MTL - To Four Thousand Years Later-v5 Chapter 83 under the volcano

Maynard didn't struggle with the bugs too much.

Using the ice-breaking program provided by Chang Xiyi, he quickly broke through the thick ice wall compiled by artificial intelligence.

It does not seem to have artificial intelligence real-time defenses in it, so the program holes created by "Polaris" will not be restored anytime soon.

But at least it will still send a warning to the agreed safe address when it is broken down.

This means that no matter who occupies this encounter, the other party already knows that someone has broken through the ice wall.

One can only make quick decisions. After defeating the worm's vanguard, Maynard immediately closed the protective barrier behind him. The light blue electric light gradually went out. The four or five turrets that had aimed at them also began to freeze, and the red energy lamps also went out.

Maynard and Chang Xi no longer hesitated, turned and ran towards the ruins. Suddenly, Maynard grabbed Chang Xiyi's shoulder. His expression became serious. Chang Xi turned her head in doubt, and the spectrum in her head trembled. If he had eyes, he would definitely have a suspicious look at this moment.

"We're afraid we've found the right place.

He whispered: "There are very strong negative psionic fluctuations here. I mean, it may cause sudden death.

"A lot of people should have died here. Although they didn't awaken their psychic powers, their remaining wills were locked here by a certain position...they summoned this psychic power." A strong stench filled the air clock. Curse It was almost condensed into substance, but it never dissipated because of the special environment. If ordinary people stood inside without any protection, it would probably kill them within a few minutes.

"It's normal for many people to die, Lord Maynard.

Chang Xiyi just shrugged: "This is an active volcano. Yes, they are under an active volcano. This is Mount Etna in Sicily. It is surrounded by the once glorious city of Catania. It used to be The erupted Mount Etna has been submerged more than a dozen times, but it has also been rebuilt more than a dozen times. This is the city of ashes, and it is also the city of rebirth. People believe that this city is protected by the phoenix reborn in the fire. Until not long ago, the Zerg invasion.

The base of the Electric Clan usually chooses a location close to a volcano or a submarine volcano. Because they need a lot of energy to thrive... and the cities that are too close to the volcano are ordered to be forced to move to a safe place. Only by increasing the strategic depth can we better arrange static fortifications. After all, the Zerg has engineers such as diggers who can dig tunnels from the ground. If the human city is too close to the gathering point of the Zerg, it is entirely possible that the diggers will lead a small group of troops to steal the house, even if it is just an ordinary disturbance, it will pose a huge threat to civilians. Therefore, a large area near the volcano has been turned into a farm—after all, the Zerg are not interested in plants alone, they are only interested in soil, minerals, and fresh, vital animals, and there is no need to worry about them. Burst the farm for food. In these armed farms, a very large number of static fortifications will be erected. Some retired veterans are eligible to buy these lands at extremely low prices—specifically, the same Zerg is not every attack but an overwhelming sea of ​​insects. Most of them are as small as a dozen or 10 to 30. Ministry..., they may not even be able to outlast militias armed with submachine guns. It is a waste to send any form of armed force for these sporadic sons. But don't care at all. It will also bring danger to surrounding freight and traffic. And these frontier farmers are responsible for intercepting the small army and issuing an alarm in time when the army is attacking. Within half an hour at the latest, the first wave of support troops will arrive, and a garrison camp can be set up on the farm within a small amount of time. And going forward is the danger zone. Generally speaking, you have to wait for the bionic soldiers and fully mechanized troops to arrive before trying to move forward. Every time you go to an unknown area, you must first cover it with firepower, demolish all the woods and bunkers, then fill the open space with frozen bombs, and then step forward to explore slowly with the cooperation of step and tank. The main force is the bionic man. As for the volcanic area, it is the most dangerous area. Almost every volcano has at least three queens and a large number of biological and chemical defenses. Moreover, the queen can quickly supply psionic energy to fight against the queen in the brood, and it takes more than three times the ghost special I to maintain suppression. Because of the small number of Ghost agents, such beheadings are only carried out in hard-to-defend areas. In other cases, the ice bombardment is carried out at regular intervals, and the fully mechanized troops advance slowly. Take Mount Etna as an example—if it develops normally, there will be at least three queens inside it. But at the moment, the number of these yokos seems to be a little sparse... and the lines are very confusing. The general tactic used by Huang is a modified kite-flying.

First carry out a wave of covering long-range strikes, and then send up a wave of melee troops to die. After the long-range troops retreated to a safe position, they wrapped the melee troops within the strike range and directly launched another wave of covering strikes. When this side tries to attack them or break out of the siege backwards, they will send a wave of melee troops to stop them, and the long-range troops will continue to keep their distance. But on Maynard's side, he didn't see those long-range troops gathering at all. Those "interceptors" who are responsible for fighting missiles, as well as "breathers" and "cutters" who are responsible for long-range attacks, are directly mixed in and killed in close combat. The "guardians" who can effectively resist penetrating bullets and arc rifles , fell at the end of the team because it was too bulky and slow.

It's almost like coming up directly from F2A.

In gaming terms. These bugs are either weak in ice or weak in electricity, or both: Zergs with mineral shells have special furnace organs, and they will die quickly once they are frozen. defeated. Their body strength can't even resist the rifles of this era, it's just that ordinary humans don't know that their weaknesses are not in the chest and head.

Therefore, when fighting against Zerg without the command of the Queen, you only need to use machine guns to form suppression, use rapid cooling weapons to kill those hard and big guys, and then use arc rifles to focus fire to kill those particularly dangerous units. So this deserted base that doesn't even have a garrison, just relying on the arc force field and a few self-aiming cannons is enough to suppress this Zerg lair without a queen until now. If nothing else... the queen here should be the one who established the base and was responsible for killing it.

But here is such a strong negative energy... what is it?

Maynard hesitated for a moment.

Chang Xi is not a living body, which is no problem for him. But to Maynard, it's like a leaked nuclear power plant does to ordinary people. His psychic energy will start burning inside, and the moment it burns out completely is the moment his body begins to age rapidly. Maynard is not sure whether his psychic power can protect the old body he has already begun... If he dies here, his psychic power will be completely exhausted, and he may not even be able to recover. However, according to the results of their investigation , the truth of "Winter of Fimbul" may lie in it. This is what is necessary to save a civilization, a planet.

Is he going in or not?

"Lord Maynard?"

Chang Xi called him again, urging him to make a decision: "Have you thought about it? We have to enter the encounter track before the bugs rush over. Only then can we open the defensive force field. Either we retreat quickly, we are not surrounded, and there is still time to retreat .” One no. "

Maynard was silent for a moment, then reached out to Chang Xi.

"Give me the divine blood," he said word by word, "just in case.
