The veterans of the "kitchen knife" squad consciously stood in a circle without Craig's words, and fired fiercely at the outside of the circle, and the insects that came from all sides fell in rows like cutting wheat, and they couldn't get close at all.

"Detective, what's next?" HE-8 asked through the loudspeaker as he shot at the knock, "In a war of attrition, we will definitely not be able to consume the bugs with our thirty people." ”

Craig quickly glanced around, and found that the terrain here was open and flat, and there was no other barrier to support the position except for a dozen dead giant trees.

"We have to find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack," Craig said loudly, "The terrain here is too open for us to stop the insect tide from charging a few times!" ”

"There's a valley to the southwest," HE-8 said, "but the water is dry." ”

"No, it's too low," Craig refused, "Bugs can kill us if they smash them with corpses!" ”

"Inspector, there's a hill to the east," Lothar suggested, "about ten kilometers from here." ”

"How tall?"

"It's not too high, six or seven hundred meters." Lothar replied.

Craig glanced at the two drones hovering over the team, knowing that where the ground was high, the aerial firepower could be more effective, at least better than the river valley.

"Doesn't have a better suggestion?" Craig asked.

"There's a rocky hill to the north," said Lothar, "or go back and exit this sinkhole." ”

"Then go to the hill to the east, Lothar, and you lead the way." Craig pondered for a moment and ordered.

"Yes!" Lothar answered, "Come, brothers, follow and go!" ”

"The others follow Lothar," Craig ordered aloud, "divide into two columns and go at full speed; Pay attention to the flanks and keep shooting! Lieutenant Colonel HE, you take two people to take charge of the broken queen! ”

"Understood!" Lieutenant Colonel HE replied.

In the crimson "moonlight", the insects are still surging one after another, and from time to time they also "chirp" and roar twice, showing ||The "kitchen knife" team marching in the column was like a long snake monster wandering on the ground, from time to time spewing out long tongues of fire from somewhere in the body, and the powerful warhead pierced the night on the surface, and a strange insect would fall in response to the disappearance.

The ten-kilometer journey was quickly completed, and the remains of the corpses of the insects that had been shot along the way were scattered on both sides along the path of the "kitchen knife" team, and it would not be long before they were eaten by their hungry counterparts.

At the foot of the nameless hill, Craig found that the situation was much better than he imagined, the mountain was a solitary stone peak, quite solid, with steep cliffs on three sides, and a gentle slope made of earth, rocks and volcanic ash on one side, and the top of the mountain naturally formed a platform of nearly 1,000 square meters, but from the bottom of the gentle slope to the top of the mountain, there were nearly 100 insects.

"Attack along the gentle slope," Craig ordered, "get rid of the bugs on the gentle slope, and build up a position as soon as you take the hill!" ”

"Yes, Detective!" Lothar, who was at the head of the procession, replied that he led the team around the side of the hill to the side of the gentle slope, and then began to attack the mountain.

In the direction of the active volcano, about 30 kilometers away from the hill, a head gave birth to two red horns more than two feet long, and the snow-white four-winged insects were suspended in the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters with gorgeous translucent membrane wings, and were quietly overlooking the battle situation of the "kitchen knife" team along the way.

Witnessing countless low-level insects falling under the guns of the "kitchen knife" team, these high-level insects who have undergone several transformations and have begun to take on human form do not have the slightest mercy on their faces, for them, the same kind that cannot survive the fight is no different from ants, and they are not qualified to talk about transformation and evolution.

This snow-white four-winged insect is the lord of the front-line hive hidden in Area 837, Crick-2218, also known as the "cricket" baron, the more than thirty black four-winged insects are all under his command of the brigadier or knight captain, and more than forty kilometers behind them The active volcano, located in the middle of the mountain, several bottomless caves, dense insects are pouring out wildly, in addition to the agile and ferocious, often acting as scouts of the "Velocitor Worm", there are also huge and hard shell "Tank Bugs", as well as the largest number, different shapes, The "predator insects" that can never be fed correspond to the "flying insects" such as the quadroid insects, which are often collectively referred to as "terrestrial insects".

"Those two of their aircraft are a great threat to our ground forces," said Baron Cricket, in the language of worms, "which of you is going to get those two aircraft down?" ”

More than a dozen black four-winged insects scrambled to fly forward.

"虺-732," Baron "Cricket" half-narrowed his compound eyes, and glanced back and forth a few times at the dozen or so high-level insects that were eager to sign up, "Fly-1011, you two go, be careful!" ”

Being selected means that you can make one more military merit, and two military merits can be exchanged for a female insect royal jelly, and a female insect royal jelly represents an opportunity for evolution and transformation.

The two black four-winged insects selected were very happy, and they couldn't help but dance the "8" insect dance, and then their elytra fluttered, drawing two black arcs in the air, one low and one high, and pounced on the "prey" at a distance of 30 kilometers.

The low arc is Fly-1011, which first grabs the ground and grabs a "predator bug" and then carries it high into the air; The high arc is the X-732, which flies directly to a higher position and then swoops towards the two drones like a dive fighter.

"Guess which of them will succeed?" "Cricket" Baron looked at the distant figure of the two insects and asked in insect language.

The Captains and Captains of the Knights began to squeak in reply, with half supporting the Captains of the Knights of the Knight-732 and Knight-1011.

"In my opinion, both will succeed, but I'm afraid the price paid by Frog-732 will be greater," Baron "Cricket" lovingly stroked its long tentacles, "Frog-1011 will go better." ”

Here, the early warning radar of the two UAVs flying in formation has detected that there is a "big" and a small two insects in the air that are approaching at high speed from the side and rear in the direction of five o'clock, and their fire control radar quickly turned on the capture mode, while trying to lock on the two air targets, the antimatter engine of the UAV immediately turned on the afterburner mode and began to carry out a circling maneuver, trying to get rid of the unfavorable situation of being "bitten tail".

It's just that in the air, the mobility of the four-winged insect is incomparable, and I saw the elytra of Yu-732 flapping rapidly, and its body drew a "V" trajectory in mid-air, which immediately completed the action of cutting off the flight trajectory of the two drones from the inner circle, and happened to be at ten o'clock in the position of the UT-887 drone in front of the formation.

The UT-887 UAV detected that the danger was around, and was about to roll sideways to get rid of it, but the action of the UT-732 was faster, and it climbed on the fuselage of the UT-887 UAV with a side pounce, and the insect body weighing nearly a ton pressed the UT-887 to fall sharply, and the flight control system of the UT-887 took more than ten seconds to change the falling state and pull it up again, avoiding a crash accident.

At this time, the UT-886 UAV at the rear of the formation had adjusted its flight attitude, and its fire control system firmly locked on the UT-887 UAV's fuselage that was clinging to the UT-887 UAV's fuselage, and then the fuselage shook slightly, and two tracking missiles had been fired at the Yu-732.

"Die!" Seeing that the UT-887 pressed under him was still flying stubbornly, with no intention of crashing, he raised his whip tail and slashed it vigorously, and the sharp hook at the end of the whip tail directly pierced the hard titanium alloy shell of the UT-887 drone, and then the UT-732 flicked his tail, and the titanium alloy shell of UT-887 was crossed off a large piece, revealing the parts and cables inside the body, and the hook stab once again pierced and flicked the tail, and the hook stabbed once again pulled off a large number of parts and cables.

This drone is a sophisticated electronic device, where can it withstand such a toss as the UT-732, only to hear the engine of the UT-887 cough and gasp a few times unwillingly, and the fuselage is damaged and then falls uncontrollably after an electric spark.

Seeing that the attack was successful, Yu-732 immediately flapped its wings and flew away from the UT-887 drone.

"Finished?"

By the time it was too late for Yu-732 to realize that it was about to be attacked, two homing missiles fired from the UT-886 drone hit its back almost simultaneously and exploded violently.

"Boom! Bang! ”

"Whew!"

Yu-732 let out an unwilling roar, and then it was blown to pieces, and the wreckage fell from the sky like a scattered flower.

On the top of the hill, all the members of the "kitchen knife" team, who were strafing and seizing the time to build a position, witnessed the crash of the UT-887 drone and the volley disintegration of the UT-732.

"One drone was lost, it's UT-887, Inspector." HE-8 reports.

"Got it!" Craig replied that he immediately tried to connect to the UT-886 drone, but the communication channel was still paralyzed and could not be connected at all.

"Inspector, the 'Flying Worms' are dispatched," Lothar shouted, "and if our drones are lost again, then our air supremacy will be handed over." ”

"Can you connect the UT-886 drone? Lothar! Craig asked.

"No," Lothar replied, "the electromagnetic suppression isn't over yet. ”

"What about Lieutenant Colonel HE?"

"I can't connect either," said Lieutenant Colonel HE-8, "and now the UT-886 UAV is completely in a state of 'fully autonomous' mode of automatic flight, automatic identification, and automatic attack." ”
