Chapter 222: The Great War Ends

rumbling...

In the combat channel, Planck's harsh warning sound had just fallen, before his spaceship had lifted the joystick and hadn't soared much higher, suddenly, the sloping cave that he threw into the oversized incendiary bomb Suddenly, there were bursts of dull explosions, and the ground near the entire ground base seemed to start to vibrate slightly.

Then, terrifying flames with a height of hundreds of meters spewed out directly from the opening of the huge sloping crypt, and even, they directly reflected the dark and dim night sky of this planet red...

Fortunately, the huge incendiary tank, with its huge kinetic energy, has rolled to a sufficient depth below the ground; also fortunately, it is only an extra-large solid-liquid mixed incendiary bomb for the purpose of burning, rather than giving priority to explosion. bombs.

Therefore, when it explodes in a sufficient underground depth, apart from making the surface of the ground base vibrate slightly like an earthquake and bursting out bursts of shock waves and seismic waves, it cannot cause too much damage to the steel buildings of the base. Influence.

Flames, countless terrifying flames, except for most of them roaring underground that humans cannot see, burned and spread crazily in that underground cave of unknown depth and length, sweeping countless bugs, and bursts of bugs came out from it The screams and neighs of being scorched by flames.

In addition, there is also a considerable part of the flames and fuel, which spewed out directly from the collapsed exit of the crypt as a vent, like a huge volcanic eruption, and the violently burning fuel was slanted like magma. After gushing out towards the sky, they flew down covering the entire battlefield in Area C one after another.

Since the JNO.3 planet itself has oxygen, and the extra-large incendiary bomb is made of a mixture of special fuel and oxidizer, it can burn in an oxygen-free environment, so at this moment, it exploded After it burns, it has a terrifying power in itself, coupled with the combustion aided by the oxygen in the atmospheric environment of this planet, it makes it burn extremely fiercely!

"Wow, what a big firework..."

Little Annie, who was putting away the tank stand and was about to switch to push mode, was a little surprised when she saw the explosion and burning picture on the airborne screen.

This level of flame, although the temperature is not too high, the power is not too great, it is much worse than her magic flame. But, after all, it is something produced by human beings using technology. As long as the output can keep up, there will be as much as there is. It is much cheaper than throwing magic by herself!

If Anne were to use her own magic power instead, if the tens of thousands of bugs in that cave were to be burned up, at least a half of her own magic power would have to be used up, right?

"Beware, men! The flames are about to fall,

Pay attention to avoid! "

When the other marines stood up one after another, or looked up at the big fireworks in the sky, or stared dumbfounded at the hole that was still gushing with flames in the distance, a scream suddenly roared in the channel.

Only then did they discover to their horror that the things that burst into the air after the flames of the fire were not just burning rock fragments or the corpses of insects, but also a considerable part of them. Groups of large and small solid-liquid mixed combustion agents?

Therefore, as a matter of course, after they flew high into the sky and exhausted their kinetic energy, those clusters of flames fell down one after another with those viscous, burning and terrible fuels, like a huge fire rain, instantly covering the front of the cave. , the battlefield of hundreds of meters in the fan-shaped direction was all covered in the fire field...

"ah?!"

"Ah! Help!"

"Damn it, my armor is on fire too!!"

"No! My armor is going to be overloaded, someone help me!!!"

At this time, some marines who had no time to dodge in the jet direction of the cave entrance were contaminated by the sporadic viscous fuel that spewed out and fell down, and then they began to stop screamed.

Of course, the Marine Corps' standard armored power combat uniforms they wore had a certain ability to resist high temperature protection, and they hadn't suffered any damage in the armor for the time being.

However, they still screamed and ran, or fell to the ground and rolled over. For a while, the scattered flames made the entire Marine Corps defense line into chaos.

There are still some quick-witted people who turned around and ran towards the inside of the base with flames all over them, as if they wanted the fire extinguishing equipment in the base to help them?

And those who screamed and ran around or rolled on the spot did not end well. No matter how hard they tried, those flames could not be extinguished. Instead, the viscous and terrifying burning agent quickly spread to their bodies, instantly It turned into a huge fireman...

And their companions followed them at a loss, as if they wanted to step forward to help, but they didn't know what to do.

And those who dared to summon their courage and tried to pull it forward, were quickly spread to their arms by the flames on the opponent's body. No matter how hard they shook the mechanical arm of the power suit, those flames could not be extinguished slightest.

"Damn UPL... this flame, isn't it a little too crazy?"

With lingering fear, Galen looked at a large mass of viscous incendiary that fell on a rock and began to burn violently, and took several steps back in fear.

Sure enough, before, the human beings on their earth, and the damned UPL earth coalition government, were able to slowly colonize the universe, and there was a faint tendency to become the overlord of one side, which is definitely not unreasonable...

All of this is the power of human knowledge and wisdom! It is the root of the reason why human beings can colonize the universe!

No matter how many bugs there are, no matter how terrifying their fangs and claws are, but with human wisdom and technology, all kinds of weapons of war have been weighed, and it is by no means just relying on the instinct of the body to fight The bugs can resist!

Now look, what if there are more of them? After the humans on the Hope slowly developed, didn't they get rid of them with a large incendiary bomb?

"Oh... this should be over, right?"

Another miserable night...

When the aftermath of the incendiary bomb explosion ended and there were no more falling embers in the sky, Galen relaxed a little. Looking at the sky and the ground reddened by the flames, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

If this huge incendiary bomb was not directly thrown into the cave, but fell outside the cave by mistake, I am afraid that all the marines present would be burned into red iron bumps by these terrifying flames Bar?

Looking at the puddles of flames that were still burning violently on the ground around him, as well as those bug entities crackling under the flames, Galen finally lowered his muzzle slowly.

No wonder, no wonder that old bastard Planck wanted to warn them to hide in time. If they were still exposed in the direction of the cave entrance, I am afraid that many of them would be like those unlucky people who were running around?

"Marines who are on fire, please pay attention! Anyone who is on fire, immediately run to the edge of Area C and Area B at full speed. SCV engineering vehicles have prepared effective fire extinguishing equipment! Those flames, they will not be destroyed by normal If the means are extinguished, stop wasting your own time!"

"Repeat again! Attention all Marines who are on fire! Move to Area C at full speed immediately..."

At this time, the stern voice of Commander Doug sounded again in the channels of all the marines.

She knows very well that this kind of burning agent cannot be extinguished by ordinary water or rolling on the spot, even if it is covered with sand and rocks to isolate the atmosphere of this planet!

Because these combustion agents themselves have their own combustion aids and active metals, coupled with their own sticky properties, they can be attached to any object and burn, and once they are messed up, they can only let those combustion agents burn on them. It continued to spread on my body until it was completely burned out!

If you don't use the correct method to put out the fire earlier, by then, I'm afraid even the armored power suit will be destroyed by the high-temperature flames, right?

Even if it won't be burned, the occupants inside will definitely be slowly roasted into a pile of cooked meat by the high temperature!

After all, even if the CMC-300/400 armored power combat suit itself is designed to withstand the harsh environment, it can temporarily move freely in some fire fields, but there is an upper limit after all!

Whether the temperature is too low or too high, it will exceed their own adjustment upper limit. When its own adjustment mechanism is overloaded, it will cause serious damage to the marines inside!

"Hey! Galen, there shouldn't be anything for us now, right?"

Looking at the horrific scene of fire that was still burning on the opposite side and would not stop for a short time, Darius said to Galen next to him, and then threw away the rifle in his hand that had already run out of bullets. Then he randomly found a stone that hadn't been burned by the flames, and just sat down on it.

His armor, together with his own weight, crushed the stone in an instant.

To be honest, although the battle this time didn't last too long, the short and fierce exchange of fire under high intensity still exhausted him.

In that kind of battle that required a high degree of concentration, and even the rifle was hit by him two or three times, the physical and mental energy consumption of the person was huge!

In addition, their Viper team was still on guard at night, and they were already exhausted. Now, after finally being able to relax, he felt waves of burnout rushing into his heart.

Later, after confirming safety, he must return to the barracks as soon as possible, take off this bulky armor, and then have a good night's sleep!

"Should it be over? Look at the fire, it is estimated that they will burn for at least one or two hours..."

call!

Heaving a sigh of relief, Galen also imitated Darius, walked over, found a place to sit down, and put his electromagnetic rifle with safety, carefully placed beside him.

Being woken up in the middle of the night, and participating in such a high-intensity battle, he himself felt exhausted!

Although wearing a power combat suit can save a lot of energy, and standing inside it is not very strenuous, but if you sit down, it is still much more comfortable than when you are standing.

"By the way, Darius, tell me, can these bugs eat the meat?"

The two sat while looking at the huge fire field in front of them that was burned by the incendiary agent.

When the corpses of those bugs were stained with the incendiary agent and given some points, relying on the trace amount of oxygen in this planet and the biological oil in the corpses of the bugs, after being roasted at high temperature, the pile of corpses of the bugs also began to gradually It burned and emitted bursts of black smoke.

"..."

From time to time, those bugs will be burned and crackled.

Even, Galen saw a worm that was relatively close, its shattered flesh was burned by the fire, and it was trembling all the time, and a fat-like liquid was oozing out from time to time, and when these After the liquid came into contact with the flame, it fueled the fire even more, which in turn continued to roast the insect flesh.

Then, looking at the white meat that was gradually starting to brown, Galen felt his throat twitching all the time, swallowing his saliva. This is the instinctive reaction of human beings when they see food.

"It shouldn't be possible, right? Their body fluids are strongly acidic. Strong acid is highly poisonous to us humans!"

Such a ferocious monster is disgusting just by looking at it, so how could it be possible to eat it?

Although that is what he said, Darius felt that if the air on this planet did not have those highly toxic and strong acid vapors, he really wanted to take off his helmet and take a good smell. The large-scale barbecue in front of him The taste, presumably, must be very fragrant, right?

"What's wrong?"

Darius, who was about to continue to say something, saw Galen stand up suddenly, and then he also turned his head to look in the direction the other party was looking in doubt.

Over there, there was a marine soldier whose whole body was on fire, thumping and rolling non-stop, and around the other side, there were also several united front members who were bewildered around the other side.

They seemed to want to step forward to help, but they were a little afraid of the flames on each other's body, so for a while, they were in a stalemate.

"Forget it, Galen, it's useless, let the SCV engineering vehicles handle it."

Seeing that idiot's appearance, Darius shook his head helplessly.

The fully enclosed armored power suits of the marines have the ability to resist a certain high temperature. Now, seeing that the other party still has the strength to make a fuss, it probably hasn't burned into it yet, right?

Tsk!

That idiot, he must have been frightened by the fire all over his body, right?

Wouldn't he calm down and run to the edge of Area C and Area B that Commander Doug said as quickly as possible before the high temperature scorched it inside?

What's the use of him thumping around like this? Others can't help him even if they want to help him! Didn't you see several people nearby who wanted to help him, but he broke away and caught fire?

"Forget it, let me help him!"

After speaking, Darius shook his head and smiled again, and then used his authority to directly connect to the channel of the SCV engineering vehicles at the base.

"Are there any engineers in areas C and B who have nothing to do? On our side, there is a fool who is on fire and is thumping for joy! You'd better send someone to help him immediately, or else , Later, an iron-clad roasted human flesh will be freshly baked!"

After speaking, Darius marked the signal location of the idiot on fire on the map, and then turned off the communication.

He felt that the quality of these newcomers was getting worse and worse!

I don't know, next, will the next batch of soldiers selected and recruited by Hope using that game platform be the same as these bastards?

I hope... no?

"Okay, you're right, let's do it first."

After seeing that Darius summoned the SCV engineer, and seeing that there was indeed an SCV taxiing over at high speed at the junction of Area C and Area B with a fire extinguishing device, Galen nodded and sat down again.

Since there are professional firefighters coming to deal with it, it is better for him not to cause trouble for others. It is also a good choice to take the time to take a good rest.

quack! !

There was a screeching sound of friction between the tracks of the tank and the ground after the tank braked. Then, a red-painted heavy siege tank slid at a high speed and rushed over. Behind it, a cloud of dust and thick smoke was mixed together. It narrowly stopped in front of the Marine Corps member who was thrashing hard and his whole body was on fire.

Originally, Little Annie planned to use the tank to rush directly to the side of the fire, or to go to the side of Galen and Darius to have a laugh.

However, when it passed the Marine Corps member whose body was on fire and rolling on the ground, Anne didn't know what he was thinking, so Anne suddenly steered the tank to make a sharp turn, and braked dangerously beside the opponent to stop.

Bang bang!

After the huge siege tank in assault mode stopped, the thick metal hatch on the top of its turret was suddenly opened from the inside, and then, to the surprise of the surrounding marines, crawled inside It turned out to be a little girl?

"Wow! Are you playing with fire? Watch out for bedwetting at night!"

A clear and clear voice of a little girl like an oriole rang directly from the channels of the surrounding marines.

Then, when little Anne nimbly jumped up from the tank with the top cabin supported, she trotted briskly for two steps, and sat directly on one of the huge gun barrels of her new car.

She just swayed her legs condescendingly, tilted her head, and looked at the big man of the Marine Corps on the ground who was still rolling and thrashing, his whole body was covered with terrifying flames.

"..."

The surrounding marines didn't pay much attention to this little girl who came to join in the fun.

Either they continued to surround the companion who was still on fire on the ground at a loss, or they looked curiously at this strange little girl who was driving a tank and wearing a ghost suit.

Looking at the military rank on her chest, it seems that she is still a major? So, it must be the ghost in the rumors, right?

Most of them, although they have heard of Little Annie's record, and know that there is a very powerful ghost agent in the battle sequence of the Hope, but they have only seen each other's appearance in the documents. , Now, this is the first time they have met face to face.

"Help! Ah! It's starting to heat up!"

"Ah! It's hot, it's hot! Someone save me, ah! I'm scalding to death!"

At this time, the idiot who was flopping about indiscriminately finally knew how to speak.

After fluttering for such a long time, the heat resistance of his armor has reached its limit.

Now, after the equipment has been overloaded, the high temperature has finally gradually penetrated into his armor, directly making him feel the burning pain and scorching sensation of the blazing fire, and even some fragile parts are almost cooked?

Then, while screaming, he continued to roll and thump while feces and urine flowed.

In fact, this is what he asked for!

If at the beginning, he had calmed down for the first time, without making noise or fluttering, but had run at full speed to the area designated by Commander Doug, the fires on his body would have been extinguished long ago. wait until now?

"Oh... So, you are not playing with fire? Then..."

After seeing the other party's reaction and the piercing screams, little Annie almost laughed out loud.

(Master Anne, this unlucky little dick is almost cooked, aren't you ready to make a move? ——Seeing that little Annie is still a little hesitant, Tibbers sighed helplessly Tone, it feels that enough is enough for playing around, right? Now, it’s almost enough to bake it to half-cooked, so-so...)

"Shut up! Tibbers, I didn't start the fire!"

Then, after tilting her head and thinking for a while, she suddenly stretched out a slender finger still wearing tight armor, pointing directly towards the opponent's body out of thin air.

In the next moment, something that stunned everyone happened!

The terrifying flames and incendiary that had burned the marine almost into a human-shaped fireball seemed to be alive. After the little girl stretched out her fingers, they left the marine's body one after another. , flew to the fingertips of the little girl sitting on the gun barrel, and gathered together, gathered together, forming a fiercely burning fireball?

"..."

"this……"

"What is this?"

Is this the so-called supernatural power? Or phantom energy? Damn UPL, is this still human power, this is so unscientific...

At this time, all the marines nearby, as well as the SCV engineer who hurried over with the fire extinguishing equipment, all looked up in surprise and looked at the dangling legs, sitting playfully. On the gun barrel, the little girl was playing with the fireball with her fingertips like a basketball.

"Sir! Next time, don't call us for something like this that you can handle by yourself!"

After a while, the SCV engineer who ran for nothing looked at the marines lying on the ground moaning and emitting bursts of white smoke, and then took another look at the man sitting on the gun barrel playing with fireballs. After the little girl, she could only mutter angrily.

Regardless of rank or status, this little girl is not something he, a little engineer, can afford!

Therefore, he had no choice but to swallow the ugly words that he was about to swear, and after casually saying something resentful, he turned around and took his fire extinguishing equipment with him, and returned to Area B in despair.

Now there are many buildings in area B that have been affected by the fire just now. Although the steel buildings are not very afraid of burning, for the sake of safety, they had better go quickly and extinguish those flames.

"Is this the kind of magic she keeps talking about? That's really cool!"

Darius and the two sitting in the distance, of course, saw little Annie's every move, and then Darius began to exclaim.

"Galen, I have made a decision now: I will follow in the footsteps of little Anne, respond to her great call, let her enchant me with the so-called battle ax she mentioned, and I will become a powerful continent that can fight melee Team member! Oh, no! It should be the future general of the Marine Corps!"

After squinting at little Anne in the distance for a while, Darius finally made up his mind.

This battle tonight made him feel that his rifle was no longer able to protect his own safety.

Once those bugs get close to him, it is obvious that he cannot guarantee his own safety with the short bayonet in front of the rifle!

In this case, if little Annie can really get herself a magic weapon that she mentioned, then it is actually a good idea for him to practice his melee combat skills and change the name of his marine team by the way. Not unacceptable?

"Are you sure you're not joking?"

Galen was a little surprised, he couldn't understand Darius' sudden thought.

Before that, it seemed that he was quite resistant, right? Now, have you fallen under the magical temptation of little Annie so quickly?

"Of course not! Galen, you have to know that for a long time to come, we will continue to stay on this planet and fight these bugs, and if we can have one more means of melee combat, maybe our lives will die." Will there be more protection?"

Darius pointed to the corpses of the four-legged worms rushing to the side and said.

Around their corpses, there are also scattered scattered corpses of many marines bleeding red blood.

At that time, when the battle situation was urgent, these bugs once rushed to the Marines, and their armored power suits, and the short bayonet of the electromagnetic rifle muzzle, were under the claws of the bugs, and were Their personal safety cannot be effectively guaranteed.

Therefore, this made Darius's choice even more firm. If there is really another reliable melee method, for the sake of his own life, he must try his best to fight for it.

"Okay...then, when the time comes, count me in as well!"

Looking at the miserable corpses of his companions around him, Galen's eyes dimmed.

In this fierce battle tonight, his cobra team had already lost three veterans. At this time, on his captain's panel, there were only six players left who still showed life signals.

Although, by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, new players will come to report and add to his team sequence, but he can still feel a little sad.

But this is war after all, so how can people not die?

"..."

"Hey! Little Annie, is the magical magic you are using now? Can you control flames?"

After negotiating with Galen, Darius smiled and opened the communication with Anne, and asked.

As for Little Annie's ability to release terrifying fireballs... er, it's magic. They've seen it before, and the huge skeleton lying on the beach is her masterpiece.

However, this is the first time they have seen that the other party can manipulate the flame at will! It must be one of the opponent's magical abilities, right?

"I didn't use magic!"

Although using magic is not much more difficult than breathing for little Annie, she really doesn't use magic now.

"Because, Flame, it's my favorite toy!"

Regarding manipulating flames, Annie said: You don't need to use magic on purpose at all!

Because the flame will act according to her own wishes, and she can control it however she likes, without consuming any of her magic power at all.

After finishing speaking, Little Annie shook her hand directly, causing the fireball on her finger to hit a seemingly flat ground in the distance, and then, soon, the loose ground trembled, and then violently Out of the ground was a snake-like monster that was on fire, screaming and screaming.

"What?! And bugs?"

"So people pay attention! Stay alert! Watch out for those loose ground! Those snake-like bugs, they will burrow and hide in it!"

After seeing Little Annie's movements and the snake-shaped bug that shot out bone spurs from the ground, Galen and Darius couldn't help but stay for a while.

Then, they reacted quickly, grabbed the electromagnetic rifle that was dropped by the two on the ground before, stood up and shouted loudly in the channel of the marines.

Click! Click!

The sound of two electromagnetic rifles being loaded sounded, and Galen and Darius grasped the weapons in their hands at the same time.

"Take up your weapons, hurry up! Prepare to fight!"

During the battle, those snake-shaped bug monsters that can launch terrifying and dense bone spurs from a long distance, they even go straight to the ground to avoid danger?

So, how many of these monsters are still lurking in the current battlefield?

"..."

After hearing the order and seeing the bug jumping out from the ground, all the marines had to become nervous again.

They held guns one by one and looked for a good position to guard, and stared at the loose ground near and far that seemed to be hiding bugs.

Because, no one knows, those bugs, will they jump out suddenly? Then, would that terrifying bone spur fly towards them in the next instant?

Without waiting for the post-battle statistics, they can almost know now that in tonight's battle, the casualties of the marines under the terrible bone spurs accounted for more than half of the total casualties, right?

At the very beginning, caught off guard, many of their companions fell on top of that terrible, highly toxic biological weapon like wheat being cut, and if, under this land, , and there are many snake-like monsters hidden, how are they going to clean up this area?

"Attention everyone, stay vigilant around the perimeter, and don't enter Area C for now..."
