Chapter 293 Appetizer
He didn't dare to lie on his stomach anymore and struggled to stand up. However, at this moment, the ground trembled, and with a soft "chee", he felt a cold and hard thing enter his chest, and his abdomen passed out. There was a tearing pain, which reminded him of what happened when he just joined the army 10 years ago, and that's how those veterans fucked him up.
It's just that the old soldiers' things are thick and long, and they are extremely hot. But now the thing piercing his entire lower abdomen is longer and thicker, so cold that there is no warmth at all.
The giant steel nail pierced through his large intestine, small intestine, all the way up, and pierced the liver, spleen, pancreas and kidney. Then, it draws quickly. Brian felt his stomach was empty, and then countless sticky liquids flowed down.
He knew it was blood, his blood, life-bearing blood.
what……
He opened his mouth wide and let out a scream, just like his partner Collins did. Then, he fell down, throwing himself on the earthy ground.
A row of steel nails popped out from the ground, and with the help of gravity, they easily penetrated the outer shell of the power armor, and stuffed the thing that just popped his ass into his internal organs.
Bryan tried his nails and repeated what happened to Collins. He was still thinking about one thing when his heart was pierced.
It turns out... that guy named Tang Fang really has a long, thick and hard guy who can poke a person's ass off!
"what……"
"Help……"
"Team...captain, there is... something underground... ah, huh..."
At the last moment, Brian turned his head with all his strength, and beyond his line of sight, the grove became a bloody slaughterhouse, and rows and rows of huge steel nails protruded from the ground, binding his companions into one body after another. A cold dead body covered in blood holes.
da da da da...
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of gunfire lingered in my ears, and the flash of the explosion lit up the entire grove. The ground was covered with blood and fragmented corpses.
A head that had been separated from his body rolled in front of him, and his identity could be barely discerned through the broken goggles. Bonalban, the deputy captain of the Mountain Ghost Commando.
A spike popped out of the ground, pierced the helmet, and exploded Bonalban's skull. Brains sprayed out from the gap in the goggles, covering Brian's face.
With the flash of the grenade, he could clearly see the appearance of the spike, a conical biological drill bit that can be stretched freely, the whole is as black as ink, and shone with a frightening cold light. They will pop up in rows, shrinking and undulating like waves, piercing and bursting all the substances in front of them.
"What the hell is this..."
Brian's consciousness slowly dissipated, and the light in his pupils also gradually faded. He stared straight at the sky. There were 3 Euglenas cruising back and forth, and a faint blue line flashed through their huge eyes from time to time.
The second squadron of the Mountain Ghost Commando has a total of 3 platoons, 72 people, 6 people stayed across the road, and 12 people entered the garage. A total of 54 people, including the captain and deputy captain, entered the grove.
According to the previous mission plan, the grove was originally an excellent location for ambush, response, and sniping and chasing troops, but it turned into an enemy's slaughterhouse in the blink of an eye. All 54 mountain ghost commandos were wiped out, and not even one alive None left.
Dan James, who was hiding in the heather, felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, and the cold air spread rapidly along his spine.
"Captain, what happened? What happened in the woods?" There was a shout from the communicator, it was the companion sent by Zekalaya to the garage to investigate the reality.
"Captain? Platoon leader... ah, ah... what the hell is this, it's coming... it's coming!"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, there is an ambush underground, ah... ah... 呵..."
呲... 呵... 呵...
The shouting on the communicator died away, leaving only an electronic busy tone.
Dan James moved his numb limbs and said in a trembling voice, "Retreat...retreat."
Jenris is dead, Zekalaya is dead, they were still teasing each other just now, and Collins and Brian, who coveted the opponent's female family, are also dead. This was simply a trap set by the enemy. It was in vain that they were still cautious, not even daring to breathe out, and even argued for a long time at the headquarters, and even detailed the action plan to each person and every action.
However, all this is useless, the enemy brakes with silence, and responds to all changes with the same, like a cat playing with a mouse, watching them perform, watching them jump until they have had enough and get tired of it, just like stepping on cockroaches That kick would crush them to death.
Dan James looked at the Euglena flickering in the gap between the lingering smoke, let out a long mournful sigh, arched his body and crawled backwards.
But at this moment, suddenly, a bulge popped out of the cool soil in the heather clump 5 meters away, and then, a red glow lit up, shining straight on his body.
"What... what?" Dan James was taken aback, and hurriedly crawled back. He wasn't stupid at all, he knew that if he didn't run away, he might lose his chance.
His movements are fast, but the monster's speed is even faster. Dan James only felt a silver light flash in front of his eyes, and a mass of objects the size of a laptop computer had rushed towards his eyes.
Only then did he see clearly what the hell it was, a mine with four mechanical legs that could not only run, but also jump. He finally knew what happened to his companions in the garage.
Landmines will sense enemy and friend, will automatically sneak, and even jump, which is understandable. But... why the hell would TMD hide from the tiny detection robot? That is the most advanced scientific research achievement of the empire, a device that can detect even the rotation of the hands of an old-fashioned watch within a range of 100 meters. why! what is this?
Dan? James has never been able to get the answer! Because, the spider mine exploded.
The spider mine uses an old-fashioned fusion core, which is much less powerful than the widow mine, but even so, its lethality cannot be underestimated. First there was a little dazzling flash, and then a large number of high-heat, high-energy fragments erupted like an erupting volcano.
Dan James only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and then his whole body was flooded by a burst of bright light.
A large number of fragments were like a shower of clouds on a rainy day, sweeping across the entire heather in an instant. Within a radius of 20 meters, the leaf stems were directly evaporated by the high heat, and even the roots were uprooted by the violent shock wave and ignited.
The heather clump is like encountering a hurricane, with the place where the spider mine exploded as the center point, within 200 meters in diameter are the effective killing range of the fragments.
Dan James' body was blown to pieces, the blood and viscera were evaporated dry, and only sporadic pieces of meat were thrown hundreds of meters away, falling on the heather leaves and swinging up and down. The other 5 people were all killed. The 2 soldiers who were a little closer to the center of the explosion were blown into several pieces, and their stumps were thrown more than 100 meters away. The 3 soldiers who were on the verge of the explosion were better. It looks like a human-shaped briquette, but at any rate, it still leaves a whole body.
The sea breeze brought a burst of humidity, and the thick smoke in the sky was blown to pieces, and there were a few sporadic fire lights in the heather bushes, shining on the bloody faces of the fallen soldiers, like the propaganda cover of a crudely made horror movie.
Melville stared blankly at the big screen full of snowflakes, shaking his hand holding the water glass. Waters sat slumped on the sofa next to him, two eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.
"The mountain ghost... is that the end of the mountain ghost? All...the whole army is wiped out?" Through the individual camera and reconnaissance satellite, he witnessed the whole battle, oh no, it was a one-sided massacre!
The details of the operation of the Mountain Ghost Commando were perfect, no matter from which angle they could not find a single flaw, if compared with the Army of the Capital Military Region, they could be called the elite of the elite and the best of the soldiers.
But such an elite army is like a stone thrown into the sea, without even a sound, it just disappeared, the whole army died, and no one survived.
The research institute was still brightly lit, and no one came out to scout, as if they knew nothing about the battle outside.
The enemy didn't even mobilize a single soldier, fired a single shot, and all 72 soldiers of the Second Squadron of the Mountain Ghost Commando died. They didn't even know what kind of weapon the enemy was using, they only vaguely felt that it was a bit like a landmine.
"Brother Melville, now... what shall we do now?" Waters asked sullenly.
"Alas!" Melville sighed, but made no reply. Although Janlis and the others did not complete the task, they died completely without even seeing the enemy's shadow. However, this also reflects one thing from the side. The enemy is very strong, which is unbelievably strong, far exceeding the military's expectations.
Now, he finally realized Dunbar's helplessness. Facing such an enemy, acting rashly was simply giving the other party a head.
...
Back to a minute ago, in the command center of the research institute, Tang Fang held the fresh coffee made by Claire, took a sip, and savored it for a long time: "Well, it's fragrant and smooth, but it's a bit bitter. You didn't put it in Candy?"
Claire gave him a hard look: "There are so many problems, and only you Asians like sweet coffee."
"It's as if you white people don't like sweets." Tang Fang gave her a sideways look with disapproval.
"Tang Fang, can you be a little gentleman?"
"Okay, beautiful Miss Claire, please add a spoonful of sugar for me, thank you."
"I'm almost becoming your nanny." After adding the sugar, Claire shoved the cup back into his hand angrily.
"Don't you know? Old Marion sold you all to me. You must know that in our Han culture, the first choice for women, especially beautiful women, to repay their kindness is to make a promise with their bodies."
"Don! Fang!"
"what?"
"Why do not you go to hell?"
Tang Fang raised his eyelids, and without thinking about it, he said casually, "How can I do that? I can't bear you to be a widow."
"..."
The two made fun of each other, and Claire suddenly frowned and glanced towards the east: "I seem to hear the sound of an explosion."
"Is there? I didn't hear it." Tang Fang shrugged, pretending not to know.
Claire stared at him suspiciously, and listened again, only to find that the voice was gone: "Is it my illusion?"
Tang Fang chuckled, and with a quick move, a long spear appeared in front of the girl.
"This is?" Claire, who was originally focused outside, withdrew her thoughts, grabbed the heavy-duty sniper rifle on the ground, and fondled here and there: "This is the C-10MK you mentioned before?"
",,." Tang Fang shook his finger: "This is C-20A, stronger than C-."
"C-20A?" Claire pulled the bolt, then tilted her head again, tried the scope, and exclaimed: "Good gun, really good gun."
"Of course, the C-20A is a standard assault/sniper/grenade triple-purpose rifle. The assault mode downloads 24 rounds, and its lethality is stronger than the C-14 piercer. In the sniper mode, its scope not only provides night vision, In addition to displaying information such as wind speed, air humidity, target range, etc., its built-in computer can also help users lock the target to the greatest extent. As for the grenade mode, it can launch EMP grenade, flash grenade, hellfire grenade, sticky grenade, etc. Grenade."
"In addition, it also has the function of laser marking, which can be used to guide tactical nuclear weapons and airdrop pods."
"What? It has three modes? It can also guide nuclear weapons and airdrop pods?" Claire was really shocked by the powerful functions of the C-20A. Think about the guys she used before, the "Bore" and "Skywalker" of the Charles Federation in front of the C-20A, they are just a piece of garbage.
Tang Fang rubbed his chin and said, "Well... I think it's not available to guide the airdrop pod, after all, Battle Cruiser hasn't been unlocked yet. But, the function of guiding tactical nuclear weapons can be tested if you have time."
Claire cast an annoyed look at the stinky guy opposite, and sighed softly. This guy can always bring surprises of one kind or another. It's just... What kind of innocence and innocence does he pretend to be, and he guides tactical nuclear weapons, this kind of thing is just a joke... Also, what did he just say? War... Patrol? Battlecruiser?
"Tang Fang, what did you just say? Battlecruiser? Battlecruiser?"
"Ah, nothing, nothing." The guy waved his hands again and again, muttering in a low voice that only he could hear: "How can a low-key person like me inform others of the existence of Battle Cruiser in advance?"
In fact, these words are pure nonsense, his biggest hobby is to see Claire and others stunned when they saw the new weapons.
Claire looked at him suspiciously, and instead of entangled in this issue, she changed her expression and asked worriedly: "Is it really okay for us to occupy the research institute like this? I'm afraid the government forces won't let it go, and maybe There's going to be a tough fight."
"Don't worry, I have already arranged everything." Tang Fang sighed: "The production and injection equipment of nano-neural robots are only available in the research institute, and Tang Lin's condition will become dangerous every day. Whether Yuan will shrink and weaken again, I cannot bet on his life."
Claire nodded, walked lightly, and walked slowly to his side, pouring steaming coffee into the bottomless cup.
The rich fragrance diffused for a while, and the hot air circled back and forth in the air, pulling out wisps of steam mist.
Tang Fang reached out to take the coffee cup, his eyes fell on the rippling coffee, and he fell into deep thought. Bai Hao and Roy rested under his strong orders, and Tang Yun also fell asleep.
Howson was drinking, but Aros and Grant were working with Valentine and others to study related equipment for nano-neural robots. As for Freya, she was still in a deep sleep.
According to Emma's calculations, it would take about three weeks for the nano-neural robots to cover all the nerve branches in Tang Lin's body. After that, it is necessary to adjust various operating parameters of the plug-in system to achieve the goal of perfect integration with the nano-neural network. This process will take about three to five days.
How to drag through a whole month? Also, the Shangui Commando suffered a complete defeat, but what cards will Rector's army play next?
...
1 hour later, Quentin Island, the Governor's Mansion Chamber.
The same room, the same number of people, except that the representative of the Capital Military Region was replaced by Waters Adams from Dunbar Taylor.
"What? The entire squadron of the Mountain Ghost Commando was wiped out, and not a single one escaped?" Viscount Roger frowned deeply. I learned some enemy intelligence, but Melville's report was too sensational.
Killed Rector's elite special forces with just a few mines without sending a single soldier? Doesn't this mean in disguise that the government's high-tech equipment is a pile of junk in front of the enemy? How can we fight this battle!
"Your Excellency, to deal with these rebels, we should concentrate our superior forces and defeat them in one go. Otherwise, we may have endless troubles." It was Tennyson who spoke.
No one would be happy to be pulled up to work in the middle of the night. However, when he saw that the head of the Capital Military Region was replaced by Waters from Dunbar. Brigadier General Tennyson, who had been yawning a lot, regained his energy immediately, and even his work attitude became more positive.
"Tennyson, I'm afraid this method is inappropriate. The enemy's fighting power is very strong, there is no doubt about it, not to mention whether a large-scale attack can really wipe them out. The location of the research institute is in the northern suburbs of Wendenbadt. Once a full-scale war breaks out, the entire capital Will be caught in the flames of war, isn't this kind of loss a little bit bigger?"
The person who spoke was Brigadier General Camaro, who was in charge of the security force of the entire Quentin Island. Although he was under the name of Roger, he was Lancelot's confidant. Tanis didn't dare to offend him. Although he was displeased, he wisely chose to remain silent.
"Kunna, what do you think?" Roger looked at the only woman among the seven.
"The loss of Wendenbart, and even the casualties of civilians, are secondary. The first priority right now is to ensure the safety of Professor Faraday. In my opinion, it is better to find a way to contact the leader of the enemy. Fan, no matter what method is used, whether it is cheating, cheating, or exchanging benefits, the primary goal is to rescue the professor first."
"Well said." Roger nodded in satisfaction, and then changed his tone: "However, before that, we must let them see the military's powerful strength, so that they can gain a favorable situation in the next operation."
"Your Excellency is wise." Tennyson flattered him.
Waters was very clever for a while: "To make them realize the gap in overall strength, they must be beheaded by thunder."
"Oh? Waters, since you said that, you must have a solution, tell me." Roger asked with a smile. RS
