Chapter 327 The battle begins
Soon, a message appeared on their brains, announcing that the Zerg were about to descend upon the city, and that all those willing to join the battle were urged to proceed to the city gates. This message, like a battle horn, instantly shattered the already somewhat dull atmosphere.
"Let's go!" Nangong Jingming took the lead and said, his eyes revealing determination and courage. Then he led his men and strode out directly. His steps were firm and powerful, as if declaring their determination to the impending insect swarm.
When they arrived at the city gate, it was already bustling with activity. Mechas of all types were neatly arranged, and the soldiers were all in high spirits, ready for battle.
"Captain Nangong, please follow me here!" Liu Shaojie had been waiting for them anxiously at the door. As soon as he saw them appear, he immediately pushed through the crowd and walked quickly towards Nangong Jingming with a warm smile on his face.
"Okay." Nangong Jingming saw him and understood in his heart that this was an arrangement for them. After all, they were not very familiar with the situation here, so it would be better to listen to the other party's arrangements first.
"We, the Navy SEALs, will be assigned here to guard and prevent the Zerg from breaking through the defense line here. You will be arranged next to us." Liu Shaojie took them to a designated location and explained in detail. While speaking, he pointed to the surrounding area to let Nangong Jingming and others know their own defense range.
"Okay, I understand! Thank you for bringing us here." Nangong Jingming thanked him politely with a sincere smile on his face, expressing his gratitude for Liu Shaojie's help.
"Don't be polite with me. There might be chaos when a fight starts. You should pay more attention to your own safety. There are also Zerg corpses in your area. They belong to you." Liu Shaojie kindly reminded, his eyes revealing his concern for Nangong Jingming and the others, and at the same time he once again emphasized the rules for the distribution of spoils.
"Okay, we get it." Nangong Jingming understood what he meant. In other words, now in their area, as long as the corpses were with them, they would be their spoils of war. No matter how many there were, they would be theirs. For them, this was not only an incentive, but also a recognition of their strength.
Not long after Nangong Jingming and his companions arrived, they heard a buzzing sound in the distance, like the whispers of death. Then, a group of Zerg rushed towards them like a black tide.
"It's coming! Everyone, get on your mechs!" Nangong Jingming saw the Zerg appearing ahead, the dense swarm pressing in like a dark cloud. He immediately shouted, his voice firm and powerful, resonating through the air like a bell. He quickly activated his mechs, ready for the fierce battle. Upon hearing the command, the team members boarded their mechs as quickly as possible, preparing for battle. A fierce battle was about to break out.
Just as they all quickly and methodically boarded their mechas, the distant sky seemed obscured by a dark cloud. A vast, black mass of Zerg, like a surging black tide, rushed madly towards them with overwhelming force. The scene was like the end of the world. The Zerg's numbers were beyond imagination, packed together so densely that there was almost no end in sight. They rushed forward with their claws and fangs bared. Wherever they passed, the ground seemed to tremble and raise clouds of dust. It was truly shocking, and an atmosphere of fear instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.
Soon, a fierce battle began. Su Siyi was completely absorbed in operating her mech, her eyes revealing determination and courage. Her hands danced swiftly across the console, precisely directing the mech's every move, engaging in a desperate struggle with the Zerg.
While these Zerg don't possess any particularly unique abilities, they do possess distinct characteristics. Some are incredibly agile, darting across the battlefield like lightning, making them difficult to capture. Others possess incredible strength, each attack packing a powerful punch that can easily damage mechas. Still others are as swift as the wind, able to cover vast distances in an instant and launch unexpected attacks. In short, these Zerg cannot be underestimated. Interstellar has long been engaged in an arduous struggle against these tenacious and difficult Zerg.
"Everyone should take turns to rest and don't fight all the time." Nangong Jingming's steady and powerful voice was transmitted to the ears of every team member through the communication channel. He was well aware of the duration of this battle. The physical strength of the team members was the key and must be reasonably distributed in order to persist in this protracted battle.
"Everyone start taking turns to fight, so that you won't be too tired." Feng Bolin immediately agreed to Nangong Jingming's proposal. His eyes revealed calmness and wisdom. He quickly began to make detailed work assignments. According to the characteristics and status of each team member, he arranged the order of rest and fighting in an orderly manner to ensure that the rhythm of the battle could be stable and sustained.
What Nangong Jingming is most concerned about is Su Siyi's safety. After all, her importance in the team is self-evident, so the specific deployment of the ten teammates is the responsibility of Feng Bolin, while matters concerning the overall strategic direction and major decisions are still controlled and decided by Nangong Jingming. He always pays attention to the situation on the battlefield, and has a keen insight into the movements of the Zerg and the status of the team, so as to make correct judgments and commands at critical moments.
For three full hours, everyone piloted their mechs and fought the Zerg furiously. The intense fighting left everyone feeling deeply exhausted. The mechs' prolonged operation, the constant consumption of energy, and the intense mental strain all contributed to this constant fatigue, a normal physiological response to such intense combat.
"Everyone, listen up! Two people will take a break and eat. They'll take over after an hour." Nangong Jingming watched as the Zerg continued to pour in like a tide, showing no sign of stopping. He couldn't help but feel a surge of worry, puzzled by the sudden appearance of so many Zerg. But he knew he had to remain calm and properly manage the team's rest and combat time to ensure the team's continued combat effectiveness.
"Boss, there are more and more Zergs. Can we use laser cannons?" Ye Xuexin asked over the communication channel with a hint of urgency and excitement. He looked at the increasingly dense Zerg before him, knowing the severity of the situation. He thought the powerful laser cannons might be able to temporarily relieve the pressure of the Zerg's frenzied attack.
