One Thousand Six Hundred and Nineteen: Face the Challenge Head On
The muzzle of the gun jumped happily, and dense bullets flew across the sky. The swarm of insects that were about to rush into the storage room were hit head-on. The bullets that penetrated the giant insects left blood holes with blood gushing out. The giant insects that were shot twisted awkwardly as if they were electrocuted, and died under the muzzle of the gun in the blink of an eye.
The main entrance of the storage room was narrow. Even if you squeezed hard on the front and side, you could only arrange three people. The soldiers could only line up in two rows, front and back, with the muzzles of the guns in the back row on the shoulders of the front row, doubling the external firepower!
But this was not enough. Several people quickly jumped onto the piled boxes and shot at the door from a high position.
The corridor outside the door was only three meters wide, and the distance was too close. The bullets hit the wall and inevitably ricocheted. The bullets flew around with a chirping sound. Even the giant insects that were not outside the door might be hit by ricochets.
The battle was not sudden, but it was fierce and surprising. However, in the blink of an eye, the newly loaded real magazines were completely emptied. In just over ten seconds, Luo Qi, who was blocking the door, had already used up three magazines. The time to change the magazine was longer than the time to shoot. If it were not for the strong support of others, he would have been knocked down by the springtail.
In just over ten seconds, the insect corpses outside the door were piled up layer by layer, and they were already more than one meter thick, almost blocking the door.
Ye Han clearly realized that there must be more than a few insect people sent by the aliens!
The situation is very obvious. If all the insect people are dead, the swarm will push for control. It is impossible to keep attacking like now. The only explanation is that there are other insect people secretly controlling the swarm!
Although we have the advantage now, there are only springtails outside the door. It won’t be long before shield insects and digging insects will join the battle. At that time, it will not be the current situation.
Thinking of this, Ye Han waved to a soldier who couldn’t squeeze in, took the grenade launcher in his hand, aimed at the door and emptied the magazine in one breath.
After throwing the launcher to the soldier, he took off the grenade on his body and threw it out of the door while roaring on the radio, arranging the soldiers to take turns to throw grenades out of the door.
High explosive, flash, steel ball... Various grenades were used in turn, which greatly reduced the pressure on Luo Qi and others, and the attack intensity of the swarm was significantly reduced.
Ye Han quietly breathed a sigh of relief and changed the communication frequency band: "Xiao Yuan, how is the situation there? Has the swarm changed?"
"The swarm is retreating to the North Third District, repeat, the swarm is retreating to the North Third District!"
"Good!" Ye Han waved his fist fiercely, "Seize the opportunity to blast the passage and trap the swarm in the North Third District as much as possible. Do you understand?"
"Understood, seize the opportunity to blast the passage and trap the swarm in the North Third District!" Xiao Yuan gritted his teeth and repeated the order.
After the communication ended, Xiao Yuan picked up a pack of explosives and rushed into the passage without hesitation: "Follow me!"
The soldiers picked up the pack of explosives without hesitation and followed Xiao Yuan into the occupied area.
No one expected that the swarm would retreat to the North Third District. Most of the mechanical spiders that had been in place were discovered by the evacuated springtails. It was too late to release the drone now. The drone itself had a detonation module, so once the drone was destroyed, it would be impossible to remotely detonate the explosives!
Xiao Yuan almost regretted it. Why didn't he insert a remote detonator on the explosives?
Ye Han didn't know about this situation, but Xiao Yuan knew it very well. He could explain the situation to Ye Han, but the military situation was urgent and the order had been issued. As a soldier, no matter whether he was facing a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, he had to face the difficulties.
Xiao Yuan and others were determined to die, but after rushing into the occupied area, they found that the swarm ran faster than they thought. It was only about seven or eight minutes from the start of the war, but the giant insects in the occupied area had almost run away, leaving only a few slow-moving shield insects still crawling slowly.
Xiao Yuan was overjoyed. He rushed forward and made a gesture. The soldiers immediately split up and took action, with two people responsible for one passage on average.
Half a minute later, everyone was in place, and Xiao Yuan reported to Ye Han immediately.
At this time, Ye Han had led the troops out of the storage room and was gradually advancing along the corridor.
After receiving the news, he immediately ordered Xiao Yuan to detonate.
There were several loud noises in succession, and smoke and dust filled the air. The increased explosive pack successfully destroyed the passage, and the North Third District was completely isolated.
Xiao Yuan laughed excitedly, but before he was excited, he was poked several times by the soldiers around him.
Xiao Yuan turned his head and saw the soldier pointing to the back. When he turned around, he was shocked to find that more than a dozen springtails, two shield insects and three digging insects appeared not far away.
With a helpless sigh, Xiao Yuan raised his rifle and swung his arm: "Attention, all units, guard the passage!"
A loud response came from the radio immediately: "Group One, understand!"
"Group Two, understand!"
"Group Three, understand!"
Xiao Yuan didn't know that not all passages had bugs. He had the most bugs and the most complete species, but he had only two people here, just like other groups.
Fortunately, there were not many bugs. The two people blocked the collapsed passage, and the two rifles fired alternately, knocking down the springtails that rushed over one by one.
The two people's movements were agile and fast, but the speed of the springtails was also amazing. Half of the dozen springtails rushed in front of the two people.
At the critical moment, Xiao Yuan suddenly jumped up, more than three meters high, and the whole person lay horizontally in the air to avoid the springtail's attack. The rifle fired downwards, and after the last few bullets were used up, it just happened to kill the springtail.
The other soldier also reacted quickly. He leaped more than three meters away with a leap, rolled on the ground, stood up and pulled the trigger, running quickly while firing, pointing his rifle in all directions, and hitting every springtail that pounced on him with several bullets.
If these bullets failed to hit the vital points, the damage to the springtails would be very small, and it would be difficult to affect the movement of the springtails. However, the impact of the bullets could slow down the springtails' attack speed, giving the soldiers time to dodge.
After landing, Xiao Yuan simply put away his rifle, took off the steel bar and swung it hard, and swung the springtails that pounced on him without any suspense.
When Xiao Yuan swung the third springtail away, he found that all the springtails had fallen to the ground, and they were only half dead.
The shells of shield insects and digging insects are relatively thick. Although they were hit by a lot of stray bullets in the previous battle, none of them penetrated the shells.
The three digging insects were smarter than the shield insects and had already run far away. Only two shield insects were left foolishly drilling into the passage.
Xiao Yuan smacked his lips, and without wasting any bullets, he calmly walked to the shield worm, took off the grenade, pulled out the pull ring, and stuffed it directly into the shield worm's mouth, then immediately dodged.
The shield worm accepted the grenade and actually swallowed it. A few seconds later, there was a muffled sound in the shield worm's stomach, and the worm's abdomen exploded instantly, and the worm's blood and internal organs flew everywhere.
