Chapter Ninety-Five: Forced Landing
Zerg are natural biological weapons, and they don't seem to affect their combat effectiveness due to natural conditions such as climate, sky, etc. They maintain the highest level of vigilance, day or night, 24 hours a day.
Therefore, the "Operation Dawn" of the Star Sea Fleet did not choose the darkness before dawn, as its name suggests, but chose a sunny morning - since the bad weather could not affect the enemy, why not choose a combat environment that would not affect you either?
Since the Zerg Air Force near the outer orbit of the XK-3 colony planet had been almost completely annihilated by the Star Sea Fleet in the previous encounters, the landing craft under the cover of two cruisers and twelve destroyers basically entered the planet's atmosphere without much hindrance.
"It seems that this mission is not too difficult, our fleet has already scared those damn bugs, but next, they will be even more afraid of our marines!" Inside the landing craft, Nick, the black lieutenant who led the team, held half a cigar in his mouth and proudly raised the rotary pulse cannon in his hand to his teammates. "After we go down, we're going to crush all those bugs into slag like a large insecticide!"
The soldiers in the boat all looked more excited, and in the previous battles, almost all the air forces were harvesting the enemy, and they were blushing as they watched those comrades plundering their exploits, and the members of the Marine Corps had long held back their strength. Thank God, and thank you to the wise commander of the fleet, Admiral Mayne, who finally gave the order for the landing operation, and now the time has come for the meritorious service of his brothers.
Su Yue pulled his combat helmet very low, covering most of his face. She sat alone on the bench in the far corner with a Gauss sniper rifle, completely unabsorbed in their enthusiastic atmosphere. This is the second time she has landed on this planet, but unfortunately almost none of her comrades who landed together before have survived, and the few survivors have applied for discharge, and every encounter they encounter on this planet will become a nightmare for their lives.
However, the specific situation of the previous battle, the command will not let these lower-level officers and soldiers know. Looking coldly at the boatload of hot-blooded marines, Su Yue smiled bitterly in his heart, he was really ignorant and fearless.
However, the main purpose of her trip was to find the lost Mo Chenyan, so through Tony's relationship, the landing location of the landing team she was arranged was not far from the fallen city of Curtia, and Tony gave her three days, and then a special transport plane came to the predetermined location to pick her up. Therefore, in this team, Lieutenant Nick, who is the squad leader, will not interfere too much with her personal behavior under the special instructions of her superiors, and she does not want to have too much interaction with these Marines.
After all, she is just a woman, watching her comrades-in-arms who get along day and night being torn apart and devoured alive in front of her, such an experience, she really doesn't want to experience it again.
After entering the atmosphere, the hull of the landing craft began to shake slightly, and the marines in the cabin also sat back in their places and stopped talking to each other. At this time, some things can already be seen dimly outside the porthole, so many people are bored and turn their brains over and look out.
"Oh, God! What is that?! A young Marine exclaimed, and instinctively, the nearby fighters all leaned in.
It was an indescribable glow-green mass that was coming towards their landing craft from below, and the D-415 landing craft adjacent to them was crashing headlong into it. It was as if a soft-shelled egg had been shattered, and the green emerald liquid splattered open in all directions, instantly dousing the landing craft all over its body.
The yellow-green mist rose, and the hard metal shell of the landing craft began to dent and deform at a speed visible to the naked eye, twisting and melting like a heated wax figure, and soon the entire landing craft was corroded to the point of fire and smoke, and then exploded! A magnificent fireworks were formed in the atmosphere.
However, such fireworks could not arouse the admiration of onlookers**, and the pilots of the landing craft and the Marines, including Lieutenant Nick, were all earthy at the moment, because in their field of vision, thousands of fluorescent green acid balls were rapidly approaching from below.
The damn huge ball of acid also seems to have some sort of tracking and locking function, and the two landing craft in front of them have done their best to correct their course in an attempt to avoid this fatal blow, but the two oncoming ball of acid actually changed direction in the air at the same time, hitting their target hard.
The landing craft that Su Yue was riding was also desperately trying to evade, but their smooth flight was suddenly broken by a violent shock! Su Yue only felt that the green light was shining, and then it exploded in front of her in an instant, as if it was about to dye the entire space into fluorescent green.
At the same time, she heard an indescribable corrosive sound of "squeaking" from the outer wall of the cabin where she was staying, like the sound of someone spraying a mist of water on a red-hot iron pot. Apparently the outer layer of metal is corroding rapidly!
The sirens in the landing craft cabin sounded rapidly, and everyone put on improvised life-support devices as fast as they could, and then pulled the emergency disengagement button next to their seats. There was only a pop and pop sound, and everyone was ejected from the landing craft. At this time, the super-corrosive acid had corroded the power system of the spacecraft, and there was another "boom", and the landing craft they were riding on also exploded into a fireball.
The air wave generated by the explosion was mixed with countless spaceship parts scattered in all directions, and many Marines who were close to the explosion point were instantly shot into a sieve by the fragments of these parts, while the rest were also impacted by the air wave and flew into the distance.
Su Yue's body spun uncontrollably in the air, but she kept trying to order herself to stay calm. She gripped her weapon tightly with her right hand, and with her left hand laboriously stretched out the storage compartment of her armor, she pulled out a metal device the size of a fifth battery and pressed the red button at the top without hesitation.
This was the life-saving equipment that Colonel Tony gave her when she left, and it was naturally made by Millerker. After the button was pressed, a blue energy barrier instantly unfolded, enveloping her body in it. Some of the flying metal fragments collided with this blue light curtain and were immediately bounced aside, and there was not much loss on the light curtain except for a faint ripple.
Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief, her heart, which was beating wildly, settled down a little, she activated the reverse thruster on the detachment cabin, and the tendency of her body to fall rapidly slowly eased.
Looking down, there is a towering rocky mountain below, and the mountains are dense primeval forests, but their landing point is irretrievably chosen the depths of that dense forest
