Chapter 982: Panic, natural disaster, birth and destruction of all things!
The rumbling sound was covered by the muffled thunder that continued to burst out in the sky.
Occasionally a flash of lightning flashed.
The entire Qinggang City seemed to be vibrating, and the buildings on the ground creaked under the strain.
Several thick smoke rose from a distance against the rain, and boiling flames seemed to be burning hot in the sky.
For this city that has been occupied for a long time after the war, this kind of movement seems a bit strange.
But at this time, not many people cared.
Because in the seemingly unreachable depths of the thick fog, black lines are rapidly condensing and enlarging until...
"What is that!?"
< br>A few Qinggang soldiers who were sitting on the guard tower in front of them stood up curiously, picked up the biological scanning detection eyepiece hanging around their necks, and looked at the black lines.
Um.
Although there is a trace of heat reaction, it is not obvious, and the value does not reach the level of a living creature at all.
After reading this, it is almost certain that some mutated insects emerged from the cracks due to the rain and are marching quickly through the cracks in the city.
This has happened more than once or twice over the past few decades.
Almost every time a mutant beast wave breaks out, these poor little guys will leave their homes and go to a safer place to survive. They will not return quietly until the beast wave is over, bringing advance to the people in this city. Notices and warnings
Wait for the warning?
The guards put down their goggles and their expressions suddenly became solemn.
The last mutated damp outbreak was four years ago, with a scale of level three.
According to the new alliance's classification of this thing, there are five levels in total.
Among them, level 5 is the weakest, level 1 is the strongest, and level 3 is already a huge disaster for Qinggang City. At that time, there were four gopher men whose shelters failed to persist and had no choice but to fall. , killing nearly 100,000 people.
From now on, according to the calculations of experts from the Foundation, the next wave of beasts will be at least eight years away.
Why did it suddenly break out now?
Confused, the man who obviously looked like the captain among the few people scratched his head and decided to go back and report to the captain behind.
But before he could take off his equipment, he slipped down the ladder of the sentry tower.
A soldier who picked up the eyepiece out of curiosity suddenly said in surprise: "Captain, something is wrong. Why are these heat response values getting higher and higher, as if they are getting closer to us?"< br>
"What?"
The captain who was raising his feet was stunned. He quickly picked up the eyepiece and looked at the black lines again.
In the hazy, dreamlike fog, humans cannot directly penetrate the visual barrier and see the true mask of black lines.
But just like what the soldier said, the value on the biological scanning detection eyepiece is indeed getting higher and higher. It has exceeded the upper limit of mutated insects and is about to reach the level of mutated winged mice
"No OK, sound the alarm! ”
For a moment, in the gap in the mist opened by the rain, the captain just glanced at it, and cold sweat rolled down his back in an instant.
In that mist, there are insects and radioactive creatures running towards you.
Those are obviously
human beings!
The humans are limping along!
Buzz.
Buzz.
A low warning sound sounded, and instantly connected in front of the lightning wall.
Obviously, more than one team had experienced distant changes and pressed the only warning tool on their hands.
Because there was a wave of attacks just a few days ago, there are still many troops deployed behind the lightning wall.
In less than thirty seconds, two groups of thirty soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor flew out and accelerated in the direction of the black line.
“What happened?”
“What’s going on? Is someone attacking Qinggang Shelter again?”
“Look there, it seems like someone is coming. . ”
“No, they are so obvious. Do they want to confront Qinggang Shelter?”
"Damn it, this group of people won't anger Qinggang anymore and blame us."
"Stay back quickly, another soldier is coming out."
" .”
Unable to see clearly what was happening in the distance, more and more wanderers coming out of the lightning wall were talking about it.
Maybe it’s because I have no expectations for life.
As the crackling gun barrels and rumbling explosions suddenly erupted in the distance, these people not only did not run, but stopped and looked at it, with gloating on their faces.
Is someone calling again?
This Qinggang Shelter is indeed a street rat, and everyone is shouting to beat it.
It's a pity that if you want to defeat them, even all the gopher guys in this city may not be enough.
The best result is that the attacks of these people can divert the attention of Sunny Harbor Sanctuary from torturing wanderers like them.
As for more, no one dares to ask for more.
While the mechanical exoskeleton soldiers were fighting, five helicopters also hovered from behind the lightning wall, and their blades brought a huge storm sound towards the direction where the battle broke out.
Because it was flying almost close to the ground, the scattered rainwater fell more and more violently, hitting the homeless people below with crackling sounds, causing many painful groans.
Boom!
The fire of the explosion ignited the entire ground, and the rolled up air waves instantly engulfed the surrounding fog.
As expected of Qinggang City's ace air power, the addition of combat helicopters instantly changed the situation.
The most obvious thing is that a large section of the entire black line suddenly broke in the middle, which was probably cleared directly by a few cannonballs.
"It's a pity that they are here to die."
"With so many people killed in one blow, I'm afraid it's time to run away, right?"
"It seems not yet Run, my God, are these people so brave?”
"Is there someone coming to save us, the other wanderers who escaped?"
"You can pull me down, who will come back to save you, a bad old man?"
Battlefield This is not a brawl in a pub. Even if you have a bruised nose and face, you can get away with it just by pretending to be drunk.
This is a real millstone of flesh and blood. Once you step into it, you are very likely to become one of the elements whose sacrifice numbers are insignificant.
For elite soldiers, when the general casualty rate is around 10%, a serious low morale will occur.
Once the casualty rate exceeds 20%, a large-scale collapse will immediately occur.
For a group like the Rangers who have never been trained at all, 10% is the highest limit.
Especially when the 10% is broken suddenly, the impact will be even greater.
However, what is strange is.
Even though a large section of the black line in the distance was suddenly cleared, the remaining black line still did not break away.
They are still taking a "stable" pace and persisting in moving forward firmly and persistently.
"?"
The commander standing on the lightning wall was a little angry, picked up the communicator in his hand and cursed:
"Kevin, what are you doing? Let's release all your weapons and let them see how powerful we are."
"If these people come within 500 meters of our station, Lord Hades will definitely kill them. Skin!”
"Yes. But. They are not afraid of death!"
A intermittent voice came from the communicator. The fireman responsible for shooting the machine gun swallowed his saliva, and there was a slight tremor in the middle of the voice.
"Those wanderers are back, they are back again!"
"What? The wanderers are back!?"
A flash across the commander's face With a hint of joy, he quickly turned up the volume of the communicator.
"Be careful, don't scare them. I will send people to support you."
"Be careful, if someone is holding an industrial cough, if someone is holding a box-like device, Give me some eyes and don’t let your stupid hands ruin it!" I have been searching for the industrial center for almost a week, but there is still no news.
The wanderer who took that thing away seemed to have evaporated, disappearing overnight.
Many homeless people captured from the escape route have been interrogated several times, and no one has seen anyone carrying industrial cores.
The commander had no hope of getting it back, he just wanted to avoid punishment after Master Hades came out of the research room and got angry.
But now, the opportunity came to him so fortunately.
These returning wanderers have a high probability of getting the industrial core back!
“No, Lord Edmund, no, it’s not them!”
“It’s not them, what do you mean?”
"It's the wanderers, it's them, them"
"Damn it."
"They jumped on our plane, how is this possible"
"Quick, get out of here , get out of here!”
“Da da. da da da da da.”
The roaring sound of machine guns suddenly erupted, completely covering up the intermittent calls in the communicator.
Commander Edmund raised his head and looked not far away.
Although I couldn't see what exactly happened, in the fog, there was a black line rising along the ground, entangled in the black spot of a helicopter flying at low altitude.
A violent fire broke out at the black spot, trying to break free from the shackles of the black thread.
But before this one could get away, three more suddenly jumped up from nearby.
Buzz buzz.
The propeller spun and fell suddenly.
Boom!
A bright fire broke out less than one kilometer away, and the roaring air waves instantly rolled away the surrounding mist three hundred meters away.
The invincible helicopter formation was actually shot down?
This. How is this possible?
At this moment, not only Edmund was dumbfounded, but even the wandering slaves watching the show and the battle below also stared wide-eyed.
If the helicopter is compared to the big devil with invincible magic power, the black line below is like a weak warrior with faith.
When did the Rangers also have the means to control the air?
They actually withstood the firepower of Qinggang Shelter and killed one of the opponent's helicopters, frightening the other four and fleeing, fearing that if they stayed for a second, the current situation would be repeated.
This situation is not so exaggerated in your dreams, right?
However.
At this moment, all of this is really happening, and there is a deviation from everyone's perception.
Especially the Qinggang soldiers who had just suffered a defeat were in complete silence and their eyes were dull, for fear that the commander's wrath would fall on them in the next second.
Standing on the high wall, the city defense commander Edmund himself was also a little confused.
After coming back to his senses in an instant, he quickly grabbed the communicator in his hand and turned on all channels, spitting and roaring.
"Attack! Attack me!"
"All soldiers now put on your equipment, let me use the most intense firepower to let them know fear!"
"These damn wanderers, these damn rats, I want them to die, die!"
"Our artillery, bring it out, all the helicopter formations are activated, let me wipe them all out. ”
Once again, the homeless man fucked him right in front of his house, and the other party also took down a combat helicopter.
For Sunny Harbor Sanctuary, this is no longer a simple provocation.
No doubt a slap in the face, the kind that makes a snapping sound.
These wanderers, they actually want to use their own flesh and blood to create a new era for this Qinggang City?
Do they think they can really succeed!
Under Edmund's almost barking orders, pairs of soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor began to line up and run out of the gap.
More than a dozen tanks equipped with artillery also flew out, rushing towards the black line.
Eight helicopters took off again, this time they just flew over the city wall, and sixteen missiles instantly cut through the thick fog and landed on the black line position.
With the violent explosion, the horn of war sounded again here.
The black line formations instantly turned into a sea of fire. Countless figures were burned into black coals and fell to the ground staggeringly before they could even fight back.
Similar to the group of homeless people who were massacred in the city a few days ago, these people actually looked down upon death.
However, even if the disparity in strength between the two parties reached this point, they still moved forward firmly.
A captain in armor rushed to the front line, slammed the safety switches on his left and right hands, and fired wildly at the staggering figure more than a hundred meters away.
Although he was a little surprised, these people on the other side were like fools, and they didn't even fight back.
But watching each figure fall, the pleasure of mowing the grass still made him couldn't help but roar.
"Wuhu, it's so cool!"
The combat value on the digital eyepiece has been increasing, which means that the number of enemies killed is growing rapidly.
Already imagining the rewards he might receive when he returned, the Captain emptied the bullets in both guns in his left and right arms, and quickly took them from the ammunition magazine tied to his legs.
But when he emptied the magazine, changed the bullets and entered the shooting state again.
Not far away, the grass that he shot down stood up tenaciously.
Although the posture is very funny, as if the waist has been twisted 60 or 70 degrees, the forward speed is even slower.
But their target seems to be in the direction of the lightning wall!
“What the hell?”
“Aren’t they afraid of death? Don’t they feel pain?”
As a user of weapons, the Captain knows very well. What kind of damage will a 11.43 caliber bullet cause to the human body?
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as a human being is hit by a shot, even if it is not a vital point, he will definitely lose his combat effectiveness at the speed of light.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
The team members next to him also noticed this strange image and took a step back in horror.
They have no fear in fighting humans because they are well aware of the equipment gap between the two sides.
They don’t panic when fighting radioactive animals, because the impact of that thing can definitely be dealt with as long as it’s not a horde of beasts.
But fighting against a group of wooden stakes who were not afraid of death, hundreds of soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons all felt some inner fear.
This is very strange, like suddenly breaking through a point of fear that is close to the limit in people's hearts.
Looking at the figures staggering forward, the Tenth Commander opened his mouth and took a deep breath of the bloody smell in the air.
"What are you afraid of? As long as they cannot be resurrected, our bullets will definitely"
"Huh?"
A flash of lightning illuminated the black line in the distance.
In a sudden glance, I saw a face in the figure that was not familiar, but could be found in my memory.
The captain's whole body softened suddenly, and there was a sudden dampness in his crotch.
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
I remember correctly, that man...
Three days ago, he threw out the body of a homeless man with his own hands!
