On the contrary, Kitahara Sora was now in a relaxed mood, and the seats on both sides of his body were empty. Hui obediently took the person next to him to Silent Hill.

Although his ship was above the explosion, it was not the first batch of shells to hit the ground... He watched helplessly as it was engulfed in flames without even activating his demon mode.

After all, this kind of high-tech warship is not as fragile as paper. Since they dare to design it this way, it means that this kind of escape ship can not only ensure the safety of the people in the cabin, but also can withstand the impact!

As soon as this thought came to mind, the escape ship shed its red-hot metal outer armor, and a ball of indigo flame emerged from the bow.

Under the reverse thrust, the falling speed suddenly stopped, and it hit the ground at a safe speed...

"Bam—"

As a violent impact was felt, the sensor light screen inside the helmet jumped and then returned to calm, and a mechanical intelligent prompt sound came from the earphone.

"Armor damage detection in progress, scanning started... All values ​​are accurate, the unit is not damaged, hatch will be opened soon..."

Beiyuan Kong's eyes widened, and he almost froze on the spot...

So, they have a forced landing system? It's not like the Iron Blood landing ship slams into the ground?

So, although the starship has released the authority to the escape ship, the flagship still controls the operation. Is the commander really so cold-blooded that he treats the soldiers as cold data and will do anything to achieve his goal, even at the cost of partial sacrifice to preserve the whole?

Therefore, the ship he was on was extremely lucky and was not one of the ones rushing to the front...

This kind of commander is a blessing to humanity as a whole, but a devil to the soldiers on the battlefield!

As the hatch popped open, Kitahara Sora felt the restraints on his body loosen, and what came into view was a vast expanse of earth that looked like a scorched earth and was emitting green smoke.

As an armored arm reached out to him, Kitahara Sora grabbed it.

"senior."

After Hui pulled up Kitahara Sora, her visor with a metallic glow retracted, revealing her pretty face. "We have separated from the seniors. The ships launched by the Pioneer have two preset landing sites. They are near the direction of the experimental base, and we are in the main battlefield."

"Two directions?" Beiyuan Kong frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Turning his head and looking around, he saw that the hatches of all the ships that had landed safely were all open, and soldiers wearing various types of armor stumbled out from inside.

They supported each other or screamed for medics. The scene was chaotic and urgent.

A warning of the approaching Zerg army came over the channel, and the flagship's order was given again, requiring everyone to assemble within ten minutes and form a defensive line within three minutes.

There was a burst of noise coming from the headset, and Yukino's intermittent voice came through. Although it was not very clear, the general meaning was that Hayato Hayama, Daigo Kobayashi, and Takashi Komuro were on her side.

The newcomers include Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sugoshinori, Sawagoe Tadashi, and Saionji Sekai. Rick is also with them and is currently in a safe situation.

Kitahara Sora did not answer in a hurry, but glanced at the humanoid armor standing up behind him. He looked around and knew it was Aso Takuto without looking. The other person made a gesture to him, and he looked like a veteran, so it must be Kazami.

"By the way, who was the one you activated your ability on just now?"

"It's a character in the plot." Hui replied softly.

"That's fine. We'll find an opportunity to reunite with Yukino and not participate in a frontal battle." Kitahara Sora made a prompt decision and immediately turned on the armor's built-in radar.

Xueno is about 50 kilometers away from here. The regular team members can reach there in less than a day, but these newcomers...

Kitahara Sora looked at the newcomers in the back row. Except for one who was still unconscious, the others were waking up slowly.

One of them just woke up and pretended to vomit by holding his stomach. He didn't even know to open his visor.

He retracted his gaze, looked at his team members and nodded slightly, the meaning was very clear: there was no way to guarantee the safety of these people.

"Let's go southwest."

As soon as Beiyuan Kong finished speaking, he looked up at the sky in a daze. A buzzing sound like a mosquito came from a distance, and a dark cloud suddenly appeared on the skyline...

"Jumper!!!" As a roar came from the battlefield channel, the human soldiers who had just landed immediately became busy and nervous.

At this time, various landing ships of all sizes were deployed, mechanical armors walked out of the hatches, and a number of Banshee fighters similar to those in the StarCraft game took off vertically from the ground.

In the center of the front, the heavy tank retracted its tracks, and the thick fixed bracket was deeply inserted into the ground. The turret deformed, and the center of the hollow launch base flashed with lightning...

The heavily armored troops quickly gathered at the periphery, with the flamethrowers in their hands ready to go.

Jumpers are a type of Zerg. They are a type of Zerg. Each one weighs about 30 kilograms, has an IQ of about 64, and a ground speed of kilometers per hour.

But their speed in the air can reach 400 km/h, which is faster than the maximum speed of ordinary helicopters. This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that they have sharp front claws and jaws.

Combined with high-speed dive attacks, it can easily destroy human high-strength armor. As for ordinary power armor, it is almost as brittle as paper.

Moreover, they have grasshopper-like hind limbs, which are extremely agile even on the ground, and can leave behind piles of broken bodies when they bounce!

In the movie, there are not many soldiers like the Zerg, but now facing this black mass, there are at least tens of thousands of them!

They have strong destructive power, but are also very fragile compared to ground infantry. Even ordinary fire can cause fatal damage to them. But why are they the first to take the lead? Why don't humans launch an attack?

"Why……"

Bei Yuankong stared at the distant skyline and murmured, "This place is similar to a Zerg military base. Plasma swarms are distributed here. The starships in space have no choice but to drop small fleets in the form of 'paratroopers'... So..."

At this time, the groups of jumpers in the sky did not break in, but hovered in the sky and surrounded this area, and humans still did not receive any attack orders?

Kitahara Sora took a deep breath and said, "So, this is the hinterland!"

"Hinterland?" Aso Takuto was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "What kind of tactic is this?"

"Desperate!" Feng Jian responded softly: "The Zerg have just conquered this planet, so they only arranged plasma turrets in two places. The first one has been destroyed by the orbital strike, and the second one is here!"

Due to the surprise attack, in order to preserve the remaining fleet in space, the commander-in-chief could only issue such an order, using lives to destroy these artillery positions, and the follow-up troops assembled on the spot to form defensive fortifications.

The Zerg probably didn't expect that humans would fight to the death in this way and throw all their combat forces into their hinterland.

Therefore, the sudden appearance of the Zerg's air force was to lure humans into launching the first round of firepower coverage.

The human army was not fooled, they were waiting...

Because compared to this terrifying air force, even more terrifying is the Zerg's ground force!

Kitahara Sora suddenly turned his head, looked around the vast plain, and then stared at the direction where Yukino was.

At this time, the ground began to tremble, and new instructions came again in the battlefield channel. All the war mechas surrounded the tank turrets, the mobile corps were arranged in the middle layer with flesh and blood, and the outer heavy armored corps were still motionless at the front of the line.

"What kind of strange arrangement is this?" Hui asked puzzledly.

"This is the most correct arrangement. The heavy tanks are like the ultimate killer that covers the group's vitality. The war mechas are mainly to protect them, and the infantry are at the front because we are surrounded."

Beiyuan Kong glanced at the girl beside him and said softly, "So the humans made the right bet. There must be a worm nest under our feet, and the brain worm is likely inside. Because of this large-scale explosion, the tunnel should have collapsed on a large scale, so the swarms of insects distributed on the outer defense can only encircle and suppress us from the ground."

"So, our 'Eighth Legion' will be deployed in a dispersed manner. Our orders in the main battlefield should be issued immediately..."

Before Beiyuan Kong had finished his words, there were bursts of roars as the drilling mecha began to move. A cold order also rang out in the channel, instructing members of the Eighth Army to take the drilling machine deep into the ground to search for brain worms.

At this time, insects as dense as ants appeared on the distant skyline, and the jumpers in the air finally launched an attack on humans.

"The main quest hasn't changed, right?" Hui asked softly.

Kitahara Sora nodded, then looked at Aso Takuto, "You should be able to drive a mecha, right? No, you must be able to drive one."

"?"

Aso Takuto stared at Kitahara Sora in a daze. Before he could respond, he heard him continue, "Kill the drilling machine driver and drive the machine towards Yukino!"

As soon as Beiyuan Kong finished speaking, he immediately ran towards the drilling machine not far away, but at this moment an accident happened!

As the battlefield commander screamed in the headset, all anti-aircraft weapons began to fire, and the ground once again shook and bulged like an earthquake.

A giant monster over ten meters tall suddenly emerged from the ground and blocked Bei Yuankong's way. Following it came countless Zerg guards...

Then, not far away, another small hill appeared... one, two, three...

Therefore, the tremors created by the outer Zerg army were just an illusion, the purpose of which was to cover up the sound of the Zerg going deeper into the ground a hundred meters below. As soon as the humans arrived, they were confused by the army of jumpers in the sky and had no time to set up large-scale detective equipment!

Kitahara Sora slowly raised his head and looked up at the hideous and terrifying giant beetle. His pupils suddenly shrank and he kicked Aso Takuto beside him, sending him flying more than ten meters.

Less than half a second after he retracted his leg, a huge two-meter-wide spike pierced deeply into the ground!

Deafening sounds of gunfire rang out, and infantry phalanxes began to form battle groups, firing fiercely at the bugs. The tank turrets in the center also burst out with powerful beams of light, shooting at the jumpers that were like dark clouds covering a city!

"Go! Charge to the southwest!" Beiyuan Kong dodged the sweeping sickle and shouted, "Mei! Get rid of it!"

Just after she finished yelling, Hui turned around nimbly and appeared on the back of the tank worm. The laser gun in the girl's hand was also aimed at the joint of its armor. A burst of blue light flashed, and the disgusting milky yellow mucus splashed everywhere...

But the girl kicked her legs nimbly and completely avoided the corrosive liquid. Her body turned into a ball of black smoke while still in the air, and the next second she was standing steadily on the back of the tank worm.

She flipped her palm and threw a grenade into the fist-sized gap.

But just as Hui threw the grenade and had no time to jump off the tank bug, a guard jumped up and used its sharp, vice-like mouthparts to chomp down on the girl's waist!

It is a shame for an Agility Enhancer to be successfully attacked by a blatant sneak attack, let alone an assassin who uses sneak attacks as his main means of attack?

It was this seemingly unavoidable attack. The girl twisted her body strangely, stretched out her hands, and grasped the guard's two breaths tightly in her hands!

Power armor has its pros and cons. The pro is that it greatly increases the user's strength. Even a weak girl like Hui can wrestle with insects weighing nearly one ton. The con is that she cannot maximize her dexterity.

So Hui was pinned to the back of the tank bug by the bug, and the grenade was about to explode...

Just as the girl was about to take off her armor and perform a trick to escape, a blue beam shot out from the side and pierced the insect's brain effortlessly.

Feeling the strength in his hands loosen, Kato Megumi was lifted up by Kitahara Sora and leapt into the air.

"Boom——"

At this moment, the grenade that Hui had stuffed into the joint of the tank worm's skull exploded, and the tank worm's huge head flew into the air, while the milky yellow liquid poured out from the broken neck like a flood, completely pouring onto the escape ship that it had just boarded...

At this time, the last newcomer finally woke up, but he was turned into a slime monster while he was still in a daze.

Under the continuous green smoke, the newcomer went from being confused at first to being shocked. When the liquid completely corroded his armor, he twisted his body madly and screamed...

Even though the power armor is extremely resistant to corrosion, it cannot withstand continuous watering!

After just a few seconds, he stopped struggling. After a puff of green smoke, only a pile of half-dissolved bones remained in the empty shell of armor.

The bones were soaked in a sticky brown liquid made from flesh and blood. The liquid seemed to be boiling and bubbling... It was disgusting, terrifying, and chilling!

0 Chapter 33 Deterrence

"boom--"

As the tank's pulse cannon was fully charged, straight beams of light shot out from all directions, and the swarm of insects charging in front was enveloped in a sea of ​​fire.

The war mecha also drew out its giant alloy sword, and as the light blade was swung, the insects that emerged from the ground were smashed to pieces. As the pilot swung, the fire control system automatically locked onto the target, and the electromagnetic cannon on the shoulder continuously fired energy beams.

Every time an explosion occurred on the chaotic battlefield, one or more insects would be blown to pieces or blown away.

The huge tank bugs were like mammoths in mythical battlefields, charging through the ant-like crowds. When they lifted and landed with their sturdy legs like bridge piers, one or more humans would be crushed.

While they were making low roars, they kept spitting out hot acid like dragon's breath from their mouths. The sticky yellow liquid was like the water gun of a fire truck, sweeping through an army like a raging fire, and dozens of human soldiers turned into a pool of pus!

The sound of "whoosh, whoosh" breaking through the air continued to be heard from the sky. Countless missiles flew towards the densely packed jumpers and exploded immediately after coming into contact with the swarm of insects. The flames ignited the azure sky and actually created a sea of ​​fire in the air.

The air was filled with thick smoke and a river of flames hung upside down.

A shrill roar came from the sky. The ignited jumpers were like fighter planes hit by anti-aircraft guns during World War II. They were covered in flames and were circling or diving down from the sky.

Looking from the ground, it was like the period when dinosaurs became extinct, with meteor showers and swarms of meteorites hitting the earth. It was so desperate and terrifying!

Aso Takuto held the gun and shot at the bugs around him, shouting, "Do you still want to drive the drilling mecha?"

After Kitahara Sora helped Hui up from the ground, he quickly looked around and roared, "Stay together, stay together, form small battle groups with the human soldiers, blend into their formation, don't be left alone, don't be ambushed, watch out for the tank bugs—"

"Kazemi!"

"team leader!"

Kitahara Sora glanced at the direction of the tank bug again and counted silently in his mind: "One, two, three... five, six, seven..."

There are a total of seven tank bugs, and their target is the pulse tank in the center of the battlefield, while the tank group aims to attack the large number of bugs at the edge of the battlefield.

There were about thirty war mechas guarding the tanks, but they were already overwhelmed by the ordinary guard bugs. Small weapons had little effect on them, and large-scale fortifications had not been built yet...

"How many pulse magazines were exchanged?"

"Four." Kazami replied while shooting, "Four pulse magazines, each can fire three rounds."

"Use one, I want to see three tank bugs die!"

After Kitahara Kongyu closed his mouth, the laser gun in Fengjian's hand suddenly disappeared, and the arc sniper rifle suddenly appeared in his hand, aiming at the tank bug at the three o'clock direction.

Countless beams of light shot towards the tank bug, but the ordinary soldiers' lasers only produced bursts of green smoke when hitting its dark shell, and not even a scorch mark was left!

It completely ignored these ants, and its compound eyes only saw the mecha line in front of it.

"Stop it, stop it, don't let it get close!"

The roar of a human officer came into the ears from the battlefield channel, and more people pointed their guns at the nearest biological machine.

But the hero who jumped onto its back in the movie did not appear again. Under the instinctive deterrence of this creature, no one even dared to approach it within ten meters, let alone insert the muzzle of a gun into the gap of its shell!
