Chapter 171 Chapter 5.17 The Second Heaven-Struck Dragon
On September 18, Pandora Era, Jianye's dragon-slaying expedition had already set out.
Compared with the repeated preparations before the start of a war by the Wei Keng Group, it would take several months at a time, and even one or two more years to prepare when new situations arise.
Jianye's war system moves much faster, and the armed forces here maintain the attribute of external projection all year round.
In Jianye Port, six river defense warships ranging from 1,000 tons to 3,000 tons were driven out of the shipyard's warehouse. The hull is white, with new paint just painted, and a 30mm naval gun stands on the bow, and multiple machine guns are installed on both sides.
Such equipment is a warship before the Pandora Era, belonging to an old ship from two hundred years ago, and it was not originally used for river defense. After all, in the Pandora Era, East Asia had good public security, and these old ships were left by the maritime police department of that year.
Over the years, only a few modifications have been made. First, the chimney has been enlarged. The power furnace is still diesel-powered, but it may be civilian-grade.
The warehouse for storing supplies inside is used to store combat mechanical beasts, and the water cannon in front has been changed to a 30mm machine gun. This is definitely a high-level weapon on the rolling Yangtze River.
…
On the morning of the 21st, the whistle on the mast of the leading Poyang Lake ship sounded, and all kinds of steam ships on the river gave way.
The fleet went down the river and stopped briefly in front of the Jiangyin bastion at the end of the Yangtze River waterway. After forming a contrast of "luxury cars parked in front of the earth courtyard", under the stunned eyes of the people on the wall of the Hudi bastion, it rushed into the ghost-filled Puhai ruins in the southeast.
As soon as this batch of warships approached the city cluster of skyscrapers, they seemed to hear the roar of the East China Sea Overlord biological community. The humans on the earth fort saw a large number of black creatures flying down from the city in the midday sun and rushing towards the warships on the river.
However, as flames continued to emanate from the muzzles of the warships on the river, the flying swarms thousands of meters away fell in unison, like mosquitoes that encountered an insecticide sprayer.
These thousand-ton war weapons showed firepower enough to destroy a small contemporary city-state in twenty minutes.
The 30-millimeter guns flashed for a full twenty minutes. Under this continuous shooting, the amount of shells ejected was enough to rival an artillery battalion on the ground. The crossfire composed of six warships not only swept the enemies in the airspace, but also hit the buildings on both sides of the river that seemed to have strong life radiation, causing smoke and dust.
Then the white searchlights on the warships turned in the fog, and beams of light radiated on the river. After going down the Yangtze River, it was necessary to find the entrance to the Huangpu River on the south bank of the Yangtze River estuary.
After entering the Huangpu River, the only way was to allow the 1,000-ton Taige River Defense Ship to pass.
…
In the Puhai ruins area, after a hundred years, things have changed. The once prosperous waterway is full of large shells like reefs. Such shells are one meter wide. When they are opened, the meat inside will open like a flower, forming a huge umbrella to absorb sunlight.
Such unscrupulous exposure of flesh was considered unreasonable in the species era before Pandora Field. A large number of small and medium-sized creatures would gnaw on the creatures opened in the shells. After all, it takes a lot of mucus to put this thing away once.
But in the Pandora era, under the deterrence of the powerful community, the small species in the community are all decomposers. These large shell plants can grow calmly and bloom with greenery.
On the edge of the river, the remains of the prosperous era of mankind have now become a warm nest for various creatures.
Now, on the bank of Huangpu, there is a building with a length of 100 meters, square, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like a doctoral hat. This building used to be red. It is said that it was a venue for humans to exhibit industrial achievements in the pre-Pandora era. Now it is wrapped in a layer of fleshy air bags. Inside the building, many scaly tentacles like giant pythons extend along the surroundings.
The bubbles on the building rise and fall slightly, breathing once every 20 minutes, making a low dragon roar.
This is the regeneration area of the remains of the Tianlei Dragon. The powerful apostle is now recovering here.
…
As humans invaded deeper into this ruin with countless tentacles.
The flesh bubble seemed to emit an angry groan, which erupted through the life frequency band and could affect thousands of kilometers away, causing countless life forms in Puhai to respond.
And the sound at the scene was "crackling, puffing, puffing". If you listen to it on site, it's like the sound of bubbles gushing out of a septic tank in a chemical plant.
As the "dragon roar" spread, all the shells in the Huangpu River quickly shrank. The lush green trees instantly sprayed a large amount of mucus, reduced their size and shrank into the reef-like shells, just like a big snail sprinkled with salt.
Around the "doctoral hat"-shaped building, the tentacles of different sizes that were originally scattered after the building was broken immediately twisted like the broken tail of a gecko.
But as they twisted, a head grew out of the broken end, and some branched tentacles became legs.
These small pythons spread into the city like cockroaches. They rushed to the lower reaches of the Huangpu River.
...
The Taige ship, which had just entered the Huangpu River, was in a bitter battle.
The bottom of the ship was stuck, and then it was like being lifted up by hundreds of jacks, and the angle of the jacking was clamped on the hull, making the steel plate creak.
[Gooseneck barnacles cling to the wooden hull like long fleshy tentacles with hard shells on the top.]
In the Pandora Era, this species was included in the Tianji Dragon community, implanted with neurons, and used the life field to supply energy to make it huge.
Now these giant barnacles that can hold up the Taige ship underwater have a diameter of one meter, and the sharp calcium tip, after pressing against the steel plate, immediately secretes colloid and calcium objects to stick to the bottom of the ship.
The huge warship was about to be locked by the creatures on the river in this waterway.
At this critical moment.
With a plop, five water war beasts jumped into the water, and with the flash of underwater explosion, the stuck warship loosened.
The grenade-sized explosive broke the tentacle band below, and the military attachés in white naval uniforms in the fleet cabin breathed a sigh of relief while shaking.
~
At 11:40 noon, the Taige ship, which had regained freedom of navigation, did not continue to move forward.
Instead, it docked on the spot beside the Huangpu River. The risk of sailing ahead is too great, and the captain believes that continuing to move forward will cause the loss of the ship.
And the thousand-ton diesel-powered warship is now a very important asset of Jianye.
Over the years, every steel plate of this warship has been repeatedly processed by Jianye Steel Plant.
Although it is now the era of mechanical war beasts, warships are still the most important delivery platforms.
Unlike the richness in anime stories, aircraft carriers, warships, and armored divisions are sent to kill at will. In the state of losing industrial productivity, advanced weapon platforms are completely lost if one is destroyed.
~
The Taihu Fleet docked on the spot. After putting down the combatants of Jianye and the Five Colors Alliance, it turned around and sailed out of the Huangpu River. In half an hour, another group of people will be sent over. This warship will be used as a bus for the two places to transport supplies.
And the next section of the road, which is not known to be more than ten kilometers, will require the trainers to sail.
Qiu Mengfei rode on his battle robot, looking at the winding river ahead, the dark buildings on both sides, the broken bridge, and the flashing red light on the horizon, he gave orders to his companions (robots).
At the same time, on the other side of the river bank from Qiu Mengfei, Su Lingshuang also led the mechanical column of his training team and issued a killing order to the giant python creature that rushed out in front.
~
The mechanical war beast has more discipline and obedience than the police dogs in the 21st century.
This alone is quite rare and precious, and it is an extremely important military material. Don’t you see that the beacon country that pays the most attention to human rights can throw away armored vehicles and weapons when withdrawing troops, and the military dogs they feed are given priority to pack up and take away.
In modern times, they are even more heavily armored and carry hot weapons, which is a weapon for urban street fighting.
Although Wei Keng’s early development focused on communications, detection, firepower, and mechanical transportation, in recent years, he has also begun to pay attention to the mechanized modification of giant cats.
But from the current situation, the city-states of Jianye and the Five-Color Alliance still have the strongest technical level in this regard.
~
The combat team, composed entirely of master trainers, took half an hour to complete the control of the eight commanding heights on both sides of Huangpu, and completed the mapping of the area with the thickest fog in the south by setting off fireworks and firecrackers at intervals.
In fact, when this combat team was deployed in the city, it was found that the task was not difficult.
The place where the warship ran aground was actually only twelve kilometers away from the building where Tianjilong was located, and the distance including the curve of Huangpu River was only fifteen kilometers.
The instructor leading the team, Song Heng (Tianwang), sent a flying mechanical beast to review the situation and ordered the missile unit to calibrate.
~
The 3,000-ton Poyang Lake stopped horizontally on the bank of the Yangtze River, then used a mechanical arm to move the missile out and launched it with a launcher.
This large-sized sky-piercing monkey, carrying a missile with a 75-kilogram nuclear warhead, fell towards the life radiation base in the Puhai area.
A few dozen seconds later, another mushroom cloud appeared for that bloody abscess!
This is the second time that the remnants of the Tianji Dragon have been bombed by nuclear weapons!
[On September 21, when the first batch of temporary observation stations were built, the distant wailing of the Tianji Dragon community that Wei Keng heard in Shanghuai was this bombing]
~
Four hours after the explosion.
The trainer team on the Taihu ship sailed along the river to three kilometers away from the nuclear explosion site.
At this time, the smoke and dust above the nuclear explosion site had dissipated with a batch of mud rain, but the front still emitted rays that made people feel burning all over the body.
The biological collection team sent by the Taihu ship put on the lead-layer protective suit, commanded the pack animals, and carried the collection tubes into the center of the nuclear explosion.
Because according to intelligence, at the edge of the nuclear explosion pit, some collapsed subway depressions, there are still some wriggling flesh and blood. These flesh and blood are good mechanical beast original materials, and scientists are urgently needed to collect them.
Su Lingshuang and Qiu Mengfei did not go to this collection work. They are now on the top of the building, watching the city where the fog has dissipated.
At this time, the city is full of fleeing creatures, and it looks like a chaotic world.
However, Su Lingshuang's eyes are fixed on these creatures running towards the ocean in the east, and her brows are locked.
Qiu Mengfei, who is on the same building, sees the girl in the north looking at the fleeing creatures below like a sculpture, and can't help asking: "What's wrong, is there any problem?"
Su Lingshuang said slowly: "There is a big problem! We haven't eliminated the Tianlei Dragon yet."
Qiu Mengfei said: "It is impossible to completely eliminate the Tianluo Dragon. This is a node that depends on the formation of the East China Sea community. It is impossible to completely eliminate it."
Su Lingshuang: "I am not talking about complete elimination, but the elimination of this node. If the current node of the Tianluo Dragon is the last major node at present, then these community individuals should be scattered and fleeing, fighting each other after gathering in the surrounding area, and condensing local nodes, but now they are fleeing to the East China Sea in unison."
Qiu Mengfei looked towards the east along his finger, and his expression became solemn. : "There is a third node."
Su Lingshuang: "The Tianluo Dragon may have multiple nodes. Previously, the strongest one was in Bohai Bay, followed by Puhai. Now that the current two have been destroyed, it is the third one."
~
Su Lingshuang guessed correctly. In the battle of the East China Sea, the Tianluo Dragon was directly broken into four pieces by the Sulfur Iron Basalt.
The two strongest pieces fled into Bohai Bay and Puhai City respectively, while the most severely damaged section was lingering on in Dayuan Island, and another section escaped to the "Whale Sea".
However, with the attack of two nuclear bombs, more than half of its carbon-based body has been destroyed, and the nodes of this generation of Tianji Dragon are indeed almost destroyed.
The premise is, don't commit suicide!
~
On the 21st, at 18:23, the evening sunset shone on the densely packed buildings, and the orange-red light reflected on the river surface, making it a little warm.
The expedition team of Jianye City, the Taihu ship was loaded with six large cans of flesh and blood collected from the nuclear explosion site.
In these two-meter-high cans of transparent nutrient solution, these flesh and blood moved as flexibly as octopuses.
Such vitality is still very compatible with the ecological energy of the natural ecological community genes, which makes the accompanying researchers very happy. These flesh and blood can be adjusted into advanced mechanical beasts with unlimited potential.
In the past, regional masters were used, and at most the node flesh and blood of regional overlords, but now it is the first time to obtain the node flesh and blood of the apostle level.
…
On both sides of the Yangtze River, a large number of creatures were still fleeing eastward, which made the people on the warship feel relieved.
But no one noticed that those fleeing in the city were large individuals over one meter in size.
In the buildings and rubble, the rat-like creatures came out after the Taihu ship passed by and gradually moved away, standing on the high ground of the rubble, staring at the departing warship.
If Wei Keng were here, he would be able to distinguish that the life frequency band emitted by the warship carrying the flesh and blood of the Tianlei Dragon was similar to the call of the queen ant in the mine nest to her children.
