Chapter 649: Attacking the Third Defense Zone Wall (3)
After hearing Eric's reply, an energy fluctuation alert flashed inside Randall's MK2 Helmet, and he bent his knees to leap onto the three-meter-high rampart.
The power pack vented white gas, and the soles of his power-armored boots crushed the wriggling dark green Juntan.
"Tactical formation three!"
Randall's voice rang out over the communication channel.
The Space Marines instantly split into three groups and began firing rhythmically at the Huotipaitai on the wall.
The Huotipaitai closer to the War Dog Space Marine suddenly turned, and Plasma Bombs were gathering in their oral cavities.
Fenongqiu saw blue light glowing from those tooth-filled muzzles and immediately shouted loudly over the communication channel.
"Yixingdianjiandan! Disperse!"
Relying on superhuman reaction speed and physical fitness, these Plasma Bombs did not hit the War Dog Space Marines.
During the evasion, Kasimier fired continuous shots, and two bolter rounds precisely drilled into the charging Huotipaitai muzzles.
"Boom! Boom!"
The hit Huotipaitai were instantly blown apart, and flesh and tissue were scattered everywhere.
Randall used his Chainaxe to hack into the base of a Huotipaitai, and when he pulled the Chainaxe out, he saw the flesh and tissue inside constantly repairing itself, so he immediately growled over the communication channel.
"These Alien turrets are connected to the Juntan! Cut the connections!"
"Understood!"
The Chainaxe in Fenongqiu's hand roared continuously. He swung the Chainaxe in a full arc, the teeth tearing through the wriggling flesh-tendrils at the base of the turret.
Taking advantage of the time before the Living Turret could react, a Fragmentation Grenade was stuffed inside, and he retreated backward.
"Boom!"
The Huotipaitai with its base blown open fell directly off the wall.
"The energy node is in the wall interlayer!"
Just then, Eric's voice sounded over the communication channel, and he continued.
"Inside the middle section of the wall, there are purple energy conduits three meters in diameter—they are providing a steady stream of energy to the turrets on the wall!"
Randall hacked the head off a death-servant bug lunging at him with one axe, the death-servant bug's blood sizzling and smoking on his chest plate, and asked Eric over the communication channel.
"Can you blow it up?"
"Need to get a Melta Bomb into the main energy conduit!"
Eric's voice came over the communication channel confidently.
"However, no problem, leave it to me!"
The Juntan on the wall sensed danger; it began to shake violently and wriggle as it bulged, and 7 blade bugs covered in energy crystals burst from the ground.
Their Bone Blade limbs shimmered with lightning, their bodies were a size smaller than the crystal death-servants, and the energy crystals on their bodies were not covering them entirely like the crystal death-servants.
"Hahaha! Then I'll leave it to you, brother!"
Fenongqiu activated his Chainaxe and laughed as he charged at the crystal blade bugs appearing on the wall, his Chainaxe colliding with the electric Bone Blades in a shower of sparks.
A piece of his shoulder armor was shaved off, but the saw teeth also jammed into the bug's joint gap.
"Kasimier! Hit the glowing spot under its armpit!"
"Understood!"
Kasimier quickly raised the Bolter in his hand and fired at the joint connection of the crystal blade bug; as the bolter rounds blew off the crystal blade bug's joint, Fenongqiu quickly used his Chainaxe to hack off the crystal blade bug's head.
"This Alien's head is much easier to cut than the previous ones!"
Shaking the blood off his Chainaxe, Fenongqiu said relaxedly over the communication channel.
After Eric opened a hole in a weak spot of the wall's energy conduit and pushed the Melta Bomb with the detonation timer set into the hole.
Eric said to the other War Dog Space Marines over the communication channel.
"Melta Bomb has been placed! 15-second countdown to explosion!"
Soon, after the Melta Bomb destroyed the energy conduits inside the wall, the Living Turrets on the wall quickly withered, and the frequency of them firing Plasma Bombs was not as fast as before.
Most importantly, after the Huotipaitai were destroyed, they would not grow back.
"Hahaha! These damn Alien turrets, let's see how you recover now!"
After Kasimier changed the magazine for his Bolter, he let out a hearty laugh.
Just then, a communication request appeared inside Randall's helmet. After agreeing to the communication access request, Randall heard a familiar voice from the other side.
"Yo! Randall! Looks like you've already broken in!"
Zandaer's hearty voice rang out, and the lips under Randall's helmet curled up involuntarily as he joked.
"Zandaer, you guys are too slow! If you don't come soon, we'll have finished off these Aliens!"
"Hahaha! Don't give me that! Isn't Fuderi's squad not here yet?"
Hearing Zandaer's voice, Randall finished changing the magazine for his Bolter and said in a light tone.
"Then you'd better hurry, we're about to enter the city and start the slaughter!"
"Don't worry, it won't be slow!"
Inside the Fourth Defense Zone Transport Aircraft.
When the Fourth Defense Zone's Transport Aircraft appeared in the sky above the Third Defense Zone from the Gray Mist, it immediately attracted the attention of Zerg flying units.
Many wing-flapping bugs launched attacks at the Transport Aircraft, but before they could get close, they were blown to pieces by bolter rounds fired from the Transport Aircraft's cabin.
Watching the wing-flapping bugs flying toward them after the cabin door opened, Huokan fired continuous shots with the Bolter in his hand and said to the other Salamanders Space Marines over the communication channel.
"All units pay attention, drop quickly! Don't let the Transport Aircraft be destroyed by these Aliens!"
"Understood!"
One by one, the Salamanders Space Marines leaped from the cabin. When only Huokan was left, he put away his smoking Bolter and leaped from the cabin.
The moment Huokan jumped off the Transport Aircraft, the aircraft entered a patch of Gray Mist again, causing the incoming wing-flapping bugs to miss their target.
Huokan watched the ground conditions becoming clearer as he fell at high speed, and spoke into the communication channel.
"Suspected Alien Breeding Ground at ten o'clock, there is a high probability that there are surviving Humans inside! Land near there!"
"Received!"
Carrying the Combi-Flamer on his back, Katuo turned in mid-air, drew his Chainsword, locked his gaze onto the Winged Bug swooping down at him, and tensed the muscles in his right arm.
"Go to hell! Filthy Alien!"
Katuo let out a low roar, and relying on the performance of his MK2 Power Armor and his own formidable physical fitness, Katuo cleaved the swooping Winged Bug in two with a single strike of his sword.
Subsequently, Katuo saw the dense swarm of Zerg below rushing toward the outside of the Third Defense Zone; Katuo locked onto a Tank Bug that looked larger in size, aimed his Chainsword at the Tank Bug's body, slammed his entire person heavily onto this Tank Bug, and the Chainsword in his hand successfully pierced into the Tank Bug's body.
Seeing that the Chainsword piercing into the Tank Bug's thick body did not cause much damage, Katuo pulled out the Chainsword while aiming the Combi-Flamer on his back at the Tank Bug below.
"Taste this!"
Blazing flames sprayed out, and the Tank Bug twisted its body in the high temperature.
Claudel and the other Salamanders Space Marines landed one after another; under Claudel's feet was the corpse of a Hormagaunt that had been trampled into pulp.
