Chapter 24: Underground

In the evening, the insects did not start a second attack, and some of the soldiers continued to be on guard, while others began to eat.

Military rations are a special kind of canned food, which has a sandwich and is divided into two spaces, a large and a small, the large space is in the upper part, where the food is placed, and the small space is in the lower part, where special exothermic substances are stored.

As long as the lower tab is pulled open, the substance below will start to heat up quickly when it comes into contact with the air, and it will only take about a minute for the canned food to be heated.

However, canned food is canned food after all, no matter how advanced and advanced it is, it is also canned, and the taste naturally cannot be compared with a real meal, and it is easy to get tired if you eat too much.

However, as a soldier of war, you know what food means to you, even if the food in front of you exudes a "Xiang" taste, you must eat it quickly and without any leftovers, because your stomach needs it, your body needs it, your life also needs it, and on the battlefield, refuse to be pretentious.

However, Xiao Xuan and the three of them, who were still on guard on the watchtower, could avoid the fate of eating canned food, Xiao Xuan's storage ring had enough food, pizza and turkey cake to read, and a few bottles of red wine, and the three of them could eat on the watchtower without anyone knowing.

It was about to be late at night, and the troop transport spacecraft that had been staying in the base suddenly started up and circled into the air.

"What's going on?" Thunderblade asked, leaning against the railing of the watchtower, pointing at the troop carrier.

"I guess it was to transport the wounded back." Wang Zhi replied.

"Watching this troop carrier fly away, I really feel that I can't read it in my heart, even if I know that it will come back." Thunderblade stretched, he was indeed quite tired during the day, and at this time, he was full of food and drink, and it was late at night, which was the time when he was most sleepy.

"Don't worry, according to the main god's habitual nature, since that troop transport spacecraft has flown away from this base, it will be impossible to come back, at least for a short time."

Xiao Xuan, who was lying on the ground of the sentry tower and looked up at the troop transport spacecraft taking off, said lightly, as if he was saying something very indifferent, but the meaning of the words was as if he was saying something very natural.

“……”

“……”

Wang Zhi and Lei Jian glanced at each other, and they suddenly felt that what Xiao Xuan said was really reasonable, but they were speechless.

Xiao Xuan had introduced the main god to them, and had deduced some things about the main god based on his own experience.

First, the Lord God will not be a nanny, but a whip-wielding animal trainer who will not sit idly by and watch the reincarnators he wants to train sit there and sit at ease.

Once this happens, the master god of the beast trainer will definitely wield his own leather whip to whip, in short, the main god will not let you feel comfortable, unless, you are strong enough to grab the leather whip swung by the main god in your hand, or, more directly, directly wrench the main god's leather whip.

However, it is now obvious that the national team that is still working hard for the certification qualification of the F-level squad is not qualified to want to catch or break the ability of the whip in the hand of the main god, so when the whip of the main god falls, the national team can only passively bear it.

"Don't worry, the troop carrier will return to the base in three hours, please rest and rest, be vigilant, be careful that bugs will come to attack at night!"

As if sensing the soldiers' concerns, the young major spoke out to comfort the soldiers.

"It's really long-winded." Thunder Blade couldn't help but shake his head, compared to his own mercenary team captain in the real world, the personality charm brought by this major was still too scarce.

Of course, his level is still there, after all, when fighting with the insects during the day, the firepower he arranged was very reasonable, and he successfully blocked the insects, but when fighting, especially in this kind of high-pressure offensive and defensive warfare, it is often not his own defense line that collapses first, but his own heart, if there is a brutal and violent commander who can arouse the confidence of the soldiers and fight like a beast at this time, it is the most suitable for this military base at this time.

"It's good." Xiao Xuan himself is a person whose interests come first, but he also hopes that the people he meets are the Holy Mother, which is really the most wonderful thing.

Then, Xiao Xuan closed his eyes after saying these three words, he was really going to start resting, Lei Jian also yawned, leaned on the side and fell asleep, Wang Zhi started the first vigil today, and it can be regarded as the first guard post.

On this night, the guard rotated between the three people on the watchtower, but nothing happened, and the bugs did not attack at night, not even the tentative harassment of the first reading, and he was obedient and obedient like a good boy.

However, everyone in the military base did not feel in a good mood because of the comfort of last night, on the contrary, they were in a bad mood at this time, because the troop carrier had not returned after leaving, and it was almost noon, and the troop carrier had not returned.

It has been hours, hours, enough for the troop carrier to make three trips back and forth from the surface of M to the federal warship in space, and these three trips also include the time for repairing and repairing the troop carrier, but until now, the troop carrier has not returned.

The soldiers' faces became a little ugly, and when the major came out of the room, he saw a group of questioning eyes, with a hint of hatred.

Yes, these soldiers have enough reason to hate him, because this troop carrier spacecraft that stays in the military base is actually the life support of all the soldiers in the base, and now the troop carrier has gone and has not returned, which means that everyone's life support is gone, which is simply no different from cutting off people's lives on the back road.

There are all people in the army here, and they naturally have that kind of unruly atmosphere, plus this young and immature person is a little obviously unable to control the scene, so at this time, everyone will deliberately bully him and express that kind of dissatisfaction directly on his face, and some soldiers also left their original posts and deliberately surrounded this major whose aura was too weak.

If a commanding officer with prestige were to stand here, no soldier would dare to do that.

Obviously, the major did not know that it was because he was too weak that he would encounter this situation, and he still opened his mouth to explain:

"I just contacted the fleet, the fleet said, there are some things there, in order to prepare for the next round of Deng-6 operations, all troop transport spacecraft must be temporarily towed for maintenance, if the base of the M star below needs the troop carrier spacecraft to support the retreat, the troop carrier spacecraft will arrive within two hours of the signal, please rest assured, our safety and back road can definitely be guaranteed!"

"He's lying." Standing on the watchtower, Xiao Xuan could still clearly see the tone and demeanor of the major when he spoke, he could conclude that the other party was lying, as for why he was lying, judging from Xiao Xuan's speculation, it should be that the major himself could no longer contact the Federation fleet in space, as for the specific reason for the connection, Xiao Xuan did not know.

However, it is obvious that the people around him are not all fools, many people actually don't believe what the major said, but there is no reason to refute him, because the Federation fleet has no possibility to abandon themselves and others at all, it is based on this bottom line, the surrounding soldiers have chosen to acquiesce to this reason for the time being, and everyone has returned to their respective posts and positions, at least, no one really dares to make any mutiny for this matter, it is one thing to show the commander's face and put pressure on the commander, But if you read it too much, you may be held accountable after the fact.

Seeing that the soldiers had dispersed, the young major who had been surrounded before couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he had just tried, and now any means of communication that could communicate with the fleet had failed, and he could not contact the federal fleet at all.

Even, after the troop carrier flew away for three hours and didn't come back, he tried to contact the Federation fleet to inquire, but he kept contacting and tossing until daytime, but he didn't get in touch, but he also knew that the important thing at this time was to stabilize the morale of the army, so he lied.

But in Xiao Xuan's eyes, this lie felt very "naïve."

, because this lie, telling, is really unnecessary.

Since there is no troop carrier spaceship, and there are insects outside the base, everyone will definitely continue to stick to the base, and, the most important thing is that there is no convention restriction on this kind of war between humans and insects, there is no such thing as the Geneva Convention on Humans and Insects, even if you kneel down and raise your hand to surrender immediately when you see the insects coming, the insects will directly cut off your neck with their own sickles, and between the two races, it is almost impossible for that kind of surrender and rebellion to happen. Can you imagine a human avatar going to the worm for that "glory and wealth", if that person thinks that eating maggots every day and burrowing into the ground is glory and wealth, then it has to be a different matter.

Therefore, the major thought that he had made up a lie that could have been told directly, which would only make things more complicated and worse.

However, at this moment, Xiao Xuan felt that the sentry tower seemed to tremble, the tremor was very light, as if a person had lightly touched it under the sentry tower, but Xiao Xuan was keenly aware of it, and he immediately came down from the sentry tower almost quickly under the surprised gaze of everyone, and put his ears on the ground of the base, in fact, this is just for others to see, Xiao Xuan's spiritual power can release a distance of more than ten meters, he has detected it at this time, within a range of about ten meters from the ground, A three-square-meter pit was dug out.

An insectoid creature covered in teeth was gnawing at the rocks below with its teeth, advancing toward the base.

"There's bugs down there, come up soon." Xiao Xuan stood up, took a deep breath, and said to the people around him.

Recently, many readers have been asking Xiaolong why the human technology in "Star Troopers" is so high, and he still uses crowd tactics with guns and ammunition to fight bugs? For Mao, do not use armored tanks, cars, bombers, or even directly crush the past with Gundam?

The reason for Xiaolong's own guess is that "Starship Troopers" is based on the American science fiction writer Robert Troop. Heinlein's masterpiece "Starship Paratroopers" is an adaptation of a science fiction war movie, the writer wrote it in the fifties of the last century, probably around 1955, because the book was published in 1959, the author can only write earlier.

So this means that the author of this book because of the limitations of his time, so that he has a little lack of understanding of advanced weapons, he probably only knows about spaceships, which are relatively large and empty, but in more detail what powerful weapons and equipment should be used to fight in the future, such as Tomahawk cruise missiles? Like the Patriot? For example, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft? Another example is a stealth fighter? Or the latest kind of powerful bombing tank, this author should not know as much about this aspect as a child who likes to watch TV.

This led to the scene in this movie, where humans come down in a tall spaceship with rifles and grenades to fight with bugs...... Of course, in fact, this is also quite exciting, although it seems to us modern people that some logic does not make sense, and the weapons exhibition of the federal army is a little uncoordinated and unreasonable, but Xiaolong still decided to follow the original movie's table xiàn form to write, or to humans with guns against insects, that kind of armored weapon flow is still forgotten, but if you take a gun to fight insects, it is actually better than the armored flow to crush insects in terms of table xiàn force, so don't continue to read this, such an obvious bug, Xiaolong can still see it......
