The armor-piercing warhead of the individual rocket penetrated the outer shell of the chariot with an explosion. The chariot's belly exploded violently, breaking through its shell. The giant chariot finally turned over and fell to the ground, completely losing its ability to move.
The gunshots stopped and the explosions subsided. Everyone could not calm down as they stared at the car bug with its intestines and stomach rotten. Everyone's breathing was as heavy as thunder.
The armies of the United States and France officially joined forces, but the atmosphere after the meeting was awkward.
Constantine wanted to carry out Thomas's order immediately, but he felt that the situation at hand was not suitable for doing so. After much thinking, Constantine finally announced in front of a dozen French soldiers that Bruno would be relieved of his command, and then the two armies joined forces. Soldiers at one place, continue to explore alien warships.
The French soldiers were very dissatisfied with Thomas's order. Fortunately, Bruno knew the general situation and restrained the French soldiers to obey the orders. This did not cause a conflict between the two armies and the exploration operation could continue.
Although Constantine dismissed Bruno from his post, the French soldiers still followed Bruno's lead. Constantine did not force it and turned a blind eye to the French soldiers.
Having learned from the mistakes of the car bugs, everyone was much more cautious in their next actions, especially when exploring the cabin.
According to the report of Bruno and others, Constantine believed that the cabin containing the slime was probably a cabin specially used to hold carriage bugs, and its function was similar to a stable. In subsequent operations, everyone found several more bug stables, but no more were found. A car bug.
Not just car bugs, even after searching the entire ship, no living creatures were found.
The two armies spent more than three hours searching the remnant ship. Finally, they summarized the situation and found a total of fourteen alien corpses, one car bug (killed), and various alien aliens with unknown functions. Star items do not count.
Constantine also led the soldiers to find the cockpit of the alien spacecraft, but all the equipment was completely destroyed. Not to mention that humans did not understand the alien equipment, but they did understand it, and they probably did not have the ability to repair the equipment.
The same situation occurred in several other important cabins, but the only one that everyone could recognize was the cockpit. No one knew what the functions of the other damaged cabins were.
However, after summarizing the data, Constantine carefully calculated based on the layout of the cabins and calculated that this battleship can carry at least 500 to 700 aliens, but there are only 12 visible corpses, so where are the other aliens? Already?
Not only Constantine in the front had doubts, but Thomas in the back was also doubtful.
Since he couldn't think of a reason, he simply called a group of staff to brainstorm to see if they could find any useful clues.
After some discussion, something was actually discussed - judging from the situation in the alien battleship, there must be more than one car bug domesticated by the aliens, but only one was found in the battleship, so the aliens were very confused. Probably left on a buggy.
The staff believe that it is unlikely that aliens who have just arrived will control the ant colony once they land. Although the car bugs are powerful, they have no advantage when facing tens of millions of giant ants. In addition, the car bugs are good at digging holes. The aliens The likelihood of burrowing away on a buggy is high.
The worms are so big that the burrows they dig cannot be small. If the burrows left by the worms can be found near the incident site, it is not impossible to track aliens.
With the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live doctor, Thomas issued an order to search the cave in front of Constantine. Constantine immediately mobilized the coalition forces of the two countries to prepare to launch a pull-type search near the battleship.
The forest is full of eager giant ants, and the search must rely on armored vehicles and poisonous smoke bombs to proceed smoothly. In order to save time, Constantine and his American soldiers set off directly by helicopter. It took several hours for the armored vehicle to arrive. Initially, The search had to be carried out by the French.
But because of Thomas's order, the relationship between the two parties was very tense, and Constantine could not bear the consequences of disobeying him again.
In order to prevent the French soldiers from being idle, Constantine promised the French soldiers that as long as they cooperated well,
After returning home, he made sure to intercede for Bruno and skillfully talked about a lot of things like making up for his mistakes. In short, he spent a lot of time and finally mobilized the enthusiasm of the French army and launched a preliminary search.
Constantine and his American soldiers were not idle, and started searching directly with poisonous smoke bombs. Although they were not safe in an armored vehicle, the possibility of being attacked by giant ants was not high.
The armored vehicles were already moving forward and Al Qaeda was boarding. It only took a few hours to find a spot and walk around to kill time.
Unfortunately, the soldiers circled the battleship and couldn't find any clues.
The lush vegetation in the rainforest makes it difficult to move around, and the bugs are so large that they should leave very obvious traces when leaving.
But it was more than two months ago that the alien warship crashed. The plants in the rainforest grew rapidly. It took two weeks, not to mention more than two months, and it would be difficult to find any traces.
The news from the front could not be concealed from anyone at all. The news that the search operation was deadlocked was quickly learned by the command center in Djibouti, and the Fang base not far away also received the news.
Soon after, Fang took the initiative to provide a clue: based on the experience of the Maple City incident, the car bugs probably left from the bottom of the alien battleship.
So Constantine and others had to return to the alien battleship and carefully check the bottom compartment, especially those places that might be exits, which were the top priority of the search.
In addition, Thomas transferred the two closest teams to support Constantine. Once the troops were in position, the search force was immediately doubled.
Thomas even considered asking Fang to join, but as soon as the idea popped into his mind, he was immediately rejected.
Just kidding, if Fang is brought into the scene at this time, wouldn't all the previous rejections be in vain?
An hour later, the transport plane arrived as scheduled and dropped the armored vehicle near the alien warship.
Not long after the plane returned, heavy rains came as expected, and the search operation was forced to stop. All the armored vehicles returned, and the outer shell of the battleship was directly blown open to drive the armored vehicles in. It was a strong bunker that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. There was no need to look for a place to hide from the rain as usual. .
During the heavy rain, the ant colony launched several waves of offensive, but they were all defeated by the powerful defense of poisonous smoke bombs.
At the same time, two troops who received the rescue order were moving closer to Constantine. One of them was an Italian troops located more than 60 kilometers away in the southwest.
The Italians had just finished lunch when they received the order and were preparing to find a hiding place before the heavy rain came. The Italians who received the order were not moved at all, and they quickly found a spacious cave.
