As soon as Shang Si's words fell, the armor beetle, which was originally a combat-type zerg and had very underdeveloped tentacles on its abdomen for feeding, suddenly released a large number of tentacles from under the armor in its abdomen.

A large number of tentacles enveloped Xiao Yi and Bird's mecha in an instant, and there was no trace of them at all in the footage transmitted by the detector.

Fortunately, the communication can still be connected, and the screen shows images of Xiao Yi and Bird.

Shang Si: "Polaris, Blaze, report on your current situation. ”

Xiao Yi: "The Polaris is completely surrounded by Zerg tentacles and is cutting. ”

Bird: Same as above on the Flame. ”

Through the communication, he could see that Xiao Yi and Bird's fingers were rapidly entering commands into the mech, and he could imagine that the two mechs were struggling to cut the Zerg tentacles under their control. But from the picture of the Zerg's abdomen transmitted from the probe, Shang Si could not see the results of their efforts at all. Those tentacles were still very thick and wrapped around the mechs of the two.

"Try to speed up and get out of the tentacle-hand range."

Although Xiao Yi and Bird were only covered by tentacles at this stage and did not appear in any dangerous situation, Shang Si still ordered them to get out of these tentacles as much as possible.

According to the data, it is impossible for an aggressive Zerg to have so many tentacles, because the main duty of this Zerg is to fight, not to gather and integrate Zerg, and it needs a large number of tentacles to collect food. The tentacles of the Zerg are not tough, they have no defensive or offensive capabilities, and this organ only has the function of collecting food. That's why it's unusual for a combat-type armor beetle to have so many tentacles.

"What's going on! Mecha energy is dropping dramatically! ”

An exclamation interrupted Shang Si's thoughts, and he looked up to see Bird's somewhat panicked face on the screen.

"What's the situation?"

"Captain, I don't know what's going on, all of a sudden, the energy of the mecha has dropped a lot, and it's still declining rapidly!" Bird said anxiously.

If a mecha runs out of energy, it's no different from scrap metal.

"Check the ship's shield!" The moment he heard Bird's words, Shang Si subconsciously thought of something.

"It's a matter of shields." Xiao Yi, who was also experiencing a rapid decline in mecha energy, quickly affirmed Shang Si's idea.

Due to the purpose of the mecha, its shield is directly connected to the internal energy source in terms of design, and the energy consumed by the shield will be directly supplemented by the internal energy of the mecha.

Bird: "Report, the Flame's shield didn't hit. ”

The shield only consumes energy violently when defending against an attack.

"It's the Zerg's tentacles, and these tentacles can absorb energy."

Shang Si explained the reason, but Bird had never heard of the Zerg's tentacles having functions other than eating. But now is obviously not the time to think about this, with the current energy consumption rate of the mecha, it will be sucked out in less than two minutes.

And it is obviously unrealistic to close the protective shield and not let the Zerg touch and hand pass guò protective shield absorb energy. Once the shield is closed, those tentacles will burrow into the mecha cockpit, and both he and Xiao Yi will become the dessert of the Zerg.

But now that I am entangled by so many tentacles, I will not be able to break through for a while and a half, and I will still die two minutes later.

What to do?

Bird sat in the cockpit, his fingers still typing commands at a rapid pace, trying to break free from the tentacle encirclement, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the tentacle in front of him dwindling.

Bird estimated that the mecha on Xiao Yi's side was also in this state now, and he was helpless to see that his energy was consumed.

Now the only two mechs are trapped here, and the Raven, as a patrol ship, carries a large range of weapons to attack, and it is no problem to use the Raven's firepower to cut off the Zerg tentacles, but even he will be bombarded together.

Now it seems that he is in a desperate situation, he Bird is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die so aggrieved, especially if he has to be eaten by disgusting zergs.

Bird made a decision, if he couldn't escape when the energy bottomed out, he would blow himself up, so that he could still cause some damage to the Zerg, and his death would be worth something.

Just as Bird was thinking about everything after his death, the voice of his captain Shang Si came through the communication:

"Turn the shield to its strongest."

Bird was stunned for a moment when he heard this order, he was a little confused, what use could the shield be adjusted to the strongest except to allow the Zerg to absorb energy faster.

As if to see Bird's hesitation, the captain on the other side of the screen repeated the order. The icy voice calmed Bird's mind.

It doesn't matter what the captain thinks, anyway, there is no way to do it now, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be.

Bird gritted his teeth and directly transferred most of the mecha's remaining energy to the protective shield, adjusting the protective shield to the strongest level.

Then he saw that the energy inside the mecha was dropping faster, and it was about to drop below the warning line.

That's when he heard his captain give an order from across the screen.

"The light particle cannon is aimed at the belly of the Zerg, fire!"

There was a violent shaking, and Bird's eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.

……

Bird woke up again, and was greeted by pure white walls.

His mind went blank for a moment before Bird remembered what had happened before he fainted.

He didn't figure it out at the time, but now he reacted. Before he fell unconscious, he heard Shang Si say to launch the light particle cannon, and he wondered when the light particle cannon could be accurate enough to avoid the two small mechas, but now he knew that where his captain wanted to avoid them to fight the Zerg, it was simply to bombard them with the Zerg.

He's still alive, and he's lucky.

He didn't feel resentful because Shang Si bombarded him with the Zerg, anyway, if he didn't do it at the time, he would also be a death, and now he can be regarded as an escape.

It's just that his captain is taking a big risk by doing this, and if he dies like this, maybe the captain will go to court-martialed for this decision.

But what's going on now? Bird looked around, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Yi, who was also a mecha pilot, on the other bed.

Bird had just come to the Eighth Detachment, and he only knew that this person was when he hadn't been here before, and all the tasks that the Eighth Detachment needed mechs to perform were completed by him. For Bird, he is not the top in mecha piloting skills, but also extremely excellent, and of course he will want to meet Xiao Yi, who is a mecha pilot.

On the one hand, I want to see how capable this person with the same name as Marshal Xiao Yi is, and on the other hand, there is also a man's competitiveness. However, after a few games, he was convinced. Originally, he thought that it would be good for a person who was not in the military to have second- or third-rate mecha driving skills, but he didn't expect this person's level to be incredibly high. It seems that he is still too self-righteous and narrow-minded.

Bird saw Xiao Yi lying on another hospital bed not far away, and asked directly, "Brother Xiao, do you know what the situation is outside now?" ”

"I also just woke up not long ago." Xiao Yi replied helplessly, "But the shelling just now is not very powerful, and it is estimated that it will not hurt that bug." ”

Bird nodded, the protection of that Zerg was much stronger than the mecha of him and Xiao Yi, and if he and Xiao Yi were still alive after a shot, then it would be even more impossible for that Zerg to be fine.

Bird was thinking about the whereabouts of the Zerg when he saw Xiao Yi in the next bed actually pulled out the needle in his hand directly, and some of the threads connected to his body were also pulled.

"Brother Xiao, what are you doing here?" Bird was surprised.

"Go pilot the mech." Xiao Yi replied as a matter of course, "That Zerg is probably still outside, and there are still female worms in the hive, so we have to take advantage of the victory to pursue it." ”

Chase after victory?

That's not wrong. They only suffered a loss from the armor beetle now, and the overall situation is still quite dominant.

Bird was also worried about the still alive armor beetle, so he joined the team to pull out the needle and thread.

"What are you doing?"

A very soft, but chilling voice sounded behind the person who heard it.

Bird and Xiao Yi froze when they heard this.

Bowen had just been out for a while, but when he returned, he found that the two patients who were supposed to be lying on the hospital bed were all ready to escape.

Bowen looked at Xiao Yi, who had already pulled out all the treatment threads on his body, and then looked at Bird, who was still holding a needle in his hand, and smiled slightly.

"Want to know how we deal with disobedient patients?"

……

When Shang Si took Arnold to the infirmary, he found two mummies lying inside.

Arnold......

Arnold flew to the side of the bed and began to cry: "Brother Bird, Senior Xiao, don't you die!! ”

Shang Si ......

Obviously, the two of them didn't look so strict when they lifted the mecha, why were they bandaged like this now? Could it be an internal injury?

But it shouldn't be, he's already tried his best to control the power of the light particle cannon.

Seeing the two lying on the bed and unable to move, while Arnold was still crying and screaming, Shang Si felt very guilty. At that time, the situation was too critical, and if he wanted to save Bird and Xiao Yi, he could only take the risk of using this method.

Only by firing a light particle cannon into the belly of the Zerg at the risk of injuring Bird and Xiao Yi can the large number of tentacles of the Zerg be quickly cut off and let Bird and Xiao Yi get out of the Zerg.

It's just that the person was saved, but now it seems that the injury is not light, and the two people are actually bandaged so that only their eyeballs can move......

At this time, Bowen walked over with a smile.

"Captain." Bowen gave a military salute.

Shang Si returned the salute and asked, "How are their injuries?" "Is it so severe that you need to be immediately transferred to a large hospital for treatment?

Bowen smiled: "Minor injury, it will be treated in another ten minutes." ”

Shang Si was stunned, and even Arnold, who was crying on the hospital bed, was suddenly stuck.

"Brother Bowen, what did you say?" Arnold didn't believe what he had just heard.

"I said they'll be fine in ten minutes."

After Bowen finished speaking, he walked over, reached out and gently stroked Arnold's head, "Arnold, what were you doing just now?" ”

"I thought they were going to ......," Arnold said halfway through when he felt a chill.

"So...... So......" Arnold couldn't go on, he sensed the danger coming!

"So what?" Bowen's voice was softer.

Arnold's hairs stood on end.

"Brother Bowen, I was wrong! I shouldn't have been making a lot of noise in the infirmary! I don't dare anymore! ”

After Arnold finished speaking, he ran behind Shang Si and hid, revealing only one head and a pair of pitiful eyes.

"Ask for Forgiveness ......"

Bowen took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands.

"Don't take it as an example."
