Chapter 1,289 Counterattack!

Mars synchronous orbit.

Against the backdrop of two faint blue arcs of light, a starship slowly approached the fiery red planet.

In the bridge, the staff member sitting in front of the computer said calmly in a clear and articulate voice.

"The orbital parameters have been corrected and are entering Mars synchronous orbit."

"All parameters are normal."

"The mission started and the airdrop capsule separated successfully."

"The separation is successful, and the airdrop capsule is stably falling out of the synchronous orbit."

"..."

"The route has been corrected and can be set off at any time."

Looking at the fiery red planet outside the bridge, the captain standing directly behind the bridge took a deep breath, picked up the wired intercom from the table, and ordered in a deep voice, "Attention all units, the main engine is ignited. , set sail again!”

"receive."

After dropping the cabin hanging on its belly, the Origin orbited the outer space of Mars for a quarter of a week. It only had a face-to-face encounter with the Expedition stationed in the synchronous orbit, and then pointed the bow of the ship towards Mars and Mars. In the asteroid belt between Jupiter, the nuclear fusion engine is re-ignited.

Driven by the dazzling white light, the pitch-black ship pierced the starry sky like a sharp sword and disappeared into the endless cold night.

…

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, fierce battles outside the colony continued to break out.

The insect swarm continued to pounce on the Halo Marines fighting on the wall, eating away at the colony's strong defenses with acid and corpses. Electromagnetic gun projectiles wreaked havoc on the battlefield, and the yellow sand covered the bloody battlefield, making all the killings confusing.

Just as the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, a black shadow fell from an altitude of 10,000 meters against the backdrop of a ball of fiery red light. Just like a meteor from the sky, it crashed into the chaotic battlefield.

boom--!

The steel hull came into close contact with the earth.

The rough hard landing flattened a sand dune, raising a cloud of milky gray dust in the desert outside the colony.

The bottom of the cabin is deeply embedded in the ground,

Crush dozens of Corruptors that were besieging the colony into pieces.

When the bugs stared blankly at the extraterrestrial visitor, the front door of the cabin collapsed, revealing the giant drill hidden behind the door.

The bugs surrounding the cabin stood there in a daze, looking at the monster that hit the center of their position in bewilderment. Just as one of the Corruptors reacted and tentatively spat a mouthful of corrosive phlegm into the cabin, the steel behemoth parked in the cabin moved.

The roar of the engine rippled through the thin atmosphere.

Carrying a huge drill bit, a steel behemoth drove out of the cabin.

To talk about the difference between this drill car and those in the colony, first of all, in terms of size, this thing is more than twice as big as those little guys. The thick titanium alloy armor is covered with a layer of organic anti-corrosion material. This material is extracted from the blood vessels of devil bugs, and can even neutralize acid that is strong enough to corrode rock!

The top and sides of the drill vehicle are also equipped with small-caliber electromagnetic rapid-fire cannons, which can accelerate ten-gram projectiles to three times the speed of sound, which is more than enough to penetrate the Corruptor's horny armor. In addition, there are two propellers that are as long as large screws hanging on both sides of the heavy rubber tires, which can propel it smoothly on any terrain.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if it rushes into the center of the insect swarm, this steel monster armed to the teeth can kill seven in and seven out of the insect swarm without being hurt.

"Digger Warrior", this is the name of this steel behemoth, with white paint painted on its sides.

Its function is just like its name. Whether it is above ground or underground, there is no place in this desert that it cannot go!

"Hold the grass, this thing is really big..." Looking at the drilling truck driving out of the cabin, the soldier squatting next to Zhang Hai with his rifle couldn't help but admired.

"What did I see? A heavily armed drill truck?"

"Haha, Digger, this name is misleading."

What arrived together was not only this steel behemoth, but also a hundred pieces of T-4H aerospace power armor painted with corrosion-resistant coating. Different from the T-4 powered armor, the rotating gun barrel on the right arm of these T-4Hs was changed into an electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon with a relatively slow firing rate but greater power. Between the two pairs of vortex engines behind the armor, two bottles of oxygen tubes were installed, enough to last for twenty-four hours.

Soon, the gate to the west wall of the colony slowly opened, and infantry fighting vehicles formed an attack formation, carrying the billowing dust and rushing towards the cabin abandoned among the insects.

The mass shells fired from the Expedition's ground-mounted naval guns hit the surface one after another, breaking the formation of the Corruptors surrounding the convoy.

Just as the convoy rushed to both sides of the cabin, the door of the carriage opened suddenly. The Marines sitting in the infantry fighting vehicles jumped out of the carriage with rifles in hand. They moved closer together in an orderly manner and formed a defensive formation in small groups. , while maintaining the rhythm of firing, he moved closer to the open cabin.

The "Digger Warrior" who rushed out of the cabin showed its terrifying combat effectiveness in the first battle.

The propellers hanging on both sides of the tires fell heavily, raising the entire car body. The drill bit covering the entire front end of the car body was pointed diagonally downward, spinning into a swirling stream of light.

The sand was thrown ten meters into the air.

The entire drilling vehicle was like a devil bug made of steel. In less than half a minute, the entire vehicle body had sunk to the ground. It was carrying engineering vehicles with screw propulsion devices suspended one after another, heading towards the direction where the underground corroders were gathering. Kill.

The entire desert was like a river sprinkled with lime, boiling restlessly.

The Corruptor hiding underground was caught off guard by the steel behemoth that suddenly emerged. When faced with this monster, they were not good at digging. They could only spat out the acid in their mouths in vain, and used their sharp claws that were no less than steel to hit the ferocious drill bit. In the end, they were stirred into pieces by the titanium alloy drill bit that was even worse than steel. fragments.

The offensive on the surface suddenly slowed down.

Under the cover of the "Digger Warriors", the Marines who rushed into the cabin had already changed their equipment. Having simulated operations countless times in the virtual reality training system, they quickly adapted to this powerful new armor and stepped out of the cabin with the electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon hanging from their right arm.

"This is the headquarters. Soldiers of Company A, please pay attention. Your mission is to follow the Digging Warriors to advance to Mine No. 071 and snatch back the land and glory we once lost from those dirty bugs!"

"clear!"

Listening to the sound of electric current charging along his right arm, Zhang Hai's heart surged with excitement.

The streamlined shell, the thick titanium alloy heavy armor, the sudden flash of blue light when the right arm gun barrel is fired, and the blood and shell fragments of the exploded Corruptor.

This futuristic armor simply hit the G-spot in his heart.

With such powerful equipment, he had no doubt of the coming victory.

Faced with flying acid, Marines no longer had to rush for cover this time.

The same material as the blood vessels of devil bugs, which has super corrosion resistance, is doped in the organic coating on their shells. Even if the whole body is covered with acid, there is no need to worry about being burned out.

The soldiers who were armed to the teeth gathered behind the sand dunes on the west side of the colony, reboarded their infantry fighting vehicles, and followed the footsteps of the digging warriors who were rampaging underground, heading towards Mine No. 071...
