The sky was filled with black clouds.

I couldn't tell if it was clouds, or radioactive fallout, or the smoke of artillery shells.

In the countryside to the east of Kashi, there are low-rise houses scattered here.

In that shadow, several mutant cockroaches wagged their meter-long tentacles, searching for rotting food around them.

They didn't react to the dozen or so people who walked past them. Only the smell of decay can whet their appetite. As a result, they will occasionally try to attack zombies when they are extremely hungry, but they will often be scratched to death by zombies.

If you see a zombie and a mutant cockroach walking together with a prejudice in a relaxed manner, there is no doubt that it must be because of the outbreak of xenomorphism. Because only the xenomorph tide will make the xenos temporarily forget their eating habits and attack the survivors together with the zombies looking for the living.

As for whether there are other cities that may erupt in xenomorph waves, no one knows. Most of them only stayed in the territory they were familiar with, and even the farthest caravans only made it to the Northern Territory.

The scope of the xenotide was limited to Wanghai City, and Jiang Chen, who was on the outskirts of Jiashi at the moment, only felt that the air was exceptionally clear.

"The battle was very difficult, yesterday our men advanced 500 meters in the direction of the Chiashi Sports Center, but they were quickly met with fierce resistance. The mutants got a lot of EMI bombs and EMP grenades out of nowhere. ”

"The snipers of the Stalker Corps helped a lot, but as the war zone advanced towards the city, there was simply too much cover. Mutant mortars and grenades also took a heavy toll on the Stalkers. ”

Watching the cockroaches on the side of the highway scurrying into the shadows, Cheng Weiguo pressed down the vigilant rifle in his hand.

"That's pretty bad. Jiang Chen grinned, happily taking Cheng Weiguo and a small team of soldiers. Walk in the opposite direction to Kashi.

The marshal did not get angry at the battle situation, but Cheng Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief.

But look at the front line that is getting farther and farther behind you. He smiled wryly.

"Marshal, may I ask where we are going?"

It's been more than ten kilometers long. If you go down further, you will go to the county seat next door, but you still haven't reached the place Jiang Chen said.

"It's here. ”

Jiang Chen stopped and looked at the abandoned warehouse in front of him with a smile.

Two days ago, when the helicopter brought him here, he casually found a spacious factory nearby to use as a munitions storage point. Due to the activities of mutants, there are no survivors in this area, so there is no need to worry about the weapons being stolen by scavengers. It is only necessary to stay as far away from the front line as possible and avoid being hit by stray mortar shells.

After choosing a position, he returned to the present world and waited for Maozi's arms to be in place. Then the arms were brought over on the ship.

Cheng Weiguo, who looked confused, followed Jiang Chen and walked into the factory.

And when he saw the contents of the factory, the confusion on his face turned to shock at a visible speed, and the round eyes almost bulged out of their sockets

"This, this is—"

Looking at Cheng Weiguo's shocked expression, Jiang Chen laughed heartily, then returned to the door and shouted at the dozen or so riflemen who were following them.

"Lads. Get ready to get in the car, and we'll send the mutants to God!"

In the pre-war period. Because fossil fuels have almost been phased out, only the rich will keep two out-of-print gasoline locomotives at home as collectors. Therefore, the locomotive that burns gasoline can almost be described as an antique on the side of the last days.

When Jiang Chen beckoned the soldiers to get into the car. He couldn't help but laugh and find that these old drivers had cars but couldn't drive them. In desperation, he had to go into battle in person. The soldiers were shown how to drive the thing.

Under the guidance of the marshal himself, these soldiers naturally studied very seriously. Fortunately, the principle of this gasoline-burning car is completely different from that of electric cars common in the last days. But the operating style is still somewhat similar, after spending more than an hour to familiarize myself with the use of equipment such as the clutch. The soldiers finally learned how to drive.

As for the formula for converting the distance and angle of the rocket, it has been copied on a slip of paper, and the soldier in charge of launching only needs to take the calculator and press it twice to calculate it.

Eight BM-21s drove out of the warehouse one after another, lined up under Jiang Chen's command, and then put down the brackets on both sides of the truck to fix it and complete the deployment. Nearly 100 survivors recruited from Site 7 were busy moving the almost full warehouse of ammunition out of the factory, and the two worked together to carry the 67-kilogram ammunition weighing nearly 3 meters long and pushing it into the launch tube.

Before loading the ammunition, Jiang Chen specially explained to them that he was loading those rockets with white paint. As for those with red paint, they are all solidified ******, which are specially used to deal with zombies and xenomorphs.

Loading is proceeding in an orderly manner.

And Jiang Chen took Cheng Weiguo to the roof of the building more than two hundred meters away.

Raising the binoculars, Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and looked at Jiashi, 13 kilometers away, and grinned.

"Take a second look now, we'll have to change things later." ”

Cheng Weiguo didn't pick up the binoculars, but glanced at the row of honeycomb rockets with some concern, and said with a wry smile.

"Isn't it really necessary to withdraw the soldiers from the city first?"

As for the weapons of two centuries ago, he was really worried about whether this pile of artillery would fall on his own people.

"Rest assured, leaving a distance of one kilometer is enough. ”

Although the accuracy of this old Maozi's weapon is a little worse, it will not deviate by a kilometer. Jiang Chen couldn't help but glance at Cheng Weiguo.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the "ancients".

"Marshal, where did you get these old antiques?" Cheng Weiguo picked up the command tablet and couldn't help but ask.

"The launcher is from a certain military museum, and the ammunition is produced according to the drawings. Jiang Chen didn't care about his abruptness, and replied casually.

Hearing that Jiang Chen didn't plan to say more, Cheng Weiguo didn't ask any more curiously. There is no doubt about loyalty, but curiosity is something that everyone will have.

The Yunzhi-51 has reached the skies over Jiashi, hovering beyond the range of the mutants' air defense.

Obscured by radioactive fallout and clouds, it obliterated its existence, providing the two of them with an aerial view of the battlefield. The wide-area radio life signal detection device turned on, scanned out the location of the mutants, and marked them as red dots on the tablets in Cheng Weiguo's hands.

Judging from the number of just 10,000 in the red dots, the mutants must have used a life signal shielding device, but this shielding device is limited in scope after all, and can only cover some important targets.

Circled the unmarked target through manual observation, Cheng Weiguo nodded to Jiang Chen, and then handed out the tablet in his hand.

The first artillery will be ordered by the marshal himself!

Looking at the loaded launch vehicles on the open ground two hundred meters away, Jiang Chen took the tablet in Cheng Weiguo's hand.

Distance parameters and strike position are clear at a glance.

"The whole battalion obeys the order! The azimuth is 220 degrees, and the distance is 14. 1 km of artillery preparation for shelling!"

The honeycomb-shaped rocket launch box slowly lifted up, stopping at almost the same angle, and when he saw the blue flags that were only ready to be erected, he took a deep breath and handed the tablet back to Cheng Weiguo's hand.

Raising his hand and pressing it on the headset, Jiang Chen looked in the direction of Jiashi and shouted.

"Fire!" (To be continued.) )
