Chapter 40 (II) Incalculable casualties
Guda, who led countless wet corpses towards Huang Yan, quickly disappeared in front of the eyes of the three of them, while hundreds of wet corpses shuttled past them, leaving their water-carrying footprints on the ruins after leavingβthe bodies of these wet corpses had been secreting a strange liquid.
Tang Shuxing squatted down, touched the wet footprints left by the wet corpse, sniffed his fingers and said, "There is no smell, just like ordinary water." β
Gu Huaiyi also squatted down, touched the water, and didn't smell it, but said: "It's definitely not ordinary water, otherwise you can't suppress Huang Yan in an ordinary way." β
"What are they doing?" Ji Kefeng raised his binoculars and looked at it, and found that after the group of wet corpses brought by Guda pounced on Huang Yan, he did not launch a so-called large-scale attack, but ordered some of them to drill through the hole they had dug earlier, while the other part was close to the position where Huang Yan's body surface was blown open.
At this time, Huang Yan finally stopped his heavy body and let out a more earth-shattering "grunt" sound, and at the same time began to move his body left and right, making a look like he wanted to roll.
"Huang Yan wants to get rid of those things on the surface of his body." Ji Kefeng said.
"It seems that the people in the bracelet are not lying, if it weren't for the previous attack that destroyed Huang Yan's other weapon systems, I'm afraid they would have been driven away by Huang Yan." Tang Shuxing also took the telescope to see it.
Because the wet corpse was close to his body surface, Huang Yan shook his body faster and faster, but because his hind legs were torn and his body was too heavy, his body was not flexible at all. At the same time, Guda, who had already penetrated into his body, used his bracelet to direct those wet corpses to destroy the "buildings" in Huang Yan's body, smashing the surrounding things one by one. Plane, then use your body directly into the walls of its flesh.
Huang Yan's head position, a part of the wet corpse that was close to it was wrapped up by the tentacles stretched out in front of Huang Yan and smashed to the ground, but because the number of wet corpses was too large, it completely exceeded the number of tentacles, so when the tentacles rolled up a wet corpse and threw it away again, the previous wet corpse crawled back to its original position and continued to cling closely, and after more than ten rounds, Huang Yan was completely crazy.
The frenzied Huang Yan opened his mouth. Everywhere sprayed that kind of yellow mist with fire. However, due to the direction of the wind, the yellow mist only drifted towards the other side of the river, and it did not have any effect on the surrounding wet corpses at all.
In Huang Yan's body, all the wet corpses cut through the flesh wall and entered the designated position. Guda walked back and forth a few times around it. The man in the bracelet spoke, "You are all the most faithful warriors. History will remember you. β
The wet corpses that gradually began to melt in the flesh wall and forcibly merged with Huang Yan's body actually had a terrifying smile on their faces. Guda nodded vigorously at the wet corpses that were gradually melting around him, and then he got out of the hole and rushed towards Tang Shuxing and the others.
Looking at the galloping Guda, Tang Shuxing was about to ask the other two to follow him into the deep pit dug out by the wet corpse before, but he clearly saw something flying in the air not far away.
Tang Shuxing immediately raised his binoculars to look at that location and found that it was a missile.
"Missiles! Fast! Jump! Tang Shuxing was the first to jump into the pit, and just as the other two also jumped down, Guda rushed back, jumped directly on top of the three of them, and supported his limbs on the four walls of the pit, blocking them with his body.
Tang Shuxing shrank in a corner, looking at Guda, and then at his bracelet.
The man in the bracelet, who was silent for a while, said at this time: "If we are lucky enough, we will only suffer minor injuries. β
As Guda spoke, the Tomahawk missile had already hit Huang Yan's head directly from the front, blowing off most of the tentacles there, and the flames of the explosion instantly wrapped the entire Huang Yan's head. The painful Huang Yan no longer made a "grunt" sound this time, but a hissing sound similar to that of a wild beast when it was choked by the neck.
The hiss crept into the ears of the three of them in the pit, and everyone felt like their eardrums were about to burst.
At the same time that Huang Yan's head was hit by a Tomahawk missile, three high-altitude drones locked Huang Yan's position in a triangular positioning, and then immediately returned the coordinates of the heat source to the Pentagon.
"Mr. President, the coordinates have been determined." Martin immediately said after seeing the returned coordinates from the operational staff, "Attack?" β
"Are the army and navy railguns ready?" The president asked, holding his chin, and after receiving Martin's affirmation, he nodded vigorously, "Attack!" Kill that shit! β
"Attack! Attack code KIU665! Once Martin was authorized, he entered the confirmation code at the Combat Staff Office, "Let the Army and Navy electromagnetic railguns fire a salvo!" β
Subsequently, the confirmation code was sent to the commander of the mixed combat regiment under the 1st Armored Division of the US Army more than 100 kilometers away, and the commander looked at the electromagnetic railgun converted from self-propelled artillery that had been lined up in a triangular attack formation on the left and right sides, and then said: "The attack code has been confirmed, let it go!" β
At the same time, the electromagnetic railguns installed on the two Pioneer-class combined high-speed ships on the Delaware River also entered the coordinates, and at the same time, the high-speed boats and helicopter gunships on both sides of the escort also retreated collectively, and after confirming the attack time in the system with the armored regiment, they also turned the gun ports and activated the attack system.
The army's six electromagnetic railguns and the navy's four electromagnetic railguns fired the first round of shelling at Huang Yan's location at the same time under the setting of the unified combat system, and then these guns, which did not use chemical propellants at all, fired shells with a speed of up to 8,600 kilometers per hour, and soon reached the top of Huang Yan's head.
"It's comingβ" The man in the bracelet said after hearing the sound of cannonballs flying at high speed in the air, "bury your head!" β
The three of them immediately hugged their heads, and did not stick to the cave wall according to the requirements of the person in the bracelet, avoiding the chain resonance reaction caused by the vibration, followed by the earth-shattering cannon fire, round after round - Huang Yan was instantly covered by the artillery, at this time, it had no strength at all because of the integration of the wet corpse, and had to let out a wailing sound in the cannon fire.
The covered artillery accurately inflicted three rounds of blows on Huang Yan's head, and then Huang Yan's head was blown to pieces, and the yellow mist began to pour out in all directions. And where the wet corpses melted into the surface of the body, huge holes also appeared, and the holes also sprayed yellow mist with fire balls, like high-temperature steam spewing from the cracks of a volcano.
"It's begunβ" said the man in the bracelet at this time, "ask for more blessings!" β
The yellow mist ejected from Huang Yan's body formed a yellow mist cloud at a height of 100 meters above his body, and a high-speed rotating vortex was formed in the middle of the cloud, which eventually turned into a yellow mist tornado, and the tornado did not leave, but was sucked back into Huang Yan's body at a strange speed that flew out.
"Squeak-" Huang Yan's body made a strange sound like a knife and fork cutting across the plate, and Tang Shuxing and the others in the pit felt that their heads were about to crack at that moment.
"Ahh
After the tornado re-burrowed into Huang Yan's body. Its body is also getting bigger and bigger. It turned into a balloon-like thing, and at the same time gradually rose into the air, and the speed of climbing higher and faster became faster, and finally after crawling to a position of more than fifty meters. Huang Yan's body turned red.
The footage captured by the drone was actually back in the Pentagon's fortress room. Charlie stood up. Grabbed his glasses and put them on, looked at them carefully, and said to himself, "This thing...... What is it? β
Martin was also confused. He didn't know what it was, but it felt like it was going to explode.
"Maybe-" Before Martin's words were finished, he clearly saw countless silver-white rays of light shooting out from Huang Yan's body, and then the image of the drone turned white.
"Where's the picture?" Charlie looked at the monitor and said, "What about drones?" What about other high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft? Haven't our satellites moved over yet? β
The conference room was busy, and everyone began to contact the troops who could see the scene, and at the same time ordered a military satellite to immediately speed up and move to the corresponding position in outer space where Huang Yan was located.
"Satellite footage is coming soon!" The combat staff officer said, "3, 2, 1......"
After the countdown, the real-time video of the satellite began to appear on the large screen in the conference room, but it was still white, and then the white changed to ordinary milky white, then white.
"What's going on? Satellite images are nothing, and nothing can be taken? Charlie pointed to the big screen and squeezed the cigarette in his hand.
"Zoom out and continue to zoom out to a large area of the Philadelphia metropolitan area." Martin instructed the combat staff officer beside him.
The combat staff immediately transmitted the command, and then the screen began to shrink, and after it continued to shrink to the multiple that Martin needed, everyone present stood up, several women had covered their mouths, tears rolled out, and the sound of gasping turned into a sad song in the conference roomβmost of the entire downtown area of Philadelphia was reduced to nothing, and even a third of the downtown area of Camden, the island on the Delaware River, and the Franklin Bridge were gone, and there was not even a ruin left, and the ground was just white.
The effect of Huang Yan's self-destruction and explosion was exactly the same as that of a person who inhaled the yellow mist and turned into a silent bomb, but the range was expanded countless times.
It took a long time for Martin to whisper: "We...... Won. β
After Martin finished speaking, no one turned his head to look at him except Charlie, although the so-called "won" was indeed a fact, Huang Yan was eliminated, and their goal was achieved, but who knew that Huang Yan would explode, and the area was so large and so thorough.
"Damage assessment ......" Charlie sat down and whispered something like this to the table, but no one paid attention to him, and the others still looked at the picture stupidly, even though there was nothing on it.
"I say......" Charlie clenched his fists and suddenly slammed his fist on the desk, yelling, "Are you all deaf?" I want loss assessment data! Right now! Right away! β
The others came back to their senses in Charlie's roar and immediately returned to their jobs, but how to assess the damage? The human losses alone cannot be assessed, and you have no idea how many people in Philadelphia were previously survived in the yellow mist, and the survivors of the destroyed Camden City, all that can be determined now is the number of military losses.
"All the people in Franklin Bridgehead have been killed, according to the previous dispatch report, there are 315 people, which is the number plus medical staff and epidemic prevention center personnel." The operational staff officer looked at the report and did not dare to look Charlie in the eyes, "Behind them, there is a reinforced company of the 10th Mountain Division, a total of 131 people. β
Martin nodded slightly, motioning for the staff officer to continue.
"There are 265 civilians in the vicinity of the outpost who had survived and were later self-injected, and who were reluctant to leave their homes, 46 of whom were minors." The combat staff officer couldn't say any more, and took several deep breaths, "The south-facing garrison along the coast of Camden City has been completely wiped out, and the estimated losses are more than sixty million dollars, and the number of sergeant deaths is 877, not counting the number of temporary command, because it is still being counted. β
"Statistics?" Martin wondered, "Is there anyone in the Forward Provisional Command who survives?" β
"Yes." The operational staff nodded, "Their luck is not too bad, the explosion only destroyed half of the headquarters, and at least a third of them survived, but the armored forces on the periphery are gone." β
"Anything else?" Charlie looked at the staff officer.
"And ...... There are also 12 Japanese employees of the Green Cross company on the bus that entered the Philadelphia area before, and the damage report of other equipment has not yet come out, and it is still being counted. After the staff officer finished speaking, he saw Charlie get up and leave, go straight to his independent office in the back, and then close the door tightly.
After Charlie left, sobs came from the otherwise quiet conference room, and the first to cry were several male officers, and several women also cried loudly under the infection, and then the crying spread like a plague......
Charlie, sitting in his office, dialed his best friend Jason. Richman's security phone was quickly connected, and the head of the world's largest intelligence agency didn't even send out a "hey", but just said, "National Disaster Day." β
"Yes, National Disaster Day." Charlie actually covered his mouth and cried, "National Disaster Day, today is National Disaster Day...... We have lost thousands of troops alone, the number of civilian deaths is simply incalculable, and the key thing is that we don't even know who the enemy is, and we don't even know who the enemy should fight back against. β
"Charlie, do you know who our enemy is." Jason said word for word, "It's Shangdu, it's those drug dealers!" β
Charlie was silent, because he knew very well that the other party might have infiltrated his government center, but he didn't have the ability to dig them out and uproot them.
"Charlie, we have to fight back, at least we have to have a feasible plan, and now the yellow fog has completely spread due to the direction of the wind, there have been large-scale casualties around, and the number of people is still rising, the kind of drug you mentioned earlier, no matter how long or short the immunization time is, we must use it." Jason persuaded Charlie, "There's no way around it, we have to keep the last lifeline." β
Charlie said "um": "I'll arrange it, I hope it's still too late." β
Hanging up the phone, Charlie opened the office door, where Martin was already waiting.
Charlie looked at Martin and exhaled a breath of air held in his chest: "Let the Green Cross company distribute that batch of vaccines in an orderly manner, you have to list a plan for the vaccine application points in each state, we have to hurry, because the yellow fog has completely spread." β
"Yes!" Martin nodded, in fact, he had already made a plan for the vaccine distribution.
Just as Martin was about to leave, Charlie stopped him again and whispered, "I need a press conference, I need to address the nation." With that, Charlie closed the door.
Martin stood there waiting for the door to be shut, and then replied faintly, "Yes, Mr. President." β
On that day, the "designated survivor" of that government agency, the new President of the United States, Charlie Brown. Bell was crying in the bathroom of his office, he never thought that there would be such a day in his life, and he would have such a life as if he was worse than death.
On that day, the flags of all the countries in front of the United Nations building in New York slowly fell in half...... (To be continued......)
