Chapter 13: The Hidden Mission Begins
In the large population system of the Araqi War Bug, this highly effective bug not only has a large number of hand-to-hand combat types. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 There are also some types that can attack from a distance, such as the fire beetle that sprays chemical flames, the type that can self-detonate, and the type that flies.
Of course, among these bugs, the most frightening one is the plasma bug that can release plasma bombs. This kind of Arachi war insect is a heavy attacking unit, not only has the largest size and defense, but also has a unique and powerful attack power, which is also an existence that will make any opponent feel fearful.
This plasma worm is capable of spraying extremely destructive plasma bombs from its body. This biological weapon is so powerful that it can even destroy human warships in orbit in space.
Of course, because the size of these bugs is too large, their adult bodies will only move in various planets. When the Arachi Worms deal with incoming enemies, these big guys will appear to unleash devastating ranged strikes against the enemy.
If you are hit by the plasma bombs of these Araqi war bugs, the only way to end up is to die without a corpse.
However, there are exceptions to everything, such as in "Starship Troopers: Invasion", there was a small plasma bug. It is about the same size as a normal Araqi War Bug, and is capable of spraying small plasma bombs. It can be said that it played a role similar to that of self-propelled artillery in the Zerg army.
The plasma bomb that flew over at this moment was sprayed from the tail of a small plasma worm. The pale blue plasma ball quickly crossed an arc in the air, directly hitting the 303 armor piloted by a Self-Defense Force soldier.
The powerful high-temperature plasma burned the Haizi 303 armor almost instantly. This was followed by an explosion of the rack, which completely blew out the driver's entire upper body.
Seeing this terrifying scene, Xia Houlin couldn't help but feel a tingling of his scalp. If such a powerful plasma bomb is hit, I am afraid that the armored exoskeleton on my body will not be able to resist such destructive power.
At this time, Qiu Yue was already piloting the multi-legged mecha, aiming at the small plasma worm that was hiding behind a group of Alaqi war insects that were still approaching him.
This special Arachic war insect, which looked like a spider, had already raised its glowing tail and spewed a magap bomb in this direction again.
Qiu Yue's counterattack was just as swift, and a high-explosive grenade flew through the air with the plasma bomb, quickly flying into the group of Araqi war insects.
The two explosions rang out almost simultaneously, and the plasma bomb once again knocked one of the 303 armor to the ground. The high-explosive grenade directly hit the small plasma worm, and it and several other ordinary Araqi war worms around it, and immediately exploded into flesh and blood.
Then the dense barrage instantly flooded the passage on the opposite side, and those Alaqi war insects no longer had any chance to fight back. Under the dense firepower of Xiahou Lin's side, they were all beaten into a pile of bloody and fleshy stumps.
As the battle ended, Xiahoulin looked at the other Haizi 303 mecha that had fallen to the ground. At this moment, the right half of the fuselage has been blown beyond recognition, and the pilot's head inside is missing.
Although the power of plasma bombs had been estimated before, it was still not as shocking as seeing the destructive power of this attack with your own eyes.
The shell of the Haizi 303 mecha is made of the latest titanium alloy because it has to resist water pressure and attacks. Not only is it lightweight, but it also has ten times more defense than the same steel plate.
But this kind of defense, in the face of the plasma bombs spewed out by the Araki war insects, there was no resistance at all. Where they were hit, the titanium alloy was burned and melted.
"Sir, the attack just now is too powerful. I'm afraid that the armor of the multi-legged tank will not be able to withstand such an explosive attack, and it seems that we will have to use some special means. Qiu Yue quickly analyzed the enemy's attack just now, and she found that if she continued to encounter those Araqi war insects that could spray plasma bombs. Your losses will inevitably increase, which will be very detrimental to the rest of the battle.
Now is the time to use those special munitions, and the environment in this base can be used to maximize the lethality of those munitions.
"Is there enough air here, I don't want to see these weapons go home." Xia Houlin looked at a cloud burst bomb in the hand of a Haizi 303 armorer, this weapon was the killer weapon that was prepared to deal with the large swarm of Arachic war insects.
A cloudburst is a very powerful explosive weapon that uses highly effective fuel instead of explosives. It is three times more powerful than the same explosive, and the shock wave and high temperature and pressure generated by the explosion can produce terrifying lethality to enemies in solid targets such as cover.
Of course, this powerful weapon is also very certain. That is, it must be in an environment with air to exert its lethality. If it's a vacuum without any air, then this weapon is just a waste.
This is also the reason why in the previous battle, Xiahou Lin's side has not used these cloud burst bombs. And at this moment, Qiu Yue proposed to use these weapons, and it seems that there is already air in this area.
"It's enough to use a cloudburst bomb, but after it's fired. The air in this base will be consumed drastically, so we will have to speed up the mission. Qiu Yue accurately explained the consequences of using the cloud burst bomb, mainly to remind Xia Houlin to pay attention to the oxygen carried by the 303 mecha.
Because in the entire army, there is no one who is a big living person. The others were robots that didn't need to breathe, so oxygen didn't mean much to everyone.
Although Akizuki is in the mecha, there is a spare oxygen ready. But the place in front of me is an asteroid floating in outer space. Sooner or later, the oxygen will run out, and if you don't complete the task by then, you will have to return to the spatial rift.
At this time, Laxis, who was invading the network system, informed everyone at this time that she had successfully entered the host system of this base, and controlled all the monitoring equipment, and was downloading all the information in it at the moment.
For this news, Xia Houlin was indeed a little surprised. Not to mention anything else, the technology of the Ghost in the Shell world alone is far behind the world of "Star Troopers", which is already in the interstellar era.
Even a special intelligent program like Laxis would probably take a lot of time to hack into the world's computer systems.
But now Laxis says that now the crack is complete. This speed is a little too fast, it's completely abnormal.
Xia Houlin's doubts were quickly answered, and it turned out that the computer system of this base did not have a password at all. When the people here retreated, they were originally preparing to blow everything up.
But in the end, there was an accident, and when the staff here were downloading important documents, they were caught off guard by the Arachic war insects. So the computer system here is completely turned on. Laxis just needs to enter it with peace of mind, and then she can view the file freely.
After ordering the troops to continue to guard outside, Xiahoulin walked into the control room. At this time, Laxis had already turned on the screen and turned on the surveillance pictures one by one. In many pictures, there are the figures of the Arachi war insects.
Looking at the pictures on the huge screen, Xia Houlin pointed to a large number of Alaqi war insects that were closed in the passage in several places, and couldn't help but ask, "Are these guys you locked them in?" ”
"Yes, but this method won't delay those Arachi war bugs for long. The kind of zerg that can shoot energy projectiles from the tail is too destructive. We don't have much time at all. Laxis zoomed in on a surveillance footage, revealing a small plasma bug on the screen.
I saw that this guy was mixed in with the ordinary Araqi war insects, and was walking towards an alloy gate. Then he cocked his tail and shot a plasma bomb forward.
"We don't care about these bugs, you find the nearest way, and as soon as we get to that battleship, we immediately disconnect from the base. When the time comes, I believe that when the task is completed, it will naturally be far away from all this. "Xiahou Lin is not a fool, his mission is only to capture the battleship, and he is not here to kill insects.
Those large and dangerous zergs, when the time comes, it will be good to keep this lonely asteroid on it, and I believe that this place will become a natural prison for them.
"The closest distance to where the battleship is anchored has been found, and someone here has captured a female worm to use in some kind of scientific experiment. It's the Ministry of Intelligence that's in charge, and these people are crazy enough. Apparently their operation failed, resulting in the base being taken over by the Zerg. Laxis checked the monitor as she laid out the best route forward. At this moment, in many places in the base, those Araqi war bugs have begun to go berserk.
"What's the situation at this time, are these Alachi war bugs going crazy?" Xia Houlin looked at the situation in the picture and immediately felt that something was wrong.
"But after I closed those passages, the Arachi War Worms rushed to the side of the mother worms, and now they are starting to destroy the path that is blocking their progress." Laxis brings up a video footage showing a warehouse inside the base, where a female worm, the leader of the Araqi Bugs, is being protected by a swarm of Arachi Bugs.
"Leave it all here, go crazy. These Araqi war bugs are not worth our time, so let's go. Go straight to that battleship. After saying this, Xiahoulin left the command room with Laxis, and after gathering the troops, he began to rush towards the battleship that was moored outside.
But at this time, in Xia Houlin's mind, a new order suddenly sounded.
"The hidden mission is opened, bring the entire satellite base and battleship back into space, and after completing it, you will receive special rewards and increase your permissions."
"Damn, there are still battleships in the entire satellite base, what method does Lao Tzu have to use to recover them?" Xia Houlin's whole person couldn't help but stop moving forward because of this task.
Of course, this change was discovered by Laxis and Autumn Moon, so they also stopped. And ask what happened, now everyone is racing against time to get to the location of the battleship, and a little more delay on the way is tantamount to adding more danger.
In Xia Houlin's mind at this time, a message from the space appeared again.
"The gems on the ring can form a huge special space that can be used to store entire bases and battleships. As long as there is no strong mental interference, please destroy the mother worm in the base. ”
"These gems still have such a function, it seems that the technology of the cube space is really beyond imagination. But the elimination of the mother worm does not force me to start a war with the Arachi war worm? Thinking of this, the expression on Xiahou Lin's face gradually became solemn. If you want to eliminate the mother worm of the Araqi war bug, I am afraid that the next battle will be very cruel.
In order to protect the mother worm, those Arachi war bugs will be desperate. This is no joke, the combat power of these bugs will be increased exponentially.
"What's wrong with you?" Laxis looked at Xia Houlin, who had a solemn expression, and asked, she noticed that the other party's expression had changed significantly. From astonishment to solemnity, as if something important had been discovered.
"I just got the latest order and know how to recover that battleship." Xiahoulin said to Laxis on the screen, and then they were going to change the direction of their progress.
"That's great, let's get it done!" Laxis immediately spoke, and now she was really looking forward to what method the other party was going to use to collect the huge warship.
"Don't rejoice too soon, we want to wipe out the mother worm in the base. Otherwise, the task will not be completed at all. After Xia Houlin said this, he immediately turned around and walked in another direction. Qiu Yue looked at this scene and immediately followed without hesitation.
Laxis, who was on the side, thought about it for a while, and didn't say anything more. Instead, he followed Xiahou Lin closely and began to rush in the other direction.
At this moment, a gate in front of it suddenly shattered open in an explosion. A large swarm of Arachi war insects were eagerly pouring out of the gap at this moment.
