The predetermined high ground is a huge rock block jutting out of the earth's surface. Unlike the low-lying areas, which are incredibly dense and hard due to lava erosion, the land on this highland is relatively soft, and some of them can even see traces of organic matter. There is a wonderful protrusion on this high ground, and above the high protrusion is a platform on which to install a hollowing tower, and even better, this high protrusion is even facing the nest of insects. The allosaurus sent from the front of the insect nest will be easily stopped, and even if the allosaurus sneaks around and attacks, it can be easily spotted by those standing on the high protrusion.

Such a good advantage must of course be used. Piris ordered the three SCVs to prioritize building an anti-aircraft tower on the high protrusion, and then building an anti-aircraft tower on the high ground - wait until the lava in the low-lying area has receded, and then dismantle it and take it away.

After Piris's order was given, the three SCVs rushed to the top of the high protrusion.

Of course, there is no room for relaxation when lava is coming. The mine mules loaded with massive minerals consciously stopped in the middle, allowing the combat-ready rangers to guard the highlands at the junction from the low-lying area to the highlands.

"Sir, there's something unusual here."

The voice of a mine mule driver suddenly came from the quiet communication channel, and Pyrris walked over briskly with a frown.

The land on the highlands has been exposed to the material that has been drifting from the lava for many years, and the overall color is similar to that of the low-lying areas, but the driver who jumped off the mine mule is pointing to a red piece of land.

Something that a mining mule specializing in mining can't recognize, how can a soldier in Piris know?

Wait a minute! It's really possible to know.

With trembling hands, Pyris withdrew from the rifle's sharp knife, and used this weapon, which was of little use in actual combat, to stir up the abrupt red dirt on the ground. If he remembered correctly, there were quite a few circles of red dirt along the way.

Under the tremendous force of the battle armor, the red clay was quickly lifted, and when it reached thirty centimeters, a pair of green eyes appeared in front of Piris.

Digging insects!

Piris's hair stood on end, and he jumped backwards in an instant. However, the insect beneath the land was clearly faster than him. The moment he was on his back, the huge green bug jumped out.

"Poof!! !!! "The sound that used to be heard only when shooting explosive insects suddenly melted into the ears of everyone present, seducing the greatest fear of their lives.

As if to signal this, a strange insect jumped out of every circle of red dirt circles on the ground. Or jumping insects, or stinging snakes, or bursting insects.

If jumping insects and stinging snakes make those present feel a little troublesome, then the bursting insects that come out can only bring fear.

The grenade fired by the Ranger shattered the jumping worm, killing the stinging snake, only to be splashed with acid by the dead blaster. Hiding in the crowd and exploding at one time can be said to maximize the lethality. Marauders and fire bats wearing heavy CMC armor may be able to resist a bit, while Marines in normal CMC combat armor are melted into a lump of slime.

"Commander!"

Zhao Yi rushed up as soon as Piris was blown up by the poisonous explosion insects, but lying on the ground was only half of the battle armor and the green slime on the battle armor.

Chief Piris, Zhao Yi hasn't known him for a long time, he met him from the day Masala evacuated.

He has always taken good care of himself - Zhao Yi knows that the combat career of the Marine Corps is very dangerous, and he may die in an unknown star field at any time. But death came too quickly and too suddenly.

Zhao Yi, who didn't believe in evil, directly reached out and wiped off the green slime that was sticking to the half of the battle armor and even burning and corroding. The moment the metal palm touches the green acid, a chemical reaction begins. The joints inside were corroded and destroyed at a rapid pace.

First of all, in order to increase the friction ability of the metal palm in the palm of the hand, the artificial leather on the finger turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared completely.

Then, there are the joints of the metal. No matter how much the fingers inside the combat armor arm pull the switch that controls the fingers of the combat armor, they can't pull the erection metal fingers.

The battle armor that had been ripped open revealed an ugly and disgusting mush inside. Because the rapid destruction of the joints could not be controlled, Zhao Yi, who was overexerting himself, ripped open Pirris's chest, revealing the corroded organs inside.

"Commander Piris is dead."

Fucalo's voice reached Zhao Yi's ears, and he didn't look back, but looked at the corpse on the ground.

He didn't even scream.

Soon, Zhao Yi, who realized something, looked back at the same time, and began to try to contact the Hyperion that was far away in the high-altitude orbit through the communicator installed in the battle armor and connected to the communication channel.

"Hubelian, I'm soldier Zhao Yi. We are under attack here, and we need immediate support. ”

The sneak attack was almost over, and the fallen cockroaches pounced on the ground in the form of fragments, and a few sporadic jumping insects gnawed at the Marines who were killed by the acid, and while the mouths were corroded by the acid, the Marines in the distance were directly shot on the sieve.

"Command Center! Here is soldier Zhao Yi, we were attacked, the squad commander was killed in the attack, and asked for backup. ”

Desperate and screaming, the Marines asked the Medic to kill him to relieve the pain, and the Medic was pushed away by another Marine, and he couldn't bear to pull the trigger on his companion.

"Support is needed here!"

"It's useless, the increase in seismic activity also interferes with the communication of electromagnetic waves. We can't get in touch with the command center for the time being. ”

Fcalo said.

The commander is dead, and the human forces that have lost their command will become a mess when they can't reach the command center. And this attack must have been planned, the main nest of insects not far away is impossible to evacuate because of the large reduction in the number of sneak attackers, and because the lava will soon cover the low-lying area, it is the most vulnerable time to clean up this human force. Either through the host's empty ground forces, or by sending Allosaurus to carry out air strikes.

In any case, there must be someone in command of this attacked army, and the command center must also be contacted.

"Boom !!"

Obviously the battle was over, and a huge explosion sounded again, and Zhao Yi, who was looking at the news, reflected the path leading from the high ground to the high protrusion from his eyes.

Their only air defense force, the SCV, which built defensive towers, was attacked.

Zhao Yi's face turned pale.
