Chapter 3: Mother

The battle in the sky continued, but the black tide had already fallen to the ground one after another. As soon as these black bumps hit the ground, they exploded into a pile of green water and organic matter, and as they exploded, countless insects would jump to the ground and start chasing every living creature they could see.

"Hell, what is this!" The soldiers in power armor were frantically pouring bullets while cursing, the corpses of the insects were constantly approaching the defense line, and when they saw that the sea of insects in front of this group of soldiers was about to cover it, the two pillars of fire of "boom" forced the entire insect tide back more than ten meters like two fire dragons. Several scavengers carrying high-compression liquid hydrogen on their backs were approaching the line from the direction of the tunnel.

"Are you the only ones left here? There is no one responding to the channel of the second and third wings! Do you see them? "The red scavenger at the head of the group, while spraying the fire dragon at the swarm, asked the infantry squad leader on the defense line through a melee megaphone." See, just three minutes ago, it should be a fragment now, sir! At this moment, the swarm suddenly stirred, and then several beetles with huge bodies like small mountains appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"This is ... What the heck..... The hill had moved quickly to the line of defense, the flames and machine-gun bullets seemed to not even break through its carapace, and in a matter of seconds, the moving hill had severed several scavenger-powered mechs with its long, curved, scimitar-like fangs.

All the infantry forgot to pull the trigger at the last moment, just watched as the huge worm feet grew bigger and bigger in front of their eyes until everything in sight was obscured.

With a "snap", the infantry meatloaf mixed with steel had already appeared on the defensive line, and the swarm continued to rush forward, and there was no trace of anything on the ground that had been here just now.

A similar scene is taking place all over this small planet, a sudden invasion, an enemy that has never been seen before, and fear is sweeping through all settlements.

Nataya stood on the edge of the white orb, looking carefully at the thing that had broken into reality in her dream. From the outside, this ball is about the size of a dining table, and there is no mark or pattern on the shell, just the original pure white sphere, and the lower end has been burned in the air black.

The gap that had been blasted open by the Black Thorn had been hit, revealing the flickering lines inside. Nataya walked to the position of the gap, from which it can be clearly seen that the ball is a hollow structure, the inner wall is a neat hexagonal matrix link, from the edge of each hexagonal wall there is a pillar connected to the center of the sphere, although a small part of the shell has been blown open, but most of the support is still there. And in the center of all the pillars there is a square box that resembles a chest.

"Hiss~~~~~Whoa~~~~" There was a roar from the dry shore of the lake, and the falling stone pillars indicated that some big guys were rapidly approaching here.

Nataya looked around and realized that it was definitely not a wise thing to stay here, everything within a kilometer or two of her surroundings was unobstructed by the glow provided by flashbangs, lights, and ammunition explosions.

She hesitated, then reached for the box in the middle of the ball, grabbed it, and pulled it out. The supports that connected the boxes seemed to be nowhere near as strong as they seemed, and they were all torn off by her at the slightest touch. "How can it be so easy to take it out" Nataya wondered in her heart, this ball is a magical object that can enter her dreams, even if it hits the ground, there is no damage, she didn't expect it to be so fragile inside, which reminds her of the chicken soup for the soul pasted on the back of the toilet door when she goes to the bathroom every day: "The creator gives you a stronger side, and it will make you weaker in some way." ”

At the moment when the small box left the sphere, the whole sphere slowly changed from milky white to the gray-brown color of ordinary stones, and then disintegrated, like a pile of stones, except for the regular shape, there was no longer a trace of the original appearance.

Before Nataya could sigh about the fate of the meteor, there were dense gunshots and screams around the lake, she roughly judged the direction, and felt that in addition to the Xinghai Mining Company, there were fierce battles in several other directions, and they were already very close to her, so it was wise to find a place to hide at this time.

Fortunately, the box was not big and light, and she ran into the ghetto with the box, in the direction of the mining company. Just as she was approaching the gate of Xinghai Mining Company, she suddenly heard a burst of gunfire in front of her. Sensitive, she found a corner and leaned down, then glanced in the direction where the gunshots were coming from.

A mother with a baby in her arms is pleading at the door of a mining company, and the solid door painted with a blue planet logo has no intention of opening.

"Please, I don't want to go in, you put a hanging basket down, let my child in, he is only three years old, this is the only blood of the Orlando family, his father is a hero of the Great Patriotic War, we are here to visit relatives。。。。。"

"The Great Patriotic War? Hahahaha His father is just a hero, today his son can become a martyr, and he is fighting these ugly aliens, it is a race defense war, which is better than his father! As soon as the man who looked like the captain of the squad on the gate sentry finished speaking, the sentry box and dozens of heavily armed soldiers on the defensive wall laughed together.

The squad leader continued, "Well, I just heard from the combat channel that these guys are very interested in hot flesh, if you release your own blood and lure those who are close in the opposite direction, I'll pick up your son, it's a good deal, it's better to die than to kill the whole family, right?" After making fun of the mother and son, the team leader flashed with a cunning light in his eyes, and the plan proposed to destroy the hope first seemed to be acceptable, no matter how harsh it was, even if it was to send him to death.

Sure enough, a basket with a rope tied to it was thrown off the wall and placed next to the mother, who had no idea what was happening, but was frightened by the movement of the evening, and instinctively drilled into his mother's arms.

The mother couldn't cry anymore, kept rubbing her son's curly short hair, choked and kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my mother shouldn't have brought you here, it's all my mother's fault... ”

The sound of explosions from the periphery was getting closer and closer, and a huge black shadow was moving closer to the door of the planet's mining. "Are you finished? If you don't decide, you can hold your son and die! The squad leader on the sentry raised the rope in his hand and made a gesture that was ready to be dropped.

"Come on, hit my left hand" The young mother tore a strip of cloth from her own clothes, put her son blindfolded and put it in the basket with tears in her eyes, then stood up calmly, stretched out her left hand, and motioned for them to shoot.

"That's it, if you are decisive, I will be decisive, I like sensible people" The squad leader nodded to the guards beside him as he began to pull the basket.

With a "snap" shot, the young mother's left palm was already bloody and blurred, and the huge impact and pain made her fall to the ground heavily.

With a whoo~~~~, the huge shadow became clearer and clearer, and when the trampled house fell, the young mother stood up, waved her blood-covered left hand at the huge shadow, and then ran in the opposite direction.

"Don't move, no one is allowed to shoot without my orders! Don't look for death, let this big guy go somewhere else, let's clean up the little ones," the captain whispered through the power mech's channel as he closed his helmet mask.

The big beetle was really attracted by the fresh blood that the young mother was pouring out like crazy, and it was getting faster and faster. Just when the young mother was about to run to the corner in the opposite direction, the little guy on the hanging basket seemed to sense something, and he tried to shout "Mom~~Mom~~~~"

The young mother couldn't help but glance back at the child who was on the hanging basket, and at that moment, the huge beetle was about to rush in front of her, and its huge mouthparts were raised from high upwards, ready to cover the woman.

"Damn it, throw that damn little bunny down!" The captain is furious, this little bunny has ruined everything! Now ready to face the onslaught head-on, he let go of the rope in his hand and had just lifted the small hanging basket and fell back to the ground in gravity.

"My, child..." It was the last sound of the young mother before she disappeared into the mouthparts of the giant beetle.

The voice struck Nataya's heart.

This is how it feels to be a mother, for the sake of her children, she can be desperate, she can give up everything...

A feeling that had never been felt before, slowly sprouted from Nataya's dead heart, as if there was a little warmth.

This warm feeling is not only in the heart, but also in the embrace.

Nataya was still immersed in the sacrificial effort, completely unaware that the box on her chest was almost disappearing, and the contents of the box were slowly glowing milky. This milky white light slowly climbed up Nataya's body, wrists, thighs, forehead, neck, and ankles. Then the milky white light began to fade, and Nataya's body had a close-fitting white armor out of thin air, but this armor cracked so badly that it seemed to be powdered all over the ground when the wind blew. Then the armor of this body gradually merged into different parts of Nataya's body and disappeared.

Wait, what is this ...

Are these delicate fluids the air flowing?

These different clouds of light and dark are the humidity distribution in the air?

In the space three centimeters high on the ground, what rises into the air is the dust that the earth has been shocked and shaken?

The wall around me is glowing, and it seems to be the diffuse reflection of the explosion of a thermal weapon two kilometers away?

More than ten meters above the head, there seemed to be two shrapnel flying at high speed.

What's wrong with me?

This is...

There was a smell of blood in the air...

Nataya came back to her senses and saw the giant beetle staring at her.

She realized that whether she could get away with it or not, she couldn't wait here to die, or in a few hours, she would be a puddle of for the bug, if it was sure it would poop too.

The little boy who fell, because of the pain of the fall, finally began to cry and call for his mother. Nataya rushed over without a hint of hesitation, she didn't know why, but her body and reason thought that she should go over as if she was a conditioned reflex.

Her body and reason were highly coordinated without consciousness to use every advantage from the corner where she was hiding to the gate of the planet's mines, from the direction of the wind, the slope of the ground, the brightness of the lights, and even the angle of friction on the ground, which made her small body almost exert the speed and strength that she should have been at least one or two years older than she should have, allowing her to carry the boy out of the door, spraying the gate of the blue planet.

The captain of the team on the gate, as if he had seen a ghost, only noticed that there seemed to be a black shadow strung out of a corner of the wall at a very fast speed, and then rushed towards the gate with the huge beetle, and then the little boy in the basket was also gone, leaving only the hill-like beetle facing the gate painted with the blue planet. When I got so close, I realized that this beetle also had a pair of extremely large scimitar-like tusks.

The giant beetle, which had lost its target, also noticed the squad leader who was staring at him, facing each other.

It turns out that there are dozens of small fleas that move here! These fresh-looking blood food made it recover from the frustration of losing its prey...

Loud crashes, gunshots and screams kept coming from behind Nataya, who was running through the night with the little boy in her arms, and in this turbulent and crazy bloody night, it was fleeting.
