The number of Zerg is simply too huge, and the military's intelligence is clearly flawed again. If they had known the situation was so serious, they would definitely not have sent just one reinforcement team!
This time, without any investigation, Hall could be sure that there was definitely something wrong with Raman Baker!
Hall immediately wanted to contact his mother on the capital star, but the twelfth star field was too far away from the capital star. The airship's signal could not directly communicate with the capital star and had to go through the ground signal tower.
Hall also ordered the signalman to immediately contact the fleet stationed on the nearby colony to come for support, but the signal fell on deaf ears and there was no response at all!
There are only three possibilities in this situation. One is that the signal tower on the colony was destroyed by the Zerg, making it impossible to communicate with them. The second is that the fleet stationed on the colony has been wiped out. The last one is that this is actually a trap set by Raman Baker, who took advantage of Hall's concern for his father's safety and tricked him here!
But no matter which situation it is, it is extremely disadvantageous to Hall.
Although Hall and his men continued to kill the Zerg, the number of the Zerg was too large. No matter how they attacked, it was always like a drop in the bucket and could not produce any significant effect.
This can't go on!
"Sean, take your men and rush out. We must enter the Minasi planet and find my father!" Hall decided to let Sean lead the search and rescue team to break out of the Zerg encirclement and go to the original resource planet where his father disappeared for search and rescue.
"No, I'll cover your retreat! You take the others and charge out!" How could Sean agree to let the general's son cover their retreat?
"Now is not the time to argue with me!" Hall's voice was filled with majesty. "Our remaining energy won't last much longer. I'm the only one who has a chance of breaking through the encirclement."
Sean knew that what Hall said was right, so he had no choice but to agree with a heavy heart.
Hall no longer controlled his energy consumption and launched a large number of fireballs, blasting a bloody path through the swarm of insects. Sean, with a search and rescue team of hundreds of people, followed Hall's cover all the way, using energy cannons to clear the way and rushed to the original resource star at the fastest speed.
With half of their combat power gone, the pressure on Hall and his men suddenly increased a lot.
"Everyone get back to the spaceship!" Hall believed that if they continued like this, they would inevitably be wiped out. They had to get back to the spaceship and use the space jump function of the spaceship to temporarily leave this dangerous place, go to other star fields, and then find a way to contact the capital star.
However, a huge and ugly insect suddenly appeared in the swarm of insects. It was a giant earthworm-like creature with crustacean armor on its back, and the armor was covered with sharp spikes, so it was called a spiny insect.
The stinger is one of the most troublesome Zerg species for mecha combat divisions. This type of insect can attack both aerial targets and ground targets. Its spikes can pierce new alloys and cause huge damage to spacecraft and mechas.
Fortunately, this kind of stinging insect is rare. It takes 100,000 insects to evolve into one stinging insect. Due to its huge size, it moves extremely slowly. At the same time, the stinging insect is very afraid of fire, so Hall can suppress it.
Risking being pricked by the stinging insect's spikes, Hall used his superb mecha driving skills and reaction speed to perform a series of difficult evasive moves. While avoiding the spikes, he sent out a series of fireballs that accurately hit the stinging insect, roasting it into charcoal.
But before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, the spaceship's alarm sounded again. The rear of the spaceship had actually suffered heavy damage. What was going on?
The pilot of the spacecraft immediately switched the camera and found that there was another huge bug stuck to the back of the spacecraft.
That's... a devouring worm.
The Devourer is the most powerful evolved Zerg species. It is even rarer than the Stinger. It is not only huge in size, but also extremely fast. It spits acid to attack any spacecraft or mecha in the air, causing corrosive damage to it.
Now, most of the superalloy steel plate at the rear of the spacecraft has been melted by the venom of the devouring worm. If it is given a little more time, it will immediately attack the interior of the spacecraft!
"Abandon ship! Everyone leave the spacecraft! All non-combatants enter the lifeboat!" For some reason, these rare evolved insects appeared in such large numbers. They had just passed through the black hole, and they had already been discovered by the Zerg. And were they targeting them? It was as if something on the spacecraft was attracting these insects...
But now there is no time for Hold to think too much, he must lead everyone to escape, especially... Auckland!
"Auckland!" Hall searched for Auckland through the spacecraft's built-in camera, then watched him fall to the ground with his eyes wide open. It was Auckland's first time on a spacecraft, and he was very unfamiliar with the structure of the spacecraft. He didn't even know where the lifeboat was. He stumbled with the crowd to the back of the spacecraft. Everyone rushed into the back compartment, grabbed an oxygen mask, and continued running. Auckland wanted to get one too, but he was suddenly tripped and fell heavily to the ground. One by one, the lifeboats flew out, each filled with people. No one seemed to notice that there was still one person left inside the spacecraft.
Hall watched in horror as the bugs drilled into the cabin through the big hole at the rear of the spaceship and headed towards Auckland. The bone-chilling cold that seemed to freeze even the blood was terrifying. Hall did not dare to use fireballs for fear of causing the spaceship to explode and hurt Auckland. He drew out the Aurora Sword and killed all the bugs blocking his way like chopping melons and vegetables. Auckland was the only one left in his eyes, and he must save him!
However, what Hall did not expect was that Oakland slowly got up from the ground. He slowly patted the dust off his body, picked up an oxygen mask on the ground, put it on his head, then danced his fingers and made a strange gesture. The next moment, a fireball appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The power of this fireball was no less than Hall's fireball emblem. The impact caused by the rapid explosion knocked over many insects. Oakland took this opportunity to escape from the back of the spacecraft.
"Come to the cockpit!" A steady male voice suddenly rang out. Auckland took a moment to realize he was being addressed. He quickly ran back, pressing the lock button as he ran. Fortunately, his Golden Core stage consciousness gave him a photographic memory. When he was fleeing with the crowd, he had noticed the location of the buttons. While it didn't help much, it did help him buy some time.
Auckland rushed all the way into the cockpit of the spaceship. Only a black-skinned pilot, Quentin Joseph, was left inside. He looked solemn at the moment, his hand firmly pressed on the self-destruct device. As the pilot of the spaceship, he must live and die with the spaceship.
"There's a small escape pod over there. You can take that and leave." Quentin didn't even glance at Oakland. He was concentrating on watching the Zerg's movements. When enough Zergs entered the airship, he would activate the self-destruction and make sure that these Zergs would never come back!
Oakland grabbed Quentin, knocked him unconscious in front of Quentin's surprised eyes and stuffed him into the escape pod. Then, while pressing the self-destruct device, he pressed the button to eject the escape pod, then clung to the escape pod and was ejected together.
The spaceship exploded within five seconds. The huge force of the blast blew those annoying insects into powder. Hall was caught off guard. When he was about to retreat, he saw an escape pod ejected from the spaceship. The person he was always thinking about was actually outside the escape pod!
Is he going to die? ! ! !
Hall immediately covered the mecha with a layer of golden energy shield, rushed to the side of the escape pod at the fastest speed, grabbed the edge of the escape pod with one hand, and firmly protected Auckland in front of him, and was blown away with the escape pod.
