Chapter 140 Search

At Qi Yiming's command, almost all the personnel of the Internal Security Force were dispersed.

For a time, the planetary surface, which had been devastated by orbital bombardment, became lively again.

The members of the Internal Security Force were divided into groups of 10, searching inch by inch on the Earth-like planet.

As the search range expanded, the personnel distribution became more and more scattered.

Qi Yiming became more and more anxious.

He notified all search personnel through the temporary communication channel established by Xuefeng for ground personnel: "Everyone pay attention to your feet. The queen worm has a high probability of drilling into the underground cave."

As an old member of the Internal Security Force, Wang Dong was not happy when he thought about searching for the missing queen worm on the ground.

He once participated in the battle to snatch the arc generator. At that time, he was just an ordinary member of the Internal Security Force.

In the face of the swarm of insects rushing like a tide, if there was no supervisor behind him, he might have thrown away his weapon and turned around and ran without hesitation.

Wang Dong opened the small shooting window on the crotch of the exoskeleton armor, urinated comfortably, and finally smiled brightly at the little bug that did not die in the orbital bombardment but died in his own urine.

Suddenly, he felt a slight vibration under his feet.

At first, he thought that the planetary crust had been ravaged by the low-orbit bombardment of the Xuefeng, and there was a slight movement of the crust.

But as the ground shook more and more violently, the bright smile just now suddenly converged, and he carefully felt the vibration under his feet.

Suddenly he remembered the vibration from the ground when the swarm launched an attack when he robbed the arc generator.

He immediately notified the Xuefeng in the low orbit of the planet through the communicator.

"The Fox Hunting Squad has been attacked by a swarm of insects... request support." He immediately called his team members without waiting for the response from the commander on the Xuefeng: "Everyone, pay attention, build a defense line on the spot."

But the swarm of insects did not give them time to build a defense line. A large number of springtails suddenly drilled out from the ground around them and ferociously pounced on the internal security team members who were hastily building a defense line.

A shrill scream came out from the communicator immediately.

Wang Dong was frantically shooting at the springtails rushing towards him while contacting the Xuefeng.

"A large number of insects appeared in area 236, and the Fox Hunting Squad was attacked... Suffering heavy losses... Request support... Request support..."

"You and the swarm have been mixed up, and the Xuefeng cannot provide effective orbital weapon support."

"It seems that I have to explain here today..." Wang Dong raised his head in despair and looked at the Xuefeng looming in low orbit through the clouds.

Suddenly, Wang Dong opened his eyes wide. He saw hundreds of objects with red flames on their tails flying towards the ground in the planet's atmosphere.

Wang Dong's desperate eyes were revitalized again: "Brothers, hold on... The Raptor Special Forces are here to support..."

As Wang Dong finished speaking, hundreds of airdrop pods slammed into the ground.

As soon as they landed, the large automatic weapons on the top of the airdrop pods emptied all the ammunition they carried in one breath, killing all the creatures around the airdrop pods that wanted to approach them.

Then the hatch, which had turned red due to friction in the atmosphere, was suddenly bounced open by high-pressure gas, and four-tai tracked combat armor quickly emerged from each airdrop pod.

These heavy combat armors were specially equipped for each warship by Qi Yiming after he received the Engineer.

As soon as the combat armor drove out of the airdrop pod, it turned on the flamethrower equipment on both sides of the armor, once again bringing the greetings of the god of death to the swarm of insects.

Wang Dong and his team members wearing individual exoskeleton armor were safely protected in the inner test of the combat armor.

Wang Dong was jealous of these equipments and actively participated in the personnel selection of the internal organization, but unfortunately he failed.

This time, the ground search raptor special brigade was on standby as a mobile force on the Xuefeng. He thought these people would be transported to the ground by transport boats, but he didn't expect that they would join the battle in such an exciting way.

Looking at the initially established solid defense line, Wang Dong thought that it was over, and was ready to contact Chen Cheng, the commander of the raptor brigade, to discuss how to launch a counterattack against the insect swarm.

Because the Xuefeng had already found several underground exits where the insect swarms came out in large numbers.

But before he could speak, more than a dozen transport boats hovered above his head.

Each transport boat had a siege tank that was one circle larger than the heavy armor under it.

Wang Dong was even more jealous of this thing, but unfortunately his knowledge reserve was not enough and he failed to pass the internal personnel screening.

The siege tank was equipped with a 300mm electromagnetic gun on the top, and it fired at the insect swarm as soon as it landed.

The powerful kinetic energy of the shells after they were fired drew a death line thousands of kilometers long in the swarm of insects, and then exploded violently at the point of impact, instantly clearing out the zerglings within a radius of thousands of meters.

The swarm of insects that rushed up like a tide retreated like a tide.

It seemed that the queen insect also knew that the zerglings alone could not destroy the human ground force composed of heavy equipment in front of them.

Qi Yiming looked at the swarm of insects retreating back to the underground cave and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chen Cheng, organize the troops to move forward immediately... Don't give the Zerg too much time to prepare."

Qi Yiming didn't know how many tricks the queen had, but he knew that the longer the delay, the larger the size of the Zerg, and it was very likely that more powerful advanced arms would appear.

Chen Cheng took the initiative to apply for transfer to the ground forces. He knew himself very well and was indeed not suitable for commanding warships. He preferred this kind of exciting ground battle.

After receiving Qi Yiming's next order, he immediately organized the ground forces to move forward.

The heavy combat armor rushed forward and became the main force of the ground forces.

And Wang Dong and other members of the internal security forces accompanied the engineering tanks and slowly moved forward with the large forces.

Looking at these big guys around him, Wang Dong felt much more at ease.

The Zerg retreated thoroughly until the ground forces advanced to 500 kilometers before the entrance of the underground cave, and the Zerg launched a second attack on Qi Yiming's ground forces.

The queen was well prepared for this attack.

A large number of cockroaches and hydralisks crawled out of the entrance of the underground cave, and at the same time, they were surrounded by smaller springtails.

The swarm of insects that climbed onto the ground did not stay at the cave entrance for long. They just arranged the attack formation a little bit and rushed towards the human ground forces.

"Siege tanks, start siege mode... front-line troops are ready to deal with the impact..."

More than a dozen siege tanks quickly deployed the large support frames on both sides of the body, firmly fixing the siege tank body in place. Then they raised the muzzle high and fired quickly...

The hydralisks that had just lined up in the swarm of insects ushered in a catastrophe.

More than a dozen high-explosive ammunition exploded in the hydralisk group, but what surprised everyone was that only the hydralisks closest to the impact point were killed by the high-temperature shrapnel produced by the explosion of the high-explosive bombs, and the hydralisks that were a little further away were not affected at all.

This scene was seen clearly by Qi Yiming standing in the bridge.

"Chen Cheng... This is the elite force of the queen insect, you have to pay attention..." Qi Yiming immediately contacted Chen Cheng who was commanding the battle on the ground.
