161. Prologue: Crossing the Sea!
The star gate has not been closed. Although only three dragon insects come here, a large number of tank insects and countless small plasma insects make people feel desperate. Since humans were driven out of the Gorudo Star - the Zerg parent star, two hundred years ago, it is rare to see such a large Zerg army gathering together.
What is even more unsettling is that the floaters stopped degenerating, and the "arrows" they shot also had some energy reactions. This is the latest Zerg that has evolved from energy attacks in the past 20 years.
All kinds of news came from the front line of the Star Gate that when humans were preparing to remove firewood from the cauldron, the insects also planned to come to a great dynasty to consolidate their dominance on this planet.
This argument was proposed by Zhang Tianyu. Now his identity is no longer an assistant to a scientist. He is qualified to follow Zheng Ran when he is dying. Many of his remarks are regarded as Zheng Ran's meaning. This is also the interesting side of Chinese tradition, as if students must be the teacher's thoughts heirs.
"When you say that, why do I feel conspiracy?" Zhang Tianwen was rarely serious and was walking in front of the fire for a long time in a military uniform.
"There is no problem of living space in the bugs. They are adjusted by nature. If the space is not enough to support the survival of the population, they will kill each other or reduce the fertility rate." Zhang Tianyu said, "Then why did they pass through the star gate to this planet? Their hunting of humans is not like instinct, but a planned behavior. In my opinion, this behavior is completely regarded as the maintenance of its own right to rule."
"They are really wise?" Duda participated in the discussion. "You said before that they don't even have autonomous instincts."
"Most of them definitely don't. I haven't changed my opinion on this." Zhang Tianyu said, "But a small number should be wise, otherwise who will dial the number from there?"
"Okay!" Duda stood up and glanced at the backbone of the mercenary group under his seat. "No matter whether the other party is wise or not, we are in war now! Direct the fighters to do the final inspection work. Depart at the subway entrance of No. 3 in two hours!"
This battle was led by the experienced regular army, professional consultants, logistics, equipment, and morale-enhancing... All of them should be. Many people wrote suicide notes, which made Duda secretly record a last word on the computer.
Strictly speaking, this is the first battle he has experienced.
The subway at the entrance of Metro No. 3 is the northernmost stronghold to the Highlanders. The Winter Fortress. It was once the front line against the Zergs. It was later destroyed by the Zergs and was not recovered until three years ago, but it did not really restore it. Therefore, the surprise attack team must be careful whether there are any remaining bugs there and cannot spend the night there.
"Bring a submarine and a rig from here to the beach, crossing this strait is the Arctic continent." Muladin was already a genuine tour guide, shouting loudly to the soldiers behind him in the wind.
Duda took two steps forward and gently tapped the microphone on the short general's chin: "Old Mu, say to this place, everyone can hear it." Of course, the Marines couldn't understand even if they heard it.
Muladin, obviously not used to using communicators, shouted at the microphone hesitantly: "Can you hear it?"
Everyone frowned and subconsciously pulled the headphones a little.
"Have you used the communicator?" Duda said helplessly.
"Yes, but I haven't used it for many years. We prefer the battle cry!" Teklin, who was following him, cooperated and let out a roar. It seemed that he really had the courage to be inappropriate.
Duda shook his head.
Gu Shaochao walked up against the cold wind, patted Duda's arm, and adjusted to a separate channel: "It must be hurry up, it's getting dark, if you are attacked here, you will be passive."
This season, the Arctic only lasts four hours a day during the day, considering that the insects are circulating at night, the surprise attack team must arrive at the beach before dark, then go into the water, and then wait until dawn the next day before floating. Use a drilling machine to get close to the target as close as possible, and finally, the construction robot provided by Karami opened a porch to enter the place suspected to be a control room.
The whole plan is very simple. Once successful, humans can use Princess Pingyang's high-performance to bomb the star gate. Without the support and supplement of the Zerg's mother planet, the insects on this planet will eventually be eliminated. Duda believes that this is a beautiful ending, but he also recognizes Gu Shaochao's words.
Because many non-combatants were added to Iron Fortress, such as the chief and deputy guides Muladin and Teklin; technical support for Zhang Tianyu and Zhang Weidi; troublemaker and scientific interpreter Zheng Ran... and then join the dwarf construction team provided by Shang Karami, there are a total of ten robots, plus two technical staff for operators.
Such a large group of people need to take three submarines in a scattered manner. If two ground drilling machines are added to the subsequent use, and Duda will also have five submarines in order to prevent Princess Pingyang from being transported to prevent them. These submarines must also be transported to the beach in a short time, which is the fastest and safest way to do it.
These tasks are done by robots with extremely powerful strength, but the travel speed is extremely low.
The drill bit is held in the submarine, but the submarine is transported by robots. Although the horsepower of these transport robots is large enough, looking at this situation, Duda always remembers the original state of the vehicle being broken down and being pushed by humans.
The sky gradually became brighter and light, and occasionally you could see a few small insects flying by in the sky. On this snowy field, Duda felt confused that he could not see the way ahead. Muladin walked to Duda and said, "Those insects are Zerg's reconnaissance insects. The insects on our planet cannot appear in such a cold place." His words made Duda even more uncomfortable. Thinking about his own exposure to the enemy's compound eyes, there was no effective way.
"Is it okay to be discovered? You were almost encircled and annihilated last time." Duda reminded him.
"No matter how well hidden it is, it is impossible not to be discovered." Teklin walked over with two short legs and walked over the snow layer. He said in a muffled voice: "There are bugs everywhere in this world. I believe that even in Iron Fortress, it's just that humans don't know."
"How do they spread information?" Duda asked.
"Who cares!" Muladin continued to move forward, not saying, "Our people have cut through many bugs, but have not found a brain like humans, and there is no developed neural network in their bodies. Who knows how they communicate, maybe they are shaking their butts and dancing!"
"It may be a higher level of spiritual communication than humans," Teklin said. "From their reactions, there must be command and training."
"Fight! No nonsense!" Huo Jia strode to chase after him, his huge weight made almost half of his body sink into the snow. Feihu happily stepped on the sled and hooked Huo Jia's power armor.
Duda slowed down and let them surpass themselves.
After the snow transport robot pushed the submarine past, he saw Zheng Ran and Zhang Tianyu. Zheng Ran had completely reached his death, and now it was delayed from the ten days he had expected, but his condition did not worsen. Everyone thought he would leave this body within one or two days.
Zhang Tianyu was wrapped like a polar bear, even his eyes were hidden under the goggles. For his safety, he had to carry a single shield generator, but only five kilograms of things weighed, but it became the last straw that crushed him. In the end, this suggestion could only be left alone.
Moreover, the individual shield generator is not a bargain all over the streets. There are only a few generals in Iron Fortress to use it in turn. This counterattack plan is only to collect five. Since Zhang Tianyu is not used, they are all handed over to Gu Shaochao's Land Warfare Company, becoming the auxiliary configuration of the main Vulcan cannon.
The China Land Warfare Company can carry a high-intensity combat weight of 36 kilograms, which is a veritable war machine. This time, with the support of the Earth's highest technical products, warriors over 180 cm tall have obtained exoskeleton power armor, equipped with two Vulcan cannons, and carry single-soldier shields, which is definitely full of firepower.
"The sea is ahead." Duda breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Wei walked to him with a breath and said, "I'm almost done, I'm exhausted."
"Why don't you stay in the submarine?" Duda glanced at him squintly.
If the combatants don’t enter the submarine, they must be ready to fight at any time. Zhang Tianyu doesn’t enter the submarine because Zheng Ran wants to walk outside; Zheng Ran wants to walk outside because he is dying, and wants to finally taste the taste of moving in nature... Anyway, he is wearing a protective suit with air conditioning function and sitting in an electronic wheelchair, just thinking that this section of the road is a spring outing.
Why should Zhang Weidi, who is also a technical assistant, suffer this crime yourself?
"Because I'm shooting." Zhang Wei nodded the red dot on his head, "This must be a future expansion pack, not even a reporter, how wasteful it is? I have to make a guest appearance."
"I'll ignore it if you don't say it... Then take a good shot!" Du Da patted Zhang Wei's shoulder, "If I were you, I'd just find a robot to hang it up. Anyway, it won't affect the shooting, maybe the camera feels better."
"Damn... I'm going to say this to you, why do I think I'm stupid..." Zhang Wei was speechless, and he plucked up and rushed towards the robot in front.
Duda grinned and looked at the sky.
There are more and more insects dancing in the sky, even a little dense. Fortunately, the sea is right in front of it. Although the insects can fly over the strait, they cannot go into the water. For two hundred years, they have not evolved from the water Zerg, but they cannot see from the experimental report that they are afraid of water.
The logical conclusion is that humans do not have frequent underwater activities, and the water world is not the living space of Zergs, so Zergs in the water have not evolved.
Finally, there is still a pure land.
"Report, we have arrived at the beach!" The vanguard in front played out his communication, "no bugs were found."
