Chapter 488: No Reinforcements

Mijia let out a roar, and he was the first to spread his wings and charge into space.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of a bug.

The Power Sword descended.

Like a hot knife through butter, the bug was sliced in two; it kicked its legs once and died.

Following this, Mijia charged toward the next bug.

At the same time, the Super Soldiers following behind him also engaged the bugs at this moment.

For the 100 Super Soldiers wielding Power Swords, these bugs were nothing more than fodder sent to be slaughtered.

Not a single bug could survive under a Power Sword; even those with thick chitinous carapaces were defenseless before a Power Sword.

With just a single strike, they were sliced in two.

However, the remaining 400 Super Soldiers wielding Chainswords did not have it so easy after engaging the bugs; instead, they were struggling somewhat.

The roaring Chainswords cut into the bugs' chitinous carapaces, kicking up large showers of sparks.

Yet those chitinous carapaces remained completely undamaged.

The bugs naturally seized this opportunity to counterattack.

Sickle-shaped Bone Blades slashed against the Power Armor of the first-generation Super Soldiers, likewise producing bursts of sparks.

However, no one noticed that.

Those Power Armor suits of the first-generation Super Soldiers, after being attacked by the bugs, were left with gashes of various sizes, unlike when they encountered other enemies where they couldn't even break the defense.

This defensive battle had been going on for a full three hours.

The Power Armor on Mijia's body had long since been dyed green by the bugs' blood. The Power Sword in his hand also began to flicker.

This situation indicated that the Power Sword's energy was running out and it needed a new energy source.

But Mijia simply could not find the time to replace the Power Sword's energy source.

The situation for the other soldiers was no better.

Especially those Super Soldiers using Chainswords; they had actually begun to suffer casualties.

Many of them had their Power Armor cut open by the bugs' Bone Blades, exposing the wounds beneath.

Furthermore, their Chainswords had also developed notches due to this high-intensity combat, though these Chainswords could still barely manage to kill enemies.

And after a full three hours of high-intensity combat, the bugs in space were only slightly fewer than at the very beginning, and they were contained within a specific area.

Other than that, there was no change; that Flesh Nest was still producing bugs.

Moreover, those bugs were still growing into adults just seconds after being born, and were immediately thrown into battle.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly dire, Mijia couldn't help but roar.

"What is going on!"

"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements? Why are we the only ones fighting!"

Just at this moment, a scream rang out.

Mijia turned his head to look, only to see a first-generation Super Soldier had been run through by a bug.

And this bug, compared to the previous ones, was even larger in size, its Bone Blade was sharper, and the Bone Blade even shimmered with a green light.

One look told him it was poisoned.

Sure enough, when that bug pulled out its Bone Blade, the Super Soldier's wound turned black and began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With no time to think, Mijia rushed over, preparing to use the Power Sword in his hand to sever the bug's head.

But at this critical moment, the Power Sword in his hand completely ran out of energy.

It turned into an ordinary sword.

But even so, Mijia had no intention of retreating.

He still charged over, simultaneously grabbing the bug's head with one hand.

"Ahhh!!!"

Following Mijia's roar, the bug's head, along with some of its spine, was actually ripped out by him by sheer force.

Instantly, green bug blood splattered onto Mijia's helmet, just enough to block his vision.

Seeing his vision obscured, Mijia did not hesitate in the slightest; he ripped off his helmet, revealing his face.

Immediately, he replaced the energy source for his Power Sword at an extremely fast speed and charged back into the swarm of bugs.

While slaughtering the Zerg, Mijia loudly called out to Earth.

"Calling Earth Headquarters, calling Earth Headquarters!"

"Why has it been three hours and the reinforcements still haven't arrived!"

"I already have wounded here!"

But no matter how Mijia shouted, there was not a single response from the communication channel; there was only a buzzing sound of static.

It made Mijia feel agitated.

Seeing that he could not contact Earth Headquarters, Mijia immediately contacted Tiangong on Mars.

"Tiangong, please respond if you receive this!"

As soon as his voice fell, Tiangong immediately replied.

"Received, please state your issue."

Mijia immediately asked: "I cannot contact Earth Headquarters, can you at Tiangong reach them!"

"Also, I demand that you at Tiangong immediately provide 400 sets of Power Armor with Constant Silver Coating, along with Power Swords!"

"Did you hear me!"

Tiangong was silent for a moment...

"Heard you, but unfortunately, Mijia, you do not have the authority to requisition Power Armor and Power Swords; you are only a squad leader."

"As for Earth, Tiangong Base cannot be reached at the moment, but we are actively trying to contact them. Please hold on for a moment longer!"

Upon hearing this, Mijia, who was already extremely furious, became even more enraged at this moment.

"Screw you!"

"At a time like this, you're still emphasizing authority to me! My soldiers have already suffered casualties; they need better equipment!"

"I'm telling you, if we know the defensive line has been breached, the base on Mars will be the first to suffer an attack from the bugs!"

"Can you understand human speech!"

After a moment of silence from Tiangong Base, they agreed to Mijia's request.

"Tiangong will immediately prepare 400 sets of Power Armor and Power Swords for you, but whatever happens afterward, you, Mijia, will bear the responsibility!"

"I'll bear it! Even if the sky falls, I'll take it on alone!" Mijia did not hesitate, agreeing immediately, and killed another bug with a casual strike.

Afterward, Mijia shouted in the temporary channel.

"All First Generation Super Soldiers, return to Mars immediately. There is new equipment prepared for you there. Return at once after changing!"

"Second Generation soldiers, let's grit our teeth and hold on!"

Having said that, Mijia charged into the swarm of bugs once again.

The 401 Super Soldiers who received the order immediately returned to Mars.

They changed into the new equipment at the fastest speed and rejoined the battlefield.

Suddenly, the pressure on Mijia eased significantly.

So he called Earth again.

"Earth Headquarters, please respond if you receive this, please respond!"

"Can you hear me!"

But this time, the only answer he received was a burst of static; there was no reply at all.

Helpless, Mijia could only quickly switch to the internal legion communication, entered the authorization password five times in a row, and finally connected to the exclusive communication channel of the Qi Lin Legion.
