Chapter Seventy-Nine: Clues to the Mother Worm
The red-tailed bird-class bomber suddenly climbed a distance on Yang Jingzhong's head, and in the process of ascent, the body began to be modular and separated, and after some splicing and combination, it finally became a heavy mecha with a height of fifteen meters, and fell in front of Yang Jingzhong.
The splashed dust covered Yang Jingzhong's face, and it was not until the dust cleared that he wiped the dust off his mask and saw the robot in front of him clearly. The cockpit in the mecha opened, and the five soldiers sat in their seats and saluted Yang Jingzhong.
(Redtail Bird-class bomber/heavy mecha, a special weapon for the federal special forces, because the entire mecha is composed of pure machinery, so it has the ability to work in a strong electromagnetic interference environment, but correspondingly, such a set of mecha requires five people to operate, except for the main part controlled by the highest-ranking commander, the limbs of the mecha, including the weapons hidden in the limbs, are handed over to the remaining four soldiers.) Such a composition requires five people to train for a long time to form a near-perfect level of cooperation. This harsh training method also makes the Redtail Bird-class pilot team extremely valuable, and as long as one pilot soldier loses combat ability, the mecha will lose most of its combat effectiveness, so even special forces will only use the Redtail Bird-class when fighting in extreme environments. )
(This type of mecha is named after the soldier's penchant to paint the propulsion engine fiery red, and can carry two barrels of 400 rounds of rocket nests and 12 "bullfighting" heavy armor-piercing rockets, yes, the missile Yang Jingzhong just saw is actually an unguided rocket, relying entirely on the shooter in the mecha to complete all operations such as calculating in advance, launching, etc.) )
Even if this is in the game, the construction of this mecha plus the training time alone is enough to build a destroyer and a half, if it weren't for the fact that this battle needs to work within the electromagnetic interference range of the mother worm, presumably the sea shark would not be willing to use this mecha that is useless except for anti-interference ability.
"Which unit are you from?" Yang Jingzhong opened the mask and asked the person sitting in the middle with the rank of captain.
"We were sent by Marshal Sea Shark to explore the way, and by the way, we also want to find you, sir."
The captain's words made Yang Jingzhong overjoyed, good guy, how did the sea shark get such a strong force.
"And where is he now?"
"About ten kilometers to the northeast, we have fired a flare, and I believe he will be there soon."
As soon as the captain's words fell, the unique voice of the landing ship came from the sky, and it arrived in front of Yang Jingzhong in the blink of an eye.
"Yo, look at your unkempt hair, it seems that you have eaten a lot of deflated." The landing ship hovered overhead, and the sea shark slid down the soft ladder and patted Yang Jingzhong on the shoulder with a grin.
"How did you escape from the Sharptooth Locust? It also protects the equipment that can be used. Yang Jingzhong saw the huge scratches on the landing ship at a glance, there is no doubt that it was definitely a masterpiece of the sharp-toothed flying locust, but unlike Yang Jingzhong's landing ship, the Sea Shark's ship was scratched with a claw, neither penetrating the armor of the landing ship, nor destroying any important equipment.
"Hey, I was an ace pilot before I entered this game, okay, you can't do anything and just break in with a big head." The sea shark pursed its lips contemptuously.
"Oh? So you actually studied flying? ”
"Well, there's no comment, speaking of which, you care about what I'm learning in reality, shouldn't your focus now be on how to find the mother worm?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't resist my curiosity for a while, but how many landing ships do you have, can they fit more than 2,000 people?" Yang Jingzhong smiled awkwardly, too, it is very rude to rashly ask each other about their majors or schools in reality in the game, the essence of this game is to conceal personal academic qualifications, and everyone competes with each other with their truest strength, so as to prevent individual students from good schools and good majors from disobeying the orders of their superiors due to a sense of superiority.
"It's fine, but do you have two thousand? Just asked me for a landing ship. Sea Shark glanced at the soldiers behind him, and said in his heart, even if you count the remaining armored vehicles, you don't need a landing ship of the level of 2,000 people.
"The skua has gathered a small 2,000 men and built a cave fortress in the southeast, so let's go to him first, gather our forces and then discuss."
"Alright, Colonel Owen, fire flares and get all of our men over." The sea shark nodded, turning to one of the officers.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Three red flares were fired into the sky at the same time, and there was no need to worry about what would attract the attention of the insects, because the explosion was so loud just now, if the insects really wanted to eat their troops, they would have rushed over and surrounded them.
"Buzz."
The flare had barely reached the highest point and had not yet fallen, and the roar of the landing ship's engine was already ringing in the sky. Yang Jingzhong was stunned for a moment, listening to this voice, there were at least dozens of landing ships, he looked at the sea shark, and saw that the sea shark at this time was bending the corners of his mouth at a little angle, looking at him with a smile.
In an instant, the landing ships appeared on the horizon, and the black dots grew larger and larger, and finally almost covered the entire sky.
"A total of one hundred and forty-three landing ships, one hundred of which are responsible for transporting troops, and the rest are responsible for transporting various weapon parts and ammunition, as well as thirty Chitail Bird-class heavy mechs and thirty Black Cat-class armored personnel carriers."
Listening to the numbers reported by Wolf in his brain, Yang Jingzhong was simply stunned, this is about half of the landing force, I didn't expect that the Sea Shark could be preserved so well, but even if he is an ace pilot, it doesn't mean that he can protect so many landing ships, right?
"It's an invisibility device." Wolf's voice ringed in his head.
"Stealth device? Isn't that thing useless to the Zerg, and can only be used as internal police equipment? ”
"This is true in space, but due to the friction of the atmosphere, the senses of many sharp-toothed locusts are extremely reduced, so stealth equipment can still be mixed under such conditions."
Hearing this, Yang Jingzhong still felt a little emotional, thinking that Director Zhang Shucai could wander around in the sky over country M by sitting on a stealth Yun-40, but in front of the Zerg, with the degree of invisibility of Yun-40, I am afraid that it will be immediately recognized by insects.
Moreover, Yang Jingzhong can guess how the sea shark is arranged, one-third of the landing ships that landed should have no stealth system, these landing ships are bait ships to put it bluntly, just to attract the attention of the claw locusts, so unfortunately, Yang Jingzhong happened to be on a bait boat without stealth equipment, whether this was done by the sea shark on purpose, it is unknown,
As for what the sea shark said that he kept these weapons because he was an ace pilot, this is purely a lie, whether he is an ace pilot or not does not matter for the time being, but Yang Jingzhong believes that the density of the locusts, not to mention that you are an ace pilot, you can't control it with a microbrain.
"So much should be almost enough, I'll let some empty landing ships pick up the skuas, you go to a place with me first." The sea shark looked at his watch and pulled Yang Jingzhong onto the landing ship.
"Where to go? So anxious. Yang Jingzhong sat on the seat and looked at the sea shark curiously.
"Twenty degrees south-west from our side, there's an abandoned city, and there's something amazing my scouts have discovered." The sea shark opened its microbrain, and every grass and tree in a radius of forty kilometers appeared on the holographic map.
"I'll go, why is your microbrain as undisturbed?"
"Don't interrupt! Listen to me! The sea shark kicked Yang Jingzhong angrily and pointed to the outline of the city that gradually appeared outside the window, "I don't see that city, our destination is there." ”
"Did you find the mother?" Looking at the happy look of the sea shark, Yang Jingzhong also guessed something.
"That's right, my scouts found a passage to the underground there." The sea shark removed the rest of the mess and left a model of the passage alone, "They dropped a few mapping equipment down, but unfortunately they couldn't go any further after fifty meters underground." Those who came back reported that a number of bones had been found there, and that if they were right, the hole could lead directly to the mother's nest. ”
"If only the bones are found, it may just be a shelter built by the government back then, and your people haven't found anything special?" Yang Jingzhong frowned, wouldn't it be too wasteful of time if he ran over just for a shelter.
"No way, I've narrowed the position of the mother worm to this point as much as possible, and now it's half an hour before the time we agreed with the marauders, and if we don't do anything, it will be all over when the worms destroy the fleet. If you can find a clue, take advantage of it as much as possible. ”
Yang Jingzhong was silent, although this move was very suspicious of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but it was indeed like what the sea shark said, if he just waited in place, he would not make any progress at all.
"Can you guarantee that there are no ambushes near the mother worm?"
"Don't worry, I have left more than 500 people and four Redtail Bird-class heavy mechs there, even if the bugs are ambushed, as long as they still hold on to a small area, I can expand that area as much as possible."
While the two were talking, the landing ship had arrived over the city.
"Owen, fire flares and contact our people."
A white flare was thrown, but there was no movement underneath, neither bugs nor Marines.
"Strange, what about people?" The shark stuck its head out of the window and looked down carefully, but there was nothing but the ruins as far as the eye could see.
"Forget it, it's useless to look at it here, let's go down." Yang Jingzhong threw the soft ladder and was the first to slide down.
