Volume 3 Chapter 208 The Human Master is Back
Boom boom boom.
Small mushroom clouds rose in the long-abandoned living area.
Nine warriors wearing power armor fired the last small nuclear bombs on their bodies in one breath, creating a large insect-free area among the insect swarm.
However, there were so many insects that in the blink of an eye, the nine people were surrounded by all kinds of insects again.
There are insects as big as hounds that constantly spit out poisonous stings.
There are also insects as big as elephants, covered in thick shells.
They densely swarmed across the area that had just been cleared and rushed towards the nine people again.
The nine power armored warriors continued to rush towards the swarm without showing any weakness.
He looked so fearless and brave that he completely disregarded death.
This is also a certain nature of the Eldar, a race that was bred purely for fighting. Once they encounter a battle, they will ignore everything in their passion.
Then, after they had killed countless bugs while wielding their chainswords, they were eventually overwhelmed by them.
One by one, the Eldar warriors had their limbs tightly wrapped by insects, unable to move, and were then bitten repeatedly by the huge Zerg with sharp mouthparts. During this time, the Eldar warriors struggled again and again to break free and kill the insects that were biting them.
But there were too many bugs, and they were trapped and bitten again and again. After countless times, the shell of the power armor was finally torn open. Then the bugs tore the elves inside out and ate them.
The huge insect, as big as a hill, watched all nine power armor warriors being destroyed, then it lay down leisurely again.
For it, this was just another destruction of a few weak beings that followed humans. It added a little fun to its long life, and that was all.
At the same time, on the Qingfeng, in the cloning chambers that had been on standby for a long time, new bodies grew from the beginning to completion in just a few seconds, which was extremely fast.
Immediately, one body after another opened their eyes and the hatch opened.
Wei Fu shook his head and walked out.
He is still a little confused now.
He was still immersed in the thrilling battle with the Zerg and the unwillingness before death.
He was still a little confused about what had happened, until he thought about it for a moment, then he remembered.
After following Lin Xu away, they had already recorded their consciousness information in the consciousness anchor point.
Once dead, the consciousness can be instantly teleported back and resurrected.
However, in the fierce battle, they completely forgot about this matter.
It was not until I was actually resurrected that I remembered that this had ever happened.
"Ah, I remember now. So this is the feeling of resurrection?" Wei Fu touched his big bald head with sudden realization.
Although the elves have always had bald and bearded factions.
But Weifu has always been a member of the bearded group, and it is a bit difficult to get used to him suddenly becoming a bald head.
“It really hurts when you’re eaten by bugs.”
"I told you a long time ago, if you adjust your pain nerves like I did, it won't hurt so much."
"Without the sense of pain, there is no fun in fighting. Fighting should be accompanied by pain."
The other team members were also having heated discussions.
And Weifu interrupted their chat.
"Okay, we still have a mission to complete. Let's put on our power armor, take our big guys, and continue our journey to let those damn bugs see how powerful we are." Weef clenched his fists and waved them with great momentum.
"Let them see it for themselves."
So, after a while, the third team set off again.
But this time, in addition to wearing power armor, they also carried what they called large equipment.
A row of recoilless guns with thick muzzles that can only be carried on the shoulders of power armor.
And a matching ammunition box as big as a truck.
There was a mushroom cloud symbol painted on the ammunition box, and it was obvious that it was filled with mushroom eggs.
"Let's go."
So at Weifu's command, the members of the third team, each carrying a recoilless gun and holding an ammunition box as big as a truck full of nuclear bombs, jumped off the Qingfeng and fell straight to the ground.
They are also not afraid of the nuclear bomb being accidentally detonated.
Anyway, you can be resurrected infinitely, so what's there to be afraid of?
The elves, who were already very passionate in fighting and fearless, have now unlocked the achievement of unlimited resurrection, and have become even more unscrupulous.
Boom, boom, boom! One by one, the power armored warriors fell heavily to the ground. As they were holding the ammunition boxes in both hands, the weight of the supply boxes also fell on them. The huge inertial force directly smashed a deep pit in the ground. The lower body of each power armored warrior was stuck in the deep pit.
Then, they jumped out of the deep pit holding ammunition boxes and ran towards the route they had just taken when they entered the underground.
And when they rushed back and prepared to give those bugs a big one.
The fifth team, which also expanded downwards like the third team, arrived at another living area.
This living area is completely different from the living area where the third team discovered the swarm.
Keith, the captain of the fifth team, had just broken through the floor beneath his feet when he saw the light shining in from the living area.
Then all the elves didn't need to go in, they just lowered their heads and looked down, and with the help of the light from below, they could see the general situation of this living area.
The ruins are still ruins, but there are plants growing and rivers flowing. More importantly, the artificial sun here is obviously still working, so it can emit such a bright light.
Then, several elves saw figures carefully taking water from the river.
Those figures were carrying rifles, and some were even holding machetes, standing guard in the surroundings. Then some people would go to the river to fetch water, obviously they were guarding against something.
"It seems that we are luckier than that guy Wef. We have found intelligent ." Keith laughed. This time he could be one step ahead of that guy Wef.
Then, the fifth team also jumped directly from the gap, targeting the dozen or so figures fetching water by the river, and fell rapidly.
Boom, boom, boom! Nine figures fell heavily to the ground, scaring the woman who was fetching water so much that she spilled all the water. The alert figures shouted loudly and pointed their guns at Weef and his group who were completely wrapped in armor. They looked extremely nervous at first, but after seeing the appearance of Weef and his group clearly, the expressions on their faces turned into surprise, and then turned to excitement.
"You, are you human adults?" someone asked loudly to Keith and others.
"Human sir? Is he really a human sir?"
"Could it be that the human master has returned?"
"Great, we are saved."
Before Wei Fu and the others could answer, a dozen people began to whisper excitedly.
"Us? Of course not, we are just insignificant followers of humans. Who are you?" Keith was very satisfied with these people's discussions. At least it could be seen that these people respected humans very much, so his tone became much softer.
As long as you believe in humanity, you are my half-brothers.
"Followers of humans? Then, what about the humans? Has the humans come back?" The girl who had just spilled the water asked Keith cautiously.
The others also looked at Keith with hope.
"Of course." Case nodded.
"Great, we are saved."
"There's help, there's help, woooooo!"
The women who were fetching water hugged each other and cried bitterly. The men on guard had already put down their guns, and their eyes were filled with tears.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but could you tell me what's going on here first?" Keith asked politely.
After all, the other party respects humans so much, they are brothers and sisters, so naturally we should be polite.
I can't bring discredit to my human followers.
The thought that I am now a follower of mankind and am following mankind in exploring the starry sky.
Keith puffed out his chest even harder, feeling proud.
"I'm sorry, sir. We are too excited. However, it is not safe here and we may be attacked at any time. How about we go to the settlement first?" A middle-aged man who looked like the leader, with an automatic rifle on his back, suggested to Keith with a firm look in his eyes.
"Okay. But don't worry. With us here, no threat can hurt you anymore." Keith nodded heavily and promised.
And his promise brought tears to the eyes of these somewhat embarrassed people.
"Lord Lin Xu, come and see. There are intelligent life forms, indeed intelligent life forms. How have they managed to survive for so long on this obviously abandoned fairy ship?" Nanzhu called out to Lin Xu who was still looking at the report that Yinghuo had just submitted.
"With food and water, of course they can survive. The fairy ship is so big, even if it is a ruin, it is a ruin as big as an entire planet. There is intelligent life on the planet, what's so strange about that." Lu Yao complained about Nanzhu's fuss.
"I mean, the life support system in the living area here is still functioning. Judging from the state of the fairy ship, it has been abandoned for at least a few thousand years. How can the life support system in the living area still be functioning after thousands of years? How can it function without anyone maintaining it?" Nanzhu didn't understand.
"How do you know there's no one maintaining it? Aren't these people?" Lu Yao pointed to the people Keith discovered on the holographic projection.
"Are these people in a condition that allows them to maintain a life support system? I'm afraid they don't even have qualified facilities." Nanzhu was suspicious.
As the two were discussing, Lin Xu curiously looked a few more times, but continued to read Yinghuo's report.
With the help of the Eldar, the nanorobots have spread deeper and deeper into the ruins of the fairy ship, exploring more and more areas, and the information gathered is also increasing.
The other teams of Eldar also discovered the insect-like life forms hidden in the living area, and the nanorobots even discovered more.
Not only in the living area, but also in various facilities inside the fairy ship, these bugs are present. Various corridors, halls, pipes, and many places are occupied by these bugs.
It was as if the entire ruins of the fairy ship had become a nest of insects and was infested by these insects.
"Lord Lin Xu, we need some insect samples." Yinghuo said.
Although nanorobots can directly extract a lot of information from these insects, the insects themselves may not even be able to detect it.
However, samples are still needed to conduct better research and determine a lot of information about these insects.
"Then let them send some back." Lin Xu said casually.
Then, the nine members of the third team of Weifu, who had just arrived above the living area filled with insects, received instructions from the terminal.
Looking at the signature of Lin Xu behind the instruction, Wei Fu suddenly felt full of strength.
"This is an order issued personally by Lord Lin Xu. Men, cheer up, kill these bugs and send the samples back." Wei Fu roared at his men.
"Kill these bugs." The faces of the team members turned red.
It is an honor to be able to complete the mission of mankind.
So, each team member held up the ammunition boxes and jumped down from the gap above again.
Boom, boom, boom, there was another continuous sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Nine power armored warriors held up the ammunition boxes and pulled their bodies out of the ground.
In the distance, the swarm of insects that had just wiped out Wei Fu and his nine men was once again alarmed by the loud noises and gathered together again.
The huge insect, as big as a hill, is a rare intelligent creature among the insect swarm.
At this time, he was constantly looking at Wei Fu and his group, full of surprise.
"Weren't you just eaten?" Amid the harsh sound of the insect's blade scratching across glass, there was actually some doubt in his voice.
"Yeah, so we crawled back from hell and this time we're here to eat you." Weife had a crazy smile on his face.
As he spoke, he raised the recoilless rifle above his shoulder.
At the same time, the tail of the gun has been connected to the mechanical structure of the ammunition box, which can automatically supply ammunition.
Not only Weif, but all nine power armors did the same, standing in a row with their guns pointed at the Zerg in the distance.
"If you keep playing tricks on me, I'll kill you again." The insect's harsh voice sounded again.
Then the entire swarm of insects roared and rushed towards Wei Fu and others in a mighty manner.
At the same time, at Weifu's order, the recoilless guns on the shoulders of nine power armors opened fire at the same time.
In an instant, small nuclear warheads were fired like ordinary artillery shells.
Mushroom clouds rose everywhere in the entire living area.
The roar of the insect swarm was completely drowned out by the roar of the mushrooms.
Even the giant bug that was as big as a hill disappeared after eating several mushroom eggs.
Until all the ammunition in the ammunition box behind him was fired.
Only then did Weifu drop the recoilless gun on his shoulder, and at the same time his helmet clicked open. He took out a cigar from the opened leg armor of the power armor, put it in his mouth and lit it.
"Boss, you forgot that the nuclear radiation exceeds the limit." The team member reminded.
"At worst, I can commit suicide and resurrect again. What's there to be afraid of?" Wei Fu said indifferently.
"yes."
All the subordinates reacted one after another. They thought, I can be resurrected now, so there is nothing I should be afraid of.
So they all opened their helmets and took a few breaths of fresh air with a smell of nuclear radiation.
"Okay, now that you've rested enough, let's get to work. We need every insect sample that Lord Lin Xu wants. It would be best if we could catch a few alive and send them back together." Weifu put on his helmet, and the smoke from the cigar continued to rise inside the helmet, so that not a single drop was wasted.
While the third team was busy collecting samples, Keith and others from the fifth team finally followed a dozen people who were fetching water back to their settlement.
It was a camp built halfway up the mountain.
The camp is not big. It is backed by a mountain wall and surrounded by walls. There are machine guns and cannons on the walls.
At the same time, there were several people patrolling on the wall. At first, they greeted the people who came back to get water, but then they saw Keith and others and became subconsciously alert.
But then, just like the people who were fetching water when they saw Keith and others, after they realized what was happening, they were all stunned.
It seems like he has thought of a possibility.
Then, the gate was opened. The settlement was not big, with only about a hundred people in total.
At this time, because of the arrival of Keith and others, everyone had come to the small open space, looking at them with curiosity and excitement.
The leader of the water-fetching team seemed to be the leader of this settlement. After explaining the situation, everyone cheered.
Just at this moment, the artificial sun above the settlement suddenly flickered a few times, and the light instantly became dim.
Suddenly, the faces of the hundreds of people who had been cheering just now changed.
"Everyone go up to the wall and prepare for battle." The middle-aged man who was the leader shouted.
As if they had experienced this a thousand times before, everyone picked up their weapons and ran towards the wall.
Only Keith and his group were still confused.
"What happened?" Case asked bluntly.
"The sun is about to go out, and the Zerg's attack is about to begin again. I don't know if we can hold on this time, and I don't know if the sun will ever have a chance to reignite." The leader's face had an open-minded smile, but also deep solemnity and unwillingness.
"The sun goes out, and it's reignited? The fusion reactor is restarted?" Keith looked up at the nuclear fusion reactor hanging in the sky, which is the artificial sun.
In an instant, the sun went out and the entire living area fell into darkness.
There are only faint lights from the stars in the sky, which are usually arranged on the sky. After absorbing the sunlight, they can shine fluorescently for a period of time.
Now it looks like a twinkling starry sky, or perhaps the original purpose was to simulate the starry sky.
Not long after the artificial sun went out, Keith heard a hissing sound coming from outside the settlement.
Although Keith had never seen the insects himself, the information shared by the other teams, especially the information shared by Weef from the third team who had been killed once, made him realize that the sound was the sound of the insect swarm.
However, just by listening to the sound of the insect swarm here, one could tell that it was much smaller than the swarm in the settlement that Weev encountered.
And there are no giant intelligent bugs.
Keith stood on the wall and looked out. Sure enough, the size of the swarm had become much smaller. Thousands of insects like hounds were rushing towards the settlement. Apart from the first group, there were no other insects.
However, even with this number of insects, it is still uncertain whether the hundreds of people in the settlement can survive.
Of course, that was before Keith and others arrived.
"What exactly are these bugs? And who are you?" Keith stood on the wall and asked the leader beside him the questions he had wanted to ask for a long time.
"It is a disaster. It is a disaster of the universe. Our ancestors, like you, were once followers of mankind, fighting against this disaster that swept the entire universe." The leader replied in a deep voice.
"A disaster sweeping the universe?" Keith frowned and looked at the bugs outside.
A cosmic disaster? That's it?
"Yes, don't you know? But aren't you followers of humans?" The leader looked at Keith puzzledly, with a doubtful expression.
"Your ancestors were followers of humans? Do you know about nanorobots?" Keith asked.
Even though they usually look like reckless men, the elves actually still have brains. They just tend to lose their brains when they get too excited.
"Nano robots? What are those?" the leader asked puzzledly.
For a moment, the conversation between the two seemed a bit irrelevant.
"Are you sure your ancestors were followers of humans?" Keith asked doubtfully.
"Of course, our ancestors defended this fortress in the starry sky for mankind and fought to the end." The leader suddenly became excited, as if Keith's questioning was an insult.
"A fortress in the starry sky? Isn't this a fairy ship?" Keith continued to wonder.
"Fairy ship? What is that?" the leader was even more confused.
The two of them looked at each other, and both felt that there seemed to be a huge problem in the communication between them.
At this time, the swarm of insects had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and the cannons and machine guns on the city wall had also opened fire.
But even so, there were still insects like hounds that quickly attacked and rushed up the city wall.
Keith casually pulled out his chainsaw sword and chopped a bug that was rushing towards him and was about to pounce on a nearby settlement warrior into two halves.
"If you have anything to say, let's talk later. I'll go deal with these bastards first."
As he spoke, Keith jumped directly from the city wall amid the screams of the people in the settlement.
Along with him jumped down, there were eight other Eldar warriors.
Nine people wearing power armor stood in a row, wielding chainswords, and rushed towards the dense swarm of insects.
It rushed forward, tearing a bloody path through the swarm of insects and tearing each one to pieces.
Even if these bugs managed to pounce on the power armor, they were completely unable to tear it apart. They were simply grabbed off and their heads cut off with chainswords.
As the people on the wall watched the figures in power armor killing everyone below, they were simply stunned. They never thought that killing the Zerg could be so easy.
Only the leader seemed to be thinking about something with a frown on his face.
