Chapter 13: Desperate Situation
For the brown starmen, no one knows what happened after that, not only did they not leave any video data, but no one even witnessed it with their own eyes, and the twenty-eight brown people present can only rely on imagination to fill in the gaps between the fragmentary scenes they saw.
There is no way, after all, there are too many Void Evil Spirits, and the number is still growing wildly, they have completely obscured the field of vision, satellites, ground video equipment, including the naked eye, nothing can see the specific situation through the dark curtains.
The only thing that works is hearing, and the sounds of the outside world can be heard clearly, but the people of the Brown Star would rather not set up those sound acquisition devices themselves, because listening to those sounds without seeing the outside world is a double torture.
It was the cry of the beast before it died, it was not terrible, it was not harsh, but it was full of sorrow, like a low cry in the face of death, and the cry of despair often stopped abruptly in the middle of the sound, and then came the dull impact of the body as it fell to the ground.
What you can't see is the most terrifying, the sight of the brown people has not been deprived, in fact, their protective measures are still intact, not even the first layer of defense has been breached, therefore, within a few kilometers, they can still see everything clearly, provided that there is light.
There was no sunlight, the sunlight was blocked, and the first layer of defense had been filled with void evil spirits, and not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate it, but fortunately, there was the light emitted by the barrier formed by the energy coil, illuminating everything within a few kilometers. However, all that could be seen was the interior, and beyond the barrier fell into absolute darkness, and the darkness was accompanied by the dying wails of the beast, turning into endless pressure, casting layers of shadows over the hearts of the brown stars.
The commander was short of breath, no, it should be said that all the people in the base, their breathing was getting shorter and shorter, and the situation was beyond their imagination.
When the brown star had not yet fallen, although the level of science and technology was much lower than now, the development of energy weapons was relatively perfect, especially the primitive energy shield, which could effectively defend against these monsters, and everyone once wondered why the expedition team would be wiped out under the attack of monsters.
Now they understood, because they really knew what had happened to the soldiers of the expeditionary fleet.
Tide-like monsters, swarming enemies, the plight of enemies on all sides, untouchable hope, even the most determined warriors, in the face of such despair, will collapse, they are surrounded by monsters, and we are in the same mood as we are now, even if it is only for us to see a glimmer of hope, even if we know when the monsters will stop appearing, but unfortunately we can't see it, the void evil spirit is always endless, and hope is always ethereal.
"We're safe now. The commander smiled reluctantly, trying his best to ease everyone's nervousness, "It can be seen that they can't break through our defensive circle, even if they break through the first layer, we still have the second layer, don't worry about them directly attacking our base camp." ”
Well, at least for the time being.
Most of the black shadows representing the Void Evil Spirit would turn into a wisp of black mist and dissipate in an instant under the impact of the energy once they touched the shield formed by the energy coil. However, there is still a small part of the body that they saw in the desert world, due to the excessive stacking, although some of them are neutralized by the energy shield, there are still some survivors who squeeze into the energy shield.
Of course, these fish that slipped through the net were quickly wiped out by the second layer of shields as they headed straight towards the base, and they could not pose a threat to the base, so the temporary commander could still laugh now.
However, as we all know, the problem is not that simple.
It is indeed safe for the time being, but it can be seen that the number of dark shadows between the two layers of shields is increasing, although the speed of increase is very slow, but if it continues, it won't take too long, as long as it takes a few hours, I'm afraid that the two layers will be filled with these monsters, what will happen after that, will the second layer of shields be broken through, heh, the brown star people are a little unimaginable.
"Central computer. "The commander clenched his fists, his nails almost sinking into the flesh," the ray gun is ready, and it shoots freely at the monster in the mezzanine, clearing all the enemies that enter the defensive circle as quickly as possible. ”
"Captain, the order cannot be completed. The voice of the central computer mechanization was still calm, "Due to the obstruction of obstacles, the target under the ground cannot be fired, please reset it as soon as possible." ”
The Temporary Commander's face turned pale in an instant, and the rest of the Brown Star people who heard this answer also felt as if their heartbeats had stopped for a second.
Hell, underground? Can they break into from underground? How is that possible?
The energy shield outside does have a certain defensive ability against the underground, but due to the interference of obstacles such as soil and rocks, the defensive effect is much weaker than that on the ground. This is actually not a weak point, the outer layer of the base is made of alloy, especially the part under the ground, which is much thicker, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the enemy to break through from below, the problem is, the current situation is not normal at all.
If you think about it, it makes sense, whether it is from the priest of Shur or from ancient records, everyone has heard that these monsters can ignore obstacles and pass through walls at will. Since they can pass through walls, it seems that no one is allowed to move from under the ground, damn, they have been reminded, why are they ignoring such a serious problem?
"Central computer, how many monsters are there under the ground?" the provisional commander's voice trembled slightly, "Can you identify it?"
"The number is unknown, the target is an unknown energy body, which cannot be analyzed or detected. "The number of times the inner shield has been triggered can only be counted, and so far, there have been 134,679 attacks. ”
"Heh......" The brown stars looked at each other, and instead smiled, but their smiles were full of bitterness, for them, what this number meant, there was no longer a need for the commander to explain. From the time the enemy swarmed to the present, only twenty minutes have passed, and in such a short period of time, the inner shield has been attacked 130,000 times, indicating that the outer shield has greatly reduced the defense ability of the enemy below, and the number of leaks is far more than the part on the ground.
"Fellow citizens, I'm sorry I was negligent. After being stunned for a few seconds, the commander sighed deeply, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I couldn't stick to my new home with everyone, but instead led everyone to a dead end, which disappointed everyone." This is my responsibility, I will not shirk it, and I will pay it with my life, but now, I still have the cheekiness to ask everyone to trust me for a while longer and complete the final work. ”
"Since I dared to volunteer, I didn't plan to go back alive, and I still said what to do. Nina walked over with Ryan in her arms, the two of them seemed to be a few years older, but their eyes were still firm, "What do you want us to do, let's talk." ”
"While there is still an opportunity, let's sort out the information collected during this time, especially the experience of fighting the enemy in the past twenty minutes, the more detailed the better, and send it to the fleet. The temporary commander's tone regained calm, and he said lightly, "This failure is just that we are not prepared to deal with it in time, not that there is a problem with the immigration plan itself. I believe that the immigration plan can be realized after all, although we can't see that day, but it can increase the success rate of the next attempt, and it can be regarded as not in vain. ”
There was silence in the communication channel, no one refuted, no one questioned, no one even spoke, everyone lowered their heads, focused on doing their work, and soon, a piece of information was collected into the hands of the temporary commander, each of which recorded the experience of the volunteers, detailed and detailed, full of sincerity.
"Contact the fleet. The Provisional Commander stared at the data in front of him for a moment, and finally sighed deeply, "I'll explain the situation to Archbishop Kemir and the other captains, everyone can rest." ”
But no one rested, and the remaining twenty-seven Brown Stars silently walked out of their place where they worked, gathered behind the Temporary Commander, and stood with him. Everyone's expressions were serious, but there was a hint of relaxation in their expressions, which was indifferent after embracing hope but accepting reality.
"Sand ...... Sha ...... "The interference was very serious, but in the end, Delia's image still appeared on the screen, and the girl who was originally smiling just wanted to say hello, when she saw the neatly arranged captains, and their solemn expressions, she didn't need to speak, a sense of foreboding had tightly grasped her heart, making her subconsciously hold her breath.
"Captains. Delia subconsciously took a deep breath, she knew that all the spaceship commanders were watching this image, but she didn't want to hide anything, and after being silent for a while, she asked softly, "Failed?"
"Yes, failed. The Interim Commander nodded slightly, "I don't know when the base will be breached, so we are sending the details back to the fleet in the form of a record." We don't have a chance to go back, but His Excellency Shure should be able to return, and even if the records are not complete, he can bring the rest back. Personally, I think there is no problem with the immigration plan, and I hope you can continue to stick to it. ”
"Understood. Delia took a deep look at her parents and sighed softly, "You've worked hard, so leave it to us, everyone...... Just get some rest. ”
"I'm honored to ......" The temporary commander suddenly paused, not only him, but also twenty-seven people had a strange expression, "What kind of sound is this?
