Chapter 104 Starship Troopers World, Space Insects
At this time, the battle was still ongoing at Dock B of Case Outpost.
"Makek, rescue operation complete, prepare for bombing."
"Yes, sir."
"Sage and Xiao Zhou will provide cover, Big Guy and Claysa will stay here, the rest of you come with me, we're going on a rescue mission."
At the captain's roar, all team members immediately sprang into action.
"Da da da!"
As the fire continued, the rescue team advanced layer by layer, heading deeper into the passage.
"Captain Dorti, how's the situation on your end?"
At this moment, a cruiser slowly approached the outpost, and the bridge on the warship also called for help from the scene.
"There are too many space bugs. We have no way to get back to Case Outpost. We will hold out until the John Warden is evacuated."
"The Elesa will stand by for evacuation and will contact me at any time."
"Roger that, Maker. How much longer?"
"Almost done, sir."
"
"Bang!"
As a bomb was planted, the countdown timer showed only 8 minutes remaining.
The battle continued when a Zergling charged forward, its mandibles piercing through a Marine.
Upon seeing this, the captain immediately killed the alien insect and ordered the medic to come forward and treat it.
As the firepower continued, the Marines continued to advance deeper into the corridor.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in a corridor inside the outpost, Captain Carmen of the USS John Warden strode over.
"What on earth is going on, Karl?"
"It's so nice to see you again, Carmen."
"You've taken over my ship."
"I'm just borrowing it for a bit, I'll return it to you."
"You won't get the John Warden out of my hands."
"Guards, Captain Carmen needs to be escorted to the Elessa."
At Karl's command, two guards stepped forward, ready to carry Carmen aboard the Elessa.
This situation made Carmen very angry, and she immediately ran away.
"What do you want to do to my ship?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Carmen, that's classified, but I can tell you, this mission is about to bring about significant changes."
Upon hearing this, Carmen realized that she wouldn't be able to get any detailed information.
"You've always been a big jerk."
"I've always liked you too, Carmen. See you on Earth."
"Oh, by the way, we're still friends, right?"
After saying that, Karl grinned crookedly and left.
Seeing this, Carmen could only leave angrily.
Karl was of a higher rank than her, and she had no way to disobey orders from his superiors.
On the other side, the Marines in Squad A immediately began reloading after the last Zergling was killed.
"Squad Leader A reports to Case Outpost to begin evacuation."
"God, we can finally evacuate."
"It's a bit crowded here, evacuate quickly, location B dock."
"We're here."
"Hurry up. Just because there's no movement now doesn't mean there isn't one behind. This place can't hold out for long."
Soon, everyone heard footsteps.
"Attention everyone, friendly forces are approaching. Be alert and don't panic. I don't want anyone to be accidentally injured."
After giving the order, the captain quickly stepped forward and saw the people who needed rescue.
"Who's in charge here?"
"Acting Captain, Major Henry Farrow has been relieved of his post."
"Resigned? What happened?"
"You can't imagine what a suicidal mission this was."
"Shut up, you idiot. Trying to be a hero?"
Hearing this, the captain understood that there was probably something going on, but this was not the place to talk.
"Mission accomplished, prepare for evacuation. Maker, how's the bomb preparation?"
"Ready to go."
Upon hearing this, the captain led the other marines to the shuttle, preparing to evacuate.
However, before they could even board the shuttle, they saw the John Warden detach from its berth and leave the area.
"Thanks for waiting for us, you bastard, sir. Please let us know immediately if there are any new developments. Should we escort the John Warden or not?"
Just then, more swarms of insects appeared, surrounding the group from all sides, and the shuttle used for landing was quickly overwhelmed by the swarms.
"Captain Jonathan, this is Team A. The landing ship has been destroyed, and we must board it directly."
"Understood. The Elessa will take off as soon as you board."
"Triangular formation, retreat and land on the Elessa."
As everyone quickly retreated, they soon arrived at the evacuation corridor.
After the isolation door closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next moment, the glass next to the evacuation corridor was broken, and the swarm of insects rushed in. Several Marines were tackled and the defense line was in grave danger.
"Bang!"
Just then, a loud gunshot rang out, and an alien insect was instantly killed. Only then did everyone realize that a sniper was providing support to them in the distance.
"Return the warships!"
As soon as the captain gave the order, everyone immediately and quickly retreated.
The Marines who were sniping were still counting their kills when, a moment later, an urgent voice came through the channel.
"Twiggy, hurry up, we're about to set sail."
Upon hearing the sound and looking at the approaching alien insects not far away, he immediately put away his gun and ran towards the warship.
At the last moment, Twiggy successfully boarded the Elessa, and the warship took off successfully.
As the warship sailed away, everyone watched Meck.
"Your turn, Master!"
"3, 2, 1, B00M!"
'
"boom!"
With the explosion of the bomb, Case Outpost was completely destroyed.
Everyone cheered at the sight.
The mission was over, and all the Marines returned to the lower deck area to rest.
Meanwhile, not far from Case Outpost, in a location in outer space, a fleet was in stealth mode.
"Ethan, how's it going? Have you gotten the assessment results yet?"
"Commander, the assessment has been completed. Our current ground armor is insufficient to withstand the Zerg attack."
"As expected, these Zerg are indeed very powerful."
"Commander, the good news is that our weapons are very effective against the Zerg. Our newly deployed individual weapons, whether energy or kinetic, can inflict tremendous damage on these swarms."
"Okay, that's good. By the way, have you collected everything?"
"The collection is complete. The corpses of these space bugs have been sent to the biological laboratory for research. The armor and weapons of the Marine Corps are also being studied in the laboratory."
Preliminary research results indicate that the enemy's Marine Corps armor is thinner than ours, offering limited protection and allowing Marines more freedom of movement in space.
In terms of weaponry, their kinetic energy nail guns are only twice as powerful as traditional gunpowder weapons, while our kinetic energy weapons are at least ten times more powerful.
"Not bad. It's already very good that you were able to analyze so much in such a short time. Let's go. Order the fleet to follow. That enemy battleship is very valuable for research. After they rendezvous, we will also show ourselves and surround them."
"Yes, Commander."
"In addition, we should analyze the Zerg swarm here as soon as possible. This world is a very valuable place for us. It not only has complete Level 2 civilization technology, but also the Space Zerg swarm. If we can study it thoroughly, it should be of great help to our Zerg swarm upgrade."
Oh, and that paranormal research center, Carl's research, is also very important.
"Commander, the technologies we need to acquire have all been listed. We will collect them according to the data on the list."
"Yes, this time, we can't miss this opportunity."
On the other side, aboard the Elessa, Carmen also arrived at the bridge.
"The captain has arrived!"
"I'm stepping down. This is your ship, not mine."
"By the way, is there any new news?"
"about?"
"Where is my boat? And why does Jenkins want it so much?"
"Captain, trust me, if we can get any information..."
"Is this ship chasing the USS John Warden?"
At that moment, a male officer walked in.
"I understand your concerns about the John Warden, Captain Ebonas, but this is the Elesa, and we are the ones giving orders."
"My orders are to return to Earth."
"Then show me the John Warden's route data, where it went."
"We don't know either; we lost his signal shortly after we started tracking him."
"Yes, notify me immediately if you spot the John Warden."
"Yes, Captain."
Unable to get any news, Carmen could only leave the bridge. She now desperately wanted to slap Karl in the face.
However, not long after, new information emerged.
She was taking a shower when she heard the alarm on the warship. She quickly dried herself off, put on her clothes, and went to the conference room.
Inside the meeting room, the attendees had already arrived, and the video call was immediately connected, with Johnny Rick's face appearing on the screen.
"brush!"
Everyone stood up and saluted.
"At ease."
Once everyone was seated, Johnny Rick began to speak.
"First of all, I know that the crew of the Elessa and the soldiers who protected the Keys outpost made great sacrifices and contributions, as well as suffered the pain of losing teammates."
Secondly, I know everyone wants to rest, and I've been through that too. However, there's an urgent mission right now. The John Warden hasn't responded, and the Elessa is the only starship that has made contact with it recently. I need you to find it and investigate. Any other questions?
"Yes, I want to speak up for the team at Case Outpost."
"Shut up, you idiot."
A friend quietly scolded him and told him to sit down.
"No problem, go ahead."
Johnny Rick simply told him to say it.
"We will only set off if a hero leads the team."
"hero?"
Then, their captain explained Henry Farrow's situation to Rick.
"Alright, if Henry Farlow is willing, and your motor infantry regiment is willing to accept his command, then he can participate in this battle. But remember, this will not affect his trial."
71
"Any other questions?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Johnny Rick then dismissed them.
