The swarm completely surrounded the Watch base. The unimportant fortifications on the outskirts had been abandoned in the first place, and now they were doing everything they could to tear down the walls, the zantar insects spraying corrosive fluid, and the screaming praying mantis overhead was bombarding them in turn. The walls could withstand the blow, and Kassandra was directing an anti-aircraft missile group to drive away the incoming tide of screaming mantis. But Malaka, who was fighting on the front lines, knew it was only a matter of time before the swarm broke through the wall.

The Marines on the front line lined up and fired fiercely at the rushing swarm, the Spike Assault Rifle in their hands, the muzzle of the gun sprayed a dense barrage of spike bullets and incendiary grenades, and the fragile reptiles were broken into pieces, but there were still hard bones among them, and that was the Zantal worm.

The swarm propelled the corpses of their kind towards the base like raging waves, and the dense fire didn't work at this moment.

"Alternate retreat! Enter the fortress defense! ”

Malaka ordered everyone, they didn't expect the insect attack to be so resolute, and the roots could not stop the swarm from attacking only by placing dense fire at the narrow entrance.

But the Marines in the first platoon did not retreat, and their squad leader gave an order to the soldiers: "First squad, come forward to meet the enemy!" ”

This was to distance the rapidly incoming swarm from the retreating main force of the Marines.

When the first Zantar worm leaps into the Marines under the cover of the bug's corpse. Its carapace was suddenly full of fire, and ordinary spike bullets could hardly penetrate its hard carapace, and only depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets could kill them efficiently.

The Marines engage in a fierce exchange of fire with the Insects. The Zantar retaliates with corrosive fluid, and Malaka sees a Marine sliced in half by the Zantar's strong, sharp forelimbs; The other warrior struggled to be dragged by the Zantar worm into the worm's bloody jaw, and it wasn't until flesh and fire splattered out of the worm's jaw, blasting the whole of the Zantar worm to pieces, that Malaka felt a hint of cold relief. At the last moment of his life, the Marine detonated a grenade and died with him.

The Marines alternated covering the retreat, keeping as much distance as possible from the bugs. However, the appearance of the Ineria changed the long-range firepower advantage that the Marines had. Hidden in the bony plates beneath their carapace are numerous armor-piercing vertebral needles, capable of firing at enemies coming in from the air or from the ground. The Marines shot in the face without cover as if they were soldiers who had been shot in line centuries ago.

"Second Squad, hold the line! Cover the retreat of friendly forces! ”

Malaka had a deep sense of powerlessness at the moment. He did not have a subtle command to save the fighters. And his warriors were very conscious, and volunteered to stay and fight for the survival of their allies with their lives.

"Retreat, retreat as soon as possible! Back at the fortress line, we regrouped. ”

The fortress line, as the name suggests, is a line of defense built with a string of fortress fortifications. It was designed to handle large-scale biter attacks. The buildings along the entire line of defense are equipped with the latest style of composite armor, which minimizes the effect of the corrosive fluid of the bugs. But at the same time, this line of defense is also full of anti-aircraft cannons, which makes the base's rare anti-aircraft fire exposed to the dual pressure of both ground and air forces of the swarm.

Maraca didn't expect the first line of defence to lose so quickly at first.

"This is the fortress defense line at the entrance to the missile base, there are too many swarms, and they also have a large number of air troops. Commander, we need support! “

After waiting for a while, Ji Tianping's voice signal was connected.

Ji Tianping: "The fortress defense line has been lost? ”

"No, not yet, but there are too many bugs, not only creepers, but also inert worms that can shoot bone spurs, and zantar worms that are harder than steel, and we probably won't be able to hold the line......."

Ji Tianping: "Then wait a little longer, my team here is a firefighting team, and I won't be dispatched until there is a crisis." ”

Malaka: "Commander, you can't die without help, hey! Feed! ......”

Ji Tianping turned off the communication on Malaka's side, because at the same time, in the direction of the starport of the watch base, there was also news that the insect swarm was attacking. The battle in Starport was sudden, and the wormway dug a passage under the fierce battlefield. The giant creature stretched itself to an astonishing length, creating a passage from its own flesh. The swarm entered the passage through the tunnel and weaved through the creeping and chemical irritants of the passage at breakneck speed, attacking the rear of the Marines.

Under the attack of the swarm, there was hardly a single living hole left. Everywhere on the ground, you can see the battle armor that was still worn by the living marines. Some of them have turned into mud under the action of corrosive fluids, and fire points such as twin machine guns have been honeycombed by the screaming mantis. Others were scalpel-like cuts, and the warriors were chopped to pieces by the blades of reptiles and inertia. The lifeless corpse lay there quietly.

But the Marines were not all wiped out.

Renault and his few dozen remaining marines desperately defended the armored batteries in the starport, stopping the insects that continued to pour into the port. At this moment, Ji Tianping and the marines had broken their back roads, and the double-edged battleship trembling in the hangar could not force it to take off under the threat of the swarm.

Renault: "Commander, the bugs have stormed the starport, endlessly, from the bridge between the outer positions and the starport. I gathered all the brothers who were still alive and guarded the swarm at the armored battery, but they still broke in. ”

Ji Tianping: "Received, I have seen your combat video, and I don't blame you." ”

"Commander, I have failed your trust, I ......," Renault blamed himself in the signal channel.

Ji Tianping: "Don't say it again, continue to hold on to your position now, and the rescue will come later." ”

Hanging up the communication, Ji Tianping turned his head and shouted to the good brothers around him: "Let's go, let's go surround the swarm!" ”

Ji Tianping was not going to take these 400 people to Tiannuo's big interstellar port, but directly led these 400 people to block the bridge and block the follow-up support of the insect swarm. As for daring to formulate such tactics, it is naturally because there is a certain dependence.

Because at this time, the system uncle finally appeared in Ji Tianping's mind in time, and made a prompt sound of "ding-".

System: "The good brothers of the ——, host have accumulated 2,000 kills, three types of bugs, the commander level is upgraded to level 2, the tech stimulant and bulletproof shield are unlocked, and the support class medical transport is unlocked." ”
