Section 31 The Queen Ant
Next, Iron Slag walked to the clearing in the middle of the camp, jumped on the large wooden box, and glanced around the camp. At this time, in the camp, the marines of the wolf legion were leaning against the bunker wall, some were whispering, some were smoking, and some were closing their eyes to recuperate; The wounded soldiers of the Woodsmith Legion sat on the side, some were treating their wounds, some were holding their guns in a daze, and some were lying quietly on the ground, life and death unknown; The convoy team members gathered at the back of the camp and sat silently on the ground, their eyes glazed over.
After watching the lap, he withdrew his gaze, then took a deep breath and shouted: "Students, friends, brothers! The loud voice came from afar, and everyone looked sideways and looked over.
"The battle situation is critical, reinforcements have not arrived, and this place cannot be held."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was in an uproar, and they exchanged heads and ears in twos and threes, and began to discuss. Iron Slag made a silent gesture and continued:
"I'm going to lead the assault team to storm the underground anthill and eliminate the Abyss Ant Queen, I need your cover."
He paused, his determined gaze swept over everyone's faces, and then said slowly: "Now, I give all of you two choices, one is to retreat with the wounded, and the other is to cover us and rush over. ”
"But before you choose, I must make it clear that if our operation fails, the evacuees will soon be overtaken by the swarm."
After saying this, the iron slag didn't say anything more, just quietly looked ahead. There was silence below, so quiet that only the sound of breathing remained. The choice between life and death is never easy. After an unknown time, one of the Marines of the Woodsmith Legion stood up with a bandage on his head. He looked back at the wounded soldiers around him and shouted, "Legion of Mariners, there are no cowards!" We fought with them! ”
His words swept through the camp like a storm in an instant.
"Legion of Burnsmiths, no cowards!" "We CSUM, there are no cowards!" "Fight with them!" "Fight to the death!" The crowd stood up and swore aloud. In fact, they all know very well in their hearts: escape! There is only one dead end, so it is better to fight with all your might. Bo is naturally good, and Bo Buzhong can also bring glory and a large pension to his family. If you become a deserter, not only will your family have nothing, but you may not be able to escape.
A few minutes later, the Marines who were still able to move lined up and were ready to go. And the mecha team, under the leadership of Mu Qianhe, took the lead in driving into the dense forest. Before leaving, Ju Amu carried a shovel and brought more than 20 transport team members to the iron slag and said, "Brother Tie, give us the gun, and we will also cover you!" ”
Iron Slag looked at the more than twenty young faces, first nodded, then shook his head, and said, "You are not trained, and you will be sent to death if you go, so wait for later." Then, he stretched out his hand and ordered in a deep voice: "Ju Amu, lead the convoy and the wounded soldiers to evacuate the camp!" ”
"Yes!" Ju Amu replied loudly, and then turned around and left with the people, without stopping for a moment. Just as Ju Sang explained to him before coming here: "Believe in Brother Tie." ”
Moments later, the team bypassed the swarm under the command of Iron Slag and headed at full speed towards the entrance to the crypt 5 km away. At this time, the mecha team opened the way in front, and the soldiers trotted all the way and followed behind. Thanks to the reconnaissance of the Soldier Ant Legion, there were no dangers along the way, and no substantial obstacles were encountered. Half an hour later, the team reached the vicinity of the mouth of the cave and charged the defenders!
Suddenly, the mecha roared and gunfire erupted. More than thirty Thunder Fire Types, led by a Tiger Style, stood at the forefront and crushed towards the insect swarm. The soldiers hid behind the mechs, firing and throwing fragmentation grenades at the dense swarm. In the blink of an eye, the human legion and the insect swarm collided violently, and suddenly there was a roar, flesh and blood flying, and the shouts of killing, hissing, screaming, and wailing were intertwined, one after another, and the scene was extremely tragic.
After the battle, Iron Slag led the porcupine, matchstick, and Tuoba three to rush into the entrance of the crypt and hurried forward in the corridor. They all wore miner's lamp helmets and their guns were equipped with flashlights. Eight light sources swept around, illuminating the pitch-black corridor as if it were day. At this moment, the porcupines and matches rushed to the front, they were armed with repeating shotguns, but whenever they encountered an enemy army, they immediately shot at it!
There are very few enemy troops in the tunnels, and apart from the crypt worker ants, only one or two cries occasionally emerge. The four of them rushed all the way unimpeded, and rushed to the depths of the road in more than ten minutes. There are more and more worker ants in the burrows here, crawling densely on both sides of the corridor. At first glance, it makes people's scalp tingle. Fortunately, these worker ants are smooth and crystal clear, with a milky white luster under the illumination of the miner's lamp, which is not too disgusting.
In order to save ammunition, Iron Slag drew a single-edged straight sword and rushed to the front of the line, running at a rapid speed while swinging his sword to slash the worker ants along the way. The bodies of these worker ants are extremely soft, and when the blade is slashed, the translucent sap spurts out with a faint sweet fragrance.
"I heard this thing can be eaten." Tuoba San can still think of eating at this time, and he can't help but smack his tongue. But no one paid attention to him, they just ran wildly.
As they went deeper, the corridor widened and widened, and it didn't take long for the front to suddenly open up and come to a huge underground space. Looking at the deep and dark space, the iron slag that rushed to the front slowed down, and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop moving forward.
The three people behind him immediately stopped and looked around. At this moment, a rustling movement suddenly sounded in the deep darkness. Everyone was stunned, and several bright lights immediately shone over. In the darkness, a hideous triangular head appeared out of thin air!
The skull was covered with small sharp spines and fine hairs, and near the forehead were three pairs of dark compound eyes. When I looked at it, the compound eyes were emitting a pale green glow, becoming more and more terrifying in the darkness. The dazzling light source seemed to cause its dissatisfaction, and it saw its mouthparts suddenly open, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth, and making a piercing "squeak" sound.
However, in the face of these intruders, it just hisses in place and has no next move.
As more light converged, its massive body was revealed. It was the size of a loaf of bread covered in carapace, and its torso was the size of three rear eight-wheeled trucks with their heads and tails attached. Its belly is milky white, appears large and full, and is covered with thick elytra. And under the abdomen are many tiny feet, like centipedes' hundred legs, which look numb.
Its triangular head rises high, with three pairs of insect feet growing between its chest and abdomen, a pair of giant sickles on its forefoot, a second pair of feet that are particularly long and very sharp at the tip, and then a third pair of feet that appear very stout and seem to support the weight of the front half of the body.
All in all, it's like a termite queen covered in a carapace. Compared with the ordinary termite queen, its movements seem to be more flexible, no matter the size of the segment foot is extremely thick, can support this huge body to move quickly, and its huge milky white abdomen is hidden under the thick elytra, not only does not have the softness of an ordinary termite queen, but has a feeling of being armed to the teeth.
"Good fellow......" Looking at the behemoth in front of him, the porcupine couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"What are you stunned about? it! With a loud roar, the match picked up the battle shotgun and shot forward as he pounced!
"Turbulent ......" fired five scattered bullets in a row, and countless high-temperature iron sand hit the insect body, and sparks splashed in an instant, reflecting the underground space in orange and red.
Porcupine and Tuoba San suddenly came back to their senses and outflanked them left and right. Iron Slag stood still, calmly put away Fengyao, and took off the Psionic Warrior Rifle. With a "click", the bolt was pulled open, the empty bullet was stuffed, and then the gun was raised, and the psionic energy was charged!
Facing the siege of the three small insects, the Abyssal Ant Queen raised her scythe, slowly twisted her body, and stabbed at the one that rushed to the front!
Seeing that the giant sickle was entrained with wind and thunder, it fell straight down from the top, and the match rolled sideways, just avoiding the chisel of the tip of the sickle, and got up and shot in one go.
"Raging ......" He shot three times in a row, causing the Abyss Ant to take a step back.
"Dada...... Da Da Da ......" "Raging...... "In the next second, Tuoba San and the porcupine rushed up from both sides, outflanking left and right while shooting.......
The Abyssal Queen was beaten back again and again, and fighting was clearly not her forte. However, just when everyone thought the situation was clear, the queen ant suddenly let out a deafening hiss. Then she raised her huge twin sickles to protect the triangular head, and at the same time moved the huge insect body, and rushed towards the iron slag not far away!
It was like a roaring heavy truck, and when it ran with all its might, it was as if the whole ground was shaking. The iron slag was half-charged, and seeing the queen ant rushing over violently, he hurriedly shifted to the side. But it was so fast that he had to give up his charge and run away at full speed.
The three of them quickly turned around and chased after them, their weapons firing non-stop. But these gunpowder bullets could not penetrate its elytra at all, and only caused small wounds in the gaps in the carapace.
While running at full speed, Iron Slag pulls out his double-barreled shotgun and loads his bullets as he runs. At the same time, the queen chased after him, raising her scythe and stabbing him in the back! Iron Slag heard the sharp sound of breaking the air, and hurriedly rolled sideways, avoiding the chisel of the sickle! Then he turned around and shot at the joint of the scythe at close range.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the Abyssal Queen raised her head high and let out a cry of agony.
Iron slag took advantage of its head-raising moment to "click" open the bomb bay and stuff two more scattered bullets into it. At this time, the three of them rushed up and fired continuously at the crevices of the queen.
"Bang Bang...... ......"Fighting, Tuobasan's gun ran out of bullets. Shot red-eyed, he forgot to even put the bullet on it, threw the rifle out directly, jumped forward, grabbed the edge of the elytra directly, and climbed up!
"What are you doing, third child!" Seeing this, the porcupine quickly stopped shooting and roared loudly.
Tuoba San recklessly climbed up the worm's body and clinged to its back. Iron Slag glanced back and quickly ran forward, closing the distance between him and the Abyssal Queen.
At the same time as Tuoba San climbed onto the back of the ant, the match on the other side noticed something abnormal, and hurriedly ran to the upper body of the queen ant and continued to shoot at its head. The queen ant seemed to sense that there was a foreign object climbing behind her, and immediately raised the second pair of extremely long knuckle feet and slammed towards Tuoba San on her back!
"Raging ......" Match's eyes narrowed, and he shot fiercely at the root of the knot.
The first knob was hindered by the impact and leaned to one side, while the other knuckle was stuck straight at the human behind it!
At this moment, Tuoba San was barely clinging to the smooth upper elytra, his hands tightly clasped at a little gap in the edge, and he was not aware of the danger coming from above.
"Poof!" With a muffled sound, the sharp knuckle foot passed through the chest, nailing Tuoba San to the back of the worm!
"The third child!" The porcupine burst into a roar and shot the tip of the knotted foot with his gun.
