Chapter 33: Crisis

Zhao Yi rushed onto the path in three or two steps, but he could only see three large lumps of scrap copper and rotten iron stained with green acid falling to the ground, and the parts scattered on the ground were more or less destroyed.

The three SCVs that built the anti-aircraft towers were killed by the poisonous explosions that suddenly emerged, and the parts that carried the anti-aircraft towers were irreparably damaged. If anything, there were only twenty or so rockets fired from missile towers.

The air defense force is completely wiped out, and it is impossible for the team to evacuate the high ground due to the increased seismic activity, how to fight and how to lose!

Host airdrops, alien airstrikes, both of which can easily wipe out the squad on the high ground - something has to be done.

Suddenly, there was a terrible tremor in the ground, as if the planet was about to explode, and a large amount of lava began to erupt from the cracks in the low-lying area.

Wait a minute! Shake!

Large doses of explosives are generated by huge vibrations of different waveforms of geological activity, and if the people on the other side of the command center are attentive enough, they will notice the anomalies on this side.

Obviously, now Zhao Yi has no choice, and in the case of electromagnetic interference, there is no better opportunity to practice the command center.

————————————————

The Marines, who had suffered heavy casualties, were no longer the spirit they had had at the beginning, and they leaned decadently on the mules that had become scrap metal and metal. And more, I can't see the spirit of cheering up to encourage each other.

The losses were too heavy, with two-thirds of the number of men, mostly marines, but of course, heavily armored raiders and fire bats.

The depressed will permeated between people, sensing the spread of this emotion that could kill everyone, and Fucalo looked back at the people around him in fear.

"Boom !!!"

A shocking explosion suddenly came from above, and with the transmission of the sound, the vibration of the ground also directly passed through the shock absorption system of everyone's battle armor, making their stomachs feel refreshed. It wasn't just the disgusting sensation of violent stomach thrashing, but the tiny fragments of insects on the ground throbbing with it.

And then, the terrifying shock wave generated by the explosion directly formed a terrifying wind, blowing towards the faces of every Ranger present. The shards of the insects that jumped up because of the shock wave were blown away by the shock wave, and the fierce wind was still blowing on everyone's air filter, creating a "whistling" sound that defied the limits of the ear.

Everyone focused their eyes on Gao Tu in horror.

A Marine with both hands and palms lost stood on the path, and behind him, a tall mushroom cloud, and behind the mushroom cloud, a tall and bright sun.

"I am your companion, Marine Zhao Yi. I'll take you alive! ”

At this time, this marine is like a god descending from heaven.

Under the mask, Fucalo showed a good-looking smile.

————————————————————————

Above the high orbit, in the command room of the Hyperion. Personnel in the command room are not allowed to pat their butts and sit on the ground to complete their tasks. They are to constantly monitor the movement of the insect nests on the ground, as well as the movements of the combatants on the ground. Especially now when seismic activity is increasing and electromagnetic interference is serious.

The insect nest that the optical detector was staring at did not move. And the various human forces gathered on the high ground did not see any movement. So these staff members are serious, but they are not nervous.

"So soon, Mr. Renault, most of the required crystal ore has been collected, and only a little bit is left."

Also high in orbit, Tosh inside a starship accepted the sorted report and said to Renault on the other end of the communication channel. Of course, he didn't do this to urge Renault to move faster. It's about connecting feelings.

After all, there's a lot of business to be discussed.

"That's right, but I don't have time for small talk, now is the most dangerous moment for the ground forces. I have to keep an eye on... We'll talk about it later. ”

"Of course, Mr. Reynolds."

Renault disconnected and continued to look at the star map.

To be honest, this kind of restlessness has occurred since more than ten minutes ago. It's like something bad is going to happen.

"Warning, an unknown source of vibration has been detected."

A small adjutant warning voice came into Renault's ears, and Renault, who was holding the star map with both hands, suddenly felt refreshed.

"You! Mark the unknown source of vibration reported by the adjutant on the star map! ”

Jim pointed to one of the men's noses, and the man quickly manipulated the screen, and soon, a map appeared on the star map. In one corner of the map, marked by a thick red dot, the same place where an unknown source of vibration was detected.

Renault, who had obtained the map, began to manipulate the map, first asking the star map to mark the main nest of insects detected in the high-altitude orbit on the map. Soon, the insects' nests were dotted with markings.

Something was wrong, the source of the vibration did not come from the insect nest, and the uneasiness in my heart did not come from the insect .

Renault continued to manipulate the star map with a tense face.

Soon, the veins needed for the mission were marked on the map, and the abundant veins, insect nests, and a huge red dot were intertwined on a small map, slightly beautiful.

I don't have time to appreciate this beauty.

Since it's not the veins that are in trouble, could it be the crystal processing plant on the surface that is in trouble?

Tap on the star map, and several more dots appear on the map.

Again, it's not.

Renault narrowed his eyes and looked at where the red dot was. This map looks a little rough because of the map taken at high altitude in orbit.

Wait a minute! It's a bit like evacuating the highlands to avoid being swallowed up by lava!

Renault, who was in a state of turmoil, directly clicked on the star map and displayed the location of the predetermined mining troops and the evacuation points of the combat troops on the map.

Renault breathed a sigh of relief as the blue dot of one of the troops coincided with the red dot of the source of the shock.

Why did a high ground that was supposed to be occupied by evasive lava forces send a vibration?

The first is the explosion from a huge explosive. It is impossible for the insects to cause such a huge explosion, even if they use the explosion insects that can pile up into a mountain.

For this Ranger to cause such a huge explosion, it is not easy to say that it is not easy, it is not too difficult to say that it is difficult. It is necessary to abandon all the air defense forces and detonate all the anti-aircraft missiles brought with it at once.

The need for this Ranger to detonate the air defense force has to attract the attention of the command center through vibration, and I am afraid that they have fallen into a very huge crisis.

"Let the ground forces send Viking fighters as well as transport planes! Go to the Rangers who support the source of the shock!! ”
