716 Operation Rainforest (4)
Van Vliet's ammunition volume, a historical term for the war to aid Korea. One of Citigroup's well-known theories of firepower means that a huge amount of ammunition is invested in intensive bombing and artillery bombardment at any cost to carry out powerful suppression and devastating strikes against the enemy, with the intention of quickly and efficiently annihilating the enemy's living forces, making it difficult for them to organize an effective defense, and minimizing the casualties of our personnel.
In the War of Aid to Korea, Citigroup had just won World War II, and the experience of the war told them that firepower projection is everything. Therefore, in the war of aid to Korea, the stalemate that was thought to be called Van Vliet brilliantly inherited the consistent "sea of fire tactics" of the Citi army, and "carried it forward". Post-war statistics showed that the amount of ammunition he used in combat was more than five times the allowable limit under Citi's war rules. Journalists refer to it as "Van Vliet ammunition volume". These munitions preemptively turned all the places that Citi Nation had to pass through into a scorched earth. Citigroup pilots looked from the air to the ground and said that in the places where the fighting was taking place, "there could be no more living things."
Outcome...... Citi was eventually slapped in the face, and Van Vliet's ammunition was of no use against a heroic and tenacious opponent.
At the mention of this, Chester sneered: "At least we don't treat human life as a consumable." ”
Crash......
The chief officials on both sides were stunned, and the people below naturally didn't give each other a good look, and the field service on the Red Sea trade side and the field service on the Aegis side were about to break out. The spiritual pressure generated by the temptation of the two sides of each other blew the insect corpses in the ground into a mess.
"Well, there's no point in arguing like that, that was sixty years ago. Manager Chen suddenly smiled faintly: "Chester, there is a rainforest in front of you, since you want to compete for a high and low, and we can't fight, how about an interesting game?"
"How do you want to compare?" Chester sneered.
"From now until the end of the rainforest crackdown, based on the number of spirit cores, how about kneeling and kowtowing to the winner, and finally being the loser?" asked Manager Chen.
"Okay, I've been thinking about it for a long time. Chester clapped his hands and looked at the Aegis field staff behind him: "Everyone heard, it's up to you whether we kneel for them or they kneel for us." ”
......
It had been seventeen hours since the insect swarm rushed out of the outer forest of the forest, except for the main force of the insect swarm that was stopped inside the rainforest by the sea of fire, and the insect swarm that rushed out of the sea of fire and caused a devastating blow to the Mexican management began to be completely suppressed in the eighteenth hour. The first free cultivators who entered the edge of the jungle began to do it, and they formed teams of three in groups of five, forming their own teams, and using their own methods to bombard the insect swarm. Soon, the swarm was forced back about ten kilometers beyond the rainforest line.
The free cultivators fought a lot along the way, not only destroying a large number of insect swarms, but also obtaining a lot of spirit cores. Now insects have entered the state of "spirits", and three or four of the ten insects often have spirit cores in their bodies. Although these spirit cores are not large, a small spirit core is equivalent to all the spiritual energy of a first-tier qi refiner.
Of course, those who can come to participate in the encirclement and suppression are not at the level of a first-level qi refiner, and it sounds like all the aura of a first-level qi refiner is very small. But don't forget, insect swarms never appear in the form of individuals, often hundreds or even tens of thousands when they appear, and every time you eliminate a small insect swarm, you can get thousands of small spirit cores, which add up to a lot, and the aura is also very amazing.
Free cultivators think that they don't like to rely on institutions or sects, and they usually have few resources for cultivation, where have they ever seen the grand occasion of losing money in the sky, and this is even more powerful than falling money in the sky, it is directly dropping aura. The freelance cultivators, whose morale was high, were like bulldozers, pressing the swarm of insects that seeped out of the flame blockade for nearly twenty kilometers or so, approaching the forest line area ten kilometers at the edge of the jungle.
Originally, they wanted to push it in one go, because because the cultivators of the formal institution hadn't made a move yet, once they made a move, everyone wouldn't be able to pick up any good things.
But they thought too simply, and after a few times of charging and trying to fight, the free cultivators knew that the beginning here was the real purgatory. It doesn't make sense that these insects can incapacitate Mexican's law enforcement agencies and continue to advance outward under the firepower of the army.
First of all, these insects have evolved to the level of spirits, and they can easily judge the danger at first, and it is not so easy to surround and kill, once they find that something is wrong, they will not be as tough as at the beginning, but they will learn roundabout tactics, and after gathering more insect swarms, they will come to the battle again. Secondly, insects that have evolved to the spirit level have made great progress in all aspects of their attributes, and because the insect swarm is composed of various insects, they often face a swarm, and they have to face a series of problems such as venom, foul odor, itching, allergies, etc.
In the end, the insect swarm behind the wall of fire was the real main force, although it was covered by billowing smoke, and everyone could hear the sound of wings and the chirping of insects behind them. Occasionally, the swarm tears through the smoke, and you can see a giant swarm of insects behind the smoke like a "wall", and no one wants to go up and become a snack for insects.
Therefore, after the freelance cultivators broke through for about twenty kilometers, their speed began to slow down, until they reached about five kilometers, and the freelance cultivators began to suffer casualties, and they were stuck with the insect swarm.
Of course, they were not the main force in the first place, and the main force in carrying out humanitarian relief was always the state-led law enforcement agencies. When the casualties of the free cultivators were one-fifth and they could no longer withstand the pressure, the members of the law enforcement agency formed a neat formation, opened a thirty-kilometer-long front horizontally, and began to rush inward.
It's not that they stall for time, the people of the state law enforcement agencies are very cautious in this regard. Free cultivators come here just for the spirit core and money, of course, the people who enforce the law by the state can't say that they don't fancy these things, but they still have a bottom line, and after taking other people's spirit cores and money, the problem has to be solved. But with the chaotic rush, it is easy to let go of the fish that slips through the net, so a group of law enforcement agencies saw the tactics of the Aegis and the Red Sea trade horizontally, so they simply followed the same example, with these two bigwigs as the center, and pulled up the battle line horizontally.
In this way, you can press all the way in, and you don't have to worry about fish that slip through the net.
And the state agency is very fierce.
There is firepower to deliver firepower, like Citigroup, that number of rocket launchers have never been heard, although the heavy artillery has no target but is idle, just aimed at the smoke and then bombarded, under the principle of firepower first, the Aegis broke through very quickly, and even once formed a formation with the Aegis as the "tip of the knife".
With the Aegis as the tip of the sword, the Red Sea Trade will definitely not be able to afford to lose this person, the Aegis is a cultivator with a technology bonus, but the world is recognized as a cultivator with the strongest attack power. Because there are spirit cores along the way that can replenish the spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy of the spiritual core will turn into transparent crystals like glass balls after it is used up, but it can still be counted, so under the command of Manager Chen, a group of cultivators of the Red Sea Trade began to bombard indiscriminately with magic tricks, and for a while, thunder, lightning, fire, and wind were combined, and the blockers were invincible. Moreover, the mechs of the air crew group mixed in it are also very discerning, and once the partner has the phenomenon of spiritual energy depletion, he will immediately open up the firepower to the top.
Such...... The battle line was drawn in the shape of an "M"......
It was the first time for Li Huan to participate in such a large-scale encirclement and suppression activity, and Manager Chen did not assign him any specific tasks, so Li Huan simply followed the partners of the air crew brigade to act together. In terms of fighting methods, Li Huan is more inclined to this side.
"I never knew that insects could be so fierce...... Li Huan sighed: "The performance of the current mecha seems to have improved again, or has your ability improved?"
"It's all improved, Brother Huan, do you know what I admire you the most? "The mecha worn by Han Dong is equipped with two Gatling Vulcan cannons, and the steel-core armor-piercing shells are recklessly harvesting insect swarms. Wherever those two glowing lines of fire went, they would immediately push the swarm out of a vacuum, but it didn't work, more bugs would fill it up immediately.
"Or I'll cry?" asked Li Huan.
"Brother Huan, to be honest, what did you think when you saw that 'Quetzalcoatl' at that time? We later learned that that thing fought hard for more than a dozen peace guards before dying, what kind of monster is this. Han Dong sighed: "It seems that in terms of, it will be difficult for me to catch up with you in my life, I think if I encounter that thing, I will definitely not be able to run away." But this is the first time I've seen you run away, really, according to your habits, shouldn't you be going to be hard?"
"I have a problem with my brain, so I ...... hard"
Li Huan and Han Dong chatted all the way, and after the transformation of the super-nuclear elements extracted from the crystal nucleus that Li Huan brought back, the performance of the mecha of the air crew brigade was more than doubled, and after Han Dong and the others began to cultivate, they brought the performance of the mecha to the extreme. A mech can carry many times more material than before, which means that their attack strength can be several times more sustained or several times more powerful.
Manager Chen and Chester competed, that is, the Red Sea Trade and the Aegis, and when the two sides competed, the level of violence was simply terrifying, and the swarm in the outermost part of the forest was defeated, and the free cultivators finally realized the ferocity of the state institutions.
The two "sharp knives" were pushed in front of the sea of fire blockade, and before the thick smoke and raging fire, they finally decided to postpone the breakthrough - this is the nearest command post in Mexico.
The sea of fire was burned by the Mexican military standing on a small high ground with flamethrowers. After the "coalition forces" pushed to the small heights, the heads of the various agencies went to the small heights, where there was the headquarters of the Mexican military, and perhaps there were people from the Mexican law enforcement agencies. Everyone climbed up to the small plateau, which was a small hill about 100 meters above the flat ground, and Manager Chen and Chester met again.
"Chen, your movements are not slow, I thought you would be ten kilometers away. Chester scoffed.
"Although Van Vliet didn't do much on the battlefield of Korea, he seemed to be a good hand at fighting bugs. Manager Chen did not give in.
"We have field medical vehicles on hand, and if a Red Sea trade field worker is injured, please feel free to open your mouth and rest assured, we will treat them in the spirit of humanitarianism. ”
"Is that all you have to do to speak quickly?"
Just now, when it was advancing rapidly, the Aegis and the Red Sea trade became sharp knives, which greatly reduced the pressure on other agencies, and these two sides can now be said to be the two strongest law enforcement agencies on the earth - although Citi Nation is not good at cultivation, but the technology bonus is indeed high. Originally, everyone thought that under the leadership of these two bigwigs, everyone could live a peaceful and stable retirement life, but they didn't expect that before they crossed the line of fire, the two quarreled......
However, although these two have personal grudges, they are also big men, and they quickly shut up after only a few arguments. Now the suppression of the rainforest is the first task. Under the leadership of the two, everyone went together to find the headquarters on the hills. It was a small bunker structure, and the structure was a permanent fortress of reinforced concrete, and it stands to reason that the people inside should have survived.
But when everyone entered, the headquarters was already in shambles, and there was not a single person alive. Five or six bodies were scattered in the ground, in a horrible state. It is no wonder that even people from special law enforcement agencies have not survived, and even more so ordinary soldiers.
But why is the sea of fire still maintained?
Soon someone found the answer, it turned out that it was an automatic programmed weapon, once programmed to automatically breathe fire, but the fuel could not last long, apparently an officer set up the automation system at a temporary time. I finally reached the front line, but I didn't have a contact person, how can this continue?
"Two, there's a message here! It's a video!" Suddenly, the commander of a law enforcement agency shouted, he took a small DV and sent it to Manager Chen and Chester, look at this, look at that, and don't know who to give it to.
"Connect to the monitor. Manager Chen said.
The commander suddenly realized, found a monitor, connected it to a working monitor, set it up to play, and suddenly, a slightly frightened face appeared inside. He looked outside, as if he was on guard against something, and left what could be the last message of his life on the DV device.
"This is Outpost 113, we have just experienced another attack by the swarm, but fortunately the sea of fire has forced them back, the sun god is above, I have never seen such a terrifying sight, the swarm obscures the sun...... Okay, I'll cut a long story short, I'm the commander of Outpost 113, we've been through seven biter storms, and now I'm the only one left. I don't know where the bugs come from, or why they're so cranky, I'm leaving this news for those who can see it, and I hope the message I left will help you somewhat. ”
When everyone heard this, they all pricked up their ears.
"First of all, in the past secondary attacks, we have learned that only fire can do something against these bugs. The biochemical potions we tried at the beginning were completely ineffective, and the only way to destroy the swarm was to use fierce flames, and smoke to block their path. However, I don't think the flamethrower's fuel will last long, so if anyone reads this message, please keep the fire wall intact anyway...... If there is no fuel supply nearby, there is a last resort, there is an oil pipeline belonging to the Gulf oil to the southeast of Outpost 113, blow it up, and may God forgive me for these words......"
"Go, bring the explosives, find the oil pipeline that the officer said. Chester paused the scene and said immediately, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Manager Chen: "Chen, you have no opinion, right?"
"This decision is the right one, I have no opinion, the wall of fire cannot be extinguished. Manager Chen said seriously, and after speaking, he also pointed to a field officer of the Red Sea trade: "Go with them, find a way to find the fuel depot for the flamethrower, and deliver supplies, this task is entrusted to you." ”
"Yes!"
The two field agents of Aegis and the two field agents of the Red Sea Trade answered immediately, then looked at each other and left.
"If we're lucky enough to resist the swarm, I have some bad news. The video continued to play, and the expression of the officer in the video became more anxious: "According to our exploration, the insect swarm in the rainforest is just an advance team, and our reconnaissance team has been attacked by some mutated creatures, which seem to be creatures in the original rainforest...... They don't know why they suddenly became huge, strong, and flexible, but they disappeared without a trace after this appearance, which is a doubt, and those who saw my last record must pay attention. ”
Chester and Manager Chen glanced at each other and nodded, both of them were experienced commanders, of course they didn't believe in the mutation of rainforest creatures, and the most terrifying thing was the insect swarm. There must be something else scary behind the biter. The beasts and various plants in the rainforest may also have some mutations, which is to be expected, whether it is Manager Chen, Chester, or the commanders of other law enforcement agencies, when they see this video, they are actually relieved.
The biological mutations in the rainforest, except for insects, are beasts, and they have also estimated that the degree of mutation of beasts must be higher, but it doesn't matter, if everyone is prepared, it is not a big problem to exterminate the beasts that have mutated because of the aura.
But then, the words that everyone heard were terrifying.
"The next thing I don't want to mention is that I feel like I'm crazy. Really, after seven biter attacks and seeing a huge and brutal beast, I thought I wasn't afraid of anything, and I was at ease with everything. I see it...... Let me first state that I am not mad, I am definitely not mad, but I have seen some people coming out of the fire, shirtless, with big earrings, painted in various colors such as red, yellow, blue, and black, with fur hats on their heads, and spears and shields...... My God, I've seen it in museums, it's an ancient Aztec ......"
"I know you think I'm crazy, I'm not crazy, I do...... No, they're coming through the wall of fire again......"
Squeak ...... At this point, all the images come to an abrupt end.
The video left by the officer of the 113 post before he died silenced everyone, and the small post was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground. Everyone, look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say, what the officer said is too mysterious, how can it be called an Aztec crossing the sea of fire? With spears and shields, and animal skins, they crossed the wall of insects and crossed the sea of fire...... Not to mention that the Aztecs perished hundreds of years ago, and they just crossed the wall of insects and fire?
Even Manager Chen and Chester stopped talking when they heard this.
Let's believe it, obviously, the officer kept emphasizing that he was not crazy, but there were already many people at the scene who thought he was crazy, and only a madman would emphasize that he was not crazy. But don't believe it, there's no reason for the officer to say these things to deceive people, right?
"Manager Chen, the resurrected living dead...... Don't you think it has anything to do with the Huangquan Guard? Li Huan groaned.
"Are you sure that the Huangquan Guards are the living dead?" Manager Chen muttered, "If it's all the living dead, it's much easier." ”
"No, just speculation. Li Huan shook his head.
In fact, before officially entering the front, Li Huan always had a doubt in his heart. Huangquan Guard, Huangquan Guard, what the hell is Huangquan Guard. He'd been struggling with the question since he heard the word in the time anomaly. He didn't get a lot of information from the high priest. First of all, in the information he received, it was a witchcraft from ancient Egypt, which had been reformed by the Aztec people, and was combined into a terrible witchcraft mixed with two ancient civilizations. Secondly, for this witchcraft to be activated, it requires the burial and sacrifice of tens of thousands of lives to achieve it. Finally, and most importantly, the witchcraft of these two ancient civilizations is terrifyingly powerful, and when activated, it releases an astonishing death aura that envelops the Mesoamerican rainforest, and it requires royal blood to dispel it. Li Huan now has the emblem of the royal bloodline in his hands, which is not a problem, although he doesn't know how to use it yet......
But these things alone are completely useless.
Because in the end, Li Huan still doesn't know what the Huangquan Guardian is. During the few days in the hotel, Li Huan also discussed this issue with Manager Chen. Witchcraft that can produce such a large amount of dead qi is certainly not easy to deal with. If according to what Li Huan saw at the underground altar, then this witchcraft will produce insects - this has been realized, but if it is just some insects, although it is extremely difficult to deal with, but this level of witchcraft does not require 20,000 lives to sacrifice at all, and the witchcraft that uses 20,000 lives to sacrifice only produces insects, then the person who created this witchcraft in ancient Egypt should also be pulled out and beheaded.
Therefore, judging from the difficulty of activating this sacrifice that requires 20,000 lives, if it is only such a thing as the living dead, it is too child's play. So at the beginning, Li Huan and Manager Chen combined what Li Huan saw at the underground altar to guess that in the worst-case scenario, it was likely that a large number of soul-state or half-soul-state beings would appear. Because the fifteen hundred Aztec souls that Li Huan saw in the underground altar were formed after self-sacrifice. They're not souls anymore, they're half-soul beings, but it's okay...... When they were put away, they didn't have the sense of attack, otherwise Li Huan would have to be in a hurry.
Therefore, both of them felt that in the worst-case scenario, the witchcraft of the Yellow Spring Guardian was actually to summon a large number of soul and semi-soul beings, and in this case, not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators would be extremely mortally threatened. The half-soul life is okay, how strong the soul life is, even the Duke of Sherman has been recruited, he has dominated the Inquisition for decades, and he is known as the hero of the mad dog Sherman in the two world wars! His cultivation, his mental tenacity is still hit, although he was recruited after fighting with the humanoid just now, and he was caught in an unsuspecting situation, but this also shows how dangerous the soul life is.
Therefore, in addition to transferring people over, Manager Chen also secretly mobilized a large number of super-nuclear elemental weapons. This was also thanks to the large number of crystals that Li Huan brought back from that world.
So now hearing just some living dead people in Aztec attire...... Manager Chen and Li Huan both felt that it was too simple.
"What are you talking about, what Yellow Springs Guards, why don't we know?" Chester hurriedly asked.
Li Huan thought about it, now everyone is on the same front, although there will definitely be dirt on both sides, but there are many commanders of other institutions here, and hiding key information may harm them, so Li Huan simply explained the matter of the Huangquan Guard. After Li Huan finished speaking, everyone gasped again, if the matter is true, this time the matter does not seem to be as simple as everyone thinks.
I thought I was following the big guy to mix up some spirit core bonuses, but I caught up with the ancient witchcraft that was started by the most brutal and bloody empire in history that sacrificed 20,000 lives?
"Chen, what do you think?" Chester asked after a long pause, looking at Manager Chen.
He asked this very calmly, which meant that in this case, the two sides should put aside the dispute for the time being.
Manager Chen shook his head slowly, obviously agreeing with him. However, at present, the most information is Li Huan, and Manager Chen simply looked at Li Huan again. Li Huan was the initiator of this incident, and he did have the most information, but so far, there was no useful information at all...... Just when Li Huan was in a dilemma, and everyone was waiting for Li Huan to speak, suddenly, from behind the billowing smoke, it seemed to be from the depths of the rainforest, and a suppressed roar came. When the swarm behind the smoke heard this roar, as if they had received some order, they overwhelmed the sky regardless of the raging fire, and all of a sudden, the sky was obscured.
A rushing breath of death came from the depths of the rainforest, and this dead air made all the law enforcement agencies present shiver.
Of course, Li Huan also felt this dead air, his impression of the dead air was not too deep, in the secret realm of the South China Sea, Li Huan was chased by all kinds of zombies in turn, and finally knocked out an ancestor-level flying yaksha, if he hadn't opened a space door in time, the joint lineup that might explore the secret realm of the South China Sea would have been wiped out that day. But even if Li Huan exiled the Flying Yaksha in time, the posture of the Flying Yaksha when he appeared, the majestic, almost breathable, and dead air that can corrode everything, left too deep an impression on him.
"The living dead!" Li Huan subconsciously muttered to himself: "Such a heavy death breath! Is this the first wave or the last wave? Wouldn't it be to wake up all the dead people in the Aztec Empire into zombies on the spot...... Even if it wasn't a soul-like life, it would be too much fun to wake up everyone in the Aztec Empire into zombies. ”
Li Huan was muttering to himself, but everyone was a cultivator, and his ear voice was extremely sensitive, and when he heard Li Huan's words, his face suddenly turned white - this thing is a joke, right? It must be a joke.
An ancient empire descended in the form of zombies?
One of the three major civilizations in Central and South America, along with the Inca civilization and the Mayan civilization, established an empire in central Mexico in the 15th century, known as the bloodiest and most mysterious in human history, with a population of 20 million and millions of slaves at its peak.
Is this the rhythm of summoning the "nuclear peace messenger"?
