Chapter 10: Into the Tiger's Den
Chapter 10: Into the Tiger's Den
"Avoid them, Matt! Don't befriend them, keep an eye on them at all times, and keep an eye on them and report to me about the state of the skies! Frank communicates to Horner.
But he was thinking about something. Before that, in order to fight against bugs, he had cooperated with the Protoss several times, respectively. Sarah, to be exact, Mar. Sarah doesn't count, it's not a cooperation or an alliance, it's a unilateral salvation, or incidental salvation. It should start with the Battle of Antiga, and then the Battle of Tassanes, they have two alliances with the Protoss, the first time is fine, but the second time is not very good, the second time is purely forced by the situation, Tasada will agree, and moreover, they have lost for the first time in Tassanes, and the Zerg repelled them, although there is not much damage, but this is the truth, the first defeat since the war between the Protoss and the Zerg was in Tasanis.
The Zerg want to infect and absorb the genetic sequence of humans, and the Protoss is to stop and destroy the Zerg at all costs, yes, at all costs, in this context. This alliance was naturally contributed. What Frank was thinking about was, could the Rangers ally with the Protoss again? Or rather, to make a deal. The first time Zuihou hooked up with the Protoss was in Tassanis, then Arcturus. Ignoring the common enemy in front of him, Mengsk resolutely aimed his gun at this powerful, once-allied alien race. Mengsk's Jihua wanted to rely on the Ghost Energy Launcher to attract the Zerg army to destroy the capital star of the Federation, and the early arrival of the Protoss hindered his Jihua, so there was Kelly Root to block the Protoss.
The crux of the matter is: Does the Protoss know what's going on? Do they know the reason? Even, will they care about these? Frank was most worried about this, and from the time he communicated with Tasada's heart, he could feel that the other party's tone was obviously very unkind, and the arrogance of the Protoss, he didn't need to understand it clearly.
While he was thinking, Renault's voice came from the public communication band: "Listen! Guys. The Protoss are also here, and we know that the last time we fought with the Protoss, although we were not the parties, in the eyes of those aliens, we were no different, so we didn't know which side they would be on, and we didn't know if they would fire at us, of course, at least the Protoss wouldn't be on the side of the bugs. But one thing is for sure, if they want to wipe out the Zerg from Char, they won't care if we live or die. So, listen, if you come to the ground, if you have an encounter with the Protoss, don't take the initiative to shoot, but don't let your guard down either"
"Dude! I'll feel a lot easier if you bring the ghost agent down. Even if we fight with the Protoss, we have the strength to fight, but now, we are obviously no match for the Protoss! Renault finally sent Frank such a private signal, and Frank could only laugh speechlessly. He knew he was joking.
"Alright! Jim! I can feel your anger at the Protoss! Frank then replied.
"Yes! That's right! Renault said truthfully.
"It's all here, so it's better to be optimistic, because it's not without our benefit," Frank said. If we're lucky, the Bugs' air force will focus on the Protoss and ignore us, at least we'll greatly reduce the safety of the big ships in orbit. Hehe! Maybe the Protoss will directly blow up a big hole that leads to the Zerg master's lair. Then we can go down the hole and get her out, though it's unlikely! ”
"Matt! Keep an eye on the dynamics of the Protoss Mothership around the clock. Frank immediately contacted Horner, "Their arrival has increased many variables, we must have early warning if we have to be prepared, so as to make corresponding strategies, they are likely to use the sky of laser weapons to sweep this planet, then we have to flee back to Hyperion, wait for the smoke to clear, and the action must be fast, there must be early warning, otherwise we will die unjustly under the laser of the Protoss and still be buried for the bugs is not worth it." ”
"Roger! Sir. Horner's face was solemn, this matter was definitely quite tricky, which meant that the fate of the soldiers on the surface of Char was in the palm of his hand, and the two supreme commanders were below, which made him feel a great pressure.
Char Surface.
"Did you find the intersection?" Frank asked Manise. They also did not find any communications from the various groups.
Manise shook her head, "We still don't have any entrance, sir. How long do you plan to wait here? ”
"Wait as long as you want, corporal." Frank responded. Manise saluted, then continued to direct the team to investigate. Frank communicated to Renault: "How's going on over there?" ”
Renault soon sent a communication: "We have found the entrance to the cave, we have entered the low tunnel, the tunnel is very narrow, one person can stand comfortably and turn freely, but two can't, barely two people can squeeze together, and our team has begun to go deep into the tiger's den, and the signal may be interrupted by then." ”
Frank: "That's great news, good luck, Jim!" Also, don't forget one thing, follow the dream, that is the only 'navigator', the whole insect weaving web is a huge unimaginable labyrinth, and following the dream is the only guide"
Reynolds: "Understood! The communication is starting to get a little rough up, and if I'm still alive, then it's on the ground! ”
Frank smiled: "I don't want to have no one to share the delicious Taiping Island grapes with me."
"Damn! At least let me finish speaking, it's just a word!! Frank put his hand down on his ear, their team hadn't found the intersection yet, and the dream didn't give any indication of it.
"We found a hole, a big hole, to get into!" Finally someone shouted. Frank and the entire squad immediately moved closer to the soldier. Upon arriving at the soldier's location, Frank could already see the pitch-black pit, and indeed, it was much larger than the ones he had found before. It was at least about 5 to 6 feet in diameter, and the pile of dirt on the edge alone was a full three feet high. The overall shape is conical. The outer surface is rough and covered with volcanic ash, but the inner walls of the cave have a distinctly rocky sheen.
"This hole is big enough," Manise said at the edge of the cave, "and it seems to lead to the underground passage, which is part of the insect-woven net, and we should be able to" Suddenly, at this moment, Frank, who was standing in front of the hole, felt a chill in his back, and he subconsciously turned his head sideways, as if he was trying to avoid evil. There was a "boom", and a carrier of acidic corroded spinal needles pierced the void and roared out of the hole, and a straight path of green gas carried carried through Frank's right shoulder, which happened without warning or warning. Frank only felt that his life was hanging by a thread, and he couldn't think too much, a curved bone blade slashed at him from the inside of the hole, Frank immediately held a shotgun to block horizontally, he only felt that the curved bone blade had been attached to his body, almost piercing his flesh, Frank's strength was great, he threw it violently, and the bone blade and the short distance he immediately pulled away, rolling backwards like lightning.
Immediately after, a snake-like creature crawled out of this cave with half of its body, its head was long, the back was like an open fan, but the head was relatively small, its eyes flashed with bloody red light, as if it was burning with rage, its hideous bloody mouth was covered with upside-down canine teeth, its mouth, full of acidic and corrosive saliva permeated the two rows of teeth, like a snake's "hissing" sound from its body, and the two forelimbs inlaid with a pile of bone sickles had been posed, ready for a second attack.
A stinging snake. He had seen a lot of this kind of alien unit, and he didn't know how many to kill, but this stinging snake was obviously strengthened, because he saw that its bone scythe was not one, but two. At this moment, everyone was a little stunned, Frank reacted the fastest, when the stinger was about to launch a second round of attacks, he reversed the shotgun rifle, aimed at the head of the stinger, the bullet was loaded, and at the same time aimed at the opponent's head, and the next moment he pressed the trigger without hesitation.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three shots were fired in a row, three pinprick bullets into the head of the stinging snake, and the next moment, it let out a wail, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and Frank still aimed his gun at it, and then at the cave.
The crowd was shocked, and by the time they reacted and aimed their guns at the stinging snake, it had become a corpse, its eyes glowing like fire had dimmed to black.
Frank breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the stinging snake that died on the spot after being shot, he hoped that its death was not discovered by the swarm, because he knew that the Zerg relied on their ghostly energy to link the entire group, and the death of each bug would be sensed.
Frank looked at the marks on the firearm in his hand, the shotgun rifle was really hard enough, the bone sickle of the stinging snake was like chopping vegetables, it could easily cut through the armor of the land battle, and this shotgun rifle only showed a trace, despite this, Frank also felt that the gun should be scrapped, obviously, short-range shooting is no problem, but long-range and even ultra-long-range sniping, this gun has lost its accuracy. As a few seconds passed, he focused his gaze on Manise and the others, and began to announce the order: "The entrance has been found. We're ready to go inside. But beware, the bugs are inside, and they know the entrance. Hopefully they don't know we're here yet. ”
One by one, they jumped into the cave, with Frank taking the brunt of the attack, followed by the others, and the group plunged headlong into the darkness.
(PS: The third more is sent, which directly leads to arrears in the festival, and various supports are needed to renew, maybe there are four more!) Hehe, but don't believe it! (To be continued......)
