Chapter 508: Chapter 508 - Terran Empire Third Base
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
At this moment, the two sides that were in a fierce state of battle did not notice Wei Xiao Bei at all.
The roof of the building was around thirty meters above the ground. This kind of height was not able to injure Wei Xiao Bei at all.
The wind whistled past him as he descended. When he was less than fifteen meters from the ground, the four Hydralisks sensed Wei Xiao Bei"s descent. They turned and aimed for him.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Wei Xiao Bei raised his left hand. The cement that he had gathered beforehand was thrown at the mouths of the Hydralisks.
The power contained in the cement was not great. Against those Hydralisks protected by their exoskeletons, it was not that effective, but when the cement hit their mouths, their attacks deviated slightly.
That much deviation was enough.
Wei Xiao Bei grasped the air with his right hand, and the Divine White Mist Great Spear immediately appeared. After thrusting countless times and pulling back, the four Hydralisks were now full of holes, causing them to immediately collapse on the ground. Their bodies spasmed on the verge of death.
These Hydralisks were powerful due to the spines that they could shoot out, but by themselves were not that much stronger than the Zerglings. They were weaklings in front of Wei Xiao Bei.
The attacks of the Hydralisk was somewhere around the level of a 2-Star Terror Creature, but their defense and vitality were only at the level of a 1-Star Elite.
After eliminating the Hydralisks, Wei Xiao Bei turned around and waved his spear at the Zerglings.
Following the death of the Hydralisks and Wei Xiao Bei"s addition to the battlefield, the pressure on the Marines greatly decreased, allowing them to quickly launch a counterattack at the Zerglings.
Naturally, this kind of counterattack signified the climax of the battle. When the final Zergling was turned to shreds, there were only five Marines left while the two Medics in the middle were protected in the center without any injuries.
"Hi! Thanks for your help."
Just when Wei Xiao Bei was pondering how to communicate with this human group from StarCraft, a Medic had already walked over. The Medic had pressed something causing a clacking sound as her translucent helmet dropped. What appeared was the face of a charming Westerner with red hair.
It was a woman.
This was something that Wei Xiao Bei already antic.i.p.ated.
After all, Wei Xiao Bei had already played StarCraft before. He was not an expert but he was at the very least familiar with most of the units.
The only thing he never imagined was that the Medic was a Western beauty that spoke English.
Naturally, this was also very normal. After all, StarCraft was not a Chinese game. The human race being foreigners was not surprising.
"I am second lieutenant Jessica belonging to the Terran Empire"s 3rd Base 7th Corps 11th Division. What about you?"
While Wei Xiao Bei was thinking, the beauty named Jessica began to introduce herself and asked Wei Xiao Bei a question.
"I am a traveler. What manner of monsters are these?"
In an instant, Wei Xiao Bei thought of many things and in the end, decided to pretend to be a traveler. A traveler that did not know about these things. As for further details, he left it to Jessica"s to fill in the gaps.
"A traveler? These monsters are called Zergs. That is a Zergling, and that is a Hydralisk! They are enemies of us Terrans. Naturally, there are also stronger Zerg creatures. Do you understand if I say it like that?"
Jessica was a bit stunned. In her impression, all humans belonged to the great Terran Empire, but the human in front of her suddenly declared that he was a traveler. Moreover, he was unfamiliar with these matters, causing her to be confused.
Naturally, the other party was still the person who saved their squad.
Even clones had their own feelings.
"What do you plan to do now? Continue killing these monsters? These Zerg, Zerglings, and Hydralisks?"
Wei Xiao Bei inwardly sighed with relief. Luckily, making his move was enough to gain these soldiers" trust.
Although Wei Xiao Bei was not afraid of these soldiers, he wanted to penetrate deep into the area. Having a few guides to understand the situation was fantastic for him.
Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei did not want to increase his enemies, especially ones with intelligence.
It was very clear that the so-called Terran Empire would not only have one squad of soldiers.
"No, no, no. My soldiers are already tired right now. We need to first return to base to take a rest. What about you, traveler?"
Jessica shook her head. As a squad that had lost two-thirds of its original force, it was naturally impossible for them to complete their mission anymore.
"Me? I don"t have a fixed residence as I travel anywhere. Perhaps I should leave this place, these Zerglings are not that friendly."
Wei Xiao Bei smiled and prepared to turn around and leave.
Naturally, this was only an act.
"Wait a minute, traveler. You are really strong. Why not contribute to our empire? We can return to the base and enjoy a warm bed and a delicious meal. There are even beautiful girls."
Jessica"s former words were just as Wei Xiao Bei expected, but the latter words made Wei Xiao Bei want to vomit blood.
Are you sure you are the second lieutenant of the Terran Empire or are you a pimp at the nightclub?
Moreover, Jessica"s face when she said this looked innocent and charming. If it was the first time he entered the Dust World, he might just immediately surrender and kneel in front of her.
"Okay. Since you have invited me, then I agree to go to your base to take a look, but I won"t join the Terran Empire yet."
Wei Xiao Bei smiled.
"Okay. You will definitely agree. Men! Set off! Return to base!"
Jessica nodded her head and immediately ordered, causing the remaining soldiers to cheer.
After all, anyone would want to return to a safe place after such a desperate battle. For these soldiers, the base was without a doubt their home.
As the strongest person there, Wei Xiao Bei created a path in front with Jessica following behind him. She held on to the medical equipment, preparing to support Wei Xiao Bei.
The five marines formed a semi-circle at the back to protect Jessica and the other Medic.
For someone powerful like Wei Xiao Bei to join the squad, the majority of the Marines were quite happy. One of the Marines even removed their helmet to reveal his bearded face and talked with Wei Xiao Bei while they walked. He was very interested in how Wei Xiao Bei was able to make the great spear disappear into thin air.
Toward this, Wei Xiao Bei could only apologize and say it was a secret.
Naturally, not all Marines had a good impression of him.
At this moment, the Marine furthest back was mumbling something non-stop, saying something like Wei Xiao Bei being a Zerg spy, or saying how he was too secretive about his origins and that bringing him back to base was dangerous.
Naturally, Jessica did not hear the mumbling, but Wei Xiao Bei could. However, he would not enter conflict with this soldier unless he was provoked.
Other than Wei Xiao Bei, the other person that could hear it clearly was the other Medic.
Perhaps she could not endure listening anymore, but the Medic removed her helmet, exposing her delicate face. She smiled and softly whispered to the Marine, "What"s wrong? Are you jealous?"
"What! Who is jealous?"
The Marine almost jumped, but still kept his voice low. After all, this was the truth, and he was ashamed to let everyone know.
"Oh? Who doesn"t know that you are wooing sister Jessica? Now that a rival appeared, you are nervous. Moreover, this traveler is quite cool. Even I am emotionally affected, let alone sister Jessica."
From the words of the Medic, it could be seen that these Terran Empire soldiers had treated traveler as Wei Xiao Bei"s name.
For the Terran Empire composed of many clones in their military, the concept of traveling might not even exist.
"You!"
The Marine did not remove his helmet, keeping his expression hidden, but his fl.u.s.tered voice could still be heard.
Luckily, he was a veteran soldier. Even if he was fl.u.s.tered, he did not do anything to backstab Wei Xiao Bei.
"Wu! Wu! Wu!" Around three hundred meters to the front, the sound of a machine could be heard.
In Wei Xiao Bei"s [Response Search], an outlandish shuttle-shaped car appeared. It was currently moving in their direction, causing Wei Xiao Bei to become alert.
"Everybody pay attention, there is movement in front."
Including Jessica, no one in the squad had Wei Xiao Bei"s probing ability. Hearing Wei Xiao Bei"s warning, they immediately entered into formation.
Soon, a shuttle-shaped car appeared in Jessica"s line of vision.
"Vulture! It"s one of our men. Everybody relax."
Jessica"s tense expression immediately relaxed.
Vulture?
Wei Xiao Bei immeidately came to an understanding and used [Enlightenment].
In truth, Wei Xiao Bei had noticed one thing before this. Compared to other monsters of the Dust World, whether it was the Zergs or the humans, they did not have any reaction to his skill at all, as if they could not sense it.
This might be related to the method by which they multiply.
