Chapter 178: The swarm that suddenly appeared
About 500 kilometers away on the outskirts of Tico City, under the thin clouds, two Viking fighters on patrol flew over a dense mountain forest. An unhurried call rang out in the communication channel.
"Uh, Echo Two, I'm Echo One, have you noticed something unusual about the mountain forest below?"
"Echo One, which area are you referring to? Complete! ”
"Coordinate point XX, YY, it's the mountain forest we just flew over, I feel like someone is staring at us, over!"
"Echo One, it is recommended to inspect the area at an ultra-low altitude, just in case, over!"
"Roger, adjusting the flight trajectory, suggesting that you take cover at high altitude, over!"
"Echo Two understands, over!"
At the end of the call, the leading Viking fighter shook its fat iron wings, drew a graceful arc in the air, and plunged headlong into the mountain forest with a faint eerie steam on the ground.
"The high-frequency search holographic radar is activated, the target area is being scanned, no suspicious targets have been found, over!"
In the cockpit of the Viking fighter, the pilot wearing a holographic helmet saw that there was no suspicious target signal on the holographic radar, so he curiously probed a little to see the mountains and forests below that made him vaguely uneasy.
"Snort......"
At this moment, a shrill and low whistling sound blew through the mountain forest, and a dense rain of bone spurs suddenly drilled out, and in an instant, it rose into the air, and the head of the pocket covered the Viking fighter plane.
"Enemy attack!"
Suddenly, the Viking pilot's pupils dilated instantly, and he exclaimed in surprise at the communication channel, instinctively maneuvering the fighter to avoid the deadly bone spur rain.
"Boom!"
However, the pilot's reaction was still half a beat slower, and after a loud bang, the Viking fighter turned into a huge fireball and smashed into the mountain forest with a roar.
"Call the Eagle's Nest, Call the Eagle's Nest! I'm Echo No. 2, Area XX, YY met the enemy, and Echo No. 1 was shot down! Repeat, Area XX, YY met the enemy, Echo One was shot down! Repeat ......"
The pilot of another Viking fighter hovering at high altitude hurriedly adjusted the communication channel and sent back an emergency warning signal to the base. However, as soon as his words fell, a group of alien dragons suddenly sprang up in the mountains and forests directly below, and pounced on the Viking fighter with a strange roar......
In Tico City, on the playground of the temporary school where Erin works, Haoyi is hugging his wife, sitting on a pile of construction steel, watching the children on the playground play happily.
"Husband, I really want to have a child of our own!" Erin, who had a happy face, smiled softly at Haoyi's firm and warm chest.
"Yes!" Smelling the faint fragrance of his wife's hairline, Haoyi's heart is also tender.
The sun was slightly slanting, and unconsciously, Haoyi and Erin hugged each other like this, sitting on the edge of the playground, and you talked for an hour or two. Haoyi didn't tell Erin about the "childbearing" order given to him by Bob and his wife, but just accompanied Erin ramblingly, recalling the bits and pieces of the past that the two had experienced together.
On the construction site in the distance, various types of construction machinery are emitting bursts of noisy roars. However, these noises are nothing to Hao Yi, who has been running around on the battlefield recently. For him, being able to sit quietly with his wife in his arms seems to have become a rare luxury.
The world is like chess, and Haoyi, who is in his twenties, never thought that the burden on his shoulders would be so heavy. I don't know when it began, the big hand of fate in the dark pushed him step by step to his current position. In the entire St. Prory's Star District, trillions of Li people have regarded Haoyi as a savior-like existence, hoping that Haoyi can let himself live a happy and stable life again.
"With great power comes great responsibility!"
Suddenly, Haoyi unconsciously remembered a famous quote that he didn't know from nowhere, and a somewhat helpless wry smile flashed across the corners of his mouth. He was born with superpowers, and he became some kind of messy crosshairs, and after a series of staggering adventures, he actually became the de facto ruler of the remote star region of St. Prory.
is not a long-standing and spicy character like Bob, and Haoyi, who has not experienced much of the world, can often only rely on his own intuition and preferences to make decisions. Although he can always miraculously turn evil into good fortune, walking on thin ice all the way also makes Haoyi vaguely feel tired.
"When will I be like Lao Bao, be a hands-off shopkeeper and enjoy a quiet and peaceful life!"
Looking up at the blue sky slightly, Hao Yi unconsciously felt a sigh in his heart. And at this moment, a heavy and hurried footsteps suddenly came, interrupting Haoyi's somewhat confused thoughts.
Irene, who was about to fall asleep with squinted eyes in her arms, seemed to be awakened by the sound of footsteps. Following the prestige, the two saw a staff officer with two heavily armed guards hurrying towards this direction.
"What's wrong?" Haoyi's heart jumped, and he hurriedly let go of his wife, got up to meet him, and said in a deep voice with a frown.
"Uncle, in an area about five hundred and twenty kilometers away from Tico City, an unknown alien insect army has appeared!" The staff officer, who was slightly out of breath, hurriedly saluted Hao Yi and reported briefly: "Two Viking fighters on patrol were suddenly shot down, and the whereabouts of the pilot are unknown!" Two other groups of fighters on duty are rushing to the area to take over the tactical reconnaissance mission! ”
"Didn't the space intelligence system find anything?" Hearing that the Viking fighter was shot down, Haoyi's heart suddenly sank.
"Yes! When the second Viking was shot down, satellites scanning the area found signals from several Xosaurus. However, after the Viking fighter was shot down, the signal of the Xenosaurus suddenly disappeared. The area is a dense mountain forest, and ten days ago, the ground forces searched the mountain forest, and at that time there were no signs of the presence of alien insects! ”
"Let's go, go back to base!" Hao Yi waved his hand, whispered a word to the staff officer, and wanted to stride out. As soon as he took two steps, Hao Yi suddenly remembered something, hurriedly turned around and walked back quickly, raised his hand to hold the shoulder of Erin Xiang, who was a little confused, and said softly: "Good wife, hurry home after finishing work, don't be too tired, your husband is also going to work!" ”
"Well, go ahead, wait for you to come back for dinner in the evening, okay?" Erin smiled sweetly, half-pleadingly.
"Good!" After a little hesitation, Hao Yi finally smiled and nodded heavily, let go of his big hand and turned around and hurried out of the dormitory area of the construction site with the staff officers and guards.
"Buzz!" A low roar sounded, and the armed off-road locomotive carrying Haoyi and several people rolled up a puff of smoke and dust, and drove out of the construction site quickly.
"Uncle, the other two groups of Viking fighters were also shot down!" When the off-road locomotive was about to fly out of the city of Xintico, the staff officer in the passenger seat suddenly turned around and said loudly to Hao Yi, who was frowning.
"Headphones!" Hao Yi frowned, stretched out his hand to the huge communication headset worn by the staff officer, and shouted into the headset: "Headquarters headquarters, I am Hao Yi!" Tell me the latest information! ”
"Uncle, three groups of Viking fighters of the Eighth Reconnaissance Unit of the Aviation Corps were shot down in the XX and YY areas one after another. According to the pilots' reports, there was a ground force of at least 100,000 Alien Worms, as well as a considerable number of Alien Dragons. At present, the space intelligence department is adjusting the position of the reconnaissance satellite to confirm the appearance of the alien insect force in the area! ”
"One hundred thousand!" Haoyi couldn't help but gasp, and scolded in a lost voice: "Damn, how did these doggy beasts come out?" ”
"Back to my uncle, we don't know! The ground clearance team had just completed their mission to clean up the area ten days ago, and at that time there were no signs of the presence of insects! ”
"Which ground force is now closest to the region? How many troops are there, and how far are they from the area and the city of Tiko? Haoyi frowned and continued to ask in a deep voice.
"The closest to the area was a search detachment of the 3rd Regiment of the 9th Panzer Division of the 10th Army Group, with about half a battalion in strength, and no tank mecha units equipped with heavy firepower, except for a small number of armored locomotives. The detachment is located in the KK, LL area, about ninety kilometers from this area, and about four hundred and eighty kilometers from the city of Neutiko! ”
"Only half a battalion? And what about other ground forces at a range of a thousand km? Haoyi's brows suddenly furrowed even deeper.
"Back to my uncle, the closest of the other ground forces to the area is about two hundred kilometers, and the largest number of troops is only about one regiment!"
"Holy shit, it's really going to take advantage of loopholes!" Hao Yi gritted his teeth and smashed his fist on the beam of the locomotive, and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass my order, with Tico City as the center, all ground troops within a radius of five hundred kilometers immediately and urgently return to Tike City." The Air Force's Viking fighter fleet no longer needs to send fighters to the region, and the space intelligence department will find out the reality of the alien unit in the region as soon as possible! ”
After that, Haoyi raised his head and shouted to the locomotive driver: "Stop!" I'll drive it! ”
"Uh, uncle?" The staff officer in the passenger seat looked back in amazement, obviously a little surprised by Hao Yi's order.
"Execute the order!" Haoyi thinned his face and shouted in a deep voice unhappily.
A moment later, the armed off-road locomotive roared up from the ground, and at a speed that exceeded the red line of the dial, it brought a powerful whirlwind to quickly roll out of Tico City, heading straight for the Longtan base at the foot of the Tianshen Terrace.
To understand Haoyi's anxiety, we have to start with the current situation of the new army.
After successfully capturing Lei back to the base, the main forces on the planets in the entire star sector adjusted their strategies one after another according to Haoyi's instructions, first sticking to their respective garrison areas, and then sending clearance troops of different sizes to launch offensive operations against those insect swarms that had been greatly weakened due to internal friction.
The theater of operations, where the capital city of Tico is located, currently has the eighth and twelfth army groups. After a short period of rest and recuperation, the strength of the two major army groups has been restored to varying degrees. At present, Guo Ling, the second adjutant of the General Staff, is leading several clearing and suppression troops formed by the elite main forces of the two major army groups, with Tike City as the center, sweeping the periphery little by little.
At this moment, the main force of Guo Ling's clearing force had swept to an area of 1,000 kilometers outside Tico City. In other words, within a radius of 1,000 kilometers from the city of Tiko, there were only a few small units of clearing troops to carry out the later sweeping mission.
In other words, the current Tico City is simply an empty city without defense!
