Chapter 0234: Outbreak (1)
After a series of three nuclear bombs that fell from outside the atmosphere completely blew up and wiped out the bugs' ground nest base, little Anne quickly boarded her Wraith special suit and began to return home.
Now, she has set up an automatic cruise and let the fighter fly on its own on the way back to the ground base.
"Uh-huh......"
After setting the route of the fighter's automatic cruise return, little Annie put her feet on the console very comfortably, and then fell crooked in the driver's seat, holding a pack of Bibi Duowei beans bought from Diagon Alley in one hand, and a bottle of sweet and sour functional drinks produced in the base canteen in the other, and began to eat a lot.
"Hmm...... Beef flavoured ......"
After dropping a multi-flavored bean the size of a broad bean into her mouth, she chewed and ate it as she savored the different taste of each snack.
Suck ~ suck!
After taking two large sips of the sweet and sour energy drink, little Anne impatiently pressed the green button on the console that had been flashing for communication not long ago.
"It's you again! What's the matter? Hurry up, they're very busy right now! ”
With a packet of flavored beans in one hand and a bottle of drink in the other, Anne didn't wait for the holographic avatar of the communications officer who had just appeared to speak, but she herself squinted her eyes and asked impatiently.
“……”
The officer, who had tried several times to get connected, was choked up and speechless when he saw the little girl looking like this.
Hell yes!
The way you look now, dare you say you're busy?!
Moreover, when performing combat missions, you even dare to set the communication to silent mode ?!
If it weren't for the fact that the other party's military rank was too much higher than his own, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was just a little girl, if it weren't for the other party's bad record of beating his subordinates, he would have exploded a lot of foul language!
"If you have something, say it quickly! If there's nothing important, I'm going to hang up soon! ”
After casually tossing the empty drink bottle aside, Anne reached out and grabbed a bean from the paper bag of flavored beans, threw it into the air as if it were playful, and then stuck her head out of her open mouth to catch it, chewed it twice, and then quickly spit it out again.
Ahh
This bean, it will smell like boogers?!
Wizarding snacks like this one, called Bibi Beans, can be found on the Hogwarts Express, at the Duke of Honey's candy store in Hogsmeade, or at the Diagon Alley food store.
In a bag of "Bibi multi-flavored beans", people are likely to eat strawberries, honeydew melons, peppers, peaches, beef, oranges, and other flavors.
Those wizards with strange tastes or bad temperaments also deliberately make beans without any flavor overflow, only after putting them in their mouths and biting them open, they can know what it tastes like, and if they are unlucky, they are also likely to eat some other flavors, such as nasal wax, earwax, cow feces and other flavors......
No, little Anne was unfortunate enough to have a peculiar taste just now!
"Phew! Bah! ”
Annoyed, she simply threw the bag of beans onto the cockpit floor, and prepared to continue rummaging through her pocket.
Little Anne has always had a good habit of collecting all kinds of delicious snacks in every world.
Therefore, even after so long, she still has a lot of food in her space bag, and when she is idle, she can turn it out and make a tooth sacrifice, or use it to feed some people.
"Colonel Anne! According to the satellite, a small group of bugs in the form of dragons, estimated to be more than thirty, are not far from your route, and at your current speed, it is expected to encounter them in five minutes, so you had better change course now, or increase the altitude! ”
I don't know why, since they humans succeeded in smashing the nest base that the bugs had built on the ground in three consecutive hits under the unreliable guidance of the ghost agents half an hour ago, more and more traces of bugs began to appear on this planet.
Some of them just jumped out of the ground in groups of threes and twos, some of them appeared in groups, and even the satellites scanned the bottom of the seabed in the strong acid deep sea, where there seemed to be traces of large-scale insect swarm movement?
The two conclusions of the Hope's staff officer corps for these phenomena are:
First, the nuclear strike they humans have just provoked these bugs?!
Second, are these bugs just the normal riot behavior that occurs after being attacked by human terrorist weapons?
As for the specifics, the staff committee does not know, after all, they humans and insects really can't communicate, and it is impossible to get more information.
None of them had ever imagined that such an outrageous thing would happen as a nuclear bomb killing the supreme leader of the bugs, and the swarm was becoming more and more angry, and gradually getting rid of the suppression of the previous swarm leader......
Therefore, after discovering the anomaly of the swarm, now, all the human side of the Hope can do is to shrink their defenses, be ready for battle, and pay close attention to the movements of the swarm.
"Colonel Annie? Did you hear that? Feed? ”
Seeing that the little girl on the other side of the communication still looked indifferent, the liaison officer was a little anxious.
The distance between the swarm and the Wraith fighter is getting closer and closer, and the fighter itself does not have stealth mode turned on, if you don't adjust the flight direction and altitude, the encounter between the two sides is inevitable!
"You're so annoying...... I know, so I'm going to destroy them now? ”
After speaking, Little Annie didn't wait for the other party to react, and took off the metal armor shoes of the foot ghost suit in two straight strokes, and directly used her smooth feet to control the joystick of the fighter plane, and plunged directly into the clouds.
She had just turned out a large chocolate frog, and now she planned to use her feet to manipulate the plane to destroy the wyvern bugs while eating, so that she could play without hindering herself from eating.
There are only thirty dragon bugs on the left and right, and in her opinion, controlling it with her feet is almost enough!
As for firing weapons or replacing missiles, she can use the invisible mage's hand to help, so that it will be fine, and there will be absolutely no accidents.
“……”
Seeing the other party's movements, the communications officer's lips trembled, and he almost stared at him.
How could she mess around like this? She doesn't want to die like this, huh?
This little girl dares to mess around like this, and use her feet to manipulate the plane to slap more than 30 insects? It's not a joke, is it?
In case, she was killed by an accident by a bug, or if she was destroyed by a bug and crashed, then this responsibility must have its own part, right?
When the time comes, his own fate will be ......
"Colonel Anne! Please don't be playing! In less than a minute, those Wyvern bugs are about to collide with you! If you really want to fight, please be cautious! ”
After exhaling deeply, he hurriedly shouted when he saw that the other party was still speeding towards the Wyvern swarm.
"Oh, I'm so serious now......"
While continuing to manipulate the fighter plane with her feet, little Anne replied a little slurred as she bit the chocolate frog that was still struggling with half of her head gone.
Aren't they just about 30 flying insects? Why is he making such a fuss?!
You know, in the game, little Anne herself is a super ace! The title of the Fire Eagle that never falls is not for nothing.
Dealing with this number of bugs, and only flying insects that can lose poison sacs, she thinks that using her feet is enough!
Besides, what difference does it make between her using her hands or her feet to help control the plane with the help of an invisible mage's hand? Even if she makes a mistake, she can still use spells to cheat.
When the time comes, if the whole annoys her, she will be burned and burned!
"Colonel Anne! The Wyvern Swarm is not far in front of you! It's about to collide, so please be careful! Repeat! Please be careful! ”
Seeing that the little girl's fighter plane was about to encounter the insect swarm, the communications officer didn't care that he was still in the command hall of the base command center, so he hurriedly shouted loudly, and once again successfully focused everyone's attention on him.
However, at this time, his eyebrows are all burned, discipline or something, where can he take care of so much?
“……”
Commander Doug, who was busy analyzing the cause of the swarm with the two lieutenants, couldn't help but frown when he saw the exclusive communications officer who was responsible for contacting ghost agents who were out on combat missions shouted loudly again.
Don't...... What kind of moth did little Anne come up with?
But shouldn't she have already started to maneuver the fighter plane back home? What can happen at this time?
"Hoo ......"
Secretly exhaling, Doug decided to finish the business at hand first.
Strange?
Why did the liaison officer, who was still yelling just now, suddenly shut up now?
After about a minute or two, after seeing that there was nothing going on on his side for the time being, Doug decided that it would be better to go over and take a look and pay attention, but he must not let the troublesome little girl have an accident.
"Is there something wrong here?"
After walking behind the communications officer's chair, Doug asked with a frown as he looked at the other man's holographic screen, a little confused.
On the screen, Doug could clearly see from the satellite interface: Little Annie's red-painted Wraith special suit fighter was driving a small swarm of Wyvern bugs at high speed.
The 25mm caliber pulse laser cannon in the belly of her fighter was originally only used as an air-to-ground support weapon, and did not have much air combat capability.
But now, she was summoned by the little girl as an aerial cannon, and she was trying to avoid the indiscriminate flying poison sacs thrown by the insects, or to fight desperately, while beating several flying insects into the air.
“??”
When Doug Guess had just finished his inquiry, the little girl's special fighter plane turned around and fired two twin missiles after passing through the swarm and eliminating most of the bugs, directly blasting a wyvern bug that was about to escape into a pile of red-green flesh and blood......
Seeing this, Doug frowned imperceptibly.
Little Anne seems to have done a good job, look, in the blink of an eye, she killed a large group of wyvern bugs beautifully, so, what kind of fuss was he yelling at this communications officer just now?!
"Uh......"
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I was in a state of emotion, and there's nothing going on now......"
After a moment of silence, the communications officer could only turn around slightly awkwardly and give an apologetic wry smile to the commander behind him.
Do you want him to say that the reason why he was screaming just now is because: that little kid just now, she is actually using two feet to control the fighter?
Then, even with her feet, she chased after more than thirty flying dragon insects, and in less than a minute, she wiped out the other party without injury?
Such a murderous little girl, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't even believe it, right?
“……”
Doug looked at the communications officer inexplicably, and then at the red fighter on the screen, after eliminating all the flying insects, was shaking and correcting its posture, and began to switch to automatic cruise and return at an altitude, a little confused.
"Next time, if it's okay, please don't make a lot of noise in the command hall!"
After confirming that there was really nothing special, she gave a slight reproach, and then turned around and returned to her post in confusion.
————
(Master Anne, I think you'd better get back to the base now...... The bugs beneath the planet's crust, they seem to be getting agitated...... No, perhaps, arguably preparing for a riot?
- After feeling the monstrous chaos of the bugs on this planet, Tibbs hastened to remind Anne.
Those bugs, now it's like...... Suddenly lost all restraints and went berserk? And then...... They seem to be heading towards the surface? )
"Huh? I saw it! There are so many bugs......"
Little Anne, who was on the way back from the cruise, soon discovered an island that the fighter plane passed by, and she saw those dense swarms of insects at a glance.
Are they crawling up to the ground in droves from beneath the earth's crust, from the ocean, and roaring angrily?
"Crooked? Command center? This is Ghost Agent Annie, I've seen a lot of valuable targets, so hurry up and launch fusion bombs! ”
Looking at the dense swarm of insects below, without thinking about it, Little Anne directly called the base and asked them to quickly launch the kind of missile that would explode a mushroom cloud.
In this situation, there is no need for her to lock on to the target, as long as that fusion missile is smashed down, it will definitely be able to kill a large number of bugs!
"What? I've run out of stock? I didn't use it indiscriminately, don't talk nonsense! ”
When she heard that the communications officer in the reply was complaining that she had just used up all the nuclear bombs, Little Anne quickly glared at the other party and retorted unceremoniously!
Where do you mess with it? It's clear that their instructions don't make it clear!
"If the stock runs out, why don't you hurry up and make it for me? What the? How long does it take to be spicy? ”
After hearing the other party's words, the next batch of intercontinental nuclear missiles will take at least several days to be manufactured, little Anne was decisively angry.
After a few days, maybe the bugs below have already run out, right?
"Forget it, I'd better get a meteorite and play with it...... Do the math, how big a meteorite would it take to blow this place up? A hundred meters in diameter? Yes? A kilometer? ”
"Crooked? Crooked? Cut...... What a broken signal! ”
After discovering that she couldn't call the nuclear bomb to blow up the swarm to play, Little Annie was about to forcibly summon a meteorite to drop down from the asteroid belt in space to play, but before she could communicate with the startled communications officer, the military communication that claimed to cover the entire JNO.3 planet was inexplicably interrupted?
(Annie!) Come on! Don't go back to base! Lift off and run to the Hope! The army of bugs is coming out! Quantities, hundreds of millions!
- At the moment when the communication was interrupted, Tibbs hurriedly reminded little Annie who was about to cast a spell in the cabin.
Now, this is not the time to joke! The number of bugs is surprisingly large! And, they seem to have become unusually berserk? What's going on here?
Tiebs also didn't understand, it seems that humans didn't do anything harmful to insects, right? These insects, who were originally playing well underground, looked like the well water did not interfere with the river water, why did they suddenly become like this? )
"Wow, that's a lot...... I've seen it! ”
While answering, Little Annie's originally smiling face quickly turned into a serious expression, and then, she quickly sat up straight, pulled the joystick with both hands, and directly let her fighter plane, at an almost vertical angle of ninety degrees, accelerate straight into the sky and rub the atmosphere into the air.
Because, she had just seen: below, above the ground, in the canyon, and on the sea, countless flying dragon insects were flying densely!
That number, as far as she could see, was at least in the millions?!
There are so many spicy dragon bugs, she is not stupid, she will definitely run away!
If she wasn't a little reluctant to use this special fighter of her own, it is estimated that she would have slipped away with a teleportation spell, right?
Like so many insects, just the ones she can see, if you count the ones that climb on the ground, it is estimated that there are hundreds of millions, right?
It's not a joke that ants bite and kill elephants!
With such a number of insect swarms, if you don't run quickly, let alone a demigod mage whose physical strength is not very strong, even if it is replaced by the existence of the great demon Akmund, it is estimated that she will have to kneel, right?
So, Tiebs is right!
Now in this situation, I don't care about anything, let's run away first!
As for the human base on the ground, when she is too busy to take care of herself now, where is there any air traffic control for them?
————
"Commander Doug! Spot the anomaly! The swarm! Lots of biters! The boundless sea of insects ......"
Suddenly, in the command center of the base, a communications officer who was in charge of staring at the satellite map, began to scream loudly.
"Commander! The Hope sent an emergency communication...... Yes! The signal is interrupted! ”
"Commander! Colonel Anne's signal disappears! We've lost her location information and communications!"
"Commander! All our external communications have been cut off! All the satellites are abnormal and cannot connect! Except for the wired network and short-distance optical signal communication within the base, we cannot get all the information from the outside world for the time being! ”
"Your Excellency, Commander! Observed swarms, lots of swarms! They're coming at our base! Quantity...... Quantity...... At least hundreds of millions!? ”
In just a few moments, the entire command center was blown up!
In fact, not only the ground command center of the human race has exploded here, but even the insect swarm of the entire planet has begun to blow up the nest!
Now, all the humans in the base can even clearly see with the naked eye: in the distance of the base, above the sky, there are dense wyvern insects, and the number is too many to count!
Just looking at it from afar can make people feel a wave of despair......
And the sea is tumbling violently!
Countless swarms of insects, like schools of fish in a riot, attacked the base from the bottom of the sea, and some of the fast-moving insects had even washed up onto the beach, ignoring the strafing of the large minefields and large-caliber machine gun fortresses laid by the humans, and continued to charge desperately.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Da Da Da ......
The sound of gunfire, the whistling of missile launches, the sound of mines exploding, the roar of tank artillery, and the roar of engines as a large number of warplanes roared into the air to meet the enemy, instantly resounded throughout the entire human base.
The various broken corpses of the bugs were piled up on the beaches around all the islands of the base in an instant, but those bugs still kept rushing up.
In the distance, the sea was still tumbling, and in the sky, there were also flying fast dragon bugs that began to swoop in......
"Quick! Fast! Fast! Everyone, get into your own positions right now! ”
"Marines, to their respective lines! Check your weapons and ammo! ”
"SCV Engineers! Hurry up and carry ammunition for the front line! ”
"Bastard! Where are you going? Your line of defense is over there! ”
The entire base, without anyone's orders, began to operate efficiently.
A large number of Marines, tankmen, or SCVs rushed out of those barracks, ready to reach the defense line around the base in the shortest possible time to snipe at the insects that were constantly attacking the base.
"It's over......"
"Commander, time is urgent, please give the order to retreat!"
In the command center, a group of officers were looking at Commander Doug, who also had a bad face, with pale faces.
Now, all the facilities outside the base, whether it is satellites or remote pipe wiping equipment, have all lost their links, but the high-power radar in their base is still working.
From the interface of the radar, on the holographic map with a radius of more than 100 kilometers that the radar can cover and scan, what they see is all dense red dots, and countless red dots representing the life signal of the bug......
The red number representing the number of bugs is rising rapidly under the calculation of intelligent computers, and now, it has broken 100 million!
And all the humans in their ground base, even if the non-combatants are combined, it is estimated that there are less than 20,000, right?
Therefore, just by seeing this map of the situation between friend and foe, these military staff officers and adjutants know that this ground base will definitely not be able to be defended!
Now, an emergency retreat is the only option they can make!
Moreover, this decision must be made quickly! The sooner the better!
Be sure to evacuate before the large army of bugs arrives, and before they break through the outer defenses of the base!
Otherwise, when the time comes, it will be too late even if you want to run! Once the boundless sea of insects rushes into the base, or the large army of those flying dragon bugs arrives on the battlefield to block the airspace, there will be no one alive here in the base!
“……”
After glancing at the beating hologram in a daze, Doug finally looked up with difficulty.
"Attention all personnel, listen to my orders!"
After glancing at the officers present, and then at the suffocating red holographic picture of friend and foe, Doug took a deep breath, pressed a button with slightly trembling fingers, and opened the communication of all channels in the base.
"Attention all combat units! We are ready to abandon the entire ground base! ”
"All of you, leave your defensive posts and enter barracks, heavy factories, engineering stations, or starports that can be lifted off! Switch machine gun bunkers and missile towers, or tanks and vehicles that you can't take away, all to automatic attack mode! ”
"Attention all SCV engineers! Abandon all your missions and return to the command center or reach any nearby building that can be lifted into the air! ”
"Attention all transport ships, load the nearest personnel near you, and be ready to take off at any time when fully loaded!"
"Attention all Wraith fighters! Please don't leave the base area to fight the bugs! Get ready to protect your base facilities at all times! ”
"The Great Retreat will start on time in three minutes! After three minutes, all the ships and facilities capable of taking off will be off the ground, and you have less than three minutes left, so be sure to cherish ......"
After saying all the orders in one breath, Doug let go of the button that pressed the emergency communication and sat down in his place.
She never imagined that the humans of their Hope would leave this resource-rich planet in such a way as lost dogs......
She had always thought that they would be able to stay here longer, and even build a permanent base to collect energy from it all the time!
She never imagined that the number of insects on this planet would be so large that they would not have the slightest hope of victory......
"Quick! Fast! Everyone, go back! Hurry up! ”
"Everyone, retreat at full speed! Leave those supplies alone, just throw some timing mines, hurry! ”
Galen and Darius, who had just run out of the barracks and were about to reach the defensive line, were shocked when they heard this order, and they didn't care to find the reason, so they hurriedly waved their hands again, so that the large group of marines turned around and ran into their respective barracks.
At the same time, the hatches of numerous machine-gun forts and missile towers, or heavy siege tanks, were opened, and one after another, marines and tank crews, or other military personnel, ran out of their posts.
In a hurry of time, these things that cannot be lifted into the air will definitely not be taken away by human beings, so they can only be controlled by intelligent computers, so that they can buy a little more time for the evacuation of human beings.
And some of the refineries, radar stations, or supply station staff who are not capable of taking off are also hurriedly wearing simple protective gear, jumping out of their respective posts, running to flying buildings or armored transport ships parked on the ground with the rear hatch open.
Da Da Da ......
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
While the humans were scrambling to prepare for the great evacuation, on the periphery of the base, under the control of the computer's automatic program, countless machine gun bases were constantly strafing the bugs that crawled onto the beach.
Those missile launch towers will also shoot high-explosive missiles at those sporadic flying insects or huge thunder beasts that crawl ashore, and in the flames of missile explosions, the insects will be blown up by human weapons of mass destruction......
Countless bugs, large and small, whether they were puppies or stinging snakes, they all fell one by one on the mine belt, or under the large-caliber machine guns, or under the fire of terrifying uncontrolled automatic tanks and powerful missiles!
Under the cover of this terrifying firepower, even those huge thunder beasts with extremely high defense could not survive for too long, let alone small bugs.
However, even so, they still continue to attack regardless of this, because there are too many of them, and it is only a matter of time before they break through the human defenses......
"Sir! It's time for the three-minute evacuation! ”
In the command center, a staff officer looked at Commander Doug who was slumped in his chair with an ugly face.
Now that the scheduled time for evacuation had arrived, they needed Commander Doug to give the final order to take off.
"Let's get started......"
With Doug's weak wave of his hand, the ground of the entire human base began to shake slowly.
Then, one by one, buildings, barracks, heavy factories, or command centers, surrounded by transport ships and a full 500 Wraith fighters, started their respective anti-gravity engines, and under the action of particle thrusters, slowly drifted towards space at the highest speed......
Da Da Da ......
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Every now and then, some Wyvern bugs that have broken through the missile defense circle and flown towards the retreating human troops.
Soon, however, they were shot down by the occasional unlucky transport or two transports or warplanes before being besieged by the guard turrets or warplanes on the various buildings.
Then, like broken sacks of meat, they whirled and fell to the ground along with the transports they shot down......
