Chapter 283: The Beast Herd Strikes
At this time, William, the captain of the Courage-class starship, had regained his composure and gave the last order in his life, "I am William, the captain of the Courage-class 012 starship, the starship is about to be attacked by a meteorite swarm, I order all the crew members on the starship to evacuate immediately, may God bless you"
William silently prayed in his heart, hoping that the upcoming meteorite impact would keep more crew members alive, and also prayed for his family to hope that they would live better.
"You all evacuate, as the captain, I will stay in the starship and fight with the starship until the last moment"
"No, we will stay on the starship and fight the captain until the last moment"
The crew in the command room got up and gave a military salute to William, and then sat down silently back to their posts.
"Meteorite groups were detected, the number was more than 3,700, the average speed was about 15 kilometers per second, seven meteorites with a length of more than 300 meters were found, 54 meteorites with a length of 100 meters to 300 meters, and the rest were meteorites below 100 meters."
"According to the calculation of the trajectory of the meteorite, this group of meteorites is most likely to come to the meteorite belt around Jupiter, and the target may be the Federation fleet staying outside Mars, which has already issued an alarm to the Martian Federation fleet"
"The twelve electromagnetic cannons of the starship have been fully charged, please fire"
William calmly straightened the military hat on his head, and gave an order to the fire control crew, "All electromagnetic cannons lock on the seven largest meteorites and launch"
"Launch"
The order to attack was given, and the electromagnetic cannon on the starship fired 50-kilogram mass bullets one after another, attacking the largest seven meteorites.
A few seconds later, all twelve mass projectiles hit the seven largest meteorites, and six of the largest meteorites were shattered by the electromagnetic cannon, turning into small meteorites of different sizes and sizes, flying towards the darker depths of the sky.
"Successed"
It was a complete miracle that twelve mass bombs destroyed the six largest meteorites, and a cheer of victory erupted in the command room, and a bitter joy appeared on William's face, but his eyes were still fixed on the last largest meteorite.
"Alert, imminent impact with a meteorite directly ahead, 10, 9."
William calmly looked at the light curtain in front of him and said: "All the secondary cannons are charged, the target is directly in front of the meteorite group, start attacking, and sail to the largest meteorite in the lower left of the starship." ”
No one questioned William's orders, everyone knew what William was going to do, this was the last glory of the Courage class 012 starship, so let the starship shine more brilliantly
"Send a message to the Martian Federation Fleet and the Outer Earth Space Fleet, send it back together here, may God bless the Federation and bless the Earth"
"Goodbye my family"
The starship was like a big fish that had broken into the sardines, and the secondary guns around it attacked the meteorites directly in front of it, trying to tear a passage to the largest meteorite, but the meteorites seemed to have eyes, and the trajectory of the flight was slightly deflected, and they collided with the starship.
"What's that?"
Suddenly, a crew member pointed to the light curtain and shouted: "Look, there seems to be something on the meteorite."
All the crew looked at the nearest meteorite, only to see that behind the meteorite more than ten meters long, a white tail flame was spewed out, just like the flame spewed out by a human rocket engine when changing direction.
William had already noticed that something was wrong with these meteorite groups, but he couldn't say what was wrong with them, and now when he saw the objects hiding behind the meteorites that were suspected to be thrusters, he immediately understood.
"Send this message out."
Before William's words were finished, the starship exploded again, "Alert, the left chord of the hull has hit, and the hull is damaged by forty percent"
"Go ahead, the largest meteorite in the lower left of the target starship"
"Boom"
Another small meteorite hit the starship, from the starship there were a large number of objects were thrown out, the exclamation was transmitted to the captain's communication channel, a call came from the communication channel, and then the hull exploded, and some crew members were directly sucked into space, and in those areas where the impact has not yet occurred, many crew members have begun to fight for the rescue capsule because of fear, and there have been small-scale fights for this, of course, no one has noticed this.
Events on near-Earth Jupiter have been transmitted to the entire upper echelons of the Federation through deep space quantum broadcasting.
However, what happened near Jupiter, the federal top management did not announce it, but urgently mobilized the starfleet outside Mars to the incident site to block and destroy the discovered meteorite group.
Central Africa near wormholes.
A heart-palpitating beast roar broke the silence on the plain, and countless black-pressed beasts poured out of the wormhole's exit, and as soon as the beasts appeared, they began to spread in all directions.
"Alarm, alarm, find a large herd, start attacking"
The piercing siren also sounded around the wormhole at the same time, waking up a resting federal soldier from his sleep, because this was not the first time, these soldiers did not panic in the slightest, picked up the weapon placed next to them, and entered the combat position in an orderly manner.
When the alarm sounded, Zhou Yiling was sleeping in the trench, and when he heard the alarm, a spirit opened his eyes, and his spiritual power immediately spread out to the surroundings, collided with the beasts, jumped up suddenly, poked his head out of the trench and looked in the direction of the wormhole, and his face turned pale.
This is the first time Zhou Yiling has seen the herd of beasts with his own eyes, and in order to familiarize the recruits who have just entered the battlefield, the federal army has shown Zhou Yiling and others the previous battle videos, and also sent experienced veterans to explain to them the precautions on the battlefield.
But the beasts seen in the video are not the same thing as the personal experience, when the beasts run and kick on the ground, each time it is like a hammer hitting the heart, many recruits glanced at Zhou Yiling, the weapons in their hands kept trembling, and they were completely stupid by the beasts rushing over like waves.
"Are you still stunned to do something, do you want to be killed by the herd?"
"Pick up your weapons, shoot at the herd, and be careful to save weapons and ammunition"
"Attack"
There are already veterans who wave their hands on the heads of the recruits who are still stupid, and they curse angrily: "Look ahead, if you want to survive on the battlefield, you can't be afraid of death, whoever is afraid of death will die the fastest." ”
Xie Haotian ran to Zhou Yiling, stuffed a pistol into Zhou Yiling's hand and said: "Here you go, be careful, I may not have time to protect you, if you find something wrong, you can quickly evacuate to the rear."
Zhou Yiling didn't expect that she would be a deserter one day, but her task was only to monitor the wormhole, and she was not a combatant, even if she turned around and ran away now, no one regarded her as a deserter.
But in this way, Zhou Yiling couldn't help it, everyone else was fighting, but he ran to the rear, and he would be laughed to death if he said it.
Zhou Yiling is not the only woman on the battlefield, in addition to ordinary female combat soldiers, there are also many female awakened people, and Zhou Yiling can't go like this.
Zhou Yiling has also been trained in shooting, gritted his teeth and resisted the idea of retreating, looked at the approaching beasts, and slowly raised the gun in his hand.
"Bang Bang Bang"
When the bullet was fired, Zhou Yiling's inner tension calmed down a lot, and he found that he was not so unbearable and fragile in the face of danger.
After Xie Haotian saw Zhou Yiling shooting, a smile appeared on his face, and he shouted:, give me a hard beating.
The sudden attack of the insect tide in the middle of the night did not disrupt the plans of the federal army, and the appearance of the insect tide was not regular, and no one knew when the insect tide would appear, but everyone was too nervous to send out her anger, not the most against Zhou Yiling.
Zhou Yiling raised her hand to kill a few monsters, and the uneasiness in her heart became even more intense, because her mental power suddenly found that those fierce beasts that pounced on them didn't care about the human trenches in front of them at all, and some fast beasts jumped directly over the heads of some warriors, and then rushed farther away without looking back.
"What the hell is this?"
Many warriors looked at it, this situation had never happened before, and these herds did not even attack the army
Zhou Yiling carefully found that these beasts did not attack the army, but they did not attack the army in front of the beast herd, if there were warriors who were just in front of the beast herd, those fierce beasts would still slow down a little and attack the warriors who were in the way.
"Don't fight the herd"
Xie Haotian also noticed the unusual behavior of the beast herd, but he didn't have time to think about the strange behavior of the beast herd.
"Beware of concealment"
Xie Haotian pushed a soldier away from his side, and a fierce beast resembling a rhinoceros was like a running truck, with its four hooves rumbling on the place where the soldier was standing just now, and regardless of whether he had stepped the soldier into meat sauce or not, he ran towards the rear of the army without looking back.
"And such battles"
Xie Haotian was a little confused, this situation is not the same thing as what those veterans said, isn't it the right way to open his eyes when he opened his eyes today
"Shoot, give me a hard shot, don't let the herd storm our rear defenses"
A veteran soldier with red eyes and a machine gun in his hand crawled on the edge of the trench, and fired a frenzied shot at the rushing herd, but the machine gun in the veteran's hand went off for less than a few seconds before a monster like a Tyrannosaurus rex stepped its head into the earth along with its body.
"Don't fight hard"
Xie Haotian saw that his soldiers wanted to jump out of the trench and fight hard with the beasts, his throat and eyes were about to burst into flames, the impact speed of those beasts was too fast, even if the beasts had been killed, but under the huge impact, the corpses of the beasts would rush over and crush the soldiers to death.
Compared with the number of beasts, the number of troops on the four sides of the Federation together is not as much as one-tenth of the number of beasts, and the target of the beast herd's attack this time is not the federal army stationed on all sides, but more like a frightened beast, this situation often occurs in the earth's wild animals, usually to avoid the direction of the frightened beast herd's action route, and the federal army is just blocking the forward path of the frightened beast herd, and the number of casualties is suddenly more than when the beast herd attacks.
"Hurry up and ask for artillery support, we can't withstand the attack of the beast herd."
Zhou Yiling's heart was already cold, under her spiritual scanning, within a circle of several kilometers, there were groups of beasts running wildly, and they had already covered the position of the federal army.
"How can this be"
Zhou Yiling didn't understand a little, although the battle around the wormhole was tragic in the past, there were few federal army positions that were washed away by the beasts, but now, less than half an hour after the battle began, all the beasts were already within the limit of Zhou Yiling's spiritual power, and the federal army soldiers were drowned in the vast sea of beasts.
"What about our mechs, what about our planes, why haven't they appeared yet?"
"Fire support is needed here"
"My bullets are finished" A recruit dropped the gun without bullets, wanting to pick up the guns of the dead comrades next to him, but he didn't see it at all, his body happened to appear on the path of a beast's fangs, and the whole person was pierced by the fangs of the beast, and the beast shook its head with some disgust, and threw the body on the ground and went away.
Such a scene was seen by many active soldiers, who hurriedly squatted in the trench with their heads in their hands, and muttered: You can't see me, you can't see me, hurry up, don't come to me
Xie Haotian has more than a dozen steel needles three or four inches long pinned to his waist, this kind of steel needles are made of high-strength alloy, the weight is very light, five or six can be controlled at a time, and the attack range can reach more than 20 meters, if only one is controlled, the distance can be increased by two times, and the speed of the attack is comparable to that of a bullet.
Xie Haotian controlled two steel needles to fly quickly around him, as a close protection, there were two identical steel needles in the distance, shooting in from the most vulnerable part of a fierce beast, and then being controlled by Xie Haotian to fly out of the body of the fierce beast.
The pistol in Zhou Yiling's hand had run out of bullets and had to retreat into the trench, Xie Haotian blocked the entrance of the trench where Zhou Yiling was hiding, and did not stick his head out of the trench, but used the spiritual projection of Zhou Yiling in his mind to observe everything around him.
"It's too much, we're all going to die if we go on like this."
Xie Haotian found that there were fewer and fewer comrades-in-arms around him, and the support from the rear had not yet arrived, and there was no artillery support even as requested.
"I'm afraid there won't be any support"
Zhou Yiling's voice sounded in Xie Haotian's mind: "Those beasts have rushed to our rear, and we are now isolated, I'm afraid it's impossible to even retreat."
