Chapter 0222: The Great War Ends
Thundered......
Planck's terrible warning had just fallen on the combat channel, and before his ship had reached much height when he pulled up the joystick and had not yet reached a height, there was a dull explosion in the inclined cavern that he had thrown into the extra-large incendiary bomb, and the ground near the entire ground base seemed to begin to shake slightly.
Then, terrifying flames hundreds of meters high erupted directly from the hole of the huge inclined crypt, and they even directly reflected the dark night sky of the planet......
Fortunately, the huge incendiary canister, with its tremendous kinetic energy, had rolled to a deep enough depth below the ground; Fortunately, it was only an extra-large solid-liquid mixed incendiary bomb for incendiary purposes, not a blasting bomb with explosion priority.
Therefore, when it explodes deep enough underground, it will not have much impact on the steel buildings of the base, except for causing the surface of the ground base to shake slightly like an earthquake and erupt into bursts of shock waves and seismic waves.
Flames, countless terrifying flames, except for most of the roaring underground, invisible to humans, burned wildly in that underground cavern that didn't know how deep and long, swept countless insects, and from them came the screams and screams of insects as they were scorched by the flames.
In addition, a considerable part of the flames and fuel erupted directly from the collapse exit of the crypt that served as a vent, like a huge volcanic eruption, and the violently burning fuel, like magma, erupted diagonally into the sky, and then covered the entire Area C battlefield and flew down.
Because this JNO.3 planet itself has oxygen, and the extra-large incendiary bomb is made of a mixture of special fuel and accelerant, it can burn in an oxygen-free environment, so at this moment, after it explodes and burns, it has a terrifying power, plus the oxygen in the atmospheric environment of this planet, it burns very hot!
"Wow, what a big firework......"
Little Annie, who was putting away the tank stand and preparing to switch to push mode, was a little surprised when she saw the explosion and burning scene in the onboard screen.
This level of flame, although the temperature is not too high, the power is not too great, it is much worse than her magic flame. But, after all, it's something produced by humans using technology, and as long as the output can keep up, it's how much it will cost, and it's much cheaper than her struggling to throw magic or something like that!
If Anne were to use her own magic, she would have to use at least half of her own magic if she had to burn up the tens of thousands of insects in that cave, right?
"Watch out, everyone! The flames are about to fall, so be careful to avoid them! ”
As the rest of the Marines stood up, looking up at the fireworks in the sky, or staring in amazement at the hole in the distance, which was still spewing flames, a scream suddenly roared through the channel.
It was only then that they were shocked to discover that the things that erupted into the air in the flames of the fire were not only burning rock fragments or insect corpses, but also a considerable part of the large and small solid-liquid mixed incendiary agent?
Therefore, of course, after they flew high in the air and exhausted their kinetic energy, those clusters of flames, together with those viscous and burning terrible fuel, fell down one after another, like a huge rain of fire, instantly covering the battlefield in front of the cave entrance, in the fan-shaped direction of hundreds of meters or so......
"Huh?!"
"Ahh Help me! ”
"Damn, my armor is on fire too!!"
"Nope! My armor is going to be overloaded, who's going to help me!! ”
At this time, some of the marines who had no time to dodge in the direction of the cavern mouth were contaminated with their armor by the scattered sticky fuel that sprayed and fell, and then they began to scream incessantly.
Although, the Marine Corps' standard armored power combat suits they wore had a certain amount of heat protection, and they had not been harmed by the armor for the time being.
However, they still ran screaming and screaming, or fell to the ground and rolled over, and for a moment, the scattered flames caused the entire Marine defense line to become confused.
There are also some nimble brains, so they directly took a body of flames, turned around and ran quickly in the direction of the base, as if they wanted the fire extinguishing device in the base to help them?
And those who screamed and ran around or rolled on the spot did not end well, no matter how hard they tried, those flames could not be extinguished, but quickly let those sticky terrifying incendiary agents spread all over their bodies, and instantly turned into a huge burning man......
Their companions, on the other hand, followed them helplessly, as if they wanted to come forward to help, but they did not know what to do.
And those who dared to raise their courage and tried to step forward and pull it were quickly spread to their arms by the flames on the other party's body, no matter how hard they shook the mechanical arm of the power suit, they couldn't let those flames go out in the slightest.
"Damn UPL...... This flame is a little crazy, isn't it? ”
Galen looked at a large mass of viscous incendiary agent that had fallen onto a rock and began to burn violently, and took several steps back in fear.
Sure enough, it was not unreasonable that the humans of their earth, as well as the damn UPL Earth Coalition Government, were able to slowly colonize the universe and faintly become the overlord of one side......
All this is the power of human knowledge and wisdom! This is the root of why human beings can colonize the universe!
No matter how many bugs there are, no matter how fearful their fangs and claws are, under the wisdom and technology of human beings, the endless variety of war weapons are by no means something that can be resisted by insects who fight only by their physical instincts!
Now look at it, what if there are more of them? After the humans of the Hope slowly developed, didn't they solve them with a large incendiary bomb?
"Alas...... This should be over, right? ”
It's another terrible night......
When the aftermath of the incendiary bomb explosion was over, and there were no more embers falling from the sky, Galen relaxed a little, and looked at the sky and earth red by the flames, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
If this extra-large incendiary bomb was not thrown directly into the cave, but fell out of the cave, I am afraid that all the marines present would be burned into a red lump of iron by these terrifying flames, right?
Looking at the puddles of flames burning on the ground around him, and the insects that crackled under the flames, Galen finally lowered the muzzle of his gun.
No wonder, no wonder Planck's old bastard had just warned them to hide in time, and if they were still exposed in the direction of the hole, I'm afraid many of them would be like those unlucky people who were running around, right?
"Attention Marines on fire! Anyone who catches fire will immediately run to the edge of Area C and Area B at full speed, and the SCV engineering vehicles are ready with effective fire extinguishing equipment! Those flames, they won't be extinguished by normal means, don't waste your time anymore! ”
"Repeat again! Attention all Marines on fire! Immediately move to Zone C at full speed......"
At this time, the stern voice of Commander Doug sounded again in the channels of all the Marines.
She knew very well that this incendiary agent would not be extinguished by ordinary water or rolling on the spot, not even if it was covered with sand and gravel to isolate the planet's atmosphere!
Because, these incendiary agents themselves carry their own accelerants and active metals, coupled with their own viscous properties, they can attach to any object and burn, and once they mess around, they can only let those incendiary agents continue to spread on their own bodies until they are completely burned out!
If we hadn't used the right way to extinguish the fire earlier, I'm afraid that even the armored power suit would have been destroyed by the high temperature flames, right?
Even if it won't be burned, the occupants inside will definitely be slowly roasted into a pile of cooked meat by the high temperature!
After all, even if the CMC-300/400 armored power combat suit itself is designed to withstand the harsh environment, it can temporarily move freely in some fires, but after all, there is an upper limit!
Whether the temperature is too low or too high, it will exceed the upper limit of its own regulation, and when its own regulation mechanism is overloaded, it will cause serious damage to the marines inside!
"Hey! Galen, there shouldn't be anything to do with us right now, right? ”
Looking at the terrifying fire that was still burning on the other side and would not stop for a short time, Darius said to Galen next to him, and then threw away the rifle in his hand that had run out of magazines, and then randomly found a stone that was not burned by the flames, and sat down like that.
His armor, along with his own weight, crushed the stone in an instant.
Seriously, although the battle didn't last too long, this short and intense exchange of fire under high intensity still exhausted him.
In that kind of battle that requires a high degree of concentration, and even the rifle is red by him two or three times, the consumption of people's physical and mental strength is huge!
In addition, before, their Viper team was still standing guard on the night shift, and they were already exhausted, but now, after finally being able to relax, he felt a wave of fatigue welling up in his heart.
Later, when he is sure that he is safe, he must return to the barracks as soon as possible, take off this bulky armor, and then sleep hard!
"It should be over, right? If you look at the fires, I guess they will burn for at least an hour or two......"
Call!
With a sigh of relief, Galen followed the example of Darius, walked over, found a place to sit down, and carefully placed his electromagnetic rifle at his side after turning off the safe.
He was woken up in the middle of the night, and he was still participating in such a high-intensity battle, and he himself felt tired!
Although wearing a power combat suit can save a lot of energy, and it is not very difficult to stand inside, if you sit down, it is still much more comfortable than when you are standing.
"By the way, Darius, you say, can they eat the meat of these worms?"
The two of them sat and looked at the huge fire in front of them, which was burned by incendiary agents.
When the corpses of those bugs were contaminated with incendiary agent and given a little bit, with the trace amount of oxygen contained in this planet, and the biological fat in the corpses of the bugs, after being roasted at high temperatures, the pile of bug corpses began to burn gradually, and bursts of black smoke came out.
“……”
Every now and then, the bugs would be burned to the point of crackling.
Galen even saw a worm that was relatively close, its broken flesh was burned by the fire, and it was constantly shaking, and from time to time it was bubbling out like a fat-like liquid, and when these liquids came into contact with the flames, it fueled the fire even more, and in turn continued to roast the flesh.
Then, looking at the white flesh that had been burned to a creature, Galen only felt that his throat was twitching all the time, and he swallowed his saliva, which was the instinctive reaction of humans after seeing food.
"Probably not, right? Their body fluids are strongly acidic, and strong acids are highly toxic to us humans! ”
This kind of hideous monster, just looking at it is unappetizing, how can it still eat it?
Although he said that, Darius felt that if there were no poisonous and strong acid vapors in the air of this planet, he really wanted to take off his helmet and smell it well, and the smell of these large-scale barbecues in front of him must be very fragrant, right?
"What's wrong?"
Darius, who was about to continue to say something, saw Galen suddenly stand up, and then, he also turned his head to look in the direction the other party was looking at.
Over there, there was a Marine on fire, constantly fluttering and rolling, and around the other side, there were also several united front members who were helplessly surrounding each other.
They seemed to want to come forward to help, but they were a little afraid of the flames on each other's bodies, so for a while, they were so deadlocked.
"Forget it, Galen, it's useless, leave it to the SCV engineering vehicles to deal with."
Seeing the stupid look, Darius also shook his head helplessly.
The fully enclosed armored power suit of the marines has the ability to resist a certain amount of high temperatures, and now, looking at the other party's strength and cheerfulness, it is estimated that it has not burned inside, right?
Tut!
That idiot, he must have been stupefied by the fire all over his body, right?
Wouldn't he have calmed down, and hurried to the edge of Zones C and B as fast as he could, taking advantage of the heat to get inside?
What's the use of him flapping on the spot like this? No one else can help him if they want to! Didn't you see a few people next to you who wanted to help him, but they were all broken away by him and set on fire?
"Forget it, let me help him!"
After saying that, Darius shook his head and smiled again, and then used his authority to directly connect to the channel of the SCV engineering vehicles at the base.
"Are there any engineers in Zones C and B who have nothing to do? There's a fool on our side who is on fire, and he's throwing himself around! You'd better send someone to help him right away, or you'll be freshly baked with iron-clad roasted human flesh later!" ”
With that, Darius marked the location of the ignition on the map and turned off the communication.
He felt that the quality of these newcomers was getting worse and worse!
I don't know, next, will the next batch of soldiers selected and recruited by Hope using that game platform be the same as these bastards?
Hope...... No way?
"Okay, you're right, so let's do it first."
Seeing that Darius had summoned the SCV Engineers, and that there was indeed an SCV at the junction of Sectors C and B taxiing at high speed with a fire extinguishing device, Galen nodded and sat down again.
Since there are professional firefighters to deal with it, it is also a good choice for him not to cause trouble for others, and to take a good rest for a while.
Rattle!!
There was a cacophony of the tracks rubbing against the ground after the tank braked, and then a heavy siege tank painted red slid at high speed and rushed over, with a cloud of dust and smoke mixed with it behind it, and came to a dangerous stop in front of the Marine who was fluttering vigorously and on fire.
Originally, Little Anne planned to maneuver the tank directly to the side of the fire, or to Galen and Darius's side to have a fight.
However, when it passed by the Marine who was on fire and rolling on the ground, and did not know what it was thinking, Anne suddenly maneuvered the tank to make a sharp turn, and braked dangerously next to the opponent.
Bang!
After the siege tank in the huge assault mode came to a standstill, the heavy metal hatch on the top of its turret was suddenly opened from the inside, and then, to the surprise of the surrounding marines, it was a little girl who crawled out of it?
"Wow! Are you playing with fire? Beware of bedwetting at night! ”
A crisp little girl's voice like a yellow bird sounded directly in the channels of the surrounding marines.
Then, when little Anne was nilly jumping up from the top compartment of the tank, she trotted two briskly steps and sat directly on one of the huge barrels of her new car.
She just swayed her legs condescendingly, tilted her head, and looked at the big Marine on the ground, still tumbling and fluttering, and her whole body burned with terrifying flames.
“……”
And the surrounding marines didn't pay much attention to the little girl who came to join in the fun.
They either continued to revolve around the still burning companion on the ground, or they looked curiously at the strange little girl in a tank and in a ghost suit.
Look at the rank on her chest, it seems that she is still a major? So, it must be the rumored ghost, right?
Most of them, although they had heard of Little Annie's exploits and knew that there was a very powerful ghost agent in the battle sequence of the Hope, they had only seen each other's faces in the literature, and now, this was the first time they had seen each other face to face.
"Help! Yes! It's starting to heat up! ”
"Ahh It's hot, it's hot! Who's going to save me, ah! Scald me! ”
At this time, the stupid man who was fluttering around again finally knew how to speak.
After such a long flutter, the heat resistance of his armor has reached its limit.
Now, after the equipment was overloaded, the heat finally gradually penetrated into his armor, directly making him feel the burning pain of the fire, and even, some vulnerable parts were about to be burned?
Then, he screamed as he continued to roll and flutter with and urine.
Actually, this is also his own doing!
If at the beginning, he had calmed down as soon as possible, not making noise or plopping, but running at full speed towards the area predetermined by Commander Doug, these fires on his body would have been extinguished a long time ago, where would he have waited until now?
"Oh...... Turns out you're not playing with fire, are you? So ......"
After seeing the other party's reaction and the oozing scream, little Anne almost laughed out loud.
(Master Anne, this unfortunate little Ding Ding is almost baked, aren't you ready to make a move?) - Seeing that little Anne was still a little hesitant, Tiebs sighed helplessly, it thinks, play or something, you have to stop in moderation, right? Now, when it's medium-rare, it's almost so-so...... )
"Shut up! Tibbs, I didn't set this fire! ”
Then, after tilting her head and thinking for a while, she suddenly stretched out a thin finger that was still wearing tight armor, and went directly at the other person's body.
In the next moment, something happened that stunned everyone!
The terrifying flames and incendiary agents that had burned almost all of the Marine into a humanoid fireball actually seemed to have life, and after the little girl stretched out her fingers, they left the body of the Marine one after another, and flew to the fingertips of the little girl sitting on the barrel of the cannon, and gathered together, forming a fierce fireball of fireworks?
“……”
"This ......"
"What is this?"
Is this what it's called? Or is it ghost? Damn UPL, is this still human power, it's so unscientific......
At this moment, all the nearby marines, as well as the SCV engineer who had rushed over with the fire extinguishing equipment, all looked up in surprise and looked up at the little girl who was sitting mischievously on the barrel of the gun with her legs dangling, like playing with a basketball, playing with the fireball with her fingertips.
"Sir! Next time, don't call us again for something like this that you can handle on your own! ”
After a while, the SCV engineer who had run away for nothing could only mumble angrily after looking at the Marines lying on the ground moaning and emitting puffs of white smoke, and then at the little girl sitting on the barrel of the gun playing with the fireball.
Whether it is military rank or status, this little girl is not something that he, a little engineer, can afford to offend!
Therefore, he could only swallow the ugly words that he was about to scold, and after saying a casual word of resentment, he turned around and returned to Area B with his fire extinguishing equipment.
There are a lot of buildings in Area B that have been affected by the fire just now, and although the steel buildings are not very afraid of burning, for the sake of safety, it is better for them to hurry up and put out the flames.
"Is this the kind of magic she used to talk about? That's pretty cool! ”
The two Darius, who were sitting in the distance, of course, also saw little Annie's every move, and then, Darius began to say in amazement.
"Galen, I have now decided: I will follow in the footsteps of little Annie, answer her great call, and have her enchant me with a so-called battle axe of the kind she said, and I will be a powerful Marine who can fight in close combat! Oh no! Should be the future general of the Marine Corps! ”
After squinting at little Annie in the distance for a moment, Darius finally made up his mind.
Tonight's battle made him feel that his rifle seemed to be less able to protect his safety.
Once you are close to those bugs, with the short bayonet in front of the rifle, you obviously can't guarantee your own safety!
In this case, if little Anne can really get herself a magic weapon that she said in her mouth, then it is not unacceptable for him to practice his melee combat skills a little and change the name of his Marine team by the way?
"Are you sure you're not kidding?"
Galen was a little surprised, he couldn't understand the idea that Darius had popped up.
Before that, it seems that he was more resistant, right? Now, so soon to fall under the magic of little Annie?
"Of course not! Galen, you know, for a long time to come, we will continue to stay on this planet and fight these bugs, and if we can have one more means of melee combat, maybe, our lives will be more secure? ”
Darius said, pointing to the four-legged corpses of the creature that rushed to the side.
Around their corpses, there were also scattered the corpses of many marines with red blood.
At that time, when the battle situation was urgent, these insects once rushed to the side of the marines, and their armored power suits and the short bayonets on the muzzles of the electromagnetic rifles could not effectively protect their personal safety under the sharp claws of the insects.
Therefore, this is even more determined Darius's choice, if he can really have a more reliable means of melee combat, for the sake of his own life, he must try his best to fight for it.
"Okay...... Then, when the time comes, count me in! ”
Looking at the miserable corpses of his companions around him, Galen's eyes also dimmed.
In tonight's fierce battle, his Cobra team has also lost three veterans, and at this time, on his captain's panel, there are only six team members who still display life signals.
Although, by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, a new team member will report and add to his squad sequence, he can still feel a little sad.
But this is war after all, how can you not die?
“……”
"Hey! Little Annie, is that the magic you're using now? Can you control the flames? ”
After talking to Galen, Darius began to smile and open the communication with Anne, and asked.
For Anne Jr., she can unleash a terrifying fireball ability...... Well, it's magic, they've seen it before, and the huge skeleton lying on the beach right now is her handiwork.
However, this is the first time they have seen that the other party can manipulate the flames at will! It must be one of the other party's magical abilities, right?
"I didn't use magic!"
Although using magic is not much more difficult for little Anne than breathing, she really doesn't use magic now.
"Because, fire, it's my favorite toy!"
As for manipulating the flames, Anne said: You don't need to use magic on your own at all!
Because, the flame will act according to her own will, and she can control it as she likes, without consuming a little bit of her own magic power at all.
After speaking, Little Anne shook her hand directly, and let the fireball above her finger directly smash into a seemingly flat ground in the distance, and then, soon, under the loose ground, it trembled, and then suddenly jumped out of a snake-like monster insect that was on fire and screaming miserably.
"What?! And bugs? ”
"So people pay attention! Stay vigilant! Watch out for those loose floors! The kind of snake-like bugs that burrow into the ground and hide inside! ”
After seeing little Annie's movements and the snake-like worms that shoot bone spurs out of the ground, Galen and Darius couldn't help but froze for a moment.
Then, they quickly reacted, grabbed the electromagnetic rifle that had been thrown to the ground by the two men, and stood up and shouted loudly in the Marines' channel.
Click! Click!
Two sounds of electromagnetic rifle loading rang out, and Galen and Darius grabbed their weapons at the same time.
"Pick up your weapons, hurry! Get ready for battle! ”
In the middle of the battle, those snake-like insect monsters that shoot terrifying and dense bone spurs from a long distance, they will even burrow directly into the ground to avoid danger?
So, how many of these monsters are still lurking on the battlefield now?
“……”
After hearing the order and seeing the worm that jumped out of the ground, all the Marines had to get nervous again.
One by one, they were armed with guns and found positions to stand guard, staring at the loose ground near and far that seemed to be hiding bugs.
Because, no one knows, those bugs, will they suddenly jump out? Then, will that terrible bone spur shoot at them in the next moment?
There is no need to wait for the post-war statistics, they can almost know by now that the casualties in tonight's battle under that terrible bone spur of the marines, at least, accounted for more than half of the total casualties, right?
At the beginning, many of their companions fell on top of the terrible poisonous biological weapons as if they had been cut wheat, and if there were still many snake-like monsters hidden under this land, how would they clean up this area?
"Everyone, stay on guard on the perimeter and don't enter Area C for the time being......"
