Four Hundred and Ninety First Steps
Wolf worms are not crocodiles, and they have nothing to do with reptiles, but insects are by no means warm-blooded animals, so will the mobility of giant worms be affected by the ambient temperature?
You must know that this place is not far from the sand source, and it is barely considered a semi-desert area, and the temperature at midnight is only more than ten degrees. ΩE 』』Novel WwㄟW. 』1XIAOSHUO. COM
However, these thoughts just flashed through Ye Han's mind, and he immediately withdrew his distracted attention and continued to pay attention to the situation of the swarm.
There are more and more bugs, the front line has rushed within a hundred meters, the soldiers' regular burst fire has turned into a strafing fire, and the situation is developing in a direction that is not conducive to their own side.
Bian Ge reminded again: "Ye Han, withdraw!"
"Understood!" Ye Han didn't have the mind of the hardtop swarm, and ordered the troops to reverse after agreeing.
The distance between the two lines of defense was about one kilometer. Ye Han organized the team to shoot while retreating, and the team quickly withdrew within the effective range of the second line of defense.
Bian Ge ordered the troops to shoot without hesitation. Nearly 30 armored vehicles, including logistics vehicles, fired at the same time. The shells and bullets passed through the gap in the armored workshop and hit the wolf worm accurately.
The distance between vehicles on the first line of defense is as high as 300 meters, and the armored vehicles of the mobile soldiers have a friend-or-foe identification system. Once the muzzle is aimed at one's own personnel or vehicles, it will automatically alarm and lock the weapon to prevent the possibility of accidental injury.
However, in order to avoid accidental injury from ricochets, the second line of defense was very careful when shooting, and never fired near the vehicle in front.
The attack of the insect swarm was abruptly suppressed by the doubled defensive firepower in an instant, and the momentum of the charge was suffocated.
But bugs are bugs after all, they don't know what fear is, they only know to follow the instinct to rush to the sound and flash.
Purely from the perspective of biological weapons, the wolf worm was undoubtedly successful, but as the enemy's human beings, such an opponent was the most troublesome enemy.
Judging from a personal point of view, Ye Han does not feel that the swarms are a threat to the power station at all. It is a nuclear power plant, one of the highest scientific and technological achievements of mankind. Both the chimney and the factory building are of the highest construction standard. As long as the gate is closed tightly, the swarm will attack do not go in.
It's just that although the nuclear power plant itself is not afraid of swarms, the supporting substations and power transmission facilities are not. Once the swarms enter the substation, the consequences will be disastrous.
Ye Han knows that the installed power of the nuclear power plant is extremely high, and he also knows that the power plant can control the output power of the reactor.
It is even more known that even if the reactor is stopped, it will take three to five years to cool down slowly.
His physics level is limited, and he can't figure out if there is a problem with the substation, whether the reactor can stop the power supply, and what the consequences will be if it can't be stopped.
The fierce firepower temporarily repelled the charge of the swarm, but the steady stream of wolf worms quickly charged up again, pounced on the defense line with an even more ferocious attitude.
Not only that, but a group of wolves bypassed the second line of defense from the north side of the line of defense, and rushed straight to the power station behind.
Bian Ge dispatched two armored vehicles to intercept them in time, but he would be lost if he stayed for a long time. He had to contact the power station again to inquire about the detailed progress of the project.
The colonel's answer was very clear: "Persist for a while, and it will be fine in a while!"
Bian Ge was so angry, how long is a while? It doesn't take a while for the bugs to break through the defense line, you know?
The swarm has already approached the defense line, and now retreating, the swarm will also move forward with the retreat of the defense line, and it will not take long to flood the construction site behind.
If you stick to your spot, the swarms that break through the line of defense will immediately overwhelm the armored vehicles, and some wolf worms will inevitably pass through the line of defense and go straight to the construction site.
There is no difference in the results of the two choices, only a slight difference in timing.
Bian Ge didn't know which option was the most beneficial, so he simply ordered Ye Han to stop retreating and stick to the spot to attract firepower.
The ten armored vehicles led by Ye Han were instantly overwhelmed by wolves. This was the second time Ye Han was trapped in an armored vehicle by wolves.
He immediately ordered the troops under his command to stop firing, and fired at the swarm with parallel machine guns.
The second line of defense commanded by Bian Ge retreated slowly, and the construction site outside the power plant became clearer and clearer. The oblate silver metal balls had been installed on the cylinders they saw when they left the plant, and they looked strange. What is the use.
The swarm had already entered the range of the machine gun turrets, and the machine gun turrets outside the power plant opened fire automatically. Although there were a lot of machine gun turrets and their firepower was good, they were somewhat powerless against the swarm.
The movement of the machine gun turret caught the attention of the colonel. He immediately contacted Bian Ge and said in an undeniable tone: "Captain Bian, you must hold on, just a little longer, just a little while!"
Bian Ge said calmly: "I can take a step forward, but I can't guarantee that I can block all the bugs."
"I just need a moment..."
"The right to choose is not in my hands, but in the hands of the worm!" Bian Ge interrupted the colonel without hesitation.
"How far away?" Such a nonsensical remark suddenly came from the radio.
"Half to go!" said another voice.
"What about the time? How much longer?"
"Five minutes, ten minutes at most!"
"Did you hear that? Captain Bian, no matter what, please hold on for another ten minutes!"
Bian Ge sighed, "I will do my best."
The colonel was silent for a moment, then suddenly roared angrily: "Everyone takes guns to the battlefield..."
The communication was interrupted, and Bian Ge ordered: "Fire with all your strength, and use all the weapons that can fire!"
The weapons on the armored support vehicle were limited. A soldier had an idea, took off the grenade and threw it out of the vehicle. Everyone woke up and threw the grenade out of the vehicle together.
The vehicles were not only equipped with anti-personnel grenades, but also stun grenades and smoke grenades. The soldiers threw them around in a daze. Explosions in front of the defense line flickered frequently, and then the smoke rose, gradually covering all the vehicles.
Although the smoke blocked the wolf worm's sight, it couldn't block the wolf worm's hearing. The worm swarm heard the sound in the smoke and identified their position, and they jumped onto the armored vehicle accurately.
The good news is that the power plant was also blocked by the smoke, and the swarm couldn't see the power plant for the time being, and none of the wolf worms that jumped into the smoke broke through the line of defense.
The colonel immediately notified Bian Ge of the situation and asked Bian Ge to continue to release smoke bombs.
The smoke bombs thrown just now were just the soldiers rushing to the hospital in a hurry. Although all the armored vehicles were filled with wolves and could not open the top cover to throw grenades, there was a set of smoke catapults on the turrets of each vehicle.
With Bian Ge's order, all the armored vehicles fired smoke bombs at a volley, and each vehicle fired at least three smoke bombs. The smoke that had just started to dissipate quickly became thicker, and even gradually spread towards the power plant.
