Chapter 54 Flame Line of Defense

The short night was over. At this time, the Zhongzhou team members had already poured all the fuel and oil on the surface of the corpses of the engineer bugs on the gentle slope. Although it was impossible to spray fuel everywhere, there should be no reason to cause a large amount of fire. What's the problem, and at this time there is still more than a minute before the start of the fourth wave of attack, it seems that the time is just right.

When the other Zhongzhou team members walked up the fence, Zhang Cheng had just finished healing the skeleton soldiers, and Chen Yingxu had just taken back the remaining dozen automatic rifles on the gentle slope. The skeleton soldiers, who lost their mobility, ran to the pile of automatic rifles vigorously, and replaced the magazines one by one, very happy.

"Wang Jiahao, come here," Zhang Cheng, who was standing beside He Chuli, waved to Wang Jiahao.

When Wang Jiahao came to him, Zhang Cheng asked He Chuli, "Which direction?"

He Chuli raised his finger and pointed forward, at this time Zhang Cheng said to Wang Jiahao: "Use your mental power to scan in a straight line and follow this direction to see if there is any abnormality."

Wang Jiahao did not hesitate to follow Zhang Cheng's instructions to start the linear scan, and his mental power spread rapidly along the direction of He Chuli's finger just now. A few seconds later, Wang Jiahao frowned suddenly, and said in a voice: "Brotherhead, "

(really……)

It seems that He Chuli's feeling is not wrong. At this time, Wang Jiahao has shared the image with Zhang Cheng. From the image, it can be seen that behind the valley, there is a huge and distinctive insect like a king surrounded by many engineers. The worm looks like a huge dark brown sarcoma as a whole. Eight black protruding eyeballs are distributed in a semicircle at the front of the sarcoma. In the middle of the eyeballs, a vertically growing double-petal giant lip is wriggling, mucus It kept dripping from the lower corner of the giant lip, and it looked extremely disgusting. This is the leader of the Zerg with wisdom that is not inferior to that of humans, the leader bug.

The Zerg is not the supreme leader of the Zerg, but they have extremely high intelligence, and they can even lead other Zergs to fight like human commanders. If the Zerg is commanded by the Zerg, then the Zerg will become an elite army and deal a devastating blow to mankind. It seems that the Zhongzhou team has attracted enough attention from the Zerg, so this Zerg will personally go into battle and try to command the Zerg army Take Whiskey Outpost.

The brain worm does not have any attack ability, its only powerful weapon is its own intelligence, it is hard to imagine what is loaded in its huge body, so that the brain worm needs to carry the worm to do it even to move, and it The only function of the severely degenerated tentacles is to prop up the body so that the carrier worm can get under it to support its body, which means that the brain worm is completely just a brain.

Of course, the Cerebral Bug is not only able to make plans or command the Zerg, it also has the ability to obtain all the memories of a human being by sucking the brain of that person. In its disgusting giant lips, there is a The sharp mouthparts that can be retracted and folded, when the brain worm pierces the mouthparts into the human brain, it can suck the brain from the hollow mouthparts like a straw, and there is a prerequisite for obtaining human memory, that is, being sucked The victim must still be alive, so for Cephalon, sucking the brain is a happy and happy thing, but for the sucked, it is definitely a kind of unimaginable fear and pain.

When Bob and the others were driven into the wormhole, there were 5 people in total. In order to obtain memory, Bob’s partner (the co-pilot of the rescue boat) was unfortunately selected by the brain worm to be the object of ingestion, while the other three including Bob People were controlled by parasites, and they escorted the only intact soldier to the whiskey outpost, and sneaked into the base by letting the soldier be stabbed and seriously injured by the engineer bug, and all of this was arranged by the brain bug.

From the point of intentionally leaving a soldier who was not parasitized, it can be seen that the brainworm is very considerate, otherwise if all four soldiers are parasitized, then when the cautious Lieutenant Hunter scans the whole body of the seriously injured soldier , it is bound to find the parasitic bugs in its body, then the plan of the Zerg to infiltrate the whiskey outpost will fail.

However, there was a mistake in this seemingly perfect plan, which directly led to the failure of this plan, that is, the brain worm underestimated the strength of the Zhongzhou team members. When the brain worm sucked the memory of the rescue boat co-pilot, it had already discovered The existence of the Zhongzhou team has been eliminated, but Zhang Cheng and others have been hiding their strength from the very beginning, so even if their performance is extremely outstanding, the headworm only defines these people as the elite of human beings, and they have passed the highest standard of human ability. To measure the strength of the Zhongzhou team.

However, the leader worm never expected that the strength of Zhang Cheng and others far exceeded its expectations, even so strong that only a few people could block the attack of tens of thousands of Zerg, which is far beyond the Zerg As far as human beings are concerned, the Zerg has to come to the battlefield to command the battle in order to capture the whiskey outpost in the shortest possible time and continue to implement the Zerg plan.

Of course, Zhang Cheng couldn't understand the anxious mood of the head worm. At this time, what he was thinking about was how to turn this big sarcoid into a reward for the Zhongzhou team. Although the straight line distance between the head worm and the whiskey outpost was less than 3 kilometers, but It is in a valley, and the entrance of the valley is at an angle of 60 degrees to the base. That is to say, only when you go forward at least 800 meters, can you see the brain worms in the depths of the valley along the entrance of the valley. Use a plasma sniper rifle to snipe it, you can only wait until there are no Zerg in front of the base. At the same time, He Chuli also said that if you kill the Zerg, the increased difficulty will directly lead to a great chance of the Zhongzhou team being wiped out. increase, so Zhang Cheng could only imagine the scene of crushing that big sarcoma in his mind, just for fun.

Soon, Zhang Cheng didn't even have time to imagine, because the Zerg's fourth wave of attack had officially begun.

This time the Zhongzhou team withdrew to the base to defend. It was different from defending the first wave. At this time, apart from the first gentle slope that was almost as high as the base wall outside the base, they were defending the second and third waves. The accumulated corpses of engineer bugs formed a second gentle slope. Although the scale of this gentle slope is not comparable to that accumulated by the previous few hours of fighting, it can somewhat slow down the impact of the Zerg. In other words, if the Zerg want to rush to the base, they must first go through two gentle slopes, so that they lose their advantage in speed. This is good news for the Zhongzhou team.

According to He Chuli's instructions, the ghouls and Wang Jiahao standing on the sentry used heavy machine guns to shoot at the first gentle slope. There was a big fire, and the fire spread very quickly. In just one minute, several fires were connected to form a continuous wall of fire.

Since the Whiskey Outpost is built on the mountain and closed on three sides, only the valley in the distance is the only entrance, so even if there is airflow, it will flow from top to bottom along the mountain behind the base, which means that the wind blows outwards. As a result, the smoke caused by the fire would naturally not disperse to the inside of the base, so the few gas masks that Wang Jiahao found in the base before were useless, but He Chuli never asked anyone to find any gas masks. It seemed that she had expected that the smoke would not drift into the base.

Fire is indeed a wonderful substance. Sometimes it brings fear and disaster to people, and sometimes it brings hope and warmth to people. At this time, the burning fire outside the base brought the Zhongzhou team members It is a sense of security, as if relying on the barrier of fire, the endless Zerg can no longer approach.

"I really hope this fire can keep burning like this." Although the sky is bright, Murong Wei's face is still reddened by the flames. In her eyes, the raging flames are like the matches lit by a little girl in a fairy tale, full of hope , although Murong Wei is the main force in this battle, she still has an inexplicable fear of disgusting insects, but this fear has been suppressed by her.

It's a pity that the Zhongzhou team's expectations for the fire are a bit too high. Although the appearance of the Zerg is similar to some weak bugs on the earth, they belong to a powerful alien race after all, so it's really a little bit to stop them all with just a firewall Wishful thinking, when the first batch of engineer bugs jumped over the second gentle slope, the fire in front of them only stopped their footsteps for a while, and they jumped into the flames without any scruples.

Before these engineer bugs rushed to the top of the first gentle slope, the fire caused by the fuel quickly burned their bodies. Even the hard shell of the Zerg couldn't resist the attack of the scorching flames. The engineer insect struggled and screamed, the mucus in its body was quickly dried by the high temperature, and its huge body began to shrink slowly, leaving only a pile of "crackling" scorched black shells that were roasted by the fire, and turned into a pile of charred bodies on a gentle slope. a part of.

"Haha, raw roasted worms, how about it? It tastes good, right?" Chen Yingxu laughed excitedly when she saw batches of engineer worms rushing up and were instantly engulfed by the fire. This is indeed a very depressing thing, so Chen Yingxu's depression, which has been suppressed by the endless attacks of the Zerg, is also vented at this moment because of the happy scene in front of him.

But at this moment, a few engineer bugs actually broke through the flame defense line and rushed across the gentle slope. Although these engineer bugs were quickly knocked down by the bullets fired by the ghouls, more and more engineer bugs came from the flames. It seems that the deterrent effect of the firewall on these bugs is rapidly weakening, and all this is because of the engineer bugs who threw themselves into the flames before, because they pressed on the flames to block them like moths. Part of the air was blown, so the power of the flames that could not be fully burned began to gradually weaken, which made it possible for the engineer bugs that were crushed to pass through the wall of fire safely.
