Chapter 269 Insect Tide
"It's true, it's true, they really are warriors!"

Teddy's eyes lit up as he circled around a 5-meter-tall war machine, waving his arms and legs with joy.

Mo Yu looked at the fire fox and asked, "Is this thing very precious?"

Firefox nodded and explained, "There are only 72 of these on Paradise Island, known as the 72 Earthly Fiends... There used to be only 72, but now we don't know how many there are. If we had one of these, the Golden Beetles we encountered before could have easily destroyed the entire nest."

Mo Yu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He observed the four-legged war machine in front of him and felt it looked familiar. When he investigated Amya's underground base, these things were everywhere, filling the entire underground warehouse.

At least tens of thousands of units.

This thing is still on the first floor, so it shouldn't be any very important machine. There are several more floors below, where there are even more and larger, more futuristic war machines.

The team is ready to go.

"Where's Iron Wolf?"

After Firefox took attendance, it discovered that Iron Wolf was nowhere to be found.

Zang Ai said, "I just said I was going to the restroom."

Teddy cursed, "He ran away again. He'll definitely stay far away from anything that involves frontline work, just like before."

Firefox sighed, "Let's go."

The situation was urgent, and there was no time to waste. Everyone boarded the tanks, used wireless VR to control the three Conquerors, and set off together to rush to the front-line outpost.

Mo Yu personally operated a Conqueror.

This thing is very intelligent, you could say it's a foolproof mode. Once you turn on the automatic escort, the warriors will automatically follow the chariot without any human intervention.

During this time, he can familiarize himself with the various weapon systems of the Conqueror.

Three hours later, the tank arrived at a checkpoint outpost, where a total of 10 squads came to provide support.

Group 12 arrived the latest.

Once you get close, immediately connect to the public channel.

A holographic map appears.

The situation and deployment of the outposts are clear at a glance.

The on-site command is remotely controlled by headquarters. The role of reserve commander falls to Firefox, who has the highest rank. If an accident occurs and the headquarters loses contact, Firefox will be needed to command all the teams on site to work together.

The team began its operation.

Under the command of the general, 10 teams went out for mobile operations, relying on the powerful performance of the Conqueror to make the first interception.

Group 12 proceeded along the commanded route and quickly arrived at the ambush location.

Long-range radar showed that the vanguard of the Starflies had reached 10 kilometers away.

The three warriors took the initiative to attack.

This thing has a levitation mode. Once activated, it can float at low altitudes, move regardless of terrain, and quickly maneuver between hills.

The two sides are 5 kilometers apart.

The golden beetle leading the charge.

These star worms are like cockroaches, pure cannon fodder. They are numerous, reproduce quickly, have limited attack power, but are extremely resilient.

Mo Yu fiddled with the control lever.

On the holographic radar, numerous floating frames appeared, locking onto individual red dots.

With the press of the launch button, the back of the Conqueror opens, and plasma missiles are launched, trailing into the distance.

The enemy is invisible to the naked eye.

The red dot on the radar disappeared quickly.

It doesn't require much technology; you just need to keep locking onto the launcher, and the fire control will automatically lock on and launch the plasma missile.

There are too many star worms.

The three warriors held them off for less than a minute before the golden beetles surged like a tidal wave, appearing on the horizon.

After closing the distance by 1 kilometer, the Conqueror electromagnetic cannon completed charging and began firing.

The panel automatically locks, the screen zooms in, and the heads of the golden beetles are selected one by one. The two electromagnetic cannons fire in a crossfire, and each shot can accurately pierce the head of a golden beetle with an error of less than 5cm at a kilometer.

After firing hundreds of bullets in a single salvo, the electromagnetic railgun needs to be recharged.

The invaders began to retreat, fighting as they retreated. The red dots on the radar stretched out in a dense mass, so numerous that it was impossible to count them all.

The area within 50 kilometers of the outpost is within the range of artillery fire.

Once within artillery range, Firefox immediately called for artillery fire. As the swarm of starbugs entered the firing range, they were met with a carpet bombing. Everywhere they looked, explosions billowed up small mushroom clouds, and red dots on the bio-radar disappeared in large swaths.

This was the first time Mo Yu had experienced war.

This was just a small, localized battlefield. The same scene kept repeating itself, centered on Paradise Island, with mushroom clouds of explosions forming a circle that surrounded the island.

Pillars of light kept falling from the sky.

The wrath of heaven rained down relentlessly, turning an area of ​​a thousand meters in radius into a sea of ​​lava with each strike, one after another.

A large army of star worms was also approaching from the sky.

The fighter jets took off in formation, and from the ground, all that could be seen were flashes of light in the clouds.

Paradise Island's firepower was fierce, and the surrounding terrain was altered by the barrage of powerful artillery. However, the attacks of the Star Bugs were even more intense, with endless swarms of bugs.

The defensive perimeter of Paradise Island continued to shrink, outposts were constantly being eliminated, and the defenses crumbled layer by layer.

A surging sea of ​​insects.

There is no sign of it stopping.

After a week of intense fighting, the outpost was breached.

All Marines have withdrawn.

Team 12 retreated to Paradise Island. For the past seven days, the team members had barely slept and relied entirely on medication to sustain themselves, engaging in intense combat.

The group was somewhat demoralized. After the retreat, they were given a day to rest, but were only allowed to rest in the camp and were to be ready to fight at any time.

Mo Yu is in good spirits.

He releases a mirror image every so often, while his real body returns to its hiding place to rest and exchanges information with Alice every day.

Since the Starflies began their attack, Eva has found an excuse to take the clones away. It's clear that Amya can't afford to pay attention to this anymore and is focusing all her efforts on dealing with the Starflies' all-out offensive.

Power rationing has begun on Paradise Island.

All research ceased, energy supplies were diverted to the war effort, and other resources, especially metals, were placed under strict control.

Wars are all about resources.

Paradise Island can maintain its current firepower because it has 200 years of experience, but if it continues to fight like this, even its rich resources will be exhausted.

After all, Paradise Island has a limited area and its underground mineral veins are nearly exhausted, making its supply capacity too poor.

Mo Yu wandered around the camp and soon found an angel doll.

"Eva, come out."

He called out to Eva, who usually appeared in less than a minute, but today she didn't respond.

She seems to be in a bad mood.

Mo Yu said, "What if I said I knew the reason for the Star Worm's massive attack and knew how to break the deadlock?"

The angel doll instantly activated, her expression showing a hint of dejection and exhaustion, indicating that she hadn't been sleeping well these past few days.

Amya took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "Tell me quickly, I don't have time to play with you."

Mo Yu said, "Go to the camp."

"it is good."

Eva was a little impatient, but she held back and followed Mo Yu back to the camp of Group 12, where they found an empty meeting room to talk.

Amya said coldly, "Speak."

Mo Yu: "Fire Fox".

Amya: "What does this have to do with her?"

Mo Yu: "The Star Worms attacked Paradise Island because they were looking for her. I know you have a lot of good stuff. Take out some high-tech flying vehicles and take her away from Paradise Island. The Star Worms' attack will stop."

Amya hummed in agreement, offering no argument or questions, and immediately began to act, disconnecting the link.

The angel doll automatically returned to its place and left.

A futuristic spaceship flew out of Paradise Island and arrived above the camp in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Group 12 received the latest orders.

Firefox rushed over, pushed open the conference room door, and upon seeing Mo Yu, said:

“Thugs, an emergency mission has been issued, requiring the two of us to act alone aboard the ‘Streamer’ spacecraft for pre-reconnaissance from outer space.”
