Chapter 89 Lost
Command communication channel.
"What?"
The half-human mecha Deep Sea felt that he had heard wrongly.
"It is very possible that there is a new lair that the blade beasts are building under the Fortress No. 76? This is impossible! Unless the blade beasts have a new underground variant that allows them to move in the strata below two thousand meters and have to fight against the powerful earth's crust. Pressure! Is it possible that this kind of underground passage exists? And if there is this new variant, why doesn't it just go deep underground and destroy the passage? "
Dongfang Zhenghong said quickly: "I don't want to believe this conclusion, but the people who pointed out this possibility are Wang Zheng and Wu Man."
Command outside the vehicle.
More than a dozen medium and large multi-rotor aircraft have already taken off, dragging mechas and armored vehicles of the emergency mobile unit below, and are moving quickly towards the fortress.
Fortunately, the process of encircling and suppressing the young king insects went smoothly this time. The emergency mobile units at three positions were not used. Two tactical nuclear bombs eliminated a king-level blade beast that had not grown up.
But now, these emergency forces can quickly return to the fortress. It only takes two hours and twenty-five minutes to travel...
Dongfang Masahiro said in a deep voice: "Report on the damage to your three robotic arms."
"The Lingtong robotic arm suffered an electromagnetic impact. The two of us are wrapped in outer mechas. The main body is in good condition. She needs maintenance."
Deep Sea Express said:
"Please let our supply truck convoy move towards the fortress, and we will catch up from behind.
"The maintenance will take at least half an hour. Lingtong will activate her backup robotic arm, and the two of us will rush there first.
"Now I just hope that if... there is really a new nest built by the baby king insect under Fortress No. 76, the fortress's own defense barrier can survive two hours."
Dongfang Masahiro said: "I have already contacted the Archon. Once the blade beast is discovered, I will immediately activate the independent protection devices of each layer of the fortress. Fortress No. 76 plays an important cornerstone role in the Medieval Basin War Zone and the D5 Comprehensive War Zone. I will immediately Request support from the two-level command center!”
Deep Sea did not reply.
Dongfang Masahiro took a deep breath to keep himself calm, although his fingers were trembling slightly.
He looked aside.
Zhou Zhengde was sitting in the position of a technician with a projection screen in front of him.
What the projection screen shows is the situation inside an aircraft.
Wang Jixuan was putting a nano mask on his face, with the dark tactical helmet beside him.
Wu Man and the two technicians accompanying him were debugging a simple signal amplifier. This amplifier is not very powerful and has limited coverage, but it can be carried around.
These instruments are very complex.
Dongfang Zhenghong kept thinking.
There are also two B-class psykers, a dozen C-class psykers, and more than twenty D/E-class psykers in the fortress.
If a Blade Beast disaster breaks out, they should also be able to play some role.
I just don’t know when the blade beast disaster will happen. There will be a large number of larvae with soft outer bones in the nest of the young king insect. If it can be delayed until the mobile troops rush back...
"Sir, sir! Blade beast reaction! Blade beast reaction detected three hundred meters from the bottom of Fortress 76!"
Dongfang Zhenghong sat up and almost shouted: "Map! Three-dimensional map!"
call out!
A three-dimensional view of the fortress appeared in the center of the holographic sandbox in front of him, and next to it was a cross-section of the fortress.
The fortress is like a standard barrel, embedded in the shallow crust. Inside it are forty-nine layers of varying heights. The upper, middle and lower walls are marked with three colors: blue, green and yellow.
There are seven or eight marked 'thin layers' outside the fortress, which are the outer wall of the fortress body, the external composite wall, the multi-layer armor wall, the self-defense infinitely thickened wall, etc.
On the periphery of these walls, there is a dark layer of area, about three hundred meters thick. It is a trigger minefield, filled with a large number of mechanical mines, which will be detonated as long as the burrowing beast touches it.
This kind of defense layer, it stands to reason...
A flashing red dot appeared below the fortress diorama.
Dongfang Masahiro held his breath and stared.
A red dot paused slightly in the minefield near the bottom, rose forward a small square, and then fell rapidly.
The second red dot then appeared, rising one small square again, falling quickly and moving forward again, rising two small squares and then falling diagonally.
The minefield was passed.
Two 'earth worm' bladed beasts were killed or wounded.
The third red dot entered the detection range, rose rapidly, passed through the gap in the minefield, and reached the outer wall of the composite defense layer.
‘If it can be blocked, this layer can definitely block it, this layer must block it! ’
Dongfang Zhenghong almost made his palms bleed.
The red dot suddenly jumped up a lot!
The stereoscopic projection of the fortress turned red instantly!
Densely dense red dots appeared below, swarming towards the passage!
"The defense has been breached!"
"The fortress was attacked by a group of blade beasts!"
"Blade beasts appear at the bottom of the lower city! A large number of blade beasts! The number has been confirmed... four thousand! It is still rising!"
Dongfang Zhenghong cursed loudly. He just wanted to ask why the bottom defensive belt didn't work at all!
"Turn on the layered independent defense equipment! Let the psykers go down! Where are the fortress cleaning troops!"
"Firefight is ongoing!"
"Let me defend them even if they die! Damn it! Why did the bottom defense belt fail!"
"In order to avoid daily inspections, Professor Zhuang and Kong Nu's secret laboratory dug too deep and laid a camouflage layer. The bottom has never been breached before..." Zhou Zhengde's Adam's apple trembled, "Probably ”
on the screen in front of Zhou Zhengde.
Wang Jixuan, who had learned about the situation in the fortress through communication, leaned back on his seat.
"Is there any way to go back faster?" Wang Jixuan asked softly.
Zhou Zhengde frowned and thought.
Wu Man whispered: "There is a way. I saw it in the fighting girl's violation manual. There was a fighting girl who used this method to rush to the battlefield. However, this requires consuming a missile and being able to fight against super A body that imposes speed.”
Wang Jixuan was startled for a moment, then nodded immediately.
It's better than doing nothing.
…
five minutes ago.
The 49th floor of Fortress No. 76, the former Black Fire Gang territory, where the purge troops were stationed.
Wang Lei, commander of the purge force, leaned against an armored vehicle, with battle reports from the front constantly popping up on the screen on his wrist.
This is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a burly build and a square face. He has worked in the fortress' purge force for twenty years. He is considered a prominent figure in the 76th fortress garrison and can directly apply to see the consul. "Captain, what's going on? Did the baby king insect die?"
A team member next to him asked curiously.
"Solved," Wang Lei laughed, "the three warriors took action at the same time, as well as the psykers from the front line of the war zone, and also used two tactical nuclear bombs."
The members of the armored vehicle took the opportunity and said: "Captain, how about we go celebrate for them? Let's go have a drink!"
"Drinking is not allowed during work hours."
Wang Lei clicked his tongue:
"This station mission is over, I will apply for a vacation for you, and then I will treat you to a desert barbecue feast!"
Several people laughed like heckles.
The command watch on Wang Lei's wrist suddenly vibrated at a high frequency, and a red frame popped out of it.
An order from frontline headquarters Masahiro Higashikata.
[The fortress may be attacked by a group of bladed beasts, and the attack direction is likely to be directly below. Please be prepared to fight immediately. 】
Wang Lei was stunned for a second, then thought of something, rushed back to the armored vehicle, and photographed the red button in front of him.
"Everyone is here! Enter combat status immediately! Issue a blade beast disaster warning! Set up all heavy firepower to high points! Hurry! Light up the entire area! Issue a blade beast disaster warning! Let everyone try to hide in small spaces such as refrigerators or sewers! "
The purge force station, which was originally in a semi-relaxed state, suddenly became a little panicked.
But they all have good training and will often maintain emergency maneuver drills. Dozens of armored vehicles here have been activated and quickly assembled under Wang Lei's dispatch.
Rumble——
Suddenly there was a dull explosion deep in the earth.
The ground was shaking slightly.
Those simple houses shook off a little dust.
The explosion temporarily stopped, but just over twenty seconds later, there was another explosion, and the explosion got closer and closer, and the vibrations on the ground became more obvious.
Sudden!
Woo——
Several huge red lights lit up on the ceiling of the 49th floor, and piercing alarms sounded from all levels of the fortress.
Boom!
The earth trembled, and several low-rise buildings in the northwest corner of the Black Fire Gang suddenly collapsed downwards!
"Over there! Turn on the lights!"
Wang Lei circled a red dot on the map, and several searchlights immediately hit it.
The sunken pit sloped downwards and was in the shape of an irregular oval. Nothing seemed to rush out of it. Those buildings blocked the entrance of the hole.
The air is filled with suffocating fluctuations!
The biological detector suddenly turned red!
Wang Lei looked at the dense red dots on the instrument, his face was pale and his breathing was rapid, but his eyes did not waver.
"A large number of blade beasts are coming, be careful! A large number of blade beasts are coming! The first ones to rush out should be the burrowing insects. Don't pour out firepower immediately. The burrowing blade beasts have hard skulls and exoskeletons, and our firepower cannot break through its armor. …”
A group of black shadows rushed outwards in the inclined hole!
A huge bladed beast more than thirty meters long, with completely degenerated legs and mouthparts that could break diamonds, crashed out of the cave!
It opened its mouth to swallow most of the construction debris blocking the hole, and its huge body completely escaped from the hole by inertia, smashing down the low buildings next to it.
Immediately afterwards, a low-level basic blade beast climbed out of the hole, opened its mouthparts, and let out a sharp roar.
"One team fires!"
Wang Lei shouted.
In the hands of the soldiers, the guns and cannons used against people poured out firepower at the same time.
Green blood burst out from the mouthparts of the terrifying-looking blade beast, and its limbs were shattered by armor-piercing bullets from the rapid-fire cannon. Broken limbs and blood were scattered all over the ground.
Everyone held their breath, and the soldiers clenched their guns.
There was an intensive scraping sound in the hole.
It was the sound of feet scraping against the rock wall.
Wang Lei looked at the number of red dots on the bioradar... getting closer and closer, more and more...
That slanted hole was like a pipe filled with water, suddenly gushing out!
The bladed beasts are gushing out!
In just two seconds, hundreds of bladed beasts jumped out of the inclined hole!
They rushed towards the armored vehicles and towards the crowd. The firepower of the purge force, which was enough to suppress all human gangs, looked so unbearable and weak in front of them!
The armored vehicles were constantly overturned.
The soldier holding the gun stepped back and fired, but the blade beast that quickly rushed in front of him stabbed his chest easily with its forelegs. The body armor had no effect.
The assassin-type blade beast that quickly charged into the crowd was involved in the crowd. Several soldiers screamed and their chests were cut off directly.
"Fire! Fire coverage!"
"ah!"
"We don't have enough firepower! We don't have enough firepower!"
"Grenade! Throw the grenade!"
"Pulse cannon fire! Damn it! I will fight with you!"
The sound in the earphones quickly became less, and the roars became more and more loud. On the screen in front of them, the army of several hundred people quickly reduced to only a hundred people.
Wang Lei pressed the button in front of him:
"Call the headquarters. The 49th floor has been lost. Our entire army has been wiped out. It is recommended to blockade the lower city."
After saying that, he dropped his rifle and rushed out of the empty armored vehicle in two steps.
Several team members set up guns on both sides of the armored vehicle and fired wildly. Wang Lei stooped and rushed towards the overturned armored vehicle not far away, and lifted up a multi-barreled machine gun that fell on the ground.
His command vehicle was overturned by several bladed beasts, leaving only the last two screams of several team members.
Wang Lei pulled up the multi-barreled machine gun and aimed it at the mouthparts of a bladed beast. Veins stretched on his forehead, and his ferocious face was illuminated by the gunfire.
"I'll fuck you uncle!"
The mouthparts of a bladed beast were quickly smashed.
A black shadow rushed behind Wang Lei, and his upper body holding the gun slid backwards.
The gunshots died down.
