Chapter 75: War Date
Fitzgerald paused slightly, and with the help of the huge rock, he temporarily avoided the Zerg infantrymen that were chasing him from behind.
In this moment of respite, the red-haired alpha closed his eyes slightly and used half of his mental power to achieve a deeper human-machine synchronization with the Dark Flame Mecha. He needed a perspective that could overlook the hive and monitor the overall situation.
Instantly! Dark Flame, which entered the state of human-machine synchronization, became more agile and flexible! It quickly bombed the "gold-eating bugs" that were constantly besieging the surface, and then started the engine without any hesitation and returned to deep space.
Deep sky scan begins——
0.5 seconds later he achieved a satisfactory result.
Judging from the gaps in the defense lines that were sneaked through and broken through along the way, the defense range of the so-called "worm nest" is almost as vast as the entire black hole galaxy, and the so-called "absolute domain" of the queen - the beehive, has actually occupied the entire planetary orbit.
In the orbits of these planets, there are also countless "space spores" that are difficult for human eyes to detect. They are a kind of "biological gene screener" that can be automatically detonated, half plant and half organism. They are raised and cultivated by the Zerg and used to closely monitor the invasion of alien races.
After Dark Flame sneaked in, those 'space spores' were multiplying crazily in the planet's orbit, and the retreat route was obviously blocked!
Under the helmet of the skeleton armor, the red-haired alpha's calm and almost ruthless gray eyes reflected the flickering light of data. The holographic images of this "worm star" from various perspectives flashed rapidly frame by frame.
Judging from the appearance alone, this is just an ordinary mineral planet, with the same bare surface full of meteorite craters as all mineral planets.
However, Fitzgerald knew that the huge mineral planet with a diameter of 29,000 km was almost completely hollowed out to become the nest of the Zerg. This cosmic race wandering in outer space, relying on rapid and flexible gene stacking, through the accumulation of generations of worms, can be said to have almost reached the pinnacle of planet building in the development of the "biotechnology tree".
Dark Flame's holographic scanning and modeling can only reach 7,800 meters into the mantle, and it cannot go any further without alerting the Zerg.
Somewhere hidden deep in the core of the earth, which is currently unreachable, is the 'nest' of the queen of the Zerg.
The ultimate purpose of his trip is in the "Nest Heart".
Now, he just needed to find a 'clever' entrance and get in quickly.
Fitzgerald cast his eyes towards the ordinary hill 500 meters away. At first glance, there was nothing unusual except for the huge black rock on the top of the hill, which was as flat as if it had been carved by humans.
But he knew that was the first step to the entrance to the 'Nest Heart'.
After Fitzgerald gave the Dark Flame Intelligence Computer the command to "hide" in the mental link, he completely shifted his attention to the boulder.
He closed his eyes slightly, and a long wave of powerful mental power spread out!
The first barrier of the entrance to the Nest Heart was completely revealed by the mental scan of this peak human. On the originally smooth and dark boulder, there was a seventh-order soldier insect circling as if in deep sleep. It was a "flying dragon" connected head to tail, and its huge insect body tightly and seamlessly blocked the entrance to the Nest Heart.
Before the dragon's body was energized, it was already terrifyingly large, almost covering the entire hill. Once it was fully energized, each limb of the body would stretch from hundreds to thousands of meters, and the energy field film formed after the bioelectric current was charged and flew could even allow them to travel in the universe. In this state, each dragon could even merge with each other and effortlessly block the sky above the entire target planet.
Now, the horns of this flying dragon, which had not yet been startled, twitched briefly, and its head hung heavily on the ground. Its long body was crawling on the wet boulders, and it was covered with keratinized gray scales. At this moment, it was loyally guarding the main entrance of the tribe.
Now that An Yan's coordinates have been exposed, simulating the signal wave infiltration is a method with a failure rate of up to 80%.
What should he do?
Hard entry.
With the strength of a single soldier, he broke through the first line of defense of the "Inner Nest" guarded by the seventh-level "Flying Dragon".
But after going deep into the "Heart of the Nest", they will inevitably lose contact with the mecha and the First Fortress. Fitzgerald gave the final order neatly in the remote human-machine link.
Then he took action.
*
Without any pause, relying only on the jet force of his mecha exoskeleton, he passed the disguised insect nest trap on this mineral planet with triple gravity and rushed straight towards the dark boulder on the hill.
Boom——!
Extremely clean and efficient, the preset micro-nuclear bomb exploded on the spot the moment he was ejected.
0.1 second later, this arrogant human would have been swallowed up by the exploding nuclear energy, but he not only avoided it with precision and almost indifference, but also used the chaotic energy field caused by the explosion of the micro-nuclear bomb to approach the preset target point little by little.
Boom!
Boom——!
This is a risky move! Under the cover of the aftermath of the explosions, the startled seventh-tier dragon began to raise its head and actively search for the invader who launched the harassing attack. It knew that the 'invader' was approaching it amid the explosions!
It has obtained information about the invasion of "alien races" in the Zerg's "thinking network" and received the highest order from its superior "brain worm" to kill them all!
However, as the most solid defense of the Nest Heart, it is unable to detect the intruders who are currently provoking it!
As a high-level soldier insect with both offensive and defensive capabilities, it follows the principle of "strength trumps all skills" in its genetic structure and does not intend to conduct careful searches and one-on-one attacks like other types of soldiers such as reconnaissance insect soldiers. Its attacks have always been ruthless and sweeping!
The enraged seventh-order flying dragon raised its head and gave up searching for traces of invasion. It opened its mouth and a dazzling beam of light shot out from its semi-energized insect head!
That was a 'bioplasma bomb'. The energy of a million volts even caused the surrounding air to begin to distort slightly. The beam of light engulfed all organic life forms wherever it reached, and even the reconnaissance insect soldiers who came to chase and search for 'aliens' in the vast hills were not spared.
The huge amount of energy ionization produced extremely serious smoke and haze, and like countless times before, everything ended quickly.
The lazy seventh-tier 'flying dragon' once again lowered its head and crawled around, perched on top of the boulder.
However--
After the smoke and haze produced by the ionization gradually dissipated, a humanoid "alien" appeared less than ten meters away from the seventh-level "flying dragon".
The exoskeleton of this "alien" mecha was already in tatters, and the only intact part was the signal helmet that he was holding slowly in his hand.
The red-haired alpha of the Empire raised his head slightly, and walked out of the deliberately created ionized haze very comfortably and slowly. He looked intact, and even had a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
As the smoke dissipated, the ice-blue mental barrier gradually shrank and calmed down.
Just so abruptly, he stood under the soft belly of this huge "flying dragon", and his gray eyes coldly swept over the thirteenth limb, which was firmly covered by hard armor!
He slowly stretched out his hand, and a strong, crackling electric current began to wrap around the strong forearm of this human being.
"I'll lend you the crystal core."
This is the last mental wave signal received by this seventh-level "flying dragon".
But unlike the previous ZT006, before it had time to upload this information to the Zerg's 'mind network', it was severely cut off from all signal communication waves in the brain area by the powerful invading mental force.
This was the first time it had lost spiritual contact with its own kind, but before it had time to adapt to this "network blind spot" single-soldier combat method, it was forcibly pulled back into its current predicament by severe pain!
The huge insect body rolled over, bound by the sharp blade materialized by the opponent's powerful mental power, and strangled section by section. This seventh-level "flying dragon" lost its mind and became furious!
And for the invading "aliens", all of this was a rare, bloody pleasure of wanton killing.
The originally bright flame color gradually turned half gray. In the elegant and brutal killing, the killing instinct in his genes made him raise his head slightly as if enjoying it.
His cold and ruthless grey eyes had silver pupil patterns due to his extreme excitement. Although he still looked human, the keratinization on his face gave him an inhuman quality.
Strong and violent.
This is Fitzgerald, but it doesn't seem like he is.
*
The commotion of slaughtering a flying dragon is no small feat.
Although the killing process was artificially interrupted and could not be shared in the 'Zerg Thought Network', the Zerg Queen deep in the core of this mineral planet was completely shocked!
I originally thought it was just an ordinary alien invasion test, but I didn't expect that the other party could break through the attack and defense of the seventh-level "flying dragon" in one fell swoop.
The Zerg Queen's short forelimbs once again struck the steps at a frequency of three long and five short.
Under the huge throne, one of the five king insects that were waiting respectfully stood out from the line. Then it raised its head and waved its tentacles a few times, and after receiving the order, it slowly withdrew from the warm and humid "Nest Heart" meeting room.
The Queen was not worried about the invasion.
It is troubled by the current sticky state of the Great Wilderness Star Region!
Quite annoying!
*
In the Great Wilderness Galaxy, the planet BV32-II is blocked by three "flying dragons" at full power.
For the Zerg army that was under pressure from all fronts, this was originally a battle where the strong and the weak were immediately determined, a one-sided, crushing confrontation.
As for Su Xi and the others, after Chris gave the order to 'break through', they were slammed back to the ground by the blocking energy field created by the seventh-order 'flying dragon' in the fully energized state of the Zerg.
After a burst of blue light from the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle, the engine damage rate reached 75%, and even the invisible force field was difficult to maintain. However, this well-coordinated team responded quickly!
After falling into the troposphere of planet BV32-II, the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle managed to stabilize its flight and entered into an emergency repair and battle!
As the 'Flying Dragon' suppressed the planetary energy, a dark hole seemed to be torn in the sky.
Countless Zerg flying soldiers, the 'three-legged flying insects', whose heads are as big as interstellar human home aircraft, landed in the atmosphere of the planet BV32-II. They frantically chased the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle falling from mid-air.
Just like bloodthirsty mosquitoes and ants, they attack in groups, determined to devour the target they are chasing!
After a few brief exchanges, Gary's Mobile B Team, five top special forces alphas, quickly entered the mecha loading bay. As the Sun Swallow Shuttle was falling, its tail was firmly protected by a flying mecha, while the other four flew into the air and engaged in a duel with the group of "three-legged flying insects".
And the inner cabin of the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle.
During the decline, Chris did not forget to take care of Su Xi first. However, to her surprise, this omega, apart from looking a little pale, reacted to the crisis very quickly with his body instincts.
Su Xi calmed herself down in the chaos and nodded to Chris.
Chris gave her a soothing yet slightly worried look, then resolutely turned around and got involved in handling the current crisis.
As she continued to fall, and as everyone responded quickly, Su Xi's consciousness once again involuntarily sank into the mysterious feeling she had experienced before. The call from the core of the planet resounded in the deepest part of her brain.
'Come'
'Come here'
“Please, please—”
Su Xi took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and woke up from that terrible pulling feeling!
Although the interior of the Sun Devourer shuttle was still in chaos, they quickly came to their senses in this sudden change and responded in a well-trained manner. They paid the price of two mechas, rescued the engine of the Sun Devourer shuttle, and temporarily wiped out the group of "three-legged flying insects" that coveted the "Sun Devourer beast core".
However, there was no time to grieve or mourn, as they all knew that the attack by the 'three-legged flying insect' was only the beginning.
The insect soldiers continued to emerge, and the planetary exits and migration passages were tightly blocked.
Without reinforcements, let alone sending this "golden insect egg" out of the Great Wilderness Star Region, even their chances of survival are extremely low.
The atmosphere inside the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle became heavy.
Without giving them much time to think, Chris made a decision: "Mary, search the ground and find cover. We will stop on the ground. We will focus on hiding and guerrilla warfare! We must hold on until reinforcements arrive!"
"At the same time, please be sure to rely on yourselves! The Sun-Swallowing Shuttle's leap energy must be conserved, waiting for an opportunity to send this 'egg' out of the Great Wilderness Star Region."
"yes!"
"yes!"
Everyone was determined, and no one mentioned the two lost mechas and... comrades.
The Sun-Swallowing Shuttle, having lost its cloaking force field, began to spiral downward.
However--
Because of the powerful energy impact of the seventh-level Zerg 'Flying Dragon', the magnetic polarity storm on the planet BV-32II has inductively accelerated the more crazy vibrations!
The Class A shock wave caused by the magnetic storm will soon reach the surface from the center of the earth!
The ground isn't the best place to hide.
At this moment, a surprised whisper suddenly broke the solemn atmosphere in the cabin.
"It seems that this planet does not welcome guests from afar." Su Xi opened her amber eyes and looked at the puzzled expressions of the crowd.
"It doesn't welcome us either, but," she said word by word with a slow, puzzled look, "Its cry? Hoping to drive away... the 'parasite'?"
Su Xi walked to Allen's side and pressed the spiritual communication instrument with her left hand.
"Maybe we have a chance to make a complete comeback."
Outside the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle, the magnetic storms caused by the periodic magnetic pole adjustments of the planet BV32-II are gradually intensifying. From the perspective of the surveillance satellite that Chris and his team had placed before, the mountains are slowly collapsing, the plates are drifting, the originally sunken valleys are arching up to become plains, and the previous plateau ammonia frozen lakes are gradually moving downwards... The frozen ammonia is melting, and the moisture is flowing into the deep sea under the crust...
Stronger cosmic radiation invaded the surface, but fortunately the weak charged particle flow from the white dwarf provided a different kind of nourishment to the already fragile ecosystem of the planet...
In the wasteland, the dominant lizards of this continent have raised their horns and started the periodic migration engraved in their genes...
The desert arid plain where Su Xi and the others were located began to drift as a whole continent...
Originally, the planet's periodic magnetic pole adjustments fluctuated between plus and minus five or six degrees, but this time the adjustment was as high as 15 degrees.
Before the magnetic poles are adjusted, the induction waves between the Zerg and the eggs will be completely messed up in the entire magnetic field storm.
However, what Su Xi showed them was an incomprehensible 'resonance wave'. All those present were elite alphas or betas, but no one recognized the language of the 'resonance wave'.
"This is the 'language' of this planet——"
"What?" Mary asked in confusion, "The 'language' of the planet?"
"Ellen, since the hologram can translate into specific wave patterns, it means you have done an open language interface," Mary turned her head to look at Ellen and continued to ask, "Tell me about it!"
The curly-haired alpha wearing glasses slowly adjusted his glasses and said, "There are indeed some extremely far-fetched theories related to life language, but the current cases are not enough to support the actual theories..."
"Fuck!" Rambo, who was in a low mood, couldn't help but swear, "Curly, speak human language!"
Allen was speechless, and he also found it incredible -
Chris took over the conversation and said, "There are records in the Zowei family about the 'planetary language', which can be understood as a kind of energy wave, but what does this have to do with our current predicament?"
"Yes." Su Xi said affirmatively, "These bands are its language, the levels of its shock waves, and the 'safe zone' it can open?"
Safe zone?
Everyone looked at each other, and the scene was a bit awkward. At this moment, except for Chris who was deep in thought and Ellen who kept thinking, no one took the omega's words seriously.
As a group of men and women who all have omegas at home, we have seen too many delicate omegas doing all kinds of weird things.
This feeling is all too familiar to them.
Even Mary and Rambo exchanged a knowing look.
"This is what I can't understand," Su Xi noticed their emotions, but she continued to speak steadily: "Although this planet doesn't welcome us very much, it doesn't welcome 'them' even more, but it has made a request to me--"
"Require?"
While everyone was discussing, the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle was virtually parked on the wilderness ground that was shaking constantly due to the magnetic storm.
However, no one had time to figure out what Su Xi meant.
The 'golden insect eggs' that were originally silent in the cargo box began to vibrate violently, emitting a series of special frequency bands.
At the same time, the originally quiet underground suddenly cracked open, and countless densely packed insects crawled out from the ground.
This is a sign of an impending Zerg ground attack!
