Chapter 302 Hope
Whether it is the small insect tide composed of worker insects and bee insects that has surged up, or the sandworm that is currently entangled with itself, they are just low-level insects within the Zerg tribe.
They do not have the ability to serve as the core of the Zerg node network. Behind all the current crises, there must be a Zerg "commander".
This is determined by the structure of the Zerg, and there will never be any mistakes.
And the strength of a Zerg individual who can serve as a commander must be extraordinary.
The mantis can only command small low-level units such as worker insects and bee insects, and the sandworms may not be under its control.
The "commander" hiding in the dark will most likely be more powerful than the mantis!
Even more powerful.
If the other party didn't show up for a moment, Bai E's heart would never be at peace.
However, as of now, there are no fluctuations in "commands" in the "Hive Mind".
As long as those low-level bugs come face-to-face with humans, their desire for flesh and blood will naturally surpass everything else. They do not need meticulous command at all, and Bai E will never be able to discover the secretly existing "commander".
Of course, if the enemy only has what's in front of him, it's a good thing that the commander hiding in the dark is never willing to show up.
The six sandworms themselves are almost exterminated, and they can immediately free up their hands to clean up the remaining half of the insect swarm over there. The dawn of victory is close at hand.
Although this battle was a bit more difficult, the final result was still okay.
Even if the corpses of six sandworms could not be hauled all at once, it would still be good for each of the two transport vehicles to haul away one, which was considered a perfect completion of the task.
The premise is that things really won’t have any more twists and turns...
etc!
Bai E was stunned by the punch, and the gray-black picture almost flashed through his mind.
"grass!"
Bai E turned his head and looked at Song Ying beside the carrier, "Old Song, run!"
besides! More than six!
Although these large bugs also crave flesh and blood, the purpose of their creation by the insect nest seems to be to target human steel creations.
Although human steel creations are hard, the mechanical structures within them are also quite easy to damage. As long as one or two parts are twisted or broken, the entire creation will lose its due function.
The wise Lord of the Hive knows this very well, so the sandworm's only goal is to destroy all large steel creations of mankind.
After Song Ying, who completely trusted Bai E, heard Bai E's reminder, he almost without thinking, held the grenade launcher and evacuated frantically from the vicinity of the carrier vehicle.
Of course the car was important, but the attack of the sandworm was definitely not something that his flesh and blood body could resist.
As long as people are still around, everything has a chance.
One second...two seconds...three seconds...
Song Ying, who was escaping, felt that the battlefield had become silent in his ears, so quiet that it was as if only his own heartbeat was ringing alone, and time was passing by bit by bit under this slow perception.
Until a shocking loud noise suddenly sounded behind him——
"boom!"
The carrier vehicle of Bai E and others even rolled up to a higher height than the carrier vehicle of his teammates just now, rotated in the air, and then rolled to the ground.
The body of a conventional vehicle, which was not made of the Yuan alloy series, could not withstand such a high-intensity impact. The carriage was twisted and deformed. The door of the rear compartment, which Bai E had no time to fully lock, was also opened wide in the impact, and most of the materials in the carriage were It flows out while rolling.
Bai E smashed the last inch of the body of the sandworm in front of him with one punch, turned his head and glanced at -
Eight!
A dark despair rose unconsciously in his heart.
He was indeed not afraid, but he could not stop these bugs from destroying vehicles and killing teammates.
I can escape, but...
"More and more!"
"grass!"
The violent movement easily attracted everyone's attention, and there was a gray deathly look in the eyes of the soldiers who were still fighting.
Originally, even if the fight was difficult, there was still hope for victory in the end.
But now...
A steady voice sounded on the battlefield, loud and firm, and filled with inspiring power.
"Don't be afraid, wait for support."
Bai E stood on top of the sandworm with its body raised high. As the battle lasted, the power from the skill bonus made him clearly understand the characteristics of the sandworm's opponent. At this moment, taking advantage of the newcomer's The sandworm used all its strength to knock away the transport vehicle and climbed to the top of it during the brief stun period.
If you want to speak, you have to stand at the highest place to be heard by everyone...
Bai E held the spikes on the carapace on the back of the sandworm with one hand, and his whole body showed a powerful sense of readiness. His eyes swept across the entire battlefield, where the remaining human warriors were struggling to resist.
At this moment, what we need is hope!
"I have solved the problem with the sensor, and the information sent to the base has informed us of our position."
"Protect yourself, the results we achieved in this battle are already good enough."
"Protect the results of our victory, and victory will eventually belong to mankind!"
Standing on the tall insect body, Bai E's body was almost motionless compared to the insect body.
He clenched a fist with one hand and raised it high, calling in a deep voice: "For the empire!"
The soldiers' eyes widened and veins were exposed, "For the empire!"
["Lucky Blow" charge +7. 】
"Kill!" Bai E punched him down!
"Kill!" The soldiers raised their swords high.
["Lucky Blow" charge +7. 】
In the scattered materials, inside a ball of soft materials, the simply assembled instrument flashed a dazzling red light.
"Tick-tick-tick~"
The red light flashed quietly, indicating that it was working.
...
"Tick-tick~"
The buzzer made a slight alarm sound.
In the quiet and tense environment of the monitoring center, this unexpected sound was immediately discovered by the researcher who had been concentrating.
The man with glasses and thick hair looked puzzled and muttered to himself, "Where is the signal from?"
Looking at the string of messages that suddenly appeared on the monitor, the man touched the back of his head strangely.
The channel used by their receiving center signal tower has been specially processed, and the general signals received will not be sent to this analysis center dedicated to sensor research...
TM is wrong, this is a place dedicated to receiving Internet signals!
Now even their Blackwater City has just picked up this technology again, where can the signals from other places be sent to them? Even sent to the receiving center of this specific channel?
"Minister!" The researcher stood up suddenly, but before him, more excited voices sounded almost at the same time.
"Report to the Minister! All five lights of Team 1 are off!"
"Report to the Minister! All five lights of Team 2 are off!"
"Report to the Minister! All five lights of Team 3 are off!"
...
"Report to the Minister! All five lights of Team 10 are off!"
All off!
This shocking bad news immediately made all the scientific researchers in the monitoring center feel a chill all over their bodies.
Under this rhythm, the voice of the researcher who first discovered the unexpected signal was instantly buried.
Minister Licock stood there, feeling dizzy.
All off?
And instantly?
What happened?
All the soldiers who attacked died in an instant?
How is this possible!
Ten soldiers who acted in different areas died collectively. Even the dominant giant insects that those soldiers had encountered did not have such great power.
Distance is a hurdle that cannot be avoided. There may be many incredible things in this world, but there are always some basic laws to follow.
Instead of believing this, it is better to believe that there is some kind of power that instantly cut off the connection between the sensors carried by all the soldiers and the receiving center.
However, who has achieved this ability that is more inclined to the technological side?
Other human forces? Are there other cities that have developed faster in Internet technology than Blackwater City, which directly unlocked the server seal?
Or... bugs?
The target of the soldiers' attack mission this time is the Zerg, so it is easy to be linked to the Zerg at the first time.
Minister Licock immediately picked up an internal communicator and wanted to contact the military district to ask them to send someone to investigate this strange incident.
No matter which force it is, if they can achieve this ability, it is worthy of their attention and it is necessary to investigate.
They have not yet completed the Internet technology they have studied, but others have the ability to intercept their internal information communication?
However, the moment he took the communicator in his hand, Licock was stunned.
Ten teams acted in different directions and regions. Where were their specific accidents?
If there is no specific direction, the large group of people sent by the military district can only waste time like a headless fly.
In an instant, Minister Licock remembered the strange flash just now.
The abnormal situation that was not taken seriously at the time was likely replaced by the signal at that time.
The soldiers did not die at the same time, but they attacked separately after the signal was replaced, not giving their base time to react.
Is this an ambush of the insects on their humans?
How did they know that humans were going to send a team to capture their new sandworms?
Of course, this is not important. Low-level individual insects may not be intelligent, but it is not a secret among humans that the brain worms of insects have intelligence. Maybe the sandworms moving around are the bait they sent.
The current urgency is to investigate the reasons for the collective death of the soldiers or the collective interruption of information.
Start from the places where all the signals flashed? There must be some clues in the places where something happened.
"Call up the places where their signals flashed at that time, mark them on the map and send them to the military." Licock ordered instantly.
The voice in the corner sounded hesitantly, "Minister... Minister... I may have some special discoveries here."
When all the signals were cut off, the researcher really paid attention to the information he saw.
"I found a strange signal here." The researcher stood up in a somewhat chaotic voice.
Minister Leacock looked over immediately, "What?"
"An unexpected signal was sent to our receiver."
"Have you analyzed it?"
"It's the location. The information decoding method is exactly the same as what we use." The researcher was not idle when everyone was in chaos.
Minister Leacock's eyes lit up instantly, "Quickly call it out!"
The location information was projected on the big screen, which immediately caused a cry of surprise...
"...At the junction of the two teams' responsible areas?"
"Where did the signal come from?"
"How is it possible!? This is the first encrypted channel we activated!"
"Perhaps our soldiers found something wrong and wanted to notify us in other ways."
The signals they set up internally could not be easily interfered by outsiders, so the received signals must be those soldiers who found that their connection with the base was cut off and found ways to actively connect.
I don't know how those soldiers did it, but it is obvious... there is an elite soldier who has also studied information technology.
"This..." Some researchers were speechless for a while, and unspeakable horror rose in their hearts. In the wild without any scientific and technological foundation, they made a communicator that supports the use of Internet technology with their bare hands. Is this something a soldier can do?
"Don't worry." After seeing the specific location, Minister Licock gave another order, "Send this location to the military. Our soldiers are fighting alone. Be sure to initiate rescue as soon as possible!"
"But it may also be a trap." The researcher who first discovered this abnormal situation put forward his cautious opinion.
"Whether it is a trap or not, I believe that our soldiers found hope in despair." Licock's eyes were firm. To survive in this world, humans often need a little reckless courage.
"..."
As he spoke, a bright light flashed in Minister Licock's mind, and he finally opened the internal communication channel connecting to the military. "I am Minister Licock of Information, and I want your Marshal Weislin to answer the call."
"... Marshal, please send me a list of the soldiers who will be on the mission to capture sandworms this time."
"Hmm?" Weislin's tone was a little strange, but he did not refuse.
After notifying his subordinates to execute, he continued to ask the communicator: "Is there anything else, Minister?"
"Something big happened." Licock said in a heavy tone, "The life signals of the soldiers we attacked this time were all destroyed."
"What!" Weislin was shocked for a moment. Every large-scale loss of soldiers... especially the failure of a planned large-scale operation, was like cutting flesh from him.
"But according to our observations and speculations, the signals are more like being cut off and replaced, rather than the soldiers on the front line dying directly."
While speaking, Licock's eyes quickly swept across the list, and his eyes paused on a certain name, revealing a look of understanding.
'Bai Er! '
With him, it seemed to be somewhat reasonable.
At that time, in the ruins of the root server, this guy was also the main force to help repair those damaged servers.
"One of our soldiers discovered the enemy's conspiracy on the front line, and he also gave the address." Licock looked serious, "Marshal Weislin, whether it is based on rescuing our elite soldiers or discovering the enemy's abnormal technological strength, it is necessary for you to send troops to explore."
"This..." Weislin hesitated slightly.
"This is the will of our research institute." Licock's tone was rare and gave people some pressure, "I have submitted an application to the headquarters, please cooperate."
Weslin no longer talked nonsense and agreed, "Okay."
Hanging up the communicator, facing the puzzled eyes of his researchers, Minister Licock smiled at them, "There is a person I know among the soldiers who attacked this time, his name is Bai'e..."
In his mind, the incredibly reliable back who had traveled with him all the way appeared.
It was also him who decided the final victory in that desperate ancient ruins, and now facing the conspiracy of aliens, it is also him who provides the dawn of mankind to break through.
If the Internet technology they had just developed was just something that the bugs could play with, it would be a heavy blow to them who had just started over.
They had to find the core reason for the signal being cut off and study countermeasures, otherwise the Internet and many supporting information technologies they had worked so hard to restart would all be in vain.
What makes people despair is never the hardships, but the lack of a direction to work towards.
Humanity has been trapped in this dark age for too long, and must move forward in a big way to regain its former glory!
