Su Ming got up and followed unhurriedly, and the two soldiers chatted without discovering Su Ming's eavesdropping.

"I heard that the Third Brigade has found another insect king in Maya District, and is preparing to encircle and suppress it in the next few days."

"The core of the worm king is a good thing, but this thing has to be worth it. Which insect king does not have tens of thousands of troops under his command, and if he does not have heavy firepower and numerical superiority, he will be sent to death. ”

"One core can be exchanged for two bottles of booster medicine, and it will be issued to the Federation. Why bother on an errand in this mountain......"

Su Ming walked behind and listened to their conversation and got two important pieces of information.

One, there is a worm king in Maya.

Second, the core of the insect king can be handed over to the force behind the soldiers, the Federation. It can then be exchanged for Enhancement Potions.

"What about the mercenaries? What about mercenaries? An officer in a non-commissioned officer's hat walked by and shouted to his men.

Soon he came to the vicinity of Su Ming and the others, "Get in the car immediately, there is also a swarm of insects in the mine, you should go over and support immediately." The non-commissioned officer commanded loudly.

[Note: The second stage of the mission has been activated.] 】

[Task completion conditions: Arrive at the blue steel mine cave and complete the rescue of the trapped personnel. 】

[Mission Limit: 10 hours.] 】

[Task penalty: Data cleared.] 】

The second stage of the mission is activated, and the mission is to go to a location called the Blue Steel Mine to rescue the trapped people.

Su Ming and his group jumped into the truck, and more than a dozen military trucks rushed towards the mine from the gate.

Open the map, the target location is deep in a forest, the distance is about fifty kilometers.

The truck was bumping and speeding on the grassland, and the violent shaking made Su Ming a little sick and nauseous. There are many traces of the Zerg in the nearby grassland, and the turf has been destroyed by some unknown race to create deep ravines.

Su Ming asked the strong man in the carriage about the inspection and construction of firearms, which was at least a few decades ahead of the earth's technology, whether it was the power of gunpowder, the accuracy of the chamber, or the effect of the optical sight, it was a few streets away from some military factories.

Su Ming didn't even recognize it as a firearm at first, but he gradually fell in love with it during a battle in the fortress.

Brother Zhuang Han's name is Luo Wei, and Su Ming calls him Viagra. Luo Wei didn't seem to be proficient in firearms, he just passed on some of the knowledge and experience he knew to Su Ming.

Through conversation, Su Ming learned that Luo Wei had participated in the mission of the Void Realm for the third time, and even half of the rookies in the same batch with him had survived.

Su Ming was shocked by this data, which made him alert, the Void Realm didn't let him come on vacation when he got him here. If the mission fails, there is only one ending, die.

The trucks roared through the open grassland, and soon the convoy reached the border of the meadow. Ahead is a dark broad-leaved forest, with an easy path on the periphery. The truck drove slowly through the dimly lit forest, and many of the redeemers were alert to the surrounding situation, and through the lookout of the car, the jungle outside was so leafy that it was difficult for the line of sight to effectively see the scene behind them.

Deep in the jungle there was a loud chirping of insects, and all kinds of unknown birds fluttered among the branches and leaves.

"Whoa, whoa!" The sound of the rubbing of branches and leaves came from all around, and the lead car in front of it braked to a stop.

The soldiers in the lead jumped out of the carriage and pulled the bolt with the "click" of their guns.

After Su Ming got out of the car, he stared at the jungle in front of him in the team, and as the sound of "bang-la-la-la" branches and leaves approached, a group of hateful-looking zergs appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Da Da Da!" No one needs to be reminded, there are redeemers who pull the trigger directly.

Bright lines of fire weaved through the jungle, shrubs and weeds torn apart by the kinetic energy of bullets.

Su Ming also fired his gun, and one by one the stinging mantis and giant beetles exploded in the roar of bullets. His wrist was a little sore when a clip was shot, and the kinetic energy of the high-flammable armor-piercing bullet was amazing, and the recoil force could not be underestimated.

There were more and more Zerg surrounding, and the corpses of the Zerg soon piled up in a small slope several meters high around them. A steady stream of Zerg poured in from the depths of the forest, eating away at everyone's firing positions little by little.

"What's going on, the Zerg only began to wake up in the warm season in previous years, why are there so many of them today?" A soldier said puzzled, he thought it would not be difficult to rescue the mine.

"Hurry up while the intersection in front of you is not blocked, and open the way with heavy weapons! If we drag it on, we'll all die! A redeemer shouted at the non-commissioned officer who led the team with a machine gun firing wildly.

The non-commissioned officer did not hesitate, and quickly jumped into the truck, and the lead truck started with a roar, a firing window opened in front of the car, and a huge heavy vehicle-mounted cannon began to spray tongues of fire.

A group of redeemers jumped into the car and shot at the lookout of the carriage.

The convoy moved away in the wave of biters, and several slackers and soldiers who were moving a step slower were overwhelmed by the swarm in wails.

From time to time, a few thorn mantis and other zergs jumped in the way of the road ahead, and the tongues of fire from the cannons smashed them to pieces. The tires ran over the scattered pieces of flesh of the stump, and there were bursts of sour bodily fluids.

Su Ming's heartbeat was beating uncontrollably fast, and the Zerg who were close at hand and the Zerg under the city wall were not an experience at all.

The Redeemer lost a dozen or so people, all of them silent in the carriage, and the atmosphere gradually became oppressive in the silence.

After an hour of driving, the destination arrived, and a huge artificial field appeared in front of everyone. Su Ming got out of the car and watched carefully with everyone.

A ring of defenses was erected on the periphery of the site, and the broken power grid was torn apart by the Zerg. There was silence around, without any mechanical or living sounds.

Su Ming came to the center of the venue, and the ground was sprinkled with red and green blood. Zerg stumps were scattered around the field, and Su Ming's footsteps stepped on a bullet casing.

Many of the trucks were covered in scars, the glass windows were covered in scarlet blood, and the fate of the people inside was self-evident.

"Oops! We're late. The non-commissioned officer who led the team looked uncertain.

"Where have all the people gone? Why didn't there be a single body left? Su Ming looked at the miserable scene around him and asked.

"They're eating people, rookies!" A soldier said with wide eyes.

"Half of the people came to the mine with me, and the rest stayed outside." Half of the non-commissioned officers who led the team were selected, and Su Ming and Luo Wei were also selected.

Su Ming turned on the communication headset in his ear, this thing was issued by the non-commissioned officer before leaving.

More than a hundred or so people slowly approached the mine, and when they came to the entrance of the cave, there were many traces of drag and blood on the ground. A row of fingernails scratched a bloody scratch on the rocks on the ground.

The non-commissioned officer made a gesture, and everyone quietly moved inside. The tunnels of the mine were wide, and a dozen or so people side by side did not feel crowded, and the lights dispelled a little of the dim erosion, and the surrounding area was full of plasma and broken internal organs, but the zerg was nowhere to be seen.

When everyone came to the fork in the mine, the non-commissioned officer ordered a team of people to stay where they were, a team to go to the ore storage room to inspect, and he himself led the team to go deep into the underground mine below.

It stands to reason that there can be no survivors here, and the wisest thing to do is to take the minerals and send heavy troops to clean them.

But the non-commissioned officer insisted on going deep into the underground mines, and he still led the team himself.

"Sir, it seems that there are no survivors in the situation, so let's withdraw, take away the minerals and then avenge these brothers." One redeemer suggested, and even many of the soldiers nodded in agreement.

Hell knows how many bugs there are down there, there are 500 people stationed here, but not a single living mouth is left now. When they go inside, they really have the meaning of sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

"Three days ago, the underneath the pit unearthed Blood Crystal, a must-have for medicine, smelting, and crafting energy weapons. The authorities attached great importance to it and ordered that this batch of minerals must be mined. "The non-commissioned officer said the reason for his in-depth.

"And, most importantly, if the Zerg devour this substance, they will evolve, both in terms of vitality and attack and defense, and the same will be true for their offspring." The non-commissioned officer looked at the crowd and said.

"Shhh Quite a few soldiers took a breath of cold air, they understood what the consequences would be if the situation did happen.

No one said to back down, the non-commissioned officer had high explosives in his backpack, powerful enough to fill the entire mine. If the Zerg do find the Blood Crystal Salt and eat it, the non-commissioned officer will simply blow up the pit and bury them alive.

The tunnel below is very deep, and further down you will need a minecart. The sound of the minecart may attract the attention of the Zerg, but the non-commissioned officer can't care about that much.

The two transport minecarts slowly slid down on the electric track, and Su Ming's palms began to sweat, and the tip of his nose was already covered with beads of sweat. The deep tunnels reveal the tip of the iceberg under the searchlight, and all kinds of strange rocks turn into distorted light and shadow in the dim light.

"Whew!" There was a sharp sound of brakes, and the minecart came to a halt at the end of the track.

The non-commissioned officer turned on the searchlight on his chest and looked at the dark hole ahead. Su Ming also turned on the lights of T-101, and a group of people walked cautiously at the entrance of the cave.

"Smack!" A pebble fell overhead, and a crisp sound echoed through the tunnel.

Everyone raised their heads, and dense thorn mantis clinged to the top of the tunnel.

"Don't shoot overhead, if you crack the mine, it will collapse!" The non-commissioned officer reminded loudly.

Everyone knew that the mantis above began to slowly climb down the wall, and the Zerg did not swarm up, which was unreasonable.

A group of praying thorns gathered at the entrance of the cave, faintly meaning to protect the entrance of the cave.

"They're guarding the pit behind them, damn it! There must be zergs laying eggs inside! Fire! The non-commissioned officer gave an order, and hundreds of mantis thorns were drowned in a rain of bullets.

Bright lines of fire weaved through the dimly lit cavern, and the shattered rocks "crackled" and splashed, leaving a sour sour sludge on the ground after a burst of strafing.

Some rocks fell one after another from the top of the head, some large and some small. Everyone's hearts rose to their throats, if this pit collapsed, it would be difficult for the gods to save it.

Fortunately, after a few stones fell overhead, there was no sound, and everyone walked towards it with filth.

After walking a certain distance, the last section of the pit arrived, and a female redeemer spit out when she saw the scene in front of her.
