Captain Leona of the Hope slowly lifted off into space and returned to orbit on the Planck YS001 armored transport spacecraft, escorted by ten Wraith fighters.

Far from the ground base, on the other hemisphere of the planet JNO.3, on one of the largest islands, another armored transport spacecraft numbered YS002 was carrying twenty veterans of the Marine Corps who had experienced two human-insect battles, and landed on time on the ground at the predetermined position.

"Quick, quick! Everyone, run! ”

As soon as the hatch of the transport ship opened, the marines ran to the ground of the island under the command of a captain at the helm.

As soon as the Marines had all run out of the open hatch, the armoured ship sprang into the air and flew straight into the air.

"Good luck to you!"

As the spacecraft flew away, the Marines' channel heard the voice of the captain of the transport ship.

While the Marines are on duty, they will be ordered to hover high in the air.

In this battle plan, the spacecraft will be used as an aerial platform at high altitude to help the Marine Corps monitor the ground and surrounding areas of the island below, and if necessary, it can use the multi-barrel electromagnetic cannon installed in its belly to provide necessary air fire support.

After four hours of waiting, it will land and pick them up after the Marines have completed their reconnaissance mission as expected.

"Call the base command center! Here is the captain of the third squad of the Marine Corps, number 031! We have now landed successfully and arrived at our intended location! The surrounding view is very low, it is still dark here, we are currently above the ground, we have not found any special circumstances, please indicate! ”

The group of twenty marines, after the armoured transport ship had departed, quickly occupied a small well-defended high ground and dispersed to keep on guard.

At this moment, a Marine captain with 031 painted on his chest armor turned on the night vision equipment of his armored power suit, and it was easy to see his surroundings from his green interface.

After scanning the surrounding situation, he quickly began to follow the process and contact the ground base command center on the other side of the planet through satellites, which was in a daylight state.

"This is the ground command center, and we've seen your situation! Now that the signal is good, you can go on a reconnaissance mission. The target is in the mountains and valleys to the northwest of you, about five kilometers away from your straight line, so keep an eye out for your surroundings and keep in touch! ”

At this time, Commander Doug from the ground command center was not here, she was seeing off Captain Leona at Barracks 1 at the base.

So, now only a liaison adjutant is responsible for coordinating the liaison and command of the twenty Marine Scouts.

Three days ago, after the bugs dug holes on a large scale that night in an attempt to sneak attack, the human side once again scanned and reconnoitred the entire planet at a deeper level.

Subsequently, they really found a natural crack in the mountain canyon of the largest island on the other side of the planet, which was suspected to be the entrance to an underground cave, and the satellite could faintly find that there seemed to be a life signal of bugs in it?

Because of this, the base sent an armored transport ship carrying twenty Marine Corps veterans to try to penetrate deep into the rift of the canyon for further reconnaissance.

"031 received! Now that we're ready to go, please give us the necessary navigation and satellite scanning support! ”

After receiving a reply from the base command center, the captain numbered 031 immediately waved his hand and asked the surrounding twenty marines to form a combat reconnaissance formation with him.

"Quick! Let's get started! ”

After saying that, he took the lead towards the northwest side of the mountain, and trotted and ran.

At the same time, the adjutant of the command center of the base also opened the permission for him to use the satellite, so that next to his radar interface, a holographic plane topographic map appeared.

It is the real-time observation of the place by a geostationary satellite in space, which can provide them with the necessary warning if there are bugs in the vicinity.

"Everyone, hurry up and keep up, run forward! Attention, always be vigilant! ”

After looking at the topographic map, it seemed that there was no trace of insect activity within a few kilometers of himself and the others, 031 waved his hand violently and ran forward quickly, while also paying attention to the real-time observation of radar and satellite in the interface of his helmet.

When he took over this task, he knew that this task was very dangerous, and if he was not careful, it was likely to be the end of the total annihilation!

But at the same time, the rewards of this task are great!

Once they successfully complete this task, the next rank promotion ceremony will definitely have their own people!

"Quick! Adjust your breathing and pace and keep up! In the meantime, be aware of your surroundings! ”

While running, Captain 031 also shared the plane terrain map detected by the satellite in his holographic interface to everyone's interface.

Here, however, there used to be a life signal of an insect, so he didn't dare to be too careless!

Because, once they are accidentally surrounded by a large-scale swarm, they probably won't even be able to run!

Especially the kind of stinging snake bugs that have an effective shooting distance almost equal to the electromagnetic rifle in their hands!

That kind of monster, once dozens of them appear, in the case of a face-to-face encounter, these twenty marines will definitely not be able to beat each other!

The instantaneous burst of fire of their terrifying bone spurs was obviously much more terrifying than their electromagnetic rifles!

As soon as he thought of the bone spurs that were instantly overwhelming, flying from a distance of three or four hundred meters, and could still wear the steel armor of the weak part of the armored power suit nearly twenty or thirty millimeters thick, he felt a chill......

Although, the accuracy of those bone spurs is actually not very good, and it is certainly not as reliable as the electromagnetic rifles in the hands of his own people.

However, there are many bone spurs that can't withstand other people's insects......

Even if there are only one or two stinging snakes, when they burst into a fierce burst of fire, they can instantly nail a Marine into a hedgehog!

What's more, what's even worse is that the bone spurs on their insects are all poisonous......

"Hurry up, everybody!"

Captain 031 turned back again and urged a few players who were lagging behind, and then continued to rush forward.

In this way, twenty marines, turning on their night vision equipment, hurried quietly.

They didn't even turn on the searchlights on their helmets and armored chests to avoid being spotted by the bugs, and all they could hear was the sound of rustling footsteps as their steel boots stepped on the gravel in the darkness of the night.

They now need to quickly pass through the unsheltered gravel belt, then climb the ridge up the high rocky peak, and finally, find a way into the rift canyon to see if there are any alien bugs or bug nests in there?

————

After bidding farewell to the boss of the Hope, Captain Leona and his party.

At this time, within the official game platform of the Hope, Anne and Galen, Darius, and the other eighteen members of the two Marine Corps teams were in a new map that Anne Jr. had ordered Dawn of the Brain to develop for her, using her rank privileges.

Here, it looks like a magnificent but somewhat dilapidated white rock castle in the style of the Middle Ages.

Actually, this is the city of Stratholme before she started the final battle of the Battle of Stratholm according to herself, when she was fooling around in Azeroth!

That's right! Here, it is directly based on her original memory, after it is revealed with magic tools, and then uses the powerful logical calculation power of the Dawn of the Brain to forcibly scan and restore the Stratholme City that was occupied by the undead before the fall of their Flame Kingdom!

Under the powerful power of the Dawning Brain, this place is exactly the same as Stratholme before Little Anne's attack, except that there is no army of flames surrounding her!

Like the original Stratholme, there are also countless undead entrenched in this huge city.

For example: the undead acolytes, skeletons (skeleton archers), zombies, ghouls, abominations, necromancers, meat grinders, gargoyles, a handful of death knights, and even the Dreadlord Varimasus, who was decapitated by an elite eyeless fire demon, is still in the city in good shape!

Of course, they are just a bunch of holographic game data simulated by Little Anne according to her own memories and settings, and then using the dawn of the brain.

"Hey! Little Annie, what the hell is this place? Is it an alien planet? Or, is it your hometown? It's just that this looks a little bit behind......"

When the twenty marines entered their respective simulated bunks and appeared in front of the moat bridge of the city with Colonel Anne Jr., Galen, the lieutenant captain, asked a little puzzled.

This time, the twenty of them came into the game together, just to participate in the so-called melee special training that Little Annie gave them.

However, when Galen found out that this map was a huge city in the style of the Middle Ages, he was a little confused.

Say yes melee training? How did you get to such a place?

Since it's to teach melee skills, shouldn't you go to a room set up with all kinds of cold weapons, and then get a martial arts teacher? Why did you come to such an inexplicable place now? And what is this good for training melee?

"Ouch, I'll go! Oh my mother! What a big city, what a beautiful planet! Little Annie, where is this planet? I think it's quite suitable for us humans to live in! ”

Unlike Galen's thoughts, Darius immediately inquired about the idea of the planet where the map was located after he sighed.

Look, this is a place with mountains, cities, lakes, blue skies and white clouds, this is obviously a habitable planet......

If the distance is not too far, perhaps, they hope that the ship can turn over and see if they can lay down a piece of ground and settle down?

"That's right! Little Annie, what's going on on this planet? Where the hell is it? ”

Listening to Darius's words, Galen also reacted, and immediately asked little Anne who was standing in front of the city gate bridge.

If he really could, he also hoped that on such a planet that was obviously suitable for human habitation, the more than 130,000 people of the Hope would begin to really settle down.

After all, it's better than running around the universe like a headless fly, looking for a needle in a haystack, looking for a habitable planet, right?

"This is the planet Azeroth, in another dimensional world, not in this universe!"

Hearing that the other party actually wanted to settle on such a dangerous planet, even little Annie, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was a little frightened by their bold ideas.

Just how dangerous this planet is, little Anne herself knows.

In the world of Azeroth, those countless powers have to play hand-to-hand planet or something at every turn......

If, in the past, the hundreds of thousands of weak human beings on the Hope, in addition to slightly bullying those low-level existences with advanced weapons and technology, once they encountered those heroes who were strong and had extraordinary strength, it would be a bit unsightly!

"And...... Listen to me, and if one day you do come across a planet called Azeroth, you'd better stay away from it! ”

Think about the Hope here, in addition to advanced technology, personal strength is simply useless!

Little Anne can imagine that once they run to Azeroth, a few mages or assassins will come at random, and they will not be just front-on, and they will specialize in sneak attacks or sabotage battles, which will probably make them restless, right?

Still want to settle down? The territory on the planet Azeroth has long been divided!

On the eastern kingdom side, the northern continent has been occupied by Little Annie's own Flame Alliance, and if anyone dares to reach out indiscriminately, even if the High Elves and Fire Elementals don't make a move, they are guaranteed to be beaten by the hammers of those paladins and dwarves!

And the southern continent, it is even more chaotic, there is the new Stormwind City Alliance of the Stormwind Kingdom, as well as goblins, trolls, black dragon princes, and fire demon kings? and all kinds of strange things mixed together, if anyone casually goes to occupy the territory, it is estimated that they will not know how they died!

Kalimdor's side, not to mention!

The Burning Legion is powerful, right? Technology is advanced enough, right? The humanoid magic energy is up to anyone! However, this existence that has really served countless worlds, and they have all been beaten out on Kalimdor's side! Mr. Ke, one of the big guys, is also dead!

The orcs, minotaurs, boar people, etc., of the tribe, are fighting with another kind of long-eared green-headed elves and humans over the turf problem, and whoever dares to interfere with it again will be beaten!

"Why? In my opinion, this planet, it's pretty good! Look, I think it's really suitable for human survival! ”

With that, Darius began to look around in disbelief.

Although this ancient city looks a little dilapidated, and the surrounding forest also looks a little sickly, it can be transformed!

He believes that with their Hope's SCV engineering vehicle with strong construction capabilities, as long as the resources are sufficient, they can build an interstellar magnificent steel city out of thin air within half a year!

"Why? All right...... Then don't train now, I'll give you a taste first! Aunt Dawn, give them a full set of Marines equipment. ”

Seeing that Darius, the big black man, was not giving up, little Anne blinked her eyes slyly, and then directly snapped her fingers and summoned the Dawning Brain.

Anyway, you have to let these twenty fools experience the power of melee combat, right? They must have a deep understanding of the difference between the world of high magic and the world of technology!

"Okay, the Marines are fully equipped!"

In the next moment, the twenty men and women who were originally standing in front of Little Annie, and the twenty men and women in civilian clothes were instantly manipulated by the Dawning Intelligence Brain to brush the ground in this game map, and put on the CMC-300/400 armored power combat suits of the Marine Corps, as well as the electromagnetic rifles used in combat.

"Uh...... Little Annie, what do you want to do? ”

With a click, Galen subconsciously asked a little inexplicably after loading the C-15 electromagnetic rifle that suddenly appeared in his hand.

Didn't you say it before, and you're going to have a special melee training later?

Why is it that now suddenly the dawn of the brain has put on armored power combat suits and electromagnetic rifles for everyone? What kind of fuss is this?

"Nothing, just wanted to give you a little experience: the horror of those melee monsters in the wizarding world! Are you ready? I'm going to make a weird move? Don't blame me if you're scared to pee your pants! ”

Little Anne began to float and pointed to the closed gate of Stratholme.

Then, after asking Aurora to give her the authority to manipulate the map, she looked at the gate with a smirk on her face, and flew up as she floated, looking down at the twenty fully armed Marines below.

She had now decided: before going through the melee training, she had to let this guy take a good look at the horrors of melee monsters under the extraordinary power!

"Hahaha! Little Annie, you underestimate us too much, let the horses come, how can we be afraid? ”

"Everyone prepare, the battle formation is scattered! Weapon loaded! Target: City Gate! ”

Click! Click!

There was a sound of weapons being loaded.

After hearing that little Anne was going to try the fighting power of her veterans first, Darius laughed arrogantly.

Then, with a loud roar, he told all the Marines to disperse, and stood in turn facing the gates of Stratholme, aiming the muzzles of their 8mm electromagnetic rifles in the direction of the gates.

"Oh? So, I'm going to make a monster now?! ”

Seeing that everyone below seemed to be ready, little Anne smiled and snapped her fingers in the direction of the city.

Squeak~!

Then, Stratholme's heavy, huge gate made of metal and logs, after little Anne's order with the game privileges, finally began to open slowly, and there was a series of unpleasant and cacophony grinding sounds.

Roar!!!

As soon as the city gate was opened, a monster's roar suddenly erupted from inside the city gate.

Then, to the horror of Galen and the twenty marines, Darius appeared: inside, there was a huge monstrous monster that was about the size of the city gate hole, and even had its intestines out of its belly?

It also has three arms? Chains, hooks, and giant bone chopping knives? Its mountain-like body, as if it was still made up of pieces of flesh? How could there be such a spicy-eyed monster?

And that's not all!

Behind this huge monster was a large group, more than a meter tall, walking on all fours, with sharp claws and sharp teeth...... Humanoid monsters? What the hell is this? Little girl's fantasy?

Roar!!!

The huge monster at the head, after roaring again, took the lead and rushed directly towards the marines on this side of the city gate.

"Open, fire!!"

After everyone was stunned for a moment, Galen took the lead in giving the order.

He thought, for the time being, regardless of what kind of monsters these are, why did little Annie get these weird things for them in this game map? However, since the other party has already roared and rushed over, let's fight first!

Anyway, the more terrifying, more huge insects, they have already seen it, how can they be afraid of this kind of vulnerable target that knows by looking at it is not armored?

Da Da Da ...... Dadada!!

As soon as Galen's order was issued, the electromagnetic rifles in the hands of the twenty marines began to fire one after another, and under the frantic fire of the twenty electromagnetic rifles, those metal storm-like spike bullets shot directly at the monsters that rushed out of the city gate.

Da Da Da ......

Galen and Darius's two direct squads can be said to be veterans of a hundred battles!

Having experienced two bloody battles, they not only have a high psychological quality and a stable combat mood, but also have accurate and ruthless marksmanship!

Soon, most of the spike bullets they fired hit the bodies of the monsters that rushed towards them in an instant.

Burst! Burst! Burst!

The sound of countless bullets sinking into the flesh came, especially on the body of the beast like a mountain of flesh or on the fat, smooth and hideous head, which instantly exploded countless meat holes the size of a bowl, which looked very miserable.

And those small monsters that look like people but run on all fours are even more unbearable, they have been broken by the spike bullets of electromagnetic rifles, and some have even been directly blown out of their bodies, turning into a pile of broken stumps.

"Quick! Boost your firepower! Darius, your squad is here to concentrate their firepower and take out the big one first! Others, follow me to suppress the little ones! ”

When the monsters rushed out of the city gate and were already halfway to the stone bridge of the city gate, Galen finally realized that something was wrong!

First of all, he discovered: that huge and hideous, like a pile of flesh piled up and sewn together, although it had countless guns in its body, and the surface of its body, along with those bare intestines, had been beaten to tatters, but it was still rushing at high speed?

What the hell is going on? Still can't die? Impossible, right?

Moreover, its body didn't even shed too much blood?

If the black-red liquid and the green fluid coming out of the intestines were blood......

Secondly, those small models of humanoid monsters, although they are not very powerful, many of them have been broken by the weapons in their hands......

However, not only are they numerous, but what is even more terrifying is that as long as they are not crushed in the head, even if they only have one leg or one arm left, they will still scream and want to crawl over?

Dadada!!

While Galen was firing violently, he was also very puzzled in his heart!

It doesn't understand, these monsters, what the hell are they all about? Where would such unscientific creatures be?

Do they have no fear, no pain? Even the bugs that they had fought twice before, they weren't so outrageous, right?

Although there are many of them, they can also get hurt, and they will also wail and fear!

And now, these monsters who have no pain, are not afraid of death, and even if half of their bodies are broken, they still rush up at high speed regardless of it, this is obviously a foul, right?

This must be the game data that Little Anne has changed randomly, right? How could there be such outrageous creatures? This is very unscientific!

"Ah!!h

Finally, when the monsters rushed to this side of the bridge, the screams of humans rang out for the first time.

Not far away, the ten marines of the Darius team were shooting at the huge Roshan monster, and by now, they had all smashed the green intestines and a smaller arm in the opponent's exposed belly!

But it still rushed up with countless spike bullets, and with a wave of the hook chain on its huge arm, it smashed the three marines who couldn't dodge it into a pile of rags!

Then, it continued to wield the huge boning knife in its hand, and directly cut Darius, who was trying to change the magazine in shock, in half!

Then, it even quickly charged next to the remaining marines, and after stomping on the ground fiercely, all of them were blown into a pile of flesh and blood by the green energy that exploded inexplicably......

“……”

How is this possible?

Looking at the Darius team on the other side, who had already announced their total annihilation, Galen was a little stunned.

Then, at this moment, their cobra squad finally couldn't withstand the charge of those monsters who were not afraid of death, and were pounced on by the humanoid monsters that ran on four legs, and after only three or five blows, they were dismembered or inserted into the helmet by sharp claws......

"Hee-hee! Look, it's all gone, right? ”

Above the sky, little Anne was floating high in the air, watching the two squads of Galen and Darius wiped out by a group of ghouls and a giant abomination, and then laughed heartlessly.

Twenty heavily armed marines, still occupying favorable terrain, were still easily able to break through the narrow bridgehead defense line by a medium-sized abomination and hundreds of ghouls, and now, they probably didn't dare to underestimate the high demon world anymore, right?

You know, this is just the lowest level ghoul and abomination in the world of Azeroth, and little Annick has not released other high-level existences!
