Chapter 2 Dark clouds are gathering

The patrol walked the streets. In this world, roads of steel are very rare. The most on the road surface is the road pressed out by ordinary general rollers.

Masala is a dry planet, most of the inhabitants are desert areas with little water, and a gust of wind can muddy your face with loess and sand.

However, the reason why the Empire and the people are reluctant to give up on this planet is that there is still a little bit of minerals that will allow them to stay here.

Indeed, the Empire was able to obtain a large amount of tax revenue every year through its taxation and plundering of the planet.

Houses like steel cans sit in bits and pieces on both sides of the street, with closed doors. The seven soldiers of the patrol watched the houses slowly and vigilantly, in case a few rebels suddenly burst out of them.

Jim Reynolds has just rioted on this planet, but it's a dangerous time!

However, unlike the other nervous patrol members, Zhao Yi kept looking at the sky.

He noticed that the sky was now a little cloudy. It's like.... It's going to rain.

Masala will rain, Zhao Yi doesn't believe it at all. And according to the plot push, the current Jim Renaud will wait for the transport ship to pick him up at the backwater base after stealing the artifact. And at this time, the alien worm invaded the planet.

Could it be that there are so many insects invading this planet that they can obscure the sky and make a special effect of dark clouds?

Hardly.

Zhao Yi shuddered, and then continued to look at the sky.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

While almost all his attention was focused on the sky, Zhao Yi walked more and more crookedly, almost deviating from the entire patrol, Love walked to Zhao Yi's side a little angrily, and then patted him on the shoulder.

The metal's palm slapped against the metal's armor with a "bang!" With a sound, Zhao Yi jumped.

"Love, look." Zhao Yi pointed to the dark clouds in the sky: "Is it going to rain?" ”

"Fart! It's going to rain in Masala, I'm going to live stream the day stinging snakes! Although Love spoke so rudely, he followed his finger to the sky, and the others cast curious glances into the sky.

In a short moment, the dark cloud in the sky became extremely black and thick, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

Although everyone in the patrol had covered their masks so that Zhao Yi couldn't see their faces clearly, he was sure that everyone opened their mouths in surprise.

"Could that be a worm?"

No one made a sound, only the sound of the wind blowing the armor with the sand, and Zhao Yi said slowly.

He didn't mean it for nothing, in the timeline, the alien insects invaded the entire human world at this time, and the invasion of Masala was just a small episode of it.

"It should ...... No. ”

Love's voice trembled a little, and then he stepped aside, a cacophony coming from his pager.

The captain deliberately walked to a place where everyone could not hear him, and tried to communicate with the people at the base by radio. Soon, Love, who had gone away, walked back. It's just that his voice is more or less ugly.

"Let's go, the base says it's just a dark cloud...... "It's a soldier's nature to obey." Although the soldiers were somewhat unhappy, they continued on their tracks.

Zhao Yi shrugged his shoulders, and then hung at the back of the line while focusing on the sky.

Hung behind the medics.

The unusually dark clouds in the sky were like a stone pressing on people's hearts, and the closed gates and lifeless streets made the soldiers feel a little oppressive. is this kind of situation, Zhao Yi, who is hanging behind the team, has no one to care.

Zhao Yi, who was looking up at the sky with his neck and a little sore neck, stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the medical soldier in front of him, the medical soldier turned around, taller than a person, and the white shield thick enough to be comparable to tank armor flashed in front of his eyes, and the medical soldier's turning action allowed Zhao Yi to see her front clearly.

Of course, the front of the Medic can't match words like "bumpy", in fact, like ordinary Marines, the Medic wears CMC combat armor, which is different from the Marines but painted white for the entire sector, proving that she has a class.

The thick shield in hand can give some protection when healing soldiers in the field. The equipped healing gun is the main auxiliary weapon of the Medic.

Zhao Yi didn't know much about the medical soldier in front of him, the only thing he knew was that she was a woman, and she had a good voice.

"Remember to heal me when you encounter enemies, and I will protect you."

Zhao Yi said to the medical soldier in front of him seriously, and the medical soldier hesitated slightly, and then replied.

"Okay."

The pleasant sound like a silver bell, Zhao Yi's restlessness caused by the invasion of insects was also washed away.

"Wait! Look, everyone! ”

Alexei pointed to the other side of the sky, and in the white sky, a black meteoric falling object slammed into the ground, and in just a few breaths, it fell to the ground.

Looking up, the dark cloud in the sky no longer took on the shape of a clump, but became a dotted star.

It was never a dark cloud, it was a large lump of strange insects that were rich into a cloud. And in the next second, these insects will fall from the sky and tear apart the defenseless people on the earth.

"Report to Command, Patrol Team C found an object on the road that appears to be an airdrop bag falling to the ground, request only."

The situation became very delicate, and Love did not bother to avoid his men, and spoke directly to the command center through the intercom.

The feedback from the command center was a bit slow, and several airdrop bags landed on the ground.

Love put down the mask of his battle armor and spat hard at the ground: "Damn, those bastards in Command won't let us withdraw - they're asking us to check what's going on there." ”

Looking at the dark clouds in the sky - there was no doubt that once these insects entrenched high in the orbit rushed down, the number of people in this patrol multiplied by a thousand would not be enough for them to stuff their teeth. So the soldiers of the patrol set their sights on Captain Love. And Love's eyes also changed.

But in the next second, Love made up his mind.

"The duty of a soldier is to obey orders, and we will do what the command commands!"

Zhao Yi came up with the idea of running away - funny, knowing that the insect was going to destroy this planet, why did he die and not return to the base? You know, if insects sweep the planet, the safest place will definitely not be an uninhabited town or a deserted suburb. It's a well-defended base.

But the captain has already made up his mind to check the place where the airdrop bag fell, if Zhao Yi chooses to disobey the order to return to the base, then will Love treat him as a deserter and shoot him?

Zhao Yi could only bite the bullet and follow the back of the team.
