"Buzz — —"
The deafening sound echoed throughout the corridors. Every aircraft was filled with red flashing lights. The Voidfolk walked back and forth in the aircraft in a panic. At the same time, the machines that were digging outside were also retreating back to the base they had built.
"Too many … Why are there so many creatures?"
In the control room, the Voidfolk looked at the display in front of them in surprise. They saw countless creatures swarming towards them. At the same time, the voice of the announcement echoed throughout the ship.
"Attention, this is the captain! Just now, we discovered a large group of creatures approaching us. These creatures look like multi-jointed creatures. These creatures are ferocious and could be the culprit that destroyed the scouting boats. After discussion by our biological experts, they believe that this area should be their territory! "
"Why weren't there any reports of these creatures before!"
"This could just be a large-scale migration phenomenon. They are not targeting us! Hide everything in the ship and wait for them to pass! "
"What if they are targeting us?"
"Have you seen so many different types of creatures migrating together? Look at their composition. There are similar creatures in our mother ball, but they are much smaller! "
"The exploration team has been attacked and destroyed! We have to blow them all up! "
"It's not surprising that they would attack the exploration team in front of them. It's better to evacuate first. We'll be fine if we fly higher."
The Voidfolk in the control room discussed in a panic. They only stopped when another voice resounded throughout the ship.
"These creatures may be dissatisfied with our digging behavior. They think that we are invading their territory, so they are attacking us. Although the experts believe that we will be fine as long as we leave, we have to protect this resource point. We have to tell these creatures that we are the true masters of this land! Commander. Blow them all up! "
A Voidfolk in the control room said, "You all heard what the captain said. Prepare the 'Demon Head' warheads and launch a full-range attack on those creatures!"
"Yes!" A few Voidfolk in charge of the operation quickly got into action. But after a few seconds, their movements stopped. A Voidfolk shouted in horror, "Commander … Commander!"
The commander said angrily, "What's wrong? Hurry up and fire. They are about to reach the danger zone! "
"Commander! The Global Observer has lost its signal! He might have been attacked! Also, the ship's scanning system has been affected by a strange interference … We can't aim now! "
The commander also saw the strange interference on the map display. He said in surprise, "What? Was this done by … those creatures? No, that's impossible. "
"They are getting closer and closer!" another Voider said: "Commander, we need to give the order!"
"…" The commander hesitated for a moment. His originally nervous emotions quickly calmed down. Then, it said, "Don't worry, this group should be just ordinary animals. Let's carry out the detection first. Send out the fifth 'attacker' unit!"
"Understood!" Under the command of the commander, a total of five square doors opened at the top of the two large aircrafts of the Voidpeople. At the same time, five objects with metal wings slowly rose from within. Then, accompanied by a loud explosion, they instantly charged into the distant blue sky.
"Target found. You can fire." Inside these flying machines, which were called 'hitters', the Voidfolk who were in charge of piloting them were communicating.
"The signal here doesn't seem very clear." A Voidfolk adjusted the control panel in front of him and said: "Could it be that those strange creatures have some kind of interference ability?"
The commander's voice came from the pilot's helmet: "It should have nothing to do with those creatures. Maybe it's a problem with the environment. Just pay attention and maintain communication."
"Target found!" The pilot suddenly noticed a large black shadow on the distant sand: "The target is moving towards the north at a certain speed. It will reach the excavation site in about 3600 seconds. Give the order."
"Bombard them directly." The commander said: "If they are ordinary wild animals, they should be frightened. Then, avoid this direction.
"Understood. Carry out separate attacks and disperse the target."
The five hitters slowed down in the air and spread out in different directions. They aimed their weapons at different locations of the swarm.
'Boom —!'
But before the attack, a roar first spread through their auditory organs.
"This is …" All the pilots around could see that one of the hitters fell from the sky with smoke coming out of it. It crashed into the desert and kicked up a lot of dust.
"What's going on!" The commander in the control room also heard this sound. He quickly asked: "What was that sound just now?"
"Hitman No.4 … has crashed!" The commander first heard a scream, and then it was followed by intermittent voices.
"Ah! What is that! "" There's a red thing that's flying very fast! It's chasing us! "" It's light, it can emit light … Ah —! "
'Boom!' And all the voices. In the end, it all ended with an explosion. Out of the five hitters, not a single one was left.
"… Those things are not ordinary wild animals!" The commander shouted in horror: "Hurry up and retreat! Fly above the atmosphere, hurry up! "
"Don't retreat!" At this time, the commander's voice came again: "Defend here directly. Have all combat personnel in position! Use your eyes to aim at those creatures and shoot directly! "
"But …" Just as the commander was about to speak, the commander immediately said: "No buts, they just accidentally destroyed some flying machines. Hurry up and get ready!"
"… All personnel, prepare for battle! Ascend to battle position! "
Under the command of the captain, the commander had no choice but to issue a direct order. The two huge aircraft began to slowly rise from the ground. At the bottom of the aircraft, countless weapons were unfolded on the sides. They rose until they were nearly a kilometer in the air before stopping.
Because the 'scanning function' was interfered with, they directly used a device that used their eyes to observe from a distance.
A Voidfolk in charge of the operation said: "The target's speed is much faster than what the hitters reported just now. They're approaching the firing range …"
"Very good." The commander said: "Wait until they enter the firing range, then open fire."
At the same time, in the control room, he was also watching the battle through a three-dimensional image. At the same time, he whispered: "If we retreat because of a group of animals, then I won't be able to stay in this position anymore …"
"The target has entered the firing range! They're flying towards us! " The loud voice from the image suddenly startled the commander. The huge group of creatures that were originally flying at a low altitude suddenly changed direction and flew upwards, rushing towards the location of the two spaceships.
"Open fire!" At the same time, the commander's roar rang out: "Wipe them out completely!"
All the weapons around the Voidfolk's flying machines suddenly exploded at this moment. Countless flashing red metal bullets were like dense sparks flying towards the swarm of insects. A large number of insects were instantly torn apart by these bullets. Their blood and remains scattered like rain, instantly dyeing the ground with a layer of strange color.
In order to deal with the army of constructs, most of the insects' outer shells were equipped with the ability to resist high heat. However, they had almost no resistance against the high-speed and small metal bullets.
On the flying machines of the Voidfolk, the cylindrical weapons madly poured out all the bullets. The two spaceships simultaneously retreated in different directions, using a method of retreating and attacking at the same time, continuously sweeping the swarm of insects.
Because the insects' speed could not catch up with the flying machines of the Voidfolk, it was currently relatively easy.
"These creatures don't care about death at all!" The commander in the control room looked at the groups of creatures that were constantly being turned into fragments under the rain of bullets. Even so, they did not have any intention of escaping or retreating. They were still madly rushing towards them.
However, they were not just sending themselves to their deaths …
Some bright red insects rushed out from the swarm of insects at an abnormal speed. They approached the ship's hull as the rain of bullets swept through the surrounding insects …
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the entire flying machine shook violently. The commander in the control room quickly shouted, "What happened?"
"The deck of Zone 1 is damaged!" The operator said. A red area appeared on the left side of the ship's hull on the display screen. "This could be the team that shot down the attackers just now …"
"Boom!" The roar was heard again. A red area appeared on another part of the ship's hull. This time, it was obviously much larger than before.
However, this time, the observation device around the ship's hull saw the cause of the explosion. In the recorded video, some red high-speed objects could be seen rushing out from the swarm of insects and colliding with the ship's hull.
The area that was hit by them seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and large cracks appeared on the ship's hull.
"These things …" The commander said, "Those red creatures hide in the swarm and take the opportunity to attack. The large swarm around them is just their cover. Speed up and retreat, shake off the large swarm of creatures and lure them out alone …"
The operator suddenly shouted, "Commander! We've been hooked! "
"What do you mean by hooked?" The moment the commander asked this question, the entire ship shook violently again. It seemed to have stopped in the air and could no longer retreat.
"This is …" The commander saw that, without knowing when, some large red metal chains had appeared on one side of the ship's hull. They were tightly hooked to any gaps in the ship's hull, and the other end extended all the way into the swarm of insects.
