"Are you sure this is the place?" Skua lifted his mask and squatted in front of the hole, looking at the two of them with puzzled eyes.

Yang Jingzhong didn't answer, just wiped the cave wall with his fingers, and his fingers, which were originally covered red by armor, were immediately stained with something like white dust, but it was obvious that it was not wall ash, because if you looked closely, these white dusts were actually very small worm-like creatures.

"Seeing that this thing doesn't, the worm of the fine thread, the marker of the mother worm, it can be understood as a fungus stand, but this thing is more powerful than the fungus stand, it can burrow into all the crevices and silently kill well-guarded soldiers, but it's nothing." Yang Jingzhong borrowed a small flamethrower, a ball of flames erupted, tongues of fire raged on the fingers stained with worms, and the worms were instantly burned into a pile of ashes, "This thing moves very slowly, as long as it is found in time, it can burn them to death with fire." ”

Yang Jingzhong shook his fingers, shook off all the dust, and his fingers returned to their normal red.

"Owen, call two red-tailed birds over and shoot Molotov cocktails down."

When Yang Jingzhong explained to the skuas, the sea shark asked Owen to adjust two mecha in advance, and as soon as Yang Jingzhong finished speaking, the red-tailed bird fired two high-explosive rockets equipped with time-delay fuses.

The melodious echo of the rocket in the hole was estimated to be at least a hundred meters deep, and the echoes of various stumbles indicated that the passage below the hole was not straight.

"Boom!"

Blazing flames erupted from the entrance of the cave, almost burning through the ceiling of the first floor, and the walls of the passage below the cave were even more red, and the power was comparable to that of a miniature volcano. At this level of power, the worms that adhered to the walls were incinerated without question.

"Let's go, let's go down."

The sea shark didn't talk much nonsense, and before the heat in the pipe dissipated, he threw a rope and jumped first.

"This guy is too anxious, isn't he?" Skua said in astonishment.

"No, if we fail here, his five provincial fleets will all be in vain." Yang Jingzhong shook his head helplessly, "You can help us defend the ruins on it, I always think that the insects will attack this place in a big way, don't look at the strength of nearly a division here, in fact, after dispersing, you may find that the defensive force is not enough at all." ”

Yang Jingzhong looked at Owen who was standing on the side and staring at the entrance of the cave: "Colonel Owen, please help the skuas, as the commander of the Marine Corps, you should have some experience in city defense, right?" ”

"Understood." Owen put away the gun, he originally wanted to go down with the sea shark, but now that he heard Yang Jingzhong say this, he thought about it a little and agreed.

"Okay, then I'll go down first, and I'll leave it to you." Yang Jingzhong also jumped down the rope thrown by the sea shark, followed by more than a hundred Marine Corps soldiers.

I don't know if I don't go down, but I scared Yang Jingzhong when I went down, this hole is built like the trajectory of a snake crawling, where is it just bent so simple. The thick foundation laid during the construction of the tall building was easily dug up by these ants, and the entire passage was spiral, zigzag, and elongated, coupled with the surrounding high temperature, all the water hidden in the stone evaporated and condensed on the mask of the individual armor.

Fortunately, the temperature regulation equipment of the individual armor could still operate normally, and the surrounding high temperature had no effect on Yang Jingzhong.

He finally slipped down, and a tentacle-like thing on his back slapped heavily on his shoulder.

"! What the hell? Yang Jingzhong's whole person was frightened, and he involuntarily jumped forward.

"Is it necessary to look at your timid appearance?" The voice of the sea shark came from behind him.

"My brother, don't be scary, okay? This place is a nest for female insects, and I thought it was ants attacking me or something. Yang Jingzhong sighed heavily, cold sweat dripping on his head, but he couldn't open the mask to wipe the sweat away.

"Cut, return the ants, if it's an ant, it's not just as simple as patting you on the shoulder, just split you into two pieces with acid and claws." The sea shark gave him a blank look, "Speaking of which, I just took a look, and our current location seems to be just a small room, there are three rooms connected here, and there are countless passages behind it, like a maze, I don't have a clue how to find the female worm." ”

"Haven't you fought the Spirit Eater before? How did you find the mother worm at that time? ”

"Find? I didn't look for it.,I gathered troops to fight the Spirit Eater Star after the first year was almost over.,Relying on our own words of the New Alliance itself, we can use any number of troops.,I remember that at that time, we mobilized ten provincial fleets.,Directly plow the entire Spirit Eater Star with naval guns.,And use it to find it slowly like now? ”

"Okay, you're awesome." Yang Jingzhong was speechless when he heard this, what can you do if you are a rich tyrant.

"So what to do now, do you have a clue?" The sea shark leaned against the wall and snorted wearily.

"There's no way, insects don't look like people, would they put a sign at every intersection to tell where this leads?" Yang Jingzhong spread his hands, looking for the mother worm is purely a matter of luck, whether it is a human or Evano, there is no specific and clear way to find the mother worm.

"What then? Are you waiting or are you going around with chickens? "Do you believe that ants can set traps to screw off our heads one by one if we wander aimlessly around the mother's nest?" ”

"Of course I know," Yang Jingzhong wanted to grab his hair, but as soon as his hand touched his head, he was blocked by a round helmet, "Otherwise, let's go find some relatively large passages and rooms, generally such places are passages where ants walk more and transport things." ”

"Cut, I thought it was a good way, what's the difference between your method and a blind chicken." Fortunately, the sea shark didn't drink water at this time, otherwise it would have been sprayed all on Yang Jingzhong's face.

"Then what do you think is the best way?" Yang Jingzhong unconsciously raised his voice, and finally came to this point, but because of this little difficulty, he was difficult again.

"Nope! Just do as you say! The sea shark is not a good temper, and directly yelled at Yang Jingzhong in a louder voice.

"Let's go, you fierce hammer!"

When the two of them were at a loss, the ground had already entered a tense time for arming.

"There should be a little more troops to the west, and I think at least one mech and fifty soldiers should be added to that building." Owen built all the city defense maps with stones and sand, he didn't have as advanced a microbrain as the sea shark, and could only use everything around him to build a simple tactical map, of course, his simple map was much better than that of the skua, and it was a compulsory course for all army or marine officers to build a set of the most basic tactical maps in a harsh environment.

"Wouldn't it be too risky to put so many soldiers and heavy weapons in one building, and if the Sharptooth Locusts launched a suicide attack and destroyed the entire building, wouldn't all these soldiers die in an instant?" The thief gull pinched his chin, it really made him a little distressed by the defensive task given to him by Yang Jingzhong, he was good at sports warfare and not defensive positional warfare, so it was not embarrassing for him to defend the city.

Fortunately, Yang Jingzhong also left him a colonel who understands land warfare, don't think that the colonel in the game is just a military cadet studying in school in reality, these military ranks are all accumulated by themselves little by little in the game, which is very close to the accumulation of actual combat, and when they get out of the military academy, these people all have the ability to be senior commanders, up to tens of thousands of people, down to dozens or hundreds of people.

"That's fine, these soldiers are equipped with an air defense group on each floor, a fire team, and red-tailed anti-aircraft machine guns to defend against small groups of locusts. It would be great if they could attract the attention of a large number of sharp-toothed locusts, as they would have enough to drink a pot just by hitting this building, and would greatly reduce the air pressure on the ground forces. Owen patiently explained.

"Okay, then do as you say, but you have to give me jurisdiction over all the Black Cat-class armored vehicles."

"Well, what are you going to do with these armored vehicles?" Owen was stunned for a moment, the black cat is fine in the field, and it can give full play to its mobility advantage to avoid the attack of spiders, but this is urban warfare, how can armored vehicles play their mobile advantages in places full of ruins.

"Get out!" The skua grabbed the stone representing the Black Cat-class armored vehicle and slammed it down on the outermost line of defense of the city.

"Drive out? But there are so many bugs, even if it's an armored vehicle, it can't withstand it. Owen frowned, he had intended to put these Black Cat armored vehicles on the street as a fixed point of fire.

"Don't worry, I won't fight with them, armored vehicles are equivalent to ancient cavalry, of course, the role of cavalry is to go out to harass, it's better to attack the enemy's back, just stay in the city, won't you become an archer on horseback?" The skua smiled mysteriously and winked at Owen.

"But if you run into a sharp-toothed locust, won't the armored car be given for nothing?" Owen is still not at ease, this is dozens of armored vehicles, dozens of destroyer main gun-level firepower, can't just let you take it away without knowing it.

"Don't worry, do you think the relative velocity between the Sharptooth Locust and the armored vehicle will be faster than the relative velocity between the destroyer and the Shock Worm?" Skua stood up from the tactical sand chart, "I'll go and set up the armored vehicles first, and I'll leave the rest of the defense tasks to you." ”

"Hey, you ......" Owen just wanted to call out to the skua, but he had already galloped away, leaving him standing alone in front of Shatu, "These guys, they haven't learned anything else, but they learn to play ball very quickly." ”

Owen shook his head with a wry smile, and just wanted to take a closer look at what else was lacking in defense, the ground began to shake slightly, the lime on the ceiling kept falling, and the stones used to represent the hillside on the tactical sand chart rolled down one after another.

Owen's eyes looked into the distance, where the dust had obscured the light of the stars and swept over the sky.

"Is it finally here?"
