One Thousand Six Hundred and Eighteen
The bugs did not launch an attack immediately, but curiously approached and used their blade feet to poke the mechanical spider, like a naughty child who found a fun toy.
The soldiers did not dare to be careless, and quickly controlled the spider to retract its mechanical limbs and carefully curled up.
As a result, the motionless spider aroused the bugs' interest, and they simply chopped it down with a knife, completely destroying the mechanical spider.
When the news was passed back to the headquarters, Luo Qi immediately made a suggestion: "Can the drone take the maintenance channel?"
This suggestion was immediately agreed by Xiao Yuan and Ouyang Ping, but after looking at the route map of the maintenance channel, they had to give up this idea.
The maintenance channel is too far from the main channel. Even if you successfully reach each residential area, you will inevitably encounter bugs after leaving the maintenance channel.
The first attempt ended in failure, but Ye Han and others did not give up. They launched several rounds of experiments in succession, and finally only one mechanical spider arrived at the designated location.
Although only one of the dozen mechanical spiders succeeded, it was a very good start. The people were deeply encouraged and continued to act. They didn't want the mechanical spiders that were already in place to attract the attention of the springtails. It seemed that they had a very deep interest in all things made by humans. As a result, all their efforts were wasted and several people had to get together to think of a new way.
It was difficult to do both of these things at the same time under the existing conditions, as they could not let the insects find them and had to place them in advance. After a long discussion, several people finally decided to give up the idea of placing them in advance and send out drones immediately after launching the action.
By that time, the attention of the insects was attracted by the feint troops, and the success rate of placing explosives was naturally greatly increased.
At this time, the soldiers sent to check the maintenance channel sent back the news that the channel was narrow, but the armor could pass sideways!
Ye Han's heart was relieved immediately. Without further delay, a series of orders were issued, and soon, the soldiers were ready.
At Ye Han's command, soldiers from several directions detonated explosives at the same time. The loud noise and vibration immediately attracted the attention of the insect swarm, and a large group of springtails quickly rushed to the explosion point. The first step of the plan was successfully implemented.
After the insect swarm left, more than 30 mechanical spiders carrying explosives set off at the same time, running at the fastest speed towards the passages leading to the North Third District from various districts.
Most spiders were discovered by springtails while running, and less than one-third of the spiders successfully reached the target in the end, but the explosives on each spider were enough to blow up a section of the passage, and more than a dozen spiders had exceeded the task.
As soon as the mechanical spiders were in place, Xiao Yuan, who was responsible for the feint attack, sent a signal that everything was going well.
Ye Han had led the team to the North Third District a long time ago, and was hiding in the maintenance passage with the soldiers waiting for the signal. After receiving Xiao Yuan's signal, Ye Han immediately opened the exit under his feet and jumped down in one step.
On the map provided by Director Qu, we can see that there is a very remote storage room under the exit. The exit is disguised as a ceiling. Unless you are familiar with the inside story, it is difficult to find this most special ceiling among hundreds of ceilings. The Marines have not yet reached the North Third District, otherwise it would have become a ruin long ago. It is hard to say whether this storage room still exists.
So far, Director Qu's judgment is still very correct. The insect swarm has indeed not found the maintenance passage, but as soon as Ye Han jumped out, he saw several insects standing at the other end of the storage room with stunned faces...
This is so embarrassing!
While the insects were still in a daze, Ye Han rushed to a pile of boxes in one step. While he was still in the air, he had already pulled out a pistol in his right hand and fired at the insects.
The insects reacted quickly, jumping away like quails whose nests were blown up, and each found a cover to fire at Ye Han.
Luo Qi, who was following Ye Han closely, had just jumped down and was hit by three silk lights. Although he failed to penetrate the armor, he also scared Luo Qi.
Luo Qi crouched on the ground, rolled all the way to the corner, raised his rifle and fired a burst of bullets.
Taking advantage of Luo Qi's repulsion, Ye Han took off the grenade and threw it.
The grenade fell right behind the insect man, with a muffled bang,
Luo Qi's eyes suddenly blurred... It was a stun bomb!
Ye Han and Luo Qi were protected by armor, the loud noise was useless, and the strong light could only make the armor "blind" for one or two seconds. When they both regained their sight, the insect men had already foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground. Even the light insects on their wrists were shaken off by the loud noise. They were weakly moving their insect limbs, but they couldn't stand up.
Ye Han was so surprised, how could this thing work so well against insects?
Luo Qi was also quite surprised, but the two reacted quickly, rushed to the insect man at the first time, and shot him without hesitation.
Are you kidding? The insects' endurance is far greater than that of humans. The loud noise that can make humans dizzy for a while, while the insects can only be dizzy for one-third of the time at most. If we don't kill them quickly, are we waiting for them to recover and launch an absolute counterattack?
At this time, the soldiers also jumped down. Ye Han immediately made a few gestures to them, and the soldiers immediately rushed to the main door of the storage room and set up a temporary defense line inside the door.
The construction quality of the underground city is good, and the sound insulation is also very good, but no matter how good the sound insulation is, it can't block the loud noise of more than 100 decibels. The insects nearby must have heard the noise.
Ye Han stepped on a light insect with one foot and crushed the front half of the light insect fiercely: "I said that the insects are not that smart!"
He only stepped on the front half of the light insect to avoid the chemical capsule in the belly of the light insect. If he crushed that thing, the explosion power would be no worse than a grenade.
Luo Qi said: "With so many insects, there must be more than just these insects!"
Ye Han looked at the main gate: "We must change our plan!" The swarm commanded by the Zergman is completely different from the swarm without the Zergman. He dared not underestimate such an opponent.
Luo Qi immediately said: "Captain, what do you say?"
Ye Han smiled bitterly: "What else can we do? We can use the opponent's trick against us!"
Since the plan has gone astray from the beginning, let's just keep going.
Ye Han immediately ordered Xiao Yuan not to blow up the passage for the time being, while Luo Qi received the opposite order, requiring him to lead the soldiers to create as much momentum as possible, and it would be best to attract all the giant insects in the occupied area back!
Luo Qi didn't quite understand what Ye Han wanted to do, but he knew how to execute the order. He was about to rush out with the soldiers, and the door of the storage room was suddenly pierced by a knife foot.
The battle began, and several soldiers fired randomly through the door. The bullets chiseled a large area of irregular bullet holes on the door, and the springtails that were about to tear the door apart were instantly turned into meat sieves, and they died as dead as they could.
Luo Qi rushed forward, kicked the iron door open, and pulled the trigger with the muzzle of the gun facing outward.
By the way, live ammunition can fire rifle grenades, please measure it yourself.
