C461 – Surrender
“Reporting to command center, the operation hall has fallen, we have retreated to the ship branch control room.”
The soldiers used their guns to fire bullets while retreating, the bullets fired by the electromagnetic rifles were like a torrent, continuously hitting the beetles in the distance.
Bing Ku retreated to the command center, running wildly all the way. After a few minutes, he could not hear anything in front of him.
“Warriors, the captain just sent us a message. He wants us to go to the ship’s bow command center. There are enemies attacking the outer shell area.”
The captain was holding a communication device and holding a heavy electromagnetic rifle. He walked over quickly from afar.
The soldiers looked at each other and quickly followed his footsteps. At the same time, they were puzzled. “Why didn’t these enemies blow up our ship directly, but fought us in close combat with such a large number of casualties?”
Now was not the ancient era of cold weapons, the tactic of snatching warships could be said to be the least cost-effective method. Something that could be resolved with a single shot had to sacrifice tens of thousands of lives to fight the enemy inside the ship.
“I wonder if you know anything about biochemical beasts?” The captain asked as he walked.
“Biochemical beasts… artificial life?”
“Yes. Biochemical beasts have a very high cost and need to go through steps similar to the breeding of embryos. Therefore, the higher civilizations within the Alliance generally don’t spend too much to develop such special lives. Often, the cost of a biochemical beast is enough to produce at least 100 robots of the same level. Only after genetic technology appears… Until now… It is only now that we human soldiers have regained the initiative on the battlefield.” When the captain said this, he happened to arrive at the entrance of an elevator. Stopping in his tracks, he turned around and said to the soldiers, “But even today, there are still many robots that have been thrown into the battlefield. With Galaxy Empire’s production capacity, there are at least tens of millions of robots leaving the production line every day. They are thrown into the various fields of civilian and military.”
Bing Ku seemed to know what the captain meant, “The reason why you said all this…”
“The enemy uses individuals that are similar to biochemical beasts, and their technological level is… The enemy uses individuals that are similar to biochemical beasts, and their technological level is much higher than that of all the civilizations in the Alliance.” The captain raised his head and sighed silently, “This is very strange, unless the enemy finds a way to reduce the cost of biochemical beasts. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the development is, it can’t compare to the cost-effective ratio of robots.”
“Maybe these monsters are the same as us, using genetic vaccines?”
The captain sneered. “The cost of a bottle of drug is even higher than a group of robots. Have you guys never bought it before?”
Bing Ku “……”
The elevator arrived. Twelve people entered. As the door closed, a sense of weightlessness came over.
Very quickly, the door opened once again, revealing a long silver passageway. On the right side of the metal wall, there was a series of dull crashing sounds.
“Quick, those enemies are attacking the outer shell.”
The squad immediately quickened their pace.
No one could say for sure how the situation was right now. The enemy had been attacking for more than an hour. From the beginning when they were completely defeated, to the later time when they relied on the terrain to resist, The first to attack the most threatening Mechanical Insect was the Mechanical Insect. Their retreating speed was getting slower and slower.
However, it was a pity that even if the ordinary staff were included, the number of defending troops in the entire ship that had relatively strong combat ability was less than 80,000. Relying on the wave of defense established by these 80,000 people, it was destined to not have a good effect.
The insects’ attacks did not care about the price, and they did their best to make the cannon fodder charge in front of them as sacrifices.
Because there were three Mechanical Insect in total that were defeated by the enemy in five minutes, the Brain Insect changed tactics and piled up with a huge number of Beetle Army troops.
The soldiers’ rifles hit the bugs’ bodies and pierced through the bleeding holes. Once the seemingly weak small beetle successfully approached the enemy, they would use the pliers on their heads to release a wave of extremely fierce pincers.
The Explosive Beetle was the most terrifying cannon fodder. There were many of them, and each of them was equivalent to the artillery shells. Usually, one or two Explosive Beetle could kill several times, or even more than ten times the number of enemies.
When the Beetle Army’s advance was blocked, they only needed to shoot out a few Explosive Beetle, and they would be able to occupy the area in front of them.
Bing Ku’s team arrived at the headquarters. When they saw the captain, the staff members inside all raised their guns and looked around nervously.
This was the place where the defensive power was the strongest. The insects had attacked repeatedly for a long time, and had yet to open up the passageway to enter.
Bing Ku keenly noticed that the enemies did not use any protective clothing and were exposed to space just like that. They did not even need air when facing the radiation of the stars and various cosmic rays.
This kind of powerful vitality made him doubt, Is that really a biologically modified beast?
To be able to attack in an orderly manner without fear of death, such loyalty, was not something that artificial lifeforms could do. At least the civilizations in the Alliance had no way to make the biochemical beasts listen to them.
“Captain, are these enemies species like us? Creatures that rely solely on evolution to live in space.”
Bing Ku mustered up his courage and said to the captain.
“Oh?” The captain squinted his eyes, “This idea is a bit interesting, but it’s meaningless for you to say this, But I will send all of my speculations to the Mother Star. The enemy’s signal has yet to reach 100%.”
The big screen showed that half of the internal space had been lost. Most of the most difficult areas had already fallen into the enemy’s hands. Next, they would have to face the final battle.
The soldiers here waited for a few minutes before they suddenly felt the bugs on the ship stop knocking on the shell.
“What’s going on?”
“They seem to have given up on coming in from here.”
“That’s great.”
…
Amidst the discussions, the captain shook his head: “Everyone, don’t take any chances, just fight with all your might, we won’t be able to win.”
There were at least tens of millions of bugs floating around the ship, this kind of scene was truly spectacular to the extreme. Using an army of this scale, it should be worthy of the famous Boundary Ship.
“Everyone, the enemy is coming. You must always remind yourselves that these are enemies from outside the Milky Way. They came from a distant galaxy, an advanced civilization that we have never encountered before. Thus, you cannot underestimate your enemy, and you are qualified to be proud of your current bravery.”
Almost at the moment the captain said those words, with a rumble, the gate behind the command center was broken through.
The bugs swarmed in.
The soldiers inside all picked up their weapons and started firing.
But…
A Mechanical Insect came in and used its body to block the bullets, but it did not attack. Instead, it used a strange synthetic voice and said, “Surrender and not kill.”
