Chapter 386: Bloody Battle Proxima Centauri
Richard led the charge, the laser weapons on the mechanical armor raining down fire, and the clawed jumpworms and barefoot reptiles were swept into pieces by the laser beam, exploding green slime flying everywhere.
Although the ground has been carpet-bombed by ground-to-ground missiles, there is still a thick layer of corrosive mucus remaining, and the smell is unpleasant.
Fortunately, the mechanical armor on the warriors is specially treated, and the outer layer is wrapped with a layer of special material, which has a good anti-corrosion ability, and will not let the corrosive slime hurt the warriors inside.
The helmet's filtration system also filters out impurities and odors from the air, leaving insiders with little to no smell.
The only thing that is a little troublesome is that the slime on the ground is mixed with dirt and becomes very viscous, which seriously affects the mobility of the airborne troops, and the jetpack behind it cannot ensure that the heavy mechanical armor can fly for a long time, so it consumes a lot of physical strength when acting.
Even with the help of boosters, the Airborne Forces can only move at a constant pace, at a maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour, and it takes at least 3 hours to reach their destination.
A distance of a hundred kilometers, if you fly a Storm fighter, you can reach it almost in the blink of an eye, but the ground forces need to move slowly, and they have to make a detour when they encounter large obstacles.
Frankly speaking, Mu Chen has always felt that the Marine Corps will be completely eliminated at some point in the future, both the mobility ability and the attack power have great limitations, and the Marine Corps is still the unit with the highest casualty rate in the Space Fleet, after all, they inevitably need to engage in close combat with the enemy, and the danger factor is greatly increased.
This is also the reason why Mu Chen sent them to battle as little as possible, not as a last resort, he rarely used airborne troops and landing troops, just to avoid unnecessary casualties.
But this time it is an exception, on the one hand, Proxima Centauri is very important, as a once habitable planet, it is almost the spiritual pillar of Proxima Centauri, and it cannot be directly destroyed by the Star Destroyer Cannon or the detonation of the center of the earth, otherwise Proxima Centauri will have to fight with him.
On the other hand, the strength of the little tree people has not yet been figured out, and if you want to understand Gollum's ability to purify the pollution source of the Zerg, you must personally board this planet and do a field test, which requires the close protection of the Marine Force, otherwise it would be too inhumane to leave Gollum alone on this dangerous planet.
The planet has long been unrecognizable, the surface is covered with a layer of dark green slime, no matter how you look at it, it feels ominous, and the traces of Proxima Centauri's life have been completely erased by the Zerg, and only some of the collapsed buildings can still be vaguely recognized as a little Proxima Centauri's architectural style.
The nearby insect swarm was still gathering towards the location of the airborne troops, and the pressure on them was increasing, and the speed of their advance was also reduced a lot, almost to the point of difficulty.
"Send a signal for fire support from the drone swarm and flying units!" Richard shouted to the communications soldier beside him.
"The signal has been issued, and the air strike is expected to arrive in 5 minutes!"
"Very well, brothers, work hard, hold on to this little time, reinforcements will be there soon!" Richard roared as he cheered up his teammates, only to find that he seemed to be doing something too much.
Being able to fight side by side with Lord Death, these team members burst out with unprecedented passion, and there was no need for him to command more, everyone stuck to their positions, and kept venting their attacks, throwing a fire net of laser beams intertwined in all directions, desperately blocking the progress of the swarm.
Mu Chen was not idle, although he hadn't used a gun for a long time, his shooting level had not fallen, the hit rate was frighteningly high, every shot hit the enemy's vital point, and he also played tricks.
"Hehe, do you think I can get rid of that clawed jumping worm?" Mu Chen pointed into the distance
One of the bugs asked Richard beside him.
Richard measured it with the rangefinder on his combat helmet, shook his head and said, "More than 3,000 meters, I'll look at it!" ”
"Hah, let's show you then." Mu Chen raised his weapon, took aim intently, and pulled the trigger in his hand without hesitation.
A red laser beam instantly knocked down the clawed jumping worm in mid-air, directly blasting off half of its head.
Mu Chen glanced at Richard proudly: "What's the matter?" Your uncle is still your uncle after all, right? ”
"Go, don't be there!" Richard said angrily, too lazy to deal with this boring guy, and at the same time he was a little admired in his heart, he couldn't imagine that even if he became a commander, this guy's shooting level was still so perverted.
At a distance of more than 3,000 meters, a headshot, this kind of ultra-long-distance shooting even ace snipers dare not say that they are sure, but this pervert can do it almost casually, and it is unreasonable!
The team members didn't see it that way, and when the battle situation was critical, Lord Death was still in the mood to have fun, and it seemed that he didn't pay attention to the swarm at all, which made everyone's confidence even stronger.
None of the Grim Reaper are afraid, we people have nothing to worry about, those reptiles are just a flock of lambs to the slaughter, and it is only a matter of time before they are destroyed.
I don't know what's going on, the team members start to try long-range shooting, and secretly bet with their teammates.
"Did you see that reptile, I'm going to hit it in the mouth this time!"
"Che, you think you're the Grim Reaper? Where's the point? ”
"Isn't it a small man?"
"If you can hit it, Lao Tzu will go over and eat that worm raw!"
"That's what you said! Don't admit it for a while! ”
A laser beam shot out, maybe it was really blessed by the gods, this warrior really hit the mouthparts of an insect more than 1,000 meters away with one shot, and immediately jumped up excitedly.
"Holy! Meng, right? The teammate next to him said dumbfounded.
"You don't care if I'm blind, I'm willing to lose the bet, I'll stare at you and eat it raw for a while." The little warrior said with a wicked smile.
"Made, Lao Tzu's soldiers have all been led astray by you!" Richard glared at Mu Chen angrily, reached out and knocked on the soldier's helmet, "Stop playing, give me a serious look!" ”
"Hehe...... the little soldier shrunk his neck, hurriedly returned to his attack position, and continued to raise his gun to shoot, in fact, he was really blind, a target less than two meters away was almost the same size as a sesame seed to the naked eye, and the ghost had a way to hit it.
At the same time, everyone had a heartfelt admiration for Lord Death, knowing that the previous over-range shooting had reached an astonishing 3,000 meters, breaking the shooting record again, and it seemed so casual.
Mu Chen also knew that he couldn't play anymore, otherwise the soldiers would learn from each other, and maybe there would be some accidents.
It's not a good thing to relax on the battlefield, after all, if you're not careful, you'll die here, and you can't afford not to take it seriously.
And the current situation must also be focused on coping, the size of the insect swarm is getting bigger and bigger, almost boundless surging over, and there are many flying insects hovering in the air, which brings a lot of trouble to the fire suppression.
The fighters had to deal with both the ground forces of the Zerg and the flying troops above their heads, and it was inevitable that there would be problems when they were single-minded, and soon the first casualties appeared.
A giant horned flying insect descended from the sky, hooked directly on the mechanical armor of a warrior with its claws, dragged him out of the position, and flew into the air with its wings.
Mu Chen hurriedly raised his gun and shot, shattering the wings of the giant horned flying insect, and the attacked warrior was also very experienced, and immediately activated the flying backpack behind him after breaking free from the shackles of the giant horned flying insect, trying to reduce the speed of the fall.
But without the protection of the cover, he was still very dangerous, and the other giant horned flying insects saw such a conspicuous target in the sky, and immediately all of them swarmed up, and the three giant horned flying insects grabbed the body and limbs of this warrior respectively, and tore them like snatching a rag doll.
The pain-bearing warrior is also a ruthless character, and with the last of his strength, he activated the self-detonation device on the mechanical warframe, and exploded a brilliant firework in the air, killing all the giant horned flying insects, but he himself ended up with no bones left.
"Made! Give me the focus to hit hard! The first and second squads are specially responsible for dealing with the Zerg flying units overhead, and they are not allowed to let any bugs rush into the position! Richard roared angrily, and he was furious to see his men sacrificed.
Mu Chen's eyes also turned red, and he put down all his playfulness and contempt, and raised his weapon to knock out a flying insect that approached.
"Electromagnetic grenade throw!" The warrior in charge of intercepting the Zerg on the ground roared, pulling the grenade off his chest and throwing it at the swarm that was already close at hand.
The other fighters did the same, raining down electromagnetic grenades at the densest swarms, and immediately falling to the ground to prevent them from being affected by the aftermath of the electromagnetic grenades.
"Boom, boom!" A series of explosions came, and the swarm in front of him was directly shattered by electromagnetic grenades, raining down a sky full of green slime, flying everywhere, and the broken stumps fell in front of the position, some of them were still twitching nervously, looking weird.
"Just fight like that! It's all up to me, and support will be there soon! ”
Perhaps hearing Richard's call, there was a roar of thrusters overhead, and the first flight troops arrived to support, accompanied by an overwhelming swarm of drone swarms behind them.
"Made, it's finally here." Richard took a sip in a small voice, his heart calmed down a lot, the situation just now was very dangerous, the swarm had already touched the edge of the position, if the reinforcements did not come, they would only have to fight in close quarters, which would inevitably cause great casualties.
Even with the protection of the mechanical battle armor, the earthlings still don't have much advantage in close combat, especially against these reptiles who are not afraid of death, and they are completely invincible with two fists and four hands.
No matter what kind of reptile it is, it has more than a pair of sharp claws, and the earthlings have no advantage in a one-on-one situation, let alone the situation where the size of the swarm is far greater than theirs.
The Storm Fighters immediately opened fire, helping the Airborne Forces to hold their ground, pushing the front line of the Zerg back a long distance before turning around and concentrating on the Zerg flying units in the air.
The pressure on the Airborne Force is drastically reduced, and the first and second squads can also free up their hands to help their teammates intercept the swarm in front of them.
"Oh, don't make a fuss!" Mu Chen didn't know how many times he stuffed the little tree man who poked his head out into his arms again, this guy didn't look at it at all, he always wanted to run out, and he didn't look at what the situation was now.
"Gollum!" Xiao Shuren waved his fist dissatisfiedly, and Mu Chen punched him in the chest, but he didn't dare to make any effort, just like tickling.
"You little arms and legs, don't be accidentally trampled to death by insects." Mu Chen patiently comforted Gollum, but he didn't know how angry he was.
Gollum was suddenly unhappy, and if she wanted to help you, she didn't appreciate it, as for underestimating me like this?
The little tree man jumped out of Mu Chen's arms without saying a word, stood on the high place on the position, inhaled intently, his big eyes like jewels instantly lit up, and the pale green light was condensing in his eyes.
