Chapter 676: The Worm's Trap

"Let me give you a taste of the power of thunderbolts." Wu Chaoqun roared, and released a high-temperature circle of thousands of degrees with a radius of more than 50 meters around himself.

The thousands of bugs surrounding the area screamed in unison, and their bodies began to burn as they struggled to disperse, emitting a scorching stench.

Lin Fuzi, the control system in Wu Chaoqun's mecha, wasted no time in reminding: "It takes 5 seconds, the group destroys 2,785 insects, the energy overload index is 35%, and you can also use 2 more Thunderbolt attacks." ”

"That's enough for me to make my money." Wu Chaoqun accelerated his sprint and collided head-on with an excavator insect weighing dozens of tons nearly 100 meters away.

With a heavy thud, Wu Chaoqun was catapulted off, and the excavator worm fell to the ground diagonally backwards.

Barely stopping, Wu Chaoqun had already jumped onto the stomach of the excavator worm, and instantly attacked dozens of palms at the exposed weak parts.

The excavator bug was pierced through the belly, destroyed important organs, and lost its combat effectiveness.

At this point, the other insects that were outside the burning radius of the thunderbolt fire swarmed up again.

Wu Chaoqun was unhurried, running and jumping, attracting the insect swarm to move in the opposite direction of the Cao family's father and daughter breaking through. The swarm followed as expected.

In a weak spot on the coast, four improved meat grinder mechs are vigilantly probing around the top of a hill in a defensive formation. Among the 4 mechas, there are 8 fearless team members riding in pairs, namely: Zhiyang Yang and Gao Dawei, Qin Huanchang and Liu Xiaoxiao, Du Ziming and Du Zihong, Black Bear and White Lion. They were arranged by Wu Chaoqun here to pick up the Fangcheng breakouts.

Zhiyang Yang controls a tiny drone to scout in mid-air.

Gao Dawei asked while nibbling on the crystal fruit: "Brother Yangyang, have you found it?" ”

"Not yet."

"Won't all the rookies in Fangcheng ...... Eaten by bugs, right? ”

"Chubby, you haven't figured out a common sense until now: insects don't attack humans for food, they may bite humans to death and swallow them in their stomachs, but definitely not for food."

"Not for food, then for what? You don't tell me they're for evolution. The results of the study show that bugs can evolve even if they have not eaten humans. ”

"They're meant to accomplish some kind of predetermined mission."

"What?" Several people marveled at the communicator at the same time.

"Zhiyangyang, according to your meaning, are the insects sent down by God to destroy us humans?" Qin Huanchang asked.

"100% sure." Zhiyang Yang looks mysterious with insight into the heavens.

"I don't care if the delusions of an otaku like yours are true or not, I can be sure that we will definitely defeat the bugs!" Qin Huanchang was full of pride.

"What if...... If only ......" Zhiyang Yang wanted to say, "It would be nice if the demon Captain Lin was here", but because Lin Zaishan's whereabouts are unknown so far, his life and death are uncertain, and it is rumored that he has already fallen by the outside world, everyone in the Dreadnought team feels extremely heavy every time they mention this topic, so over time, it has become a taboo. Gao Dawei held back for a long time, but still didn't speak.

Everyone knew who Gao Dawei was talking about, and at the same time fell silent.

Suddenly, Lin Fuzi sounded the alarm: "The drone has found nearly 700 human survivors in the southwest direction and is moving rapidly towards here. There were tens of thousands of bugs chasing after them. ”

"Ha, today's lord has arrived, and that hearty breakfast was not in vain." The black bear grinned.

"You robbed one of my nuts today, if you don't pay me back, I'll go to Master to complain." The white lion, who was riding in the same mech, made a threat.

"You two idiots, don't argue! Everyone obeys my orders, forms a defensive formation, advances at an interval of 20 meters, meets the swarm, and rescues the survivors of Fangcheng! Zhiyang Yang ordered loudly.

After a long period of rigorous training and baptism of war, the combat power of the members of the Dreadnought team has long been different, and they are not only able to take charge of themselves, but also become better at team fighting. The Dreadnought team has not only invented a lot of simple and practical new equipment, but also explored a lot of effective tactics. The joint combat strategy carried out by a team of 4 meat grinder mechs is an important magic weapon for them to deal with the swarm.

Of course, due to the limited knowledge technology of the Star Soul and the extremely difficult and difficult external environment, although the Dreadnought team touched the brink of a new type of war in the apocalypse, it failed to cross this threshold, so that it was always at a disadvantage in the face of threats such as the Zerg. They need magic, they need magic maker Lin Zaishan.

"Woooo", a newly emerged sturdy Airbus bug caught up with Fangcheng's convoy and dropped hundreds of guard bugs on their heads. The guards jumped on the roof of the car and caused trouble, dragging the entire convoy in an instant.

"Hit me hard!" Cao Da saw that it was the most ordinary guard insects, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the armed forces of the human race in the last days still have a set of methods in dealing with guard insects.

"Bang, bang, boom", after a burst of fierce fire, hundreds of guard insects were all annihilated.

Looking at the corpses of insects all over the ground, Cao Da gained a rare sense of accomplishment. After all, not everyone can have the experience of defeating bugs, even if it's just a small group of bugs.

His sense of accomplishment didn't last for 3 seconds, and 10 more bus bugs flew behind him, and it seemed that these air transport units were fully loaded with guard bugs.

"Hurry up and get in the car!" Cao Dada shouted.

The survivors hurriedly slipped into the chariot and moved at full speed.

The bugs flew overhead in no hurry and delivered the Guard Bugs in the same orderly manner as a trained human airborne troop - unlike human paratroopers, the bugs were thrown directly into the ground from mid-air, and they were extremely bouncing and resilient enough to cushion the impact of the fall - and when the bugs hit the ground, the bugs would return to transport other bugs. In this way, the bugs used this refueling tactic, which is extremely costly and inefficient in the eyes of humans, to drag down the Fangcheng convoy.

"Did these bugs eat their brains? Why do you have to use this perverted way to get along with our Fangcheng? When the convoy was blocked again, Cao Dacheng couldn't help but start complaining again.

This time, the number of insect swarms delivered was relatively large, and Fangcheng was not only unable to annihilate it, but was defeated with heavy losses, and its manpower was quickly reduced. In less than 3 minutes, more than 300 people were brutally killed by bugs. The rest of the men gathered together on chariots and cliffs to put up a desperate resistance.

"Dad, hurry up and use the energy protection array!" Cao Fangfei reminded loudly.

Cao Da immediately woke up, pressed the ring on his hand, and immediately generated an energy field with a diameter of more than 10 meters around him, barely protecting a small half of the survivors.

"Lord of the City, hurry up and let us in!" The people outside pleaded bitterly.

Cao Da was silently unmoved, "Don't blame me, the energy field is only so big." If you want to blame it, you will be blamed for your miserable life! ”

"Ahhhhh

Of course, the insects would not let go of the Cao father and daughter, and they tried their best to hit the energy field, causing the latter's load index to rise rapidly.

"Fei Fei, the energy field will be broken later, Dad is here to block the insects, you hurry up and run to the beach. Insects are afraid of water, and there may be a chance of survival when they go to the beach. ”

Cao Fangfei urgently shouted into the communicator: "Fearless team, fearless team, come and rescue us!" ”

"Feifei, don't bother talking. The person who answered the Dreadnought team probably won't be able to come. ”

Suddenly, a voice in the communicator responded loudly: "The 1st Mecha Formation of the Dreadnought Squad is ordered by Vice Captain Wu Chaoqun to come to respond!" ”

Subsequently, the huge figures of the 4 meat grinder mecha appeared on the top of the cliff behind the Cao father and daughter.

Zhi Yang Yang quickly scanned the battlefield and ordered: "Mecha formation, there are 3,589 guard insects on the ground, and the time limit is 3 minutes, and they will be completely annihilated." ”

"Roger." The four mechs jumped off the cliff in unison, trampling dozens of guard bugs to death on the spot. They began to strafe the air before they could hit the ground, killing hundreds of them from a distance.

The rest of the bugs rushed up. 4 meat grinder mecha tigers rushed into the insect swarm like sheep and killed all sides.

"Dreadnought team! What a dreadnought team! Cao's father and daughter almost cried with joy. At this point, the protective energy field shuts down on its own due to overload. Cao Da raised his mecha's right arm and ordered everyone in Fangcheng loudly: "Brothers, hit me hard!" ”

Liu Xiaoxiao and Qin Huanchang coordinated to command a meat grinder mecha to kill the insects near the cliff, and the former asked the Cao father and daughter with concern: "Didn't Chaoqun go to save you?" Why didn't he come back with him? ”

"Captain Wu said to stay and attract the attention of the bugs." Cao Fangfei replied.

"Is he injured or exhausted?"

"Nope."

//////

Three minutes later, the battle ended, and more than 3,000 bugs were wiped out. The crowd did not dare to stay too long, and immediately regrouped and continued to move towards the sea.

After 40 minutes, they arrived at the beach and ran north along the beach to Shencheng. The strength of the insects in this area is relatively weak, and the actions of the people are smoother than expected. It took them nearly two more hours to reach less than 30 kilometers from the Dreadnought's station.

"Hurry up and hurry up for another hour, and you can get to the Dreadnought Clan's station." Zhiyang Yang encouraged everyone.

The crowd cheered loudly. Either way, when it comes to Dreadnought HQ, the safety factor will soar even further.

Du Ziming suddenly reminded on the communicator: "Something is wrong! There is an ambush nearby! As soon as he finished speaking, an excavator bug appeared from the ground in front of him, and then thousands of guard bugs emerged from the cave; At the same time, swarms of insects appeared on the hills on both sides of the distance.

"Zhiyangyang, hurry up and give the order to retreat and take a detour from another direction!" Du Ziming's on-the-spot adaptability is much higher than that of Zhiyangyang.

"Okay, everyone listen to the order...... Zhiyang's order has not yet been announced, and dozens of bus bugs flew out of the clouds a few hundred meters behind him, and they were like hailstones, throwing thousands of bugs in an instant, completely blocking the back road.

"I'll go!" Du Ziming exclaimed, "Why do I feel that the insects are calculated and waiting for us here?" ”

10 Tens of thousands of bugs surrounded the crowd as if they were demonstrating, but did not attack. Of course, everyone will not be stupid enough to challenge themselves in this situation, which is basically equivalent to death.

"Dreadnought Headquarters, I am the 1st Mecha Formation Zhiyang Yang, we have received the survivors of Fangcheng, but we are surrounded by 100,000 plus bugs in the U34 area southeast of Shencheng, ask for support!" Zhiyang Yang hurriedly sent a signal for help.

//////

Sun Zhenghong has not rested since the rescue team was dispatched, and the whole team has maintained this level of combat readiness. The key players of the Dreadnought are on standby 24 hours a day in the command room. After receiving Zhiyangyang's distress telegram, an emergency meeting was held as soon as possible.

Lin Fuzi displayed the latest topographic reconnaissance map of the U34 area on the big screen for everyone's reference.

Sun Zhenghong said: "This is the on-site aerial reconnaissance picture sent back by Zhiyangyang with a micro-UAV, the number of insects is indeed 100,000, and a comprehensive encirclement of Zhiyangyang and others has been formed." According to the comparison of the combat power of the two sides, if the insects attack with all their might, it will only take 2-5 minutes at most to wipe out Zhiyang and others. Their situation is urgent, let's see what good strategies can be used to rescue them quickly and effectively. ”

Zhao Feiyan said: "Gao Dawei has the ability to leap through space, and he can order him to do his best to take the other personnel away from the battlefield." ”

Aqishi retorted: "Gao Dawei took away dozens of people at most before the energy overload, and the rest of the hundreds will definitely die. We can't do that until the last minute. ”

"That can't be buried with the elites of our Dreadnought team." Zhang Sanheng said. Since Lin Zaishan's accident again, Zhang Sanheng has lost his backbone, and he is no longer as enthusiastic about the affairs of the dreadnought team as before, and often vents his emotions with whining and anger.

"Why don't we take the risk of using helicopters to come to the rescue?" Yu Meiling proposed, she hadn't flown in the sky for a long time, and she had already felt uncomfortable.

At this time, Lin Fuzi sent an aerial surveillance picture: I saw nearly 10,000 sparrow insects divided into 5 or 6 formations patrolling near Shencheng along different directions and trajectories. Although the helicopters of the Dreadnought Squadron have excellent performance and strong combat power, they cannot withstand the siege of so many flying insects.

"No, helicopters don't have a chance in the air at all." Sun Zhenghong vetoed this proposal on the spot, "Let's see if there is any other way?" ”

"Then the only way to come to the rescue is from the ground." Akishi said, "Gao Dawei's current ability should be able to teleport me to the battlefield in a short period of time. ”

"Captain Ai, it's not that I look down on you, but the insects are really powerful, and I'm afraid it won't help you if you go alone." Sun Zhenghong said.

"Are we just going to watch them under siege and ignore them?"

"Of course not!" Sun Zhenghong ordered: "Master Lin, hurry up and calculate the best rescue plan!" ”

Lin Fuzi prompted with a synthetic voice while making quick calculations: "The prerequisite for the rescue is that Zhiyangyang and others can support the arrival of reinforcements, otherwise the reinforcements will be besieged in vain." ”

"How long does it take to get from headquarters to U34 at the earliest?"

"The 2nd Mecha Formation can arrive in 10 minutes; Tank formations can arrive in 20 minutes. ”

"10 minutes?" Sun Zhenghong's brows furrowed.

He was in a dilemma, and suddenly a report from Zhiyangyang came from the front: "Vice Captain Wu Chaoqun has returned." ”

"Supergroup is back?" Everyone stared at the big screen in surprise and saw Wu Chaoqun, who was dressed in a butcher mecha, standing in front of everyone and proudly facing 100,000 plus insects.

Sun Zhenghong said happily: "Chaoqun is a sixth-level powerhouse, and with him, he will definitely be able to buy a lot of time for Zhiyang and others." ”

Wu Chaoqun asked for a call, "Old Sun, I have already communicated with Zhiyangyang and Du Ziming just now, and we unanimously confirmed that this ambush is an important trap for insects, and the purpose is to stage a scene of encirclement and reinforcement at the door of the dreadnought team. So that we can't stand it, and we can't save it. I advise you not to send troops, we will try to hold out for a while so that Gao Dawei can take more people. Otherwise, we will be forced to fight the superior forces of the bugs without strong fortifications, strong firepower, and adequate provisions. ”

"This ......," Sun Zhenghong fell silent for a moment. He is now faced with a major choice, not only the life and death of Zhiyang Yang and the others depend on the order he is about to give, but the future and fate of the Dreadnought team and even the survivors of Shencheng will also be changed as a result. If Mu Tongguang was there, Sun Zhenghong could ask the latter to predict the outcome, but Mu Tongguang was being treated in Zhongcheng because of optic nerve damage, and now the two cities could not get in touch at all due to the signal interference of sparrow insects.

At this moment, the command room was so quiet that you could hear everyone's heartbeat.

Sun Zhenghong suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "Everyone: The reason why our dreadnought team is called this is because we are fearless in the face of strong enemies. No amount of bugs can stop our determination and courage to save our team members and lives! He said loudly: "All the members of the Dreadnought team listen to the order: I order all combat units to rush to U34 to rescue in echelons according to the plan arranged by Lin Fuzi, and the rest of the people will remain on first-level alert at the station!" Lin Fuzi, inform the other forces in Shencheng that they must come to the rescue as soon as possible. ”

"Roger!" The crowd, who had long been ready to go, immediately boarded the mecha and various vehicles and rushed to U34.

Sun Zhenghong entered a 20-meter-tall demigod mecha newly modified by the Dreadnought team, followed by Zhao Feiyan and others.

"Teacher Zhao, don't go today, the dreadnought team has to leave the fire."

"If we didn't have today, would there still be a Dreadnought?" Zhao Feiyan decisively refused, "What's more, if I don't go, you can't control the demigod mecha." ”

"Perhaps, today is a good day to die generously. Master Lin, let's go! ”
