How To Die As Heavy As Mount Tai

Chapter 8: Lieutenant Colonel Beta who died for his country

After a long conversation with Carlo, Andrew, who had returned to the cabin, suddenly disappeared with the smile that had been hanging on the corner of his mouth. He sniffed his left hand, and the corner of his mouth ticked indifferently: "I really know something incredible."

Then, he repeatedly operated on the optical brain and connected to an encrypted channel. A holographic projection of a gray-haired man appeared in mid-air, and anyone who was present could recognize this man, the commander of the Fifth Legion—General Wayne.

Wayne is a legendary figure, and the battle with the Zerg in those days shocked the four. It's a pity that it has been quiet recently, and the Fifth Legion he led has not made any achievements for a long time, and even his own prestige among the people has also decreased a lot. In the special period when the current marshal is seriously ill, this is really not a favorable situation for Wayne.

On the contrary, his biggest competitor, General Rees of the Second Corps, has been gaining popular support in recent years because of the success of the special operations unit formed by his son Colonel Hewitt.

In order to compete for the highest position in the military, Wayne made a lot of moves behind his back, but with little success.

"Sir." Andrew saluted.

Wayne frowned, showing dissatisfaction: "Contact directly on Fenglei, you are too risky."

"Sir, I just learned a very important piece of information. Carlo Meg, the newcomer that Hewitt attaches great importance to, is actually an Omega. And Hewitt and Reiner seem to have a disagreement over this matter. "

"It's really good news, thanks for your hard work." Wayne nodded thoughtfully.

Lu Heng's anger has not subsided until he reached the battle command room, and what Carlo just did has violated his bottom line. A man in a military uniform kneels so dignifiedly.

"Reiner, what happened?" Hewett felt a little subtle in how long he hadn't seen him fluctuate so much. I always feel a little uncomfortable. I used to be the only one who could make Reiner change his face.

"It's nothing important, let's get down to business first."

Although his heart was as unbearable as thousands of ants crawling, Hewitt let go of his doubts and turned on the holographic projection.

"This is the star road map we recaptured last time, look at these coordinates." Hewitt zoomed in on a certain point.

"This is... a wormhole?"

"Yes, according to the picture returned by the reconnaissance robot, this wormhole seems to be linked to the territory of the Zerg, and it is in the center."

"What? This side of the wormhole is behind the Malachi defense line. Once this wormhole is discovered by the Zerg, the consequences will be disastrous." Lu Heng said.

Although for humans, only those with 3S physique can travel through wormholes without being squashed by high-quality wormholes. But for the Zerg, such restrictions are not severe, and the higher Zerg basically have a physique equivalent to the 3S level.

Xiuyi nodded: "The mission assigned by the military this time is to use the high magnetic energy R-1 to induce the wormhole to collapse, but I have an idea."

Lu Heng received it naturally: "Do you want to go to the wormhole to see?"

Hewitt has always taken the annihilation of the Zerg as his biggest goal, but as long as the Zerg Queen exists for one day, there will always be a steady stream of Zerg harassing the territory of the Terran. But the queen has been hidden in the center of the heavily protected Zerg territory, with no trace to be found. Now, with such a good opportunity, it's not surprising that Hewitt wanted to go check it out.

"You still know me." Hewitt grinned, intending to give Lu Heng a big smile.

"It's against the rules."

Hearing this, the corner of Hewitt's half-raised mouth suddenly collapsed, looking very depressed. In the original world line, Reiner finally did not agree to go to the other side of the wormhole with Hewitt. It was Carlo who went with him. After the two of them lived and died together, Hewitt became more determined to keep Carlo in Fenglei. After that, the conflict with Reiner became more and more intense. How could Lu Heng let this happen? Anyway, Destiny Child is destined to love each other, it doesn't matter if it changes a little detail.

"However, if you are exploring in a private name..." Before Lu Heng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hewitt, who rushed up.

"Little Nana, you really are my sweet little angel, I really love you to death!"

Lu Heng, who was caught off guard, pushed aside Hewitt, who was wagging his tail indifferently, "Now, let's talk about Carlo."

During this time, Hewitt, who was overwhelmed by the blood, also calmed down and thought about it. Indeed, as Lu Heng said, the existence of Carlo will cause the entire wind and thunder to disappear at any time. Putting an entire team in such a dangerous situation is not what a good leader should do. However, when he remembered that Carlo was the child of Sergeant Meg, he could not relentlessly hand Carlo to the first law enforcement team.

Xiuit glanced at Lu Heng, his expression was indifferent, his eyebrows were slightly closed as always, and his pale lips were pursed lightly. This picture looked a little indifferent to others, but it made him feel at ease.

With Reiner around, things always work out. When did Reiner become the dominant one between them. As a child, Reiner was still the shy little boy circling behind him. I don't know when it started, Reiner suddenly grew up, became mature and calm, and nothing could make him move his eyebrows.

Such Reiner is so reliable, but he may not have seen him smile happily for a long time. Hewitt suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, like a feeling of distress.

"Commander, Commander? Hewitt!"

Interrupted by Lu Heng's voice, Xiuyite sat upright and said, "Speaking of which, you were so angry just now because of Carlo?"

Lu Heng nodded: "From my personal point of view, I don't think Carlo Meg is suitable to be a soldier. However, considering Sergeant Meg, I think we can give him a chance, you know Di General Len Shaw?"

Dylan Shaw is a legend, the only Omega general in human history. Dylan was born in a family of soldiers, and he was educated by iron and blood since he was a child. He chose to cut off the glands, gave up all the privileges that belonged to Omega, and became a soldier. Afterwards, it shined brightly and left a deep impression on history.

Without Lu Heng finishing speaking, Hewitt understood what he meant, "I'll talk to Carlo. If he doesn't want to, I'll ask him to submit a retirement report."

The military requires Fenglei to complete the task of blowing up the wormhole within a month. Without further ado, Xiuyite and Lu Heng set off for the wormhole after confirming various details.

Even with a 3S physique, passing through the wormhole still made Lu Heng feel a little dizzy and nauseated. He took a few deep breaths and managed to suppress the uncomfortable feeling. Lu Heng and Hewitt began to explore the surrounding situation.

The experienced duo soon discovered a planet just north of the wormhole, at a moderate distance from the star, with a stable orbit and a high possibility of life. So the two chose that planet as their first destination.

The planet was in an extremely primitive state, with tall trees covering the sky, and wild vines weaving a huge network on the ground. However, it was so quiet here that there was no sound of any creatures. This is not normal. In a planet so suitable for life forms, coupled with the sticky touch under your feet, there is a sweet smell in the air. This is the territory of the Zerg. Only a battle-hardened soldier can smell this special smell. Lu Heng and Xiuyite looked at each other with a solemn expression.

Lu Heng squatted down and grabbed a handful of white matter on the ground to examine it carefully: "It's the eggshell tissue of the Zerg. It seems that this planet is likely to be the queen's hiding place..."

"It's not possible, it's a certainty." As soon as the voice fell, Xiuyt's figure flashed, and he rushed out like a cheetah, and his right leg hit the abdomen of the sneak attacking Zerg like a long whip.

The Zerg was kicked heavily on the stone wall, and a lot of debris fell from the stone wall. However, the Zerg just shook its head and rushed over unscathed.

The Zerg that rushed over was covered in golden scale armor, carrying a pair of transparent wings, and the antennae on the top of its head were almost twice as long as its body. This is exactly the higher Zerg-Guardian insects that only appear around the Queen.

As the queen's elite troops, the guard worms are extremely rare, and nearly a million eggs can hatch a guard worm. On the other hand, the Guards are extremely powerful, and the golden scale armor can hardly be broken by any weapon, but the mecha can cause damage to it. But the Queen's spiritual net must cover the entire planet. Once the mecha is taken out from the space button, the energy fluctuations will definitely be discovered by the Queen. With a few more guard worms, it would be difficult for the two of them to fly even with their wings attached.

Holding the dagger, Lu Heng cut into the side of the Guard worm, trying to attack the seemingly fragile part under its wings. Then, as soon as the knife stabbed in, it was discovered that it seemed to be a piece of jelly-like tissue fluid, which did little harm to the guard worm.

In the stalemate, Lu Heng saw Xiuyt make a gesture, signaling him to attract the attention of the guards. Lu Heng immediately stabbed into the mouthpart attacked by the guard insect. He was extremely fast, leaving the moment the guard insect closed its mouthparts, and the dagger made a long cut in its unarmored mouth.

The painful guard worm let out a sharp howl, and angrily focused all the attacks on Lu Heng. Although Lu Heng drew his hands quickly, the corrosive saliva of the guard insects was still dripping on his hands, making a burning sizzling sound. His face remained the same, and he was still agile to avoid the attack of the insects, but it was still a little difficult for a person to fight against the guard insects without the help of mecha.

The high-intensity movements made the muscles tired quickly, and Lu Heng's movements slowed for a moment, seeing that the insect's sharp mouthparts were about to fall on his shoulders. If this attack is carried out, half of his arm will inevitably be ripped off.
