Byron's Blade

The conversation was divided into two parts. Just after Mu Li and the others encountered the Zeus and reported to Mu Xin, the large force launched a new round of offensive and defensive changes.Mu Xin has not announced the appearance of the Zeus to the public for the time being, but it is clear that there is a powerful enemy attacking.The main reason is that once a secret weapon like the Zeus appears, it will cause great panic to the soldiers. Before it is confirmed, she does not want chaos in the team.

The strongest armored vehicles are located on the periphery of the team, and the inner circle is composed of the most powerful mechs. The speed of the team is not fast, so the mech infantry directly get off the car, wear a powered exoskeleton, fully armed, follow on foot, and strengthen mobility sex.Important people all enter the central vehicle to protect them.

The command car was in the middle of the team, and there were still only the driver, Mu Xin and Lan Ni in the car.The seat of the command car is only the front driver's seat.The rest of the seats were all removed, and a large number of computers, monitoring screens, radio diffusion transceivers, satellite signal receivers and other equipment were installed in the vacant parts.Mu Xin and Lan Ni were sitting in front of these instruments respectively, directing the entire team.There is an oxygen supply system in the command vehicle, and Lan Ni and Mu Xin wear headphones to receive reports from various departments of the team.

Mu Li's communication is the highest authority, usually directly connected to Mu Xin.But Lanny could hear the conversation between the two.When Mu Li said the words "Zeus", Lan Ni's heart instantly rose to her throat.The communication was very brief and was soon hung up.Lanny immediately said:

"Boss! The Zeus is too dangerous, they must be brought back immediately."

"A Li has a measure, you don't have to worry. Moreover, although the Zeus has been exposed, the enemy still needs to rely on us to find loopholes. They will not attack deadly, let alone harm Mu Li." Mu Xin said, "Their The purpose is to constantly harass us along the way and weaken our combat effectiveness. What we need to worry about is how we should deal with it here.”

"Zeus...Damn it, I went to Aphrodite to hold a military science and technology conference last year. At that time, the representative of the Mecha Branch of the Academy of Sciences also said that the Zeus was still under development and would not be available until five years at the earliest. Who would have thought that this year It was put into use directly, and the Andres family planned it in advance." Lanny gritted her teeth.

"It's too late to say anything now. The point is, how do we survive this level. To be honest, I had expected that the other party would invest in the latest cutting-edge weapons, but I didn't expect it to be the Zeus. The Zeus made Getting out is by no means easy. I don’t know how much money, manpower and material resources have been invested. For the Andres family, it can be said that it is a bloody effort. I dare say that within ten years, Andrés will be languishing."

While they were talking, an emergency contact signal suddenly came from the scout group c. Group C members are Doug Smith, Lillian Hoover and Zhao Zilong.Now Doug and Lilian are driving the mechs to clear the thorns at the front, and Zhao Zilong's car is following closely behind.In other words, Group C is now being appointed to scout the way forward.The message was sent back by Doug.

"Report to the headquarters. There are a lot of vines ahead. The situation is abnormal. Please ask for instructions." The noise of the radio was very loud, and it seemed that it had been greatly disturbed.

"Send the image back." Lanny said with a frown.

Not long after, the pictures captured by the camera outside the mecha were sent back to the headquarters, and a large group of entangled vine branches appeared in front of it. Judging from the perspective of the mecha camera, it was seven or eight meters high and already Beyond the height of the armor.Moreover, these vines are wriggling strangely, like tens of thousands of tentacles, which is creepy to see.

"What is this?" Lanny asked in surprise.

Mu Xin didn't answer for a while, probably thinking.After a while she issued her first order:

"The team stopped advancing, retreated a hundred meters, and distanced themselves from the unknown creatures in front of them. We will be stationed here today."

"Stationed here? There are still pursuers behind, and it won't take long to catch up." Lan Ni said.

"In my opinion, the pursuers behind are far less threatening than this weird creature in front. I have to find out what this thing is, and, the order goes on, the whole army is forbidden to make loud noises, and absolutely don't disturb it."

"Yes..." Lanny replied.

After the order was issued, the convoy began to retreat. The walking armored infantry turned and walked backwards. The vehicles reversed collectively. The first two mechas also turned and returned. Doug and Lilian were exhausted after driving the mechas for so long. .But fatigue is only one aspect. As the closest people to the unknown creature in front of them, they only feel that their scalps are numb. The thing in front is definitely not a good thing. Avoid it if you can, and never disturb it.

Most of the people in the large army also received a notice of an unknown vine creature ahead. Everyone felt that it was not good. They ordered to retreat [-] meters and stationed there. Many people also thought that this distance was too short.But in fact, in the jungle of thorns, unless you retreat completely, it is useless to hide far away. These thorns are all connected into a whole, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not move together.

But fortunately, they opened up a road, cut down countless thorns and vines, and the unknown creature in front didn't seem to respond.Lanny guessed that the perception of unknown creatures may be limited by distance.If you are too far away from the "core", you won't feel much.

"I suspect that the unknown creature in front may be the protozoa." After the team retreated and just settled down, Mu Xin quietly held Lan Ni and said.

"Original mother worm..." Lan Ni opened her eyes wide in shock, covered her mouth to prevent herself from exclaiming, and calmed down, she said, "If it is really a mother worm, wouldn't it be too bad, since the establishment of the Federation , so far no one has seen the appearance of the female worm, and the information is even less. How do we deal with it?"

The proto-mothers are the most primitive, the first batch of Zerg to land.At the beginning of the catastrophe, a giant sea monster appeared in the Atlantic Ocean, like a flower bud, blooming in the sea, and then spit out countless seeds to the east and west respectively.These seeds were sprinkled on the European continent and the American continent, and hatched the first batch of Zerg that came ashore, which the history books called "the original Zerg".Commonly known as the mother worm or proto-mother worm.Their attack power is extremely strong, their vitality is strong, and their lifespan is very long. Even if some of them have been wiped out, a considerable number of them have survived, or gathered terrifying insect nests, or hidden in deep lakes or underground, scattered in over the European continent.

So far, people don't know whether the legendary sea monster like a flower bud really exists.If it exists, where did it come from?Is it a creature native to the earth, or a visitor from space.Back then, human beings were busy killing each other and indiscriminately bombing with nuclear bombs, which caused a great change in the earth's crust, and even alarmed such a terrifying monster.In the final analysis, it was human beings themselves who destroyed the civilized society that they had built with great difficulty.

"It's just speculation, and I have no evidence. But what is certain is that this monster is absolutely terrifying. It is now in a deep sleep and has not yet awakened. This is luck among misfortunes. God still favors us, I think, we can use it This monster can temporarily get rid of Zeus's pursuit, and it can even kill Zeus' spirit." When Mu Xin said this, a steadfast sharpness flickered in his dark and deep eyes.

Lan Ni's face sank, and she said for a while: "You are the leader, and I will obey your orders. But as a staff officer, I still want to say that this is too risky, and no one can guarantee that we can escape from the berserk female worm." The situation of the female worm is unknown now, don't bet the lives of the soldiers and our precious supplies on such a high-risk thing, the income is not in proportion to the return."

"Lanny, don't forget, we are trapped in the core area, and we have no choice." Mu Xin said in a deep voice, as if feeling something, she added, "And, it's too late."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt the ground start to tremble, commanding the warning lights in the car to flash randomly.All radios are out, and the driver ahead is yelling:

"It's moving! That monster is moving!" Shouting, the driver had already seen the god of death waving to him.Because suddenly a vine penetrated the door glass, directly pierced the driver's chest, and nailed him to the seat.

"Lanny, put on the helmet quickly, let's get out of the car!" Mu Xin said immediately.

When she spoke, Lanny had already rushed to the table with extremely quick reactions, grabbing the helmets of the two of them.After throwing Mu Xin's to her, she hurriedly put on her helmet.While doing these things, the vine that pierced in was looking for the next target with its teeth and claws.The dark green rattan was stained with bright red blood, which looked extraordinarily frightening.

Mu Xin moved faster than her. Lan Ni had just pulled the zipper of the helmet when Mu Xin opened the door of the rear compartment of the command vehicle with a "bang" and jumped out. Lan Ni hurriedly followed.Suddenly hearing a "poof", she stopped in her tracks, only to feel that she lost feeling in her left shoulder.She looked down and was surprised to see a vine appearing in her left shoulder.

I got stuck in...?

"Lanny!" She saw Mu Xin in front of her turning around and rushing towards her, and the muffled voice echoed through the helmet, which was very clear.She conjured a short knife out of nowhere, "Shua"!With a flash of cold light, Lan Ni was suddenly picked up and fled quickly.

The belated pain suddenly hit Lan Ni's brain nerves, she cried out in pain, and the blood flowed out desperately.That kind of pain, accompanied by a sour and astringent feeling, stirred in her nerves, making her in agony.

"Ah! Hahaha... AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhNow, the severe pain of the shoulder being pierced is simply unbearable for her.

"It's okay, you'll be fine." Mu Xin shouted at the top of her voice, as if to comfort her, but also to comfort herself.

Shouts, cries for help, screams, silhouettes of people, and blood began to pervade.The large army lost its radio signal, and there was no unified command, and it is now in chaos.The surrounding vines began to rise violently, waving their teeth and claws in mid-air, and lashing at the car body and people like iron whips.Wherever it passed, the car body was dented and perforated, and the human body was beaten into plasma meatloaf, or pierced into meat skewers. The large army that was fine one second fell into hell in the next second.

Mu Xin carried Lan Ni and ran quickly to the medical vehicle. Halfway through the run, when the wind picked up, he heard the roar of the engine from above, and a huge aircraft descended from the sky. It looks like a giant bat.The roar of this huge machine seemed to be the culprit for waking up the monster.

"Zeus!!!" Mu Xin yelled furiously, but her feet accelerated further.

But the Zeus is not very chic, because this big guy alarmed the owner in the vines as early as 500 meters away, and then a large piece of vines lifted into the air, constantly trying to knock it down.When the enemy situation was first discovered, the Zeus was just about to pull up, but it didn't notice for a while, and was strangled into the jet engine by a vine. As a result, the flight condition is not good now, and it can only barely fly at low altitude.Later, because of its large size and difficulty in dodging, it was hit by these extremely agile vines many times, and it was also in a state of embarrassment, and was expelled all the way to the core area.

When the Zeus approached the core, the core wrapped in many layers of vines suddenly stretched out, and a terrifying monster with faint blue will-o'-the-wisps appeared in its original form. It was more like a plant than a Zerg more appropriate.Without saying a word, the monster directly directed an extremely thick vine to stab Zeus.

A cold snort sounded from inside the Zeus, and a beam of white light shot out, directly smashing the vines into powder.

The blow made the monster angry, and several vines flew up, entangled the Zeus, and dragged it towards the core.The Zeus engine made a loud noise, struggling to resist.

Just when the monster was fighting the Zeus, Mu Xin finally carried Lan Ni to the door of the medical vehicle, and knocked on the door with a "bang bang bang".

Not long after, Alita opened the door and was startled when she saw the scene in front of her.

"Lanny?"

"Save her!" Mu Xin handed Lan Ni to Alita, and then left quickly.
