Chapter 49: A Disturbing Truth

In the evening, the insect attacks stopped, and the human infantry was given a respite. Huge trenches and high walls have been built, which gives people some confidence.

Commander-in-Chief William was in contact with headquarters, "How are the things I need ready?" And what do you mean when you say that large airships can't come and pick them up? ”

On the other end of the comm responded: "The things you want are ready, there will be a small armed spaceship to transport it to you."

But there are traces of the activity of large anti-aircraft insects in your direction, and no large transport airship can carry the acid cannon of that kind of insects.

So I've sent small transport airships to help you transfer, but you'll have to hold out for at least 5 hours! ”

"Is there no other way?" Commander William's face sank.

"Sorry my friend, I can't joke about the safety of the megaship! I'll send one of the fastest transports to move you.

But even such a round trip will take at least an hour! I think you'll need to hold on for about 7~8 hours! An apologetic voice came from the other end of the communication.

"It's only half past six, and seven hours is half past one in the morning! I'm just afraid most of the lads won't make it that far. The person on the other side was silent for a while, and William sighed and said, "Then good luck to me!" ”

A soldier walked briskly into the command room and saluted the commander and reported: "Report to the colonel, there is a flying ship landing outside, and they say that there is a batch of supplies that you need to count." ”

William hung up the communication and went out with the soldiers to count supplies.

On the tarmac, Monro, the cadets, watched curiously at the small transport airship in front of them.

The armor shell, painted black and gray, was painted with white paint and had its unit number painted on it, and a flat, elongated hull resembled an enlarged shipping container.

Shu Xiao couldn't help but complain, this is obviously a container with two wings.

Although this transport airship shattered everyone's beautiful illusions about airships, the carrying capacity was still very satisfactory, and a full 12 tons of ammunition and various supplies were signed by Colonel William.

The wounded and some paramedics from the previous battlefield were sent to the empty spaceship.

Monroe, who was helping to unload the goods on the side, quietly counted the number of people, 54 people!

About 50 people can be transported in one trip, so 10 trips can ensure the completion of task one.

The abundance of ammunition in front of them and the hope of escaping gave all the cadets a high morale!

It's like a complex math problem, you have been calculating for a long time, but you don't find the idea, suddenly you have a flash of inspiration, you think of a possibility, think, the more you think, the more likely it is, in this case, you will even work harder to calculate!

Rather than the tedious calculation process, the students are more afraid of thoughtless and painstaking meditation.

Now the light is in sight, and everyone is fighting for it.

Colonel William was counting his supplies, reinforcing the steel plates of the walls, enough bullets to support four hours of fighting, fuel for flamethrowers, shells for siege tanks, and other supplies that needed to be turned to receive them.

Everything seems to be so beautiful, as long as it goes well, this mission can be successfully completed. But is it really that smooth?

Munro felt like he had forgotten something, and after a moment of hard thought and fruitless meditation, he opened his personal file again.

From the beginning of the mission to the present, the only thing that can inspire him is this file, and if he really forgets something, then this thing must be hidden in those personal files.

An order from a superior? No, this thing is pitifully short, and it doesn't hide any information.

A reply from a family member? Except for a bunch of trivia on the planet, which is a debt collection note.

Only poor ghosts who can't afford to pay back will be sent to a ghost place like an alien planet to be born and die. It's not this thing.

Personal logs? Some of the soldiers' life trivia and battle videos for the last three months were recorded. This thing is the most suspicious.

Meng Luo and Shu Xiao found a remote corner to be lazy, and the two quietly flipped through all their personal logs, and this time he finally found the problem!

Lair! Some insect beasts' nests are buried deep underground, and there are traces of excavation in many aisles, which shows that some insects and beasts have a strong ability to burrow into the ground!

He was about to talk to Shu Xiao next to him about it, but found that Shu Xiao on the other side also looked thoughtful.

"What did you find?" He asked, curiously.

"Take a look at this video." As he spoke, Shu Xiao turned on the light screen on his right hand.

Munro poked his head over and saw that the light screen was just a clip taken from a low-altitude transport ship.

Shu Xiao paused the picture, pointed to a dot on the screen and asked Meng Luo, "What did you find?" ”

Munro looked closely at the place she was pointing at, and saw that it was a mountain top surrounded by cliffs, and there were many insect corpses on the top of the mountain.

Before he could react to what was going on, he couldn't help but ask Shu Xiao curiously, "What did you find?"

Isn't it normal to find some insect corpses on the top of the mountain? Aren't we often finding dead insect and beast corpses during our marches? ”

"Did you notice that it was a mountain top with cliffs on all sides?

Moreover, most of the corpses of the dead insects and beasts were gone, leaving only some indigestible bones and knife feet, and on some bones there were gnawed tooth marks.

That place should be a restaurant for a flying bug! Shu Xiao said to Monroe with a solemn face.

"You're saying we're likely to be attacked by flying insects?" Munro was incredulous.

Shu Xiao nodded with a calm face. "What did you find?"

"Those insects and beasts out there are likely to burrow into the ground!" Munro replied.

"Then why didn't they just sneak in and attack us, but instead kept consuming troops outside?" Shu Xiao was a little puzzled.

"It is likely that only some special insect beasts have the ability to burrow into the ground and fly, and there are no such special varieties among the insect beasts that surround us now.

Or the number is too small to form an effective combat force. So they were waiting for their companions to arrive.

And I'm afraid they're not resting tonight.

Instead, they're digging tunnels, waiting for us to let our guard down, and they'll come out of the ground and kill us all while we're still asleep! Munro spoke a terrifying conjecture in a flat tone.

Shu Xiao's face was a little frightened, as if he was frightened by Monro's conjecture.

She still said with some reluctance: "They shouldn't be so smart, right?" Isn't it advertised in the higher-level documents that these are just low-level creatures, without intelligence and without brains? ”

"Be lenient with the enemy, no matter what, we have to take this possibility into account!" Monroe ruthlessly shattered Shu Xiao's luck.

Originally, the appearance of flying insects and beasts was enough to give people a headache, and if there were also ground-burrowing insects and beasts, Shu Xiao didn't know how to fight this battle.

"Should we break through in the first place? Move closer to the nearest troops? Shu Xiao muttered to herself.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, we should report this matter to the higher commander as soon as possible.

He has more information than we do, and there will definitely be a way to stop these insects! Munro said firmly.

In fact, he wasn't sure if Commander William had the means to block the insects and beasts, but now he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and he should prepare early!

Shu Xiao agreed with Meng Luo's idea and was about to get up and report to his superiors. But he was pulled by Monro.

Shu Xiao looked at Meng Luo suspiciously, he couldn't understand why the other party wanted to stop him from reporting to his superiors, wasn't he making this suggestion just now?

"We have formed an alliance with Gao Zhenhai's Class 8, and according to the agreement, all the information we found should be shared first." Monro explained.

"But isn't that the same as giving away contributions to others for nothing?" Shu Xiao was a little puzzled.

"This is only the first training, and we will spend more time together in the future, so as to make a good impression on other people, and they will not forget us when they are good in the future." Munro persuaded.

Soon, the news that the insect beast could fly and burrow into the ground spread within the alliance, and finally everyone agreed that Gao Zhenhai would report to his superiors.

But he also has to promise to fight for the welfare of everyone as much as possible.
