The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Just like their name - the flood.

[It's the Flood Demon! ] Oregana's voice came from the communication [Leave them alone!Just keep maneuvering and just clear your feet with the flamethrower when you land!Our goal is a Covenant warship! 】

"Yes!"

The infected Flood can't fly, so our mobility has an absolute advantage. As long as we don't get entangled, the Flood can't get close.So Liu Lizi calmly used the flamethrower on his shoulders to turn the fighting flood in front of him into a burning torch, then jumped high, and the rising air blasted the surrounding 'potatoes' away.

When she took off this time, she had already seen the purple hull of the Covenant warship through the col of the mountain, and at the same time, she felt horrified because of seeing other things—dense creatures were constantly pouring out from the ground, like a blanket Like shaking on the ground.They covered the jungle and the mountains, forming a wave of destructive waves, overwhelming the Covenant warships moored on the other side of the mountain.

And at this moment, the rock walls around suddenly exploded, and black tentacles stretched out, which were more than ten meters long, strangely shaped but extremely huge, with strips of flesh squirming and entangled on them.The tentacles are hollow, they aimed at the marines who had just jumped, and sprayed suddenly—the capsules flew towards the marines at an alarming speed, and burst in mid-air after two seconds, a large number of brown infection spores It hit the head and face like it was raining.

"This is a trap! Attack!!"

When more and more unreasonable troubles come to your door, how to pursue a peaceful life like a plant?

Here is a negative teaching material that may be worth referring to

Chapter 1057 Chapter 95: The entire ring is within the scope of my jumping gang

"It's all dust!"

The flamethrower on the shoulder shot out super-high-temperature plasma flames forward, and the almost unconstricted plasma cluster expanded at a high speed immediately after being released from the chamber, instantly filling Oregana's entire field of vision. And all the flood spores within a cone angle ahead.Those potato-like meat balls exploded the moment they touched the plasma flame, and were burned to ashes in an instant.

The flames burned a big hole in the Flood swarm thrown into the air, and Oregana nimbly passed through it, like a diver passing through a school of swimming sardines.But there were still Flood spores hitting the shield she stretched head-on, making a crackling sound, and the brown-green slime splashed everywhere.This reminded her of the medicinal soup she drank when she was a child to treat coughs.

The enemy obviously underestimated the enemy. They thought they could use this kind of intensive anti-air attack to knock down a heavily armed marine, but they didn't consider that hitting a solid shield with fragile infection spores was tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.But even so, the Flood's way of acting still surprised Oregana—relying on something that looked like a large spore crawler to fight against the air?

Unheard of, but within reason.It seems that I should use my brain more to predict the type and mode of action of the Flood... After all, what I am facing is a corpse brain beast that has been imprisoned here for tens of thousands of years, and now I have broken into its territory.

This guy is probably secretly thinking [you are asking for your own death] somewhere underground.

"Report the situation!" She sprayed plasma flames on the ground, igniting a jungle and falling on the dried mud and charred Flood, and then rushed out of the blazing flames immediately.Dust was everywhere, the air was filled with a burning smell, and the roar of the thrusters echoed in the creepy cry of the Flood, "Is anyone caught?"

[No, everything is normal! 】

Avie also reported that her heart rate was much higher than she expected, which was due to the constant black and gray tide under her feet.The number of them has exceeded the upper limit that the fire control system can count, and they unfold slowly like a carpet-slow, but it only looks slow because the ground is too large.At a glance, there are at least [-] holes that are constantly pouring out insects, and there must be densely covered labyrinth-like passages below the ground.If an infantryman accidentally stepped on the air and fell, he would even be squeezed out by tumbling bugs.

As long as he wasn't infected or shredded before then.

There was a whistling sound in the air, and a series of light spots flew towards the location of the Flood Spore Cannon, which was still firing 'anti-air shrapnel', and exploded and split in mid-air, releasing countless small bombs.Looking at it like that, it reminds me of fireworks on a summer night.They streaked across the sky, completely covering the entire spore cannon position, and the flames suddenly rose into the sky, complementing the red sky at dusk.

The vegetation on the jungle and hillside, as well as the spore cannon of the Flood's biomass were ignited in an instant, igniting a raging fire, and the heat wave turned the surroundings into a scorching hell.Surrounded by flames, the Flood was like termites avoiding the heat wave, moving left and right.Up to this time, there were still cannonballs roaring and piercing the atmosphere, continuing to play the melody of death.A row of cannonballs landed on the gap where the Flood was constantly gushing out, smashing the Flood into the Zerg tunnel of unknown depth and exploding in it. The flames burned underground, and black smoke erupted from the gap like a volcanic eruption. rushed out.

The pathetic xenos burned like charcoal in a belly furnace in the smoke and heat.

This is because Lore Freddy is manipulating the Tindalos class to bombard the Flood at high altitude. At the same time, six gunship aircraft and twelve light cavalry carrier-based aircraft that entered the top of the atmosphere are also attacking. The carrier plane hunted the Banshee fighter jets and Phantom carrier ships in the air, shooting them down one by one, covering the gunship pilots with howitzers and rocket pods under the belly of the aircraft to launch split incendiary bombs that specifically kill living organisms ——After the war with Arachi and ZERG, and the simulated battle with the dark worm landing force all the year round, spreading small incendiary bombs in a large area can effectively suppress the Zerg infection in a large area.

The reason why it is only suppressed and not annihilated is because these guys generally burrow into the ground, and all they can do is to prevent them from crawling out of the ground.That's enough for now, the next thing to do is to follow this path of fire directly into the Covenant warship.

But at the moment when Oregana fell into the sea of ​​flames and was about to jump again, several brown-gray tentacles suddenly rushed out from the ground, wrapped around her left hand and pulled it hard, so strong that it almost threw her Ripped to the ground.If it's a UNSC marine... No, let alone a marine, even a Sangheili warrior of the Star Alliance can't break free if he's tied up by this one. If he's tied up, he might not even be able to run a warthog, but he can fight against it The only ones are probably ghost-faced beasts.

She has never seen or even heard of this kind of flood - but it is not surprising that it exists, after all, it is a corpse brain beast that has lived for tens of thousands of years. If you come to Abathur at this time, he is completely Zerg can be used to simulate an entire Earth biosphere, and even Zerg Pandas, Zerg Ducks, Zerg Polar Bears, and Zerg Dogs can all stay in their own ecological niches.The tentacle type used only for combat is simply reasonable, but this output is really...

"If you have tentacles, Z sauce is enough, I will die!"

Her reaction was astonishingly fast, the chainsaw blade whirling around her wrist cut through the tentacles, and the pus sprayed everywhere, but at this moment, tentacles were everywhere around her, and many Flood demons had already been burned hard. jumped out of the ground, trying to catch the new victim.It was a Flood fighting entity with orange shiny vesicles on its back, running on two powerful short legs, and long tentacles growing on both sides of its body.They look like the double-headed aberrations Zagara made before, and the height only reaches Oregana's chest. God knows where this terrible strength comes from.

Moreover, they are not only strong, but also very agile. The moment Oregana jumped away from the spot, at least four fighting floods carrying a pile of infected spores leaped high, and the thick tentacles they pulled out were entangled in the Oregana was close to the outside of the shield, pressing on the joints, and trying to tear off the thrusters.But Oregana had already risen into the air before they fixed themselves on the ground. One Flood was ignited by the flames from the thruster, and the tentacles broke immediately, and the other three were carried into the air, shaking. He wanted to do something but had nowhere to borrow, so he could only gather the tentacles as much as possible.

Oregana raised her hand and used the particle machine gun to beat one of them into a pulp, cut off the tentacles of the second one and let it fall into the sea of ​​flames below, but the third one still took this opportunity before it was thrown off. Let the infected spores attached to her back rush up along the tentacles, they jumped on her mask, and the hard thorns came from all directions.But fortunately, the shield is still intact, and these fragile little things can't destroy the shield, and they were immediately burst one by one by the angry skull maker like a water balloon.

This reminded her of what Alarak, Sprout of Darkness, mocked Artanis and Vorazun before—how did you lose Al to these bugs?Can they still bite your spaceship?

But that's what happens sometimes.

A flash of light suddenly flashed at the edge of her vision, and Oregana looked back, just in time to see the debris, fireballs and thick smoke rose into the air, and when the shock wave swept across the ground, it even extinguished the surrounding flames in the smoke.Marine Ian Krebs' signal went out at the same time, and the explosion could only be a reaction to the momentary overload of the power armor's reactor.

In order to prevent the Flood from infecting the precious soldiers of Tartarus, everyone's power armor has been carefully adjusted and set before this departure.It's not that the life monitoring system will detonate the power furnace once it detects that the marines are infected, because the reaction to being infected by the Flood is still unknown, and relying on the body's response after infection as a benchmark may be inaccurate or not fast enough.In order not to have any loopholes, the technicians did this - once the airtightness of the armor is damaged, no matter how the damage occurred, the power furnace will be overloaded and detonated instantly.

If the Flood's tentacles want to pierce the warrior's skin, it must first find the gaps and breaches in the armor before proceeding to the next step, and as long as there is a gap in the armor that is big enough to fit a Flood needle, then Before Hong Mo took action, the self-destruct system took the first step to solve all the problems.

But the question now is, how did the Flood destroy Ian Krebs' armor just by relying on this kind of thing?

"What happened!"

【Report!Ian was held back by the Flood and couldn't get into the air, and then a few things that looked like banelings blew him away!His left foot joint was damaged in the explosion! ] Aweiyi's voice was trembling because of the propeller 【Get out of the fire!Do not walk in areas where flames are extinguished!Cover yourself with fire! 】

"understood!"

Until this time, Oregana felt like a game.This kind of feeling is like in Char, you only have a vast sea of ​​insects that are constantly attacking in front of you, but you can still clearly feel that the opponent's attack is not only the sea of ​​insects tactics, the attack is methodical, and a thought is shrouded in the whole Above the group, controlling them to launch round after round of fierce attacks, I seem to be able to see through the ground, through each individual, the behemoth hiding behind the scenes or the thoughtful appearance trembling with tension and excitement.

[This is the Burning of Neklavo, Ian Krebs' clone was activated, and the consciousness body was not damaged or polluted in any way.We're summarizing the battle log returned by the armor at the end. 】

This made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"Not bad." Oregana nodded, and she reset the proximity alarm system and sensors in mid-air, which allowed her to target those big guys first. "The Flood is much stronger than expected, but they block No more to us! Speed ​​up!"

【Yes! 】

Indeed, the Floods emerging from the ground seem to have a lot of styles, but they generally lack the ability to fly, and the continuous bombing of incendiary bombs makes them unable to ambush the marines. These guys are almost It will not affect the progress of the Marines.A few minutes later, the flying Flood appeared. They have wide membranous wings and fly in the sky like pterodonts, but this structure is doomed for them to be difficult to keep up with the land battles that jump forward. The flight speed of the team members.

How could it be possible to fly fast by flapping its wings...Although the Allosaurus flies very fast, it actually uses psionic energy and biological reactions in its body to produce gaseous products for jetting to fly. Flapping its wings is only to assist maneuvering in the atmospheric environment That's all - they flap their wings as they fly in a vacuum.This is fundamentally different from the Hong Moque (temporary name) that is now chasing after it.

The Star Alliance battleship was already in sight, and Oregana could even see a group of soldier bees flying up and down around the cracks in the hull, looking particularly disturbed.A portion of the Flood was pouring out of the nearest spout that had not been affected by the bombing. Although the number was small, it was still able to overwhelm the Covenant soldiers stationed near the battleship.

She subconsciously looked at the hull of the Covenant warship, but saw that most of the artillery deck was only twisted or broken or broken.Too bad the Covenant couldn't use their powerful plasma cannons or lasers to incinerate the oncoming Flood.To make matters worse...they hadn't retracted the gravity ladder, and several beams of light were extending from all sides of the ship to the ground.

That ghost thing has no identity verification, as long as it stands inside, it can be directly lifted into the ship like a cow caught by aliens. It is very convenient-especially for the enemies who want to rush into the ship, it is extremely convenient... It doesn't matter if the guy trying to storm the boat is a Spartan, a clone trooper, or a Flood.

"Now it depends on who is faster, us or Hong Mo."

【Mostly it's the Flood... Maybe they've already entered by now. 】

"That's right... After all, they can teleport..."

————————————————————

The flames licked the ground, and along with the bombing, swept across the mountain, devouring everything unscrupulously. The thick smoke quickly spread under the strong wind, blackening the entire sky, and the visibility near the ground has been reduced to less than five meters.

This picture looks really scary. Looking at all this, the Prophet of Sorrow can't help but think of a purification ceremony he once presided over in the past-first use the plasma purification light under the ship to carve a huge sacred mark on the predetermined position of the planet , and then let the fleet carefully burn the planet.At that time, he once watched the planet under his feet covered in flames, and on the surface he praised the Sangheili commander who carried out the attack, but in fact he felt terrified... The three prophets were terrified all the time, especially When you realize the secret in your heart.

But even then, the Prophet of Sorrow did not think about what the burning human beings saw and felt in this cruel consciousness.But now, seeing the gunpowder slowly enveloping the battleship, he suddenly thought of that time.To conceal his uneasiness—he had so much to feel uneasy now—he asked sharply:

"It's not finished yet!"

The city of fraternity has received the news that the support fleet will meet with me at the berth three light years away. At that time, I will return to the safe city of fraternity. There are no such terrible fighters there, nor are they crawling all over the ground, regardless of race. The terrifying alienation of life.

【Soon! 】The chief technician replied loudly, his voice was trembling, he didn't know whether it was nervous or excited【The engineer is repairing the last two energy pipelines! 】

The Prophet of Sorrow sighed. He knew that urging was useless, so he just nervously checked the energy shield on his throne—this was his last life-saving device. If he could activate this thing, at least he could last a little longer. A little while:

"What are these horrible things...

Captain Sangheili asked:

"Isn't there something like this mentioned in the teachings of the forerunners?"

His tone became very irritable. Using this questioning tone to ask questions related to religion would definitely bring him disaster.But now, he is the one who can control the situation. The Prophet of Sorrow can't play any role here-whether it is belief or rights, it has no meaning in this place where bullets must be used to speak.

"No... nothing..." He clenched his fists tightly. "If we don't leave quickly, everything will be over."

"I'm well aware of this, those people seem to be prepared, they set the whole mountain on fire to burn off these horrible infections, along with our warriors in the mountains."

At this time, a Sangheili of the Prophet's honor guard next to him knelt down in front of the Prophet holding his plasma spear, and boldly made a suggestion:

"I'm angry about this, but... we can contact them, if our enemies are all these nasty infections, then at least we can help each other here..."

Even he himself knew that the suggestion was so outrageous, but the desire for life still prompted him to speak.The battle records sent back from the front made people feel horrified. He saw his companions were covered by monsters, and the monsters took root in them, tearing their bodies and growing tentacles and pustules, and controlling them to attack own people.

This is really terrible, more terrible than death, more terrible than losing honor.Being burned to ashes with incendiary bombs by those people may be a relief to the rooted soldiers.

But this kind of suggestion will not be accepted by the Prophet and the captain——

"How stupid! Those people are also going to put us to death!"

"Sorry! I overstepped."

"Stop talking nonsense! Take your men to pick up guns and protect this ship! Immediately!"

He backed away from the room, and the grunts outside were looking at him timidly.The Glory Guard put on a straight face and shouted at the group of grunts:

"What are you doing in a daze! Hold the aisle and close the gravity ladder! The enemy is coming soon!"

A grunt in white armor with a fuel cannon on his back asked cautiously:

"Are we going to lock everyone out! At least until they withdraw..."

Before he finished speaking, he was immediately kicked to the ground by his boss:

"There is no time! Do it now!"

Unlike other races of the Star Alliance, the Grunts are the type that especially value unity and comrades-in-arms, but the fear of their bosses is more than that.He could do nothing but pray to his comrades, but replied:

"...Yes!" But as soon as the words fell, the expression under his mask changed. "My lord, did you hear anything?"

A loud, high-pitched, high-pitched noise traveled down the hallway, before dissipating into a piercing cluck.They hum like drones, and this sound is far from the sound of a ship's engine.Another sound drifted overhead through the hallway—like a giant feather scraping through tinfoil and disintegrating into something soft and repulsive and chirping.

Grunts are naturally good at language learning, they are familiar with a whole host of sounds that Covenant and Alien can make, but this is not any of them.

The honor guard also became nervous, he unfolded the energy spear tip of the plasma spear with a buzzing sound, and the blue blade of light shone in the dim passage.The Grunts in white armor also took a shooting posture. Compared with other Grunts, those in white armor are elites. They are good at shooting and adapting to changes. At this moment, the weapons in their hands are all pointing to the other side of the corridor.

A foot covered with pustules that even stretched out the armor stepped on the floor. It took a step and took another step, and the mucus dripped on the floor along the gap between the body and the broken armor.The light illuminated its head—a shiny pustule covered most of its face, and the thick tentacles drooped from the depths of its nostrils on its chest. It just stood under the light, facing the eyes There are countless muzzles, and the four-petal mouth that is still open makes a strange, broken and distorted roar.

In the next instant, a large number of spherical objects rushed out from the shadow of the corridor behind him along the walls, ceiling, and floor. The dense monsters covered the lights on the ceiling, and the room suddenly became dark.

"God!!"

There was no need to give orders, all the soldiers were shooting desperately, and the light spots cast by needles and dazzling plasma bombs bounced in the dark corridor.But only a few seconds later, accompanied by a scream of pain, everything fell silent, leaving only incomprehensible grunts and chirps that never stopped.

In the power cabin, the soldiers who had just repaired the equipment were cheering and starting the engine.

The Covenant warship closed the gravity ladder, allowing the troops below to be swallowed by the Flood.At this moment, the marines of Tartarus were already on the last step.
