Chapter 3: Escape

Frank and Reynolds are moving closer to the survivors on the surface of the landing planet, and there are less than fifty people left in the team of nearly a thousand people, which is not the most important thing, the fatal thing is that the transport planes that are flying towards the high altitude trajectory will be devastating to the Rangers. At this moment, Renault's eyes were almost scarlet, but fortunately he had completely lost his mind, he looked at Frank, "Maite must be alerted immediately, and those ships must be prevented from boarding." ”

"We don't have the communications equipment on us to send a signal to the Hyperion, so we'll be able to meet with CapitaLand soon, and hopefully they have the communications equipment left on the team to send a signal!" Frank said as he walked.

"That's all there is to it! Damn it! Renault gritted his teeth.

The two of them and the surviving team met at the foot of a limestone hill three minutes and forty-five seconds later. Renault looked at the decadent expressions of the rest of the team members, he was stunned, he silently counted, there were only thirty-nine.

The leader of the team of thirty-nine people was called Cade, a black man, very tall, he dragged his tired body to Frank, and said to himself, "Sir! We didn't meet your requirements and didn't hold our ground. ”

Before that, Frank had already deployed, and the reason why he only led a small team into the Worm Weave Ground Net was partly because he didn't want to attract the attention of the bugs, and the other more important reason was that he was afraid that the Zerg would attack their landing site and seize their transport planes, which he only deployed secretly and didn't tell anyone. After he entered the worm net, hundreds of men on the surface were handed over to Cade's command, and he was asked to set up a forward base at the landing site, all of which were deployed against the defense mechanism, which in Frank's opinion, should be able to hold even if the swarm attacked. Even if Zuihou is lost, he can sit on the transport plane bubble, and he also explains one thing to Cade.

"Sir! I couldn't destroy the transporter, they let the bugs take it. Cayde said in a low voice.

"What was the situation at the time? Is there anything special coming up? Frank asked, he had already guessed that it was Kelligan himself who had attacked their landing, and now, all it took was Cade's mouth to find out if it was true or not.

"There's a woman, sir! An infected human, everything is because of that infected human, and all the personnel we sent to self-destruct the transport plane died at her hands. She... It's so powerful! Cade quickly recalls the scene when the woman gave him an endless chill that still has a cold sweat on his forehead

And so it was. Franke thought to himself, and he immediately put aside these annoying thoughts and looked at Cade, "We need to contact the sky immediately, Cade, can your communication equipment still work?" ”

"I'm sorry, sir! Our signal source was destroyed in battle! Cade shook his head. After a short silence, he said, "But we can temporarily set up another high-power signal tower, and then we can contact the sky." ”

"How long will it take?" Renault hurriedly asked, time is of the essence, it has been a while since the bugs took away their spaceship.

"At least half an hour. Sir! This is still a conservative estimate, we have no more haode is the device, all may be longer. Cade said.

"It's too late!" Frank immediately dismissed the action, "I have to think of something else?" He muttered to himself.

"Something else? What's the solution? Renault looked at him. For a moment, Renault seemed to think of something, wasn't Frank a ghost agent? He can telepathically connect with Matt. Then he secretly screamed that it was not good. Renault had heard him say before that it was a very dangerous thing to use ghost energy on Char, and for this reason, Renault couldn't say anything, so he could only let him decide for himself.

Frank took a deep breath and said, "I'm here to contact Maite!" I'll telepathically inform Matt, and besides, we must part ways, as my stay in your ranks will bring a lot of biters. Frank paused and said, "That's it!" ”

"Thank you, good brother! But we don't need to separate, you can exchange your life for the lives of my brothers, and we can't fight the enemy together? Renault was so moved that he tried to stop Frank from going it alone.

"That's my brother too! Buddy! Frank laughed, "Forget it! Separation is a must, you are a reckless man's decision, I will not agree, it will be more convenient for me to act alone, and I may be dragged down by following you, so it's decided! Without Renault replying, he ran in the other direction as fast as he could.

……

"Kelly Gen! Please don't do that! Those people don't pose any threat to you and don't have any value to you! Leave them alone! Ignoring the barriers of space, the words successfully reached the mind of the transformed Blade Empress, it was Frank's voice, which he said in an almost pleading tone.

Frank didn't get any reply from Kellygan, but he didn't have time to wait for this hopeless news, and with the determination that he was already going to be exposed, he was also a bit lucky that Kellygan sent a telepathy, but he had to contact Matt now.

"Matt—!"

On the bridge of the "Hyperion" in Char's high-altitude orbit, Maite? Horner looked suspicious, he seemed to think Frank was calling him, and just as he was confused, Frank's voice sounded in his head again, "Listen, Matt! It's not an auditory hallucination, I'm Deputy Commander Frank, I'm telepathically contacting you right now, and the ground communication facilities have been destroyed. ”

"Sir!" Matthorner on the bridge looked uncertain.

"Listen, Matt! We don't have much time. Frank's voice kept flashing in his mind, "The Zerg want to attack our main fleet, let everyone be ready, ready for battle, and ready to escape at any time, the escape pods are all activated, and they will always be used when the time comes, all mobilize, immediately!" That's an order~! ”

Matt? Horner was dignified, he was dancing his ten fingers quickly on the main console, he was a little puzzled, "I didn't see any signs of the Zerg approaching us!" There were only a few of our returning transport planes. ”

"You're going back to the ship soon, and we'll talk about it in detail when you come up!" Matt said, then patted himself on the forehead, "I almost forgot, I'm not a ghost agent, so I can't get my word to him!" He tried to contact the transport plane that was approaching the ship, but there was no response, which left him confused and confused.

"Where did the transport plane go? No, damn it, you can't answer me at all! Matt! This is an order, listen to me, and never let those transports board the ship. Frank's burning, almost roaring voice echoed in his head. This confused Horner, who watched as the transporter was about to dock, didn't they know?

"Matt! We're not in the transports, listen, block the transports, block the docks, seal them all up for me, and not a single speck of dust will get out. ”

Horner was still dazed, apparently not understanding what was going on, but Maite was still doing his bidding.

For a moment, Horner stared at the screen on the main console in confusion, "That's weird. Horner muttered to himself, "To say that I overstepped my authority? Horner tapped the spotlight keypad on the main console as he said, "I can't lock down those transporters, saying I'm overstepping my authority, what the hell is going on?" ”

Frank is hiding in a hidden spot on the surface of Char, he is also anxious at the moment, the other two capital ships are fine, but the "Hyperion" is different, the wide and magnificent stairwells in it are not equipped with any doors, and it is impossible to block the floor. As soon as the Zerg entered the dock, he could drive straight into every part of the ship, and he closed his eyes and telepathically again, "No matter what you do, you can't let those transports into the dock." ”

"That's right!" Frank's eyes lit up, and he immediately closed his eyes, "Matt! I remember that the Hyperion could do an emergency subspace teleportation jump. ”

Frank knows. Captains and navigators are always very cautious in planning their subspace teleportation jumps, and they spend a long time calculating their routes beforehand. Naturally, a small mistake can throw a spacecraft thousands or even tens of thousands of light-years away from its target, or turn it upside down inside and out, or worse, not to mention that subspace jumps usually take a few hours to warm up. Jumping blindly without jihua and without preparation is completely equivalent to suicide.

"It's an order! Get ready to teleport and jump! Matt!"

"Yes, sir." Although Frank couldn't hear it, Horner said subconsciously, and then he was pounding on the keyboard as he typed the command to space jump. Frank told him his private authorization code to override the Hyperion's security mechanism, which is usually forbidden for abrupt jumping, which is crazy, but now they have no choice.

"Good luck, Mart! I hope you're still in the Kprustar Zone. This is the words of Zuihouzuihou that Frank contacted him.

"You too, sir!" Matt muttered to himself. After that, the "Hyperion" successfully entered subspace and disappeared into the high-altitude orbit of Char.

Frank, who was hidden on Char's surface, breathed a sigh of relief, at least the "Hyperion" would not be overwhelmed by the swarm. Even if it crashed into some planet, meteorite, or something like that, or jumped into a black hole, it would be better than having the Zerg kill them all on the ship, and become nutrients for the bugs or alienated combat bodies.

"Hyperion" left. He only hoped that something could be done with the remaining two battlecruisers, and the Hyperion was the only ship capable of entering the teleportation jump so quickly. The other two did not have such a powerful engine transmission. Now that the Ranger's flagship has teleported away, there is no way to take the rest of the ship with them. They would be trapped in orbit and deal with the Zerg on their own, while he was trapped on the surface of the planet, completely unable to reach them. (To be continued......)
