Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 16 Army of the Dead

"Bang bang bang..."

Before Qin Xu could explain, there was a faint sound of gunshots behind him.

At the same time, Qin Xu felt that the things in front were moving, and they were moving faster and faster. They were bypassing him and flying towards the camp.

"No, they went around. It seems that not only can I sense them, but they can also sense my position. They deliberately lured me there, then bypassed me and attacked the camp."

Countless possibilities flashed through Qin Xu's mind in an instant.

"Follow me. Let's go back to camp now. I hope it's not too late."

"it is good."

As Qin and Xu began to return the same way, the other party's actions became obviously more anxious.

On the other side, a large number of deformed monsters began to sweep towards the temporary camp like a tide.

Almost all the scientists on the Mozi research ship were present, and the vigilant sentries had already sounded the alarm when they saw a monster moving towards their camp.

On the one hand, this alarm bell alerted everyone in the camp to draw their weapons. On the other hand, it was like the enemy's charging horn. A large number of deformed monsters emerged from every corner of the ruins of the city.

The moment Yu Minghai saw the enemy clearly, he pushed back Hu Yiyi who was trying to stick his head out from behind.
"Uh...what are you doing."

The next second, Hu Yiyi's eyes were covered by Yu Minghai, and the next second, the sound of bullets exploding in Hu Yiyi's ears.

A deformed monster that sneaked up to the camp was shot in the head several times.

The next second, Hu Yiyi, who looked confused, was picked up. While being held by the princess, she glanced at the situation outside and fainted immediately.

"Hold!"

Feeling that Hu Yiyi in his arms was shaking around like a puppet with its strings cut off, Yu Minghai cursed in anger.

He didn't take Hu Yiyi back and hung her on him.

Picking up his automatic rifle, he didn't look for any cover. He just walked wherever he had a clear view and shot wildly at the monster wave.

"Bang bang bang!"

All those who had weapons in their hands, whether they were scientists or the accompanying army soldiers, did not escape. They all drew their guns and started to fight back.

"Impossible, impossible! We have detected it countless times, and there is no sign of life under the ruins!"

A scientist said in disbelief while firing a pistol.

After learning the lessons from the Alpha planet, the scientists on the scientific research ship Mozi have made it a top priority to find out possible intelligent creatures.

Just because I knew something might be hidden in such a huge city ruins, I used a super-powerful life detector to scan it over and over again.

Since they have moved here from the headquarters of the United Nations, you can know how much work the people on the Mozi research ship have done.

After so much preparation, they were still attacked, which made many scientists collapse.

"No! There is no life information, they are dead things! They are dead things!"

"What are you talking about? They have already attacked us, and this is still a dead thing!"

There was a scientific researcher who was hiding behind a bunker and shooting outside, while yelling angrily at the scientific researcher next to him.

"But it's true! There's nothing wrong with our equipment, look!"

The scientific researchers pointed the life detector at the hundreds of deformed monsters in front of them. They were obviously alive, but the detector showed that there was no life in front of them.

"Damn it, this is indeed a country of idealism!"

The scientist couldn't help but curse.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Having learned the lessons of Planet Alpha, even though everyone was convinced that there was no life on the planet, they still chose to set up a rack of heavy weapons in the temporary camp.

Even the newly researched blue laser weapons are equipped here. Six blue laser cannons that can rotate in all directions fire at full power. Each burst of Tweet Tweet fire continuously cuts through a blank area in the monster tide.

But even so, the continuous wave of monsters still has no end in sight.

There are a total of 900 scientists on the Mozi research ship and 200 marines in the camp. At this moment, the marines are at the front row with full firepower.

But this is not a tower defense game. The enemies can only rush over along a fixed path. They are now in the middle of the ruins of the city.

"Attention all, heaven!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deformed monster fell from the sky above the ruins. It grabbed the head of a scientific researcher and twisted it.

The researcher wanted to fight back with a pistol, but his neck was broken before he could pull the trigger.

The deformed monster greedily sucked the last bit of life force from the dead researcher.

But its motionless behavior was obviously seeking death, and soon a bullet hit his head while he was eating.

More and more deformed monsters fell from the sky. More and more, the camp was screaming, but every scream was short, because the neck was broken quickly after the scream.

"Support, we need support!"

"Already providing support!"

"what?"

"Rumble..."

There was a sudden tremor in the ruins of the city, and many scientific researchers fell to the ground before they could stand firm.

A frigate orbiting the Forsaken Planet opened fire. Each bombing of the level 2 railgun would set off a wave of air around the camp that was like a meteorite impact, blowing the deformed monsters heading towards the camp into a pile of minced meat.

"Rumble..."

There was another round of bombardment from the ship-borne railgun, and the entire underground ruins were shaken by the bombardment again.

The scientific researchers were unable to stand firmly. On the one hand, they continued to shoot at the deformed monsters that kept coming.

"These bastards of the space army are carrying out orbital bombardment of the planet while we are still down there!"

"Stop talking. The other party is obviously not targeting our side. If it weren't for us, this place would have been blown up!"

"Doesn't that mean..."

"Rumble..."

"We are already surrounded by monsters? Up, down, left, and right!"

"Rumble..."

Under constant orbital bombardment, everyone needs to turn up the volume to the top.

"No, there are too many monsters..."

Some people have already given up. Looking up, they can see that the monster has no head at a glance, and they really have no desire to fight.

"do not give up!"

Just when he said that, someone else poured cold water on him.

"This is a huge city that can accommodate hundreds of billions of people. If these monsters are the people who have been erased, then there is no possibility for us to get out..."

The person who told him not to give up almost gave up when the other person said that.

"Can not give up!"

Yu Minghai is the only Space Force soldier here. The pressure test of the Space Force is much more difficult than the test for scientific research astronauts, which is known as the most difficult test in the world.

At this moment, he was carrying the unconscious Hu Yiyi on his back, carrying an automatic rifle, and shot all the monsters that tried to get close to him with a very high hit rate.

He alone is almost more powerful than several Marines.

Seeing his divine performance that day, and seeing that he could kill like this with a person on his back, coupled with his thunderous roar.

Everyone's morale suddenly rose, and the bang-bang-bang gunfire became intensive again.

Suddenly, above a steel bar inserted diagonally on the ground, a deformed monster plunged straight towards the most conspicuous Yu Minghai.

"Watch out for your head!"

Directly above was Yu Minghai's blind spot. Hearing the shouts of a scientific researcher next to him, Yu Minghai's heart almost jumped out of his chest as he raised his head.

"boom!"

With just one shot, an automatic rifle bullet from a hundred meters away hit the head of the rapidly falling deformed monster. What hit Yu Minghai's face was a pool of green liquid.

Yu Minghai wiped his face casually and looked in the direction of the shooting. Qin Xu had already rushed back with Chen Xiaomeng, holding an automatic rifle in one hand and aiming in Yu Minghai's direction.

"Everyone!"

Hearing Qin Xu's voice, especially the group of scientific researchers who were led by Qin Xu out of the Alpha underground city, immediately looked over.

"Everyone, follow me immediately. If you don't follow me, if you die, don't blame me for not saving you!"

"what are you doing?!"

Yu Minghai watched Qin Xu pull Chen Xiaomeng and rush directly into the monster wave single-handedly. He was stunned for a moment, and a figure unconsciously appeared in his mind.

"Come back! What are you doing? Don't rush out!"

Seeing Qin Xu about to jump into the monster pile alone, Yu Minghai almost collapsed.

For a moment, his mind went completely blank, and he followed Qin Xu into the monster wave for no reason at all.

He wanted to save him. This time he was not in the rescue cabin. Such an act of risking death, at least he would go with him!

However, the expected surge of monsters did not happen. The deformed monsters backed away as if they had seen something terrifying.

While retreating, Qin Xu's head was being shot crazily row by row by the automatic rifle in Qin Xu's hand.

Qin Xu's existence is like a shark falling into a school of fish. No matter how large the number of fish is, you still have to take a detour when facing the shark. And even if it is eaten, other fish will not react in any way and will only Keep going around and around and around again.

"So, everyone, follow Qin Xu!"

Some scientists who had followed Qin Xu all the way up from the Alpha underground city immediately roared at everyone when they saw Qin Xu running towards the monster group and the monster group avoiding them.

Many people don't know why. They may not know Qin Xu, but they all know Yu Minghai, who is the only one from the Universe Army here.

When comparing the Space Army to the Army, one is superior to the other. If the other side has already rushed, then they shouldn’t even think about it.

"Chong Chong, rush up for me! If you don't break through now, you will never have another chance!"

Army officers shouted at other soldiers.

"Roger that!"

The army soldiers rushed, so other scientific researchers had no reason to hesitate.

Even though there were a lot of deformed monsters ahead, he still chose to follow Qin Xu and jump down directly.
