Chapter 653: Airdropping into the Third Defense Zone Breeding Ground (4)

~7 min read 1,358 words

After Huokan and the others finished gathering the survivors within this Breeding Ground, they looked at the crowded mass of people before them and shouted loudly.

"We will head to the breach in the Breeding Ground, and we will settle you all in a safe place. After we deal with the Aliens that have entered, we will contact a Transport Aircraft to come and rescue you!"

"Now, I need you to maintain order, do not panic, everyone will be protected, rest assured!"

Perhaps because they had long since become submissive under the rule of the Zerg, these children, when faced with such a turn of events, although they felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts that they hadn't had before, were also afraid that if they did not listen to these giants of Steel, they would be abandoned or killed.

Just as Huokan's squad was leading this group of survivors toward a relatively spacious open area, Huokan sensed a low-frequency roar coming from the center of the Breeding Ground, and this low-frequency roar caused Huokan's alarm bells to ring instantly.

The Aliens would absolutely not emit this kind of roar for no reason. Holding this suspicion, Huokan contacted Katuo, who was at the breach, over the communication channel.

After the communication connected, Huokan heard the sound of Bolters firing, the roaring of Chainswords, and the roars of the Aliens.

Upon learning that the Zerg on Katuo's side had begun attacking into the Breeding Ground for some unknown reason, Huokan instantly associated it with the low-frequency roar that had just come from the center of the Breeding Ground.

Huokan quickly made a decision; the Alien in the center of the Breeding Ground would definitely appear to personally finish off these uninvited guests once it saw that the attacks summoning its kin would not wipe them out. Looking at the survivors behind him whose eyes were filled with confusion, Huokan spoke up.

"Leave three people to protect these survivors, the rest of you come with me to take out the Alien that just emitted that low-frequency roar!"

"Understood!"

Huokan looked at Afudao and Dekashi and spoke slowly.

"Listen, children, you will definitely be saved! The Emperor has already dispatched a Transport Aircraft to our location; everything will be over soon."

"But, Huokan, what are you all going to do?"

Afudao saw Huokan taking four Salamanders Space Marines and breaking away from the group, and suddenly asked.

"The Task the Emperor has entrusted to us, we will defend with our lives! That Alien will threaten your safety, I must eliminate it!"

As Huokan spoke, he waved at Afudao, then led the four Salamanders Space Marines away from the survivor group.

As this group of ten thousand survivors reached the location where the Transport Aircraft could land, Afudao looked back toward the center of the Breeding Ground, praying in his heart for Huokan and the others who had left.

On the other side, Huokan led the four Salamanders Space Marines toward the location where the low-frequency roar had originated. When Huokan arrived in front of a dilapidated building, he discovered that the interior of this building was hidden with green Juntan.

These Juntan were hidden very well; if a normal person were to glance at them, they would not be able to discover these Juntan at all.

"Stay alert, the Alien is very likely inside this building."

Huokan chambered a round into his Bolter and was the first to walk into the dilapidated building.

After entering the dilapidated building, Huokan's Ceramite Battle Boots stepped onto the sticky Juntan on the ground, and the Power Armor's Servo System emitted a faint humming sound as Huokan moved.

The other four Salamanders Space Marines followed closely behind, trailing Huokan, gripping their respective weapons, and advancing with caution.

"Contact!"

Huokan, who was walking at the very front, suddenly roared in the communication channel.

The attention of the four Salamanders Space Marines was entirely focused directly in front of Huokan, and the sights of the Bolters in their hands were also aimed forward, ready to fire at any moment.

Just then, the Juntan on the ground suddenly bulged with tumors, and four pitch-black insect limbs carrying arcs of energy broke through the soil. Accompanied by a burst of low-frequency roaring, a Black-Winged Insect Type-II with energy patterns constantly flickering on its carapace, metallic-textured wings on its back, and four ghostly blue insect eyes appeared before Huokan.

"Fire!"

The moment the Black-Winged Insect Type-II appeared, Huokan immediately pulled the Bolter trigger.

Five Bolters erupted with powerful firepower, and the dense bolts wove into a net inside the building, flying collectively toward this Black-Winged Insect Type-II.

But the next second, these bolts rippled with blue waves around the Black-Winged Insect Type-II, and an Energy Shield appeared in front of the Black-Winged Insect Type-II!

Furthermore, accompanied by the appearance of the Energy Shield, Huokan and the others all felt that this Alien was manipulating energy to restrict their movements.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

Huokan did not stop firing. He was the closest to this Alien and could already clearly feel that he was contending against some kind of resistance, and this resistance was growing stronger and stronger!

"Zhanshu Bianhao B-7! Disperse and attack!"

Huokan immediately yelled in the communication channel.

The other four Salamanders Space Marines quickly scattered and retreated, and two Salamanders Space Marines threw a Fragmentation Grenade at this Black-Winged Insect Type-II.

While the explosion swallowed the Black-Winged Insect Type-II, Huokan clearly felt the resistance he was contending with diminish, and he also quickly retreated a few steps.

But the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated, and Huokan did not see the Alien remaining in place, and the sound of sharp weapons clashing came from behind him.

A Salamanders Space Marine used a Chainsword to parry the attack of two of the Black-Winged Insect Type-II's electric insect scythes, but the other two free electric insect scythes instantly pierced into the chest of this Salamanders Space Marine.

The MK2 Power Armor was pierced by the insect scythes covered in powerful energy, and the moment the blood flowed out, it was evaporated by the energy on the insect scythes.

"Alien! Die!"

The Salamanders Space Marine Jia'erwen grabbed his Chainsword and slashed at the back of this Black-Winged Insect Type-II, rawly severing its two metallic wings. The Black-Winged Insect felt pain and immediately pulled out the electric insect scythes that had pierced the chest of this Salamanders Space Marine, swinging them toward Jia'erwen.

Jia'erwen met it directly with his Chainsword, and the friction between the saw teeth and the electric insect scythes erupted with blinding sparks and energy impacts.

Huokan quickly aimed at the Black-Winged Insect Type-II and pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

This time, the bolts hit the Black-Winged Insect Type-II solidly, dimming the energy carapace on its body significantly, and some of the carapace had even been blown open.

"Its energy cannot release two modes simultaneously!"

Huokan discovered that this Alien was currently channeling energy for attacks and could no longer release the Energy Shield.

This made him immediately share the discovered intelligence with his brothers.

The injured Salamanders Space Marine performed a tactical roll to dodge the sweeping insect limb, blood flowed from the gaps in his armor, and his body was constantly repairing the wounds that had appeared.

He hit the insect limb of the Black-Winged Insect Type-II with a sweep kick, directly kicking off two of its insect limbs. The injured Black-Winged Insect Type-II quickly increased the distance; at this moment, it already had multiple wounds on its body, and besides having pierced the heart and lungs of one Human, it had...

Wait! Why wasn't that Human dead yet? His heart and lungs should have been destroyed by its energy! How was he still acting like nothing had happened? Could it be that its attack hadn't been effective? Impossible, it had indeed destroyed his organs just now! But why was this?

Seeing the Salamanders Space Marine it had "killed" while suffering several wounds acting like nothing had happened and continuing to launch attacks at it, the Black-Winged Insect Type-II felt a sense of numbness.
