The green mantis is about two meters tall, with thick hind legs that give it super jumping ability. It has a pair of bone blades like long knives on the front of its body, and translucent wings on its body.
This kind of mantis is the famous cannon fodder among the Zerg: the Blade Mantis.
For ordinary people, the Swift Blade Mantis is very fast, and its pair of bone knives are even more ferocious.
But this kind of mantis has almost no way to deal with exoskeleton armor.
The bald captain of the assault team quickly calmed down after being shocked. If the opponents were all fast-blade mantises, they would pose almost no threat to them.
However, this group of Zergs hid so well that they could even avoid radar scans. It was obvious that there were other Zergs on the other side. We must not be careless.
"Set up positions on the spot, cover each other, and don't let the bugs rush over..."
As the bald man spoke, he threw plasma grenades frantically forward.
The other assault members also followed suit and threw plasma grenades.
The intense plasma temperature generated by the plasma grenade burns all the insects in an area of hundreds of square meters into ashes.
The terrifying penetrating power of plasma makes it extremely lethal to these low-level insects.
However, there were too many mantises rushing over, and several blank areas separated by the balls of plasma light were soon submerged by the surging green tide.
The bald man and other commandos felt their scalps tingling. Without any orders, a group of people started firing at the outside at the same time.
Propelled by high-energy gunpowder, the hard metal bullet can penetrate a 50-centimeter steel plate from a thousand meters away.
The metal bullet swept past, and as long as it hit the blade mantis, it could easily penetrate the insect's body. The powerful kinetic energy of the bullet would tear a large hole in the blade mantis' body.
The mantis's green blood splattered everywhere.
It's just that there are too many fast-blade mantises, and you can kill a few of them by just shooting with your eyes closed. But facing tens of millions of fast-blade mantises charging at you, few people can shoot accurately.
The speed of the fast blade mantis is very fast, and there is a large gap between them. If you really aim and shoot, you may not be able to hit it.
Although the commandos were all experienced fighters, they could not remain calm and fire their guns in the face of such a fierce attack. A group of people fired their guns, trying to suppress the Zerg with firepower.
This was obviously unrealistic. Although large swaths of the Zerg were blasted into pieces, their charge did not slow down at all.
The bald man shouted hurriedly: "Team 102 calling for air support, coordinates..."
The Exocet battleships in the air also discovered the Zerg on the ground. The two Exocet battleships quickly lowered their altitude and suppressed the charging Zerg with their naval guns.
The fierce naval guns had powerful firepower, and the naval guns immediately cleared a blank area a hundred meters in front of the 102 squad.
Green bugs exploded one by one under the cannon, and the wreckage of buildings and vehicles on the ground were also shattered under the cannon. Groups of green slurry splashed and pieces of smoke and dust flew.
Even with the helmet filtering, the low roar of the ship's guns was still so powerful. The bald leader of the assault team was so excited that his hair stood on end. He shouted excitedly: "Brothers, don't panic, we are protected by the organization!"
"Something is not right."
Gao Xuan said to the bald man, "Let the flying ship take off immediately."
The bald man was stunned: "Why?"
Gao Xuan sighed. This question was very troublesome to explain. It was too late to explain it.
Dozens of strong electric lights rose from deep underground and pierced the two Exocet warships a hundred meters in the air.
The two warships paused for a moment in the lightning before their hulls exploded. The frantic strafing of the naval guns also stopped.
Then, the two Exocet warships crashed to the ground.
The bald man was stunned, but he quickly reacted: "Let's go and save them."
Gao Xuan knew that everyone inside had been killed by the strong electric current, so it was useless to go over.
However, there was still some ammunition supplies in the Exocet battleship, so it was not a waste of time to go there.
At the same time, the Exocet battleship formation in the sky also responded, launching dozens of missiles downwards.
The bald man was so scared that he yelled, "Get down quickly. I'm going to fuck his mother..."
Dozens of supersonic missiles bombarded the area around the team with great accuracy. The violent missile shock waves blew away the assault team members lying on the ground.
It took a full minute for the missile's shock wave to slowly dissipate.
Although the assault team were not injured, they were all covered in dust and looked quite embarrassed.
The bald man asked, "Is everyone okay?"
"fine."
"fine… "
The group of people soon discovered that something was wrong, as the wireless communication had been interrupted. They could only communicate directly through voice.
The bald man was surprised and asked, "What's going on?"
"It should be the electromagnetic net left by the electromagnetic beetle, which blocks all wireless communications..."
Lao Yu is in charge of engineering logistics and is quite familiar with these things.
"Weren't they all killed in the explosion?" asked the bald man.
"It's useless to blow them up. The electromagnetic field released by the electromagnetic beetle will linger for several days. It's very troublesome."
Lao Yu sighed, "I'm afraid Raccoon City has been covered by the electromagnetic net. That would be troublesome."
All precision guided weapons of flying ships rely on wireless technology. If the electromagnetic network interferes with all wireless communications, flying ships will be unable to provide air support.
What's more troublesome is that once the flying ship lands at a very low altitude, it is easy to be attacked by plasma beetles.
"The plasma released by an adult plasma beetle can travel thousands of meters. It's very scary."
Lao Yu sighed and said, "How can there be so many plasma beetles in this damn place? The intelligence must be wrong."
The bald captain was a little confused: "What should we do now?"
There is no wireless communication and no way to contact the superiors. In the face of such an emergency, should we still follow the original plan
The key point is that the Exocet warships above are actually retreating, which makes Baldy even more panicked.
"What's going on?"
The bald man yelled, "Run a few times. How can insects bite you if you fly so high..."
There were several flying ships in the sky that pulled out long jets in the air, forming a huge red jet arrow pointing to the city center.
The instructions were clear, telling all commandos to act according to the plan.
The bald man couldn't help but curse again: "Fuck it, if the situation is not right, just retreat quickly. You really don't treat us as human beings."
Professional soldiers are there to make money. It is impossible to say that they have a high level of awareness.
When the bald man found that something was not right, he started to complain.
The other commandos also followed suit and cursed.
Only Gao Xuan remained silent. The military leaders had their reasons for making such a decision. Whether it was right or wrong would depend on the outcome of the battle.
Twenty thousand commandos were just left in Raccoon City. The situation was really not good.
Although Gao Xuan's spiritual power is strong, it is not omnipotent. Especially this complex electromagnetic environment has a strong interference on spiritual power.
Unless he used his powerful sword intent to directly break through the electromagnetic shield, he would be exposed.
The Book of Omniscience does not say what the other Zerg's status is or what abilities it has.
A gold-level advanced intelligent life form, whether it is an insect or a human, is extremely terrifying.
Gao Xuan also has to be extremely careful.
The changes in Raccoon City were actually good news for him, as they proved that the Zerg wanted to fight in Raccoon City.
The electromagnetic net spread all over the place, and it was obvious that there were powerful thought waves that were combined and mobilized. The owner of the thought waves was most likely the golden Zerg.
The more power the other party used, the more traces would be exposed. Now he only needed to wait and observe silently.
The bald man was not satisfied with Gao Xuan's silence: "Number One, say something."
"What are you saying? Are you cursing the military brass?"
Gao Xuan said: "It's seven o'clock in the morning, and there are still ten hours until sunset. If I were you, I would rush to the meeting point before sunset."
"We have night vision goggles, so we're not afraid of the sunset." The bald man disagreed.
"It's not that they are afraid of the dark, it's that insects become very agitated at night." Gao Xuan explained.
The bald man ignored Gao Xuan and asked the other team members: "If our armor's batteries are fully activated, we can run 500 kilometers. If we retreat, we can leave Raccoon City faster."
“It’s probably more dangerous outside the city.”
The princess was in no mood to act like a woman at this time. She analyzed seriously, "Escape from the battlefield will be punished by military law. Besides, we still have 20,000 comrades here. We can also get reinforcements here."
The reason was so powerful that everyone was convinced.
"Medium speed ahead."
The bald man didn't even look at Gao Xuan and gave the order directly.
Gao Xuan found it a little funny. He followed the bald man slowly, watching him giving orders and adjusting the formation.
The electromagnetic net blocks wireless technology, making means such as drone reconnaissance and radar scanning ineffective.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked around vigilantly.
After walking for a while, the bald man suddenly remembered something. He stared at Gao Xuan and said, "How did you know there were bugs ambushing in the building?"
"Intuition." Gao Xuan replied.
This answer obviously did not satisfy the bald man, because Gao Xuan had discovered the plasma beetle in advance and reminded him to launch the battleship.
But if Gao Xuan didn't say anything, he had no choice. Not to mention Gao Xuan's military rank, he was just an observer, so he didn't have to obey his orders.
The bald man was a little breathless: "At this time, you are still pretending to be mysterious. You can't live without us."
"It's not that bad."
Gao Xuan found that the bald soldiers were too lazy and became lazy when they encountered problems. They had no fighting spirit at all.
This is of course a normal state. After all, others are just trying to make money. With such high risks, it is natural to be dissatisfied when encountering uncontrollable situations.
In the commercial era, each star region has no loyalty to the alliance, not to mention how individuals can have a strong sense of identity with a huge star region.
Because of their employment relationship, Baldy and his men have no sense of honor.
For a combat organization, the most important thing should not be interests, but a sense of honor.
Without a sense of honor, there is no belief. Without belief, it can only be called a gang, not an organization.
Gao Xuan had no problem with bald people. This was the norm and this was what ordinary people were like.
However, Baldy and the others' current situation is not very favorable to themselves.
Gao Xuan patiently said to Baldy and the others: "We are not fighting for others now, we are fighting for ourselves. We cannot hesitate at this time, let alone be discouraged.
"Only with a firm will can you survive."
The bald man wanted to refute, but Gao Xuan's calm words were very powerful. He also understood that what the other party said made sense.
At this time, blaming others will only make you die faster.
The bald man sighed and said, "You are right."
He said to the other members of the raid, "Cheer up, we're going home together."
Many of the commandos were veterans, and they were trying to cheer themselves up.
Gao Xuan said: "I'm exploring the way ahead. You can survive if you follow me. I promise."
The bald man thought for a moment and said, "Okay, we trust you. The lives of our brothers are in your hands."
Gao Xuan smiled. He would not take the bald man's nice words seriously.
He made his words very clear, and if the other party didn't believe it, that was their problem.
Although the electromagnetic network covers a large area, Gao Xuan's spiritual power can roam in the gaps of the electromagnetic network and flow in all directions.
There are indeed a large number of Zerg lurking underground, but they all have a unified command and will not attack indiscriminately.
The electromagnetic net will interfere with human wireless communications, but it will not affect the Zerg's thought waves.
Gao Xuan led his team to choose the place with the least insects. After walking for more than an hour, they did not encounter any Zerg.
Baldy and others were all smiling and kept praising Gao Xuan for his abilities.
Anyway, nice words don't cost anything. As long as Gao Xuan can take them away safely, even if he kneels down and calls him daddy, that's fine.
However, there are too many Zerg.
The further they advanced, the more Zerg appeared. A battle inevitably broke out.
A large number of mantises rushed over like a tide, instantly filling the commandos' vision.
The bald man couldn't help cursing, "I told you not to move forward. The bugs are obviously queuing up in the city center waiting to eat!"
He also shouted: "Run."
Gao Xuan pulled out a pair of swords from his back. The four-foot-long swords weighed thirty kilograms.
He didn't look back, but just made a beautiful sword dance with his two swords and shouted, "Follow me."
There were probably tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of the fast-knife mantises on the opposite side. The mantis squatting there with its legs bent was about 1.5 meters tall.
The densely packed giant mantises all stared at the commandos with their strange compound eyes.
Facing such a sea of insects, Gao Xuan's figure, wielding two swords and charging forward bravely, looked so lonely and so weak. And also had a sense of tragic determination.
Baldhead and other commandos were all stunned. Baldhead shouted, "Damn, big brother, you are so brave!"
He drew his sword and howled, "Brothers, run!"
