Chapter 58
Shang Si stared at the display in front of him and lightly tapped his index finger on the table.
Thankfully, he was able to convert some of his faster light ships into transports at the outset, reducing the time it would have taken to transfer civilians from five hours to three hours. Now an hour has passed, and according to the situation on the battlefield, the remaining two hours of the fleet can still hold up.
But before Shang Si could breathe a sigh of relief, the situation on the battlefield here changed. The Zerg, who were attacking in a hurry, suddenly accelerated the pace of attack. A large number of Zerg rushed towards the fleet, passing through a network of fire from heavy ships and light ships. Shang Si could only send more mechs to fight.
Although the number of Zerg under Xiao Yi is large, there are also a few, and there are still some follow-up troops who are still slowly passing through the Guò Star Gate. Now this Cheng dù, Shang Si's troops can still support. It's just that the longer the time drags on, the worse it is for him.
Xiao Yi should also know this truth, but the strange thing is that he has now accelerated the speed of his attack. It seems that he does not plan to wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops, and wants to break through Shang Si's defense in one go.
Could it be that he knew about the replacement of the battleship?
But now that the Zerg is still in the defensive zone of the armored ship, and has not rushed to the position of the light ship, it is impossible to find out that he replaced the light ship with a transport ship.
So what is the reason for Xiao Yi to speed up the attack?
Shang Si pondered as he continued to send out mecha troops. Because there are more and more Zerg rushing through the line of fire, if the number of mecha is not increased, the mecha may be besieged by the Zerg at any time.
But as the last mecha unit was dispatched, Shang Si suddenly felt a wave of unease.
Soon, this unease turned into reality.
The Zerg army suspended in the dark universe suddenly and slowly separated from the middle. A large, spherical object appeared in front of the formation.
Shang Si's pupils shrank, and his fingers on the keyboard stiffened for a moment before he quickly typed in commands.
The mecha that was fighting with the Zerg in the battlefield quickly stopped fighting and quickly retreated to the ship.
It's too late......
Shang Si finished typing the last character and let go of his finger.
He knew that even without a moment's hesitation, he wouldn't have had time to take back all the mecha troops.
And, the consequences of the decision to take the mecha back......
……
Xiao Yi squinted his eyes as he watched the huge spherical object in his camp roll forward, seemingly slowly, but actually quickly. In less than a minute, he passed through the firepower network built by the Shangsi fleet and came to the front of the armored ship.
Shanth's fleet did not move, and, of course, he moved in vain. Cracks had begun on the surface of the spherical object, and blue arcs flashed through the cracks.
As the crack grew larger, the blue arc became more and more dazzling, and finally it was impossible to see the original appearance of the spherical object, only a dazzling bright light.
Ray storm.
This kind of ray, which can make human beings die instantly, is scattered wildly.
When the light disappears, the universe seems to be dark again. In Shang Si's fleet, the mechs that did not enter the battleship followed the inertia, slowly drifting between the battleships, and then were captured by the Zerg light yì on the side.
Mechs are inherently very fragile things, because they are small and cannot be equipped with large defensive equipment. Therefore, the ray storm just now cannot penetrate a normal battleship, but it is fatal to the pilot in the mech.
It's just that the mech pilot was killed by the ray,* but it's still there. This has become a food that the Zerg can easily obtain.
Since it is a game, the mecha only slowly disappears after being captured, and becomes a number of jù, and there will be no situation where the Zerg will drag the mecha pilot out and divide the corpse. But even so, Shang Si didn't want to watch this scene again.
Actually, Xiao Yi didn't expect this to be the result.
According to his prediction, when the spherical object appeared, Shangs should not let the mecha return to the plane, but should have all the mechs explode together when the spherical object blew up. In this way, even if it can't kill the Zerg, it won't leave the corpse for the Zerg as nourishment.
But Shang Si chose to sail back.
Xiao Yi frowned.
The return voyage not only allowed the mecha to kill and injure the Zerg less, but also left the Zerg with a bunch of evolution materials. No, the Zerg on his side have absorbed the flesh and body of humans, and their combat power has increased a lot.
As for the mechs that were rescued because of the return flight, there were less than a hundred!
The guy on the other side is obviously guilty of the same old mistake again!
It seems that if he doesn't come ruthlessly, this junior won't be able to remember the lesson.
Xiao Yi thought of this, and quietly mixed those Zerg whose numbers had risen sharply due to eating drivers into the ordinary Zerg and withdrew from the front line......
……
Shang Si here didn't know, because one of his actions angered Xiao Yi.
Although he also knew that letting the mecha force entangle the Zerg and self-detonate would cause greater damage to the enemy, and it would not "fund the enemy". But he couldn't let everyone die when he might save some people's lives.
Even if it's just an illusory game.
However, Shang Si could feel that the Zerg's attack was becoming more and more fierce.
Ninety percent of Shang Si's mecha troops have been wiped out, and although the remaining one percent can still fight, they are not numerically advantageous at all. Only a small part of the area can be controlled. Shang Si could only make the fleet resist the attack of the Zerg.
In the fleet, light ships can also carry out certain short-range attacks, relying on the firepower of light ships, the Zerg did not break through the fleet's defenses.
However, at this time, the problem of insufficient number of light ships was exposed.
In order to increase the speed of transport, Shangsi replaced the transport ships with half of the light ships in the fleet to carry out the task of transporting civilians. At that time, it seemed to be a good move, but now this good move has become a fatal hidden danger for Shangsi's fleet.
Now the mechs and light ships can barely cope with the Zerg in close quarters, but if the number of Zerg passing through the line of fire increases, the remaining mechs and the remaining light ships will not be able to resist it.
On Xiao Yi's side, with the arrival of the follow-up troops, the attacking Zerg will only increase, not decrease.
Shang Si pondered for a moment, and began to control the fleet to retreat slowly.
There are fortifications in this field to defend against Zerg attacks. Built on a dwarf planet not far from here.
However, although it is a fortification, it is not something like a planetary fortress. In order to maintain the balance between the warring parties, it is impossible for the game to give Shang Si such a big killer. So the role of that dwarf planet is better than nothing.
Shang Si's purpose is to delay time, so no matter how simple the things on that dwarf planet are, he can cooperate with the fleet to drag down the Zerg. He had planned to come here again in the last half hour, but he didn't expect to be forced to come here an hour before the complete evacuation of the civilians.
It's just that he didn't expect that the Zerg, who had been attacking frantically just now, didn't catch up immediately this time.
The location of the dwarf planet is the fastest way to reach the B gate. It's not that the other routes can't reach the B stargate, but once they make a detour, it's impossible to reach them within an hour.
Did Xiao Yi not catch up because he wanted to choose another route?
Shang Si guessed.
That would be even better, it would only take an hour for his spaceship to evacuate, and if Xiao Yizhen chose another route, he could easily win.
However, to Shang Si's disappointment, although more than ten minutes had passed, Xiao Yi's Zerg still appeared. And the things that made Shang Si wonder also had obvious answers.
The Zerg formation led by Xiao Yi was reduced by half. It's not that Xiao Yi has shrunk the formation, but the number of Zerg under his command is half less than when he was fighting just now. In its place, there was a huge Zerg.
said that it was huge, but it was actually relative to the surrounding zergs. If the average Zerg is only one-third the size of a light ship, then this Zerg is the size of half a heavy ship. Even if the mecha wants to go up and find the hidden weakness of this zerg, it is not so easy.
However, the larger the size, the less flexible the movement, and the more difficult it is to avoid the fire of the fleet. It's just that the carapace on the surface of this zerg is not so easy to break.
When Shang Si first saw this zerg, he felt a little chill in his heart. There is information on this kind of Zerg in the database, B-class Zerg.
It seems that the decision he just made really caused himself a big problem.
……
"B-rank Zerg," Su Ne muttered to himself, "But it shouldn't be, obviously in the setting of the game, corresponding to the level of the flagship in Shang Si's fleet, there can only be one B-rank Zerg in Xiao Yi's Zerg army." ”
"And ......"
"And that B-class zerg is the spherical object that released the ray storm." Bowen continued, "Are you wondering why another B-class Zerg has appeared?" ”
Sune nodded.
Bowen clasped his hands around his arms: "Speaking of which, this B-class zerg was sent out by the captain." ”
Su Ne didn't figure it out just now, but now after Bowen's click, he immediately figured out the reason. He looked at the shape of the battlefield and unconsciously began to bite his lower lip.
"Alas, our squad leader......" Yan Kou sighed and shook his head again.
Because Doremi was stung out of the courtyard by a long-winged bee, he couldn't disagree with Yan Kou for his leader, and the courtyard was a little quiet for a while.
Yan Kou waited for a long time and no one answered, and he couldn't hold back and continued: "Just now, the team leader didn't let the mecha explode itself, and as a result, he died...... It was eaten by the Zerg. The Zerg is a race that evolves by ingesting food, and humans are very good evolutionary nutrients for the Zerg. Absorbed...... 's Zerg is upgraded. ”
When Yan Kou said this, regardless of whether Xiao Yi could see it or not, he rolled his eyes widely: "Xiao Yi's old boy is yin enough, taking advantage of the damage to the captain's combat power, he secretly transferred those upgraded zergs back." Then let those zergs devour each other, and finally evolved a B-level zerg out. ”
"Alas......" Yan Kou glanced at the hologram and sighed again, "Just now, that B-class zerg almost wiped out the squad leader's mecha troops, and this time I don't know what demon moths will come out of." ”
"That'...... The captain is ...... there," Su Ne couldn't help asking, "Is it a loss?" ”
Yan Kou nodded, shook his head again, and said with some hesitation: "Also...... Not necessarily. ”
