Rumble...
In the battle channel, Planck's harsh warning had just ended. When his spacecraft pulled up the joystick and had not flown very high, suddenly, the man he threw into the sloping cave of the extra-large incendiary bomb , there were sudden bursts of dull explosions, and the ground near the entire ground base seemed to begin to shake slightly.
Then, terrifying angry flames hundreds of meters high spewed out directly from the entrance of the huge sloping cave. They even directly reflected the dark night sky of the planet red...
Fortunately, the huge combustion tank has rolled to a sufficient depth below the ground with its huge kinetic energy; also fortunately, it is only an extra-large solid-liquid mixed incendiary bomb for the purpose of burning, rather than giving priority to explosion. of explosive bombs.
Therefore, when it explodes at a sufficient underground depth, apart from causing the surface of the ground base to vibrate slightly like an earthquake and emitting bursts of shock waves and seismic waves, it will not cause much damage to the steel buildings in the base. Influence.
Flames, countless terrifying flames, except for most of them roaring underground that humans can't see, are burning and spreading crazily in the underground cave that doesn't know how deep and long it is, sweeping away countless insects, and bursts of insects are coming from it. The screams and screams of being burned by flames.
In addition, a considerable part of the flames and fuel spurted out directly from the cave collapse exit as a vent, just like a huge volcanic eruption, sending the fiercely burning fuel like magma, slanting After spraying out into the sky, they flew down one after another covering the entire battlefield in Area C.
Since the JNO.3 planet itself has oxygen, and the extra-large incendiary bomb is made from a mixture of special fuel and accelerants, it can burn in an oxygen-free environment. Therefore, at this moment, it exploded After it burns, it itself has terrifying power, and with the oxygen in the planet's atmospheric environment assisting the combustion, it burns extremely hot!
"Wow, what a big firework..."
Little Annie, who was putting away the tank bracket and preparing to switch to push mode, was a little surprised when she saw the explosion and burning scene on the airborne screen.
Although the temperature of this level of flame is not too high and the power is not too great, it is much worse than her magic flame. However, after all, it is something produced by human beings using technology. As long as the output can keep up, then there will be as much as you need. It will be much cheaper than her struggling to throw magic by herself!
If Annie were to use her own magic power, if she wanted to burn out the tens of thousands of bugs in the cave, she would have to use at least half of her own magic power, right?
"Everyone, be careful! The flames are about to fall, be careful to avoid them!"
When the other Marines stood up one after another, or looked up at the big fireworks in the sky, or stared dumbfoundedly at the hole in the distance that was still spouting flames, a scream suddenly roared on the channel.
It was only then that they discovered to their horror that the objects in the fire's flames that shot out into the air were not just burning rock fragments or insect corpses, but also mixed with a considerable amount of... Large and small lumps of solid-liquid mixture of burning agent?
So, of course, after they flew up to high altitudes and exhausted their kinetic energy, the flames fell down one after another with the sticky, terrible burning fuel, like a huge rain of fire, instantly covering the front of the cave entrance. , the battlefield of several hundred meters or so in the fan-shaped direction was all covered by the fire field...
"ah?!"
"Ah! Help!"
"Damn, my armor is on fire too!!"
"No! My armor is going to be overloaded, someone help me!!!"
At this time, some Marines who were in the direction of the injection at the entrance of the cave and had no time to dodge were contaminated by the sporadic viscous fuel that sprayed out and fell down, and then they began to stop The ground screamed.
Although, the Marine Corps' standard armored power combat uniforms they wore had a certain degree of high-temperature protection, and they had not suffered any damage while in the armor.
However, they still screamed and ran around, or fell to the ground and rolled over. For a moment, the scattered flames made the entire Marine Corps defense line become chaotic.
There were still some people who were smart, so they turned around and ran quickly towards the base, covered in flames, as if they wanted the fire extinguishing device in the base to help them?
And those who screamed and ran or rolled on the spot would end up not so good. No matter how hard they tried, the flames could not be extinguished. Instead, the sticky and terrifying incendiary quickly spread to their bodies, instantly It turned into a huge burning man...
Their companions, on the other hand, were following them helplessly, as if they wanted to step forward to help, but they didn't know what to do.
And those who dared to muster up the courage and tried to step forward to pull, the flames on the opponent's body soon spread to their arms. No matter how hard they shook the mechanical arm of the power suit, they could not extinguish the flames. slightest.
"Damn UPL...this flame is a little too crazy, isn't it?"
Galen watched with lingering fear as a large ball of viscous burning agent fell on a rock and began to burn violently. He took several steps back in fear.
Sure enough, before, the humans on their earth and the damn UPL earth coalition government were able to slowly colonize the universe and had a faint tendency to become the overlord of one side. It was by no means unreasonable...
All this before us is the power of human knowledge and wisdom! This is the reason why humans can colonize the universe!
No matter how many bugs there are, no matter how terrifying their fangs and claws are, with human wisdom and technology, there are endless kinds of war weapons, and you can never fight just by relying on the body's instincts. What the bugs can resist!
Now look, what if there are more of them? After the humans on the Hope slowly developed, weren't they solved with a large incendiary bomb?
"Oh... this should be over, right?"
Another miserable night...
When the aftermath of the incendiary bomb explosion ended and there were no more falling embers in the sky, Galen relaxed a little. Looking at the sky and earth reflected red by the flames, he couldn't help but sigh.
If this extra large incendiary bomb was not thrown directly into the cave, but accidentally fell outside the cave, I am afraid that all the Marines present would have been burned into red iron lumps by these terrifying flames. Bar?
Looking at the puddles of flames still burning fiercely on the ground around him, as well as the insect entities crackling under the flames, Galen finally slowly lowered the muzzle of his gun.
No wonder, no wonder the old bastard Plank just warned them to hide in time. If they were still exposed in the direction of the cave entrance, I'm afraid many of them would be like those unlucky ones running around, right?
"Attention Marines who are on fire! Anyone who is on fire should immediately run to the edge of Area C and Area B at full speed. The SCV engineering vehicles have prepared effective fire-extinguishing equipment! Those flames will not be destroyed by normal fire. If your means are extinguished, don’t waste your time anymore!”
"Repeat it again! Attention all Marines who are on fire! Move to Area C at full speed immediately..."
At this time, Commander Doug's stern voice sounded once again in the channels of all the Marines.
She knows very well that this kind of burning agent cannot be extinguished by ordinary water or rolling on the spot, even if it is covered with sand and gravel to isolate the planet's atmosphere!
Because these combustion agents themselves have combustion accelerants and active metals, coupled with their own viscous characteristics, they can adhere to any object and burn. Once they are messed up, the combustion agents can only be allowed to burn on them. It continues to spread all over my body until it is completely burned out!
If the correct method is not used to extinguish the fire early, even the armored power suit will be destroyed by the high-temperature flames by then, right?
Even if it won't be burned, the occupants inside will definitely be slowly roasted into a pile of cooked meat by the excessive temperature!
After all, even if the CMC-300/400 armored power combat suit itself is designed to withstand the harsh environment, it can temporarily move freely in some fire scenes, but after all, there is an upper limit!
Whether the temperature is too low or too high, it will exceed their own adjustment upper limit. When its own adjustment mechanism is overloaded, it will cause serious damage to the Marines inside!
"Hey! Galen, now we have nothing to do with you, right?"
Looking at the terrifying fire scene that was still burning on the opposite side and would not stop for a short time, Darius said something to Galen next to him and threw away the rifle in his hand that had run out of bullets. Then he randomly found a stone that was not burned by the flames and sat down on it.
His armor and his own weight instantly caused the stone to crack.
To be honest, although this battle did not last too long, the short and fierce exchange of fire at high intensity still exhausted him.
In that kind of battle that requires a high degree of concentration, even two or three rifles were shot red by him, which consumes a huge amount of physical and mental energy!
In addition, before, his Viper team was still on duty at night and was already exhausted. Now, after finally being able to relax, he felt waves of fatigue creeping into his heart.
Later, after he is sure that he is safe, he must return to the barracks as soon as possible, take off this heavy armor, and then take a deep sleep!
"It should be over, right? Look at these fires. It is estimated that they will burn for at least an hour or two..."
call!
After heaving a sigh of relief, Galen followed Darius' example, walked over, found a place to sit down, and turned off the safety of his electromagnetic rifle before carefully placing it next to him.
Being woken up in the middle of the night and participating in such a high-intensity battle, he himself felt exhausted!
Although wearing a power combat suit can save a lot of energy and standing in it is not very strenuous, it is still much more comfortable if you sit down than standing.
"By the way, Darius, tell me, can they eat the meat of these insects?"
The two of them sat while looking at the huge fire scene caused by incendiary agents in front of them.
When the corpses of the bugs were contaminated with the incendiary agent and given some heat, with the trace amount of oxygen in the planet and the biological oils in the corpses of the bugs, after being roasted at high temperatures, the pile of corpses of the bugs began to gradually It burned and emitted bursts of black smoke.
"..."
From time to time, the bugs would be burned and crackle.
Galen even saw an insect that was relatively close. Its shattered flesh was sizzling and trembling after being burned by the fire, and fat-like liquid was leaking out from time to time. When these After the liquid came into contact with the flame, it further fueled the fire, which in turn continued to roast the insect flesh.
Then, looking at the white meat that was gradually turning brown, Galen felt that his throat was twitching all the time, and he swallowed his saliva. This was the instinctive reaction of humans after seeing food.
"It shouldn't be possible, right? Their body fluids are highly acidic. Strong acid is extremely poisonous to us humans!"
Just looking at such a ferocious monster is off-putting, so how could you still eat it?
Although he said that, Darius felt that if there were not those highly toxic acid vapors in the air of this planet, he would really like to take off his helmet and take a good smell of these large-scale barbecues in front of him. The taste must be very fragrant, right?
"What's wrong?"
Darius was about to continue saying something when he saw Galen suddenly stand up, and then he turned his head to look in the direction he was looking at in confusion.
Over there, there was a Marine whose whole body was on fire, flopping and rolling around, and around the opponent, there were several United Front members who were helpless surrounding the opponent.
They seemed to want to step forward to help, but they were a little afraid of the flames on each other's bodies, so for a while, they were in a stalemate.
"Forget it, Galen, it's useless, leave it to the SCV engineering vehicles to deal with it."
Seeing that idiot's look, Darius shook his head helplessly.
The Marine's fully enclosed armored power suit has the ability to withstand a certain degree of high temperature. Now, looking at the opponent who still has the strength to make a fuss, he probably hasn't been burned inside yet, right?
Tsk!
That idiot, he must have been frightened by the fire all over his body, right?
Wouldn't he calm down and run as fast as possible to the edge of Area C and Area B that Commander Doug said before the high temperature reached the inside?
What's the use of him flopping on the spot like this? No one else can help him even if they want to! Didn't you see that there were several people nearby who wanted to help him, but instead they were all broken away by him and set on fire?
"Forget it, let me help him!"
After saying that, Darius shook his head and smiled, and then used his authority to directly connect to the channels of the SCV engineering vehicles at the base.
"Are there any engineers in Areas C and B with nothing to do? Over here, there is a fool whose whole body is on fire, and he is having fun! You'd better send someone to help him right away, otherwise , Later, an iron-armored grilled human meat will be freshly baked!"
After saying that, Darius marked the signal location of the idiot who was on fire on the map, and then turned off the communication.
He felt that the quality of these newcomers was simply getting worse and worse!
I don’t know if the next batch of soldiers selected and recruited by the Hope using that gaming platform will be like these bastards?
I hope... not?
"Okay, you're right, let's do this for now."
After seeing Darius summoning the SCV engineer and seeing that there was indeed an SCV gliding over at high speed with a fire extinguishing device at the junction of Area C and Area B, Galen nodded and sat down again.
Since there are professional fire extinguishers coming to deal with it, it is better for him not to cause trouble for others. It is also a good choice to seize the time and take a good rest.
quack! !
There was a harsh sound of the tank braking and the tracks rubbing against the ground. Then, a red-painted heavy siege tank slid over at high speed. Behind it, it brought up a trail of dust and thick smoke mixed together. It stopped narrowly in front of the Marine who was thrashing hard and his whole body was on fire.
Originally, little Annie planned to control the tank and rush directly to the fire scene, or to have a chat with Galen and Darius.
However, when it passed the Marine who was on fire and rolling on the ground, she didn't know what she was thinking. Anne suddenly steered the tank into a sharp turn and braked to a stop beside the opponent.
Bang!
After the huge siege tank in assault mode came to a stop, the thick metal hatch on the top of its turret was suddenly opened from the inside. Then, to the surprise of the surrounding marines, people climbed out from the inside. What came out was a little girl?
"Whoa! Are you playing with fire? Be careful you may wet the bed at night!"
A little girl's voice, as clear as an oriole, sounded directly on the channels of the surrounding Marines.
Then, when little Annie quickly jumped up from the tank using the roof cabin, she took two brisk steps and sat directly on one of the huge gun barrels of her new vehicle.
She just swung her legs condescendingly, tilted her head, and looked at the big Marine on the ground, who was still rolling and thrashing, his whole body covered in terrifying flames.
"..."
The surrounding Marines did not pay much attention to the little girl who came to join in the fun.
They either continued to circle helplessly around their companion who was still on fire, or they looked at this strange little girl driving a tank and wearing a ghost suit with some curiosity.
Look at the military rank on her chest, it seems to be a major? So, it must be the ghost in the rumors, right?
Although most of them have heard about Little Annie's achievements and know that there is a very powerful ghost agent in the battle sequence of the Hope, they have only seen the opponent's appearance in the documents. , now, this is the first time they have met face to face.
"Help! Ah! It's starting to get hot!"
"Ah! It's so hot, so hot! Someone help me, ah! It's burning me to death!"
At this time, the idiot who was flapping around finally knew how to speak.
After such a long period of fluttering, his armor's heat resistance has reached its limit.
Now, after the equipment was overloaded, the high temperature finally gradually penetrated into his armor, directly making him feel the painful and burning sensation of the fire, and even some fragile parts were almost cooked?
Then, he screamed and continued to roll and flop with feces and urine flowing out.
In fact, he brought this upon himself!
If at the beginning, he calmed down immediately, did not make a fuss or flutter, but ran at full speed to the area planned by Commander Doug, the fires on his body would have been extinguished long ago. Wait until now?
"Oh... So you're not playing with fire? Then..."
After seeing the other party's reaction and the piercing scream, little Annie almost laughed out loud.
(Master Anne, this unlucky guy’s little penis is almost cooked, aren’t you ready to take action? - Seeing that little Anne still looked hesitant, Tibbs sighed helplessly. Tone, it feels that playing around should be stopped, right? Now, grill it to medium rare, so-so is almost enough...)
"Shut up! Tibbers, I didn't set this fire!"
Then, after tilting her head and thinking for a while, she suddenly stretched out a thin finger still wearing tight-fitting armor, pointing directly at the opponent's body.
The next moment, something happened that stunned everyone!
The terrifying flames and incendiary agents that had almost burned the Marine into a human-shaped fireball seemed to be alive. After the little girl stretched out her fingers, they left the Marine's body one after another. , suddenly flew to the fingertips of the little girl sitting on the barrel, and gathered together to form a fiercely burning fireball?
"..."
"this……"
"What is this?"
Is this what is called superpower? Or is it psionic energy? Damn UPL, is this still human power? This is so unscientific...
At this time, all the nearby Marines, as well as the SCV engineer who hurriedly rushed over with fire extinguishing equipment, all looked up in surprise and looked at the man with his legs dangling, sitting playfully. On the barrel, like a basketball, a little girl was playing with the fireball with her fingertips.
"Sir! Next time, if you can handle something like this yourself, don't call us again!"
After a while, the SCV engineer who had made a futile trip looked at the Marines lying on the ground groaning and puffing out white smoke, and then took another look at the Marines sitting on the gun barrel playing with fireballs. After that, the little girl could only mumble angrily.
Regardless of her military rank or status, this little girl is something that a little engineer like him cannot afford!
Therefore, he could only swallow the unpleasant words he was about to curse out loud, and after casually saying some resentful words, he turned around and took his fire-extinguishing equipment with him and returned to Area B in despair.
There are many buildings in Area B that have been affected by the fire just now. Although steel buildings are not very afraid of burning, for the sake of safety, they had better go there quickly and extinguish the flames.
"Is this the kind of magic she always talks about? This is really cool!"
Darius and the two people sitting far away, of course, also saw every move of little Annie, and then Darius began to say in amazement.
"Galen, I have decided now: I will follow in the footsteps of little Annie, respond to her great call, and let her enchant me with the so-called battle ax she said. I will become a strong continent that can fight in close combat. A member of the Marine Corps! Oh, no! Should be the future general of the Marine Corps!"
After squinting and looking at little Annie in the distance for a while, Darius finally made up his mind.
Tonight's battle made him feel that his rifle was no longer able to protect him.
Once those bugs get close, it is obviously impossible to protect yourself with the short bayonet on the front of the rifle!
In this case, if little Annie can really get herself the magic weapon she talked about, then it would actually be okay for him to practice some melee combat skills and change the name of his marine team. Isn't that unacceptable?
"Are you sure you're not kidding?"
Galen was a little surprised, and he couldn't understand Darius's sudden idea.
Before this, it seemed that he was quite resistant, right? Now, have you fallen under the magical temptation of little Annie so quickly?
"Of course not! Galen, you have to know that we will continue to stay on this planet and fight these bugs for a long time. If we can have another method of close combat, maybe our lives will be saved. Will there be an extra level of protection?”
Darius said, pointing to the corpses of four-legged ferocious insects rushing to the side.
Around their corpses, there were also scattered corpses of many Marines bleeding red blood.
At that time, when the battle situation was urgent, these bugs rushed to the side of the Marines, and their armored power suits and the short bayonets on the muzzles of the electromagnetic rifles were caught by the bugs' claws. Their personal safety cannot be effectively guaranteed.
Therefore, this further strengthened Darius's choice. If there was really another reliable method of close combat, for the sake of his own life, he would definitely try his best to fight for it.
"Okay... Then, when the time comes, count me in!"
Looking at the miserable corpses of his companions around him, Galen's eyes dimmed.
In tonight's fierce battle, his Cobra team has lost three veterans. At this time, on his captain's panel, there are only six members left with the life signal still displayed.
Although, at the latest tomorrow afternoon, new players will be reported and added to his team sequence, but he can still feel a little sad.
But this is a war after all, so how can it not kill people?
"..."
"Hey! Little Annie, is that that magical magic you are using now? Can you control flames?"
After negotiating with Galen, Darius began to smile, opened the communication with Anne, and asked.
As for Little Annie's ability to release terrifying fireballs...well, it's magic. They have seen it before, and the huge skeleton lying on the beach now is her masterpiece.
However, this was the first time they had seen the other party being able to control flames at will! It must be one of the opponent's magical abilities, right?
"I didn't use magic!"
Although using magic is no more difficult for little Annie than breathing, she really doesn't use magic now.
"Because, flame, it is my favorite toy!"
Regarding manipulating flames, Anne said: You don’t need to do it yourself at all, you can deliberately use magic!
Because the flame will move according to her own wishes, she can control it however she likes without consuming any of her own magic power.
After saying that, Little Annie waved her hand, causing the fireball on her finger to hit a seemingly flat ground in the distance. Then, soon, the loose ground began to tremble, and then violently A snake-like monster insect that was on fire and screaming and hissing jumped out of the ground.
"What?! There are bugs?"
"So people, be careful! Stay alert! Watch out for the loose ground! Those snake-like bugs, they will burrow into the ground and hide in it!"
After seeing little Annie's movements and the snake-like insect that shot out bone spurs that jumped out of the ground, Galen and Darius couldn't help but stay for a while.
Then, they quickly reacted, grabbed the electromagnetic rifle that had been thrown to the ground by the two of them, stood up and shouted loudly in the Marines' channel.
Click! Click!
The sound of two electromagnetic rifles being loaded sounded, and Galen and Darius grasped the weapons in their hands at the same time.
"Pick up your weapons, hurry up! Get ready to fight!"
During the battle, those snake-like insect monsters that can shoot terrifying and dense bone spurs from a long distance actually go directly underground to avoid danger?
So, how many of these monsters are still lurking on the battlefield now?
"..."
After hearing the order and seeing the bug jumping out of the ground, all the marines had to become nervous again.
Each one of them held a gun and found a position to be on guard. They were ready to stare at the loose ground near and far that seemed to be hiding insects.
Because no one knows whether those bugs will suddenly jump out? Then, will those terrifying bone spurs fly towards them in the next moment?
There is no need to wait for the post-war statistics. They all know now that in tonight's battle, the casualties of the Marines suffering from those terrible bone spurs accounted for at least more than half of the total casualties, right?
At the beginning, they were caught off guard, and many of their companions fell like wheat, one after another, on top of that terrible poisonous biological weapon. And if, under this land , if there are still many snake-like monsters hidden, how on earth are they going to clean up this area?
"Attention everyone, stay vigilant on the periphery and do not enter Area C for the time being..."
