So what is the Zerg trying to achieve by spending such a huge price and even exposing its long-hidden puppet worms?

Tinder.

Yuki didn't have to think too much to know what those bugs running around were looking for, and he could also guess that Chris's tactical map was not complete.

Humanity’s high-end combat power must also be guarding the fire. Whoever leaves will die.

"The fire is most likely on this warship, and anyone who tries to get close to it is courting death."

Yuki was very rational and not arrogant enough to interfere in the war between humans and insects. He also saw that this battleship was extremely strong and could accommodate the high-end combat forces of both sides.

You can't go, and you can't ask. Players don't have much time, but those who can actually survive are very patient.

Besides, at this point, it’s too late to use hint 7 to turn back, so we should just stick to it.

Yuuki's goal was clear. As a member of the core raiding team, he was responsible for completing Johnny Silverhand's mission, and then, as he had promised the commander-in-chief:

Give everything for humanity.

With the humming sound of the motor, the elevator was rising rapidly. Five tin cans surrounded Yuki, but he was the main figure.

Powerful, intelligent, professional, and most importantly, loyal. If other psionic warriors still have doubts, then the 'Crimson Squad' is extremely determined.

He has made outstanding military achievements, actively participated in the eradication of puppet insects, and never inquired about secrets. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has paid close attention to him for so long, but has not found any problems.

The only flaw was that he participated in the conspiracy of the reinforcements, but when the other reinforcements took the opportunity to escape, he was fighting a bloody battle with the traitor.

Unspeakable loyalty.

"Everyone, check your equipment. There are traces of hunter bugs inside the ship. If I'm not mistaken, they'll climb up the pipes and reunite with the puppet bugs."

Yuki looked at the jumping numbers and spoke quietly, and then the sound of various mechanical machines running came from behind him.

He also has an advantage, which is that he works alone and has been working with these psychic warriors for a long time, unlike other players' teams that are independent.

Yuuki looked at the holographic map projected by the golden bracelet, which had a red dot in it.

Except for the players, everyone in the command center will have a locator implanted in their body. That is the location of Commander Jacson found by the ship's scanner, but there is an eerie silence in the entire area, and the garrison did not follow the order to arrest him.

Area C is the warehouse of the research department and also the area of ​​the internal affairs department. It seems that the situation is not good. The infected puppet insects have plenty of time to spread. The troops that came to chase the players just now are definitely not all of them.

"The power supply in Area C has been cut off. The Pale Scythe and Thor's Hammer will rush in from the other side. Our mission goal is to kill the lieutenant colonel. In this way, all the infected people will lose their ability to move." Chris is responsible for contacting the various teams.

"What will happen to those infected after the war?" Yuki was a little curious.

"Lock them up and carry out pest control. Once you're sure there are no problems, return to your respective posts."

Fortunately, there is hope.

Yuuki nodded slightly, then frowned. "A puppet bug is spreading the infection right under your noses, how come you don't know anything about it?"

The infection was obviously prepared before the war started, and judging by the strange state of Area C, it lasted for a long time.

This question made the lieutenant feel a little embarrassed, and she also realized that this was a huge conspiracy that was secretly prepared before the reinforcements arrived.

"But, it's possible that Lieutenant Colonel Jacson has a special status and used his authority to avoid internal review."

Puppet worms cannot be detected, but infected bodies cannot escape internal review. According to Defense Force regulations, a scan is required every three days. Judging from the scale, it will probably take more than three days.

"He can circumvent a few people, but he definitely can't cover up for an entire region. Who will be responsible for the internal review?"

"Interior Minister Brigadier General Suweimendi, wait a minute, he can't be infected!" Chris was visibly panicking, as if trying to convince herself: "The Brigadier General is a true battlefield hero, who has made indelible contributions to humanity. And he, he has to report to the Marshal every few days, he definitely can't escape the Marshal's eyes..."

Her voice became increasingly quiet, and she felt guilty about being stared at by someone cold and indifferent, realizing that only this Brigadier General could protect so many infected people.

The commander-in-chief will have to see through the infection, but what if it is a more advanced puppet worm?

It turns out that the commander-in-chief can also see through identities. I have to be more careful in the future and try not to meet him.

Yuki grasped the information between the lines, his expression unchanged, and he gently patted his hard armor.

"Is the Brigadier General an acquaintance of yours?"

"After my parents died in the war, he was my guardian..."

I see. No wonder you were so hostile towards me before.

Yuuki felt that this routine was somewhat familiar, but he also understood the pain contained in it, and did not force the girl with reason.

"Don't overthink it. Confirm it after you see him. Take a deep breath. Could it be that you psychic warriors would hesitate between family affection and loyalty?"

That definitely won't happen. Loyalty to humanity is everything. They have been taught since childhood that even if their parents betray humanity or pull the trigger a second slower, it is a blasphemy against loyalty.

But Chris was still trembling. After all, humans have feelings and they don't even dare to think about the moment of making a choice.

'After all, they are not true Astartes. No, Astartes will also rebel because of injustice.'

Yuki sighed. The players were not much better off. They were all just pitiful creatures.

He had only met Brigadier General Suweimendi once and had no feelings for him. He was concerned about the special force called "Judges".

"Everyone, stay calm. There aren't many psychic warriors stationed in Area C, but it's a warehouse full of powerful weapons. Dead people are not qualified to pursue the truth." Yuki paused, then gave the order like a psychic warrior:

"After reaching Area C, we will adopt a breakthrough mode. Lieutenant, follow me. Number 1 and 2 will provide cover fire. Number 3 will hold the shield and clear the way. Number 4 will guard the rear."

"Yes."

"clear."

They were all professional fighters and could adjust their mood quickly. Yuki looked at the jumping numbers again and drew his sword.

"The battle begins."

Ding--

The elevator stopped at Area C. Before the door opened, a crimson laser had already shot in. A 'pot lid' on wheels blocked the corridor, firing cleanly and efficiently.

The steel melted and the interior of the elevator was directly burned. When the light beam faded and several infected people quickly replaced the fuel rods, an arm hung down from the twisted elevator, with a fist-sized gun pointing at them.

boom!

The blaster blew the laser cannon and the surrounding operators into the sky. The heavily armored warrior jumped down, holding up a large shield like a door panel, and a dark blue force field expanded on the surface of the shield.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

Various electromagnetic rifles and beam Gatling guns flew densely from the corridor, causing ripples on the surface of the shield. The heavily armored warriors over three meters tall advanced steadily under the firepower, and their companions behind them raised their guns.

Micro missiles, beam rifles, and all kinds of heavy firepower were fired at each other. They brushed past each other in the narrow corridor, blasting holes in the walls, the ground, and the ceiling. The power supply in the area had been cut off, like a gorgeous firework.

But in the fully enclosed helmet, darkness is not a problem at all. Every soldier can clearly see the Marines and even the handyman sticking their heads out and shooting wildly at the corner at the end of the corridor.

There were many of them, but every time they poked their heads out they were blasted to pieces by bullets, and they were suppressed to the point where they could only rely on shooting.

As the distance got closer, dozens of black objects were thrown out, and a voice without any emotion was heard in the communication channel.

"Malta grenade."

"Number 3, go up."

Without any hesitation, the warrior holding the shield immediately increased his speed, and the force field spread outward, bouncing the grenade back like an air cannon.

boom! !

The result was definitely not good. The orange-red flames melted the alloy wall, and a charred arm even bounced in front of Yuki's feet, and he stepped over it casually.

Yuki has been looking at the holographic map. After the corridor is the warehouse area, and there are various facilities behind it. The target location is 200 meters away in a straight line. There are too many obstacles, and the demon's vision cannot see far.

“Check the corners.”

"Yes."

Chris wiped her waist and released a bee-sized drone, and the picture in the helmet immediately changed to the drone's perspective.

"At the end of the corridor is a giant elevator. There's a blaster cannon at the door, aimed right here. The force field shield can't stop it. There's a staircase on the second floor, and there are a lot of heavy weapons deployed on it."

There is only one corridor in Area C, and it is impossible to go around it. Looking at the terrain, the elevator is divided into two floors, and the corridor on the second floor overlooks the entrance, which can turn anyone who enters into a sieve.

Hit the high and hit the low, beat the pen down.

A joke flashed through Yuuki's mind, and then he looked at the tactical map. A fierce battle was going on on the other side of Area C. The two teams of psychic warriors were blocked by the enemy's advantageous terrain and could not advance an inch.

"We can't wait for the puppet bugs to bring their troops back." Yuki glanced at the corner ahead and gave the order: "Number 3, maximum defense power. If you can't hold on, get out of the way."

"clear."

The footsteps sounded again. These soldiers were professional, cold and rigid. They would obey orders even though they knew they could not stop the enemy.

How loyal.

As the team turned around the corridor, the terrain expanded like a morning glory. In the middle was an open giant explosion-proof door. The door was ten meters high and could accommodate large machinery in and out.

The power was cut off and the door could not be closed, but a plasma ball with a diameter of two meters suddenly flew out from the dark interior.

The azure force field suddenly expanded, almost covering the corridor, and the plasma ball hit it, sending out ripples.

The warrior gritted his teeth, his whole body still being pushed back. In the blink of an eye, the force field was pierced and traces of melting appeared on the breastplate.

"Get out of the way."

Hey.

The warrior obeyed the order and stepped aside. The roaring plasma ball enlarged in his field of vision, but Yuki took the initiative to meet it, leaning forward and raising his sword to chop.

Destroy the demon.

Another round of force field emerged, and the plasma ball, which had consumed most of its energy, suddenly stopped and flew back like a meteor.

boom! !

The ground beneath my feet was shaking, and the dim corridor was illuminated. A large amount of debris mixed with broken limbs and arms flew everywhere. The roadblock behind the door and the blaster were directly blown away.

But the infected people were like puppets, standing on the corridor bridge without moving at all, and aiming several machine gun-like weapons at the entrance.

"Charge, follow my steps."

Yuki accelerated decisively and rushed to the front. He knew that various machine guns and guns were aimed at him, but he pressed his waist before rushing into the vast area.

The realm of night.

The dark darkness suddenly unfolded, blocking all infrared and thermal detection, and also causing the defenders who were on high alert to lose their target.

They didn't wait and just pulled the trigger.

Da da da......

Beams and projectiles tore through every inch of air, especially those fist-sized beam cannons, which were originally a defense system installed on the battleship.

The entrance was only ten meters wide, and the ground was shaking continuously. The metal storm lasted for a few seconds and then stopped, because the short night had passed and the bright steel knife was right in front of them.

The probe returned to normal, and the entrance turned into the surface of the moon, full of holes of various sizes.

In front of me, I saw a black-haired man squatting on the railing of the corridor bridge, and the sharp blade reflected his face.

Before he could turn the gun, a flying bullet had already blown him to pieces.

boom!

The soldiers were suppressing the enemy at the door, and Yuki also took out his musket and fired, making it difficult for the defenders to take care of both the upper and lower parts. After several machine guns were eliminated, the remaining rifles could not even break through the defense.

solve.

Yuuki left a trail of blood on the wall and looked at the psychic warrior who was constantly firing. The latter was like a cold-blooded killing machine and was not the same kind of creature as the Marines at all.

Without heavy weapons and losing advantageous terrain, it is wishful thinking to stop them. Including myself, these more than one hundred people will not survive for more than two minutes.

"No biological reaction, all targets eliminated."

Chris came over with a molecular vibration knife with some minced meat hanging on it.

"Well, the friendly forces have advanced less than ten meters, but the target still hasn't moved. It's impossible that he didn't hear the sound of fighting."

Yuki looked at the tactical map. Across the elevator was the warehouse, and the red dot was behind the warehouse.

Did the infected psionic warriors all go to the other side? Wouldn't that mean it's been caught in a trap?

Yuuki was a little suspicious and more aware of his mission.

He needed to go to Area B above his head. He had already figured out where the central computer room was by getting the map, but how could he complete the task with so many people watching him?

"Let's go quickly and kill him, and the internal problem will be solved." Chris didn't know what Yuki was thinking, she just felt that the operation was going very smoothly.

"Gather, let's slow down."

"why?"

"It's simple. The Zerg's purpose of survival is to complete their goals. How could they just sit there and wait for death? And there's still no news of that Brigadier General."

The investigation application has been submitted, but the scan inside the ship still has no results. Suvimendi's suspicion is rapidly increasing, and the lieutenant colonel is more like bait.
