Chapter Seventy-Four: The Journey

"Hum", the roar of the engine, the metal tracks rolled over the cracked ground, the long barrel turned left and right from time to time, adjusting the direction of the shot, the heavy armored tanks rushed out of the ever-present darkness, crushing the hazy morning fog, six tanks formed a diamond-shaped array, guarding two heavy trucks in the center. On the hatch of each tank stood a high-ranking mercenary, vigilantly guarding against any suspiciousness around him.

In the heavy truck in the center, thirteen ordinary passengers have been staring at the open space behind the cabin, although now they can only see the front of the car and the tank behind, but for these nervous ordinary people with pale faces and shortness of breath, it is already an instinct to stare at the place where danger may appear.

The other thirteen ordinary mercenaries are much more relaxed, in fact, they are not at ease, after all, they have fought with insects, and they know how terrible the tide of insect swarms is, but the first thing to learn to become a mercenary is to adjust their mentality, if they are nervous, they will make mistakes, and if they make mistakes, they will die, or they will learn how to control and regulate their tension, or they will die.

They all managed to survive, so there was no tension in them, these people sat near the back door of the carriage, some squinting and half asleep, some were eating, and some were simply playing cards together. But no matter what they are doing, as soon as the vehicle slows down or jolts, these people will secretly hold their weapons in their hands, ready to go into battle at any time.

The roofs of the two heavy trucks, Shure and Mia one after the other, each occupy a high-level combat officer, the balance is much stronger than that of ordinary people, plus the roof space is so large that no matter how bumpy the vehicle is, it is difficult to affect the two of them too much.

The two of them were not as strict as the other six companions, the mountain elf sat on the front of the car with his legs sideways, the staff was leaning against his side, the palm of his right hand was open upward, and a female humanoid composed of flames twisted her waist and danced on the palm, and the movements of the humanoid were smooth and in place, which was very ornamental.

But Shure on the roof of the other car did not watch, he kept his head down, his lips open and closed, constantly whispering to the bracelet on his wrist, controlling the direction of all vehicles, the light on the bracelet kept flashing, and from time to time a mechanical female voice responded.

"Woo~~~", in the sky, two ghost fighters slashed at a low altitude, tearing the air and making a deafening noise, the ghost fighters have not entered a stealth state now, constantly hovering above everyone's heads, the streamlined fuselage, especially the two long missiles hanging under the fuselage, shimmering with metallic luster in the starlight.

The mechanized troops made their way through the bumps, leaving the human fortress far behind, and looking back, the former shelter had become hazy in the dim starlight, and only a vague shadow could be seen. Leaving the only safe place in this world of insects, people's psychology has a faint reluctance for no reason, although it has only been a few days, but most people can be sure that the experience of these days, fear, expectation, worry, and the experience of various emotions blended together, will never be forgotten in a lifetime.

"Boom", in the vague fortress, a pillar of smoke suddenly rose into the sky, and the long tail flame flew all the way up, and finally exploded in the air, exploding into a brilliant firelight, as if to send a farewell blessing to the distant Pavatiga.

The wheels rolled, the tracks turned, and the convoy went farther and farther, gradually driving into the barren plain, which was barren and barren, except for the occasional stone pillar pointing straight to the sky.

"This is the outside world, barren, dangerous, hard, but you can enjoy the freedom that people in the city can never enjoy, and we mercenaries would rather face death for this freedom. Shul held his chin and said leisurely, "You should be the first time to come to the outside world since you were created, aren't you going to come out and see for yourself?"

"Your Excellency, I have been observing the outside world all the time, including the images I have shown you, which are the result of my observations. I can understand what you mean by seeing for yourself, but I must be reminded that reconnaissance planes, weapons of war, radar scanning, and even the improvised image-acquisition device I now use are the result of my own observations. ”

"Well, it seems to be so. Shur scratched his head, and found that he couldn't refute it, so he could only say sarcastically, "Okay, then can you tell me based on the results of your own observations, whether the route I just planned is feasible?"

"Detection is underway, 13 percent has been confirmed, and 72 percent is feasible based on the route of the swarm. ”

"Very well, but what about the neighborhood? How far is the nearest bug from us?"

"Four kilometers, Your Excellency Commander, it's a transit mushroom blanket, and there are about two hundred swarms stationed there. ”

"So little?" Shuer was a little surprised, in his consciousness, the number of insect swarms was basically measured in 10,000, hundred?

"Not a lot, Your Excellency Commander, two hundred earthworms have more combat power than one standard firepower infantry squad, and our base design, the upper limit of the full strength is only two standardized infantry squads. Two infantry squads would have lost at least a third of their strength without tank support, and even battle damage could reach 50 percent, and only your specially trained team could support the insect tide for that long. ”

"Heh, after all, we're aliens. Shure shook his head with a smile, "Actually, you should be able to tell that we are not soldiers of your army, or even creatures of this world. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, you have been scanned when you first received your team, and you are not pure human beings, especially when it comes to energy structure, there is a huge gap between you and humans. ”

"Then why would you still accept us?" asked Shuer, puzzled, "not worried that we are enemies?"

"The genetic similarity is more than 98 percent, and the appearance similarity is 99 percent, which is close to the alienated human. I don't know what you mean by "our world", there is no relevant record in the data, but through vague judgment, humanoids similar to different planets can be classified as humans. In my system settings, if there is no one with the highest authority in the base, the human who fights the Zerg and is close to the base is considered the commander. ”

"Sure enough, it seems that I guessed correctly, hehe, but we are not creatures from other planets, we do not exist anywhere in this void of yours, but enter your world from another void. ”

"Parallel space, multiverse, and similar situations are not included in the system's statistics, so they do not affect the judgment results. ”

"Well, I don't understand. Shuer sighed and said with a wry smile, "But it doesn't matter, you have to go home with us anyway, although after you pass, you will probably never have a chance to start again, but at least there is a glimmer of hope, hope is the most precious thing." ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, while I must obey your orders and travel with you to the other world you speak of, I must stress once again that dismantling and removing me from the base is not the right thing to do, not only against operating procedures, but also in terms of affecting my control of the base. ”

"What's the difference?" Shure said indifferently, "Anyway, the base will be demolished by the swarm, and this world will be annihilated in a short time, whether you are in the base or not will have no effect on the outcome." ”

"It is the duty of the central control system to control the base, fight the Zerg, and protect the humans and allies, and even if the base is destroyed, I should drive until the last moment. ”

"However, your highest order is to obey the commander's orders and cooperate with the commander in carrying out the mission, that's what you said. Shuer smiled, almost like a scoundrel, "Now my order is to follow me, even if it is against your duty, you must obey, hehe, right." ”

"Yes. "Fortunately, Wei is just a program, and she has no real consciousness and no emotion, otherwise, it is estimated that the missile on the fighter plane would have been bombed down.

"So, hehe, you just accept your fate, there's no point in resisting, hahahaha. ”

"Yo Yo, that guy over there who laughs like an idiot is going crazy when he hears it. Although Moria couldn't hear what Shul was saying, and she couldn't understand what she heard, she knew that he definitely didn't say anything good, "If you have time to let out such a lewd laugh, you might as well help us detect the situation." ”

"Eleven percent of the journey has been carried out, and the results of the reconnaissance are normal, the closest main force of the Zerg to us is one hundred and twenty-three kilometers away, and the speed is fourteen. The nearest swarm patrol is composed of a low-level zerg known as the Ground Walking Worm, fifteen kilometers away from us, and a speed of thirty-eight. Shuer translated Wei's answer in a loud voice, and as he spoke, he was suddenly stunned, interrupting Wei's report, "Wait, what did you just say? The patrol is only half an hour away from us?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, the patrol force is fifteen and four kilometers away from us, and it has not entered a dangerous distance. ”

"Well, it's not dangerous now, but you have to prepare in advance, it's my bad that I didn't tell you in advance to warn me of the patrol in advance. Shuer frowned and thought for a moment, and shouted loudly, "All high-level mercenaries, focus on me, and prepare to formulate an infiltration plan, Wei, reduce the team's travel speed by half, and increase the reconnaissance density of the probes." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

"It's all here, Wei, the map, how much is the speed of the patrol, thirty-eight right, okay, all the patrols that have been detected within our thirty-eight kilometers are marked on the map, including the direction of their patrol, the habitual route, and the starting location and starting location, all the information that can be determined is marked. ”
