It should be them, sir, right?

Sam thought to himself that it would be impossible for the bugs to control the ion cannon, so he ordered: "Speed up and distance yourself from the Zerg behind!" ”

"Yes! Sir! ”

The Vulture-loading pilot immediately accelerated, increasing the distance between him and the Zerg, and at that moment, the Ion Turret above spun around and aimed at the swarm of insects following behind the Vulture.

At the same time, Sam also saw the action of the innocent horn through the external surveillance screen on the co-pilot.

"Full speed ahead!" Sam, as a ground force, did not know the range of the ion cannon, but it was always good to run a little farther.

Due to the farther and farther distance between the vultures and the insect swarm, some of the velociraptor beasts that came out of the Wufu in the rear seemed to be affected, and began to turn around and run towards the entrance of the Wufu, and at this moment, suddenly a violent energy fluctuation converged from the ion cannon mouth, followed by a loud "boom", an ion cannon exploded in the insect swarm, and the powerful power directly left a big pit on the sand dune, many Zerg died directly under this cannon, and the huge air flow also lifted the surrounding Zerg away.

The loading vultures were also affected by the aftermath, but fortunately, the loading vultures were backed by the explosion range, coupled with the driver's superb operation, not only did not overturn after being affected by the aftermath, but accelerated again.

At this time, the ion battery had already begun to prepare the second ion cannon.

"Boom-"

The second ion cannon exploded, and there was not much left of the swarm that had already lost most of it, but the ion battery also stopped operating, and there was obviously no intention of preparing the third one.

"Head towards the entrance." Sam calculated the time, maybe Gu Cheng and the others should come out, so he asked the driver to drive the loaded vultures to the entrance of the Wufu, and at the same time said to the machine gunner in the car: "Continue to shoot the swarm behind, and be sure to control the number of swarm before the sir!" ”

"Yes! Sir! ”

Loaded vultures galloped on the dunes with spitting machine gun tongues, although they were attacked by two ion cannons, but the number of insect swarms following the loaded vultures was still in three digits, if Gu Cheng and the others did not control the number within three digits when they came out of the entrance of the Wuyu, then it may be that Gu Cheng and the others would not have a chance to get on the car before the timed ** explosion.

However, fortunately, in the following time, although many Zerg were attracted to the side of Wu Wei, with the unremitting efforts of the machine gunners and the cooperation of three spider mines, the number of Zerg was finally controlled at about sixty or seventy, and at this time, Gu Cheng and the five people also appeared at the entrance of Wu Weihao.

Sam had already commanded the vultures to move at the entrance of the Wuyu, and as soon as he saw Gu Cheng and the others appear, he hurriedly let the driver drive towards them.

Sam shouted, "Machine gunner, fire suppression!" Marauders and Fire Bat Warriors, go down and help them break out! ”

"Yes! Sir! ”

As Sam shouted, he jumped off the slowed vulture, and joined the Fire Bat Warrior to stop the Swift Beast from approaching.

Taking advantage of the period of fire suppression, Gu Cheng and the others boarded the vultures one after another.

Gu Cheng asked Frank: "Frank! How long is it until the explosion? ”

"Sir! Two minutes to go! ”

Gu Cheng hurriedly rushed to the cab: "Soldier! Burn the wind! Get out of the no-nonsense as fast as possible! Do you understand? ”

"Yes! Sir! ”

The plot soldiers have always obeyed the words of officers with higher ranks than themselves, even if Gu Cheng is the chosen one, there will be no objections, not to mention that under Gu Cheng's "hype", Gu Cheng and Mo still have the title of "hero", of course the plot soldiers will spare no effort to complete their orders.

At this time, Sam waited to support them and the plot soldiers also boarded the vultures.

"Sir, did you destroy the hive?" As soon as Sam came up, he asked him what he was most concerned about.

Gu Cheng nodded: "It is estimated that it will be overfulfilled, because there is a high-explosive timer** that is installed on the reserve ** of the arsenal." ”

Sam:...... I'm following a sir.

"But...... Sir, our mission is to clean up the hive inside the Innocence, and you mean to blow up the Innocence together! ”

Gu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and did not comment.

Although the content of the mission is indeed as Sam said, it is only necessary to clean up the hive inside the innocent number, but blowing up the entire arsenal can not only effectively ensure the completion of the task, but also prevent two more thunder beasts from jumping out of it to pursue.

Besides, it didn't do Gu Cheng any good to keep his name, and he didn't bother to use his brains to think of other ways.

Just as the vultures were about a few hundred meters away from the Wuyu, a loud bang suddenly came, and the whole earth shook violently.

Everyone saw through the external surveillance screen loaded with vultures that the Yamato ship Wufu was blown up and broken from the middle, and part of the engine room was blown off and smashed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Cheng received a prompt from the system-

[Successfully blew up the worm hive inside the 1131 Yamato Ship, and completed the hidden class mission 'Ghost Agent's Experience.] As you destroy a hatching Zerg brood, you'll be hunted down by the Zerg for the next 4 hours! If you return to the outpost, base and other areas during this time, it will trigger a general attack of the Zerg! ”

"it!" Gu Cheng's whole person is not good.

This system Nima is poisonous, right?

was chased and killed by the Zerg in the Wuwei number, and he will be hunted down and killed after this comes out! Fortunately, the entire innocent number was blown up, otherwise there would be a lot of Zerg chased out of it!

"This is going to be a battle royale!" Gu Cheng sighed, and said with a wry smile: "In this hour, we can only run in the wilderness, once we get close to a place like an outpost or a base, it will immediately evolve into a big attack by the Zerg!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the driver who loaded the vulture came from the cab: "Report sir! A large number of Zerg have been detected in the north and west! ”

The location of the temporary base of the exploration team is to the south of the Yamato ship, although it is unlikely to return to the temporary base of the exploration team in 3 hours, but from the temporary base of the exploration team to here, there are many outposts along the way, Gu Cheng thought about it, and still ordered: "Retreat to the south!" Be careful to avoid the outposts! ”

Although the Vulture Rider did not understand why he was chased by the Zerg, he did not flee to the outpost to ask for backup, but instead fled in the wilderness...... But he must obey the commander's command, and he said, "Yes!" Sir! ”

Loaded vultures suddenly galloped on the sand dunes, followed by a large area of Zerg under the pressure of the black, and as time went by, more and more Zerg appeared in the pursuit team behind, and the scene was ten times more than the number of Zerg that Sam had kited near the Innocent before! And in addition to the basic ground units such as Velociferon and Stinging Snake, there are also juvenile thunderbeasts, flying insects and wyverns that appear over time.

Fortunately, loading vultures is the fastest of the Terran ground units, and although it won't completely shake off these zergs, it can at least pull away a certain distance.

In this way, Gu Cheng and his party evaded the outposts while escaping from the pursuit of the Zerg, but the outposts built by the temporary base of the exploration team were arranged according to a strict monitoring range, and Gu Cheng and the others wanted to stay away from these outposts, although they were evacuating towards the south, but they were getting farther and farther away from the temporary base of the exploration team.

But now Gu Cheng doesn't care about whether he can return to the temporary base of the exploration team smoothly, and he just wants to thank God for not being flooded by the sea of insects in these 3 hours!

3 hours is not a long time, but it can be said that seconds are like years for people who are fleeing for their lives, at least Gu Cheng and his party think so.

And Gu Cheng "watched" that his group was getting farther and farther away from the temporary base of the exploration team and there was nothing he could do, if not, then they would face a big attack from the Zerg, which was much more dangerous than a 3-hour escape game, if a careless defense of the city failed, it would be a direct announcement of the death of the main mission, so Gu Cheng did not dare to take this risk, and could only command the troops to stay away from all outposts and the temporary base of the exploration team.

Finally, the 3-hour chase time was over, and Gu Cheng and his party only experienced a few Zerg interception battles without danger, but they all spent a thrilling time with the superior mobility of loading vultures.

"Perhaps, we should study where we are now." After getting rid of the 3-hour pursuit time, Gu Cheng was most concerned about where they were now and how far away they were from the temporary base of the exploration team.

Hearing his words, the soldier on the co-pilot of the vulture immediately zoomed in on the locator, looked at the locator and reported to Gu Cheng: "Sir, we are now located in the southeast of the temporary base of the exploration team, about 330 kilometers or so. ”

Gu Cheng asked, "Is there a place like a sentry station near here?" ”

The co-pilot soldier replied: "Sir, the temporary base of the exploration team has not yet sent a team in this direction, according to the regional division map, some distance further is the area of responsibility of the first temporary base, and there may be an outpost of the first temporary base." ”

Gu Cheng thought that the most important thing now was to find a place to rest for a while, and then think about returning to the temporary base of the exploration team to complete the mission, so he asked, "Is there a way to confirm the location of the temporary outpost?" ”

"Yes, please wait!" The co-pilot soldier operated on the locator for a while, and after a change in the picture above, he said: "I found it, the nearest outpost to us is X331 outpost, about 60 kilometers to the southeast." ”

"Okay, let's go there and rest for a while." Gu Cheng ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

The vultures loaded and drove all the way according to the location of the X331 outpost displayed on the locator, and when they arrived at the X331 outpost, Gu Cheng and his party were greatly disappointed. Since this is no longer an outpost, half of the walls and watchtowers have collapsed, most of the buildings have been corroded by highly toxic acid, and the command post and supply station have been burned black, it would be more appropriate to say that X331 outpost is a ruin.

In addition, there are many swift beasts inhabiting the ruins.

Gu Cheng saw that the number of velociraptors was not large, so he and Sam led the team down to solve those velociraptors, and then the group took a break in the ruins of the X331 outpost, and explored some of this outpost by the way.

Gu Cheng was searching in the dilapidated command center when Frank suddenly ran over: "Report to the sir!" When I was searching for Supply Station 2, I found out that X331 Temporary Outpost was sending a message to the First Temporary Base, this outpost was attacked by the Zerg three days ago, and after the outpost was lost, the person in charge here, Lieutenant Vic, retreated with his soldiers, but because there were no less than 3 hives in the distance between X331 and the First Temporary Base, they chose to take a detour. However, according to the information on the return of the First Temporary Base, Lieutenant Vic and his party have not returned to the First Temporary Base until today. ”

"Oh?" Gu Cheng and Gu Cheng glanced at each other, and were about to ask about the distance between the X331 outpost and the first temporary base, when suddenly Gu Cheng and Mo received a prompt from the system at the same time.

[Trigger the side quest "Rescue Operation", lead the team to find the whereabouts of Lieutenant Vic and his party, limited to 3 days, and reward for completing the mission: 300 lifespan, random silver-level treasure chest x1.] Mission Failure Penalty: None. ”

When Gu Cheng and Mo received the side quest "Rescue Operation" at the same time, the system interface of the mechanical battle armor showed a countdown time of 71 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, which was obviously a limit to the time to find Lieutenant Vic and his party.

"After a short break, we'll head to the coordinate point." Gu Cheng said to Frank and the others.

"Yes, sir."

A few hours later, Gu Cheng and his party set out to find Lieutenant Vic.

Along the way, Gu Cheng and the others found a lot of traces of battle, and in terms of tracing people, Mo and Sam were more adept, so the mechanical fragments found along the way, the remains of the Zerg, etc., Mo and Sam would go down to investigate.

Sam inspected several of the destroyed loading vultures and said to Gu Cheng, "They also encountered several attacks after evacuating the X331 outpost, and the attacks were launched so suddenly and so quickly that the supplies on these loading vehicles were not taken away, and even several seriously injured companions trapped in the loading vehicles were forced to abandon them. ”

Gu Cheng nodded and asked Frank, "How far is it from 1625,5512 here?" ”

Frank looked at the locator: "Sir, there are still 18 kilometers left." ”

Gu Cheng said: "It seems that this is not the strongest attack they have encountered. ”

When they arrived at the designated coordinate point, Gu Cheng and his party found that the battle situation here was even more tragic. A large number of loading tools removed from the X331 outpost were destroyed here, including four loaded vultures, two siege tanks, and one mech.

This is already an incredible combat power for an outpost.

However, it was all ruined here.

Gu Cheng looked at these mechanical wreckage and said to everyone: "This is the location where Lieutenant Vic sent the last distress signal, everyone scattered to search to see if they could find the information that Lieutenant Vic had escaped." ”

"Yes! Sir! ”

Except for the driver who loaded the vultures, the rest of the soldiers were immediately ordered to look around and search. Mo and Sam also followed, both of them are good at tracking, especially Mo, Gu Cheng didn't know it at first, but when Mo made a move, he and Sam were surprised to find that Mo's tracking ability was much higher than that of the professional warrior Sam.

After searching around, Mo pointed in one direction and said, "Although there are no footprints left on the sand dunes, we can tell from the direction left by the remains of the Zerg that they should have evacuated in this direction." There are also some traces left here......"

Gu Cheng looked around, nodded and approved Mo's judgment: "You should be able to track the direction of their retreat, right?" So let's catch up and see. ”

Mo nodded: "No problem." ”

The group traced the location Mo's point for some distance, gradually moving from the dunes to the rocky and arid land. Cracks opened in the ground, like veins and veins, covering the earth like spider webs. But at least there is no need to worry about the Zerg hiding under the dry land here, because these "blood vessels" are naturally formed, and once there is a Zerg going to the ground, it will be damaged, so the Zerg going down here is undoubtedly "there is no silver three hundred taels here", and they directly exposed themselves.

After walking a long distance, the surrounding small pieces of volcanic rock gradually became larger, and later, almost a dozen meters high rocks formed a sometimes spacious, sometimes narrow passage, and even in some places there will be "forks".

Fortunately, Mo and Gu Cheng's tracking ability is not bad, and they can find the whereabouts of Lieutenant Vic and his party retreating according to the clues around them.

The group followed the trails left behind and chased them eastward, thanks to the fact that there were no sandstorms in the past few days, and there were many rocks around it, otherwise it would have been quite difficult to track. Finally getting out of the rocky area, Mo looked at the messy land in front of him and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Gu Cheng asked.

Mo pointed to the messy ground in front of him and said, "Zerg." ”

Gu Cheng didn't quite understand what Mo meant, and was about to ask more carefully, Sam first opened his mouth to explain: "Sir, look at the various marks here, these should all be left by the Zerg. But in terms of direction, from three different directions, only a small part came from our direction. In other words, the Zerg outflanked the rocky area as soon as they entered it, until they began to converge again. Judging from the traces left behind, it is very likely that the Zerg sent a lot of bugs, and maybe even an army! ”

Gu Cheng smiled: "When I took the mission, I knew that the difficulty of this mission would never be lower than the defensive battle of the outpost. ”

Sam was a little worried: "But that's the outpost as a backing, and here, we're directly exposed to the Zerg." ”

Gu Cheng nodded in agreement: "According to the principle that the infinite world will not give a mortal task, I have always believed that as long as it is a task, there must be a solution, so this side quest must be very difficult for us, but there must be some key clues that we have not yet discovered, and this clue is the key to whether we can complete the task!" ”

Mo thought about Gu Cheng's words, and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and continued to move forward.

The troops had only walked less than 500 meters, and Sam walked to the sand at the junction of the dry land and the dunes, where there was a distinct, bulging, and different color from the other sand surfaces, he picked up the sand and looked at it, and after a few strokes, revealing the remains of a corpse wearing mechanical armor: "Sir, this is the soldier who was eaten by the Zerg, the mechanical armor has the number of the first temporary base on it, it should be the person from the X331 outpost." ”

Gu Cheng nodded: "That proves that the direction we are tracking is correct." ”
