Spore Story

Chapter 763

==========
The colorful Yuantian River flows straight down from the snow-capped mountains, and finally extends from the ocean, stretching almost half of the continental plate.The middle area is the water source closest to the fall point of the Zerg Meteorite Base, and it is also one of the few green areas around the Meteorite Base.

No matter how powerful the bugs are, they are carbon-based organisms after all, and they also need water to moisten them. Therefore, even a large amount of surrounding areas are covered by creeps. After the creeps were cleaned up by shelling, the bare ground eventually turned yellow. However, the area around the Yuantian River, even if it flows through the inner section of the Zerg, is still well preserved, and even the plants on both sides of the river survived.

In this way, Yuan Tianhe became one of the few oases remaining in the Zerg-controlled area.

But today, Yuan Tianhe, who has a special status, can't get rid of the baptism of war at last.Just above her, the unresolved decisive battle between the Pengzu and the sky troops of the Zerg's third invasion force has also come to an end.

Of course, no matter how they fight, today is a sad day for Yuan Tianhe.Because of the war between civilizations, her clear river has disappeared, replaced by the wreckage of the two assault ships that almost cut off the river, and the wreckage as the center, radiating the land of corpses with a radius of more than ten miles.

The fountain of life that originally flowed in the river has now turned into a sticky substance full of blood, and the blood of Zerg, Friends, Moonlings, and Dunjia are intertwined in it, exuding a strange atmosphere, but because of The surrounding animals have been dispersed, and the Zerg has also been transferred away, and it has become like the area where the river of hell flows, full of dead silence and cruel beauty.

On the shell of a fallen assault ship, a group of shadows that are not very visible are floating like illusions.

Around these shadows, there are many dots of light scattered here and there, like the satellites of the planet, surrounding those shadows.These are soul-level or close to soul-level battleship souls that can exist as souls after death, and rely on the spiritual power of soul-level souls to protect the companions around them.

Compared with other awakened soul-level dead souls, there were only one or two sporadic light clusters around them to rescue them, but Liu Yuan, who was floating above the original bridge of the assault ship, was much more powerful than others.

Around his dead soul, there were more than 20 unawakened light groups of dead souls floating, which happened to be the number of members of the bridge where he was.

Generally speaking, everyone died at the same time, and the dead souls that did not reach the soul level dissipated very quickly.As for the soul-level undead, it took one more step than ordinary undead from death to forming a light cluster, and then to awaken, that is, it took at least twice as long.Then why, at the same soul level, others can only save a few, but Liu Yuan can save the souls of the entire bridge?

Liuyuan, who skillfully used his consciousness to perceive the ability to create a virtual vision of the dead for himself, retracted his sight from the bridge that had become a piece of iron, and swept across the surrounding land with a wry smile.

The memory seems to return to the moment before the fall.

At that time, the crash of the battleship was a foregone conclusion.

Due to the design problem of the assault ship, the bow is equipped with a 105mm main gun with a hemispherical control range, which occupies the entire area of ​​the bow, so that the rest of the rapid-fire guns can only be compressed to the middle and rear of the hull.

According to the considerations of the designers, the rapid-fire gun group in the middle and rear of the hull can create enough barrage to control all areas around the hull except the bow.

As for the bow, the power of the main gun is much greater than that of the rapid-fire cannon. If there are Zerg trying to break through the barrage from the bow, then the main gun can blast away the Zerg dozens of meters away.Therefore, the designers felt that the design of the Barracuda class was already very reasonable, at least at the time, the designers and the fantasy world simulation explained this.

But at this moment, Liu Yuan would definitely stand in front of the designers and yell wildly.

"You are wrong!"

Wrong, these designers completely ignored the difference in rate of fire between the main gun and the rapid-fire gun.

The rapid-fire gun whips the surrounding enemies almost continuously with a whip made of bullets, more than 600 rounds per minute.The 105mm main gun, even if it is equipped with an automatic loading mechanism, only has 50 rounds per minute.

The gap between the two sides created a tragic consequence.

The designers devised a formula: 'power = firepower x rate of fire x caliber', and then they came to the conclusion that the main gun can just be combined with the barrage of the rapid-fire gun.

Maybe they think that when facing the Zerg who want to attack from the bow of the ship during the barrage attack, the main gun only needs one shot to clear everything in front of them.

However, the actual battlefield is completely different from imagination.

When the Barracuda first came into contact with the bug, the opponent was blocked by a barrage of bullets, and I thought of the bow assault that was never covered by the firepower of the rapid-fire gun.At the beginning, the attack power of the bugs was not strong, so each shot of the 105mm gun on the bow could clean up a large chunk of bugs.

At that time, the bugs had the illusion that it was not worthwhile to attack from the bow of the ship. After all, it took a few bullets from the rapid-fire cannon to kill a bug, but a single shell from the main gun could clean up a bunch of bugs.

But when it came to the decisive battle, when both sides were red-eyed and focused on attacking, the Zerg began to attack from any direction of the Barracuda regardless of casualties.

The bow of the ship at this time, of course, will not be let go.

Although every time the main cannon is fired, more than a dozen bugs can be cleaned up, but the assault of the bugs must be remembered by everyone. It is the level of dozens or hundreds of bugs crowded in a small area.

Therefore, even though the main guns continued to attack, the bugs' assault on the bow of the ship was still moving forward steadily.

And when the bugs discovered this phenomenon, they not only did not reduce the assault force in other places to concentrate on assaulting the bow, but further increased the assault in other directions, thus attracting the attention of the bridge members.At this time, in fact, this situation can be avoided only by the battleship making high-speed steering movements, but because the Zerg's enhanced assault attracted attention, the situation at the bow of the ship was ignored by everyone on the bridge.

Therefore, when the tragedy struck, Liu Yuan and others realized that the matter was irreversible.

The bugs rushed all the way from the bow of the ship, and the bugs who were the first to touch the 105mm gun at the bow even blocked the muzzle with their own bodies. Although it had no effect on the power of the bombardment, it made it difficult for the muzzle to rotate, thus laying a solid foundation for the future. Bugs provide the opportunity to destroy the barrel rails.

Afterwards, they killed the gunners who attacked with rifles after losing their main weapons in the main gun turret. The bugs attacked against the firepower net of the guards, almost at the cost of at least 20 bugs for every meter they advanced.But a Barracuda class, even a Barracuda modification, is only 190 meters long.

However, the captains of the two assault ships that were attacked first did not wait for the worms to occupy the battleship, and ordered the entire ship to make high-speed maneuvers.

At this time, the pressure on the fleet from the Zerg who discovered the defects of the assault ship increased sharply.

At this moment, Liuyuan made the first choice. After 60% of the ship's interior area was occupied by Zerg, he could only control several areas of the bridge, restaurant, pumice power cabin and magnetic field engine console, and the crew lost 40% He immediately ordered the battleship to descend and connected the entire ship's communication.

"The Wilderness failed, everyone."

"We lost 60% of the Wilderness area. Although we still occupy several major locations, there are more and more bugs. With the number of weapons in the ship, we have already failed. We don't even have a chance to use the electric nuclear self-destruct , because the electric nuclear warehouse was also occupied.”

"Right now, thousands of bugs are either crowded inside the battleship, or climbing on the hull of the battleship, or waiting around the battleship. But in our ship, there are less than 100 people left. As for the surrounding battleships, or encountering The same situation as us, or still struggling with the bugs who want to drag them into the same situation as us, so we don't even think about foreign aid."

"Therefore, we really failed!"

When Liu Yuan's notice sounded in everyone's minds, many crew members felt desperate and unwilling.

Seeing that the battle was going well a few minutes ago, the United Fleet was not damaged, but the bugs had been reduced from 1 to 23 to less than [-]. Victory seemed to be just around the corner.However, in just a few minutes, the bug broke through the final blocking distance of the [-]-meter barrage that was regarded as the lifeline by everyone, and then the status quo took a sharp turn for the worse.

Very unhappy!

Really not reconciled!

Why at such a time!
"Everyone must be very unhappy, right?"

At this time, Liu Yuan suddenly roared, causing the soldiers who were almost killed by insects to be in despair for a while, and then even Liu Yuan who was on the bridge could clearly hear everyone's roar.

"Yes! Not reconciled!!"

"Well, now, I have a chance to kill thousands of bugs at once, and reduce the bugs that are still in the air by 1/3, but what we need to pay is our life, I don't know if I want to Woolen cloth?"

People in the spiritual power network can clearly perceive the superficial emotions of people connected to the network, but at this time the network is as calm as the surface of a lake.

All the crew members calmly conveyed an answer to Yanagihara.

Of course I would.

Liu Yuan laughed, and so did the soldiers on the surrounding bridge. They gave up controlling the battleship. Some of them guarded the hatch, ceiling and floor, while others began to move the battleship under Liu Yuan's order and according to the arrangement of the engineer in the ship. All the energy was connected to the magnetic field engine, and the safety protection structure was directly knocked off with a wrench.

They know the consequences of doing so.

The battleship will lose all its power, and even the pumice engine will lose its effect. At that time, everyone will know exactly what will happen to the Wilderness and its nearly 2000 surviving crew members at an altitude of more than [-] meters.

As for the souls of the dead, everyone knows that at the beginning, Shenting also advertised that they could rescue all the dead souls of the crew immediately.

But at this moment, they had no choice.

It's all dead anyway.

Therefore, when the magnetic field engine is no longer a flying tool, the crew combined with the practice of a certain assault ship in the past, and applied that method to the extreme with a larger and violent energy output method, making the engine a magnetic field explosion. When the tool is used, the sky suddenly emits an energy that is greater than that of thunder.

That light is far more brilliant than people can imagine, because it is the product of the intersection of life and will.

And at that moment, the sky even lost the brilliance of the day, leaving only the shock of the wilderness erupting.

In the next moment, all living creatures, electronic items, and energy objects within a radius of 100 meters of the Wilderness lost their ability to move under such an explosion. fall down.

The only ones that can survive are the bridge, engine control room, lounge, warehouse and other cabins equipped with protection mechanisms inside the battleship. Although not only the crew survived, but also the bugs survived, everyone is not worried.

Because there is still the level of falling.

Even because the electromagnetic explosion cleaned up the bugs in the corridors and other areas, the members of the ship who were not in danger for the time being completely ignored what weightlessness in the atmosphere represented, but calmly felt the pleasure of weightlessness, and some even ignored the usual rules of intentional compliance. Crew regulations, stick your head out of the porthole or something.

"Ahhh~ I've wanted to do this for a long time!"

"Don't be afraid, kid, isn't it just a little vibration? Just treat it as a fantasy world simulation."

"This is weightlessness? It's really fun, but it's a pity that I won't be able to go to space with everyone to play with this kind of thing in the future."

"@￥#..."

I don't know if it's insanity or just simple open-mindedness, at least Liuyuan who is on the bridge feels that this should be a kind of freedom from everyone.However, he just sat on the captain's seat on the bridge like this, quietly watching the falling wilderness, looking at the wilderness which was still rolling while falling under the loss of power stability of the pumice stone, and his heart was peaceful.

However, when the ground was getting closer and closer, when the altitude indicator was punched into a depression by the navigator on the side because it was too noisy, and the pointer stayed permanently at an altitude of 400 meters, Liuyuan was suddenly shocked.

cannot!We can't just let everyone die like this!These people are all experienced crew members, and they can't just go to the source so easily!
But what can be done?
Liu Yuan looked at his hands helplessly. He wasn't even a soul class, but an ordinary peak ghost class. He might be considered a master among his friends, but among captains, his level could only be regarded as a master. Bottom.

If he doesn't enter the soul level, it's a question of whether his soul can stay after his own death, so let's talk about others.

"However, you have to work hard."

Liuyuan took a 'final' look at the venting crew members on the bridge. They may only have a few seconds to live, but he will fight for it so that everyone can 'live' longer.

Thinking this way, he secretly took out the dagger that belonged to his personal collection from the drawer of the captain's console, and before he could touch it carefully, he stabbed the dagger into his heart almost without a moment's hesitation. , Liu Yuan suddenly pulled out the dagger.

I planned to stab the neck again to speed up the death, but I had no strength left.

"captain!!"

When the surrounding crew members turned their eyes due to the splashing blood, and saw Liu Yuan's corpse with few drops of blood left, Liu Yuan smiled and raised the corners of his mouth.

Sound, light, and the world are all finally gone from him.

The next moment, violent vibrations were transmitted into the bridge, and the crew members were thrown high before they even had time to react, and then they were crushed into a pulp by the ceiling and floor due to extrusion.

The Wilderness crashes.

……

"Fortunately it worked."

With a gratified smile on his face, Liu Yuan's soul floated above the wreckage of the Wilderness, looking at the floating souls around him and the few souls who survived in several other cabins.Although I am a little curious why I am still only at the peak of the ghost level, and I have not broken through to reach the soul level. Why can I still exist and show no signs of dissipating?But these are not important.

"At the moment of death, the soul of the dead separates from the body to form a light cluster. The time for everyone is almost the same. But the time required to wake up from the light cluster and become a complete conscious soul is definitely longer than the time for the soul of the ghost level and below to completely dissipate."

"So, by committing suicide before I fell, I allowed myself to complete the step of the dead soul leaving the body and turning into a light ball in advance. Then, in the impact of the impact, I, who had completed the death step in advance and formed a light ball, was able to form a light ball in front of others. The time period of the dead soul light group began to wake up."

"In this way, even if the speed of waking up is still slower than the speed of the formation of the dead soul's light cluster, so that when I wake up, many of the surrounding light clusters have dissipated for less than half, but at least it can guarantee that when I wake up, there are still people around me. Most of the ghost light group remains."

"It's really a good idea, but it's a pity you thought of it temporarily, otherwise I would have saved more people."

"Yes."

The person chatting with Liuyuan was the captain of another assault ship. After witnessing the method of self-destructing and killing the enemy, the other party, facing the situation that the battleship was also unable to rescue, controlled the self-destructing ship in a more efficient way. The assault ship rushed into a larger swarm, and then launched electromagnetic self-destruct.

Although he was still in control of the nuclear cargo hold at the time, he originally planned to detonate the cargo hold.

But after the captain weighed it, he found that the two self-destruct methods of detonating the electric nuclear cargo hold and overloading the magnetic field engine would cause similar damage to the Zerg.But detonating the electric nuclear cargo hold will cause the crew members to lose even the chance to produce souls after death; and the overload of the magnetic field engine will at least give everyone a possibility to survive.

The most important thing is that the captain of the assault ship is different from the half-hearted peak of the ghost class like Liuyuan, he is a real middle-stage soul class.

Therefore, he is also sure to survive the crash and rescue some souls.

However, in the end, when he woke up and tried his best to save his colleagues who hadn't dissipated, and then looked at the wilderness that had crashed not far away, he found that the crew member rescued by the other party's captain, who was only the peak of the ghost class, It was several times more than myself, which was immediately cited as a miracle.

But after knowing what the other party is doing and thinking, I have to admire it.

"To be honest, knowing that as a soul-level me, I can wake up without danger after falling to death, it would be very difficult to take the risk of committing suicide early like you in pursuit of quick recovery."

Liu Yuan nodded, while the captain smiled wryly.

"Because who can be sure that the impact of the crash will not be too strong, so that the soul-level dead souls who can rely on their bodies to resist the first wave of impact and then slowly wake up will not be affected by the impact of the crash after they are formed in advance. How about getting rid of it?"

"I'm a bachelor, hahahaha." Liu Yuan raised his head and laughed.

"Hahaha, yes!"
