In the following period, students arrived at the base one after another. Although most of the students were scarred and seriously injured, most of them did not die in battle because they broke through in time.
It is worth mentioning that the signs of Zerg activities have become more and more obvious in recent days. The most recent time, a flying bug for reconnaissance even came within the shooting range of the outermost fortress of Base 3. Although it was shot and killed, It also proves that the scope of the Zerg invasion has further expanded.
In response, Base Three frequently sent soldiers to fight the Zerg, and small-scale battles occurred every day.
On this day, Alex got the small combat vehicle that had just been repaired and came to a building in the center of the base.
There are people coming and going in the building, most of them are students taking the assessment this time. This will be their main place for nearly a year.
"I'm glad you're still alive." In the mission hall, Joanna leaned against the metal wall and said lightly.
Alex smiled slightly and said, "You're late."
"I heard, you were the first to arrive at the base." Joanna straightened up, walked to Alex, and stretched out a white palm, "How about, do you want to form a team? With your With our strength, we can take on some missions with more meritorious deeds.”
Alex pondered for a moment and finally declined: "Sorry, I'm still used to acting alone."
Joanna frowned and asked: "Have you thought about it? No matter how strong you are alone, it will be extremely difficult to escape when encountering a large Zerg army. What's more, you have also seen the abilities of high-level Zerg."
"Thank you. If we need to form a team, I will consider you."
Seeing this, Joanna took a deep look at Alex and said, "You are still so independent and independent. I hope I won't hear the news of your death." After that, she turned around and left, the ponytail behind her head jumping like a flame.
After sending Joanna away, Alex came to the big screen. Various mission information was densely arranged on the screen, ranging from destroying Zerg nests to reconnaissance missions. The merit points obtained accordingly varied according to the difficulty of the mission.
Because the assessment students are not affiliated with the federal military, theoretically the base commander has no right to assign them. A compromise method is to release mission information and let these assessors who are not soldiers choose to complete it. This can relieve the offensive pressure of the Zerg and gain merit points on the other. , both sides get what they need.
"Your Highness Xiulize, this is a good mission. Kill a fire insect nest in the dense forest in the east of the base. Eliminate the insect's own value and reward you with an additional 500 points of merit." At this time, a rough voice suddenly sounded in my ears. .
Alex followed the sound and saw that there were five men standing in front of the screen one step ahead of him. The leader was His Royal Highness Prince Shulitzer of Eastland, and the other four included the axe-wielding warrior that day. Han and the young man with two swords, there are two more familiar ones, one is holding a silver laser gun, and the other is carrying a heavy rocket launcher.
Xiulize looked at it, nodded slightly, and operated his fingers on the wrist terminal a few times. The task information on the screen turned gray, indicating that someone had accepted the task.
Shulitzer led the team away. When he saw Alex, he paused and nodded politely. He was still deeply impressed by Alex, the person who took the lead in the breakout.
Alex nodded in return.
The two sides passed each other.
After the other five people left, Alex stood quietly in front of the big screen for a moment. After a while, he made a few operations on the terminal, walked out of the hall, put on the steel armor and flew into the air just outside the hall.
Alex flew along the hilly area to the west for several hours, cleaning up a few lone Zerg along the way. When he arrived at the location marked by the mission, he heard the unique neighing sound of the Zerg in front of him. He suddenly felt refreshed and rushed over. .
On the yellow-brown ground beneath our feet, a dozen flying insects were swooping on a fat, white and huge sandworm, gnawing at it quickly.
Sandworm is a native species of the fourth planet. It looks like a giant white silkworm. It usually hides underground and makes a living by devouring sand and gravel. It can grow up to ten meters in length. However, it has low intelligence, delicious meat and rich nutrition. It is the most popular insect species. One of my favorite food sources.

Upon discovering the uninvited guests, a dozen flying insects pulled out their mouthparts from the sandworms, and the wings behind them vibrated rapidly, turning into a stream of sharp arrows and shooting towards Alex.
Alex moved forward instead of retreating, like a fish swimming among flying insects. The laser cannon in his hand fired, and lightning balls shot at the surrounding flying insects.
After the flying insect hissed, it immediately opened its mouth and spit out a ball of acid, trying to resist Alex's electric ball.
The two collided in the air, and the electric ball made a "sizzling" sound, and instantly penetrated a large hole in the center of the acid liquid. It continued to cast out, and hit the flying insect hard, turning it into coke.
One after another, blackened flying insects fell from the sky, and there was a pungent smell in the air.
Ten minutes later, Alex burned the flying insect nest to ashes and left the place.
…
Seven days later, one side of an khaki mountain wall tens of meters high in the northwest of Base No. 3 was densely covered with leaking holes. In the holes, black-shelled and hard-armored Zerg could be seen slowly squirming. "Sissuosuo" sound.
This is also a nest of zerg. Although it is only a low-level type of war bug, there are more than 500 of them, which can be regarded as a medium-sized nest.
At this time, a whistling sound that seemed to pierce the air suddenly came from the distance, and a silver death dragging bright yellow fireworks rushed straight into the largest hole in the center of the mountain wall.
"Boom!" The next moment, a deafening explosion sounded. The Sidewinder missile equipped with a micro-nuclear warhead instantly exploded with a massive amount of energy. Large swaths of insects were directly charred, and the powerful shock wave that followed instantly destroyed half of the mountain wall. , a small mushroom cloud slowly rose.
"Boom!" This was like poking a hornet's nest. Soon after, the war bugs who had survived the explosion or whose legs were not blown off rushed out of the cave crazily, forming a dark line and charging towards the attackers.
On the mountain peak, Alex slowly pulled out the high-frequency tactical knife and the gold-titanium alloy dagger, and charged in the opposite direction into the swarm of insects.
Most of these zerg are low-level war bugs. Occasionally, there are a few sword-footed bugs and flying bugs among them. Once they form a large scale, they will naturally avoid it. However, the nest was blown up by Alex's sidewinder missile, and the number of them was reduced. Directly reducing the number by half, even if he survived, he would still be scarred. Naturally, he was not a well-prepared opponent for Alex.
A few hours later, a figure covered in yellow-green bodily fluids rushed out of Chonghai and flew straight in one direction. Behind him were layers of Zerg debris piled up into a hill.
…
A month later, Alex was lying in a patch of gravel, closing his pores, silently running his psychic energy, and reducing his vital signs to the minimum.
The small combat mecha is also completely in standby mode, with only the display screen in front of the internal hood projecting the scene from the outside world.
On the Gobi Desert a hundred meters ahead, the ground was suddenly recessed, and below was a deep ravine that stretched for several miles.
This ravine is at least fifty meters wide, and the mountain walls on both sides are covered with the Zerg's unique dark green carpet, with Zerg constantly crawling in and out. At the bottom of the ravine, cysts the size of footballs were displayed, flashing a faint blue light.
This is a plasma worm nest, and the cysts at the bottom are the plasma worms that are about to hatch. Alex happened to pass by here a few days ago and discovered this place.
Under the lairs of high-level troops like this, there are usually psionic crystals. Although the number is not too many, it is an opportunity that is rare but not available.
However, in the col on the surface of the rock ravine, there were two huge Zerg bugs that looked like tank bugs. They were flashing their wings and neighing like babies crying towards the sky. They were two adult plasma bugs.
The two plasma bugs were surrounded by dozens of bubble-shaped compound eyes, streamlined bodies, spikes growing near the head and spine, and guarded by saberpods with sickle-shaped sharp legs.
On the battlefield, the blade-footed insect's legs can easily tear apart the shell of an armored vehicle. Its jumping ability and movement speed are equally astonishing. Combined with the precise long-range plasma attack of the plasma insect, it is the most terrifying battlefield killer.
Alex has been lurking in this Gobi Desert for three days. The place is heavily guarded. If Alex wants to destroy this nest, he still needs to spend a lot of preparations.
Moreover, the two sentries are separated by hundreds of meters and are within the attack range of the plasma bugs. If Alex attacks any plasma bug, he is bound to be attacked by the other one, which will spray plasma with the plasma bug. At such a speed, it will definitely become a movable target.
Because of such concerns, Alex kept looking for good opportunities to attack. However, as time passed, Alex began to slowly lose both physical strength and energy. With a sigh, he was about to give up the attack and prepare to evacuate.
At this moment, an astonishing fire suddenly lit up in the distant sky, and the sound of explosions was heard in the distance along with the roar of the Zerg.
The movement immediately caused a commotion inside the insect nest. The two plasma worms merged together and stretched out the two long tentacles next to their mouthparts. They were in contact with each other and entwined. The tentacles emitted a flickering blue light, which seemed to be in the air. Have some kind of communication.
Alex's expression changed slightly, and his body that was about to move fell down again, waiting for the situation to change.
The two plasma bugs communicated for a moment. One of the plasma bugs suddenly turned around and flew away into the distance with a group of saberpods flapping its wings.
After another moment, after confirming that the leaving plasma bug had flown far away and that it would be impossible to return for help for a while, Alex suddenly jumped up from the ground.
"Phew!" The tail of the only remaining Sidewinder missile sprayed incandescent flames and flew towards the plasma bug left behind.
The violent sound of breaking through the air approached quickly.
As if being greatly stimulated, the plasma bug let out a sharp scream, and the glands in its tail contracted violently. It spit out a ball of blue plasma liquid with a "bu" sound, and collided with the Sidewinder missile in the air.
