Chapter 64: Hope

0:45 on January 15, 2071 -- Sharez Star -- "Star Diamond" Mining Exploration Company Mine Cave --

"Bang bang -"

"Whew-"

"Ang--"

"Hey, man, the Marines don't fall that easily."

Hearing someone talking to him on the radio, Sergeant Zhou Jun opened his eyes, and a marine in black armor stood in front of him, and the big dog that had just pounced on him had been shot through the head. The Zerg blocking the gate were all roaring, but the target of their attack had changed, and most of the Zerg turned and rushed out of the cave, where quite a few Marines were laughing, and their mocking laughter angered the Zerg, which was exactly what they wanted to do.

Strung out his left hand towards Sergeant Zhou Jun who fell to the ground, but Mark's right hand was not idle, and the AGH14 in his hand kept roaring, and continued to shoot the Zerg who rushed into the mine and fell to the ground.

"Brother, you're right." Grabbing Mark's left hand, Sergeant Zhou Jun stood up from the ground, and after the stimulant injection, his fitness returned. Looking at the exhausted team members around him, Sergeant Zhou Jun smiled.

"Brothers, Marines—"

"Never Say Never!"

Standing in a row with Mark, the fighters defending the mine all turned on the output of the high-energy particle battery to the maximum, and as for doping, fools don't fight.

"It's on!" With a low snort, Mark used electromagnetic acceleration to run straight into the swarm of insects watching, and the AGH14 in his hand was used as a big knife by him to slash and slash. With each slash, he would use all his strength, and the slashed Zerg would often split in two, and the splatters of insect blood would cover his entire body. It all happened in a flash of lightning, and it wasn't until Mark cut down the tenth Zerg that the Marines and Zerg reacted. And he himself, however, felt that this was just a normal speed.

"Shh Under the shocked gaze of the Marines, Mark held the head of a stinging snake with one hand, and with the help of his force, he used his strength to levitate in the air, and kicked the venom monster in the mouth with an electromagnetic force, kicking the corrosive liquid into the venom monster's throat.

"Die!" With a force of his left hand, Mark grabbed the stinging snake and threw it over the shoulder, throwing it on the venom monster that was spitting blood, and AGH shot again, and the two extremely strong zergs were silent.

It was only then that the other marines came to their senses and charged at the Zerg. Mark's showlike attack gave them great encouragement, and they attacked again, and their fighting style became fierce. With the armor hard to resist the attack of the Zerg, the bayonet AGH in his hand kept doing forward stabbing movements.

When Lao Liu and the others cleaned up the Zerg outside, there was no longer a living Zerg inside, and those marines were cleaning the battlefield. Mark, on the other hand, was carrying a stinging snake there to try his punches, and with each punch, a complete piece of the snake's bones would become shattered.

"Mark, how are you feeling?" Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Hong Zhantian, who was temporarily acting as the captain, couldn't help frowning, they seemed to be a little late.

Mark shook his head, "The speed is not good, I ran from the top of the mountain, and I am still a little late." The miners were dead, and only these few Marines remained. Mark felt very sorry for the death of those workers, if he could be more resolute and blow up a road with **, maybe those workers would not have died.

"Warrant Officer, thank you." Although the injuries were not light, Zhou Jun still insisted on standing on his own, and his only four remaining team members followed him, all of them were wounded, if it wasn't for the fact that the battle armor itself had a certain amount of support, they would most likely all fall here.

"This is what we should do, Sergeant, are there any survivors, we must evacuate as soon as possible. On the way here, I saw a lot of zergs. Mark took out several nano-medical bug injections from his backpack and handed them to the wounded allies.

"There are still a lot of workers' families in the safe house, so I'm going to call them." The only Marine who could still run took Mark's nano-medical bug, gave him a grateful look, and ran straight to the safe house. The rest of the members of the Ninth Team also walked in from outside, and everyone sighed when they saw the tragic scene at the gate.

"Warrant Officer, I see that your military number doesn't seem to be a conscription, your mission shouldn't have been issued so quickly, why did you come here?"

Mark patted Sergeant Zhou Jun on the shoulder, "Brother, we are volunteers, this is not our task. But there is no rule that does not allow us to come, who told you that volunteers must accept the task to save people? We're not cold-blooded mercenaries. ”

Sergeant Zhou Jun watched Mark remain silent for a long time, and it was not until the workers' families came out of the safe house that he gave Mark a standard military salute. The family members will be very sad to lose their loved ones, he, the person in charge of the defense work, is not dead, but the workers are dead, and he needs to explain it to the families.

However, no one listened to him, and the tears on the faces of the family members were clearly visible through the oxygen masks, but they did not stop, but lined up and walked straight to the place where the mining trucks were parked. Their husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers had already confessed before fighting for their lives with the Zerg, and they absolutely could not and would not blame Zhou Jun for them. Looking at all this, Zhou Jun felt a strong sense of guilt. He really wanted to cry, but he couldn't, he had to be strong until he reached the safety zone, and he had to take up the last responsibility that belonged to the dead workers.

"Sergeant, let's go, time is pressing." Mark's voice came over the radio, and Zhou Jun nodded, picked up the AGH that had fallen on the ground, and ran with the team to the garage, where their "hunting horses" and ore trucks were parked.

When everyone had left the mine, Mark was still standing. Zhou Jun didn't notice it, but Mark did. Looking at the corpses on the ground, Mark clenched his fists, these people looked dead, but their brainwaves were not completely gone, and Mark, who had the ability to "see", felt a lot from the residual brainwaves. Despair, anger, and reluctance are the most obvious brain fluctuations, but behind these things, there is something hidden.

"Mark, what are you still doing in there? Come out, we're about to go! Lao Liu's angry roar came over the radio, and Mark knew that he had no time to think.

"Roger, Captain, I'll be right out."

Picking up the dead marines' badges one by one, Mark took one last look at the mine, and the moment he was about to step out of the mine, he suddenly felt a different kind of brain wave.

"Hope" seemed to be a mother's admonition to a child, or a whisper between close friends, and the imperceptible brain waves occupied Mark's heart at this moment. It's like being baptized with religion and you'll never forget it.

"Hope" muttered, and Mark, who understood something, stopped and ran straight to the convoy. It was only then that a long-dead worker slowly closed his eyes
