I Am the Swarm

"Captain, what do you say above?"

"All return to the transport ship, pull up the height, stand by on the spot, and pay attention to whether there is anything coming out of the cave."

"Huh, I'm really afraid that the officers will directly order us to go down." A member of the team gasped with some gratitude, and smiled on his face.

"Haha, you coward."

"Tch, then go down, I'll cover you from above."

"Hmph, you will be punished for acting without authorization."

Not long after the special forces boarded the transport ship, two gunboats flew from the distant sky. Several incendiary bombs were projected near the entrance of the crypt, and a raging fire ignited.

Black smoke rose, and the grassland with a radius of three kilometers was burned. The ground was covered with black embers, but the field of vision was also opened up, no longer blocked by the two-meter-high grass.

"Captain, what is this for?" A team member of the TZ091 team, who was on standby above the cave, watched the whole scene, asked in confusion.

The captain shook his head. His level was not high enough to understand the whole plan.

"It must be that the headquarters is going to make a big move. This is an early clearance." Another team member interjected.

"Tch, it's up to you to say, I also know that there is going to be a big move, but do you know what the big move is?"

"Haha, look, the grass is thick and long..."

Not long after the fire was extinguished, various warships flew over from the sky again. This time the number was quite large, as many as dozens, including more than 20 transport ships and more than 40 gunboats.

"Call TZ091, call TZ091, this is TZ083." A voice suddenly came from the communicator.

"TZ091 received, please tell me." The wiring team member replied immediately after seeing the captain nodding.

"Haha, is your captain Wen Te here?" In the communicator, the wind changed, and a rough voice came.

The captain patted the operator on the shoulder and picked up the microphone: "Mana? Is that you?"

"Haha, it's me. I didn't expect it. I've also been promoted. Now I'm the captain of TZ083, and the number is still in front of you."

"Congratulations, we haven't seen each other since we set off. I'll treat you to a drink when the mission is over." Winter and Mana have been friends for many years, but after they set off from Star Ricken, due to the fact that they belonged to different teams, they arranged a ride. The ships are different, so it has been a long time since I saw you, so I am very pleasantly surprised to see you again at this time.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, but this mission has to be careful, don't capsize in the gutter."

"What? Do you have any inside information?"

The other side was silent for a while, and then said: "Anyway, the officer didn't order you not to let me know, so it shouldn't be a secret. How did you come to be a brigade?"

Winter was also a little puzzled. When he set off, the opponent was a level lower than himself, just a sub-team, but when he arrived at the ground, the opponent was promoted. Could it be that he made some great achievements? Because the other party was his friend, he was too embarrassed to ask directly, but he didn't expect the other party to bring it up now.

Before Wente could reply, Mana continued, "We also received a mission to find the reason for the disappearance of the patrol team, and we also found a hole. The brigade didn't listen to dissuasion and insisted on going down to take a look, but it didn't work anymore. When I came back, I lost more than a dozen brothers. Then, my sub-team became the main team.”

"..." I didn't expect the reason to be so simple and rude, and Wen Te didn't know what to say. However, thinking about it at this time, I was a little scared. Fortunately, he was cautious, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to come back after going down. He didn't want to continue the topic, so he asked, "Do you know what you're going to do now?"

"Did you not receive the mission notice?"

"Just say let's stay alert and stand by."

"It may be that the specific mission information has not been sent to you. Well, we are performing the same mission. It should not be a secret. Let me tell you first."

The corner of Winter's mouth twitched, is this really okay? But before he could stop him, Mana continued, "Did you see those ships next to us? These are all special forces performing missions nearby. They were ordered to take the lead first. The large force just came out of orbit. Let's go, it will take a while to get here."

"What big move is this going to do?" Winter couldn't care less, and asked curiously.

"That's for sure. It is said that this time is a big action involving tens of thousands of people."

"So many? Is it so dangerous down there?"

"I don't know how dangerous it is, but the bottom is too narrow, the team can't spread out, and it's useless to have more people. It is said that the higher-ups also know about this problem, so they sent an engineering team down to dig a hole. We all used cover , the risk should not be great."

"Sounds good."

Soon enough, the large force that Manor had spoken of arrived.

Hundreds of transport ships and gunboats descended mightily from the sky, and some large metal modules and parts were hoisted under the transport ships and air-dropped directly onto the scorched land.

Then a few large transport ships with a length of 50 meters drove down some construction machinery, cooperated with the thousands of engineers carried on the small transport ships, and began to quickly assemble the equipment.

Along with the fleet came 5,000 soldiers who built some simple fortifications around the assembly site. Especially the direction of the cave entrance was taken special care, and even many mines were laid around it.

Through the observation equipment on many spaceships and soldiers' personal terminals, the commanders far away in planetary orbit are watching the live broadcast.

"Isn't the other party really a hidden civilized race?" A captain wondered. Although it was previously speculated that there is a high probability that the underground is some kind of awakened ancient species, other options cannot be ruled out.

"It seems so. We deliberately assembled equipment at the entrance of the cave with great fanfare. If the other party has wisdom, they should not be able to bear it." The large construction site below is actually a trap. If the underground things can't help rushing out, hide Hundreds of gunboats in the sky will definitely surprise the other party.

"On the contrary, it's because of the wild beasts that they can't bear the harassment at the door. The other party can bear it so far, but I think it's a sign of the other party's high intelligence." A captain raised objections.

"It makes sense." A captain echoed.

"But according to the records, wild animals have the possibility of avoiding disadvantages. If they face an unmatched enemy, they will back down." A captain retorted.

Due to the high degree of mechanization on the home planet of the Ricken tribe, wild animals have been basically extinct, and the few surviving ones have been carefully fed in zoos and botanical gardens, and they are no longer wild. And other colony planets are not living planets, let alone living things.

Therefore, their knowledge of wild animals is only learned from videos and books, and they can only guess about some situations.

"Don't argue, the answer will be known soon. Since the last attack was at night, let the soldiers cheer up at night and pay attention to vigilance."
