Chapter 334 Giant Ferocious Beast

In the sky above the Tianmen Patrol Station, the sky seemed to be burning. Fire clouds were rolling everywhere as far as the eye could see, and huge black shadows shuttled between them.

Countless large transport ships sailed at high altitudes, and the plasma flames erupted from their engines dyed the clouds orange-red, almost igniting the entire sky.

"Rumble--" After the transport ship arrived at the battlefield, huge black shadows peeled off from the cabin. They caused violent friction with the air as they fell at high speed, and erupted with dazzling light, like falling bolides.

The number of black giant shadows dropped from the air continued to increase, reaching nearly a hundred. They broke through the clouds in the scorching light, and the entire sky was filled with flashes of bolide explosions.

"Boom -" Amidst the roar of the reverse deceleration engine, the first black giant shadow landed outside the Tianmen Patrol Station and smashed straight into the center of the dense sea of ​​ferocious beasts.

The majestic air flow overturned all the ferocious beasts within a hundred meters, and the liquid fire formed by the burning of the insulation coating splashed everywhere. Many ferocious beasts that were not quick to dodge were affected, and their bodies were burned to pieces.

This is a "Colossus-level" Titan mecha, 12 meters high. Its body design is not a retro anthropomorphic form, but has eight slender legs like a spider. The shell made of rare alloys constantly reflects cold light. Standing firmly in the center of the battlefield.

The Colossus-class Titan is one of the most advanced fully-automatic drone armors in the world today. Its limbs are designed with a bionic structure and can move quickly in various complex terrains. Even the most rugged ground cannot stop its progress.

That huge body is equipped with a variety of heavy weapons, from high-energy laser cannons to precision-guided missile launchers, each of which can cause huge damage on the battlefield. It is a killing machine developed to deal with high-intensity wars.

Soon, the weapon system of this Colossus-class Titan mecha was activated. The fire control scanner on its head locked onto the surrounding ferocious beasts one after another, and then burst out with a dazzling red light.

"Buzz--" The high-energy laser cannon located on the top of the machine was activated first, and a hundred-meter-long laser beam erupted in a flash of light, sweeping across the battlefield. All the beasts it came into contact with were instantly reduced to ashes, leaving only the ground. Dark red burn marks of rolling lava.

Immediately afterwards, a neat matrix of launch ports appeared on the surface of the Titan's body, and multiple rockets began to fire. Rounds of micro-missiles poured out like a torrential rain. Explosions came one after another. Fires bloomed among the ferocious beasts, and fragments of flesh and blood and debris formed by the explosions appeared. Splashing everywhere.

The ferocious beasts roared and rushed towards the Titan mecha, trying to climb onto its body. The close-in defense cannons that fired fiercely immediately poured out bullets, forming a death barrier.

"Da da da da da -" Wherever the bullets passed, blood mist rose into the sky. All the ferocious beasts that tried to get close were riddled with holes, corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed into rivers.

This is just the power of a Titan mecha.

Above the sky, nearly a hundred Titan mechas landed one after another, and a large number of heavy-fire mechanized troops were airdropped. Military drones were even more numerous, soaring over the battlefield.

These were all heavy ordnances urgently requisitioned from Crescent City, and were put at the Tianmen Patrol Station to stop the ferocious beasts.

At the same time, troops from the nearby Hefei Company were also arriving one after another. The Razor Rapid Reaction Force dispatched three full brigades, and the remaining mortal soldiers totaled tens of thousands.

Heavily armed soldiers landed in groups and cooperated with mechanized troops to build lines of defense on the battlefield. From a high altitude, human war machines were everywhere.

The Hefei Company invested a lot of manpower and heavy ordnance, but the power of the ferocious beasts was equally astonishing.

When a Titan mecha was on a mission of annihilation, it suddenly encountered a giant beast that was as big as a mountain.

For a beast of this level, close-range anti-cannon bullets will bounce off its biological shell immediately, and micro-missiles can only leave scorch marks. Even high-energy laser cannons cannot cause fatal damage in a short period of time.

The giant ferocious beast withstood the overwhelming firepower and rolled towards the Titan mecha like a landslide.

"Boom!!!" The moment the two sides collided, the Titan mecha was unable to withstand the behemoth, and its body was crushed to the ground and cracked inch by inch.

The engine was overloaded and billowing black smoke came out. The Titan mecha tried to regain its fighting posture, but in the face of the even larger giant beast, its mechanical strength was insufficient, and the body was quickly crushed and completely scrapped.

"Roar——" The giant ferocious beast destroyed a Titan mecha, let out a deafening roar, and charged towards the rear position with its huge horn blade to wreak havoc.

Dozens of company soldiers had no time to escape and were directly crushed by the horn blade, including three Razor Warriors. Their bodies were shattered by the huge force, and their flesh was scattered all over the floor.

Seeing this, the other soldiers could only retreat and fire back at the same time, but it was obviously in vain.

Just when a gap was opened in the defense line, a dragon-like roar came from behind the line.

The captain of a razor brigade took action. This was a "high-level beyond limit" dragon flame blood code bearer. In order to resist the giant beast, he brazenly entered a dangerous dragon state, with dragon wings flowing with lava in the air. Kai Zhang.

The captain flapped his wings and stirred up a gust of blazing wind. Dragon flames gathered in his throat, and the majestic power surged out in an instant, crashing towards the super-large ferocious beast.

"Boom!!!" The moment the dragon flame hit, fragments of fire with an incalculable temperature exploded from the surface of the giant ferocious beast. Pillars of fire rose into the sky, and the density of the surrounding air was affected by the high temperature and began to distort wantonly.

Amidst the tragic wails, the overbearing body that could crush the Titan mecha was melted by the dragon's flames, leaving only a pile of huge charred corpses leaping with flames.

The war went on non-stop, with artillery fire day and night, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke permeated the entire battlefield, and the constant loud muffled sounds were like a heavy hammer hitting the heart.

The high-intensity offensive and defensive battle lasted for two full days and two nights. With more and more reinforcements coming from Hehe Company, the defense line of Tianmen Patrol Station became more and more stable.

The number of ferocious beasts also surged like a wave at the beginning and gradually became sparse.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the last ferocious beast that rushed towards the Tianmen Patrol Station was killed. No more living ferocious beasts could be seen on the battlefield.

Looking around, there are piles of dead bodies everywhere inside and outside the Tianmen Patrol Station, most of which belong to ferocious beasts, and of course there are also sacrificed company soldiers.

The surviving soldiers gradually recovered from the fighting. They looked at the silent battlefield for a moment, and then burst into warm cheers.

"Win! Long live the company!!!"

"Go back to your hometown, you evil beasts, why do you think you want to challenge humans?!"

"After this battle, I will go back to my hometown and get married."

"Climb, climb, climb, don't put that flag down!"

As the soldiers cheered and celebrated, the Razor Captain with the dragon flame blood code fluttered in the air and was overlooking the entire battlefield.

Suddenly, his expression became strange: "Something's wrong"

On the communicator, the subordinate's voice came: "Captain, what's wrong?"

The captain stared closely at the piles of corpses of ferocious beasts on the battlefield, as if confirming something, and said in a deep voice: "The number of corpses is wrong. The number of corpses of ferocious beasts here is far less than what was captured by previous satellite photos."

The subordinates suddenly became nervous: "Are you saying that the ferocious beasts have not been wiped out completely and a second wave of attacks may be launched? I will immediately ask the reconnaissance team to expand the search scope!"

The order was quickly issued to the reconnaissance force. Airborne early warning reconnaissance aircraft, military satellites, and even Apokolips were put into use. Using the Tianmen Patrol Station as the base point, they searched for traces of the ferocious beasts in a wide area in the direction of Borderlands.

The captain descended from the air to the rear position, walked into the mobile radar vehicle belonging to the reconnaissance unit, and asked: "How is the situation?"

The investigator looked at the various images on the screen, shook his head and said, "We searched several times along the mountains surrounding the Tianmen Patrol Station, and found no trace of the vicious beast."

"And judging from the steep terrain nearby, it is impossible for land-based ferocious beasts to take a detour and climb over. The airspace is also under full security control by us, and all flying ferocious beasts that have intruded have been killed."

"So... no matter where the ferocious beasts who did not participate in the attack on Tianmen are, we should be safe. Yes, that is the case for now."

The captain thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Change the investigation method and conduct reverse tracking of the traces of the beast's activities."

The investigator said cautiously: "Captain, with all due respect, traces of the beast's activities will gradually disappear as the weather changes. Especially after heavy rain this morning, reverse tracking is very difficult. It is like finding a needle in a haystack. The workload will be astronomical." Digital level.”

The captain said without hesitation: "I can apply to the headquarters for lack of manpower and equipment. I must know where those ferocious beasts went, whether they dispersed on their own or went to other places, and what is the source of the ferocious beasts' strange movements. "

Having said this, the investigator did not dare to say any more and led other people in the investigation department to redistribute tasks.

The high-frequency investigation lasted for a full day and night. As the investigator said before, the traces of the beast's activities disappeared due to the weather, so the only way to search was through a blanket search.

Although this search method will not miss anything, the wider the scope of the search, the search difficulty and workload will also increase exponentially.

Just when everyone in the investigation team was at a loss, a piece of news came back that a team had re-captured traces of the beast's activities.

Following the trace in reverse, everyone suddenly discovered that there were more and more traces of the beasts' activities, and they seemed to be gathering somewhere.

When they continued to follow more and more clues and finally located the area where the ferocious beasts gathered, everyone was shocked.

In the vast wasteland, there is an extremely unique super-large ferocious beast. Its size is unimaginable. The main body of its body is buried inside the ground, and only a part of it is exposed. But only this small part is already larger than most. The super-large ferocious beasts are even bigger.

Its head is covered with rough bumps and irregular flesh grooves, and its mouth is split into four lobes, forming a giant opening nearly a hundred meters in diameter. The edges are covered with sharp teeth, which shine coldly in the sun. light.

People who can work in the reconnaissance force have a lot of information stored in their minds, and they all recognized this super large beast at this time.

This is a "tunnel worm", a ferocious beast that usually lives underground. The serrated teeth in its mouth are extremely hard and can easily crush rocks with the high-speed shaking of its jaw muscles.

After the tunnel worms eat rocks, they can digest them and secrete a special kind of mucus on the body surface. This mucus will solidify into high-strength crystals in a short time after contacting the stone wall, keeping the hollow rock layer from collapsing, thus forming a line. "Tunnel", this is the origin of its name.

The tunnel worm's ability to dig into the ground is extremely amazing. When traveling underground, its speed can reach hundreds of kilometers per hour. It is comparable to a car traveling on the highway, and it can often launch unexpected attacks.

Moreover, its activity area is often very deep, and the deepest can reach more than 1,000 meters underground, which is far beyond the range that earth-penetrating missiles can strike, which is very troublesome.

However, this ferocious beast also has a big weakness, that is, its huge body consumes a lot of nutrients.

Generally speaking, Nydusworms will quickly burrow back into the ground after hunting and fall into dormancy for a long period of time, keeping their bodies in a state of minimal consumption.

This kind of dormancy can last for several months or even a year. It will not start hunting surface organisms again until the nutrients in its body are exhausted.

Since high-intensity digging activities will greatly consume nutrients, tunnel worms generally only move around their dormancy sites and rarely move long distances, let alone cross border patrol stations.

The last record of Nydus Worms appearing in human territory can be traced back to a hundred years ago.

The appearance of the Nydus Worms itself is not surprising, what is surprising is the scene at this time.

I saw countless ferocious beasts coming from all directions, gathering towards the tunnel worms, and they all threw themselves into the huge mouthparts.

The Nydus Worms continue to swallow these ferocious beasts that willingly become food, eating them into their stomachs, as if they are having a hellish gluttonous feast.

No one knows why the ferocious beast carried out such suicidal and abnormal behavior, but the reason is not important anymore.

The important thing is that these ferocious beasts will be digested by the Nydus Worm's stomach organ that can easily dissolve rocks and turned into its nutrients.

And so many ferocious beasts are used as nutrients, which can fully support the Nydus Worms to carry out ultra-long-distance activities of hundreds of kilometers.

This also means that a "tunnel" hundreds of kilometers long will appear underground!

It would be fine if the tunnel worm only wanders around in the Borderlands, but once it targets the human world, this tunnel of hundreds of kilometers will directly penetrate all ground defense forces and reach the hinterland of human territory!

Normally, this is impossible to happen.

No ferocious beast will actively devote itself to the Nydus Worms to turn into nutrients, and the Nylon Worms will not easily leave their own territory and engage in meaningless ultra-long-distance activities.

However, at this moment, this impossible scene unfolded like a nightmare.

As the tunnel worm swallowed and digested the last batch of ferocious beasts, its body's nutrients reached a saturated state, and its huge exposed body suddenly burrowed into the ground, leaving only a giant deep pit.

At the same time, a flood of ferocious beasts poured into the tunnel opened by the Nydus Worm, following it and beginning to move underground.

As the investigators stared blankly at this scene, more information came back, and their voices could not stop trembling with fear:

"Ground-penetrating radar shows that the underground vibration source is moving in a straight line to the southwest! There seems to be something there that is attracting them!"

"The source of vibration is approaching the defense outpost but there is no sign of rising! It is not coming towards us!"

"Damn it! The source of the vibration has passed the Tianmen Patrol Station and gone straight inland!"

"Oh my God. There are so many ferocious beasts following the Nydus Worms. If they appear in big cities, it will be terrible."

"The situation is out of control! Inform the headquarters of the situation immediately, quickly! Quick!!!" (End of Chapter)
