67. Thorns
Didi Didi――
Rising to an altitude of several hundred meters, nuclear warheads flashing red began to fall.
The sea of worms completely flooded the outpost, and they were overwhelming.
Nuclear warheads that flashed red and made a rapid sound fell from the sky. In an instant-
A scorching white light erupted in an instant, hundreds of insects within thirty meters instantly vaporized, the earth shook violently, and a rumbling sound that was ten thousand times louder than thunder was transmitted, and a mushroom cloud rose slightly.
Wormholes, the soldiers have walked out of nearly a hundred meters. The cave shook violently, and a large amount of earth, sand and gravel smashed down on the head and face. The rear collapsed and spread, and finally closed more than ten meters behind him.
If they are slower, someone will die.
The shaking stopped, and the wormhole was filled with dust. Coughing sounded from all sides.
"Forward." Wang Yao's flat voice sounded at this time.
The long dragon in the cave continued to move on, quickly moving away from the dusty area.
"Levy, go count the survivors."
"Understood." Levy grabbed his rifle and ran back. Xiao Ban came back, panting. "Two hundred and thirty-four."
The tough guy unit was organized into a company, and the number of 300 was expanded to more than 400 after Wang Yao and others joined.
Wang Yao said: "Su Jaymi, can you contact the fleet?" ”
“…… Can't be contacted, no signal can be transmitted. Sujami shook his head.
Very good.
"Now ......," Wang Yao's flat voice came from the communicator in the helmets of the soldiers.
"We now have an extremely important task on our shoulders, and the future of humanity and our future is at stake. There is no doubt that the Zerg have intelligence. It's just different from what we imagined. Ordinary bugs are just a bunch of miscellaneous people who only know how to kill. But there is a kind of hypertrophic bug called the brain worm that has intelligence, and it can control these bugs. Now, this fat bug is right at our feet. ”
"The brain worm has intelligence, and it must be able to guess our intentions. Even if you can't guess, our airborne soldiers are enough to scare the timid brain worm enough. So the front will be full of thorns. Brain worms will send bugs to try to stop us from killing us and give ourselves time to escape. What we have to do is break through the thorns and catch it before it escapes. ”
"The other troops are responsible for life, and we are responsible for death. Let's go. ”
There was nothing exciting about the speeches to boost morale. Wang Yao's narrative is plain. The soldiers who heard this looked at each other, clenched their rifles in their hands, and followed the long line.
As Wang Yao said. They are responsible for death. When they die, everyone else lives.
After all, it is a wormhole where the brain worm passes, and the space is not crowded. More than 200 soldiers formed a dragon of more than 10 meters, and there were squads in the front and rear like tentacles to find the way and guard it.
There was no word all the way, only the miserable white flashlight shook. Occasionally, the casualty group in the rear will emit a suppressed grunt of pain.
Wang Yao walked at the front of the team, guiding the soldiers who were exploring the path at the front.
"I'm sorry about Athena." Levi took off his helmet and wanted to comfort Wang Yao.
"It's fine. Anyone will die. Wang Yao said lightly. Levy was accustomed to Wang Yao's indifferent face, and he didn't care. He glanced left and right, and muttered, "It's a little scary to be quiet. ”
Just as his words fell, a series of gunshots came from the forefront.
"Follow me in the second row, there's a bug ahead." Wang Yao snorted lightly and took the lead in running into the depths.
Levy waved: "The others follow!" ”
When I came to the place of battle, there was an empty cave, and dozens of insects were pouring towards the entrance of the cave. Wang Yao pulled the trigger. Tongues of azure fire erupted, knocking back a bug that rushed forward and waved its forelimbs.
With reinforcements. The entrance to the cave gradually resisted, and insect corpses covered the ground floor.
A soldier completely killed a struggling insect on the ground, turned his head and asked Wang Yao, "What should I do now?" ”
The caves are well-developed in all directions, filling the caves like beehives. It's hard to figure out the route.
Wang Yao didn't answer, but came to the side of the cave to look at the rock wall, and then came to the second hole. And so on several times. Wang Yao determined the direction and said to the soldiers who came to gather in the cave: "This way. ”
Wang Yao, who was the first to walk into the cave, shrank his pupils, and suddenly shouted in a hurried voice: "Come in, the insects are coming!" ”
Soldiers poured into the cave, so at the same time. Bursts of dense sparseness sounded from the cave.
The brain worm reacted quickly, and it was even likely to detect Wang Yao's intentions. And they are still nearly three kilometers away from the location of the brain worm.
If it is delayed any longer, this army will only be exhausted by a steady stream of bugs.
"How many wounded are there in combat effectiveness." Wang Yao's voice sounded in the communicator.
"Me!"
"And me!"
"I—I can fight too!"
More than a dozen hands were raised one after another. These were the wounded with bandages on their bodies, and even their entire arms and thighs were missing.
"You stay behind to stop the enemy, and the rest continue to advance with me."
Giving an impersonal order, Wang Yao continued to move forward.
"What?" The rest of the soldiers froze in place.
The wounded were prepared when Wang Yao shouted these words, helped each other to their feet, and shot at the insects that had already poured in from the mouth of the cave.
"Let's go, I'll leave it to us. I'm going to kill a few more bugs to avenge my mom, my family lives in Buenos Reeves, which was ruined by bugs. “
"Me too."
"The starship unit is responsible for life, and the mobile unit is responsible for death."
Echoes rang out one after another, followed by fierce gunfire.
They must move forward at an accelerated pace. Once the brain worm reacts, send the Zerg to surround it, and there is no way out. No one doubted the authenticity of Wang Yao's instructions. Sending people to death is precisely the tradition of mobile units.
This force is like a sharp sword, piercing into the heart area of the Zerg, advancing frantically. The cost is that the Zerg are more and more restless, and there are bugs everywhere. After countless soldiers remained, the number of large troops was rapidly reduced.
After ten minutes of spurging, they reached a position less than a kilometer away from the location of the brain worm. And there were only more than thirty soldiers left behind Wang Yao.
"It's almost there." Wang Yao's voice at this time gave them motivation, if they could, they didn't want to die in the Zerg lair. The speed has increased slightly. As long as there is no obstacle ahead, it will ......
The mutation protruded, Wang Yao ran in front, and when the other soldiers followed, the ground of the cave was sunken, and a behemoth with an oval back emerged from the ground, a soldier lay on its back, and the fire-breathing insects crawled out and blocked the cave to death, and the soldier on his back was even squeezed into flesh!
Sudden fire-breathing insects broke the team. Except for Levi, who followed Wang Yao closely, and a black soldier, the rest of the soldiers were all blocked in the rear.
"You go, I'll hold them back!" The shouts of outstanding soldiers could be heard from inside the helmet.
"Suemmie!" Levy gripped the handle of his gun and bit his lip.
"Gone." Wang Yao said lightly, turned around and was about to move on. (To be continued......)
