Chapter Fifty-Nine: Under the Sea of Worms
January 14, 2070 -- Shariz Star Pleg Heights -- Toothblade Fortress --
"Great, there are still a few 'Gripper Tiger' assault vehicles in good condition, let's get in the car and kill from the north gate, the road in that direction has not been damaged, and there are relatively few zergs."
"Sergeant, the gate is broken, we can't get out."
Luo Tao looked at the gate stuck in the middle of the road, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. Jumping onto a mechanical giant with a broken leg, Luo Tao turned the "Pacifier" into erection mode and aimed the damaged gate with a heavy cannon.
"Everybody gets in the car, it might be a bit loud later."
The fighters quickly boarded the "Gripper" assault vehicle, and after quickly starting the engine, they turned and aimed the front of the car at the gate.
"Walking."
"Whoosh-"
With the push of the launch button, a rocket flew out of the shoulders of the "pacifiers", and with a loud bang, the lightly damaged gate was completely destroyed. Several "Grabbers" sped out, one of which stopped next to the "Pacifier", and Luo Tao jumped on top of the machine gun position at once.
"Let's go, drive out on Avenue 14!"
The on-board navigation system has sorted out the current traffic situation of the Tooth Blade Fortress, and after a quick comparison, Avenue 14, which is rarely visited in normal times, has become the first choice for escape. The sound of a huge explosion spread far away, and many wandering Zerg were lured over, naturally forming a huge encirclement of the hangar.
There are not too many Zerg on Avenue 14, and every time a Zerg appears in sight, the machine gunner of the front assault vehicle will quickly kill them, which allows Luo Tao and the others to drive all the way and escape towards the Toothblade Fortress. If this had been the case, they should have been able to get out without a hitch, but it was clear that the Zerg didn't want them to run away like that. So, after running out of the bend and winding for more than ten kilometers, Luo Tao and the others encountered a large number of attacks from the Zerg.
"Zerg!"
"Bang-"
With a loud bang, the No. 1 "Gripper Tiger" that rushed to the front turned into a fireball, and the "Gripper Tiger" following behind had to make an emergency avoidance, and two "Gripper Tigers" that failed to brake crashed into the side barricades. It is not surprising that the No. 1 car was attacked, and the poisonous explosive insects had been dormant on the side of the road for a long time, and rushed up at full speed at the moment when the No. 1 "Grasping Tiger" passed by. It is really normal for several poisonous explosives to blow up a lightly armed assault vehicle.
"Shoot back! Poisonous Explosive Bugs! β
The last "Gripper Tiger" did not crash into the side of the barricade because of its timely reaction, and Luo Tao, who was sitting on the "Gripper Tiger", turned his machine gun and launched an attack on the Zerg rushing to the right. Dense bullets were fired, and the Zerg that charged in a straight line fell in rows, and some of the poisonous explosion insects that were hit with the poison sac exploded directly, and many of their own kind around them were tragically affected. Taking advantage of Luo Tao's firepower to suppress the Zerg on one side, the two "Gripping Tigers" that rushed into the barricade retreated and retreated to both sides of the No. 4 "Gripper Tigers", and the convoy continued to move forward in a sagittal formation.
In less than two minutes, more than a thousand Zerg gathered here to launch an attack on the "Grasping Tiger" convoy. If it weren't for the remaining eight "Gripping Tigers" gathering in time to build a powerful firepower network, then these Zerg would definitely be able to tear them to pieces.
"Roarβ"
Although there were many thousands of Zerg, they were quickly wiped out in the face of the powerful firepower of the vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns. At this moment, a distant roar came from afar, and the owner of that voice was the god of death who harvested life to Luo Tao and them.
"Quick! Get out! It's a steel beetle! β
In fact, Luo Tao didn't need to know about the soldiers, but when he roared like this, the fear in everyone's hearts was stimulated, and they hurriedly launched the "Grasping Tiger" and drove towards the outside of the Toothblade Fortress. Steel Beetle, a simple three words, is named after the Tooth Blade Fortress with the lives of tens of thousands of people, if it weren't for it, the Tooth Blade Fortress would definitely not have been attacked.
The "Gripper Tiger" is a four-wheeled wide-chassis light assault vehicle, which can carry three marines at a time, and Luo Tao and others can ride it, and the escape speed is outrageously fast, but even if it is such a fast assault vehicle, in the face of air threats, it can only be said that "I am a snail".
Luo Tao escaped from the Toothblade Fortress with the surviving soldiers of the third company, but as soon as they arrived on the plain, they were attacked by the Zerg Air Force, and the three "Grasping Tigers" that could not react were destroyed on the spot, and none of the marines on the car were spared.
"Bastard! Knock them down! β
"Beat it up!"
Accompanied by angry shouts, vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns, automatic rifles, individual shoulder-mounted bazookas, and various weapons attacked the flying dragons and locusts hovering in the air. Destroying a large number of Zerg, the soldiers of the Third Company should have been happy, but in the next moment, they screamed in surprise.
"Thunderbeast!"
"Get out of the way!"
The ground in front of the convoy suddenly cracked, and a giant zerg with a height of seven stories came out of the ground, its nearly ten-meter-long fangs waved violently, and the two "grasping tigers" that could not dodge were beaten into scrap metal and flew out of the hundreds of meters before stopping. As for the few marines sitting in the car, they have long been a pile of rotten meat.
Luo Tao's "Gripping Tiger" almost rushed over the edge of the fangs, and when the fangs swung over, the broken air almost made the small parts on the "Gripping Tiger" fly away from the car, but it was also this risky rush that Luo Tao and his two team members successfully broke out of the Zerg round-up circle. The "Ground Tiger" that went in other directions was overturned to the ground by a large number of Zerg emerging from the ground in the next moment, and all the soldiers in the car fell into the sea of worms. Luo Tao, who tried to call his subordinates by radio, only heard a rumbling explosion on the radio, and none of those soldiers survived.
"Bastard!"
Turning the on-board machine gun, Luo Tao pulled the trigger to the bottom, and the dense bullets shot into the sky with his anger, shooting down the chasing flying dragons one by one. He hated, he hated why he couldn't save those comrades, those who died, they were all brothers who ate the same pot of rice as him!
"Company commander, which direction are we going?"
Holding back their grief, the driver asked Luo Tao, after all, if they successfully escaped, they had to complete the last task assigned by Lieutenant Roger, which was their last responsibility as soldiers of the Third Company.
"Let's go to Base 020, Uncle Ye is there, I can directly report to him what happened in the Toothblade Fortress."
"Yes."
The car navigation system has automatically marked the nearest route to the 020 base, Luo Tao and they only need to follow the guide line. But just when they thought they were safe, above a canyon they were about to pass through, a large group of Zerg had already completed an ambush
