Chapter 299 Sandworm!
Bai'e immediately noticed the whereabouts of the sandworms moving rapidly underground. With the trait of "hive will", he can sensitively perceive the signals uploaded and received by his fellow tribesmen when they initiate actions in this network.
However, he had no time to remind them.
At the same time as he perceived it, the sandworms had already approached to a distance that was difficult to react.
Unless he was on a fast-moving vehicle, Bai'e would take over the steering wheel immediately to avoid the impact of the sandworms. Otherwise, in a stationary vehicle, even he could only protect himself and jump out of the car to escape.
Not to mention that he was alone in the rear compartment, and even the work at hand had reached the last critical moment.
Almost at the same time when the sandworms were stuck and overturned his teammates' transport vehicle, Bai'e successfully welded the last tin spot and received a prompt that the production was completed.
The so-called communicator made simply was of course not very powerful. After all, even the original sensor sent to them by the information department of the scientific research institute could not transmit more information, not to mention the simple launch device he assembled himself with a pile of scrap copper and iron.
The only function that this improvised simple launcher can perform is to transmit one's location to the receiving signal center.
The rest... can only be left to fate.
Bai'er held the machine gun in one hand, and while firing with one hand, he held the handrail on the outer edge of the car with the other hand, and turned around and climbed onto the roof.
Vision!
When suddenly attacked, it is more important to find out the opponent's configuration and position as soon as possible.
The information sent by the "Hive Will" network is vague, and it is undoubtedly not as useful as one's own eyes and ears in a frontal battle.
Before the eyes first observe the information, the expertise of blind fighting is already collecting information around through air vibrations.
One... two... three... four... five... six...
Six!
Bai'er, standing alone on the roof, held the machine gun in his arms, and his eyes swept around coldly.
There are only sandworms, all six, and no other types of insects have been seen for the time being.
They are not easy to follow the actions of other types of insects when they drill holes underground.
At this moment, the sandworms' waving movements in the air seemed to be their instinct to vent, but the reason why they did not make any additional movements at the first time was also revealed in the monster information under their own sweep_
[Sandworm (Zerg): HP 199/200; Defense 20; Action: 30% (overdraft state); Characteristics: Symbiotic weapons, chitin armor, large creatures, scattered nerves...]
[Large creatures: Their huge size makes them highly resistant to attacks that damage no more than half of their body, and the damage they receive at a time will never exceed 10% of their HP limit! ]
[Dispersed nerves: In order to control their huge bodies, they do not have a core brain to control the entire body, and many nerve nodes are scattered in multiple parts of their body, so that they do not have absolute vital points. ]
A volley of bullets did not cause enough damage to the opponent.
The level of the sandworm may not be as high as that of the mantis worm, but the defense of their bone armor on the surface of their bodies responsible for underground excavation is higher than that of the mantis worm.
The reason why they swayed and stretched in the air and did not launch an attack immediately was probably because they were in an inevitable state of fainting after digging and knocking away the heavy carrier.
Even if they were irrational insects, they had to follow the basic principles of mechanics when interacting with anything in the world.
Perhaps the armor on their bodies was hard enough, but the shockwaves had enough penetration to directly affect the insect bodies under the chitinous armor.
"Fire!"
While Bai'e was observing the battlefield situation, his teammates fired synchronously. The violent firepower instantly sounded from the front compartment, and the heavy machine gun on the roof made a more terrifying roar than the battle blade machine gun in his hand.
"Puff puff puff!"
Occasionally, bullets shot into the huge body of the sandworm from the weak point of the shell made a dull penetration sound, but more bullets hit their chitinous shells, making a crisp impact sound like hitting a metal plate.
"Swish, swish!"
Two sandworms that did not participate in overturning the loader drilled out of the ground directly, and their bodies like millipedes swam quickly under the intersection of countless sharp claws.
The sharp sickle jaws on the worm's head reflected a sharp cold white light under the not-so-bright moonlight.
Hu suddenly opened the car door. Wearing heavy combat armor, he held the chainsaw sword and saw the opportunity to jump over the head of one of the sandworms that was swimming over.
The rapidly rotating chainsaw sword chopped on the chitinous carapace, and a series of dazzling sparks emerged.
Dashan and You also went out together. The two warriors who were also inclined to close combat rushed out fearlessly.
Dashan preferred strength and raised the tower shield to push up, while You preferred the agility of reflexes, and his figure flashed towards the overturned carrier.
Simply tipping over and rolling the vehicle cannot directly kill the special forces soldiers inside, who are not bad in strength. Rescuing them to join the battle as soon as possible is a strategy that is more conducive to the development of the battlefield situation.
Song Ying held the heavy machine gun in his arms, standing on the roof of the car as if his feet were rooted, venting an angry storm of bullets.
The teammates of the other team lost their vehicles at the cost of their vehicles, so they can't be wasted easily!
However, Bai E glanced at them and just frowned.
The teammates responded quickly and made the right decision, but the killing effect was limited.
Whether it was the captain, Song Ying, or Dashan, their attacks could not break through the sandworms' defense and cause a real and effective blow to them.
Not to mention that sandworms also have the characteristic of "large creatures". All small-scale attacks and wounds will naturally be weakened by one level of damage.
Does it have weaknesses?
have!
The ability to defend against piercing and slashing damage is the advantage of Zerg chitin armor, but the performance of their chitin armor will be compromised in terms of resistance to strike damage.
Bai E shouted loudly to Song Ying at the front of the car: "Use a grenade barrel! The machine gun has little effect!"
Unlike the last time we went out to rescue refugees, this time we had the load-carrying capacity of a carrier vehicle and brought a lot of various heavy-duty individual weapons that were easy to use - grenade launchers, mortars, flamethrowers, etc., to facilitate dealing with various different needs.
"good."
Song Ying also discovered something was wrong.
Without a Baie panel, he immediately discovered that the heavy machine gun's offensive was not very effective as soon as the shuttle went down.
This is not the time to deal with a sea of insects. The firepower of heavy machine guns is difficult to break through the defenses of the sparse but powerful Zerg heavy armor units. The concussive impact of heavy artillery may be more effective.
Song Ying carried a grenade tube using a shock bomb type on his shoulder, and shot at a sandworm that had little ability to move due to its "fainting state".
"boom!"
Flames flew and dazzling flashes exploded in the deep night.
"hiss!"
The body of the sandworm that was suddenly attacked suddenly stiffened, and countless sharp claws were waving randomly and it fell backwards.
Bai E took another shot and found that he was still more than half away from death - 181/200.
"So difficult!"
Bai E gritted his teeth and cursed.
Obviously, the level of this kind of sandworm is not as high as that of the mantis, but their huge size makes their existence itself troublesome.
It would be okay if there was only one, but there were six in total. It was really difficult to solve them quickly.
His eyes swept over the whole situation, especially the creeping black line gradually spreading in the distance on the gray horizon, letting Bai E know that these sandworms must be dealt with as soon as possible——
A small wave of bugs followed closely behind the sandworms, and the low-level bugs that were lying in wait also charged!
After taking a quick inventory of the many abilities he currently possesses, Bai E didn't find among them the most suitable ability to solve the current predicament.
Powerful shooting combined with instant killing of hundreds of heads is undoubtedly Bai'e's most lethal combination at present.
However, powerful shots that use arrows as a carrier have a natural disadvantage when dealing with such large bugs——
Bai'e's powerful shooting combined with the instant kill of a hundred can definitely easily penetrate the sandworm's defense, but even if it shoots a certain part of their body, such a huge creature will not die directly.
And if you want to continue to explode, the combination of powerful shooting and instant killing of hundreds of heads will be too expensive, and even if the spiritual energy and mobility are completely exhausted, I am afraid it will not be enough to kill all the sandworms.
This is the tricky part about their "large creature" and "dispersed nerves" qualities.
The large creatures make them not care about small penetrating injuries at all, and the scattered nerves leave them without a central vital point, making it impossible to decapitate them.
Most of their bodies must be broken into pieces inch by inch!
Or the inner body beneath the chitinous shell!
what to do?
Bai E hesitated slightly, the night breeze gently blowing the broken hair on his forehead.
His eyes quickly wandered around the panel. At a certain moment, Bai E's eyes stopped on a line of writing——
The skill tree attached to fighting specialization...
Unlockable without learning: Gift relief, tactical evasion.
Of course, the current situation has nothing to do with tactical evasion, but the gift of relief...
The fighting specialization itself improves the striking power by a large amount, and combined with the gift of relief... can it continue to explode and solve the battle quickly?
Not to mention that his current combat proficiency is level 6, which is the highest level among all his specialties.
In face-to-face combat?
Bai E licked his lips, his eyes wild...
