One Thousand Four Hundred and Seventy-Four Easier to Deal with than the Defenders
Buha Island is finished.
Although the Tiangong's firepower coverage did not damage the laboratory, the vegetation on the island was affected. Only a little green remained near the laboratory.
It is no longer suitable to continue to station troops here, not only because of the vegetation problem on the island, but also because the aliens have their eyes on Buha Island. Although this wave of attacks was crushed by the Tiangong, what about the next wave?
The insect people have escaped, and there is no point in the laboratory staying on Buha Island. After receiving the news, Beidu ordered the garrison to evacuate.
The garrison cannot be withdrawn at will. In addition to the supplies and equipment of the troops themselves, the research materials and various achievements in the laboratory must be withdrawn.
Research materials are much more important than the supplies of the garrison. He Xiangdong ordered the troops to transport the experimental equipment first, and the supplies and equipment of the troops themselves should all be put behind.
Tiangong is still over Buha Island, which can provide He Xiangdong with two hours of firepower cover. When Tiangong leaves, the aliens may launch another round of attack at any time.
Time was very tight. He Xiangdong personally moved the equipment with the soldiers and sent all the things that could be taken away from the laboratory to the warship.
The swarm of insects hidden in the sea tried to land several times in these two hours, but were intercepted by the firepower from the Tiangong, and did not even touch the edge of the island defense troops.
After several consecutive failures, the aliens also realized that continuing to attack was thankless, so they simply did not waste that effort. He Xiangdong and his soldiers finally evacuated the laboratory to the ship within two hours.
In view of the aliens' covetous eyes, Beidu decided to abandon the supplies on the island and all troops immediately evacuated Buha Island.
In this way, the warships carried out a round of devastating artillery fire on the garrison's supply storage point. After confirming that the remaining supplies on the island were destroyed, the two warships set sail and headed towards Kalidan Island on the west side of Buha Island.
The situation in Kalidan was similar to that of Buha Island. There were crazy bushes everywhere. Except for a few human settlements, the original cities and transportation systems had long been destroyed by the swarm.
But the two orbital elevators under Beidu are both located on Kalidan Island. The military has built a complete defense system around the orbital elevators, including ground fortifications, air defense positions, missile positions, air force bases and a military port. It is Beidu's most important military base in the equatorial region.
The garrison of Buha Island was ordered to withdraw to the equatorial base and rest there for a while, waiting for the military to re-arrange.
Now is the critical point when the Turkish foreign fleet is approaching. All troops across the country have been assigned tasks. No troops are idle, and the garrison on Buha Island is no exception.
Most of the troops guarding the orbital elevators are from the Marine Corps. He Xiangdong and his troops are also part of the Marine Corps. Therefore, he has a hunch that his troops will most likely stay at the equatorial base and become part of the garrison.
Looking at the increasingly distant Buha Island, He Xiangdong knew that he would never have the chance to catch the escaping insect man in his life. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little lost and disappointed.
He Xiangdong didn't know that at this moment, the insect man he had not been able to find was watching the warships away from Buha Island.
Coincidentally, last night, in order to avoid the garrison, John led the insect men into the dense jungle, just avoiding the satellite search.
John had planned for this day for a long time. After leaving the battlefield, he immediately led the team to change the route to the west. Along the way, he rushed to the west coast of Buha Island at the fastest speed and dived into a natural cave not far from the coast.
This place was discovered when landing on Buha Island two years ago. The entrance of the cave is not big, but the interior is very deep. The structure of the cave is very complicated, and there is an underground river flowing from the cave to the sea. It is simply the best hiding place.
More importantly, this place used to be a hiding place for a group of pirates. When it was discovered, there were three ships hidden in the cave, including advanced speedboats, semi-new fishing boats, and even a white sailing yacht that was robbed from somewhere.
Before arriving at the cave, John had been worried about the situation here. It was not until he entered the cave and found that the boat hidden in the cave was still intact that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After finally escaping to the cave, John did not relax. He was worried that the guards would catch up and that he would be discovered by aliens.
For this reason, he arranged a few people to guard the cave entrance, and the others hurried to check the situation of the boat.
The speedboat was too small, and the equipment on it had long been broken and was completely useless; the situation of the fishing boat was not much better. The cave was damp and dark, and the anti-rust paint on the hull was mottled. When you touch it, the rust spots fall down layer by layer; the sailing yacht was not much better, but it was the best ship among the three ships, and the internal space was not bad. If you squeeze in the boat, you can fit everyone in without any problem.
But the good condition of the ship does not mean that you can go to sea. Although the distance between Kalidan and Buha Island is not far, you can't leave the safety of everyone in the hands of a broken ship.
So John led people to check the sailboat overnight... He said he led people to check, but in fact he just followed and watched, and someone else was in charge.
In this way, John and others were busy until dawn, and only took a look at the cave entrance when the Tiangong was covering the fire.
The humidity on the island was high, and the laser formed a clear light path in the air. The Zerg could see the laser falling from the sky with the naked eye.
The moment he saw the lasers scattered all over the sky, John couldn't help but say: "The Zerg is finished!"
Just as he said, the Zerg was indeed finished, and many people were ready to leave Buha Island.
John also wanted to leave quickly, but he knew that there were warships of Beidu near Buha Island. If he left rashly at this time, he would immediately appear on the radar of the warship. If the warship fired a shot, he would die without knowing how he died.
So John decided to wait a little longer and patiently persuaded others.
For this reason, John was even prepared for a protracted war, even if he had to hide in the cave for ten days or half a month. However, he did not expect the garrison to withdraw so quickly. Early in the morning, the sentry saw two warships leaving Buha Island.
John could not believe his eyes. After the excitement, caution returned to his brain and he began to worry that Beidu only withdrew the warships and the garrison would still stay on the island.
So he persuaded everyone to wait for a while until the warships were out of sight, and then sent a few reconnaissance bugs out of the cave to explore the situation on the island.
A few hours later, the returning reconnaissance bugs brought back the good news that all the garrison had evacuated, but they also brought back the bad news that the swarm had landed again.
John breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was not worried about the swarm of insects at all - the swarm of insects was much easier to deal with than the defenders!
