Chapter 379: Evacuating the Breeding Ground

Inside the Tiyuchang at the center of the Breeding Ground.

Shantan dispersed his squad to ensure no Zerg broke through from around the Tiyuchang; the sound of Bolters outside roared incessantly. Although Shantan had already dispersed his squad for defense, his heart felt heavy when he saw the dense Zerg tide appearing in the distance.

The number of Aliens was too high, and there were quite a few survivors on his side that needed protection. He could hold them off for a short time, but if it dragged on, it was inevitable that some Zerg would breach the dilapidated walls of the Tiyuchang, and at that point, those survivors would certainly be attacked by the Aliens.

About five minutes passed, and the Zerg outside grew more numerous; the Salamanders warriors defending inside the Tiyuchang continuously killed the Zerg charging up.

Just then, Shantan suddenly received a communication: reinforcements from the Military District had arrived!

Excitedly crushing the head of a Hormagaunt that rushed up, Shantan immediately sent out the specific landing coordinates for the Transport Aircraft.

Soon, three Transport Aircraft appeared above the Tiyuchang, causing a burst of exclamations from the survivors inside.

"What is that?"

"That is a Human Alliance Transport Aircraft, child, we are saved!"

"Can we really leave this place? Sobbing..."

As the Transport Aircraft slowly descended, a group of fully armed Kasrkin soldiers walked out from within.

"Attention, board the Transport Aircraft in an orderly fashion. You will all be saved; the Emperor will not abandon any survivor!"

A Kasrkin Sergeant shouted at the survivors surging toward the Transport Aircraft, and the Kasrkin soldiers wearing Carapace Armor began to maintain order at the evacuation point.

Afterward, the Kasrkin Sergeant also spoke to his own team members behind him.

"Split off a portion of our manpower to go and assist the Astartes!"

"Yes!"

When Shantan saw the Kasrkin soldiers wearing Carapace Armor appear inside the Tiyuchang, he called over the Kasrkin soldier closest to him.

"Astartes, what are your orders?"

"Soldier, how many of you came in total?"

"Reporting, 100 of us have arrived in total, responsible for maintaining order at the evacuation point to prevent the evacuation time from becoming too long due to chaos."

After hearing this, Shantan immediately gave an order.

"Very good, soldier, let us buy some evacuation time for those survivors!"

"It is my honor to fight alongside you, my lord."

With the addition of the Kasrkin soldiers, the Zerg rushing into the Tiyuchang became fewer, and the Laser Beams from the Hellguns continuously Harvested the lives of those Zerg.

And the Dominator Zerg, seeing this scene through the perspective of its offspring, let out a sigh of amazement.

"These Humans, those Humans wearing green Armor, how are they so strong? It looks like they are protecting those ordinary Humans. I must increase the number of offspring entering the Breeding Ground and use numbers to overwhelm them."

Huokan no longer had time to reload the Bolter in his hand; the Chainsword in his grip swung continuously. The ten Salamanders warriors stood as immovable as ten boulders in a river, Harvesting the Aliens around them.

He could no longer remember how many Aliens he had killed; he only knew that the sound of Bolters inside the Tiyuchang was more intense, and from time to time, Laser Beams flew over his head—likely from the soldiers who had followed the Transport Aircraft.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Huokan heard Shantan's voice come through his communication channel.

"Sergeant Huokan, we are preparing to retreat. The last batch of survivors has already boarded the Transport Aircraft, and there is still space, so we can also evacuate."

Hearing this news, Shantan shouted to the Salamanders warriors who were Harvesting the lives of the Aliens.

"Brothers, the Task is complete. Those survivors have already evacuated safely, and it is time for us to retreat as well."

"Yes!"

Huokan led his squad to begin retreating into the Tiyuchang, his Chainsword swinging continuously; even the streets were piled with many Zerg corpses.

On the side of the Transport Aircraft, when Shantan saw Huokan and Kuayasi rushing over with their respective squads, he shouted loudly to the surrounding soldiers.

"Suppress the Aliens, do not let them get close to the Transport Aircraft!"

When Huokan and Kuayasi arrived near the Transport Aircraft, Shantan said.

"My brothers, you will each board a Transport Aircraft. The number of Aliens is increasing, and there are still survivors in our Transport Aircraft. The hatches will not be closed before takeoff; we need to clear the Aliens that charge up."

Huokan and Kuayasi nodded to each other and tacitly boarded two separate Transport Aircraft. The Kasrkin soldiers inside received them, and after they boarded, they handed the position at the hatch over to Huokan and the others.

Huokan led his squad to open fire on the Zerg trying to approach the Transport Aircraft and threw dozens of Fragmentation Grenades.

As the sound of explosions rang out, a significant amount of open space was cleared directly where the Zerg were charging.

After seeing both squads board the Transport Aircraft, Shantan had the Kasrkin soldiers board the Transport Aircraft first, followed by his own squad.

As the three Transport Aircraft took off rapidly, some Hormagaunts still tried to jump and pounce toward the hatches, but they were blasted into fragments by Bolter rounds.

Not until a ripple appeared around the Transport Aircraft and a Gray Mist emerged, causing the three Transport Aircraft to vanish, did these Zerg stop their commotion.

"Damn it, let those Humans run away! The subsequent offspring haven't even entered the Breeding Ground yet!"

The Dominator Zerg's head tentacles danced wildly, causing the Hatchery to shake a few times.

Afterward, the Dominator Zerg calmed down and consoled itself.

"It doesn't matter, soon we will be able to catch those Humans back again! At that time, I must put these Humans to death!"

Inside the Transport Aircraft.

Huokan put away his Bolter and turned to look at the small number of survivors inside the Transport Aircraft, suddenly discovering a familiar figure.

"Hey, child, you are on this Transport Aircraft too? You can go home soon, you can rest easy."

Funixi looked at the tall figure in green Armor before her, and after looking left and right, she realized this tall figure was speaking to her, so she asked weakly.

"Thank you, were you the one who saved me?"

Although the equipment on these tall figures in green Armor was somewhat different, they did not reveal their faces, which meant Funixi did not recognize Huokan.

"Yes, child, my name is Huokan. What is your name?"

Huokan knelt down halfway to speak to Funixi.

"Funixi, thank you for saving me."

Funixi walked slowly in front of Huokan, watching this big guy squat down to talk to her, and then explained.

"Sorry, I asked you that question just now because I didn't see your face clearly."

"It's okay, child, I do not blame you."

As he spoke, Huokan took off his MK2 Helmet, revealing his face.

Beneath his dark grey skin, a pair of reddish eyes looked at Funixi, and his fierce appearance caused a stir among the surrounding survivors.
