Chapter 651 Rescue

"Lower the altitude of the spacecraft and scan the planet, paying special attention to the forests and underground." Li Mingze felt that something was wrong with the planet, but he couldn't tell.

The Nautilus gradually lowered its orbital altitude, and the scanner on the bottom of the ship began to scan the planet below the spacecraft.

Taking advantage of the gap in the scanning, Li Mingze and others went to the equipment room to change the landing equipment.

"A large number of holes appeared ten meters below the surface of this planet. Signs of life can be detected in the holes. It is initially suspected that it is the underground gathering place of the Zerg."

"The Zerg units on this planet should have moved underground to hide. I suspect that the distress signal may be a trap!" Xia Luoluo said in a deep voice.

"Are there any buildings where the distress signal is, and are there any signs of life outside the building?" Li Mingze frowned slightly and leaned over to the holographic screen to observe carefully.

"The place where the distress signal was sent is a large building buried underground. There is a layer of armor outside the building that shields biological information. We can't scan the internal structure of the building or whether there are any creatures inside." The radar operator shrugged helplessly.

"I'll go down by myself, you guys are responsible for covering me!" Li Mingze waved his hand and ordered everyone.

"Captain, you can't!" Everyone stopped him in unison.

"This is an order! It must be executed!" Li Mingze shouted coldly, turned around and walked towards the elevator of the spacecraft.

The chief and deputy gunners stayed in the bridge, and the others followed Li Mingze with guns.

When the Nautilus was suspended at a low altitude of 50 meters above the ground, the elevator door at the bottom of the spacecraft suddenly opened, and Li Mingze and others aimed their rifles at the ground.

"Captain, that barn-style building is the entrance to the underground building. We will cover you from above, and you must be fast! If all the bugs on this planet are attracted here, it will be troublesome!" Xia Luoluo shouted in Li Mingze's ear.

"Understood!" Li Mingze nodded and made an OK gesture, lowered his mask and jumped down from the elevator.

When his body was about to land on the ground, the jet behind the power armor suddenly started, allowing Li Mingze to land steadily on the top floor of the barn.

Due to the excellent stealth performance of the power armor, the bugs underground did not seem to notice Li Mingze jumping down.

Li Mingze nimbly slipped into the barn through the airtight door on the barn.

Inside the barn is a spiral staircase from the top, with a hollow space in the middle of the staircase.

At the bottom of the barn building is a circular elevator, the signal light of the elevator is still flashing green. It seems that its power supply is independent. It has been occupied for so long and there is still a power supply.

Looking around, there is nothing else except this elevator. Li Mingze stood on the elevator and pressed the button.

The elevator began to descend little by little. After not knowing how deep it descended, a heavy alloy door appeared in front of him.

The camera next to the gate moved slightly and aimed at the stunned Li Mingze.

"Who are you!" A questioning voice came from the speakers on both sides of the gate.

"I received a distress signal from here, and came here to see if there is anything I can help." Li Mingze put his rifle aside and waved his empty hands.

"How is the Federation now? Have you repelled those damn bugs?" the man shouted excitedly.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. The entire river system has been occupied by the Zerg. We are the only remaining resistance force, so can you open the door first and let me in?" Li Mingze pointed to the alloy door in front of him.

"Yes, but you can't take weapons!" The man hesitated and agreed.

In less than a minute, the heavy alloy door opened outwards, and the ground began to vibrate slightly because of the movement of the alloy door.

At this time, the bugs hiding underground outside suddenly moved their tentacles. They seemed to feel the breath of creatures in the air!

Following the direction of the smell, all the bugs turned up from the ground and moved quickly towards the barn.

"Captain, you have to hurry! The bugs have discovered your existence!"

"Nautilus is firing at full speed! Try to delay time for the captain!" Xia Luoluo looked at the black swarm of bugs on the horizon in the distance and yelled at the communicator.

The top armor of the Nautilus suddenly unfolded, and a rapid-fire cannon stretched out from the spacecraft, and a rapid-fire cannon also stretched out on both sides of the lower part of the spacecraft.

In addition, some close-in defense weapons outside the spacecraft armor were all turned on, and the laser launchers were spinning around, waiting for the enemy to approach.

"Load antimatter shells, start ballistic calculations, and all weapons are firing at full force!" With Yang Lin's roar, the three antimatter rapid-fire cannons on the spacecraft fired wildly at the surrounding insect swarms.

One by one, the shells filled with antimatter whistled around, and soon, a series of explosions began to sound around the spacecraft.

The energy released by the annihilation of antimatter and matter on the ground directly lifted off all objects within a diameter of tens of meters.

The front of the running insect swarm was directly blown to pieces by this series of attacks.

However, due to the large number of insects, although the rapid-fire cannons on the spacecraft were firing shells non-stop, the number of insects still did not decrease! And these insect swarms are slowly approaching the spacecraft!

At this time, Li Mingze also saw an old man behind the door. The old man was wearing a white coat and holding a rifle in his hand.

"I don't know who you are, but now we are surrounded by bugs. If you want to survive, follow me quickly!" Li Mingze shouted at the old man.

"Oh, wait! I still have research materials to take away. That is my life's work!" The old man originally planned to follow the elevator, but suddenly thought of something and turned around and walked into the building.

"Hurry up!" Li Mingze shouted to the old man anxiously.

At this time, above the underground fortress, the swarm of insects had approached to a distance of two thousand meters from the barn.

At this distance, the close defense weapons of the spacecraft can also attack, so the swarm's forward momentum is greatly reduced.

However, this can't delay for long. These bugs are still advancing towards the barn at a speed of nearly ten meters per second.

More than a minute later, the old man ran out of the underground fortress holding a metal box and came to the elevator.

At this time, the insects were only more than 50 meters away from the barn, and Xia Luoluo and others had already started to attack with their weapons.

And behind the insect swarm, countless Zerg scorpions began to crawl towards here, followed closely by tank beasts and two other Zerg units that had never been seen before!
