Chapter XII
"No!"
Jack roared wildly, all the pilots of the mecha in the town are comrades who can be entrusted with life and death, and Russell is a friend who has played with Jack since he was a child, and he wanted to join the mecha team only with the help of Russell's crazy recommendation.
"Jack! I order you, fire! That's an order! ”
John shouted at Jack with a louder roar over the communicator, and as the leader of the team, he had to suppress his grief and give some unkind orders at these times.
Jack's mech stopped, and there was no movement for a moment.
"Jack! Fire! ”
John roared as he manipulated the mech to shoot a dozen incendiary grenades from the ammo box on its back, and began to cover the retreat of the surrounding mechs.
Liao Yu and Zheng Wei couldn't know what they said in the communicator, but after seeing the death of the first mecha and Jack's hesitation, Liao Yu pulled out the armor from the storage space without saying a word, and aimed at the nearest three Holger worm soldiers is a three-shot headshot, and at an almost close distance, the power of the armor piercing can still penetrate their heads directly with one shot. As soon as Liao Yu finished firing these three shots, Zheng Wei, who was standing on the back of the crypt spider, grabbed Liao Yu's shoulders and lifted him up.
At this moment, Liao Yu clearly saw that the muzzle of the Jack mecha was aimed at the ammunition box of the fallen mecha. In the next second, a terrifying explosion suddenly rose from that point, and the explosion not only turned the small half of the Zerg in the pit into torches in an instant, but also threw the mecha of Jack and the others directly into the air for several meters, smashing heavily on the ground, and running over a green blood path from the ground.
And even though Liao Yu and Zheng Wei had prepared in advance, they were still thrown several meters high by this shock wave. In mid-air, Liao Yu grabbed Zheng Wei's waist, put his position under Zheng Wei in the roll, and took most of the impact when Zheng Wei landed.
"Do you want to go now?"
Zheng Wei turned over and half-squatted on the ground, looked at the pit and asked. With the friendship between the two, he doesn't need to express some superficial thanks in words.
Liao Yu didn't even have the time to reply, he turned over and lay on the ground and directly expressed his opinion with action. He pressed his hands to the ground and cast earth-based spells on the top of the passages. The soft soil collapsed in an instant under the fire of 7 or 8 mechas, and only then did Liao Yu speak:
"You summoned a soul-splitting mud beast in the passage behind the collapse, it can be delayed for a while, and abandoning these main forces is likely to affect our future missions."
After gaining the strengthening of spiritual power, Zheng Wei's current summoning distance has been greatly increased, even if it is more than ten meters away, Zheng Wei can achieve the summoning without difficulty.
And at this time, Raphael used a long whip and a few somersaults came to Liao Yu's vicinity.
"You know?"
Raphael looked at Liao Yu, who was helped up by Zheng Wei, and asked.
"At this stage, it's not surprising that some of my own team members are there."
Liao Yu dodged the pounce of an insect soldier sideways, and slammed his fists on the top of its head with both hands, and its head was obviously dented when it landed, and its entire body collapsed to the ground. As the number of battles increased, Liao Yu felt more and more that his potential strength was constantly improving, and he could clearly sense that the bruises that had just hit him when he landed were about to fade at this moment.
Seeing Liao Yu's performance, Raphael's eyes jumped obviously, Liao Yu's current fighting ability was much stronger than that of him who only knew how to fiddle with magic on the Black Pearl at that time.
"I thought you should be very picky, maybe you won't find a suitable teammate until you reach the rank of captain."
"Sometimes after knowing a person, knowing his potential, of course, it is to start ahead of others to recruit him. X has more potential than many explorers have ever seen, X, this is Raphael. ”
Liao Yu didn't want to expose his relationship with Zheng Wei, and Zheng Wei took the initiative to say hello to Raphael.
"Don't care about the name, it's all code names anyway, it seems that you have a good impression of Su, don't you worry that this guy will die before he reaches the captain?"
Raphael was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What, dissatisfied with your captain?" I don't mind digging into a corner. ”
"Okay, as long as you can afford to give benefits, I don't mind."
At this moment, everything that the three of them can do has been done, in the face of hundreds of zergs, the individual strength of the three is nothing at all, counting Raphael and the three of them, they only killed less than 50 Holger worms, and they couldn't get up to 80 if they were injured, and now there are at least more than 500 zergs in the pit, if it weren't for the width of the passage is only a few meters, these mecha would have been completely submerged.
Right now, the three of them are working together to clean up the scattered zergs that have climbed to the ground, while observing the situation. Except for the dozen or so three-legged insects, almost all of the rest were Holger worm soldiers, and none of the other three classes required by the mission had ever met each other. Both Liao Yu and Raphael have reached a consensus, if possible, they still hope that the remaining mechs below can return to the base safely. Judging from the insect tide at the beginning, this is not like a mission that can be solved independently by explorers, unless the number of explorers in this mission exceeds 20 or more, and they have to cooperate with each other sincerely, otherwise they can only be completely killed by the number of subsequent insect tides.
However, although John and the others had never seen those strange three-legged insects, their years of combat experience still made them quickly suppress the sadness in their hearts, organized a fire line to divide the Zerg in the pit, and retreated in batches. At this moment, the two mechanical legs that resemble frog legs show excellent mobility, and without too much interference from the zerg, these mechs only need two steps to rise from the pit.
"Hey, we're evacuating, you guys go first!"
And John obviously hasn't forgotten the three Liao Yu who have special abilities, and before the mecha can completely climb out of the pit, he pressed the amplification button and yelled at the three of them. At this time, the three of them represent not only a new force, but also the world outside the defensive shield, and John, as one of the three captains in the town, has a much longer vision than the rest.
At this time, Liao Yu just dodged the attack of a worm soldier sideways, and at the moment of passing by, Liao Yu reached out to put his hand on the link point between the forelimbs of the insect soldier and his body, and his waist exerted force to overturn it to the ground, and the crypt spider immediately spewed out light white spider silk to tie it to the ground, and before the insect soldier could struggle, Raphael's long whip was accurately wrapped around the ends of the two forelimbs. The next moment, the edge of Raphael's whip suddenly became as sharp as a blade, and in just a few seconds of vibration, he severed a pair of forelimbs of the insect soldier.
When Raphael completely terminated this insect soldier, Liao Yu straightened up and took a deep breath, and yelled at John:
"John, do you have any news of our companions? If there is a bug tide in other places, I suspect that the Zerg will make a bigger move! ”
John heard Liao Yu's roar, and his rough and thick eyebrows were tightly twisted together, just like the rough mecha full of mechanical primitive charm in his hand. While using his right hand to control the machine gun to cover his teammates crawling out of the pit, he slammed his left fist on the communication button, and re-communicated with his comrades on the other side with a roar no less than machine gun fire.
Every second of the battlefield was precious, and within ten seconds, John's hoarse voice came out of the mech's megaphone again.
"Sue! Right now, there are large insect tides in three directions, and the shields in many places are broken in small areas, damn it, this group of disgusting crumbs seems to really want to give our baby a close touch. ”
John gasped and pressed a button on the right, and several smoke grenades erupted from the mech's abdomen, covering the last two mechs to crawl out of the pit, before he yelled through the broken rusty microphone.
"But the good news is that there is at least half the number of insect tides in one direction than we have here, and it seems that there is a guy with a throwing knife there who should be your companion, and they have already eliminated the insect tide and returned to the town, but on the other side it seems that there is not too much optimism, and there are huge bugs that can breathe fire. However, there was a guy who could fix the metal who helped Old Bette's group, and there were already members of the team rushing to help. ”
It's not that John's vigilance is too bad and he dares to tell the detailed battle situation to the unknown Liao Yu and the three of them, but that the Zerg is the common enemy of all human beings at the moment, and under the pressure of this external environment, there is not much room for intrigue.
Liao Yu immediately reached the feet of John's mecha with a short sprint, and on the way, two insect soldiers stopped in front of Liao Yu. Liao Yu suddenly stopped and turned around, as if dribbling guards, bypassing the first insect soldier, at the moment of turning around, his right hand grabbed the hind limbs of the insect soldier, and the waist and abdomen exerted force, directly picked it up and smashed it on the head of the second insect soldier, and the two fangs of the second insect soldier's jaw pierced the back of the first insect soldier without hindrance. Before the first insect soldier could open his mouth and hiss, he was stepped on by Liao Yu in the abdomen, and viscous green blood suddenly spurted out from the wounds on his mouth and back. Liao Yu took advantage of this reaction force to jump onto the waist of John's mecha, and then sits firmly on the right side of John's cockpit.
Looking at Liao Yu's skills that were far more agile than the Zerg, John's eyes showed a deep envy.
"Hell, how did you get these incredible abilities, is this thing energy-producing? Don't worry, I'll talk to the old mayor about the reward, we're not robbers, and in this era, we humans are no longer qualified to be robbers. ”
"We're the only ones left."
Listening to Liao Yu's understated words, John's originally expectant state of mind became no longer undulating with his short words, and even depression and sadness were difficult to surface.
"Well, what do you want to ask?"
In just a few minutes, Liao Yu had already finished communicating with John, and Zheng Wei and Raphael also came to the vicinity of John's mecha.
Liao Yu and Zheng Wei, who had just jumped off the mecha, glanced at each other, and saw the same decision in each other's eyes without any discussion, even if Zheng Wei hadn't listened to Liao Yu's detailed explanation.
"We are going to save people, there is one of the worst battlefields, John told me truthfully that the shield there has broken a large hole more than ten meters in diameter, thousands of Zerg have swarmed in, but their main force has also rushed there, John said that there should not be a major rout. I will not interfere with your choices, you decide whether to stay or leave. ”
Liao Yu said calmly to Raphael, as if this was a matter of course.
Raphael also knew that time was running out and made a decision after only two seconds of consideration.
"They haven't been able to lock down this place completely, and I'm not worried that if we all rush there, there might be fires everywhere."
At this moment, the remaining nine surviving mechs have all crawled out of the pit, but at the same time, the underground collapse has also been broken by the Zerg again. Raphael stared at the swarm below, hesitated but calmly confessed.
"There must be other bugs down there, these bugs and three-legged needleworms obviously don't have the ability to dig holes, and I still want to find out their properties and information, so I won't accompany you."
Liao Yu and Zheng Wei didn't give a face because of this, there is no interest and emotional relationship between the three of them, others should be grateful for helping themselves, and if they don't help, they shouldn't speak ill of them and slander them. In reality, there have always been many such people, once the request is refused, immediately the face changes, scolds, based on the moral high ground to criticize it, and even more tirelessly, it is known to everyone who exaggerates it and passes it on, as if they can't see everyone in the world to accuse the convenience of the person who can't sleep day and night. In the end, most of them are just taking advantage.
"Don't worry, there may be a presence like an ant queen behind those bugs, be careful. There will be a date later, and the town center will see you soon. ”
After saying that, Liao Yu and Zheng Wei ran in the direction given by John, and according to the distance, the two of them could reach the location John said in less than 20 minutes without losing too much physical strength.
At this moment, Zheng Wei sat on the back of the crypt spider with a tired face, and the crypt spider under his body had two huge wounds on his abdomen and right arthropod, and it was estimated that at most, he would stick to the destination and completely dissipate. Several summons in a row consumed most of Zheng Wei's spiritual power, and before Liao Yu arrived, he had already summoned several earth elements to protect himself, if it weren't for the fact that the spiritual power of the previous world had just been strengthened, he would have been unconscious by now.
"Do you think this mission is difficult?"
"It depends on whether the next few insect samples are good or not, if the probability is still so low, I'm afraid we have to be prepared to play with our lives again like the last orangutan monster island."
Liao Yu replied as he ran, this kind of speed was no longer a burden for him.
Just now, the three of them cooperated and obtained a total of 7 pairs of forelimbs that met Hantang's requirements, of which Rafael took 3 pairs, and Liao Yu and Zheng Wei each had two pairs. Most of these insect corpses were killed by artillery fire, and they basically couldn't meet the requirements of Hantang, and even Liao Yu killed them with fire magic and Zheng Wei's summons, and they were prone to broken forelimbs, after all, the first priority was to save their own lives before trying to do the task.
And the two didn't know that the environment Huang Jian was in at this moment was probably worse than the two expected.
"Ahem, mountain, ahem, can you still stand up?"
A faint voice came from the collapsing mech's cockpit, and through the broken cockpit glass, a white man could be seen lying on his back with half of his face soaked in blood.
Huang Jian had just taken out a bottle of pure water from his arms and drank it, and at this moment he was facing the cave with his back to the mecha, so he was not worried that the sudden appearance of something in his hand would arouse the suspicion of the natives of this world.
"It's okay, but I'm afraid I'm running out of power. If there is a failure next time, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do. ”
Huang Jian stood up from the ground with the repaired shield as he spoke, and at this time they were in a huge cave, and the pilot of the mecha behind him was called Mo Duo. When he first encountered these mechas, he had the same mind as Liao Yu and others, and at the beginning of entering this world, he still followed these mecha first, and then acted on the opportunity.
However, he didn't expect that the place where he was was actually the point where the insect tide in this world came the most rapidly, after the initial parity, as the broken hole of the shield became more and more wide, the Holger Zerg that poured in like a tide directly broke through the defense line composed of more than a dozen mechas. And in just a few minutes, the self-made crossbow arrows in Huang Jian's hand have been completely exhausted, and he has not had time to obtain any mission items so far.
Just as he was fighting and retreating from the mecha piloted by Modo, a large number of fire-breathing insects and some strange tripods suddenly drilled out of the ground. They work in harmony with each other, not at all acting on instinct, as Modo suggests, with fire-breathers capable of spewing high-temperature fire lines detonating the mines and missiles they drop, and then the three-legged insects climb onto the mechs under the cover of the rest of the insects and perform decapitation tactics on the pilot.
At the moment of the rout of the whole line, Modo decisively controlled the mech to run towards the outside of the shield, where there was a cave he had found by sneaking out of the shield range, which was large enough to accommodate the mech with retracted mechanical legs. However, just when he controlled the mecha to hide in the cave and prepare to counterattack, he was swarmed by the insect soldiers and crashed into the mountain wall at this critical moment, and the three-legged insect that followed destroyed the weapon and ammunition transmission device, if it weren't for Huang Jian's timely collision with the three-legged insect, and at the last moment, he used his ability to forcibly twist back the deformed device, I am afraid that the lives of both of them will remain in this cave.
And now, after clearing the pursuers, Modo used a machine gun to make a landslide, so that the two finally had some respite.
"Hey, Shanyue, where are you going, it's dangerous outside. It looks like a bunch of bugs have been eating it out, but the cave has been around since I was very young, so you don't have to worry about safety. ”
Hearing Modo's reminder behind him, Huang Jian turned around and waved his hand at him.
"I know you want to say that rescue is already on the way, but there is one person who I fear will live in self-blame and pain for the rest of my life if I don't save it."
As he said this, Huang Jian's mind came up with the slender and capable figure he had accidentally seen in the battle just now. He sighed helplessly, and finally left Modo with a back without hesitation.
