My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1124. Insect Swarm? Good, good, good! An e-sports game that doesn't require vision, start!
"I still think you guys made it a little too ugly."

In the busy repair site of the solar boat, Lao Qin, who was sitting in the awning above the sand dunes, blew a smoke ring and couldn't help complaining to the horse king who was checking the blueprints beside him:
"You cut off at least one third of the good solar boat, and the remaining ones are not beautiful at all."

"What do you know? Do you know what a modular system is?"

Facing the complaints of Qin Ye, an amateur, the angry Ma Wang Ye who had just woken up in the morning said without even raising his head:

“It looks ugly now because the final shell packaging has not yet been completed. The hull parts that have been cut open need to be further selected and reconstructed. It will take some time. In three to five days, you will be able to see the brand new Origin Pioneer.

This is a plan that our group of design experts came up with after many rounds of hard work. The blueprint is a concept spacecraft that we are trying to develop for future air combat systems. The real model has been blown by wind before, so there is absolutely no problem with the aerodynamic shape. "

"is it?"

Lao Qin took a puff of his cigarette suspiciously, and then looked towards the makeshift maintenance site beside the sand sea in front of him.

When they went to seize the Millennium Quicksand, they also pulled over a series of maintenance equipment prepared by the Songhai people that was placed there. After using the data left by the Eden Program to activate the spacecraft's autonomous mechanic, the maintenance and reorganization of the Origin Pioneer was put on the agenda.

Today is the fourth day since the start of maintenance. Under the command of the bosses, the autonomous repair robots, which are an important part of the Solar Ship's damage control system, have cut off the severely damaged areas of the Solar Ship according to the new drawings, and the area planning inside the new hull is also being carried out simultaneously.

As for the rebels who were captured before, they are now working as slaves on the construction site under the supervision of General Bhopal's soldiers.

They are responsible for using repair tools to send the cut-off hull wreckage to the other side area for disassembly and processing to create temporary outer armor for the newly planned hull.

Because the cut-off area accounts for one-third of the volume of the Solar Ship, there is plenty of material available. However, cutting the Origin Alloy can only be done by the explorers using the Solar Ship's own maintenance machinery, except for autonomous machines. This has led to slow progress in the project.

Lao Qin didn't quite understand what the modular system under the Creator's specifications was. In his simple and naive understanding, this thing was like playing with building blocks. The Creator used various modules to build the shape of the solar boat, and now the explorers were trying to use the same modules to make the boat in front of them look different.

This sounds difficult.

But in fact, the most important power module for the solar ship on the spacecraft in front of us is intact. Just as the Eden program complained before, the easiest way to repair this ship is not to repair it, just remove the solar engine and build a shell in the factory, this thing can still fly!

It's just like once you have developed the most important energy module, all the other functions of the land cruiser you want will come naturally.

In addition to these guys who are busy working, there are also security personnel around the entire maintenance site. General Bhopal and his thousand men are the main defense force, as well as Lao Qin and some players who stayed here. The most important thing is the five "Desert Tiger" power armors left here.

Their huge and majestic bodies patrolled back and forth near the maintenance site, preventing the rebels who were forced to work from making the slightest movement. In the traditional concept of the Songhai people, these armed servants of the gods were synonymous with invincibility.

Of course, this is indeed the case. Except for the players who are not afraid of death and like to have fun, Lao Qin has never seen any natives of this world dare to charge into the power armor with their flesh.

"Master Qin, I just saw the latest battle report on the forum. The Millennium Quicksand has returned to Ptolemy's Royal City and recaptured Palace Mountain under the leadership of Lord Murphy. Our players are fighting to eliminate the cultists in the Royal City."

The leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry brothers who stayed here ran over on the sand and reported to Master Qin who was resting under the awning:

"Also, the 6,000 troops from the Port of Origin have already gathered at the Bom Oasis. Under the personal leadership of General Kuder, they will soon launch a 'Great Expedition' towards the rebellious oasis together with the various Songhai loyalist armies!
I think the main storyline of 3.0 is stable!"

"You should stop talking like a crow."

Lao Qin scoffed at this overly optimistic idea and said:

"The Hades Army in the Songhai legend has not appeared yet. How far have they come? Every large oasis has a Hades Pyramid, and every pilgrim family has its own Hades Pharaoh. They are all determined to rebel. Can these 'old ancestors' still sleep peacefully in the pyramids?

Even if the ancestors were loyal to the system of the Songhai Empire and did not participate in the rebellion of their unworthy descendants, when General Kuder led the players into the oasis, those underworld troops would definitely be awakened to defend the country.

I asked the little mummy for details before I came here!
This is the contract between the army of the underworld and the living. The dead protecting the living is a traditional feature of the Songhai people and it is a must-try.

In other words, the hardest part of the 'Great Expedition' is still to come.

It's easy to defeat the living rebels, but it's extremely difficult to capture the rebellious Oasis Pharaoh alive. No wonder the development team has launched a command sequence like 'Lord of the Underworld'. I think in the next stage, we will have to fight against the real 'scourge of the dead' in this world."

"Oh, Mr. Qin, you also know about the Undead Scourge. It seems that you are also a cool old man."

Lin stood beside him, with his hands on his hips, and said with a smile:
"But if you count the Millennium Quicksand and the Origin Pioneer that's lying in wait right now, we now have two sun ships, which means we are vastly ahead in terms of firepower.

What happened to the Scourge of the Undead?
Facing this fire from the sky, even the natural disasters have to lie there obediently. I feel that I have the advantage in this wave anyway."

Lao Qin did not answer. His attention was attracted by the strange shaking sand in the desert in front of him.

It seemed that something was quietly moving under the sea of ​​sand, which made Lao Qin frown.

He quickly pulled out his hot melt sword and stabbed it into the shaking sand pit, like a quick-eyed and quick-handed fish-spearman, accurately hitting the thing under the sand. When Lao Qin pulled out the sword, strange green blood oozed out from below into the sand.

Let Lin also notice this thing.

He stepped forward, pulled out an engineering shovel, and dug out something from under the sand. It was a strange gray worm, which looked somewhat similar to the scarab domesticated by the Songhai people, but its appearance was obviously more ferocious.

It has two crab-like claws on its fist-sized body and a scorpion-like barb on its tail.

“Is this some kind of local bug?”

He turned around and looked at Lao Qin, and said doubtfully:
"I heard that entomologist Terranova complain on the forum that there should only be two types of insects in the Millennium Sand Sea: scarabs and sandblasters. The problem is that this thing in front of me doesn't look like either of them."

Lao Qin still didn't answer.

He picked up the telescope at hand, rushed out of the shed, ran to the highest point of the nearby sand dune, and looked around with the telescope.

In the sand sea thousands of meters away from the solar boat repair area, strange "sand waves" like tides are rising. When he looks up into the sky through the telescope, he can see a group of strange black spots flying towards him under the sunlight.

"Zhao! Prepare your defense! The enemy is attacking!"

Master Qin cursed, then used the privileges of the Commander series to issue an order in the UI of all players present:
"The power armor formation will gather to the west to prepare to block the sandworms! The remaining players, pick up your weapons, there are enemies coming from the sky!" This order immediately set the players at the repair site into motion. The explorers also reacted quickly, dropping the repair machinery in their hands and running towards the most solid solar hull in the position. Eris, who was sleeping in a shed not far away, was awakened by the players who ran over.

This black winter wolf, who works for money, is one of the most important defensive forces in the repair position.

Another big boss, Lady Li Ji, is currently taking her "beauty sleep" in a biological cabin on the Sun Boat. She was exhausted from the previous life-saving mission.

Less than two minutes after Lao Qin issued the defense order, the strange "black clouds" in the sky had rushed into the repair position. When they were close enough, the players saw the true appearance of the clouds.

Those are insects flying in swarms!
It looks like an enlarged mosquito, with dragonfly-like elytra and wasp-like tail spikes, its body covered with gray-black chitinous carapace, and its intimidating compound eyes flashing strange light in the sun.

There were so many of them that they swooped down towards the repair position like a black cloud.

Those rebel laborers who disobeyed orders and did not follow the players into the hiding place screamed in fear and fled in all directions, but were wiped out in the first wave of air strikes by the flying insects. The screaming Songhai rebels were pierced by the claws of two flying insects and carried into the air, and then split in two as the others watched in shock.

The warm blood mixed with internal organs sprinkled on the hot sand like rain, making people feel like they had accidentally walked into a horror movie set.

Lin, who was leading the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to set up a mortar position on a high place, was startled. He turned around and yelled at the players behind him to speed up, but the next second, three flying insects swooped down towards their area with a sharp buzzing sound.

"Fuck you! Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Lin grabbed the Berserker rifle at hand and fired at the sky. The flying golden bullets pierced the head of the leading flying insect, causing green blood to splash. It fell on the bodies of several other players and caused serious corrosion. Those unlucky guys jumped up and down to take off their armor that was emitting white smoke.

But the remaining two flying insects dodged Lin's bullets with their graceful flying movements, and rushed towards the ground positions from the left and the right. However, Lin was a real "server boss" and was not afraid at all. He grinned and pulled out the chainsaw sword behind him, ready to rush forward to fight with a knife.

As a result, just as he rushed forward, he heard two gunshots behind him. The flying insect that was flying over was shot in the head on the spot. Its broken body rolled on the sand under the blessing of kinetic energy, and was stepped into the hot sand by the combat boots covered with exoskeleton.

Old Qin, who had completed the exoskeleton change, grabbed the trench gun that was emitting gunpowder smoke in his hand and glanced at the chaotic repair position. When he saw that the sand near the hull of the Origin Pioneer began to shake, he shouted:
"9 o'clock! 450 meters! One salvo! Quick!"

"Roger that!"

Lin and his brothers immediately squatted down to adjust the landing point of the mortar. A few seconds later, more than a dozen tubes fired at the same time, allowing the flying shells to draw neat arcs in the air and then plunge into the target area amid the whistling of the buzzer.

Those ground insects that had just emerged from the sand had no time to look around before they were blown up on their heads by a round of artillery fire. The grenades filled with gold powder were very powerful, and a single salvo blew away all the insects in that area.

But the real big trouble has now emerged outside the repair position.

In the yellow sand that rolled up like a sandstorm, a huge sandworm let out a hollow roar and tore through the hot sand, jumping out like a leaping fish. This horrible creature was the "moving disaster" in the thousand-year-old quicksand and was the disaster that the Songhai people feared the most.

The sandworm that was running towards the attack position was an adult, about fifty meters long, and its body was round like an enlarged maggot, but covered with extremely tough skin that allowed it to move freely under the sand like a snake, and its face looked like an oversized lamprey, which really made people's blood value drop wildly.

This guy's target is the Origin Pioneer which is being repaired. Although it is difficult to destroy the hull of the Sun Ship with the destructive power of the sandworms, allowing this guy to move around in the sand sea can easily cause a large area of ​​sand under the repair position to collapse.

Given the weight of the Sun Boat, once it gets stuck in the quicksand created by the sandworms, it will not be easy for players to fish it out.

"Ow!!!"

The desolate howl of wolves spread across the sea of ​​sand as the sandstorm rose. Seeing a living sandworm for the first time aroused Eris's interest in hunting.

The huge black winter wolf stepped on the hot sand and rushed into the dust raised by the sandstorm worms, followed closely by five power armors. Only epic combat units like them could participate in such a "battle of giants".

As for the other people on the repair position.
This damn swarm of insects has already begun to take shape. General Bhopal and his soldiers have begun to fight the swarm of insects on the battlefield. Lao Qin has also rushed in with more than 60 players.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle over the Origin Pioneer that crashed into the sand, and the huge hulls that were cut off served as natural cover and positions.

The continuous firing of melta guns and incendiary gold bullets allows the strange insects rushing out from the sky and the ground to experience the fun of headshots, and the explosions of constantly flying grenades and Panzerfaust rockets crossing the battlefield. If a prism tower or shield generator is erected outside the position, and two Thors are added, this scene will be similar to the scene of a certain hegemony game.

As a veteran commander, Lao Qin knew at the beginning of the war that he could not stop the strange insects coming from all directions with just a few people. Therefore, when the war just started, he sent a message for help on the forum.

Ms. Rose, the newly appointed "Development Group Network Director", keenly captured this line of information in the constantly updated data on the forum and quickly passed it to Murphy.

At this moment, the vampire lord had just finished playing charades with Lord Pa Ying and was preparing to inspect the Palace Mountain. After receiving this message, he raised his eyebrows.

"The repair station of the Origin Vanguard was attacked by something that looked like a swarm of insects? And wild giants like sandstorm worms were involved? Tsk, why do I feel like this is a trick? And since the swarm of insects has come, when will the 'Protoss technology' that I've been dreaming of be available to me?"

As Murphy spread his wings and flew towards the Millennium Quicksand which was continuously cruising in the sky, he temporarily wrote a set of mission texts and handed them to the omnipresent Ms. Rose, requesting her to publish them at the repair site.

When he arrived at the bridge, the Eden program was ready to provide support and plan the optimal route.

"This ship will arrive at the attack site in thirty minutes! However, the frequent use of solar bombardment in last night's battle has caused the engine to enter a low-power operation mode. This support will not be able to provide effective fire support."

Eden Program submitted the battleship report to Murphy in a calm tone. The Vampire Lord sat in the captain's seat in the empty command room. He shook his head and said:

"Get the Warmaster's weapons ready. I will be here as reinforcements! At the same time, send a command to Penny, asking her to conduct a patrol flight. In addition, there should be ten dragoons in the Millennium Quicksand's storage. Can they use the landing capsule for airdrop?"

"The specifications do not exceed the landing capsule's capacity limit. Your tactics are feasible!"

Eden gave an affirmative answer, and Murphy nodded and said:

"That's enough! What's about to happen next is the Protoss Dragoons vs. Zerg Drones. In our game "Real Alien World", you can even play the Star Wars. Wow, it's a really authentic experience.

Mannis, are you there?

Stop watching the show!

Wake up your ex-girlfriend who is sleeping in hiding. She will have to keep an eye on that place."
