Chapter 37 Schemes and Counter-Schemes
After arranging everything properly, Fang Senyan pondered. He estimated that his strength for this trip was still a bit weak. He then mobilized three gunners from the Gravel Horde unit led by Byrnes to assist him before preparing to depart. However, before leaving, Mogansha, that black brother, hurriedly arrived and climbed into the host's transport pouch, exasperated.
"Damn it, you can't think of going to reap the benefits alone."
Fang Senyan shrugged and smiled,
"Maybe going to die instead."
Mogansha chewed his gum nonchalantly.
"Hell, I swear in the name of the Tamu tree, ever since I met you, you've never suffered a loss, but I've lost a lot."
Fang Senyan rolled his eyes.
"Oh, I wasn't sure about Lieutenant Colonel Dundee's mission either, so I let you choose. Since you made the choice yourself, you can't blame me."
Mogansha fastened the host's two tentacles that served as seat belts while shaking his head.
"So this time I choose to go with you. Hey, I say, the host can only carry eight people, and we need to rescue people, plus the plot characters, there will be at least five, leaving only three seats, isn't that a bit few?"
Fang Senyan said lightly,
"I'm only afraid that there will be too many empty seats."
Fang Senyan's light words were enough to illustrate how unfavorable Jiao Shi's group's situation might be! During their conversation, the host had already taken off, escorted by two spore fliers towards the coordinates. The speed-enhanced host was only slightly slower than the spore fliers, and you couldn't feel the wind outside when sitting in its pouch. To avoid some unnecessary trouble, both the host and the spore fliers had climbed to the limit of their flying altitude.
Looking down at the planet from high altitude, you could see endless loess plains spreading towards the distant horizon. Only in some underground rifts were there gray or brown plant-like organisms. All mountains were winding hills of less than a kilometer, with little soil, piled up with lead-gray rocks with deep cracks. You could even see the domineering force of crustal movement forcibly pushing up the rock faults.
Mogansha looked at the magnificent scenery of the alien planet below and suddenly said,
"Didn't they say they could last for six hours? Why are you so pessimistic?"
Fang Senyan sighed.
"We have already witnessed extremely high war wisdom in the Blackthorn Brain Worm's magic juice, according to the original plot..."
Speaking of this, Fang Senyan glanced at Byrnes beside him, seeing him and the two sergeants closing their eyes to rest, obviously the space automatically shielded his words, and then continued:
"After the protagonist was trapped, the leader of the tough guy squad, Commander Reich, and Sergeant Tici, who secretly loved him, also sacrificed in this battle. Finally... the flamethrower bugs also drilled out of the ground, and the base's walls became completely useless. At the most critical moment, the remaining troops left here on the rescue ship sent by the headquarters. But this time, it's obviously not that simple. According to our current situation, it is very likely that the rescue ship sent by the headquarters will be late or not even arrive!"
Mogansha suddenly said,
"Is that also possible?"
Fang Senyan was silent for a while and said,
"Have you forgotten our mission... oh, no, is it my mission? To destroy at least one giant spore-ejecting anti-aircraft tower. According to the Blackthorn Brain Worm's magic juice, this thing is arranged by the 'queen' of all Zerg" - the Zerg's Blade Queen (similar to the human emperor) - and can pose a powerful threat to aircraft on outer space routes. When we entered the world, the spacecraft suffered a strong interception. After these days, obviously the Zerg's anti-aircraft power will be even more terrifyingly strengthened, so I said that it is not surprising that the rescue ship is late or even destroyed."
At this time, a spore flier suddenly began to flap its wings violently as a warning! Fang Senyan and the others parted the roots inside the host and looked outside, seeing a group of mutated explosive mosquitoes they had seen before opening their sharp gray-white bone wings and quickly gliding closer! A spore flier of the Blackthorn tribe greeted them, making a threatening cry. The group of mutated explosive mosquitoes immediately dispersed, circled for a while, and then left.
All the way, they could occasionally encounter the aerial early warning units of other Zerg tribes, but after discovering that Fang Senyan's host was just passing by, these Zerg tribes did not launch an attack. And the electronic map they bought earlier came in handy at this time. According to the surrounding terrain, the Whiskey base that needed assistance was ahead.
Obviously, because they wanted to mine Pandora crystal ore, this base was very helplessly built on a plain with no defenses. Fortunately, humans were naturally very good at defense. According to the markings on the electronic map, Whiskey Base had one hundred and thirteen machine gunners, eight
Steel bunker machine gun towers, plus six tanks, and seven air-to-air missile defense towers. Such military strength was enough to resist more than a thousand Zerg troops... of course, this was based on the premise that there were no flamethrower bugs coming.
Although the markings on the electronic map were still clear, on the loess plain ahead, it was flat and there was no sign of any human buildings. Continuing to fly forward, there actually appeared the Zerg's unique mucus carpet! Continuing to fly forward for a while, you could clearly see a new Zerg lair budding, with twenty or thirty raptors lazily趴on the ground beside it. At this Zerg sub-base, you could see broken steel, twisted walls and barracks, the wreckage of tanks and broken armor everywhere. The corpses were either eaten,
Or they had already turned into nutrients for the Zerg mucus carpet.
Those steel materials, after the hatching pool and other organs appeared, would be quickly dissolved, and then the elements inside would be provided to the hatching eggs to enhance their defense and attack power. Seeing this scene now, a chill surged in Mogansha's heart.
"Could it be that that Tulip has been sucked up by the brain worm? Calling us here is actually a trap of the brain worm?"
Fang Senyan shook his head.
"It doesn't seem like it. If my guess is correct, then never mind, this Zerg base's defense is empty, let's destroy it first. Although there is only one building being hatched, it represents a sub-base of the Zerg. Killing it should be able to get a lot of benefits from the human side."
Saying that, Fang Senyan controlled the host he was in to land. The twenty or thirty raptors below were simply not in Fang Senyan's eyes at this time. He was now very experienced in fighting the Zerg. After landing, he pressed the flamethrower and sprayed a burst of fire, and the two spore fliers above also swooped down to assist in the attack. Then Mogansha and the Byrnes team also scrambled to join the battlefield. At this time, according to the strength of this group of people, not to mention twenty or thirty raptors, even if there were ten times more, it would be no problem!
Three minutes later, this Zerg base that was still being hatched exploded into a sky full of blood plasma, and Fang Senyan and Mogansha also received the prompt "You destroyed a Zerg sub-base, Human Alliance reputation +4 points." But this kind of good thing can probably only be done once. The Zerg that built a sub-base here should be estimating that the enemy would not be able to come over in the short term, so the defense was so lax. If they wanted to continue building sub-bases here to mine Pandora crystal ore in the future, then the defense would definitely be very strict. If they juan tu, then they might have to face a crazy siege by hydralisk groups.
After the two finished their bad deeds, of course, they did not dare to stay. Once the lair of a sub-base died, the mother nest would have a very strong sense, and reinforcements should come in an instant.
After the group hurriedly boarded the host, they began to flee the scene of the crime. Mogansha looked at the coordinates reported by Tulip when she asked for help on the electronic map and said with some doubt,
"Their current location should be on the top of the mountain? If they are on the top of the mountain, then they are not afraid of the flamethrower bugs' burrowing raids, then it can be regarded as a wonderful move. This woman's previous announcement was for all contractors in this world, but I think even if there are other contractors in this world, I'm afraid they won't come to save her."
Fang Senyan disdainfully said,
"If they have sufficient troops, then there is no doubt that going to the top of the mountain is a good move, but after their hard battle, they can't even protect the lives of their team members! Going to the top of the mountain in such a weak situation, facing the crazy attacks from both the mutated explosive mosquitoes in the air and the Zerg sea on the ground, isn't that looking for death?"
Mogansha frowned.
"Then what is her purpose in deceiving us to go there?"
"Because they have not received the news of our death, so Tulip, this bitch, judged that we were not dead. Her situation when she sent out the distress signal was undoubtedly extremely dangerous, so that she despaired to the point of believing that no reinforcements could save her." Fang Senyan said lightly.
Mogansha's eyes suddenly became vicious.
"So, she wants to drag us down with her? That mountain should be an important defense area of the Zerg, this bitch, don't let me see her again!"
Fang Senyan looked at the plain that was rapidly passing below, with a hint of disdain in his expression:
"This woman should be dead now, I guess her head is most likely being digested in the stomach of some raptor. Hmph, she doesn't indicate the escape route and location, wouldn't I know it? You can't be too far away from this base, which can avoid the flamethrower bugs drilling out of the ground, and can also shield the aerial attacks, and can maximize the ability of contractors with defensive talents. Obviously, the nearby caves are their best choice!"
