The look under Sugo Nobuyuki's visor turned desperate and sinister...
However, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't notice that Sugo Nobuyuki stood up immediately shortly after she turned around, and it was Rick, who treated his comrades like brothers, who helped him up.
Chapter 35 Seeds of Corrosion
The bugs that appear in the movie are collectively called "Arachnis Zerg". The original setting is that they live on the planet Clandaff in the Milky Way, but the observer fixed the bug and changed the planet Clandaff to a galaxy.
They have millions of years of evolutionary history, and through fighting with them over the years, we have concluded that compared to humans, most combat troops have lower intelligence but still retain the basic IQ of biological beings.
But their advantages are that they are selfless, fearless, and have strong reproductive capabilities.
For example, the most common Zerg creature, the 'Warrior', is also translated as a guard. This lowest-level Zerg warrior is three meters tall, five meters long, weighs about half a ton, and runs at a speed of 64 kilometers per hour.
It has limbs like steel guns and upper and lower jaws like scissors. Data shows that the Warrior's bite force exceeds 4000 pounds, but this set of power armor can only increase the weight by hundreds of kilograms at most.
In other words, as long as it clamps its target, it will cut a human wearing power armor in half effortlessly, and the fastest running speed of a human wearing this armor cannot reach 64 hours.
Although it is terrifying, human technology is dominant in the fight against this race. No matter how strong the insects are, they are still living creatures. The federal standard laser gun aims at the warriors' vital points and can almost kill them with one shot!
Yukino's vision was filled with flames. As she quickly ran around the corpses of various animals, her brain was also working rapidly, recalling various details about the Zerg in the movie, or thinking about the bugs that the observer had modified.
The Zerg are an interstellar civilization, and their leaders must understand the need for sustainable development of the race. So, since this is a breeding farm, everyone must be far away from the Zerg nest.
It was roughly estimated that there were thousands of creatures being driven away, so the number of insects being captured must be about three times that number. Three thousand insects formed a circular encirclement, surrounding an area of two kilometers in radius...
Assuming they are dispersed in small teams, there are probably only a few hundred of them heading in this direction.
49 people are facing a hundred bugs, and they have to deal with them before they can come to support and tear a gap in the encirclement!
"hiss--"
At this moment, a hoarse roar entered the eardrums. Yukino, who was the first to rush out of the fire scene, had a stern look in her eyes. Countless small red frames appeared in her pupils, and the largest one almost stuck to her face!
At this moment, the girl who was running fast twisted her body forcefully, and a spike like a steel bar pierced her chest. Sparks flew, and the sharp spike left a scratch on the power armor.
As the girl turned gracefully in the air, a blue beam shot out from the muzzle of the gun, and the attacking insect was shot through the head before it could pull its forelimbs out of the ground, and began to twitch continuously on the ground.
After all, Yukino was not Kitahara Sora or Hui. After dodging the sneak attack, she lost her balance and rolled on the ground several times in a panic. Before she could get up, a huge scissor mouth was reflected on her visor...
As the steel pincers grew larger, a blue light flashed in the girl's pupils inside the helmet. She subconsciously wanted to dodge but forced herself to retract her hands, and stretched out her hands to tightly grasp the upper and lower jaws of the insect!
"Zi-"
Just as she touched the insect's mouthparts, a blue light flashed from behind her and penetrated the insect's brain. The huge power transmitted by the gauntlet was fleeting, and sticky and disgusting blood immediately filled her vision.
Yukino was startled and subconsciously wanted to take off her armor, but she didn't hear any notification that the AI was damaged?
So, only the blood of certain insects is extremely corrosive, and the liquid of this "warrior" has no corrosive effect, or the corrosive effect is very small?
After wiping it with her hand, the girl stood up immediately. At this time, her teammates behind her also rushed over. The shot just now was fired by Kobayashi Daigo.
"Yukinoshita!" Hayato Hayama roared and fired while approaching Yukino, "Which way are you going?"
"To the east!" Rick's voice came from behind. He shouted while shooting, "Assemble, one kilometer to the east is a plain, and then to the north we enter the base! Closer, closer!"
"hiss--"
The creepy hissing sound came from every corner of the jungle. It seemed that the insects had entered their home turf in the dense forest. Everyone only saw the bushes shaking constantly, but there was no trace of the insects at all!
"Three minutes. If we don't escape within three minutes, we will be surrounded!" The black man yelled, "These sons of bitches are playing hide-and-seek with us!"
"F**k hide and seek, they are waiting for reinforcements, Joe you stupid ass, you...ah!!!"
The soldier who was retorting to the black man hadn't finished his words when, like being dragged by a ghost in a horror movie, he suddenly shrank down and disappeared into the bushes.
Then, his screams and howls gradually faded, and the pieces of armor and broken limbs were thrown into the air...
“Bob!!!”
Seeing his friend die, the black man's eyes were bloodshot and he fired wildly in that direction, followed by a burst of screams of insects from the bushes.
The vengeful grin in the black man's helmet had not yet fully bloomed. His body paused, then he slowly raised his head. After being pierced by the insect's forelimbs, he slowly rose up, and his limbs drooped down weakly.
"Get closer, I'm telling you to get closer!!!" Rick screamed hysterically, "Get out, get out of the jungle as fast as you can!"
Yukino quickly looked around, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and shouted to Hayato Hayama: "Give me the blessing of strength!"
Hayato Hayama was stunned, and then a dazzling golden light appeared out of nowhere in his palm. The golden light ball disappeared immediately after flashing for half a second, and a golden fist shadow flashed above Yukino's head.
"Give blessings to all the regular team members." Feeling the tremendous power generated in her body, Xue No shouted while running: "Don't get close, rush out, don't care about anyone except yourself!"
Everyone was stunned when Yukino said this, and Rick's pupils even became bloodshot for a moment. In just a moment, he suppressed the anger in his heart and ran away silently.
She was right. It was almost impossible for everyone to escape unscathed. It was impossible to rely on each other in this situation. In the complex terrain of the woods, the only way to minimize the losses was to protect themselves to the end.
In this situation, don’t even talk about helping each other. You can only survive if you run faster than your teammates! You can only pray that the bugs’ sneak attack is not targeting you!
Rick calmed down completely. He suddenly remembered the indifferent expressions of some of their people who were executed by the Supervisory Squad, and how decisively they had just abandoned the man named Nobuyuki Sugo!
Just as he was stunned for a moment, Nobuyuki Sugo, who had just been helped up by him, passed him at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, the jungle is like a hunting ground. The fleeing mobile team members are the prey, and the insects are the hunters.
The beam of the laser gun shuttled through the air from time to time, hitting the trees and grass, and explosions and flames continued to be heard!
The sound of trees rubbing against each other was accompanied by a terrifying hissing sound. The insects were like phantoms in the jungle. Every time they showed their heads slightly, someone would fall down screaming.
The life detector attached to the armor completely lost its meaning, and the whole screen was filled with red dots flying around rapidly.
So everyone started to flee for their lives. They even gave up fighting back completely and switched the automatic search mode of their helmets to 3D terrain imaging.
Only Rick noticed that golden light kept appearing above the heads of the members of Team 19 from Asia. Every time the light flashed, they seemed to become stronger?
Even the soldier named Komuro Takashi was attacked by insects, but he managed to forcefully push them away and then shot them in the head!
The young woman in the lead was even more exaggerated. A bug swooped down from over her head, but she dodged it with her nimble body, then grabbed its upper and lower jaws with both hands and pulled it forward using the force.
He threw the bug over his shoulder, pinned it to the ground, and stuffed the muzzle of the gun into its mouth!
The elegant posture and smooth movements almost stunned Rick. Judging from the name, they seemed to be from an island country in the Old World?
And the island country in the old world seems to have a fighting technique called "Aikido"? The move she just made seems to be a throw from Aikido? The moves seem to be more standard than the one explained in the video!
But even if it was a throw, that was still a warrior weighing more than a ton! She was still a woman! Could power armor increase the user's strength to more than a ton?
It’s that mysterious golden light!
They were indeed hiding something just as I thought... My memory had indeed been 'modified'!
What kind of experiments is the federal government conducting and what role does it play?
Rick felt his mind was in a mess while running wildly, but his pupils suddenly shrank halfway through the run. A bug pounced on him from the side, and its cold and sharp mouthparts were reflected in his cold helmet. Rick's heart sank, and a feeling of despair spread in his heart.
But the next second...
“Bang! —Crack!”
I saw an iron fist clenched by cold hand armor hammering on the insect's jaw. A dull and violent explosion came beside my ear. This punch actually knocked the insect's huge body crooked, and its jaw as hard as steel was broken!
"Zi-"
The distinctive sound of a laser gun firing was heard, and the insect was pierced through the head by the laser while it was still in the air. The sound of a "thump" falling into the eardrum made the sneak attacking insect twitch a few times before it became silent.
"What are you doing?"
Hayato Hayama's angry question woke Rick up. As a golden light flashed in his sight, he felt his body filled with strength. He looked up subconsciously, and the golden fist shadow just disappeared above his head.
"Who the hell are you!"
Rick forced himself to concentrate and asked as he ran, "Why me?"
Why was it him? Why did he just say not to care about anyone except himself, but in the blink of an eye he risked his life to save him? Why only save him?
Ye Shan did not answer his question. Instead, Yukino's voice came from the headset, "Can you block everyone's electronic systems?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Yes, or no!"
Yukino's pace slowed down a bit. She heard Kasumigaoka Utaha's scream from behind her. After being knocked away by a bug, she raised her gun and fired in panic, but ended up killing the bug by accident.
The heavy corpse pressed on her and she couldn't break free for a while!
Kobayashi Daigo immediately pulled back and just lifted the insect corpse slightly. Fatty Kasumi immediately slipped out and ran towards Yukino.
"cannot!"
Rick felt his body stagnate while running, and a team member tightly grasped his ankle... His crying cry for help came through the headset, but Rick raised his gun and pointed it at his head...
His name is Martin Dennis, he just turned eighteen this year. Because he admires Johnny Rick, he came directly to the Mobile Infantry Regiment. They drank and had fun together a few days ago.
The drunk boy came to Rick and expressed his wishes in a sonorous voice. He saluted Rick with a longing look and said that he wanted to be like the commander in the future. He wanted to kill all the bugs and avenge his parents!
"Feel sorry."
Rick's tone was cold, but his eyes inside his helmet were already red... because Dennis, who had grabbed his ankle, was left with only half a body.
Power armor greatly increases the flexibility of soldiers, and even ordinary people can burst out at extremely fast speeds when wearing it.
At this time, the speed of Zeyueshi, Sugo Nobuyuki and others was no less than that of ordinary soldiers. Even the speed of Saionji Sekai was almost comparable to Bolt's sprint speed.
They charged forward like a wild bull, because no matter whether they hit a tree or fell heavily to the ground, they did not feel any pain under the protection of the armor, which made them run for their lives desperately.
It would take one kilometer to get out of the forest to the east. How long would it take to travel one kilometer at such a fast speed?
The answer is about one minute. During this one minute, the original team of 50 people had been reduced by one third. But what was very strange was that no one in the Izumo team, including the newcomers, died.
Yukino, who was running in the front, slowly stopped. The girl who rushed out of the woods first stood quietly on the grassland. The dark eyes under the visor had turned into icy blue.
"I was wondering before why they didn't immediately surround and suppress us with all their strength after we were discovered." Yukino sighed softly, "Their gathering speed is faster than I thought."
"As soon as they were discovered, they immediately received the order to capture us alive. The 'hunting' in the jungle just now was just to drive us away." Hayato Hayama smiled bitterly and walked over from behind.
Afterwards, Komuro Takashi, Kobayashi Daigo, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Rick and the surviving mobile team members rushed out one after another. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were all stunned.
Nobuyuki Sugo's legs went weak again. He and Sekai Saionji grabbed Sawa Yuezhi's arms on the left and right respectively, looking very feminine.
Rick slowly put down his mask, his cloudy eyes were no longer firm, despair and sorrow filled his entire face.
What catches your eye is a deep blue sky, with the dazzling star Clandaf above your head replacing the sun, emitting dazzling light.
The weather was sunny and the breeze was blowing gently. Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
The warm sunshine even reminded Rick of his vacation in Hawaii last year. The sky here was exactly the same as the earth...it would have been even more perfect if the ground weren't swarming with insects.
It's like a dense swarm of ants, probably several thousand of them.
"It would be great if Miss Kato were here." Komuro Takashi sighed softly.
Hearing this, Yukino smiled instead, "If Hui is not here, will we be unable to survive? Besides, her new skills are only effective on us, and Miss Kasumigaoka has not yet been strengthened."
"I'm just complaining." Komuro Takashi sighed, "The captain has instructed us to try our best to ensure Miss Kasumigaoka's safety, so even if Miss Kato is here, the captain will most likely not choose to run away."
"Eh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha stared blankly at Komuro Takashi. Her despair suddenly disappeared, and she felt mixed emotions inside...
Just now, I was crushed by a bug, and that uncle came to save me because of Kitahara's order. If he hadn't told me to try my best to ensure my safety, he would definitely not come to help me, right?
Kasumigaoka's eyes were red. She wanted to say something, but felt like she couldn't say anything. She could only look at Yukino.
The other party imitated Kitahara Sora and gently patted Kasumigaoka's shoulder, then nodded slowly to her.
"Can you block everyone's electronic systems?"
Rick looked at Yukino again. After three seconds of silence, he said weakly, "You can cut off the communication and recording systems. If you completely cut off the electronic system, this armor will be nothing but scrap metal."
Yukino nodded slowly, "Then cut it off."
Rick glanced at the soldiers behind him, then tapped a few times on the control terminal on his arm, and everyone heard a prompt to cut off contact with the command center.
The swarm of insects in front began to become restless, and the deafening roar would have given people the illusion of tearing their eardrums if it weren't for the protection of the armor.
They slowly approached everyone, and the hundreds of insects that were trapped behind them also showed their heads from the forest. They no longer attacked, but gave people a feeling of being "forced into submission."
"You really want to capture us alive."
Kobayashi Daigo shook his head helplessly, and when he raised his hand, Yukino and Komuro Takashi were wrapped in a layer of soft golden light.
"Change the blessing."
Hayato Hayama whispered something, and suddenly a blue light flashed above Yukino and Komuro Takashi's heads, and the illusion of an ancient book flashed by.
Then, Yukino pressed her chest a few times, and the power armor made a "click" sound and then opened, and a soft body in a tight-fitting suit stepped out from it.
The girl turned her gaze towards Rick and his group. They had almost forgotten their despair and fear, and even their breathing had become rapid...
The originally pitch-black pupils of this beautiful girl were replaced by crystal clear ice-blue. The wanton blue light radiated from her pupils, like a goddess with supreme divine power!
