Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 507: Time to Counterattack (4000-word chapter)
Just when Levi helped Lieutenant General Maginot out of the office, the two happened to see an unforgettable scene in their lives - a huge giant with a diameter of more than 50 meters and a body length of more than [-] meters exposed to the outside. "Centipede" got out of the collapsed pit, and stood up!

If there are survivors in the support base of the reconnaissance team who can see this scene, they will be surprised to find that the body of this "centipede" is more than ten times larger than when it first appeared in front of human eyes!And this process only took a few days...

"This... what kind of monster is this? Why have I never heard of such a thing?! Is it an indigenous creature?" Marshall asked nervously. Although he was trying his best to conceal it, the deep part of his words The fear still showed itself involuntarily.

"No, general... that's probably not an indigenous creature..." Levi sullenly, his cheeks were pale, and he shook his head with some difficulty, "That thing... is a man-made monster..."

As if to verify what Levi said, the huge mouth on the top of the centipede's head suddenly opened, and countless pale flesh balls rolled out of its mouth—Magino took a closer look, only to find that the white flesh The clusters were actually clusters of entangled tentacles, and when these tentacles landed on the ground, they began to squirm and struggle, like octopuses waking up from hibernation.

"It's the seed of erosion!" Magino recognized immediately, "The one who attacked us is really a heretic sect!"

At the same time, Levi had already grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly: "Send the order! Open the No. [-] to No. [-] special ammunition depots to all soldiers! The enemies who invaded the base are the eroding seeds of heresy sects! All those who do not carry active ammunition Soldiers gather over there! Soldiers with active ammunition set up defensive positions on the spot to block the enemy! These things must not be allowed to pass the fifth wall!"

As Maginot's adjutant, Levi already had the power to issue orders to the base garrison—even though this power was only temporarily granted to him by Maginot.

"Where is the head? Where are the six heads under me, let them come to me immediately!" Magino, who had recovered, shouted to Levi.

The chief of the Mukah military base also serves as the commander of the "Seventh Armored Mixed Division" of the base garrison. As a reinforced division, it has four combat regiments, one engineering regiment, and one logistics regiment, a total of six regiments There are more than 10,000 people, and the heads of these six regiments are the senior officers in the base who rank second only to Maginot.

However, before Levi had time to ask, a somewhat hesitant voice came from the walkie-talkie: "The six regiment leaders...the regiment leaders...were discussing the allocation of new models of mechs in the hangar just now... "

"Hangar? Which hangar?" Maginot and Levi were both stunned, and then they looked at the giant centipede... the big pit under it.

The crying voice was still speaking on the other end of the walkie-talkie: "That's... that's the hangar that was attacked... The commander and the others are all stuck in it... No one came out... Life and death are unknown..."

What life and death are unknown!In this case, it is impossible for survivors to exist!Maginot looked down at the battlefield below in despair. He never imagined that the opponent's first round of surprise attack would directly take away his mid-level commander...

"The situation is not right, General!" Levi said, "This is definitely not a coincidence! I don't believe that this attack was due to luck. The heretic sect definitely had relevant information in advance... If I remember correctly, two days ago They agreed to discuss this matter, but at that time the venue for the discussion had not yet been decided...the first group leader and the second group leader were still arguing..."

Levi would like to say that there may be spies from heretic sects inside the base, but now is not the time to discuss this matter.

"General! Since the first target of the heretic sect is the six heads, their next target is likely to be you!"

The office of the military director of the Mukah base is located on a more than 60-meter-high artificial hill made of concrete. Inside the hill is a metal frame with as many as ten floors. There are metal partitions nearly half a meter thick in the room—perhaps because it is too difficult to break through, the heretic sect did not take this office as the primary target of attack.

"Of course, it is not ruled out that the heretic sect has already known in advance that the military director of the Mukah base has changed in the past few days...Compared with the general who just took office, the six commanders are obviously more important...Once the battle starts, these middle-level The commander is the most threatening role to the heretic sect." Levi thought to himself.

"Attack me here?" Machino was so shocked by Levi's words that the fat on his face trembled twice, "Then what should we do?"

The troops guarding the man-made hill are the guard battalion directly under Maginot. Although this guard battalion only has more than 200 people, there are fifty new-type mechas alone, which can definitely be regarded as the strongest combat force in the entire Mukahe base. An army... But when Magino cast his eyes on the giant centipede in the distance, the little sense of security brought to him by the elite guard battalion disappeared.

He didn't want to die here, he couldn't die here, and he shouldn't die here...

Although he has not witnessed the tragic situation when the Mukahe base was breached, those shocking data can be viewed by any officer-level officer... He doesn't even need to check the real photos, just Browsing through the series of breath-taking numbers, you can imagine the tragic picture.

His strong desire to survive made him put his hope on the last straw that he could grasp - Colonel Levi who had just been promoted by him to be an adjutant: "Levi... now, now, what should we do?"

According to the emergency response regulations, if an enemy invades the base, whether the enemy is an indigenous creature or a heretic sect, for safety, the military director of the base must immediately transfer to the backup command post in the bunker ——that is, the compartments in the concrete hill under their feet that were heavily protected by thick armor plates... But considering that the enemy launched an attack from the ground, the bunker is obviously no longer a safe place.

Levi thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go to the tarmac!"

"Are you planning to let me leave the base?" Machino was stunned, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, "No! This is absolutely not possible. As Mukahe's military chief, I must not abandon him at this time. The base escapes alone!"

Although he was very afraid of death, Machino also knew what it meant to run away... Instead of being deprived of his military rank and all his merits, then sentenced to death in a military court, and finally dying in humiliation on the execution ground, Machino would rather live and die with the base— —At least, this way of sacrifice can be considered an honor.

Although Machino has become more and more yearning for fame and fortune during the decades of serving in the garrison, as a soldier of the Ark, there are some things that have always been engraved deep in his heart... and after receiving the transfer order At that time, even if he was absolutely unwilling in his heart, he still had the awareness that he should have—even if he died here today, he would never step out of this base!
"No, it's not escaping!" Levi was stunned for half a second. Obviously, Maginot's attitude was a little bit unexpected, "The ground is no longer safe, but if you take a vehicle to the sky, you should be able to It can avoid the enemy's attack... It is condescending, and it is more convenient for you to command the overall battle... You must not die, at least you cannot die before the base falls."

Levi knew in his heart that if Maginot died, the situation would really be hopeless... Losing the commander would be a heavy blow to the morale of the soldiers, not to mention that the command could not be uniformly dispatched , The chaotic situation of different troops fighting on their own.

He even made second-hand preparations—if this General Maginot wanted to run away, he would shoot and kill him, and then use the name of Maginot to command the troops... As for the news of Maginot's killing, Before the battle is over, he will definitely not announce it.

Even if he would be held accountable afterwards, he would not hesitate.

But he was a little relieved that this seemingly unqualified new military officer did not seem to be that bad—at least, he still had the backbone that a soldier should have.

"Ah yes!" Hearing what Levi said, Machino nodded again and again, and then said to the commander of the guard battalion who was waiting aside, "Let the guard battalion go into battle immediately!"

"But...the first task of the security battalion is to protect your safety!" The battalion commander of the security battalion said hesitantly.

"It's good to have two people come out to protect me. Anyway, there can't be so many people on the plane." Machino said, "You are the strongest combat force in the base, and good steel should be used on the blade, not hidden in the knife." In the sheath!"

After saying this, Machino supported the steel on his head, and under the guard of several soldiers, he quickly ran towards the tarmac.

The apron is not far from his office, only more than 300 meters, but for Magino, who has not exercised all year round, it is like running a marathon. When he rushed to the apron out of breath, he stopped All the aircraft here have already taken off to support the battle, and there is only one large helicopter left specially for him.

Maginot, Levi, and several soldiers from the guard battalion quickly boarded the helicopter, and the rotating blades began to make a loud noise... But the helicopter was less than two meters away from the ground, and a louder explosion sounded from the ground. Word came from the office at the top of the hill!
The loud noise even overwhelmed the sound of the paddles that were close at hand, and made Maginot's cochlea buzz.

"My God..." A soldier couldn't help swallowing, "I remember, the protective steel plate of the bunker is nearly half a meter thick, right?"

"And there are a full twelve floors..." said another soldier.

Magino couldn't help but feel his hands and feet getting cold—if he was still standing on the top of the mountain, he would probably be a pile of rotten meat by now, right?
"Levi..." He turned his head and looked at the adjutant beside him.

"General?"

"You also know... I was transferred from the garrison... To be honest, I haven't figured out the purpose of this transfer order until now, but this is the meaning of the above, and I don't want to speculate... …but one thing, I have to be honest with you."

"You said." Levi nodded.

"Actually, I don't have any commanding experience in base offensive and defensive battles like this." Machino said, "Maybe... no, not maybe, but definitely... Any one of the six regiment leaders who are randomly pulled out must be better than the commander." I am strong. But they are all gone now... I hope you can command this battle instead of me, can you do it?"

Magino looked at Levi with a look of hope.

The opponent is a veteran who has stayed in this base for four years. In terms of combat experience, he is better than him, a general who sits in the office every day to approve documents.

"I..." Levi hesitated for a second, then nodded vigorously, "I will try my best."

"Thank you... I will leave everything to you, don't have any scruples, I will take full responsibility." Machino said solemnly.

……

……

At the same time, inside the ancient battleship "Yagunaktor", the power room.

The members of the reconnaissance team who were "hanging" on the floor, endured nearly [-] seconds of acceleration before the huge force on their bodies disappeared, and the originally slanted hull gradually returned to its level.

"...The battleship rushed out of the magma pool? We... Are we in the sky above the molten mine area?" The hound rubbed his chest and asked panting.

"It should be... Unfortunately, I can't see the outside..."

As soon as Layton finished speaking, a circle of phantoms like holographic projections suddenly appeared around. Everyone took a closer look. Couldn't that be the lead gray clouds above the mining area?

As if thinking of something, Layton immediately uttered a mouthful, and then shouted: "Look at your feet!"

There are also phantoms on the floor—in other words, the floor itself has become a phantom, and everyone seems to be suspended in the air, with a panoramic view of the molten mine area directly below!
Those flowing magma rivers, smoky fissures, and jagged fractured plates... Even the heretic sect troops passing through the mining area can see it clearly.

And those people on the ground also saw the giant floating in the sky.

I don't know why, although the influence of those people is smaller than that of rice grains, the hound can still see the horrified expressions on their faces.

"Damn! It's a heretic sect! Those are humans wearing protective suits! And the Seeds of Corrosion! Look, over there, and over there, they're all mutants! Oh boy, there are so many of them!" the hound exclaimed .

"Ke Lan? Ke Lan?! Can you hear me? Are there any weapons on this battleship that can be used? Can hit those guys on the ground--fuck, we are forced like a gutter by these guys Like the rats in the movie, now, it's our turn to fight back!"
