Despite the guidance of the intelligent AI Wan'er, the trail to the western hills is still very difficult to navigate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Xing and the vanguard elite warriors must avoid the alien insects that may exist, and also maintain the speed of progress while carrying weights.

If it were an ordinary Frontier Army soldier, this secret trail would have been completely exhausted after walking for half an hour.

Even if I can barely make it through for an hour, I am afraid that I will only be able to advance a tenth of the distance.

However, Chen Xing and the pioneer elite warriors advanced three-fifths of the way in half an hour.

It would take them another twenty minutes at most to reach the cave where the survivors of the Ghost Hand Formation were hiding.

At the thought that they would be able to rescue the trapped and desperate Ghost Hand Formation soldiers immediately, the vanguard elite warriors were full of energy and continued to accelerate forward.

Along the way, they encountered only a few groups of alien bugs.

They still follow the old method, not directly kill the bugs, but still discard the bugs and let them "bleed" quietly to death.

Of course, insects have no blood, but their fluid is equivalent to human blood.

Let them drain the worm juice, and they will die naturally.

As long as the first group of insects can be rescued before the first group of insects drains and dies, the Ghost Hand Formation soldiers can be rescued, even if the swarm life group senses that something is wrong, there is nothing they can do.

The artillery fire in the eastern hills continued, but it was clear that the frequency of the bombardment had become exhausted.

Think about it too.

With the arms and equipment of the Splendid Forest Legion, it is already considered to be doing its best to be able to hold on to the artillery bombardment for so long.

In this case, once Chen Xing's rescue mission fails, or the Wormtide army launches a general attack, then the Splendid Forest Legion will have no ammunition to defend.

They have held the line for five days, and they will be directly destroyed by the army of insects.

So, this can't but be considered a big gamble.

Commander-in-Chief Li Zhengye almost bet on Chen Xing on the victory or defeat of the entire Insect Tide War.

And Chen Xing is worthy of Li Zhengye's expectations.

The vanguard elite warriors are moving fast.

Phaeton was at the front of the line to find the way.

His body is very flexible, and his speed is also the fastest in the entire formation.

Of course, compared to Chen Xinglai, he is naturally still much worse, but compared to anyone else in the formation, he is definitely the best in terms of speed.

After Chen Xing's training and guidance, coupled with his own hard work, Phaeton has now grown into a qualified squadron leader.

His squadron consists of two squads, all of which are agile masters that he has carefully selected from the entire Hellfire Legion.

Phaeton walked about fifty meters in front of the entire tactical squad to prepare for a possible emergency.

If he encounters an enemy, he will report it directly, so that the entire team does not expose the target.

The scattered steel armor beetles before were all discovered and warned by him.

It is precisely because of his exploration that the pioneer elite warriors can accelerate unimpeded.

The peaks of the western hills are already dimly visible.

With the advancing speed of the Vanguard Elite Warriors, it only takes about five minutes to reach the designated position.

Everyone's hearts couldn't help but be excited.

Suddenly, at this time, Phaeton, who was exploring the path in front, suddenly stopped.

"Brother Xing, I'm in trouble."

Phaeton said in a calm tone.

After following Brother Xing for so long, he has learned to deal with things calmly, and it is completely useless to panic.

Chen Xing immediately motioned for the team to stop, "What's the matter, Phaeton?" ”

Phaeton said: "Brother Xing, I feel that something is wrong under my feet, I may have guessed the worm egg mine." ”

Chen Xing's brows tightened slightly, "Yang Yi, you go and take a look." ”

"Yes! Brother Xing! ”

Mechanic Yang Yi came out of the line at the end of the line and rushed to Phaeton quickly and carefully.

Yang Yi was originally the weakest member of Chen Xing's team.

If you put it in other squads, it's completely a crane-tail creep who is bullied by veterans.

But in Chen Xing's team, Chen Xing discovered Yang Yi's specialties, let Yang Yi make the best use of things, and repeatedly made miraculous contributions to Chen Xing's team.

What's more, Chen Xing also dared to let Yang Yi do what he was good at.

Therefore, Yang Yi's improvement speed is the fastest in the entire team.

With following Chen Xing to win victory after victory, Yang Yi's self-confidence, ability, and experience have been greatly improved.

Not only is he proficient in maneuvering drones and self-propelled guns, but he can basically repair any device.

He pulled out a small energy detection device from the enhanced (9) exoskeleton suit, crouched down and carefully scanned it.

"That's right, Phaeton was right, he did step on the worm egg mine."

Phaeton sighed in annoyance, "Damn it." ”

Yang Yi smiled and comforted: "Brother Huiteng, you should be glad to be right, if you are so arrogant and walk directly with your feet loose, not only will you be killed, but our entire tactical team will be exposed." ”

Phaeton asked: "Yang Yi, don't tease me, help me remove this disgusting worm egg mine!" ”

Yang Yi shook his head gently, "This kind of insect egg mine belongs to biological mines, not mechanical devices, and I won't dismantle them at all." But I can probably guess that this kind of worm egg mine can feel the pressure, and as soon as the pressure is released, it will explode immediately. ”

"You mean, I can only stand on this all the time?"

"I'm afraid not. You look at the insect egg film is very thin, it is estimated that if you stand for a few more minutes, the insect egg film will not be able to withstand it, and then with a "pop", the corrosive energy will explode, and the surrounding 100 meters will be eroded by the corrosive energy. ”

Yang Yi continued: "Moreover, don't underestimate this corrosive energy, it will directly dissolve the exoskeleton suit on our body, and may even corrode our skin, muscles, and bones. ”

Phaeton couldn't help but get irritable, "It's not okay to just walk away, and it's not okay to stand on it all the time, so I'm not finished?" ”

Yang Yi thought about it seriously, "It seems to be yes, Brother Huiteng." ”

"you, Yang Yi." Phaeton said angrily.

Yang Yi touched Phaeton's waist, and then said with a smile while looking for parts to assemble from the toolbox he carried: "You can go with confidence, Brother Phaeton, I will burn more paper money for you today next year." ”

Phaeton scolded: "Is there a fart use for burning paper money? ”

"At most, I will burn two more beauties for you, and you won't be able to keep yourself busy."

"You'd better burn an army with me, and if Lao Tzu dies, he will lead the army to make contributions to Brother Xing!"

"That's going to cost a lot of money."

Yang Yi shrugged his shoulders, "I think it's better to forget it, you still live." ”

As he spoke, Yang Yi put the temporarily assembled device on the insect egg mine, and the insect egg mine trembled slightly due to the change in pressure. )
