Chapter 19: Encounter with the Zerg
"Yoko, next time you encounter this situation, save your life first, don't take any more risks." Finding an opportunity, Xiong Dalin pulled Li Haoyang to teach him a lesson.
"Uncle Xiong, I see." Li Haoyang had no choice but to agree honestly.
"Uncle, have you ever been injured?"
It may be the increase in the level of the ability, or it may be that the last thrilling escape stimulated the 'induction' ability, but now the 'induction' ability is more powerful, the range of induction has become larger, and the appearance that could only be vaguely sensed before has also become clearer, Li Haoyang just tried it, and found that Xiong Dalin had a secret wound on his body.
"I joined the army before, and I was injured before I retired." Xiong Dalin explained.
Li Haoyang sensed it carefully again, and found that Xiong Dalin's strength was at least rune level, but the runes on his body were broken, and he was seriously injured, so he couldn't show any strength.
"Uncle, your previous strength was very strong, right?"
"I was a rune-level powerhouse before, and a person with an ability like you, I can fight dozens of them alone." Xiong Dalin said proudly.
It turns out that Uncle Xiong also has a glorious past!
"Uncle Xiong, how can your injuries be healed?"
Xiong Dalin thought for a while and said: "My injuries have reached the origin, even the runes are broken, it is not easy to heal it, at that time in the army, many wood and water system abilities have helped to see, they can only alleviate it, and there is no way to heal it." ”
"If you can't do it with water and wood, can you do it with other abilities, such as light?" Li Haoyang thought of it and immediately asked.
"I don't know, it's a possibility!"
"When I meet the Light Adept, I'll find a way to ask him to help you heal." Li Haoyang immediately assured.
"Hah...... Yoko, you have a heart, I don't have to pay too much attention to my injury, anyway, it's been more than 20 years, don't worry! Xiong Dalin smiled happily.
"Commander, are we going to assemble with the big army?" Dallaire was a little bored.
"The large army has encountered the Zerg and is at war with the Zerg, we will definitely be used as cannon fodder in the past, so we should try to hide it as much as possible for the time being, and find an opportunity to talk about it." Commander Meng Song is relatively conservative, and he is already very satisfied that there is no attrition in this mission, and the reward of the mission does not matter.
"Communication has been restored, Deputy Chief, Sister Lin, is that you?" Fang Jiaqing had been fiddling with the communication equipment, and suddenly there was a sound of communication being connected from inside.
"I'm Kathalien, is Jiaqing you?" The voice of Deputy Head Catherine soon came from the other side.
"Commander, commander, we can finally go back, it's the deputy commander's communication." After Fang Jiajing confirmed again, she immediately began to report the good news.
"Kesharin, you're alright!" Head Meng immediately took over the communication.
"Commander, we are all fine, how are you doing, are you injured? I heard that the large army that came down with you has been at war with the Zerg? "Catherine is very concerned about the safety of Head Meng.
"We're lucky, all of us are still there, our transport boat landed far away from the big force, and now we have found a temporary base to repair, is it the Zuo family that has solved the problem of communication obstruction between the ground and the fleet?" Head Meng replied immediately.
"The communication problem has not been solved, you have been missing for more than ten days, and I led the second echelon to come down with the large army of the Zuo family."
"You came down without being attacked?"
"No! There was a large herd of furious thunderdoves, and we avoided them and landed safely. ”
"I always feel like something is wrong?" Head Meng Song always felt that he had missed something.
"Don't worry about it for now, let's converge first, and then analyze and analyze it together." Catherine was happy, like a little girl.
"Alright! Send me your location and we'll come to you. "Commander Meng Song decided to join the deputy head of the regiment first.
Li Haoyang followed everyone and drove the mecha towards the position of the deputy head of the regiment and moved quickly.
The deputy head of the regiment, Catherine, was with the second batch of large troops, far away from Li Haoyang and them, the distance in a straight line was thousands of kilometers, and the speed of the mecha was very fast, if nothing else, it would not take a day to get together.
Head Meng took the lead and led the team in front, and Li Haoyang was also in the front position.
"Captain, stop!" Suddenly, Li Haoyang seemed to sense something.
"What's wrong?" Commander Meng didn't know why, but he still beckoned everyone to stop.
"Get out of the way, there's a lightning attack." Li Haoyang suddenly shouted.
Hearing the sound, everyone quickly found a nearby cover and hid.
Hundreds of thunderbolts attacked in the direction of the Lieyang Mercenary Group, and there was also a reminder from Li Haoyang, so everyone made preparations in advance.
After a round of attacks, the position of the Sun Mercenary Group just now seemed to have been plowed over.
"Fight back!" Captain Meng became angry and almost wiped out.
The long-range firepower of all the mechs began to attack in the direction where the thunder and lightning had just come.
There was a rustling sound in the forest, as if many animals were crawling together.
"It's a swarm, retreat." Head Meng looked at the 6-limbed insects that had already emerged and shouted.
I heard before that the first big army was fighting with the Zerg, and everyone was mentally prepared, but they didn't expect that there would be so many Zerg here.
It must have been a plasma worm that had just fired lightning, and now it was a hard beetle rushing up, followed by a group of acidified worms.
The Plasma Bug has a large belly, which is full of plasma, and is a long-range combat unit of the Zerg;
The hard beetle has black hard armor all over its body, 6 thin legs, and a long sharp horn on its head, and is very defensive, good at charging, and is one of the most common infantry of the Zerg;
The appearance of acidification insects is a bit similar to that of plasma insects, they have a big belly, their stomachs are full of acid, the corrosion ability of acid is very strong, and the outer armor of ordinary mecha will be corroded in a few minutes, fortunately, their attack distance is not far, as long as they are not close.
These are all regular combat units of the Zerg, and there is at least one female worm on the Green Thunder Star.
If the mother worm is not destroyed, then Green Thunder Star will definitely end up being turned into nutrients for the hive.
Summarizing this information, Li Haoyang seemed to understand something in his heart, but there was no time to think about it at this time, he couldn't wait to have a few more legs and run faster.
"It's not a way to run like this, and when our energy is all gone, it will only become food for the Zerg, Jiaqing, find a larger team nearby." Meng Song said as he played.
Jiaqing gave up the attack, checking the map as she ran.
"Three hundred kilometers away in front of the left, is the temporary residence of the Seventh-level Mercenary Regiment's declining royal family, they have thousands of people, and they also have devastating weapons."
"Let's turn to the left front and lead this group of Zerg to the territory of the Fallen Imperial Family." Head Meng made a decision immediately.
Everyone's mechs began to turn and drove towards the left front.
"Jiaqing, when there are still 100 kilometers to go, greet the declining royal family in advance and let them know our situation." Head Meng thought about it and explained,
"Okay!" Fang Jiaqing replied immediately.
"Uncle Bear!"
Li Haoyang, who had been running in front, found that Xiong Dalin had fallen behind.
The movement speed of the 'King Kong 17 Generation' is relatively slow, and in the case of such a rapid march, it will soon fall behind.
Li Haoyang stopped in place with a machine gun in both hands, kept attacking, and when the 'King Kong 17 Generation' caught up, he immediately put away the gun, grabbed the left hand of the 'King Kong 17 Generation' with his right hand and ran faster.
The power source of the 'Red Shadow' is more than 3 more than that of ordinary mechas, and the power is very strong, and the speed of the 'King Kong 17th Generation' is significantly faster.
"Yangzi, when these little insects catch up, you will put me down, I will kill them well, I haven't killed them for many years." Xiong Dalin said boldly, he remembered the situation when he joined the army and fought with his teammates, and the enemy was also a group of bugs.
"Uncle, if you can't run away, I'll kill insects with you." Li Haoyang didn't want to lose Uncle Xiong.
"Yoko, you are still young, and the days to come will be long, if you have the chance, you can run away by yourself, leave me alone."
"Uncle, don't say it, I won't give up on you, think about Sister Yaling, we will definitely be able to go back and see Sister Yaling again."
Li Haoyang pinched his right hand, and the two mecha were connected more tightly.
Commander Meng also ran over and kept covering.
I don't know how long it took, but a lot of missiles flew in the sky.
"Commander, it's a missile of the fallen royal family!" Fang Jiaqing shouted happily.
One after another missiles fell, one after another Zerg were lifted away, and the pressure on the Sun Mercenary Group finally began to ease.
"Turn away, away from the station of the declining royal family." Head Meng immediately reminded.
"Commander, why is that? We don't have much energy, why don't we go to the declining royal family and buy a little? Ye Xiang asked puzzled.
"We have brought trouble to the declining royal family, and when they come to their senses, they will definitely find us trouble, and if you want to buy energy from them, I guess we will leave our lives first." Head Meng immediately explained.
"They're human too, why is that?" Li Haoyang was also a little puzzled.
"Yoko, remember, don't trust other people easily outside, many people outside are interests first, we didn't bring them benefits, and we also caused losses to them, how could they let us go, even if they let us go, then they will definitely find losses from us."
"I see."
Commander Meng's words touched several mercenary newcomers deeply.
Underground, at a depth of I don't know how many meters, there is a large cave.
The cave is occupied by all kinds of zergs, and in the innermost part of the cave, a huge female worm keeps eating and laying eggs;
Not far from the mother, a milky white light cocoon beats like a heart, this light cocoon has many guards, and is basically surrounded by golden beetles.
One larvae after another crawled out of the hole, and by the time they reached the ground, they had grown into half-adults about half a meter;
Some of these zergs immediately evolved wings and flew into the distance, while the rest also ran quickly into the distance.
There were also some Zerg returning from outside, all of them carrying some loot, and among those loot there were even some intact human corpses.
Some of the loot went into the mother's belly, but more of the loot was sent into the light cocoon, and white tentacles stretched out from the light cocoon, winding these trophies into the light cocoon.
At the very back of the light cocoon was the corpse of a black leopard-like monster and a naked human female corpse.
As the light cocoon kept beating, the human female corpse seemed to have a heartbeat.
