Chapter 122: All Staff Mobilization
Ship, Inspection Department——
The urgent ringing sound still could not be dissipated.
Bi Ye Mirai stood in the middle of the third echelon, tightly wrapped in armor made of special material, with only a confused head exposed under the astronaut helmet.
From the time the emergency alarm was sounded until now, Mirai saw crew members fully armed and continuously being transported to the other side of the gate.
He didn't know what happened at the gate, and no one told him the specific reason. He only knew that something abnormal happened in the B3 area and all the crew members of the inspection department had been dispatched.
In a few minutes, the third echelon will also enter the gate and head to that area in batches according to orders.
Although their minister is already middle-aged, he still put on armor, held a gun in his hand, and carried a special steel blade behind his back, looking ready for battle.
After a while, Bi Ye Mirai suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
"captain?"
A burly figure walked quickly past, and the highest commander of the ship appeared on the high platform of the inspection department. The minister saluted the captain. At this moment, the amiable captain changed his usual expression and shouted to the members of the third echelon:
"All members of the Inspection Department!"
"We are now facing an unprecedented disaster."
"Remember the cosmic creature we captured on Taksim some time ago?"
"Because the spacecraft was hit by a meteorite, an accident occurred in the cold storage, causing the two cosmic moths to escape."
"..."
Hearing this, the pilots below the platform looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a pause, the captain continued, "Members over 40 years old and with more than five years of military service, please step out!"
"Exit!"
"Tat-tat--"
For a moment, the entire inspection department was filled with the sound of the third echelon's orderly footsteps. The most experienced crew members in the echelon stepped out and assembled into a new formation in front of the captain.
"Ah."
Looking at the dozens of determined navigators in front of him, the captain nodded solemnly, affirming their bravery. Because he knew that he didn't know how many people would be able to come back after this trip. After thinking for a few breaths, he picked up his weapon and led the team out of the gate quickly, disappearing at the corner of the passage.
After the captain led the squadron away, the minister hurriedly ordered the remaining echelon members to support other members at the Taksim stone warehouse.
And in the crowd, there happened to be a gun-wielding Bi Ye Mirai...
I don't know how long it took, nearly two hours after the ship deviated from the planned orbit, when a dazzling beam of light suddenly flashed across the vast sea of stars from the direction of the Earth. The beam of light was like a meteor, dragging a long tail, and flew straight towards the ship.
It was not until the distance to the ship was less than ten kilometers that the speed of the light beam gradually slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye. Only when the beam converged could the EX-J wrapped in the beam be clearly seen.
"Reporting to headquarters, this is EX-J, a ship calling for help has been spotted, over." Luo Bingyang said after debugging the channel.
"Headquarters received, please rush to rescue."
"clear."
After that, a bright flame tail burst out from the rear end of the EX-J, and it quickly approached the ship that was asking for help.
From a distance, the huge body turned into shadows, covering the light like a sky. At this moment, the EX-J was as small as a child in front of the ship.
"Calling the tower, this is EX-J, requesting platform landing."
Zhi...zhi...
"Tower received, tower received, please proceed to platform 3 for landing."
"learn."
As soon as the words came out, EX-J rose rapidly, and soon arrived above the ship, hovering and waiting for instructions.
at the same time--
Countless Ink-Feathered Moths swooped over to the warehouse where Taksim Stone was stored. The third, second and first echelons defended the warehouse gate and kept pulling the triggers to form a dense firepower network that finally suppressed these crazy monsters at the entrance.
Countless corpses almost blocked the entire entrance, and emitted a foul odor.
I can’t count how many waves of attacks this is. It seems that the black feather moths are endless and will sweep in again after a period of time.
"Why are there so many of these ghost things?"
After complaining, a sturdy man with dark skin loosened his grip on the machine gun, then sat down on the position sweating profusely. When he turned his head, his eyes happened to glance at Bino Mirai, who was also sweating profusely.
Seeing the shock on his young face, the big black man grinned and asked jokingly, "Is this your first time seeing this?"
"Ah."
The black man glanced at Bi Ye Mirai and asked, "Born on a ship, right? How old are you this year?"
"Just turned 19."
"You just turned 19... You're quite young. Have you ever seen what the Earth looks like?"
Bino Mirai shook his head. For him, who had lived in the universe since childhood, the Earth was a home planet he longed for.
"Boy, don't be careless. These things will counterattack. We must defend this place, otherwise everyone on the ship will..."
During the short break, the black man talked to Weilai a lot, like an elder's advice to a younger generation; like a joke between comrades-in-arms... Although it was their first meeting, Weilai took a lot of it in. Unconsciously, he felt his shoulders gradually getting heavier, and the childishness on his face was slowly receding.
After a while, the sharp sound of flapping wings was heard again from the direction of the passage.
buzz-
The black man's face suddenly turned ugly when he saw this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "So fast!?"
After saying that, the black man set up his machine gun and quickly suppressed the fire in the passage.
"Boy, hey hey... come alive!"
The black man's voice was mixed in with the sound of machine gun fire. Bino Mirai reacted and immediately joined the battle.
Bullets poured out mercilessly, and at that moment, the fire from the muzzle seemed to be lit.
Firepower from all directions kept sweeping at the black-feathered moths, but this group of creatures were like cockroaches, one group died and another group came again, endlessly!
The troops stationed at the warehouse had already experienced several waves of fierce attacks, and their ammunition was about to be exhausted...
"hateful!"
Someone in the crowd yelled, "No more bullets!"
"We must defend them and not let them absorb the Taksim Stone!"
"..."
For a moment, due to the lack of ammunition, a few black feather moths took the opportunity to "whoosh" up.
"not good!"
"They are coming up..."
Before he could finish his words, a sickle-like blade chopped down, and the man's head fell to the ground with horror in his eyes.
In an instant, the position was in chaos. Without the courage given by bullets, the soldiers were unaware that this place had become a slaughterhouse for these ink-feathered moths.
"Fight them!"
The black man used up all the bullets in his machine gun, picked up a machete that had fallen to the ground with a glance, stared fiercely at the black-feathered moths that had sneaked onto the battlefield, then raised the machete and rushed straight over.
"what!"
The black man tore at his muscles, a cold light suddenly shot out of his eyes, and then he shouted angrily and slashed at the black feather moth.
The blade shines brightly, as if it can cut through iron like mud.
But... seeing this, the Ink Feather Moth stretched out its sickle-like sharp blade to block, and immediately a crisp clanging sound was heard.
Stupid!
Um! ?
The black man was slightly stunned, and before he could react, the black moth easily pinned him to the ground with a little force. Then, just as the black moth raised the sharp blade and aimed at the black man's neck, a gunshot suddenly sounded not far away.
"boom!"
The bullet flew out of the gun, broke through the air, and flew straight towards the black-feathered moth.
The bullet hit the black feather moth's eye exactly.
