Chapter 164: Fight the Tunnel Worm Again
"You ......" Several reinforcement warriors were choked with anger.
"The poison of the giant beetle is incurable, and the longer it drags on, the more painful it becomes, so don't blame him, he is kind." Another veteran next to him explained.
"This ......" Ken and the others looked at each other, they finally understood why the human casualties on the Alpha Star battlefield were so high, if they were injured by insects, they would definitely die, so how could the human casualties be low in the face of such a large number of insect swarms?
"That's it! If you have time to be surprised, you might as well kill a little more bugs! The veteran said without looking back, his electromagnetic rifle had changed its magazine several times, and now the body of the gun was hot.
"Hmm!" Ken and the others nodded, they are now beginning to admire these ordinary marines, these people are just ordinary people, and their weapons are only an electromagnetic rifle and a few energy grenades, but with these simple weapons, they have been fighting the Zerg on the Alpha Star for several months, which has to make people admire their courage and perseverance!
As the battle continued, the casualties of the human soldiers had exceeded hundreds, and even the fortified human warriors had sacrificed two, but the swarm on the opposite side still seemed to have no end, they poured out of the cave left by the tunnel worms, and then frantically pounced on the human soldiers.
"Smack!" With a bang, the electromagnetic rifle in the hand of a human soldier exploded, and the ultra-high use intensity caused the barrel of the electromagnetic rifle to overheat, which eventually led to the explosion.
"Ahh After losing his weapon, the Marine quickly fell under the Zerg's blade arm.
"Isn't it done yet?" Ken asked aloud.
"Right now!" The men of the engineering battalion shouted that by this time the fortress was almost complete, and only a few details were left before it could be put into use.
……
"First Squad! Enter the bunker! At the command of the Marine Corps commander, ten Marines immediately entered the bunker.
The two Gauss defensive cannons above the Sudden ...... bunker opened fire, and these weapons were so powerful that they immediately swept away the swarm in front of them as soon as they entered the battle.
"Toggle high-explosive shells!"
"Yes!"
With an order from the commander, the Gauss defensive artillery switched shells.
"Target wormhole! Fire! The commander yelled loudly.
"Bang! Boom! "Two Gauss defensive guns fired at the same time.
"Boom! Rumble! "Two shells hit the wormhole at the same time, and it caused a violent explosion, both the swarm that had just broken out of the burrow, and the burrow. The bugs that didn't have time to come out were all reduced to ashes in the explosion.
The "Boom ......" shockwave swept in, affecting both the human soldiers and the fortified human warriors.
However, the shockwave only caused some abrasions to the human warriors, which was harmless, and most importantly, it destroyed the burrows left behind by the pit worms.
"Lay out a high-voltage power grid!" The engineers of the engineering battalion immediately began to build a high-voltage power grid on the perimeter of the bunker, which would effectively prevent the Zerg from approaching the bunker.
If the Federation Glory has enough energy, it is safest to use a high-voltage grid to fence off the entire battleship, but the problem is that the Federation Glory has insufficient energy, so these high-voltage grids can only be used to provide defense for small bunkers.
Soon, the high-voltage power grid was laid, and two thousand marines escorted the engineer battalion to the next construction site.
As time passed, bunkers rose from the ground, and although every time a bunker was built, the Zerg would come and destroy it, but under the desperate protection of the fortified warriors and marines, the bunkers were successfully built and garrisoned by marines.
When night began to fall, the Federation Glory had twelve more bunkers around it, and they could keep watch over each other, which could coordinate defenses, effectively block the attack of the swarm, and provide timely warning for the warship.
However, twelve bunkers are still too few for the Federation Glory, which is more than thirty kilometers long, and it is simply not enough to enclose all the battleships, if you want to build a perfect early warning defense circle according to Qin Hao's idea, then at least sixty bunkers are needed.
But it was already dark, and the Marines and the soldiers of the engineer battalion were exhausted from a hard day's fighting, and it would be too dangerous for them to continue their work at this time.
"Nicole, let them come back, I'll take the second engineer battalion out to continue construction!" Qin Hao said to Nicole that he had made a plan from the beginning, and he was willing to take the reinforcement warriors to help protect the engineering battalion during the day, while he himself took another engineering battalion to continue construction at night, and he must build the alert and defensive ring in the shortest possible time, so that the Federation Glory would not have to open the shield and weapon system for a long time.
"Good!" Nicole nodded, and then recalled the team of sappers and their escort team back to the battleship, while Qin Hao took two thousand marines to escort the second team of sappers to the next bunker construction site.
"Be careful on the road!" Nicole admonished.
"With me, don't worry!" Qin Hao said with a smile.
After coming out of the battleship, Qin Hao escorted a team of engineering vehicles with two thousand marines to the bunker construction site.
At the beginning, everything was going well, and the Zerg seemed to have given up on interfering with the construction of the human race because of the failure of the whole day, but when night completely fell and Qin Hao and the others were building the third bunker, the Zerg attacked again!
"Boom!" There was no temptation at all, it was directly the attack of the tunnel worm, which broke through the ground near the engineering vehicle, and the giant mouth went straight to a construction vehicle.
"Brute! Don't you dare! Qin Hao was anxious all of a sudden, there were only a few engineering vehicles on the Federation Glory, if this was destroyed, then their construction speed would be greatly reduced.
With a roar, Qin Hao jumped up, and instantly rushed in front of the pit worm, he rushed up against the terrifying blood basin mouth of the pit worm, and at the same time, his right arm was raised, and a punch slammed into the corner of the pit insect's mouth.
"Bang!" Qin Hao's fist landed on the mouth of the pit worm, his punch can be said to be powerful, but the question is to see who to compare, if it is compared with humans, Qin Hao's punch is enough to knock a fat man a few meters away, but if it is compared with the pit worm, it is not much stronger than tickling.
However, at the moment when Qin Hao's punch hit the corner of the pit worm's mouth, four bone spurs popped out of the back of his fist and stabbed directly into the pit worm's body!
Don't look at Qin Hao's bone spurs are only more than a foot long, even if they pierce into the body of the pit worm, it doesn't seem to cause any damage, but the pit worm seems to have been electrocuted, and the head like a small house suddenly rises upward, and it wants to let its body quickly separate from those bone spurs.
