As dusk fell on the narrow valley, the thick blood-red haze that permeated the jungle grew thicker and thicker, and even with a tactical flashlight with excellent light-gathering performance, it was only possible to see the scene within five steps. In the mountains and forests near the insect nest, from time to time you can hear the low roars of terrible beasts, as well as all kinds of movements similar to intestinal peristalsis, which invisibly add a bit of cautious weirdness, making the human beings in it tremble in shock.

On the side of the gentle slope where the insect nest is located, there is a steep cliff of about twenty or thirty meters rising not far from the ground, separating the insect nest from the mountain forest behind it. There are all kinds of buildings in the insect base, and the highest is only slightly exposed by the cliff. The cliff shrouded the insect base almost perfectly, and if it didn't happen to fly right above the canyon, there was little other chance of spotting it.

"Command center, our department has arrived at the predetermined area, and is conducting a comprehensive reconnaissance of the target area! Complete! "On the side of the cliff facing the Insect Base, in a sunken corner, there are more than twenty figures that almost blend with the rocky background of the cliff, lying there silently. Beneath a heavy gray rain cloth, a series of deep and powerful voices faintly came out.

Under the rain cloth, it was Hao Yi and Shen Hu who were wearing heavy special combat armor. Between the arms of the two of them was a long-range communicator that was constantly flashing with a faint red dot. On the holographic screen of the communicator, it was Lieutenant General Guo Ling, the second adjutant of the General Staff who was also wearing military uniform. In his background, he was in a makeshift military tent, with a variety of complex electronic devices and staff officers busy behind him.

"Understood! Did everything go well on the road, uncle? Guo Ling, who had a solemn face, tried his best to lower his voice, as if he also understood that Haoyi and the others were hiding under the eyelids of the alien insects at the moment, and the slightest carelessness might alarm thousands of insects that killed people without blinking.

"I ran into a little trouble, and a few brothers were killed, but overall it went well!" Hao Yi obviously didn't have the heart to "gossip" with Guo Ling, explained briefly, and then asked in a deep voice: "How is the preparation of the heavy artillery cluster?" Are the first wave of attacking forces ready? ”

"It's all ready, even the attacking forces of the second and third waves are in place! Everything is waiting for your signal from Uncle! Guo Ling saw that Haoyi's face was a little unpleasant, and hurriedly reported.

"Good! Proofreading time, it's 5:42 p.m. Tiko time, and five minutes later, the target area is covered by heavy artillery clusters! Complete! Hao Yi looked at the time displayed in the upper right corner of the holographic helmet mask, and ordered Guo Ling in a deep voice.

"Roger, five minutes later, heavy artillery cluster fire covers!" Guo Ling repeated a short sentence, and then hurriedly cut off the communication.

After finishing the call, Shen Hu hurriedly put away the communicator and heavy rain cloth, and handed it to a special combat team member beside him, but when he turned around, he saw that Hao Yi had quietly climbed to the edge of the cliff, and the probe was looking at something at the insect base diagonally below, and his heart moved and quietly climbed over.

"Uncle, are you worried about something?" Seeing Hao Yi staring motionlessly at the insect nest shrouded in blood-red haze in the distance, Shen Hu asked in a low voice with a flash of thought.

"Nothing! I just don't think this hive base is as simple as it seems! Haoyi's slightly hoarse voice sounded in Shen Hu's headset, as if he was faintly worried.

As Haoyi himself said to Guo Ling, the journey was indeed quite smooth. Of course, this does not include the few submersible blasters encountered when approaching the hive. With the sophisticated equipment of the special combat team and the veterans of the special operations who have experienced a hundred battles, all the insects encountered on the road have been solved by them silently. It's just that the seven or eight explosive insects lurking underground still surprised Haoyi and them, and also caused the unexpected result of the death of six special combat team members.

If it weren't for Shen Hu's unusually precise intuition, perhaps the casualties this time would have been greater, and even the entire army might have been wiped out. Although those blasters, like their brothers, were not able to withstand the fierce fire of the special operators, their attack at the cost of self-explosion was a deadly threat to the team members even in heavy armor. In particular, they can lurk silently underground.

Imagine if the twenty or thirty special combat team members swaggered into the glade in the forest, and the explosive insects lurking in the ground suddenly appeared at that time and took a suicidal blasting attack on the special combat personnel, then the consequences would be unimaginable. Even Haoyi, who has special abilities, has to be afraid of those deadly strong acid solutions.

And the appearance of these explosive insects is what puzzled Haoyi. According to Tinker Bell's previous reconnaissance of this insect base, Hao Yi was completely sure that this insect hive base was only in the primary stage of evolution, and at most it could only hatch primary attacking insects such as jumping insects. In order to hatch a terrifying weapon such as a blasting bug, the worm nest must at least enter the intermediate evolution stage, which is the so-called wormhole level, in order to evolve the explosion worm through the explosion worm nest.

In other words, those few explosive insects could not have been produced by this hive base. Although the picture analysis transmitted from Tinker Bell shows that the primary insect nest on the gentle slope of the river valley, the hatchery, is showing signs of evolution into wormholes, but even so, Haoyi still did not see that there was a nest dedicated to hatching explosive insects in this insect base.

"Could it be that these popping insects are passing by to make soy sauce?" The huge question mark lingered in Hao Yi's mind for a long time, making him feel a trace of uneasy premonition inexplicably.

According to the results of his and Guo Ling's repeated research, this operation should be foolproof. But the sudden appearance of those explosive insects made this secret operation a little more variable, but even Haoyi himself couldn't tell where this variable was.

At this moment, Hao Yi and the others were no more than two hundred meters away from the base of the insect hive in a straight line, and Hao Yi could even clearly see the worker bees and jumping insects wandering between the alien insect buildings such as the evolutionary cavity division pool. As long as they slide down this cliff and make a short sprint, Hao Yi and the others can attack the insect base.

According to Jihua, after Haoyi's capable special operations team entered the designated position, they carried out Zuihou detection and confirmation of the alien insect base, and sent the exact location coordinates of the alien insect base back to the command center, and then the command center controlled the heavy artillery cluster to launch the first round of firepower covering the alien insect base.

The purpose of the first round of fire coverage was to annihilate as much as possible all the Insect Units on the ground in the Insect Hive Base, and destroy a large number of defensive structures such as the Spine Needle Crawler, so as to create enough chaos for Haoyi's special operations team to successfully attack the Insect Base and approach the Insect Hive.

"Uncle, do you want the headquarters to send a few fighters to reconnoiter this canyon again!" Shen Hu obviously guessed what Hao Yi was worried about, and suggested to Hao Yi with a heart move.

"No need, that might alarm these beasts in advance!" Haoyi shook his head and said in denial, and a question mark came to his mind as soon as his mind turned. That is, when encountering those few explosive insects, the high-explosive grenade that ended the lives of five explosive insects made such a big movement, and it didn't attract more alien insects.

At that time, seeing a huge fireball rising from that glade, Hao Yi and the others didn't even have time to check the bodies of the six teammates, so they hurriedly moved to a dense jungle nearby, nervously waiting for the insect reinforcements that might appear at any time. However, what puzzled them was that they had waited for nearly half an hour, not to mention the alien reinforcement army or the alien patrol force, and even a alien insect passing by to play soy sauce did not appear in Haoyi's field of vision.

And then, from there all the way to this cliff, Haoyi and the others never encountered a single insect again, which smoothly made these veterans feel a little hairy in their hearts. Battle-hardened of them all know a battlefield proverb that the calmer they are, the more violent the storm will be.

Of course, Haoyi can use Tinker Bell to detect this insect base again. But Haoyi had a vague hunch that as long as he used the psionic energy in his body to drive Tinker Bell, his location would soon be discovered by the commander of the insect in the hive. Therefore, for the sake of prudence, Haoyi still resisted this thought.

"Captain, the coordinates of the insect base have been sent!" At this moment, the headset of the two sounded the muffled voice of a team member responsible for transmitting the coordinate signal.

"Three minutes and fifty seconds left, Tiger, get the brethren ready!" Hao Yi glanced at the time in the upper right corner of the holographic helmet, turned back to Shen Hu and ordered in a deep voice. As he spoke, Hao Yi quietly turned around and climbed back, beckoning to a special combat member with the rank of colonel on his armband.

"Haoyi!" The colonel's special combat team member was cat, tiptoeing a few steps, crouching beside Hao Yi, and greeted him in a deep voice. He is none other than Maier, who once killed from the sea of insects with Haoyi.

Under Haoyi's acquiescence, Maier used all kinds of sophisticated equipment in the Longtan base to build the prisoners of war from Solomi under his command into an elite force with equally strong combat effectiveness. However, because they have not yet been officially incorporated into the new army of St. Prory, and the relationship between Meier and Haoyi is relatively special, their identities are also a little ambiguous. Externally, they themselves claimed that they were only Haoyi's personal guards, and they did not belong to the formation of the St. Prory New Army, nor even to the battle sequence of the Black Hawk Special Operations Force.

Perhaps it was precisely because they regarded themselves as Haoyi's personal guards that Shen Hu, the ace troops in Haoyi's hands, were unhappy, and coupled with their previous status as captive soldiers, Shen Hu was "jealous and contemptuous", and their hearts were mixed.

"Old Mai, it's about to start! Tell the brethren that after attacking the insect base, everything is about saving your own life, and don't be stupid enough to bump into those insects! Haoyi looked back at the insect base that had gradually covered the gray night below the cliff, and said to Maier in a serious voice.

"I'm X, what do you mean by a bunny? When we were three-year-olds, did we come here to play at home? Hearing this, Maier glared at Haoyi angrily and said, "Didn't you say okay, let's cover you into the hive?" Why do you want to leave your brothers behind and go it alone? Hmph, no way! Even if the brothers are all gone, Lao Tzu will be by your side every step of the way! ”

"Old Mai ......" Maier's words made Haoyi's heart suddenly surge with a warm current.
