Chapter 90 No Heroes
“…Our entire army was wiped out…”
Wang Lei's voice echoed in the command vehicle.
This spider-shaped command vehicle was driving at full speed towards the fortress, and a set of huge tires rolled up layers of smoke and dust.
Through the car window, one can see a large number of armored groups following them from far and near. Each unit is traveling at full speed and is undergoing simple reorganization while traveling.
Dongfang Masahiro left enough firepower in the center of the desert and was responsible for destroying the wandering blade beasts.
As for the fortress, the most important thing now is to transport enough drones and supporting control centers back to find a way to seal the hole on the forty-ninth floor.
In the holographic projection, the cross-section of the fortress was enlarged several times, and the red dots representing the bladed beasts had rushed into the forty-ninth floor and quickly charged towards the forty-eighth floor.
Yes, these blade beasts are not in a hurry to kill humans on the forty-ninth floor. They are crazy, but they have a clear purpose. There are three general-level blade beasts that have not yet grown up and are commanding them underground.
"Blow up the connecting road to 4849!"
"yes!"
Dongfang Masahiro said quickly: "Where are the defense troops!"
"The vanguard has begun to enter the central city! It will take a lot of time to transport heavy firepower!"
"The self-destruction device of the connecting road has been activated! Three, two, one, successfully blown up!"
"The automatic weapons on the forty-nine level are activated! They are firing at full strength! The blade beasts are stacked upward!"
Dongfang Masahiro said firmly: "Let them hurry up! Move faster! Except for the forty-fifth floor, the fire escape gates are closed on all other floors! All floors of the fortress enter closed mode! These blade beasts should want to penetrate our garrison. army!"
"yes!"
"Increase the detection frequency! Is there a reply from the psychic?"
"I have replied! They will protect the middle city and the upper city!"
Dongfang Masahiro narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not say much. Instead, he said: "Call! Just say that Fortress 76 thanks them for their efforts! Send the order to every team! Tell the garrison of the fortress! The survival of the 800,000 human beings in the fortress is at stake. It’s all up to them! Let the captains of each brigade guard the key points according to their tasks!”
"yes!"
Zhou Zhengde suddenly shouted: "Commander! A short and medium-range missile was launched in the direction of the fortress, a blank bomb!"
Dongfang Zhenghong frowned and looked at Zhou Zhengde.
Zhou Zhengde did not hesitate and directly showed the picture to Dongfang Zhenghong.
That's the perspective provided by the camera mounted on the missile.
Wang Jixuan, who was wearing a helmet and black combat uniform, folded his hands with thick insulation gloves and held the front of the missile tightly.
This missile, which can calculate its own ballistics and flight control trajectory, targets the wasteland in the southwest corner of the fortress.
What's the use of going back alone? Dongfang Zhenghong didn't understand.
Moreover, even if he could resist the acceleration of a missile flying at supersonic speed, how could he stop it?
Although Dongfang Zhenghong wanted to ask this question, he had no time to pay attention to it now. He nodded to Zhou Zhengde and continued to dispatch the garrison troops and select defensive points.
The first combat force will arrive on the forty-fifth floor in six minutes;
Most of the fortress's heavy firepower cannot be mobilized inside the fortress in a short time.
A bold and crazy idea took shape in Dongfang Masahiro's mind.
The fortress is not a high-rise building, it is embedded in the ground, and each layer can be independently supported... He is the commander, and he must preserve the main body of the fortress, including people, machines, and industrial capabilities.
Therefore, it is crucial whether the remaining garrison can block this swarm of blade beasts.
"commander!"
The female technician beside her stood up quickly, her voice trembling slightly as she tried to stay calm.
She reported quickly: "According to the fortress surveillance footage, blade beasts appeared and mutated. Some blade beasts evolved flying wings similar to those of mid-level blade beasts, and their shells softened. This evolution occurred on the forty-eighth and forty-ninth floors. layer happens!”
Dongfang Zhenghong rushed to the female technician's operating table in two steps.
In a dozen stacked projection screens, blade beasts were devouring each other. The winged blade beasts took off staggeringly, then broke away from the group of blade beasts surging forward and flew directly to the forty-sixth floor.
There are already hundreds of them!
They... are going to the seventh floor, cutting off the connection between the middle and upper cities, preventing the surface garrison and subsequent human reinforcements from entering the lower city, and then starting a murderous revenge on the middle and lower cities!
The young king insects of this blade beast are dead, and they are taking revenge!
Dongfang Masahiro quickly ordered: "Close the fire gates on all floors of Midtown immediately! Close the elevators! Open all elevator shaft compartments! The passages on the seventh and sixth floors must not be lost! This is the main way to march downwards! The piles of people must also be given I'll keep it! Where are the psychics! Let them come together!"
"yes!"
In the middle of the sand table, red dots rushed up quickly.
They rushed into the forty-sixth floor and rushed towards the fire escapes in all directions. A small number of them encountered psykers, and most of them entered the fire escapes and rushed upward at high speed.
Dongfang Masahiro walked back to his seat, held the handle and slowly sat down, taking a deep breath.
…
Woo, woo!
The urgent warning sounded through the thirteenth floor of Fortress No. 76.
Wei Na patted the heads of the two young nurses in front of her and warned: "You just hide in this bathroom and don't come out. I'll go see if they need military medical care."
"Sister Na, don't go!"
"It's okay, I can use a gun."
Wei Na quickly took off her high heels and put on the light sterile shoes used for surgery, smiling softly:
“The configuration of all rooms in the middle city is the same, and this alloy door can withstand the attacks of some low-level blade beasts.
"If you hear the order saying that the elevator shaft and fire gates are closed, that's the real trouble. It means that the Blade Beast has come over. Each fire valve is fifty centimeters thick.
"Okay, you guys stay here while I go see if they need any help."
"Hey, Sister Na!"
Wei Na waved her hand, closed the bathroom door, grabbed the medical first aid kit on the side, took the pistol she had obtained through connections after the 'Hua Ge Incident', checked the bullets, loaded the bullets, and walked away with the first aid kit on her back. Rush out of the medical room quickly.
A group of security forces members happened to be passing by outside.
"How can I help?"
"Doctor Wei Na! Please go to the security center shelter immediately! We are patrolling! The Blade Beast is breaking through from the 49th floor! The lower city cleaning team is said to be gone."
Wei Na asked: "Is there an elevator available?"
"It should be possible, the central elevator should be able to do it!"
"Okay, thank you," Wei Na turned around and ran towards the central elevator.
In her understanding, the military would need a large number of medical staff later on. She could go to the military camp to report, take an elevator from the thirteenth floor to the seventh floor and then to the sixth floor, and then she could find an elevator directly to the military camp on the surface.
However, Wei Na just took two steps.
Woo, woo——
After a long siren, an electronically synthesized female voice broadcast appeared throughout the fortress:
"Attention residents of the fortress, please return to your residence immediately and lock the door. Please do not panic. We are dealing with a small group of blade beasts."
"Attention residents of the fortress, please return immediately..."
"Please note that in order to prevent blade beasts from escaping, the elevator shaft's sectional compartments have been activated and the elevator has been disabled."
"Please note that all fire gates are being closed. Please do not go outside the fire gates. All residents are asked to return to their homes immediately and lock their doors."
Is the situation already that bad?
Just as Wei Na was about to return to the clinic to comfort the two young colleagues who had just arrived, a shout suddenly came from the capillary passage in the distance: "Hurry! Come quickly! Who knows the equipment! Fire door number 6 Living!"
Wei Na was startled for a moment, then immediately turned around and ran in that direction.
Many figures were running towards Fire Door No. 6. The main body of the fortress has existed for decades, and there is a high possibility of circuit aging. The fire gate is a device used to block each floor. There are as many as four ways to open it. Wei Na read it carefully in the fortress manual.
Doctors in this era know more or less about the maintenance of medical equipment.
Wei Na quickly met seven or eight men and women. They all made eye contact and ran to Fire Door No. 6 without saying a word.
A few minutes later, Wei Na arrived at the scene panting.
There were already seven or eight members of the security team in the corridor leading to the fire door. Half of the heavy valves that had fallen down were stuck, and a string of electric sparks came out of the wall in the corner next to it.
Sure enough, the wiring is aging.
"I'll do it! Intermediate mechanic!"
A middle-aged man shouted, quickly rushed to the corner wall, and skillfully opened the hidden valve on the wall, and a faint smoke appeared inside.
There are professionals.
Everyone was visibly relieved.
suddenly……
The buzzing sound of flapping wings penetrated into Wei Na's ears.
Wei Na was stunned for a moment, and everyone subconsciously looked at the fire door that was halfway down. Wei Na was slightly possessed and looked at the dark fire escape.
The black vertical pupils appearing on the white conjunctiva looked right at Wei Na.
A slender blade beast gathered six sharp blade limbs and vibrated two pairs of thin crystal wings, like an oversized wasp.
Wei Na pulled out her pistol and shot immediately!
This bladed beast suddenly rushed forward from a standstill and got directly under the valve!
Bang! Bang bang!
"shot!"
Wei Na's shout shortened the reaction time of the members of the security team.
Three or four people opened fire at the same time, and the two of them hurriedly pulled the safety bolt. The bladed beast's raised blade limb had already swept past.
The middle-aged man who was busy repairing the wiring opened his eyes wide. His upper body suddenly lost support. Before he felt any pain, his body had already fallen downwards.
"ah--"
"Blade Beast!"
Screams, gunshots, fluttering wings.
Wei Na emptied her pistol bullets and turned around to run away. She had already discovered that the bullets from the pistol and rifle, apart from slightly hindering the movement of the bladed beast, could not penetrate the outer bones of the mutated bladed beast at all!
The two members of the security team screamed, and the Blade Beast locked its eyes on Wei Na. It fluttered its wings and rushed forward, fully unfolding its body in the narrow passage.
"Dr. Wei, get out of the way!"
A somewhat familiar voice sounded.
Wei Na looked up and saw a group of figures rushing towards this side.
The man in the lead, wearing a black helmet and a pair of mechanical prosthetic arms, was grabbing a metal copper pipe more than three meters long and rushed past Wei Na while yelling.
Lan Yuzai? The Good Guys Gang?
Don’t go…
The metal copper pipe is pressed against the blade beast's chest!
Lan Yuzai gritted his teeth and shouted, his body suddenly stopped and he slid backwards.
But behind him, seven or eight young people in sportswear had already rushed up, shouting and hugging the back end of the metal pipe, barely holding back the bladed beast!
The blade beast slowly tilted its head, as if thinking, its vertical pupils expressing disdain.
Then, the white conjunctiva on its face retracted on its own, revealing its terrifying mouthparts.
Circles of sharp teeth looked like eyes, staring at Lan Yuzai and his little brother.
ah--
A spiritual shock visible to the naked eye swept over!
Several people behind Lan Yuzai screamed at the same time. Lan Yuzai, who was the first to bear the brunt, gritted his teeth and groaned. A pair of mechanical prosthetic limbs tightly grasped the metal pipe, and his muscles were pulsating!
Behind the helmet, there was blood on his ears and the corners of his eyes, and he let out meaningless screams.
Two figures rushed from behind.
It was Lin Huo and Lin Yong who were sent by Zhou Zhengde to take Wei Na to the asylum center on the thirteenth floor!
They rushed to Lan Yuzai, each grabbed two miniature grenades, and before the blade beast closed its mouth after releasing the shock wave, they threw the grenades into its mouth!
Boom!
Green blood splashes!
——These blade beasts that have evolved flying wings are far less sturdy than the mutated blade beast that Wang Jixuan encountered in the passage. Their defensive capabilities are even slightly inferior to low-level basic blade beasts. Their main evolutionary direction is mobility. , aggressiveness, and lightweighting itself.
The body of the blade beast slowly fell down.
Lan Yuzai knelt on the ground holding the metal pipe, his eyes glazed over.
In front of him, Lin Yong and Lin Xiu were affected by the explosion. The skin of one's back was almost blown to pieces, and the thigh of the other was pierced by a bladed beast's outer bone.
valve! Fire valve!
Wei Na resisted the urge to vomit, dragging her extremely sleepy body towards the valve.
As long as the lines that the engineer uncle caught just now are connected, it should be possible to temporarily bypass the burned path?
Buzz, buzz.
A dense sound of flapping wings appeared next to her ears. Wei Na trembled all over. Her spirit was at the end of her strength. She touched two wires lightly and saw a weak electric spark.
The bladed beast hovered outside.
Not just one.
They are attracted to the corpses of their own kind inside.
Wei Na pressed the two wires together, the valve trembled slightly, and there were several sets of unconnected lines below.
Those bladed beasts are already rushing in!
“Ah, ah!” Wei Na kept shouting because of her nervousness, tears almost bursting out of her eyes.
Lan Yuzai, who was kneeling there, shook his head hard, his Adam's apple was trembling, and he lowered his head tremblingly, seeing the long-faded pink talisman on his chest.
Lan Yuzai could just see the three mutated blade beasts staring at him and his mechanical arm.
They seem to be afraid.
Do you mistakenly think that his prosthetic arm is the same thing as Battle Girl's mechanical arm?
Doctor Wei Na was standing there.
Lan Yuzai stood up tremblingly, staring fiercely at the bladed beasts. He grabbed the grenade bag on Lin Xiong's waist, took out a miniature grenade, pressed the release button to activate, ran forward, and dived with his head down.
The three bladed beasts dodged backwards. Lan Yuzai stood firm on the platform outside, jumped up, and pounced on the nearest bladed beast.
The activated miniature grenade was stuffed back into the grenade bag, and he suddenly opened his arms.
Bah.
A blade limb penetrated Lan Yuzai's chest.
Lan Yuzai's body shook a few times, and he suddenly grasped the limbs of the bladed beast with both hands, and pressed the grenade pack towards the bladed beast's chest.
A series of somewhat unbearable pictures flashed before his eyes, with more than a dozen timid and helpless faces passing by.
‘Ah, no chance to hang out with the big guys. ’
'I'm sorry, I wasn't very sensible before...'
boom!
Wei Na was thrown away by the incoming fire, and the slightly swaying fire gate fell heavily.
