"Colonel, the southern defense line has been breached, and it is roughly estimated that there are more than 3,000 spiders and five electromagnetic beetles rushing in, and the garrison is almost completely annihilated."

In an ordinary bungalow in the center of the city, Colonel Owen frowned, and put five long red squares representing electromagnetic beetles and three black squares about one centimeter long, representing thousands of spiders, into the area representing the south of the city on the tactical sand map.

The breaking of this defensive line alone means that thousands of soldiers have been sacrificed, and the battle loss rate has reached 14 percent of the total number of troops. At this time, Owen only had a battalion of 500 troops in his hands, and letting this person fill the huge gap on the southern front was tantamount to taking the cap of a vitamin C medicine bottle to plug a beer keg. As Yang Jingzhong said, Owen now feels that his forces are stretched.

The only thing that can be called good news is that the foundation of the city is very solid, even the insects who are good at digging cannot dig through the foundation in a short time, as for whether there will be ants in the city, Owen is not worried, as the personal guard of the mother worm, the number of ants is not much, at this time the sea shark and Yang Jingzhong have already gone down to the cave, presumably the ants have all gone to deal with the chaos in the nest. Of course, it would be better if the ants were willing to come out, anyway, they were defending on it just to delay time, to cover the sea shark and they found the mother worm, at this time, if the ants came out to attack the troops on the ground regardless of priority, the strength of the zerg defenders in the nest would be greatly weakened, which would be more beneficial to the sea shark.

As a last resort, Owen could only let all the garrisons on the outer defense line of the city retreat to the second line of defense, shrink the defensive area, and relieve the pressure on the defense.

Unlike the first line of defense, the second line of defense is equipped with a small number of fire-breathing devices, which can interfere with the attack of spiders and sharp-toothed locusts to a certain extent, and the second line of defense does not rely on hastily built walls, but relies on various high-rise buildings, which can form a cross-fire web against the spider swarms pouring into the streets.

"Any news of skuas?" Owen raised his eyes and looked at the people around him, that guy had not heard from him since he took away all the Black Cat-class armored vehicles, and he saw that the first line of defense had been breached, but the armored car cluster had not even seen a shadow.

"There are no commanders, but I haven't seen the flames of the explosion of the armored vehicles, I think they are still alive."

"Now that they're alive, when are they going to do it?" Owen tightly pinched the dark green square representing the black cat armored car in his hand, this is the firepower of the main gun of thirty destroyers, without these thirty armored vehicles, the pressure will be very high if the city is defended by marine soldiers and large super soldier Chiwei Bird.

"Colonel, I think you should come out and take a look at this."

A lower-ranking officer rushed into the headquarters in a frenzy, and Owen pocketed the cube and followed him out of the headquarters.

"Look at the heavens."

Owen looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a huge silhouette in the sky burst out of the fire, and after more than ten seconds, a strong ray of light comparable to sunlight erupted from the tail of the battleship, and then a huge explosion occurred in the entire battleship, and the gas stored in the battleship suddenly burst out, blowing the battleship into countless pieces. The shock wave formed by the explosion brought the wreckage of the battleship into the planet's atmosphere, and under the friction generated by the atmosphere, the fragments of the battleship were burned one after another, and in the process of incineration, countless fragments fell at high speed, as if a huge meteor shower had fallen.

"There was a battleship that was destroyed." Owen roughly counted the number of warships that were still resisting, and shook his head uncontrollably, there were not many battleships left, and almost every one of them was scarred, and there were fires in many parts He lowered his head and rubbed his sore neck, "I don't know how long the space fleet can hold on, if the fleet is completely destroyed, our troops on the ground will collapse in an instant." It's a shame to lose because you've been looking for the mother worm for too long. All hope was pinned on them. ”

Ground floor......

"Why don't you touch Lao Tzu, it's scary to touch everywhere where you can't see your fingers!" Yang Jingzhong was peeking at the ant around the corner with a gun, and the cold sea shark suddenly patted him on the shoulder, almost scaring him out of this place, and it was not good to make too loud noises, so he could only lower his voice as much as possible to shorten the sentence, but he basically scolded what he should scold.

"Why have you become so timid now, didn't you have a lot of courage when I saw you holding the Mish protozoa?" The sea shark has a good temper, and immediately made up for him angrily.

"Damn, there's no life in holding that thing...... Forget it, I won't quarrel with you, it's important to observe the enemy situation now. Yang Jingzhong was so angry that his teeth were itching, but at this time, for the sake of the overall situation, he still had to endure first.

"And what's going on now?"

"See the road ahead? I looked at it for a long time, and I was almost certain that it was the main road of the nest, and it went straight to the mother's room. Yang Jingzhong pointed to the passage about two hundred meters ahead, which was one of the few places in the lair where there was a glimmer of light.

"Oh? How so? The sea shark bent down and asked curiously.

"The Evano people have a source that once had a task force to find the nest of the female, and they found that the eggs only appeared in two places: the hatchery room and the mother's room, you see the ant." Yang Jingzhong pressed the sea shark's shoulder and asked him to look in the right direction.

A team of ants looks like dozens of them, each holding an oval egg in their hands, which should be transferred to the hatchery room for centralized incubation.

"And what happened to that task force?"

"One of them came back alive, and the rest became the delicacy in the mother's stomach." Yang Jingzhong replied subconsciously, but then turned his senses, "Wait, you guy is very strange, is this time to ask about this kind of thing?" I really don't understand how you got the rank of marshal. ”

"Cut, it's not just military commanders who can promote military ranks, your idea is too one-sided, right?" The sea shark glanced at Yang Jingzhong, "What are you going to do now?" ”

"We certainly can't rush to the main road, it will only become a live target for ants. So we had to follow the road behind us and slowly grope our way to the position of the mother worm. Yang Jingzhong didn't look back, only pointed to the path behind him with his thumb.

"But how can you be sure we're on the right track?"

"It's not like this trail doesn't lead to the main road, as long as we make sure it's not far from the main road, there is still hope of finding the mother worm." Yang Jingzhong pinched his chin and thought about it carefully, "Damn, how do you feel that I have seen this bridge section somewhere, isn't this a copy of the mission I performed on the rebel flagship, no, this style of play is really uncomfortable, I have to improve my strength quickly, and I don't have to try my best to decapitate in the future." ”

"What are you muttering to yourself? I'm almost ready to go! ”

As soon as Yang Jingzhong turned around, he saw that the sea shark had already led people out of a distance, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Be careful, don't run around, you're not familiar with this place, and it would be bad if you bumped into ants."

"You can pull it down, make it look like you know each other very well, whether it's you or not, I'm not running around?" The sea shark couldn't help but pout.

"Heh, at least I know where the ants will set up an ambush, and what if you run around and step on a trap to attract ants?" Yang Jingzhong said that while he still knew a little bit about what traps some bugs would set, he wouldn't make the kind of low-level mistake on the rebel flagship.

However, the sea shark didn't want to wait for him to finish speaking, and walked straight on his own.

"Wait, you stand first." Yang Jingzhong grabbed the sea shark.

"What? I'm in a hurry right now, if my fleet is really wiped out, you can help me make up for the loss! The sea shark turned its head and cursed.

Yang Jingzhong didn't speak, just took out a knife and carefully slashed it about twenty centimeters in front of the sea shark's neck.

"What's that?" The sea shark looked curiously at Yang Jingzhong's left hand that caught something.

Yang Jingzhong's hand that was grasped into a fist spread out, and a silk thread floated on the palm of his hand: "There must be a reason for you to stop, many relatively infrequently used paths in the nest have traps left by this kind of spider, if you accidentally walk up, you may be cut out of the wound or even directly into two sections unconsciously, in this kind of place where the microbrain cannot be used normally, and you can't use ultraviolet lights, you can only rely on yourself to be careful." ”

"Then how did you know I had a thread trap ahead of me?" The sea shark's face was obviously not very good, and it seemed that it was frightened.

"If you look closely at some parts of the thread, you can see some dust sticking to it. Moreover, "Yang Jingzhong didn't want to explain anything more, so he directly demonstrated it to them in person."

He was pressed against the wall, his eyes fixed on the direction he was going, and if he looked closely, there was a net that could still be seen on the wall in front of him: "Everyone walks like me in the back, and the traps against the wall can be seen in general, and we have to knock on the wall to determine if there is a vacant room behind the wall." ”

He turned the knife on the back of the knife and struck the wall with the back of the knife, and there was a muffled sound on the wall, which showed that the wall was solid and had not been hollowed out by the ants.

"Have you seen it all, follow his way." The sea shark whispered orders to the soldiers around them.
