One Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty-Eight
The explosive pack was still in the air, and the swarm of insects had already rushed out from the fork in the road. The insect in the front hit the steel pipe behind the intersection, and the speed of the swarm of insects slowed down.
More insects rushed out, stepping on the dying insects and continued to rush forward.
Ye Han saw the insects, and the insects also saw the rope bridge above their heads. Several stinging insects had already set up their positions and were about to spit out the bone spurs.
At this time, the explosive pack was about to fall into the swarm of insects. Ye Han silently said "baibai" and sent out the detonation signal.
Boom--
With a loud bang, the explosive pack exploded into a brilliant fireball in the air about five meters above the ground. Because it was just an explosive pack, there were no shrapnel or steel balls, and no giant insect was penetrated by foreign objects in the explosion.
But this explosive pack was large and full, and the amount was sufficient. The fireball of the explosion instantly filled the three-way intersection, and the shock wave ravaged the three short streets without suspense. No matter which direction the insects were, they were blown into rolling gourds by the strong shock wave. The lucky ones rolled all the way and flew at least more than ten meters away;
The unlucky ones took off directly, and finally crashed into whatever place they hit. Many insects were extremely unlucky and crashed directly into the steel pipe pointing obliquely to the sky. If they didn't die, they were only half dead.
The few insects that hit the steel pipe in advance were even worse. Originally, the steel pipe only pierced the insect shell, but it was blown by the shock wave and hit by other insects, and the steel pipe pierced through it neatly.
The insect swarm's offensive was destroyed by the explosion, but the power of the explosion was a bit excessive. The rope bridge in the air was also affected by the shock wave and shook violently. The soldiers on the bridge were like experiencing an 8-magnitude earthquake. They were so shocked that they grabbed the rope railings one by one, wishing to tie themselves to the bridge.
Fortunately, the rope bridge was not made of ordinary materials, and there were special forces guarding on both sides, so nothing went wrong. After the shock wave ended, Ye Han immediately urged the soldiers to cross the bridge quickly.
The soldiers didn't want to stay on the bridge for a second. Ye Han didn't need to urge them at all. They all quickened their pace. Some soldiers even ran and kept urging others to hurry up.
Who dared to slow down when it came to their lives?
Fortunately, the slowest wounded had already crossed the bridge, and the others couldn't be much slower, so the speed of passing was greatly increased.
However, one wave was not over, and another wave rose. After this period of buffering, the incendiary bomb thrown into the stairwell had burned out, and a giant insect suddenly rushed out of the stairwell and pounced on the crowd with its fangs and claws.
Ye Han shot the insect with one shot,
and then didn't care whether there were any insects in the stairwell. He pointed the gun at the stairwell and fired randomly, firing all the bullets in the gun in one breath, and took out two grenades and threw them in.
It's a pity that he didn't have a flamethrower in his hand, otherwise he would definitely give the insect some color.
At this time, several soldiers who had not yet reached the rope bridge realized what had happened. Several of them took off their glory bombs and threw them into the stairwell.
Regardless of whether there were bugs or not, these incendiary bombs could at least block the traffic for a while.
Ye Han immediately gestured to remind the soldiers to cross the bridge quickly.
The soldiers quickened their pace and soon all withdrew to the opposite side.
After removing the rope bridge, Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief, took off the iron hook and threw it down. The special forces on the opposite side quickly pulled the rope bridge up to the rooftop and put it away.
Ye Han looked around and said one word on the radio: "Withdraw!"
After receiving the order, the special forces who completed the mission immediately withdrew... Before the next mission began, everyone could rest for a while.
When Ouyang Ping rushed over, he deliberately lay on the edge of the rooftop and looked down, and then walked slowly to Ye Han's side: "Why did the bugs learn to be good today?"
In the past few days, the bugs attacked layer by layer along the short street, but today there were almost no bugs on the street. The contrast was really big.
Ye Han said, "We've been bombed by neutron bombs once, how can we not behave?"
Ouyang Ping was stunned, and then he showed a look of sudden enlightenment: "So that's what happened!"
Ye Han glanced at him: "What do you think?"
Ouyang Ping was a little embarrassed: "I thought there were too many roadblocks on the street!"
The short street was full of roadblocks set up by the defenders, and the direction of the fork in the road facing the fork in the fork was full of firepower points. The frontal impact of the Zerg swarm was huge and progress was slow.
So, he thought that the Zerg swarm captured the fortress building to avoid roadblocks and firepower points.
But Ye Han gave him another idea: hide from neutron bombs!
The round of neutron bombs a few days ago brought far more than death to the Zerg swarm, and also deeply implanted fear in their hearts. If the Zerg swarm still launched a full-scale attack like before, the defenders would inevitably use neutron bombs at a critical moment, and it was unknown how many Zerg would die by then.
Zergs don't have brains, but Zerg people have normal brains. Since the defenders are not afraid of neutron bombs when hiding in the fork, it must be no problem for the Zerg to hide in it!
According to this line of thought, the actions of the swarm are easy to understand.
In addition, Ye Han has a guess in his mind that Ouyang Ping does not know, that is, the swarm of insects fight for the fortress building by building, most likely to capture prisoners!
However, as soon as the swarm of insects approached Funing, the command center evacuated all residents living in the north of the city, and soon after, all residents in the east of the city were evacuated. The swarm of insects can only capture a few soldiers of the defenders at most. Capturing prisoners on a large scale? That's impossible!
To be honest, the defenders' deployment is mostly aimed at the short street, and the defense facilities inside the fortress building are far inferior to those outdoors, which makes the defenders very passive in the battle.
But the swarm of insects does not go on the ground!
At the beginning, it was because the sea water flooded the basement and the sea water contained radioactive dust left by the nuclear explosion. The defenders had to abandon the basement and the first floor and retreat to the second floor or above for temporary shelter.
As a result, the insect swarm dug directly into the basement between the two fortress buildings and started a battle for the fortress buildings.
After several rounds of fierce fighting, a group of fortress buildings in the north of the city fell into the hands of the insect swarm.
It’s not that the defenders don’t work hard. Every attack by the insect swarm has to face the stubborn resistance of the defenders. The defenders in each building have to retreat after running out of ammunition and food. If the defenders have enough With so much ammunition, those fortresses can’t be lost at all!
But it's too late to say anything now. The defenders can only strengthen the guards of the remaining fortress buildings. Those that have fallen into the hands of the insect swarm can only be let live by the insects first.
The current situation is that the enemy and ourselves are intertwined. Every building on the front line may be the next target of the swarm!
This is only three days. The current situation is that alien landing ships are docking every day, and countless giant insects are landing every day. Although the insect swarm has suffered huge losses, 80% of the aliens do not care about this loss, so the insects The group's attack never stopped.
Ye Han believes that the swarm's attack is still in its initial stage, and the crazy attack will continue for a while. There is no hope of winning or losing this battle in a short time.
