Chapter 150 Approaching

"What are those...?"

The car window reflected the fading sunlight in the afternoon, and the delicate face of Miss Aryan behind the glass stared blankly at the giant insects that were going away.

Under the leadership of car No. 1, everyone escaped.

However, the unknown confusion weighed on their hearts, and no one knew what the monsters that came out of the ground behind them were.

"Is it that the insects have mutated again?" Gregory frowned, feeling heavy-hearted.

Humans have lived on this planet for thousands of years, and there are almost no native creatures that they have never seen. Now, it is even closer to the Zerg nest. If there is anything new that has never been seen, it is right to attribute it to the insects. Even if it is not the insects themselves, it is inevitable that their genetic pollution will affect it.

This ability of survival and mutation of species that came from alien planets is a racial characteristic that human biotechnology imagination cannot keep up with.

Just like the main force of the Zerg... the bugs that landed on the planet thousands of years ago were completely different from the bugs now. At that time, the bugs were almost all based on the air force. The air force creatures named "gargoyles" and "winged snakes" by humans ravaged the sky. The "airdrop capsule" biological cabin that landed from outer space brought countless attendant bugs, horn bugs, soldier bugs and other types of soldiers to madly invade the human defense line and fought in full swing.

Today's worker bugs, bee bugs, mantis bugs, etc. are already later mutations or adaptive creatures.

The master who is completely unfamiliar to humans also appeared not long ago and taught humans a good lesson, and now... a new type of bug has appeared.

What caused a new wave of mutations in this race?

"Sir, do you want to report to the military district?" A soldier asked beside him.

The prohibition engraved in his genes made him always think about the safety of all mankind. If humans are not prepared for the underground, the bugs that suddenly attack from the underground may cause humans to suffer heavy losses or even serious injuries.

Gregory frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No need, let's move on."

They have their mission, and the military camp will not be completely blind.

The core bugs like the Overlord are special cases. There is only one and it hides deep in the insect nest and never shows up. It will never take the initiative to attack unless it is beaten to its home by humans.

But there are quite a lot of bugs just now. It is difficult to completely hide their actions on weekdays.

The military camp will send out some teams to patrol and guard every day. As long as these bugs show signs of moving within a certain range from the city, it is difficult to escape the insight of those elite scouts.

Protect your companions, but also trust your companions.

Patrol and guard are the responsibilities of those scouts, and carrying out this military operation is the mission that they must complete!

The only strange thing is...why didn't those bugs launch a purposeful attack on the three off-road vehicles?

Is it that their organs that perceive the outside world failed to detect the human flesh and blood hidden under the cold steel? Or is it that this kind of bug does not take the responsibility of attacking?

This information can be collected and reported to the research institute for analysis.

Retracting his gaze, Gregory recalled the performance of Car No. 1, which had led everyone to avoid all dangers from the chaotic ground worms, and felt sincerely relieved.

The internal selection mechanism this time was indeed rigorous, and it assigned itself a lot of outstanding fighters. The driver of Car No. 1 performed almost unimaginably well in this incident.

Dare to shoulder everything in the unknown chaos, this kind of determination and courage to remain calm in the face of danger and overcome all obstacles is far more dazzling than his skills.

"Was it 166A11 who led everyone out of danger just now? Well done."

There was a brief silence in the channel, and the voice of the calm veteran slowly came out-

"...It's 95B27."

"..."

This number again...

["Lucky Shot" recharged +7. 】

The prompt sounded inconspicuously, and Bai'e raised his eyes and glanced at the giant insects that were gradually moving away in the rearview mirror inside the car.

Bugs...

Another completely unknown new type of bugs...

From the explosion rate, it is an elite Zerg soldier similar to the mantis bug, but it does not have the node ability of the "Hive Will".

Almost all of its body is covered with a thick layer of black chitinous bone armor. In the sun, the rows of bone blades like blades reflect dazzling cold light.

In future wars, we must not only be careful in front and far away, but also be careful under our feet...

"Let me drive, they can't bandage well behind." After leaving the danger zone, the yellow warrior's voice full of admiration sounded behind Bai'e.

After only two shots, this honest warrior was completely convinced.

Bai'e gently stepped on the brakes and smoothly completed the exchange.

"It's not serious, just rest and recover for a while, but it's best not to use force at the moment." After checking and bandaging the wound, Bai'e warned the main driver of the warrior nicknamed Big White Bear.

"Then the driving..."

"You can rest, I'll take care of the driving."

Besides, the terrain is flat for a long distance ahead, and the yellow warriors can handle it by themselves.

After two crises, the journey became stable again.

Everyone in the car was a little sleepy after the shaky ride.

Until the red sun sank into the ground, the sunset glow hung on the branches, and the twisted silhouette of the jungle was far away on the horizon at dusk.

From early morning to dusk.

The last stop, the beast jungle...

It was getting dark...

The road gradually became bumpy. The hilly area was rugged. Even if we tried to find a smooth road that could be used, it was still bumpy and the speed was much slower.

The yellow warrior twisted a little uneasily and asked behind him: "Brother B27, how about you take over..."

The heavy responsibility made him panic, and avoiding responsibility made him blame himself.

Bai'e patted his shoulder and smiled to dispel his concerns, "You are tired too, let me do it."

The target base was in the depths of the beast jungle far ahead.

When this base was built hundreds of years ago, it deliberately avoided the crowded city. After hundreds of years of abandonment, the world has changed. The place that was just a hilly suburb is now covered with wetlands.

The jungle affected by alien factors has shown amazing activation and aggressiveness.

It has nothing to do with will, only the triggering instinct of waiting for the rabbit.

For those orcs, this is the best playground, but for the human convoy trying to go deeper, it is undoubtedly another difficult hurdle.

According to the established plan, they will reach the edge of the jungle before it gets completely dark. Whether to continue moving forward will be determined by the actual observed situation and the specific arrival time. After all, the target base is still a long way from the outer edge of the jungle. If they walk a little more today, they can reach the target base in advance tomorrow and launch a test and attack.

The three cars slowed down, and someone asked in the voice, "Sir?"

"Slow down and keep moving forward." Gregory's eyes swept across the sky.

It was still early, and there were at least two hours before it got completely dark, so they couldn't waste it.

The target base didn't know what was going on, so it was better to launch observations during the day than to fight at night.

According to the past data obtained, the nighttime capabilities of biochemically modified people far exceeded those of normal humans.

"Yes!"

When attacking outside, the commander's orders were absolute iron laws and were executed perfectly.

In the silent and deserted wilderness, three cars passed through the winding S-shaped curves in front and behind, and the headlights pierced the gradually thick twilight, as if they took the initiative to drill into the devil's open mouth, and slowly drove into the twisted and sparse jungle.

Almost all the trees that came into view were century-old trees that were so thick that they were unimaginable. They might not be very tall, but at least three or four people would have to hug them together. They were one by one, and clearly separated.

"Crunch~"

The dry vines and branches made a crisp cracking sound under the tires. The car body was gently lifted up, turning over the thick tree roots exposed above the ground. The green thick branches that seemed to be disturbed were suddenly pulled back, and rolled up into a ball like a human hand and received next to a giant tree.

Occasionally, some small things that formed a companion relationship with this jungle passed through the network of vines and branches, green and lush, and it was unknown whether they were native species.

Humans have lost their rule over the entire planet for hundreds of years. Under the influence of various external factors, the planet itself has also undergone drastic changes. It is normal for local creatures to undergo a little evolutionary mutation in order to adapt to the environment and survive.

Those small things that caused rustling noises everywhere made this place seem even more quiet.

All the soldiers in the car quietly tightened their machine guns in their arms.

They were not afraid of a head-on battle, but the strange and unknown always made people's heart beat faster.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter any danger along the way.

Bai'e carefully controlled the speed of the car and the choice of the path. He tried not to get close to any dangerous places that might "touch" those "beast-like giant trees" unless he really couldn't avoid it.

The winding path selection allowed the six headlights to shoot straight into the depths of the hills, and some were blocked by small hills.

It was not until it was pitch dark outside that the voice of Chief Gregory sounded in everyone's earphones, "Stop the car, turn off the engine, everyone rest in the car! Pay attention to the allocation of shifts and keep your energy."

"Yes! Chief!"

"Yes! Chief!"

Bai'e stepped on the brakes, but did not leave the driving position.

Even if he rested, he had to rest in the driving seat to ensure that he could take everyone out of danger as soon as possible in the event of an accident.

There was a dim light in the car, and everyone was making the final preparations before resting.

"Come, have something to eat."

The hot instant food package was handed to him by the calm soldier from behind, "There is also a blanket, cover it, be careful not to catch a cold at night."

"Okay, thank you."

"After eating, you go to sleep first, I'll call you in the middle of the night."

"Okay."

After briefly dealing with personal needs, the lights went out and the whole car was silent.

Slight snoring sounded everywhere.

Recalling everything that happened on the road today, looking at the sleeping figure on the left side of the cockpit in front of him in the dark, the calm veteran felt a sense of relief inexplicably.

It seemed that nothing was difficult to perform a mission with him.

This was the stability that he could not feel when he occasionally went on a mission with some genetically optimized warriors or psychics in the past. Maybe it was because...his seemingly extremely calm personality? Even if he encountered a sudden change, he was extremely calm and decisive?

Or it was because of the other party's reputation-he saved more than 400 lives alone on the battlefield against the Zerg!

He was not the person involved, but when he thought that the warrior who had done this before had become his teammate, he felt that he had someone to rely on.

Before sufficient personal ability is demonstrated, unity and noble qualities are just gentle traps; with ability, all nobility of the soul has a foundation.

In short, it was like a bright moon rising in his heart, in this moonless night, the cold light illuminated his soul...

"Crack~"

"Crack~"

The branches twitched slowly...
