A metal stick sticks out of the mound and is a miniature optical detector.

The canopy was destroyed, and it was pitch black, but the glimmer of light from the Devouring Settlements could still be seen in the distance.

"There are lights in the distance, drone patrols in the sky, and there should be a man-eating colony ahead."

Cheng Hui said: "Report the point, I sniped the drone." ”

As he spoke, he picked up his rifle, put it into single-shot mode, and loaded it with sniper rounds.

Yan Yue vetoed: "No, according to the information given by the Bojiang people, it is a settlement of 100 people, with a large number of weapons, and the six of us will go to deliver food and wait for the army to assemble." ”

"It would take at least a battalion to encircle them."

One battalion, about five hundred people.

So, everyone retreated into the ground and waited for reinforcements, and after half an hour, more than 50 people came one after another.

Someone asked, "There should be someone else nearby, right?" All the people have landed in the Star Ring, there are at least 50,000 people in each city, even if most of the people haven't come in yet, it can't be just us nearby, there seem to be other supply points around, are they also waiting for people? ”

Yan Yue said: "But we don't have the means of communication, and as soon as we use electromagnetic waves, they will be detected by drones." ”

I wasn't sure if there were people around, so I didn't dare to turn on the radio communication system.

Cheng Hui patted the gun and said: "This is the best means of communication, if there are really other people nearby, as soon as the gun goes off, it will be called." ”

Yan Yuesi pondered for a while and said, "Okay, you go out with me, let's go to a distant place and shoot a shot, and if someone responds, we will establish a command channel with radio waves." ”

The two men who had taken off their exoskeletons carefully lifted the mound of dirt and slowly touched the edge of the devouring settlement.

It's about a thousand meters away.

Cheng Hui set up a gun, aimed at the village, looked for a valuable target for sniping, and then discovered the miniature nuclear power plant.

To be precise, it is a mecha more than ten meters high, and the villagers all take electricity from the mecha.

"Sergeant, did you see that too?"

Yan Yue nodded, "Rockets are waiting, there should be an automatic defense module, five rounds in burst." ”

They did not carry rockets, so they quietly returned to the tunnel and pulled a man as a gunner.

When we returned to the village, there was a fire on the opposite side of the village, and it was rockets, "It seems that we are not the only ones who are moving. ”

A terrible siren sounded, and the three of them fired a rocket at the same time, all in the same place.

The rocket broke into the warning area, and the mech automatically activated the iron sand shield, and the violent explosion tore through the water-like shield, but it was replenished in the blink of an eye.

A second rocket followed, tearing the shield through a few more openings, this time healing more slowly, and in order to defend against the three salvos just now, the mech had overloaded the energy system.

The third rocket pierced through the crack in the shield and hit the mech in the chest, and the instant explosion tore through the miniature nuclear reactor.

Subsequently, the three of them retreated backwards, intending to go back to the tunnel and put on the exoskeleton, but as soon as they left more than 30 meters, a few lasers shot at the location where the three were hiding.

In the center of the village, in the basement, Ruva the Devourer looked at the dense dots of light on the screen, very satisfied.

He said: "The natural ecology has rebelled, it has not warned us, and we have lost three war mechs in vain, and the news has been communicated to the center of the empire. ”

"Okay, it's sent, I'll just say that the technology of the Bojiang people is not easy to use, and they easily took away control."

"It's true that we haven't even found out, but fortunately the wise men of the empire have expected that the ecology has not evolved weapons, and the ecosystems on each continent are independent."

Roa operates in front of the computer, activates the village's defense system, has automatic laser cannons, has a swarm of drones...

Suddenly, the smile disappeared from his dinosaur face, and he yelled anxiously, "Go and check the nuclear power plant!" ”

It's an underground nuclear power plant that powers the village's weapons systems, and lasers are a big consumer of energy.

"Damn humans, how can you use high-dimensional technology on a village and teleport without money?"

Rowa complained as he activated the drone swarm and set out to clean up the small bugs that had broken into his home.

Hearing the alarm, the villagers grabbed their weapons and put on their alloy armor and prepared for battle.

The Devourer understands that the canopy has been destroyed, and there will probably be no support, and if he wants to live, he can only rely on himself.

Now, the humans, the Bojiang people, and the Imperial army are all fighting beneath the lithosphere, deep underground in the nanometal skeleton circle, the core area of the huge, ring-shaped devouring ship, a supercoil made of layers of superconducting material, which, when energized, can form a powerful magnetic field that can stabilize the entire devouring ship.

There's the Empire's Particle Collider Laboratory, there's a massive fusion power station, there's a myriad of manufacturing industries...

Humanity is destroying these things, and is thwarting the Empire from repairing broken coils.

The empire is at a disadvantage, and large-scale computers, nuclear power plants, etc., can be easily invaded and destroyed by humans.

The empire's forces are all in the inner ring of the core, and in the short term, it is impossible to have more troops to support the outer ring.

Civilians devour people and are worried about the future of the Empire.

The same is true of human civilization, which obviously has absolute spatial superiority, but still has to engage in a general war.

Cheng Hui put on the exoskeleton and stepped onto the battlefield.

He is a sniper, and he presses the formation behind everyone, even in the dark, he does not miss a shot.

Drones in the sky, each shot will reveal their position, and then be sniped off with precision.

More than 1,000 people poured out of the burrows, first with a round of rocket artillery bombardment, and then launched an attack on the village with a three-three system.

knocked out another drone, Cheng Hui quickly ran away, but before he could run far, three missiles hit the ground with a bang.

Cheng Hui felt a hammer in the back, and his body instantly took off and was lifted away dozens of meters.

System diagnosis: the mecha is damaged, the power system is abnormal, the left hand bone and right leg bone are broken, and the chest cavity is hemorrhage.

"Please get out of the mech and leave the battlefield as soon as possible."

Thanks to genetic modification, Cheng Hui did not faint immediately, he endured the pain and tried to call for help.

I was completely incapacitated.

"Who's going to save me, is there a medical team?"

There is no radio communication, just sound, the radio is locked and it cannot be moved.

Using radio to call for help is harming people, how fast can it devour people's missiles come? Just shot and came.

A person's voice was pitifully small on the battlefield full of artillery fire, and Cheng Hui moved his right hand with difficulty, trying to take something out of the outer pocket of the exoskeleton.

Touching a needle, even if it was iron armor in his hand, he felt it, and the injection shattered into slag.

He sighed, closed his eyes and waited for death, "Unlucky, kill three devourers, and it won't be a loss, it's higher than the average grade." ”

Seven billion people on Earth, as long as each person can kill two devourers, they can be wiped out.

This is the basic theory of total warfare.

When his consciousness gradually blurred, Cheng Hui felt that someone was coming.

Li Qian turned the body over and connected the exoskeleton's microcomputer with a data cable to read the data.

"Found it, the man-devouring missile position is at suspect point seven." He reported back to the top, and then prepared to leave.

Missiles are coming.

Cheng Hui tried his best to make a little noise: "Hey! Friend, help me! ”

Li Qian turned around and said in surprise: "None of the three missiles killed you?" It's a hard life. ”

Saying that, he wanted to carry Cheng Hui and leave here quickly.

At this moment, a laser shot out from the edge of the man-devouring village, with a range of a thousand meters, a range, a circle of 30 degrees.

Where the laser slashed, trees collapsed and set on fire, and people were cut off at the waist.

"Uh... Uhh

"You, you're so lucky..."

While he was still awake and still able to move, he took out a needle from the storage pocket of the exoskeleton of his lower body.

This is pheromones, which belong to the language of plants.

Li Qian pricked the needle on the tree beside him.

"Brother, I'm sorry..., I hurt you."

"No, if I don't come to save you, I can't escape, obviously they have completely destroyed their nuclear power plant, why can they still start the laser cannon, what is it that is negligent?"

The roots of the trees swelled and began to carry the two of them and the people around them to the tunnel.
