Chapter 637: Between Advance and Retreat

"It's not going to work, we won't be able to last long." Give me the scroll of the return to the city, and let me pick her up. I can disguise myself as anyone, they can't tell my disguise......" Alex shouted to the Master Chief who was directing the battle after helping the men next to him kill a maniac who had rushed to the front.

His movement and nerve reflexes are several times faster than the average member of the expedition, and he can fight high-level battle madmen in hand-to-hand combat. The armor and exoskeleton of the madman in battle have extremely strong characteristics of absorbing kinetic energy and heat energy, and it is indeed difficult to be damaged by conventional weapons.

But they are not immune to their own weapons, especially their various cold weapons. Alex snatched a cold weapon that looked like a bone knife and stabbed several madmen who rushed too close.

But he, like the rest of the team, is feeling the pressure mounting. The Master Chief knew that he was right, that the situation was rapidly deteriorating, and that the expedition was not superior in terms of individual combat effectiveness.

There is not much to use in the terrain either, unless a large space-time gate above the 10th is opened, the speed at which they can mobilize reinforcements cannot catch up with the loss rate in front, and it is only a matter of time before they are broken through by the enemy.

Even now, there are already a few enemies rushing to the distance where they can see the space-time gate, and if this continues, the secret of the expedition is likely to be revealed, and in the worst case, such a leak will lead them to lose the initiative in subsequent operations.

In all fairness, this was not an easy choice for Master Chief. The master chief did not have the habit of abandoning his teammates, but the current battle situation constantly forced him to give up this position and hand over Sister Xue's fate to this "person" whom he had only known for less than a day.

The Master Chief didn't know and understand Alex's background as early as Sister Xue, in fact, because he had been reluctant to join the expedition before, he only met this "monster" full of biochemical powers when Alex was taken to the ship by Sister Xue.

He has not yet developed a basic mutual trust with the other party. Naturally, he didn't dare to immediately hand over the scroll of returning to the city, which symbolized too many things, to the other party. Shen Chao had said when he handed him the scroll of returning to the city that this thing was the most valuable technical equipment for the expedition team at present.

At the moment when he hesitated, another high-level battle madman broke through the defense line and entered his line of sight. The mad warrior was quicker than the other madmen who had rushed through the line before, and when he saw the bone knife Alex was holding, he roared and flew straight towards them.

It's really "flying", and the other party has a pair of bat-winged wings on their backs. And it flies much faster than bats in nature. He held a special short sword of indiscernible material in both hands, with thick and powerful limbs and huge claws.

This battle madman is not only ferocious, but also the impact speed is too fast, Alex can also hurriedly swing a knife to block, the master chief knows that the other party rushed to the front and failed to aim the gun at him, can only use the gun to block the other party's slashing knife.

After the collision together, the master chief was rushed more than ten meters away by the huge impact force, and the gun used to block in his hand was almost scrapped. Fortunately, the nanosuit he is wearing now is much more impact-resistant than Thor's hammer, and being smashed so far away did not affect his activities. In the air, he adjusted his posture and landed safely. And fired several shots at the madman with his secondary weapon.

Compared with the dashing landing of the non-commissioned officer, Alex's appearance at this time is very miserable. Still did not harden his body to resist this impact as before, on the contrary, he kept his body active, and in an instant, he cut it in half.

This scene was not chic at all, but it was a natural and shrewd choice for him. Although his ability to restore fù is extremely strong, he cannot recover indefinitely. Both kinetic energy and energy strikes can hurt him severely.

For a highly flexible creature like him, the form of the body doesn't matter. Tong guò is an active method of softening. He appears to have suffered a big loss and was cut in two, but he didn't actually receive any substantial damage. The huge kinetic energy of the opponent's weapon when it slashed down him was successfully unloaded.

The cells that make up his entire body are mostly intact. In just a few seconds, he was able to restore the prototype. And being cut in two will also confuse the other party, making the madman in battle think that he has been killed. Give him enough time to recover.

His guess was correct, and the madman did ignore him when he saw him cut off, and turned to deal with Master Chief. Although the Master Chief tried to dodge the guy's attack, his speed was still a beat slower, and his abdomen was still cut open by the opponent's short sword.

Although avoiding vital organs. But the blow still hit him hard. Fortunately, such a blow also greatly reduced the speed of this madman in battle. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Master Chief launched a counterattack, he pulled out his matching knife and stabbed the opponent in the lower armpit.

According to the information they gathered. This area is the weak point of the defense of the madman in battle. Sure enough, the battle madman who was stabbed by the master chief struggled violently. But the struggle only hastened the tearing of the wound and made him weaker.

At this moment, Alex, who had already recovered his human form, suddenly rushed from behind, hardened his right hand into a spike, and stabbed it through the armpit on the other side, stabbing this high-level mad warrior through the battle.

This move stabbed the central nerve of this madman from the bottom up, and under such a heavy blow, this tenacious mad warrior finally fell to the ground. Master Chief also stood up clutching the wound in his abdomen.

His wounds were now covered by the self-healing function of the nanosuit, and he was no longer bleeding, but the pain was not over. And this accident also confirms Alex's statement that it is indeed too dangerous here. Even a legendary warrior like him was wounded, not to mention the pressure on the other team members.

"Alright, that's it, you stay and look for an opportunity to rescue Shepard, and I'll go back and organize the pick-up." This is her "Scroll Back to the City", and she only has one remaining use. Only Shepard knows how to turn it on, find her, and then the two of you come back safely together......"

The Master Chief finally decided to hand over Sister Xue's return scroll to Alex, and gave him a few words, and then he quickly withdrew through the space-time gate with a group of wounded team members, abandoning a large group of unmanned machines here.

While they were retreating, the landed Imperial forces were also trying to break into the bizarre biological warship. Vader leads his elite troops out of the nest, finds a weak spot in the bulkhead and blows up an entrance, and is "mingling" with the swarming battle madmen.

There were other Imperial units doing the same elsewhere in the hull. The soldiers gathered around Vader at this time were not the storm commandos he often bringed, in order to quickly search for clues, all Vader brought with him this time was a new type of clone soldier called the Dark Soldier.

Rather than using a single human template like the Storm Commando, this clone is a complex genetic source with a mix of multiple races. The goal is to create a clone with a humanoid appearance, and all of them are Force-sensitive!

Such an attempt would not be easy, and Vader had initially invested in the project to deal with the Emperor, but it was only in recent years that the research had come to fruition due to the slow progress of the research. At this time, Vader had nearly a few hundred dark soldiers with him, and he had all the successful test subjects so far.

Only a handful of these Dark Soldiers have been tested in combat, they all wear distinctive full-coverage uniforms, carry blasters and lightsabers, and their level of Force control varies due to production cycles and usage experience, but they are all far from inferior to Vader.

Surrounded by these dark soldiers, Vader encountered much less resistance along the way than the expedition had encountered a siege at the withdrawal point. Even if a few high-ranking battle madmen gradually organized an offensive and attacked in his direction, they did not pose much of a threat.

In the narrow passages and inside the cabins, it was difficult for the battle madmen to take advantage of their numerical superiority, and Vader was able to easily intercept a qiē attack from the opposite side because he was surrounded by a large group of Force warriors.

Still, he was amazed at the abilities of the new enemy here, and this was the first time he had encountered a madman. He had never heard of such a race that had developed entirely from biotechnology before. And it looks like the combat effectiveness is very impressive. It had only been a few minutes since he came in, but there were already some casualties among the large group of dark soldiers he had led.

This seemed incredible to him, after all, according to the common sense of the galaxy, the Force Warriors would always be much stronger than ordinary soldiers. No matter how strong a person is, he or she can't compete with the Force Warriors in hand-to-hand combat, because they can predict your movements.

But here, he found that this law turned out to be untrue. Not only did the dark soldiers he brought with him unable to predict the actions of the madmen in battle, but even he could only sense the other party's presence after seeing it. In the Force's view, the battle madman is simply transparent, and can only use lightsabers and various push-pull skills to deal with these strong aliens.

Although the mad warriors who appeared in front of them became more and more powerful, and the Imperial troops that landed elsewhere reported heavy casualties, Vader not only did not feel bad after hearing the battle report, but instead had the idea of making good use of this newly discovered race.

This was the first time he had seen a race that could tame the warriors with their physical strength, and if they could be tamed as his vassals, this race would be his secret weapon against the emperor...... so Vader had the idea of taming the entire race of the other party.

At this time, he did not realize that these strange-looking aliens were a powerful war race planning to invade the galaxy. In his opinion, it is likely that this is just a small race that has settled on the edge of the galaxy. Filled with galactic-centrism and great humanism, he could never have imagined that it was these unsightly aliens who were supposed to create an unprecedented war that would sweep the entire galaxy in the future. (To be continued......)
