CHAPTER XXIX

December 17, 2070 23:07 __Shariz Star Centipede Rift Valley__Underground Cave__

After running for more than an hour, Mark and the others kept walking around the underground passage, unable to find an exit or see Watts, in vain. Thankfully, they didn't encounter too many Zerg along the way, but they did not go in danger. "El, we may be lost." "What do you mean by possibility? We're already lost, okay? Think about how you can find the Watts and them, or go out and find reinforcements. Sitting down on a stone on the side of the road, Mark waved his hand helplessly. Do I want to know that I'm still going around here? The ground was full of Zerg footprints, and there was no sign of other creatures at all, let alone a few big living people like Watts. Damn, there are so many zergs still running around, how can you find them?! "Wait, Mark, you said the Zerg were running around?" "Yes, there are a lot of footprints, and most of them are in one direction." After saying this, Mark and El were stunned, and then said in unison: "Those zergs are a formed army!" Mark clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Huazi, they may have been captured by this Zerg force, we should be able to find them if we follow these footprints." It's all my fault, we shouldn't have left them! "Mark, it's not anyone's fault, we did what we had to do, and Watts they won't blame us." "Stop talking, eat some 'toothpaste) (a dehydrated food that comes in a toothpaste-like plastic box and is extremely high in energy. 'After a while, we continued to chase Watts and them.' "Hmm."

Taking out a "toothpaste" from his backpack, Mark shoved it into the helmet through the airtight valve on the lower part of the helmet, squeezing it the outside, and all the high-energy food in the toothpaste flew into his mouth. "The beef tastes good, it's not bad, I don't know how Lao Liu is doing." "yes, alas...... The landing of the Akagi in Shariz was so miserable that it simply hit the fangs of the Zerg, hoping that Lao Liu and they would find the main force. "Well, I hope so. But that's not what we're supposed to care about right now, the priority now is to find and rescue the Watz and them, let's go. Throwing away the empty box of "toothpaste", following the trail of the Zerg, Mark and El walked together into the depths of the cave......

"Captain, we found an AGH12 belonging to a warrior named Stephen." Taking the agh12 handed over by Sato, Lao Liu observed it for a while, and couldn't help frowning, there are a lot of bite marks of the Zerg on it, and the battle may be more fierce than imagined, Mark them...... Lao Liu didn't want to think about it anymore. "We're almost 300 meters underground, and if we go any further, the radio is beyond the range of communication. Damn, this zerg's lair is an underground labyrinth. Zheng Yang, Wang Fang, you two stay to keep the radio relay, and the rest of us continue to search, I feel that we are very close to Mark and them. "Yes, Captain." Carrying Stephen's AGH12 on his back, Lao Liu led the team members to go deeper into the cave.

This section of the underground passage is in a straight line, in the dark environment deep underground, but there is a little light that violates the laws of nature, and when using the low-light night vision device, you can faintly see the shadows of some zergs passing by. Sato, who was walking in front, saw the vague figure of the Zerg, and subconsciously raised the AGH12 in his hand to aim. "Captain, I saw the Zerg, there are stinging snakes." There was no alarm from the bioprobe, proving that the Zerg was still two hundred meters away, and there was no pressure on the Marines to fight the Stinging Snake at this distance, after all, the Stinging Snake's spinal scone spur only had a chance to penetrate the combat armor within 150 meters. "Ivan, Zhantian, you have a shield, go to the front. Kanazawa, come up with the electromagnetic sniper rifle you picked up, and knock out the stinging snake on the other side for me. The rest, flanking to build fire. "Yes." "Roger."

In the short time that the team members built a simple defensive position, the figure of the Zerg was a little closer. "Kanazawa, what do you see in the sniper scope?" "It's only a vague Zerg figure, it's too dark here." "Fight by feeling, you were in the shooting team before you joined the army, and you should have a good sense of firearms. The auxiliary system is turned on, and I'll do it for you. "Hmm." "The one at the front." "Bang--" The bullet pierced through the darkness of the passage and into the swarm. "Shhh "The trajectory is 0.02 centimeters to the right, but it seems to have hit, and another shot." "Hmm." "Bang--" "Hiss-" "Boom-" The shot seemed to hit two people, and two screams were heard. "It's great, one shot at the other. Kanazawa continues to sting snakes, and the Zerg are coming up, so everyone is ready. "Roger."

The Zerg is getting closer and closer, and it is no longer vague, and Kanazawa can shoot the stinging snake with precision. "Four hundred meters away, fire." "Da Da Da-" The firepower of the team members was very fierce, but in the face of the Zerg who were not afraid of death and kept charging, they could only reduce their advance speed, and slowly, the Zerg rushed into the detection range of the biosource probe. "Zerg organism signal detected, distance 200. Warning, the signal of the poisonous explosion insect has been detected, please kill the poisonous explosion insect. "Kanazawa! Find the Poison Blaster and kill it! Zheng Liyuan, Song Xianxian, use grenades to greet the Zerg well! "Yes!" "Yes!" Just when the Zerg was about to rush to the 150-meter shooting distance, the team members carried out a full-fire explosion. "Armor-piercing bullets!" "Bang "Boom-boom-" In the deafening explosion, the underground passage that had been overcrowded by the Zerg was cleared.

The nearby Zerg were blown into charred flesh by grenades, and the Zerg farther away were pierced through the heart by armor-piercing bullets, and there were more dead and less alive, and this Zerg army was gone. Just when Lao Liu and the team members were just breathing a sigh of relief, more zergs appeared in the field of vision. "Captain! How do we do it?! "Damn, how did the Zerg come so fast. Plant high-explosive bombs, let's withdraw! "Captain! Mark, Watts, they ........." "I know! Retreat with high-explosive bombs! "But ......" "Execute the order!" "Yes!" Faced with the huge threat of the Zerg, Lao Liu had to give the order to retreat, and a minute after withdrawing from the battlefield, the mixed high-explosive bomb left behind exploded.

"Boom-" In an underground passage not far away, Mark and El stopped. "Mark, did you hear that?" "The explosions are still continuous. There are our people nearby! Quick, let's get over there! The two of them ran wildly despite the pain......
