In the bridge, chaos instantly broke out because of Wang Feng's shout.
Target disappears?
How could such a large worm mound disappear?
"Quiet!"
"Wang Feng, launch a storm missile to clear out the insect swarm and reposition a large-scale firepower."
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xingchen gave a loud shout and immediately issued the order calmly, without any sign of panic, as if he had expected it.
Since the more than 800 mechas are fixed on the outer shell armor of the battleship, that is to say, they are protected by the Houyi's shield.
The carrier-based mecha squadrons also entered the worm mound.
Therefore, Jiang Xingchen didn't have any pressure at all when using storm missiles to carry out strikes, and he didn't have to worry about hurting his own people.
It can directly clean up the insect swarm, and even rely on large-scale projectile coverage to determine whether the insect mound is still there.
Although, he had already predicted why the insect mound suddenly disappeared.
But no matter what, it still needs to be confirmed.
"Yes, Captain!"
"The second missile module, the 42nd launch port, the hatch has been opened, the Storm missile has been unlocked... launch!"
The next moment, a huge missile was shot out from the Houyi and flew towards the insect swarm.
More than ten seconds later.
boom!!
After the Storm missile arrived at the predetermined location, it was detonated directly. Hundreds of thousands of projectiles were fired outward in a spherical shape in all directions and continued to spread.
"Captain, preliminary assessment shows that the Storm missiles destroyed 5,700 war bugs, accounting for approximately 78% of the total war bug population."
"I don't care about the war insects. Have you found the insect mound?"
"No, the projectile has spread over a radius of 1,000 kilometers, and nothing has been found. If we wait a little longer, maybe..."
"No need to wait, that worm mound is no longer at the 38th node."
Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said.
"this..."
"Immediately check the status of the war bugs around the Hou Yi and the tail scorpions on the battlefield!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Soon, everyone discovered that the war insects still near the Hou Yi, as well as the thousands of tail scorpions on the battlefield, had fallen into a state of slow movement and unresponsiveness.
That means...
"That insect mound, did you escape?"
"If nothing else, it should be!"
After hearing Fu Wanting's words, Jiang Xingchen nodded and said.
"Then Lu Li and the others..."
"Of course I jumped with the insect mound!"
"Let's go rescue him quickly. It should be too late!"
"No, they can only rely on themselves!"
Jiang Xingchen shook his head here.
If you go to save them, most of them will be fine. After all, if you want to jump to the thousand-meter-level worm mound, you can only jump to the thirty-seventh node.
Therefore, as long as the Hou Yi sets off now, there is no problem in stopping it.
But Jiang Xingchen couldn't do this.
The reason is simple, the battle here is not over yet!
If the Houyi leaves, it will take at least twenty-eight minutes to return to the 38th node.
So, what will the fleet do in these twenty-eight minutes?
There are still dozens of insect mounds and about 1.5 million war insects on the battlefield.
Without the containment and firepower of the Descendant, I am afraid that the pressure on the fleet will become great, and many battleships may even be lost as a result.
Therefore, Hou Yi cannot leave now!
More importantly, Jiang Xingchen believed that Lu Li could handle this crisis well.
Moreover, as long as you don't make any wrong decisions, the risk is actually not great.
According to the long-established battle plan, after continuing to complete the task of blasting the worm mound internally, all we have to do is wait for the Houyi to be rescued in space.
"Chen Xiaoguang, turn to the target insect mound group!"
"Yes, Captain!"
------
at the same time.
The thirty-seventh node of the Nebula Channel.
Inside a kilometer-level insect mound.
"Commander, did you feel dizzy just now?"
"He's the acting commander. It's because of the jump from Insect Mound."
Although Lu Li was unable to communicate with the other four routes due to the communication interference in the Worm Mound, the pilots in his own route could still rely on laser communication.
After hearing his pilot's doubts, Lu Li immediately replied.
However, his answer immediately shocked everyone.
"Acting Commander, you said the Worm Mound has jumped?"
"Yes, but this does not affect our mission. After reaching a sufficient depth, deploy the cold nuclear fusion bomb, then evacuate, blow up the insect mound and wait for the Houyi to rescue, that's it!"
When everyone heard this, it seemed that this was what happened?
Indeed, regardless of whether the insect mound has jumped or not, it will have no impact on their mission.
Just keep focusing on finishing.
After understanding this, everyone felt a lot more at ease.
Anyway, the Raider mecha can sustain itself in the universe for more than ten hours.
After all, there's no way the Houyi wouldn't come to the rescue within ten hours, right?
Since there is no problem, let's continue.
Therefore, a group of pilots, led by Lu Li, continued to follow the insect path and explore deeper.
"Acting Commander, we currently have enough depth, and we even have a lot of wealth."
"Well, it should be no problem. Just stay here and deploy the cold fusion bomb immediately. Remember to disguise yourself."
"clear!"
------
Two minutes later.
The Lu Li team completed the bomb deployment mission and successfully escaped from the insect mound.
I don’t know if those war insects rushed out to deal with the Hou Yi before the jump, or they didn’t notice their invasion of the insect mound?
All in all, Lu Li and the others didn't encounter any fighting bugs and the journey was smooth.
Soon, Ye Yunzhou, Shen Lang, and Leng Yuntian each led their own squadrons out of the Worm Tomb.
Among them, Ye Yunzhou, like Lu Li, completed the deployment of the cold nuclear fusion bomb at a sufficient depth. The other two were unable to complete the deployment by the time limit and directly withdrew.
Look at the time, it's going to explode in just over a minute.
You know, with this kind of special interference, Lu Li and the others couldn't carry out long-distance detonation at all.
In order to solve this problem, the cold fusion bombs brought in by each team are all timed and set in advance.
This is why Lu Li emphasized before taking action that no matter whether the mission was successful or not, he must exit after three minutes.
Because Lu Li can't delay the detonation time, if you don't exit within the specified time, no one can save you.
"Acting Commander, the First Squadron hasn't withdrawn yet, I'm afraid it may be in trouble..."
"How about I bring someone in to help you?"
Ye Yunzhou has the best relationship with Qian Duoduo. At this moment, he also asked with a worried look on his face.
However, this proposal was immediately rejected by Lu Li.
"No, based on the current time, unless Qian Duoduo and the others withdraw on their own, you won't have enough time to leave if you want to go to the Worm Mound to look for them."
"Not only can't he be saved, but more people will get involved!"
Lu Li shook his head and said.
There was less than a minute left.
From leaving the worm mound to reaching a safe distance, it still takes 40 seconds.
In other words, it is impossible to go in and save people.
Because just going from the current safe point to the Worm Mound, and then returning to the safe point from the Worm Mound, will take 80 seconds.
Still doing nothing in the middle.
During this period, the cold fusion bomb deployed inside the worm mound had long ago exploded.
Therefore, unless Qian Duoduo escapes from the worm mound within 20 seconds and immediately opens a sufficient safe distance, there is no way.
Hearing Lu Li's words, Ye Yunzhou also nodded.
He was just too impatient just now, but after being reminded like this, how could he not understand?
But what’s going on with that guy with Duoduo Qian?
Ye Yunzhou's face was full of worry.
At this moment, several beams of light suddenly shot out of thin air at the location of the insect mound ahead.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes lit up.
You must know that even the tail scorpion releases only energy bombs, and this scarlet beam is obviously from the beam rifle of the raider mecha.
That is to say...
The first squadron commanded by Qian Duoduo!
The next moment, mechas began to appear out of thin air, but soon, many war bugs followed behind them, also appearing out of thin air, in increasing numbers.
Hundreds...
Thousands of them...
They are still appearing one after another.
"Attention everyone, adjust the beam rifle to sniper mode and cover the first squadron!"
