I Am the Swarm

Chapter 249 Breaking In

The exterior of the entire base is made of extremely strong metal and transparent glass-like substances. The whole is a sealed structure with an independent air circulation system inside.

Those glass-like substances seem to be fragile, but they are actually extremely hard and very thick. Even if the gunfire is concentrated and crushed, it will be difficult to break through for a while.

On the contrary, those seemingly harder metal structures are weaker in some places because of the different functions they need to undertake.

For example, there are several exits for maintenance personnel to go out to repair instruments and equipment, and their thickness is only half or even one third of the fortress wall.

And the bugs quickly found these places. The raiders carefully turned to the blind spot of the surveillance equipment in front of the door, then approached and destroyed it.

Some bugs with slightly different appearances from the raiders climbed to the front, pouted their buttocks and sprayed puddles of viscous liquid towards the door. This is the oldest and most basic acid spraying system. After improvements, the strength of the acid solution has increased hundreds of times, which is enough to corrode these hard metals.

Even the muscles on the inner wall of its launch tube have been improved, enough to spray the acid twenty meters away.

In the monitoring room of the fortress, a monitor suddenly turned into a snowflake.

"MD, this shit is broken again, the guy who bought these things should go to court-martial." A Riken soldier complained. Then, he picked up the communicator: "Group three, group three, the monitoring in front of the No. 7 maintenance channel is broken, you go and see what's going on?"

Unfortunately, he waited for a long time and did not get a response from the other side. He patted the communication equipment, and suddenly saw that the monitors were blacked out again. He was vigilant and had a premonition that something was wrong.

Before he could call other teams to check the situation, the shrill siren sounded.

On another instrument that monitors the interior space of the entire base, several rooms connected to the maintenance passages turned red one after another, which meant that their structures were damaged and outside air invaded them.

He hurriedly looked at the other wall, which was the screen displayed by the monitoring equipment inside the base. The monitoring screen of the room connected to the channel had been blacked out, and the monitoring of the channel connected to it was also rapidly destroyed.

Before one of the screens went black, he seemed to see a boundless sea of ​​insects.

He didn't care about being surprised, and hurriedly called his companions and sounded the alarm.

As a result, the alarm that sounded only in the monitoring room resounded throughout the base.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Cross, the base's top officer, was still in a video conference.

The ear-piercing siren startled the big bosses in the meeting, and hurriedly checked and found that it was not the siren of the ship to which they belonged.

"Clos, what's going on with you?" Major General Porter was the first to discover that the siren was coming from Klose's video communication. As her elder, he hurriedly asked concerned.

Kloss was also in a daze at this time. She didn't know why the alarm sounded in the safe fortress base.

At this moment, her adjutant whispered something in her ear, and Kloss's face showed an unbelievable and shocked expression.

"What's wrong with Kloss?!" Seeing Kloss's expression, Potter knew that he must have understood the situation, so he hurriedly asked again.

"Those bugs have invaded my base!?" Kloss still couldn't believe it.

Not only she couldn't believe it, but the other commanders couldn't believe it either.

"How is it possible? With the combat power shown by that group of bugs, let alone how they avoid the detection equipment, they can't break through just the defense of the fortress." A captain shouted, and he looked suspiciously at Looking at Kloss, it seems that she is grandstanding. He has long disliked this young relative.

"Shut up, Klose, organize your defense immediately and see if you need support. At the same time, open your base monitoring authorization, I want to see the situation on the spot." General Masai, the supreme commander of the expeditionary fleet, stopped the noisy Everyone, give orders directly.

Kloss felt a little helpless. Although she couldn't see much in the surveillance video inside the base, who likes to let others watch the area under their jurisdiction. However, there is no way, who made her make a mistake here.

The artificial intelligence of the base was called to open the authority, and soon, surveillance videos from all over the base were put on the meeting.

It's a pity that these monitoring can't see too many things. Because the monitoring probes that can see the situation have been hacked, but at the moment before some probes are hacked, you can still see the endless Zerg army rushing past.

Kloss didn't care about the privacy of the base at this time. She thought it was just a few bugs that got in from nowhere, but she didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

This was the time when the base's defenses were most empty, and the Zerg chose to attack at this time. It was hard for her to believe that it was a coincidence. But the sense of superiority of advanced intelligent creatures made her unwilling to believe that those bugs could do such a thing.

But now is not the time to think about these things. The situation is urgent, so she hastily ordered all the hatches to be closed to delay the Zerg's attack.

At the same time, she did not forget to ask for help. It happened that all the commanders were watching the surveillance video and realized the seriousness of the problem. But now is the time for the major bases to attack the worm's nest crypt. Re-coordinating forces and arranging rescue teams will take thirty minutes to arrive at the fastest. This is the result of the extremely fast flying speed of the Rickon spacecraft.

The garrison army in the pit near her is quite close, and they can return to help in five minutes at the earliest. But before she gave the order to let them return for help, she received a request for help from there.

In the pit position, a large number of raiders got out from nowhere and surrounded the security forces. They launched a suicide charge. Most of the manpower over there had already been withdrawn. There were not many gunboats and transport ships left. Under the crazy attack of the Zerg, they were already in danger.

The pits, other crypts, and the attack on the fortress base, the cold sweat on Cross's back broke out. The links are interlocking, interlocking, and there is a taste of conspiracy everywhere.

Although she is still unable to guess what the real purpose of the Zerg is, the picture is certainly not simple.

There is no way, now she can only hope that those strong hatches can hold back the Zerg, as long as it is delayed for half an hour, the reinforcements will arrive one after another.

This hope is still great, because the fortress base is very large, with many rooms and almost the same structure. Even the Riken people who work and live inside can easily get lost in the base if they don't have a navigation map on their personal terminals.

Coupled with the sturdy hatch, with the Zerg's primitive body, it should be difficult to damage it.

And there are a small number of automatic defense weapons in the passage. These weapons are controlled by artificial intelligence, and all of them can function normally. I believe that relying on these, it should not be a big problem to stop the Zerg army for half an hour.
