Chapter 293 The situation is worse than expected
Giant spiky worms can spray strange secretions that are like cannonballs, explode, cause terrible damage, and are even corrosive.
The spray distance of these things can reach up to a hundred meters. Lin Tu and his team must stop them before they get close to the base.
The huge artillery in the base roared ammunition towards the heavy beetles that were as big as mountains.
More than twenty tall metal armors attacked and chopped the dense swarm of insects, opening up a path and rushing towards the huge giant spiked insect in twos and threes.
The number of the Zerg was too large. No matter how much ammunition they fired, they could not stop the Zerg, and they soon approached the outpost.
"Prepare to attack!"
With a loud shout from Han Lian, a huge translucent grizzly bear suddenly jumped out of his body, opened its huge mouth wide, and pounced into the swarm of insects below with a roar.
One by one, translucent spiritual entities leaped out from the bodies of the soldiers on the high wall and bit the Zerg swarming below.
"Getting closer!"
Feng Qian's voice roared, and he quickly pressed a button on his clothes. A large number of nanorobots quickly began to spread on his combat suit, and soon, his body was covered by a thin layer of nano combat suit.
Everyone on the wall turned on their battle suits, kept pulling the trigger in one hand, and held the energy sword in the other hand, slashing at the Zerg that jumped up.
Outside there was a ceaseless roar and countless strange Zerg screams. Although the metal door of the temporary treatment area was closed, just hearing those sounds was enough to terrify the people inside.
Yue Zhimeng's hands were shaking, and she couldn't calm down at all.
boom!
There was a loud noise coming from the metal wall, as if something hit it, and Yue Zhimeng was so scared that she couldn't help but scream.
"Moon Dreamweaver!"
Su Xiwei, who was giving mental comfort to a soldier on the side, turned her head and looked at her.
Su Xiwei closed her eyes. Beautiful translucent lilies bloomed all around her, surrounding her like a lily goddess.
She looked calm, not at all panicked, as if she was not disturbed by the outside sounds at all.
"Yue Zhimeng, don't interrupt the comforting!"
Yue Zhimeng bit her lip, glanced at the man lying in front of her with a painful expression and blue veins on his face, and she had to start releasing her mental power again.
I don’t know how long the roar outside lasted, until the metal door opened, it was quiet outside and some more wounded were brought in.
There were large numbers of Zerg corpses in front of and outside the outpost.
A large section of the wall on one side of the outpost collapsed again, and the engineering soldiers began to repair it in a hurry.
The soldiers who had just finished the battle were busy dealing with the Zerg corpses in the outpost.
In the wasteland hundreds of meters away, large numbers of Zerg corpses could be seen everywhere on the ground.
Swish!
The sharp huge blade chopped a Zerg into two halves. Looking at the Zerg that was still screaming, the sharp spider-like limbs inserted into the Zerg's head, ending the annoying scream.
Lin Tu frowned as she watched the fading insect swarm in the distance, and she immediately issued orders into the headset.
"Liang Heng, take the Armor Team back first and let everyone rest as soon as possible. I'll go take a look ahead."
Liang Heng's response came quickly from the headset, "Then these Zerg corpses..."
"Never mind for now!"
After saying this, Lin Tu activated his armor and rushed off into the distance.
The sky was gradually getting dark. Lin Tu ran three or four kilometers in the direction where the swarm of insects left. Suddenly, he found a huge collapsed pit under a valley in the distance.
She immediately changed into her armor, lowered her body, and moved over as fast as a spider.
The huge crater, which is dozens of meters wide, should be the masterpiece of the previous explosion.
But the originally blocked tunnel below has been cleared, and there are countless traces of Zerg's footsteps around it.
An eerie chill surged out from the cave, even penetrating Lin Tu's armor and penetrating into her bones.
A strong feeling of uneasiness surged in her heart. With this discovery, she rushed to the outpost at full speed. She had to bring this news back as soon as possible.
When Lin Tu's armor returned to the outpost, it was already dark, and the lights of the outpost illuminated the nearby area.
The entire outpost was filled with a strange stench.
"The company commander is back!"
Everyone looked at the person coming out of the armor and stood up.
Lin Tu quickly put away his armor, glanced around, and said:
"Everyone rest where you are. The platoon leader will arrange for someone to stand guard."
After saying this, she hurried into the command center.
As the office door opened, the commander looked at her with a gloomy face.
"News came from the rear that the transport troops encountered Zerg and could not provide support."
Lin Tu stepped forward quickly, opened the map, and asked the commander:
"Can we call up the area where the heavy missiles dropped in the previous attack exploded?"
The commander frowned and winked at the technicians, who immediately started to move.
After a while, densely packed explosion points were marked on the projection.
Lin Tu let out a long breath and leaned on the command platform. Seeing that her expression was not right, the commander hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Tu raised his head, his expression extremely serious, "The situation may be worse than we expected!"
"What?" The commander's face changed.
Lin Tu pointed at the explosion sites and said, "I just went to scout and found a huge pit a few kilometers away from here. It should be the explosion site. It has become a Zerg passage."
"..."
At this moment, the commander's expression was so ugly that it could no longer be described.
"Are you serious? Most of these explosion points are not too far from the outposts. They are a few kilometers away from each outpost. Are you saying that the Zerg dug through it again and used it as a tunnel?"
boom!
The commander slammed his fist on the command desk. "No wonder every frontline outpost has been attacked by insect swarms, in waves."
"They are deliberately dispersing our forces and exhausting our strength!"
The commander quickly grabbed a technician nearby and shouted, "Damn it, get through to the headquarters."
The technician quickly connected to the headquarters, and the commander squeezed over and quickly reported Lin Tu's findings.
However, a voice came from the other side, "Just wait and see, there is something wrong with the S1 wormhole, and the Space Department cannot provide support now..."
Commander Lang Ying no longer cared about etiquette and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Damn it, those Zerg's target is the planet. Space is just a cover. Once the Zerg on the planet launches a large-scale attack, we can only wait for death!"
"The outpost on Line A is too close to their passageway. Request evacuation. Request spacecraft support for evacuation, asshole!"
"The two wormholes are just your speculations. We don't know the exact situation yet. Hold your ground first!"
