Chapter 1676 Infected

Vincent and Berhardt teamed up to deal with the raiding sandworms. Mo Ye, Mandel and Brick paddled together to watch the whole process.

The two returned to the back of the brick and sat down, gasping for breath. Dealing with this kind of Zerg that was equivalent to a few lives was extremely exhausting.

Uncle Banzhuan walked forward slowly, and Xiao Qi personally acted as a signal jamming device. The storyboard images of Mo Ye's team's positions were never clear from the beginning, and the clear images were rarely seen with Mo Ye's consent. Xia Xiaoqi deliberately made it.

The system of this small bracelet has been cracked into a sieve by Xiaoqi.

Uncle Banzhuan's folded wings were itchy and trembling, "Really not flying?"

Mo Ye patted Banzhuan's head and threw out a few pieces of energy ore, "I won't fly for now."

There is enough to eat and everything, and all the complaints of Uncle Banzhuan are swallowed along with the energy mine.

This time, Brick didn't go for a long time, and suddenly there were two green cursors on the bracelet map, which were less than one kilometer apart, and they were rapidly shortening the distance.

"Huh?" Xiao Qi was surprised, "Master, these two people don't match the mercenary information registered on the satellite fortress."

The two moved very fast, one behind the other, and appeared in front of Mo Ye and the others in the blink of an eye as soon as they entered the detection range of the bracelet.

At this time, the brick had returned to its miniature form and was stuffed into Mo Ye's pocket.

This was the first time Mo Ye and his party had seen a living person after such a long journey, except for the mercenaries who had been sent to one area at the beginning.

The two men were wearing leather armor and holding weapons. They were covered in blood, their eyes were bloodshot, and they looked like they had just escaped from a fierce battle.

When the two of them saw Mo Ye and his party, they were surprised at first, with vigilant expressions on their faces, and then very unexpectedly, they bypassed Mo Ye and his party with the intention of continuing to run wildly.

"Captain, it looks like they are running for their lives, and their running speed hasn't slowed down at all."

Mo Ye's eyes fell on the direction the two men were running from, and he said slowly, "It's true that they are running for their lives."

Three other green cursors soon appeared on the bracelet, still unknown people whose personal information could not be found in the roster that Xiao Qi had previously registered.

At the same time, a group of Zerg appeared, rolling in the sand and stones like gophers,

Seen from afar, the sand and gravel ground raised up and rolled quickly small bumps followed the three people.

The reason why the speed of these three people is slower than the previous two is probably because these three people did not forget to fight the Zerg that was buried in the soil while running.

Mo Ye frowned slightly. The mental power fluctuations of these three people were obviously different from ordinary people. It was a normal reaction to be highly active and excited during a battle, but it was very unusual to be excited beyond the human level.

The three of them were obviously out of control, their eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot, and their bodies were full of violent killing intent. The moment they saw Mo Ye and his party, they rushed over without hesitation and launched an attack.

boom!

The hot flame thorns rolled from the ground, reflecting a fiery red light in the night sky.

Berhardt moved forward quickly, squatting down with both legs and clapping his hands to the ground, rolling vigorously, spinning up from the soles of his feet and gathering on his palms.

boom!

The high-level earth-type combat skill with a simple name but not a simple power of 'Avalanche' exerted great power at this moment.

The sand and rocks on the ground suddenly cracked like a huge tumbling wave, rushing towards the three mercenaries madly.

Jumping into the air together with the flaming thorns on the ground, the bright flames beat the attackers in the air along with the tumbling waves of rubble.

Vincent did not step forward to help Berhardt but changed direction. The wind roared in the air, and a wind wall rose from the ground, spinning and spreading to form a huge barrier.

The two mercenaries running wildly bumped into the wind wall without checking, and were blocked.

Just kidding, the troubles brought by these two people didn't make sense. They solved the problem, but they ran away without a trace.

The two mercenaries had experienced fierce battles and consumed a lot of energy. At this time, unless they didn't want to live anymore, they wouldn't attack Mo Ye and his party rashly.

Seeing that the two could not run away, Vincent turned around to assist Berhardt in intercepting and killing those Zerg that were rolling rapidly underground.

"Master, this is Barnardot."

"Barnardo" translates into common language and probably means earth dragon. Although this kind of Zerg has a dragon in its name, it has no blood relationship with dragons. Its body shape is somewhat similar to that of a pangolin, and its habits are more like gophers. It can quickly dig holes and roll in the underground sand and rocks, its defense power is stronger than its attack power, and its movement speed is extremely fast.

Like the soil and sand worms they encountered before, these Zergs also have stronger combat effectiveness than the encyclopedia records, far exceeding the average level of the race, and their combat effectiveness has soared extremely fast.

During this period, Berhardt still needs to pay attention to the three mercenaries who have been gnawing on them with red eyes.

"Captain, they don't seem to be in the right state." Mandel finally diverted his attention from the Zerg to the three unconscious mercenaries.

"Well, a parasite?" Mo Ye said, as if asking Mandel and whispering to himself.

Neither Mandel nor Xiaoqi could give an answer. Visual inspection cannot draw accurate conclusions. Detailed inspections must be carried out. Direct genetic testing is naturally the fastest and most effective way.

Mo Ye lowered his eyes and withdrew his mental power, "It's not a parasite."

There is no hidden second mental power fluctuation, these three mercenaries are just out of control mercenaries.

If you think that you can put your heart in your pocket the whole time and enjoy the joyful journey of being protected and being lazy and full of security, you are completely wrong.

After two consecutive high-intensity battles, Berhardt and Vincent almost lost their strength after the battle. They took a few energy bars to recover.

Restraining the five mercenaries separately, Mandel immediately took a genetic sample and began to work hard.

"Hehe, it seems that we are not the only ones who were deceived."

.........

When night fell, the large area covered by the night changed from silent to full of dangers. During the daytime, walking hundreds of kilometers without seeing a single Zerg sprung up like mushrooms after rain, blooming everywhere.

Walking 100 meters to meet one, walking one kilometer to meet a group, this probability makes the mercenaries startled, and at the same time, they are deeply dissatisfied with the practice of the Temple of Liberty for blatantly defrauding them. For the actions of the Templar Legion, they could only accept their fate helplessly.

Zerg rushed out from every corner.

"ending?"

"Is this the end of the battlefield?"

"This is clearly throwing us as cannon fodder to the front line."

"These bastards really know how to play."

The mercenaries in the third ring of Belive star ring were randomly dropped into different areas, and started a chase battle with the Zerg in the night.

When fighting the Zerg, he still cursed and turned his dissatisfaction and anger towards the Templar Legion into explosive combat power and released it on the Zerg.

above the satellite fortress,

Several temple officers in uniforms were still intently observing the circular light curtain, and the split-mirror pictures showed the real-time status of each area of ​​the third ring.

"The combat power of these mercenaries is much better than I expected."

"It's okay." The officer standing in the middle obviously looked down on these mercenaries, "I hope they can last longer."

"Oh..." the major with the highest rank went to the side and sat down, "How are the soldiers of the 324 and 323 companies doing now?"

"The situation is fairly stable, and it hasn't continued to deteriorate." Another person shrugged, "But it hasn't improved, and we can only maintain the current state for the time being."

The major's eyes swept across the ring-shaped light curtain on the entire wall, and the split-mirror images displayed by the light curtain were far more than the group of mercenaries sent by the satellite fortress this time.

In fact, what Mo Ye and the others didn't know was that they were not the only ones nor the first ones to be sent there for the mop-up mission on the battlefield this time.

Before them, there were two groups of mercenaries who entered the third ring battlefield of Belive star ring three days earlier than this group.

In the picture presented by the circular light curtain, those teams that had prepared for the night were the mercenaries who entered the battlefield first.

"It's pretty quick to adapt."

"The previous batch has all been bound with bracelets, and the current casualty rate has reached 30%, and no infected body has yet appeared."

"This is the last chance. If we still can't find out the source of the infection, we can only temporarily abandon the belt of the Belive star. This will have a great impact on the next strategic deployment of the legion. Several announcements have been issued." The major rubbed his eyebrows, feeling very headache about the outbreak of the disease in this battle.

Nearly 10,000 legionnaires who landed and fought, excluding those who died in battle, nearly 40% were infected with an unknown virus, and became unconscious, bloodthirsty and tyrannical, and did not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. The amplitude increased sharply, and after the attack ended, the body organs experienced different degrees of rapid failure, and the loss of life was serious. In the worst case, they would even die suddenly after the attack ended.

When such a situation broke out on the battlefield for the first time, many soldiers died at the hands of their comrades.

Such a death method is too cruel and ironic for the soldiers who are dedicated to fighting the Zerg and protecting their homeland.

The battle was won, and the Zerg army was driven away, but the Zerg in Belive Star Ring still exists. In order to occupy this extremely important strategic stronghold, the Temple of Liberty does not want to give up, but it is impossible to let this strange infection go unnoticed .

Two special companies successively entered Xinghuan for investigation, and none of them survived. The entire army was almost wiped out. Now they have all been sent back to the medical center where they are stationed.

If it is impossible to find out what caused the virus infection, the Temple of Freedom is undoubtedly holding a blockbuster that does not know when it will explode, and the threat is too great.

Use mercenaries with good combat capabilities to monitor the whole process, hoping to find out the source of the virus.

The major glanced at another officer who didn't say a word the whole time, "You haven't said a word since you received this order, aren't you bored?"

"Why, you plan to keep silent to protest me?" Major Ruize relaxed and leaned back. "Are you planning to continue this attitude in the strategy meeting?"

The inch-headed officer just replied flatly, "Since my words can't change the result, what do you want me to say?"

"Leon, they are just some mercenaries who can do their best and even lose their dignity for the sake of profit, what are you up to?" Ruize was inconceivable for his old comrade-in-arms' strong resistance to the military order this time.

"The mission came voluntarily, but I was told clearly that it would be very dangerous. As long as they can survive, they can leave the embarrassment of wandering around without a fixed place and live without dignity and faith to join the temple. What's wrong with that? of?"

The officer's expression turned colder.

"Okay, okay." Major Ruize raised his hands and signaled, "I don't think it's appropriate for us to discuss this issue..."

At this moment, a member of the communication team in charge of monitoring suddenly shouted, "Report to the sir, there is a situation."

"What's wrong?"

Three independent pictures in the light curtain were pulled out and enlarged to form a holographic light curtain in the center of the hall.

In one of the pictures, the seven mercenaries who were thrown together had a scuffle. Originally, these seven people were dealing with the Zerg that they encountered on the way, but suddenly, two of them seemed to have gone crazy. , Killing the Zerg is enough, even killing one's own people.

Seeing such a scene, several officers frowned at the same time, "No signs at all?"

"No, the fight started a minute ago."

"Analyze frame by frame of all the images recorded from the launch and landing to the outbreak of battle. Has the biological state been transmitted back?"

"The signal is delayed, and it will take about twelve minutes before there will be the latest biological information status feedback."

This was the first time an infected person appeared after the deployment of mercenaries. Even though the whole process of monitoring, there was still no sign of a sign.

This reminded them of the investigation and inquiry of the legionnaire who was infected by the virus. They didn't know anything about it. The investigation of the infection was not smooth from the beginning, and there was no progress.

Whether it is a virus infection caused by the special environment of the third star ring or some kind of Zerg, it is still unclear for the time being, although the expert team of the Temple of Freedom is more inclined to be caused by Zerg.

No matter which species of the Zerg with the third star ring is obviously more effective and lethal than the same race.

The daytime of the third star ring is less than four hours, but the night is more than ten hours long, and most of the time is shrouded in darkness, and the nocturnal Zerg also brings great difficulty to the investigation work.

Most of the monitoring screens are dark at night and need to be brightened by technical means. It's ripples.

Among the three groups of images released separately, apart from the group killing each other, the other two groups are fighting the Zerg. There are also infected people, but the situation is not the same.

"Which mercenary group are these people from?"
