Chapter Seventy-Nine: Through the Haze II

At 8 a.m. on January 15, 2071β€”β€”β€” the outer defense line of Shariz Star Base 004 β€”β€”β€” the Xuanwu Star Orbit Commandoβ€”β€”β€”

"Bang β€”β€”β€” Bang - Bang β€”β€”β€”"

"Chirp β€”β€”β€”"

The members of the Xuanwu commando team slid all the way down from the hill bag, carrying a single high-explosive grenade and a silencing CK-90 armor-piercing bullet and kept beckoning towards the Zerg, and the Zerg, who were already dizzy, were directly stunned, and the formation became more and more chaotic. = It was only then that Mark, who was still running wildly, made contact with the defenses inside Base 004, and his rapid charge slowed down. To be in the case of Ah

"Wowβ€”β€”β€” call call, this is the 004 base defense wall garrison, is it the Xuanwu commando outside the base?"

The voice on the other end of the radio was urgent, and from the background sound of the radio, it seemed that something terrible was going on inside the base.

"This is the Xuanwu Commando, I am the captain of the Xuanwu 000, 004 base, please speak."

"Captain Xuanwu, I am the deputy captain of the 004 base garrison, your 'prism' guidance just now was very successful, and the data we have observedβ€”β€”β€”β€” at least 14,000 zergs have been wiped out in the shock wave, which is really great."

Looking at the team members who were in the midst of a fierce battle with the Zerg, Mark said, "Well, we plan to wipe out the remnants of the Zerg on the periphery of the base, and we hope you can help." ”

There was silence on the other side of the radio for a while, as if he was considering, and taking advantage of this intermission, Mark turned off the microphone and ran to the rear of the team in one breath, and the reinforced AGH automatic rifle in his hand was raised, and the Zerg under the hill were accurately sniped. It wasn't until Mark slowly emptied half of the magazine that the commander of the garrison at Base 004 came with a reply.

"Captain Xuanwu, the current situation at the base is very bad, and we can only send two 'Rippers' to support you. If you can eliminate the Zerg outside the base, it will be great, if not, you can withdraw from Gate 4. ”

"Two 'rippers' are good, at least we have heavy firepower. Commander, please let the mechanical giants strike quickly. ”

"Captain Xuanwu, the 'Ripper' has attacked."

Just as Mark had cleared out the regular and armor-piercing magazines, and was about to replace them, two mechanical warriors painted in camouflage burst out of a side door at Base 004. Before the Xuanwu team and the remnants of the Zerg could figure out the situation, more than a dozen rockets were fired, and all the Zerg who had just gathered under the hill and tried to attack were blown into the sky.

The Xuanwu team, which was originally in a firepower vacuum because of the replacement of the magazine, got this firepower cover and successfully avoided a short encounter with the Zerg. After reloading the ammunition, they slaughtered the Zerg who had launched a random attack, and by this time, half of the remaining living force of the Zerg had been wiped out after the "Prism" strike.

Just as the Star Orbit Commandos and the Rippers were about to go one step further and wipe out the Zerg scattered outside the base, Mark's terrified roar suddenly appeared on the public radio channel.

"Retreat, retreat to Base 004! A large number of Zerg Wyverns are approaching, and if you don't want to be their live target, run away. NND, it's coming so fast. ”

Before the words fell, Mark had already rushed to Base 004 first, he had used a "look" before, and the intercepted brainwave signal confirmed that a large number of Zerg air forces were rushing here.

For Mark's words, the members of the Xuanwu Commando chose to believe unconditionally. After leaving the battlefield with grenades, they also rushed to base 004. This was both obedience to orders and the fact that Mark was a "sensitizer", and they vaguely guessed a little. However, not everyone believed Mark, such as the drivers of the two "Rippers" at Base 004, who were completely dismissive of Mark's words.

"How is it possible, the radar of the base has not yet given warning."

"It's just, you don't have any basis, what nonsense."

The two "Rippers" had no intention of retreating, and after finding a suitable position to attack, they entered the fortified erection mode, with secondary mechanical supports extending from the edges of their main limbs, holding them to the ground. After completing the fixation, the Grimm cannon and rocket launcher that are standard with the guardian "Ripper" are in full swing, slaughtering the Zerg on the wide flat ground outside the 004 base, walking with an increased ammunition pack, they do not save ammunition at all.

"Well done!"

"Tear those bugs!"

The human warriors standing at the top of the base's defensive walls applauded the "Ripper", and many Marines emerged from cover and waved their weapons. They were really excited to be able to beat the Zerg so badly. Mark, who had already run to the side door of Base 004, could not see all this, but he could "see" people's emotions, "see" the images of the Zerg, and the excited conversations in the radio communication, which also made it clear to him what was happening. However, he did not feel a trace of joy, only a soft sigh.

The soldiers of the Star Rail Commando Team soon caught up, and when they saw Mark shaking their heads there, Xuanwu 017, who had the most words, asked again, "Captain, what's wrong?" ”

Mark didn't answer, inserting his ID card into the side door of Base 004, and after unlocking it through A-level clearance, the alloy gate weighing forty tons slowly rose up. As the captain, Mark entered the base, and the confused Star Rail Commandos had to follow. It wasn't until the heavy gate was lowered behind him that Mark turned to look at the rest of the team.

The air inside the defensive wall was treated, and based on the principle of economy, Mark turned off the oxygen supply system of the armor, opened the visor, and breathed the air directly outside. However, he seemed to have forgotten that he no longer needed oxygen after the mutation. I don't blame him for this, what normal person would think that he doesn't need oxygen.

"You're all weird, aren't you?"

Mark pulls out a fiber handkerchief and wipes down a reinforced AGH rifle, which makes the team think Mark has a plan. In fact, it was a sign of Mark's nervousness.

The most talkative Xuanwu 017 didn't pretend to mark b (?) Opportunity to say bluntly: "Captain, don't sell it, just say why." ”

"Yes, Captain."

Mark frowned, obviously very unhappy about this, I saved your lives again, this attitude? Raising his right hand and pointing at the monitor installed next to the side door of the base, Mark stopped talking.

At Mark's prompting, a part of the Xuanwu team jumped to the monitor, opened the visor, and looked outside the base. Those who failed to grab the position were connected to the camera outside the electronic door through the wireless receiver mounted on the armor and watched directly.

Mark took out a piece of chewing gum from the item compartment on the left side of his breastplate and chewed it to himself, he had seen a lot of death, and his spirit was slightly numb.

"Those two drivers didn't listen to the persuasion, and they could only blame themselves for what they had suffered."

Thinking like this, Mark simply sat on the ground, anyway, the person in charge of the base will take the initiative to come to him for a while, so it is better to rest for a while. It was also at this time that the air defense alarm at the base was sounded, and it was a red alert for the imminent enemy.

"Woo~~~~~"

This sudden change startled the "Ripper" pilot, who was fighting outside the base, and many soldiers at the top of the base's defensive wall also panicked and drilled into the bunker. The two "Rippers" who were fighting fiercely with the remnants of the Zerg also hurriedly left the battlefield and rushed to the base, but unfortunately, it was too late.

"Hiss β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”"

With a hissing that resounded through the sky, tens of thousands of grinning dragons appeared above Base 004 through the thick clouds, covering the sky and the sun, as if the end had come. After the dark clouds fell, it was followed by heavy rain, but this rain was a corrosive rain formed by dense intestinal fluid bombs.

The covering blow of the intestinal bullet covered the entire defensive wall, and the defense facilities were severely damaged, and the two "Rippers" who desperately escaped did not escape the catastrophe. Under the continuous blow of a large number of intestinal fluid bullets, the high-strength armor of the "Ripper" lasted only a few moments before turning into residues. The pilots in the mech were even worse, as the mechanical giants' escape gear was destroyed by the corrosive fluid, and they could only watch as the liquid with death devoured them. Knowing that they would not be able to escape together, but they could not immediately die and get rid of the pain, the desperate and heart-rending howls of the two pilots were transmitted over the radio, causing the humans hiding in Base 004 to tremble and break out in a cold sweat.

The anti-aircraft missiles at base 004 have long been exhausted in the previous rounds of attacks, and now only anti-aircraft guns are left to inflict a large number of casualties on the Wyvern. However, the fire intensity of the anti-aircraft guns is relatively low, and in the absence of missiles to disperse the swarm, the anti-aircraft guns that break out of cover and attack the Zerg will basically be destroyed by the Zerg's counterattack. But at this critical moment, he couldn't take care of these anymore, and the commander of Base 004 gritted his teeth and gave the order to attack.

Hundreds of anti-aircraft guns were pushed out of the bunker at the same time, and there was no need to aim at all, and they directly spat out tongues of fire at the diving dragons, forming a cross-fire network that enveloped the dense group of flying dragons, accompanied by "corrosive rain", and constantly had broken wings and a large amount of minced flesh and blood smashed to the ground. Even so, the swarm flying over the base had no intention of dodging, and while being attacked by the anti-aircraft guns, countless intestinal fluid shells also hit the many anti-aircraft guns in the roar.

While the Zerg Air Force and the human air defense forces were fighting fiercely, the follow-up of the Zerg on the ground also rushed to the battlefield. They stepped on the charred corpses of their companions, fearlessly rushed to the base defense wall, and during the charge, the Zerg kept roaring wildly, and the indomitable momentum smashed into the hearts of the human warriors like a sledgehammer. Fear has always been humanity's worst enemy. However, there is another thing called courage.

The defensive wall is the last 004 base barrier, and the armored troops deployed on top of the defensive wall and the marines in the bunkers of the defensive wall have long been full of strength, and after the Zerg enter the firing range, a dense network of fire covers them.........

Flesh is torn apart by projectiles, steel is pierced by claws, and under the thickening clouds of Sharitz, two races destined to become enemies are engaged in a fierce battle. No one cared if it was day or night, the clouds of war had completely obscured the sky, and all that remained in this barren land was bloodthirst, despair, and death.........

The "bang β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”" magazine is empty, and the barrel is already red, but the Zerg has not been repulsed and cannot stop firing.

The "Clickβ€”β€”β€”" battle has lasted for an hour, and the magazines on his body have long been used up, taking out the last three magazines from the reserve ammunition box of the bunker, Tom quickly loaded the AGH14, pulled the bolt, and Li Hao once again aimed at the dense Zerg outside the bunker.

"Bang bang β€”β€”β€”β€”bang

By the time he finished firing this magazine, the number of Zerg corpses piled up outside the bunker had increased by more than a dozen. In an explosion, the shooting hole was completely obscured, and a large dog that had been blown off half of its body by a grenade finally blocked the bunker inside the wall, which was at the highest point of the defensive wall. Here, it is twenty meters high from the ground, which means that the Zerg has piled up the corpses to such a high level.

The big dog's blown up internal organs splashed Li Hao's body, and just as he was nervously preparing to get on the bayonet and fight the Zerg hand-to-hand, a cheer made him stop moving.

"Killed, Zerg killed! We've held the base! ”

"It's really killed......... We won! ”

"Win!"

The air power of the Zerg was wiped out half an hour ago, and the Xuanwu team exhausted all the cloud storm bombs it carried, assisting the anti-aircraft guns of the 004 base to reverse the tide of the battle, although the anti-aircraft guns were also destroyed by more than eighty percent, but they won the battle after all.

Without the intervention of air power, the follow-up forces of the Zerg, who did not have a large attacking unit, engaged in a fierce battle with the human defenders who had no heavy firepower. At the height of their attack, the Zerg once occupied nearly half of the city walls, but the human defenders finally repelled them with their geographical advantages and determination to fight against the water.

Emerging from the bunker full of corpses and blood, Li Hao came to the top of the base defense wall full of dead corpses, and as those comrades shouted, there was no longer a living Zerg outside the base. At this time, Li Hao, who was already a little numb, finally stopped being silent, roared loudly, and hugged and cried with his comrades in the bunker next door.........

Lying on top of a defensive wall bunker, Mark silently pulled out a few spinal conical bullets stuck in his cuirassa, no one knew what he was thinking, no one wanted to know, but he could know something that others were thinking, which was the ability of the sensitizer, but it was also a kind of sadness.

In the battle just now, Mark and the Xuanwu team he led performed well, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they held up half the sky. They used cloudburst shells to break up the dense group of dragons, giving the anti-aircraft artillery group a chance to weave a network of fire and strangle the dragons that flew up and down to avoid their comrades, without the need to exchange casualties for casualties. When the Zerg rushed to the defensive wall of the base, the scattered defenders of Base 004 were unable to repel it at all, and the defensive wall was about to be occupied by the Zerg. At this moment of crisis, Mark and his comrades from the Xuanwu Commando launched a counter-charge against the Zerg, charging and shooting combined with hand-to-hand combat, and the Xuanwu Squad directly drove the Worm Swarm off the defensive wall, but in the process, two commandos unfortunately died.

"Whew-sssβ€”β€”β€”ss

Pulling out the last of the cone bullets, Mark's eyes, closed in pain, slowly opened. Looking at the sky without the dragon obscuring, he sighed with mixed emotions, the joy of victory, the pain of losing his comrades, and the inexplicable sense of confusion, these things were too heavy for Mark, who was still very young.

The haze from the Wyvern clouds has been dispelled, but there are still a lot of gray clouds in the sky, and the clouds are getting thicker and thicker as time goes on.

No longer looking at the sky, clenching the nameplate of his dead comrade in his hand, Mark flipped off the top of the bunker, and at this time Xiao Sticky had repaired the damage to the armor, and the armor's defense returned to its normal state.

The rest of the commando team was waiting for Mark at the intersection and beckoned, and Mark walked straight to the command room of Base 004, and the team members followed. Everyone in the commando team knew that their mission was about to begin
