Yes, Roger has to come on.

In the history of mankind, there has never been a precedent for the success of the HIVE Raiders. Even the Minsk HIVE offensive that mobilized more than a million people and more than 20,000 military vehicles ended in human defeat.

And after that, in all HIVE strategy battles, the number of human beings participating in the war was about five or six hundred thousand, and they were still defeated again and again.

The reasons for the failure boil down to one thing, and that is that there is no information about the HIVE neighborhood.

It is now known that after the establishment of HIVE in a certain area, the surface of the area will change dramatically. It's not just a matter of destroying all the flora and fauna in a certain area, but the rivers that Beta hates will also be silently cut off due to the wanton excavation and expansion of the deep underground, and the flattening of urban buildings or the nearby low hills.

In such an extreme environment, the transportation of supplies for nearly a million people alone may be nerve-wracking for mankind.

What's more, as mentioned earlier, the BETA inside HIVE is dense, and various branch passages emerge in an endless stream, and it is undoubtedly a live target to break through directly from the main longitudinal pit, and if you choose the branch camouflage longitudinal pit, you will be entangled to death by the BETA that may be directly dug at any time without a detailed map.

The above is just a theory, Roger just jumped from the ignorant fire, and he noticed the key details that he himself had not carefully studied (listened to) -

The various branch passages of HIVE themselves are actually alive?!

For example, the biological tissue that wraps the entire passage itself in layers above and under the feet of the head is both like a blood vessel and a slime carpet of the Zerg in StarCraft. Although these things are not directly offensive on their own, they can at least serve to isolate communication. As for the other obvious features, of course, they are covered up and misleading.

If you rely on tactical aircraft to carry various active reconnaissance and scanning methods inside the passage, they are theoretically providing the enemy with their own accurate position. Whether it is displayed on an instrument such as optical sonar or infrared, the difference between the beta miniature species and the channel wall can be erased at any time.

The dense red in front of you may be hundreds or thousands of chariot-level, but it is also possible that it is just an ordinary layer of goomy.

So since breaking into the underground pit, the forward assault mission of the Senotome squadron has really been handed over to Roger alone. Only he can use countless tentacles and other inhuman means of observation to detect and clear the obstacles along the way.

However, that doesn't mean that others can simply follow Roger and have nothing to do.

The HIVE tunnel is not much spacious, and in order to ensure safety, even if the traditional formation cannot be deployed, it is obvious that Senotome can't give up on herself and play a long snake formation. What's more, BETA's ability to drill into the ground allows them to appear in directions that are not originally potholes at any time, which makes the passages that Roger has repeatedly explored not 100% safe.

It's like navigating an active maze, not to mention the field of vision, the ever-changing passages and monster spawn points alone are enough to make explorers scratch their heads.

THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND THAT IS TO DIRECTLY WIPE OUT THE ENTIRE HIVE AND THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL BETA WITH IRRESISTIBLE FORCE. Otherwise, even if Roger and Chen Yi have various means to be invincible in the region, from the overall point of view, they will still be caught in a tug-of-war with BETA.

The key reason is that the two of them have all kinds of scruples, such as the most fundamental "main line has not been opened", so that even if they have the cover of Xiangyue Xihu, they still can't use all their strength at all.

No one knows whether the so-called main quest is long or short, and what the content is. Even the performance of the BETA side is still a mystery, not to mention anything else, if this kind of guy with the ability to evolve has one-tenth of the ability to adapt to evolution in Macross F, the reincarnation side will have to continue the tragedy.

Not only are there more than 20 HIVEs on Earth, but also on the Moon and Mars. If Xiangyue Xihu can't make MACROSS, the remaining two dry eyes won't be able to hold on to Mars - Mars is 55.75 million kilometers away from the earth, and it takes 185 seconds to move forward at the speed of light, which is just past Ultraman's transformation time, isn't it?

(Okay, although I reiterate the old saying, Ultraman's transformation on Earth is limited because the environment is too bad, but who can guarantee that the environment on Mars is good.) Judging by the BETA's transformation activities on Earth, I'm afraid it's only worse...... ）

Roger wasn't stupid, he had already asked DG to catch a few betas on the spot and read the information they remembered about the location of the reactor. But as mentioned earlier, except for being able to calculate the straight-line distance from the reactor, there is no other use.

As a monomer, the beta itself is not a straight line, up and down, left and right, and turned a few times before the ambush, waiting for the otome squadron to enter the ambush, not to mention, the other beta groups want to do some temporary hole assault, or directly trap and bury alive, etc., will change the original tunnel direction.

Not even on the BETA side, if Senotome fires by herself if she loses moderation, such as Hanko Kazama's Type 92 missile blowing up too hard, or whoever has a Type 87 support assault gun in her hand hitting a certain support node, etc., the one that should collapse will also collapse. In similar cases, there is no solution at all except to return the same way.

After repeated assaults for nearly an hour, Roger finally gave up his previous "lazy" plan, and after communicating with Chen Yi through a secret channel, he decided to use the stupidest method-

MAKE DG RELEASE DOPPELGANGERS, CAPTURE AS MANY BETAS AS POSSIBLE AND GUIDE THEM TO DIG HOLES IN PLACES WHERE OTOME AND NORMAL BETA CAN'T NOTICE, AND TRY TO OPEN THE SHORTEST LINE TO THE REACTOR DIRECTLY!

Although this method is a bit stupid, it is absolutely practical, and it can be regarded as the most basic method of brute-force maze. But the problem is that using DG's doppelganger control ability may not be a big deal for Roger himself, but it's difficult to talk about it on DG's side. It's easier to simply devour than to wipe out the BETA's self-will and then play a puppet show, right?

Within two minutes of making up his mind, Roger's side simultaneously sensed DG's strenuous manipulation - if he wanted to dig a tunnel that could allow the Senotome squadron to rush directly to the reactor without interference, DG would have to control nearly a thousand BETA, right? And it definitely can't be a pure small breed - this made Roger frown secretly and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, if DG hadn't completed that dormant evolution before, maybe it would have been buried alive by BETA here today.

But the most he could do now was to tell Captain Izumi to let go of some of the fire controls.

In the past, the march of the Otome squadron was to avoid the team BETA as much as possible, and when it encountered a small group of BETA that could not be bypassed, Roger was the main attacker, and the others cautiously assisted in elimination. OTHERWISE, THE INTENSE FIGHT ITSELF WILL NOT ONLY ATTRACT MORE BETA, BUT WILL ALSO CAUSE THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED POTHOLES TO BE DIVERTED. Now that Roger has used the DG clone, Senotome doesn't have to keep a low profile on his side, and it should be right to turn the tiger away from the BETA a few times when necessary.

At the same time, with most of the long-range communications obscured by HIVE, the human forces on the ground are still carrying out a series of necessary steps in the traditional battle of the war.

At the command of the coalition forces, all the attacking forces that had already entered the ground suppression stage exerted their strength again, and in the areas where the tactical aircraft detachments had cleared or were hunting the light species, various types of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, heavy artillery, and naval guns poured down like rain.

And that's just the beginning.

With the opening of the underwater hatches of the submarine force one after another, tactical planes with a height of more than 25 meters appeared on the landing beachhead on the shore of Yokohama, which had long been completely controlled by humans.

A-6J, Type 81 tactical infantry attack aircraft, Poseidon.

AT THE BEGINNING, IT WAS A STRONG ATTACK MODE WITH SIX 36MM ASSAULT GUNS, AND AFTER LANDING, IT DID NOT HESITATE TO ADVANCE IN A STRAIGHT LINE, SWEEPING ALL KINDS OF BETA ...... ALONG THE WAY.

It should be noted that in this battle, the human side obviously did not play according to the so-called common sense.

In a normal sense, whether it is the A-6 of the US military or the Poseidon of the United States, this amphibious attack aircraft itself should be used at the first time of landing warfare, and it is mainly responsible for beach-grabbing operations under the beta high-intensity counter-shock wave.

This time, there is a monster tactical aircraft unit like the Senotome squadron at the head.,Even if there are BETAs that rush to the shore, they are brought back-of course, there are also DG factors that attract BETA--if you rigidly put the attack aircraft first and then change the tactical aircraft, it is meaningless except to waste time.。

When the Otome squadron confirmed that it had already penetrated into the ground, and the other battlefields were in place to contain the ace tactical machine units, sending Kaishen to strengthen the offensive firepower was a necessary means to bring the beta back to the ground battle as much as possible.

With the landing of the sea god, both the sand fog and Major Choi's side have also strengthened their attacks, and the battlefield has become more and more blooming.

However, this is still just the beginning.

Senotome was underneath, the sea god was on the shore, and Major Choi, the sand fog lieutenant, was running around, and more and more Beta was led away from the direction of the main longitudinal pit......

The fourth step of the HIVE strategy is launched.

The Orbital Force is back in action.

What appeared in low-earth orbit this time was no longer an armored destroyer for bombing, but an orbital airborne tactical aircraft unit equipped with a re-breakthrough shell!

At a time when the BETA is being led away by various factors, it is obviously necessary to attempt a direct attack from the main pit directly above.

Under normal circumstances, for HIVE strategic operations that are not large in scale or whose prospects are not optimistic, it is sufficient for the orbital airborne troops to dispatch two tactical aircraft wings, one main and one reserved. However, because this star operation is indeed closely related to the future of the country, he actually lost three wings in one fell swoop from low-earth orbit.

In the following minutes, the area around the surface structure of the HIVE in Yokohama became the most aggressive tactical area.

Although Roger didn't know what was going on above his head on Roger's side, even according to the unified tactical deployment in advance, he or Senotome Squadron could vaguely guess that the coalition side was really desperately trying.

According to the instrument, at this moment, they were already more than 300 meters deep underground, so naturally they could not hear the increasingly intense roar of artillery fire on the ground, and even the violent shaking of the ground caused by countless explosions could not be transmitted to them. Every minute, every second, there are familiar and unfamiliar soldiers sacrificed above their heads, and it is definitely very close, but in this dark and damp tunnel, everything seems so far away.

Quite far away, including their target, the HIVE reactor.

Even people like Roger, who often don't listen carefully, know that the depth of the main pit of the second stage of HIVE is only about 350 meters, and with the distance they have penetrated so far, it should theoretically be almost parallel to the reactor. However, in the countless BETA memories that were captured and manipulated back from the DG side, the reactor obviously had to go further down, even lower.

Not only two or three times, but it has reached a depth of nearly four times, 1,200 meters.

The main longitudinal pit at this depth is theoretically equivalent to HIVE, which has developed to the fourth stage!

It is conceivable that if there is no Roger, to be precise, if there is no DG intelligence, no matter how tough the battle otome squadron is this time, and the orbital airborne troops will throw three more divisions down, I am afraid that they will not even see a star and a half of the reactor.

The number of BETA controlled by DG is still slowly increasing, and after the battle just now, the puppet digging force has now broken through the depth of 900 meters and is advancing towards a distance of 1,000 meters.

"It's time to exert your strength."

With Roger's self-talk, in a new hole that suddenly opened in the upper right corner of the head of the Senotome squadron, nearly a hundred betas that rushed out were directly stuffed back by the tentacles three or two times.

Of course, after each one was dismantled.

And Chen Yi's support assault gun was also raised at the same time, aiming at the tunnel wall on the left side, firing three times in a row.

After the rubble was gone, what appeared in the direction of the shelling was the wide passage that the BETA under the command of DG had already dug and sloped to the bottom.

"Depth 1100...... 1150…… 1170…… Breakthrough. "DG's debriefing was methodical.

And the entire Senotome squadron was led by Roger and advanced at full speed along the passage. The path was unexpectedly unobstructed - a "miracle" caused by the DG-controlled BETA digging tunnels while leaving a small number of individuals to block possible "former kinds".

Just two minutes later, the strangely shaped reactor appeared in front of everyone in the Senotome squadron.

A faint cheer rang out in the communication channel, and only a few people noticed that Roger and Chen Yi had been silent since jumping out of the tunnel, and their eyes were clearly in the same direction.

In the spacious space at the bottom of the main longitudinal pit, countless BETAs did not pounce at the first time, but seemed to be inexplicably under pressure from Roger's bare-handed body, at best, they were only closely guarding the huge reactor.

In stark contrast to the reactor with this obvious goal, there are slender columnar objects.

At the tops of those columns facing vertically upward, something was faintly glittering.

"Uh-uh......" This is a disgusting sound from Haruka Mizumiya who is not aware of the fire and is forcibly suppressed.

Quicke Mizuki, who hadn't yet understood what was going on, pointed the viewfinder at those points of light almost at the same time as Yuyo of the Huangwu Temple, and turned on the magnification mode to the maximum-

Transparent, giant glass test tube-like archaic body.

Seemingly, flooded with liquid.

And the strange shape wrapped in the transparent liquid......

A few more nausea sounded in the communication channel of the Senotome squadron.

It's clearly a connection to the purely exposed, human spine,

Innumerable, brain.

Human, brain.

……

……

At the same time, in some corner of the earth, a finger reached out to a certain button with a slight trembling feeling.

Then, dissonance, sounded.

"The UN Space Command Center calls all combat units, please maintain sufficient altitude from the ground!"

Most of the Shiranui channels of the Senotome squadron couldn't hear it at all, only the Squadron Leader Isumita and the two reincarnators faintly sounded this sudden warning in their ears.

"Immediately evade! Repeat, immediately evade! ”

On the ground, whether it was in the ears of the instructor of the Divine Palace Division or Lieutenant Shawu, Major Cui received this mechanical warning sound nominally issued under the banner of the United Nations, but in fact it was obviously from the Mi Guoyan.

"We have launched a new weapon of mass destruction, please stay out of the way immediately!"

The stiff English continued, but not many people cared about the details anymore. Because just above the Yokohama HIVE, countless AL warheads had been bombed down before, and a full three tactical aircraft wings had been released, and at this moment, a dazzling white ball of light slowly fell in defiance of gravity.

Then, the soldiers on the battlefield all noticed that the beta rays that had been sporadically strafing around before were now raising their heads to the sky in unison, shining at that mass with full power.

If it had been a tactical aircraft, or even an armored destroyer, it would have been melted down by this concentrated firepower. But at this moment, it was clear that the white ball of light was still falling unhurriedly, falling.

Then, above this leisurely ball of light, another identical ball of light appeared.

There is no doubt that what the people of the United States dropped without warning in advance was a new concept weapon called the legendary five-dimensional effect explosive bomb.

In other words, Roger and Chen Yi have never underestimated it.

G-bombs.

"Damn it, rice devil!" On a certain station belonging to the garrison of the imperial capital, there was a curse sound from the sand fog lieutenant gritting his teeth and full of new hatred and old hatred.

In fact, it was far more than him, Major Cui on the battlefield, the Imperial Military Headquarters outside the battlefield, the East Asia Union, and even Xiangyue Xihu there, there were more or less similar curses.

Everyone knows very well that this is because the people of the United States have noticed that the Zhanotome squadron has attacked near the reactor, and they are afraid that the G element will be cheaper for others, so they will not hesitate to tear their faces to get a piece of the pie.

Just ignore the two G bombs that bombarded it, at least there are no more East Asian joint troops on the ground, and there should be little left of the large and small BETA before, and then as long as a few more tactical aircraft are airdropped, everything will be done.

As for the Senotome squadron in the depths of the main pit at this moment, there will always be sacrifices in all battles, isn't it?

The instructor of the Jingu Division, who reacted to this at the first time, even wanted to find a camouflage pit nearby and jump in, because her side had long lost the communication link with the otome squadron, and in the instructor's mind, her students probably didn't hear the alarm at all, and even if they heard it, it was too late to evacuate, and she, as an instructor, would never allow this kind of thing to happen in front of her eyes!

But this obviously unwise behavior was finally stopped at the behest of Xiang Yue Xihu, and no one knew what was said in the secret communication from the genius doctor, but from this moment on, the instructor of the Divine Palace Division, who had left the battlefield, never re-entered the star battle.

……

……

"Do you hear that? Narumi Takayuki! ”

Except for Captain Izu, even the general didn't know what he was referring to when he heard this question, but this did not prevent everyone from noticing the various abnormalities that appeared on the person before the reactor.

And not only humans, but even the BETAs who had forcibly suppressed their instinctive fears and vaguely opened their teeth and claws at him began to shrink back, and they were more and more tightly grouped back on the reactor.

Roger turned around slowly, and a sneer that was visibly becoming more and more hideous began to emerge from the corner of his mouth, and then—

In an instant, just in an instant, the BETAs who were originally densely wrapped around the reactor with their bodies all disappeared like autumn wind sweeping away leaves.

"This should be the third time, and the last time I ask you."

While speaking slowly, Roger silently withdrew all the tentacles behind him, and at the moment when he just burst out in anger, the living BETA next to the reactor was almost all slaughtered by his tentacles. At this moment, the dripping purple was like a trickle stream, gradually emerging from behind him, and slowly encroaching on the nearby ground, even in front of the reactor.

Only the beta blood, blood and purple, blood.

For the rest, you can't see even the slightest minced meat.

Therefore, at this moment, between Roger and Chen Yi, there seemed to be no other obstacles, even the cockpit door of Shiranui - at the moment when Roger was furious, almost everyone in the Senotome squadron except for Hasase Mizuki and the general was in danger, even though he knew that the tentacles behind Roger would not take the initiative to attack him, he still instinctively manipulated Shiranui to slowly retreat. So now there are only four Shiranui on the opposite side of Roger.

And Chen Yi was the first and only person who opened the hatch and stood out directly.

Behind him, as usual, it is Haruka Suzumiya's ignorance. Behind the Lianggong Yao, there is the Quicke Shuiyue, who is in the peripheral alert position, and has just had time to turn around at this moment, and Yuyang of the Huangwu Academy.

Chen Yi, who was standing on the ignorant fire, looked at Roger condescendingly, and did not speak, as if he was patiently waiting for the latter to ask that question.

Then, Roger raised his head and looked straight into the past without evading, still, word by word: "Is this the world realm that you have to protect no matter what?!" ”

The three people behind Chen Yi didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao, but with their relationship with the two reincarnators for so long, they all vaguely seemed to understand, or barely understand, why did Lu appear in front of him.

So, the three pairs of eyes instinctively roamed back and forth on the two opposite sides at the moment, restless and jumping.

Chen Yi didn't speak, he just nodded slowly, but very firmly.

"Well, let's die!!"

In the next moment, Roger's fist had already flashed in front of Chen Yi's eyes.
