the only savior

Chapter 886 Unexpected Rescue
To complain in my heart is to complain, Tony is still rational.

He also knew that the kind of situation he thought could not happen.

Being able to send myself and others to the moon is already the result of exhausting a lot of resources.

What Star Troopers and the like, just think about it.

That's something that can only be seen in movies, and with Shui Lanxing's current technology, it can't reach that level.

After briefly disposing of the corpse of their companion, the two wiped away the blood around them, and at the same time completed the final data upload work.

So far, they have done what they should do, and the rest is just resigned to fate.

"I originally thought that the army of worms was about to kill us...Fortunately, they didn't seem to find us. It seems that this newly born larva has not been connected to the spiritual network of the swarm..."

"Otherwise, when it sees us, the bugs on the new Apollo 1 side will know our existence."

In the room, Otos said happily.

He and Tony had already put on their space suits at this time, and they were going to go out later to dismantle some structures of the base and restore them to the original vehicle.

The moon base itself is mainly expanded by vehicles, which means that it can be moved.

Although the speed of this movement is very slow, if the bug comes, the two still want to start the vehicle and try to escape, and make a final struggle.

After all, if you can live, no one wants to die, let alone wait for death by doing nothing.

"Otos, you seem to know them very well, what do you mean by the spiritual network of the swarm?"

Tony asked curiously.

"It's hard to understand. We have encountered these monsters before, so we have done some research on them. The so-called mental network is actually what we often call hive thinking, just like bees and ants..."

"Hive mind..."

Tony also broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, and a strong sense of dread came to his heart.

Fortunately, this larva did not form a link with other swarms, otherwise the two of them would have been completely cold at this time.

"But... Odell has always been with us, when did he get parasitized...?"

The security officer Ottos also showed a puzzled expression. He hadn't figured out this question until now.

After pondering for a moment, Tony gave the answer.

"It's the vent. When the new Apollo 1 landed, we detected a blockage in the vent. At that time, I asked Odell to check it, but there was no problem. Maybe he was caught at that time... ..."

He sighed at this point and didn't continue talking.

Otos followed in silence, and the two stopped the topic in a tacit understanding.

After tidying up, they reported the situation to the Aerospace Center, then opened the valve and walked out to start dismantling the base vehicle.

Obviously it was built just yesterday, but the world is unpredictable, and it has to be dismantled the next day.

The two of them worked together to get busy. In this airless environment, everything around them seemed so weird and quiet.

In space, there is endless coldness and darkness.

Cooperating with the current situation, Tony and Ottos have a feeling that they have been abandoned by the whole world.

This is the backside of the moon, and they couldn't even take a last look at their parent star, they could only wait for the verdict of fate in this solitude.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook a few times, and the surrounding gravel shook, as if something underground was approaching quickly.

Seeing this scene, the two who were still packing their things suddenly became alert.

They looked at each other, and even through the thick space suit hood, they seemed to be able to clearly see the frightened expression on each other's faces.

"They're here!"

Saying this sentence almost in unison, the two hurriedly dropped the things in their hands, turned around and ran towards the entrance valve of the base vehicle.

Just now I was glad that I was not discovered by the insect swarm, but in the blink of an eye, those guys had already come to the door.

"What should we do now! Area B has not been connected yet, and it contains the only supplies we have left!"

"Don't worry about that! Start the car quickly! We must leave immediately! Those bugs may appear at any time!"

Othos glanced out at the land through the window.

The tremors there became more and more obvious, as if countless bugs would come out of it in the next second.

Gritting his teeth hard, he no longer cared whether the base vehicle had shrunk or not, adjusted the speed to the maximum, and started driving in the opposite direction from where the new Apollo 1 was.

The speed of the base vehicle is not fast, it can only be slightly better than the lunar vehicle.

Considering that many loads are not carried now, the speed is slightly faster than expected, but it is still limited.

After all, this thing was built as a base at the beginning, and the environment of use is a place like the moon, so it is impossible to have too fast speed.

Now, even though they have already set off early, from the perspective of the two of them, the speed of the base car is really no different from that of a turtle.

The bugs in the rear had already drilled out of the ground, but they only drove less than 300 meters on their side, and it was impossible to escape at this speed.

"Turn! Turn! Ahead is Longinus' magnetic field chaos! We're likely to stall there!"

Tony screamed anxiously when he saw the direction Ottos was heading.

But there was no way, there were bugs in the left, right and back directions just now, they had no choice but to be forced to retreat here.

"They're already coming! Can't turn the corner now! Fight!!"

Ottos gritted his teeth hard, activated the autopilot mode, then got down from the driver's seat, and picked up his machine gun.

"What are you doing!"

Seeing this, Tony hurriedly wanted to go forward to control the base vehicle, but was stopped by the other party.

"Take this and prepare to fight!"

Othos threw him an identical machine gun, motioning for him to fight the enemy with him.

But Tony's spacesuit is not the same as Othos' battle suit.

His is a standard aerospace suit, the white and fat one, very bulky.

Even if he managed to pick up the heavy machine gun, the design of the space suit meant that he could not effectively pull the trigger to engage the enemy, so he could only stand at the back with a helpless face.

How could Ottos care about him at this time, he was observing the situation outside through the glass of the base vehicle.

Those swarms ran extremely fast, and caught up with them in an instant.

"Boom!"

A dull crash sounded from the rear hatch, followed by a series of identical sounds.

"Dong dong dong dong dong dong!"

The sound came from all directions, and the entire base vehicle began to shake, feeling like it would fall over at any time.

The two people in the car were terrified, and their hearts were beating fast.

They have never been so tense as they are now.

The surrounding titanium alloy walls have been seriously deformed, as if countless ferocious monsters will rush in and eat them in the next moment.

"Bah!"

There was the sound of metal being torn apart, a black sickle pierced through the wall, and a sickle insect rushed in head-on.

Perhaps the signal transmission equipment was destroyed, and the images that everyone at the NASA Aerospace Center could see could only stay at this moment.

Looking at the frozen black worm, everyone was speechless, the environment was too depressing.

The desperation experienced by the two people in the car made them empathize with the whole process of watching the live broadcast.

At this time, Lu En had already returned to the command center, looking at this video, his heart was pierced.

Not only because the moon program he and Professor Houston had established failed completely.

It is also because Otos was his former subordinate and has a deep comrade-in-arms friendship.

Now that he learned the news of the other party's death, it made him feel sad for a while.

"Is it still too late..."

Lu En sighed secretly, blaming himself in his heart.

Just now, he left the command hall and went to his own exclusive plane.

There, through special communication equipment, they contacted a person who was far away on the other side of the water blue star.

This person is Hu Hu from the Dissonance Department.

The two are both responsible for handling abnormal events in their respective countries. Although they don't communicate often on weekdays, they still maintain certain contact methods with each other.

Previously, Rune obtained and shared some information about heterogeneous species from the other party in this way.

And the reason why he took the initiative to contact the other party at this time does not mean that he thinks that the Department of Dissonance has the strength to solve the crisis they encountered on the moon.

They are also big countries of the blue star, although the other party has gone farther than himself in the extraordinary field, Lu En doesn't think they have the ability to go to the moon for rescue.

His main purpose is still the mysterious organization that keeps in close contact with the other party - the Star Alliance.

For a long time, there was one thing that Lu En regretted very much, that is, he did not establish contact with the organization that controlled the mysterious and extraordinary power.

He only knew some information about alien species through the transmission of the Department of Dissonance, which made him feel very passive.

Fortunately, after receiving his request, Hu Hu quickly agreed, saying that he could tell the Star Alliance about it.

But whether the other party will agree to the rescue, and whether the rescue will be successful, he cannot guarantee.

And Hu Hu's decisive agreement was also expected by Lu En.

Although the moon landing plan this time is hidden, it involves a huge amount after all, and it is impossible to keep it absolutely secret, just like the Manhattan Project back then.

Besides, both Lu En and Hu Hu knew that this time the moon landing plan was of great importance.

Because its purpose is to explore the transcendent.

Therefore, most of the participants in this plan support the "heterogeneous information sharing plan".

If there is an irreparable loss in the moon landing plan this time, the group of people who support the moon landing plan will be hit by the opposition, which will directly affect the signing of the "Heterogeneous Information Sharing Plan".

Such a scene, I believe that the Department of Dissonance is also unwilling to see.

Therefore, at such a critical moment, Lu En immediately thought of Hu Hu, an ally who was not considered an ally.

Fortunately, the result was also pleasing to him, and the other party agreed to his request as expected.

But this is actually just the beginning.

Even with the help of the Covenant, it does not mean that the survivors of the new Apollo team can be saved.

After all, what happened this time was too sudden, and it was on the moon. Even the Star Alliance may not be able to succeed.

Although the other party possesses incredible and extraordinary strength, he has also demonstrated unparalleled strength.

But that is in outer space, a forbidden zone of life that humans cannot touch.

Who can guarantee that the other party can complete the rescue in this environment?
However, at this time, Lu En can only be treated as a living horse doctor.

Such a huge amount of manpower and material resources has been invested, and the new Apollo team has only landed on the moon for two days, and has not brought back any valuable information.

If it is destroyed at this point, the blow to people like myself is really too great.

The "Heterogeneous Information Sharing Plan" that was originally decided to sign may also be canceled directly because of this incident.

If it weren't for the previous battles, the existence of the Star Alliance showed the strength to crush the Zerg.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, Lu En would not rush to contact the Department of Dissonance.

But now, when he returned to the command hall.

When he saw the ferocious black worm on the big screen.

He knew that he was still one step too late.

There are not so many miracles in this world, and these people are probably overwhelmed by the bug swarm.

Even if people from the Star Alliance can arrive now, it will be too late.

The new Apollo project and the Longinus project have completely failed, and I may not be able to be the director of the Hurricane Bureau.

But surprisingly, Lu En didn't feel unacceptable as imagined, on the contrary, he felt a sense of relief.

The chief is under too much pressure.

Not only to block and contain those alien species, but also to participate in the conspiracy calculations of those politicians, it really made him a little fed up.

It was clear that the crisis was in sight, and the threat of alien species was imminent, but those people still couldn't see the situation clearly.

Even the most basic cooperation cannot be achieved, resulting in the delay in signing heterogeneous information sharing plans.

Of course, maybe it's not that they can't see the situation clearly, they just don't want to part with their ridiculous interests.

Maybe when the destruction really comes, they will feel regret.

But at that time, is regret useful?

If he could have achieved heterogeneous information sharing earlier, he would not have encountered such a passive situation now.

Lun shook his head.

He was just a little unwilling, and wanted to kill the enemy, but he was powerless.

It's just that it's useless to think about it now.

He needs to tell several other supporters about this matter first, at least let the other party prepare for the countermeasures after the plan collapses.
