I Am the Swarm

"Has anyone seen what it is?"

"No."

"Angulo, report the situation."

"Captain, the magnetic field response has disappeared, and the opponent seems to have optical invisibility, but there is no thermal energy response."

"Go to two people to have a look!" Hasimu shook his head and ordered two players.

The two players nodded without talking nonsense, and were about to step forward.

"Wait, captain, there are a lot of biological reactions ahead!"

"Is it a bat again?"

"No! They are from the ground... wait, there are also on the walls." Angulo suddenly looked up, "There are also on the top! Be careful, they are coming!"

"Check the equipment! Defensive formation! Add two more flares!" Hasimu yelled, and the team members hurriedly checked the firearms, replaced the energy source, and then aimed forward with the help of the simple bunker.

Two flares were launched into the air, re-lighting the originally dark space. Wisps of white smoke rose from the ground, accompanied by a burnt smell. Even if the helmet was integrated with a gas mask, the smell could not be completely blocked, which made people feel sick.

And as the rustling sound gradually approached, the team members finally saw the incoming enemy clearly.

This is a weird bug, about forty centimeters in size, somewhat like a spider, with four pairs of thick legs, of which the first two pairs of legs have mutated into a bayonet-like shape.

They have metallic exoskeletons attached to their exteriors, which are extremely sharp. Judging from the shape, it is known that these bugs are very good at stabbing.

Hasimu looked at the three to forty centimeter long thorny feet, and realized that these guys were more dangerous. If they got close to them, the protective clothing worn by the team members might not be able to defend against such attacks.

Moreover, the smaller bugs are more flexible. They can not only walk on the slippery rock walls, but also run like flying. Even, their multi-jointed feet endow them with good jumping ability.

What's even more frightening is that half of the membrane wings are attached between the legs, allowing them to glide for a short distance after jumping up, which makes their actions more strange and unpredictable.

"Attack!" Hasimu didn't wait for them to get too close, and gave the command to fire 300 meters away, and the red beams flew randomly for a while.

But immediately, the guard team discovered something even more terrifying.

These bugs can hide bullets?

Their body structure gives them the ability to move quickly across short distances, and their heads are equipped with two pairs of four eyes for advanced dynamic vision.

Although due to their large number and narrow terrain, they are still being hit constantly. But they are much more difficult to deal with than the target-like bat creatures just now.

The 300-meter line was quickly advanced, and in just half a minute, the bugs approached 50 meters away from the team.

"Koness, are you still unable to contact the spaceship?" Hasimu yelled. When he was attacked by bat creatures just now, he asked the communication soldiers to call for rescue. Unfortunately, it is too deep underground, and there is interference from unknown magnetic fields, which makes their communication equipment useless.

Communications soldier Koness shook his head in despair.

"Fuck!" Hasimu yelled angrily, "Use the flamethrower! Spray out all the fuel, keep the formation and retreat, how many can go!"

Two pillars of fire sprayed out again, and the elite team retreated while fighting. The oxygen in the air was rapidly consumed, and Hasimu already felt a little difficult to breathe.

"Put on the oxygen tank and save your own life!"

As soon as Hasimu finished speaking, Angulo next to him wept, pointed at the screen of the instrument tremblingly, and said in despair: "Captain, they...they are everywhere, we are surrounded..."

Hasimu, who was shooting, turned his head, and sure enough, on the instrument, around their team, there were already dense red dots, and there was no so-called retreat at all.

"MD, this is a trap!" Hasmu finally reacted.

"Sneva, you take a dozen people to open a road behind and cover Koness out!"

"Yes! Captain!" A tall Liken man took the order and ordered a dozen people to run to the rear.

"Koness!"

"team leader?"

"All cover you, send back the situation here, let the captain and the others know the situation here, if we die, they will avenge us!"

"Yes! Captain!" Cornes carried the communication device on his back, his tone was slightly crying, but he still saluted firmly, then turned and left.

"Ah!" There was a scream.

Since Sneva turned to the rear with more than a dozen people, the area he was in charge of just now lacked firepower, and a few bugs rushed in quickly. One of them jumped one by one, stabbing its feet directly into a team member's mask.

After the team member screamed, his body was so soft that he convulsed, and he didn't get up for a long time. The damaged mask gradually bled.

A team member beside him swooped forward, pulled down the bug, pulled out the tactical dagger tied to the side of his leg with his backhand, and nailed the bug to the ground.

"Emil! Emil!" He repeatedly called the player's name and shook his body vigorously. Unfortunately, his teammates did not respond to him.

Regardless of the toxins in the outside air, he pressed a few times on the side of Emil's helmet, and the damaged mask fell off, revealing a blue face behind him.

A hideous wound went straight from the side of his nose to the back of his head. No matter how advanced the technology of the Rickens, this kind of injury should not be cured.

This is the first case of the escort team being reduced in combat, but it will certainly not be the last. Everyone feels a little heavy. Although as an elite guard, they have long been prepared to die in battle, but when they come to a critical moment, they are still somewhat timid.

"Fuck!" Hasimu cursed angrily, and roared, "Throw a grenade! Let the bugs see these cute gadgets!"

Due to the deep underground here, the previous few shock bombs caused huge movements. Therefore, it is not with a certain death mentality, and Hasimu will never use a grenade until the last moment.

Because as they retreat, the channel is narrowing rapidly, and the area they need to defend is also reducing. So, even though he was yelling for the captain to avenge them just now, he still had a slight illusion of getting out of trouble.

But now, he has seen the lethality of the bugs, and, due to the fire rate of the firearms and the flexibility of the bugs, these bugs have rushed to a distance of 5 meters, Hasmu realized that they are really hard to escape.

So, a desperate order was issued.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

...

Intensive explosions sounded, and gravel flew for a while.

Because these gravels are dense and their trajectory is unpredictable, the damage caused to the bugs is greater than that of the grenade itself.

But this is no longer helpful, the visual occlusion caused by the grenade also has an impact on the elite guards.

"ah!"

"ah!"

... Before the smoke and dust cleared, several screams came out.
