"Captain, the enemy has broken through the defenses of Sector C!"

The bad news came that the enemy's offensive was more fierce than expected. As the defenses are breached, if they cannot be contained, sooner or later the whole ship will fall.

To add insult to injury, there was another enemy transport ship, bringing in more enemy marines. This is tantamount to crushing this battleship, the last straw.

The soldiers of the Tyranid Empire are very brave in battle. However, in the face of many enemies, they are still losing and retreating, and they can only defend their strongholds to resist.

As time passed, the fierce battle gunfire could be heard clearly even by the people in the ship's command. A Marine officer reported to the captain: "The enemy has reached the central corridor, we will resist to the death with all our might, Your Excellency the captain, please abandon the ship quickly!" ”

The troops that invaded the ships were all the regular main forces of the enemy, and their combat effectiveness was not bad. Moreover, it has a certain numerical advantage, and soon has a suppressive advantage over the land troops of the Tyran Empire in terms of firepower.

Not only this battleship, but in fact, other Imperial warships also encountered a similar situation. Although the battle was quite heroic, in the face of the more dominant enemy forces, the fight was really more than enough and not enough.

The captain's face showed a look of pain, and inside the ship's command room, after hearing the news, everyone was even more silent, only the loud gunshots outside kept coming here.

Looking at everyone's silence, the captain may also understand that it is time to say something: "Brothers and sisters, I am very happy to spend the years on the ship with you. But now everyone has heard that the enemy, using the tactics of seizing ships and decapitating them, has already penetrated. Staying here is a dead end! ”

It's certainly no joke, whether the enemy destroys the core or storms the command room, it's hard for anyone here to survive.

Of course, the commander of the ship was unwilling, and when he saw everyone dying here like this, he said: "Now in order to ensure that the ship will not fall into the hands of the enemy, I have decided to start the self-destruction procedure of the ship. Please leave here immediately and evacuate to the escape area! ”

The Tyranid Empire has a clear rule that in order to ensure that ships are not captured, they must activate the self-destruction system before they are captured by the enemy. It's a program that, once started, is almost impossible to reverse. It will detonate the entire battleship, leaving no data behind, ensuring that it will not be captured by the enemy.

This is an order from the captain, so it means it's over. Now everyone here must leave, or they will have to be buried together.

Following the captain's orders, the members of the command room began to leave through an emergency passage in an orderly manner. But just when the last person was about to enter the emergency passage, he saw that the captain was still sitting in his place unmoved? Seems to be in a daze?

A man walked up to the meeting and asked, "Captain, aren't you leaving?" ”

The captain shook his head and reached out to touch the panel, the texture of the metal was very strong. He stayed where he was and said, "I was born into an old naval family, and there is a saying in the family motto: the ship is there, the man is there; Ships are wrecked, people are killed! ”

From the perspective of the Tyranid Empire, there is no important person who will not lack the heart and eyes to commit suicide. After all, warships can be built, but people cannot be resurrected when they die. What's more, if you are a qualified captain, such a talent is even more rare!

However, for this captain of ancient birth, he was nurtured by his family. And perhaps it is also in the feeling of his own ship, choosing to follow the ancient family motto.

Seeing the captain's thoughts, others felt incredible: "What age is it now, how can you still think of living and dying with the ship?" ”

No matter how majestic a starship is, how much essence it condenses into a civilization, in the end, it is just a tool. How can you joke with your own life?

But the captain had already made up his mind: "You don't need to persuade me, anyway, people always have to die, die for their beliefs, and this is a well-deserved death, right?" ”

The captain took a key to the ship from his body, inserted it into a jack in the captain's console, and twisted it hard. Open a device under the panel, as long as the parameters are set, the self-destruction program of the battleship will be activated.

Seeing this step, everyone knows that this captain has made up his mind. The last one gave a solemn military salute to the captain and hurried to evacuate.

Throughout the ship, gunfire and sirens rang out: "Alarm, the ship will self-destruct in a minute - alarm, the ship will self-destruct in 59 seconds - "

This free time gives the people inside the hull a little time to evacuate. You can enter the nearest escape pod, and you can use the escape program to eject and escape.

Zaf, who was fighting on the ship, was frightened when he heard that the ship was going to self-destruct. The Marine Commander shouted: "Quick! Let's go, let's get into the escape pod! ”

Escape pods, in order to facilitate escape, are scattered all over the ship, and there are enough of them that there is almost no use of them. This is a lesson that the whole world has learned since the sinking of the Titanic.

However, these escape pods can't be used by mechas, so Zaf immediately communicated briefly with other mecha squads: "Leave from the nearest external passage!" ”

The problem here is that the Marines can leave directly in the escape pod, but if they want to leave, they will need to pass through many obstacles. Especially with the enemy forces on the ship!

"Kill it!"

In order to survive, Zaf can only choose to fight.

There is no need to think about saving bullets, and when you encounter an enemy, you will shoot wildly, and you will kill a bloody way. However, these obstacles have also greatly slowed down the evacuation.

Time passed bit by bit, and finally entered the countdown - 5!

"Quick! There's an exit! ”

It was a gap that appeared because of the explosion.

4！

But at this time, someone found that the size of this gap was still not enough for the mecha to pass through.

3！

"Damn, everyone, use tactical missiles!"

2！

In an instant, several tactical missiles were fired in a salvo, these are all missiles used in peacetime to deal with mechas, and the main thing is high-explosiveness. I don't know how well the armor-piercing power is?

1——

The missiles slammed into the gap, and the flames of the explosion could only dissipate. But at the same time, the whole ship shuddered. From inside the core of the ship, self-detonating flames erupted, and the entire battleship began to dismember!

Zaf pushed the power of the thrusters to the top speed - almost turning into a shadow of light.
