They must clear out the insectoid beasts within the defensive perimeter and around the wormhole as quickly as possible, enter the wormhole to drop biological bombs, and their comrades behind them are buying them time. They must finish this quickly!
Finally, they arrived at the edge of the wormhole, a bottomless abyss that exuded a terrifying darkness.
The biological bomb was mounted on Su Jinyan's mech. He stared at the wormhole below, seemingly ready to devour everything, his expression unchanged. He calmly sent a message to control center: "Arrived at the wormhole. Countdown to deploy biological bomb—"
Su Jinyan jumped into the wormhole. The countdown from the mecha echoed in his ears, as well as in the ears of everyone in the control center and in front of the large screen in the central square: "30, 29, 28..."
In that instant, everyone felt exhilarated, but they all suppressed the sound that wanted to burst from their throats, their hearts pounding in their throats, holding their breath with tension and excitement, waiting for the biological bomb to explode and the insect beasts to fall.
The mech warriors, who were fighting the insectoid beasts, seemed to regain their strength when they heard the countdown, letting out a roar of exclamation.
They roared as they ripped open the insect beast's tough hide and thrust their weapons into its body!
"20, 19, 18—" Xia Linyin silently counted down while guarding the wormhole and fighting off the approaching insect beasts with her companions.
"Unidentified creatures detected approaching the mech at a speed of 1000 meters per second. Number: Unknown. Distance from mech: meters, meters, meters, 9000 meters..."
The detector was covered with countless red dots. As the distance closed, the red dots gradually expanded. In the cockpit, the two countdown sounds merged together, turning the originally exciting countdown sound into a death knell. This huge change caught everyone off guard. What were those suddenly appearing unidentified creatures?
Inside the mecha, Su Jinyan was calmer and more composed than the others. When the detector detected an unidentified creature, he locked onto one of the red dots, magnified it, and scanned it.
Su Yu stared at the images transmitted back synchronously on the quantum computer, rapidly typing on the virtual keyboard. Suddenly, his pupils constricted, and he shouted into the communicator, "It's a new type of insectoid beast! A beast with a higher danger level than the existing ones! Jin Yan, come back quickly! Retreat immediately!!!"
Almost at the same time as Su Yu's roar, Su Jinyan activated the anti-propulsion device on the bottom of the mecha's feet. Blue flames shot out from the bottom of the feet, and the mecha shot towards the cave entrance like an arrow.
"Attention all departments! Attention all departments! An unknown new type of insectoid beast has appeared! An unknown new type of insectoid beast has appeared!"
The research base was in a flurry of activity, activating emergency plans and deploying new combat strategies. However, on the battlefield, every second counted. Almost as soon as Su Jinyan rushed out of the wormhole, the new insectoid beasts that suddenly appeared followed closely behind, revealing their true forms.
They were enormous worms, disgusting and grotesque, with no discernible head or tail. They opened one side of their bodies, where their mouths should have been, revealing rings of constantly expanding and contracting fleshy buds. Their huge, slippery bodies writhed a few times, and then, one after another, thick, long tongues shot out from their mouths.
Like tenacious vines, they attacked the surrounding mechs, tightly binding their limbs. Even more terrifying, a corrosive liquid was secreted from their tongues, "splattering" and corroding holes into the mechs' hard shells!
Xia Linyin swung her spinning knife at the tongue that was wrapped around her neck. Yellow corrosive liquid spurted from the severed end of the tongue, and the piece of tongue that fell onto the sand writhed and curled up like a giant python with a severed tail.
Then something astonishing happened: the worm flicked its long tongue, which had been cut off, and a new tongue grew from the severed end! And it grew two tongues, just like a snake's forked tongue!
While Xia Linyin and her companions were trapped by the worms, their companions on the other side, who were fighting against the insect beasts and guarding the defensive line, were in an equally dire situation, with more and more insect beasts rushing towards them.
"Roar!!!" Several insectoid beasts pounced on a mech, their hard, sharp teeth biting into the mech's already shattered head and tearing it apart fiercely!
Seawater surged into the cockpit, and the last image reflected in the mech warrior's pupils was the gaping maw of the insectoid beast.
"We can't hold on! We're about to lose!"
In the central square, watching the battle being broadcast live on the screen above, suppressed sobs rose from the crowd. They covered their mouths tightly, and hot tears rolled down their cheeks!
Others clasped their hands together in prayer, praying for the soldiers fighting valiantly on the battlefield, for humanity, and for the Earth!
But some people looked at the image above with deep sorrow and despair in their eyes.
The prolonged and intense fighting had almost exhausted Xia Linyin's strength. The "Demon Sound" was becoming increasingly corroded, water was leaking from the cockpit, sparks and electric flashes were flying everywhere, and seawater was dripping down.
"Warning! Warning! Warning! Foreign object intrusion!"
A piercing alarm blared throughout the cockpit, and red lights flashed incessantly. At the neck of the mech, a worm's long tongue had torn open a small hole and was struggling to burrow inside.
Xia Linyin opened her chest, and a hypersonic cruise missile was launched, blasting all the dense worms around the wormhole into dust!
The surging waves of the explosion swept over Xia Linyin, who was pushed backward for hundreds of meters before coming to a stop. The massive mecha swayed and knelt on one knee.
"Level One Alert! Some functions of the mech have been lost!"
From all directions, worms slithered toward the badly damaged Demon Sound, their countless long tongues weaving into a large net. Just as the net was about to cover Xia Linyin, a blinding flash of lightning appeared, and a black mech wielded a metal chain crackling with powerful electricity, sweeping across the worms.
Xiao Li swung the metal chain, smashing a worm in two. She then came to Xia Linyin's side and released her powerful mental energy, shattering nearby worms into pieces!
After helping Xia Linyin up and setting up a mental barrier, Xiao Li turned on the communicator and asked directly, "Su Yu, how many mechs are left in the base?"
"1100 bodies," Su Yu replied directly.
"Send all these mechs over as quickly as possible." Xiao Li said before turning off the communicator.
"What does he need these mechs for? He doesn't want to control them all at the same time, does he? Is he crazy? How is that possible?"
Those around Su Yu gasped in surprise. Ordinary people cannot control mechs. Only mech warriors injected with the X virus can control one mech, and that is through neural connections.
