steel horn

The dense swarms of insects flying to cover the sky and cover the sun crazily hit the ion shield directly, and the place where the ion shield was impacted flashed with electric light, and the wings and tentacles of the insects were scorched, but they still seemed to be unconscious Scruples rushed into the ion shield as if they were not afraid of life and death.

Thousands of ferocious and huge insects flapped their wings and rushed at high speed, which made all the people in the fortress who were watching the enemy's situation at close range through real-time monitoring feel a strong sense of oppression, as if those insects desperately crashing into the ion shield were about to break through the ion shield at any time. hood, crashed into the fortress like a nightmare, destroying everything.

Ke Xia stood in the central control command room, his face sinking like water: "These are the largest, strongest, and fastest headworm main force in the Zerg. They will repeatedly hit the ion shield at high speed, constantly consuming the energy of the ion shield, and then Breaking through the defensive shield—but this kind of madness is really rare." Shao Jun stood behind and didn't react for a while, until Ke Xia turned his head and glanced at him, he came back to his senses, is this for himself?

But Ke Xia has already deployed it proficiently: "Ion cannons are ready, first put [-] empty floating cannons and jamming drone balloon pods out, is the mech team assembled yet? Let them attack immediately after they are assembled. In addition, the ground infantry The first, second and third teams of the armored team will go to battle immediately, and the fourth and fifth teams will be on standby."

Shao Jun stood silently behind him, watching him orderly while watching the scene and directing the battle situation. After hundreds of mech teams went out to battle, he seemed to know every mech, including the pilot, by heart.

"Odin, lead your team to the coordinates 34.67.89, the F-type team guards, Fang Fei, lead the team to the coordinates 29.80.12, use the S-type attack, attack from both sides, all mecha teams obey orders, try to move as far as possible The swarm drove to the southwest of 77.170.95, waiting for the ion cannon attack."

"Busys, cheer up! You missed it! Grew, you evacuate first, look down and wait for orders from a high altitude!"

"Kokus, use the Y-style combat method! You used it wrong-immediately go to support Gus who is one star behind you!"

He was facing dozens of pictures on the huge command screen. Ordinary people would only be dazzled by seeing such pictures, but he accurately used these pictures to control his team, commanding every team and even every machine with his fingers. A how to fight, skillfully commanded each unit and each unit, gradually drove the swarm to the previously determined position, squinted his eyes and pursed his lips, and finally shouted: "Ion cannon! Launch!"

The sharp beam of ion cannon pierced the sky, clearing away all the Zergs within the range, and the number of Zergs besieging the fortress suddenly decreased a lot. The civilian soldiers in the command room couldn't help cheering. Xia Que commanded in a deep voice: "Continue! The next place is northeast, 56.88.97, please continue to prepare for each team."

Sure enough, the team calmly and expertly switched formations, changed quickly, and continued to drive away the remaining Zerg. The second ion cannon was fired again, and a lot of the Zerg swarms on the scene were cleared again.

The nervous people in the command center felt a little relaxed, and Lilith, who had been processing the data quickly, was relieved: "Looks like Lieutenant Rosely can inform the cafeteria to arrange some supper for the teams. After all, everyone didn't have time to eat dinner."

However, the alarm sounded again at this time, and the voice of the sentinel responsible for remote monitoring on the communicator trembled: "Report to the major general! There is another swarm of insects! The number of monitoring is also about [-]! It is expected to arrive in ten minutes!"

The whispering voices in the command center suddenly fell silent, and another wave of Zerg came!This is unprecedented!

Only Ke Xia remained calm, calmly said: "All teams report the current battle damage."

"Report from the First Squadron: 54 people were injured and evacuated for treatment. There are currently 220 people on the battlefield who can participate in the battle, and the logistics personnel stick to their posts!"

"Report from the Second Squadron: Three people died, 25 people were injured and have been evacuated for treatment. Currently, 300 people can participate in the battle!"

……

"All members of the mecha team survived, with an average of 60.00% energy left, and they can still fight for [-] hours!"

Ke Xia continued: "The Energy Department of the fortress reports the remaining energy."

"Report: The defense energy of the fortress is still enough to fire six ion cannons and ten hours of ion shields."

Everyone's hearts were raised, and a staff officer suggested: "Major General, should you report to the coalition command for rescue?"

Ke Xia said: "Which legion will be able to support nearby?"

A staff officer quickly said: "The Third Army sent 1000 people and a mecha team to support Prince Koye yesterday, so the commander of the coalition forces is very likely to send the First Army to support."

Ke Xia's face was stern: "I won't ask for help for now, all the staff will continue to fight!" His tone was firm, no one dared to disobey, everyone quickly obeyed the command and moved the battle position.

The second wave of insect swarms came again in a dark mass. The well-trained teams still skillfully drove away the insect swarm according to the previous tactics and waited for the ion cannon to drive them away. The second batch of worms still slammed into the ion shield like crazy, regardless of their own wings and bodies being scorched.

Someone in the command center gasped: "It's the first time I've seen such a swarm of insects colliding wildly. Before the protective cover of the human gathering place, the insects bumped into it once or twice, so they gave up looking for another weak place. Is there such an immortal? It’s like having a spiritual wisdom and enmity with us!”

"It's the first time I've seen it too."

Ke Xia suddenly said, "I've seen such a crazy Zerg once."

Mo Lin asked curiously, "When did the major general meet?"

Ke Xia stared at the swarm of insects scrambling for the first place and said, "A long time ago, I caught their females, cut off their wings and claws and dragged them behind the mecha, when I was flying their kites."

Everyone gasped, the scene suddenly turned cold, and a thought rose in everyone's mind: Sure enough, he is worthy of being a major general, and he really has enough—abnormally strong ability.

Ke Xia didn't continue to speak, and commanded calmly. After about half a week, seeing the insect swarm gradually being cleaned up again under his skillful command, the sentinel trembled again and exclaimed: "Report to the major general... Another swarm of insects has come! The number—the number is still about [-]!"

The entire command center seemed to be covered with ice, no one dared to look at the major general, tens of thousands of Zerg!Since the war with the Zerg, there has never been such a large-scale invasion of the Zerg at one time!

Someone already said with a trembling voice: "Major General, do you want to contact the coalition headquarters immediately and ask for rescue?"

Ke Xia's blue eyes seemed to be frozen, but there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "I can guarantee that the coalition command has known about it for a long time, and is waiting for our request for help. Once my signal is sent out, the First Army will be in order. The earth fell from the sky and stepped on my face to reap the exploits of all insects."

"Unfortunately, the word defeat has never been in my dictionary."

"I will take the credit for delivering it to my door!"

He said coldly: "Tianbao is ready to fight, and the personal guards will dispatch three mechas to fight together." He turned his head to look at the personal guards behind him, and Mo Lin quickly said: "Follow the order!"

Ke Xia was startled: "Where's Du Yin?"

Mo Lin said: "He said it was too late and he was afraid you would be hungry, so he went down and cooked you a bowl of noodles." Hesse laughed mockingly.

The situation was urgent, Ke Xia didn't say a word, strode into the Tianbao apron with a blank expression, quickly changed into the mech pilot suit, and drove Tianbao to lead the two mechas, Molin and Hesse, out of the fortress.

The starlight in the dark night sky has been covered by dark clouds. The giant iron giant swung a giant blade with a blue arc of light in his hand, and slashed at the swarm of insects with a volley of sword, "Boom!"

The night sky was quickly illuminated by white light as if it were daytime. Countless bugs were smashed into dust by the sword. The bugs fled in all directions, but the pitch-black giant suddenly turned its head and flew away, catching up to a group of main bugs nimbly again. Group, swing your sword again!

"boom!"

The huge knife light pierced the deep black sky. Shao Jun in the corridor of the fortress looked up at the sky again, then turned his head to Daniel on his shoulder and said, "Tianbao has fought, and there should be a third wave. It's so abnormal - can you see why? The ion shield is running out of energy. Once the fortress is breached, the Second Legion will be the first coalition army whose fortress is breached by the Zerg, even if the number of Zerg is unprecedented. Astonishing, defeat is defeat."

Rodin raised the star bud, stared at the Zerg who were still brave enough to hit the ion shield for a while, and murmured: "Do you know that a long time ago, there was a kind of insect that is now extinct, called locust? This insect is very Strange, they will avoid each other when the number of individuals is relatively small, but if a certain part of the hind legs is touched frequently, they will uncharacteristically change their living habits and like to gather in groups. Biologists gathered a large number of locusts to carry out The test found that when the number of locusts in a certain place exceeds a certain critical value, the locusts will no longer avoid each other, but will gather in groups and look for food in groups, forming a cloud-like locust swarm to prey on crops everywhere. People call it a plague of locusts."

Shao Jun looked up at those in the sky and said, "What do you mean?"

Luo Dan said: "When I presided over the research of this kind of Zerg, I hatched a few larvae for research. At that time, we found that when there were only a few larvae, they would not gather and live at all, but just avoided each other and looked for food separately. It made me feel very strange, but when a female appeared among the larvae, several males would even fight each other, competing for the sex rights with the female, until only the last male remained."

"This makes us feel very surprised, because the mutual exclusion of males is not like the description in the materials handed down by the human army. This is a kind of gregarious Zerg that gathers, protects females and eggs, and divides labor. Predation and hunting, gathering and roaming in groups."

"So at that time, I had a guess that this kind of Zerg was probably similar to locusts. When the number exceeded a certain threshold, they would have the habit of living in groups. Otherwise, the males would attack each other and kill each other in order to obtain the remaining females. Insect rights. But this speculation can only be speculation, because at that time we discovered that this kind of insect was really ferocious, and our conditions at that time did not allow us to do such a quantitative test. If they become the terrible group in the data records, then human beings will be irreparable."

"So we only made this assumption at the time, and did not conduct experiments to confirm it, but our speculation is recorded in the research materials and is intended to be used as a reference for future generations."

Shao Jun said: "So you suspect that groups of bugs like these are artificially cultivated by scientists who read your research notes back then?"

Luo Dan said: "It's very possible. In theory, if it was just hatching in a laboratory, it shouldn't be able to form such a large-scale swarm. We hatched a dozen or so back then, and none of them had the habit of living in groups. This should be because someone fixed them in a small place. In the venue, such a group of Zerg was consciously cultivated."

"According to what you said just now, they are divided into attacks, and each wave has a number of about [-], so I speculate that these are probably different swarms. The critical value of the newly bred swarm is likely to be in the About three thousand, from a conspiracy point of view, if you want to drive these males to attack a place so frantically..."

Shao Jun quickly thought of what Ke Xia said just now, and blurted out: "Female!"

Luo Dan said: "That's right, the sound waves of courtship or help from females will attract countless males to come forward, risking their lives to come. This is an instinct engraved in the genes."

"As long as this female worm is still emitting sound waves, the nearby male worms will definitely continue to rush in and attack wildly. No fortress can withstand such an attack."

"It doesn't have to be a living female. The sound waves of the Zerg have a specific frequency, but it is difficult to sample and conduct further imitation research. We tried to imitate it back then, but there were too few female eggs. We didn't have enough experimental samples, and we were just doing research. In the data, it was suggested that we could consider imitating the sound waves of female insects, so as to achieve the tactics of trapping and killing male insects. Of course, this also requires extremely strong combat effectiveness, and we were still not sure at that time."

However, it is obvious that Marshal Bruce finally researched it, cultivated and hatched a certain number of Zerg, and obtained enough experimental samples of female insects, so he developed a technology to imitate the sound waves of female insects, and did not use this technology to deal with Zerg, but use this technology without hesitation to attack fellow soldiers of the Alliance Army.

Once the Second Legion is defeated, there will be no promotion for the lieutenant general, and the First Legion who came to the rescue will take the honor into their pockets. The next step is to use this technology to wipe out the remaining Zerg. Promoted to general after the war.

Shao Jun raised his head and stared at the sky, the reflection of the battlefield in the sky was constantly flashing in his inorganic black eyes, the sky was densely packed with insects flapping their wings, and the steel giant in the distance was still risking his life to fight against the Zerg. Light sweeps through the hurricane.

He said indifferently: "A person's heart that rejects others is much scarier than bugs."

"We'll find the 'female'."

"There are still three hours, and the energy of the ion shield will be exhausted. We still have three hours."
