Chapter 74 Journey

"Buzz", amid the roar of the engine, the metal tracks rolled over the cracked ground, and the long gun barrels turned left and right from time to time, adjusting the direction of shooting. Heavy armored tanks rushed out of the omnipresent darkness, crushing the hazy morning mist. Six tanks formed a diamond array and guarded two heavy trucks in the center. On the hatch of each tank, a high-level mercenary stood guard against all the suspicious things around them.

In the heavy truck in the center, thirteen ordinary passengers stared at the open space behind the carriage. Although they can only see the front and tanks behind them now, for these nervous, pale and short-breathing ordinary people, staring at the places where danger may appear is already an instinct.

The other thirteen ordinary mercenaries were much more relaxed. In fact, they were uneasy. After all, they had fought with insects and knew how terrible the tide-like insect swarm was. But the first thing to learn to become a mercenary is to adjust the mentality. If you are nervous, you will make mistakes. If you make mistakes, you will die. You will learn how to control and regulate your tension, or you will die.

They all survived successfully, so there was no tension in them. These people sat near the back door of the car. Some squinted their eyes and half asleep, some were eating constantly, and some simply played cards together. However, no matter what they were doing, as soon as the vehicle slowed down or bumped, these people would secretly hold weapons in their hands and be ready to enter the battle at any time.

The roofs of the two heavy trucks, Shuer and Mia, occupied a much better balance than ordinary people, respectively. In addition, the roof space is so large that no matter how bumpy the vehicle is, it is difficult to have too much impact on the two.

The two were not as prepared as the other six companions. The mountain elves sat on the front of the car with their legs sideways, leaning against their staff, and their right palm spread out toward them. A female humanoid made of flame twisted her waist on her palm and danced gracefully. The humanoid's movements were smooth and in place, which was very ornamental.

But Shuer on the roof of another car did not watch it. He kept lowering his head, his lips opened and he kept talking in a low voice with the bracelet on his wrist, controlling the direction of all vehicles. The prompt lights on the bracelet kept flashing, and he occasionally made mechanized female responses.

"Woo~~~", in the sky, two ghost fighters passed by low, tearing the air and making a deafening noise. The ghost fighters have not entered stealth now, and are constantly hovering above everyone's heads. The streamlined fuselage, especially the two long missiles hanging below the fuselage, flashing with a metallic luster under the starlight.

The mechanized troops were moving forward at high speed in the bumps, leaving the human fortress far behind. Looking back, the former shelter had become hazy under the dim starlight, and only a vague shadow could be seen. Leaving this world where the only safe area belongs to the insects, people's psychology rose for no reason. Although only a few days have passed, most people can be sure that the experiences of these days, fear, expectation, worry, and various emotions can never be forgotten.

"Boom", in the vague fortress, a pillar of smoke suddenly soared into the sky, and the long tail flame flew upwards, and finally exploded in the air, bursting into a splendid flame, as if to express my farewell blessing to the Pavatiga people.

The wheels rolled and the tracks turned. The convoy went further and further, gradually entering the barren plain. The plain was deserted and there was no grass growing. Only the stone pillars that occasionally encountered pointed straight to the sky.

"This is the outside world, desolate, dangerous, and difficult, but you can enjoy freedom that people in the city will never enjoy. For this freedom, we mercenaries would rather face death." Shur said slowly with his chin, "It should be the first time you have come to the outside world since you were created. Are you not going to come out and see it yourself?"

"Commander, I am observing the outside world every moment, including the images I see for you, are the results of my observations. I can understand what you mean by yourself, but I must remind you that reconnaissance aircraft, war equipment, radar scanning, and the simple image acquisition device I use now are all the results of my observations."

"Uh, it seems that this is true." Shuer scratched his head and found that he could not refute it. He could only say embarrassedly, "Okay, can you tell me based on the results of your personal observations, whether the route I planned just now is feasible?"

"Discovering is under investigation, 13% have been confirmed. Combined with the route of the insect swarm, the feasibility has reached 72%.

"Very good, what's going on nearby? How far is the bug nearest to us?"

"Four kilometers, Commander, that is a transit blot, with about two hundred insect swarms garrisoned."

"So few?" Shuer was a little surprised. In his consciousness, the number of insect swarms was basically in units of tens of thousands, hundreds? What order of magnitude is that?

"There are not many. Commander, two hundred worms in the ground, and their combat power exceeds one standard fire infantry squad. Our base design is only two standardized infantry squads. Two infantry squads attack the bacterial blanket. If there is no tank support, at least one-third of the troops will be lost, and even the combat losses may reach 50%. Only your team, which has been specially trained, can support the insect tide for so long."

"Ha, after all, we are aliens." Shuer laughed and shook his head, "Actually you should be able to tell that we are not soldiers of your army, or even creatures of this world."

"Yes, you, when you first accepted your team, you have already scanned it. You are not pure humans, especially in terms of energy structure, and there is a huge gap between you and humans."

"Then why do you accept us?" Shuer asked in confusion, "Aren't you worried that we are enemies?"

"The gene similarity is more than 98%, the appearance similarity is 99%, which is close to alienated humans. I don't understand what you mean by the world. There are no relevant records in the data, but through vague judgments, humanoid creatures similar to different planets can be classified as humans. In my system settings, if there is no highest authority in the base, humans who fight against Zerg and are close to the base can be regarded as commanders."

"As it turns out, I guessed right, haha, but we are not as simple as creatures from other planets. We do not exist in any corner of your void, but enter your world from another void."

"Parallel space? Multiverse? Similar situations are not within the system's statistics, so they do not affect the judgment results."

"Uh, I don't understand." Shure sighed and said with a wry smile, "But it doesn't matter. You have to go home with us anyway. Although you probably will never have a chance to start again after you go there, at least you still have a glimmer of hope, and hope is the most valuable thing."

"Empressor, although I must obey your orders and go with you to the other world you call me, I must again emphasize that it is not the right thing to dismantle me and take away from the base, not only violate the operating procedures, but also affect my control over the base."

"Is there any difference?" Shuer said without caring at all. "Anyway, the base will be demolished by the insect swarm, and the world will be destroyed in a short time. Whether you are in the base will have no effect on the result."

"Control the base, fight against the Zerg, protect humans and allies, is the responsibility of the central control system, and even if the base is destroyed, I should drive the duty until the last moment."

"But your highest order is to obey the commander's orders and cooperate with the commander to carry out missions, which is what you said." Shur smiled, like a rogue, "Now my order is to follow me. Even if you violate your duties, you must obey, haha, right?"

"Yes." Fortunately, Wei was just a program, without real consciousness or emotion. Otherwise, the missiles on the fighter plane would have been bombed down.

"So, hehe, just accept your fate. There is no point in resisting, hahahaha."

"Yoyou, the guy over there who was laughing like an idiot was going crazy when he heard it." Although Moria couldn't hear what Sul was saying, and she didn't understand it clearly, she knew that he must have said nothing good. "If you have time to make such a dirty laugh, why not help us detect the situation."

"The itinerary has been eleven percent, and the reconnaissance results are normal. The main Zerg unit nearest us is 123 kilometers away, with a speed of 14. The nearest Zerg patrol unit is composed of low Zergs called Earth-Swinging insects, with a speed of 38 kilometers away from us." Xiuer translated Wei's answer loudly, and was suddenly stunned as he spoke, interrupting Wei's report, "Wait, what did you say just now? The patrol unit is only half an hour away from us?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, the patrol troops are fifteen four kilometers away from us and have not entered a dangerous distance."

"Well, it's not dangerous now, but I have to prepare early. It's not good for me. I didn't tell you in advance to remind me of the patrol problem." Shuer frowned and thought for a while, and shouted loudly, "All high-level mercenaries, focus on me as the goal, prepare to formulate a penetration plan. Wei, reduce the speed of the team's marching by half, and strengthen the density of the exploration aircraft reconnaissance."

"Yes, Your Excellency."
