"It's good that the vines aren't spreading fast enough." Wiping a handful of sweat from running wildly, Liu Yan temporarily breathed a sigh of relief and said to Cody, "Although the vines spread faster at the beginning, the more they go to the back, the larger the area that needs to be covered, and the more nutrients they need, it is impossible for them to continue to grow at that speed." ”

Compared with the chaotic appearance of other units in GDI, the elite infantry company directly under the General Headquarters composed of clone soldiers, even if it is such a rapid retreat operation, it is chaotic and unpanicked, and it will soon be reorganized under the adjustment of commanders at all levels, and there is no need for Liu Yan and Cody to be managed.

So Cody, who is quite idle now, pointed to an APC that had just driven up from the rear and said to Liu Yan: "You want an incendiary bomb." There really weren't flamethrowers, and the flamethrowers that the Swiss had stockpiled in their arsenals were destroyed by stray bullets in the previous battles......," Cody said, "so we only found a few incendiary bombs, plus some of our own, which I think should be enough for us for a while." ”

"Then take a few and test them right away, and see if the heat weapon is useful against those 'plants'!" Liu Yan casually pointed in the direction of a red vine and said to Cody, "Let our people be careful and stay at a safe distance for testing!" ”

"Understood." Cody nodded, made a gesture to a few clones who were on standby by their side, and asked those clones to go for testing, and then turned to look at Liu Yan, "In addition, there is an order from above, asking us to immediately send the sample of vines found in the wreckage of the first starship to the nearest airport, where a shuttle will come, and they will urgently send the sample to the highest laboratory for study." ”

"Haven't all the things we found in that wreckage already been handed over to the biochemical and chemical quarantine forces?" Liu Yan was very puzzled by this order, "How could the above ask for those samples?" ”

"At the same time as the vines expanded here, the same thing happened to the wreckage we took before, a large number of vines grew out of the wreckage, and the biochemical and chemical quarantine forces are now unable to protect themselves, so they can only count on our side." As he spoke, Cody picked up one of his satchels, "I've collected some dead vines, there aren't many of them, they were originally intended to be used as personal collections, and now it looks like they're going to be handed in." ”

"You still have this hobby?" Liu Yan took the bag, opened it and took a look, there were indeed a few shriveled vines that were not long, "The dead vines don't seem to be so strong?" ”

"I don't know if that's the case, sir. But I did tear those vines off the trunk with ease, without even using any tools. Because the vines didn't look poisonous, they privately collected some as trophies from the battlefield. Cody replied, "I also don't know how the above knew that I had collected some lifeless vines, and I don't know how they used these vines that had clearly lost their life skills for research." But an order is an order, and if we need these vines on it, then we have to send them over. ”

"You can take care of this, I want to study these strange vines on the spot now." Waving his hand, Liu Yan didn't care about the new tasks, and directly gave them to his subordinates, and while watching the clones running towards the vine area with rocket-propelled grenades loaded with incendiary warheads, he said to Cody, "You take some people to escort the samples to the airport, and I'll keep an eye on them here." ”

Cody didn't say anything more, and after nodding slightly to Liu Yan, he called a few clones and turned to leave.

Under Liu Yan's gaze, the clone soldiers stopped about a hundred meters away from a vine area, and then one of them fired an incendiary bomb at a piece of vines that had wrapped several abandoned civilian vehicles and strangled them into pieces.

The rocket-propelled grenade disappeared into the pile of scrap metal fragments that had been twisted into a ball of scrap metal by the vines!

After the explosion and the huge fireball, a circle of fire with a diameter of nearly five meters was formed, centered on the fragments of those vehicles! The vehicle fragments quickly dissolved at high temperatures large enough to melt the steel, and the vines wrapped around the iron sheets held out a little longer than the metal before being burned to ashes in the extremely high flames.

This result made Liu Yan very uneasy, those clones used special incendiary bombs, which were a batch of trial weapons specially made by GDI for dealing with Taijing creatures, and the number was not large, all because the elite infantry company found Taijing creatures in the wreckage of the starship, and then urgently replenished the things distributed to them, and even their special incendiary bombs only had this effect, and it was even more uncertain how much effect ordinary incendiary bombs could play.

"How about a laser weapon to try?" After being uneasy, Liu Yan immediately found Lieutenant Colonel Balier again and asked for a test with the help of laser weapons, after all, the two Athena system guided vehicles converted into land-based laser weapon systems were under his command, how could Liu Yan, who was one level lower than the other party, ignore the other party's military rank.

"Then we'll have to wait a little longer." Although some of them are not very good with the troops directly under the General Headquarters (personal feelings), Lieutenant Colonel Balier did not directly reject Liu Yan's suggestion, but answered him realistically, "Although the laser weapon base station is mobile, it is also a very fragile thing, and when I was evacuated just now, because I failed to deal with the equipment according to their design regulations, the two weapon base stations have line faults and are being repaired later." Looking at them like that, I don't think they can be repaired for a while. ”

"What the hell, why did all the bad things happen together today!" With Liu Yan's position at this time, he could naturally see that the two ground-based laser weapon base stations were surrounded by a large group of technicians, and he knew that the lieutenant colonel was not prevaricating, but the feeling that everything was not going well was not so simple to pass.

"How about contacting the fleet above?" Lieutenant Colonel Balil came up with a new idea at this time, "I remember that they also had laser weapons on their ships. Now, at this distance, let them shoot at the wreckage area, and it shouldn't hurt us by mistake, right? ”

"That's right." After looking at the distance between the location of the starship wreckage and his own, Liu Yan nodded, "Maybe I can remind them that it will be safer to hit a farther target, and it can be regarded as a rehearsal for the North American battlefield in the future." ”

Two minutes later, a few red rays of light broke through the clouds and swept through the devastated streets of Geneva, sweeping over the wreckage of the Sjitter starship, tearing several thin cracks in the surface of the wreckage, but not to the point of slicing the wreckage into smaller pieces, but the strange vines that spread out of the wreckage that could crush steel were in trouble.

Swept away by a high-energy laser that retains its lethality even after breaking through the atmosphere, the vines quickly burst into flames and turned into ashes. The human laser strong laser weapon has an unexpected destructive power against the plant-type weapon made by the Sijing people, although it seems that the vines are quite resistant to high temperatures, but in the face of direct irradiation of high-energy lasers, it is also unbearable.

Seeing the laser weapon work, both Liu Yan and Balil quietly breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that those vines would be difficult to destroy even with lasers, so that they would lose the battle because of some plants. Now that we have discovered that vines are not something that cannot be destroyed, this battle still needs to be fought.

But then, the smile on their faces disappeared.

In a very short period of time, the vines that had been turned into fly ash by the laser beam regrew from the completely carbonized fractures, and repaired the webs of vines that had been torn apart by the laser, growing faster than the humans had destroyed, so that the previous laser sweeps did not cause any substantial damage to them.

"It's a big problem." They knew that if those vines could grow and repair their wounds with such abilities, then humanity would seem helpless against them unless some weapons of mass destruction were used to remove them.

"Major." A clone messenger approached Liu Yan, "The above asked us to immediately organize a team of light infantry, enter the wreckage, and plant bombs in it to destroy the roots of the vines, and we can solve this problem." ”

"What's going on?" Hearing this order, Liu Yan was a little dazed, he couldn't figure it out, obviously he, a person on the front line, hadn't figured out the situation yet, he hadn't figured out what those vines were going on, and how did the high-level people in space know the details of those vines, you must know that the vine samples that Cody brought had only left for a short time, and they hadn't arrived at the airport yet, let alone sent them to Kane for research.

"It was the wreckage of the Sijing starship that we took down earlier, and the people of the biochemical force seemed to have gotten some more confident clues there, so the order was given from above." Perhaps this order also knew that it made people confused, so they also added some notes to the order, and the communication soldiers could only answer Liu Yan's questions according to the explanations given above.

"This is really ......" Liu Yan didn't know what to say, he always felt that this incident was too strange to happen, and the bastard in the general headquarters, even if he knew anything in advance, he didn't tell others, which really made him, a person who stayed on the front line, very unhappy, "I really want to go back to my college days, then I can blatantly punch that guy!" ”

And Liu Yan wanted to beat him very much, but he was helpless, but at this time, he was also staring at the screen in front of him with a depressed face, constantly tapping the data board in his hand.

"Is this really a plant attribute?" Looking at the big hole in the center of the wreckage armor of the Sijing starship displayed on the screen, which was obviously drilled through by the high temperature, Lin Hai didn't know whether to laugh or scold his mother, "With a single shot, it hit its roots?" Is this our luck, or are the Sijing people taking us for idiots? ”
