Chapter 369: Sub-Brood
Chapter 369: Sub-Brood
"Knock knock knock......" footsteps beat the ground like war drums, and the dull sound echoed in the empty holes. It's hard to imagine www.biquge.info inside the dark and mottled sub-brood that could be such a place.
The Kurunze squadron had already entered the range of more than fifty kilometers of the passage, but it seemed that the straight-line distance from the brain worm was still ten kilometers. That is, so far, the Kurunze squadron has been constantly circling around the canyon in front of them.
It is said to be a canyon, but it is actually a circular passage with a diameter of more than two hundred kilometers. Because the interior is too wide and uneven in many places, mountains, valleys, lakes, and rivers are formed...... All kinds of landforms. There is no difference between it and being on the surface of the planet.
Of course, this sentence is a bit exaggerated, but there are still real differences, and there are quite a few. For example, there is no sunlight in the passage, and all the light comes from the choppy, green-glowing river overhead. Because the gravity in the channel is all perpendicular to the inner surface of the channel, the river also clings to the inner wall of the channel and does not pour down.
Along the way, Kulenze and his party have encountered a lot of such rivers, the width of the large rivers can reach a terrifying tens or hundreds of kilometers, and the small ones are only about one or two meters. These rivers act like blood vessels that transport green energy slurry from the depths of the sub-nest to every part of the nest, providing it with nutrients and energy.
The inner wall of the passage is wet and slippery, and the surface is filled with a transparent mucus layer with a thickness of about one meter, and some of the mucus layers are densely packed with unknown insect eggs that are like fish eggs, many of which have cracked, and the insects inside do not know where to go.
It is very difficult to move in the mucus layer, and it is constantly slippery when walking, as if walking on a road covered with heavy oil. When he first came in, Kulenze fell hard and slipped far away against the ground. In the end, the anti-slip spikes under the feet of the Xingtian mecha were stretched out to solve this problem.
I have to say that the design of Xingtian Type III was very comprehensive, and even the anti-skid on land was taken into account. However, what I didn't expect was that the first time this anti-slip method was used was in the passage of the hive.
"001, we can't go on like this, we're going to be a waste of time going around like this, we've got to figure out a way," 002 said as he walked to the left front of Coolundzer, searching for the alert as he spoke to the comms.
"That's true, but we should at least wait for the next troops, right? We are already alone, with our one hundred and eighty people, it will not be good if we are surrounded by the enemy, it is better to be safe" Kurunze frowned and looked at the military map, and said his opinion.
"We were alone in this battle, not to mention 180 people, even 1.8 million people came to deliver food to other people. What we want is a quick assault, and what we want is a time difference, which is very different from our regular tactics. The follow-up troops didn't keep up, so they were attacking us. Therefore, I propose to intersperse as soon as possible, and get to the location of the brain worm as soon as possible is the right way," 002 analyzed.
"I agree with 002," 003's voice came from behind. Deaf, the two commanders of the entire squadron agreed, three to two, and Kurunze felt that 002's analysis was very reasonable, and the squadron leader directly abstained from the veto, and this resolution was quickly passed in just one minute.
“013!”
"Here!"
"Mark the location of the brain worm and blow up the passage for me! Since we can't find a passage, we'll blow up a passage," Kurunze said, and then turned on the anti-gravity engine and slowly flew up, rising to a high place to observe the terrain, and after comparing the position of the brain worm, the direction of the explosion was quickly determined.
"Boom, boom!" A violent explosion rang out, and the flat valley floor was punched a deep hole by the energy cannon. With a loud bang, under the fierce bombardment of the metal blasting rod, a passage with a diameter of more than fifty meters and a length of five hundred meters was bombarded out, and the group entered the next layer of passage space along the channel that tumbled along the magma, and the straight-line distance from the brain worm immediately advanced by 4.5 kilometers.
The passage on the next level is much smaller, with a diameter of only about four kilometers, which is simply different from the previous one. But compared to the previous passage, this passage gave Kurunze an instinctive sense of crisis, and this sense of crisis became stronger and stronger as time went on.
......The ground shook violently, as if a huge river had burst its banks and swept down the river. The violent vibration became more and more intense, and even the tall Xingtian mecha shook violently, and sitting in it had the feeling of riding an off-road vehicle in the wild.
"013, determine the bearing, continue blasting! Fast! ......" No. 002 saw that Kurundze did not move, and immediately began to order.
"Yes!"
"Leave the 13th squad to help 013 blast, and the other squads will go forward a kilometer and snipe the battle!" As soon as the tremor occurred, Kurenze thought that it was going to be bad, and it was right that a violent explosion could save time on the road. But the shock and strong shock wave from the explosion undoubtedly pointed the way for the Zerg marines like a beacon in the darkness, and led all the fighters to the direction of their squadron.
This is the reason why Kurunze did not recommend blasting in the first place. According to the original assumption, the Kulenze squadron should have quietly touched in, and those who fired guns should have unknowingly touched the location of the brain worm. The Zerg fighters were all handed over to the ground defense troops and the other two brigades that came later, and they only needed to deal with the brain worms.
However, not encountering a single Zerg Marine army along the way made Kulenze let his guard down, and not long after the explosion ended, the Zerg soldiers rushed over like a school of sharks smelling fish. You don't need to know how many Marines are coming, just listen to their movements as they march.
"Boom!" A loud explosion came from behind, and it was 013 blasting the passage underway. However, judging from the sound of the explosion, the blasting operation this time is not ideal, otherwise the sound should be dull like a drum, rather than a non-stop roar like a firecracker, and the explosion point is too close to the ground!
Sure enough, the next moment, Kurenze's conjecture became a reality. The blasting was very difficult, the outer wall of this layer of passage was sturdy and perverted, and the green Mori crystal only blew out a channel two hundred meters deep and fifty meters in diameter after exploding, and its powerful energy resistance was almost comparable to that of the M18 armor alloy.
What's even worse is that the vibration wave analysis shows that the thickness of the inner wall of this layer of passage has reached a terrifying five kilometers! In other words, even if it is an optimistic estimate, 013 will have to blast 45 more times before it can open the channel!
"001, it's too thick here, I'd suggest finding a thinner place to start over!" 013's voice came from the communication link.
"Nope! Keep blowing me up! There's no time to find another blasting spot, the Zerg marines are about to rush over! Velocity! Hurry up! "Kurunze directly vetoed 013's proposal. Not to mention whether the thinner explosion point can be found, even if it can be found, but the current situation of the squadron does not allow Kulenze and them to look elsewhere.
Through the mecha's long-range reconnaissance equipment, Kulunze found that ten kilometers away from the squadron, a wave of black waves was rolling in, and from time to time it could impact in front of the Kulenze squadron!
"Set up the front!! Defensive formation!! Preparation! ............" (To be continued.) )
