Chapter 061: Cockroaches

In the main army of the Alien Ground, there is a backbone unit that specializes in short- and medium-range attacks. They had beetle-like, barbed-like petrified leather armor, two rows of short, thick legs, a canine-like head tucked into thick leather armor, a pair of ping-pong-ball-sized eyes that shimmered green, cold, and a mouth full of sharp teeth capable of spewing out a slime that could erode steel. They are several times the size of ordinary hoppers and almost the size of a human siege tank. Although their movement speed is much worse than that of jumping insects, their attack power is several times that of jumping insects. In the main ground army of the Aliens, they often act as raiders similar to those of human ground forces.

And what this class is most proud of is that they are born with a self-healing ability, and can even heal themselves at breakneck speed in the heat of battle. Their ancestors are from the Zerg Shijie, an insect called Zantal that evolved in a dark and damp environment deep in the Gaxas Mountains. After the reorganization and modification of their genes by the alien master, this originally timid insect quickly became the backbone of the alien ground force.

They have a nickname that makes ordinary humans smile - cockroaches!

Obviously, the innate ability to heal itself quickly gives this insect a very strong ability to survive on the battlefield, almost similar to the so-called unbeatable Xiaoqiang in human mouths. However, when the "cockroaches" fight the enemy, the strong acid slime sprayed out is extremely lethal, even the thick armor of the heavy ground unit chariot mech in the human army is difficult to effectively resist the corrosion of this strong acid slime, let alone those marines who only wear CMC armor.

If it is a one-on-one situation and encounters a cockroach, then the hapless Marine must pray that his armor speed system will allow him to escape from the cockroach's attack range as soon as possible. Otherwise, what awaits him can only be corroded by the strong acid mucus of cockroaches to the point that there is no bone residue left.

And right now, the hundreds of marines who barely resisted the attack of the jumping insects were in front of this kind of natural enemy-like alien insects.

"Da Da Da! Boom Boom! "Although Hao Yi, who has the mark of the Star Spirit King, is very familiar with the main force of this insect ground force, those marines who encountered the insect for the first time know nothing about the details of cockroaches. In the eyes of the Marines, almost all of the monsters in front of them that made their heads hurt looked the same, and they all looked so hideous and hateful. Seeing that the first wave of jumping insect attacks could be repelled by them, the Marines suddenly boosted their morale under the commander's loud and fierce voice, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, with the assault rifles, grenades and other weapons in their hands, they frantically sprayed a bright and deadly rain of bullets at the cockroaches that were slowly approaching.

"Snort......" Thin pieces of fire flashed one after another on the hard leather armor shells of those cockroaches, and patches of green liquid splashed on the cockroaches. However, this unusually dense attack did not stop the cockroaches from their slow but determined steps, but only gave them an even more angry roar.

"I'm X! What kind of monster is that? Just as Hao Yi was watching the fierce and abnormal battle of humans and insects in the distance, Maier, who had finished conveying Hao Yi's order, carried an electronic telescope that he didn't know where to pull from, and hurriedly ran in. Seeing Hao Yi frowning and staring intently at the battle situation in the distance, Maier curiously raised the electronic telescope in his hand and looked in the direction of Hao Yi's gaze. It didn't matter what it looked like, but it startled the battle-hardened veteran officer, and he scolded in a loud voice: "Why can't you fight to death?" The skin is so thick! ”

"Uncle, where did you get the good things from the dead old Mai! Show me! Haoyi, who was completely attracted by cockroaches because of his attention, naturally didn't notice that Maier was coming in, but was startled by Meier's yelling. Looking back at the electronic telescope in Meier's hand, Haoyi bared his teeth and cursed, and snatched the telescope with his hand.

"It seems that the situation is not good, I'm afraid those dog-day marines won't be able to withstand it!" At this moment, the sky was already slightly bright, and even without the help of the night vision function of the electronic telescope, Maier could vaguely see that the Marine defense line in front of him was already in a kind of confusion. And this confusion was apparently brought about by the cockroaches that suddenly joined the attacking front.

"No, we've never seen such an unkillable monster in the mine that day!" Recalling the picture that Shicai saw from the electronic telescope, Meier was surprised in his heart at these cockroaches that could resist the fierce fire of the marines, and muttered to himself with a slightly pale face: "Moreover, how can these beasts suddenly gush out so much, look at this jiashi, I'm afraid there are more than a thousand heads!" ”

"These beasts have a nickname, they're called cockroaches!" Hao Yi put down the binoculars in his hand, but his eyes were still attracted by the fierce battle situation in front of him, and he explained to Maier in a low voice with a blushing face: "Without heavy fire support such as chariots, it is difficult for a marine corps with only some light weapons to resist the attack of cockroach swarms!" You guessed right, Lao Mai, look at it, and in less than a minute, the defense line of the Marine Company will collapse! ”

"A minute? No way? So what do we do? Or do you want to hide here and keep your head still? When Maier heard this, he was stunned. According to him, although those large monsters were thick-skinned and advancing towards the defense line of the Marine Company like siege vehicles, those heavily armed Marines were not vegetarians, so they could carry them for half an hour.

"Let's take a look first, hopefully the situation will be more optimistic than we thought!" Hao Yi groaned slightly, and then picked up the electronic telescope in his hand and continued to observe the battle situation in the distance.

"Whew......" When those cockroaches withstood the stormy firepower of the landing battle company and forced themselves to a place less than fifty meters away from the defense line, an extremely low and earth-shattering roar suddenly surged from the swarm of black pressure insects that continued to surge in the follow-up.

"Sneer...... Poof, poof! As if suddenly receiving an order to attack, the scarred cockroaches that rushed to the front suddenly let out a roar, and the ugly mouths suddenly opened in unison, and the green and faint green smoke liquid was sprayed out one after another, cutting through the dim and scorching air, and falling straight on the heads of those marines.

"......Snort" When the green liquid stained the armor of the marines, a cloud of billowing white smoke suddenly came out. The heavy CMC armor was powerless against these strong acid solutions, and was completely dissolved in the blink of an eye. And the speed of the strong acid mucus erosion is not reduced, and it directly devours the human body in the armor.

"Ahh Help me! Suddenly, the Marines, who had been hit by the cockroach's spray of strong acid slime, let out a series of terrible howls of despair, threw away their rifles one after another, and fell to the ground and rolled desperately. Being eaten away by the strong acid mucus of the cockroach bit by bit, the piercing feeling is far more painful than being splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid.

"Medic! Medic! A series of panicked exclamations rang out one after another in the Marine Company's defensive line. There is no doubt that the first wave of cockroach attacks has confused the Marine Company's defensive line all day. Just from the already messy firepower, it can be seen how much the cockroach's powerful attack power shocked the marines.

"Whew-poof!" Taking advantage of the slight confusion in the firepower of the landing battle company, the cockroaches, who had been given a chance to breathe, continued to spew deadly strong acid slime non-stop, while continuing to rumble forward.

......At the same time, the slightly retreating thritters began to form another wave of attacks in that muffled roar, and the baring teeth and claws of the jagged bounced swiftly past the cockroaches like synchronized battle tanks, and with a strange cry that made people shudder, they pressed over the Marine line.

"Retreat! Retreat! Seeing that it was no longer possible to effectively block the frenzied attack of the swarm, the commander's panicked command suddenly sounded in the defense line of the Marine Company.

The tense heartstrings of the marines, who had been gritting their teeth and holding on to it, suddenly loosened after hearing the commander's order to retreat, and there was a chaotic noise, so they each picked up their rifles, threw down those comrades who fell to the ground, turned around and ran to the barracks, warehouses and other buildings behind them. Listening to the deafening screams of the insects behind him and the rumbling footsteps of the mountains, the marines who scattered and fled for their lives wished that their parents would not give themselves two more legs.

"Sneer...... Click! Finally, when the first jumping worm swooped into the crowd of Marines, the situation on the battlefield suddenly became chaotic. The Marine Company, which had obviously collapsed, was quickly divided into small clusters of chaotic chaos by the jumping insects that rushed over one by one. Under the attack of the sharp claws of the jumping insects and the strong acid slime sprayed by the cockroaches, one after another the Marines fell to the ground, groaning in pain or convulsing a few times before they could no longer move. The Marine Company, which was originally nearly 100 men, suffered heavy casualties almost in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Hao Yi and the others, who were hiding in the sentry post and quietly watching the battle situation, were as white as ashes. Even though he had expected that the Marines would not be able to resist the army of insects joined by cockroaches, Haoyi still did not expect that the battle would be so fierce. Wherever the cockroaches and jumping insects passed, only mutilated corpses were left with scorched green smoke, and the tragic scene was even comparable to the terrifying Nine Hells.

"Boss, they're rushing over!" In the midst of the miserable howl that resounded throughout the valley, a prisoner of war beside Hao Yi suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a few figures in the distance that were rapidly approaching this side, and shouted in surprise.

The two Haoyimaier, who had been awakened, looked in the direction of the prisoner's finger and saw that it was a few panicked marines who had no way to escape, shooting blindly behind them desperately, and rushing towards the checkpoint desperately.

"Old Mai, prepare to open the door and answer them!" Looking at the jumping insects chasing after those marines, a cold glint flashed in Haoyi's eyes, and he gritted his steel teeth and ordered in a deep voice to Maier.
