Chapter 21 (2/2)

“The bugs are coming!” One of the officers shouted out, and that snapped all of the dazed soldiers on High Ground Z3 back to their senses!

Many of the soldiers gave their faces a couple of slaps to wake themselves up. They then rushed over to their positions, or to operate the Gauss Cannons, or take up their electromagnetic rifles to meet the Insectoids’ assault.

While Qin Hao had interrupted the Hollowborer’s supersonic attack, but would the wounded bug forgive him?

Wreee!!! He only saw the Hollowborer turned its neck and charged at Qin Hao its mouth open wide. If Qin Hao was bitten by it, forget his flesh, even the metal power exoskeleton would be grounded to powder by the dozens of rows of sharp mandibles.

Shringg!! Qin Hao pulled the long knife out of the Hollowborer’s body, he then charged up and leaped sideways.

Crashhh!!! The Hollowborer crashed against the metal plating on the ground and instantly tore a big hole on the alloy flooring.

Krak Krark… With a shrill ring of friction, the alloy metal plate the Hollowborer had chewed away had been completely grated by its sharp jaws. Metal fragments fell down all over, and the scene was bone-chilling.

“How is this thing even made!” Qin Hao was quite frustrated at this moment. The Hollowborer was very large, and his long knife, even if it could puncture through its skin, it could not reach its internal organs. It was just too difficult to kill it.

When Qin Hao was being worried, the Hollowborer did not stand idle. It turned around, and came charging with its mouth wide open!

Boom!! Boom! Boom! Boom!! Qin Hao dodged left and right, using his strength and the high-speed movement of the powered exoskeleton to dodge the Hollowborer’s attack.

In just a short minute or two, the metal plates around the Hollowborer were completely overturned. Due to the shape of its mouth, when the metal plates were laid flat, it could not eat them. But once they were toppled over and the metal plates were jutting out, it could feast on the plates like chewing on biscuits.

Creeek… Following the extensive damage caused by the Hollowborer to the metal flooring around it, a large number of giant beetles rushed out. They themselves were good at digging holes, but they could not break through the metal flooring. Now that there was a gap here, the bugs rushed directly out from the insides of High Ground Z3!

Rat tat tat… The soldiers of the 3rd battalion fought with all their might. After the supersonic attack, they had regained their fighting power, but the strength of a single battalion alone was obviously insufficient to stop the giant beetles that were surging out from the holes.

“Third Battalion seeking support! Seeking support!”

“Damn it!” Qin Hao could not find any time to protect James. Because if he did not tangle with the Hollowborer, should it start the supersonic attack again, then the entire High Ground Z3 would fall in an instant.

“Just gotta kill them!” At this moment, Qin Hao could only go all in. Now, High Ground Z3 was being attacked from the inside and outside, and normally, he would have just left everything to fate.

Buzzzz… At this moment, the roar of fighter planes rang out, and the bombers were here. This was the only good news for the Federation Army.

Booom!!! Boooom!!!! As the bombers began carpet-bombing the Insectoid swarm beneath High Ground Z3, while the soldiers of the 106th Division were finally able to focus their attack on the interior of High Ground Z3. After all, the bombers could not bomb the bugs that had come out from the holes, otherwise, they would be wounding their own troops!
