In the cafeteria at the ground base supply station, Commander Doug had finished his meal and was cleaning up his plate for the recovery area.

I don't know why, Doug always felt that today's meal didn't seem to be as she wanted.

Because, she found that when she went to the buffet area again, she couldn't find the kind of fragrant roast animal thighs that little Anne had eaten?

So, it made her very unhappy!

You know, she Doug is the commander-in-chief of this ground base, although she is not currently the one with the highest military rank, but she is also the highest position on the ground......

And now? She herself just wanted to find that kind of food and eat a rarity, but the waiters in those dining areas, they even dared to say that there was none?

Those bastards of theirs, they must want to be treated differently, right? Look at the little girl and look cute to please it?

She Doug saw with her own eyes the kind of good things that little Anne had eaten in front of her, and they dared to open their eyes and talk nonsense?

Those bastards!!

Although Doug didn't say much about it at the time, and didn't make any statement, she had already secretly remembered this in her heart, and there was always a time when she put on little shoes for those bastards!

Who dared them to make it so difficult for the leader? Do you want to get mixed up with the humans on the Hope?

Didn't they know that she Doug was not only the commander here at the ground base, but also the current number two person on the Hope?

It's just that I want to eat something to relieve my fatigue, but I can still be troubled?

How could this be true......

Secretly sulking, after placing his utensils in the recovery area, Commander Doug was about to end today's not perfect meal, when he turned around and saw two armored vehicles parked in the isolation area air valve inside the supply station.

"Lieutenant Galen? And Lieutenant Darius? You are ......."

After the poisonous vapor inside was quickly extracted and filled with air, soon, among the two closed armored vehicles used in the base, twenty members of the two elite marines with black faces came out, as if the whole world owed them hundreds of millions of dollars.

Doug, who was in an unhappy mood, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity after seeing these elite marines who seemed to be in the same depressed mood.

"Huh?! Hello, Commander Doug! ”

As soon as he walked into the door of the restaurant, he met Commander Doug who was coming towards him, Galen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted.

"Sir!"

"Sir!!"

When the others saw Doug, they also stood still and gave a military salute.

"Okay, this is just a cafeteria, so there's no need to be polite!"

Doug waved his hand in time, causing those behind him to stop what they were doing, and then looked curiously at Galen and Darius again with an inquiring gaze.

"I look at your faces one by one, it doesn't seem to be very good? Is something wrong? ”

If it were someone else, maybe Doug wouldn't have wasted his time asking questions like this.

But the group of people in front of her are the two most elite squads and the two front-line commanders who are most valued by her on the human side of the Hope, so when she sees these people like this, she has to ask no matter what.

"What else could it be? It's all from the copy of the melee training simulation map that little Annie gave us, forget it, sir, don't mention it......"

Before the general could speak, Darius sighed heavily.

He didn't want to talk about it, after all, it was full of blood and tears......

Then Darius turned and walked into the cafeteria, and if they didn't hurry up, they would have to wait until late night for supper, or the hot meal to-morrow morning.

"That's right! It's all the fault of that melee training! ”

Galen said approvingly, and when he arrived, he quickly ran after Commander Doug with an apologetic wry smile.

There really is nothing to say about this!

Their group of marines, who claim to be the most elite of the Hope, were beaten by a group of NPCs in the special melee training map made by Little Annie.

“……”

Melee training?

It's just a training session, what's the problem? Why is it still mysterious?

Doug frowned, looking at these tight-lipped and secretive Marines, completely unaware of what the hell they were up to.

She made up her mind: when she was okay at night, she would go to the simulated map where they had conducted special training!

————

At this time, on the other side of the ground base, on the hemisphere side, the Marines who had infiltrated the rift in the Grand Canyon to reconnoiter the situation had returned to their previous starting point without any problems, and successfully called the armored transport ship that was still hovering in the sky, and picked them all up.

"Captain, I really didn't expect that our operation would go so smoothly this time?!"

After sitting in his seat and watching the armored transport ship take off successfully, a team member with 037 on his chest finally couldn't help but speak in the channel.

Now, they are in the cabin of the armored transport ship intact, presumably, they should be very safe, right?

So, he couldn't help but start to relax a little.

Not long ago, when he saw the huge insect nest and the horrible insect swarm in that gap, he even thought that they were all dead!

You know, at that time, when he saw that kind of scene, his two thighs in the armor couldn't help but tremble, and he almost lost his pants!

"Isn't it going well? Do you still want to fight those bugs? ”

Captain 031 sat down in a seat in the cabin and placed his rifle before glaring at 037 across from him.

In the interstellar era, this kind of operation to sneak behind enemy lines for reconnaissance or perform some kind of special mission, once discovered by the enemy, it is definitely a dead end!

There will definitely be no movie, TV series or the kind in it, after being discovered by the enemy, you can still kill all sides and escape smoothly!

They're just regular Marines, not Ghost Agents, with expensive power armor capable of stealth and anti-detection!

In Captain 031's opinion, this time, maybe the bugs are too careless? Or is it because they have been at peace for too long, and they have long lost their basic vigilance on a planet with no natural predators?

Or is it actually that the actions of these people this time are really hidden enough to not be discovered by the bugs?

But no matter what, these people have not only completed the reconnaissance mission assigned by the base, but also placed the important thing that the commander ordered them to put in!

That's enough! As for the rest, don't worry too much.

"Captain, is your operation going well this time? What's in that canyon? ”

At this time, the captain of the armored transport ship No. 2 interjected curiously.

This time, he was ordered to transport this group of marines to carry out this reconnaissance mission far away from the base, which was originally a big risk.

In order to avoid the kind of dragon-like bugs that may appear, before, he deliberately drove the spaceship to hover high in the sky, and he didn't dare to get too close to the ground.

Then, he waited on it for almost four hours!

Now, after finally enduring this time of loneliness and fear alone, of course he has to ask Captain 031, anyway, this is not a violation of discipline!

He was still quite curious about the following situation, but since these people were able to turn back safe and sound, there must be no special circumstances, right?

"You won't want to know......"

Captain 031 didn't want to say anything about it, but after exhaling heavily, he opened the mask of his armor and leaned back against the bulkhead of the metal seat.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, I think, you'd better drive a little faster, and better, pull the ship up a little bit now?"

After closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, Captain 031 burst into laughter, and after suddenly remembering something, he smiled and said to the captain of the transport spaceship in the communication.

"Fly a little faster, fly a little higher? Why is that? ”

The captain felt that now that the mission had been completed anyway, and the twenty marines had already reconnoitred the situation in the chasm of the Grand Canyon below, why not fly back slowly? In such a hurry?

"Because...... We've just planted a large-yield fusion explosive device underneath! And, it's going to blow up soon......"

032, who had been silent since he came before, said such a sentence on the channel coldly at this time.

"Poly, fusion explosive device...... Or a large equivalent? Ouch! Oh my god, why didn't you say it earlier! ”

After being stunned for a few seconds, the captain of the spaceship finally came to his senses.

Then, he was frightened and quickly pulled a few buttons on the console, directly pushing the output of the two Titan thrusters at the back of the armored transport ship to the highest.

Immediately afterward, after the engine at the tail of the ship spewed out two huge blue particle stream tail flames, the captain pulled the joystick fiercely, causing the bow of his armored transport ship to drive the maximum acceleration in a direction that was almost at a 45-degree angle to the horizon, and after breaking the sound barrier, it rushed straight into the sky.

After the spacecraft soared into the sky, the spacecraft that crossed the sound barrier caused the pressure around the position it was just located to drop sharply, and the instantaneous low temperature caused by the steep pressure caused by the sharp drop in pressure caused the strong acid vapor in the atmosphere of the JNO.3 planet to quickly condense into a tiny liquid, which looked like the spacecraft had pulled down a large lump of yellow ......

"Damn it! You guys, can't you say it sooner?! ”

The captain gripped the lever as he began to curse.

He only now remembered it, no wonder, before that, when he came, he always felt that the big square thing that the 032 Marine was carrying was a bit of an eyesore?

He'd never seen a Marine go to war with so many supplies on their backs!

And now, everything can finally be said clearly!

It turned out that his spacecraft was carrying a large-yield fusion nuclear device and flew such a long distance to carry out a reconnaissance mission?!

Damn it!

He's a transport ship, not a warship, and it's not a warplane!

Those bastard high-level officials didn't even tell the truth, and let him casually carry such a dangerous thing on a mission?

"Isn't it just a nuclear device? And it exploded underground, we're high in the air now, we should be fine, right? ”

037 looked at the captain's reaction, a little inexplicable.

"You know!"

The captain didn't have time to explain too much, so he quickly grabbed the ship's joystick, trying to get away from the island below and increase the distance at the same time.

It didn't take long for the transport ship with two huge blue tail flames to fly a long distance, and in the distance below it, the huge island suddenly emitted a strong vibration.

Thundered......

A dull and heavy explosion followed.

Then, a shockwave swept towards the ship high in the air, causing the transport ship, which was still moving at high speed, to start to jolt.

"Damn UPL, ah......"

When the captain looked at the island ground behind the side of the ship from the window on the side of the ship, he saw that the large piece of ground had slowly turned into a large dark red color, which was very conspicuous in this dark night.

It seems, there is a powerful energy that erupts and melts a large amount of rock under the earth's crust?

He knew that it must have been detonated by a fusion explosive device, and now, under the crust of that big island, it had been destroyed in an instant, and there would be no chance of survival whether it was bugs or others!

“……”

"It's spectacular......"

The other Marines were silent or marveled at looking out of the ship's window to the ground.

Where, under the cracked ground, red light burst out from under the ground, and then, the red area gradually spread, and the red light that escaped from it, like a huge spider web, soon covered the entire large island......

"May God forgive us ......"

Fortunately, their operation this time was relatively smooth, and all the people had safely left the dangerous blast area.

Although at the beginning, everyone else was hidden by the captain and 032, and they didn't know that this reconnaissance operation would bring this crazy and dangerous thing.

But, anyway, now that everything has finally ended perfectly, that's enough.

……

Burst!!!

Then, after the armored transport spacecraft lowered its altitude and flew for more than ten minutes, it suddenly shook, and it seemed that something had smashed into the outer bulkhead of the spacecraft?

Or, this spaceship of theirs, hit something?!

"Not good! We were ambushed! It's that dragon-like bug! There are a lot! It's over! Everyone, prepare for a crash landing!! ”

Contrary to the doubts of the Marines, the captain of the armored transport ship immediately shouted in horror after looking at the flickering siren lights on the instruments.

Because, now he finally saw from the satellite picture: I don't know when, when they passed by here, on the ground, suddenly a large group of flying dragons flew up from nowhere, and began to carry out a fierce poison sac attack on his spaceship.

Burst...... Burst......

In this short moment, countless poison sacs accurately hit the outer bulkhead of their spaceship, and after smashing on those armors, there was a sound like a water balloon bursting.

Despite the best efforts of the captain of the 002 armoured transport, with his superb skills to avoid a significant portion of the poison sacs, most of the attacks were still accurate, hitting accurately and exploding outside the ship.

There was even a pair of highly corrosive poison sacs that began to corrode his ship's bow......

"Are there any weapons on the ship? We need to fight back now and disperse them as quickly as possible!! ”

Captain 031 also saw the terrifying flying insects screaming outside from the Xuan window.

It looks densely packed, it seems to be as many as hundreds? They're constantly circling their armored transport ship, and they're constantly throwing at them that highly corrosive poison sac.

"No, it's useless...... Our engines have been destroyed...... We're about to fall......"

The captain shuddered and closed his eyes in despair.

Because, he found that he had now completely lost control of the ship, and on his console, in those holographic interfaces and meters, red alarm messages were flashing everywhere.

And the most terrible thing is that in the damaged picture of the spaceship, in addition to the red alarm on the fuselage, which shows that the fuselage is being corroded by the strong acid of insects, the two most important Titan engines for the spacecraft are also in a state of disconnection......

————

Area C of the ground base, here, after more than two days of leveling, the hard-working SCV engineers have almost cleaned the battlefield of the swarm of insects that fought a few days ago.

Now, not only have they built a small interstellar air port here, and have begun to test the production of transport ships and Wraith fighters, but on the other side, they have leveled a large area, and after laying a large metal floor and building some fully enclosed hangars, this place has quickly turned from an open space into an important airfield facility for the ground base.

And our ghost agent, Colonel Anne, after she had eaten and drunk enough, she was idle and had nothing to do, and she once again stumbled here.

Now, the tank that she occupied before has been played by her almost completely, and she is starting to get a little tired!

Therefore, she once again set her eyes on the new toys of the ground base, these Wraith fighters that had just been deployed to the ground base.

"Chief, sir...... We really don't have any other spare planes here, so I beg you, can you stop messing with us?! ”

Little Anne, dressed in red-and-white tight-fitting ghost armor, was wandering around the huge hangar of the base's air brigade, and she seemed to be ...... Ready to find yourself a more pleasing looking Wraith fighter?

And the reason why she is not in a hurry to start now is because she didn't see something pleasing to the eye?

Behind her was an ensign officer of the ground staff of the Aviation Brigade, who was pleading with little Anne in a low voice.

He knows the ability and record of this little ghost, as well as the other party's record of causing trouble on weekdays!

At the same time, he also knew that this little girl had the feat of robbing a heavy siege tank not long ago! At the time, he and his colleagues talked about it.

However, what he never expected was: It's only been a few days, and this little ancestor who can't be provoked, she actually has her eyes on their aviation brigade again?

Looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that they still want to repeat their old tricks and forcibly take away a resentful fighter plane?

"Oh, what are you in a hurry? It's annoying! I'll just take a look, it's really just a casual look, don't follow me! ”

Little Anne waved impatiently at the heel who had been following her since she came here.

(That's right!) We really just come to shop casually, don't worry too much, if you see something pleasing to the eye, we will take it casually, and we will definitely not be polite to you! - Tibbs, the bear who was pinned to the waist of his master Anne, has already figured out his thoughts about his own hostess.

She said casually, that is, she can be casual with others!

As long as you see something pleasing to the eye, no matter what method you use, whether it is stealing, robbing, or threatening to give it away, anyway, in the end, she will always get it away! ）

Please shut up, Tibbs......

"Wow......!"

After bypassing a whole row of neatly parked standard Wraith fighters, little Anne suddenly took a fancy to a Wraith fighter numbered 01, which was parked alone in a separate hangar with a small size.

The reason why little Annie stared at it at a glance was because the other party's size and weapons seemed to be much larger than those rows of Wraith fighters?

After discovering it, Anne's eyes lit up, and she quickly jumped directly into its open cabin.

"Sir?!"

After seeing the other party's movements, the second lieutenant ground officer who was following behind was so frightened that he almost didn't cry.

He thinks that this little girl must have taken a fancy to this plane, right?

"Oh, don't bother me! I'll just play around and I'll be there later! ”

Seeing that the second lieutenant under the fighter plane was looking up anxiously, little Anne was very impatient and drove away again.

(That's right!) We'll play for a while, and when we've had enough, we'll just drive it away! —Timbers once again mocked his little master mercilessly. ）

“……”

After looking at the bear on her waist with a cute little brow, Anne felt that she was in a good mood now, so don't worry about it for now!

"Hey! What are you doing?! ”

Anne, who had just closed the glass hatch of the fighter, had to open it again and reprimanded the second lieutenant on the ground.

Now, he's in his way!

Moreover, he also locked the wheels of this fighter on the ground with a locking machine, what does it mean? Are you afraid that you will drive this fighter away?!

How unreasonable! How dare you doubt the great Colonel Anne?! It's the other way around!

Later, we must find a reason to lock him up in a small black house for three days!

"Ensign! Now I've decided: this plane, from now on, it's mine! I command you, let go of that wheel at once! ”

Then, while the ground officer was whispering a plea, little Anne quickly changed her face and announced another of her decisions with official authority.

This plane, since it is obviously larger than other fighters, then, she has recognized this one! Didn't say it, no matter what, she must occupy it and drive it away!

"Chief, sir...... This plane, it is a special aircraft of the captain of the brigade, and it has to take on the important responsibility of commanding all the fighters in combat, so you must not drive it away......"

This second lieutenant ground service officer was about to cry, and now when he met such a little ancestor, he couldn't beat or scold, and when his rank was not as high as that of the other party, he could only wail in this pleading tone.

"Otherwise, except for this captain's plane, the rest is up to you? I'll take matters into my own hands and give you a Wraith Fighter, what do you think? ”

Seeing that he couldn't stand this bad, this officer was also a bachelor, and directly put forward his own suggestions.

Try to coax this difficult little ancestor away first, and then make a report and give Commander Doug of the base a headache!

"I don't want it! I just love this one! ”

How could little Anne casually let him fool around with a few words? Inexistent!

She has now decided: she wants this good-looking plane, and it is useless to persuade anyone!

"But, but this is the captain's landline...... If you drive away, then what are we going to use to command the air battle? ”

The ground ensign officer was already thinking about whether to stabilize the other party first, and then quickly contact Commander Doug at the base? Let her take care of this difficult little girl?

"Well, I used to have a tank! But now that I'm tired of playing, I'll exchange it with you! It's right next to the barracks, and you can have people drive it away! ”

After saying that, Little Anne didn't care what the ground officer thought, and after jumping down twice to unlock the lock, she jumped into the cockpit of the Wraith fighter and began to familiarize herself with the various devices and instruments that were a little different from those in the game.

"Tan, tank?"

The ground ensign officer was instantly disorganized......

This little girl, what did she just say? Trade a heavy siege tank for a Wraith Fighter?

She can figure it out!

They are an air force group, so what's the use of a heavy tank?

Is it possible that the captain of their air force should fly a ground tank to direct fighters in air combat?

"Ensign! What are you frozen? Why don't you get out of the way of me? ”

It's not a good thing to look at!

After closing the hatch of the plane, little Anne angrily scolded the officer who was still standing under the plane.

If she doesn't get out of the way, later, when she starts the engine and lets the fighter plane take off vertically, the kind of high-temperature particle stream that is sprayed will definitely burn him!
