Chapter 43: The Clash of the Assassins (Part II)
(Ask for recommendation!Collection!)
This is a naked conspiracy of the Zerg!
For more than ten days in a row, a large number of insects have been ruthlessly slaughtered by the "ghosts", is there so many insects that they must come out to die? Of course not.
After today's attack on the Qingjiang base, a second, more violent attack arrived when the ghost team had already boarded the plane and was about to leave. Are the bugs stupid, or the little bit impatient? Of course not.
didn't let the ghost participate in the battle for the first time, and the base defenders were in a hurry, and didn't let the ghost leave, this time point was too accurate. The Airborne Troops and the Tunnel Worm Teleportation Force were dealt with by the "ghosts" one after another, and when Kai Ruigan and the others were exhausted and their spirits were a little relaxed, the death blow began.
If this is a coincidence, it is pure nonsense, where in the world is there such a coincidence.
The swarm seems to know everything. Send troops, send soldiers, let you kill physically and mentally exhausted. Even send the pit worms to you to kill. The sky, the ground, the underground, almost every way of attack that humans can think of appeared at the same time. The moment you slackened, and at that moment, the long-planned attack began. These "assassins" have been hiding under the water of Qingjiang behind the base, and they erupted at the moment when the tunnel worm fell, and the timing was almost exactly right, and they were sure to kill each other.
In human sources, the Zerg have always disliked water, and although water is the source of life, the Zerg will always live in dry and hot places, or dry and cold places. If there is such a beautiful and scenic planet, then they will never have any nostalgia to turn it into a half-dead star. Therefore, when humans defend against the Zerg, they basically do not consider the side with water, as if no bug has ever appeared from underwater. But this time, the attack of the Zerg actually came from underwater, they are not only not afraid of water, but also very good at swimming.
In fact, this is all a misunderstanding of human beings, and not all insects don't like water, and these stinging snakes are good swimmers. It's just that although this high-level class is hideous and terrifying, and its attack power is terrifying, his seemingly unbreakable armor is actually a kind of intimidation mimic, and in fact they are very fragile. Because they are fragile and "expensive", they are always heavily protected. If they go into the water, then other Zerg creatures that don't like swimming will no longer be able to protect them. Because of this, the part of the stinging snake that can swim is omitted from the staff department's information.
And this premeditated attack completely took advantage of the "misunderstanding" of other races about them, and it can also be said that the mistake of the human race, which was basically undefended on the waterfront side, was caught by the Zerg. Even the location where the tunnel worms appeared was very close to Qingjiang, and the alien insects spit out from it all rushed to the side away from Qingjiang, so the side of Linjiang became the weakest point of the Zerg troops, almost in a state of non-defense. With the strategic position of the tunnel worms in the war, if there are ghost agents in the Qingjiang base who are high-end combat power, they must give priority to dealing with the tunnel worms, and the best ambush location is on their backs, by the river. Another important factor is the weather, from the early morning when the insects launched the first attack, Qingjiang and the surrounding area was foggy, although the second attack began, the fog had dissipated a lot, but it rained again, and the visibility was not high, so it provided a good cover for this attack.
It can be said that the commander of this Zerg unit has been shrewd to the extreme, and his psychological tactics are not lost to the strategic staff of the human race at all. Apparently, it succeeded, ambushed in the first round, one "ghost", two were injured. The state of the others is also extremely poor, the most important thing is that the base defenders are too busy to take care of themselves, and the ghost team has fallen into a dead end and has no power to return to the sky.
However, there is one thing that the bugs did not expect, that is, behind this 6-person ghost squad, there has always been a squad that has been low-key and hidden, and in many battles, this squad has barely participated in the attack sequence, making the Zerg ignore this 14-person squad that seems to be just a logistical support. The long-planned attack brought down only a tired ghost agent, and all other attacks were in vain. Due to the angle, the other ghosts were not immediately attacked, and after being alerted by Kerrigan, they reacted quickly and fell to the ground, while the Blue Cat Team members also held their alloy shields in front of them.
The poisoned arrow shot at Kai Ruigan was almost killed by mistake due to the movement of Zhang Wen's body, but was blocked by Kai Ruigan's unpredictable prophet, and by the way, he also kicked Neri, who was in a daze next to him, out of the dangerous position.
Nelly, already like a little leopard rushing madly towards Kai Ruigan, this woman actually dared to kick her ass, and the strength was so great, it was enough to have a thousand catties, three or four hundred kilograms of mecha and equipment were kicked four or five meters with her, almost kicking her waist off. Although he had heard Kerrigan's warning of an enemy attack and understood that this was to save her, with such great strength, it was obvious that he was taking revenge on her.
Can Nelly's revenge be realized? Of course not, the second round of attacks has arrived, and Zhang Wen can't let her have an accident. With Zhang Wen's understanding of her, when she was kicked out by Kerry Gan, she had already rushed over. He was right, Nelly didn't delay even a second, as soon as the person landed, he supported the ground with one hand, a side flip, already soared into the air, turned over and rushed towards Kerrigan, and even the muzzle of the gun had been turned to Kerrigan who was hiding behind cover, and his fingers were on the trigger and ready to fire at any time. Of course, Zhang Wen knew that Nelly was not the kind of person in Sisthics, but if she didn't retaliate fiercely, it wouldn't be her.
In the end, Nelly was hugged by Zhang Wen and pressed under her...... , made her little face red, and the little rabbit ran into a mess and lost her strength, but the anger immediately came up again, because she found that Kerrigan continued to hide behind the cover and wait for the opportunity as if she didn't see her angry at all, which was completely ignored.
After a second round of attacks from the enemy, the ghost's counterattack begins. Ghost agents have never been vegetarians, especially the team led by Kerrigan, who will never just be beaten or flinched.
But...... , The counterattack did not have a good effect, and the ghosts who have always been hit by a hundred shots, the first round of attacks actually returned in vain.
The battle became strange, fierce and silent, the number of the two warring sides was not large, they were shooting at each other from a kilometer away, but the dangerous aura they emitted covered a radius of more than five kilometers, whether it was the other Zerg who participated in the attack, or the human soldiers defending in the base were affected by the terrifying aura and did not dare to approach. The wounded Ghost Agent was escorted to cover by the Blue Cat team for treatment, while Kerrigan and four other team members fought back favorably, but their ranged sniping was not very effective here. Far more cunning than any of the creatures the Blue Cat squad encounters, the enemy moves quickly, constantly searching for cover, and then giving Kerrigan and the others a favorable counterattack.
Zhang Wen, who had come to his senses, pulled Nelly to crawl to the back of the building, and after making sure that none of the team members were injured, he had a chance to observe the creature called the stinging snake in detail.
The stinging snake is 5 meters tall, the lower body is a snake, but the upper body has limbs, and the entire upper body is covered by a long strip of armor about ten centimeters wide. Compared to its semi-degraded "cute claws", its snake-like lizard-like giant mouth divided into four petals is particularly terrifying. The cold eyes that glow purple make people feel cold from their heads to the soles of their feet at the first glance.
If the jumping worm is a bloodthirsty monster and the cockroach is a terrifying demon, then the stinging snake in front of you is a combination of a cunning poisonous snake and a cold-blooded demon king. Not only are they terrifying in appearance, but their attack power and attack speed are even more terrifying. As long as it finds an opportunity, its body will swing rapidly, and the armor on its chest will move in waves, and with the vibration of its head, it will keep spitting out sharp arrows that look like fish bones from somewhere. The rate of fire is comparable to that of the C-14 automatic rifles, and the frightening thing is that they can shoot through the reinforced individual alloy shields carried by the Blue Cats from a distance of nearly two kilometers.
Kai Ruigan had already introduced the composition of the swarm to Zhang Wen and the others, especially mentioning these cold-blooded killers called stinging snakes. When Kerrigan spoke, the other ghost agents had a slight fear on their faces, as if these creatures were their nemesis. At that time, the people of the Blue Cat Squad still didn't think so, after all, they had seen the ghost agents kill special insects, and they had made many recent achievements, so they would never feel that there were any creatures that could not be solved by humans, especially ghost agents.
But this experience scared everyone so much that they were holding a high-grade alloy shield made of the same material as the outer armor of a battlecruiser. The 8-centimeter-thick shield was shot through so easily, and the attack came silently, like a C-10 canister sniper rifle with a silencer. And what frightened them the most was that the 30 cm long and 6 cm wide arrow that was only left on the shield at the end did not take long to fall by itself, and the invincible alloy shield actually left a hole with a diameter of 6 cm, and it was still expanding. It can be seen how powerful the poison on this thorn is, and even the alloy shield has been melted by the poison. It's hard to imagine that the ghost agent who was shot in the right chest still has a few lives.
There were only 10 stinging snakes that attacked, but they cooperated very tacitly, some hiding behind rocks, some hiding in the water, and splitting into two waves when attacking. As soon as someone is locked by a ghost agent, he immediately hides. Some took cover, and some blocked and shot the outcropping ghost agents, cooperating like a person. And as if they have the perspective of a god, when there is a movement on the human side, they will react accordingly. As a result, the battle time has been delayed indefinitely. The Stinging Snake has a god-like perspective and sense of cooperation, and its attack power is not only not weak, but it is superior to ordinary ghost agents and has a numerical advantage, so Kerrigan and the others are obviously the weaker side.
What to do?
Kairigan and the others were already at the end of their crossbows, and waiting for support was almost unrealizable, and the defenders of the base were too busy to take care of themselves, and it was too late for further support to arrive.
Besides, the support of the Zerg is definitely one of the fastest races in the universe, and cystechinodes are constantly falling from the sky, and the strength of human beings is far from enough.
"Zhang Wen, take your people to outflank them, and if you drag them down, there may be a more difficult enemy to deal with. ”
"Yes. ”
Although Zhang Wen is also brave and strategic, when he can see the enemy who cannot be opposed, he is somewhat panicked, and he can't help at all.
In fact, the top leader of the Blue Cat team should be Nelly, but Nelly has not directly participated in battles since she entered Tasannis, and her actual combat experience is slightly insufficient, so she did not take over the command after she followed the Blue Cat. At this time, her horror of the stinging snake was not as deep as Zhang Wen and the others, after all, she didn't feel the gap between the stinging snake and other zerg troops, plus she was kicked hard by Kai Ruigan just now, so she didn't want to pay attention to Kai Ruigan's order at all.
A few minutes later, the flank encirclement of the Blue Cats team did a miracle. In addition to the medics, the remaining 12 people were divided into two groups and surrounded the stinging snake from both sides. In the case of taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he succeeded in one fell swoop, two were killed and one was injured, and 10 stinging snakes went to three in an instant. The human side finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Stingers are cunning, but not invincible, and their main target is the Ghost Agents, still ignoring the "logistics team" as before. The stinging snake unit itself is notoriously crispy, and compared to cockroaches with rough skin and thick flesh, they can be said to break with a single poke. With a calculus or unintentional, the blue cat team quietly touched it from both sides, and when the stinging snake showed its head, there was a sudden round of fire, even if the stinging snake was cunning, it was instantly caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
"The Blue Cat Squad, stick to the spot, fire support, and cooperate with me to strangle the stinging snake. "Kerrigan's order was given again.
"Hmph, is it time to reap the fruits of victory?" Nelly muttered quietly, I don't know if I had forgotten, the communicator was actually turned on, so that everyone could hear it.
The others were silent, and in the last few days, Nelly had not spoken like this for the first time, always consciously or unintentionally aimed at Kerrigan, although every time she touched a gray nose.
Zhang Wen felt a little big, when was this time, and he still had to brush the child's temper, and the woman's thoughts were really incomprehensible. However, Kerrigan's favorable riposte did not appear, and her whole person disappeared silently.
That's right, it did disappear, like air, out of thin air.
