Because the commandos' cutting-edge combat force is not at the base, in order to reduce the possibility of the Zerg noticing something is wrong from the reduced number of mechas.
The person in charge proposed ten S-class Alphas to form a team to make up for the difference in numbers.
But the gap in strength is irreparable. In the past, they could kill more than one-third of the high-level Zerg in the Zerg tide after fighting with them for a whole day.
But these days, they have to spend twice as much time on the battlefield to achieve previous results.
Moreover, everyone who was fighting the Zerg in close combat was not feeling well.
They discovered something was wrong during their daily battles with the Zerg.
It seemed that the Zerg discovered that there was a problem with their commando team. The number of high-level Zerg sent out every day was increasing, and some low-level Zerg that had never been seen before also joined the battlefield.
Those low-level Zergs are extremely ugly in appearance, and seem to have gathered the excellent genes of many types of Zergs.
It is huge, almost as big as a mecha, its body is covered by a hard shell, and there is also an armor-like shell on its back.
Its front legs are shaped like the legs of crustaceans and crabs, and it can destroy the light armor on a soldier's body with a light pinch. Apart from having no brain, it has almost no other shortcomings.
It is simply the best weapon for the Zerg to clear the way.
At the beginning they were not prepared, so many soldiers who were driving light mechas to defend against the enemy were seriously injured.
Fortunately, the commander had been paying attention to the battle situation. When he found something wrong, he immediately ordered a retreat to the city wall.
Then they used cryogenic nitrogen missiles to eliminate most of the strange Zerg.
The Zerg can be said to be the Federation's arch-enemy. The long-term war with the Zerg has made the Federation's research on the Zerg more and more in-depth.
Because the Zerg gene is highly uncontrollable, the Federation's initial battles against the Zerg in history were due to a lack of understanding of this characteristic.
The use of terrifyingly powerful radioactive missiles destroyed countless Zergs, but also caused the Zergs to be deformed by the radioactive substances produced by the missile explosions, but their strength increased dramatically.
From then on, the Federation banned the use of radioactive strike weapons on the battlefield with the Zerg.
In the history of the Federation, the method of sterilizing the insect queen was even proposed, but after experiments, this method was found to be completely unfeasible.
The worm queen is a creature that completely deviates from the laws of nature. Reproducing offspring seems to have become a rule in their nature. After sterilization, they will devour power and restore lost organs such as the birth canal.
The only way to contain the Zerg is to kill the Queen, and then it's only a matter of time before the rest of the Zerg are wiped out.
However, the Zerg are also very cunning. They will hide their eggs in the planets they have devoured in the past.
Even if they die, the Zerg will not perish.
As long as the right opportunity is waited for, the mother insect will be re-differentiated from one of the eggs and begin to reproduce.
Therefore, the war between humans and Zerg will never end. After the Zerg Queen dies, they will come back again in decades or even hundreds of years.
However, Song Sanniang felt that if there were no external Zerg threat, the federal regime might have changed several times.
Because of external worries, the internal troubles have been suppressed, but now they have probably reached their limit, just waiting for a fuse...
While thinking about the love-hate relationship between the Federation and the Zerg, Song Sanniang was also pondering the possible future of the Federation.
Another part of my attention was focused on listening to the speech of the person in charge above.
Just as the Zerg retreated tonight, they received a message from the Suicide Squad.
They successfully entered the Zerg nest, found out the situation inside the nest, and found the location of the Zerg Queen, but were trapped in a cave.
They were very close to the insect queen and could be seen by just looking out.
The dilemma they faced was that they couldn't get out. The area within a few hundred meters centered on the Zerg Queen was full of high-level Zergs. As soon as they went out, they would be discovered and stopped.
With the number of higher-level Zerg in the hive, perhaps they would not be able to get close to the Zerg Queen and would be dragged to death by the higher-level Zerg due to their numbers.
Doing so will have no other effect except alerting the Zerg and increasing their defensiveness.
So they need base support to lure away some of the higher-level Zerg in the Zerg nest.
After the above discussion, they decided to select another suicide squad to enter the planet where the insect mother was. In addition, the base and the two adjacent bases borrowed several spaceships.
Arrange some soldiers using light mechas as reinforcements to support their retreat at critical moments.
This time Xiao Junyi was selected, and Song Sanniang was also on the list.
When Song Sanniang heard the boss above call her name, she had a sense of fate that it was just as she expected.
The same was true for Xiao Junyi. She didn't think it was fate, but she felt that the dark clouds that had been weighing on her heart for the past few days had finally dissipated, and her body and mind felt a little more relaxed.
She was not afraid of death, but when she thought of the worry in Youle's eyes before she left, a hint of guilt rose in her heart.
She finally broke her promise.
She didn't have much time to feel sad. After the boss on the stage announced the news, he immediately gathered the few people who were called and entered the spaceship.
Although Wen Shao did not mention the situation they were facing, they were in the center of the insect nest and were at risk of being exposed at all times.
The earlier they arrive, the greater their chances of success.
After getting on the spaceship, Song Sanniang and the others were surprised that the person in charge did not get off, but set off with them to the planet where the Insect Mother was.
On the spacecraft, the person in charge quickly updated them on the situation on the planet.
That was all the Zerg information collected by the Suicide Squad after they landed on that planet.
And where Wen Shao is.
Song Sanniang and the others quickly wrote down the route and reconstructed it in their minds.
After making sure they have taken note, the person in charge turns to the next page and continues making arrangements.
"Remember your mission. As long as you can lure those high-level Zerg out of the hive, we will support you."
Hearing this, a tragic look appeared on the faces of several people.
Although the person in charge sounded optimistic, they all knew it.
With their strength, it may be easy to sneak into the insect nest, but once they are exposed, they will be surrounded by enemies from all directions, from the sky to the ground, and their chances of survival are extremely low.
The person in charge's words were just to give them hope.
Because they want to protect the Federation in their bones. It's where they grew up and where they have family and friends they care about. So they know what they are about to face, but they still come.
They won't back down.
Soon, they arrived at the planet where the insect mother was.
Because the Zerg Queen is laying eggs every moment, in addition to the lower-level Zerg, it also requires a lot of energy to breed a group of higher-level Zerg.
The places where they are located are planets that have been plundered by the Zerg led by their predecessors (previous generation Zerg Queens). Even after hundreds of years of recovery, the energy on them is still pitifully small.
In order to provide the insect queen with energy for reproduction, the insect queen will not be too far away from the battlefield.
This provides them with an opportunity.
