Chapter 9: In the Wind

Although the polar belt is not in the ionization storm and does not have such a strong electronic turbulence, ordinary large machinery and precision instruments are prone to inexplicable failures. This environment led to the Imperial Army, which attacked the polar belt, and was the only one that relied on the Swarm Legion and cyborgs.

For daily civil machinery, it is not a big deal to occasionally shut down for a few hours, or the water purifier to stop for a day and a half.

However, for the war machine, any sudden surprise may cause a butterfly effect, which can become the key to turning the tide of a war.

This is both a blessing and a misfortune for the polar belt.

Although the opponent did not have large marine weapons such as war mechas, the local armies and formed troops stationed in the polar star belt finally got a chance to breathe after a large number of war mechas.

But the ensuing army of creatures is far more terrifying than the cold killing machines.

The boy, who had already rushed into the storm, was taking off the pure gunpowder double-barreled rifle hidden behind his back, and moving quickly with the barrel of the rifle pinned to his waist.

The wind at the col is blowing from the inside out, and in this fissure wind belt that has been blowing for I don't know how many thousands of years, in addition to the extremely strong wind and ice and snow, there are also countless mottled ionion beams, although the density is far less dense than the ionic storm in the sky, but it is still fatal to the standard equipment without protection.

"Here we are..."

Along the wind and snow, the first creature Garbo saw, like a figure the size of a polar horse, was so familiar.

This is an adult winged predator, because of walking in the opposite direction, has to use two sharp front paws, blocking his eyelids to move forward, in the direction of this headwind, the speed of progress is not slow at all.

"I can't delay here for too long, I have to know if there is an air force outside, otherwise none of our spaceships will be able to escape!"

Biting her lower lip, Garbo quickly stuck to the mountain wall next to her, looked at the huge jumping insect that was about to approach, and quickly began to calculate in her heart.

The cave where the spaceship is hidden is a small starport that they have built temporarily.

Because the hidden exit of the star port is far away from the mountain pass, it is equivalent to leaving a back door for yourself, even if the only entrance to the valley is blocked, you can surprisingly quickly escape from another completely different direction.

Therefore, in order to conceal the electromagnetic signal, the clansmen did not set up radar detection and signal transmission devices at the exit of the starport on the top of the mountain, and usually relied on the garrison team to take turns to the bottom of the outer mountain to guard through observation, so that the chance of exposure was minimal.

Even during the dinner, the guard of the garrison will not relax, as long as there is any abnormal movement, it will send an alarm to the camp as soon as possible, plus the secondary short-range enemy sonar device inside the camp, which can basically ensure that everyone has enough time to transfer.

Today, however, neither the open nor the dark one gave any warning, which can only indicate one problem, that the enemy was either premeditated or too fast, so that the garrisons did not even have a chance to raise the alarm, and they were miserably.

Just as the first jumping insect was about to walk past Garbo, the gray-haired boy saw a black line more than one person high behind him, and when he squinted his eyes and carefully identified it, his back couldn't help but sweat in the extremely cold temperature.

It was a row of a dozen or so huge scorpions, and behind them, there was a hill-like shadow that was gradually becoming clear.

Whether it is from the data released by the federal military before, or from the large and small battles that Garbo has personally experienced, he has seen the existence and horror of this scorpion.

Each of them is almost always an alien unit, or the commander of a small army.

Usually, even if you see one, it means that somewhere, there must be hundreds or thousands of swarm armies lurking.

So, whenever this scorpion is in view, if you can't kill it right away, you have to retreat immediately.

And now, in the place where Garbo could see, there were more than a dozen, and Garbo was not sure whether the scorpion commander of this unit had all been seen by him.

"I can't let them just pass!"

The gray-haired boy clinging to the cliff tightly held the double-barreled rifle with the military spur in his hand, staring at the endless front of him, staining the shadow of the army blackened by the wind and snow.

"Can't let them pass ... The postman's signal hasn't been sent to me yet, the people may not even have time to get on the spaceship, and Sasha and her mother don't know if they've been brought out or not! I can't let them pass! ”

The figures of the family members, the smiles of the clansmen, kept coming to his mind at this moment, until finally they all turned into the figure of the man, who was smiling and looking at himself, in the void in front of him.

The heartbeat is getting more and more urgent, and the blood is beginning to gush.
