The muzzle of the gun is aimed below, there is no need to aim, just pull the trigger, the eight tubes turn quickly, and a blue tongue of fire erupts from the muzzle, turning into a barrage and sweeping over, and the front of the insect beast immediately turns on its back.

The insects and beasts are too dense, so dense that they can hit as long as they are aimed in the direction and close their eyes, the eight-tube pulse machine gun firepower is super fierce, and the eight barrels rotate quickly, and hundreds of bullets can be sprayed in an instant, just one can form a barrage, suppressing the insects and beasts at a short distance.

But there are too many insects and beasts, and the distance of several hundred meters illuminated by the searchlight alone is full of dense insects and beasts, going forward and forward, as if there is no end.

This is the case at close range, and he doesn't know how many there are at a distance, and he suspects that the insect and beast tide is estimated to be one or two kilometers away.

Standing on the city wall and looking at the endless ocean of insects and beasts below, I feel like I am on an isolated island, and like a small boat in a rough sea, there is a danger of capsizing at any time.

Relying on the super firepower of the interstellar era, coupled with the artillery support in the base, it was temporarily able to withstand the attack.

This base is quite perfect, the defense facilities are very complete, the outer wall is covered with defensive weapons, not to mention, there are many ion cannons inside the base, all built on the top of the internal buildings of the base, condescending.

In addition, the two main battle tanks were raised on a platform to be flush with the outer wall, and two medium-sized ion guns were aimed at the outside of the city.

The medium-sized ion cannon is very powerful, of course, it is used to deal with stinging snakes that are too far away, and it is too wasteful to bombard insects and beasts.

"No reason!"

Although it seemed that it was easy to keep the insect and beast tide out of the base, Ye Qing didn't look too happy.

This army of insects and beasts seems to be a lot of people, but it does not have a decisive force, that is, there are no high-level zergs, and the highest ones are only stinging snakes, but this cannot break through the base, so the problem comes.

With so many insects and beasts attacking the base, if you don't think that the purpose is to break through, it will be sent to death, which is unreasonable.

If there is a leader behind the insect beast, there will definitely be, the Zerg race itself controls all the insect swarms with a leader, if there is a leader, after so many temptations, there is no reason to be so stupid to use cannon fodder to send them to death.

Cannon fodder is also useful, even if the cannon fodder is no longer valuable, it is not so wasteful, there must be a strategic purpose for the loss of cannon fodder to be valuable.

In other words, as long as the IQ of the leader behind the swarm is normal, then the death of so many insects and beasts in front of him must have a purpose.

Ye Qing was puzzled by this, he was thinking about the purpose of the head of the insect beast, or what he wanted to do at such a time of using cannon fodder to attack.

It's just that he thinks about it, but he still can't figure out what the use of this is.

The attack of insects and beasts is endless, and it has not stopped since the beginning of the attack, and the cannon fodder of insects and beasts rushing to the base like a tide, and the base has to fight back, and everyone does not stop for a moment.

Fortunately at first, it doesn't take much effort to manipulate the weapon, most of the weapons in the interstellar era belong to energy weapons, there is no recoil, the weapon is not heavy, it only needs to be defended, and the power is not consumed much.

However, the mental loss is a bit large, everyone needs to concentrate all their energy, and after a long time, the mental loss is too great, and it will be a little tired.

At first, I could hold on, especially under the suppression of insects and beasts, everyone had to cheer up and be able to bear it, but if this kind of battle was to continue, the result would be... Wait, Ye Qing suddenly felt as if he had caught something, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely, it was too outrageous.

Shaking his head, he put the thought behind him and focused on the battle.

The battle has not stopped since the night, in the middle of the night, most of the night, until the early hours of the morning, the insect tide has not stopped, as if there is no end, the outside of the base is full of insect and beast corpses, killing I don't know how many piles of old high, forcing the base to launch incendiary bombs or use flamethrowers to burn the insect corpses, otherwise too many piles will be piled up to the height of the outer wall.

By dawn in the early hours of the morning, everyone was a little tired, but the attack of the insects and beasts had no effect, and I don't know how many insects rushed to the base from all directions, forcing everyone to continue to defend.

What made Ye Qing most uneasy was that the base was a bit large, and it was besieged from all sides, forcing them to put everyone into battle, except for a small number of necessary logistics personnel, everyone was involved in the battle, including the commander of Second Lieutenant Vent.

When the morning dawned, the scenery in the distance could be seen, and everyone was frightened by the almost endless insects and beasts that spread all over the mountains.

At night, you can only see the close range and feel nothing, and when you can see more than ten kilometers away with a telescope during the day, you will know how many insects and beasts are besieging the base.

Ye Qing was immediately called back to the base command center by Ensign Vent, pushed the door open, there were only five people, and as soon as he came in, Lieutenant Vent said:

"There's no need to wait, Sergeant Cassie and Sergeant May died in battle, and I have summoned you here to discuss one thing with you in addition to reassigning tasks."

He went to the window, pulled out the curtains, looked outside, turned back and said:

"Sergeant Cassie and Sergeant May died in battle, and I will lead the second team for the time being, and the third team will be commanded by Corporal Rock."

After speaking, he looked at the other officers.

Several other officers did not speak, and the arrangement of the second lieutenant Went was completely reasonable, and they had nothing to say.

In human armies, if a commander dies in battle, the adjutant automatically takes over the command, and if the adjutant dies in battle, the person with the highest rank automatically takes command, and so on.

Now there are only a few officers in this task force, and two of them died at once, and Ye Qing, who had nothing to do, was brought up without any objections.

Of course, it's only a temporary command, only valid in this dungeon, leaving the fifth ecological park, his military authority will be withdrawn, unless he performs well in this operation, or completes the task assigned by the military department, then it will change from temporary to official, if he can really get the so-called Sarnaga relic back, maybe the military rank will be promoted.

He had no room for refusal, nor did he have the idea of refusing, and immediately stood up and gave a military salute to accept the appointment on his behalf.

Ensign Went nodded in return, and as soon as the conversation shifted, he immediately moved on to something else, and with a wave of his hand, a virtual light screen appeared on the wall, with a shocking picture on it.

It may have been photographed by satellites, this is a big mountain, a barren mountain estimated to be dozens of kilometers in diameter, and there is no green on the mountain, it is all bare red and yellow rocks.

The mountain is not the point, the point is that on this mountain, there are many caves of different sizes, countless dense insects and beasts crawl in and out of the holes, and the entire giant peak with a diameter of tens of kilometers and kilometers high is all like this, and it looks like a beehive from a distance.

Ensign Went pointed to the picture and said:

"This is the picture taken by the satellite last night, the satellite was shot down as soon as it was dawn, and there are only a few photos."

He flipped through the photos one by one and took them from all angles, one of which Ye Qing saw that on the top of the mountain was a cave like a crater, and there was a blue beam of light shooting out of it, because of the angle, he didn't shoot the innermost thing, but it was certain that this mountain must be the lair of the Zerg.

Ensign Wendt's answer also confirmed his conjecture:

"It was this beam that destroyed the temporary satellite, and judging from the parameters obtained at the end, the power of this beam can be shot into space and can pose a threat to the starship."

... Ye Qing didn't speak, just listened.

Ensign Vent had a very serious expression on his face and said:

"We must send the news from here back to the expeditionary force base, so that the base can send more reinforcements, otherwise we will definitely not be able to hold out for long with our current capabilities!"

"We can't get the information back now?"

An officer asked, and Ye Qing also wanted to ask.

Second Lieutenant Went shook his head:

"No, I came here to know that this place has been blocked by a strange force, and we have to go back to the vicinity of where we entered this planet to connect to the base."

As soon as his voice fell, no one spoke.

Obviously, this is a mission, and someone needs to leave the base and return the same way, and after seeing the number of insects and beasts, several plot officers should not have the courage to do so.

Of course Ye Qing would not take the initiative, this kind of task was very dangerous for him, and he would definitely not be willing if it was not necessary.

However, I don't know if it's the arrangement of the reincarnation space, whenever at this time, someone needs to complete a dangerous task, the first thing that the plot character thinks of is definitely the reincarnation, not the plot character.

He wondered if this was the space that gave the reincarnation a chance by default, and the plot characters would subconsciously favor the reincarnation when making this choice.

This is certainly a good thing at other times, but it is not a good thing in this case.

Second Lieutenant Wente looked at Ye Qing, he knew that he must have not run, sighed in his heart, and immediately stood up and said loudly:

"Let me go!"

Rather than being mentioned, it's better to be decisive and leave a good impression.

As he had guessed, Ensign Went saw that he knew him so well, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and nodded with satisfaction:

"You really didn't disappoint me, if you can complete the task this time, I will ask for credit for you."

As soon as the voice fell, a reincarnation mark prompt sounded, and when I opened it, it was a task:

"Side Mission: Deliver a Message."

"Mission description: Return to the waypoint, inform the expeditionary force base of the task force's predicament, and request support."

"Hint: You must complete the mission before the base is breached."

"Reward: 30 Fame, 3 Merit Points."

"Failure Penalty: None."

The great luck in the misfortune is that there is no punishment for mission failure, and it is estimated that the reincarnation space thinks that mission failure must be dead and there is no need for punishment.

"You can take an armored fighting vehicle and nine soldiers and go now."

Ensign Went patted him on the shoulder.

Ye Qing stretched out his hand and saluted, turned around and exited the room.
