Chapter 481 The Great Devourer Transferred and Broken
boom!!
The final "flare" created by the rear admiral and the crew can be clearly observed even on the surface of the atmosphere.
After all, the Zerg fleet is approaching from the sunny side of Teroker, with millions of living battleships and transport ships covering the sky, and the "bright light" of the Yandu class is particularly eye-catching.
The UNSC fleets that returned to the atmosphere according to the order of the major general were parked above the energy shields in the core area of the city.
at this time.
The 29th district of the city belongs to the outer zone.
Near the edge of the energy shield, inside one of the bunkers.
"May your souls rest in peace. The cold brilliance of the Lord of Humanity will sweep away all the chaos and evil in other dimensions for you."
All the intern sisters knelt on one knee, touched their decorations about "Human Truth", and mourned the major general and others with great piety.
"."
The Iron-Blooded Captains and scouts stationed here with them opened their helmets, held their respective weapons in both hands, and silently listened to the sisters' heavenly voices.
After finishing their condolences, the sisters stood up.
The Iron-Blooded Captain and the scouts also closed their helmets again, returned to their respective posts, and continued to pay attention to outside trends.
No matter what, the atmosphere in this bunker cannot be lively at all.
Because they lost orbital control, they also lost a senior general, and the size of the unknown Zerg main fleet far exceeded previous estimates.
They are confident that they will persist until the arrival of the Thirteenth Legion, but they cannot imagine what the unknown Zerg are capable of.
Shortly after.
Tanya and Celestine stayed on the right side of the bunker, looking at the sky through the observation window, and through the simulated star map on the holographic screen, they could "clearly" see a million living battleships, surrounding Tigrell.
Live, package.
At the same time, the sky also became gloomier and darker.
Regular communications failed.
Psychic detection failed.
Only quantum communication remains normal, making Tyroker not completely isolated from the outside world.
But this cannot avoid the fact that wherever the unknown Zerg go, everything seems to be plunged into darkness and silence.
Moreover, when the psyker among the official battle sisters tried to use his psychic powers to pry into the thoughts of the unknown Zerg, he was almost counterattacked by the opponent.
Fortunately, the psyker ended her spying in time, otherwise she would end up either dead or mad. This also shows that the unknown Zerg has a higher consciousness, which ordinary psykers alone cannot compete with.
Tanya and Celestine were still watching the content presented on the holographic screen.
After the insect swarm fleet completed the encirclement, it released an even denser number of insects that broke through the atmosphere, descended on the surface and began to wreak havoc...
"eating".
That's right, eating.
The low-intelligent artificial intelligence that continuously monitors Tyroker found that countless bugs swallowed every living thing in sight as soon as they arrived on the surface.
Moreover, they will also release some kind of living plants, which will quickly erode and take root in the soil, causing sudden changes in the ecological environment.
Almost instantly, what was originally a vibrant green rainforest, after some manipulation by the unknown Zerg, turned into a corrupt and festering swamp green, although it was still "green".
Immediately afterwards, those living battleships that came into the atmosphere would lower their huge, thick sucking tubes to suck up all the soil that had turned into a "thick soup" and "swamp".
After a while, the low-intelligent artificial intelligence lost its surveillance vision because various facilities were destroyed by the insect swarm.
"Good guy..." After seeing what the insect swarm did to Tyroker, Tanya couldn't help but sigh: "This insect swarm is even more exaggerated than the Flood, and they simply can't get enough to eat..."
"The Great Devourer." Celestine agreed.
"Yes, Great Devourer, your word describes it very aptly."
Tanya nodded in agreement, then she turned the holographic screen in front of her left eye back to shooting assist mode, and looked at the sky in the distance, feeling melancholy:
"Hey... I didn't expect that we had just been practicing for a month and we encountered an unprecedented Zerg attack. And this big devourer can shield and isolate psychic energy. So what do you think... can the chairman of the board keep an eye on us?"
"..." Celestine did not respond immediately.
After a few seconds of silence, he replied: "The spiritual energy is isolated and blocked, so naturally our prayers cannot reach the chairman. And Sergeant Ran Ze should not have the right to contact the chairman directly, but the Thirteenth Legion
The original body is definitely possible, but..."
Celestine was unable to say the next words.
Because the primarchs of the Thirteenth Legion belong to the new generation, they are as young and vigorous as them. How can they easily apply for assistance from the Chairman, or other legions, or primarchs when faced with Zerg enemies who can earn enough achievements?
?
Only the Red Queen and the White Queen can notice Tyroker's situation immediately and then report it to the Chairman.
However, deep down in their hearts, Celestine and the sisters always felt that the Chairman would pay more attention to the thoughts and opinions of the original body.
There is no way around it. Although they claim to be the daughters of the Chairman (the Lord of Mankind), they are not related by blood at all, and the Primarch is the "blood son" of the Lord of Mankind.
If the Primarch of the Thirteenth Legion wants to show off, the Chairman may acquiesce and will not directly lend a hand for rescue unless necessary.
After all, the chairman is not concerned about a certain planet or a certain universe, but the multiverse and tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of planets and colonies, so it is absolutely impossible to focus on one point continuously.
"Boom...boom..."
At this time, there was a faint vibration on the ground, causing Tanya, Celestine, and everyone in the bunker to look outside.
I saw living battleships attacking from the sky overwhelmingly, releasing at least hundreds of millions of insects, trying to attack the urban area with the entire population of the planet.
"All personnel be prepared, we are about to launch the first round of artillery strikes." On the communication, a reminder came from the elite captain.
The voice fell.
"Shua...shua..."
Tanya, Celestine and the others saw hundreds of missiles passing above with white trails, and then heard the whistling sound of the missiles.
Thousands of missiles dispersed the distance and rushed straight into the incoming insect swarm, and then...
Ri~——!!
White light and blue light appear suddenly.
This caused Tanya, Celestine and the others to narrow their eyes slightly and raise their hands in front of themselves to shield themselves.
"boom!!!!"
When the light was about to dissipate, they heard a deafening explosion.
Put your hands down.
I saw that the suburbs at this time had been reduced to purgatory, everything was burned and destroyed, and even the incoming insect swarms were wiped out and "purified".
really.
To deal with dense enemies like insect swarms, dropping plasma bombs and anti-matter bombs in the atmosphere is one of the best options.
Although Tyroker's UNSC fleet does not have the authority to equip Nova nuclear bombs sufficient to carry out an extermination order, it still has a reserve of more than 10,000 plasma bombs and anti-matter bombs with conventional yield (no more than 20 grams).
Hot, scalding air waves swept around.
"Buzz~!!"
However, the energy shield generated in City Area 29 easily offset the aftermath of the intrusion, and the salvo of thousands of missiles also easily defeated the first round of the unknown Zerg's offensive.
However…
The opponent had no fear at all, and saw clearly that the advantage it had was numerical superiority, so it began to gather troops and rush towards the metropolitan area.
At the same time, the opponent launched an orbital bombardment. Huge bioplasma cannons continued to fall from the sky, continuously bombarding the two Steadfast-class ships and four Paris-class ships of the UNSC fleet, as well as the entire metropolitan area.
Faced with such an offensive, the UNSC fleet had to withdraw within the energy shield range of the metropolitan area.
Even though the attack was fierce, the unknown Zerg could not disintegrate the defenses of the Teroker authorities in a short period of time.
Next.
Tanya, Celestine and the others saw outside the energy shield. Every once in a while, blue and white lights representing plasma bullets and antimatter bullets would appear.
However, not long after, they heard another command from the elite captain on the communication: "Everyone will retreat to City Area 01 immediately. At the same time, the ministries from Areas 02 to 12 will also escort civilians to City Area 01."
Hearing this, the trainee sisters were doubtful, but they still followed the order and followed the Iron-blooded Captain and the reconnaissance company to withdraw from the bunker and come to the empty streets.
"Gah..."
Seemingly seeing the confusion of the intern sisters, Captain Ironblood walked slowly to them and explained: "It seems that the enemy's artillery fire is fierce, and the superiors need to focus all their energy on maintaining the energy shield in Area 01. This
We had no choice but to have everyone evacuate to Area 01."
In fact, when Sergeant Ranze, Zack Redfield and others moved the people of the entire planet and concentrated them in the urban area, they took into account the fierce artillery fire of the unknown Zerg and then invested all their energy in Area 01.
back up plan.
Therefore, most civilians are concentrated in 01, and areas 02 to 12. In this way, when the backup plan is activated, time can be saved and efficiency improved as much as possible.
As for not doing this at the beginning, it is because the top management still has a certain "illusion" that they can preserve the urban area that has been operating for nearly half a century.
But the current situation shows that not only the metropolitan area cannot be preserved intact, but even Tyroker will be eaten clean by the unknown Zerg.
"Hey..." Even after hearing the explanation from Captain Ironblood, one of the sisters couldn't help but sigh: "In this case, we will really be fighting with our last resort and there will be no way out."
"A last-ditch fight?" When Tanya saw that the sisters' morale was relatively low, she immediately clenched her right fist and waved forward, raising her voice and said: "Aren't many classic battles in history always a last-ditch fight? I believe that we can also create miracles!
What's more! It's just a transfer now. The navy is firing missiles and the army artillery is doing saturation bombing. There is nothing to worry about for the time being."
"That's right." A sister who was also militant immediately agreed.
"." Celestine didn't express any opinions, because she always felt that Tanya was more clumsy, but she still nodded in agreement.
After learning about their superiors' intentions, the intern sisters, the 3rd Battalion under the command of the elite captain, a reserve combat team, and many friendly troops took air and ground rail trains to transfer.
When everyone including them withdrew from Area 29 and arrived at Area 20 of the city, Tanya, who was standing in the rear carriage, saw the energy shield in Area 29 dissipate on its own initiative.
Endless insects swarmed forward, and the first to fall was the bunker they had been stationed in, followed by the remaining defense lines, and then all the buildings collapsed one after another.
There was no resistance on the ground, so the insect swarm was overwhelming and swallowed up the entire area 29 in the blink of an eye.
"Boom! Boom!!"
Suddenly, they heard a violent explosion on the right side of the carriage, not far from them.
This caused them to quickly look out through the car window.
The orbital bombardment of the insect swarm shifted from initially covering all urban areas to concentrating firepower, and began to focus on "taking care of" areas 02 to 06 of the city.
Not only that, they also saw countless giant flying insects, waving rotten wings with holes, escorted by many small flying insects, attacking the anti-aircraft barrage regardless of casualties. It seemed that their target was also
Directly pointing to the 02 to 06 districts of the city.
Once the energy shields of these five metropolitan areas are broken, the escape route for nearly 100 million people will be cut off.
"Fuck!" Seeing this, Tanya exclaimed: "Did these insects make changes by chance, or were they carefully planned? Are they so smart?"
Immediately afterwards, the mission information displayed on the holographic screen was changed from "Retreat to City Area 01" to "Go to City Area 06, assist in evacuating civilians, and prepare to respond to the enemy."
This time, the elite captain did not continue to boost morale on the communication, but simply said: "Everyone, you have all seen the content of the mission. I don't need to remind you of any unnecessary matters. Just remember one sentence, if you see bugs, kill them."
!”
"Yes, sir!" Tanya, Celestine and others responded in unison.
Afterwards, the rail train carried everyone across the deserted streets and quickly rushed to the nearest District 06.
Arrive at the high-altitude site.
Get out of the car.
Tanya saw a Krieg battle team stationed on the platform equipped with exclusive power armor and wearing iconic helmets.
When they passed by these silent warriors, they saw that the other party was nodding, so they nodded in return.
soon.
The group of people came to the street below.
It was not as chaotic as imagined. The ground vehicles followed the guidance of the traffic police officer and drove towards Area 01 in an orderly manner, but at a relatively slow speed.
The same is true for air channels.
Many retired veterans armed with semi-automatic pulse rifles spontaneously left the opportunity to evacuate first to young people who had never received training.
elder?
No, eighty years old is the prime of life.
If there are old people, they are the first group to arrive in Tyroker, and they are also the most martial and moral colonists of the main universe. And most of these "old people" are retired veterans armed with firearms.
"Boom...boom..."
The Zerg's bombardment of energy shields was also constantly shaking everyone's minds. Although the streets were densely packed with people, they were surprisingly quiet.
"Huh...ha..."
Even while patrolling the streets, Tanya's breathing rate unknowingly increased a little.
"Crack...crack!!!"
In the end, it meant that the energy shield could no longer support it. At the same time, the shattering sound that no one wanted to hear was heard from above.
