Whether it is a small insect tide composed of workers and bee insects, or the sandworms that are currently entangled with themselves, they are just low-level insects within the Zerg.

They do not have the ability to be the core of the Zerg node network, and behind all the current crises, there must be a "commander" of the Zerg.

This is determined by the structure of the Zerg, and there will never be any mistakes.

And the Zerg individuals who can be the commanders must also be extraordinary.

The praying mantis insect can only command small low-level units such as worker insects and bee insects, and the sandworm is probably not under its control.

The "commander" hiding in the shadows will most likely only be stronger than the praying mantis!

Even much tougher.

If the other party doesn't show up for a moment, Bai E's heart has not been able to settle down.

But so far, there is no fluctuation of "command" in the "will of the hive".

As long as those low-level insects have a face-to-face with humans, their desire for flesh and blood will naturally surpass everything, and they don't need detailed command at all, and Bai Er will not be able to discover the "commander" who exists in the shadows.

Of course, if that's all the enemy has to offer, it's a blessing that the commander who is hiding in the shadows is still reluctant to show up.

The six sandworms themselves are about to be wiped out, and they can immediately free up their hands to clean up the small insect tide that is still half there, and the dawn of victory is close at hand.

Although this battle was a little tougher, the final result was okay.

The corpses of the six sandworms, even if they can't be pulled all at once, it is good for the two carriers to pull one away each, which can be regarded as a perfect completion of the task.

The premise is that things really don't go awry......

Wait a minute!

Bai Er, who was smashed by a punch, was stunned, and the gray-black picture almost flashed in his mind.

"!"

Bai E turned his head to look at Song Ying on the side of the carrier, "Old Song, run!" ”

And also! More than six!

These large insects, despite their same thirst for flesh, appear to have been created by the hive for the purpose of making steel for humans.

Although the steel of human beings is hard, the mechanical structure in it is also quite fragile, and as long as one or two parts are twisted or broken, the entire creation will lose its due effect.

The sapient Hive Master knows this, so the Sandworm's sole goal is to destroy all of humanity's large steel creations.

Song Ying, who completely trusted Bai E, almost didn't think about it and frantically evacuated the surroundings of the carrier with a grenade canister after hearing Bai E's reminder.

Of course, the car is important, but the attack of the sandworm is by no means something that his flesh and blood can resist.

As long as people are still there, there is a chance for anything.

One second...... Two seconds...... Three-second ......

Song Ying, who fled, only felt that the battlefield was silent in his ears, so quiet that it seemed that only his own heartbeat was ringing alone, and time was passing bit by bit under this slow perception.

Until the earth-shattering loud bang suddenly sounded behind him-

"Boom!"

Bai E and the others' carrier vehicles even flipped up to a higher height than the teammate's carrier car just now, and then rolled to the ground.

The body of the conventional vehicle that is not built with the Yuan alloy series is completely unable to withstand such a high-intensity impact, the carriage is twisted and deformed, and the rear compartment door that was originally completely locked in Bai'er is also wide open in the impact, and most of the materials in the carriage flow out in the rolling.

Bai E smashed the last inch of the sandworm in front of him with a punch, and turned his head to sweep it over-

Eight!

A dark despair unconsciously rose from my heart.

He was not afraid of himself, but there was nothing he could do to stop the bugs from destroying vehicles and slaughtering his teammates.

I was able to escape, but ......

"More and more!"

"!"

The irritable movement easily attracted everyone's attention, and the eyes of the soldiers who were still fighting revealed a gray dead air.

Originally, even if the fight was difficult, I could still see the hope of winning in the end.

Can ...... now

A calm voice sounded on the battlefield, loud and firm, revealing an inspiring force.

"Don't be afraid, wait for backup."

Bai Er stood on top of the sandworm's head with his body raised high, and as the battle continued, the power from the skill bonus had made him have a clear understanding of the characteristics of the sandworm's opponent, and at this moment, he climbed to the top of the new sandworm when it was momentarily stunned to crash into the carrier with all its might.

If you want to speak, you have to stand on the highest place so that everyone can hear you......

Bai Er held the spikes of the carapace on the sandworm's back with one hand, and his whole body showed a sense of extremely powerful readiness, his gaze swept over the entire battlefield, and the remaining human warriors were fighting in all directions.

At this moment, what is needed is hope!

"I've solved the problem with the sensors, and the information sent to the base has informed us of our location."

"Protect yourself, the results we have achieved in this battle are good enough."

"Protect the results that belong to us, and victory will eventually belong to mankind!"

Standing tall above the insect body, Bai E's body was almost immobile compared to the insect body.

He clenched his fist with one hand and raised it high, and called out in a deep voice: "For the Empire!" ”

The soldiers' eyes were round, and their muscles were exposed, "For the Empire!" ”

["Lucky Strike" Charge +7.] 】

"Kill!" Bai Er smashed down with a punch!

"Kill!" The warriors raised their swords alof.

["Lucky Strike" Charge +7.] 】

Among the materials scattered all over the ground, the inside of the soft material was encased, and the simple assembly equipment flashed with a dazzling red light.

"Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick ~"

The red light flashes quietly, indicating that it is working.

……

"Dididi~"

The buzzer emits a slight alarm sound.

In the quiet and tense environment of the monitoring center, this unexpected sound was immediately noticed by the researcher who had been engrossed in it.

The bespectacled man with thick hair looked puzzled and muttered to himself, "Where did the signal come from?" ”

Looking at the string of messages that suddenly appeared on the monitor, the man groped the back of his head strangely.

The channels used in their reception center towers are specially processed so that the received general signals are not sent to this analysis center, which is dedicated to the study of sensors......

TM no, this is a place dedicated to receiving Internet signals!

Now even their Blackwater City has just picked up this technology again, where can the signal from other places send them to? Or even send it to the receiving center of this particular channel?

"Minister!" The researcher stood abruptly, but before him, more excited voices rang out at about the same time.

"Report to the Minister! All five lights in Team 1 are extinguished! ”

"Report to the Minister! All five lights in Team 2 are extinguished! ”

"Report to the Minister! All five lights in Team 3 were extinguished! ”

……

"Report to the Minister! All five lights in Squad 10 are extinguished! ”

All extinguished!

This astonishing bad news made all the scientific researchers in this monitoring center instantly feel a chill all over their bodies.

Under this rhythm, the voice of the researcher, who first noticed the unexpected signal, was instantly drowned.

Minister Liccock stood still, feeling the world spin.

All out?

And is it an instant?

What happened?

All the fighters who attacked died in an instant?

How is this possible!

Ten bands of warriors who had split up and acted in different areas had died en masse, and even those who had encountered the Juggernaut Giant Worm did not have such great power.

Distance is an unavoidable hurdle, and there may be many incredible things in this world, but there are always some basic rules to follow.

Rather than believing this, it is better to believe that there is some kind of force that has cut off the connection between the sensors carried by all the fighters and this receiving center in an instant.

However, who did this ability to lean more towards the tech side?

Other human forces? What other city can be faster in terms of internet technology than Blackwater, which directly unlocks the server seal?

Or ...... Bugger?

The target of the warriors' mission on this trip was the Zerg, and it was easy to be contacted by the Zerg at the first time.

Minister Liccock immediately picked up an internal liaison and wanted to contact the military region and ask them to send someone to investigate this strange incident.

Regardless of the forces, the ability to do so is worthy of their attention, and there is a need for investigation.

They haven't been able to complete their research on Internet technology, but others have the ability to intercept their internal messages?

However, the moment he took the communicator in his hand, Lycock was stunned.

The ten teams are operating in different directions, where exactly are they in the accident?

If there is no specific direction, the brigade sent by the military region can only waste time like headless flies.

For a moment, Minister Richcock remembered the strange flicker.

It is likely that the anomaly that was not thought of at the time was replaced at that time.

The fighters did not die at the same time, but simply attacked separately after being replaced with signals, not giving their base time to react.

Is this an ambush by bugs against their humans?

How did they know that humans were going to send a team to catch their new sandworms?

Of course, this doesn't really matter, low-level bugs may not have intelligence, but the fact that bugs' brainworms have intelligence is not a secret among humans, maybe the sandworms that move around are the bait they send.

The urgent task at the moment is to investigate the cause of the collective death of the fighters or the collective cutting off of information.

Just start with the spot where all the signals are flashing? Where something has happened, there are certainly traces of what will be left.

"Call up the location where their signal was flashing at that time, mark it on the map and send it to the military department." Lycock ordered in an instant.

The voice in the corner sounded hesitantly, "Ministry...... Minister...... I may have made a peculiar discovery here. ”

When all signals were cut off, the researcher really took the information he was seeing.

"I've noticed a strange signal here." The researcher stood up in a somewhat confused voice.

Minister Lycock looked over for the first time, "What? ”

"There's an unexpected signal sent to our receiver."

"Have you analyzed it?"

"It's the location, and the information is decoded exactly the same way we use it." The researcher wasn't idle in the midst of the chaos.

Minister Lycok's eyes lit up instantly, "Quickly call it out!" ”

The location information was projected on the big screen, which immediately caused an exclamation......

“…… At the junction of the two teams responsible for the area? ”

"Where's the signal?"

"How is that possible!? This is the first encrypted channel we've enabled! ”

"Maybe our fighters found out something was wrong and wanted to inform us in other ways."

Of course, the signals set up within them cannot be easily intervened by outsiders, so the signals received must have been actively linked by the fighters who found themselves cut off from the base.

I don't know how those fighters did this, but it's clear...... Among those soldiers is an elite soldier who has also trained in information technology.

"This ......" Some of the researchers were speechless for a while, and unspeakable horror rose in their hearts, and without any scientific and technological help in the field, they rubbed out a communicator that could support the use of Internet technology with their bare hands, which is what a big soldier can do?

"Leave it alone." After seeing the specific location, Minister Liccock gave another order, "Send this location to the military, our fighters are fighting alone, be sure to launch a rescue as soon as possible!" ”

"But it could also be a trap." The researcher who first discovered the anomaly offered his cautious opinion.

"Whether it's a trap or not, I believe that our warriors have found hope in a desperate situation." Richcock's eyes are firm, to survive in this world, human beings often need a little reckless courage.

“……”

A bright light flashed in Minister Liccock's heart as he spoke, and he finally opened the internal communication channel linking to the military department, "I'm Minister of Information Liccock, and I'm calling your Marshal Veslin to answer. ”

“…… Marshal, please send me a list of the fighters for this mission to capture sandworms. ”

"Huh?" There was something strange about Vesling's tone, but it wasn't a refusal.

Notifying his subordinates, he continued to ask into the communicator, "Is there anything else, minister?" ”

"Something is wrong." Liccock's tone was heavy, "All the life signals of our fighters who attacked this time have been destroyed. ”

"What!" Vesling was instantly taken aback, and every time the massive loss of fighters ...... In particular, the failure of the planned large-scale operation is like cutting flesh on him.

"But based on our observations and speculations, it seems that the signal is more like being cut off and replaced, rather than the direct death of the fighters on the front line."

As he spoke, Richcock's gaze quickly swept over the list, and he glanced at a certain name, revealing a somewhat knowing look.

'White E! ’

With him, it seems to be somewhat reasonable.

At that time, in the ruins of the root server, this kid was also the main force to help repair those broken servers.

"There were our fighters who discovered the enemy's conspiracy at the front, and he also gave the address where it was." Richcock's expression was serious, "Marshal Vesling, whether it is based on rescuing our elite warriors or discovering the enemy's abnormal technological strength, it is necessary for you to send an army to investigate. ”

"This ......," Vesling hesitated slightly.

"This is the will of our research institute." Liccock's tone was unusually stressful, "I have already submitted an application to the General Hospital, please be sure to cooperate." ”

Vesling stopped talking nonsense and responded, "Okay." ”

Hanging up the communicator, facing the puzzled gazes of his researchers, Minister Liccock smiled at them, "One of the fighters in this attack is a man I know, his name is Bai Er......"

The uncanny reliable back of the man he had traveled with all the way came to his mind.

In that desperate ancient ruin, he also decided the final victory, and now in the face of the conspiracy of the alien race, he also provided the dawn of a breakthrough for mankind.

If the newly developed Internet technology of himself and others is just an object that can be played with at will in the eyes of insects, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to them who have just started again.

It is necessary to find the core reason for the signal to be cut off this time and study countermeasures, otherwise the Internet and many supporting information technologies that they have worked so hard to restart will be in vain.

It is never hardship that makes people desperate, but the lack of a direction to strive for.

Humanity has been trapped in this dark age for too long, and must stride forward in order to regain its former glory!
