L in the patrol area. Area L is located on the northwestern border of An Shing Hong Province and is the most marginal part of the patrol area of Unit 8. Except for one side close to Anxing Province, the other three sides belong to the garbage star fields with little development value, and these star fields are relatively unstable and prone to sudden cosmic disasters, so the boundary divided by Anxing Province is here, and after passing the L area, they all belong to the undeveloped wilderness and no man's land in the universe.
If you want to say that the most annoying part of the patrol is also this area, other areas can also receive a little star network signal with the help of equipment, and it is absolutely impossible to have a little signal in this too remote place. The further you go to the periphery, you may not be able to guarantee even the most basic communications.
There are several such places in Anxing Province, and before the number of Zerg is discovered, a large number of disarmaments and insufficient distribution of supplies have made some front-line soldiers give up patrolling such a location, not only because such a place is too difficult, but also because they don't have enough fuel to maintain the spacecraft to patrol here.
But these places are also the easiest places for the Zerg to hide.
However, because of the increasing appearance rate of the Zerg, Monica, the CEO of Anxing Province, in order to ensure the safety of the residents in the territory, made a secret agreement with the front-line team of the Frontier Army, she helped the Frontier Army to get enough supplies, and the front-line detachment of the Frontier Army increased its patrols of high-risk locations to eliminate the Zerg as much as possible.
Within a few days of entering the L area, nothing happened. However, when Shang Si was on duty on this day, the ship's radar suddenly found something suspicious.
Shang Si directly ordered Xiao Yi, who was also on duty, to drive the mecha to investigate the situation. Fifteen minutes later, a message came from the screen asking for communication.
Shang Sitong guΓ² commanded, and Xiao Yi appeared on the screen. At this time, Xiao Yi changed his lazy appearance and said to Shang Si: "Found the gathering type zerg." β
Gathering Zerg, as the name suggests, is a Zerg that mainly collects as its function, this kind of Zerg generally does not have too high attack power, and its main purpose is to collect food for the mother worms and larvae in the hive. Of course, this attack power is not high compared to mecha and warships, if this kind of zerg enters the interior of the human planet, it will be the most lethal to defenseless civilians. Because its tentacles are so well developed, it covers a wide area, and it is so keen that it can be found wherever humans hide. And it absorbs humans at the highest rate among the zergs. Often, within a few minutes, an area becomes a no-man's land.
Of course, due to the miscellaneous recipes of the Zerg, the Gathering Zerg will also collect some minerals as food to bring back to the nest.
When the screen showed the image sent back by the Polaris, Shang Si's heart sank. It turned out to be the "big belly worm" in the gathering type of zerg. The scientific name of the big belly worm is Mojinihe, but because it has a huge belly, most people are used to call him the big belly worm. The large amount of potbelly insects is collected and transported, and the appearance of this insect tribe indicates that there is at least a medium-sized insect nest.
There are at least hundreds of adults in the medium-sized insect nest, but it is not the current ship of the eighth detachment, which can be dealt with by two mechas.
However, if you want to escape, you can always escape if you are careful. Now that the potbelly worm has been found, or only the potbelly worm that is returning to the nest after collecting it, then following it will have a chance to find the Zerg nest.
Shang thought about it, and ordered the Polaris mech outside to continue to follow the Zerg, and then drove the Raven to follow the Polaris in the distance.
After all, the mecha is relatively small, and the zerg is not easy to find, and the patrol ship is not large as a spaceship, but for the mecha, it is still inflexible and not easy to hide.
For the next few days, it was the Potbelly Worm flying in front, the mecha following the Potbelly Worm, and the Raven following the mecha. Tailgating the Zerg is a very laborious thing, and if you can't let the Zerg find out, you have to keep a certain distance, but keeping a distance is easy to follow, so it's very tiring. Fortunately, I got a mecha for Bird before, and Xiao Yi and him can be replaced, otherwise it would be good to rely on Xiao Yi alone, and he could resist for four or five days without sleep.
Of course, Shang Si also tried to contact the superiors of the border army and Monica, but Area L is worthy of being the boundary within the boundary, and with the interference of cosmic rays, there is no signal at all, so Shang Si can only give up reluctantly, and take a group of people from the eighth detachment to be lonely heroes and find the enemy's lair.
