Just as Bird was ready to face this mission, an order caught him off guard.

"What? Didn't you say you wanted the Flame to carry out this mission? Why do you want me to be on standby? Bird was surprised, "Is there something else going on?" ”

"Nothing else happened." It was supposed to be Shang Si who was talking to Bird, but now it was Sune who said, "The Flame is still going to carry out this mission, but the pilot has been changed. ”

Bird was even more confused.

Change the pilot of the Blaze? In the eighth detachment, in addition to him and Xiao Yi, is there a third mecha pilot?

It's impossible......

Bird thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of a candidate who could pilot the Flame, but looking at Sunne's appearance, it didn't seem like a joke, could there really be someone who had the ability to carry out this dangerous mission instead of him?

Who, exactly, is that?

The big red-haired man was so preoccupied with this question that he ignored the obvious.

Although Sune served as the vice-captain of the Eighth Detachment, he generally acted as an auxiliary pilot of the Raven, and the person who issued the order was usually the captain of the Eighth Detachment, Shang Si.

But today, it was Sune who informed Bird that he was on standby in the Raven.

……

Before Bird could guess the candidate, the other came to the communication access. Bird connected the communication, and then reflexively saluted:

"Captain."

Judging from the images on the screen, it is obvious that the person over there is using a wrist-type light brain.

"Is it possible to make a handover?"

Bird was wondering why his captain was talking to him with a wrist light brain, and when this sentence came, he directly grew his mouth in surprise.

"Handover? Captain, you ......"

Shang Si nodded.

Bird never thought that it would be Shang Si who came to replace him.

Bird: "Who's going to drive the Raven?" ”

Shang Si: "Sune." ”

Bird......

Sune could have piloted the Raven, but ......

"Captain, this mission is very dangerous, or I'm the one who has been piloting the Flame......

"It's my decision." Shang Si interrupted Bird's words with an expressionless face, "Don't delay time, execute the order quickly." ”

Bird wanted to say something, but Shang Si blocked all his words with an order. As a military man, he had to obey the orders of his superiors.

"Yes."

Eventually, Bird had to get out of the cockpit of the Blaze.

……

Two heavy Energy Stones would have some effect on the Blaze, but not much. After Shang Si left the Raven, he chose to fly directly into the hive.

According to the information sent back by Xiao Yi just now, this insect nest is not big, but it is deep enough, and because of the fluorescent ore, there is no need to turn on the searchlight.

But for now, we still have to see if there is any change in the situation on the female side.

Connected to communication, Xiao Yi on the screen looked very surprised: "Why are you?" ”

However, without waiting for Shang Si to answer, Xiao Yi seemed to understand in an instant.

He glanced at Shang Si deeply, and then directly began to talk about the current situation.

"The mother worm eats very quickly, and it is expected that the mother worm will finish eating in three minutes."

Three minutes is a short time. When he was on the Raven, Shang Si had already planned the location of various explosives based on the information sent back by Xiao Yi. While the plan has been designed to save as much time as possible, three minutes is still urgent.

Within three minutes, he and Xiao Yi needed to place 100 directional light particle bombs and two energy stones.

Hives generally only have one main passage, and this is the only one that is wide enough, of course, for the average Zerg. The female worm will also take this passage when leaving the hive, but the female worm's body is too large to pass through this passage at all with her own size, so the female worms will generally temporarily soften their carapace, and the mollusk will pass through the small space.

Shang Si and Xiao Yi need to bury the explosives in batches in the rock layers at a certain depth on both sides of the passage within these three minutes, and when the mother worm passes through guò, detonate all the explosives, hoping to damage the mother worm when the defense of the female worm's carapace is weakened.

This method requires sufficient power of explosives and accurate placement of explosives, otherwise not only can it not effectively kill the mother worm, but also cause the nest to fall apart, but help the mother worm to get out of the nest.

Xiao Yi came over quickly, and Shang Si had sent the location of the explosives to Xiao Yi before, so after receiving the explosives, Xiao Yi began to arrange them.

The two of them had tried to speed up as much as they could, but as the mother began to break away from the hive, they were planting explosives at the last location.

Vibrations from the squeezing of the mother worm have begun to be heard in the passage. Xiao Yi drove the mecha to drill holes, and Shang Si immediately put the remaining directional light particle bombs and energy stones in. Then the two of them flew the mech at full speed towards the outside of the hive, throwing away all the weights that could be thrown away as they went.

As soon as he flew out of the hive, the hive behind him began to explode. Shang Si only had time to open the protective shield of the mecha to the strongest before he lost consciousness.

……

Waking up again, Shanth finds him and the Flame floating in the universe.

He checked the current situation, and unfortunately, the Flame's power system was damaged, and seventy percent of the mech's functionality was also destroyed. Luckily, the Flame's life support system was still functional, and the debris from the explosion did not penetrate the Flame's cockpit.

From the outset, Shang Si ordered the Raven to move some distance away. The situation in the star field here is unstable, and although the explosion is not big, it may cause some problems, so it is best to avoid the Raven.

But now that the power system is damaged, Shang Si has no way to drive the mecha to the agreed place to meet, so he can only passively wait for rescue.

However, the first thing to find was not the Raven, but Xiao Yi's North Star.

The Polaris also looked miserable, but it was still able to fly, and the shield was able to open normally. It dragged Sance's Flame away from its place, flying towards a small meteorite not far away.

Shang Si debugged the communication, just now he had found that the long-distance communication was broken, but now the short-distance communication can be connected.

"How's the Polaris doing?" Shang Si asked.

"Forty percent of the body is damaged, and long-distance communication is unusable." Xiao Yi replied.

It seems that both of them are lucky. Shang thought about it. You must know that at such a close distance, if the fragments of the explosion penetrate the cockpit, the gods will not be able to save their lives.

But he still had some worries in his heart. If you can't contact the Raven, you don't know what happened to the mother. But it was useless to worry about it, the Flame could not be used, and the Polaris was not lightly injured, so it was naturally impossible to see the situation of the female worm in this situation.

The Raven isn't that far away, so I should be the first to check it out.

Shang Si pinched the bridge of his nose, and then wanted to see if there was anything else that could be repaired for the mecha damage.

Returning to the mecha's control platform, Shang Si found that his communication with Xiao Yi had not been turned off. He wanted to turn off the communication, but when he saw Xiao Yi looking at him coldly, he stopped consciously.

"How?" Shang Si asked.

He and Xiao Yi have not been together for a short time on the Raven, Xiao Yi's original status is very high, but he has never put on any shelf, and he has always regarded himself as a retiree.

However, Xiao Yi's cold face today made Shang Si feel a lot of pressure.

"You're not supposed to be on this mission."

Xiao Yi looked directly at Shang Si.

Shang Si was silent for a moment, and he could see the reproach in Xiao Yi's eyes. Under such a look, Shang thought about justifying, he wanted to say that this mission was too dangerous, and he didn't want to see his subordinates killed or injured. But before he could speak, Xiao Yi was the first to speak.

Xiao Yi: "You don't want to see your subordinates get hurt, do you?" ”

Shang Si: "Yes. ”

Hearing Shang Si's crisp and neat answer, Xiao Yi paused, and then asked in a cold tone, "Who are you?" ”

Shang Si: ?

What do you mean?

Without waiting for Shang to understand, Xiao Yi suddenly shouted and asked:

"Say! Who are you! ”

Shang Si replied reflexively:

"Sheng Yue Federation, Captain of the Eighth Detachment of the Border Army, Shang Si!"

"Do you know who you are?" Xiao Yi scolded angrily. "You think you should come on this mission?!"

It was the first time Shang Si was scolded so mercilessly, and the object of the scolding was Xiao Yi, who was always very kind to him on weekdays, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

Xiao Yi saw that Shang Si was still holding his neck, and he didn't admit his mistake, and suddenly became even more angry.

"Don't admit your mistake, right? You still think you're right, don't you? Do you know the duties of a captain? Do you know where you should be in the command room? What were you doing, huh? Leave behind a team of people who need you to be responsible and be a lone hero?! ”

Xiao Yi's stern voice kept coming, and Shang Si was speechless when he was asked these questions.

Seeing Shang Si slowly lower his head, his eyes hidden in the shadows, Xiao Yi's anger calmed down a little and slowed down his voice.

"Do you know it's wrong now?"

Shang Si didn't answer, his head lowered and nodded slowly. Xiao Yi was right, he only thought about not letting his team members take risks, but he didn't think about his own responsibilities.

Xiao Yi saw Shang Si lowering his head and admitting his mistake, but he was almost amused. Shang Si, who always has a tight face and pretends to be strict on weekdays, has such a cute side. However, this time it can't end like this.

Xiao Yi said a few more words, and then closed the communication.

Shang Si is a young commander with great potential, and he believes that the future development will not be too low, but he is too soft-hearted. It doesn't mean that being a commander is cold-blooded, but as long as there is a war, there will be no casualties. As a commander, he can only do his best to reduce the casualties of his troops.

This time is just a very dangerous mission, Shang Si would rather take this danger himself, so if a war breaks out in the future, then he, the commander, will he still have to take down all the soldiers on the front line?

Moreover, war is never so simple, and sometimes many, many people have to be sacrificed for a specific strategic goal. And among these people, even not only the military......

Xiao Yi sat quietly in the cockpit. In order to save energy for the mech, the main lights in the cockpit have been turned off.

In the small space, only the backlights of a few meters are emitting a cold light, shining on the man's face, bright and dark......
