Chapter 66 Troop Build-up
January 15, 2071 4:20 a.m. -- 12th basement floor of Shariz Star -- Conference Room --
"Grandpa, grandpa, I'm here." Phil, who was sitting on Mark's shoulder, waved at Lieutenant General James, which startled Mark below. Holding up Lieutenant General James's granddaughter, although it was a bit hasty, it didn't have a big impact, but he was a "sensitizer", which felt like kidnapping General James's granddaughter.
Lieutenant General James, accompanied by his adjutant, walked over slowly, and the officers who had already taken their seats stood up one after another and saluted Lieutenant General James. Seeing the lieutenant general coming, Mark didn't dare to do anything else, his left shoulder remained motionless, and he raised his right hand to salute Lieutenant General James.
"Lieutenant General is good!" Mark suddenly became serious, so that Phil, who was sitting on his shoulder, couldn't help but laugh, and also saluted Lieutenant General James in Mark's way.
"Lieutenant General is good, hee-hee."
"Phil, don't make a fuss, come down, Warrant Officer Mark still has an important task to perform." Lieutenant General James was very happy when his granddaughter Phil returned from recovery, but seeing her sitting on Mark's shoulder, Lieutenant General James suddenly became nervous. The information said that Mark's armor surface is composed of a variety of Zerg organizations, Phil has just recovered, in case of repeated infection, Lieutenant General James no longer dares to think about it, he even has the urge to kill Mark immediately, but thinking that Phil is still next to him, and the task must be carried out by a "sensitor", Lieutenant General James has to suppress this impulse.
"Grandpa, aren't you officers in a meeting, Uncle Mark is only a warrant officer, he won't attend this meeting, I want him to play with me." Phil looked at Mark and pointed to his leg, signaling that he couldn't walk yet, which made Mark entangled when he tried to put Phil down and quickly lead the mission away.
"Phil, Warrant Officer Mark has an important mission at stake, and the survival of Shariz is at stake, and he can't play with you anymore. I'll have a chance to play again when the mission is over. Adjutant, send Fei'er back to her room. ”
"Yes, General."
In Sharitz, General James's words could not be questioned, and even his favorite granddaughter would not be treated kindly at such times. Taking Phil from Mark's shoulder, the adjutant walked straight to the infirmary.
Held in the arms of the adjutant, Phil looked lost, but she still kept looking at Mark, and at the moment when she was about to leave the conference room, she shouted at Mark, "Uncle Mark, you must come back to play with me!" ”
Mark, who was already about to turn around and return to the queue, stopped, looking at Phil with an expectant face, Mark opened his visor and smiled at her, "When the mission is over, I will definitely come to play with Phil." ”
"Uncle, pull the hook, don't go back." Although far away, Phil still stretched out her little hand to Mark. Mark was a little sentimental, nodded to Fei'er, and also stretched out his right hand, and the two pulled the hook in the air.
"Miss Phil, it's time for us to go." General James glanced again, and the adjutant didn't dare to stay any longer, and walked straight out of the conference room with Phil in his arms.
With all the distractions gone, General James finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after arranging for Mark and the others to sit down, he closed the door to the conference room and activated the holographic projector in the conference room.
"Guys, just five minutes ago, we received bad news." With that sentence, General James shut his mouth, lit a cigarette and paced there. It wasn't until he had finished smoking a cigarette that General James stopped and glanced around the room, his nod, and all eyes were on him.
"The Antarctic base was destroyed by the Zerg seven minutes ago, or rather by a nuclear bomb. The senior generals of the United States and the Commonwealth escaped on one of the only remaining cruisers in the Southern Hemisphere, and then they launched an attack on the Antarctic base with the strategic nuclear bombs carried by the cruisers. More than 500,000 people and more than 10 million Zergs were all burned to dust by that 'Starlight' class nuclear bomb, and maybe there was no dust left. After saying this, General James let out a long sigh, everyone's expressions were heavy, this news was really unacceptable.
Taking a deep breath, General James put aside all the psychological burden, and with the empty finger of his right hand, the holographic projector showed a huge and terrifying space zerg in front of everyone. The huge Zerg was the size of thirty battleships combined, and when the battleship was compared to it, all the marines gasped.
"This thing is the Leviathan, because it can travel through space without using engines, so our spectral comparison detection network didn't detect it in the first place, but that doesn't mean that our radar network won't detect it when we approach the planet, but by that time it has generally released a huge army of wyverns and self-detonating bugs. Well, you can also find this news on the military network, so I won't talk about it, and then let's talk about the main points. In this operation, with our existing warships and space fighters, it will be difficult to defeat it or stop it, and once it reacts and sends out a swarm, we will be gnawed to pieces. General James waved his finger slightly, and the image displayed by the holographic projector became an asteroid belt in outer space of Sharitz.
"There are quite a few asteroids in this location, and we're going to ambush the Leviathan in this area, where the Advance Team has planted several NMR bombs. Before we attack, the pulse bomb will explode, preventing the brainworms on the Leviathan from interfering with our communications and monitoring your location. Of course, we can't communicate with you outside or guide you on the way, and once you're in the Leviathan you'll have to follow the 'Sensers' warriors, who will lead you to the core of the Leviathan. Twenty minutes after the NMR interference takes effect, the brain worm should not be able to command all the zerg, this is the golden time for you to enter the core, and after twenty minutes we can no longer guarantee anything. The nuclear bomb you are carrying is a million tons, and the detonation timer is set to be 45 minutes, which is our only chance to intercept the Leviathan, and those who do not escape within the allotted time will be killed by the nuclear bomb or the Zerg. If there are people who want to quit, you can still quit now, maybe you can still squeeze into the evacuated spaceship. ”
When General James finished speaking and asked the last sentence, everyone's faces changed, what is this? This is *naked contempt! No one spoke or moved, and everyone sat quietly in their seats, their eyes different, but they all stared at General James.
After staring at the soldiers for a full minute, General James's serious expression eased slightly, "Very good, they are all pure masters." ”
"Report to the general, I'm a woman!" Gerry suddenly burst out with a sentence that put the extremely serious General James in an embarrassing position. Seeing the soldiers' faces flushed from wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, General James had to change his words, "Ahem-well, they're all brave and fearless warriors!" Now, everyone immediately go and pick up the space combat equipment, and immediately after the equipment is completed, go to the battleship berthing area of the base, where I will be waiting for you. Disband! ”
"Yes!"
