On the dome more than ten meters high, several blue light balls flew out of the dark hole and hit the soldier who was trying to report the new discovery.
"careful!"
Someone in the cave yelled, but it was too late. Several electric light balls exploded on the soldiers' bodies, and powerful electric currents traveled between the bodies.
The soldier only convulsed for a moment, and then his body fell heavily to the ground. Burnt smoke came out from the gap between the body armor and the skin.
Qin Zhibo looked at the soldier. An investigation point appeared above his head. The man was obviously dead, and his face was blackened by electricity.
"Pay attention to concealment!"
"M.G. above us!"
Qian Xingyang shouted and took the lead in raising his pistol to counterattack.
Everyone else also raised their guns and pointed at the stone wall on the roof of the cave. However, due to extreme panic and the lack of continuous light source, the bullets could only be fired randomly without any accuracy.
Immediately afterwards, dozens more electro-optical balls flew out of the hole. Many electro-optical balls crackled on the ground, but they also hit several soldiers.
Some soldiers' bodies continued to twitch and convulse in place after being shot. Those who were hit by multiple bullets would be directly electrocuted to death.
When Qin Zhibo and Conan discovered that Mi Ge was in the cave, they immediately hid in the stone door in tacit agreement.
The thickness of this stone door is 0.5 meters. If it is to resist attacks from above, it can hide people.
However, Qin Zhibo's eyes couldn't believe it when he looked at the soldiers falling around him.
This Mi·Ge had deliberately set up a small ambush in the passage, with the ultimate goal of luring the enemy deep into the cave and leading humans into the deepest cave.
And they have long dug a new cave at the top of the cave to attack humans sneakily.
These alien beasts are so insidious!
Qin Zhibo couldn't help but sigh again at Mi Ge's cleverness.
Last time, it was Mr. Clock who used false information to design Qin Zhibo to use fake Panest fragments in front of Satugua.
Fortunately, Qin Zhibo accidentally discovered the real fragment that Mr. Clock was trying to steal in the Angel's Hall, so he did something counter-intuitive and framed Mr. Clock to death in front of Satugua.
When human beings face non-human creatures, they will instinctively develop a kind of "arrogance" and think that the other party is a being with low intelligence.
This arrogance comes from the thousands of years that humans have ruled the earth. Human beings have lost themselves at the top of the earth's food chain and regard themselves as beings of absolute intelligence, far superior to all living things.
For example, in alien movies shot by humans, intelligent aliens are arbitrarily set into humanoid forms, or even look exactly like humans.
Or in most of the beliefs and myths that humans worship, gods often have human images, or possess some human characteristics.
Human beings regard themselves as the embodiment of "wisdom" and will treat other non-human creatures with arrogance.
Mi·go is like this, a huge creature like a crustacean, without even facial features, with a curious and disgusting appearance.
Even though it has been popularized in advance that this is a highly intelligent race, humans will still treat it arrogantly and regard it as a race of beasts that rely on brute force to win.
But in fact, Mi Go really knows how to use some strategies that only humans can understand.
…
At the same time, Kudo Yusaku, the command center in the base camp, also noticed something unusual.
"Hello? Hello!"
"What happened?"
"...I...are...in danger..."
"ah!"
Zhi——
The radio signal was very unstable and the sound was intermittent. It was judged that the suicide squad had entered the deepest part of the mine and was too close to the Vespagna ore, so there was such a strong interference.
But when the interference was not so strong, all that could be heard from the public channel were the screams of soldiers, as if they had encountered some unexpected situation.
Next to him, Mouri Kogoro was also anxiously scanning the real-time image transmitted back by the combat helmet, but the screen signal had been completely lost at this time, and the screen was completely black.
"hateful!"
The angry Kogoro Mouri raised his hand and hammered the table.
Even Kudo Yusaku frowned and asked over and over again about the situation on the radio side.
The two people who were far away in the command center couldn't do anything. They couldn't even understand the situation on the scene.
Seeing this situation, "Conan" gritted his teeth and felt very anxious.
I don’t know the specific situation of the mine now, but it must be related to Mi Go.
We can't wait any longer, we must provide support as soon as possible!
"Conan" didn't care so much, he picked up a intact radio walkie-talkie on the table and rushed out of the camp.
The distance of 300 meters was not far, and he quickly ran to the position of the defenders at the entrance of the mine.
At this time, the defenders at the entrance of the mine had also learned that the situation of the death squads was not good. They seemed to have been attacked, causing heavy casualties.
Everyone's expressions were solemn, and the fear and anxiety in their eyes were not concealed at all.
Although Mi Go killed their relatives, friends, and their most beloved queen, this made them very angry, and blood rushed to their foreheads for a while.
But in the face of the most real danger, the remaining reason in their hearts still prevailed, and extinguished the fire in their hearts ignited by a small victory just now.
Especially when they heard the screams of their companions coming from the radio below, this only made them more frightened.
Just imagining facing ugly alien monsters everywhere in a dark and narrow underground passage makes them feel terrified.
They know that the suicide squads underground are in great need of support from above, but they know even more clearly that going to support them now is no different than risking death.
And he died at the hands of alien monsters in the most terrifying and darkest environment...
"Conan" came to the front of the formation with a walkie-talkie, but saw that every soldier here was staying behind the bunker, holding weapons in their hands, with no intention of entering the mine for support.
"Didn't you hear the radio?"
"There's something going on down there, let's go down there and rescue!"
The soldier closest to "Conan" glanced sideways at the lower pupil, then turned his head back silently, without any intention of paying any attention to him.
"Conan" looked at the soldier from the side, and the cold sweat on his cheeks gathered on the tip of his chin, falling on the bunker drop by drop.
The hands holding the handle of the gun were not trembling, which was the best he could do.
Facing the unknown fear is slowly eating away at the will of every soldier.
Not everyone can be like the protagonist of Alien, who dares to break into a lair occupied by monsters in order to save the life of a little girl.
"Conan" also saw the attitude of other soldiers from this soldier, and he understood instantly.
They won't go to the rescue.
Even if there is an order from temporary commander Kudo Yusaku, even if their companions scream on the radio, they will not go down.
They would rather accept the judgment of a military court than face the monster's lair.
Now, they are constantly hypnotizing themselves in their brains, telling themselves that all the underground suicide squads have been killed, so there is no reason to go underground.
Seeing this, "Conan" said nothing, passed through the gap between the bunkers, and ran straight to the entrance of the mine.
"Hello!"
"Danger, come back!"
The soldiers behind wanted to call out "Conan", but that short figure had already gotten into the darkness before all the tall adults.
…
The deepest part of the mine.
As a large number of electric light balls poured out, soldiers were continuously hit and fell to the ground.
Although Mi-Go's aiming ability was not very strong, there were too many electric guns that could not hold up, and they firmly held air superiority. The death squads soon suffered more than half of their casualties.
Qian Xingxing raised his gun to fight back and directed everyone to retreat.
"withdraw!"
"Quickly retreat!"
Suddenly, an electric light ball flew from above and hit Qian Xing's body impartially.
Qian Xing's body couldn't help but tremble, the nerves in his body spasmed violently, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
If an ordinary person is hit by a bullet from an electric gun, even if he is not stunned, he will be unable to move for a short time.
But Qian Xing only lay on the ground for two seconds, gritted his teeth, and stood up tenaciously.
This alien weapon is really fucking powerful...
With white smoke coming from behind, Koichi Qiangata dragged his slightly trembling body slowly toward the entrance of the cave, but before he could take two steps, a severe spasm of nerves in his thigh caused him to fall again.
At this time, a figure ran over from the side.
"Uncle..."
It was Lupine the Third. He helped Zenigata Yuichi up from the ground, took one of his arms and put it on his shoulders.
Qian Xingxing glanced at Lupine III's monkey face, and the smile on his face was a little helpless, "I didn't expect that I, a dignified policeman, would be saved by a thief one day..."
The corners of Lupine III's mouth raised slightly, "I am not an ordinary thief..."
"I am Lupine the Third~"
"Jiyuan, I'll leave the cover to you!"
"oh……"
Lupine the Third said to his companions behind him, and then dragged Koichi Zenigata straight towards the entrance of the cave.
Daisuke Jigen held the Barrett cannon with both hands and fired a shot into the hole above.
boom!
A bullet was fired, first a few drops of green pus flowed down, and then a Mi.G fell vertically from the dark hole.
Ishikawa Goemon saw the right opportunity, jumped up, and cut the carapace's body into several pieces in mid-air just as Mi.Go was about to land.
One Mi Go was summarily executed, but it still could not change the decline of the death squads.
The soldiers retreated towards the cave entrance, but during the retreat, some people were continuously hit by electric guns.
Qin Zhibo, who was hiding under the stone arch, knew that this was not a long-term solution, so he turned to look at Conan.
The two looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes what they were going to do next.
That is to break out from two directions and run towards the entrance of the cave.
Although Qin Zhibo's footsteps are faster, he cannot run with Conan in his arms.
Because of Conan's short stature, the theoretical hit area is smaller, and there is a bonus to luck, so the probability of being hit is actually lower.
If Qin Zhibo ran with Conan in his arms, the probability of being shot would be greater, and the light ball could shock two people.
Just when the two of them locked eyes and decided to disperse and escape, Lupine III from far away shouted in this direction.
"Hello!"
"then!"
Lupine III had already escaped into the cave entrance, and he threw a plastic explosion shield over with all his strength.
The explosion-proof shield rotated several times in the air and landed just in front of the stone arch.
Qin Zhibo bent down and got the explosion-proof shield.
With this artifact, Qin Zhibo held Conan in his arms, held the explosion-proof shield above his head with his other hand, and ran towards the entrance of the cave.
The blue electro-optical balls came down like a storm. Qin Zhibo was carrying an explosion-proof shield in his hand and was hit several times in succession.
But he rushed to the cave entrance desperately, and finally ran into the temporarily safe cave entrance before the explosion shield was melted.
Throwing the explosion-proof shield to the ground, the plastic on it had begun to melt and deform.
"Thanks."
Qin Zhibo simply thanked Lu Bang III and then checked the number of people who had successfully escaped into the cave. There were only less than twenty people.
The remaining soldiers fell inside the cave, most of them dead.
Although he was still alive, his body convulsed violently and fell into coma. It was only a matter of time before he was hit again.
Inside the cave, Ishikawa Goemon relied on his super high dynamic ability and agility to keep moving to avoid the "lightning rain" above his head, and forcefully carried two injured people back.
"I just observed that there are more than 50 caves above. If there is a Mi-Go hidden in each one, then there are 50..."
Qin Zhibo discovered that the location of the stone arch was actually very safe. For some reason, Mi Ge's electric guns avoided the area of the arch, which gave him time to carefully observe the situation above his head.
Qian Xingxing stood up holding the stone wall and said with difficulty: "There are not many of us now, and there are still injured people, so we can only retreat to the ground..."
Ishikawa Goemon held the scabbard of his sword tightly, unwilling to do so.
"If I could fly..."
Facing this number of alien creatures, Ishikawa Goemon did not feel the slightest fear in his heart.
It's just that Mi Ge flew too high and his iron sword couldn't hit him.
Qin Zhibo nodded. He also knew that his combat effectiveness was insufficient at this time, and retreating to the ground was the wisest choice.
But if they go back, more than half of the death squads will be killed this time, and it will be very difficult to gather people's hearts and launch a second charge towards the mine.
Because there is a more cost-effective solution that is always in front of everyone.
That is to bomb the entire area and completely collapse the mine.
By then, your idea of returning to the original world may be in vain.
Moreover, Qin Zhibo always felt that the stone arch door in the cave should have some great significance, otherwise there would be no investigation point above it.
what to do?
Qin Zhibo couldn't decide for a while.
But at this moment, a lot of buzzing sounds came from the cave, and it seemed that Mi Go flew down from the sky.
When Ishikawa Goemon heard this, he immediately went out to fight with him with his sword, but was stopped by Daisuke Jigen.
"You are looking for death!"
Although Ishikawa Goemon's taijutsu is powerful, it is impossible to face the attacks of 50 Mi Go at the same time.
Mi Ge wanted to pursue the remnants of humanity. Upon seeing this, Qin Zhibo understood that retreat was the only way at the moment.
