On the main road in the 19th district of the city, ground traffic is congested, residents and tourists are crowded on the sidewalks, and even the airships that shuttle through the airways are close to each other.
After all, it is the time when get off work and school are over in the area, and people want to get home early, or rush to attend wine parties or dinners.
However, a sudden change occurred in the center of District 19, the most prosperous area, putting everything on pause.
I saw a rectangular "portal" with a diameter of four kilometers in the center and a light blue light emitting from the edge. Vehicles and airships that were flying normally had no time to slow down and drove straight from the very modern streets into the rugged road.
The bumpy Gobi desert.
And in neighborhoods with blind spots...
"what happened?'
"I do not know.'
The drivers who were originally complaining and pushing each other, now because of the continuous muffled sound and faint vibration, instantly abandoned their previous suspicions and became curious about the unknown changes.
The elite dressed in a suit and shirt looked around, shrugged, and echoed: "Maybe it's an earthquake?"
"It can't be an earthquake, earthquakes are not like this." A driver shook his head.
Soon, due to the complete traffic jam ahead, more and more drivers left their vehicles and walked through the traffic to chat and discuss. Especially the male drivers liked to analyze it carefully at this time.
"Boom, boom, boom...
But not long after, the earthquake on the ground became more and more obvious.
"Buzz~-Hmm----"
And sirens sounded throughout the metropolitan area.
At this time, a large number of Sheriff's airships and transport boats also appeared above the streets and continued to broadcast: "All residents, please stay away from District 19 immediately. Please stay away from District 19 immediately. We will assist everyone in orderly evacuation. Don't panic.
All residents.”
Hearing the siren and the radio made the driver, all residents, and pedestrians realize that the situation was no longer what they were talking about.
Immediately afterwards, the police officer wearing a mechanical skeleton began to guide people to evacuate to the outskirts of District 19 in an orderly manner with loaded guns.
The two drivers who had the first conflict were hesitant, obviously reluctant to part with their cars. However, the "enthusiastic" elite driver put a hand on one driver's shoulder, smiled and tried to persuade him, while using far more powerful words than usual.
Human strength took the two drivers away from here.
"Boom!!"
But before the elites and the others had gone far, the earthquake on the ground became stronger and stronger, as if the source of the earthquake was very close at hand.??
The elites could not bear to look back.
!!
This look made the elite who had the height advantage involuntarily show a look of panic, because he saw a "swarm of insects" in Wuyang.
The "bug" running at the front has a hard yellow and black exoskeleton, a flat body and head, and its mouth is separated up and down, like a huge crab claw. Moreover, while it is crawling quickly, its other
The sharp toes can easily pierce vehicles along the way.
insect
Thousands and tens of thousands of these giant bugs gather together, and the visual impact makes even fighting races like elite drivers feel solemn.
The speed of the insect swarm was extremely fast, and those who could not dodge were pierced by their toes or cut off at the waist by their pincer-like mouthparts. They suffered heavy casualties and were about to catch up with the elites.
"Ouch!!"
Elite roared, and easily lifted up the two drivers who were still arguing with his left and right hands, and then threw them forward with all his strength, throwing the two guys out of the danger range as much as possible. Then he turned around and took out the chip-shaped device from his pocket.
Holding the phone in hand, his eyes were fixed on the insect with its mouth open, trying to cut him into pieces.
It seems that this elite driver wants to rely on the only hard object (mobile phone) to have a bare-handed fight with the bugs.
Although in a one-on-one situation, the odds of winning against the bugs for this sedentary office elite should be "50-50", but what happens after winning? His outcome will definitely be to be swallowed up by the swarm of bugs.
But even so, he would rather face the swarm and fight to the death than choose to die a cowardly death by running away and being stabbed or bitten to death.
However, before the elites could confront the bug, a police officer had already pointed the muzzle of the pulse rifle at the bug's body and pulled the trigger.
"Tat-tat-tat!" The crisp sound of a gun firing extremely fast.
"Bang~! Bang~! Poof!!"
The dense shellless pulse bombs produced a low-intensity explosion the moment they came into contact with the hard exoskeleton, successfully lifting off the insect's "outer armor" and causing serious damage to its internal organs and flesh, causing light green blood to spurt out.
"howl!!'
The severe pain and threat of death caused the insect to scream sharply.
In this regard, the police officer was naturally not stingy with ammunition, and continued to pull the trigger to spray ammunition, and shouted to the elite: "Sir! Please get behind me! Hurry!'
"Ouch! Okay!" The elite just hesitated, then jumped a few steps away, came behind the security guard, and said: "Give me a weapon, and I will help you!'
"No sir, support is on the way. Please evacuate! We are responsible for this!" After killing the first bug, the Sheriff quickly turned his gun and continued to attack the remaining bugs.
Just when the elite ignored the words of evacuation and were about to stay and fight the swarm with the Sheriff, two large transport boats belonging to the Sheriff's Department lowered their height, hovered, opened the hatches on both sides, and let a group of people wearing simple power armor
, a special team equipped with high-cost equipment, armed with pulse and laser guns, jumped out of the cabin and landed hard on the streets.
"Quick, quick, quick! Spread the distance! Build a fire network!"
"yes!
"Team A is in place!"
"Team B is in position!"
"Fire! Kill these bitches!"
"Yes, sir!'
“Tap-tap-tap!!’
Almost as soon as they landed, the special team built a simple defense line, protected the police officer, elite driver, and many residents behind the defense line, and fired a volley of gunfire at the insect swarm in front of the defense line.
In an instant, the swarm's unscrupulous advance was finally contained, and after a salvo of gunfire, the special team discovered that the "old" and "cheap" pulse firearms seemed to be more powerful than the laser rifles purchased at a high price by their police department.
, machine guns are much more effective.
Because the high-energy beam emitted by the laser gun system will produce a "bounce" and "scatter" effect after hitting the insect's exoskeleton, it should have been invincible, but now it is unscathed. However, live ammunition such as caseless pulse bullets, on the contrary It can effectively attack bugs, especially when the shellless pulse bomb explodes when it is injected into the bug's body, the effect is even more obvious.
"So people please evacuate this place immediately!'
The charge of the insect swarm was contained. The police officer quickly changed the magazine and signaled the elite drivers and all residents to evacuate in an orderly manner. Soon, only less than a hundred people were left on this street to continue the blocking mission, like a special police force. Special teams.
However, with the rapid consumption of ammunition and the necessary gap between magazine replacements, the insect swarm continues to advance.
According to this trend, it will take less than half a minute for the special team to give up the evacuation, but this will also mean that the neighborhood will be completely destroyed.
“Hoo___~!
However, a roar of engines stopped the special team's retreat plan, because a transport aircraft named "Eagle Scream", which was comparable to a large transport boat, appeared in the sky and opened its tail hatch.
"Ahahaha! Bug! It's a bug!'
"No! Brother! These are all achievements!"
"Never mind them! For father! For the wolf king! Kill them!"
"kill!!'
Following a burst of metallic bickering and noise, the Space Wolf reservists wearing Ceramic Armor Type II, painted in gray-yellow, decorated with animal teeth, skulls, and embroidered "Human Truth" strips, rushed to the front. Jumped down from the sky.
"Boom! Boom!"
"Poof! Boring!"
Within a few milliseconds of completing the hard landing, the wolf pups had already adjusted their postures, locked the muzzles of their bolters on their respective targets, and fired quickly.
"Pfft! Pfft!'
The power of a .75cal caliber bolt bullet with a purified deuterium core and a diamond warhead is not comparable to that of 6mm and 8mm caseless pulse bullets.
One or two bolt shells can easily kill a bug, so under the watchful eye of the special team, this combat platoon of the Wild Wolf reserve carried out the "pest eradication" operation with an efficiency far beyond imagination, and even started to counterattack. Go forward, facing the swarm of insects, and push towards the "portal" located in the center of District 19 of the city.
The reserve platoon leader, who doesn't like to wear a helmet, has a bald head and a beard, holds a bolt pistol in his left hand and wields a chainsaw sword in his right hand, rushing directly into the crowd of pets.
"Buzz~! Bah...Bil!!" The chain sword, which spun rapidly and had a decomposition stance, easily split the insect that was similar in height to the Astartes into two.
"Ah ha ha ha, it feels so good!" Green blood splashed on the platoon leader's armor and cheeks. Instead of making him feel sick, he could not help but exclaim loudly.
After all, there were no big battles, no expeditions, and no raging storms in different spaces. It was not easy to gain military merit, not to mention the wild wolves who were naturally restless and prone to fights. The wolf cubs were so aggrieved.
Now that bugs are delivered to the door, not to mention how excited the wolf cubs are.
"Death! Die! Die!'
The wolf platoon leader roared loudly again, attached the empty bolt pistol to the outer thigh armor, then made a fist with his left hand, and with a "Puff!!", he smashed the body of an insect at a speed that produced an afterimage.
View from above.
Countless insect swarms centered on the portal, wreaking havoc on the busiest street in District 19
However, as thousands of reservists arrived one after another, the main ships of the Wild Wolf Corps entered the atmosphere, provided artillery support, and also dropped nearly 5,000 soldiers equipped with Mjolnir Mark 5, 6 and 7 to the ground. The wild wolves, as well as the nearly one million legion auxiliary troops who had switched to the Gauss gun type, directly "hit the head" and wiped out the raging insect swarm in the shortest possible time.
Even so, City District 19 was brought to a standstill due to a sudden attack by an unknown insect swarm. Economic losses were put aside for the time being. The human losses were being counted, but it could be said to be between 1.60 and 1.75 million people.
You must know that the time period when the portal is opened is when residents are getting off work and school, and the bustling areas in the center of the region are densely crowded, so the number of 1.60 to 1.75 million is still an optimistic estimate, and the actual number may be higher.
Although for mankind as a whole, it is a completely insignificant loss and may not be replenished in a day, but.
With a sound of "Boom!!!", the solid wood desk was smashed into pieces by his right fist.
"Damn it! How dare a mere insect make such a noise?! Are you still on my fucking territory?!"
In Nuo Da's office, the roar of a primary body resounded.
I saw Russ, who was wearing an oversized dark gray formal suit, with blond hair pulled back and a beard. He was already over 4.7 meters tall without wearing the Wolf King armor. He stood up angrily and used too much force with his right hand. , the custom-made solid wood table was chipped into pieces with one punch.
Because the portal that released the unknown Zerg was actually in the Oslo sector under his jurisdiction, and it was also on Fenris, the capital of the sector!
In other words, the straight-line distance between the portal and his office building is only about two hundred kilometers.
How can you bear this?!
Also, why do every major event and war happen in his Oslo sector?
However, before Russ could open the holographic communication to contact his father, the holographic device in the office showed a holographic image of Sui Bian.
"Father." Ruth's face changed in a second, and he immediately restrained his previous anger.
"Yeah." Sui Bian responded softly and walked slowly to Ruth. Seeing the scrapped solid wood table, he couldn't help but shook his head and warned: "I've told you so many times, but I still can't remember it."
"I'm sorry. Father, it's mainly civilians who suffered heavy injuries, ugh." Russ said deflatedly, with a sad expression on his face.
"Those who achieve great things cannot be limited to the past." Sui Bian did not rebuke, but patiently taught: "Since the matter has already happened, you have to consider how to deal with it and how to solve it. So, child, tell me, where is the capital of your star district now? What should you do if a door is created that can no longer be concealed or hidden, and can lead to another universe, another earth space?"
Hearing this, Ruth frowned slightly and fell into thinking.
Obviously, this is his father testing him, and the "abnormal phenomenon" of the space gate is top secret. After all, it is to prevent different spaces from corroding other parallel universes.
However, this space gate is four kilometers in diameter and has caused heavy casualties. It cannot be handled by faking a collapse accident like the space gate in Zero-One Universe ("The Matrix").
After pondering for a moment, Russ tried to say: "Disclosure to the public, this is the first time we have encountered an abnormal event in a parallel universe." "Very good, then what?" Sui Bian had no objection.
"Then." Russ pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said firmly: "Then declare war on the Zerg that attacked us, launch an expedition to another universe, and bring it under our human command!
"That's right." Sui Bian nodded with satisfaction, and added: "Not only the Zerg, but also the humans in that universe... are also one of the goals of the expedition, and they are the ones you need to pay attention to. exist."
