After patting Taiko's head gently, Rimi's reassuring smile caught her eyes.

"Don't worry, Tai Xing. That's the light that protects us."

Tai Xing's uneasiness in his heart also dissipated, and the fear of the unknown in his eyes turned into longing for a hero, which was cast into the distance through the car window.

The convoy's operation went smoothly. The feint team successfully lured Hector who was patrolling nearby. Satomi and her friends had a smooth journey, and the surrounding scenery gradually changed from the city of Nara to the current town.

The open fields intersect with numerous two-story houses, and the field of vision is much better than that of the urban area. Hector, who is nearly 20 meters tall, can lock onto this area at a glance even at a distance of a thousand meters, so there is no possibility of a surprise attack at all.

The drivers of each car are also more calm than when driving in the city. They no longer step on the accelerator lightly with fear, but accelerate forward with a relaxed mind.

"It's a little weird."

Rimi rolled down the car window and stuck her head out to look around.

Because it is relatively close to Nara, the people here have already fled, so it is understandable that there are no people here, but it is really too quiet.

I closed my eyes and listened carefully. There was only the sound of the convoy's engines, no insects chirping, no birds singing, nothing at all. It was as if the entire area was dead.

"Something's wrong." Rimi quickly leaned out half of her body and crossed her arms towards the new militiamen on the vehicles.

Seeing the boss' instructions, the new militiamen in the car became alert.

They pulled the bolt to check the chamber, removed the magazine to check the bullets, flicked the safety with their fingers and extended the gun barrel out of the window. Their well-trained skills immediately turned the entire convoy into curled up hedgehogs.

rumble--

The peaceful silence was broken by a buzzing sound coming from underground. Rimi looked with bated breath and saw several arched earth mounds protruding from the farmland in the distance. The rocks were wriggling like countless maggots, trembling slightly and seemed to be full of life.

The next second, a black wave mixed with a little blood-red gushed out from it, like a backflow of floods that instantly spread around!

Rimi was horrified, not for any other reason but because this vast black tide was none other than an endless swarm of giant ants!

There were also hundreds of Beta Spider-type aggressive giant creatures leaping high from the mound, climbing hundreds of meters into the air! Rimi and a few other people were really terrified by them. For them, the strong acid-dissolving silk of this monster was simply a nightmare!

These mounds are actually underground tunnels used by these giant insects to deploy their troops?!

Rimi looked nervous. She grabbed the loudspeaker installed in the car and shouted at a trembling voice: "Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up! Hurry up and rush over!"

At her roar, the drivers wanted to step on the accelerator directly into the gas tank. The crackling sound of gunfire surrounded the convoy, as if urging the vehicles to go faster.

The new militiamen gathered on one side of the bus, and the dense rain of bullets formed by hundreds of rifles was no less powerful than that of the rotary machine guns.

But the Self-Defense Forces' Type 64 rifle is ultimately an obsolete product from the last century. The 7.62mm full-power rifle bullet is powerful against humans, but it has little effect against these insect monsters covered in hard exoskeletons. It has no advantage over the new rifles equipped by the EDF for firing special armor-piercing bullets.

——"There are too many! The bugs are overwhelming us!"

——"Fire, fire, fire! Don't worry about anything, just pull the trigger!"

——"Bullets, who has extra bullets? I've run out of them!"

Rimi quickly removed the empty magazine, and the empty shells made of engineering plastic flew out of the window and rolled all the way. She pulled out a new full magazine from her waist and was about to load it.

In the dim light of the moment, the look of Taiko's family hugging each other in anxiety was engraved in Rimi's eyes.

Why did Tai Xing's family have to be arranged to sit in a car alone, and why did she have to escort them personally? Even though Li Yao did not say much, she already had the answer in her heart.

But she didn't want to accept it. Everyone had come to this point, but in the end they had no choice but to resort to this last resort!

Rimi clenched her fists and the rifle in her hand made a clicking sound. The surging swarm of insects was approaching and she had to make a choice.

After a moment of silence, Rimi opened her trembling lips and looked at the driver and shouted in a low voice: "Speed ​​up, let's get out of the car..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard a sharp scream from the sky, as swift and sharp as a falcon, and as powerful as a tiger, but no matter what, it was definitely not something the monster before her could do.

Instantly, dozens of humanoid mechas, dragging bright blue tail flames, leaped over the convoy like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

The sturdy leg-buffered joints perfectly withstood the huge impact brought by the high-speed landing of the mecha. The short and crisp mechanical friction echoed in the ears. Without a second of hesitation, the mecha army in front of them immediately raised the chain-fed machine guns in their arms, and the cylindrical head monitors lit up with a sci-fi red light.

dong dong dong-

If the sound of the guns in Rimi and the others' hands was just like firecrackers, then the machine guns of this mecha unit were like thunder.

The huge cross of gun flames flickered at a high frequency, and the terrifying spherical light bullets drew a straight trail of light that easily penetrated the armor of the giant insects in front of them. This was also true for the hardest and most reliable exoskeleton. How could the fragile flesh covered underneath be a match for the endless bombardment?

In the blink of an eye, waves of purple rose in the black tide, and the ants' shattered flesh and blood flew around like a high wall. Only dozens of these mechas crushed an army that was more than ten times their number!

Even if a red mutant like the Nest's personal guard broke through the firepower blockade of a single mecha, as long as it dared to step over the "purple wall" it would be immediately shattered by the more powerful cross-fire.

Upon seeing this, the Beta-type spider monster jumped high from the ant colony, and its round and fat tail suddenly spit out several strong acid poisonous threads that stuck the mechas in place and made them unable to move.

The strong acid contained in the poisonous thread began to corrode and invade the surface of the mecha the moment it came into contact with it. Wisps of white smoke rose from the armor on the surface of each mecha, completely engulfing them.

But how could the fruit of human wisdom be defeated by such tricks?

Soon, a torrent of emerald green smoke spurted out from the joints of each mecha, dispersing the pungent white smoke surrounding it in the blink of an eye. What was surprising was that after the green smoke subsided, the poisonous threads that were originally tightly stuck to the body of the mecha not only stopped emitting white smoke, but also turned into a slime-like fluid and dissolved and fell off on their own.

Except for the damage to the blue paint on the surface of the fuselage, the entire fuselage was almost intact.

Spider-type monster:?!

Since the other party is showing respect by doing hot compress and scraping, there is no reason for the mecha troops not to return the favor.

Click! Click!

In an instant, the weapon pods behind the shoulders of several mechas opened two rows of covers, and then with a deafening roar of rockets, hundreds of missiles soared into the air, leaving trails of smoke. The cold light of the missiles flashed under the sunlight, and they turned at a staggeringly sharp angle and rushed straight towards the army of ants on the ground.

Boom boom boom——

Several flaming flowers burst into flames from the ant colony, like delicate flowers, engulfing the vast black army in a sea of ​​​​raging fire, while the spider-like monsters also struggled in flames and finally turned into curled up charcoal.

In less than a few minutes, the entire army was completely wiped out by the invading mecha troops.

The planes were lined up in a line, equally spaced apart. They flew across the battlefield that had just been turned into a sea of ​​fire by their attacks, carefully checking for any lucky escapees. The sound of sparse gunfire could still be heard occasionally.

Rimi and thousands of other people stared blankly at the scene before them that was beyond their imagination, not knowing how to start.

"Satomi!"

At this time, Li Yao's voice came from the air. He landed at high speed next to Li Mei with a mountain on his back, and then he transformed into a human form.

It was not difficult to see that even he was full of doubts about the mecha troops in front of him.

"Nix Fighter Body?"

Rimi and Ooyama looked at Li Yao who was mumbling to himself and asked hurriedly:

"Li Yao, do you know what these things are?"

Of course, after all, these 5-meter-tall humanoid mechas in front of us are also the EDF standard enhanced military exoskeleton equipment in the game "Earth Defense Force" 4.1, 5, and 6.

After the Nyx machines in front of them destroyed the tunnel exit of the Zerg, they turned around and the familiar logos on their chests gradually shone in the sun.

That’s right, there are three big words on it - EDF.

……

Chapter 201: The Coming Earth Devourer

The unique mechanical friction sound of the Knicks surrounded the convoy. Soon, a convoy of armored vehicles with EDF logos drove up the road. Li Yao seemed to see a familiar figure through the glass of the leading Hummer.

The EDF convoy stopped not far from where Satomi and other refugees were, and then fully armed EDF soldiers ran towards them with weapons and first aid kits, and the last one to walk was Colonel Fuji who got off the Hummer.

"father!"

Tai Xing was holding his cat Xiaojiu with a smile on his face, swinging his still small legs and running towards the figure he had been thinking about day and night.

"What a blessing!"

Colonel Fuji trotted forward, opening his arms to welcome the hug he had missed for so long.

Taixing's mother walked up to the father and son and just looked at them with a gentle smile. For Colonel Fuji's family, the war was no longer important compared to this moment.

Li Yao put his hands on his waist, nodded and smiled. How long has it been since he last felt this way?

When I see others smiling because of the help I have given them, I feel a warm feeling spreading throughout my body.

"Bear with it!" Rimi pulled the bandage between the splints on Daishan's leg and a heart-wrenching scream instantly reached the sky.

Li Yao looked at Dashan with dead eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little more sympathetic.

If I had known that this guy had a broken bone, I would have used [Recovery Cells] to heal him first. But this is not Li Yao's fault. It's Dashan who insisted on being stubborn and saying "it's just a sprained ankle". It can only be said that he deserves to suffer.

Rimi dusted off her hands, walked slowly to Li Yao's side, and asked hesitantly:

"Li Yao, since only the two of you are back, that means the others are—"

Li Yao did not reply.

"They are all great, and we don't blame you. After all, you see, by following your plan we really rescued so many refugees!" Rimi became more and more excited, and she herself was even beginning to wonder whether these words were to comfort Li Yao or herself.

War will kill people, this is an eternal truth.

Even if the advantaged party occupies an absolute generational gap, the appearance of death is still unavoidable. History from ancient times to the present has told us this all the time.

What's more, he was fighting against countless iron weapons with his flesh and blood.

Even without anyone reminding him, Li Yao still sincerely respected everyone in the feint team, but——

"In the end, I didn't even know their names."

Everyone fell into silence.

Seeing that Li Yao was reluctant to smile, Rimi quickly grabbed his arm and forced a smile:

"It's okay! We have succeeded. All we need to do next is to let these refugees who are willing to follow us live a new life. Then we will not be unworthy of their sacrifice! Right, Li...Yao?"

Rimi's voice gradually faded away, and she stared at Li Yao with wide eyes as he looked up at the sky with a look of shock on his face.

Curiosity and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart, and she quickly looked towards the sky in the same direction of vision.

The sun...was eaten.

No, it wasn't the sun that was eaten.

It is this earth that is being eaten!!!

Countless huge hexagonal steel plates pierce through the clouds, revealing their inconceivably huge sizes. They connect to each other to build a gigantic iron curtain that can literally interpret the word "covering the sky and blocking the sun"!

Although they have the same shape, the shapes beneath the ground-facing panels are very different. Some have petal-shaped openings similar to those of a teleporting spacecraft, some are a large number of abrupt turret-like tower buildings, and some are huge, sharp cones.

But what remains unchanged is the shining silver light and dancing bright red light patterns of the unmanned weapons of the "Star Guides".

"Asita (Earth Devourer)..." Li Yao's small eyes were filled with great shock. He could hardly believe that such a spectacular planetary-level suppression weapon came from the hands of an "Earth" that was about to be destroyed.

Even though he had read countless special effects works, he could hardly find a super-giant weapon that could rival "Asita" in his mind.

Before he traveled through time, he had done something that tokusatsu fans often do: comparing combat power across works.

Regardless of scale, technology, military strength, and various super-giant weapons, the successive invading villains in "Earth Defense Force" can undoubtedly stand in the position of T1 civilization in the "Ultra Series Universe".

Come to think of it, he might be a little arrogant.

Most of the opponents he had defeated so far were just individual aliens or alien civilizations with not very high technological levels. When a powerful force that had the power to change the planet, build soldiers as easily as drinking water, and mastered countless cutting-edge technologies appeared before him, he felt the oppression and powerlessness of humans in the face of monsters.

"Z? Z!"

It was unknown how long Colonel Teng had been shouting. Li Yao, whose sanity was brought back to him by his voice, finally calmed down after looking at the serious eyes in front of him.

Seeing that he had returned to normal, Colonel Fuji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Z, what is that? It's almost covering the entire sky!"

Ignoring Colonel Diao Teng's question, Li Yao turned his head and stared into his eyes, and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Colonel Fuji, you should have contacted EDF headquarters to obtain these new equipment. I want to communicate with them directly."

……

Located in the temporary headquarters of the 52nd Brigade.

The abnormality in the sky undoubtedly had a huge shock on the soldiers. Although the [Ashita] above their heads did not react at all at this moment, who can guarantee that they will not release an attack that no one has ever seen in the next second and completely destroy humanity?

——"When will this battle end?"

——"The weapons of these 'Star Guides' are much more powerful than we imagined. I heard that not only ours, but also the armies of other countries have reported discovering the same thing."

——"We have resisted until now, but we will still be destroyed in the end..."

——"Why are you so depressed! Didn't you see that Z is back? That guy can destroy an entire army of ants and unmanned weapons with one strike. What do we have to be afraid of with him?"

——"Yes, Z is still on our side, so there is still hope for this battle."

In the command room in the cave, Gerdons, who had once again called himself "Z", was waiting with the communication headset connected.
