305: 304 305: 304 Even if the tal door could close imdiately, when the Insect Clan was less than two kiloters away, the best choice was to place obstacles in their inevitable path, otherwise…
“Clang!”
A grating tallic sound rang out.
A tal sphere, finally spit out by one of the tallic insects, got stuck in the slowly closing tal door.
“Oh no.”
Seeing this, Lu Zixun knew they probably couldn’t hold this position.
Under Cheng Tianxiang’s orderly command, the crossfire indeed kept the tallic insects outside the tal door.
But Lu Zixun, looking at the spent bullet casings scattered all over the ground, was wondering—just how many bullets were left?
“Tianxiang, only the last two magazines left!”
Though the barrage was holding the Insect Clan at bay, it also prevented team mbers from dealing with the sphere that jamd the tal door,
and now the bullets were almost gone.
Cheng Tianxiang, who used to think the Insect Clan wasn’t that terrifying as he planned strategies on paper, now had large sweat drops sliding down from his forehead to the tip of his nose.
A single mber of the Insect Clan was indeed not terrifying, but once an Insect Tide ford, it was nothing short of a catastrophic disaster.
“We can slip away, what are we waiting for?”
Lu Zixun, swishing his tail, spoke indifferently.
From the mont the tal sphere jamd the door, Zixun had spotted an evacuation security door nearby, presumably left intentionally by Zeng Haoyang.
Now the bullets that could stop the Insect Tide were almost spent; were they waiting to feed the insects?
Though they weren’t real insects, to be clear.
“First team, fire!”
Staring intently at the Insect Tide, as the first team emptied their magazines, Cheng Tianxiang shouted, “Second team fire, first team move to the security door to evacuate and cover with gunfire.”
Waiting for the last team to run out of bullets, without the barrier of gunfire holding them back, the Insect Tide surged over towards the tal door.
The quickly evacuating third team managed to enter through the security door just as the Insect Tide breached the tal door.
“Bang bang.”
Listening to the relentless banging against the security door, the team mbers’ faces were ghostly pale.
Inside this security door, there was no way out except to enter the cold storage.
What was more fatal was that the security door was about to be breached.
“First team, go open the cold storage, second and third teams, hold the security door.”
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Tianxiang issued commands in an orderly manner.
But only the spectating Lu Zixun knew that Cheng Tianxiang was actually panicking, with constant cold sweat on his forehead as proof.
“Tianxiang, the cold storage door is open!”
Wu Zhouyun, also drenched in sweat with urgency, exclaid with a glint of joy in his eyes as he opened the door to the cold storage.
“Ding, ding, ding.”
A dull thudding sound resud, and tal plates used to secure the security door fell to the ground with a tinkling sound.
Cheng Tianxiang, who was backing against the door with all his might, panted a bit, “Third team enter the cold storage and cover with gunfire, second team follow and retreat into the cold storage, leave two people to close the cold storage door, and first team…
cover the rear.”
“Yes!”
Watching the highly efficient and orderly movent on the scene, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow in surprise—Cheng Tianxiang’s on-the-spot command ability was that strong.
“Deputy Captain Lu, you better get inside!”
Seeing Lu Zixun still standing outside and watching, Cheng Tianxiang shouted with urgency.
Returning to his senses, Lu Zixun fully played the role of an utterly powerless salty fish cat and scurried towards the inside of the cold storage.
“Retreat!”
Once the second and third squads had positioned their stepwise firepower formations, Cheng Tianxiang roared, and the first squad mbers shouldered their guns, quickly heading toward the cold storage.
“Zzzz.”
A grating noise emanated from the tal bug’s mouth, and Lu Zixun raised his claws to cover his ears.
Why must it forcibly imitate the sounds of the True Insect Clan?
Why can’t it just use the actual sounds?
ng Yihao, temporarily in command, saw the security door get knocked down by the tal bugs and suddenly pulled the trigger, “Fire!”
Concentrated firepower pushed back the incoming bugs, and all mbers of the first squad successfully entered the cold storage.
“Ding, congratulations on completing the second mission.
There is an agent on the right side to restore Spiritual Energy; after all mbers use it, the third mission will comnce.”
In the coldness of the cold storage, a gentle feminine voice sounded.
Cheng Tianxiang’s tense mood eased a bit, and his legs went weak as he suddenly sat on the ground, breathing heavily.
Looking up, he noticed Wu Zhouyun, ng Yihao, and the faces of other squad mbers were all similarly strained.
Cheng Tianxiang paused and then burst into laughter.
Laughter gradually filled the cold storage, where comrades, who were previously strangers, now seed to grow much closer after a single battle.
Seeing this, Lu Zixun shook his head with a smile, recalling that he and Xiong Kang had experienced similar camaraderie.
“Old Cheng, you’re aweso.”
Wu Zhouyun gave Cheng Tianxiang a thumbs-up, saying sincerely, “With the situation so chaotic just now, you still commanded so well.
Truly aweso, no words needed.”
Seeming to feel that the praise from one person wasn’t enough, Wu Zhouyun turned to ng Yihao, “Old ng, right?”
“Yeah.”
ng Yihao’s response was colder, but the admiration in his eyes couldn’t be masked by his aloofness, “If I had to command at that ti, I couldn’t have done as well as Tianxiang.”
“Yeah, Captain Cheng is really sothing.”
“Marry , my male god, marry .”
“Ah~ the male god looked at , I’m going to faint.”
Previously a bit embarrassed, Cheng Tianxiang couldn’t help but laugh at the silly comnts, shaking his head and saying, “Stop joking around, quickly drink the agent and comnce the next mission.”
Holding a vial of the Spiritual Energy recovery agent, Cheng Tianxiang approached Lu Zixun with a smile, “Deputy Captain Lu, this is for you.”
“You’re quite impressive.”
After praising Cheng Tianxiang, Lu Zixun took and crushed the vial.
The chilly vapor seeped out, freezing the liquid into little ice blocks, floating above his head.
He controlled the ice to drop into his mouth.
Lu Zixun’s body floated up, standing on Cheng Tianxiang’s shoulder, “But there are so details you didn’t handle well, and a key issue is that you greatly underestimated the Insect Clan.”
“I know.”
Cheng Tianxiang smiled wryly, without any resentnt and sowhat disheartened, “I just didn’t expect the Insect Clan to be so fierce.”
To give a stick and then a sweet date was sothing Lu Zixun knew how to do.
He patted Cheng Tianxiang’s head and said, “It’s not a big problem.
Among those of your age, you’ve already done fantastically.”
“Everyone recover your Spiritual Energy now, and get ready to head out.”
Surveying everyone, Lu Zixun, who had been in “Invisibility” the whole ti, issued his first command.
At first, he thought they were just a bunch of weaklings, useless and only capable of dragging their feet.
But the actions of these three squads eventually showed Lu Zixun a reflection of himself and Xiong Kang.
After all, who hasn’t progressed from that phase of being useless?
Giving a slight smile, Lu Zixun decided to properly lead this team.
