To everyone's surprise, after more than a month, everything was normal at the ground base on the planet JNO.3...
The insect nest that had been wiped out by the nuclear fusion device had no movement except for the initial attack by a group of flying insects that retaliated against the Marines and the armored transport spacecraft who were on their way to the mission. , there is no trace of them on the map.
It seems...the bugs have completely disappeared?
So far, the ground base has more than 300 siege tanks with heavy fire support, hundreds of various combat vehicles, more than 3,000 Marines, a little girl who is a ghost agent and colonel, and 500 Wraith fighter aircraft. One plane.
Hmm... You read that right, there were only 500 aircraft planned originally, but now there is indeed an extra Anne!
There are countless machine gun fortresses for other ground defenses, more than 200 missile launch towers, and tens of thousands of various types of anti-aircraft missiles and ground-attack missiles in reserve, which is enough for a very large-scale and high-intensity battle with bugs.
Of course, the missile silo next to the base is also equipped with three produced tactical nuclear fusion intercontinental missiles on standby. As for whether they will be used, it is temporarily unknown.
In more than a month, two major events happened on the human side of the Hope that everyone deserves to talk about!
The first thing is: Over there in the asteroid belt, the five heavy battlecruisers at Base No. 2, the giant battleships that represent mankind's ultimate space force, finally came off the production line as scheduled amidst everyone's expectations!
This terrifying war weapon, this large heavy battleship, is a veritable flying fortress, with thick armor, energy shields and terrifying turret firepower of various sizes and calibers!
Especially the Yamato cannon in front of its bow. This cannon is a terrifying weapon that is enough to scare the enemy!
Its principle is generally to use a high-density magnetic field to explode the nucleus, concentrate it into a beam of energy and launch it...
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the cannon needs to reserve a huge amount of energy to fire, which depends on the energy supply of the giant reactor inside the battleship.
During combat, each Yamato cannon launch requires a long period of energy reserve and equipment cooling after launch. Compared with its astonishingly destructive effect on the target, its only shortcoming may be It's just that Lengren's regrettable launch speed.
But now, they were born to maintain the peace of the human side of the Hope and to bring destruction to the enemies of mankind!
Of course, they are still a long way from being able to truly enter the army's combat order and actually go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
After all, their crews are just a group of recruits who have been trained in a holographic simulation platform. They can barely operate the warships and launch weapons, so they are definitely not able to adapt to high-intensity battles.
Another thing that the Hope is concerned about is: the ghost agents, the two elite marines trained by Colonel Anne, have initially formed basic combat effectiveness after a month of real-life training and simulation training.
So far, the two Marines, who suddenly announced that they were renamed Demacia Team and Noxus Team, have been keeping a relatively low profile. Apart from seeing them training with their precious weapons on their backs all day long, It seems that no one has seen their actions?
However, according to insiders, it is said that the combat effectiveness of these twenty people is unexpectedly strong?
During the training in the simulation platform, twenty of them, it is said, were able to fight thousands of small bugs head-on without using rifles, just with their big swords and giant axes, and achieved zero casualties. Win?
And that's not all. It is said that with tacit cooperation, twenty of them were able to kill a terrifying giant mammoth-shaped insect in hand-to-hand combat without any heavy firepower support. ?
Of course, this is just a rumor. During this period, apart from seeing them being nervous carrying their cold weapons all day long, no one knew much.
And their daily training records, it is said, have been classified as high-level secrets of the Hope, and those with insufficient authority are prohibited from accessing them?
It is precisely because the other party is so mysterious that the entire Hope is paying attention to it, and except for a few big bosses, no more people seem to know about it.
And those who only know a little bit about it are becoming more and more mysterious as word of mouth spreads...
…
However, none of this has much to do with little Annie. If she knew that the Hope battleship was launched, might she really grab one?
However, she is not on the Hope or fooling around in the ground base now. Instead, she has accepted a foreign mission and is preparing to eliminate a group of people who have emerged from the earth's crust and dared to build an open-air insect nest on a resource-rich island. swarm of insects.
There are not many bugs in this group of bugs, and there are many bugs: whether they are bugs like puppies, hydralisks that shoot bone spurs, or flying dragon-shaped flying bugs, or even bugs like Like a giant brain, able to levitate a giant ball-shaped flying monster out of thin air?
There are many kinds of them, with clear division of labor. They are exploiting the resources on this island in an orderly manner and constantly building their kind of terrifying giant monster buildings.
Obviously, they are intelligent creatures with intelligence and a clear purpose!
Therefore, after the military satellite detected this situation, Doug and Captain Leona on the Hope quickly discussed a preliminary plan: to send their only ghost agent to perform the mission and eliminate this group of large numbers. There are tens of thousands of insect swarms and their nests that are still growing!
At first glance, this mission seems outrageous. A ghost destroying tens of thousands of bugs?
But this is not the case, because now there can be three long-range tactical fusion nuclear missiles in the base, and the ghost agent has the authority to order the launch and guidance of the missiles. In addition, Little Annie, the ghost agent, has another special She pretends to be a Wraith Fighter, so there is no one more suitable than her to carry out this mission!
The CF/A-17 Wraith fighter is not only an excellent air superiority fighter with high flight speed and range, it is also equipped with many anti-air missiles and ground-attack laser cannons. In addition, it The built-in concealment position of the main power palace is matched with the armor of the ghost agent that can also have the concealment function. In this way, except for Little Annie, the ghost agent, there is no more suitable candidate to carry out this mission. .
If it weren't for this insect nest that appeared above the ground for the first time, if it weren't for the fact that it was on the other side of the planet where the ground base was located and the insects seemed to have some kind of interference measures, and the base currently had too few nuclear bombs, to ensure nothing went wrong, And if ghost agents have to be sent, it is estimated that little Annie will not be needed to guide it to destroy it. Just the guidance of military satellites will be enough, right?
…
"Way? Base command center? I saw the base of those bugs! It's such a big area, there are so many bugs..."
At this moment, on a high mountain on this island, Little Annie turned on the invisibility function of her ghost suit's tight-fitting armor. She was lying on a big rock, observing the situation in the distance through her sight, and giving information to the ground base. Reporting.
Not far behind her, her special aircraft also turned on the stealth mode and was parked under a slightly hidden cliff. Whether it was flying insects in the distance or the kind of patrol passing by, Puppies can't be found easily.
"Okay, the base has received it! Colonel Anne, you are ready to guide the nuclear bomb. Your nuclear bomb launch authority has now been activated. Please open your own interface and follow the process!"
In the ground command center, a liaison officer who was responsible for following up on this matter followed the prescribed procedures after seeing the images from the ghost device and the confirmed position of the insect nest and ghost from the satellite being outside the safe range of the explosion. , officially linked the link between the ghost agent and the base's nuclear bomb silo.
Now, this eight-year-old ghost agent has officially become a being with a nuclear launch button in her hand.
"Eh? Nuclear bomb?! Just wait, I'll look for it first!"
Annie has long known what a nuclear bomb is. Whether she is blowing up the undead in the world of Azeroth, or in simulation games, she has used this thing a lot. It is very exciting when it hits!
"Nuclear bomb...nuclear bomb...where are you?"
Soon, little Annie was mumbling to herself while using her eyes to operate the holographic interface of the helmet.
After flipping through many holographic interfaces, she finally found the operation interface linked to the nuclear bomb silo next to the command center of the ground base.
"Wow! Tibbers, come on, come on, we're going to play with mushrooms again!"
After finally finding the control interface, little Annie quickly called her little bear in her soul connection.
Last time, he was blinded by the nuclear bomb she dropped in Silvermoon City before he could see it clearly. This time, with a ghost mask protecting her vision, she had to see it clearly.
It must be very enjoyable to throw those big fireworks yourself and wait for them to explode, right?
(Okay, I'm ready. Let's take a closer look. How powerful are the nuclear bombs in this world?
——Tibbers got excited after hearing that Master Annie was going to grow mushrooms for fun.
It seems to have already been considering: If these nuclear bombs are powerful enough, should it continue to encourage its little master to secretly get a few of them into the space backpack and use them as treasures at the bottom of the box? Or as a trump card? )
"Hmm...the instructions are the same as in the game, so I think I've learned how to use it!"
After looking at the instructions on the operation interface, which seemed to be almost the same as those she had done in the holographic game, little Annie impatiently skipped the instructions.
Then, the interface quickly jumped to the operation she was familiar with.
"Aha! I found it, it's right here!"
After cheering, little Annie quickly operated her weapon.
Under the muzzle of the 20 mm caliber, Flame Goddess I SS-01 specially made super-powerful electromagnetic sniper rifle, there is an embedded low-frequency laser guidance device. The low-frequency laser it emits is only Ghost agents can only see clearly with special eyepieces.
Therefore, when it is used to lock the target, except for the ghost agent himself, only the guided nuclear bomb can search for this low-frequency laser with a special frequency that is invisible to the naked eye and ordinary equipment.
"Tibbers...you tell me...where should we bomb?"
Looking at the huge and ferocious insect nest buildings in the distance, the things that seemed to be able to move made Anne very uncomfortable and wanted to blow them up with a nuclear bomb!
However, looking at the bugs on the other side, little Annie also wanted to blow them up!
Looking at them, there are so many of them and they are densely packed. It would be fun if they exploded among them, right?
(Hmm...Master Anne, do you see that biggest insect building over there? It's the red and purple one!
——Tibbers feels that the building that is the largest must have the best value!
Moreover, it is in the middle of the entire insect swarm base. If it explodes somewhere, whether it is the buildings or the insects scattered everywhere, it will definitely be affected!
Having played with such large fireworks in the world of Azeroth, of course he knows the approximate power of the explosion. Come to think of it, the nuclear bombs in this world are not that bad, right? )
"Huh? The biggest insect nest? Okay, then choose it!"
After looking at it carefully, little Annie nodded and agreed to Tibbers' suggestion.
Who made that building the biggest? Who put it in the middle of the bug base? Who made it so ugly that it was covered in tumors, cysts, fangs and claws, and looked fleshy and spicy?
So, she has decided now: choose it to explode!
After turning on the special frequency low-frequency laser at the muzzle of her electromagnetic rifle and firmly locking on the big meat ball, Little Annie quickly clicked the button to confirm the launch in her interface.
drop……
Permission check...
ghost agent,
Colonel Anne Hastur...
Permissions confirmed, the nuclear bomb has been launched...
Colonel Anne Hastur, please keep the low-frequency auroras locked, the missiles are coming...
Soon, after little Annie clicked on Annie who was launching, in less than half a second, a column of data flashed up in her holographic interface. The information above already showed that the nuclear bomb had been launched.
After Annie pressed the launch button, little Annie and Tibbers opened their eyes wide and eagerly waited for the upcoming big fireworks.
One minute……
Two minutes...
Well, three full minutes have passed and still nothing happened!
It’s been so hot for so long, little Annie is already very impatient! She felt that her hands were a little sore, but now, where was the promised nuclear bomb? Where are the big fireworks and big mushrooms we promised? Why hasn't it come yet?
In the simulation game, little Annie had played this kind of nuclear explosion many times!
Each time, as long as she pressed the launch confirmation button, usually within a minute. The big egg will smash down with a swish, and then with a rumble, a big mushroom emitting intense white light will rise from the ground!
But now? It’s been more than three minutes!
Could it be that... I didn't press it correctly just now?
Therefore, little Annie, thinking that she had failed to launch or pressed something wrong, quickly switched back to the launch interface and clicked the launch button again!
drop……
Permission check...
ghost agent,
Colonel Anne Hastur...
Permissions confirmed, the nuclear bomb has been launched...
Colonel Anne Hastur, please keep the low-frequency auroras locked, the missiles are coming...
"Well... now, it should be correct, right?"
After confirming that she had actually clicked the launch button this time, Little Annie finally nodded with satisfaction and once again used the low-frequency special laser on her weapon to lock on the target in the distance, gradually calming down her impatience. Start waiting patiently.
One minute……
Two minutes...
However, another five minutes passed and nothing happened...
"Tibbers! Is this thing broken? Why haven't the missiles come yet?"
(...I'm sorry, little master, I don't know either. - Tibbers himself is still wondering, why has it been several minutes since the promised big fireworks have arrived? Could it be that it really is? broken?)
In frustration, little Annie opened the operation interface again and pressed the launch button wildly.

ghost agent,
Colonel Anne Hastur...

…
After the furious Little Annie pressed the launch button at least a dozen times, Little Annie stopped in anger. Now she was very angry! Very angry!
Originally she was looking forward to it, but who would have thought that those junk things would fall apart at the critical moment?
She pressed it so many times, but not a single missile came? It’s been almost ten minutes!
"Hello? Colonel Anne?! Why did you launch so many nuclear bombs just now? Is there something wrong? Hello? Hello!"
Finally, when little Annie was sulking alone, she remembered the anxious call of the communications officer on her channel.
Just now, he was responsible for keeping an eye on little Annie's operation. Originally, everything was fine. Under his instructions, the little girl ghost agent successfully launched the first nuclear bomb.
From the window, he saw the nuclear bomb silo rising into the sky outside the base and the nuclear bomb flying rapidly into the air. He nodded with satisfaction. The ghost agent's operation was in compliance with the regulations.
Now, the intercontinental nuclear missile has been launched. In ten minutes, it should be able to cross half of the JNO.3 planet. By then, the large-yield tactical fusion warhead should be able to smooth out the insect's ground base. Bar?
Then, with nothing to do, he quickly took advantage of this opportunity to run to the back of the command room and brought over a glass of energy drink, intending to drink it comfortably while waiting for the big mushroom cloud that was about to light up.
However, what he never expected was that he had just brought the drink over and before his butt touched the seat, the nuclear bomb silo outside suddenly launched a second nuclear bomb with a swish. Intercontinental nuclear missile?
After that, he was just stunned, thinking that the ghost agent felt that one nuclear bomb was not safe, so he directly launched two nuclear bombs, so he did not delve into it further.
This act of launching two nuclear bombs at once to hit one target cannot be said to be wrong.
Because the bug's base is obviously an important strategic target, then, as a ghost agent, Colonel Anne has full authority to decide whether to launch one or two bombs. This kind of insurance method is very important to him as a communications liaison officer. From the official’s perspective, it still complies with regulations.
But……
Five minutes later, when the nuclear bomb silo outside the base once again launched the last intercontinental nuclear missile, and when he saw a series of messages requesting the launch of nuclear bombs on the interface, he was as slow as he was. , and finally discovered that things didn't seem to be what he thought?
Therefore, when the matter was urgent, he hurriedly called the ghost agent who was still lying on the spot in the interface. He wanted to know, that little girl, why did she just do that?
"Hmph! Your nuclear bombs are fake! It's been so long, but they haven't come yet!"
This person actually dared to question himself. Of course little Annie had to beat him up first!
Nuclear bombs and all that stuff are all fake!
I pressed the hot button so many times and waited for such a long time, but no one came. It must be a fake!
"Oh... damn UPL..."
The communications officer, who finally knew the reason, couldn't help but curse.
"Colonel Anne! It takes at least fifteen minutes of flight time to launch a nuclear bomb! Now, you immediately re-lock the target you want to bomb! Hurry! You still have two minutes! The first nuclear bomb is about to arrive! hurry up!!!"
Then, he began to yell loudly in the command room regardless of his appearance, causing other staff members and Commander Doug to look at him.
"what happened?"
Doug came over confused.
She didn't pay attention to what was going on outside the window just now because the soundproofing here was pretty good. Without looking outside, she didn't know that Little Annie had launched all three nuclear bombs in one go.
The other officers who saw this abnormal situation obviously had no right to intervene in the matter.
"Hurry! Colonel Anne, lock your target immediately! Now! Hurry!!!"
Even though the command officer came over, he, the communications officer, still shouted loudly in the communications regardless.
Now that it was too urgent, how could he care about the commander behind him?
The reason why he is like this now is because he found that little girl casually throwing her weapon aside?
What's even more terrible is: the low-frequency laser of that weapon is pointed right at her own feet?
So, can he not be extremely nervous? !
"Huh? It turns out to be Jiang Zi's..."
When little Annie heard this, she scratched her head in embarrassment.
Realizing that she seemed to have misunderstood something, she picked up the weapon she had thrown on the ground again, and once again pointed the invisible low-frequency laser at the target she had originally decided on...
