Chapter Seventy-Nine: Through the Haze I

At 8 a.m. on January 15, 2071β€”β€”β€” 14 kilometers southwest of Shariz Star Base 004β€”β€”β€” the Xuanwu Assault Team was scheduled to assemble over the airβ€”β€”β€”

"Warning, less than 1500 meters from the ground, the descent is too fast, please slow down the descent immediately."

At this time, the sky of Shariz was unusual, covered with thick clouds, and visibility was so low that you could not see your fingers. At this time, the jetpack may be used to deviate greatly from the landing point, and in order to seize the time, Mark chose to continue falling. "Whewβ€”β€”β€” I'll be able to do it, a little lower."

The wind and smoke were constantly scraping Mark's armor like a blade, and if it were for ordinary people to bear it, they would probably have died from this high-speed friction long ago. The high-speed drop made Mark's heart rate and blood pressure rise to the highest point, but his "heart" was calm, and he even tried a few air spins with some yearning for the sky, just like those figure diving teams.

Less than a kilometer above the ground, the 004 Base Mountain Range, surrounded by clouds, finally revealed its true face. Turning on the bumper wings on either side of the jetpack, Mark went from a head-down dive to a glide level with the ground. The vector engines on both sides turned on at the same time, allowing Mark to keep gliding at a relatively low speed.

The 004 base is in the embrace of the mountains, and it can really save a lot of trouble to fly directly over like this, but the air supremacy is in the hands of the Zerg, and Mark doesn't want to be killed in the sky by the dragon's intestinal fluid bullet. So, when they were ejected by the "Cloud Storm" assault boat, Mark designated three assembly areas for the members of the Xuanwu team, and the assembly areas were all on the mountains surrounding Base 004, as long as they landed smoothly, they could touch Base 004 along the mountains.

"700 meters above the ground, please reduce your gliding speed."

Mark ignored the prompts of the armored landing system, and through the last telecommunication network at Base 004, Mark sent a communication request to the base's command.

"004 base, 004 base, this is the Xuanwu Star Rail Assault Team, please answer if you receive it. Repeat, here it is"

The radio was silent for a while, and then, a little electric sound from the blocked communication came from the radio, "Boomβ€”β€”β€”Boomβ€”β€”β€” Xuanwu Squad, this is the 004 base It's finally waiting for you, we can't hold it anymore, a large number of Zerg poured into the canyon, and the defense line was stretched very long. We have no air force cover, there are heavy casualties, and more than a thousand refugees have not boarded the ship, and we need to delay for another half hour. ”

"Bang β€”β€”β€”" There was a loud bang on the other end of the radio, as if something had been blown to pieces. A large number of Zerg hiss came from all around, and the marines around the communicator launched a charge in an angry shout, and the officer who communicated with Mark scolded "Fake" and sent a final request to Mark, "Captain Xuanwu, our defense line should not be able to hold it, you go directly to the defense wall of the base, there is our last defense squadron there." Now, it's time for me to do my last duty as a warrior and good luck. ”

The explosions, the dense gunfire, the screams of the zerg, and the shouts of the humans, along with the radio shutdown, all disappeared in an instant, and Mark was silent for a while, and then roared in the radio team channel: "Fu, ck, you haven't said which way to go to the base defense wall!" That's it! ”

"Captain, I'm over the landing area."

"Captain, I'm here too."

Mark restrained his thoughts for a moment and ordered: "All those who have arrived, all land, build a defensive circle, and cover the landing of others." ”

"300 meters above the ground, please slow down immediately."

"Got it!"

There was a huge cloud of fire in the direction of Base 004, it was supposed that the defense force had activated the self-destruct weapon, and Mark found that he couldn't seem to change anything other than shouting at the Zerg.

With the gray-blue permafrost ridge already within easy reach, Mark turned off one side of the vector engine, turned it 180Β° and restarted the vector engine, adjusting it to down-jet and turning on the main engine. Falling at high speed, Mark quickly slowed down, and by the time he was still 20 meters above the ground, he was already alive after falling to the ground. Of course, the premise is that it falls to the ground, not a ridge of a permafrost structure.

"The inclination is 137Β°, and the buffer conditions are satisfied."

Mark turned off the Jetpack main engine just before colliding with the ridge, the vector engine switched to a balance maintenance angle, and the electromagnetic catapult on the sole of his foot started in an electromagnetic acceleration state.

"Wowβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”"

In the slight grinding sound, the mark resembles a modern (?) Like the martial arts master in the film and television program, his feet alternately borrowed on the sloping mountain wall, and before the single energy consumption of the electromagnetic acceleration run, Mark successfully "ran" to the gentle valley ground.

Running on an extremely sloping hill wall and braking at the end was special, and among the various maneuvers, Mark chose the most skilled somersault. When he landed steadily, he couldn't help but break a sentence, "I'll go, I almost took my life off, and I won't be airborne like this again." ”

Wiping a handful of sweat that didn't exist on his head through the armor, Mark removed the GPS from his waist (for everyone's understanding, let's use this thing, after all, Uncle Sam's technology is the most developed), and after determining the current position, he began to guide the rest of the team to land.

"Xuanwu Squad, quickly move closer to me, we are running out of time."

"Captain, we're landing!"

"Not everyone can run on a wall like you do!"

Most of the members of the Xuanwu Commando team used the jetpack to alternately spray the front and rear main engines to complete the airdropping, and when they landed, their biological armor eliminated the shock force by softening the body, so there was no need to be as hard as Mark. Only a very small part of the team had a small accident, and some of them fell to the landing point in embarrassment, but they were protected by biomechanical armor and no casualties.

With no casualties, Mark let out a long sigh of relief. Time was pressing, and after Mark gathered his teammates, he ran straight to base 004 under the guidance of GPS. The nature of the mission of the Star Rail Commando determines that most of the time they have to be outnumbered behind enemy lines. According to Mark, this is the Death Squad Reserve, and he will definitely not go to the Star Rail Commando.

Mark: Their landing point is in the mountains more than ten kilometers southwest of Base 004, because there are usually no people passing, so the mountain road is so rugged that it can't be called a road. A team of stubborn Star Rail Commando fighters, with the advantage of equipment, forcibly ran wild on such a road. The Zerg's attack on Base 004 has not stopped for a moment, and the defending troops must be exhausted, and it is already the limit to be able to hold on until now.

"Captain, is it realistic for us and the Suzaku squad to go to base 004 to carry out this so-called rescue mission?"

Although it was tiring to run fast, the Xuanwu 005 team members still couldn't hold back their curiosity and asked Mark, who was running at the front. Because he was on the radio team's channel, the rest of the team could hear it and echo it, expressing their opinions.

Mark exhaled hard and stopped running, now standing in a position that overlooked the entire 004 base. "Brothers, we haven't known each other for a long time, but I still want you to believe me. Our actions are very meaningful. ”

Time was of the essence, and Base 004 was about to be breached, and Mark did not have time to share his insights or discoveries with his teammates. After determining the nearest route to the side gate of the base from the vantage point, Mark rushed down the mountain with the fourteen members of the Xuanwu team that had been assembled. There was no news from the Suzaku team and the rest of the team, and the radio long-range communication was not interfered with, which showed ......... Thinking of this, Mark already had the intention of completing this task alone.

The perimeter of Base 004's defensive wall was originally home to many buildings, either mineral processing plants or civilian buildings. But now, those buildings are all in ruins. The fire is burning, the smoke is filling, the Zerg bioplasma and the human's own artillery fire have caused all this. In the smoke of gunpowder, countless Zerg are carrying out a general attack on Base 004, they cross the barricades of the base in a wild roar, step on the corpses of their companions and humans, and rush to the defense wall of the base without fear of death, stacking the "ladder" over the defense wall with flesh and blood.

If human beings fight head-on with the Zerg who are not afraid of death without any geographical advantages, I am afraid that the battle will be extremely difficult, and the feeling of being targeted by a lifeless beast is unbearable for ordinary people. Fortunately, our relatively developed human technology allows us to fight positional warfare. Millions, we're still holding on to it.

As soon as they ran down the hill along the path built by the sentinels, Mark and the others got into trouble with rocks and old-fashioned mines, and I don't know what the sappers who defended the base thought, this kind of place is a mine, or an old-fashioned tripping mine, isn't this a trap? Well, pit bugs, too, if they're going to pass through here.

"Captain, this is a minefield, these mines don't have a friend or foe identification system, we can't go through."

β€œbang—————”

Mark raised his hand and gave Xuanwu 017 a slap, and just as Xuanwu 017 was puzzled, Mark pointed to his jet pack.

"Why are you so stupid, your head doesn't turn? The Star Rail Commando is still a Star Rail Commando on the ground! ”

Xuanwu 017 scratched his head in confusion, he still didn't understand, "This is, but what does this have to do with us passing through the minefield?" ”

Seeing this, Xuanwu 001, who was originally the acting captain of the Xuanwu team, couldn't help it.

β€œbang—————”

Another blow to the chestnut, Xuanwu 017 squatted aside with a helmet that had been knocked off a layer of heat insulation paint and drew a circle. Xuanwu 001 clapped his hands and explained for Mark, "I usually tell you to pay more attention to extended knowledge outside of combat, but you don't listen. Ahem, let me explain, we're Star Rail Commandos, and many of our missions require trekking, so we have this multi-purpose jetpack. The minefield will stop the Zerg and the normal marines, but it can't stop the Star Rail Commandos who will 'fly'. Think about it, can the Zerg and ordinary marines who can come down from the mountains be simple? yes, Captain. Ay? What about the captain? ”

Just as the team members looked around for Mark, Mark's voice suddenly came over the radio, "If we make small talk for a while, Base 004 will probably fall." Everyone, go to the hill to the west of Base 004 now, and you'll be responsible for clearing the remnants of the enemy later. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

After arranging the actions of the soldiers, Mark took out the GPS of the ** body again. Not only does it navigate, it also has satellite images that are always up to date, and most importantly, it has the guidance rights of the Prism array cannon.

The Zerg that launched an attack on the defensive wall of Base 004 could only pass through a narrow valley due to the restrictions of the mountains. After "looking" and the armored computer combined observations, Mark determined that firing at this position would be the most effective.

"Identity information is being verified......... After the check is completed, request the central computer to call the 'prism' resource......... Gain access to three main guns. Proofreading the stationing of our troops in the strike area......... Without our troops, we can strike. Charge is complete and can be fired. ”

"It's a bit of a hassle, but it's time to tell you about it, ugly bug." With that, Mark aimed the GPS at the strike ground, locked the IR guide rays, and pressed the launch confirmation button.

"Locking complete, array cannon salvo."

"Whooshβ€”β€”β€”β€”"

Three rainbow rays of light fell from the sky, and the target was directly aimed at the canyon break, and the strong Chinese army of the Zerg that passed here suffered a devastating blow. Under the impact of high temperature energy of thousands of degrees Celsius, the water of the frozen soil in the canyon was completely evaporated, the soil was burned into glass, and more than ten thunder beasts, which were the main force of the siege, together with a large number of small zergs, turned into flying ashes. The energy diffusion shockwave also shattered the nearby Zerg formation, and the Zerg's attack on Base 004 was completely interrupted.

"The array cannon is really diao explosion!"

"Haha, it's relieving, it's rare to see the Zerg so miserable!"

"Good captain, one more shot to burn the Zerg to the ground."

Mark stood up from a half-kneeling position, the jetpack recharged, and the modified AGH was in his hands. Although he also wanted to have another shot, it took a long time for the "Prism" to be recharged after a shot, so he could only pretend to yell at the team members with a lack of energy: "What are you screaming, if the 'Prism' can destroy the Zerg, what else do we need to do?" Follow me and wipe out the remnants of the Zerg. ”

The Star Rail commandos who had just arrived at Xiaoshan Bao installed the CK-90 with a silencing tube, the reverse electromagnetic catapult on the soles of their feet was activated, the jet backpack was promoted, and more than a dozen "electric skateboard shoes" fighters launched a charge. When they were about to meet the enemy, they didn't forget to make fun of Mark, who was rushing towards this place with all his might.

"Yes, captain, we'll 'follow' you."

"Captain, you're too fast, I can't catch up, wah!"

"There's no way, I can only keep up with the Zerg, haha."

The Marine armor doesn't have a taxiing function, so Mark can only use electromagnetic acceleration to run towards the Zerg, "Wow, a bunch of stinky boys." I'll clean you up after the battle, charge! ”

"Roar β€”β€”β€”β€”"
