Huh... Huh...

The rescued Lieyang City team members broke free from the somewhat deformed power armor, and more than a dozen people lay on the ground with their backs on their backs, gasping violently.

The soldiers of the imperial army surrounding him could clearly see the sweat flowing on the ground, and they knew that most of the soldiers in front of him had experienced a great war.

Advanced power armor has an internal adjustment system that can dynamically maintain the driver's living environment to achieve the purpose of comfortable driving.

However, this function may be damaged during combat or manually turned off by the driver to save energy and deal with the enemy.

This is the case with the people in front of them. Their muscles have not yet relaxed yet. Coupled with the sequelae of injecting stimulants, they are tossing on the ground like swimming fish on the shore.

"Let them calm down...who is the biggest official now?"

The commander impatiently ordered the military doctor beside him. The military doctor immediately gave the other party an injection and finally relaxed.

"Huh...I am the deputy captain, and now the expedition team is commanded by me..."

A soldier in Lieyang City breathed a sigh of relief, laying on the ground with a dull look on his face, murmured:

"That was a group of invisible devils. They suddenly attacked us. Although we were prepared, we still had no choice but to use the opponent's speed. It was an enemy born for assassination!"

"Yeah, keep talking."

The outpost commander turned his head and signaled his subordinates to drag back the bodies killed in the tunnel, preparing to study them.

"Huh... we joined forces with the three teams of the city. Today we are still going to Dungeon No. 7. It has been safe after entering the city, so we decided to explore separately and look for gains.

Ten minutes ago, we were exploring an office building, hoping to find some documents that restore history, but we were suddenly ambushed by an invisible enemy.

After a fierce battle, we were no match, so we could only fight and retreat, and you also saw it..."

"That's it?"

After hearing this, the Imperial Commander raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously:

"Is your Lieyang City's detection technology so poor? You can't even detect an optical invisible and you will be chased and killed?"

"Oh, among our power armor, only the reconnaissance type can detect stealth units, and the remaining firepower type and support type can do nothing.

The other party calculated this correctly, so during the first raid, we deliberately replaced all our scouts at the expense of some units. This is why we are so passive next."

The surviving team member said, and couldn't help but show his fear, "The other party has extremely high intelligence and knows how to use tactics, which is obvious!"

The commander's face finally became serious. The information confirmed by the other party was very useful, so that ordinary beasts could not be used to treat these sudden bugs.

"By the way, I remember when you came back on the first day, you drove back 12 defender mechas. Where is the mechas?"

As soon as he heard the mecha, the deputy captain showed a painful expression:

“We made a deal with the other two companies, and they each bought 4 units.

The remaining 4 of us were too big, so we stayed outside the building to guard our guard. When we were attacked by invisible enemies, they were also sniped from afar!

More than a dozen dark red beams killed the driver in one go!”

"So awesome!"

The Imperial Commander recalled the data of the Defender Mecha. Although it was a model a hundred years ago, it was very classic and durable, so it was not so fragile...

"Was the driver sniped while he was on the shield?"

"Uh... I didn't open the shield. After all, I didn't find any enemies. We don't carry much energy..."

"Tsk, waste!"

The commander was too lazy to say anything, and who told the other party not to bring more energy supplies.

"There is another last question, think about it carefully.

Do bugs appear first, or are electricity recovered first?”

Hearing this question, the vice captain pondered for a moment, and then said with certainty:

"It was the bug that appeared first! The electricity was restored during the war. If the sudden recovery of the electricity at that time made the opponent's invisibility flash, we would not have had the chance to break through and retreat."

"Well, take your team members to repair it, don't do stupid things!"

The Imperial Commander returned to the command room and quickly pondered the current situation:

Except for Your Majesty and the others, I don’t know who can restore the power at the base, so I first assume that it is the power that Your Majesty restarts.

The insect appears first and then recovers, which means that the insect is not awakened by the fluctuations when the power is restarted, but is already preparing to attack.

So the source of the bug is a question, is it hidden in the darkness of the ruins? Or...

"Adminton, let a Royal shuttle take off and follow Tunnel 0 to the control area for reconnaissance.

It is best to determine the location of Your Majesty and the others, but don’t force it. These are our only two spacecraft. We must not be damaged so easily. The stealth system and shield will be turned on throughout the whole process."

"Yes, sir."

During the waiting time, the commander ordered again:

"Air force fields are set up at the entrances of each channel to cut off air circulation and ensure the air safety of the outpost hall.

Strengthen vigilance against all channels and strictly prevent invisible enemies from infiltrating the outpost.

If you encounter other returning expedition teams, first make them harmless and then conduct a physical examination to cut off the risk of being manipulated by the Zerg.

There are also the corpses of insects brought back, sealed and handed over to the temporary laboratory for dissection to see what kind of variety it is!”

...

The middle section of the spiral tower, outside the core equipment cabin.

"Your Majesty, the enemy's offensive has been suspended. It is likely that he is accumulating strength and intends to destroy us in one go."

The captain of the guards reported to the emperor seriously.

"Well, look for a room on this floor that can observe the situation outside the tower and take me over."

"Yes, your Majesty."

While waiting, Wang Fei gave a few serious explanations to the team members, meaning that he should never be too far away from him, and not act alone.

Because the fight begins later, the emperor's guards cannot protect them, at most Wang Fei alone is protected.

"Your Majesty, I found it, here."

Not long after, everyone was taken to a place that should be an employee lounge. There was a complete hologram on the wall, which could display the external scene through the probe hidden by the tower table.

The recovery of base energy has enabled all the equipment to have an energy source, but before the main system restarts, it can only respond passively and cannot take the initiative.

After the holographic screen is activated, the wall immediately becomes transparent, and everything outside is clearly displayed in front of you.

There are four lava lizards swimming on this side of the tower alone, and constantly spraying fireballs outwards with their back bulges.

The fireballs fell on the building without exploding, but were absorbed on them as if they were pulsing. Soon after, a jumping worm with magma patterns flowing from the body crawled out from it and unscrupulously ate the metal around it.

"What kind of damn breed is this..."

The air around the mutant jumping worm was twisting violently, and every step of the limbs took, a clear claw print appeared on the ground.

That is not a manifestation of strength, but a result of high temperature. This hockeye has extremely high body temperature and can radiate outward. It can be imagined that the effect of conventional thermal weapons on it will be greatly weakened.

In addition, the hatched lava variants are far more than one type of worm-hopping. Wang Fei and the others have also seen more mutant Zergs such as lava thorn snakes, lava cockroaches, etc. The black and red patterns make people feel quite dangerous at first glance.

Seeing this, Wang Fei and the others finally had some clues about the source of the insects.

In addition to the portals in the air that were still spitting out flying insects, the Zergs left over a hundred years ago actively adapted and evolved towards the environment in order to survive from the closed underground space, and finally formed a special community with lava lizards as the parent.

It was originally a legacy of the elite Zerg. After cruel adaptation and mutation, the remaining individuals seemed to be reborn. Not only did they have a stronger body, but they also mutated into special abilities that only advanced Zergs had.

For example, control high temperatures and flames.

His eyes turned to the air. At this time, the Void Dragon no longer appeared in the portal. It seemed that the thing was also a rare item on the Zerg side, and the elite flying dragons were now released.

The vast underground space outside the overwhelming flying dragon is raging, pursuing all possible goals.

Suddenly, an explosion and gunfire came from a distance, and then it seemed like a bug nest was blowing up. The flying dragon in the air immediately swooped towards an artificial island.

Everyone who was observing secretly immediately pulled the camera closer. Through the layers of remains, everyone saw the refugee team that was still alive not long ago.

However, the refugee team seemed to be fleeing in panic at this time, and they could be said to be the entrance of each showing their magical powers.

The direction of their development can be seen from the response methods of each team. Among them, the Light of Freedom looks quite generous, and the equipment on its body is constantly flashing. These lights are not for good looking. They are shields intercepting the bone spurs of the stinger, the spout is spraying flames, and the shoulder cannon is firing plasma light balls backwards.

However, these were obviously not sufficient for the newly recovered lava zombies. The lava zombies were dragging flames into the ruins. The twisted high temperature and irradiated heterogeneous radiation caused serious interference to the sensor. The plasma balls fell one after another. The gradually rising plasma flew through the carapace, but it did not slow down the zombies.

I don’t know what their body looks like under the lava carapace, do I even lose my pain?

Soon, the technological team of the Light of Freedom was caught up by the flying dragons that followed. The insect blades fired by these flying dragons were raving violently between the ruins, and then violent explosions occurred, causing the human exploration team to scatter and have to scatter to avoid the explosion.

This gave one of the jumping worms and the thorn snakes the chance to break it. The mutated jumping worms has made significant progress in their mobility, and they are dazzling in the eyes of flying eaves and walls.

The bone spurs fired by the lava sting snake also changed from the original kinetic energy killing to high temperatures and kinetic energy double killing. Ordinary armor will be directly melted by the lava bone spurs, which is one level stronger than human armor-piercing incendiary bombs.

Fortunately, the number of lava Zergs has not yet increased, allowing humans to use complex terrain to deal with each other.

Suddenly, several swift shadows entered the viewer's vision. Their armor looked slender, and they were equipped with flexible hooks. The booster on their backs helped them swing up and down between the ruins. The shocking battle blade in their hands cleanly killed one lava jumper after another.

"It seems to be people from the Brotherhood. I didn't expect that they were really assassins?"

Wang Fei was a little surprised. He didn't expect that at this critical moment, the Brotherhood did not escape by relying on high mobility, but came to support the Light of Freedom.
To be continued...
