From the landing point of the spaceship to the sending point of the distress signal, Rayton and the others encountered several small bug swarms on the way.Although the scale of the bug swarm is not large, and the types of Zerg are not difficult to deal with, the cooperation between them is very tacit. They no longer rely on numbers and individual strength to win as in the past, but have formed their own unique tactics. , just like a battle between humans, Rayton and the others were caught off guard.
Zerg actually developed advanced intelligence? !This kind of thought jumped into Leiton's mind again, but he had a vague intuition that this was not the final answer.
As the bug swarm attacked again and again, Leiton and the others deviated from their original route and were forced to go to a relatively hidden place to rest for a while.Although none of the fighters died, they were all wounded to one degree or another, several of them seriously.Rayton ordered those soldiers with relatively minor injuries to take turns to stand guard, while the seriously injured soldiers should undergo some appropriate medical treatment to prevent their injuries from aggravating.
Beside the chariot, a soldier knocked on the alarm: "That's weird."
"What's the matter?" Another soldier asked, poking his head out.
"Is there something wrong with this device? Why didn't it detect the bug swarms just now?" The soldier checked the alarm device over and over again, but still didn't find any problem with it.
"Maybe it's because the Zerg mutated?"
"I don't know, I don't think there is a mutation, why don't we ask the commander... Eh?! Commander!" The soldier turned his head and saw Leiton standing beside him, looking at the alarm with a serious face.
"I'm afraid things are not that simple." Reyton said while pondering, "Now check if the coordinates of our battleship's landing point are different from before."
In order to facilitate communication, each battleship will regularly send pulse radio waves, and the battleship can be positioned by receiving these radio waves.
A soldier hastily picked up the locator and entered relevant instructions.Sure enough, the locator showed that the coordinates of the landing point were significantly different from before——
"How could this happen!" The soldier exclaimed, he didn't believe that the people staying on the battleship would move the ship at will, because it was completely unnecessary and dangerous, and it required a lot of energy to start and land the ship. The choice of the landing point is not so easy.
"This planet is weird. There must be some kind of substance in it that can disrupt our electromagnetic wave signals. I'm afraid the distress signal sending point we located before is also wrong. It is an illusion after being disturbed by that kind of substance."
A chill rose from the backs of the two soldiers. It would be fine if the substance that disrupted the electromagnetic wave signal was dead, but if it was intentionally done by a living creature, I'm afraid they have all fallen into a trap now!
It was precisely this that Leiyton thought of, and the expression on his face became more serious.He ordered that all the soldiers should always pay attention to the movement around them, and report immediately if they found something wrong.
Since this planet was occupied by the Zerg, there was very little vegetation on it, and the bare land was desolate. The cross wind blowing from time to time was like whimpering and crying, which made the already tense soldiers feel even more creepy.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound not far away, like the friction sound of something being dragged on the ground. The soldiers who were still talking in low voices quickly stopped and looked at each other. Seeing the look of vigilance in the other party's eyes, everyone made a posture of being ready.
The silence made the dragging sound more obvious, and everyone's hearts hung high, ready to face the battle at any time.
As the sound got closer, someone could distinguish the sound of footsteps in it——
"It seems... a human?"
Sure enough, after a while, several stumbling figures flashed into the hiding place where Leiton and the others were.
"Commander...we finally found you..." The leader described himself in a panic, and fell to the ground with a "plop" before he reached the ground. His body was covered with large and small wounds, which looked extremely terrifying. .The few people behind him also shuffled over with a look of extreme exhaustion. Seeing their comrades-in-arms all around, their expressions relaxed, and they fell to the ground one after another.
Leyton jumped off the mecha, strode over, carefully helped up the person who broke in first, and wiped his face with his big palm, the dirt on it fell rustlingly, revealing a A resolute and upright face.
"Albert?" Leiton was surprised and heavy in his heart.Surprisingly, Albert's team, which was ordered to look for Ander and the others, was not completely wiped out, and the situation was much better than he expected; what is heavy is that only these few people were found here, and I am afraid that the rest It's already more ominous... This planet is too weird, and everything makes Rayton feel uneasy.
"Commander!" Albert grabbed Leiton's wrist violently, "We...we found Colonel Ander and the others...but...but..."
"Don't worry, speak slowly."
"However, our team couldn't save them, and...we were discovered by the Zerg...we were the only ones who escaped, and the rest were probably captured and used as nourishment."
"As nourishment?"
"The larvae need nutrients, and they are targeting those of us who broke into this planet..." Albert lowered his head and said in a trembling voice.
"Then...then Colonel Ander and the others..." A recruit couldn't help but choked up with tears.He was brought up by Ander alone. Although he was not assigned to Ander in the end, his affection for Ander was still very deep.
"When we found them, because the larvae hadn't hatched yet, they were safe for the time being. They just fainted. Now...it's hard to say." Albert clenched his fists, his face full of grief and indignation pain.
"Don't give up even a sliver of hope. Take me to have a look now. Seriously injured and technical soldiers stay here. Those who are slightly injured can go with us if they want to go with us. The rest stay here." Rayton said, and took a picture. Patting Albert on the shoulder, "When you get there, you can just point out the place directly, and you don't have to follow us in. Your injury is not suitable for continuing to fight."
"Commander, I'd better go in with you. These wounds are just scary looking, and they didn't hurt any muscles. The environment inside is very complicated. Without me leading you, it will take a long time to find where Colonel Ander and the others are... …By the way, the mecha does not play a big role there, but it is a burden, it is best not to drive the mecha in.”
Rayton nodded, and then patted Albert on the shoulder.
Albert led Rayton and the others to the entrance of a cave.Looking at the cave, Leiton finally understood why Albert said "the mecha is a burden", because its caliber is not large, and the inside seems to continue to narrow, making it difficult for the mecha to stretch out inside.
"It seems that these Zerg are not big." Leiton pondered.
"This kind of Zerg has to go through three transformations from larvae to adulthood. The first and second times it is only about the same size, and it will be more than this size when it finally becomes an adult." Albert explained, obviously very fond of this kind of Zerg. familiar.
Rayton nodded, pursed his lips, and cautiously walked in first, followed by Albert and some soldiers and generals who voluntarily followed.
"If you can't persist, just say so, you don't have to force it." Leiton turned his head and explained again.
"It's okay. Commander, you should also be careful. There are quite a few dark holes here. If you fall into them, you may directly fall into the venom of the bugs." Albert replied.
"Okay." Leiton faced forward again, and behind him, Albert, who had been reminding him to be careful, looked at the back of his head heavily, and a dark light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
There were no particularly powerful Zergs encountered along the way, and Leiton and his subordinates wiped out those Zergs in twos and threes.However, unlike his subordinates who were getting more and more relaxed, Leiyton felt that this smoothness was abnormal, and he became more vigilant the further he walked.
"Commander, take a quick look here. This is the mark I made, and it is very close to Colonel Ander's location." Albert said, pointing to an arrow carved with a wind blade.
Leiyton looked ahead, but it was still too dark to see the end.
"Go." Reyton suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and continued walking in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Albert was right. After walking for a while, an open area suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.This is a huge domed cave, and there are many small dark holes on the cave wall, which should be the entrances of this worm nest in all directions.The bottom of the cave is densely packed with insect eggs wrapped in translucent films.If you look carefully, you can still see the liquid in the eggs and the floating unformed insects, which is disgusting.
"What about Ander and the others?" Leiton frowned.
"It...was there before..." Albert replied in an unbelievable tone, "They were lying underneath before."
"Could it be... was it eaten?" A soldier widened his eyes in horror.
At this moment, the sound of "click, click, click" came from all directions, coming from the small hole in the cave wall.Albert gasped: "They're back!"
As soon as Albert finished speaking, countless black worms crawled out of the small hole, and swarmed towards Leiton and the others one by one. The hard worm limbs hit the ground, and there was a "click!" The sound of "click", like a life-threatening note.
"Damn!" Some soldiers couldn't help cursing, but they were not timid.Under Rayton's command, they quickly formed a combat formation, forming a strong protective belt based on their magical characteristics and personal strength, and gathered towards the central insect eggs while fighting.
According to experience, in order to avoid hurting the larvae, these bugs tend to be less aggressive near the eggs.
However, many things on this planet obviously cannot be deduced by common sense. These bugs did not slow down their attack power because of the bug eggs underneath, but instead seemed to be irritated by something, and launched an attack on Leiton and the others without hesitation. attacked.Soon, many insect eggs were pierced by the indiscriminate attacks of those insects, and the viscous liquid flowed all over the ground.
"Damn it! It's disgusting!" The sergeants led by Rayton endured the strong stench and continued to fight.Gradually, because there were too many Zerg, the formation among them was disrupted and scattered.
Rayton was entangled by a huge bug that was obviously the king of bugs.He calmly avoided the attacks of the insect king, took the opportunity to find the weakness of the insect king, and tried his best to hit one hit, so as not to waste too much mental power and magic power.
found it!Lei Dun's eyes widened, and he quickly condensed a thunder ball, and threw it at a disc-shaped piece of soft flesh under the worm king's stomach. The worm king let out a sharp cry, his limbs stiffened, and his movements were slow for a few seconds. .Immediately after, Leiyton gathered a huge fire knife in his hand, and slashed at the worm king viciously. Before the worm king could escape, he was split in half alive, but...
"Oh!" Leiton snorted, his pupils dilated instantly.He turned his head in surprise, and Albert looked at him with a complicated expression. He held a laser sword in his hand, pierced straight into his waist, and pierced out from his abdomen.
"You..." Leiton couldn't believe that Albert, who had always been upright and honest, would betray him under such circumstances.
Albert didn't give Leiton a chance to continue speaking. As if he was afraid that he would repent, he quickly took out a dose of medicine, plunged it into the back of Leiton's neck, and pushed the medicine into it.Although Albert's expression was calm, his hands were trembling slightly, and his breathing became heavy and disordered.
"Commander, I'm sorry...I had to do this for her sake." Albert said with a confused look. This was the last scene Rayton saw before he fell down.
Zerg actually developed advanced intelligence? !This kind of thought jumped into Leiton's mind again, but he had a vague intuition that this was not the final answer.
As the bug swarm attacked again and again, Leiton and the others deviated from their original route and were forced to go to a relatively hidden place to rest for a while.Although none of the fighters died, they were all wounded to one degree or another, several of them seriously.Rayton ordered those soldiers with relatively minor injuries to take turns to stand guard, while the seriously injured soldiers should undergo some appropriate medical treatment to prevent their injuries from aggravating.
