Although the Tiangong's fire coverage did not damage the laboratory, the vegetation on the island suffered a lot, and only a little bit of green remained near the laboratory.
It is no longer suitable to continue garrisoning troops here, not only due to the vegetation problem on the island, but also because aliens are eyeing Buha Island. Although this wave of attacks was crushed by the Tiangong, what about the next wave?
The bugs had escaped, and there was no point in leaving the laboratory on Buha Island. After receiving the news, the Northern Capital simply ordered the garrison to evacuate.
The garrison cannot be withdrawn just because it is withdrawn. In addition to the troops' own supplies and equipment, the research materials and various results in the laboratory must be withdrawn.
Research data is much more important than the supplies for the garrison. He Xiangdong ordered the troops to carry experimental equipment first, and the troops' own supplies and equipment to be put behind.
The Tiangong is still over Buha Island and can provide He Xiangdong with fire cover for two hours. When the Tiangong leaves, the aliens may launch another attack at any time.
Time was very tight, so He Xiangdong took matters into his own hands and worked with the soldiers to move the equipment and deliver everything that could be taken away from the laboratory to the warship.
The insect swarm hiding in the sea tried to land several times in the past two hours, but was intercepted by the firepower from the Tiangong, and did not even get to the edge of the island-defending troops.
After several consecutive failures, the aliens also understood that continuing to attack was thankless, so they simply didn't waste any effort. He Xiangdong and his soldiers finally evacuated the laboratory to the ship within two hours.
In view of the aliens' eager gaze, Beidu decided to abandon the supplies on the island, and all troops immediately evacuated Buha Island.
In this way, the warships conducted a round of devastating bombardment on the defender's material storage point. After confirming that the remaining materials on the island were destroyed, the two warships weighed anchor and set out to sea, heading towards Kalidan Island, which is located on the west side of Buha Island.
The situation in Kalidan is similar to that of Buha Island. There are wild swarms of swarms everywhere. Except for a few human settlements, the original cities and transportation systems have long been destroyed by the insect swarm.
However, the two orbital elevators under Beidu are placed on Kalidan Island. The military has built a complete defense system around the orbital elevator, including ground fortifications, air defense positions, missile positions, air force bases and a military port. It is Beidu on the equator.
The most important military base in the region.
The defenders of Buha Island were ordered to withdraw to the Equator Base, where they would rest for a period of time and wait for the military's rearrangement.
Now is the critical point when the Turkish foreign fleet is approaching. All the troops in the country have arranged their tasks. No troops are idle, and the defenders on Buha Island are naturally no exception.
Most of the troops guarding the orbital elevator are from the Marine Corps. He Xiangdong and his troops are also part of the Marine Corps, so he has a hunch that 80% of his troops will stay at the Equator base and become part of the defenders.
Looking at Buha Island drifting away, He Xiangdong knew that he would never have the chance to catch the escaping insect man in his life. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and disappointed in his heart.
He Xiangdong did not know that at this moment, the insect man, whom he had not been able to find, was watching the warships move away from Buha Island.
It happened to be a coincidence that in order to avoid the defenders last night, John led the bugs into the dense jungle, which happened to avoid the satellite search.
John had been planning for this day for a long time. After leaving the battlefield, he immediately led the team to change the route to the west. Seeing tricks along the way, he rushed to the west coast of Buha Island as quickly as possible and dived into a natural cave not far from the coast.
.
This place was discovered when we landed on Buha Island two years ago. The entrance to the cave is not big, but the interior is very deep. The structure of the cave is very complex, and there is an underground river flowing from the cave to the sea. It is simply the best hiding place.
place.
More importantly, this was once a hiding place for a group of pirates. When we first discovered this place, there were three ships hidden in the cave, including advanced speedboats, half-new fishing boats, and even a
A white sailing yacht stolen from somewhere.
Before arriving at the cave, John had been worried about the situation here. It was not until he entered the cave and found that the ship hidden in the cave was still intact that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally escaping to the cave, John did not relax. He was worried that the defenders would catch up and he would be discovered by aliens.
To this end, he arranged for a few people to guard the entrance of the cave, while others took the time to check the condition of the ship.
The speedboat is too small, and the equipment on it has been finished long ago, and is of no use at all; the situation of the fishing boat is not much better, the cave is damp and dark, the anti-rust paint on the hull is mottled, and when you touch it, there are layers of rust spots
Fall down; the sailing yacht is not much better, but it is the one in the best condition among the three boats, and the internal space is not bad. It can be squeezed into the boat and everyone can be packed in without any problems.
.
However, good condition of the ship does not mean that it can go to sea. Although the distance between Kalidan and Buha Island is not far, everyone's safety cannot be left in the hands of a broken ship.
So John led people to inspect the sailboat overnight... He said he led people to inspect, but in fact he just followed it. There was another person who was specifically responsible.
In this way, John and others were busy until dawn, only taking a look near the entrance of the cave when the Tiangong was covered by fire.
The humidity on the island is high, and the laser forms an obvious light path in the air. Insects can clearly see the laser falling from the sky with the naked eye.
The moment he saw lasers scattering all over the sky, John couldn't help but said: "The insect swarm is over!"
Just as he said, the insect swarm was indeed finished, and many people were gearing up to leave Buha Island.
John also wanted to leave quickly, but he knew that there were battleships from Beidu near Buha Island. If he left rashly at this time, he would immediately appear on the radar of the battleship. If the battleship came over with a cannon, he would die without knowing how.
So John decided he had to wait a little longer and patiently convinced the others.
For this reason, John was even prepared for a protracted war. Even if he hid in a cave for ten days and a half, it would be no problem. However, he did not expect that the defenders would withdraw so quickly. Early in the morning, the soldiers on sentry duty
Chong saw two warships sailing away from Buha Island.
John couldn't believe his eyes. After the excitement, caution returned to his brain, and he began to worry that Beidu had just withdrawn the warships and that the defenders would still remain on the island.
So he persuaded everyone to wait for a while until the warship sailed out of sight, and then sent a few scouts out of the cave to explore the situation on the island.
A few hours later, the returning scout bugs brought back good news that all the defenders had evacuated, but they also brought back bad news that the bug swarm had landed again.
After hearing this, John let out a sigh of relief and was not worried about the insect swarm at all - the insect swarm was much easier to deal with than the defenders!
