Reynolds' rangers finally arrived. They were covered in the minced flesh of the alienated combatants, and soon they waited at the pumping station for helpers.

The Marines who had struggled to fight the alienated combatants in the pumping station looked terrible, their shiny armor pitted under the terrible acid of the explosive infected, and some even showed their exoskeletons inside.

A Marine in black battle armor with a white skull painted on his mask walked towards them. Zhao Yi was a little unsure if the person this Marine was wearing was Jim Renault.

Soon, Jim, who spoke, confirmed his conjecture.

"Well done, lad."

Jim came up and said praise.

A few hours away, a giant creature hid in the meteorite belt, using its tentacles to pull the crystalline meteorite into its mouth, chewing it up with its massive truck-like teeth, and swallowing it into its belly.

The edible crystal ore quickly replenishes the energy lost by Behemoth, to be honest, in the universe, Behemoth does not consume too much energy, but the experiment of the insect mother Kashtar in its belly will consume.

Dozens of humans captured in the human space station of the meteorite belt are naturally the best test subjects.

Forcibly implant the alien virus, and use psionic energy to induce mutations of the alienated virus. An infected space station with metal serves as an infected building, with a fungus blanket inside the infected space station to provide nutrition. This human is mutating at a rapid pace.

The heavy carapace can better resist the terrifying fire of humans, the strong vitality allows it to charge even when it is seriously injured, and the strong limbs can punch a marine.

This terrible weapon of war was conceived by Kashtar and quickly completed its mutation. As time flies, it completes its mutation.

Kashtar had memorized the genetic information of the aberrations, and for the time being, he couldn't think of a better way to improve it.

Kashtar, which had devoted the rest of its energy to other alienated combat bodies, quickly made improvements.

Strengthen the shooting instinct of infected Marines and the eyesight of both eyes, so that infected Marines can recover some absolute disadvantages in the process of shooting against human Marines.

Strengthens the leg musculature of explosive infected, allowing them to break through the human firepower network faster. It then increases the toughness of the peritoneum, allowing it to easily carry more acid.

Alienated warbodies strengthen mutant carapaces and mutant claws.

Several enhancements to the alienated combatants were concocted by Kashtar as messages that only the aliens could understand, and she soon informed the infected of Meinhoff of the improvement of the alienated combatants through psionic screams.

"The Hyperion has arrived, sir."

Dozens of light-years away, the Hyperion suddenly appeared high in Meinhoff's orbit, and with the opening of the communication channel, Matt Horner successfully informed Jim that the battleship had arrived.

"Nice to see you, Matt. How about Tassanis's side? ”

"We intercepted their train and found an old Federal-style mechanical lieutenant. Steitman couldn't open it after researching, but thought it was important, so we returned early. Horner said.

"Yes, Matt. It's just that we're in a bit of big trouble on our side. ”

Matt scanned the surface of Mayinhoff's planet a little, and the dense insect biological signals on the landmark made Matt know why the chief said that.

"Reinforcements arrived immediately."

"Matt, let them bring their hazmat suits, I don't want my boys to be one of them."

Matehorner sent nearly half of the Hubelion's ground troops, but such a small reinforcement could not even make a splash in the eyes of the alienated combat body like a vast ocean.

The battle on the ground is naturally in full swing, and the Hyperion in high-altitude orbit will naturally not wait. She circled around Meinhoff, and the various probes were firing at full power, collecting all the information on the ground.

"Sir, through the simple statistics of the Hyperion, there are 800 million alienated combat bodies on the ground, and there are countless civilians who can't tell whether they are infected or not, and there may even be more than 9 billion. And they're constantly using transport planes to escape the planet. ”

"They're going to spread the swarm virus to the entire human world!" The old and spicy Renault saw the key point at once.

Horner didn't speak.

Jim opens the conversation with Dr. Ariel Hansen.

"Dr. Hansen, I've found a lot of transport ships fleeing this planet, is there any progress in your research on the swarm virus?"

Two things that you don't want to do are said together, and if you think about it a little, you can understand what is in it.

"The swarm viruses mutate so quickly that they seem to be artificially controlled, and the virus samples collected vary from moment to moment."

Artificial control...

In just two or three days of fighting, the combat system of the alienated combat body continued to improve, and infected Meinhoff marines with rifles began to shoot at the rangers, and there were also distortions that could resist two siege tank shells without death.

In addition to Renault in his contemplation, Horner is also reminiscing.

"Sir, twenty minutes ago, the Hyperion intercepted the Worm Psionic Wave signal. The back and forth may have something to do with what Dr. Ariel Hansen mentioned. ”

"What?" Jim frowned, "Matt, where did they come from?" Where to go? ”

"Sir, they communicate with each other in the galaxy's meteorite belts and in Meinhoff."

It seems that there really is a worm manipulating the infection of this planet.

"Matt, try to do a lock, do a deep scan." Jim ordered. Although he didn't know if this would be useful, he was sure that he would not gain anything without doing anything: "Ariel, you have worked hard." After all, that's a myriad of lives. ”

The burden of the lives of hundreds of millions, if not tens of billions, rested on Ariel's fragile shoulders, and Dr. Hansen was strong.

"I will, Commander."

Dr. Hansen was just about to cut off the communication, and Jim hurriedly said, "Don't cut off the communication Dr. yet, I have good news for you."

Jim paused, "Your people are safely evacuated, you don't have to worry about the safety of the people of Agrea."

Ariel's eyes filled with tears for a moment.

"Thank you, Commander."

In the lab, Ariel placed her glasses next to a dog tag with Plante written on it, wiping away tears.
