Volume 3 Over the Moon (13)
The opponent also has powerful ranged weapons!
The people brought by Nangong Qian and Will are certainly elites, but after all, there are not many people, and after their own weapon superiority is wiped out, they can't actually withstand the impact of crowd tactics.
What's more, the opponent's weapons may be far more advanced than theirs, at least until now, the alliance has not developed a small lethal weapon that can directly destroy mechs.
After surveying the battlefield, Will and Nangong Qian were in a dilemma.
Just as the two fell silent because of their discovery, a fierce burst of gunfire broke out at the sentry arranged dozens of meters away.
Nangong Qian looked at the dark place where various energy beams were flashing frequently, and raised her terminal:
"What's going on?"
"Miss, there's an attack ahead! A sentry has been attacked by xenos hiding in a crevice in the rocks, and now we're fighting them! ”
Hearing that her subordinates had fallen into a war situation with the other party, Nangong Qian set her eyes on Will.
Will immediately got up:
"Let's go, let's go ahead and have a look!"
At the point of the exchange of fire between the two sides, several high-powered electrical lighting equipment illuminated the opposite side as if it were daylight, and the last few white creatures with pointed ears used the various rock crevices and rock pillars in the cave to flexibly dodge the energy beams that shot at them.
"Go up!"
The person in charge of the team leader saw Nangong Qian coming, and his face was a little unbearable, as the combat elite of the Nangong family, he was attacked by a sneak attack, and he was still indecisive for a long time under the watchful eye of the eldest lady.
"Sudden ......"
A few ** were launched into the crevices where the xenos were hiding, and soon after, the mountains were shaken.
"Boom! Boom Boom! ”
The xenos were tossed out by a wave of scorching air, and then grilled into skewers by the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time.
Will stepped forward and looked at the attacker, and the tentacles were cold. These are supposed to be amphibians, with smooth skin, eyes protected by a transparent eyelid, and tiny suckers between their hands and feet, all of which tell the story of how long they have lived on land.
Nangong Qian flicked the corpse on the ground with her foot:
"Are these the culprits behind the extermination of the Sandfolk Exploration Group? It doesn't look good! ”
"It's hard to say that they never used a weapon in the first place, which is not in line with what we have seen before. By the way, what happened to the sentry who was attacked? ”
Nangong Qian shook her head regretfully:
"Dead, divided into many pieces by those xenomorphs......"
"Really......"
This is another puzzling place, as it seems that these xenos are far from being organized to attack the sandmen, not only rashly attacking them, but also trying to eat the attacking creatures on the spot.
"Let's move on!"
After cleaning up the battlefield, the group embarked on the journey again.
This time, the pioneers were more cautious, but they found a lot of xenos hiding in the shadows along the way. Eventually, of course, those things turned into cold corpses.
Suddenly, Will, who was walking in the line, stopped his steps.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything? ”
Nangong Qian ordered her own people to strengthen their vigilance because of Will's abnormality.
Will looked into the distance of the deep cavern, he could feel the turbulent waves somewhere, Will pulled out the war knife he was carrying, and said softly:
"It's Dark......"
The meaning of this sentence made everyone nervous.
Nangong Qian looked at her terminal and sighed:
"yes, it's already dark!"
The ground began to shake, and it was the sound of thousands of horses galloping.
"Defend in place!"
The leader of the squad shouted a loud reminder to his combatants, and ordered the two ramblers who descended to the cave to step forward.
The first enemies appeared, and as they expected, they were the same humanoids with pointy ears.
The personnel who had already taken a defensive stance did not hesitate to shoot.
In the face of the rain of bullets scattered in the sky, the xenos suddenly opened a blue semicircle in the middle of the team to protect the xenos inside. The burst of energy beams slammed into the shield and was completely wiped out.
"Plasma Shield!"
Will called out in surprise.
He was sure that he was not mistaken, the other party was using the black technology that the alliance had unearthed from the ruins. Plasma shield generation relies on powerful ionizers to consume a lot of energy, and to generate plasma layers for their own surfaces to neutralize the opponent's energy weapons, since only large power furnaces can meet the operation of plasma generators, this technology is generally used by the alliance to protect expensive space warships.
However, the other party has obviously used the miniaturization of the generator to protect the safety of the ground troops, and based on this alone, Will judged that the opponent's technology level is far above the alliance!
Damn bastards!
Will remembered the sneer on the Sandman's lips as he left.
The fierce collision between the energies lasted for more than ten seconds, and except for the Edifier infantry armor with a condensation system on the body of the gun, the rest of the weapons on the human side basically had to stop spraying flames due to overheating.
Will, who had been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, noticed that the shield of the xenomorph side had been distorted, and immediately shouted:
"Dodge! The other side is about to attack! ”
As soon as Will's words fell, the opponent's plasma shield also dissipated, and several black balls were thrown into the newly established defensive position.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Bright lights rose from the position, and scorching waves of air rolled from the center of the explosion in all directions.
Although the people who were reminded by Will relied on various obstacles to avoid the first round of ** shelling, they did not let them rejoice that they were intact, and another round of ** was thrown.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The continuous fire support pressed Will, and they did not dare to get up. Looking at the rambler in charge of fire support on our side, he has been beaten into scrap metal by several harpoons of the other side.
"We have to put it up so that they can't suppress us anymore."
In the midst of the violent explosion, Will also shouted at the top of his voice.
The opponent is much stronger than us in terms of the number of personnel and the quality of equipment, and if the opponent comes to gather fire for a few more rounds, they will definitely have to rest here, and sticking it so that the opponent's firepower advantage cannot be fully exerted is the only breakthrough. Overall, although the number of human troops coming down this time is small, the individual strength is much higher than the average of these xenomorphs.
The others also knew that this was the only way to break the game, and they all jumped up with a roar, and the spirit clothes on their bodies emitted all kinds of brilliance, protecting them from rushing into the enemy line.
A fierce battle ensued between the two sides on that wide road.
Finding that their opponents are not weak chickens like the Sandmen, the xenos also begin to kill them, and no longer aim to capture them alive.
"Go inside!"
Will tried to get as close as possible to Nangong Qian.
If two people enter the magic eye at the same time, and only one goes out alone, I don't know what kind of monstrous waves will be set off in the alliance. So at this time, he must ensure Nangong Qian's safety.
The two of them relied on each other to rush back and forth in the xenomorph group, and before they knew it, they had been separated from the xenomorph and the large army.
By the time the two realized that something was wrong, they were already surrounded by a heavy siege.
A scorching flame appeared out of thin air, dissolving the entire xenomorph formation into a passageway.
At the end of the passage, Hou Ping beckoned to them:
"This way, this way!"
Although they didn't know where Hou Ping was going to take them, the desperate Will and Nangong Qian could only follow.
"That's a dead old man! Where is this xenogeneous? It's clearly a race! ”
Nangong Qian, who followed Hou Ping** to hide in the west, stomped her foot fiercely when she found that there were no more xenos around, she suffered heavy losses in this operation, not only lost all her subordinates, but also let herself fall deep into the depths of the unknown xenomorph lair. If you can go back safely this time, you must peel him and cramp!
"Where are we? What are we going to do? ”
No maps, no intelligence, and trapped in a xeno's lair! Will lost his opinion for a while, and turned his gaze to Hou Ping.
"I don't know, don't ask me"
Seeing Hou Pingfeng say these words lightly, Will almost exploded on the spot. Your sister! I don't know the way, and you still take us around?
Hou Ping probably guessed what Will was thinking, after all, the expression on his face said it all, Hou Ping rolled his eyes and said:
"Anyway, at least we're not caught yet, are we?"
Will was momentarily speechless.
Nangong Qian saw that Will's face was not good-looking, and hurriedly came out of the round:
"Stop arguing, everyone! Isn't the most important thing now to figure out how to get out? ”
Nangong Qian's words made Will immediately calm down, and he drove his brain power at full speed to think about what else he was missing.
"There it is!"
Will had a flash of inspiration and took out the contact device that the little gnome had left for them.
"That's right! How I didn't expect that! ”
Nangong Qian also understood at a glance, isn't this the home of those friends?
After the communication signal was broadcast, several people nervously awaited the verdict of fate. If those little gnomes don't help them, it will be difficult for them to return to the surface safely when they are trapped in the xenomorph legion.
To Will's relief, the dwarf was very trustworthy and almost immediately agreed to help them.
Ten minutes later, a dwarf hurried in with several sets of protective suits, looked at them a few times, and then threw the clothes on the ground:
"You're the one who turned the base upside down today? Hurry up and change your clothes! The big man is aggrieved and enters the container."
Then, out of nowhere, he found a robot with a box on his back and loaded Will into it.
"Don't be silent! Follow me! ”
"What are you doing! Today we have another harvest, and the grand festival is about to begin! You cowards, you grind every time, I really don't understand why you are qualified to participate too! ”
Before they could take a step, an unusually strong xenomorph pushed the dwarf away and walked away swearing.
