Chapter 15: Humanoid Monsters

After Commander Jiang hung up the phone, he picked up the black microphone and said to the command center: "Let the air defense missile near the base be aimed at the opening of the spiral and wait for my order to prepare for launch." ”

At this point, in the image above the spiral, the top of the spiral has been completely separated.

The metal plate inside was revealed, which was also slowly opening at a much faster rate than its shell.

I pointed to the screen curiously and asked, "Commander Jiang, is this the orange level 1 incident you said?"

Commander Jiang nodded slightly and replied to me, "This one you see in front of you is the Orange Level 1 Incident. ”

I looked at Commander Jiang and asked curiously, "Who made this thing?"

"No one knows who made it, maybe there is information in the archives at headquarters, but unfortunately I can't get in. Commander Jiang shook his head helplessly and replied to me.

I continued to ask, "Who is that chief?"

Commander Jiang didn't explain, but said to me directly: "You'll know when you meet." ”

I thought to myself: It seems that Commander Jiang still doesn't want to tell me! I looked at the picture on the screen again.

At this time, a piece of metal plate at the top had been opened, revealing a space about thirty or forty meters large, and you could see dense wriggling red things inside, like ants.

On the other screen, the mysterious spiral is photographed at a sideways angle, with a complex mechanism connecting the subject under its two-sided open housing.

The person who designed this thing is really amazing, such a huge and intricate structure, it is not afraid of any firepower, and it is impossible to tell what fuel it is powered in, nor what material it is built of.

It is like an all-engulfing mystery that anyone who wants to get close to revealing secrets will be relentlessly run over by it.

When I was shocked by the scene on the screen, Commander Jiang picked up the black microphone and ordered: "Combat readiness troops fire!"

The artillery and tanks in the lower position opened fire in unison with the mysterious spiral.

From the lens, you can only see that the whole earth is covered with dust, the surface of the ground is like a piece of paper, and the dust kicked up by cannons and tanks is like smoke rising from the paper before it catches fire.

The tank's shells hit the unfolded armor of the spiral, and the flames of the explosion looked quite violent, but there was no trace of damage at all in the position after the explosion.

What it was before, and the armor-piercing shells of the artillery unit were very strange, all exploded above the spiral.

A normal armor-piercing projectile hits the armor and it does not explode, but burrows into the armor ranging from tens of centimeters to more than ten meters.

A cannonball is then fired from the armor, killing enemies hiding in the armor.

And this time the armored projectile fired automatically exploded over the spiral body, which is very unreasonable!

Only a few shrapnel fell after the explosion, and no material damage was done to the spirochetes.

The shrapnel fell below, and those dense little red dots automatically dodged.

Then the shrapnel kept falling, and after a while, it was covered by these small red dots, and completely disappeared into the spiral body, and it seemed that the result of this concentrated fire strike was not very good.

Commander Jiang looked at everything on the screen and ordered the troops to shoot again, and the effect was still the same.

At this time, the metal plate in the spiral body was basically opened, and dense red dots poured up.

At this time, the satellite clearly photographed these things that rushed out, they were somewhat human-like, or human-shaped, but crawling.

It resembles a snake standing upright, but there are six legs underneath them, latching to the surrounding metal materials, and they run out quickly.

They did have human heads on their necks, the whites of their eyes were very small, their pupils were pitch black, and they had four hands on their chests, two long and two short.

The lower two hands are long, long on the chest, which should be called claws, and the front ends of the hands have nail hooks like those of eagles.

Above the long hand, near the collarbone, is a pair of short hands, which are not much different from human hands.

These people also have two antennae on their heads, and their mouths are also very large, the corners of their mouths are basically up to the base of their ears, and their noses are flat with a small protrusion.

They are covered with a membrane-like tight-fitting suit, through which you can see that the body inside the clothes is squirming regularly, like the left chest of a person, up and down, and from time to time squirming from side to side.

Their bare skin was red, and the humanoid monsters rushed out in all directions through the open steel doors inside the spiral.

The soldiers, tanks, and artillery that surrounded them all opened fire in the direction of the monsters.

The soldiers in the armored vehicles kept firing the humanoid monsters with heavy machine guns.

And those monsters are also a little wise, constantly dodging left and right, and moving quickly.

Some humanoid monsters jumped four or five meters high, jumped directly at the neighboring soldiers, and bit off the heads of the soldiers next to him in one bite.

Some bit the soldier's body fiercely, and then turned his head and flicked it, and the soldier was thrown several meters away, falling heavily to the ground, lying there motionless, and it seemed that even if he did not die, he was seriously injured.

Although the firepower of the army surrounded outside was very strong, there were more humanoid monsters running and crawling out of the spiral body, dense and tidal, and they were not afraid of death.

Every time these humanoid monsters die, their limbs quickly dissolve.

Like dry ice exposed to sunlight, it slowly turns into a water-like liquid that seeps into the ground and disappears like water entering a sponge.

At this time, Commander Jiang frowned, looked at the situation on the combat screen, and ordered the black microphone in his opponent: "The air defense missile brigade immediately shoots at the opening above the spiral, activates the satellite precision guidance system, and launches two groups of Hell Fire missiles!"

On the big screen in front of us, eight missiles flew out of the mountains and forests, like matches, pulling their long smoke tails, flying towards the mysterious spiral, getting closer and closer.

We look at the screen, hoping for a miracle in our hearts, waiting for the missile to blow up this mysterious invulnerable spiral!

Two of them hit the open armor of the spiral, and a huge burst of flames exploded!

The nearby air was swept away by the heat of the explosion, like stones thrown into the water, causing ripples.

As the steam wave disappeared, the people in the combat command room all sighed.

The mysterious spiral on the screen still stands intact.

Six more missiles exploded over the spiral and suddenly blew themselves up without warning!

These missiles simply reach a certain area above the spiral and then explode on their own, and there are no visible objects in that area.

This is the same as the artillery of the previous artillery, which automatically exploded in the same position.

It's as if there's a transparent barrier guarding the mysterious spiral.

I suspect that the spiral has some sort of jamming mechanism inside, and that all offensive weapons will detonate when they reach a certain area above him.

Many of the humanoid monsters on the screen rushed into the encirclement and began to kill the soldiers outside the vehicle.

These humanoid monsters are also thinking and do not destroy armored vehicles, tanks and other vehicle weapons.

They just kill people, kill living creatures when they see them, and there are many monsters running towards the buildings on this side.

The soldier and the tank vehicle in front of him cooperated with each other to fight and retreat.

The humanoid monsters began to work together to locate the tank that was covering the soldiers, and a dozen of them rushed forward together, and together they overturned the tank.

After overturning, some monsters use their four claws in front of them to hook the entrance and exit of the tank turret, and as long as they open it, they can rush in and kill the tank soldiers inside.

More than 20 tanks had been overturned on the battlefield, and some soldiers detonated the shells inside after the entrance and exit of the battery were opened, and the humanoid monsters that rushed in were also killed.

Seeing the increasing casualties, Commander Jiang immediately ordered his troops to slowly retreat and expand the encirclement.

And ordered the artillery on the periphery to shell the humanoid monsters in the square on this side, as well as the humanoid monsters that came down one after another around the spiral, and the target of the attack was no longer dominated by the spiral.

There were too many monsters outside, and the retreating troops were somewhat scattered.

The soldiers had been trained for a long time, but none of them had ever encountered such creatures, and many of them were overwhelmed by the ferocious ways in which humanoid monsters killed.

Many soldiers were stunned for a moment when the monster rushed in front of them, and then they were killed by the monster in various ways.

The soldiers were limited in their ability to retreat, and the monsters moved very quickly, causing casualties to mount.

At this time, the encirclement that was constantly retreating and expanding around it began to be somewhat untenable.

Commander Jiang also contacted and mobilized several adjacent infantry divisions around the field army to surround and support our position.

However, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and nearby support can't reach here in a short time.

I looked at the situation on the combat screen, and I also felt that these troops were going to be unable to hold on.

Seeing that the encirclement is about to expand to a small three-story building above our underground combat headquarters.

That's when the spiral on the screen, it suddenly activated!

The previously opened metal plate began to close rapidly, visible from the perspective of the satellite.

The red humanoid monsters loaded inside it have basically come out to participate in the battle.

After a while, the outermost spiral armor of the spiral on the screen also began to close.

I thought to myself, is this spirochet going to be removed?

At this time, the spiral body on the screen, after its entire armor was closed, the huge front end began to rotate downward, like an electric drill, drilling into the ground.

It was clearly visible on the screen that its outer spiral armor was spinning rapidly, much more violently than when it came out of the mountain.

As it burrowed into the ground, another earthquake began to start nearby!

The 140-meter-deep underground combat headquarters we were in also began to vibrate with its movements.

Dozens of seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and the tip of the mysterious spiral had already drilled into the ground, leaving only a huge tail exposed.

At this moment, Commander Jiang's face became a little ugly, and he urgently ordered the people around him: "All troops must not retreat and flee the battlefield, and swear to defend the garrison, the support troops will arrive soon, everyone must hold on." ”

After speaking, Commander Jiang used a black microphone to order Battalion Commander Wu and his troops to pick us up in front of the three-story building.

Then Commander Jiang turned his head to me and said anxiously: "Come with me, get out of here, Xiao Wu is already waiting for us outside." ”

I looked at Commander Jiang, who looked nervous, and asked suspiciously: "How safe is here, why do you want to go out, there are so many humanoid monsters, isn't it very dangerous to go out!"

Commander Jiang looked at me anxiously and explained, "It's more dangerous here, you didn't see that spiral body drilling into the ground again, it will definitely crash into here!"

I don't believe that he can get through it so deep?

So he continued to ask: "This is a 140-meter-deep nuclear strike resistance bunker, can't it resist this spiral?"

Commander Jiang explained to me again: "Yes, this is a bunker that resists nuclear strikes, but the original design here is not impact-resistant, the spiral will definitely hit here, his material can withstand the impact of artillery shells, and the reinforced concrete here must not withstand its drill bit, we still have time to go out now, Xiao Zhao, come with me, there is no time to grind again!"

At this time, I listened to Commander Jiang's explanation, and finally understood why the spiral body had burrowed into the ground again, and it had been killing the combat headquarters for a long time!

It seems that it is not stupid, it understands that if the thief captures the king first and destroys our headquarters, he can take advantage of the chaos to kill everyone.

Everyone has no command, so they can only fight on their own, and the speed of breaking through and killing humanoid monsters will be faster.

"Okay, Commander Jiang, let's go now. ”

At this time, Commander Jiang picked up the black microphone for the last time and said to all the members of the combat command: "Everyone has seen that this spiral has gone into the ground again, and its target this time must be our combat headquarters.

After listening to the order, all the people in the combat headquarters stood upright, looked at Commander Jiang and saluted, and replied in unison: "Understood, commander!"

After Commander Jiang finished speaking, he calmly put the microphone on the table, and then turned around and trotted towards the elevator with Staff Officer Pu and I.

At this time, the underground combat headquarters did not fight for evacuation, and the soldiers on guard still waited for everyone to evacuate first, and then evacuated last.

I sighed in my heart: At this critical moment, everyone can still evacuate in an orderly manner, and it seems that the quality of the troops led by Commander Jiang is still very good.

I walked out of the elevator with Commander Jiang and Staff Officer Pu, and Battalion Commander Wu was waiting for us in the building, and when he saw us coming out of the elevator, he immediately trotted over quickly, saluted Commander Jiang and said: "Commander, our battalion has suffered heavy casualties, and now there are only a few dozen people left around me, and the rest of the soldiers who are alive cannot escape the encirclement." ”

Commander Jiang nodded and said, "Well, these people are enough, what vehicles are there outside?"

Battalion Commander Wu replied: "There are also three armored vehicles. ”

Commander Jiang continued to order: "Okay, let's go, evacuate here, and go to Mawei City, Xinghai Wharf in Suihai Province. ”

"Yes! Commander Jiang, I have also prepared a submachine gun for you. ”

Commander Jiang patted Battalion Commander Wu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Xiao Wu, you didn't follow me in vain, knowing that I was born in war, and I must participate in battles." ”

Battalion Commander Wu ordered the soldiers who followed him to hand over one of the three M43 submachine guns on their backs to me, Commander Jiang, and Staff Officer Pu.

I took the gun, and it was heavy in my hand, and it was much heavier than a pistol.

I looked at the barrel of the gun, the safety and reloading device were on the handle and the body of the gun, I pulled the safety and pulled the bolt back, and there was a click, and the loading was completed.

Commander Jiang saw that I loaded the submachine gun, patted me on the shoulder approvingly, and said to me with a smile: "Xiao Zhao can also use a gun, yes, this gun is standard, the firepower is very strong, and the recoil is not small, you have to be careful not to hurt your allies and yourself!"

I nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, Commander Jiang!"

At this time, the amplitude of the shaking of the ground became louder and louder, and the sound of metal hitting and rubbing stones was heard.

At this time, there were also gunshots, gunshots, and explosions inside and outside the building, and the feeling of this scene was more real and shocking than the picture on the screen seen in the underground headquarters.

At this moment, I looked out of the building in confusion, not knowing what the future would hold ahead.

Feeling the cold M43 submachine gun in my hand, my heart suddenly felt much more steady.
