Chapter 41
After following the potbelly worm for several days, the mecha in front finally came with the news.
At this time, it was the Flame that was tracking the potbelly worm, and the whole team of the eighth detachment was very tired from tracking the potbelly worm for the past few days, and now it finally came to fruition, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
By this time, they had left the L area that were supposed to be patrolled and entered a desolate and unexplored no-man's land. Because there is no detailed star map in this place, you must be very careful once you drive in, otherwise who knows if you will fly into the black hole.
Fortunately, the entry is not very deep, and the situation in the star field is not so complicated. At this time, the news of finding the Zerg lair was very timely, otherwise if he didn't find it after flying deep for two days, Shang Si would have to make the decision to give up.
"The Flame reports back on what you've discovered." Shang Si ordered.
"Yes." Bird said as he sent the images of the Flame's detection back to the Raven.
"The potbelly worm landed on an asteroid and entered its interior. According to my observations, over a period of time, several lower Zerg flew in and out of this asteroid, and I guess that this asteroid is the lair of the Zerg. Report complete. ”
"Keep watching, watch for covert."
"Yes."
Shang Si looked at the image coming from the screen in front of him, thought for a moment, and summoned the personnel on the Raven through Guò communication.
Within minutes, everyone arrived, and Shang Si replayed the video recorded by the Blaze. After the play, Shang Si said: "The situation of the hive is different from what we imagined. ”
Xiao Yi nodded: "Judging from this video, the frequency of Zerg entering and leaving the nest seems to be too low, and the number of Zerg entering and leaving the nest is too small. ”
Yan Kou touched his chin: "If you have a medium-sized insect nest, there should be more than this number of Zerg coming and going, such a frequency of entry and exit, it seems to be ...... Small nests. ”
Shang Si also agreed with Yan Kou's inference, and he felt strange when he first saw this video, the frequency of medium-sized insect hive Zerg entering and leaving the nest was at least several times that of this Zerg. And the phenomenon of this nest is only suitable for small nests.
But just in case, you still need to watch for a while.
With this decision, Shang Si sailed the Raven into hiding not far from the asteroid. After all, if you are close to the Zerg nest, the probability of being found is much greater.
……
After a few days of observation and several discussions, Shang Si finally had an 80% certainty that this was a small hive. The news is half good and half bad. The number of Zerg in the small hive is small, and after observation in the past few days, it is estimated that there are only more than ten Zerg with combat effectiveness, and most of them are E-level Zergs, and there are only two or three D-level Zergs. The current Raven has been refitted for a year, plus Xiao Yi's Polaris and Bird's Flame, Bo, although it is risky, but it can also destroy this nest of bugs.
But the bad news is that if it's a small nest that evolved naturally, it's impossible to have a potbelly that only a medium-sized nest can hatch. So this nest of Zerg is likely to have diverged from a medium-sized hive.
A new mother worm is produced in a medium-sized nest, and after the mother worm grows, it will naturally differentiate, and the new female worm will leave the nest with several adults and one or more potbelly worms and arrive in a new place to form a new nest. This is most likely the case with the small hive inside the asteroid in front of you.
So they followed it for so long, and they still didn't find where the medium-sized hive that threatened Anxing Province and the A-class female worm were.
Fortunately, the place where the newborn female worm re-nested is not very far from the original nest, and the medium-sized nest may be in this desolate star field. It's just a pity that the energy on the Raven can't support such a long distance, and the search area is so large that it can't be handled by a small detachment of the border army. This can only be reported.
This matter is not mentioned for the time being, what is currently in front of the eighth detachment is whether to destroy the small insect nest in front of it.
Seriously, Shang Si wasn't entirely sure about this, and it was risky for Team 8 to take down this hive. And communication is not working, and if something happens, they don't even have reinforcements.
But there is a problem with not destroying this hive. These days, the number of adults in the hive is increasing, and if they are allowed to develop, it will not take long to become a medium-sized hive. The time it takes for the Raven to return to a place where there is a communication signal and then call for help to come over has no idea how far this small hive will expand.
Conference room.
Shang Si announced the two plans to all members of Team 8, after all, the decisions he made would affect the fate of these people. However, Shang Si also knew that the people of the eighth team would not let the hive develop because they were worried about accidents.
Sure enough, Arnold was the first to speak out in support: "Of course, we have to defeat that hive now, there will be no reinforcements without reinforcements, and we can't watch the Zerg grow and develop!" ”
"yes." Yan Kou said, "What are you afraid of, with the old man here, can't you destroy a small insect nest?" ”
Sune and Bird also nodded their support for the plan to take out the hive now.
Doremi's eyes lit up: "I support whatever the boss says." "Then in exchange for Yan Kou's brain crash.
Shang Si ......
Seriously, Shang Si is still very pleased with the reaction of these teammates, don't look at what they say lightly, in fact, everyone knows how dangerous it is to fight a battle without backup.
There are so many unexpected situations in the universe, who knows what accidents will happen. They followed the Zerg to this side, and they had already left Area L, which was supposed to be patrolling, because no one knew they were here because of the lack of communication. The universe is so big, once they encounter an accident here, it may not be discovered for years or even decades. Some of the missing spaceships were even discovered by accident after hundreds of years.
Shang Si had already agreed to attack the hive now, just like Xiao Yitong Guò who was near the hive, so the result of the meeting now was that everyone agreed to defeat the hive now.
Although this result was expected by Shang Si, he was still moved in his heart, and he had a group of team members who were willing to put the safety of people's lives first. Although no one will know what they are doing now and the risks they are taking, they are still willing to fight for the safety of the people and nip the danger in the bud.
"Okay, now that everyone agrees on the first option, let's get started." "Jacques Arno, Doremi, check on the Raven. ”
Arnold, Dolemi: "Command." ”
"Yan Kou debugging the ship's weapons."
"Command."
"The Flame is on standby, ready to strike."
"Command."
"Suna, you assist in piloting the spaceship."
"Command."
After informing Xiao Yi of his plan through the communication, Shang Si looked at the videos he had collected in the last few days, and once again meditated in his mind about his offensive plan, thinking about whether there was anything missing. At that moment, a small mechanical voice sounded.
"Di Di Di, Captain, Xiao Di can also help, what is Xiao Di going to do?"
Shang Si lowered his head and saw that the cleaning machine that had been modified by Dolemi was at his feet, and the red light that indicated the operation was flashing back and forth.
Shang Si patted its little head: "Xiaodi, just do a good job of logistics." ”
"Okay, Xiao Di takes the order, Di Di Di...... Xiao Di has to work hard! ”
Watching Xiaodi leave happily, Shang Si's heart also relaxed.
"Very cute little machine qì people ......"
Shang Si was startled by this voice for a moment, and then realized that he had not hung up the call with Xiao Yi yet.
Shang Si was a little embarrassed in his heart, although Xiao Yi had also seen him get along with Xiaodi, but at that time he didn't know that Xiao Yi was the respected marshal. Now I know, although this marshal is a little different from what he imagined, Shang Si is still embarrassed to make this move in front of him.
"What, young man, embarrassed?" I don't know how Xiao Yi saw Shang Si's paralyzed face from where he was embarrassed, "Don't be so strict, it's normal to have a hobby~ Take Lao Yan as an example, you see his rough appearance, in fact, there is no way to take small animals, when our team picked up a mini pig when cleaning the battlefield, Lao Yan was distressed to raise it like his son, where to take it. Later, because of an accident, the mini pig died, and Lao Yan cried a handful of snot and tears. You can't imagine that! ”
I can't really imagine that scene. Shang thought that Yan Kou's stubble face was crying like Sister Lin, and he felt chills all over his body.
"What to say, what to say?!" Yan Kou's loud shout came from the door, and when he was debugging the weapon, Yan Kou needed to discuss with Shang Si in some places, so he went and returned, but he didn't expect to hear Xiao Yi's voice. As soon as he guessed, he knew that this man would never say anything good about him. "Lao Xiao, you hacked me in front of your juniors again, didn't you? Hey, I said, if you don't get dark for a day, will I die? ”
"I'm just talking about the past, every sentence is true, why is it that I hacked you." Xiao Yi leaned lazily on the driver's seat. "I'm not wrong about your pig raising. When the pig died, you cry......"
Yan Kou was annoyed by Xiao Yi's words, "I won't tell you!" Just know how to pit me! Captain, let's go! ”
Through the screen, Xiao Yi saw Yan Kou leave angrily, and the team leader who always had a cold face saluted him before leaving.
Xiao Yi turned off the communication and leaned back in his chair.
He just deliberately said those words to Shang Si to help Shang Si relax his mind.
Although he looks experienced and calm, he is a young man who has just graduated, and he will still be nervous when he encounters major events.
Xiao Yi can take the initiative to take on the responsibility of command, and he can also be responsible for the lives of a team. But he wouldn't do that.
The captain of the team is Shang Si, although he is young and immature, he will learn from the experience of one incident after another and grow up slowly. He's not a fledgling and doesn't need him to keep him under his wings.
He will only check his plan and help him fill in the gaps, but he will not overstep his responsibilities and will not take the initiative to help him take on the responsibility of a captain.
He's a junior with a lot of potential, and he really wants to see him grow and see him grow into a good commander.
Xiao Yi smiled, stretched out in the driver's seat, and then became strict and serious with a lazy appearance.
Debugging the mech, preparing for battle, he will give it his all in any mission.
