Chapter 213: Orbital Bombardment to Rescue Refugees
"Master Carlos, I, we can't move anymore."
"Take a break!"
The veterans looked at the pale and exhausted civilians and complained, "Carlos, we have done our best to get these people out. I think we should just leave these burdens behind."
Carlos looked at the sad and frightened people and slowly shook his head.
"John, we all come from the bottom nest. Who among us is not a burden that is despised by others?"
"We should never forget our roots. If we hadn't worked together, we old guys wouldn't have been able to escape."
"We can't do such ungrateful things. If you want to leave, you go first. I'll stay."
"Anyway, I've lived to be fifty, which is enough."
"What are you talking about? As if all the brothers are heartless and ruthless?"
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to leave, then don't leave. Don't regret it!"
Although the veterans complained, they still did their best to carry out the tasks assigned by Carlos and maintain order in the survivors' team.
"Mom, I want to drink water."
"Brother, please be kind and give me some water. The child hasn't had any water for a day."
"Get lost! I don't even have enough to drink myself, if you want to drink it, go pee on yourself!"
After fighting for most of the day and finally escaping from the nest, and walking in the wilderness for a night, everyone was exhausted. Many people did not bring much supplies with them in their hasty escape, and now they were hungry and thirsty. There were already signs of conflict in the team over food and water.
Carlos gritted his teeth, he had no good solution. Just as he was about to kill a group of people to maintain order, the roar of propellers suddenly came from the distance.
"It's a transport plane!"
"Someone is here to save us!"
The survivors shouted excitedly.
A formation of rotorcraft appeared in the sky filled with yellow sand. The transport planes landed on an open space not far from the group of survivors. A fully armed troop got off the planes and used force to stop the excited crowd.
"Everyone stop, stay away from the transport plane!"
The opposing officer regained control of the situation and called out to the survivors: "Who is your leader? Come out and speak."
Under everyone's attention, Carlos walked forward with a group of veterans.
"I'm Carlos, you can tell me anything."
"We are the guards of the Great Sage Clark. We have been ordered to search for survivors. The Great Sage has set up a refugee camp around the Sage City. You can take refuge there."
"We also need to inform other survivors that there are some supplies here. Please accept some. It will be enough for you to reach the next supply point."
The commander left Carlos a communicator and a map with a safe route to the Sage City, with supply stations along the way.
The soldiers quickly unloaded the supplies from the transport plane, and then quickly returned to the plane. After completing all this, the transport plane formation immediately left and rushed to the next nest without stopping.
"Da da da!"
Carlos pulled the trigger and shot several civilians who wanted to steal supplies without hesitation, and asked the veterans to protect the supplies.
"If you don't want to die, follow my command!"
"From now on, all food, water and medicine will be collectively owned and rationed. Those who disobey will keep the supplies but leave!"
During the special period, Carlos did not hesitate to implement iron-blooded methods, forcibly suppressing the rebellion by force and implementing militarized management of the survivors.
Although some survivors had complaints, they could only swallow their bitterness in the face of Carlos, who had a large army under his command.
"Everyone line up in five rows and go forward to receive supplies!"
"Everyone gets a share, don't cut in line, don't let me buy him popcorn!"
Under the ferocious suppression of the veterans, the survivors' team was able to maintain order. After receiving a day's supply, eating and drinking and taking a short rest, Carlos led everyone on the journey to the City of Sages.
In the City of Sages, after pacifying the Supreme Nest, the Great Sage returned to the city with his elite troops to rest for a while.
"How is the search and rescue work for survivors?"
"We have found a total of 1,243 refugee groups, with an estimated number of nearly 1 billion people. They are heading to the refugee camp in batches."
"Andy, how are the logistics?"
“We have built a camp that can accommodate 80 million people, and we expect to build a camp that can accommodate 1 billion people within five days.”
"There is more than enough food. There is also a large amount of corpse starch stored in the hive, which can be used for emergencies."
"That's all it can do..."
The Great Sage looked worried and sighed, "It is too difficult to save the entire world with the power of our Sage City alone."
This is just the first wave of refugees, from the dozen or so Hives that are relatively close to the Sage City. You can imagine how many people in the entire Hive World need help.
"We must recapture the surrounding hives as soon as possible and use them as refugee camps!"
The only solution now is to recapture more hive cities, because each hive has sufficient material reserves, housing, and material production systems, and can accommodate billions of people.
Recapturing the hive city is far more efficient than building refugee camps.
The refugee camp in the City of Sages is only suitable for use as a field hospital to isolate and accommodate seriously injured people.
After determining the key, the great sage adjusted the orders and his troops took swift action.
"Great Sage, we have received a communication request from the Angel of Judgment!"
Orders came from the Ash Claws, requesting the Archmagos and his forces to assist them in retaking the hive.
This coincides with the plan of the Great Sage.
"Reply to the Angel of Judgment, we will prioritize supporting the nearest hive!"
Flamingo in orbit.
"Report, the 44th team has sent a report, it has been confirmed that Hive has been completely lost."
"Notify Team 47 to retreat immediately and provide support to nearby Hive !"
"Macro artillery matrix ready, strike in thirty minutes!"
Twenty-five minutes later, Team 44, along with a small group of survivors - mainly elites and technicians, escaped from Hive on a transport plane.
Five minutes later, balls of blazing light fell vertically from the sky and landed in the center of the hive.
boom!
A white sun bloomed from the point of impact, and instantly expanded to a blazing ball of light several kilometers in diameter, engulfing the steel jungle.
As if bitten by a giant mouth of lava, huge gaps appeared on the huge steel nest, flames rose, and magma flowed.
Wherever the plasma macrocannon hits, the combustible material is instantly vaporized into nothingness by the destructive energy, while the non-combustible concrete and metal melt into magma and molten iron.
The gigantic structure, which was more than ten kilometers high, began to collapse and was engulfed by flames and magma. The sky was as red as if it was burning.
After being bombarded by dozens of macro-cannons from orbit, Hive City 44 was completely reduced to the ruins of a burning magma lake, with even the earth's crust almost pierced through.
After completing the strike, the Flamingo moved to the next hive marked as fallen and once again rained down a shower of deadly meteors.
In space, there are a total of five space battleships with orbital strike capabilities, carrying out destruction missions.
Magnificent hive cities, along with the billions of plague troops and hundreds of millions of human survivors within them, were wiped out from the real world.
