Captain, your ship has exploded again.

At the gate of the lower area, Wang Ge and his team were already fully prepared and ready to go.

More than a thousand aliens had already gone down the side path, while their purpose in taking the main road was to prevent Zhang Xun from taking the main road.

The tracking device on Zhang Xun had an extremely small signal reception range due to the complex environment of the Nest City.

As for the crash site, it became inaccessible from there due to an unexplained collapse after the first rescue team lost contact.

Wang Ge checked the grenade launcher in his hand and nodded to Marcus next to him.

Isaac stretched his wrists, then took the Gauss weapon from the slot on his back and nodded to Marcus.

Because they need to cooperate with the Cult of Machines this time, Marcus will serve as the captain.

He waved his hand forward, carrying two servo skulls, and said, "Advance, troops!"

The gates of the lower nest area, which had been closed for a long time, slowly rose upwards. As the three gates opened in different directions, a stream of putrid air blew out from inside.

The first to enter the Lower Nest area were the Mechanic Church's apostolic guards.

This is an elite friars sent by the Sage, accompanied by ten mechanical priests.

"Praise be to Omnesia, glory to the god of locus!"

Combat-type servants, such as the Guardian-type and the Cataferon-type servants, walked heavily into the smoke-filled gate.

The Sage invested heavily in this operation, not only acquiring a large number of heavily armed mechs but also borrowing ten combat nuns from the Sisters of the Cleric to accompany him.

With a combat force of this scale, they could even put up a fight against a powerful demon.

Wang Ge whistled a lewd whistle at the fighting nuns, then took a step forward amidst their disapproving gazes.

Wang Ge's forces were also formidable, consisting entirely of large-caliber hybrid weapons. Apart from a few reconnaissance power armors, the rest were heavily armored power armors with shields.

In the Warhammer world, those who can carry the Void Shield are all powerful veterans.

The shield that Zhao Wanyang took out was no ordinary item.

Zhang Xun had already obtained the Light Shield technology, and this lightweight energy shield was already in service with his team.

Therefore, this kind of physical shield is rare in Zhang Xun's team.

In addition to being designed to withstand the intensity of combat in the Warhammer universe, these shields are also engraved with purification runes and have a black stone amulet embedded in their center.

These supernatural items were all obtained in exchange for Calgary.

In addition to the standard warhammer protection, the outer ring of the shield also has a special pattern, which is an energy rune that Yun Ruomin and her team simulated using Tianwen after studying the subspace.

Due to time constraints, she only tested that the rune had a good repulsion effect on the warp; its other functions were still unknown.

As the two groups entered the lower nest area, the gate behind them slowly closed.

Once the gate was completely closed, the passageway was plunged into complete darkness.

However, these things do not pose any difficulty for these elite troops.

With the addition of red light, the low-light device allows users to clearly see everything in front of them.

"We need to move in a three-by-three formation to get to the crash site first, and then we can find out Zhang Xun's approximate location based on the traces. If we're lucky, we might not have to go that far."

Marcus looked at the tech priest beside him, who nodded in agreement, and then the entire force increased its marching speed.

Although Wang Ge really wanted to rush over to find her alone, after weighing the difference between himself and Sun Hui, he could only quicken his pace in a huff.

Despite the formidable strength of Sun Hui and Wang Ge's mobile troops, sinking a kilometer-class warship would be a piece of cake for them.

However, for a city nearly 10,000 kilometers away, the damage that two people could cause is negligible.

This is also why Zhang Xun didn't let Sun Huizao break through the nest and leave.

Without the ability to fly, suddenly revealing their location would only cause them to be swallowed up by the mixed-race sea.

Compared to the imposing Wang Ge and his group, Zhang Xun was in complete disarray.

Although they escaped the encirclement, their cunning was not lacking in intelligence.

In addition to sending troops to search, they adopted a scorched-earth policy.

The numerous makeshift defensive fortifications forced them to bypass the area, leaving them with absolutely no desire to attack.

"Those damned insects, they didn't leave a single usable thing behind!"

Using the reconnaissance mechanical insect, Zhang Xun looked at the eighteenth defensive fortress in front of him.

They had previously expended great effort to build three defensive fortifications, but there was nothing edible inside.

Building defensive fortresses couldn't be easier for the hybrids living within the hive.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Astronautical Army's replica laser guns they wield are only three-quarters as powerful as the originals; they still have the power of nearly ten kilograms of TNT.

After Sun Hui transformed and spent a lot of energy demolishing the illegal buildings, all she got was a group of mixed-blood corpses with poisonous flesh.

They didn't carry any food supplies at all. Apart from having a big meal before they came out, their only source of protein was their fellow brethren.

However, Zhang Xun and his men, who did not believe in evil, did not dare to launch any more large-scale attacks on cities and fortresses after they had destroyed the three fortresses and consumed the last of the unknown meat they had.

That's so damn despicable! Those cunning guys figured out we were short on resources and wanted to wear us down.

Noah and the other two boys had consumed the least amount of food, and they were now lying on the ground, exhausted.

They, who were originally very comfortable in their nesting area, began to cry out in hunger in an environment where there wasn't even any moss.

Gurgle~~~~.

Having exhausted all their strength, they only hoped that Zhang Xun would act decisively and minimize their pain.

For the lower nesting area, food includes not only other creatures they find, but also weakened members of their own kind.

Being precocious, they certainly knew about it and had eaten plenty of things like corpse starch.

Since Zhang Xun has reduced their rations, it's only a matter of time before they become food themselves.

Many people in the lower nesting areas do not wait until the other person dies before processing them to avoid wasting 'food', because that would result in a loss of too much meat.

At this time, Zhang Xun also began to experience trembling and weakness in his hands. Although Sun Hui ate the most, her condition was not much better than his.

After all, she was the main force in the battle, and the food she ate was simply not enough to keep her going.

Zhang Xun turned on the active positioning system again, only to find that there were no friendly signals on the radar screen. He lay on the ground in despair.

"I never imagined that my lifelong reputation would be ruined by starving insects."

Sun Hui, who was trying to figure out if she could digest steel, came to Zhang Xun's side after hearing his words.

He held the steel bar with a piece bitten off in his hand to Zhang Xun's mouth and said.

"Eat something when you're hungry! Although it doesn't taste good and it's a bit tough, it really fills you up when you eat it."

Zhang Xun pushed the steel bar away from his mouth. Although ordinary human stomach acid can digest iron, this stuff isn't protein! Only a shrew like Sun Hui would use this to fill her stomach. Normal humans would have been poisoned by ingesting metals on such a large scale long ago.

Zhang Xun gritted his teeth and took out the nano-therapeutic agent. Rather than waiting to die here, he decided to take a gamble and see if he could encounter a rescue team.

Sun Hui went to get a handcart. Once everything was ready, she fired the antimatter cannon at maximum power towards a slightly upward angle.

"Squeak~"

Sun Hui, who was biting the steel bar, glanced in the direction Zhang Xun pointed and said.

"After that, I had no strength left!"

"It's okay, I'll pull you along when the time comes. Whether we can make it to the rescue depends on this."
