Fifty naval men, huddled together like a flock of free-range ducks, approached the gates of the colony. [Read the full text] The two chariots were driving at random speeds around the perimeter - anyone who didn't know the truth would probably be surprised to see a large group of Star Alliance soldiers marching in such a haphazard manner. But... Annie thought that the sand devils under her feet, which could only be detected through vibrations, would not feel abnormal - Annie and the others were imitating the state of the colonists when they came in and out.
Annie's fingers flew forward and she passed on all the information she could think of about the Sand Demon Insect. With advance warning, the intelligence sent by Anne did not cause greater panic. However, because of this, I feel scared and the soles of my feet feel weak...this is normal.
The pace of the advance team did not stop. And as they advanced, the team was divided into five teams, each with eight to ten people, each led by two veteran team members. Lin Zhuxue seized the time to report the emergency situation to the "Guandu" and formulate a response plan. The frigate is currently on the other side of the planet and will arrive in five minutes...; Captain Leona is analyzing the building distribution of the colony. Although this layout may not be the latest, she still tries her best to harden the ground as best as possible. All parts are marked; Annie is walking in the middle of the team with her eyes closed, trying her best to monitor the movements of the sand devils...
At this time, from Lin Zhuxue's position, he could already see the building with a full steel frame structure standing in the center of the colony. That is the communication center of the colony, with a target bulletproof bunker design and an all-steel frame structure. It will be the best frigate reception location!
God bless the sand devil, it's not smart enough to understand human language - it doesn't even matter when we discuss our plans. Lin Zhuxue thought happily in pain. But when I think of the huge size of the bug that Anne described, it is comparable to a cruiser! Lin Zhuxue couldn't help but shudder.
The advance team, who had returned to their normal state, truly showed their true colors as elites at this moment. Even the new recruits were not controlled by fear at this time. They obeyed orders and obeyed the command. The performance is remarkable.
At this time, the team was only fifty meters away from the colonial wall, and everyone was in a mood of anxiety and joy. Let the entire team turn into an oblate shape. Everyone is observing the surroundings carefully and comparing them with the drawings sent to them. Find the best running route for a while - in the last fifty meters, every meter closer can increase the probability of survival by one percent!
Walking on the head of an unknown monster will be an unforgettable thrill...
Annie and Lin Zhuxue put down their headphones together and looked at each other silently without speaking. According to Annie's description, the sand devil is actually far from that simple - it has a powerful biological shield and anti-attack capabilities at the same time, even if it is directly hit by the frigate's laser cannon. It won't do much damage to them either. The main gun of the frigate is axially arranged and can only fire directly forward. Even if the frigate had time to aim, it would not be able to catch the sand devil insects crawling underground.
But once the frigate is hit by the acid sprayed by the sand devil...then everyone's lives will be decided here!
"Only this...a little bit?!" "Yes, only 47%!"
Annie, Lin Zhuxue and Captain Leona were silent together.
Everything that can be done has been done, and even according to the optimal prediction, less than half of the people will survive - every survivor will only survive because the sand devil worms devoured their comrades and ran away with all their strength. Come down. ...I don’t seek to outperform the tiger, I just seek to outperform you...The situation seems to be developing towards the worst fact...
The colony is approaching -
40 meters... 30 meters... Except for Annie who always had her eyes closed, Lin Zhuxue and Captain Leona couldn't help but look happy! Maybe the sand devils had eaten enough in the past few days; or maybe their brains were narrow. It is not enough to understand the matter of evacuating from the air, and is still waiting for these people to take the initiative to enter the dinner plate - but in fact, every step forward they take. There will be more hope of escape!
After thinking about this clearly, the speed of the entire team began to speed up involuntarily! "Slow down!" Feeling the sand monsters under her feet becoming increasingly violent, Annie ordered loudly through the communication channel!
Everyone is slowing down a little - but at this time! Suddenly there was the sound of breaking glass from ahead! "Help!" A man suddenly appeared and smashed open a window on a certain floor of the communications building, leaned out and shouted miserably!
Judging from his attire, he seemed to be a researcher in the colony. At this moment, he seemed to be afraid of the Star Alliance soldiers and kept away from him. After the man broke the glass, most of his body leaned out of the window and waved his hands vigorously. Constant yelling.
Countless glass fragments fell from a height of hundreds of meters. Then smashed to pieces on the colonial floor of hardened concrete! The dozens of sand devil insects that were originally peaceful at their feet and were slowly moving forward with the brigade suddenly became restless. Several of them rushed towards the impact location! Annie's heart suddenly fell towards the bottomless abyss...
"In ten seconds at most, the Sand Devil will attack..." Annie put down her arm weakly, no longer needing to feel it. "fxck!" The people around her spat out this dirty word in unison, showing no joy at all when they discovered the survivor!
Not knowing what happened, the soldiers looked at the leadership core here in panic, and they were still walking forward mechanically. But each of them raised their ears and waited for the latest order, for fear of missing a word.
"Someone must stay!" Annie and Lin Zhuxue said in unison! The two glanced at each other, and then spoke together and said, "I'll do it!"
"Annie, you are still young..." Lin Zhuxue said first.
"Go away, uncle!" Annie punched Lin Zhuxue hard on the chest! Push him away... "If I were in charge, I would kill that bastard!" In fact, the real reason is that Anne knew that the captain of the "Guandu" was pregnant...
Lin Zhuxue was speechless - he was a standard soldier, even if he was dissatisfied, he would save the resident. Anne's reason really hit his Achilles heel.
"Why are you here?!" Annie led the two of them to stop a chariot. But when Annie got into the chariot, she actually saw her adjutant, the recruit Liu Ming, sitting in the driver's seat! Did not evacuate with the crew!
"Believe me!" Liu Ming didn't look back, holding on to the steering wheel, as if he wanted me to leave unless I died! "I am the number one chariot driver! Before that, I was the king of underground drag racing! Trust me!"
"What about you?" Anne shook her head noncommittally. She wasted no time and directly chose the default. After sitting on the gun position, she discovered that in addition to the two people she brought with her, Captain Leona had also followed in...
"I am your instructor." Captain Leona said matter-of-factly.
"So! Come on...let's start right away!" Annie switched the rail gun on the tank to manual mode! Aimed at the colony wall and pressed the shooting button! ! !
The eight-centimeter-thick alloy, wrapped in hundreds of layers of colonial walls that fit the material, was hit directly at close range by a railgun projectile accelerated to three thousandths of the speed of light! There was a loud noise of "Boom!" During the earthquake, the wall was blown open with a huge hole ten meters in diameter!
"Everyone is here! Run!!!" Annie yelled in the channel, "Run with the sound of cannons!"
The next moment, a world like a giant descends! In the field of vision... countless towering "giant trees" brought up the soil to the sky and rose from the ground!

"How are the sales of that book?! Have you calculated the statistics?" Tom Adams, the CEO, Editor-in-Chief and Marketing Specialist of Toman Publishing Company, asked anxiously.
Twelve hours have passed since the release of the new book—in this information age, this period is a critical stage for the publishing industry! Before that, Tom Adams had used the little money he had to carry out the largest targeted push, sending this book to the target customers he considered through targeted channels.
At this moment, it is time to decide the performance of this book... If it is still as tepid as the few books he selected in the past, he may have to continue to search for gold in the yellow sand day and night after recovering the cost. …
"It will be a big seller, it will be a big seller..." Before Joe was about to announce the answer, Tom Adams couldn't help but murmured and began to pray.
Qiao paused for a moment before saying, "My 20th Century, the first day sales volume was 117,040 licenses..."
Tom Adams opened his mouth speechlessly, and finally fell down on the chair, holding his head that was unable to support himself - despite the large number, this was not even a good result! It was even the one with the worst start among all the books Tom had chosen in the past...With this kind of sales, he calculated that maybe...the cost would not be recovered.
"Is there... any other bad news?" The intelligent AI was very understanding and did not bother its owner. After a long time, until the sun set and the moon rose, Tom Adams raised his head and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Yes..." Qiao said in an emotionless voice, "There were two abnormal transactions. One was the purchase of 3,450 licenses, and the other was the purchase of 120 licenses. They were both anonymous large payments... It can be predicted that the network The publishing company will definitely investigate you. Please organize your personal account in the near future! And coordinate the author to participate..."
"Okay!" Tom Adams interrupted Joe rudely, "Stop talking about these nonsense, analyze... is there something wrong with my judgment? Tell me the distribution of purchases of this book."
"Your push ads only cover 37% of the buyer's age group." Joe listed the chart, and a smooth parabola appeared on the screen, with a large center and small ends.
"So average?!" After seeing the chart, Tom Adams said something nonsense in astonishment, "In other words, this book is for all ages?!"
Although it is difficult to make a low-cost sales plan for all age groups, all age groups often mean big sales! (To be continued)
