I Am the Swarm

"Shut up! If you don't want to continue walking, find a room to hide yourself, and don't hurt others." Kloss shouted angrily, and the majesty of the base commander immediately shocked the sobbing female Rikens.

"Not good, the hatch can't be opened." The hatches in the base are usually controlled by artificial intelligence. Now that the base is powered off, the artificial intelligence also shuts down. Naturally, the hatch cannot be opened and closed at will.

However, when the base was being built, this kind of power outage had been foreseen, and the most basic mechanical door opening device was installed on the hatch, commonly known as manual door opening.

Several strong patients stepped forward under the flashlights of their companions. Although their bodies were still a little weak, they were still stronger than the civilian staff.

Open a baffle on the hatch to reveal the old-fashioned turning handle inside. Several strong men grabbed a place each, and then exerted force together. The turning handle slowly turned, and the hatch opened slowly.

Everyone hurried through, but due to the low efficiency of opening the door, the speed of the team is still slightly behind the advancing speed of the Zerg.

When the team passed through 10 hatches, the Zerg had already passed through 14 hatches.

It is impossible to go on like this, we must find a way, otherwise it is very likely that we will be overtaken by the Zerg before we reach the tarmac.

"Turn left here." After passing through two hatches, Cross said suddenly.

"Sir, turning left will take a detour." Al Qaeda reminded eagerly. He had to make sure Cross got to the tarmac safely.

"Turn left and walk two hatches to a storage room. There are three sets of exoskeleton armor in it. With them, we can open the door faster." Cross explained.

Hearing that Kloss didn't want to change the destination, Al-Qaeda stopped talking, but buried his head forward to open the way.

After a while, with the help of the exoskeleton armor, the team moved much faster. The device that originally required multiple strong men to turn it can now be easily completed with two armors.

Although the movement of these three armored vehicles was a bit loud, they couldn't care less now. The Zerg seems to have locked their position, even if they were careful to cover up the sound before, they did not confuse the Zerg.

Due to power failure, although the personal terminal has its own energy battery, it can still be used continuously. However, the monitoring in the base has been shut down, and it is impossible to know the current location of the Zerg specifically.

In the dark passage, the lights of the tactical flashlight flickered, illuminating paths. The sound of footsteps, breathing, and sporadic sobbing sounds seemed to be magnified countless times in the dark environment, and they were clearly audible.

I don't know if it's a hallucination, but Kloss always felt that the rustling sound of the Zerg limbs rubbing against the steel wall was approaching behind her. That voice, vaguely present, constantly challenged her nerves.

She finally couldn't bear it and turned around and shone the flashlight behind her, but behind her was only the dark wall and the faintly closed cabin door in the distance.

But her actions still caused panic among many people in the team.

More flashlights shone behind him. Although there was nothing, everyone was getting more and more afraid, as if there were invisible beasts chasing them in the dark.

"Clos, hold on, the support will arrive in ten minutes." Although the energy supply in the base was destroyed, the communication function of the personal terminal can still be used as usual.

After the monitoring power outage at the base just now, the live broadcast over the conference room was also cut off. Afterwards, Major General Porter contacted Cross, giving her encouragement from time to time and providing some information by the way.

At the beginning, Kloss was still in the mood to reply and talk about her current situation, but later on, her nerves became more and more tense. She just wanted to rush to the tarmac as soon as possible, and she was in no mood to reply. Only Major General Porter was left to say a few words of information from time to time.

The more they ran, the weaker their legs became. They didn't know whether they were tired or frightened.

Fortunately, although we were frightened along the way, the Zerg never appeared. Under such circumstances, everyone finally came to the top-floor apron.

Since most of the personnel in the base were dispatched to support other places, they must take transportation to go out. Therefore, there are only three transport boats and two gunboats left in the hangar.

Relying on these five spaceships alone, trying to take away these hundreds of people is simply a dream.

The problem that Kloss was worried about just now, just over ten minutes later, was really placed in front of her, and she had to face it.

No matter how she distributes, some people will always be sacrificed.

Fortunately, at this time Al Qaeda took the initiative to stand up and become the villain: "Some people who can fly a spaceship go up, and the rest look for weapons to prepare for defense. Rescue will arrive in ten minutes. If we are lucky, we don't even have to follow Meet the Zerg."

Everyone thought about it for this reason, and put away their own little thoughts. There are two equipment depots next to the apron, which store some weapons and breathing masks.

Originally, the weapons were locked, but unfortunately, after the power was cut off, all the electronic locks failed, and the team obtained some weapon supplies.

With weapons in their hands, everyone became more courageous.

Kloss even felt that she should take the opportunity to show her performance and lead everyone to defend here for a few minutes, which would not be too difficult. If successful, her resume will look much better.

However, just as she was about to give a mobilizing speech, she saw a large hole slowly being corroded on the closed hatch dozens of meters away. After a while, several raiders got out of it.

It was the first time for Cross to be so close to the Zerg. She had only watched the video before, and didn't feel how scary the raiders were. It even feels like they have a wild aesthetic.

Moreover, the Raiders were only tens of centimeters in size, while the Rikens were generally about two meters tall. Most of the Rikens who had never actually come into contact with the Zerg could not imagine how terrifying these small things were.

But now, when they really appeared in front of them, the sharp forelimbs aroused the fear of intelligent creatures for sharp objects. The oppressive force brought by the silent individuals that came out of the hole one by one made these Liken people tremble with fear.

"Take the lieutenant colonel first!" Al-Qaeda growled at the team members around him. His entire patrol team was taken away, and when they were rescued, there was still most of the staff left.

The two team members obeyed the order habitually. They escorted Kloss towards the nearest gunboat. Kloss did not resist and followed the soldiers obediently. Her adjutant also took the opportunity to follow.

Seeing them moving, most of the courage that the rest of them had just mustered up lost most of their courage, and a few Rickon tribesmen also ran towards the spaceship crying. These few people led more people, and most of the newly established defense line collapsed before the real battle with the Zerg.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Wounded and Sick were still professional. Instead of retreating, they aimed their guns at the hatch.

"Shoot, block them, don't let them come out too much." Al Qaeda shouted, and instantly the fiery red energy beams shot forward overwhelmingly, and several raiders were burnt to charcoal as soon as they climbed out.
