Chapter 259: Chapter 233: The Power of the Plasma Cannon! (8000, seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)

Wei Yuan’s expression immediately changed, and he reported to the command center at once, "Command, this is Patrol Team E47. We’ve detected a subterranean disturbance. Coordinates have been sent!"

As he spoke, the ground in the distance swelled up high and then collapsed, forming a massive hole over a hundred meters in diameter!

"Captain, it’s the Zerg! The Zerg have tunneled through!" Meng Xiaokang shouted.

"So several Zerg swarms are distracting us at the front while another massive Zerg army secretly tunnels underground!" The command center received the news, and Qin Peng opened the map, noting, "This area is precisely where our defenses are weakest. If the swarm breaks through here..."

"They can advance into our inland cities or cut off our supply lines, encircling our frontlines from both inside and out!"

"Deploy mobile units and fighter squadrons immediately! Annihilate them all!" he ordered, and reinforcements were dispatched from the nearby base at once.

"There must be a Nuclear Giant Beast!" He Xingzhou stood up and said, "It’s my turn to take the stage!"

He summoned Xuanwu, saying, "Activate Plasma Cannon module and Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse Array module, and proceed to the target area."

"Corresponding modules have been activated!"

At a secret base, the warehouse doors opened, and one module after another flew towards the destination.

...

"Quick, set up the Arc Array!" At the site of the hole, Wei Yuan decisively ordered his team to set up the Arc Array together.

They were patrolling with the necessary equipment, and the group quickly placed the components around the hole. An arc net covered the opening, electrocuting any insects trying to crawl out!

But initially, some insects had already emerged and started attacking them.

"Boom!" Wei Yuan had just blasted an insect when he felt a heavy blow from behind. A Predator had pounced on him, tearing open his Mecha with its sharp claws.

"Run!" At this moment, Wei Yuan couldn’t think of anything else and yelled for his teammates to retreat.

With so many insects, there was no way they could hold them back. The priority was to return to their post and escort civilians to safety.

"Captain!" The team members saw the insects closing in, with the Predator about to tear Wei Yuan apart.

At this critical moment, a laser pierced through the Predator’s brain, and hot blood dripped onto Wei Yuan.

"Xiaokang?" Wei Yuan saw Meng Xiaokang, who had fought his way through the swarm to save him.

Meng Xiaokang’s complexion was pale under his helmet, but he forced himself to stay calm.

"Go quickly!" Meng Xiaokang grabbed Wei Yuan with a capture net, activated flight mode, and dashed out of the swarm.

"We’ll cover you!" The team members behind provided cover fire, allowing them to escape.

"Run quickly!"

Behind them, the small Arc Array could no longer hold. The swarm burst through and spread in all directions!

Meng Xiaokang exclaimed in terror, "So many, can we hold them off?"

"There’s a shelter in the city with over a million civilians!" The team members were sweating profusely, "These insects will be there any minute!"

"We can’t retreat to the town!" Wei Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "The insects are closing in!"

"Head for the base!"

"Turn around!" The group turned direction and ran toward a more distant military base. The insects pursued relentlessly, increasing speed.

"Captain, I don’t want to die!" Meng Xiaokang shouted, "I haven’t even married yet!"

"I don’t want to die either!" Wei Yuan shouted, "We have no choice now. If the insects get closer, we’ll have to blow up the Mecha’s nuclear battery and go down with them!"

The team members had already steeled themselves for death.

"Do you see that?" Jai Ba’s face appeared once more on the international channel, showing footage of Wei Yuan and his team being chased by the swarm.

"Commanders of Shen Zhou, do you see? We’ve reached your heartland! People who defy the Lord of Destruction will end up like them, with no place to be buried!"

Jai Ba’s previous intimidation hadn’t succeeded, and he reappeared.

"It’s that traitor again!" Some people watching the international channel recognized the footage.

"How did they get to the rear?"

"Run!" The civilians began to worry about the squad.

Behind them, the insects closed the distance, one mile, three hundred meters, one hundred meters. Meng Xiaokang, carrying Wei Yuan, was slower and about to be overtaken!

"Eat him!" Jai Ba grinned maliciously.

The insects lunged just as a laser shot down from the sky, precisely hitting the insect and killing it instantly!

The fighter squadrons and flying Mecha had arrived. In the footage, there were thousands of planes and tens of thousands of flying Mechas descending.

Electromagnetic guns, laser beams, and missiles were fired densely into the swarm, blocking their advance.

Additionally, a multitude of modular laser arrays and Arc Arrays landed, decimating large swathes of the swarm!

Seeing this scene, the civilians cheered: "Great hit!"

"Wonderful, they escaped!"

"Capture that Jai Ba!"

"Still acting tough?"

"We’ll smash your head open!"

Jai Ba, seeing his pursuit fail, was furious and yelled, "You think you can stop us with just this? Let me show you what the Lord of Destruction really is!"

As he spoke, a massive, multi-legged maggot emerged from the hole.

It appeared and immediately sprayed acid in all directions, taking down numerous planes and flying Mechas!

Jai Ba boasted gleefully, "Watch and feel the fear!"

"It’s a Nuclear Giant Beast, a multi-legged worm!" Recognizing it, the crowd was somewhat panicked, "Wasn’t there one on the front line? Why is there another here?"
