The sky was obscured by the dazzling light.
Even the sun and the stardust in the sky were robbed of their brilliance.
The Celestial Trade Marines stationed at the spaceport detonated the nuclear fusion generator, and the 20 kilograms of deuterium storage tanks and three tanks of helium were all pushed into the reactor. The heat-resistant reactor was instantly gasified under the huge heat. Together with the entire space nuclear power plant, the spaceport, the insect ships that invaded the spaceport, and the civilians and soldiers who were facing the massacre … they were all engulfed in the halo of the nuclear explosion …
The space elevator twisted in an incredible posture, broke into several pieces in the air, and fell to the ground. Not far away, the warp engine behind the Sventovet, which suppressed more than a dozen insect ships at the same time, began to eject a faint blue light.
"The engine of the Sventovet is started, they are evacuating!"
The officer in power armor walked into the command room and saluted.
"Got it."
Hong Zewei nodded and glanced at the phone in his hand. A complicated look appeared in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the fortitude of facing death.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then opened them again.
"The last order."
"Fulfill your last mission."
"Roger!"
The officer saluted without a trace of fear in his eyes, turned around, and walked out the door.
…
"They're coming."
Looking at the ribbon-shaped flesh-red splits in the sky, the soldiers squatting in the bunker in Tiangong City were sweating as they clenched their rifles. Their eyes were either excited, relieved, or calm, but there was no fear.
From the beginning of this war, there was no need to consider the issue of survival.
If no one could survive in the end, there was nothing to be afraid of.
They were taking the first step, that was all.
Large pieces of flesh fell from the air, and the tentacle-like tentacles retracted behind them. The shield generator operated to the limit, and the pale yellow graviton shield covered every inch of the entire Tiangong City. The electromagnetic anti-aircraft cannons were charged, and the rocket launchers aimed the missiles into the sky.
The fierce fire exploded in the air, reflecting the dim glow on the horizon.
The dense firepower did not stop the swarm from descending. Hundreds of hives landed on the surface of Mars and swallowed the carbon dioxide gas in large mouthfuls. At the same time, they released their spores to corrode the entire planet. Anti-air vehicles and electromagnetic cannons exploded one after another, and the anti-air firepower points around Tiangong City were bombarded by Klein particle rays launched by splits flying in the air.
The Minister of Mutant Countermeasures of Tiangong City ordered the closure of the ultrasonic fence and lifted the suppression of Devil Worms and other Martian creatures. Devil Worms swarmed from the depths of the underground to the surface, cruising around the Tiangong City covered by the alloy floor. They rubbed their bloodthirsty fangs and began to hunt the living creatures on the surface.
However, even these ancient creatures were no match for the powerful mutant soldiers. In the end, he could only use his own corpse as fertilizer for the broodmother nest.
"Lock the vent gate! Burn the crops! "
"Turn off the gas filtration system and activate the liquid oxygen reserve in the armor."
More than a thousand Marines were deployed in their respective combat positions. Hong Zewei opened the equipment warehouse of Tiangong City and distributed the remaining weapons and gas masks to the civilians who did not want to wait for death and stayed in Tiangong City.
If they were going to die anyway, it was better to die on the battlefield than to wait for the arrival of the Grim Reaper.
The Sventovet had already left the orbit of Mars, and twenty Beetle Ships chased after it. The remaining three or four Beetle Ships aimed their main cannons at the ground, and the Klein particle emission organ on their heads began to emit a crimson light.
Obviously, Celestial Trade was only a beginner in shield technology.
In less than three seconds, the orange-yellow shield crumbled under the bombardment of the thick and long rays. Groups of mutant soldiers attacked from the station of Tiangong City and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the Celestial Trade Marines stationed in front of the station.
The situation of the battle could almost be described as one-sided.
It was quite a foolish choice to fight on land with these bugs.
Their combat effectiveness on land was far stronger than the strength they showed in space.
Among them, there were four-legged, spider-like giant bugs that used an L-shaped barrel on the top to fire red Klein particle rays as thick as a forearm. There were also two-legged humanoid soldiers that used rifles connected to countless dark green pipes to fire acid bullets that could melt through rocks.
The largest number was a group of humanoid soldiers covered in scales, with a lizard tail necessary to balance the heavy armor, three sharp claws on their hands, and a triangular head. Among the soldiers of Harmony, the existence of this unit was probably similar to cannon fodder.
However, even as cannon fodder, the Celestial Trade Marines were still struggling.
The dark green poisonous spores had surrounded the entire Tiangong City and seeped in through the corroded pipes. These spores were fatal neurotoxins for other creatures, but for these mutant soldiers, it was the holy light that healed all wounds.
The soldiers crouched behind the bunker and fired at the station with heavy machine guns. They watched a mutant soldier covered in scales get shot off. However, in the next second, the dark green spores swarmed up, and the broken body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Damn it!"
With a curse, the soldier emptied the magazine of the machine gun. Just as he reached for the ammunition box next to him, a sharp blade slammed into him from the front and directly pierced through the nano-ceramic breastplate on his kinetic skeleton, hooking out his intestines along with his bones.
"Kakaka —"
The four-legged Wolf Beetle made a strange sound and continued to rush toward the Celestial Trade Marines' line of defense. The mutant soldiers riding on its back brandished hooked and sickle-shaped spears as they quickly reaped the lives of the Marines behind cover.
Not far away, the Tiger II tank raised its particle cannon, but before it could fire, a Klein particle ray turned it into a pile of scrap iron. The soldiers on the side quickly dodged to the sides, but in the end, they couldn't be faster than the Wolf Beetle cavalry.
Blood began to spread from the station, along with the slowly advancing dark green mist, along with the constantly broken pipes, all the way to the center of Tiangong City – the center of the colony. Hong Zewei looked at the swarm of insects outside the window and sighed softly. His trembling hand reached into the drawer and took out a pistol.
Although he had expected such an ending, he still felt a little regretful when it really happened to him.
There was only one bullet in the magazine.
That was what he left for himself.
At this moment, an earthquake suddenly came from under his feet.
Hong Zewei lost his balance and almost fell to the ground.
He held the table to steady himself, then he cast his bewildered eyes out the window. When he looked in the direction of Mount Olympus, his expression changed several times in a second, and finally, he shook his head helplessly.
"I hope you made the right choice."
He muttered this sentence silently, then continued to raise the muzzle, aimed at his temple, and pulled the trigger.
Outside the window, the earth shook.
Confused by what was happening under his feet, the attack of the swarm paused.
Not far away, Mount Olympus.
The legendary largest extinct volcano in the solar system spewed out lava at this moment …
