Chapter 19: The Wrath of the Swarm

Blazing crater area.

The Expeditionary Force's ground forces established a temporary forward base in a relatively stable area on the flank of the volcano.

At the entrance of the base, a tall license plate was erected, the slogan "World Comprehensive Scientific Research Station" was very eye-catching, and three anti-aircraft towers, two temporary defensive bunkers and a high-platform watchtower were set up at both ends of the entrance, and two marines were standing at the entrance.

At this moment, a large number of construction vehicles are coming in and out at the entrance, these vehicles are full of crystal ore collected from the surface of the planet, and there are a large number of open-pit crystal ores on the back of the volcano.

"Wait! Was it an earthquake? ”

"Damn, didn't those engineers say that the geological structure in this area is the most stable?"

The two Marines guarding the entrance to the base could feel the vibrations of the earth, and one of them cursed at the technical engineers.

The other Marine was stunned and looked down at the surface.

Cracks suddenly appeared in the hard rock foundation.

"Damn it!" He cursed under his breath.

Jump!

In an instant, the ground he was stepping on, the rock suddenly shattered, a huge shadow drilled out of the ground, and the marines were mercilessly thrown into the sky dozens of meters high, and finally fell to pieces, followed by a roar of a beast, a thunderous roar echoed over the entire base.

The other Marine was stunned, staring at the pillar dozens of meters high and slowly retracting into the ground, finally leaving a small section exposed to the ground.

The sharp barbs of the tunnel worm brain are like a drilling rig, and the barbs that are several times harder than stainless steel can easily penetrate the rock, only to see the barbs crack at both ends. The Marines saw a huge hole, and the next moment, insects poured out like a tidal wave.

Before the Marines could react, they were overwhelmed with bugs!

Standing on a high ground with a wide field of vision ten kilometers away, Frank shortened the distance with the help of goggles, and clearly saw the process of the insect swarm raiding the "World Comprehensive Scientific Research Station", and thousands of insects concentrated their fire on this base, which turned into a real slaughter scene without warning from human beings.

Countless bugs poured into the base, from soldiers to tech engineers.

Kellygan's forces destroyed the forward base in a lightning attack on humans. Immediately after that, several tunnel worms broke through the ground, and more and more insect swarms appeared in the area of the blazing crater, and after the insect swarm wiped out the human forces, they immediately attacked the swarm nest on the back of the volcano.

Suddenly, an afterimage passed through the sky, and a flying machine flew at an ultra-low altitude, passing over his head, not very fast.

Frank was shocked when he saw this, because the flying machine was all too familiar.

Passing overhead was none other than Zeratul's Void Seekers.

"Not good! Zeratul must have gone to Kellygan! Frank was pretty sure that Zeratul must have come to Char for Rushgarh.

He immediately launched the mirror displacement. Chase after the Void Seekers.

"Zeratul! It's me, Frank! Can I receive a signal? ”

Aboard the Void Seekers.

Silence, and even a slightly angry look, is the emotion that Zeratul is currently showing outward, the patriarch Rushgarh is missing. Zeratul, who had left Shakulas earlier, was shocked to receive the news from the Council of Light and Shadow, and was immediately informed by the Council that Lashgarh was likely to be kidnapped by the Empress of Blades.

Suddenly. Frank's familiar voice on the ship sent him stunned.

"Old friends? How did you get in Charl? Zeratul looked at the film in surprise.

"Stop, I have something to say to you, Zeratul." Frank whispered in the comms.

Soon. The Void Seekers slowed down and came to a halt somewhere on the ground, and Frank quickly caught up.

I saw that on the empty ground, the Void Seeker hovered silently in mid-air, and Frank's figure soon appeared below the aircraft, and after a while, a gray mist surged, and Zeratul appeared.

"Old friend, I heard that you are in captivity, and it is good news to see that you are safe and sound." Zeratul walked up to Frank and said.

"How did you end up in Char?" After a moment, Zeratul asked again.

"It's hard to put into words." Frank sighed lightly, he shifted the subject and looked at the other party, "You're here for Mashgarh Patriarch!" Is that right? ”

"How do you know?" Zeratul looked at the other in surprise, obviously, this surprised him very much.

"Because I've seen your patriarch!" Frank uttered a word that shocked the other party again.

"What did you say?" Zeratul's eyes widened, and he couldn't take his eyes off the other.

"I met her in Kelligan's lair, and," Frank hesitated for a moment, but said anyway, "There's a good chance that Clan Rushgarh is infected!" ”

This news was like a bolt from the blue for Zeratul, and he said in disbelief: "This is impossible, if she dares to do this, I will never forgive her!" ”

Without waiting for Frank to answer, Zeratul suddenly disappeared without a trace, and after a while, the Void Seeker sped away in an instant, and Frank looked ahead with a complicated gaze. Obviously, this news was unacceptable to Zeratul, and he wanted to warn the other party, but he didn't expect Zeratul, who had always been calm, to react like this after learning the news, almost losing his mind and not listening to any words.

At that moment, his communicator suddenly rang, and an intermittent signal came in, which was from the Rangers' only encrypted communication band.

"Frank? Roger that. Answer me!. I. Jim! ”

The familiar voice was Renault, and Frank couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart, this old fellow was indeed a trusted and dear friend. First Keha, and then at this moment, even though he knew that Char was currently the land of the Longtan Tiger's Den, he still came, "Received!" Where are you? ”

"Is it really you? You're alive? ”

"Yes, I'm alive!"

"Haha~~ I knew that you guy's life was very hard, and when I heard your voice, my uneasy heart could finally be calmed, you know? I thought you were forgotten by her, so you should leave her alone. The signal shows that you are on the surface of Char, but I can't turn on the scanning device to locate your coordinates accurately, scanning the radar signal wave will reveal our location, it's not calm here, the outer orbit is almost everywhere with bugs fighting Gerald's fleet in the heat! ”

"My current position is: 25 East longitude. 62, 73 north latitude. 1112。 ”

"Stay there, the transport plane has already departed, but it will take a little time, and the ship must evade the other side's detection. Fortunately, the Earth Federation is fighting the bugs, otherwise our spaceship really wouldn't be able to quietly enter the surface of the planet, see you in forty minutes, man, there's one last bottle of Taiping Island wine left, your favorite, you know. ”

"Thank you!"

After the communication ended, Frank's eyes looked in the direction of the Dead Trench, and after a long sigh, he entered the shadow stealth state again.
