Chapter 255 Dangerous task

The muzzle is aimed at the bottom, and there is no need to aim. Just pull the trigger, and the eight tubes rotate quickly. A blue flame is sprayed out from the muzzle, turning into a barrage and sweeping across it. When the insects and beasts are pulled out in the front, they are immediately overturned.

The insects and beasts are too dense, so dense that they can hit the target as long as they are aimed at the right direction and close their eyes. The eight-barrel pulse machine gun has extremely strong firepower. The eight barrels rotate quickly and hundreds of bullets can be sprayed out instantly. Just one can form a barrage to suppress the insects and beasts at a short distance.

But there are too many insects and beasts. The hundreds of meters away from the searchlight lights are densely filled with insects and beasts, one after another, as if there is no end.

This is the case nearby, and there are even more distances and I don't know how many of them are. He suspected that the insect and beast tide could be able to reach one or two kilometers away.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the endless insects and beasts below, it feels like being on an isolated island, and it is like a small boat in the turbulent sea, and there is danger of overturning at any time.

Relying on the super firepower of the Interstellar Age and the artillery fire support in the base, we temporarily withstood the attack.

This base is quite complete, with very complete defense facilities. Not to mention the exterior walls are covered with defensive weapons, there are many ion cannons inside the base, all built on the top of the internal building, condescending to the heights.

In addition, the two main battle tanks were raised with the platform flush with the outer wall, and two medium-sized ion cannons aimed at the outside of the city. One blasted, it would be a big pit, and one blasted, a thorn snake was blown to pieces.

The medium-sized ion cannon is powerful, and of course it is used to deal with thorn snakes that are too far away. It is a waste to bomb insects and beasts.

"No reason!"

Although it seemed easy to block the insect and beast tide outside the base, Ye Qing didn't look too happy.

This army of insects and beasts seems to be a large number, but it does not have decisive power. In other words, no higher Zergs were seen. The highest one was the prickly snake, but this could not break through the base, so the problem came.

If so many insects and beasts attack the base, if they don’t think it’s the purpose of breaking, they will die. This is unreasonable.

If there is a leader behind the insect beast, there will definitely be one. The Zerg tribe itself controls all insect groups with one leader. If there is a leader, after testing so many times, there is no reason to be so stupid to use cannon fodder to kill him.

Cannon fodder is also useful. Even if cannon fodder is not valuable, it is not so wasteful. There must be a strategic purpose to lose cannon fodder.

That is to say, as long as the leader behind the insect swarm has a normal IQ, the deaths of so many insects and beasts in front of you must have a purpose.

This is what Ye Qing was wondering about. He was thinking about the purpose of the leader behind the insects and beasts, or what he wanted to do with cannon fodder.

But after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out what it was for.

The attack of insects and beasts is endless, and it has never stopped since the attack. The cannon fodder that has been continuously flows to the base like a tide, and the base has to fight back, and everyone has stopped for no moment.

Fortunately, it didn't take much effort to control weapons. Most of the weapons in the interstellar era are energy weapons, without any recoil, and the weapons are not heavy. They only need defense and not much power.

However, the mental loss is a bit large, and everyone needs to concentrate all their energy. After a long time, if the mental loss is too large, they will feel a little tired.

At first, he could hold on, especially under the suppression of insects and beasts, everyone had to cheer up and withstand it. But if this kind of battle had to continue, the result would be waiting. Ye Qing suddenly felt that he had caught something, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely and it was too outrageous.

Shaking his head, he threw this idea behind his head and focused on the battle.

The battle has never stopped since night, midnight, midnight, until the early morning, the insect tide has never stopped. It seems that there is no end. The outside of the base is full of insect corpses. I don’t know how many piles of old heights are killed, forcing the base to fire incendiary bombs or burn the insect corpses with flamethrowers, otherwise too many piles up and they will almost pile up to the exterior wall.

By dawn in the early morning, everyone was a little tired, but the attack of the insect beasts had no effect. I don’t know how many insects rushed to the base from all directions, forcing everyone to continue defending.

What made Ye Qing most uneasy was that the base was a bit large and was besieged from all sides, forcing them to put everyone into battle. Except for a small number of necessary logistics personnel, everyone was involved in battle, including Lieutenant Went, the commander.

When it dawns, the scenery in the distance can be seen, and everyone is frightened by the almost endless insects and beasts all over the mountains.

At night, I can only see close distance without feeling anything. I can only see more than ten kilometers away with a telescope during the day, and then I know how many insects and beasts are besieging the base.

Ye Qing was immediately called back to the base command center by Lieutenant Wente, and opened the door. There were only five people. As soon as he came in, Lieutenant Wente said:

"Don't wait, Sergeant Cassie and Sergeant May died in battle. Call you to discuss something with you in addition to reassigning tasks."

He walked to the window and pulled out the curtains and looked outside, then turned around and said:

"Sergeant Casey and Sergeant Mei died in battle. I will lead the second team for the time being, and the third team will be commanded by Corporal Rock."

After saying that, he looked at the other officers.

The other officers did not speak, and Lieutenant Vent's arrangement was completely reasonable and they had nothing to say.

In the human army, if the commander dies in battle, the adjutant will automatically take over the command. If the adjutant dies in battle, the person with the highest rank will automatically gain command, and so on.

Now there are only a few officers in this contingent, and two of them died in an instant. Ye Qing, who had nothing to do, was raised and no one had any objections.

Of course, it is just temporary command, only valid in this copy. Leaving the Fifth Ecological Park, his military power will be taken back. Unless he performs well in this operation or completes the tasks assigned by the military headquarters, then he will go from temporary to formal at that time. If he can really get the so-called Sarnaga relics back, his military rank may be even promoted.

He had no room for rejection, nor did he think of refusing, and immediately stood up and saluted, representing the appointment.

Second Lieutenant Went nodded and turned his head back, and immediately turned to another thing. With a wave of his hand, a virtual light screen appeared on the wall, with a shocking picture on it.

It may have been photographed by satellites. This is a big mountain with a diameter of estimated to be dozens of kilometers. There is no green on the mountain, all of which are bare red and yellow rocks.

The mountain is not the point. The point is that there are many caves of different sizes on this mountain, and countless dense insects and beasts are climbing in and out of the cave. The entire giant peak with a diameter of dozens of kilometers and a kilometers high is like this. From a distance, it looks like a beehive.

Lieutenant Went pointed to this picture and said:

"This is the scene taken by the satellite last night. The satellite was shot down at dawn, with only a few photos."

He flipped through the photos one by one and took them from all angles. One of them Ye Qing saw that on the top of the mountain was a hole like a crater, and a blue beam of light shot out from it. Due to the angle, he did not take the inside. But it is certain that the mountain is definitely the Zerg nest.

Lieutenant Went's answer also confirmed his conjecture:

"It was this beam that destroyed the temporary satellite. Judging from the final parameters, the power of this beam can be shot into space and poses a threat to interstellar warships."

Ye Qing didn't say anything, just listened.

Second Lieutenant Went's face was very serious and said:

"We must send the news here back to the Expeditionary Force Base and let the base send more reinforcements, otherwise we will never be able to last long with our current capabilities!"

“We can’t send the information back now?”

An officer asked, which was what Ye Qing wanted to ask.

Lieutenant Vent shook his head:

"No, I came here and realized that all signals had been blocked by a strange force. We had to go back to the near where we entered the planet to connect to the base."

As soon as he finished speaking, no one spoke.

Obviously this is a mission, and someone needs to leave the base and return from the original path. After seeing the number of insects and beasts, several plot officers probably don’t have the courage to do so.

Of course Ye Qing would not take the initiative. Such tasks are very dangerous to him. If it is not necessary, he will definitely not be willing.

However, I don’t know if it is the arrangement of the reincarnation space. Whenever someone needs to complete a dangerous task at this time, the first thing the plot characters think of is definitely the reincarnation person, not the plot characters.

He doubted whether this is space that gives the reincarnation a chance by default. When making this choice, the characters in the plot will subconsciously tend to the reincarnation alike.

This is certainly a good thing at other times, but it is not a good thing in this situation.

Lieutenant Wente looked at Ye Qing, and he knew that he must have stopped running away. He sighed in his heart and immediately stood up and said loudly:

"Let me go!"

Instead of letting someone mention it, it is better to be decisive and leave a good impression on yourself.

As he guessed, Lieutenant Went saw that he was so sensible, reached out to pat his shoulder and nodded with satisfaction:

"You did not disappoint me. If you can complete the task this time, I will ask for me."

As soon as the voice fell, a reminder of the reincarnation mark sounded. When I opened it, it was a task that was not expected:

"Side Quest: Send Message."

"Task introduction: Return to the teleportation point, tell the expeditionary base of the difficulties faced by the contingent and request support."

"Tip: You must complete the mission before the base is compromised."

"Task Reward: 30 points of reputation, 3 points of merit."

"Punishment of failure: None."

The great blessing in misfortune is that there is no punishment for the failure of the mission. It is estimated that the Reincarnation Space believes that the failure of the mission will definitely be dead and there is no need for punishment.

"You can take an armored chariot with nine soldiers and set off now."

Lieutenant Went patted him on the shoulder and said.
Chapter completed!
