Chapter 961: Earth Split
Nuclear explosions in the distance, meteors in the distance, winds overhead, rifts under your feet, and endless gunfire in between. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The veteran hadn't gone far, and had been keeping an eye on the survivors of the Glasion Fleet and the Phantom Fleet not far from the sinkhole, in order to confirm their movements and prepare for a possible surprise attack.
The firelight in the sky reflected Ma Runjia's golden mask, and there were explosive projections jumping on it, very cheerful, like the dance of war monsters.
The exhaust vent behind Ma Runjia spewed out a white airstream, and the veteran stepped on the ground in a scorched rubble under the flames, turned back to the vulture chariot, and started the engine.
He sighed, his voice drowned out by the roar of the two engines behind him.
Since Planet 5 met Tang Fang, along the way, he has never sighed, never sighed, never been soft, never softly when he shouldn't, never complained when he shouldn't. But today he sighed, and finally sighed.
The fire from behind the tail of the vulture chariot was like an arrow and a spear, and one man and one cart rode away in the wind, and a dense fragment fell from the sky, raising sandstorms in the plains on the left side of the locomotive.
The survivors of the Phantom and Lion fleets did not see the vulture chariots that rode away in the wind, nor did they pay attention to the sandstorms on the misty horizon, because the crash and earthquake from the sinkhole disrupted everyone's thoughts and actions at once.
The miserable officers walked out of the command car, and the young soldiers who kept strafing the core of the mothership also slowed down the pace of their attacks, trying to stay away from the ridge, so as not to be affected by the secondary disasters caused by the meteorite hitting the crater wall, in case of a collapse accident, buried by the rock rolling down from the top of the mountain, such a death is really not very pretty.
Thankfully, there was no collapse. In fact, even if a collapse occurs, as long as it is not a super-large collapse, they do not need to care.
As the young soldiers recovered from their shock and looked up across the sky, they saw that the large crystal and the black flying machine were gone. So some reckless fellows scolded Tang Fang for being despicable and shameless, and for being a coward, and if he was really a daring man, as Marion said, he would get down from that ghost and compare with them who could shoot faster and who was more agile, instead of running away with his tail between his legs.
The shouting came and went quickly, because the people in the reconnaissance vehicle discovered a new situation. In the sky, an object is rapidly passing through the area of gravitational disturbance, ignoring the shock wave created by the meteorite storm and nuclear bomb, trying to enter the atmosphere of the wandering planet.
After a few breaths, the man's voice sounded again, telling them that it was an angel number that was trying to enter the atmosphere of the wandering planet, presumably to pick up Tang Fang and the Covenant Navy soldiers to leave here.
The officers still didn't speak, and the expressions on their faces became even more bitter. And some of the soldiers were still cautiously persuading them to contact the Demon Wolf or the Star Ring, and tell the lieutenant general about the difficulties they were facing, and ask for some help, rather than sit here and wait for death.
It took less time for the Angel to break through the gravitational disturbance zone than it did when it first entered the interior of the wandering planet, perhaps because the orbital strikes launched by Belek and Rockefeller diluted the concentration of warship wreckage and asteroid fragments in the gravitational disturbance zone, which caused a lot of damage to the trihort units, but also reduced the difficulty of entering the atmosphere of the wandering planet.
Kudelia had returned to her post, but her face was still a little pale, and her voice was much weaker than usual, except for the sharpness in her eyes, which were as sharp as daggers.
Tang Lin also returned to the bridge and changed into a set of sky blue sportswear, which made him look less dull and more lively.
"Alena, mark the rendezvous point to the topographic map."
"Yes." Alena agreed, and as she was told, she uploaded the coordinates of the Covenant Marine's assembly area to the sandbox system.
A cyan light screen was emitted from the holographic projector above the battle console, and the projected image of the wandering planet appeared above the virtual sand table, and the location of the Angel and the assembly point of the Covenant Navy soldiers were marked with red bright spots.
Kudelia frowned as she looked at the scene in front of her, and a hint of unease appeared on her pale face.
Tang Lin noticed the change in her face and asked, "What's wrong?" Feeling sick again? ”
She shook her head, pointed to the holographic projection of the wandering planet and said, "Don't you think the planet's rotation is speeding up?" ”
The first time the Angel entered the interior of the wandering planet was to drop the Nightmare not far from the sinkhole, and now it's only been a long time, and it's almost come full circle, and it takes less time than the estimates from the detectors before the war began.
"The wandering planet is spinning faster?" Tang Lin muttered in a low voice, if it hadn't been for Kudelia telling him, he really didn't care about this situation. The gravitational disorder area and huge sinkhole of the wandering planet already make people feel weird, and now there is an abnormal rotational speed, which is really incomprehensible, what is the origin of this black planet that swallowed the 42nd and 87th fleets of the Star Alliance Navy, the Blue Lion Fleet and the Phantom Fleet of the Mengya Navy, and how can there be so many unusual.
The image on the large screen of Bridge 3 was replaced by a photo of the sinkhole taken from above, and many crew members stared at it for a while, and then felt chills and an inexplicable sense of fear. Some attribute this feeling to the instinctive rejection of the unknown, while others feel that the sinkhole is very much like the passage between the world and hell in the scriptures.
At this moment, a rapid alarm sounded across the bridge, and the intelligence officer looked back at the combat command platform, "Captain, a large number of heat sources have been detected and are rapidly approaching the location of our ship. ”
Needless to say, Kudelia also saw what was happening on the virtual sandbox, where a jet of massive asteroid fragments and a small number of nuclear warheads fell diagonally upwards and smashed straight into the slow-sinking Angel Sign.
If it is a single asteroid, or a small number of asteroid fragments, it can be resisted by the strong defense of the Starlight Shield, but a meteor shower of this magnitude will have a great negative impact on the battleship, interfere with the progress of the mission, and slow down the rescue of the surviving soldiers of the Star Alliance Navy to leave the wandering planet.
In the current environment, time is not money, time is life.
"Damn, it's ...... at this time," Kudelia grumbled under her breath, ordering the driver in front of her, "go down at full speed and try to avoid the meteor shower's range." ”
"Yes." The people in front agreed, gave up the plan to go straight to the assembly place of the Monya naval soldiers, reduced the power of the anti-gravity engine, activated the auxiliary thruster reverse injection, and helped the Angel to sink quickly, and avoid the meteorite rain falling from the sky by entering the middle and low airspace.
Tang Lin looked at the asteroid fragments and nuclear warheads that grazed by the Angel on the big screen, and complained in a low voice: "Damn gravitational turbulence, it won't erupt sooner or later, but it will erupt at this time, I hope the big brother can withstand it, Hank?" Those people can still withstand ......"
Kudelia pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on the rapidly declining altitude and the distance between the computer's mapped flight path of the large meteorite and the battleship.
Alena suddenly interrupted the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the area of the combat command platform, and turned the monitor in front of her to face Tang Lin and Kudelia, "You see, the situation of this meteor shower is a little unusual. ”
Claire and Nehemia, who were in the back seating area, heard Alena's words and looked up at the monitor.
The intelligence processing system of the Zodiac Angel maps the flight path of asteroid fragments and nuclear warheads according to their volume, speed, direction and other parameters. Kudelia and Tang Lin focused on the safety of the Angel and the progress of the mission, ignoring the meteorite's flight path and landing site.
Only Alena discovered this seemingly unimportant, but surprising problem------ judging from the demo image on the monitor, the asteroid fragments and a small number of nuclear warheads that passed by the Angel will all fall into the sinkhole.
Tang Lin said in an uncertain tone: "This is likely to be an accident, after all, the sinkhole is really vast, a meteorite storm of this magnitude will inevitably affect it, haven't many meteorites fallen into it before, and if it wasn't for the help of the eldest brother just now, the Mengya naval soldiers below are only afraid that they have suffered heavy casualties." ”
Alena said, "You have a point, but ...... This time, there were more meteorites that fell into the sinkhole. ”
In fact, she didn't know what was going on, but she felt a little strange, so she reported it to everyone and wanted to hear their opinions on this scene.
Nehemiah and Claire looked at each other in the back, their faces a little worried, but they didn't say much.
Kudelia thought for a moment and said, "Since the first time I saw this wandering planet, it gave me a very strange feeling, but whether this meteor shower has a special internal situation or not, the first task of the Angel Number at the moment is to answer Hank?" Jin and the others boarded the ship, and as for other things, it was not too late to bother after this goal was achieved. ”
The Angel continued to sink, and what Kudelia and the others didn't know was that the Monya Navy soldiers in the area along the edge of the sinkhole were being swallowed by the terrifying aura coming from underground.
As the mothership core and the Raven left the airspace, many self-righteous young soldiers turned their hateful eyes to the Angel Mount, and just as they were about to vent their anger, a colorful meteor shower fell from the sky, and countless meteorites draped in flames fell into the sinkhole.
Some of them have never seen the real ocean, but have only heard of the term, know that it is synonymous with vastness and beauty, and have imagined that walking on a sunny beach, blowing the damp and salty sea breeze, and letting the waves implicitly kiss the surface of their feet, will undoubtedly be very comfortable and happy.
Some soldiers who had seen the sea told them that the sinkhole ahead was wider and wider than the beautiful ocean, but it was not blue, nor green, nor golden...... It is black. There is no salty salt water in its arms, no happy fish and shrimp, no lonely cruise ships, only deep and suffocating fear.
If you ignore the differences, it's a sea of fear at the end of this black wasteland.
Of course, no one would consider it beautiful and fascinating...... Except for the madmen. However, the sight of a meteor shower falling on the "horizon" and setting off a firestorm in the black ocean shocked many people, and it can be regarded as an exotic scene.
However, this visual enjoyment did not last long, and was broken by the vibration coming from underground.
At a time when wandering planets are facing the baptism of meteorites and nuclear bombs, earthquakes are a very frequent secondary disaster, so frequent that people are numb and think it is normal. But for the soldiers of the Monya Navy on the edge of the sinkhole, the earthquake is very different from the previous ones. In the past, earthquakes were formed by nuclear explosions or meteorite impacts, and the epicenter was located on the surface, but the current earthquake that continues to ferment has its epicenter from the depths of the sinkhole.
Because of the previous meteor shower falling in the sinkhole, it is reasonable to cause an earthquake disaster, but what is puzzling and even frightening is that, according to the measurement results of geological instruments, the seismic waves spreading from the earth's core region are growing rapidly in geometric progression.
Such a report frightened many people, and those who were ready to attack the Angel Number had to withdraw their hateful gaze and turn their attention to the huge sinkhole behind them.
When the first crack appeared on the edge of the sinkhole, when the first rock mass slid into the bottomless black abyss with a rumbling sound, the Mengya Navy soldiers not far away were afraid, and they quickly started the engine in the car, and the soles of their feet slammed on the accelerator...... They all moved away from the sinkhole at maximum speed and headed towards the plain area where the Monya Navy warship had landed in front.
As for the mechanized infantry in power armor, they have the conditions to climb on the various types of vehicles around them to escape, and those who are not able to do so can only throw off their legs and run forward with all their might.
Thundered...... Violent geological movements centered on the sinkhole and spread towards the surrounding area. The fissures turned into rifts, radiating rapidly in all directions, and large chunks of rock fell off the edge of the sinkhole like damp wall skin, falling into the bottomless abyss.
This is not only the case in the area where the survivors of the Greylion Fleet and the Phantom Fleet are located, but also the entire edge of the sinkhole and the tens of thousands of kilometers of "coastline". The meteorites falling against the sky, and the flames blooming in the distance, added a little more turmoil to this catastrophe.
Originally, those Mengya Navy soldiers were to respond to the counterattack of the Star Alliance Marines and the Tang side, so they withdrew from the plain area where a large number of Mengya Navy warships were distributed, in order to use the terrain of some mountains on the edge of the sinkhole to snipe at the enemy, and they died in a dignified and vigorous battle.
But at this moment, their pride, pride, glory, and fighting spirit all dissipated in the face of this catastrophe, and they were defeated like a rabble.
In the face of the core of the mothership and the angel number, they can show who has not died since ancient times, retain the heroic spirit and unyielding fighting spirit, but when the geological disaster comes, all the blood and persistence are replaced by practical actions such as fleeing in embarrassment and surviving in death.
