The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Bugs are creatures that are good at self-evolution. Maybe sometime in the future they will evolve feet that can run fast on smooth starship decks, but at this point in time, they are just about to enter the universe. Just drowned land creatures.

"Mayu, relax the traction!"

【learn!Take it easy! 】

Seeing the worms climbing onto the boat, the inexperienced girl trembled nervously, but she still quickly carried out the officer's order.

The rollers were reversed, and a length of towing rope thousands of meters long was released. The bugs climbing on the towing rope were startled, but immediately regained their senses and continued to climb forward.

"Accelerate with maximum power, brake in one second!"

【learn!Accelerate with maximum effort! 】

The main thruster at the stern suddenly burst into a strong blue light, and the Night Class accelerated and sprinted like a waking sea monster, and some of the bugs that failed to cling to the hull fell to the stern like beans rolling on an iron plate. They either landed in the hot main thruster plume or flew helplessly into the distant deep space.

"Hey!!!" It wasn't the worm, but the humiliating sound made by the Tin Woodman in panic.

The Tin Woodman, who was fixed on the deck by the magnetic boots, lay on his back and fell on the deck. His back collided violently with the starship armor. Slap face down on the ground.From the perspective of others, she seemed to be grabbed by her feet and swung twice...

"Wow!"

Before she could turn on the inertial stabilization device, her body endured two dangerously high loads in a row, and her eyes were bloodshot. This was because the inertia pushed the blood from the feet to the head, which increased the blood pressure in the head.For a while, she couldn't see anything, she had a terrible headache, and what hurt even more was her ankle, probably because the bone was broken during the violent movement just now.

Fortunately, the magnetic boots were still working, and she was still on the deck, but almost all the bugs that climbed up to the night class had been scattered in the nearby space.

"Mayou... the fastest speed... close... tighten the tow rope..."

She yelled the last command intermittently, and before she lost consciousness, the last image she saw was the roller reeling up the line with astonishing momentum.

Many people have played skipping rope when they were young. What would happen if you put a hairpin on the slack skipping rope and then suddenly tightened the rope?

The blunt sound echoed on the Heiye-class ship. It was the scream of the tow rope being stretched suddenly. The roller became hot, and the high-speed moving tow rope threw all the bugs on it, and they waved them desperately. The legs and chelicerae rotated and tumbled to maintain the speed of being thrown out, gradually moved away from here, and finally disappeared into the black background of the universe as small dots.

"It's really wonderful, this hand is beautiful! Where did she learn it?" Oregana, who was observing the scene in the Glacier, showed a surprised expression.In the shot, an acolyte-type drone flew out, irradiated with a low-power laser cannon, paralyzed the Tin Woodman's magnetic boots, and then moved the unconscious Tin Woodman into the ship.The operation of drones has reached such a fine level, it seems that Mayo Asuka is also quite talented.

"Do you still remember the car racing at Ouhuangxing?"

"Remember, didn't sandworms appear midway, and a group of people were killed in the end?"

"At that time, the Tin Woodman pinched the brakes, but unfortunately, she hit the car a few seconds earlier..."

Inertia Utilization Theory V Acquisition!

"..."

It seems that experience can only be obtained through learning, and sometimes learning something even requires the price of life. (looking at the sky)

"Be careful, don't relax."

[Yes, Captain. 】

Wearing yellow power armor, Billie Hailing walked in front with a grenade pistol in one hand and a chainsaw sword in the other. The headlight on the top of the helmet illuminated the dark interior of the insect body.

But this is really not a good place, there are disgusting biological tissues everywhere, which is very normal for a bug ship, there has never been a clean and tidy corridor and clear signage in a bug ship, no matter what It's the same in any world.

After the Tin Woodman had taken care of the boarding battle, a small team of marines was sent on a cleanup mission.

The marines who landed on the insect ship were looking for the enemy in the splashed blood. They drove a frigate close to the insect ship bound by the night-class industrial ship, and blasted a hole at the end of the cone. People rushed in and chopped up and smashed everything they saw along the way that was still moving, whether it was a pulsating blood vessel or a 'warrior' class stuck in the muscle of the bug ship.

They searched for enemies in the splattered blood, cleaning the inside of the bugship like a general cleaning.

"Sure enough...it's empty."

Stuck the fixed thorns on the combat boots into the flesh under his feet, Billie Hailing murmured.

The 'shell' of the straight-shelled nautilus is hollow inside, and it is really a shell. Countless 'sacs' are densely packed on the inner wall of the shell. Now some of these 'sacs' are empty, and the other part is already filled. Dead 'Warrior' class.There was no trace of struggle, just like falling asleep, all died in the 'sac'.

[I'm afraid it is a carrier ship used to transport Zerg soldiers, but the preservation method is not very good, and the death rate is more than half. 】Billy's deputy commented 【Some of them got stuck when they crawled out of these things, it's really a salted fish-like design. 】

Could it be that there is no time to take protective measures because of the emergency dispatch?Billie thought, but as a pure fighter, she didn't know much about these biological problems, so she focused on the current task:

"Go ahead, Lettie, blow up that compartment."

【Yes! 】

One of the marines went up with a round pie-shaped hail explosive in his hand, and hit the 'door' formed by the sphincter, but found that the bolts used to fix it could not be fixed, so he relied on his own power armor, Press your hand directly on it.

A hole was drilled in the muscle group in the bomb bay, leading directly to the interior, and five small shotgun charges flew out of the bomb bay one by one and fell to different positions in the cabin.

With the ground shaking several times, even if the cabin is full of 'warrior' class, don't be afraid, everything in the past will be blown up, no matter if there are hostages or terrorists in the room... In short, everything will be killed.

Several people stepped forward, raised the chainsaw sword and cut a hole in it. The marines entered the closed cabin through the cut, and the headlights were turned on to illuminate the entire interior——

"..."

"Report, this is Team Hai Ling. We found a brain worm inside the captured worm ship." She connected to the mother ship's communication with a blank expression.

【Oh! ?The bug ship is actually carrying brain worms!Great, grab it back immediately! ] The person who answered was the scythe of war, the gimmick of the legion, a man who worked 25 hours a day and was as curious as a cat about anything unknown.Billie could feel that when he heard the word 'brain worm', his pitch raised an octave.

"I'm really sorry, this can't be done." She tried to keep her tone steady, just like her daily reporting tasks, calm and straightforward.

【Um? 】

"Report! In the exchange of fire just now, the brain worm has died! Do you want to recover the corpse!"

[Since this is the case, there is no other way... Let's bring back the body as complete as possible. 】(low)

"As ordered!"

Chapter 169 Chapter 157: The Insect's Counterattack

Carl Jenkins, Marine Johnny Rigo's best classmate in school, the two joined the army on the same day, Johnny went to the Marine Corps and Carl was assigned to work at the "Star Research and Development Institute" on Pluto.

Pluto is cold and boring. This dwarf planet with a diameter of about [-] kilometers is maddeningly far away from the sun, which makes this planet extremely cold, and its autobiography is very slow. A day and night is close to a whole week Even with all the compliments, this is not a place for humans to live.

But this is no problem for Carl. As a researcher who spends all day in the laboratory, he doesn't care what the environment outside is like.

But when he got to the front line, he had to care.

"Hey, Lieutenant Colonel, do you know!" Dr. Shimadzu, a thin colleague, patted him on the back, "Our allies from the universe destroyed two Zerg warships on the orbit of Tango Ghost, and found Cerebral worm!"

Carl's eyes widened in surprise, and he subconsciously scratched his hairline: "God, I've guessed that there is a Zerg leader on planet P!"

P is the code name of Tango Ghost Planet. In various command texts, this code name is often used to refer to this planet.

The Zerg are intelligent, and the battle on Klandaff could even be said to be a trap. Karl and many scholars believe that only by capturing the leaders and figuring out their command system can they win.

"We can't even win on the battlefield," said one researcher during the course of the study. "They're almost as smart as we are. Could a stupid race from another galaxy throw a stone in our face? The coordination between them is more coordinated. It takes a year for us to train a recruit how to fight and how to cooperate with his comrades. Even if the accelerated training takes three months to set foot on the battlefield, their soldiers can fight immediately after hatching !"

"Even if we kill a thousand bugs and we only die one soldier, it's a victory for the bugs. Their soldiers are just consumables, like ammunition!"

Even if you kill a thousand, ten thousand... the logistics chief of the bugs—if there is one—call somewhere—

"Hey~ Old Tie, start hatching 1 soldiers and deliver them next week~"

"Okay, I'll give you two thousand more discounts today."

This is no different from the Tartarus Fleet Ammunition Assembly Array.

The only way to defeat the Zerg is to destroy their chain of command - the cerebrates.

He and his colleagues came to the front line and saw the broken wormship tethered next to the ally's battleship. After that, he put on heavy protective clothing and inspected the corpse of the brain worm at close range.

Cerebral worms are bulky, the size of a truck, with eyes the size of eight dinner plates lined up on the front of their heads.The eyes were now dull and looked as if they were covered with dust.It looks like a larva of some kind of fly, with a soft body surface, without the hard chitin carapace like common bugs.It has some small legs under its body, which are ridiculously small compared to its size.

The loathsome bug was dead from a laceration on the side of its body that looked as if a hand grenade had landed there and ripped its body apart, a large amount of dried bodily fluids had condensed near the wound, the metal floor There was also a lot of dripping.

"This bug was wounded and killed in the firefight," said a tall dark-haired man who greeted them, also wearing a hazmat suit at the moment, and even under the hazmat suit he was wearing dark glasses "You know more about this type of bug , so it will be up to you to lead the research.”

"Grateful! But if there are living samples..."

"Although I can understand this feeling, please don't be too greedy, this is not an easy sample." War Scythe raised a finger and shook, "The bugs on planet P are still active, and they haven't gone crazy or fluttered. Symptoms such as being motionless on the ground prove the existence of brain worms, and maybe we will have a chance in a short time."

What Scythe of War didn't say was that the location where the brain worm was found was the location where the conical shell of the wormship connected to the tail, and the same location of the other wormship had been blown up. He believed that the other There is also a brain worm like this on the bug ship.

It's a pity that it wasn't recovered, I'd better be more careful next time.

"I understand, without further ado, let's start..." Carl nodded, and suddenly froze. "Well, Mr. War Scythe, we may not need things like chainsaws..."

"Da da da da da..."

The blunt sound of the 20mm guns firing together was the sound of four Atlases firing at the same time. These mechanical giants destroyed a giant worm with thick armor like a tank car a minute ago. It is huge in size, tenacious in vitality, and can spew out high-temperature biologically corrosive liquid, which once caused a lot of trouble for the marines, but in front of the 1mm gun in Diego's hand, this monster is no more fierce than a sheep.

And now ZAFT's sons and daughters are striding forward, sweeping the remaining "Warrior" class.

This is a regular sweeping mission, a small team goes out, moves along the pre-marked route, kills all the bugs in sight, and destroys any pits, caves and nest entrances.For these well-trained fighters, this kind of task is not difficult. They just expanded the range of control and gradually compressed the range of activities of the bugs.

A "Warrior" class that passed through the fire net by chance climbed onto the Atlas driven by Aslan, trying to cut the armor plate with its pincers and claws.Aslan grabbed it indifferently, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it before it jumped up:

"The insect swarm in area C has been cleared, and an entrance to the insect nest has been found."

[Is there any 'gift' left? 】The Nazca-class battleship 'Dica' at orbital heights has replied to the communication. This warship is performing support operations, and if the situation is unfavorable, it will use highly accurate magnetic rail guns for orbital support.This is a battleship specially allocated by the ZAFT command to the 'Sara' team. It is equipped with a railgun produced by Tartarus, and its performance is much better than that of ZAFT's imitation.

"There are three shots left."

[Use it up quickly, we are waiting to fire. 】

"Even if you say so..."

Aslan drove the Atlas close to the hole carefully. There was no mucus or biomass there. This was a hole dug purely by claws, not much different from the common rabbit holes on the grassland.

He took out an egg from the weapon hanger, this egg is the 'gift' mentioned, it has a silver shell, and there is a striking black skull mark on a yellow background——

This is a chemical weapon.

An extremely inhuman weapon of mass destruction that kills enemies by releasing toxic chemicals, causing horrific reactions including suffocation, nerve damage, blood poisoning, and blistering.

But who cares when you're fighting bugs?Don't most of you take it for granted when you're fighting bugs?

Aiming at the hole, Aslan threw the 'gift' into it, and it bounced and rolled down deeper. When the little guy couldn't be seen, Nicole blew up the hole and closed the passage.

After a few seconds, the bomb explodes, releasing an oily liquid that emits a bug-targeting nerve gas that's heavier than air and seeps down like a poison dump. Like a nest of cockroaches, everything inside is wiped out.

"It's time for work, let's go back to Base No. [-] first."
