2643. The rise of Dark Nest (Part 2)
However, the battle on Ye Chuan's side seemed to awaken those sleeping monsters. A large number of ferocious monsters emerged from the darkness, and they rushed towards Ye Chuan's team crazily.
There are countless monsters hidden among the wreckage of the Victory-class Star Destroyer.
"They are hiding in the reactor!" a soldier exclaimed.
As expected, those monsters actually emerged from the Hypermatter reaction pile that had a big hole blown out. However, there is still an ultra-high temperature inside the destroyed reactor. According to instrument detection, it is at least tens of thousands of degrees! Coupled with the terrifying radiation, even if they were wearing CMC-300 powered armor, they would not dare to get close, but those Kilik Creatures were actually hidden inside.
"These monsters... they may even be absorbing the energy of the reactor..." the engineer on the side said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry about this! Kill all these monsters! Fire!" Ye Chuan shouted angrily.
He has received a reply from General Tann. The reinforcements are on the way. They need to find a suitable position to hold on and then kill all these monsters.
Ye Chuan immediately commanded the team to retreat slowly. He remembered that when they arrived at the reactor location, there was a narrow passage in one place and they could rely on that direction for defense.
[Captain Ye! We are under attack! There are monsters here! ] The exclamations of the third team came from the communication. They were responsible for exploring another section of the wreckage.
"Get out of the wreckage as soon as possible! Rely on air fire support to destroy them!" Ye Chuan gave the order immediately.
The situation of the other two teams is much better. After all, they walked directly through the gap in the wreckage. There should be no obstacles to entry and exit. As long as they can exit, with the fire support of their own air force and warships, they should be able to easily eliminate those monsters.
But it's much more complicated here. Because they used ropes to descend from the breach in the reactor, it was completely impossible to climb out again despite the attacks of Kilik Swarm.
"Second Squad! Report your location!" Ye Chuan began to call another team that was in the back half of the wreckage with his team. He hoped that Second Squad could pass through the wreckage and come over to join them.
[Captain Ye, we are lost! Many of the passages here were blown up to the point of being distorted, and the passages have all changed! We're cutting a path with a laser cutter!]Second Squad replied over there.
"Then be careful! There are Kilik Swarm monsters here!" Ye Chuan frowned.
At this time, there were more and more monsters in the darkness, and some even began to fire high-concentration plasma balls at them!
boom! boom! Explosions exploded around them, with astonishing power!
"They absorbed the reactor energy and used it to spray us!" a soldier exclaimed.
"Stand still! Don't panic!" Ye Chuan As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of plasma directly hit a soldier next to him. A big hole was immediately blasted out of the chest of the CMC-300 powered armor, and the molten metal burned the soldier until he screamed.
"Wow! Help! Help!" The soldier screamed loudly, and the automatic fire extinguishing device of the power armor was activated, and the cooling spray sprayed out, extinguishing the flames and cooling down the melted outer armor. He quickly activated the emergency escape device and escaped from the power armor.
Looking around, there seemed to be countless pairs of scarlet eyes staring at them in the darkness. Among the invisible wreckage, it seems that countless things can be heard crawling.
In the passage, the corpses of Kilik Swarm bugs piled up in mountains. Those bugs were very intelligent, and they even began to push the pile of corpses towards Ye Chuan and the others.
There were even some small and flexible bugs crawling quickly along the ceiling from other directions!
Moreover, these bugs also have long-range attack methods, and some spray bone spurs and acid. Although the threat to the CMC-300 powered armor is not high, the continuous attacks also make their armor pitted.
A soldier's mask was hit by a ball of acid. The green viscous acid blocked his sight. He quickly turned on the cleaning device. However, at this moment, he did not notice that a tentacle covered with barbs and carapace suddenly stretched out in the darkness, directly piercing the armor joint of his knee!
"Ah!!!" The soldier screamed, and was immediately entangled by the tentacle and dragged into the darkness.
Ye Chuan They were not in a hurry to rescue, they could only hear the screams coming from the darkness!
Finally at this time, their reinforcements arrived. The 200 soldiers stationed outside were divided into two groups. One group brought engineering equipment to help Second Squad beat the road. The other group also jumped down from the big hole in the engine and joined the battlefield.
Not only that, the sound of engines came from the sky. Two APOD-33 transport ships lowered their altitude and airdropped more than 100 B-1 combat robots, as well as 10 Destroyer battle droid!
"Clean up the wreckage! Push the front forward!" Ye Chuan said to a yellow-painted B-1 combat robot Commander.
"Roger Roger!"
Several combat robots immediately moved forward, turning on their plasma flamethrowers and spraying the corpses of the bugs violently. Although the shells of those bugs could resist high temperatures, after being torn apart, their interiors were quickly ignited, forming a wall of fire in front.
However, those monsters ignored the wall of fire and continued to rush forward. The B-1 combat robots using flamethrowers were instantly smashed into pieces.
But having cannon fodder is always better, Ye Chuan and their pressure were immediately reduced a lot. And the addition of the 10 Destroyer droid had a huge effect. They rolled to the front of the formation, deployed their shields, and then the two twin blaster cannons output a burst of crazy firepower. All bugs that dared to get close were torn to pieces by this extremely powerful firepower!
It seems that the situation has been stabilized.
Ye Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The communication suddenly became chaotic!
[There is something underground! The biological response is huge!]
[Butterfly! Immediately lower the altitude and enter the satellite's atmosphere! ] The angry voices of Sefrans-General Tann even came from the communication.
[earthquake! There was an earthquake!]
[Are you eating shit in the sensing department?! Why haven't we found such a big thing??]
[No! It's sinking here! quick! Get out of here!]
[Fire at this thing! Now!!]
[General Tann! There are friendly forces over there...]
[If we don't open fire, none of them will be left! Fire!]
[Second Squad is requesting reinforcements! There's quicksand everywhere and monsters everywhere!]
Boom~~~!!! Violent explosions, accompanied by violent ground vibrations... There is no doubt that this is a battleship in the universe firing and bombing!
"What happened! Answer quickly!" Ye Chuan roared loudly into the communicator.
[There is something under the wreckage of another section! Now that section of wreckage is sinking into the ground! You also retreat as soon as possible, we will send more battle robots to break up the rear!] The voice of the correspondent from the command center came through the communication. They didn't know what they saw there, and the correspondent's tone was also trembling.
"Retreat! Send the wounded up first!" Ye Chuan made a prompt decision and issued the order.
The transport ship that had just transported the combat robots hovered over the large hole, lowered the lifting rope, and hoisted Fourth Civilization Marines up one by one.
In order to save time, the transport ship did not return directly to the spacecraft, but just hoisted these soldiers out and put them outside.
Inside, Ye Chuan and the others, under the cover of Destroyer droid, are resisting the attack of those Kilik Creatures.
However, at this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently! Then there was a sudden spin, and the wreckage of the warship they were on began to capsize to one side!
Those Destroyer droid suddenly became unstable and fell into a ball with a clang. But the Kilik Swarm were not affected at all. Their sharp claws flew over the walls and walked on the ground. They rushed over quickly and tore all those Destroyer droid into pieces!
An exclamation came from the communication: [There are monsters here too! This is a trap! We've fallen into a trap!]
"Oh my God! What is this!!" The pilot controlling the transport ship looked down and saw that the ground around the wreckage of the battleship suddenly became extremely soft, and the fine gray sand even formed a vortex that gradually swallowed the battleship.
The wreckage of the battleship is sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and inside the wreckage, there are hundreds of Marines!
The first team that entered through the gap at the bottom may have all been buried by the sand now! And inside this huge pit, there seems to be a huge monster looming!
On the other side, three-quarters of the wreckage of the bow section of the ship has now sunk into the ground. Several huge tentacles at least hundreds of meters long have entangled the wreckage and kept dragging it underground.
You can also see the flickering fire from time to time inside the wreckage, which is the person from Second Squad who is firing.
In the sky, a Victory II-class Star Destroyer has entered the satellite's atmosphere, and the Turbolaser cannon on the belly of the battleship is firing at the roots of those huge tentacles. However, for fear of harming friendly forces, the power of the Turbolaser gun was reduced.
boom! boom! boom!! The sky was filled with dust, and it was impossible to tell whether the attack was effective. But in the communication, the screams from the soldiers of Second Squad were endless!
"Evacuate quickly! Evacuate quickly!" Ye Chuan shouted loudly.
Several more transport ships descended from the sky, and they airdropped more combat robots. There was even a transport ship that dropped the most advanced Scorpion Annihilator Droids!
Obviously, the command headquarters wasted no expense to rescue Fourth Civilization Marines like them.
boom! boom! boom!! As soon as Scorpion Annihilator fell down, it immediately raised its shield. The two twin-mounted Turbolaser cannons were bombarded by a burst of crazy artillery fire. All Kilik Swarm that were approaching were immediately blown to pieces.
But the situation still hasn't gotten any better!
Ye Chuan A large amount of quicksand has begun to appear under their feet, even reaching the top of their feet. It was only a matter of time before they were completely dragged underground along with the wreckage!
And what appeared in front of them now was no longer deep passages and countless monsters, but the spreading quicksand!
Several soldiers fired wildly at the quicksand, causing clouds of dust to rise. There was a roaring sound from under the dust, and green liquid seeped out from under the dust, but it was unclear how effective it was.
Two terrifying bugs covered in barbs suddenly jumped out of the quicksand, hugged the two soldiers and dragged them directly into the quicksand!
There wasn't even a scream. Liquid mixed with blood and engine oil seeped out of the sand, and then gradually subsided.
Ye Chuan Even though they were in dire straits, they still retreated in an orderly manner, showing their extremely high military quality.
However, the situation on the transport ship was even worse.
Because the wreckage was being swallowed by quicksand, many of the soldiers sent out by the transport ship just now fell back into the quicksand and were swallowed up. The transport ship had to send the soldiers farther away for resettlement, and then return to rescue Ye Chuan, which greatly reduced the efficiency.
At this moment, a tentacle suddenly shot out from the quicksand and directly wrapped around a transport plane! The transport plane shook for a moment, and was immediately strangled into two pieces by the tentacles, and then dragged down!
boom! The transport plane exploded beneath the sand, kicking up countless clouds of dust.
Two more Hell-Angel Class Battlecruisers descended into the satellite's atmosphere and bombarded the giant monsters underground. Dozens of Wraith fighter and Viking fighter also joined the battlefield. They used missiles and Pulse Laser to accurately shoot the huge tentacles entangled in the wreckage.
Finally, the sand on the bow wreckage seemed to be boiling, and something was rolling underneath, raising the sand hundreds of meters high. Then it gradually calmed down and the wreckage stopped sinking.
But at this moment, the wreckage had almost completely sunk into the ground, leaving only a small tip still outside.
On Ye Chuan's side, Scorpion Annihilator Droids's powerful firepower finally came into play. It fired wildly at the quicksand, and its powerful power even melted the quicksand! What the explosion splashed wasn't even sand, but lava!
After a period of crazy attacks, the boiling quicksand finally calmed down. The huge monster clinging to the wreckage at the back of their side seemed to dare not move anymore and no longer dragged the wreckage down.
But Ye Chuan they still didn't dare to neglect anything. They were always on guard, fearing that a monster would suddenly appear under their feet.
However, this situation did not occur. The transport ship arrived again and rescued them all.
Bang!! A monster was thrown onto the dissecting table. The monster was about 2.5 meters long and covered with hard carapace. It has a pair of fly-like compound eyes, a pair of tentacles on the top of its head, very sharp mouthparts, four lower limbs and four hands.
But what is unexpected is that although the four hands of this monster have sharp claws, their hands seem to be more suitable for using tools than using claws as weapons, but they have no weapons to take advantage of, so they use claws to attack!
"You mean, these bugs evolved like this to use tools? Just like humans?" Sefrans-Tann stood aside wearing full protective clothing.
The image of Abathur was projected in the holographic projection, and he said slowly: [Using tools reduces efficiency, improves versatility, and reduces gene types. Destroy human civilization, use their tools, and evolve in a targeted manner. The goal is clear.]
