Chapter 144 Chapter 144 You can only fight for twelve minutes...
Nan Gua kept shaking his head and said, "No, it's just a minor injury, don't worry." Although he said that, there was a hint of panic in his tone as if he had been seen through.
Her breathing was rapid.
Nan Gua seemed to have noticed this himself, and tried to suppress his voice, saying steadily:
"I can handle this minor injury myself. No need to go to the medical bay. I want to stay on the battlefield and help everyone...hiss."
Perhaps it was the wound on his leg that touched him, and Nan Gua took a deep breath.
Tao Ying: “…”
There are four people in the Space Ghost Team, four of whom are stubborn.
Nan Gua kept his lips tightly closed, and it was obvious that he was not going to admit it no matter how much he was asked.
Tao Ying didn't ask any more questions, but simply scanned Nan Gua's physical condition through the Internet. After seeing the specific data, without hesitation, she said:
"Lin Biege, retreat. Send Nan Gua to the medical cabin."
"Retreat? Open your eyes and look, I don't have time for that... Hey!"
Lin Biege turned around and said nothing before he was attacked by the Zerg.
There was a sharp metallic friction sound coming from the other end. While talking to Tao Ying, Lin Biege was targeted by the Zerg and his mecha's left arm was nearly bitten off.
"Fortunately, I was able to dodge..."
Lin Biege's face was pale from the beating. He no longer even had the fear in his mind. He only felt the blood rushing to his head, burning. His mind could not hold anything else except the word "Zerg".
She came back to her senses and remembered that Tao Ying seemed to have something to ask her just now. What did he ask her to do?
Oh yes, send Nan Gua to the medical cabin.
Lin Biege held down his heart, which was about to burst out of his chest, and said to Tao Ying in a very fast and somewhat annoyed tone: "Aren't you closest to the starship?"
The implication is that Tao Ying could just pass the ball directly. It is a bit unreasonable to ask her to retreat from behind the defense line to pass the ball.
What's the point of going around in such a big circle?
Lin Biege shook the water from his head.
"Let's put all that aside for now. If I withdraw, who will fill the gap in the first line of defense?"
"Captain, wake up. Now is not the time to be confused."
Lin Biege originally had a loud voice, and now because the swarm of insects around her was too noisy, she subconsciously raised her voice even louder.
It's simply deafening.
Tao Ying covered half of her ears and responded twice.
It turned out that what Lin Biege said was not wrong. There were too many Zergs, and any troops in the first line of defense were precious. If Lin Biege withdrew and there was no one to fill the gap, the formation would easily collapse.
Tao Ying certainly considered this issue.
She nodded quickly.
"You're right, but I'm running out of time. So, let's time the rift to change and switch positions."
Lin Biege seemed to think he had heard it wrong: "What?"
What was she too late for? Why did she have to change positions?
Tao Ying tilted her head: "Didn't you understand? You mean I'm here to fill the gap."
"I understand. I'm not stupid... Who told you that? You're the one in charge, so why do you always like to be at the front?"
"This happens every time the situation gets dangerous. You better be more careful."
Lin Biege's mumbling could be heard from the other end. She obviously completely disagreed with Tao Ying's plan.
As Nan Gua was saying something like "I can still fight, no need to go to the medical cabin," Lin Biege said to Tao Ying in a firm tone:
"Stay still, you woman who can only fight for twelve minutes!"
What twelve minutes? Her physical condition has improved, and she can obviously fight for fifteen minutes now.
But Tao Ying was a very mature adult and did not want to argue with Lin Biege. She leaned her elbows on the operating table and smiled.
"Captain's orders, do you want to obey?"
·
The next rift would switch in five minutes. According to the pattern Tao Ying had discovered, the next location the rift would connect to was the Swiftdragon's nest. Tao Ying checked the records and found that most of the Zerg in this nest were C-level Swiftdragons, with the highest being A-level, which was somewhat weaker than the Octopus.
It is very suitable to take the opportunity to change the formation.
"As soon as I send the signal, we'll swap positions immediately. Bo Mo can provide support when he's free."
After saying this, Tao Ying once again confirmed Nan Gua's physical condition.
It's worse than before.
Blood pressure dropped, skin turned pale, and reactions became slightly sluggish... probably due to blood loss.
Must evacuate as soon as possible.
"Xiaoying, the three eight-legged spiders are starting to move." Nan Gua panted twice and reminded.
Tao Ying swung the cable and pressed his wrist. The light blade at the end of the cable flashed a cold light in the universe, and the eight-legged spider avoided it nimbly.
No hit.
But Tao Ying was not discouraged. She suddenly exerted strength, jumped forward, and poked her fingers at their biggest weakness - their eyes.
The ice hammer in her hand attracted their attention, and the light blade spun in the air and flew back. The eight-legged spider dodged to the left, but that was Tao Ying's trap. She took out a hidden knife from Hengwo's waist and quickly cut off their tentacles with a very neat movement.
Before everyone had time to be surprised, the three eight-legged spiders had lost contact with the Zerg's "command center".
“——!”
“——!”
The Zerg communicated with each other silently. They seemed to think that Tao Ying was a great threat. They began to circle cautiously in place, watching slowly and not in a hurry to launch an attack.
One of them stared at Tao Ying, and its black eyes turned in this direction from time to time. After being noticed by Tao Ying, it pretended not to notice and crawled towards the starship.
It's testing.
Tao Ying's eyes were stern, and the light blade in his hand was slightly tilted, reflecting the figure of the Zerg.
The Zerg hesitated for a moment, then was defeated in the confrontation with Tao Ying and retreated.
At the porthole of the starship, some wounded soldiers were observing the situation here. When they saw Tao Ying repelling three A-level Zergs alone, they all had expressions of amazement and shock on their faces.
"She is indeed very skilled."
In the distance, the Lemen Monitoring Center.
The dorsal side of Chester has been invaded by mimic Zerg, and the battle is imminent. Technicians are working intensively to provide support.
Ye Xinghui, Irina and Litiana kept their eyes fixed on Tao Ying in the universe.
"Her fighting movements are more fluid."
Litiana lowered her head in thought, "From what I know about Tao Ying, ten years ago, she was officially the director of the Laiji Institute, but secretly helped the mercenary group debug mechas to earn some funding for the institute. She was basically completely devoted to research and had no time to train to operate mechas at all."
Leaving aside someone in prison, the only person around Tao Ying who had actually been to the battlefield was Ji Yi.
But Ji Yi didn't have the patience to teach others.
Where did Tao Ying learn how to drive a mecha?
What surprised Litiana was not only his fighting style, but also Tao Ying's calmness in facing the Zerg without any fear.
Litiana had also been in the army, and her instructor at the time praised her for being very brave. However, when she first saw the Zerg on the battlefield, her legs felt like they were petrified, sinking heavily into the ground and she couldn't move at all.
That feeling of fear was still fresh in Litiana's memory.
The towering body of a creature not of my kind, with a cold and smooth shell dripping with slime.
That brought an overwhelming fear.
No matter how brave you are, or how confident you are in your abilities, whether it is the first, second, or third time you encounter the Zerg... Litiana can say with certainty that the trembling feeling is difficult to disappear after a few battles.
Occasionally, there are some pilots who like to pursue excitement or are very good at controlling their emotions and can pretend to be calm.
But Tao Ying is different from them all.
She didn't hide her emotions.
When others see the S-level insect queen appear, they are either panicked or desperate.
But Tao Ying didn't react much.
She was extremely calm and quickly accepted the reality. She subconsciously began to think of countermeasures and was even able to infer the cycle pattern of the cracks in the chaotic situation.
Now he is like a skilled soldier on the battlefield, cutting off the tentacles of three A-level Zergs in one fell swoop, making them afraid.
There is no other person in the universe who is as versatile as him.
Lytiana shook her head.
"How can a genius be so talented?"
"yes."
Anderson, the principal of Turantis, patted his suit with emotion and sat between Litiana and Ye Xinghui.
Just now, Anderson submitted some mechas and a large number of weapons from the hangar of the Turantis Tactical Academy as support supplies to the vicinity of the Thirteenth Rift.
Anderson came to the command center of Chester Star.
I had originally thought that I would observe the situation and then decide to head to the front line, but when I noticed the battle here, I suddenly stopped.
He couldn't take his eyes off Tao Ying.
"Has she really never been to the battlefield?"
"Her movements are like she's been battling the Zerg for a long time."
"Honestly, it reminds me of someone."
"who?"
Anderson shook his head nostalgically. "My comrade, the Grand Marshal of the Empire, and the founder of the Turantis Academy—Sylvia Storm."
·
Tao Ying raised her right hand and subconsciously pushed the non-existent brim of her hat in front of her forehead. Then she realized that this habit was strange and withdrew her hand.
There is still one minute left before the rift transforms. The three Zergs have been greatly weakened, and it is the best time to kill them.
Nan Gua stretched out his hand: "Xiaoying, let's attack together now, my ice hammer..."
Tao Ying calmly rejected her.
"Without your ice hammer, it's mine now. Stand still."
Tao Ying blocked Nan Gua behind him, swung out the cable, and a level A eight-legged spider wrapped around the tip.
The light blade was stuck in the gap between the eight-legged spider's head and abdomen, holding it firmly in place. The more it struggled, the tighter it got. However, the eight-legged spider's shell was too hard, and Tao Ying couldn't cut it off despite a lot of effort.
She thought about it, turned around and hit the eight-legged spider's abdomen with Nan Gua's ice hammer. A layer of white frost quickly spread from the center of the hit, and the eight-legged spider was frozen into an ice sculpture.
The eight-legged spider was frozen briefly, and its body made a crisp crackling sound. The cable in Tao Ying's hand tightened and contracted. In the death trap that was shrinking layer by layer and there was no escape, its body was strangled in the middle.
Kill one.
Tao Ying did not react much, but seemed to have achieved her goal. She quickly retracted the cable and began to think about her next move.
"Nan Gua, are you still awake? You can't sleep now, do you hear me?"
The team channel was very quiet, as if Nan Gua was asleep.
Tao Ying calmed down and said:
"If you don't answer, I'll post the entire contents of your sketchbook on the campus forum, including the parts that can't be broadcast."
"……don't want……"
Nan Gua seemed to be struggling to sit up. His voice became weaker, but fortunately he was still lucid.
Tao Ying glanced at the time.
"It will be soon, just hold on a little longer."
Seeing their companion cut into two pieces, the other two eight-legged spiders were obviously a little restless. They were afraid to move at first, but now the situation has become that if they don't move, they may die.
The two Zergs bumped into each other, as if they were communicating something.
Obviously, they came to a conclusion.
Sixteen eyes rolled around and finally stopped on Nan Gua. The eight-legged spider separated to the left and right, rustling around in circles and approaching step by step.
One of them seemed to be unintentionally trying to explore and pull out the Nan Gua.
Are you using your brain with her?
Tao Ying laughed, then wrapped the other end of the cable around the handle of the ice hammer.
Now the cable has a light blade on one end and an ice hammer on the other. When the weapons are combined, they look like a chain hammer.
The black mecha swung the cable, and the chain raised a cold arc.
