Chapter 1058: What I Shouldn't Eat
"commander!"
At the critical moment, Anvil dodged sideways, and the Zerg's bone blade scraped past his shoulder armor, splashing a string of sparks.
He pulled out the dagger with his backhand, stabbed it hard into the Zerg's compound eye, and then kicked it away.
"Keep suppressing fire! Don't let them get close!"
More and more Zerg entered the Star Destroyer, gradually found the rhythm of attack, and then began to try to evolve a shell that could defend against blaster weapons.
On the contrary, the clones could only resist hard. The commander of the Zerg, Queen Norn, had found the rhythm of attack. Groups of biological warships began to besiege the combat robot fleet and at the same time concentrated their superior firepower to encircle and kill the star destroyers.
The number of insects was so terrifying that the combat robots were defeated after only holding out for a while.
The wreckage of countless battle robots was broken down into biomass and then transformed into more killing machines.
During this period, the fleet has been looking for a way to break the deadlock. The Zerg's attack speed is getting faster and faster, and the number is increasing. Star Destroyers are being destroyed one after another. The huge biological warships swallowed the wreckage of the Star Destroyers and frigates into themselves, and then decomposed them into biomass.
The bridge of the Punisher is the core of the entire battleship. Once it is lost, the entire Star Destroyer will fall completely. Clone Commander Burnell has built the last line of defense here.
"All personnel who can still fight, reinforce the bridge immediately!" Bernell's voice echoed in the ship-wide broadcast.
Anvil's team finally reached the perimeter of the bridge, but the Zerg were already close behind them.
At the end of the corridor, a black swarm of insects was rushing in madly, and their roars were like the death knell of hell.
"Prepare for impact!" Bernell raised his blaster and said with a cold look.
The clone troopers formed a tight firing array, with blasters, heavy blasters, and even flamethrowers all aimed at the corridor.
"Fire!"
In an instant, blazing energy beams, burning flames, and exploding grenades formed a devastating firepower network in the narrow cabin aisle, and the Zerg rushing in the front were torn into pieces in an instant.
However, they still continued to advance, stepping on the corpses of their own kind.
A warrior bug rushed to the defense line under fire, and with a swing of its bone blade, two clone soldiers were killed on the spot.
Burnell calmly turned around, pulled out his blaster pistol, fired several shots at its head, and finally killed it.
But more Zerg are still approaching...
The battleship was clearly unable to hold on any longer. Just as the defense line was about to collapse, Captain Coles' voice came from the communicator:
"Attention all personnel, this ship has been heavily infiltrated by Zerg and cannot be recaptured. I repeat, it cannot be recaptured."
Burnell's heart sank, and he knew exactly what to do next.
"Captain, what are your orders?"
After a brief silence, Coles' voice was calm and decisive:
"Initiate self-destruct protocol and request orbital bombardment."
Burnell took a deep breath and looked at Anvil and the other survivors.
"Did you hear that? Move! Soldiers!"
"Show the Swarm our power! For the Empire!"
"Stand firm to your post! Until the last moment!"
Many clone soldiers gripped their weapons tightly and watched the dense swarms of insects approaching them.
A few minutes later
Another Star Destroyer learned the news and decisively terminated support for another battlefield.
Dozens of heavy turbolaser cannons fired simultaneously, and blazing energy beams descended like divine punishment, turning the Punisher and the Zerg invaders inside it into burning wreckage in space.
The boarding battle ended at a tragic cost, but the Tyranids' attack did not stop.
Major Corell's X-wing fighter drew a scorching trail through the swarm.
His R5 robot emitted a piercing alarm, and the holographic display screen showed seventeen biological fighter lock signals.
The laser barrel on the left side of the wing had overheated and turned red, and the heat sink on the right side was sizzling from being corroded by acid.
"Razor One, you are surrounded! Evacuate immediately!" A series of hoarse shouts came from the communication channel.
"Trying to disengage..." Corell's voice suddenly stopped.
A biological battleship shaped like the mouthparts of a giant ray suddenly rushed out from below. Its unfolded fleshy membrane wings were a kilometer wide, and its surface was covered with wriggling tentacles and vesicles that spewed acid.
The giant beast opened its abyss-like mouth and swallowed Corell's fighter plane directly into it.
The darkness swallowed everything in an instant.
When Corell regained consciousness, his fighter was stuck in some kind of sticky organic pipe.
The scene outside the cockpit canopy was disgusting. The dark red fleshy walls were covered with throbbing blood vessels, green fluorescent mucus was slowly flowing along the canopy glass, and the air was filled with a pungent acidic smell.
The R5 robot emitted intermittent beeps, and the holographic screen showed that the fighter's hull was corroding at a rate of 0.3 mm per minute.
";Activate the emergency lighting, damn it! Help! Asshole!.";
Corell tapped the restart button. As the cold blue light came on, he saw countless egg-shaped objects wriggling deep in the pipe ahead, each the size of an adult human, and curled up warrior worms could be vaguely seen under the translucent membrane.
Suddenly, the entire chamber contracted violently and the fighter was pushed deeper.
Through the gradually corroded cockpit cover, Corell saw a sight he would never forget: a giant hatching chamber with a diameter of more than 500 meters. Tens of thousands of insect eggs were attached to the flesh wall like larvae hanging in a beehive.
Some kind of brain-like organ was suspended in the center of the chamber, with veins of bio-electric light flashing on its surface, transporting energy to every corner.
";The Emperor is above...";
Jack trembled as he turned on the weapon system, only to find that the proton torpedo tube was stuck in the fleshy pipe.
The R5 robot suddenly issued a series of sharp alarms, and biological scans showed that hundreds of life signs were awakening.
"This isn't a good fuck..."
The sticky sound of the first egg bursting made Corell shiver all over.
The newly born knife worm tore open the fetal membrane, and the wet bone blade directly chopped the wing of the X-wing, splashing a string of sparks.
These nascent killing machines apparently mistook the fighters for invaders.
";Start the engines!";
Corell pushed the throttle hard, and the tail flame of the fighter plane burned the two knifeworms into charcoal.
But more knife worms and warrior worms were pouring out of the flesh walls on all sides, their sharp limbs scraping against the metal shells, making teeth-grinding sounds.
R5 suddenly projected a holographic image - thirty meters behind the fighter, the fleshy pipe began to shrink due to the high temperature of the engine, revealing the encased proton torpedo compartment.
The robot spelled out a message in binary code: [Detonation program available]
