Alien Relic Hunter

Just when Levi had just helped Lieutenant General Maginot outside the office, the two of them happened to see an unforgettable scene in their lives - a diameter of more than fifty meters, and the length of the exposed body alone was more than a hundred meters. The giant "centipede" emerged from the collapsed pit and stood upright!

If there are survivors at the reconnaissance team's support base who can see this scene, they will be surprised to find that the body of this "centipede" is more than ten times larger than when it first appeared in front of humans! And this process only takes a few days...

"What...what kind of monster is this? Why have I never heard of this kind of thing?! Is it an indigenous creature?" Marshall asked nervously. Although he was trying his best to hide it, there was something deep in his words. The fear still showed up involuntarily.

"No, General... I'm afraid that's not an indigenous creature..." Levi's face was sullen, his cheeks were pale, and he shook his head with some difficulty, "That thing... is a man-made monster..."

As if to verify what Levi said, the huge mouth on the top of the centipede suddenly opened, and countless pale meat balls rolled out of its mouth - Maginot took a closer look and discovered the white meat. The balls were actually a bunch of tentacles intertwined together, and when these tentacles landed on the ground, they began to squirm and struggle, like an octopus waking up from hibernation.

"It's the Seed of Corrosion!" Maginot recognized it immediately, "The one who attacked us is really a heretical sect!"

At the same time, Levi had grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Give the order! Open special ammunition depots No. 7 to 9 to all soldiers! The enemies invading the base are the seeds of erosion from the heretical sect! All those who do not carry active ammunition on their bodies Soldiers gather over there! Soldiers with active ammunition set up defensive positions on the spot to block the enemy! These things must not be allowed to cross the fifth wall!"

As Maginot's adjutant, Levi already had the authority to issue orders to the base garrison - even if this authority was only temporarily granted to him by Maginot.

"Where's the captain? Where are the six captains under me? Let them come to me immediately!" Maginot, who came back to his senses, shouted to Levi.

The commander of Mukakh Military Base also serves as the commander of the "Seventh Armored Mixed Division" of the base garrison. As a reinforced division, it has four combat regiments, an engineering regiment, and a logistics regiment, a total of six regiments. There are more than 10,000 people, and the leaders of these six regiments are the senior officers in the base second only to Maginot.

However, before Levi had time to ask, a hesitant voice came over the intercom: "The six captains...the captains...were just discussing the distribution of new models of mechas in the hangar... "

"Hangar? Which hangar?" Maginot and Levi were both stunned. Then, they looked blankly at the giant centipede...the big hole under its body.

The voice with a hint of crying was still saying on the other end of the intercom: "That's it...it's the hangar that was attacked...The leader and the others were all trapped...No one came out...Life or death is unknown..."

What uncertainty about life and death! In this situation, there can be no survivors at all! Maginot looked down at the battlefield below with some despair. He never imagined that the opponent's first round of raids would directly kill his middle-level commanders...

"Something is not right, General!" Levi said, "This is definitely not a coincidence! I don't believe that this attack was caused by luck. The heretical sect definitely had relevant information in advance... If I remember correctly, two days ago They had agreed to discuss this matter, but the meeting place had not yet been decided at that time... The first regiment commander and the second regiment commander were still quarreling..."

Levi wanted to say that there might be spies from the heretic sect inside the base, but now was not the time to discuss this matter.

"General! Since the heretic sect's first target is the six group leaders, their next target is probably you!"

The office of the military director of Mukakh Base is located on a man-made hill made of concrete that is more than 60 meters high. Inside this hill, there is a metal frame with as many as ten floors. There are metal partitions nearly half a meter thick in each room - perhaps because it is too difficult to break through, the heretical sect did not regard this office as its primary target.

"Of course, it is not ruled out that the heretical sect has already known in advance that the military director of Mukah Base has been changed in the past few days... Compared to the generals who have just taken office, the six regiment commanders are obviously more important... Once the battle starts, these middle-level leaders The commander is the most threatening character to the heretical sect." Levi thought to himself.

"Attack me here?" Maginot was so shocked by Levi's words that the fat on his face trembled twice, "Then what should we do?"

The troops guarding the man-made hill are the security battalion directly under Maginot. Although this security battalion only has more than 200 people, it has fifty new mechas alone. It can definitely be regarded as the most powerful one in the entire Mukach base. A troop... But when Maginot cast his sights on the giant centipede in the distance, the little sense of security that the elite guard battalion brought him was gone.

He doesn't want to die here, he can't die here, and he doesn't deserve to die here...

Although he had not personally witnessed the tragic situation when Mukach Base was breached, those shocking data could be viewed by any general-level officer... He did not even need to look up the actual photos, just Browsing through the series of numbers that take your breath away, you can picture the tragic scene in your mind.

His strong desire to survive made him place his hope on the last straw he could grab - Colonel Levi, who had just been promoted to adjutant: "Levi... now, now, what should we do?"

According to the emergency response regulations, if an enemy invades the base, whether it is an indigenous creature or a heretical sect, for the sake of safety, the military director of the base must immediately move to the backup command post located in the bunker. ——That is, the compartments in the concrete hill below them that are heavily protected by thick armor plates... However, considering that the enemy attacks from underground, the bunker is obviously no longer a safe place.

Levi thought for a moment and then said: "Let's go to the tarmac!"

"Are you planning to let me leave the base?" Maginot was stunned, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, "No! This is absolutely not possible. As the military commander of Mukah, I must not leave him at this time. Escape from the base alone!"

Although he was afraid of death, Maginot also knew what it meant to run away from battle... Instead of being stripped of his military rank and all merits, then sentenced to death in a military court, and finally died in humiliation on the execution ground, Maginot would rather coexist and die with the base— —At least, this method of sacrifice can be considered glorious.

Although during the decades he served in the garrison, Maginot became more and more yearning for fame and fortune, but as an Ark soldier, there are some things that have always been engraved deep in his heart... And after receiving the transfer order At that time, even if he was unwilling to do so, he still had the consciousness he should have - even if he died here today, he would never step out of this base!

"No, it's not escaping!" Levi was stunned for half a second. Obviously, Maginot's attitude was a little beyond his expectation. "The ground is no longer safe, but if you take a vehicle to a high altitude, it should be safe." It can avoid enemy attacks... It is more convenient for you, the general, to direct the overall battle from a higher position... You must not die, at least not until the base falls."

Levi knew in his heart that if Maginot died, the situation would really be hopeless... Losing the commander would be a heavy blow to the morale of the soldiers, not to mention the inability to coordinate the command. , a chaotic situation in which different troops are fighting on their own.

He even made second-hand preparations - if General Maginot wanted to escape from the battle, he would shoot him directly, and then use Maginot's name to command the troops... As for the news of Maginot's murder, He will never announce it before the battle is over.

Even if he would be held responsible later, he would not hesitate.

But he was somewhat relieved that the new military chief, who seemed a little unqualified, didn't seem to be that bad - at least, he still retained the integrity that a soldier should have.

"Ah, yes!" Hearing what Levi said, Maginot nodded repeatedly, and then said to the commander of the guard battalion waiting aside, "Let the guard battalion go into battle immediately!"

"But... the top priority of the guard battalion is to protect your safety!" the commander of the guard battalion said hesitantly.

"Just have two people come out to protect me. Anyway, there can't be so many people on the plane." Maginot said, "You are the strongest combat force in the base. Good steel should be used on the blade, not hidden in the blade." In the sheath!”

After saying this, Maginot held the steel on his head and ran quickly towards the apron, guarded by several soldiers.

The tarmac is not far from his office, only more than 300 meters, but for Maginot, who has not exercised all year round, it is like running a marathon. When he rushed to the tarmac out of breath, he stopped. All the aircraft here have taken off to support the battle, except for a large helicopter left specifically for him.

Maginot, Levi, and several soldiers from the guard battalion quickly boarded the helicopter, and the rotating blades began to make a loud noise... But the helicopter was less than two meters away from the ground when a louder explosion came from It came from the office at the top of the hill!

The loud noise even covered up the sound of the nearby paddles, causing Maginot's cochlea to buzz.

"Oh my god..." A soldier couldn't help but swallowed, "I remember that the protective steel plate of the bunker was nearly half a meter thick, right?"

"And there are twelve whole floors..." another soldier said.

Maginot couldn't help feeling that his hands and feet were freezing - if he were still standing on the top of the mountain, he would probably be a pile of rotten meat by now, right?

"Levi..." He turned his head and looked at the adjutant beside him.

"General?"

"You also know... I was transferred from the garrison... To be honest, I still haven't figured out the purpose of this transfer order, but this is the meaning above, and I can't make any assumptions... …But I have to be honest with you about one thing.”

"You said it." Levi nodded.

"Actually, I don't have any command experience in a base offensive and defensive battle like this." Maginot said, "Maybe... no, not maybe, but definitely... any one of the six captains will definitely be better than I am strong. But they are all gone now... I hope you can lead this battle instead of me, can you do it? "

Maginot looked at Levi with a hint of hope.

The other party was a veteran who had been in this base for four years. In terms of combat experience, he was better than him, a general who sat in the office every day reviewing and approving documents.

"I..." Levi hesitated for a second, then nodded vigorously, "I'll try my best."

"Thank you... I leave everything to you. Don't have any scruples. I will take full responsibility." Maginot said solemnly.

…

…

At the same time, inside the ancient battleship "Yagunaktor", there was the power room.

The reconnaissance team "hanging" on the floor endured nearly thirty seconds of acceleration before the huge force pressing on them disappeared, and the ship's originally tilted upward gradually returned to level.

"...The battleship rushed out of the magma pool? Are we...are we above the molten mine area now?" The hound rubbed his chest and asked breathlessly.

"That should be it...it's a pity that I can't see outside..."

As soon as Leiton finished speaking, a circle of phantoms like holographic projection suddenly appeared around him. Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was the lead-gray clouds above the mining area.

As if he thought of something, Layton immediately spoke, and then shouted: "Look at the bottom of your feet!"

There is also a shadow on the floor - or in other words, the floor itself has become a shadow, and everyone seems to be suspended in the air, with a panoramic view of the molten mine area directly below!

Those flowing magma rivers, smoking fissures, interlocking fractured plates... Even the heretical sect troops walking through the mining area can be seen clearly.

And those people on the ground also saw the giant thing suspended in the sky.

I don't know why, but even though the influence of those people is smaller than a grain of rice, the hound can still see the horrified look on their faces.

"Damn! It's a heretic sect! Those are humans wearing protective suits! There are also erosion seeds! Look, over there, and over there, they are all mutants! Oh my god, there are so many of them!" the hound exclaimed. .

"Ke Lan? Ke Lan?! Can you hear me? Is there any usable weapon on this battleship? It can hit those guys on the ground - damn, we are forced like a sewer by these guys Like the rats in the house, now it’s our turn to fight back!”
