Chapter three hundred and ninety-two: 7321 gathering place
Rumble!!
People on the spacecraft looked up and saw an electromagnetic energy shield rising in the sky.
Although I can't see clearly in space.
But listening to the electromagnetic collision sound above the head, one can guess that the first wave of the Zerg advance army has arrived outside the Lapu planet.
boom!!
There was another explosion.
A red laser that penetrated the sky and the earth broke through the energy barrier and fell to the west.
Even in the spacecraft, everyone could feel the power of this blow. For a moment, the spacecraft shook and many buttons on the instrument panel exploded with sparks.
"No, the location being attacked seems to be Missili's electromagnetic energy supply tower."
Tu Xiongxing was born in martial arts.
With just one glance, he could tell that the Zerg attack was not accidental, but a targeted killing.
as expected.
The red laser that penetrated the sky and the earth dispersed, but there was no electromagnetic replenishment at the pierced location.
It looked like a bottle with a corner smashed off, and a huge gap appeared in the southwest corner of the electromagnetic defense network protecting the planet.
Buzz buzz...
The next second.
All kinds of ferocious and huge zerg species that were swallowing energy began to invade from the gap.
There is also a female insect with a bloated body and a flesh crown on its head.
They are like space battleships. As soon as they enter the sky of Lapu Star, they begin to spray spores outward.
These spores were wrapped in fleshy cocoons and fell to the ground. They soon hatched into two to three meters tall, murderous Zerg cannon fodder units, lightly armored Zerg warriors.
"accelerate..."
Tu Xiong withdrew his gaze.
Everything he saw told him that all the planetary defense weapons outside Lapu had been destroyed by the Zerg.
Next, there will be a difficult internal defense battle of the planet.
A human base will resist layer by layer in the form of a fortress. Ordinary people will hold energy weapons and engage in bloody urban street battles with these low-level Zerg warriors.
If they can resist, the subsequent human fleet will rescue them.
If not.
Human beings will be turned into food for the Zerg, some will be killed, and some will be raised in captivity.
Planet Lapu will become an outpost of the Zerg. The Zerg will transform it into a livable planet just like humans, and will continuously produce Zerg fleets until the planet is recaptured or destroyed by the humans.
boom!
The spacecraft flew towards the North Pole military base.
As the distance increased, the base slowly began to come into view.
Just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the spacecraft shook violently, and a second beam of light fell from the sky.
This beam of light struck hard on the shield above the base.
Like a biscuit crushed by a foot, the force field shield was shattered at the touch of a foot, and then the red light continued unabated, like a rainbow penetrating the moon, hitting the sky above the base heavily.
boom!!
Fire shot into the sky.
On the spaceship, everyone's cameras were silent.
Because in just a moment, the North Pole Base, which had been bustling with people just now, was completely wiped out in front of everyone.
Looking at the fire outside the window, there are also Zerg warriors howling in the sky.
Everyone didn't know whether they should be thankful that they didn't reach the base, otherwise they would have been smashed together by the laser.
Still lost, the North Pole base was destroyed, the large spaceship was destroyed in the dock, and the hope of escaping from Lapu was shattered.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
In silence.
The Zerg warriors below also discovered the spacecraft where Zhang Heng and others were.
One after another, green and plump worms with big bellies raised their buttocks and pointed at them.
Bang bang bang!!
Balls of white plasma were thrown into the sky as they writhed.
This type of Zerg unit that can emit plasma is the armor-breaking unit used by the race to clean up the surface of the earth, the electromagnetic bug.
boom!
With the volley of more than a dozen electromagnetic bugs, the left wing of the spacecraft was suddenly impacted.
While Tu Xiong operated the spaceship to dodge, he said to Zhang Heng in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, the North Pole base has been defeated. We may not be able to get out in a short time. In this case, I suggest returning to the base city and holding on.
Waiting for support from the Federation fleet."
Hear this.
Zhang Heng showed no reaction and just looked out the window quietly.
What no one noticed was that thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were reflected between his eyes, like a satellite scanning the entire Lapu Star.
"Mr. Zhang?"
Tu Xiong thought Zhang Heng was in a daze and couldn't help shouting again.
Zhang Heng came back to his senses and said: "Since the Zerg want to capture Lapu Star, the major bases must be their primary attack targets. If my prediction is correct, the major base cities should be surrounded by layers of layers by now.
Among them, it is unrealistic to rush in at this time. If you do not do well, you will be shot down."
aside.
Seeing that what his father said was reasonable, Zhang Yan also said with pride: "Captain Tu, I'm afraid you don't know. My father is a little fatter now, but when he was young, he served in the Northern Fleet.
The famous bug scavenger, he has killed not ten thousand but eight thousand bugs."
this...
Tu Xiong was stunned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Heng looked fat and fat, like a pig king, and had such fighting power when he was young.
"It's all in the past."
Zhang Heng shook his head slightly.
What can he say? When his predecessor served in the Northern Fleet, he only managed logistics in the fleet dock.
Afraid that his son would look down on him, he boasted that he was a member of the Mecha Special Forces and that he had fought and killed with his comrades, going through life and death.
Actually.
Those so-called dangerous missions were just to invite the mecha warriors to drink. From what I heard, the real situation was that they had served for five years and had not even killed a chicken.
But Tu Xiong didn't dare to think so.
Hearing that Zhang Heng was a mecha veteran who had been on the interstellar battlefield, he was in awe for a moment: "I'm afraid you'll laugh if I tell you. I originally wanted to sign up for the interstellar fleet, but unfortunately I wasn't selected, so I had to settle for the next best thing and sign up.
The Planet Guard has become an armored warrior."
Armored warriors, not mecha warriors.
Armor, the full name is exoskeleton individual combat armor, is mainly used to equip the guard troops inside the planet.
Mechas are mostly used in interstellar mecha troops and are the sharp knives in the interstellar fleet.
The difference between the two words is actually a world of difference.
Just like in Western fantasy stories, the difference between a knight on horseback and a dragon knight is as big as that.
Although they are both knights, they are actually on two levels. Tu Xiong served on Lapu Planet for three years and became the captain of the armored team, but he has never even seen a mecha warrior, let alone come into contact with one.
.
"It's not enough to boast about how dirty I used to be."
"Forget about these things, let's fly the spaceship to get rid of the pursuers first, and we'll talk about other things later."
Jian Tu Xiong was very interested in his own experience.
Zhang Heng changed the topic and made it clear that he didn't want to talk.
Tu Xiong couldn't ask any more questions.
He had no choice but to pilot the spaceship with peace of mind and fly to a relatively remote area where there was no base city and would not be immediately besieged by the Zerg.
Boom boom boom...
There was a constant roar in the sky.
The array of laser cannons that fired indiscriminately and the electromagnetic bugs that kept counterattacking kicked off the offensive and defensive battle.
But in reality, it is destined not to be a tower defense game.
In just ten minutes, Zhang Heng discovered that several small base cities had been completely destroyed.
Bang!
Good luck has not always favored Zhang Heng and others.
Just as we flew over a hill here, an electromagnetic pulse hit us head on.
The spacecraft was caught off guard, and its tail engine was directly penetrated. It emitted black smoke and glided toward the ground.
At this time, everyone discovered that there was an electromagnetic insect in an attacking state lurking behind the hilltop.
"The spacecraft was seriously damaged, the engine damage rate was 78%, the power system was insufficient, and an emergency landing was required."
"Everyone, fasten your seat belts and prepare for the impact of the emergency landing."
Tu Xiong remained calm in the face of danger and drove the spacecraft to a hard landing.
With a burst of bumps and shaking, the spacecraft plowed a half-kilometer long deep hole in the forest, and finally stopped in front of a small river.
"Special force, check the equipment, bring supplies, activate the ship-borne land combat vehicle, and protect Mr. Zhang from leaving."
As soon as the spacecraft stopped.
Tu Xiong immediately unbuckled his seat belt and called the team members to start taking action.
Fortunately.
Because they were protected by the spaceship, everyone was not in serious trouble.
The land combat vehicle located inside the spacecraft was also found to be intact after preliminary inspection.
"Mr. Zhang, the sound of the spacecraft crashing is very loud. To avoid being surrounded by Zerg, we have to abandon the spacecraft."
Tu Xiong opened the door and, together with a team member, helped Zhang Heng onto the chariot.
As for why you don't go by yourself.
Sorry, Zhang Heng is too fat. He is so fat that it is difficult to climb up on his own.
"Land suspended combat vehicle."
"Lightly armored, equipped with two small laser continuous fire devices, a standard weapon of the planetary internal defense force, fully loaded with twelve people."
On the chariot.
Zhang Yan looked at the interior with a look of fondness, and whispered to Zhang Heng: "Dad, I drove this thing in the school's vehicle training class, and I also won first place in the obstacle driving event."
"low profile."
The old god Zhang Heng is here.
He also obtained the spaceship piloting skills from the memory of his predecessor. Did he say to let Tu Xiong come down and let him pilot the spacecraft?
no.
Professional things must be done by professional people.
Unless he is crazy, he will never ride in the land tanker driven by Zhang Yan, even if this child is his nominally cheap son.
"The electromagnetic bug that attacked us seems to be a lone electromagnetic bug. There are no Zerg troops gathering around it."
Sitting on a land chariot.
After a while, no Zerg was seen catching up. Tu Xiong said happily: "We should still be safe."
Hear this.
Zhang Heng's eyes were blank and he was a little distracted again.
After a moment, he came back to his senses and nodded slightly: "That's true."
"Captain, which way are we going?"
The team members drove the land tanker and looked at the forest in front of them with a confused expression.
"southwest..."
Zhang Heng didn't wait for Tu Xiong to speak and said: "I am from the Northern Fleet. Even if I retire and stay away from the battlefield, I have simulated the scene of Lapu Star being attacked by Zerg more than once. For this reason, I have simulated the various areas of Lapu Planet as follows.
Baojiazhen.
Captain Tu, you don’t need to look at the map. We are currently in 7321 Primeval Forest. If I remember correctly, there is a gathering place of savages in the southwest. In order to resist radiation, they dug out the ground and lived in it for a long time. There is no doubt that
This is a good place to hide from Zerg aerial surveillance."
Tu Xiong was stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but said respectfully: "You must have been a very powerful mecha warrior."
In Tu Xiong's thoughts.
If Zhang Heng was not a very powerful mecha warrior before, how could he still be accustomed to understanding his own environment after retiring?
This is definitely a good habit to develop in the mecha army.
Everywhere I go, I fully understand the appearance and characteristics of the place so that I can use it when necessary.
Unfortunately.
Zhang Heng didn't know what he was thinking.
Or what can I do if I know, my predecessor was an armored soldier, just pretending, fake.
The only thing they did was to eat canned food secretly in the rear, and one man wasted all the supplies for a company, and the soldiers were so thin that they were as thin as sticks.
"who?"
The chariot drove for more than ten minutes.
Along with an artificial cordon, several savages in ragged clothes and armed with crude weapons appeared in front of everyone.
"It's a savage!"
Everyone was in high spirits.
In fact, it's a savage.
They are not savages in the true sense of the word.
They are the natives of some planets. After the Federation occupies a planet, they will immigrate here.
If there were humans on this planet before, then these people would be labeled as savages, just like the Indians in the time of Columbus.
Under federal law, savages were not considered citizens, but inferior beings who were not protected by federal law.
They are the cheapest labor force, and the meaning of their existence is to dedicate everything to the citizens.
"Dad, is this a savage?"
Look at the savages blocking the road.
Zhang Yan and Zhang Yu both swallowed and said, "They look so disgusting."
"All savages are like this."
aside.
Tu Xiong explained in a low voice: "Due to identity issues, these savages cannot appear in cities where citizens live. They can only live in savage gathering places in the wild and engage in heavy industry and heavy pollution work."
"Due to long-term exposure to radiation and the lack of radiation protection equipment, many savages are more or less susceptible to radiation sickness, which manifests itself in hair loss, deformity, and body ulcers."
"And generally speaking, the lifespan of these savages is only forty or fifty years. They will reproduce very early, and the average childbearing age is only fourteen years old."
"Fourteen!"
Zhang Yu was a little bit tongue-tied.
What was she doing when she was fourteen years old? Because her mother did not allow her to go to Proxima to attend idol concerts without eating.
I can't even think about having a baby.
But among the savages, it has long been normal for teenagers to marry and have children.
"citizen!"
Seeing Tu Xiong and the others getting off the chariot, the savages looked at each other and subconsciously lowered their guns.
no way.
Savages are not considered human beings, and citizens who kill savages only need to pay part of the fine.
On the other hand, if there are savages who kill citizens, then sorry, you will not be the only one to die, the entire gathering place will be wiped out.
"I am Tu Xiong, the captain of the 103 Special Forces Team."
"The people in the car are Mr. Zhang Heng, a third-level citizen, and his family."
"Due to some external factors, we need your cooperation. Take us to your underground camp now."
Tu Xiong looked indifferent and did not give these savages a chance to refuse.
In fact.
They have no right to refuse, because everything on the planet Lapu belongs to the Federation, including these savages, who are also part of the Federation's property.
"What's going on outside?"
"We saw laser weapons firing and some huge, bug-like things flying in the sky."
Lead the way.
A savage asked cautiously on one side.
"Lap Star has been attacked, but there is no doubt that the winner will be the Federation."
Tu Xiong didn't explain too much.
Not to mention telling these savages that the Federation was at a disadvantage in the battle for Lapu Star.
Because it makes no sense.
The savages have little information and live in their own savage reserves and are not allowed to move around.
Most of them have never left a hundred miles away from the gathering place in their lives, and they don't even know what the Federation is, let alone the Zerg.
As for education.
It’s also spread through word of mouth, and it doesn’t even exist in your own school.
The only thing that is engraved in our bones is a sentence that has been brainwashed from generation to generation: "We are inferior people, and the meaning of existence is to create value for citizens."
“It stinks here!”
As we get closer to the gathering place of 7321.
The closer the distance, the worse the smell in the air.
Except for Zhang Heng, not to mention the Zhang Yan brothers and sisters, even Tu Xiong and his special forces members couldn't help but frown.
In fact, this is also a normal phenomenon.
Near the gathering place of 7321 Savages, there is a huge urban landfill.
The savages here rely on this garbage dump for a living, and from time to time they will check out good things and bring them back to trade with the caravans.
without any exaggeration.
The garbage dump is the basis for the existence of the gathering place of savages. Without the landfill, these savages would have starved to death long ago.
"Dear guests, welcome to the forest town."
Under the leadership of several savages.
Zhang Heng and his party arrived at the 7321 gathering place.
certainly.
Gathering Place 7321 is a federal number. For the savages living here, this is their hometown forest town.
At a glance.
The entrance to the forest town is at the foot of a mountain.
The savages hollowed out the mountain and dug out a town all the way down.
The arrival of Zhang Heng and others.
He was personally received by the mayor of the town.
Well, this is also a self-proclaimed mayor. According to the Federation, he is just the savage leader of the 7321 gathering place. The so-called mayor title is not recognized.
certainly.
This is true for the Federation.
For this gathering place, the old mayor is the privileged class and controls everything here.
If you sneeze, someone down there will catch a cold.
"No need to say polite words."
"This is the noble third-class citizen Mr. Zhang Heng and their families."
"There are some problems outside now, and we need your help, such as providing a safe and comfortable place to live, and helping us hide the chariot behind us."
"In return, when everything is over, we will give your gathering place generous rewards."
"Food, medicine, weapons, and even medical equipment are not a problem, as long as Mr. Zhang can survive safely, do you understand?"
Tu Xiong called the old mayor aside and said with a serious face.
After a while.
After whispering, Tu Xiong returned to Zhang Heng and whispered: "He is willing to help us at any cost, and does not ask for medicine, food, or even medical equipment. I just hope that you can agree to his request..."
"ask?"
Zhang Heng frowned slightly: "There are many deformed people in his settlement. They should be in great need of anti-radiation drugs, but you tell me that they don't need treatment?"
Tu Xiong whispered: "The savages in the gathering area need treatment, but the mayor does not. Rather than medicine and food, he hopes that you can help him become a...quasi-citizen after it is safe."
"Quasi-citizen!"
Zhang Heng nodded lightly.
The hierarchy of citizens is the foundation of the federal system.
Although it is possible for savages to become citizens, it is difficult.
Because before a savage can become a citizen, he must first become a quasi-citizen.
One of the conditions for becoming a quasi-citizen is to have 1 million credit points to prove that you are qualified for investment immigration.
In addition, three citizens must act as guarantors.
no doubt.
Rather than improving the appearance of the gathering place, what the old mayor wants to change more is his own situation, such as breaking away from the savage status and becoming a quasi-citizen.
I believe that as long as Zhang Heng nods.
For this opportunity, he must be the one who hopes Zhang Heng survives the most. For this reason, it doesn't matter if the entire 7321 gathering place is lighted.
If a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm.
Looking at the old mayor who was being supported by the savages and saying something in the middle, Zhang Heng sighed: "The savages looked at him with respect. I have reason to believe that he is a good and well-loved mayor.
.... He could have endured the darkness if he had never seen the light."
I come.
It is not to bring peace to the world, but to bring war to the world.
Let the son kill the mother, let the son stab the father.
Let brothers kill each other, let flesh and blood separate.
