Chapter 342: Nest Encounter

Why is there no such fear and sadness when facing death by oneself?

When Mu Fan was thinking, he stood still suddenly, frowned, pointed to a suddenly shaking grass ear three hundred meters away, and said, "There is a situation over there!"

Several people cast their gazes over, and only one of the outermost teams was very close.

A student of Dingchuan College seemed to have noticed the noise over there, and walked over with a gun in his hand without discussing with his teammates.

Suddenly a line began to be drawn in the distance with the shaking of the ears of grass.

"There is a situation!"

Finally the old wolf spoke with a firm and serious tone.

At the same time, the red grass behind the student fell short, and a black shadow shot out instantly.

puff!

Sharp forelimbs suddenly appeared on the student's chest.

The student stared blankly, looked down at the reddish-brown limbs protruding from his chest, blood was bubbling from the corner of his mouth, he pulled the trigger on the gun in his hand but didn't have time to raise the muzzle, then he lowered his head weakly.

"Bang!" The sound of a bullet hitting the ground attracted everyone's attention.

With a splash, the body fell to the ground, and the black shadow hid in the grass.

"Enemy attack!"

"Tactical formation!"

"Fire coverage!"

Da da da! Da da da!

Compared with the chaotic shooting of the cadets, the shooting of the special forces members almost fanned out and blocked all the escape routes in that area.

Plop flop!

"Squeak!" A sharp cry sounded, and the grass began to shake rapidly.

But the fire coverage is much faster than the movement over there.

In a full minute, the grass was shortened by more than 20 centimeters.

Dark green juice is constantly splashing out.

People stopped one after another until there was no other sound.

Lin Hao said coldly: "Who was attacked just now?"

"Report sir, Team Snow Scorpion, this year's specially recruited student——Jiang Ke."

Hearing this name, the students holding guns stared blankly at the corpse on the ground.

This is their teammate who has been fighting together for half a month. He has already left his life here forever as soon as he set foot on this land.

Many people felt chills in their hearts, because the death came so suddenly, and even now they haven't seen what attacked Jiang Ke.

The captain of the Snow Scorpion team looked at Lin Hao, gritted his teeth, and saluted: "Report to the officer, the Snow Scorpion team didn't take good care of him, please apply for punishment!"

Lin Hao stared at him, and finally let go: "Go and see what is in the grass over there? All firepower is on alert!"

"Yes, sir."

Holding the pulse rifle, the captain slowly pushed the grass away with his feet, and then moved forward step by step.

In just over three minutes, that area was completely exposed to people's sight.

A large piece of limb shell was scattered in it, which had been smashed to pieces, and the thick juice stuck to the bottom of the grass and was still dripping down.

Taking out a biometric sensor and scanning a relatively complete carapace, the captain turned around and said, "Major, it's a Zerg beetle."

Hearing this, Lin Hao was furious, took out the military Skycom, and directly dialed the number of Major Zheng Rui, when the other party connected, Lin Hao went up and cursed: "Didn't you say that 35 square kilometers were cleared! Why is the safe area still under attack?"

"Assault? Where are you?"

"It's 6 kilometers away from Base No. 3."

"We have cleared a safe area of ​​50 square kilometers, but all this is not absolute, because we found that the invasion method of the Zege tribe is very strange, and we cannot guarantee it 100%." ​​Zheng Rui's voice came out quickly, " At the same time, your area is no longer within the safe area."

"My student is dead! Now you tell me there is something wrong with this map."

"I'm sorry. There is no problem with the map. It is the identification map of our expeditionary force. It belongs to the undetermined security area. The color and base are different. And we evacuated the No. 3 base and did not carry out routine inspections on the adjacent areas. Clean up."

"you……"

"Reporting Major, the thickness of the remaining carapace is 9 mm, and it has an excellent filtering effect on radar."

Damn it, Lin Hao looked at the yellow-brown carapace that came up, and shouted to Tianxun again: "Where's your exoskeleton armor? We need twenty! Speed!"

"I'm sorry, Major Lin Hao, but I can't give this to you. They are the second life for my soldiers. The expeditionary force can no longer afford such a rapid reduction in personnel."

Snapped!

Tianxun was slammed to the ground by Lin Hao, and the hot air from his nose was like an angry bull.

"What's the matter, Major Lin?" asked the person next to him.

"It's okay! Everyone is on alert, form a dense formation, and return to the base."

"why?"

"What's the matter, Major!"

...

"Quiet me!" Lin Hao looked at the group of students who raised questions, and said: "Our situation is worse than imagined. The expeditionary force is now refusing to provide corresponding expedition equipment such as exoskeleton armor! And their so-called safe area Marking is not open to us at all, so from now on, we are all on our own!"

Everyone returned according to Lin Hao's arrangement.

People were in low spirits on the way back.

The first time he attacked, he returned halfway, and one of his companions died innocently.

Fortunately, all the way to the base, I didn't encounter any Zergers.

As soon as he entered, all the captains of the special operations team were called away by Lin Hao.

Hei's voice sounded in Mu Fan's ears: "I have seen the synchronous video on your helmets. This is the lowest-level bug of the Zerger clan. It is far from the real fighting Zerg. I guess you will have to start again soon." Allocation of equipment and tactics."

"Mu Fan, I'm going to infiltrate the central system of this base. When you're fighting against the Zergers, smell and hearing are sometimes more useful than sight." Hei said quietly, probably already prepared He has infiltrated into the central control system of the base, but Mu Fan didn't think about why Hei had such an active infiltration.

It should be a spontaneous instinct for Hei to automatically enter the network in his area.

Mu Fan shook his head, and didn't think much more, because he had already seen Luo Jianjin come back, and was waving to himself.

"What's wrong, Captain Luo?"

"Come here, the mission has been rescheduled. There is a batch of supplies on the starship we are on, but it was originally exclusive equipment for the ship, and it was all unloaded by Major Lin just using his authority."

"What's there?" The interested Lao Lu and Yin Shuai asked at the same time.

"20 heavy-duty exoskeletons, 25 individual combat exoskeletons, 60 sets of individual light armor with built-in life support systems, 2 spider chariots, 10 B-level explorer mechs. There is also a small shipboard repair robot production workshop."

Is this evacuating the starship?

Then there is only an empty shell left on this star carrier?

Seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, Luo Jianjin said with a solemn expression: "The student's death was too sudden this time, which put a lot of pressure on Major Lin, and the 131 Planetary Expeditionary Force was very unfriendly to us. It means that in the No. 3 base, a basic wartime device is built in a short period of time."

"Biological restoration cabin, ore smelting device, solar energy collector, fresh water purification collector, small machinery manufacturing workshop..." The two were dazzled by the words.

On the other hand, Mu Fan was drowsy, he really couldn't understand these proper terms.

But the first one who couldn't bear to speak was Tracey with a swollen figure. She yawned, and the thorny rose said lazily, "Orangutan, just say what you need us to do?"

"The major said that our combat scenes will be faithfully recorded through tactical helmets and shipboard detectors. Since we are here, we must do something. The expeditionary force will expand outwards at bases 1 and 2, and we will Expand to the north at Base 3."

"What is the scope and purpose of the development?"

"Conduct topographical surveys, confirm mineral reserves, and then eliminate the Zeg tribe near the crystal mine."

"Understood, what is the order of the team's attack?" Mu Fan asked.

"We are the No. 1 team, so the first round of area detection will be carried out soon. You will drive the old deer later. The spider car is a very good off-road vehicle. We use the vehicle-mounted drone to detect the surrounding environment first. It has the latest SRA radar on it, which can detect by combining electromagnetic waves and heat source induction, which is a high-end gadget on a starborne ship."

Luo Jianjin pointed to an automatic carrier robot slowly coming behind him, "The above is the detection equipment I just mentioned, choose by yourself, the mecha is temporarily not equipped due to energy supply problems, stay at the base for mobile support at any time, and take responsibility The main force in the battle."

Tracy grabbed a set of light gray individual light armor and carried a sniper rifle to the parked spider chariot over there, while Yin Shuai chose a set of individual combat exoskeleton. The momentum was quite astonishing.

The rest of the old wolf, old deer and others only resupplied the ammunition and walked towards the car body.

"Captain, why didn't they choose?"

"Rookie, these equipments all need energy to drive. For me and the old deer, one scout and one drive, what we need is more flexible limbs."

"Don't bother with them, Mu Fan, you choose." Luo Jianjin said.

"I don't need it, thank you Captain Luo." If he could choose, Mu Fan would only choose the mecha.

But for these equipments that would hinder his speed and physical coordination, Mu Fan had no choice but to refuse.

"Okay, then you follow me and choose some weapons, this time you must choose." Luo Jianjin compromised, but made a mandatory request.

Mu Fan looked at the equipment on the giant pallet of the delivery robot, and his eyes lit up when he saw a silver alloy rod more than one meter long.

"I want this."

Luo Jianjin took a look, frowned and said, "You want a laser spear? What about thermal weapons?"

It turned out to be a laser spear, and Mu Fan almost said that I want this stick, but he shook his head when he heard Dui Luo's words, "I'm not good at shooting, so I'm not going to choose a hot weapon."

"This reason is unreasonable. With good physical coordination and your physical fitness, the stability when holding a gun is far superior to other people. Forget it, your melee combat ability is really good, and Captain Ruan You specifically told me to give you more food, and this is considered a special training."

Mu Fan rubbed his nose helplessly, it turned out that he was so easy to talk, and there was a layer of bald Ruan in it. In any case, he really doesn't like firearms now. The first time he knew about firearms, he was almost killed.

From the Luojia star to the Zicui star, I have almost died under the gun in a row, and the disgust that was born in my heart is still difficult to get rid of.

If he had to be forced to use a gun, Mu Fan would definitely remove the Vulcan cannon from the chariot without a second thought.

After Luo Jianjin got on the spider chariot, he connected the tactical map in his hand to everyone's military Skycom.

As the old deer pedaled violently, the four huge wheels of the spider chariot spun rapidly, and the hunting tiger team disappeared from everyone's sight.

"That poor boy is gone, I hope he dies outside." A person beside Zhang Shaotang said flatteringly.

However, Zhang Shaotang's cold snort was what greeted his flattery.

"Shut up, if something happens, none of us can escape."

...

When the overhead drone swept over and the spider chariot crushed all the way, Luo Jianjin had already controlled the Vulcan cannon and wiped out more than a dozen areas where the Zerg beetles were hiding.

The excited old deer shouted: "Hahaha, I'm so cool, the spider car can't be easily driven! Boss, you have a tacit understanding with the drone!"

"Hehe~" Luo Jianjin smiled honestly, but he refused to let go of the Vulcan Cannon in his hand.

Sitting next to Mu Fan was Yin Shuai, who was focusing on wiping a goggle in his hand.

The combat exoskeleton armor is temporarily stacked on the back seat of the vehicle.

Without endurance energy, every ounce of power should be used in combat as much as possible.

"This time it's a real 15-kilometer detection. Hey, I don't know if I will have a chance to shoot and kill the bugs in a while."

"Don't talk nonsense, white-haired boy, remember to install the environmental detector in your hand every 300 meters. Our team's development performance depends entirely on this device."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Yin Shuai waved his hand and pinned a string of metal balls to his waist.

"The area is approaching, and it is difficult for our UAV radar to scan the jungle area in front, so everyone must be careful for a while. After arriving at the destination, we will move in twos, and the old wolf will go to the front to reconnaissance by himself, and the data will be shared in real time."

"Understood." The old wolf pulled down the combat mask, which is a unique equipment for scouts.

"Tracey is looking for a sniper position. Laolu, you set up mines next to the chariot. Mu Fan will follow me. Yin Shuai, you can assist mines or follow us."

"I'm with Mu Fan."

Hearing that he was not in a group with Tracy, Yin Shuai decisively chose to go forward with Mu Fan.

Da da da da da!

boom!

Suddenly there was a burst of intensive gunfire in the distance, and even the explosion of portable rockets was heard.

The people in the car looked at each other.

What's wrong?

At this time, the old wolf who was looking at the electronic map suddenly changed his tone: "There are a lot of... friendly troops ahead? They are members of the expeditionary army! They seem to be retreating."

A dozen green marks appeared three kilometers ahead of his tactical hand.

Luo Jianjin looked at Lao Lang and asked, "Does the drone have video transmission?"

"No, captain, there is a river ahead, and the jungle area is on the other side of the river! The drone cannot collect images. What should we do now?"

When the beard frowned, his face became even darker, and he continued to ask: "How far is it from our combat area?"

"Six hundred meters!"

"Then go there first and see what's going on. If they need support, we'll give them a wave of fire support."

"Yes, boss."

Seeing the whole car, there was no other reaction, and Bai Mao curled his lips incomprehensibly. Those people in the expeditionary army are so fucking fucked up to help? Anyway, he wasn't going to contribute for a while, and he wasn't bad at all.

The spider car jumped and ran wildly on the red field, and the dense grass was quickly broken and crushed.

When the car made a sharp turn around the slowly rising hills ahead, the group of people finally saw the quietly flowing river and the lush and layered jungle.

Hey! ~~~

With a sharp flick of the tail, the spider car is quite stable.

"Tiger Squad!"

"exist!"

"—Attack!"

Tracy's long, toned legs stretched out, she leapt down, and as she ran a few steps to the edge of the river, she threw up her left hand.

A black shackle shot out directly, hitting the opposite tree crown over a distance of more than 30 meters, and then disappeared into the jungle on the other side with the force of the shackle shrinking.

The old deer has already put on a special electronic auxiliary helmet, jumped off the spider car and mines all around.

Luo Jianjin took the lead in manipulating the exoskeleton armor into the river.

As for the old wolf, it has disappeared.

Mu Fan pulled out the unactivated laser spear, touched the combat dagger tied to his leg, and exchanged a glance with Yin Shuai: "Let's go."

When the two saw Luo Jianjin's figure disappearing behind a slope, the old wolf's voice suddenly came from their ears: "There are 14 members of the expeditionary force, and they are exchanging fire with the Zege clan!"

"The Zerg tribe is numerous, with a preliminary estimate of more than 200. It has been found that there are beetles with a diameter of about half a meter, and guards with a diameter of two meters. There are also...five tiger insects!?"

The old wolf's voice became urgent, "Tiger bugs and low-level beetles appear at the same time, which means that there must be a nest of the Zerg tribe nearby!!"

"These expeditionary forces swept to a lair of the Zerg clan!"

"It turned out to be an encounter! The whole team is looking for shooting positions, and Mu Fan and Yin Shuai stay away from the battlefield!" Luo Jianjin finally gave the order for the two to evacuate.

But Mu Fan and Yin Shuai, who were lying on the fallen giant tree, looked at each other, with blazing flames in their eyes.

"Don't withdraw!"

"Idiots will withdraw!"
