Chapter 571 The Beast's Nest in the Desert
Matthew came to Li Yuanhong's office excitedly, but was rejected. What made Matthew feel even worse was that Li Yuanhong left unexpectedly, and he left without knowing the date of his return. This made Matthew feel... Bad feeling. So Matthew hurriedly ran towards the city gate. As a result, he was dressed too modestly and his leather shoes were not suitable for running. He almost twisted his foot halfway.
When Matthew ran to the city wall and looked up at the sea outside the city, there was no trace of the aircraft carrier anywhere. There was not even a bird on the sea. It was obvious that Li Yuanhong had left on the aircraft carrier.
Matthew felt like he had been tricked, but he had nowhere to vent. He could only let out a long sigh, droop his head, and go back.
At this time, Li Yuanhong was sitting in the control room of the spacecraft, and Fatty Lu across from him was laughing: "Brother Li, how could you come up with such a bad idea and fly pigeons so happily, hahaha!"
"Oh, I was forced too. You saw the posture yesterday. If I didn't give him a satisfactory answer, he wouldn't give way even to death. You know how uncomfortable it is to sleep in a car. So I had no choice but to agree!" Li Yuanhong said in a forced and helpless tone.
"It turns out that Brother Li wanted to go back to bed early. I thought Brother Li was deliberately playing tricks on that kid." Fatty Lu speculated.
"Am I that bad? Besides, he wants to blatantly investigate our warships. I have to give him some hope." Li Yuanhong said.
"Brother Li, you still say you're not bad, but you're just bad." Fatty Lu joked.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, where are we now?" Li Yuanhong glanced at the virtual illusion in the center of the control room and asked.
Now the illusion shows that the surrounding Gobi is the Gobi. There are no landmark buildings at all, and no living objects can be seen.
"We are now in the hinterland of Australia, in the eastern section of the Gibson Desert. We will reach a lake in a while and the scenery will change." Fatty Lu said while looking at the recorder in his hand.
However, Fatty Lu's answer did not help Li Yuanhong in any way. Li Yuanhong was very unfamiliar with Australia's terrain, which made Li Yuanhong miss Yan Peiqi. With that little girl, he might be able to tell him about the current geography. environment.
However, the last time his father-in-law gave him a lesson, Li Yuanhong's idea of taking Yan Peiqi was eliminated, and he could only let the little girl stay in Spring City.
However, there was no guide, and there were satellites in the sky to help with positioning, so Li Yuanhong would not get lost in this desert.
While Li Yuanhong was thinking about Yan Peiqi, suddenly the warning light of the spacecraft came on.
"Fat man, what's going on?" Li Yuanhong was stunned. Why did the warning light suddenly come on? Is there an intruder?
"Brother Li, it's not that there was an invasion. The spacecraft discovered a large mutant beast's nest within fifty kilometers." Fatty Lu replied.
"The mutant beast's lair? Send the image." Li Yuanhong said.
After a while, the central virtual imaging system changed. It was no longer a three-dimensional image of the spacecraft, but a mountain. It was not very high, but at least six or seven hundred meters high. The mountain was very steep, and the mountain was bare, almost There is no vegetation, but there are many caves near the top of the mountain. Near these caves, many birds come and go, some with brown feathers and some with golden feathers. They are not small. The wingspan of brown-feathered birds can reach up to ten. Several meters long, and those birds with golden feathers can be twenty meters long after spreading their wings.
These birds have sharp claws and sharp beaks. They are meat-eaters at first glance. However, there is a desert nearby and there are no wild animals at all. However, there are only white birds in the nest. How do these birds survive?
Just when Li Yuanhong was wondering how these birds could survive, suddenly several vehicles came down from the foot of the mountain. The vehicles were pulled by mutant beasts. There were many wolf cavalrymen with weapons around the vehicles. The giant wolves that these wolf cavalrymen sat on were as many as five in total. Six meters long, it is taller than any mutant wolf Li Yuanhong has ever seen. Its gray mane and cold eyes make people shudder when they stand there, not to mention the people riding on these giant wolves. Their fangs were exposed, and their faces were full of flesh. What's more, some of them had horns on their heads. It was obvious at a glance that these powerful people were not humans on earth, but aliens.
These aliens, the orcs introduced by the official Naga people in the information given to Li Yuanhong, all of them have the blood of beasts and are born warriors, and most of them are born with a certain degree of immunity to magic. Many magical attacks have almost no effect on them, but they are strong and muscular, and their strength is definitely not comparable to humans. Moreover, they are naturally close to mutant beasts, and they can raise many mutant beasts in captivity to fight for them.
This team of wolf cavalry was to deliver food to the mutated birds flying on the cliff. When the birds saw the mutant beasts approaching, they flew down one after another, landed on the ground and kept shouting at the wolf cavalry. It was obvious that they were starving. .
The team of wolf cavalry came to the feeding place and opened the canvas covering the car, revealing the cargo loaded on the car. It was pieces of raw meat, fresh raw meat.
Most of this raw meat comes from herbivorous mutated animals, such as ostriches, mutated sheep, buffalo, and even kangaroos, but Li Yuanhong saw from the screen that these raw meats were actually mixed with human corpses, and there were quite a lot of them.
Seeing this, Li Yuanhong frowned. No matter how cute this animal is, once it eats human flesh, it will become an invisible killer, because once it eats human flesh, it will classify humans as food. Category, from then on will salivate for human flesh.
Some scientists once investigated that most of the man-eating tigers accidentally captured humans when they were injured. From then on, the staple food of these tigers was no longer wild animals in the mountains and forests, but humans. Of course, this is different from It is also related to the fact that humans are easy to catch, but in the process of animal protection, once a wild animal eats a person, no matter how precious the animal is, it will be killed without mercy.
Now that Li Yuanhong encountered this nest of mutated birds, which had begun to feed on humans, Li Yuanhong classified them as must-kills. However, Li Yuanhong did not impulsively send out a team to attack immediately, because Li Yuanhong felt that this group Birds, not so simple.
"Fat man, first send out drones to conduct a trial attack to see the attack power of these birds before making a plan." Li Yuanhong ordered the fat man.
"Don't worry, Brother Li, aren't they just some mutated big birds? I guarantee that as soon as these drones arrive, these mutated beasts will be turned into dead birds." Fatty Lu said nonchalantly.
"Don't underestimate the enemy." Li Yuanhong said.
"Don't worry, Brother Li!" Fatty Lu didn't care at all.
Following Fatty Lu's order, a dozen drones flew out of the spacecraft and flew straight to the bird's nest fifty kilometers away.
The wolf cavalry removed all the fresh meat from the car and threw it into an open space. After they finished doing this, they sat on the big rock next to them and started chatting.
The mutated birds lowered their heads to peck at the fresh meat thrown on the ground. However, suddenly these mutated birds raised their heads and looked into the distant sky, which was exactly the direction the drone was flying from.
When the orcs saw that these mutated birds stopped eating, they stopped chatting. One of the leading orcs roared twice at the wolves who also looked up at the sky in the distance. The wolf also roared back twice. .
Just like that, the orc also raised his head and looked towards the direction of the drone. At this time, the drone had not yet shown its shadow, and it was still several kilometers away from these mutated birds.
This phenomenon made Li Yuanhong frown even more tightly. These orcs could actually communicate directly with mutant beasts. This was bad news.
The speed of the drone was very fast. In less than a minute, the drone appeared in the sky. When the leading orc saw the drone, he roared twice at the mutated birds, and the birds spread out one by one. The wings rose into the sky and flew straight towards the drone.
Both sides are very fast. The speed of those birds is not slower than the speed of drones. You must know that drones are not inferior to the flying speed of fighter jets. In general, few birds in nature can reach such speeds. But these mutated birds did it.
The two sides continued to approach, and finally the distance between the two sides was less than a thousand meters. Fatty Lu issued an order: "Attack!"
As the order was issued, air-to-air micro missiles were launched from the drone. Although these micro missiles were only as thick as a Coke can and less than half a meter in length, their power and speed were definitely no less powerful than aerial bombs before the end of the world. , this is a magic missile that has been transformed by magic.
The missiles were launched and flew towards the mutant birds at a speed exceeding the speed of sound. However, before these missiles came within 20 meters of these mutant birds, those golden mutant birds suddenly released lightning nets, killing all the mutant birds. The missiles were all shrouded in it, and then the missiles were detonated by the power grid one by one, bursting into flames, but these explosion flames did not harm these mutant birds at all.
And those gray mutant birds quickly passed through the explosion zone, and flew over the drone before the drone sent out the second wave of missiles. These mutant birds stretched out their claws or used their sharp beaks to attack the drone. , pecking at the drone. In an instant, no one picked up the fragile shell, and was attacked by these big birds. They lost power one by one, fell down, and exploded with a burst of fire on the ground.
From the time the two sides approached to the end of the battle, the entire time lasted less than a minute. These dozen drones were all scrapped without even knocking off a single bird feather. This result was unacceptable to Fatty Lu.
Fatty Lu was stunned for a few minutes, then suddenly jumped up: "Damn it, how did you operate it? These dozen planes didn't even shoot down a single mutant bird. How do you usually train? Today Don’t even feed me tonight!”
