Chapter 69: Brain Worms
6:12 a.m. on January 15, 2071 -- the Asteroid Belt in Far-Earth Orbit of the Sharitz Star -- 240 meters above the "heart" of the Leviathan --
"Sniper, knock out that spore launcher for me! Kasumi Bullet Gunner, Assault! Heavy cover! ”
"Captain, Zach got shot!"
"Kiel, take over the Heavy! Attack with all your might, we must rush over! ”
Under his command, Captain Reynolds of the "Sand Scorpion King" squad was the supreme commander of the operation, and under his command, Team B, which had successfully assembled 80% of the troops, launched an attack from the main pipeline from the "heart" of the Leviathan to the outside world, and most of the Zerg who defended the "heart" were attracted here. And Mark's group A, because the landing sites were too scattered to assemble, simply made a roundabout way through the small passages that extended in all directions, intending to give Leviathan a "heart" from other directions.
"Keep up, I've opened the pathway." Kicking a wall of flesh open, Li Xinwei jumped directly out of the inclined passage, carrying ammunition packs and rocket launchers on his back, not jetpacks. However, this does not mean that he is unable to control his body in weightlessness, as he has miniature thrusters on all four limbs that assist him in his movements when needed.
After the leg thrust reverser device was activated, Li Xinwei still landed heavily, and the two big dogs passing by the passage were startled and immediately pounced. Li Xinwei didn't even use weapons, and at the moment when the two big dogs jumped up and bit one after another, he dodged sideways, grabbed a big dog with his left arm, and twisted the neck of the big dog with his bare hands.
"Huh-" Another big dog failed to hit Li Xinwei with a pounce, and after landing, he reflexively wanted to attack again, but he didn't expect a bayonet AGH to fall from the sky and nail it directly to the ground.
"Hehe, you can clean it up with one knife, why bother with hand-to-hand combat, it's really troublesome." Pulling AGH out of the big dog, Tang Xingfeng made a "yes" gesture at Li Xinwei. Li Xinwei threw away the body of the big dog, walked to Tang Xingfeng in two steps, and stomped on the head of the big dog, and in an instant, the brains splashed all over the legs of the two.
"This is called completely cleaning up, the tenacity of the Zerg's vitality is not something you can imagine." Li Xinwei looked down at Tang Xingfeng with his height, and the preaching meaning in his words was quite strong, which made Tang Xingfeng very unhappy. According to his personality, the odds of a fist swinging past him are quite high. However, the other party's combat effectiveness is stronger than his own, and if he does this, he will probably be disabled, after weighing, Tang Xingfeng chose to remain silent, but his head was still raised arrogantly, and he looked at Li Xinwei coldly.
"Why did you stop?" Sliding down from the inclined passage, seeing Tang Xingfeng and the two looking at each other coldly, Mark was a little surprised, how could this meeting be very similar......... What about two underworld fights?
"Boss, I've just cleaned up two big dogs." Seeing Mark's arrival, Tang Xingfeng took the lead in retracting his vicious gaze and walked to Mark's side in two steps.
"The brothers of the fleet and the Space Force are still fighting bloody battles outside, we have no time to delay, continue to move in the direction of the 'heart', act!" Although Li Xinwei's military rank is higher than Mark's, the orders he received are only to protect the safety of the squad after all, and if the commander of the squad gives him an order, he can only do his best to assist.
"Understood."
All of the human forces entering the Leviathan were moving in the direction of the "heart", which should have caught the attention of the commanding Leviathan Brain Worm, but the Arctic Fleet's attack was so fierce that the Brain Worm did not have the energy to take care of the inside of the battleship. Although the losses were heavy, it gave Mark and them a chance to protect Sharitz.
"General, the main engine of the cruiser Tarantula has been destroyed, and it is no longer possible to maneuver!"
"General, a swarm of self-exploding flying insects is approaching the One-Eyed Tarantula!"
General James jerked up from his seat, "Order them to evacuate!" Fast! ”
It was late, General James's order was given too late, the outer armor of the one-eyed tarantula cruiser had been covered with countless poisonous explosions, and the explosion began, it did not stop, and everyone knew that the one-eyed tarantula was finished.
Weakly sitting back in the command chair, General James sent a question to the "Brain Brain", "Has anyone escaped from the Tarantula?" ”
"General, none of the escape pods on the One-Eyed Tarantula have been fired, etc., I detected that the ship's control room is still functioning. General, the one-eyed tarantula's engines are overloaded. ”
"What's going on?" The general, who stood up again, clearly saw from the main monitor that the vector engine to the left of the one-eyed tarantula, which had already ignited a raging fire, started again, pushing the one-eyed tarantula towards the Leviathan at maximum power.
The overloaded nuclear power furnace exploded at the moment of the violent collision, and the Leviathan, who was close at hand, ate this close fist. The explosion of the nuclear power furnace turned the One-Eyed Tarantula into a super-large fragmentation high-explosive mine, and the port side of the Leviathan, which was subjected to the main impact, was blown out, knocking out hundreds of holes, and even the Leviathan's tentacles that corrected the Leviathan's course were blown off.
"Boom-" A loud explosion echoed inside the air-possessed Leviathan, and Mark felt a violent tremor in the narrow passage, which was no worse than an earthquake, and many warriors had to stick their bayonets into the walls to stabilize themselves.
"Captain, do you know what's going on?!"
"Is the Leviathan crazy?"
Captain Renault hid behind the bunker for a long time, the one-eyed tarantula explosion had a huge impact on the Leviathan, and a small amount of electromagnetic pulse from the nuclear explosion once again affected the brain wave release of the brain worm, taking advantage of this gap, Captain Renault got in touch with the fleet, however, it was not good news.
"Go on the offensive! The One-Eyed Tarantula rammed the Leviathan for cover, and hundreds of brothers died for us! Take this passage and give it to me! Loading the AGH16 with a grenade, Captain Renault rushed out of the bunker and rolled forward to dodge behind the corpse of a stinging snake. The many marines and Star Orbit commando soldiers hiding behind the bunker opened fire with all their might, barely suppressing the Zerg's spore launchers.
There are dozens of spore launchers at the end of the passage, and these honeycomb-like zerg "bunkers" will spray a spherical spor, and after hitting a creature or armor, the spherical spores will break open on the shell of the armor, and the high-efficiency corrosive liquid contained in it will enter the host, and the destruction efficiency is as high as that of high-strength sulfuric acid. Even if there are multiple layers of glass fiber in the middle of the marine's armor, this spore bullet will still be pierced after multiple hits, and then there is no need for the Zerg to do it, and the human soldier with unbalanced armor pressure will be finished by himself.
Hiding behind the corpse of the stinging snake, Captain Renault took a deep breath, when he passed through the fire blockade just now, several spore bullets almost hit him, although he is a mutant and can fight in space without armor, but revealing his identity is still unacceptable for him. However, it was a given that he was not hit, and Captain Reynolds did not bother with that, and turned on the secondary camera under the muzzle of the AGH16, and he extended the AGH from the side of the body.
"Bang ―――――"
"Bang--"
