Chapter 148 Ambush

The Massacre War Chariot was originally parked at the location where the planet-destroying cannon had been fired, about ten meters away from the branch nest. The chariot could easily enter the passage opened by the planet-destroying cannon with a short drive forward.

But just as the chariot fully entered the branch nest, Li Chenzhou was about to continue forward when he suddenly noticed on the screen that the passage behind the chariot, originally blasted open by the planet-destroying cannon, had instantly closed.

At the same time, the entire passage opened by the planet-destroying cannon quickly recovered. Then, the space where Li Chenzhou was located instantly transformed into a not-so-large space.

This was the ability of the branch nest. It was living metal that could change at will, even into something like a human house. However, because the Devourers' main nest had this appearance and the Devourers were used to it, the branch nest remained a round shape.

"They want to close the door and beat the... bah! They want to cut off our retreat and leave us all here?"

A cold smile appeared on Li Chenzhou's face.

"The surrounding space suddenly changed. Squad 15 is separated, currently six people! Coordinates 132.65!"

"Squad 12 is separated, currently three people! Coordinates 65.176!"

"Squad 67 is separated, currently nine people! Coordinates 98.65!"

"Squad 72 is separated, currently twenty-one people! Coordinates 154.91!"

"Squad 89 is separated..."

At the same time, reports kept coming from the three thousand warriors on the communicator. They were advancing in the branch nest, clearing out the Devourers they saw, only to find that the branch nest suddenly changed, and the passages in front of and behind them suddenly closed, sealing them in small spaces.

When Li Chenzhou trained them, he emphasized that in battle, if you see something unusual, you must report it immediately, because the commander directing the battle must fully understand the situation on the battlefield, and any unusual factors may change his decisions.

Therefore, these warriors immediately began to report their positions and the number of people with them.

Li Chenzhou immediately switched the wall directly in front of the living room to the warrior position display screen. Because all the warriors were wearing individual combat support devices, Li Chenzhou was able to grasp their precise locations.

The soldiers could also see the locations of their nearby comrades, but because the individual combat support device was only the size of a wristwatch, the range they saw was small.

Of course, they could also switch this screen to a projection, but in battle, this would greatly affect them.

"Attention everyone, this Devourer stronghold is using a special material that can change its shape!"

Looking at the positions of the warriors, Li Chenzhou said into the communicator:

"However, it can only change shape, it cannot change your positions. So, you are all still in your previous positions. It is just using its ability to separate you!

Now you are trapped in small spaces, but it's not bad, you haven't forgotten my words. So far, none of us have been trapped alone. The smallest is a group of three!

Be careful, the Devourers are likely to adopt a strategy of defeating you one by one, concentrating a large number of troops to attack you space by space. Moreover, they may appear from any direction!

In addition, although this stronghold's structure can change shape, its sturdiness should not be good. Everyone, contact your nearby groups and try to attack the walls, but be careful not to injure each other!"

Because he could see the positions of all the warriors, although he couldn't see the full picture of the entire branch nest, Li Chenzhou could deduce their current situation.

The warriors were originally scattered when they broke into the branch nest, so after being separated, they were now like being trapped in a huge Rubik's Cube, with each small cube trapping a different number of warriors.

Originally, at the moment the change occurred, the warriors quickly made adjustments. Even in a space with only three people, the three immediately stood back-to-back in a triangular formation, guarding against emerging enemies.

And now, hearing Li Chenzhou's words, the auxiliary warriors in each small space immediately looked at their individual combat support devices, and at the same time, immediately contacted nearby comrades, confirmed their positions, and immediately issued commands.

The other warriors immediately opened fire according to the auxiliary warriors' orders, shooting at the walls!

That's right, in a group, in addition to being good at both offense and defense, auxiliary warriors also need to conduct tactical command, so that the defensive warriors can focus on defense and the main offensive warriors can focus on attack!

Therefore, in each group, the position of auxiliary warrior is often held by the most outstanding person, who is also the captain!

Instantly, the branch nest became lively again. Because they had individual combat support devices, the warriors could confirm the positions of their comrades around them without worrying about injuring each other, so they could fire without restraint!

The living metal used to create the branch nest was not very strong, so under the warriors' attacks, walls were quickly broken down, and some neighboring warriors could even see their comrades!

Just when the warriors thought they had solved the current predicament, Li Chenzhou, who had been staring at the screen, suddenly frowned.

Because he found that several warriors had suddenly changed their positions, and were far away from their previous positions, as far as thirty or forty meters.

This was clearly not their own movement, but a forced relocation!

At this moment, the voice of a warrior sounded again in the communicator:

"Coordinates 176.76! One person suddenly disappeared from our location! Not captured!"

"Coordinates 123.98! The same thing happened here! Didn't see how they disappeared!"

"Coordinates 76.87! One person disappeared here too!"

"..."

Li Chenzhou looked at it. The number of missing people reported was exactly the same as what he saw. Moreover, they all disappeared suddenly during the battle. Even the people next to them didn't notice how they disappeared!

Moreover, these people were basically auxiliary warriors, because they were at the back of the team. Their teammates were attacking according to their commands, and suddenly felt that there was no sound behind them. When they looked back, they found that the person was gone!

But there were no enemies behind them, and they couldn't see the bodies of the missing comrades! So none of the warriors were sure how their comrades disappeared!

However, Li Chenzhou could see here that the missing people were all concentrated together, but there was a little distance between them, about less than two meters.

"Light teleportation!"

Li Chenzhou looked solemn. Although this Devourer stronghold could only change shape, it could not move the warriors inside. However, he forgot that the Devourers also had the ability of light teleportation. With this ability, the Devourers could completely disperse all the warriors and then capture them one by one...
