Chapter 961 Earth Crack
The nuclear explosion in the distance, the meteors nearby, the strong wind above the head, the cracks under the feet, and the continuous gunfire in the middle. ◢Щщш.suimeng.lā
In fact, the veteran did not go far, and has been monitoring the survivors of the Cangshi Fleet and Phantom Fleet not far from the tiankeng, in order to confirm their movements and prevent possible surprise attacks in advance.
The flames rising and falling in the sky illuminate Ma Runjia's golden mask, and there are projections of explosions jumping on it, very cheerful, like the dance of war monsters.
The exhaust hole on the back of Ma Runjia ejected a stream of white air. The veteran stepped on the scorched rubble on the ground, turned back to the vulture chariot, and started the engine.
He sighed, his voice drowned out by the roar of the two engines behind him.
Ever since Planet 5 met Tang Fang, along the way, he has never sighed, never been moved, never softened when he shouldn't be soft, and never complained when he shouldn't. But today he sighed and finally felt emotional.
The flames sprayed from the rear of the vulture chariot were like arrows and spears, and one person and one car rode away in the wind, and dense fragments fell from the sky, causing sandstorms on the plain to the left of the locomotive.
The survivors of the Phantom Fleet and the Cangshi Fleet did not see the vulture chariot riding away in the wind, nor did they pay attention to the sandstorm on the misty horizon, because the crashing sound and earthquake from the sinkhole suddenly disrupted everyone's thoughts and actions.
The school officers with miserable hearts walked out of the command vehicle, and the young soldiers who kept shooting at the core of the mothership also slowed down their attack rhythm, trying to stay away from the ridge as much as possible, so as not to be affected by the secondary disaster caused by the impact of the meteorite on the wall of the crater. It's not a pretty way to die when a collapse happens and you're buried by rocks falling from the top of the mountain.
Fortunately, no collapse occurred. In fact, even if a collapse occurs, as long as it is not a super large area of collapse, they don't need to care.
When the young soldiers recovered from the shock, they looked up and scanned the sky, only to find that the large crystal and the black aircraft had disappeared. So some reckless guys yelled at Tang Fang for being mean and shameless and a coward. If he is really a brave man like Marion said, get off that damn thing and compare with them whose shooting speed is faster Come on, who is more agile, instead of running for your life with your tail between your legs.
The scolding came and went quickly, because the people in the reconnaissance car discovered a new situation. In the sky, there is an object passing through the gravitational chaos quickly, ignoring the meteorite storm and the shock wave created by the nuclear bomb, trying to enter the atmosphere of the wandering planet.
After a few breaths, the man's voice sounded again, telling them that it should be the Angel that tried to enter the atmosphere of the wandering planet, presumably to help Tang Fang and the Star Alliance navy soldiers leave here.
The school officials still did not speak,
The expression on his face became more bitter. And some soldiers are still cautiously persuading them to contact the Magic Wolf or the Star Ring, tell the Lieutenant General the difficulties they are facing, and ask for some help, it is better than sitting here and waiting to die.
The time it took for the Angelus to break through the gravitational disorder zone was shorter than the first time it entered the interior of the wandering planet. This may be because the orbital strikes launched by Belek and Rockefeller diluted the concentration of warship wreckage and asteroid debris in the gravitational disorder zone. As a result, this kind of behavior has brought a lot of damage to the three races, but it also reduces the difficulty of entering the atmosphere of the wandering planet.
Kudelia has returned to her post, but her face is still a little pale, and her voice is much weaker than usual. Only the determination in her eyes has not weakened, as sharp as a dagger.
Tang Lin also returned to the bridge, and changed into a set of sky blue sportswear, which made him look less dull and more lively.
"Alena, mark the assembly point on the topographic map."
"Yes." Aliena agreed, and uploaded the coordinates of the Covenant Navy soldiers assembly point to the sand table system according to her instructions.
The holographic projector above the combat command platform projected a cyan light screen, and the projected image of the wandering planet appeared above the virtual sand table, and the location of the Angelus and the assembly point of the Covenant Navy soldiers were marked with bright red spots.
Kudelia frowned looking at the scene in front of her, a look of uneasiness appeared on her pale face.
Tang Lin noticed the change in her face and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"
She shook her head, pointed at the holographic projection of the wandering planet and said, "Don't you think the speed of this planet is accelerating?"
The first time the Angelus entered the inland of the wandering planet, it dropped the Nightmare not far from the tiankeng. It has only been a long time now, and it has almost turned around, and it took longer than before the war started. The estimated value is even less.
"The speed of the wandering planet is accelerating?" Tang Lin muttered in a low voice. If Kudelia hadn't told him, he wouldn't have paid attention to it. The gravitational disordered area and the huge crater of the wandering planet have already made people feel weird, but now there is an abnormal speed, which is really incomprehensible. What is the origin of the black planet devoured by the fleet, and why are there so many unusual things.
The image on the large screen of the bridge No. 3 was replaced with a photo of the tiankeng taken from a high altitude. Many crew members stared at it for a while, and felt chills all over their bodies, giving birth to an inexplicable sense of fear. Some people attribute this feeling to human beings' instinctive rejection of unknown things, while others think that Tiankeng is very similar to the passage connecting the world and hell in the scriptures.
At this moment, a rapid siren sounded across the bridge, and the intelligence officer looked back at the combat command platform, "Captain, a large number of heat sources have been detected and are rapidly approaching our ship's location."
Needless to say, Kudelia also saw the situation on the virtual sand table. A jet stream composed of a large number of asteroid fragments and a small number of nuclear warheads fell obliquely from above, and hit the slowly sinking Archangel straight.
If it is a single, or a small amount of asteroid fragments, it can be resisted with the strong defense of the starlight shield, but a meteor shower of this level will have a considerable negative impact on the battleship, interfere with the mission process, and slow down Rescue the Covenant Navy surviving soldiers from the speed of wandering planets.
In the current environment, time is not money, time is life.
"Damn it, at this time..." Kudelia complained in a low voice, and ordered to the driver in front: "Descent at full speed, try to avoid the range of the meteor shower."
"Yes." The person in front agreed, gave up the plan to go straight to the assembly place of the Monya naval soldiers, reduced the power of the anti-gravity engine, activated the reverse injection of the auxiliary thrusters, and helped the Angel to sink quickly to enter the low-to-medium airspace. Ways to avoid the meteorite rain falling from the sky.
Tang Lin looked at the asteroid fragments and nuclear warheads passing by the Angel on the big screen, and complained in a low voice: "Damn gravitational turbulence, it will explode sooner or later, but it just broke out at this time. I can stand it, Hank King and those people can stand it..."
Kudelia pursed her lips tightly, her eyes fixed on the rapidly descending flight altitude, and the distance between the flight path of the large meteorite and the battleship mapped out by the computer.
Aliena suddenly interrupted the depressing atmosphere in the combat command area, and turned a monitor in front of her to face Tang Lin and Kudelia, "Look, the situation of this meteor shower is a bit unusual."
Claire and Nehemiah in the rest area at the back heard Aliena's words and looked up at the monitor.
The information processing system of the Angelus surveyed and mapped the flight paths of the asteroid fragments and nuclear warheads from outside the sky based on their volume, speed, direction and other parameters. Kudelia and Tang Lin focused on the safety and mission progress of the Angel, ignoring the flight path and landing point of the meteorite.
Only Aliena discovered this seemingly unimportant but surprising problem --- Judging from the demonstration images on the monitor, the asteroid fragments and a small number of nuclear warheads that passed by the Angelus will be All fell into the sinkhole.
Tang Lin said in an uncertain tone: "This is probably an accident. After all, the crater is really vast. A meteorite storm of this magnitude will inevitably affect it. Didn't many meteorites fall into it before that? If it wasn't for the big brother's helping hand just now, the Mengya navy soldiers below would have suffered heavy casualties."
Aliena said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but... there are too many meteorites that fell into the sinkhole this time."
In fact, she didn't know what was going on, but she felt a little strange, so she reported it to everyone and wanted to hear their views on this scene.
Nehemiah and Claire looked at each other from behind, with a worried look on their faces, but they didn't say much.
Kudelia thought for a while, and said: "From the first time I saw this wandering planet, it gave me a very weird feeling, but no matter whether there is any special inside story about this meteor shower, the current priority of the Angel It is to accommodate Hank Jin and others to board the ship, as for other things, it will not be too late to worry about after this goal is achieved."
The Angel continued to sink. What Kudelia and others didn't know was that the Monya navy soldiers in the edge area of the tiankeng were being swallowed by the terrifying breath coming from the ground.
The core of the Mothership and the Raven left this airspace, and many self-righteous young soldiers turned their hatred to the Angel. Just as they were about to vent their anger, a colorful meteor shower fell from the sky, countless meteorites covered with flames Fall into the sinkhole.
Some of them have never seen the real ocean, but they have only heard of the term, knowing that it is synonymous with vastness and beauty. There is no doubt that the scene where the waves gently kiss the soles of the feet will be very comfortable and happy.
Some soldiers who have seen the sea told them that the tiankeng ahead is vaster and wider than the beautiful ocean, but it is not blue, nor green, nor golden...it is black. There is no salty salt water in its arms, nor happy fish and shrimps, let alone Lone Sail Cruise, only the deep and suffocating fear.
If you ignore the differences above, it is an ocean of fear at the end of this black wasteland.
Of course, no one would think it was beautiful, that it was glamorous...except madmen. However, the scene of the meteor shower falling on the "sea horizon" and setting off a flame storm in the black ocean shocked many people, and it can be regarded as an exotic scene.
It's just that this kind of visual enjoyment didn't last long, and was broken by the vibration from the ground.
At the moment when the wandering planet is facing the baptism of meteorites and nuclear bombs, earthquakes are a very frequent secondary disaster, so frequent that people feel numb and think it is normal. But for the Monya naval soldiers on the edge of the tiankeng, the current earthquake is very different from the previous ones. Those previous earthquakes were caused by nuclear explosions or meteorite impacts, and the epicenters were located on the surface, but the current earthquakes that continue to ferment have their epicenters from the depths of the tiankeng.
Because the meteor shower fell in the tiankeng before, it is reasonable and reasonable to cause earthquake disasters. However, what is puzzling and even panic is that according to the measurement results of geological instruments, the seismic waves spreading from the core area are geometrically number growing rapidly.
Such reports frightened many people, and those who were about to attack the Zodiac Angel had to withdraw their hatred eyes and turned their attention to the huge sinkhole behind them.
When the first crack appeared on the edge of the tiankeng, when the first rock mass slid into the bottomless black abyss with a bang, the soldiers of the Mengya navy not far away were afraid, and quickly started the car in the car. The engine, the soles of the feet slammed on the accelerator, different types of saber-toothed tiger series chariots, as well as the one-horned rhinoceros heavy tank, the Chimera double-headed tank...all at the maximum speed away from the tiankeng, heading towards the plain where the Mengya naval warship forced to land in front .
As for the mechanized infantry in power armor, those who had the conditions climbed onto various vehicles around them to escape for their lives, while those who had no conditions could only throw off their legs and run forward with all their strength.
Rumbling... The violent geological movement centered on the tiankeng and spread to the surrounding area. The fissures turned into rift valleys, rapidly radiating to the surroundings, and large chunks of rock mass, like walls peeled off by moisture, fell off the edge of the tiankeng and fell into the bottomless abyss.
This is not only the case in the area where the survivors of the Cangshi Fleet and the Phantom Fleet are located, but also the entire edge of the tiankeng and the "coastline" of tens of thousands of kilometers. Against the backdrop of the meteorite falling from the sky, the flames blooming in the distance added a little more turmoil to the catastrophe.
Originally, the soldiers of the Mengya Navy withdrew from the plain area where a large number of Mengya Navy warships were distributed in response to the counterattack of the Covenant Marine Corps and Tang Fang, hoping to use the mountainous terrain on the edge of the tiankeng to snipe the incoming enemy, dignified and vigorous died in battle.
But at this moment, their self-esteem, pride, glory, and fighting spirit all dissipated in the face of this disaster, and they were defeated like a group of rabble.
Facing the core of the mothership, facing the Angel, they can show the heroic spirit and unyielding fighting spirit that no one has died in life since ancient times, and keep their loyalty to reflect the history, but when the geological disaster comes, all the blood and perseverance are fled , Survival such practical actions instead.
