Chapter 265 I promise

"Stop moving forward, turn off all vehicles, and enter a state of silence. Wei, make sure the flying vehicles are invisible. Mia casts a spell to create small mounds, only building the side facing the insect swarm to block their observation line. Frye. Forest is sneaking, wandering around the outside, don't get too close to the insect swarm, Saff is ready to attack at any time, Moria is ready for long-range burst shooting, Miriti protects the convoy, don't use the dark sky casually, don't attack without orders. The above are all the orders, understand ?"

"Understood." Everyone's answers were concise and clear. No one was joking at this time, not even Lin Jing. Jokes also depend on the time. Joking at part of the time regardless of the occasion will only make people feel annoying.

"Confirm that the communication facilities are open, test, test, received? Very good, start taking action now."

"Boom", the ground began to shake slightly, and a steep arc-shaped slope slowly rose from the ground, growing upward for seven or eight meters before stopping.Looking from one side of the convoy, I saw a towering earth wall in front of me. The earth wall extended to the top of my head. I was worried that if it collapsed, the convoy would be buried underneath.But from the other side, you can see the brown mounds that can be seen everywhere on the desolate plains. The arc just wraps the convoy inside, ensuring that the convoy cannot be seen from the other side.

"Friesen, Friesen, received the answer. Okay, you are responsible for observing the movements of the reconnaissance team outside the mound. Once you find the insect swarm reconnaissance team appearing in your field of vision, report back immediately."

"learn."

"Wei, help me switch the channel, face all members, test, test, confirm that the reception is normal. Don't be nervous, everything is within the plan, it is just to avoid a patrol of insect swarms, there will be many similar ones in the future If the situation arises, everyone should be mentally prepared." Xiuer sat on the roof of the car, pressing the small device on his ear with his hand, and said with a normal expression, "Actually, there is nothing to worry about, it is just a small patrol, and we will be able to do it within ten seconds. Destroy them all and just stay calm."

"coming."

"Okay, no one should act without authorization." Xiuer stared at the two-dimensional image projected from the bracelet and left the control room. Wei could no longer produce three-dimensional images as before and could only project a three-dimensional image in front of Xiuer. The light curtain usually displays the map, and half of it displays the screen, "The first smuggling operation begins."

In the picture, the most common groundworm has six legs on the ground and flies with its body close to the ground. The mounds have already appeared within their field of vision, but for such mounds, both the insects and the queen behind them have long been aware of them. I was so used to it that I didn't even bother to look at it. I just ran forward along the established route. When I passed by the mound, the two sides were still more than 100 meters apart.

"We are not out of danger yet and continue to remain in a latent state."

There are only fifty patrols, and they do not pose any threat to the convoy. However, they are extremely scattered. They are not as compact as the main force, but are separated by at least two or three meters between each one. Jumping forward, the team behind them dragged on for a long time, as unorganized as a group of untrained recruits.Such a formation not only maximizes the scope of reconnaissance, but also seems to have words like "Come and destroy me" written on the face. People can't help but want to destroy them when they see it, but Shuer still has Rational, knowing that once you do this, exposure is the only result.

No matter how fast you move, the fighting method of the insect swarm is too special. If you are in Parvatiga, you can completely eat this scout troop. By the time the headquarters determines that the scout is damaged, the convoy will have already reached its destination. .But the scouts of the swarm are directly connected to the queen. Any death of any one will immediately alert their queen, without even a time delay.Even if everyone moves fast enough so that the killed scouts cannot find the murderer, just like Mia and Duck once did, it is of no use. In this world, once a scout dies, except for the cave-dwelling spider, all It can only be humans.Therefore, the only way not to attract the Queen's attention is to avoid being discovered by the bug scouts.

"Wei, mark the field of view of the insect swarm. Perfect. The stowaway is successful. Everyone returns to the team. Mia removes the obstruction. Wei, the convoy starts."

Behind the scenes, the scout team of the insect swarm has long been lost to sight. There is a foggy darkness, and the insect swarms are coming and going in a hurry, giving people a feeling like they were in a dream just now. The surroundings have returned to the original silence, only the plains are covered every moment. The wind that refused to stop every moment was still howling.

"Hurry up and get on the road quickly." Xiuer remained motionless and urged, "We have to compete with the insect patrols for time. Don't think that everything is over. It has just begun. There are still more patrols to encounter later. Here you go, Wei."

The scale of the map is reduced, and the location and route of the surrounding patrols are clearly displayed on the map.Within a radius of ten kilometers in front of the green light dot representing the convoy, there are several small red dots moving rapidly. Each red dot moves in a completely different direction, covering almost the entire space around the convoy. "Duck and I were both wrong. We are used to using human thinking to judge the insect swarm, but in fact, the insect swarm's scouts do not start from their main force. There is no unclear command and poor communication between their different units. There is no need to consider where they are mobilized from, as long as they are bugs, patrol teams like these are mobilized on the spot from various mines and supporter transfer stations."

"Because of this, when we mistakenly thought that the scouts of the insect swarm were following the large army and thought that their patrol was still a hundred kilometers away, they had actually laid out a patrol net on the plain, Wei. .”

The scale of the map is reduced again, and the display radius is expanded to 38 kilometers. Only then can we clearly see that dozens of red dots, with arrows representing their direction of travel, have compiled a fine network on the map, patrolling the edge of the network. The convoy is like a bold insect that has successfully stepped into the gap in the net with one leg. Every step it takes after that must be cautious. Once it steps on the patrol net, it will usher in a catastrophic ending.

"But don't worry too much. Just follow the orders. Dak and I have developed several routes that can avoid the entanglement of the patrol to the greatest extent until we cross the end of the enemy's main force."

Yes, at the end, the swarms are not endless, at least the swarms that participated in the attack on the human fortress this time are not. Although the number exceeds expectations, the total number of the main force of the three swarms is likely to be as high as 50 million, but when they are divided into When the three teams advanced slowly in a dense formation, there was still an end to the team.

Twenty kilometers, the main team in the middle is the longest, but it is only twenty kilometers long. As for the other two, they are only more than ten kilometers long, and they are the same as the millions of insects that were besieging the mutated spider mother seen in the original video. Group troops are simply not comparable.

"There are two difficulties in this journey. First, how to penetrate the patrol net and maintain the forward speed without being discovered. This behavior needs to be maintained for a long time, five hours? Six hours? I can’t be sure, because I can’t determine when we can meet the main force of the swarm.”

Xiuer was right, this period of time would be extremely long, because there are still more than 100 kilometers away from the swarm, if both sides advance at a normal speed, they will be able to pass the head of the swarm in two to three hours.But the problem is that the normal speed cannot be maintained. During the 100-odd kilometers, the patrol team is full of bugs. The convoy has to stop for more than ten minutes or even twenty minutes to avoid the scouts, which seriously affects the forward speed. When will the troops of the line meet?No one can be sure about this. We can only say that everything will be decided by the actual situation.

"Do you think this is difficult? No, no, no, this is just a warm-up. In the past few hours, we have a large space to avoid the insect swarms laterally. We have reconnaissance aircraft that can cover dozens of kilometers around us as eyes, and we can always Paying attention to the movements of each patrol team and using the time difference to sneak in and infiltrate is a bit tricky, but it is not an impossible task." Shuer's voice rang in everyone's ears through the communicator, "Haha, I said, This is just the beginning, after the warm-up is completed, it will be the real test, Wei, the main image."

As soon as the image changed, the frontline reconnaissance plane transmitted back the image of the insect swarm troops.Around the large army, countless empty jellyfish floated scatteredly, moving forward at the same speed as the army. The formation of the empty jellyfish had no formation at all, and was very loosely distributed on both sides and overhead of the team. The stealth probes could not be seen at all. It is impossible to get close. If you get even a little closer, the invisibility will be broken by the empty jellyfish, and you will be besieged by a large group of long-range bugs below, and instantly turn into scrap metal.

"Once they intersect, our field of view will become quite narrow. We can only observe the small area between the two troops. It will be more difficult to calculate the patrol's movements. At the same time, everyone's detour space will also be severely compressed, and we can There are fewer places to hide than now, but the patrol team is not affected. It can be said that they can pass each other for up to an hour, but this hour is a real nightmare. Once discovered, the main force will attack from both sides. Everyone should Know what the result is.”

"The bad news has been told, and now I can give you something to look forward to. Once you get through that nightmare time and cross the main force of the swarm, it will become much easier. A reconnaissance plane went around from the side to investigate. , although there are patrols behind the insect swarm troops, they are very few in number and will hardly affect us. We can pass at full speed, of course, provided that everyone is still alive at that time. Hahaha, the last sentence is just a joke, Don’t worry, everyone, just do your best. I promise everyone that we will eventually be able to break through the blockade of the insect swarm and reach our destination.”

"Huh?" Several high-level mercenaries looked at Xiuer at the same time, guarantee?How can such a thing be guaranteed?

"Heh." Xiure showed a faint smile and shook his head mysteriously.
