0199 Battle of the Core, The Failed Fusion(1/2)
The huge nest with a long axis of hundreds of kilometers is no longer mysterious. The mutated Borg group wrapped around it shrinks in strands, gathering with the remaining similar species, and revealing its body piece by piece.
This is obviously an artificial spacecraft with a shell material similar to that of Zhiyin, but not the pure silver-white, with a texture closer to gray plastic. Compared with the Scavenger, it is similar and different.
There is no rivet visible in the shell of the nest, but it has joints, which shows that its manufacturing technology is not much higher than that of humans. However, the size of the hull is so large that it should be more technical than that of humans in material technology. Maybe like the Scavenger, the skeleton was made of Zhiyin.
Many of the saturated nuclear bomb attacks just now exploded near the nest, and some ruptures could be seen, indicating that the shell material is not indestructible.
As the mutant Borg shrinks, the nest gradually reveals its full picture. Only the central part is complete, the beginning and the end are covered with things that make the scalp tingling.
Even Xia Ming was pinched by a real fear, and his whole body became numb and it took him a while to recover.
They were huge flesh-and-blood mouthpieces, ranging in diameter from hundreds of meters to over kilometers. The mouthpieces were slowly squirming, spewing out gas like breathing. The inside of these mouthpieces must be the ecological environment that supports the mutated Bog.
During previous contact and investigation, I did not find any corresponding movements and stills of the mutated Borg group covering the surface of the nest. The invasion of thinking with low intensity but extremely wide range is probably from them. The current movement should be the intensive nuclear bomb explosion that stimulated them.
In the cargo hold of the Scavenger, the terrifying scene in front came into the vision of the Star League's Special Forces, making their minds sway.
"Concentrate on yourself! Don't get lost!"
Xia Ming's cold shout sounded, like a candlelight lit up in the darkness, which made the special forces suddenly wake up. With this candlelight, they all regained their self that had been stable in training, and the sparks ignited dispelled a trace of ice that invaded their minds.
"What did this tm change!"
"Did we break into Mr. Ke's nest?"
"Ke is just going crazy, he doesn't turn people or even animals into monsters, right?"
"Is that... Xiuji's variant?"
"I understand! The invasion of thinking is the sound of Azathus' drum!"
In the channels of each squadron, the players were talking about jokes with Cthulhu as the theme, and no one mentioned a fact: they were getting closer and closer to these monsters.
The Scavenger rushed out of the chaotic asteroid cluster and pulled out a noticeable flame from the space sweeping out of the nuclear bomb, attracting a small group of mutated Borgs to surround them. More mutated Borg groups have gathered into thick torrents and rushed towards the threat ahead again. The previous shallow disc array has disappeared, and Yunas, who has lost nearly 30%, is shrinking more densely.
The Scavenger had already rushed to a thousand kilometers away from the spacecraft. Four specially improved ion engines continued to accelerate. In the cargo hold, the Secret Service was tied to the bulkhead because of obvious G-force, which gave them a new topic.
"If there is a little more fog, we will be more like pork hanging in the frozen warehouse."
"Oh, I remembered the situation when I went to the frozen warehouse to buy strategic reserve meat when I was a child."
"Don't step on my head! Think you are hanging?"
"Still accelerating? Are you going to crash directly into it?"
Just as the special agents began to joke about what would happen next, Su Yu's voice rang out. The Star Alliance Special Service was too few, and she was both the squadron leader and the adjutant in charge of executive management.
“Preparing shock——!”
The hull trembled, and it was not a collision, but a rail gun installed at the bow of the Scavenger began to fire.
The rail guns on the Scavenger are not special models. They are designed with the miniaturization of long nail rail guns, just like those equipped by Yunas. Even the shells similar to the Zhiyin material cannot withstand bombardment, and are penetrated one by one, and then cracked one by one.
"Protective impact--!"
The hull of the nest had occupied the entire field of view. With Su Yu's shout, everyone bowed their heads and bent down, and foam pads popped up from the bulkheads to separate everyone.
Thousands of kilometers away, on the commanding spacecraft, the commanders watched the jaw-dropping scene and their breathing stopped.
The silver-white spacecraft plunged into the huge spacecraft of the mutated Borg people like bullets. A large ball of fragments spurted out from the gap, rushing the mutated Borg behind it into pieces.
Cox said in disbelief: "Xia Ming and the others are... really trying their best!?"
Ye Ding sighed: "He said it very clearly just now, the exit is inside. If you kill that... mutant star gate, you might be able to solve all the mutant Borgs."
"If we can hold back these mutated Borgs," Schroeder was a little worried.
Alexei shouted Russian and then changed it to Chinese and said: "We Russians and Chinese people will not take a step back!"
"I can understand Chinese," Cox hummed, "Beauties won't just save the earth in movies."
"There is no country here, only humans!" Ye Ding smiled with his head raised, "Our name is Yunas on our tombstone!"
The mutated Borg group, which was angered by the nuclear bomb, almost came out in full swing, launching more intensively and rapidly. Yunas also reduced the formation and the artillery fire became more intense.
The dazzling cannon flames flickered constantly, and the dense ballistics merged into a light flow, colliding with the tumultuous dark current, in a stalemate.
The undercurrent continued to spread and spread, and the optical flow also extended. After about ten minutes, the optical flow was much thinned. After the optical flow, Yunas' spacecraft had contracted into a blue light mass, resisting the undercurrent that subdivided into countless tributaries.
The Scavenger penetrated the nest shell and then penetrated the cabin layer after layer until the kinetic energy was exhausted, and the bow penetrated deep into another bulkhead, but the hull was stuck.
Although it was not a hull made of genuine Zhiyin, which carries thousands of memories, the hardness of the Scavenger obviously surpassed that of this nest spacecraft, and the hull was not greatly damaged in the collision of distance. The secret service members received strict training, and the anti-duty design of the power armor and the buffer device in the cargo hold, no one was seriously injured. However, under severe collisions, some minor injuries were inevitable.
The bow of the ship has been severely deformed. The squadron leader directed his subordinates to cut out several outlets with plasma spray guns. The impatient team members started the jet pack and jumped out. A scream sounded on the channel, making the old man.
There is actually gravity here!
The scavenger was stuck at more than twenty meters above the ground. The unlucky guy was lucky. The intelligence of the power armor quickly adjusted his posture, allowing him to land steadily without being injured.
The sensor shows that not only has 0.8g of gravity, but also oxygen-containing air, but the composition is different from that of the earth. Because the Scavenger penetrated the bulkheads all the way, the air is rapidly losing.
The team members behind were cautiously falling and realized that they were in a vast circular square.
The radius of the square is nearly one kilometer, empty, with a arc dome above its head, at least thirty or forty meters high. Whether it is the dome or bulkhead, it is flashing with white light as dense as a sea of stars.
Although the white light is weak and pale, it exudes a gloomy feeling, but the brightness of the square is enough to see things, which also makes the black smoke in the center of the square quite obvious.
Everyone can clearly sense the unusualness of the black smoke, which is causing fluctuations of thinking invasion. The intensity of the fluctuation is not high, but it is like a ripples, which is related to all mutated Borgs.
Without Qianyi's explanation, Xia Ming confirmed that it must be another exit, and that black smoke should be another failed host. In fact, he followed this induction and manipulated the Scavenger and crashed into the nest from the right direction and angle.
After quickly completing the team, Xia Ming took the lead and the team members followed up and headed towards the central platform.
But soon, a wisp of black smoke overflowed from the large hole that the Scavenger hit and flowed down the bulkhead. It was the mutated Borg chasing. What surprised everyone was that the mutated Borg quickly adapted to the gravity environment, and its retained hands and feet made them crawl on the ground quickly, sweeping over like marching ants.
"Yangtze River, on the left side of the thunder and lightning! Yellow River, on the right side of Valkyrie!"
Su Yu's fate reached everyone's ears: "Don't retreat in a single step!"
The flames of the machine guns and the flashes of the electromagnetic guns brightened the originally dark space. The four squadrons launched formation blocking, and Xia Ming led his direct squadron toward the central platform.
The mutated Borg that had originally rushed in was quickly cleaned up. The feeling of "the enemy was killed" lasted only two or three seconds, and the cracks on the bulkhead suddenly expanded. The stuck Scavenger was squeezed down and fell on the square. A large number of mutated Borgs rushed in, like a flood that washed away the embankment.
Su Yu shouted: "Turn forward the gun! Leave the back to his teammates!"
The outermost combat robot used the fierce artillery fire of the machine gun to disperse the dense mutant Borg. The team members behind held shields, raised the electromagnetic cannon, and accurately shot targets. However, there were too many enemies, and the mutant Borg continued to penetrate the fire network, shooting a stream of acid, and even rushed up directly, wrapping around and attacking the team members with tentacles.
A few players on the latter level rushed forward and quickly killed the approaching mutant Borg with melee weapons.
Three mutant Borgs pounced on the front row robot and rushed to Andoyuan.
Andaoyuan, with a chilling feeling in his heart, locked the middle with his pupils, raised the robot arm, and the shell of the machine gun exploded and the mutant Borg rolled backwards, pulling out black smoke.
The other two mutant Borgs, one left and one right, were less than one meter away from him. Tentacles with sharp shells were about to penetrate his neck and chest. Not only did he ignore it, he also shouted: "Avenge No. 67!"
An electromagnetic shell smashed the head of the mutated Borg on the left, and then penetrated several mutated Borgs behind, broke through the bulkhead, and ran towards freedom.
Wu Kang's voice rang in the team channel: "As long as you pick up the chip, there will be another lively No. 67."
At the same time, a small silver shield stretched out from Andaoyuan's side and knocked its tentacles. Then a blunt head of a smart silver nail hammer hit the skull of the mutated Borg, causing the mutated Borg to sink down. The nail hammer changed to a sharp head and gnawed hard in the same position, penetrated the hard case, splashing out thick ink, and the mutated Borg slowly collapsed to the ground, and there was no movement.
Mina shouted dissatisfiedly: "Captain, why are you shooting me in the back!?"
The special service maintained the formation and smashed the impact of the mutated Borg, but the continuous mutated Borgs rushed in, and more and more people broke through the formation.
"I'll go alone, you support the battle!"
Xia Ming also stayed the direct squadron and continued to move forward with Qianyi. Of course, Qianyi could not be considered a human being.
Seeing that the central platform was about to reach the center, Ye Ding's image reached Xia Ming's vision: "The German estimate is not very accurate, we can delay it for at most half an hour."
Half an hour...
Xia Ming raised his robot arm and opened fire. The shells of the electromagnetic gun exploded a mutant Borg that had been pounced from above into two pieces. The other robot arm wheel raised the silver sword and cut off the tentacles that extended to Qianyi. The robot arm drives the long sword with the strengthening motor installed, and drew a circle at a speed of at least 20% faster than the human body. He chopped the neck of the mutant Borg and decapitated it directly.
The mutant Borg's head was still in the air and was smashed by another shell. The head of this monster was cut off, and the brain inside could survive for several hours and continue to radiate the thinking and invade.
"I'll do my best..." Xia Ming could only say this. He was only a few dozen meters away from the black smoke ahead. He didn't know what that thing was, but he knew it would definitely be difficult to deal with.
Moreover, the situation in the rear view is not very good.
The formation is already messy. In this case, except for specially trained snipers, no one else can use electromagnetic cannons, otherwise it is too easy to injure teammates. The penetration of the machine cannon is still useful, but the shells are basically exhausted, so they can only rely on hand-to-hand combat at this time.
For the melee, the battle has just begun.
"God of Japan finally returned the gravity!"
In the channel, Lao Hong shouted loudly, holding a shield in one hand and a special weapon in the other hand, one on the left and one on the right, like two reefs, blocking a mutant Borg. The weapon was a lengthened and enlarged engineer shovel without arc, which was very similar to the ancient Double Moon Axe.
The twenty or thirty kilograms, with the support of the power armor, slapped the mutant Bergs weighing only thirty or forty kilograms one by one. Occasionally, the shreds of ink were chopped on the forehead and neck, and a stream of ink was spurted. After a while, a black pool was formed in front of the man-machine duo.
"I blame God in war, just like a sissy!"
On the other side, Lao Huang and the combat robot both swung large hammers, like Lao Hong, steadily resisting the impact of the mutated Borg. The two of them were like door gods, barely setting up a line of defense, and did not let everyone be completely disrupted by the mutated Borg group.
Mina's man-machine duo moved forward, trying to pull up the third vertex, but she was frustrated to find that she was far worse than Old Hong and Old Huang, regardless of the reaction or skills. With a flash of spirit, the two mutant Borgs jumped high, and the tentacles shot out led her to entangle her with their hands. At this time, her combat robot had no time to react.
Seeing that he was about to be dragged into the mutated Borg group, the knife light flashed and the tentacles were cut open. The machine guns were shot in front and behind, and the heads of the two mutated Borgs were smashed with extremely accurate short bursts.
Su Yu dragged Mina back and scolded coldly: "Don't show off!"
Mina sighed: "Are these two old men transforming people?"
The two old men were in their sixties. Old Hong had put on the power armor and was still hunched over. It was really hard for her to believe that their bodies could withstand such intense exercise.
To be continued...
