Chapter 690: The Resistance of the Tau Empire
"According to the data from the detector, the Hive Fleet will only have 9 to 16 months to attack the galaxy we are responsible for defending." Ketan did not say a word about the situation in the K-1 galaxy. This was not ruthlessness or cruelty, but they had long known what their mission was.
"9 to 16 months. The fortress we have been operating for more than ten years will definitely delay the rear for a longer time, at least two years for the evacuation of the rear."
"Hehe" Ketan smiled lightly. He has always liked Volani's enthusiastic attitude, which is something he does not have because of his steady nature.
"Let these beautiful environments remain for a while. This is our last leisure time."
"This is our new home. If those damn bugs want to eat a lot in our home, they will have to step over our corpses first." Volani held Ketan's hand tightly. The two people of different races had the same sense of responsibility in their eyes.
The hash swarm arrived in the VK-01 galaxy ten months later. Their number was enough to block the light of the stars.
The captain in the battleship could see more and more bugs approaching them. The scene in front of him could only remind him of the giant sandstorm he saw when he was cultivating the desolate world.
"Nothing to order, just open fire, use up all our ammunition, and then we rush in to overload the engine."
The captain's voice spread throughout the ship, and the sailors said half-jokingly.
"It's much better to die in the flames than to die in the corrosion of gastric juice!"
"I shouldn't have signed up to come here in the first place, I should go to the Red Sun District to fight orcs!"
"Come on! The mission of the Far East Garrison Corps was made clear at the beginning! Your acting is too bad."
"Too bad, too bad."
The laughter and scolding used to ease the tension did not last long. The terrifying psychic roar of the hive mind resounded in the soul of every organism, and even the titanium soldiers who were not sensitive to the subspace perception had goose bumps.
"These bugs think we are irresistible delicious meat! Let them see our determination! Break their teeth! Burn through their stomachs! Even if it turns into feces, we must choke their assholes!"
The rather vulgar words attracted low and fearless laughter, and the prepared soldiers completed their work seriously.
Thousands of torpedoes and super-heavy railgun shells were fired at the swarm, smashing their shells.
The bugs quickly devoured the separated meat and sent it to the digestion pool to refill the biomass reserves, and the number of bugs was replenished again and again through the hatching pool.
The ships of the Tyranid swarm are originally a kind of huge bugs. They were named Drone, Siren, Void Walker, Razor Demon, Devourer, and Hive Mothership by Imperial officials.
These bugs correspond to the combat capabilities of destroyers, frigates, light cruisers, heavy cruisers, battlecruisers, and battleships.
However, this classification is only for the convenience of understanding and classification, and does not mean that Tyranid living warships really follow the standard of industrial ships.
Genetic mutation and adaptive evolution are the core of the Tyranids' invasion. Only when you witness the targeted evolution of the swarm will you know that you are fighting against the Tyranids.
After devouring several galaxies on the edge of the Tau Empire and fighting several devouring wars.
The Hash Swarm has also undergone some special mutations. Bioelectric tumors have grown inside their bodies. Energy is transmitted to the hard bone shell through muscles rich in conductive metal particles, forming a thin energy shield.
This evolution requires the Tau army with multiple plasma rifles to shoot more times to kill the bugs.
The sound of plasma rifle shooting has never stopped. Sass, wearing the standard combat armor of the Tau, quickly lowered his head to dodge a ball of green venom.
The venom fell on the wall, and the corrosive green smoke rose slowly. This thing is not something that his armor can block.
Although his armor material is really good, the outer layer is hard and high-density nanocrystalline metal.
The inside is an extremely light polymer polyethylene material with good heat resistance and impact resistance.
What's even better is that he also has an extremely comfortable and breathable jumpsuit, which is wear-resistant and has emergency medical properties.
If you are stabbed by a knife, the jumpsuit will help you block the wound and prevent more blood from gushing out of your body.
But this thing is too exaggerated. If you get a little bit of it without a shield, you will die. From head to toe, you will turn into a pool of water and be licked into the stomach by the bugs.
"Thank the Emperor for his kindness." After praying silently, Sass stuck his head out to observe the attack of the bugs.
Their Guardian warship was hit by the bone teeth of several approaching Xiongfeng frigates, and knife bugs and gun bugs poured in from the gap, gnawing at everything they could see.
These things don't even let go of iron. There are special bugs that will corrode the walls and floors of the ship and store these solutions in their stomachs.
Hiss~
The sound of the bugs made Sass's hair stand up. He quickly rolled forward, holding the gun in his right hand, and reaching to his waist with his left hand to pull out a blade of the United Alliance.
Three bugs, two knife bugs and one gun bug, were standing not far in front of Sass, staring at him with their dark eyes.
The bugs attacked at the same time, the two knife bugs ran to surround him from the left and right, and the gun bug with a long-range weapon attacked from the front, and the guns held by his two forelimbs on his chest were also spitting bone spurs and acid water.
According to the research of the Earth Clan technicians, the guns and blade-like things on these bugs are all a kind of symbiont.
To put it simply, they are still living bugs, and even the things shot out by these symbionts are living bugs.
Damn it. Big bugs, small bugs, all fucking bugs.
Sass didn't have time to think about the research reports of the Earth Clan technicians, and aimed the plasma rifle at the gun bug in front.
The plasma ball hit the gun bug and broke one of its forelimbs.
Damn bioelectric tumor. Why don't I have this evolutionary ability? I will directly evolve into a bomb and blow you guys up.
The bone spur was nailed on Sass's chest armor, and he could feel that this thing was drilling deep into his body.
The knife bug on the side also pounced at the same time and chopped at Sass fiercely.
The lengthened and thickened left shoulder armor successfully blocked the knife bug's attack, and Sass focused all his attention on the knife bug on the right.
With a flash of the knife, the knife bug's extended forelimb was cut off. The bug opened its mouth wide at Sass, and Sass twisted his body and threw the knife bug that had landed on his left shoulder armor onto the bug.
