Chapter 197: Kill
For the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, the 177 squad was surrounded by more than 100,000 insects, and now they have fought their way out of the encirclement, but they can still not lose a single person and not hurt a single person. This has to be said to be a miracle. Everyone knew very well who brought the miracle, and everyone turned to Xiao Ming and Remidios to hear their next plan.
Xiao Ming glanced at Remidios, thought for a while, and said: "Let's start from here, if the speed is fast enough, we can leave this area before the insects block us in the passage again, if I am not miscalculated, as long as we go ten kilometers to the east, we can find a relatively safe exit, which should be the location of the elite team 45, as long as we meet them, ours will be safe." And on the way, we can try to contact the headquarters, tell them about the situation, and then let them go in and bomb. Since the mother worm is likely to be here, the worm will not be able to leave here for a short time!"
The mother worm moves very slowly, and the most important thing is that it does not mean that it can move by moving, the mother worm has the characteristics of half of the plant, and after choosing a good position, it will directly penetrate its own tissue structure into the surrounding area, absorbing the energy of the surrounding earth, so as to speed up production and hatching.
This energy gives the mother worm an extremely terrifying reproductive ability, but it also considerably reduces the mother's ability to move, and it takes at least 24 hours for each root and root movement. If it is too fast, it will only cause great damage to the mother, especially when withdrawing, and if it is too fast, it will even cause irreversible damage to the mother.
In other words, even if the mother worm starts to withdraw from now, it will take 24 hours to complete the withdrawal and leave. As long as it is during this time, 177 contacts headquarters. Then a surface-to-air bomber can bomb in ten minutes.
There is no specific goal. Naturally, there is no way to take the bugs, but once there is a relatively accurate target, then the ground-penetrating bomb can directly blow up the bugs from a thousand meters underground.
So the goal now is to kill it.
Of course, there is also a worry, that is, the worm mother has already begun to withdraw before this, and when they launched the operation against Xiao Ming, they had actually completed the withdrawal, and only then did they attack Team 177. Let humans mistakenly think that there is a mother worm here, and after the bombardment, humans will let down their vigilance here, and then the plot of the worms will be considered successful.
This is not unheard of in history, but it is rare, so little that only historians can remember it.
"Alright, let's go now!" said Podore laughing. The feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made him, a calm man, a little unable to suppress his excitement.
Remidios didn't move, and said lightly: "Xiao Ming, you go out with everyone, and I'll press the formation behind." Now we've gone deep into the ground, if the bugs just collapse the passage. Even if it's you, it's impossible to leave with everyone!"
Xiao Ming's eyes froze, frowned slightly, and then nodded.
Bodol looked at Xiao Ming, then at Remidios, and suddenly said, "You have something to hide from us." If I'm not mistaken, you're going to leave us halfway through and do something on your own, right? Could it be that the mother worm might be transferred?"
Podol is a veteran warrior, and neither Xiao Ming nor Remidios are the kind of people who are good at disguising their expressions.
If you were a little darker, you might think that Xiao Ming and Remidios would calculate 177, but Podor wouldn't think so. 177 was saved by Xiao Ming and Remidios, and they didn't need to count 177's people at all. What's more, Podol believed in his eyes, believed in his instincts, and he definitely didn't believe that Xiao Ming and Remidios were such people.
The warriors of 177 stood still when they heard what Podol said.
"Xiao Ming, just say something, is it possible that at this point, aren't we comrades who live and die together?"
"Yes, yes, no matter what the danger, we 177 are one. We won't agree to risk such a thing alone!" said the cannon.
"But if you follow us, we have a good chance of surviving, but you are dead!" Remidios spoke, "and if you leave, you have an eighty percent chance of surviving!"
"Haha, we've lived to this point to find it. In that scene just now, even if those guys came in a mess, there would be no life or death. If we can escape, we have already earned it!" Xiao Feng laughed.
The warriors laughed in unison.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on. Podol said earnestly.
Xiao Ming and Remidios glanced at each other, and finally Xiao Ming said: "We have already sensed the position of the worm mother, which is no more than three thousand meters away from us in a straight line, and it is certain that the worm mother will have the ability to move within two hours at the slowest at the earliest, so as long as we leave here, the worm mother will definitely escape, and the bombing will not be successful!"
Everyone was stunned, and no one asked Xiao Ming and Remidios how they knew. They don't need to ask, they just need to believe.
"Artillery, how much more heavy firepower do we have?" said Podor.
"And a flash of light!" said the cannon.
A flash of light is actually a small energy nuclear bomb. Using the new nuclear fusion reaction, it does not leave any radiation, but it is more than thousands of times more powerful than the original nuclear bomb. Every mobile unit goes out with a flash of light, the core of which is only the size of a soybean, but it can destroy everything in a diameter of 500 meters. This thing is generally not used to exterminate insects, but to die together.
None of the warriors wants to be food for bugs. Many fighters have a self-destruct program in their power armor, which will explode once they are bound to die. Before the entire team goes out, they will also bring a flashlight, and if they find that the entire team is going to die, then the flashlight will be activated.
If it weren't for Xiao Ming and Remidios just now, then 177 would definitely have only one way to start the flash.
"That's it!" Podol didn't even need to ask everyone's opinions, he clapped his hands and looked at Xiao Ming and Remidios: "Lead the way." Let's go kill the mother worm!"
"It's done. Now that it's been discovered. You can't let go of that worm mother. It sent bugs to besiege us just now, and now it's time for us to surprise it!"
"Yes, even if we're all hung up, it's worth it to kill one worm mother. And isn't it that Xiao Ming and Remidios will definitely survive, and then we will be famous at 177, hahaha, we can be more famous than a group of grandchildren, those grandchildren are capable. I haven't seen them kill a worm mother!"
No one is timid, no one wants to back down, humans have been at war with bugs for thousands of years. From the darkest three hundred years of the Dark Age of the Star Beasts, the hatred between humans and insects can only be resolved by the complete death of one of the races.
Hatred is the only melody between humans and insects. Even if there are some human traitors who have taken refuge in the bugs, even if some human scum choose to give up resistance and get by. But more people, like the fighters of the 177 squad.
They are ordinary, they are not great, their strength is limited. But when the horn of war between humans and insects sounded, they stood up without hesitation. With their bones and blood. Pave the way for peace and tranquility for all mankind.
"Stop struggling, you can't get rid of us. If you hesitate any longer, the worm mother will run away!" Oyin patted Xiao Ming's shoulder proudly and laughed.
Xiao Ming felt that his eyes were a little wet: "You will die! and I won't, Remidios won't!"
"Nonsense, who of you are dead to tell our heroic deeds? To live, to live!" said the big mouth.
Xiao Ming took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Okay, let's go kill the worm mother!"
"the worm mother!" the warriors promised in unison.
Everyone adjusted their state, suppressed their excitement and excitement, and once again turned into indifferent warriors. Everyone in Team 177 followed Xiao Ming and Remidios and silently entered the depths of the worm path.
The whole worm path is intricate and twisted, and even a holographic scan can make people dizzy. But Xiao Ming and Remidios cooperated, but they could easily find the shortest path - Xiao Ming was responsible for a large-scale search, and once there was a fork in the road that Xiao Ming couldn't be sure of, Remidios would point out a way, and the path she pointed out would definitely not be wrong.
The warriors of 177 didn't know how Xiao Ming and Remidios did it, and they wouldn't think about it, because they believed that the two of them had that time to ponder, so it was better to think about how to recover their strength. The power armor has been turned on silent mode, and Tianxun has also turned off after sending the last signal to the headquarters.
The warriors of 177 had no intention of returning to the surface alive, they had only one purpose in mind, and that was to die, and to pull the light in front of the worm mother.
True heroes often don't think about becoming heroes until the moment they become heroes.
In a normal timeline, the Queen of Time, who reversed the entire Battle of Ponandel, was so. The same is true of the current 177 squad. Perhaps the only thought on their minds was to kill the bugs - if only they could pull a few more pads.
With the cooperation of Xiao Ming and Remidios, Team 177 successfully avoided the underground patrol to search for their bugs, and it is estimated that the bugs did not expect that there would be such a group of perverted humans who played more than them underground. Maybe when these bugs finally die, they won't understand that fighting a G-class legendary time powerhouse is already doomed before the war begins.
An hour later, the warriors of 177 were completely dizzy, they couldn't remember how many holes they had drilled into the ground, how many bends they had made, but Xiao Ming and Remidios had not hesitated at all, and in their eyes, the goal was extremely clear from the beginning.
After walking for another half an hour, his eyes suddenly opened up, and Xiao Ming and Remidios, who were in the front, stopped instantly and made silent gestures.
All the warriors kept their movements and did not dare to move.
Xiao Ming released a miniature scout robot, and then gestured for everyone to retreat.
It was only after retreating for more than 300 meters that it stopped again.
Under Xiao Ming's signal, Big Mouth opened the light curtain of the scanning system.
A light came into the eyes of the people.
It was not sunlight, but the light of the underground energy mine, and among these lights, there were too many shadows to make people's scalps tingle—those shadows were all insect eggs, absorbing the energy of the energy mine. Eggs that hatch at an accelerated pace.
An energy bonanza has been completely pierced. The entire energy mining area. It's been completely turned into a bug hatchery.
"It seems that we are wrong again, the worms will not give up here easily!" Xiao Ming sighed. I thought that the bugs would run away in two hours, but now it seems that this is impossible, because the bugs will not give up this place.
But if this is the case, why do the bugs attack Team 177? If the bugs don't act, then even Xiao Ming can't find the swarm of insects hidden more than 1,000 meters underground, as long as Team 177 kills one or two hundred insects above. will leave, and the secrets here will not be discovered.
Why do bugs run amore?
Is there some misunderstanding in this? Or is there something else that irritates the bugs?
"Don't think about anything else, think about how to kill these eggs, you must not let these eggs hatch, otherwise Sinowei will become a big battlefield again. The idiots above thought that the main force of Sinove's bugs had been wiped out, but they didn't know that the real main force of the bugs was hidden here!" Podol sighed.
The eggs here are more than a million as far as 177 can be seen. And how many can't be seen?
The Puda region was originally a bonanza. The whole region is rich in production capacity mines. Since the bugs can make use of all the energy mines here, will the bugs still let go of this area?
"We're two thousand seven hundred meters underground now, this distance. Even if it's a satellite positioning scan, it's impossible to scan!" Xiao Ming said.
Everyone sighed in unison. Compared to the ability to make holes. Humans really can't compare to bugs.
"Our flash of light can't kill all the bugs here!" said the cannon with some concern, "The range of the flash is only five hundred meters in diameter, and I don't know how big it is here." Even if the power is doubled underground, the diameter of two thousand meters is the largest, but do you think that less than two kilometers is all of it?"
Everyone sighed in unison, what should we do? Seeing so many insect eggs and not being able to kill them all is even more uncomfortable than killing these warriors.
"You have a way!" Remidios suddenly looked at Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, how could he not know that he had a way?
"You have a way!" said Remidios, affirmatively.
Xiao Ming understood that the other party must have seen the result directly through the time ability, so he was so sure, but what was the solution? Xiao Ming lowered his head and pondered, no one else dared to disturb him, just quietly guarded the surroundings, so as not to suddenly have any accidents caused by insects.
Xiao Ming didn't let everyone wait long, and finally figured it out.
Soul Formula!
Since the big plate can instantly launch a soul devouring technique that covers the entire airspace, directly devouring the souls of living insects, then Xiao Ming can also theoretically do it. Moreover, the soul power of the insect eggs is even lower than that of the insects, and more importantly, these insect eggs are all connected together, Xiao Ming does not even need to cover all the insect eggs, only needs to cover a certain range, and then devour them through the connection network of the insect eggs themselves.
The only question is whether Xiao Ming can do this.
This is not something that can be done by simply devouring souls, it must be fused with the Soul Melting Technique and the Soul Killing Technique to work.
Can it be successful?
Xiao Ming's gaze swept towards everyone, and finally became extremely determined.
It will work!
Because he has no capital to fail.
"I have a way!" Xiao Ming said, already deciding on the next action.
"How long will it take?" said Podol, asking nothing else, only time.
"I don't decide, it should be within ten minutes, and once I succeed, I can form a protective barrier in which the insects can't get close. But if you fail, you can't get another chance. The bugs will immediately cut off all connections between those eggs, and my plan needs these eggs to protect the connection!" Xiao Ming said honestly.
"Ten minutes?" Podor thought carefully: "It's done, it's not good, we'll rush out with a flash of light and create time for you!"
"Captain!" Xiao Ming was startled, knowing that Podol meant to sacrifice himself in exchange for time.
"Xiao Ming, you and Remidios have to remember two points, first, kill all the eggs, and have a chance to kill the mother of the worm. Second, get out alive. You don't have to think about the rest, and you can't think about it. We believe in you, and you have to respect us!" said Podor to Xiao Ming in such a heavy tone for the first time.
Xiao Ming didn't say anything anymore, he knew. This was an order given by Podol as a captain.
"Yes. Captain!" Xiao Ming gave a military salute to Podol.
"Alright. Everyone listens, even if it is dead, it has to be blocked for ten minutes. If I don't have enough time, I'll rush out 500 meters with a flash of light and detonate it. Ten minutes ago, even if we were dead, we were going to keep the bugs at bay with our corpses. Do you understand?" Bodol incarnated as a completely unreasonable demon.
"Yes, Captain!" but all the fighters responded as a matter of course.
"Remidios. I know that you are very capable, so your task is to protect Xiao Ming, and you must let him complete the task. Leave us alone, you know?" said Podor again, looking at Remidios.
"I understand!" said Remidios, who said nothing. There is no need to say anything at this time.
"Alright, let's act!" Podol tightened the gun in his hand, and once again determined the sword at his waist, and all the warriors were doing the same thing, breathing, and at this moment turned into erupting flames.
Team 177 rushed to the ground and turned into a sharp arrow. Plunged into the spiders that were tending to the eggs.
The sound of gunfire became so loud that it sounded like thunder.
The bugs had no idea that humans would be so close to their hatchery. Not only is this the largest hatchery in the area, but it's also the place where the mother worm is located, the most important of the best, how did humans get here?
The bugs didn't have time to think, they didn't need to think, they had already launched a counterattack.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Cannon spewed out countless energy projectiles with a Gatling energy machine gun, leading the way, opening a passage for the team and holding the deadly attack point.
Podol and Hans split up to cover for him.
Big mouth, small wind, Oin took a step back, and responded to the left and right.
The rest of the team also stood in their place, frantically attacking the same crazy bugs.
There are not many bugs in the hatching ground, and the fighting power is not very strong, because the job of these bugs is to take care of the eggs. The bugs also didn't expect humans to come to their hatchery in this way. So the madness of the 177 squad prevailed for a time.
But this time will not be too long, because the worm mother is nearby, and there will definitely be high-level guards by the side of the worm mother.
Sure enough, in less than thirty seconds, a sound like a wolf howling and a sound like an insect chirping sounded. Dozens of ice-blue winds shot in from afar.
"It's the Ice Blue Worms!Be careful, cannon, kill them for me!" Bodol roared.
"Ahhh
The Ice Blue Wolf Worm, which has been wronged by the Blue Ice Beetle Beast for nearly a thousand years, is the guardian of the Mother Worm, a six-star, but its combat power is close to that of the Seven-Star Beast (B-level). In such an environment, they will become even more terrifying, and when dozens of them rush out together, they seem to have the power to destroy everything.
"Block, you must block!" Seeing the ice blue wolf worm getting closer and closer, Podor was so anxious that his eyes were split.
"Ahhh
The man's name was Bass, and he was a very silent soldier in the team, rarely speaking, but he was always brave in battle. At this moment, he turned into a meteor and crashed directly into the front of an ice blue wolf worm that had already reached fifty meters away.
Phew!
The ice blue wolf insect unceremoniously pierced Buzz with its chelicera, even with the protection of power armor, it still couldn't block the sharp chelicerae attack of the ice blue wolf insect - before the appearance of the individual photon shield, humans and insects directly put orders, unless there was a crushing advantage in strength, otherwise humans could only suffer.
Buzz was pierced by the Ice Blue Wolf Worm, but with a cruel laugh, his entire body suddenly exploded, and a white flame instantly enveloped everything within a radius of twenty meters around him. In addition to the Ice Blue Wolf Worm that killed Buzz, there were two other ones in this range.
"This damn bastard, he's hiding a piece of black gold. Damn it, damn it!" scolded the big mouth, but tears rained down.
It's like a signal, a reminder of how the fighters should choose a signal.
Podol glanced back at Xiao Ming, and found that Xiao Ming's eyes were closed, and his hands were raised to hold an insect egg, and Remidios was guarding him, blocking all the insects that approached.
Ten minutes had passed since the appointment, but only a minute had passed.
Nine minutes to go.
"Kill!" (to be continued......)
