Chapter 102: Respond
Planet S36 is the outermost planet of the federation, and an important military station for the federation to resist the Zerg. It is the federation general who is responsible for garrison here.
In military garrisons, non-soldiers are not allowed to enter, but Sheng Heng would come and stay for a period of time every year when he was young. In the words of his father, every boy in the Sheng family has been a soldier of the Federation since he was born.
However, Sheng Heng has not been here for many years since he was a child. Since his hand was accidentally injured, the doctor diagnosed that he could not repair it, and he could no longer become a mecha fighter, Sheng Heng never again. Been here.
After returning to this place more than ten years later, Sheng Heng could hardly feel any strangeness. This planet, this base, and this starry sky are the places he dreamed of as a child.
"Second Master." A young man in military uniform appeared behind Sheng Heng.
"Brother Zi'an." Sheng Heng shouted with a smile.
The visitor's name is Qiu Zian, a college classmate of Sheng Heng's eldest brother Sheng Zhuo, and now he is also the deputy commander of the First Corps where his elder brother is.
"The group leader is already on the way back, and we have sent a message back for us to pick up. Do you want to be together?" Qiu Zi'an asked.
"Big brother is back? Going to meet him, is there any danger?" Sheng Heng took a step forward nervously.
"Don't be nervous, it's okay." Qiu Zi pacified, "This time we went to the Outland to wipe out the Zerg, and the process went smoothly, but the number of Zergs exceeded expectations, resulting in insufficient energy supply, so we let us pick it up."
Planet S36 is the front line against the Zerg. On the outskirts of the base, small groups of Zergs can be encountered at any time. These small groups of Zergs will not matter if they meet on weekdays, but if the mecha has no energy, it will be dangerous.
Sheng Zhuo also took this into consideration, so he sent a message in advance for Qiu Zi'an to respond in advance to prevent accidents.
Sheng Heng relaxed when he heard that his eldest brother was okay: "Can I go if you have a mission?"
"Of course." Qiu Zian said with a smile, "I heard your brother say that you are now a level 6 mecha fighter. The man of the Sheng family was born a fighter of the Federation. Now you can pilot the mecha again, don't you want to do it? Soldier?"
"Of course." Sheng Heng said immediately.
"What nonsense is that?" Qiu Zi'an said.
Sheng Heng nodded heavily, followed Qiu Zi'an and walked out of the base, and then drove the mecha up into the sky and flew towards space.
Qiu Zi'an didn't take many people because it was just taking on the task, and there were only five people in total with Sheng Heng. Among these five people, except for Qiu Zi'an who was driving a level seven mecha, the rest were level six mechas. But as he flew all the way, the Black Soul followed closely behind Qiu Zian's mecha.
"I heard from your brother that although your Black Soul is a level six mecha, it has only the performance of a level five mecha after being modified. How can it fly so fast?" Qiu Zian asked curiously on the road.
"There are two systems in Black Soul, an original system and a mimic system. I am using the original system now." Sheng Heng explained.
"So that's the case." Qiu Zi'an nodded, and said something else. Suddenly, a reminder requesting communication sounded in the cockpit.
Qiu Zian glanced at the source of the signal, then connected with a smile: "Leader."
A young man in military uniform with a face similar to that of Sheng Heng appeared on the screen. This person is Sheng Zhuo: "How long will it take for you to come here."
"Twenty minutes." Qiu Zian replied.
Sheng Zhuo frowned, and just about to speak, the picture shook for a while. The place where Sheng Zhuo was was as if it had been hit by something, and the vibration signal was unstable.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Zian's smile constricted: "Head, have you encountered an attack?"
"We met a small group of Zerg scouts, and there were three eighth-level Zergs in it." Sheng Zhuo said calmly without a trace of panic on his face.
"Do you still have energy?" Qiu Zian said nervously. He came out this time to respond, isn't it because Sheng Zhuo and the others don't have enough energy?
"The mecha energy is exhausted, and there is still a part of the warship."
"How long can it last?"
"Fifteen minutes, I will try my best to rush to your side and meet halfway." After that, Sheng Zhuo hung up the communication.
fifteen minutes? That is, there are still five minutes of vacancy, three eighth-level zergs, let alone five minutes, as long as they find a chance, they can tear the battleship in one minute.
Qiu Zian opened the team's internal communications and quickly said: "The head of the team encountered a Zerg attack in front. I will answer it first. You can rush over according to the coordinates."
"Yes!"
Qiu Zi'an was driving a Class 7 mech, which was originally flying faster than other people. As soon as he accelerated at this time, he immediately stood out and flew toward the depths of the starry sky.
And almost at the same time Qiu Zian's mecha flew out, the mecha that had been following him suddenly accelerated and rushed out. The mecha turned into a streamer, swiftly flying in space, and fell far behind Qiu Zian's mecha.
Qiu Zian detected the organic armor from the rear, took a look and found that it was a black soul, and was immediately surprised: "Sheng Heng, how did you catch up?"
"I'll help." Sheng Heng said.
"The front is the eighth-level Zerg, which is not something you can handle." Qiu Zi'an has regretted it now. He thought it was just a simple response task and there was no danger. Only then did he want to bring Sheng Heng, who had been away from the battlefield for a long time, to experience it, but he didn't want to. Killed three eighth-level Zerg halfway through.
Sheng Heng is only a sophomore, driving a level six mecha. When he meets a level eight Zerg, where will he be an opponent. Even if they are frontline fighters who have experienced many battles, if they drive a level 6 mech against an 8th level Zerg, at least three mechas will have to check them together.
"I'm going to send energy blocks to my eldest brother." Sheng Heng said.
"Do you have an eighth-level energy block?" Sheng Zhuo is an eighth-level mecha fighter. If he can equip energy in time, the eighth-level Zerg is not his opponent at all.
"Yes, I am now equipped with an eight-level energy block." Sheng Heng said.
Good guy, a level 6 mech armor with level 8 energy block is really luxurious, no wonder it can catch up to my speed.
"Well, after a while, I will contain the Zerg, you find the opportunity to get on the battleship to send energy blocks to the regiment leader." Qiu Zi'an arranged.
The two stopped talking and galloped with all their strength.
Qiu Zi'an was the first to arrive on the battlefield. Although the Black Soul was equipped with a high-level eighth energy block, the sixth-level mecha was always a sixth-level mecha. After a long time, Qiu Zi'an opened the distance.
When Qiu Zian arrived, one minute had passed since the fifteen minutes Sheng Zhuo said. In the void, a silver-white warship was passively evading, and a dozen large-sized Zergs were chasing after him.
Among them, three of the Zerg are particularly huge, almost half the size of a battleship. They are waving their dark front paws and slashing at the battleship that flees forward.
Qiu Zi'an was shocked when he saw this, without thinking about it, a particle cannon blasted it over.
The eighth-level zerg was in pain, turned his head to look in Qiu Zian's direction, but did not chase him immediately, but sent out a series of spiritual waves, ordering three seventh-level zergs to fly towards Qiu Zian's mecha.
When Qiu Zian called out his melee weapon and was about to kill, Sheng Zhuo's communication came in again: "You can't break the siege of the Zerg alone. The battleship still has some energy and can fly quickly. You cover us and drag it to the back. Reinforcements come."
"Yes." Qiu Zian put away his melee weapons, and at the same time turned on all the long-range weapons equipped by the mecha, began to bombard the dozen or so Zergs from a distance, hindering their forward speed.
Qiu Zian's fire bombardment still did a certain amount of damage to the attacks of the seventh-level zerg, but the damage to the eighth-level zerg was not high. Finally, under Qiu Zian's constant bombardment, an eighth-level zerg changed its target and rushed towards him. Past.
"Be careful!" Sheng Zhuo reminded.
Qiu Zi'an was waiting, and was about to distance himself, when a strong mental shock wave violently hit.
Qiu Zian snorted, his face turned pale.
He immediately opened the high-level tranquilizer he carried with him and took it to himself, but it was just the skill of drinking the medicine that the eighth-level Zerg was already in front of his eyes.
With a "bang", one of the front paws of the eighth-level Zerg swept towards Qiu Zian.
Qiu Zian reacted extremely quickly, and then the particle cannon's recoil almost dodged, but the outer skin of the mecha was still cut by the front claws of the Zerg. The system took an alarm and the forearm of the mecha was seriously damaged.
Qiu Zian's face changed abruptly, and if his forearm was severely damaged, he couldn't be nervous. And his mech is a seven-level mech. If it can't fight in close combat, the long-range weapon can't break the defense of the eighth-level mech.
"Zi'an?" Sheng Zhuo's worried voice came from the communicator.
"Captain, I will cover you. You go quickly. Sheng Heng is behind. You should be able to arrive in a minute." Qiu Zian said quickly. As long as Sheng Heng comes over, the captain's mecha can regain combat strength. Up.
"Sheng Heng?! Why did he come here?" Sheng Zhuo's expression suddenly changed. Why did Sheng Heng come here? Black Soul is only a level six mecha. Isn't it going to die if he encounters an eighth level Zerg?
Qiu Zian couldn't answer, desperately preventing the Zerg from approaching the warship. Sheng Zhuo stopped asking Qiu Zi'an about the situation and ordered the warship to move forward quickly. Only if they are safe, can Qiu Zian have a chance to run away.
The distance between Sheng Heng and them was not far. One of them chased forward and the other retreated, and soon they saw the other side's figure in the field of vision.
"Big Brother!" Sheng Heng subconsciously yelled when he saw the battleship with the Shengjia logo.
Sheng Zhuo's communication also came in at the same time, and he couldn't take care of it for a long time. He shouted anxiously: "Get on the battleship, give me the energy block."
At the same time, a group of dazzling fire light came from the black soul's external view.
"Brother Zi'an?!" Sheng Heng turned his eyes and saw that Qiu Zi'an's mecha had been surrounded by two eighth-level zergs one after the other, unable to retreat.
Before he could think about it, Sheng Heng activated the particle cannon that Yan Haocai helped him mount on his shoulder, and raised his hand with two cannons.
After a dazzling fire, the Zerg who was about to cut Qiu Zian's mecha was hit by a sudden shot and flew out. That power is actually a bit stronger than Qiu Zian's mecha particle cannon.
Is it the head of the star? !
Qiu Zi'an turned the screen and saw a black mecha with only level six.
Black soul.
