Chapter Seventy-Eight: Hand-to-hand Combat
Explode! Violent explosion!
The power of the explosion when more than 100 kilograms of concentrated explosives were detonated at the same time, Shen Hao, who was a kilometer away, was swept into the air by the aftermath of the explosion, and countless building fragments scattered in all directions, crackling and hitting Shen Hao who was suspended in the air, making him grin in pain.
Fortunately, he was still far away from the impact center in advance, and Shen Hao was not hurt too much, but was pushed in the direction of the arsenal by the impact of the explosion.
Piercing sirens sounded, and countless warriors woke up from their sleep and rallied as fast as they could. The arsenal was opened, and the soldiers quickly equipped themselves with various weapons and surrounded the meteorite crash site.
Shen Hao ignored the tattered military uniform, and rushed into the arsenal quickly, he may be the only survivor of his company, but fortunately, the officer in the arsenal did not make too much trouble, allowing him to enter the storage warehouse of his company's weapons and equipment smoothly.
Raider IV Carbon Organic Armor, one of the Federation-style infantry armors, is made of Kevlart-type carbon organic memory fibers, which are strong and flexible and do not interfere with the soldier's movements.
Inside, there is an auxiliary mechanism that allows the wearer to exert more than four times the normal strength and speed. Comes with an infrared scanner, Cheron. The Miller Pulse Detector, the Russ Pulse Jammer, and the main weapon are a Baka III Heavy Flamethrower in addition to a pair of Tekmir high-frequency combat spikes, which are typical melee armor.
Shen Hao has long taken a fancy to this set of equipment, and after a few days of assault training, he has basically adapted to the use of these high-tech weapons, but unfortunately these things are fantasy technology and cannot be applied to real life.
Three minutes later, Shen Hao, who had completed the equipment, joined the straggler array amid the roar of the officers, and slowly advanced towards the meteorite drop point. Only then did he know that since just now, an unknown jamming signal had destroyed the electronic communications of the entire former satellite, and now the commanders could only direct the troops in the most primitive way.
Having lost the ability to communicate electronically, the Air Force was almost completely paralyzed, and the armored forces also needed to recalibrate the operating system. Now the only one who can react in time is Shen Hao's infantry division.
As the smoke and smoke of the skyrocketing fire subsided, more than a dozen large searchlights adjusted their angles to illuminate the vicinity of the crater as if it were daytime. What was once a barracks is now a huge earthen pit, with countless architectural remains and charred stumps of the victims scattered around. In the center of the crater, a swarthy oval meteorite stood upright like a giant stone monument, and the air around it was distorted by the uncooled heat.
Shen Hao was placed at the front of the team because he was a melee soldier, and he cautiously looked at this huge meteorite, but the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger.
The tingling pain, from the imprint on the back of the neck, came suddenly, dense and intense. Shen Hao's hairs all over his body suddenly rose, and he lay down on the spot without the slightest hesitation.
"Woohoo! Boom—" A series of strange sounds sounded at the same time, like a pig's bladder filled with water being vigorously squeezed, and only to see a large puffy green thick liquid rising from the deep crater, pouring towards the crowd like a downpour. The dozens of pathfinder fighters at the front of the team were caught off guard and were doused with a large amount of liquid.
Although Shen Hao lay down in time, because these green liquids were ejected, they still did not leave their attack range. Although he didn't know what these green liquors were, his perception of danger made him careless. I saw him roll on the spot, turning his back up, and the Baka III heavy flamethrower on his shoulder had opened the flamethrower.
"Bear—" A blue-white fiery snake rose into the sky and collided head-on with the green liquid poured on its head. With the roar of fire and water, a large pungent black mist rose in the air. Shen Hao took the opportunity to kick the ground, his whole body against the ground and retreated sharply to the rear, and soon withdrew from the coverage of the strange green liquid. That's when he has the time to pay attention to other people's situations.
Unfortunately, apart from him, the other brawlers who entered the green liquor's coverage almost didn't have time to evade anything, and all of them were hit.
The soldiers who were doused with green liquor made an indescribable corrosive sound of "squeaking", like the sound of someone spraying a mouthful of water mist on a red-hot iron pot. I saw that the standard infantry armor they were proud of quickly softened, deformed, and dissolved under the erosion of this terrifying corrosive acid, and soon, the acid wrapped the flesh of the brawler inside the armor.
"Ahh
"Help—"
"It hurts!"
Countless screams rang out one after another, and all the soldiers who had been recruited were curled up on the ground, struggling in pain, but soon, these screams came to an abrupt end, and all that was left on the ground was a large pile of inhumanoid corpses and foul-smelling rotten water.
This hellish tragedy shocked everyone present, but fortunately, the quality of the soldiers made them panic and spread out under the constraints of the officers, so the muzzles of the weapons were all pointed in the direction of the crater. The scene was silent, only the heavy breathing of the soldiers could be heard, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Poof! Poof! "Puff ......" another strange sound sounded in everyone's ears. The soldiers were horrified to find that the ground at their feet was bulging, and a hideous-looking monster the size of a mastiff broke through the ground, opening its big mouth like an alien in a science fiction movie, and biting them silently.
"Cluck-"
"Ahh
When the screams rang out, the gunshots rang out at the same time, and the soldiers who had succeeded in the sneak attack fired back. These monster insects are quite tenacious, and usually have to hit several or even a dozen shots in a row before they stop moving, but in the process, they bite and kill frantically, often causing casualties to one or several soldiers. Many gunmen fired indiscriminately during the raid, resulting in many nearby comrades being injured by stray bullets. The infantry camp of thousands of men was thrown into disarray with little control.
Compared with the gunners in the rear team, the situation in the melee position where Shen Hao was located was slightly more optimistic, and the soldiers pulled out their melee weapons one after another and fought with a large group of monster insects.
Compared to the instinctive culling of bugs, the fighting methods of the fighters are more skillful and cooperative. In such a treacherous hand-to-hand combat, these melee fighters finally showed their fangs, and they worked in pairs, one to fend off and contain the opponent's movements, and the other to carry out simple but very deadly assassinations, although nearly a hundred soldiers had been killed in the previous acid attack, but they miraculously stabilized their positions in this swarm raid.
Soon, the jumping worms that rushed into the brawler's position were killed one by one, and the second lieutenant who led the team was about to direct the group to support the gunners in the rear, but at this time, a large wave of green acid sprayed out of the crater and poured it on their heads.
Fortunately, this time everyone was on guard, following Shen Hao's previous example, he opened the muzzle of the flamethrower on his shoulder, and a large piece of fire snakes formed a wall of fire in the air, intercepting most of the acid, and only a small amount of acid passed through the wall of fire, causing casualties among the three soldiers.
There seemed to be a dark wave rising from the crater, as if it were a group of undulating shadows. The image faded into clarity under the glare of searchlights: shiny purple carapaces, white claws like raptors slowly dragging their bodies over the edge of the crater, snake-like arched bodies twisting and crawling over broken stones. In an instant, a terrifying, cobra-like crest was revealed above their razor-sharp claws. Their tails arch high. The jagged shoulder socket was covered with carapace spikes, and a large ugly face with spider-like mouthparts except for two crimson compound eyes.
"Damn it! What are they? The second lieutenant of the brawler cursed, stopping his men from returning to the rear of the team, and turned to meet the new group of strange snake-like creatures.
"Shhh Boom—" A barrage of green acid spewed out towards each other.
"Fire!" The lieutenant shouted, but he didn't need to say it, and the other fighters turned on their flamethrowers, and a large line of fire snakes swept towards the acid, and the air was suddenly filled with the stench of the acid evaporating.
However, what is surprising is that this time the strange snakes sprayed acid in a frontal flat shot, and the impact of the acid was twice as strong as when they were thrown before. I saw a large amount of dark green acid pass through the raging wall of fire and shoot at the charging brawler, and the dozens of soldiers in the front row were caught off guard and were attacked by the fire, and were sprayed all over their faces by the dark green corrosive venom, and after standing in place for a few minutes, the whole person was directly dissolved like hot candle oil. The battle armor on their bodies did not provide any protection in the slightest.
Shen Hao was also among the first wave of charging warriors, but the experienced one of the moments when the belly of the strange snake bulged, he sensed that something was wrong, and immediately a short sliding step, Kankan drilled under the venom, and kicked the ground violently, and the whole person slammed into a strange snake closest to him like a cannonball.
"Bang!" Shen Hao slammed his shoulder, and the strange snake that was two or three meters tall was stumbled by him, and then Shen Hao's left hand fighting thorn struck upward, directly from the chin of the strange snake to the Tianling Gai, and at the same time, the fighting spur in his right hand stabbed and slashed towards its bulging abdomen, and suddenly opened a gap more than half a meter wide in its abdomen, and a large stream of dark green acid flowed out.
