0199 Battle of the Core, a Failed Fusion

The huge nest of hundreds of kilometers on the long axis is no longer mysterious, and the mutant Borg group that envelops it shrinks in wisps, converging with the remaining kind, and revealing its body piece by piece.

It was clearly a man-made spaceship, with a shell similar to Silver, but not the pure silver-white, texture closer to gray plastic, similar and different from the Scavenger.

Not a single rivet is visible from the outer shell of the nest, but there are seams, showing that its manufacturing technology is not much higher than that of humans. However, the size of the hull is so large, it should surpass humans in terms of material technology, and maybe even like the Scavenger, the skeleton is made of Zhiyin.

In the saturation nuclear bomb attack just now, many of them exploded near the nest, and some holes can be vaguely seen, indicating that the shell material is not indestructible.

As the contraction of the mutant Borg accelerated, the nest gradually revealed its full appearance. Only the center part is complete, the first and last parts, and it is covered with scalp-tingling things.

Even Xia Ming was pinched by a fear that seemed like substance, so that his whole body was numb, and it took a while to recover.

It was a huge flesh mouthpiece, ranging from hundreds of meters to kilometers in diameter, and the mouthparts were slowly wriggling, spitting out gas like breath. Inside these mouthparts, it must be the ecological environment that feeds the mutant Borg.

When I contacted and reconnoitred before, I didn't find any corresponding movement of the mutant Borg group covering the surface of the nest, and the kind of low-intensity but extremely wide range of thinking aggression is estimated to come from them, and the current movement should have been stimulated by the dense nuclear bomb explosion.

In the cargo hold of the Scavenger, the terrifying scene ahead came into the field of vision of the Starlink special services, making their hearts sway.

"Focus on yourself! Don't get lost! ”

Xia Ming's cold cheer sounded, like a little candlelight lit in the darkness, which made the agents suddenly wake up. With this candlelight, they all found their selves, which had been firmly established in training, and the ignited sparks dispelled a trace of cold that had invaded their minds.

"What did this TM change!"

"Did we break into Mr. Ke's lair?"

"Gram just makes people crazy, doesn't turn people or even animals into monsters, does he?"

"That's ...... A variant of Xiu Ji? ”

"Got it! The assault of the mind is the drum beat of Azathoth! ”

In the squadrons' channels, the members of the team are telling jokes about Cthulhu, and no one mentions the fact that they are getting closer and closer to these monsters.

The Scavenger burst out of the chaotic asteroid swarm, pulling out a clear flame of light in the space cleared by the nuclear bomb, attracting a small group of mutant borgs to surround it, and more mutant borgs had converged into a thick torrent and rushed forward again. The previous shallow array has disappeared, and Younas, who has lost nearly three percent, is shrinking more intensively.

The Scavenger had rushed to a distance of 1,000 kilometers from the ship, four specially modified ion engines continued to accelerate, and in the cargo hold, the agents were hung from the bulkhead by the tethering straps due to the obvious G-force, which gave them a new topic.

"With a little more fog, we'll be more like pork hanging in the freezer."

"Oh, I remember when I was a kid and went to the freezer to buy meat from strategic reserves."

"Don't step on my head! When you hang yourself? ”

"Still accelerating? Is it going to crash straight in? ”

Just as the agents began to jokingly guess what they would do next, Su Yu's voice sounded. There are too few Starlink agents, and she is both the squadron leader and the adjutant in charge of general management.

"Prepare for the impact!"

The hull of the ship shook, and it was not a ramming, but the railgun mounted on the bow of the Scavenger began to fire.

The railgun on the Scavenger is not a special model, and like the one equipped by Younas, it is a miniaturized design of the Spike Railgun. Even the shell similar to the Zhiyin material could not withstand the bombardment, and was penetrated through holes one by one, and then cracked piece by piece.

"Protective Shock--!"

The hull of the nest had already taken up the entire field of vision, and with Su Yu's shout, everyone bowed their heads and bent down, and pieces of foam cushions popped out of the bulkheads, separating everyone.

Thousands of kilometers away, on the command spacecraft, the commanders watched the jaw-dropping scene, and their breathing stopped.

The small silver-white spaceship slammed into the huge spaceship of the mutant Borg like a bullet, and large debris erupted from the gap, rushing the chasing mutant Borg to pieces.

Cox said in disbelief: "Xia Ming, what are they...... Really desperate!? ”

Ye Ding sighed: "He made it very clear just now, the exit is inside, if you kill that...... If you want to mutate the star gate, you may be able to solve all the mutant borgs. ”

"If we can hold off these mutant Borgs," Schroeder was a little worried.

Alexei shouted a sentence in Russian, and then changed it to Chinese: "We Russians and Chinese people will not take a step back!" ”

"I can understand Chinese," Cox hummed, "American soldiers don't just save the planet in movies. ”

"There are no countries here, only human beings!" Ye Ding raised his head and smiled: "On our tombstone, after the name is Younas!" ”

Enraged by the nuclear bomb, the mutant Borg swarm almost poured out of the nest, launching a denser and faster attack. Younas also contracted the formation, and the artillery fire became more intense.

The dazzling cannon flames flickered incessantly, and the dense ballistics converged into a stream of light, colliding with and holding on to the churning dark stream.

The undercurrent continued to spread and spread, and the light flow also extended, and after about ten minutes, the light flow was diluted a lot, and after the light flow, Younas's spaceship had shrunk into a clear blue light cluster, resisting the undercurrent that was subdivided into countless tributaries.

The Scavenger penetrated the shell of the nest and then through the compartments, until the kinetic energy was exhausted, and the bow was plunged deep into another bulkhead, but the hull was stuck.

Despite not being a hull made of genuine Zhiyin that carries a thousand memories, the Scavenger is clearly harder than the nest ship, and the hull was not too damaged in the collision of distance. The agents were highly trained, and with the load-resistant design of the power armor and the cushioning devices in the cargo hold, no one was seriously injured. But under a violent collision, some minor injuries are inevitable.

The bow of the ship has been seriously deformed, and the squadron leaders command their subordinates to cut out several exits with plasma spray guns, and the members of the team who are anxious activate the jetpack and jump out, and a scream resounded on the channel.

There's gravity here!

The position where the Scavenger was stuck was more than twenty meters above the ground, and the unlucky guy was lucky, and the intelligence of the power armor quickly adjusted his posture, allowing him to land steadily and without injury.

The sensor shows that there is not only 0.8G of gravity, but also oxygenated air, but the composition is not the same as that of the earth. Because the Scavenger penetrated all the way through the bulkheads, the air was rapidly draining.

The team members in the back carefully fell, only to find themselves in a vast circular square.

The radius of the square was close to a kilometer, empty, and above it was a curved dome, at least thirty or forty meters high. Whether it is the dome or the bulkhead, there are dots of white light as dense as a sea of stars.

Although the white light was faint and pale, revealing an eerie feeling, the square was bright enough to see, and it also made the black smoke in the center of the square quite obvious.

Everyone could clearly sense the unusualness of the black smoke, which was bringing with it waves of mental aggression. The intensity of the fluctuations is not high, but it is like a ripple, correlating all mutant Borgs.

Without Qian Yi explaining, Xia Ming confirmed that it must be another exit, and that black smoke should also be another failed boarding body of hers. In fact, it was according to this induction that he manipulated the Scavenger and crashed into the lair from the right direction and angle.

After quickly forming the team, Xia Ming took the lead, and the team members followed up and marched to the central platform.

Soon, however, wisps of black smoke spilled out of the large hole that the Scavenger had knocked out and trickled down the bulkhead, where it was the mutated Borg that was chasing after him. To everyone's awe, the mutant Borg quickly adapted to the gravity environment, and the still retained hands and feet allowed them to crawl on the ground with agility, sweeping in like marching ants.

"Yangtze River, thunder and lightning left! Yellow River, Valkyrie right! ”

Su Yu's fate was conveyed to everyone's ears: "Don't retreat!" ”

The flame of the machine gun and the flash of the electromagnetic cannon illuminated the originally dark space, and the four squadrons launched a formation to block the attack, and Xia Ming led the squadron directly under him to advance to the central platform.

The mutant Borg that had rushed in was quickly swept away, and the feeling of "the enemy has been killed" only lasted for two or three seconds, and the cracks in the bulkhead suddenly expanded. The jammed Scavenger was squeezed down and smashed into the square, and a large stream of mutant Borg rushed in like a flood that had broken a dam.

Su Yu shouted: "The muzzle of the gun forward!" Give your back to your teammates! ”

The outermost layer of combat robots used the fierce fire of machine guns to break up the dense mutant borgs, and the team members in the rear held shields, and the mechanical arm raised the electromagnetic cannon, accurately shooting at targets one by one. But there were too many enemies, and there were constantly mutant Borg penetrating the fire net, shooting puffs of acid, and even rushing straight up, wrapping around and attacking the team members with tentacles.

A handful of team members on the back floor rush forward and quickly kill the approaching mutant Borg with melee weapons.

The three mutant Borgs pounced on the robots in the front row and rushed in front of An Daoyuan.

An Daoyuan resisted the cold trembling feeling in his heart, locked the middle one with his pupils, raised the mechanical arm, and the cannonball of the machine gun exploded so that the mutant Borg rolled backwards, pulling out strips of black smoke.

The other two mutant Borgs, one on the left and one on the right, were already less than a meter away from him, and the tentacles with sharp carapaces were about to penetrate his neck and chest, not only did he ignore them, but he also shouted in his mouth: "Avenge No. 67!" ”

An electromagnetic cannonball shattered the head of the mutant Borg on the left, and then pierced through several mutant Borg behind, breaking through the bulkhead and running towards freedom.

Wu Kang's voice sounded in the team channel: "As long as you pick up the chip, there will be another lively No. 67." ”

At the same time, a small silver-white shield stretched out from An Daoyuan's side, smashing the tentacles, and then the blunt head of a smart silver mace smashed into the skull of the mutant borg, causing the mutant borgs to sink down. The mace changed to a sharp head and gnawed at the same position, piercing through the hard case, splashing thick ink, and the mutant Borg slowly collapsed to the ground, no longer moving.

In the channel, Mina shouted dissatisfiedly: "Captain, why are you shooting me in the back!?" ”

The agents maintained the formation and smashed the impact of the mutant borgs wave by wave, but a steady stream of mutant borgs poured in, and more and more broke through the formation.

"I'll go alone, you guys support the battle!"

Xia Ming also left the squadron directly under him, and led Qianyi to continue to move forward, of course Qianyi can't be counted as a person.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the central platform, Ye Ding's image was transmitted to Xia Ming's field of vision: "The Germans' estimate is not very accurate, and we can delay it for half an hour at most." ”

Half an hour......

Xia Ming raised his mechanical arm and fired, the cannonball of the electromagnetic cannon exploded one mutant Borg that fell from above into two, and the other mechanical arm spun up the Zhiyin Knife and cut off the tentacles that stretched out towards Qianyi. The long knife driven by a robotic arm equipped with a reinforced motor slashed in a circle at least 20% faster than the human body, and slashed into the neck of the mutant borg, decapitating it directly.

Mutant Borg's head was still in the air, shattered by another cannonball. The monster's head had been cut off, and the brain inside would survive for hours, continuing to radiate the mind.

"I'll try my best to ......" Xia Ming could only say this, he was only a few dozen meters away from the black smoke in front of him, he didn't know what that thing was, but he knew that it must be difficult to deal with.

Moreover, the situation in the rear view is not very good.

The formation has been disorganized, and in this case, except for specially trained snipers, no one else can use the electromagnetic cannon anymore, otherwise it is too easy to accidentally injure teammates. The penetration of the machine gun is insufficient, and it can still be used, but the shells are basically exhausted, and at this time you can only rely on hand-to-hand combat.

For hand-to-hand maniacs, the battle has only just begun.

"Oh my God, I finally got gravity back!"

In the channel, Lao Hong shouted loudly, holding a shield in one hand and a special weapon in the other, and his combat robots were on the left and right, like two reefs, forcibly blocking a mutant borg. The weapon was a lengthened and enlarged, non-arc sapper shovel, very similar to the ancient two-moon axe.

A shovel of twenty or thirty kilograms, with the support of power armor, slapped the mutant borg, which weighed only thirty or forty kilograms, into the air piece by piece. Occasionally, it chops on the door of the head and neck, and puffs of ink rise. In a short time, the front of this human-machine duo became a black pool.

"Fighting a war and complaining about God, just like a girl!"

On the other side, Lao Huang and the combat robot both held large hammers, just like Lao Hong, and steadily withstood the impact of the mutant borg. The two of them were like door gods, barely pulling up a line of defense, and didn't let everyone be completely disrupted by the mutant Bog group.

Mina's human-machine duo pushes forward in an attempt to pull up the third vertex, but she is dismayed to find that she is far worse than Lao Hong and Lao Huang in terms of reaction and skill. With a flash of energy, two mutant Borgs leaped into the air, shooting tentacles that wrapped her hand in the lead, and at this time, her battle robot had no time to react.

Seeing that they were about to be dragged into the mutant Borg, the knife flashed, the tentacles were cut, and the machine guns were one after the other, blasting the heads of the two mutant Borgs apart with extremely accurate short bursts.

Su Yu dragged Mina back and scolded coldly: "Don't be reckless! ”

Mina sighed: "Are these two old men reformers?" ”

The two old men were in their sixties, and that old Hong, who had stepped off the power armor and was still lying on his back, it was really hard for her to believe that their bodies and bones could withstand such a violent movement.

Su Yu said lightly: "I don't know the specifics, but they are also the test subjects of Liluo and Sister Xiaotang." ”

No wonder......

In addition to admiring, Mina also thought that it would be good if she could be the subject of the test.

Even if you transform people, you are mortal after all. Because the combat robots have not practiced fighting in a gravity environment much, they are constantly fighting in the scattered formation, and the original team of more than 200 aircraft has shrunk sharply. As one of the team members was dragged into the mutant Borg group by tentacles, a terrible scream rang out in the channel, and the agents began to suffer casualties.

Although I had been mentally prepared for it and had experienced it in simulation training, when I really realized it, these men and women who were college students a few months ago were a little shaken.

"Pull close! Hang on! ”

"It's no different from beating a dog, pay more attention to your step!"

"If one person doesn't kill enough 10,000, this internship can't pay the difference!"

"When you rush in, it's all cowards who still want to live!"

"Think about yourself! Thinking about fighting! The people around you fall, and there are others to make up for it, until the last one! ”

The shouts of the squad leader and squadron leader pulled back the swaying minds, and as the mutant Borg was repelled and killed, the team members all had a wonderful feeling.

On the one hand, the blood that gradually ignites makes the body continue to heat up, and the power seems to be endless. On the other hand, there is more and more clear detachment, which calms the mind for a minute, as if the consciousness has emerged from the top of the head, and the body is operating in the third person mode, whether it is the skills experienced in training or the cooperation with the armor, it is vividly exerted.

Under this feeling, the mental encroachment that the original mutant Borg carried became unaffected.

When the team members stabilized the battle situation, Xia Ming also came to the platform and faced the strange existence.

Black smoke rose and jumped to a height of more than ten meters, and the tentacles that were several times thicker than ordinary monsters stretched out and waved uncertainly.

"Is it you?"

Xia Ming was stunned by Qianyi's words.

"To be precise, it's the last one who failed, the fusion with the host."

Qianyi's tone didn't match what she said at all, well, I forgot, this one around me was just an interactive interface.

"So it's actually the same as those mutant Borgs?"

Xia Ming breathed a sigh of relief, the host body that failed to fuse was at least impossible to beat him in terms of consciousness activity, that is, the physical mutation.

Holding up the electromagnetic cannon, Xia Ming was ready to make a ruthless shot.

A feeling of palpitations rose, he thought of something, and suddenly called Xiao Huan who stayed behind: "Connect Qianyan!" (To be continued.) )
