Chapter 269: They Really Came to Save Us!

A Cadian Squad, while entering the Zerg Breeding Ground, encountered a Vittorian Squad of Dragon Cavalry approaching from that direction with about 200 survivors.

Upon seeing that it was a Cadian Squad, the Vittorian Captain said with a somewhat relaxed tone, "It looks like the extraction point has already been cleared."

"Yes, you take the survivors to the extraction point; our Commander has already sent a communication to the Emperor, and the transport aircraft for evacuation will arrive soon."

The Cadian Sergeant nodded and spoke, and after briefly explaining the situation, prepared to separate from the Vittorian Squad of Dragon Cavalry and enter the Zerg Breeding Ground.

"Beware of the heretics in red robes inside; their attacks are high-temperature plasma. If it hits your uniform, you will quickly become a charred corpse."

Seeing that this Cadian Squad was preparing to leave, the Vittorian Captain hurriedly spoke up to warn them.

"Thank you for the information; may the Emperor protect us."

After the Cadian Sergeant expressed his thanks, he led the squad into the Zerg Breeding Ground.

In the intricate alleys, the Cadian Squad found dozens of corpses in an area covered in green viscous matter; the leading Cadian Sergeant lowered his body to examine the condition of the corpses and spoke to the Cadian soldiers behind him.

"Just as the Vittorians said, these people were all burned to death by high heat, but their bodies did not burn into charred remains as they described; they simply lost their vital signs."

Just as the Cadian Sergeant was feeling puzzled, a Cadian soldier called out, "Captain, there is a survivor here!"

The Cadian Sergeant came before this surviving Human, whose left arm had been sliced off halfway, and the person had now fallen into a coma.

"Take him with us; I need to know what happened here."

When a Cadian soldier looked around, he spotted a red figure. Just as he was about to pick up his weapon to fire, he saw a red plasma hit his khaki uniform. In an instant, scorching flames ignited from the spot where the red plasma was, and the Cadian soldier felt his body being rapidly set ablaze; his tenacious will led him to say to his teammates behind him:

"Enemy attack! Watch out for the red robes..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the flames engulfed him, leaving only the Cadian soldier's weapon dropped on the ground.

After succeeding, that red-robed figure disappeared into the Breeding Ground.

The surrounding Cadian soldiers were currently firing at the Zerglings appearing around them. Previously, Zerglings would not enter the Breeding Ground, but at this moment, the Zerglings outside the Breeding Ground were rushing into it, wanting to kill those Human soldiers inside.

"Clang... clang... clang..."

The Church in the center of the Breeding Ground emitted a dull bell toll, followed by a sharp voice echoing throughout the Breeding Ground.

"Attention all Humans in the Breeding Ground: if you walk out of the Breeding Ground now, you will be killed by the Zerg. If you want to survive, you must stay quietly in the Breeding Ground and do not move about. Otherwise, the Zerg outside will tear you to pieces!"

After hearing these words, the Cadian Sergeant cursed fiercely under his breath and raised his MG Defender-type Laser Pistol to shoot a Zerg that was approaching him.

"We must take this survivor with us. If there are no other survivors in the vicinity, we will prepare to retreat. There are 27 minutes left until the transport aircraft arrives."

Just as a Cadian soldier, under the cover of his teammates, helped this survivor up, the survivor coughed a few times, a chill appeared in his body, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing the Human soldiers holding weapons and shooting one Zergling after another in this area, Leiside slowly spoke up.

"Are you troops from the Human Alliance?"

Seeing that the survivor had woken up, the Cadian Sergeant fired while saying to Leiside:

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Can you still move? If you can move, then hurry up and get moving yourself!"

"Okay..."

Seeing this, the Cadian soldiers around Leiside stopped worrying about Leiside and turned to help their teammates kill the Aliens.

Leiside shook his head, only then seeing the situation around him clearly. After checking that his Spiritual Power was already running low, Leiside followed these soldiers to leave this area.

Soon, this Cadian Squad encountered some survivors fleeing in all directions. Seeing the Cadian warriors easily killing those Zerglings, these survivors also followed the Cadian Sergeant's instructions, following behind the squad to continue searching for other survivors in the Breeding Ground.

"Leiside, is this the rescue you were talking about? That's great! We can finally go home."

These survivors said with excited tones upon seeing Leiside.

Leiside wanted to explain, but considering the current situation, he closed his mouth that he had just opened.

This Cadian Squad soon encountered a Vittorian Squad of Dragon Cavalry and found them pointing their Laser Guns at several survivors who were slumped on the ground, begging for mercy.

The Cadian Sergeant just wanted to ask what was going on, but discovered that those Vittorian soldiers fired directly, killing those survivors who were slumped on the ground begging for mercy.

"What are you doing! Isn't our Task to rescue survivors?"

Seeing this, the Cadian Sergeant felt that the Vittorian Squad opposite might want to go against the Emperor's will, which was equivalent to betrayal.

"No, they are not the survivors we are to save. After hearing the threats of those heretics, they were unwilling to leave this place. This is betrayal! The Emperor wanted to save them, yet they chose to defect to the heretics! The heretics must be purged!"

The Captain of this Vittorian Squad stood out and spoke to this Cadian Sergeant.

After hearing this explanation, the Cadian Sergeant thought about it carefully and found it did indeed make sense, so he said:

"We have found enough survivors; let's retreat first, as the situation here is somewhat complicated. There are 15 minutes left until the transport aircraft arrives; the transport aircraft cannot stay for too long, as it is easy to be targeted by Aliens."

"Yes, then let's do as you say."

The two squads merged and shuttled through the alleys with 500 to 600 survivors, but because the number of people was somewhat large, the marching speed was significantly reduced.

At the same time, in an alley in the Breeding Ground, more than twenty red-robed corpses and ten Human soldier corpses lay in the alley. Among the remaining red-robed cultists, a red-robed man spoke in confusion:

"These Human soldiers give me a very strange feeling; even when only one person was left, they didn't say a single word of surrender. Why? I clearly said that as long as they gave up resistance, we would not harm them; why continue to fight back?"

After pondering for a moment, this red-robed man still had no thoughts, so he could only shake his head slightly and disappear at the end of the alley with the remaining red-robed cultists.
