Chapter 369 The Starry Sky Is so Big, Where Is Home?
(Congratulations to the new protector "Tadashi"!)
Behind the Zeger group, a giant bug arrived late, perhaps because of its huge size, the movement speed of the beetles carrying it was reduced by more than half.
The degenerated wings split on both sides, and the fat and bulging abdomen lazily collapsed behind it.
This is a plasma worm that is a circle larger than the previous four.
Its timing was so ingenious that it just avoided the split second of Nova's nuclear explosion.
Afterwards, Zeger poured into the vacuum area again, and this fat plasma worm stepped into the deep pit of the still warm red field.
At this time, the federal troops on the ground had disappeared, and the No. 2 star carrier floating outside became the biggest target. Grid continued to charge under the command of the unknown mysterious.
The biggest shortcoming of these Zegers is finally exposed, that is, they do not have the ability to control the air!
However, this shortcoming was obviously also known to the unknown leader, and the follow-up air force was coming quickly.
And what they have to do now is to leave these two starships behind.
The plasma worm fell to the ground, turned its bulky body around, inserted four pairs of appendages into the soil, and pushed its heavy tail up hard.
A faint blue light began to flicker from it, and soon the abdomen swelled up as if it was inflated.
The blue light became more and more intense, and the tip of the tail even started to split.
In five seconds at the most, the berserk giant plasma ball inside will spurt out.
Judging from the size of this plasma worm, the volume of the plasma ball will definitely exceed any previous one.
The tail has been split to more than 2 meters in diameter, and it continues to open.
The bright light finally caught the attention of Lin Hao and all the officers in the command room.
"Major Zheng Rui and the others are about to enter the starship."
"Look, major, what is that?"
"The blue is getting brighter there!"
"how is this possible!"
"how is this possible!"
When the screen was zoomed in and the scene there was clearly seen, it was like an electric current passing through everyone's backs, and all their hairs were blown up.
The tail of the huge bug was raised high, as if aiming at the sky.
And in the sky...
Now there are only starships!
"Why is this bug so big! Wasn't it completely cleared just now?"
"Why is this kind of monster again, what other creatures in Zeger we don't know!"
"It's going to attack..."
"Star, Zai, Ship." Lin Hao's tone was extremely dry.
The spaceship hovering above the battlefield is now a fixed target.
"Major Lin Hao, we are about to land on the starship." Zheng Rui's voice came.
"Major Zheng Rui, be careful on the ground behind, there is a giant Zeger that can spew plasma balls!"
Um! ?
Zheng Rui, who was driving an air combat mecha, looked back, and his eyes instantly locked on the huge bug!
Raising your hand without any hesitation is a string of "little fighting cats" air-to-ground missiles.
The six missiles spun and criss-crossed, directly attacking the giant plasma worm.
The tail has been extended to a diameter of nearly three meters, and at this time the missile flashed across the sky.
In just half a second, the muzzle velocity exceeded Mach 3.
The missile hit the plasma worm directly.
Boom boom boom!
Gunpowder smoke filled the air and covered it.
finished?
A bright blue light suddenly appeared, and a ball of deep blue plasma broke through the smoke and pierced the sky.
The ultra-high temperature plasma ball directly hit the No. 2 star carrier.
The huge energy shield excited by the ship instantly had a depression at the bottom, and the invisible force field was clearly outlined in the spreading of the blue plasma.
The energy shield, which was strong enough to resist level 2.5 weapons, shattered after only holding on for less than 0.1 second.
The plasma ball broke through the defensive force field, slammed into the bottom armor, and then violently exploded.
Plasma.
At the bottom of the ship more than 300 meters away, a hole with a diameter of more than five meters suddenly appeared.
The red warning light flickered rapidly inside the hull.
In the command room of another star-borne ship where Lin Hao is located, the three-dimensional structure diagram representing the No. 2 star-borne ship shows that the isolation compartment on the ground floor has been severely damaged, and there is an energy reactor near the isolation compartment.
"Report to the major! The worm's plasma ball is very strong in energy interference, and the restart of the energy shield needs to be delayed for ten seconds."
"Fortunately... was eliminated by Major Zheng Rui."
At this time, Mu Fan had been brought into the command room by the soldiers.
Just heard Lin Hao's words.
"Is this group of people blind?! There are five more in the back! What kind of planet is this? How could there be a large-scale plasma worm?"
Hei's voice suddenly sounded, and through the ship's surveillance system, it had already discovered these anomalies in advance.
So under the dark operation, a red mark appeared on a place in the holographic map!
Mu Fan pointed to that area, and the small voice silenced the audience again.
"There are more."
Five huge plasma worms appeared again!
They appear so abruptly that they emerge directly from the ground.
Zheng Rui, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, fixed his eyes when he heard the message from the command room.
Those bugs emerged from the ground? ! ?
Zeger has already opened the passage to the base?
Now the small transport ship has sailed halfway, and twenty-six mecha escorts are in the air.
If these huge monsters spit out plasma balls again, then this starship carrier that has lost its energy shield will be in jeopardy!
Five plasma worms, an unknown crypt.
...
The life of his own robe, and even the light of hope for the future of the military—the group of teenagers are in the ship behind him.
I can look down on them, but they are indeed the future of the military.
In this case, then...
The young major had a determined look on his face.
Star carrier No. 1 has already lifted off, in the command room.
Mu Fan looked up at Lin Hao again, just like his calm expression on the ground.
"Major, student Mu Fan, apply for an air combat mecha attack."
Lin Hao looked at the young man in front of him with fighting spirit in his eyes again, but shook his head.
"Among the two starships... there is no longer a mecha."
At this moment, as if returning to the days of following Colonel Qi Longxiang again, he was just an ordinary officer sitting around Colonel Qi's crowd.
What would Colonel Qi do if he encountered this situation?
A heroic and indifferent man, with his wise eyes, sees through every fatal situation, and always speaks the words that lead to victory in a calm and heinous tone when he is in a desperate situation——
"Don't tell me the number of casualties, I just want to win!"
"Tell First Squadron that the Federation needs their lives."
...
If the final victory can be obtained, then no matter how great the sacrifice is, it is worth it.
If the hope of the military's future can be preserved, then no amount of sacrifice can...
After breathing, he made a prudent decision, Lin Hao picked up the communicator.
At this moment, there was pain in his eyes, but his voice was extremely firm.
"Starship No. 2, the Federation needs you to sacrifice your life now! I, Lin Hao, beg you to preserve the last chance for the seeds of hope of the Federation Army!"
"So now, I order you to resist the air attacks of the Zerg clan with all your strength, and fight for the last chance for Starship No. 1 to lift off!"
In the end, the painful tone finally turned into determination!
Everyone in the command room, including Mu Fan, did not expect Lin Hao to say such a thing.
The tiger hunting captain he was familiar with, Luo Jianjin, was on the No. 2 ship at the moment, and the order given by Lin Hao already represented the end of his death.
"... No. 2 starship received, salute to the glory. Guaranteed, No. 1 ship is launched!"
After a short pause, the voice from the communicator came from the other end, and the voice showed the decisiveness unique to soldiers.
This was the first time Mu Fan encountered such a cruel scene in a peaceful environment.
Even when he faced those swarms alone, he never despaired.
Because he knows that behind him are those reliable companions and teammates.
But now, the order clearly told them——
I will abandon you, please die!
And those soldiers replied with only one meaning—received.
Cold and cruel, the order is forbidden.
The world belonging to soldiers is presented naked in front of Mu Fan.
Now he didn't know what it was like, it was the first time someone would die generously in order to protect his group.
When the No. 2 starship on the holographic map began to slowly shift the hull, a sudden sentence cut into the channel.
"I'm Zheng Rui, please launch the No. 2 starship normally."
"This expedition failed, and I cannot shirk my responsibility. My fellow soldiers, you are the best fighters, and the Federation still needs you to continue fighting. Students from Dingchuan, please forgive my previous arrogance, you are the army There is hope for the future, so you must live on.”
"So... after this break, please leave it to me. Zheng Rui, Major of the Expeditionary Force, make sure the starship is launched normally!"
Calm words are like telling a plain thing.
"The starry sky is so big, where is home...Farewell." No one heard the last muttered to himself, because Zheng Rui had already turned off the voice.
After these words were spoken, there was silence in the command room, and silence among the officers and men of the entire ship.
Then involuntarily, first one person saluted silently, and then all the students, officers and soldiers saluted.
And the expeditionary soldiers who had just entered the No. 2 star carrier burst into tears instantly.

PS: (To make a digression, Zheng Rui is the image that Dangdang has always wanted to portray. Only flesh and blood can make the characters come alive. Soldiers have always been a noble profession. No matter how the political situation changes, for the protected people, the real struggle lies in Soldiers on the front line are always worthy of respect. When their loyalists need them, there is only one thing they have to do—to die willingly. Even if their personalities are very different, even if they have this or that flaw, but when When the country's righteousness requires it, they will form a high degree of unity of belief. Without the sacrifices of these soldiers, the territory would not be so large, and the national power would not be so strong. Even though there are moths and garbage under any circumstances, those beliefs have never collapsed people, always exist.)
