After Lin Zhuxue joined the battle group, Annie's chariot was finally freed from the dangerous tightrope walk.
Annie's "Curry Stick" released with all her strength actually turned the tide of the battle. Even she didn't expect this! Leona was thinking about whether these bugs were photophobic, but what Anne was thinking about was - could these bugs be creatures with dark attributes? ! Did she know that the radiance she inspired with the power of Seraph was definitely not a simple white light - it was a typical light from heaven! In nature, it is more positive energy than the "Light of Lunia" released by Lu Yuan back then.
Under the illumination of the "holy light", most of the sand demon larvae burrowed back into the ground in pain and panic. And one of the largest of the raging sand devils was directly shot in the head by a "curry stick"! Now outside the wall, only the three largest sand devil insects in the community are left, and they are still chasing the chariot relentlessly! When Lin Zhuxue mocked and pulled one away, Annie's pressure was greatly reduced.
At this moment, all the sand devils were restrained, and the remaining soldiers rushed into the communication center as quickly as possible, and then rushed up to the twenty floors in one breath! When the number of floor slabs under their feet gave them some sense of security, everyone began to count the number of people. The veterans were surprised to find that there were actually 37 people left! Including the 9 people currently in the tank, the advance team has only lost (sacrificially) 19 people. It can be said that the survival situation is far beyond expectations...
If you think about it, you will know that no matter how big or small the sand devil is, for ordinary humans, whether it is a hundred meters long or hundreds of meters long, it is too big to resist! In contrast, the predation of the more agile sand devil larvae is more difficult to dodge. Now that all the little bugs have burrowed into the ground, the survival rate of the advance team has increased significantly!
"Is the one Annie used... a superpower?" Someone thought of the light that penetrated the sky and the earth, and the warm white-gold light that shone on the body, and couldn't help but ask the old team members.
"Of course!" the black vice-captain stared. Yelled at that guy! The people in the "Gamma" team have always known that Annie can use "powers". It's just that Annie used it to reduce inflammation, heal minor injuries, relieve fatigue, etc... some very small "superpowers". Talk about efficacy. It's not as effective as a multipurpose tool plus medical glue, and it's not very scientific either. So no one really cares about it.
Twenty years ago, the first batch of superpowers were officially born to the people of Earth due to the accidental leakage of Element Zero. Because except for a few individuals, the vast majority of people with superpowers are children whose mothers were exposed to element zero radiation during pregnancy.
There are many zero tumors in the bodies of these superpowers, which is the source of their manipulation of negative energy fields. It also leads to their poor health. And the genes are also unstable. If humans want to achieve the genetic talents of the entire race like the Asari, I am afraid it will take more than ten generations, or even dozens of generations of genetic engineering. The Asari's home planet is a planet rich in element zero, and after thousands of years of evolution, they have reached the level where everyone has superpowers today.
Although there are not many superpowers in the Star Alliance now, they can be seen occasionally, especially in the army, so it is not too novel. However, most people with superpowers are born with very weak superpowers. At most, it’s as good as breaking a spoon. Only after craniotomy and the installation of a "superpower amplifier" can superpowers have real practical value. But Anne steadfastly refused to have a chip inserted into her brain! Moreover, she was severely warned by Lu Yuan. Starlink's new L2 superpower amplifier currently has a fatal flaw in its design!
The black captain could understand Anne's hidden feelings - after today, her life would probably never be peaceful again.
"Watch your mouths...Captain and Annie are still fighting outside! Everyone is looking for a suitable shooting position. Do you have the machine gun? Set it up! We need to contain the bugs and create opportunities for Captain and others to retreat..." He As he spoke, he strode through the corridor and opened a door at the end...
Looking at the scene in the room, the black captain pursed his lips speechlessly and took a few steps back. Then he opened another door... Seeing those dozen pairs of frightened eyes, the black captain didn't know what to say. He finally opened the communication directly. Said: "Captain Lin, Annie. There is good news here..."
But his voice was clearly full of bitterness!
*****
"There are nearly a thousand people in the building?!" Liu Ming repeated in disbelief, "Is this good news?!"
"There are so many survivors, of course it's... good news." Now that there were no outsiders in the car, Annie could complain a little in a helpless tone. She is now leaning on Leona's arms, chewing on energy bars to replenish her strength. The curry stick just now almost shot her out... Now Liu Ming's driving is getting better and better, and there are only two sand monsters chasing her. In this situation, it was like two elephants stepping on a little mouse, very slippery... No need for her to guide.
"But we only have one frigate! We can carry up to 150 people at a time... and then transport them to the nearest planet. A thousand people... rice, how long do we need to withdraw?! How long can we hold on?!" Liu Ming said reluctantly, the sight of his classmates flying with flesh and blood gave him a huge physical and mental impact!
If we start to rescue civilians next, then their group of big soldiers will undoubtedly have to retreat last! However, you can’t hold on until that time, right? ! ... Speaking of which, Liu Ming is a standard rich second generation! In the future, he will have a fortune of tens of millions of stars waiting for him to spend - he did not join the army to get gold, but to learn the rules! If it weren't for the fact that he loved racing so much, his family would never have sent him to the army to polish his skills... He really didn't have much of a sense of responsibility as a soldier.
Annie rolled her eyes speechlessly. Whether it was Lin Zhuxue or the deputy team, they thought of this problem as soon as they learned the news, but they didn't say anything. Anne's small complaint was already her limit.
"Drive your car!" Aunt Leona noticed Annie's embarrassment and yelled at Liu Ming until he shrank back in despair.
"I haven't asked yet, are you..." Anne looked at the female captain with some doubts. There is no love without reason, and there is no hatred without reason. Leona is a little...too good to her. Teachers...students, etc., just talk about it in front of outsiders - you see so many students outside have died.
"I am Angela's mother, and I came here specifically to see my daughter's girlfriend!" Leona readily revealed her other identity. But based on this logic... Annie thought about the morning when she first entered this world, the policewoman lying next to her and calling for her to give birth to a child... it seemed to be named Angela... and sure enough, she was with Captain Leona. The appearance is somewhat similar.
"It turns out...it's my aunt." Annie moved away from her sight in embarrassment. Don't know what to do. Inexplicably... I started to feel guilty. Fortunately, Lin Zhuxue accessed the communication at this time. Rescued her...
"Annie," Lin Zhuxue's voice sounded like she was really happy for the survivors. "Can I have one more shot?"
"No!" Captain Leona said before Anne could speak. She looked at Annie distressedly and yelled into the earphone, "The little girl worked so hard to attract firepower and solved the biggest bug (obviously not..., are you, the captain, just doing nothing?!" Then She said domineeringly. "The rest is all up to you! If you are still a man, shoot all three of them!"
Listening to the woman's obviously biased remarks, Lin Zhuxue opened her mouth wide - what she said was so unreasonable, but I was speechless! ! !
"Guandu, Guandu, this is the advance team..." He didn't even have a lollipop, let alone a "curry stick". It was completely impossible for him to take down those three big guys who looked like cruisers. Lin Zhuxue suddenly felt sad when she thought that I was a "useless man". He could only call to the "Guandu" frigate with tears in his eyes, hoping that the frigate's main gun would work.
The frigate faced off against the Sand Demon Insect that could rush hundreds of meters into the air. Obviously the risk is extremely high - but in order to evacuate those thousands of survivors, taking risks is almost necessary! It was as if two cars were now being chased by three monsters. Is it very easy...
****
"Chirp~chirp!" A sharp and piercing cry came from nowhere!
"What's the sound?" Annie suddenly felt like something was wrong! She sat upright in Leona's arms and asked nervously.
"It's not just a sound!" The sound sounded like the cry of a sand devil, but the audio did not match the sound of all fourteen sand devils! (Captain Leona has numbered, classified and sorted out all the sand devil bugs and sorted out the basic data. Leona picked up the data pad and swiped towards the vehicle screen. On the screen, from right below the colony, regular tapping patterns appeared. The vibrations - one after another. Like a giant beating the ground!
Perhaps, this is the communication method of sand devil insects.
After hearing that cry. Although the three large sand devils were unwilling to give up, they still "obediently" gave up and continued to chase the target. They stood there and swung a few times, blocking out the sun. Slowly shrinking into the surface of the earth, leaving only countless deep, bottomless holes on the ground...
"They also have a commander! The bigger one..." Leona used the analysis software to outline, and gradually... a giant creature that was lying under the surface of the planet hundreds of meters deep, with a total length of one kilometer! Revealing its ferocious figure...
The captain stopped. Leona could no longer speak. Even she could feel the deep despair in her voice. But neither Annie nor Lin Zhuxue spoke, and the communication channel was silent.
Why? ! ...Aren't a dozen giant bugs enough? There is actually a bigger leader... Does God want us to die here? !
"Captain..." the black vice-captain said.
Lin Zhuxue looked up at the roof of the car speechlessly, then bent down and rested her forehead on the steering wheel. After hearing the deputy captain's reminder, he opened his mouth several times, but his voice was so dry that he couldn't speak!
"Order! Try to...save the residents..." Maybe only a few seconds passed, but it felt like a whole century! The top commander of the advance team, Lin Zhuxue, made this final decision painfully but resolutely!
Each of the 46 people who survived heard this order. The communication channel was always dead silent, with no approval or objection - he had just escaped death, and in the blink of an eye he was sentenced to death - I don't know what happened elsewhere when I heard this order. But Liu Ming's reaction was to punch the console hard! Smash your fist until blood drips from your fist! But he just silently took out the medical glue, treated his wounds, gritted his teeth tightly, and didn't say any objection!
It's for a man, don't be timid at this time!
"Stay alive and take care of Angela." The insects were dormant underground and seemed to have stopped attacking. But everyone knows that it is just the silence before the storm. Almost everyone is taking advantage of these few minutes of spare time on the battlefield to think about their own concerns. Captain Leona told Annie, she held her sniper rifle and put on her helmet again. "Please allow me to be lazy for a few minutes. I want to finish reading that novel."
…
"Annie...no, it's the captain! You...what are you doing?!"
Just when everyone can only remain silent and wait for the judgment of fate. Suddenly he heard something coming from the communication channel, and Liu Ming asked Annie in a panic. He may have forgotten to turn off the team channel, but unknowingly broke the dead silence. Liu Ming's words were completely transmitted to the ears of everyone in the team. Almost everyone who heard it became curious. It was about to come to a critical moment of life and death. What amazing move did Annie do to surprise Liu Ming so much? !
Captain Leona tapped her helmet, and the visor became transparent and visible again.
She saw that Annie had taken apart the magazine of the tank and was disassembling the high-explosive warhead on the vehicle-mounted missile! And on the metal box placed next to her, a dismantled high-explosive bomb has been fixed with all-purpose glue!
"That box... don't tell me it's the battleship's fuel supply tank!?" Leona shouted out in equal surprise. She also had some scalp numbness, the two of them exploded together and could level the entire colony!
Now, the seduction has made countless people feel itchy - you should make it clear! What did Annie do? What fuel tank? Nima, hurry up and make it clear! ! ! ——Is this a rhythm that will make me die unknown? !
Annie bit her lip, finished her work silently and seriously, and fixed the second high-explosive warhead on the metal box.
"The conditions for fusion of thermonuclear fuel without additives are too harsh, but two high-explosive warheads are enough to create such an environment for a short time! So there is such a... nuclear bomb." Anne's sonorous and powerful voice spoke in the communication echoed in the channel.
People listened quietly. Anne's words were like an impromptu speech, which attracted everyone's ears from the beginning. Just like the light she emits, everyone who hears it feels that it is not the time to give up yet, there is still hope...Anne can still create miracles!
"Click!" Annie inserted the detonator on the all-purpose glue, carefully paired the remote control and tested it, then inserted it into the holster tied to her thigh. Then she grabbed the box directly, put it on her back, and adjusted the strap to the most suitable length. Watching her do things quietly and carefully, it is almost impossible to realize that it is actually a big bomb made in a rough way!
"At the beginning, according to the plan made by the captain and me, even if we tried our best, the number of people who would survive in the end could not exceed 47%, which is... 30 people! But in reality? We created a miracle! We 46 people survived! How much is that?... 70%! Not only that..." She looked at Liu Ming, "My driver, Liu Ming, personally drove and killed a sand devil insect!"
In the communication channel, there was the sound of someone applauding.
"Look...difficulties are not insurmountable, everyone can create miracles! Do you know? I like some fictional characters very much...They always give me more strength." Anne's voice reaches everyone's heart . "There was one guy who really impressed me."
"When you are in a desperate situation, everyone says 'it's time to give up'. But the Master Chief, he will definitely say -" Annie buckled the last belt hard, "planb!!!"
