Volume 4 The Seed of Holiness (53)
Liu Yuxin and her group hid quietly at the bottom of the lake, waiting patiently for the war insects on the shore to leave.
On the third day of their abandoned camp, they almost ran into the war insect squad that came to patrol. In order to avoid exposing their location, they had to find another small lake to hide. At this time, Liu Yuxin and the others understood why Suzuki Nan asked them to drive a mecha to carry out the mission.
Those warworms who have lived in the dark for a long time can even locate the physiological characteristics of prey more than ten kilometers away. If it weren't for these mechas with good isolation performance, those alien species who were patrolling would have found them by tracking their scent with their hunting instincts.
"Why are there suddenly a warworm patrol? It was obviously calm when we came!"
Chang Haotian complained in a low voice
"Shut up!"
Chang Haotian's brainless Chang Shengshi was even more unhappy. This person was disappointed...
"It should be that the alien leader named Firefly discovered that we had escaped, so he launched the alien to search."
Liu Yuxin has fought with high-level aliens many times, but almost died several times. She never dared to underestimate the wisdom of those aliens.
The high-level alien species will definitely be suspicious if they find that they and others have not shown up for a long time, right? In fact, the safest way is to leave a suspicious soldier to restrain him, but Liu Yuxin can't say such words. After all, the person who stayed to cover everyone is almost destined to die alone in the hinterland of the Zerg.
Liu Yuxin is not a qualified commander yet!
Chang Shengshi, who had been observing the young man's every move throughout the entire trip, couldn't help but sigh.
He was indeed too young, and his thoughts were influenced by the emotions in his heart, and he was completely unable to make the most calm decision. Judging from the wisdom he had shown recently, he must have thought of this safest plan, but he still decided to try to save everyone, and finally chose this thorny path.
"It seems that our progress is going to be delayed, and I hope it can catch up with the time of the great retreat."
Liu Yuxin is sure that as long as they exposed their whereabouts, there will be a steady stream of war insects that will move rapidly and intercept them. The slowed-down team will definitely be surrounded by a group of insects with many high-level alien species behind.
Although there are many pools and lakes in this underground world that do not worry about hiding, it will expose them everything over time. The absolute safety time may be very limited...
Day by day, the fireflies have lost their traces of Liu Yuxin and the others for seven days!
Although he quickly reacted that day, he sent a pursuit force and called on the main base to patrol. After a few days, the tunnel was almost overturned by it and even the smallest gap was not spared, but no trace of the humans was found.
Did they have a wrong guess? They were not on the way back but on the other side? Firefly could not help but doubt their judgment. But no matter where they went, Firefly had to admit that they had escaped from their control and that their mission had actually failed.
The fireflies who understood this just apologized with their king and reported the latest situation not long ago. Strangely, since capturing the human named Fu Jingzhu, the king's attention seemed to be completely shifting to the prisoner. Even if he made such a big mistake, it was only a faint one. I knew it and there was no further information. His careless appearance was completely different from the anger he showed that day. Could it be that humans are so valuable to study, and even the king gave up his long-cherished wish for them for more than 100 years?
Stop, stop! The king's wisdom is as deep as the sea. How can it be understood thoroughly by itself? It should focus on its job and find the group of people as soon as possible. So where will they be? I have searched almost every place!
No! No! I have always had a place I haven't gotten involved, that is, the Zerg has no way to search for the bottom of the water! That's right, they can't disappear out of thin air. There is a high probability that they have avoided all patrols by hiding in the water. They should be prepared in this regard.
—————
There are 2 days left before the time to launch the offensive!
"This is really hard!"
Chang Haotian is starting to complain again
In the past few days, the Zerg patrol has increased exponentially, and they have been hiding in the water for a long time than they have been on the road.
"Shhh~, stop the sound!"
Chang Shengshi yelled in the channel
It's strange that the Zerg actually stayed by the water for a long time and had no intention of leaving for a while.
What do they want to do?
Looking at the red dot Chang Shengshi on his biological detection radar that was close to them, I felt very surprised. Why didn’t these alien species that have never liked water very much? Can they still jump down?
"Kill it!"
Liu Yuxin shouted loudly and suddenly turned on the searchlight on the mecha.
In the lamppost, a jellyfish-like creature as big as a puppy was floating desperately not far away.
Everyone immediately understood: their whereabouts had been discovered by the alien species in front of them!
Several warworms threw a new aquatic alien that wrapped itself like a ball in a transparent capsule into the pool, watching it slowly spread from the ball to become a jellyfish and dive into a deep water, and then disappeared in a while. A warworm swung his head close to the water surface and curiously, hoping to see the movements and traces of the alien that had evolved recently.
Suddenly a burst of foam rose in the pool, and several special ammunitions of electromagnetic rifles shot out, punching the stretched neck several times.
"Crash!"
As the water splashed, Anubis, who was spraying blue flames on his wings, jumped out of the water, and the sickle in his hand slashed, shaving all the alien species standing on the shore in half.
The body rolled in the air and flew against the ground, catching up with the war insects guarding the outside and taking them off one by one. After counting breaths, the surrounding pool had been cleared.
Until this time, the other members climbed to the shore in the rippling waves.
"Didn't you miss it? I was careless. I didn't expect that the alien species actually had the means to detect the bottom of the water..."
After Liu Yuxin climbed up, she looked at the corpse of the war insect lying on her side and asked.
"As long as everyone nearby is cleared, no one is missing!"
"That's good, this has bought us a lot of time. It seems that we can't put our hopes in hiding in the water in the future, and they have the means to deal with them."
Chang Shengshi looked through the corpse of the aquatic alien species and made a simple record
"I will be sad in the next two days... Captain Liu, let's go quickly. This missing war insects should soon attract the attention of the insect swarm, and a brigade of alien species will come to check it out soon."
Liu Yuxin nodded and followed Chang Shengshi in a depressed mood.
Losing a safe shelter, their future became bleak. It would be easier to persevere in this tunnel full of alien species for two days. What's worse is that they were following a powerful pursuit force.
"Where are we going now? Or where are we hiding?"
Johnny asked
"There is no way out. We can only rush forward straight, whether we retreat or stay here, it is only a dead end."
Liu Yuxin's answer was firm
Although there are still unknown dangers waiting for them ahead, after seeing the strength of the pursuit troops, Liu Yuxin believes that only when encountering them is true, there is no life.
"A high-intensity breakthrough for two consecutive days... I really have to fight for my life this time."
Chang Shengshi's face full of bitter smile
He already has a basic understanding of Liu Yuxin, so he naturally won’t say some words.
The next step was to make progress without stopping. The entire team was divided into three groups and took turns to take on the main attack tasks. As the number of encounters increased, the difficulty of their breakthrough increased accordingly. By the second day, they had already begun to encounter insect groups with high-level alien species as the core of the team.
Looking at the swarm of insects waiting in front of him, Liu Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, because there are teams in each fork, they can't draw too many troops. Johnny, Qi thought, we will break the insect array for you, can you kill their Scorpion King directly?"
"It should be no problem" x2
"Okay, come with me!"
With Liu Yuxin's greeting, six raider mechas set out an assault formation and rushed towards them.
They were greeted first by a rain of acid spikes.
"Raising the shield!"
The raiders took out the large shields mounted behind them and raised them diagonally, trying their best to hide their bodies under the shield and arched their bodies. The acid from the large tent hit the shield surface, corroding the surface of the pits and pits.
After the three-wheeled spear of the prickly snake, they were already close to the swarm. Except for Anubis and others who were not equipped with shields, they were stained with a few drops of splashed liquid and their outer armor was corroded a little, the others were intact.
Seeing that the thorn snake stopped vomiting, Liu Yuxin and the others straightened their bodies, waved their shields to slap the war insects around them, and drove a road that went straight to their core in the insect swarm. After a rush, the eye-catching scorpion king was already in front of them.
The raiders suddenly separated and gave up their main attacker's position. Anubis and Sobek, who were protected in it for a long time, rushed straight towards the Scorpion King.
The Scorpion King saw that the two customized mechas were known to be in a bad state, so he sprayed out a lipstick of red mist and turned around and ran away.
"Want to run?"
The two were about to chase after him, but were blocked by the crazy warworms and prickly snakes, watching the Scorpion King escape.
"Damn it, I'm running away quite quickly!"
Chang Haotian cursed and slapped a war insect that stretched out his head and bit him.
Without removing the core of the Scorpion King, the worm swarm, it will soon lead a large number of cannon fodder to come over and then perform the previous action again.
