Everyone retreated while the Spider Zergs chased after them.
"F * ck, is this detector broken?"
Buck-teeth knocked on the detector in his hand. There were red dots everywhere.
Roar … Roar …
The ground shook again, and an endless stream of Spider Zergs poured out from behind the surrounding rocks. It was like a tidal wave, and this was not something a small team could handle.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"
Jansining said without hesitation. This time, they had not picked up a windfall, but had barged into a Zerg nest. What kind of bullsh * t information was this? According to the predetermined distance, they still had at least a day to travel. How did they end up here?
However, there was no time to think. They had to get out of this godforsaken place before the Zergs surrounded them.
"HQ, HQ, I am Jansining of the Third Regiment of the Eighth Brigade. Large-scale Zerg activity has been detected in Prada Area 59-91. Requesting air support! Requesting air support!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz …
"F * ck, what the hell?"
"Captain, our signal is jammed. There are high-level Zergs here. They are interfering with our communications!"
Buck-teeth's face was stiff. If even the Zergs had appeared, it meant that they had really run into a Zerg nest. No wonder the area was empty. Maybe the Zergs had cleared out the area.
"Captain, we are surrounded. What should we do?"
"Retreat, retreat into the cave!"
Jansining looked at the Zergs that covered the entire mountain and made up his mind. They were dead for sure. Unfortunately, Wang Tong had stumbled into a Zerg nest. All they could do now was wait for reinforcements.
Strangely, when they retreated into the cave, the Zergs did not pursue them aggressively. They just surrounded them.
"F * ck, what are they trying to do?"
Wang Tong observed the terrain and realized that the cave they were in was dug out by the Zergs, and if they were to go deeper, they might run into an army of Zergs. They were in a dilemma, but the strange thing was that the Zergs didn't seem to be attacking them immediately.
"They seem to be waiting for something. Or maybe they want to capture us alive," Wang Tong said. This time, they had really fallen into a Zerg nest.
"We can only wait for reinforcements. Wang Tong, you and I will guard the entrance. Big Face, you are in charge of defense. Big Quinn, Lil Quinn, Gang Ya, you guys guard the inside. It might also be a Zerg nest. We can't take the risk, so we just stay here. The rest of you, split into two groups and prepare for reinforcements!"
Any kind of battle would require a reserve team.
The insects only paused for a moment, then they began to charge. Wang Tong and Jansining immediately rushed toward the entrance. Due to the restriction of the entrance, only about a dozen Zergs could enter at a time, which saved them from being surrounded.
After a while, dozens of Zergs had fallen to the ground. Wang Tong knew he couldn't let this go on any longer. "Captain, you take a break, I'll hold the front. Everyone, hold the back. I think they're trying to capture us alive, or else we'll be killed by the Zerg Tanks."
Jansining had no choice but to step back. He felt that he would be a burden if he were to fight alongside Wang Tong. Once they were in a situation like this, especially in an open field, it would be difficult to have another person to hold them back. Wang Tong would be able to perform better alone.
"Buck-teeth, I don't care what method you use. Hurry up and contact headquarters. Damn it, I don't want to die here!"
Jansining yelled. Wang Tong was truly a one-man pass. No matter how the Zergs charged, he would be able to block them all. Moreover, Wang Tong wasn't hiding in the cave, but rather outside the entrance. This way, he had more space to maneuver, and the huge size of the Zergs didn't help him at all.
"Yes, Captain, I'm on it!" Buck-teeth kept calling for help. Even if the Zergs were disrupting them, there would definitely be a pause. Moreover, if this kind of disruption was detected by the headquarters, they would definitely be suspicious.
Obviously, the Zergs wouldn't release disruptive waves for no reason.
After a while, Big Quinn and Little Quinn returned. "Captain, this tunnel is only about ten meters long. Beyond it is the wall. I smashed it, it's completely solid."
Everyone's heart sank. If they could reach the nest of the Zergs, they might be able to fight for their lives. But now, they were like turtles in a jar, being turned into soup dumplings by the Zergs.
"Wang Tong, you take a break. We'll hold them off for a while!"
While they were talking, Wang Tong had already killed dozens of Zergs, and their corpses had piled up in front of the door. However, the Zergs didn't care what was in their way, they would tear it into pieces and devour it, including the bodies of their own kind.
Wang Tong didn't decline, he had seen the number of Zergs outside. Even though he was able to allocate his Soul Energy and Stamina well, it was still better to conserve as much as possible in a prolonged battle.
Wang Tong leaned against the wall, silently channeling his Tactics of the Blade. Once Wang Tong left, Big Head and the other five members of the team were barely able to hold the fort. Fortunately, they were able to cooperate well, or else they would have been defeated.
However, ten minutes later, Jansining led the second wave of soldiers to meet them. This was too exhausting, and they could only fight the bugs head-on in a limited space. The bugs were endless, and their stamina was limited.
Wang Tong stared at the swarm of Zergs outside calmly. It was impossible to break out of the encirclement, not even Wang Tong himself could do it. Moreover, he would be exhausted to death if he stayed here.
Never give up hope, because that would be failure. Wang Tong took a break and looked at the swarm of Zergs outside.
"Master, you are in a very dangerous situation."
Suddenly, a voice appeared in Wang Tong's mind. He looked around and noticed that the others didn't feel anything. Some of them were resting, while others were fighting.
"Charcoal?"
"Yes, Master. The number of Zergs outside has become a threat to you. Please leave immediately."
"Of course I know that. But how am I supposed to leave? Are you kidding me?"
"Master, I have done some calculations. If you activate your METAL Suit, you will be able to escape from these Zergs. Plus, you will be able to distract the rest of the team," Charcoal said.
"Isn't that nonsense? Forget it. Think of another way for me!"
Wang Tong didn't even think about it. He would never be able to live the rest of his life if he abandoned his teammates.
Just as Jansining had said, Wang Tong was a lazy person who didn't want to take responsibility. However, he was a sentimental person, and there were some things he couldn't do.
Wang Tong stepped forward again, and the other members of the ninth squad panted. "Captain, we can't go on like this. We are all going to die here."
Jansining glanced at Wang Tong, who was still fighting with ease, and gritted his teeth. They were already exhausted after only ten minutes of fighting. If they continued like this, they wouldn't even be able to last until nightfall. The Zergs were everywhere outside, and even if the HQ found out about the situation, they wouldn't be able to solve the problem in a short period of time. If the HQ decided to bombard them, they might even be killed.
The current situation was that they didn't have much hope.
The Zergs would be at an advantage once it got dark. Most of the Zergs had compound eyes, which were different from human eyes. Coupled with the exhaustion of the day, they might really die.
However, there was nothing Jansining could do. His mouth was cracked, but he still didn't respond. Jansining and the others rushed forward again to buy Wang Tong some time to rest.
Wang Tong was calm as he panted heavily. He could still hold on, but he could see that the others were getting worse. When their Soul Energy was depleted to the point that they could no longer maintain their METAL Suits, they would soon collapse under the pressure of Norton.
"Charcoal, think of something! I need to get everyone out of here!"
Wang Tong closed his eyes and tried to summon Charcoal's silhouette in his Dantian using his soul energy. However, Charcoal was too slow to respond, and Wang Tong had no idea what to do.
Suddenly, Wang Tong thought of something and asked, "Number Two, is there any way we can get rid of these Zergs?"
This time, Wang Tong got a response. Charcoal's silhouette glowed with a golden light, and a golden ball rose into the air and entered his EMF.
"Master, you can break through from the back. I have detected that there is a natural cave ten meters away from this cave."
A golden ball with a pair of wings showed Wang Tong a big smile.
"What is going on?"
Wang Tong looked down and found that Charcoal was still motionless in his EMF. When Wang Tong called out to him, Charcoal gave him a familiar silly smile.
"Master, I am your assistant, Number Two Gold. I have sensed your first wish, to resurrect Charcoal. Right now, its autonomous intelligence program has been modified. At the same time, the first procedure after recognizing its master is to set up a weapon. Your Origin Energy cultivation will give it the power to transform and become your weapon," Number Two Gold said with a smile.
Number Two's attitude was different from Charcoal's. To be more precise, the two of them were normal after they were stripped.
Set it as a weapon? The first program?
Apparently, Wang Tong had left him a lot of wealth, but the only thing he wanted to know now was how to get out of this cave.
"Are you sure there is a way out?"
"Yes, Master. The exact thickness is 10.357 meters!"
Wang Tong, who had been sitting still all this time, suddenly stood up and shouted, "Captain, hold the front, I can find a way out!"
Everyone was cheered up by Wang Tong's words. It would take an entire squad to fill Wang Tong's gap, and everyone except Jansining was injured. If it weren't for the fact that they were veterans, they would have given up already.
Wang Tong had already arrived at the end of the tunnel. He didn't dare to blast the Zergs with his GN Force, instead, he channeled his GN Force into his long blade and started digging like crazy. Fortunately, even though the Zergs' METAL Armor was of a low level, the quality of the blade was still pretty good. After all, Wang Tong had to keep hacking at the Zergs' hard armor, and if the blade broke while he was hacking, the manufacturer of the Zergs would probably be sentenced to death.
However, the rock layer of Norton was very hard, and even Wang Tong had to spend some time digging. No one noticed that Wang Tong's pupils were golden, and his gaze was able to see through the rock layer!
The scariest part was that Wang Tong was able to cut through the rock layer at such a fast speed!
