Chapter 27: Ragnarok (5)

He couldn't believe what was happening on the hologram display.

If possible, he would rather believe that the instrument was damaged in battle, or that he was simply dreaming.

Because......

From the feedback from the image, he could clearly see that the giant worm raised its huge body, followed by the sudden opening of the abdominal cavity, and then flew out of it......

Honeycomb!

Hives that have never been seen since the start of the war, hives large and small!

There are hundreds of them, all with huge membranous wings, and at the same time release "worker bees" that are denser than locust swarms, each more than twice the size of the original! The original limbs mutated into sharp claws, and sharp sword-like stinging needles stretched out from under the belly with colorful stripes, and the mouthparts even turned into three, each dripping yellow-green mucus.

"Less, Major! What are these...... Yes! The dumbfounded murmur of a "thundering" pilot ended with a half-scream.

Because the mutant swarm had already attacked, countless insect bullets with golden light had already smashed towards them, and the speed was unbelievable, the poor pilot didn't even have time to maneuver the basic fighter, and his "thunder" was exploded in the air.

"It's a trap! Snare! Mahjodi stood up from his seat!

He has completely understood!

These damn zergs! Possess such a high IQ?! How can you design such a perfect trap?

How exactly do they do it!!

However......

Now is no longer the time to dwell on this issue......

"Contact the Empty Finger Center now!" At the communicator of the crew, the anxious major yelled almost desperately, "Tell Colonel Edward to request the 2nd Air Force to return quickly!" We need support! ”

But the answer to him was......

The correspondent turned his head with difficulty: "Report...... Major, liaison with the Mothership Air Command Center...... Interrupted ......"

Mahhoran is petrified!

This......

Is it electronic interference? Information masking?

Don't...... Are these crawlers......

Already, evolved to this point......

"Spread out! Circumvent! Fight back! ”

After some time, Maher, who had finally recovered from the shock, gave a desperate command into the microphone.

Desperate indeed......

On the hologram display, his air combat athletes, already using "Banshee" and "Thunder" to form an attack formation, began to meet these executioners armed with the most disgusting weapons.

As the "Sharp Knife Team" of the Air Force and the "Hero Company" of the brigade, they are also fully able to bear this reputation, just like a pack of wolves ready to hunt, and then decisively A down! Each clan squad is a sword that sticks to the center of the swarm.

Hundreds of Grimm electromagnetic guns and aerial guns roared in the air, and the intertwined nets of fire covered the entire battlefield, just ......

The damage to the colony is negligible......

Their guns are difficult to penetrate the exoskeleton of the mutant "worker bee". On the contrary, although these new "worker bees" are huge, they are more than several times more than the ordinary "worker bees" hunted by them in terms of speed, maneuver, and climbing, even if the pilots have brought their operation level to the extreme, but the fighters cannot keep up with the pace of the other party.

You can only catch up with the Grim Reaper!

All the fighters were like insects shuttling in a spider's web, and they were about to die on the spot if they were not careful, and the terrible screams were heard one after another in the communication channels.

And the same massacre was being staged on the ground at the same time.

With the appearance of the hive, on the sides and behind the Marines who were pouring fire in vain against the giant insects......

A roar of thunder began to shake the sky!

One monster after another emerged from the sand, all with curved fangs, green saliva from their mouths, red scales all over their bodies, jagged blades from their claws, murderous all over their bodies, their eyes like two cold orange flames, and the breath of death that swung through every pore could easily make any enemy lose their ability to resist the moment they saw it.

Then, the god-like giant insect let out a long roar that looked up to the sky!

It was a very peculiar sound, but it was extremely loud, as if two metals were rubbing violently, and people couldn't help but feel tooth soreness.

But these giant beasts seemed to be activated by this sound of some valve in their bodies, and like a beast tied to their heads and necks, and now the restraint was suddenly loosened by a light touch, and immediately let out an earth-shattering roar, and rushed towards the crowd.

The wails gradually spread into the ocean, and the behemoths cut through the longitudinal slices, quickly dividing and surrounding the marines, and then waving their huge claws and beginning to harvest life at will.

"Attack! Ten people in a squad! ”

"Hit the small first, hit the small first...... Yes! ”

"I'm running out of bullets!"

"Give it to me, hold on! You ape-men! Don't go back! Want to get my shot?! ”

……

Everywhere there were shouts one after another, mixed with the hoarse orders of the commanders and fighters.

But more often than not, there was the strange sound of bones shattering and body deformation, the sound of claws tearing through the air, the sound of mecha exploding, and the sound of bodies being sliced open...... All kinds of terrifying tones intermingle with each other to form a concerto that one will never forget once you hear it.

Command......

It was already completely chaotic, and the Marines poured fire on the giant beast in vain while withstanding the slaughter of the giant insect in their backs. Then I watched as a person of the same kind who was clearly the same as himself just now suddenly turned out the white bones, and then was pulled out of the still pulsating internal organs.

A soldier's half-cut body flew into the air. The other half was still crawling desperately on the ground, and various organs flowed out from the abdomen and stretched all the way to more than ten meters away.

In this Shura field, blood and flesh are cheaper than garbage.

Finally......

"We've been fooled! Evacuate! I don't know who shouted that.

So all resistance began to crumble after this sound!

The army began to turn back at once from all sides, at first by one man, but soon by two or three...... Immediately after, as if some deadly virus, an unprecedented rout instantly filled the entire army!

It's like a river thawing......

Everything began to be destroyed, divided, collapsed, collapsed......

Crowds of people rushed into each other and crowded each other......

And those terrible beasts flew in from both sides, just slashing, slashing, chopping frantically...... And so a new round of life harvest began.

Some tried to resist on the spot, but before they could raise their guns, they were cut in half, and then a new horror weighed on the hearts of the frightened birds, and the crowd once again fell into an unprecedented flight......

Everyone trampled on each other, pushed each other, shouted, and mourned! Competing for the road, lest they have two less legs.

And so on, a vicious circle.

It's just miserable.

But even if you are lucky enough to escape the pursuit of the giant beast, the way to retreat is still deadly!

Stretchable sharp thorns burst out of the ground, easily penetrating the flesh and blood of the infantry, and even those heavily armored infantry mechs and tanks were not spared, one by one, pierced, torn apart, and then exploded into a ball of fire......

Not to mention the tragic plight of those who did not have time to escape.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

On the other hand, in the huge space carrier "Ark" floating in the dark starry sky......

Rewind time a little bit back to half an hour ago......

The "Banshee" hurriedly stopped on the tarmac, and before he could even fully stop it, Qin Feng hurriedly climbed out of the cockpit.

"Hey, boss. Major Walker told you to talk to him right away......"

"Tell Major that I don't have time right now." Qin Feng shouted at the wingman Lin Yi who came forward without looking back, and stepped up his steps.

He had to race against the clock......

This is his determination on the way back, after repeated thinking and thinking, he finally made up his mind.

Because he really couldn't ignore the uneasiness that haunted his heartβ€”

Why, there is no hive?

Moreover, those "worker bees" in the target airspace are too easy to snipe......

He had never forgotten his nightmare, the guy who had been playing him for a long time with no speed and maneuver at all.

If that's the normal combat level of a "worker bee......

Then, the situation I am facing today is a bit too much - even if it is because the Second Air Force has strengthened the firepower and shields of the fighters, it makes no sense that even other turns, climbs, and dives have been enhanced, right?

So as their opponents, even if they still inevitably fail in the end, it is impossible not to escape, and be hunted together by a few or a dozen pilots who are not superior in numbers, right?

It's so weak......

It's just ......

A group of old, weak, sick and disabled!

The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled......

Yes, that's what worries him the most right now.

If these worker bees are just "old, weak, sick and disabled", then what is the real purpose of these alien zergs?

It goes without saying!

Therefore, the situation must be reported immediately, if it is reported to the squadron first, and then wait for the major to convey it layer by layer, I am afraid that everything will be too late!

Thinking of this, the young lieutenant couldn't help but feel a little more anxious.

It's just that......

He never imagined that when he rushed to the center of the empty finger almost out of breath, what he got was ......

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant. The Colonel was holding an important meeting inside, and had already instructed no one to disturb him. ”

The guard at the door politely but resolutely stopped him.

"But I have something very important to do, and I must see the Colonel at once!" Qin Feng emphasized.

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant. I can't let you in, this meeting is very important. And ......," the guard said, seemingly hesitating slightly, before finally deciding to tell the truth, "you are not a member of the Air Finger Center, and with your current rank, you are not allowed to enter and exit here freely......"

"Listen, man." Qin Feng took a breath and tried his best to calm his breathing, which had become disordered due to the vigorous exercise, "I know this is a bit unruly, but this matter is really very important, and it is related to the success or failure of the entire 'Ragnarok', so I must see the colonel immediately." ”

"But the colonel said you can't let anyone disturb you." The guard was quite embarrassed, "Why don't you tell me the situation, and I'll ......convey it on my behalf."

"It's not that I can't trust you, private." Qin Feng said, "But you have to wait until the colonel finishes the meeting, right?" What's the difference between that and me waiting here until this damn thing is over! ”

"But ......"

The guard frowned helplessly.

Although his hesitation seemed to be a little heavier after hearing the words "Ragnarok", there was still no intention of letting go of his steps.

But it was also at this time......

"What's so noisy out there?"

The closed door in the center of the empty finger was still pushed open, and Brandley Edward's burly and majestic body appeared at the door with a look of displeasure......

"Qin ...... Maple? The sharp eyes lingered briefly on the young lieutenant's face, and the colonel's face suddenly became a little gloomy.

Why is it him again?

What is he doing here?

This time, "Ragnarok" failed to take the opportunity to clean him up, which is already infuriating enough, and he still has to run in front of him to show off his might?

Don't you know that the person I hate to see right now is you?

"Is there anything wrong with you, Lieutenant?" The colonel controlled his emotions for a moment, and there was not the slightest flaw in his stern face.

"That's right," the guard hurriedly reported, "Lieutenant Qin said that there is an important piece of information about 'Ragnarok' that needs to be reported......

"Didn't I tell you I was in a meeting?" The colonel furrowed his brows, not angry.

This is not a lie.

He was indeed in a meeting......

After all...... Mach has not been able to be reached for an hour, and the ground forces have temporarily lost contact......

"It seems to be because the star of this galaxy has just erupted with a flare that interferes with normal communications, Colonel."

That's how the people in the distribution group explained it to him.

A flare is a manifestation of a sudden increase in stellar radiation, usually in an observation image, which usually shows a sudden brightening of an area. It mainly causes sudden disturbances in the ionosphere of the planet's atmosphere, affecting the shortwave communication environment.

Although, judging from the situation an hour ago, whether in the air or on the ground, the human army was victorious, there was really nothing to worry about......

However......

In short, contact with Mach must be restored as soon as possible.

"That's it, so I'm trying to persuade Lieutenant Qin ......"

"Persuade?" Edward raised his voice slightly, "Don't you know that absolute silence is needed during meetings?!" ”

"This ......"

"It's none of his business, Colonel." Qin Feng stepped forward, blocked the embarrassed guards, and saluted the tower-like man in front of him, "It's me who insists on seeing you right now." ”

"Oh?"

"Because I have identified some new situations that may have an impact on our operations, I ask for ......"

"Alright." The colonel waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Qin Feng's unfinished reasoning, "If you have anything to say, I want to listen carefully, what a major event it is when you were struck by lightning." ”
