Harry potter galactic empire

Chapter 2 nasty bugs

On the gravel dune, Lin Mo's scope was aimed at the dark gravel cave entrance 1,500 meters away.

The enemy is the Zerg, or in other words, the Zerg.

According to the captain, long before the founding of the Republic, during the era of the Galaxy Exploration Alliance, the Zerg were humanity's biggest enemy. After the founding of the Republic, with the expansion of the colonial star field, the conflict between humans and the Zerg became more intense, and this finally broke out.

This is a war that continues to this day, with the battle lines spread out nearly 10,000 light-years across thousands of large and small star fields.

On frontline planets like Aier Star, people are accustomed to mourning in silence toward the stars at night. From time to time, there will be a star that suddenly lights up and then disappears, indicating that another starship exploded in deep space at that moment.

For ashes.

Just like now, Lin Mo felt the sky light up slightly.

He didn't look distracted.

"There are five springtails approaching in the cave. One of them is relatively large and should be a second-level mature body." The voice of a seagull came from the left. She was giving instructions to the communication device: "The big guy is suppressing fire, and the thin monkey is supporting."

, the robots and wild dogs should not fire, and be careful to stay hidden. Xiao Mo continues to prepare, the main target has not appeared yet."

Lin Mo's heart trembled as he saw two springtails probing through the narrow scope.

Although he had seen it many times, the ferocious appearance of the Zerg still gave him chills. Those metal-like bone spurs and sickle-sharp limbs, coupled with extremely fast reaction speed, could cause huge damage in an instant once they broke into the human line.

This is only the weakest zerg body.

The big man in the distance arched his body, and the Gatling-like machine gun sprayed out flames. The two three-meter-long white springtails were beaten to pieces at the entrance of the gravel hole, and the scythe forelimb of one of them was shattered in an instant.

, a large amount of viscous yellow liquid gushed out from the cracked shell, and he screamed and fell to the ground before he could break out of the cave.

But the big machine gun didn't stop firing. After a while, a five-meter-long dark yellow springtail stepped on the corpses of the first two and squeezed out of the cave. Its dark yellow carapace lasted longer under the fire, bending

The hind limbs opened their teeth and claws and pounced on the big guy.

Lin Mo didn't shoot, it wasn't the time for him to shoot.

Or according to the captain's statement, no matter how cheap the metal block bullets he equips Lin Mo Bee Sting 3 are, they are much more valuable than the gunpowder bullets mounted on the big guy. The big guy can suppress this second-level mature body, even if the thin monkey

The remaining two small ones can be dealt with without wearing mecha, and there is no need for Lin Mo to shoot.

War is about economics, especially the war against Zerg.

In the ongoing flames of war, even Lin Mo has learned how to save every bullet.

Although the Republic has had a slight upper hand in the war against the Zerg for thousands of years, and the battle line has been gradually advancing on the third spiral arm of the Galaxy, more than thirty years ago, the Zerg suddenly counterattacked in an all-out way, breaking through in just a few weeks.

In the next twenty years, the Republic lost nearly a quarter of the Stargate, which was the focus of defense by hundreds of humans, including thousands of habitable planets that had been colonized for hundreds of years.

, that was almost equivalent to one-tenth of the star field of the Republic at that time.

In the great rout, countless civilians were unable to evacuate in time, and no one survived.

It wasn't until ten years ago that the situation changed. The Republic finally stabilized its front once again and began to advance slowly.

Aiur is a habitable planet that was once lost, and it was also one of the first planets to be recaptured from the Zerg ten years ago.

In the scope, the second-order springtail finally staggered and fell in front of the big man. Its compound eye clusters and fangs and mouth had been beaten to pieces, but it didn't look completely dead. It lay on the gravel ground.

Struggling and twitching, the two little ones that finally rushed out fell over not far away.

"There are three more protozoan springtails approaching you in the cave. Be careful." The voice of a seagull came from the left.

On the gravel hill, Lin Mo licked his lips with two cracks. He was a little annoyed that he had forgotten to apply military grease when preparing for battle. The Sea Snake Team's garrison base is in the Gobi Plain, and the air here is like a water absorber.

It can suck moisture out of the skin. If you don't protect it well, you will turn into a mummy in a short time.

He gently pressed the bee sting 3's sight with his left hand, and several numbers appeared on the sight of the sight: 22:19:43

He will turn eleven in just over half an hour.

Although the Republic had lit up El Star on the map as early as ten years ago, the battle here was not over.

In the counterattack, there are too many fallen planets like this. After the regular army has eliminated the large insect nests and mother insect lords, they will immediately move to the next planet to land on the battlefield, and the rest of the battle will be left to some like the Haiyan Corps.

A mercenary group was used to complete the work, which is customarily called cleaning work.

Although they have lost the unified command and control of the mother worm, the zerg will only disperse into small groups like animals to fight on their own. However, due to their large number and concealment, the ground cleaning work is still full of dangers.

As we all know, weapons of mass destruction must not be used on habitable planets. Every naturally habitable planet is a treasure of mankind, far more valuable than thousands, tens, or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

What's more, they are mercenaries whose lives are not that valuable.

Through the scope, Lin Mo saw that the big guy had retreated and the mechanical hand was helping him cool the barrel.

"Stop watching the show and get ready to work!" the captain's voice came from behind.

"Who the hell is watching the show..." Lin Mo muttered in his heart.

In the past few years of following the Sea Serpent Team on missions, he has already figured out the two skills that the captain is best at: watching dramas and running away.

This guy likes watching dramas but is reluctant to use a miniature reconnaissance aircraft. He always stands behind Lin Mo with an old-fashioned high-power telescope and spits out orders. When he runs, he runs very fast and drives as if he is desperate for his life.

On their giant modified off-road vehicle, the robot had to repair the brake system three times a month. There was a basket full of replaced magnetic brake pads, and the captain didn't feel any distress. They were much more expensive than bullets.

"Fifteen from the right," the captain's voice sounded again: "One thousand six"

"Seagull!" Lin Mocai was too lazy to listen to the position reported by the captain.

The seagull on the side quickly clicked on the arm-mounted communicator. At the same time, a row of data flashed in Lin Mo's sight.

Orientation: 15.6 degrees to the right, horizontal meters, depression angle 3.8 degrees

Wind direction: 30 degrees to the right of the target

Wind speed: 3.3 meters per second

Air pressure: 1.24 units

Gravity: 0.9 units

The data in his field of vision was changing, but Lin Mo found the target immediately.

"The target has been locked." Lin Mo said again: "Turn on vibration-assisted imaging."

The field of view in the sight flickered slightly, becoming much clearer and brighter. A trace of fluctuation could be seen on the gravel ground in the center of the field of view, and a narrow outline of an insect body of four to five meters was marked on the gravel ground.

"Confirmed to be a self-destructing sandworm, native"

The sound of seagulls continues in the ears and headset

Lin Mo has entered [soy sauce state].

Location, wind direction, speed and pressure gravity...

The speed at which the sandworm travels underground, the shape of its streamlined limbs, and the location of its central ganglion...

The igniter of the explosive fluid in the sandworm's abdomen, the stones on the path...

In an instant, a series of perceptions came into his mind and became something like intuition. Lin Mo slowly pulled the trigger.

The sound of seagulls was drowned in the crackle of bee stings.

The sand in the distance suddenly exploded, and the gravel mixed with acid splashed.

"Bang bang" sounded twice one after another.

The first sound was the sound of a metal block bullet passing through the sand, and the second sound was the sound of the metal block shattering the ignition sac of the self-exploding sandworm, causing an explosion of acidic explosive fluid in its abdomen after a short delay.

"Shoot the central ganglion!" The captain's distressed and angry voice came from behind: "Ganglia!!" "How many times have I said it! There are only so many good things in the sandworm, and they are all gone with this explosion!!!"

Lin Mo was still aiming his sights, but his left hand left the gun and gestured behind him. He raised his middle finger, using a gesture from the distant past to express his contempt for the captain's stinginess.

"What do you mean by the gesture you made yourself..." The voice of a seagull came to my ears.

"I've told you before, this gesture expresses sincere admiration and admiration..." Lin Mo replied without changing his expression, his right eye still attached to the scope.

The central ganglion of the self-destructing sandworm is much smaller than the ignition sac in the abdomen. This is Lin Mo's first shot today. He does not want to take any risks. The location where the sandworm appears is less than two hundred meters away from the big body. Even if it is potentially

Under the sand, it only takes a few breaths to rush forward.

"Forty left, one thousand seven hundred"

"Ten on the right!"

The voices of the captain and the seagulls sounded back and forth.

Two light spots appeared on the edge of the three-dimensional image and moved quickly towards the big guys. Before the seagull could give the order, a third light spot also lit up from the right.

Three protozoa self-destructed sandworms!

This is the most important goal of their mission.

"The main targets have all appeared. The wild dogs are responsible for retrieving the traps, the big man and the thin monkey are guarding the cave, and the robot is responsible for the sandworms in the northwest. Move more quickly. I don't want to see your right hand become mechanical," said the man next to me.

Seagull gave instructions quickly while talking nonsense while operating the communication device: "Lin Mo, prepare."

At the same time that the data in the scope's field of view jumped and changed, Lin Mo had already brought the target into the field of view.

Although the gravel ground was gray, he could still see the wave traces left by the sandworm at once.

Hold your breath, aim, lock, soy sauce state, pull the trigger.

The boy's body shook violently.

This time, after the blast of bee stings, there was only one sound in the distance.

"Next one." The voice of a seagull came from the side. Lin Mo did not hesitate, turned his body slightly, and the muzzle of the gun was facing the direction marked by the seagull:

Lock, soy sauce state, pull the trigger.

There was still only one sound.

After using the soy sauce state three times in less than a minute, Lin Mo's face turned slightly pale, but he still aimed at the scope and quickly found the position of the manipulator.

The battle over there is not over yet.

In the field of view of the quasi-scope, a wave mark on the gravel ground had moved from far to near, and was now less than 20 meters away from the robot hand. Lin Mo tightened his fingers slightly and raised his breath.

Then he discovered the detonator on the manipulator's hand and the inconspicuous Pian'er beacon on the sand.

Lin Mo let go of his finger on the trigger and secretly said it was a pity.

Killing a self-destructing sandworm with an explosion will almost certainly cause a secondary explosion, but there is no guarantee that he can adjust his condition again in such a short period of time to crush the central ganglion of the last sandworm. He knew that,

If the distance is safer, Seagull might let him fire a shot first, but at a distance of less than 20 meters, it is safer to let the robot directly kill the target.

Two roars were heard close together in the distance, and the sandworm exploded again after the grenade detonated.

Lin Mo's eyes finally left the scope.

He glanced at the three-dimensional image in front of the seagull. There was no outline of light points representing the enemy. Finally, he moved his body. There was a sharp stone under his body, which made him very uncomfortable.

"The target has been cleared and the mission is completed. The big wild dog and Xiao Mo remain vigilant while the rest clean up the battlefield." The seagull on the side said: "Keep your eyes open for me, and check the bits and pieces of the bed bug explosion. Don't miss the good stuff!

"

"Call it done!" the captain's voice came from behind Lin Mo.

At the same time, there were several engine roars coming from behind. Lin Mo knew that it was the captain riding the sand motorcycle to clean the battlefield. The young man held his breath in time to avoid tasting the sand that hit his face the next moment.

smell.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the captain also has a third skill that he is good at: touching corpses.

There will definitely not be anything good left in the remains of the bugs that have been cleaned up by the captain. He can cut out the brain crystals, glands, and poison sacs of the bugs with extremely skillful techniques, and cut off the tooth edges and bone shells with the highest mineral density.

Even a robot hand cannot use his mechanical left hand to remove intact mutated organs that are valuable for research or appreciation. This can be done faster.

Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh that paddling was everywhere while watching a play and touching corpses.

I don’t know when I will catch up with the captain’s level...

He lowered his head and looked at the physical indicator on his wrist. It was 22:30 on the Republican calendar, half an hour before twenty-three o'clock.

The battle was over, so he simply set a thirty-minute countdown reminder.

Lin Mo knew that people here didn't like to celebrate birthdays, at least on planets like El Star that were close to the front line. No one liked to celebrate birthdays. They were used to observing the sky for a moment of silence on birthday nights, and then continuing to live.

It's just... He sighed, no matter what, his birthday is still meaningful to him.

"Why are you sighing, little Momo, tell me what's on your mind," the soft voice of a seagull came to your ears: "Don't worry, I won't tell those guys, just tell me

…”

Lin Mo smiled and shook his head, took a few sips from a water bag from his waist, and pursed his chapped lips.

The sun of Aiur star has become smaller, gradually sinking dimly into the desolate horizon.

The two moons in the sky are brighter.

"Xiao Mo, Seagull!" The voice of a wild dog suddenly came from the headset: "Put a few more microcomputers out to look around and expand the scope of the investigation. I don't know why I feel a little uneasy."

Without any hesitation, Lin Mo threw the water bag aside and applied the cold bee stinger again.

Seagull also immediately pressed the button on her arm-mounted communicator, and five coin-sized reconnaissance planes buzzed out.

The three-dimensional image in front of her gradually expanded.

"Nothing unusual has been found yet," the seagull said.

Lin Mo's tense body relaxed slightly.

"That's good..." The wild dog in the headset also breathed a sigh of relief: "Stay vigilant and continue to expand the scope of investigation. We will soon finish cleaning up here."

"Wait a minute!" the seagull's voice suddenly sounded: "There is a big guy due north! That's not right."

She looked at the three-dimensional image sent back by the microcomputer, her expression suddenly changed, and she clicked down the conspicuous red module on the communication device.

Five warning screams sounded in everyone's earphones.

Followed by the cry of seagulls:

"To the north, 2,900 meters away, are five big guys, at least third-level mature bodies!"

The location where the captain and the others are is exactly north.

"It's a third-order mutant," Lin Mo said in a cold voice. A large amount of sweat oozed from his forehead. Through the scope, he had already seen the traces left on the sand by one of them: "It's a third-order mutant self-destructing sandworm."

!”

"Third-order mutant?! Xiao Mo, are you sure? There can't be one in this area."

"To the west!" The seagull looked at the light spots on the image and spoke faster and faster: "There are also east and south!"

The red module of the communication device beeps like crazy.

"Thirteen, at least eight are third-order bodies, we are surrounded... Captain" Seagull synchronized the reduced two-dimensional real-time image to everyone's wrist vital signs device:

"This is a trap."

"Trap?" The gruff voice was that of a big man: "When will the dead bugs come?"

The big man's voice was interrupted by the captain's voice.

"Seagull!" He said seriously: "Get in the car and rush west."

"Take Xiaomo and get out!"
