Chapter 982: Natural Disasters, the Birth and Death of All Things!
The rumbling sound was covered by the continuous thunder in the sky.
Occasionally, a flash of lightning flashed.
The whole Qinggang City seemed to be resonating, and the buildings on the ground creaked under the heavy load.
Several thick smoke rose from the distance against the rain, and the boiling flames seemed to burn hotly in the sky.
For this city that has been occupied for a long time after the war, such a movement seems a bit strange.
But at this time, not many people care.
Because in the depths of the seemingly unreachable fog, black lines are rapidly condensing and enlarging until
"What is that!?"
Several Qinggang soldiers who were resting on the front sentry tower stood up curiously, picked up the biological scanning detection eyepieces hanging around their necks and observed those black lines.
Hmm.
Although there was a slight heat reaction, it was not obvious, and the value did not reach the level of living things at all.
After watching it, it was basically certain that some mutant insects that had drilled out of the cracks due to the rain were marching quickly in the cracks of the city.
In the past few decades, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice.
Almost every time when the mutant beast tide breaks out, these poor little guys will leave their homes and go to a safer place to survive, and only return quietly after the beast tide ends, giving the people in this city advance notice and warnings
Wait for the warning?
Several guards put down their goggles, and their faces suddenly became solemn.
The last mutant tide broke out four years ago, with a scale of: Level 3.
According to the classification of this thing by the New Alliance, there are five levels in total.
Among them, level 5 is the weakest, level 1 is the strongest, and level 3 is already a major disaster for Qinggang City. At that time, four mole shelters could not hold on and fell, resulting in the death of nearly 100,000 people.
According to the calculations of the experts of the foundation, the next beast tide will be at least eight years apart.
Why did it suddenly break out now?
Confused, the man who obviously looked like the captain among the few people touched his head and decided to go back and report to the captain behind him.
But before he took off his equipment, he slipped down the ladder of the sentry tower.
A soldier who picked up the eyepiece curiously suddenly said in surprise: "Captain, something is wrong. Why are the heat reaction values getting higher and higher? It seems that they are getting closer to us?"
"What?"
The captain, who was just raising his feet, was stunned. He quickly picked up the eyepiece and looked at the black lines again.
In the hazy and dreamy fog, humans cannot directly penetrate the visual barrier and see the true mask of the black lines.
But just as the soldier said, the values on the biological scanning detection eyepiece are indeed getting higher and higher, exceeding the upper limit of mutant insects and about to reach the level of mutant winged rats
"Not good, send a warning bell quickly!!!"
In an instant, in the gap in the fog opened by the rain, the captain just glanced at it, and cold sweat rolled down his back in an instant. ׺°”˜˜`”°º×
In that fog, the ones running towards him are not insects and radioactive creatures
They are clearly
Humans!
Humans who are limping over!
Buzz
Buzz
A low warning sounded, and instantly connected in front of the lightning wall.
Obviously, more than one team had experienced a change in the distance and pressed the only warning tool in their hands.
Because they were attacked a few days ago, there were still many troops deployed behind the lightning wall.
In less than thirty seconds, two teams of thirty soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor rushed out and accelerated along the direction of the black line.
"What happened?"
"What's going on? Is someone attacking the Qinggang Shelter again?"
"Look over there, it seems that someone is coming."
"No way, they are coming so obviously, are they trying to confront the Qinggang Shelter head-on?"
"Damn, this group of people will not anger Qinggang again and blame us for the crime."
"Hurry back, another soldier is coming out."
""
Unable to see what happened in the distance, more and more wanderers who came out of the lightning wall talked about it.
Perhaps it was because they had no expectations for life.
With the sudden crackling of guns and rumbling explosions in the distance, these people not only did not run, but stopped to look, with gloating on their faces.
Someone is coming again?
This Qinggang Shelter is really a rat crossing the street, and everyone is shouting for it to be beaten.
Unfortunately, if you want to defeat them, I am afraid that even if all the moles in this city are added together, it may not be enough.
The best result is that the attack of these people can divert the attention of the Qinggang Shelter, and no longer enjoy torturing these wanderers.
As for more, no one dares to ask for more.
While the mechanical exoskeleton soldiers were fighting, five helicopters also circled and rose from behind the lightning wall, and the propellers brought a huge storm sound and went in the direction of the battle.
Because it was flying almost close to the ground, the scattered rain fell more violently, crackling and hitting the wanderers below, causing many painful groans.
Boom!
The flames of the explosion ignited the entire ground, and the rolled up air waves instantly engulfed the surrounding fog.
Worthy of the ace air force of the entire Qinggang City, the addition of combat helicopters instantly changed the situation.
The most obvious thing was that the entire black line suddenly broke in the middle, probably because it was directly cleared by a few artillery shells.
"What a pity, they are here to die."
"So many people were killed at once, maybe they should run away?"
"It seems that they are not running away, my God, are these people so brave?"
"Maybe someone will come to save us, those other wanderers who escaped?"
"Forget it, who will come back to save you, an old man?"
The battlefield is not a fight in a tavern, even if you are bruised and swollen, you can get away with it as long as you pretend to be drunk.
This is a real meat grinder. Once you step in, you are very likely to become one of the elements whose sacrifice numbers are insignificant.
For elite soldiers, when the casualty rate is about 10%, a serious morale depression will occur.
When the casualty rate exceeds 20%, a large-scale collapse will break out immediately.
For a group like wanderers who have never been trained, 10% is the highest limit.
Especially when this 10% is lost suddenly, the impact is even greater.
However, what is strange is that
Even though a large section of the black line in the distance was suddenly cleared, the remaining black line still did not flee.
They still took a "stable" step and insisted on moving forward firmly and persistently.
"?"
The commander standing on the lightning wall was a little angry, picked up the communicator in his hand and cursed:
"Kevin, what's going on, release all your weapons, let them see how powerful we are."
"If these people enter our base within 500 meters, Lord Hades will definitely peel off your skin!"
"Yes, but they are not afraid of death!"
There was an intermittent voice coming from the communicator, and the fireman in charge of holding the machine gun swallowed his saliva, and there was a slight tremor in the middle of his voice.
"Those wanderers are back, they are back again!"
"What? The wanderers are back!?"
A hint of joy flashed across the commander's face, and he quickly turned up the volume of the communicator.
"Be careful, don't scare them, I'll send someone to support you."
"Be careful, if anyone is holding an industrial cough, if anyone is holding a box-shaped device, be careful, don't break it!"
After searching for the industrial core for nearly a week, there is still no news.
The wanderer who took the thing away seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing completely overnight.
Many wanderers who were caught from the escape route have been interrogated several times, and no one has seen anyone carrying the industrial core.
The commander had already given up hope of finding it back, and only wanted to be punished less after Lord Hades came out of the laboratory and got angry.
But now, the opportunity has come to him so luckily.
These wanderers who have returned have a great chance of finding the industrial core from them!
"No, Lord Edmund, no, not them!"
"Not them, what do you mean?"
"It's the wanderers, it's them, them"
"Damn it."
"They jumped on our plane, how is this possible?"
"Quick, get off, get off for me!"
"Da da da da da da da"
The roar of machine guns suddenly broke out, completely covering the already intermittent communication in the communicator.
Commander Edmund raised his head and looked not far away.
Although he couldn't see what happened specifically, in the fog, there was a black line rising along the ground and entangled a black spot of a helicopter flying at low altitude.
A violent fire broke out at the black spot, trying to break free from the black line.
But before this one broke free, three more suddenly jumped up from nearby.
Buzz buzz buzz
The propeller was spinning and fell down suddenly.
Boom!
A bright fire broke out less than a kilometer away, and the roaring air wave instantly swept away the surrounding 300 meters of mist.
The invincible helicopter formation was shot down by one?
How is this possible?
At this moment, not only Edmund was dumbfounded, but even the wanderer slaves who were watching the show below were staring with their eyes wide open.
If the helicopter is compared to a great devil with invincible magic, the black line below is like a weak warrior with faith.
Since when did the wanderers have the means to control the air?
They actually took down one of the opponent's helicopters under the firepower of the Qinggang Shelter, and scared the other four to flee, fearing that staying for a second would replicate the current situation.
This situation is not so exaggerated even in dreams, right?
However
At this moment, all this really happened, and there was a deviation from everyone's cognition.
Especially the Qinggang soldiers who had just suffered a defeat, they were silent at this time, their eyes were dull, fearing that the commander's anger would fall on them in the next second.
Standing on the high wall, the city defense commander Edmund himself was a little confused.
After coming to his senses in an instant, he quickly grabbed the communicator in his hand and turned on the full channel, roaring with saliva flying.
"Attack! Attack!"
"All soldiers put on your equipment now, use the most intense firepower to let them know fear!"
"These damn wanderers, these damn rats, I want them to die, die!"
"Where are our artillery? Pull out all the helicopter formations, start all the helicopter formations, and wipe them out for me."
Once again, the wanderers hit them at the doorstep, and the other side also captured a combat helicopter.
For Sunny Harbor Shelter, this is no longer a simple provocation.
There is no doubt that it is a slap in the face, the kind that makes a snapping sound.
These wanderers actually want to use their own flesh and blood to create a new era for this Sunny Harbor City?
Do they think they can really succeed!
Under Edmund's almost barking orders, pairs of soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor began to line up and run out of the gap.
More than a dozen tanks equipped with artillery also flew out, rushing towards the black line.
Another eight helicopters took off, this time they just flew over the city wall, and sixteen missiles instantly cut through the thick fog and landed on the black line position.
With the violent explosion, the horn of war sounded again here.
The black line formations turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and countless figures were burned into black coals before they could even fight back, and staggered to the ground.
Similar to the group of homeless people who were massacred in the city a few days ago, these people actually looked down upon death.
However, even if the disparity in strength between the two sides reached this point, they still moved forward firmly.
A captain in armor rushed to the front line, slammed the safety switches on his left and right hands, and fired wildly at the staggering figure more than a hundred meters away.
Although he was a little surprised, these people on the other side were like fools, and they didn't even fight back.
But watching each figure fall, the pleasure of mowing the grass still made him couldn't help but roar.
“Wuhu, it’s so cool!”
The combat value on the digital eyepiece has been increasing, which means that the number of enemies killed is growing rapidly.
Already imagining the rewards he might receive when he returned, the captain emptied the bullets in both guns in his left and right arms, and quickly took them from the ammunition magazine tied to his legs.
But when he emptied the magazine, changed the bullets and entered the shooting state again.
Not far away, the grass that he shot down stood up tenaciously.
Although the posture is very funny, as if the waist has been twisted 60 or 70 degrees, the forward speed is even slower.
But their target seems to be in the direction of the lightning wall!
"What the hell?"
"Aren't they afraid of death? Don't they feel pain?"
As a user of weapons, the Captain knew exactly what kind of damage a 43-caliber bullet would cause to the human body.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as a human being is hit by one shot, even if it is not a vital point, human beings will definitely lose their combat effectiveness at the speed of light.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
The team members next to him also noticed this strange image and took a step back in horror.
They have no fear in fighting humans because they are well aware of the equipment gap between the two sides.
They don't panic when fighting radioactive animals, because the impact of that thing can definitely be dealt with as long as it's not a tide of beasts.
But fighting against a group of wooden stakes who were not afraid of death, hundreds of soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons all felt some inner fear.
This is very strange, like suddenly breaking through a point of fear that is close to the limit in people's hearts.
Looking at the figures stumbling forward, the tenth captain opened his mouth and took a deep breath of the bloody smell in the air.
"What are you afraid of? As long as they cannot be resurrected, our bullets will definitely"
"Um?"
A flash of lightning illuminated the black line in the distance.
In a startling glance, I saw a face in the figure that was not familiar, but could be found in my memory.
The captain's whole body went limp, and there was a sudden dampness in his crotch.
impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
I remember correctly, that person
Three days ago, it was a homeless body that he threw out with his own hands!
