"The mecha is badly damaged!"

"There are less than fifty combatants!"

"Only 30% of the backup energy is left!"

"Damn bugs are coming after you again!"

"Quick! Quickly cover the retreat of His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

In the dark corridor, there was a constant cacophony of sounds, accompanied by hurried footsteps and shrill roars. It wasn't until after the loud explosion that the entire corridor collapsed and everything returned to calm.

Gray sky, gray earth. The sandstorm was raging, and the endless wasteland was shrouded in earthy yellow, and there was not a trace of greenery in sight.

On the hill not far away, a black dot slowly wriggled, and it looked particularly dazzling under the baptism of raging wind and sand.

"Can't die! I can't die! ”

Rice reminded herself over and over again in her heart. But he knew better than anyone else that there was little hope of losing his battle mech and surviving on the Zerg-occupied Gray Rock Star.

Limestone Star, a bonanza planet under the jurisdiction of the Printon Empire, has a harsh environment and hedging air currents, forming perennial sandstorms. It contains abundant minerals and thin oxygen, and humans can survive with the help of special protective clothing, stay behind and mine minerals.

Limestone has long been an important mining area, and the Printon Empire has benefited greatly from it. But the good times didn't last long, and the claws of the Zerg extended, and before March, they conquered the entire planet with lightning speed.

A distress signal was issued, and the Empire sent an expeditionary fleet to help, but it was too late. More than ninety percent of the tens of millions of miners who were originally stationed on the Limestone Star were devoured by the Zerg, and only a few left alive with the help of flying machines.

The victims are numerous. The empire was furious, and the expeditionary fleet was ordered to clear it, and three mecha corps and nearly 100,000 soldiers landed for battle.

Battlemechs are powerful. The initial clean-up operation went smoothly, and countless Zerg were killed. However, what I didn't expect was that the Zerg that invaded the Limestone Star actually gave birth to a king-level female worm, which can breed soldiers and insects endlessly.

100,000 soldiers and insects every day, and constantly evolve and metamorphose, counterattacking the weaknesses of the battle mech.

There is not enough ammunition, and it is difficult to replenish the mecha energy. The three mecha corps that landed were under great pressure, the operation failed, and the evacuation of Limestone began.

Rice was unlucky. The Ninth Mecha Brigade of the Second Corps, where he belonged, was attacked by a large number of Zerg when he was about to evacuate, and the landing ship was seriously damaged, unable to leave, and stranded in Gray Rock Star.

The next situation was obvious, the 3,000 fighters of the Ninth Mecha Brigade were frantically besieged by the swarm. Fighting and fleeing, Rice saw a comrade fall and die at the hands of those disgusting bugs.

Reinforcements could not be saved. The entire limestone star is swallowed by the Zerg special class to send electromagnetic beams, isolating communication signals.

Struggled for three days.

The Ninth Mecha Brigade was dead and wounded, and there were less than fifty people left. The Zerg chasers locked on to the death and chased after each other. At the last moment, his comrades detonated their mecha nuclear energy center and blew up the shelter crypt, giving Rice the last chance to escape.

"I can't die, I don't want to die......"

Under the influence of the powerful shockwave, although Rice escaped, he was also slightly injured. But he shouldered the heavy trust of his comrades-in-arms, and had a strong desire to survive, and without any protection, he dug a way out of the collapsed crypt and escaped.

came out, in the face of a harsh environment, thin and oxygen-deficient air, it was difficult for normal people to support it for long, not to mention him who was physically injured.

At this moment, Rice felt dizzy in her head and a burst of pain in her chest...... These are the sequelae of hypoxia.

There was no food, no water, not even a decent weapon for self-defense.

He didn't know how he was going to survive?

What's even more terrifying is that the gray rock star has been occupied by the Zerg, and it is possible to encounter these disgusting guys at any time, and by then...... I have no way to live but to close my eyes and wait for death.

There is little hope of survival. But Rice has a strong personality and will never give up until the last minute. He crawled on the gravel ground, against the violent wind and sand, and moved forward inch by inch with his hands and feet.

"Find a safe place to hide first, and then find a way to contact the mothership!"

That's what he intended. In such a bad situation, it is not easy to keep a clear head.

But it backfired, or rather, Rice was unlucky. In the past, a landing ship was destroyed, but now that it is in a desperate situation, it has once again encountered a mortal enemy.

The rustling sound came from far and near. More than a dozen monster insects that were huge and similar to praying mantises were fast and rushed towards them.

Velociator!

One of the largest number of soldiers and insects of the Zerg, with a hard carapace all over its body, can resist Gaussian gun attacks, and is strong in melee combat, and is not afraid of death.

Rice only glanced at it, and immediately turned gray. On weekdays, he pilots a battle mech, and can deal with small stupores of speedworms without much effort. Now it is like encountering death, and there is no ability to resist at all.

Hiss......

The dozen or so swift worms seemed to have spotted him, and their hideous mouthparts let out a sharp and strange scream, and they approached at a rapid speed.

500 meters, 300 meters, 100 meters...... Fifty meters.

Even if the wind and sand are blowing, Rice can clearly see the swift worms, waving their sharp knife arms and pounced on him. The image of the body being torn into pieces of flesh and blood and devoured alive by this group of disgusting bugs has already appeared in my mind.

However, death has not yet arrived. In addition to the sound of wind and sand, hissing, and unintelligible words came faintly.

But when Rice opened his eyes, he found that the dozen or so speedworms had died not far away, and at the same time, two tall figures appeared in front of him.

Mankind!

Rice was the first to make a judgment. The opponent wears mecha-like equipment, and despite his tall stature, his human features are clearly recognizable.

Reinforcements?

He denied it in his heart, because he remembered that the empire did not have that legion, equipped with such a strange mecha.

After thinking about it, Rice mobilized the residual force in his body to activate the smart chip that planted the brain. His eyes began to glow blue, and the formatted screen appeared.

"Race, human!"

"Equipment, a bio-type mecha, powerful, with powerful recovery, amplification, and so on!"

"Combat ,?????"

"Genetic scan, it doesn't belong to the human race of the Pegasus galaxy, it is suspected to be from an alien galaxy!"

……

The smart chip analyzes the situation of the visitor, and the results surprise Rice. Before he could continue to investigate, two humans equipped with biological mechs had already turned around and walked towards him.

Chat as you go.

Rice didn't think about it, and immediately activated the chip voice conversion function, and immediately understood the conversation between the two.

"What the hell is this place, except for bugs, there are no farts!"

"Less nonsense! Ah, isn't there a person here! ”

"Aliens! Hee-hee, Kuroko, this guy doesn't look like the aliens shown in the Federation movies, with a thin neck, blue skin and a big head, and he looks ...... It seems to be similar to us! ”

"Movies are all lies!"

"That's right! Let's stop being idle, take him back to the Holy Lord!" ”

The conversation between the two guys, listening to Rice's ears, was too rich in content to digest for a while. Before he could think about it, his body had already been grabbed by one of them.

"I'm Lieutenant Colonel Rice, Captain of the Ninth Mecha Brigade of the Second Corps of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet of the Princeton Empire, may I ask which galaxy your Excellency is from......" He used the smart chip inverter voice to report to his home, and at the same time asked the other party where he came from. But before the words were finished, they had already been interrupted.

"Hey, this kid is going to say what we say?"

"Don't waste time, go, take him back!"
