Chapter Eighty-Eight: Chestnuts in the Fire (3)

Intensive fire did not stop the trend of the Swarm ground forces from moving forward.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer.

Some Marines could even hear the heavy breathing of bugs in the chaotic gunfire.

Seeing that the insect swarm was about to rush into the defensive line, Qiao Shan ordered the electromagnetic cannon on the top of the transport boat to fire.

In an instant, a bloody storm was set off in the swarm.

The Marines, who had faced the swarm so closely for the first time, couldn't help but cheer when they saw this scene.

After all, the powerful sense of oppression that the dense swarm of insects was rushing towards them had already made his will hover on the verge of collapse.

After the attack of ten 100mm electromagnetic guns, the swarm retreated.

Qiao Shan understood that this was just a tentative attack by the bugs.

Looking at the weak line of defense, he was extremely anxious.

Looking back at the excavation site, the engineering personnel are stepping up the excavation, and two-thirds of the main body of the arc generator has been excavated.

"It's good that it won't be long before we can get out of this damn place." Qiao Shan breathed a sigh of relief silently.

And at this moment on the space battlefield, Qi Yiming has fallen into a bitter battle.

The gas ejected from the Corrupted Wyvern's tail propelled his massive oval-shaped body forward slowly.

After entering the fleet and entering the attack range of the Corrupt Wyverns, the oval bodies of hundreds of Corrupt Wyverns suddenly swelled, as if they were about to explode from the inside.

Then they suddenly opened their mouthparts and spewed a large amount of corrosive liquid at Qi Yiming's fleet.

Their bulging bodies quickly deflated after squirting liquid.

The fleet, which was covered with a sudden acidic liquid, suddenly panicked.

In order to reduce losses, Qi Yiming had to command the fleet to retreat slowly to avoid the area-wide attack of the swarm.

But the insect swarm did not give Qi Yiming the slightest chance to retreat, and then the flying dragon that covered the sky and the sun rushed towards the fleet.

The originally dense firepower network was suddenly torn open by the swarm.

"It's going to be bad......" By the time Qi Yiming found out that the insect swarm had broken through the firepower net, it was already a little late.

The reaction speed of the swarm was quite fast, the first wave of wyverns had not completely passed through the fire net, and the second and third waves of the swarm were already lined up behind waiting for the impact.

Wyverns swept past the fleet in droves, spraying each ship with corrosive fluid, and the outer armor of each ship was melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the inner layers of the ship.

Even with the encouragement and support of the Snow Peak, it is still a drop in the bucket.

The speed at which the armor layer was repaired was still not as fast as the corrosive fluid could destroy.

Soon there were dense holes in the hull of Wei Feng's battlecruiser, and some crew members were thrown out of the battleship.

The corpse was taken by the wyvern who swept past the battleship with a mouthpiece.

What reassured Qi Yiming was that the insects with higher individual combat power in the swarm did not join the battlefield, but kept guarding the Leviathan.

The number of individuals with higher combat power is not large, and the Zerg does not have the ability to increase individual combat power without leaving the hive.

As for the Wyvern who broke through the firepower network, the individual combat power was not high, and the fleet reorganized the formation after exiting the range covered by the corrosive liquid spewed out by the Corrupt Wyvern.

Under the dispatch of Qi Yiming, the auxiliary guns of each ship also reorganized the dense firepower network and plugged the gap.

The thousands of flying dragons that broke into the interior of the fleet were also wiped out one by one by the crossfire formed by the secondary artillery after the fleet's formation was stabilized.

But before Qi Yiming could breathe a sigh of relief, the swarm was estimated to regain once.

The fleet formation, which had just been reorganized, was once again covered with corrosive liquid.

The captains of the ships with their first experience no longer seemed flustered this time, and the follower Xuefeng slowly retreated again, not giving the swarm a chance to break through the fire net.

The swarm was much smarter than everyone thought, and abandoned this method of warfare after discovering that it could not pose a threat to the human fleet.

Instead, the faster and more protective Scout King Worm launched an attack on the fleet.

The attack method of the Scout King Bug is very simple, and the inside of its body that is hundreds of meters long is a huge cavity.

Inside the cavity there are hundreds of poisonous explosive insects.

In addition, the mother worm has specially strengthened his shell, and he can still stubbornly rush towards Qi Yiming's fleet despite being hit by several bursting lasers.

For a time, hundreds of scout king worm carriers, and thousands of poisonous explosion insects rushed up against the powerful firepower of the fleet.

Its speed was very fast, and before Qi Yiming could adjust his tactics, more than a dozen Scout King Worms flew over the friendly ship, opened his own cavity, and sprayed the internal poisonous explosion insects towards the battleship.

As soon as the poisonous blasters came into contact with the outer armor of the battleship, they exploded violently, and although the power was not great, the green liquid splattered from their bodies once again caused a lot of damage to the already damaged outer armor.

Qi Yiming watched as one of his destroyers disintegrated in an instant after being attacked by hundreds of poisonous explosive insects.

As soon as the scattered green liquid touches the floating human corpse, the corpse will instantly vaporize.

Qi Yiming looked at the friendly ships that were sinking one by one, but he couldn't help it, he had already turned on the power of the equipment on the Xuefeng to repair the armor of the friendly ships to the maximum, and he still couldn't keep up with the speed of the destruction of the swarm.

Seeing that more scout king insects broke through the firepower net and flew towards the fleet, Qi Yiming became more and more anxious.

But on the ground, Johnson is no better.

Not long after the first tentative swarm retreated, a second wave of attacks was launched.

In addition to the stinging snakes, there were also fire-breathing cockroaches among the attacking team.

They also stood on the high ground, their limbs firmly in the soft sand, and they raised their heads and spewed hot liquids into the sky.

The liquid streaked a perfect parabola across the sky, smashing accurately on the line that the Marines were struggling to support.

More than a dozen unlucky ghosts were hit by the hot liquid, and the Marines howled in pain as they watched their bodies dissolve inch by inch by the hot liquid, and then the howls came to an abrupt end.

The second wave of swarms was several times larger than the first attack, and the electromagnetic cannons on the transports were no longer able to suppress the onslaught swarms.

Hundreds of jumping insects rushed into the defense line, and the jumping insects that were more than one person tall on the front line swung their bodies wildly, knocking the already panicked marines to the ground, and then three or two jumping insects pounced on them and tore them through.

The downed Marines were torn to shreds by a few jumping insects before they could even let out a roar of pain.

"Don't even retreat...... Take a step back and everyone has to die! up!! Qiao Shan yelled, picked up the individual electromagnetic rifle and rushed forward.

As soon as everyone saw it, their superiors rushed up, how embarrassed they were to retreat, and rushed up with Qiao Shan.

After sacrificing more than thirty people, the hundreds of jumping insects that rushed into the defense line were cleared.

But before everyone could cheer, another wave of jumping insects rushed into the defensive line.

Qiao Shan decisively picked up the communicator: "Call the fleet...... Coordinates 237, 116. I request orbital weapon support!! ”

The battleship that received the request for support was the destroyer that Qi Yiming had sent to low orbit in advance and was ready to support Qiao Shan at any time.

I saw a destroyer with a hull length of more than 1,000 meters, aiming at the ground with the starboard side.

The secondary gun fired continuously after adjusting the muzzle, and then the main gun joined in.

Seconds later, a massive explosion erupted from the swarm of ground assault on the Marine front.

The first to suffer were the stinging snakes and fire-breathing cockroaches standing on the high ground.

The thick burst laser beam was like a heavenly punishment falling from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared in front of Qiao Shan along with the high ground at the foot of the insect swarm.

The larger number of jumping insects were vaporized one by one by the bursting lasers that fell from the sky.

When the blasting laser hit the ground, it also produced a powerful shockwave, blowing all the insects within 100 meters of the surrounding area into the sky, and then slammed into the ground.

Even the most powerful bugs fall from a height of hundreds of meters.

The orbital bombardment lasted for nearly a minute, and only then did it block the subsequent swarm, creating a little time for Qiao Shan and them to clear the jumping insects that rushed into the front.
