At present, the laser weapons deployed by the human coalition forces in Geneva (especially referring to laser weapons with strong hard destruction), in addition to some advanced super heavy tanks (M-made mammoth tanks) equipped with laser point defense systems, there are also heavy laser main guns on the Kodiak-class battlecruiser of the orbital alert fleet, but because the laser will pass through the thick atmosphere, the optical path will be distorted and refracted and other phenomena, and the ground attack will have some impact on accuracy, so it is easy not to provide laser cannon support for this kind of battlefield where the two sides are close to the battle, Kodiak-class battle cruisers are more just about delivering missile strikes.

In addition to these useless ones, they also have a small number of ground-based laser cannon systems modified from the ground-based guidance system of the Athena cannon developed by Future Technology.

The system was originally intended to engage in air defense operations and intercept possible Holy Brotherhood missile and rocket strikes — whether or not it came in handy, the GDI military deployed some of these relatively cheap and high-quality equipment in case it really came in handy.

Two land-based laser stations were quickly transferred. When they arrived, Lieutenant Colonel Balil's troops, which had suffered a lot of losses, had fully retreated, the floating jellyfish that had not yet died had risen into the air, the tank troops had lost their firing range, and even the three Titan M mechs could not attack most targets, so they could only follow the armored troops and retreat, and find other firing points to use.

On the floating jellyfish side, except for three who were killed by heavy artillery before the first liftoff, the other dozen or so have successfully lifted into the air. Even the floating jellyfish that had been trapped by many large nets before was rescued with the help of his companions and joined his companions.

These vital creatures can continue to move as long as they still have a breath, and the only way to keep them completely immobilized is to actually kill them - or trap them with large nets made of different high-strength materials, as they did with the first one.

In addition to the floating jellyfish fighting with the humans, at this time, the Sijing people's troops also came back, ran to both sides of the floating jellyfish, and counterattacked the human troops, Lieutenant Colonel Balier's troops could not deal with those monsters at the same time, but also had to fight the Sijing troops who attacked them, so they could only retreat.

The arrival of the Athena land-based laser cannon system, after quickly adjusting the firing parameters, two systems made a single shot on the street. In the smoke and dust fog that was everywhere on the battlefield, the Tyndall effect appeared, and two red rays of light pierced through the smoke and dust mist, instantly hitting the two seriously injured floating jellyfish, and as they moved through the air, they cut a larger wound.

After a piercing scream, the two jellyfish fell straight from the air and slammed into the ruins, their soft bodies soaking in the green fluids splashed from the wounds shrinking, decomposing, and shrinking, and soon disappearing into the pools of turquoise liquid.

"Hell, those jellyfish actually decompose when they die!" Seeing this scene, Liu Yan, who had the order to bring back the living samples, suddenly shouted, this phenomenon is not good news for him, if all jellyfish will automatically decompose after death, then let alone bring back the live samples, even if it is impossible to find some dead samples.

"Then we'll have to catch live samples." Second Lieutenant Cody, who was also aware of their new mission, also felt that this task was tricky, "But in this situation, it is not easy to pick one of so many floating jellyfish to take away alive." When the fight is over, it is estimated that those jellyfish will also die! ”

"That's not what I want to see." Liu Yan replied to Cody, and then took out the communicator.

The height of the jellyfish floating in the air is not infinite, and basically the maximum can only be guaranteed to be about 50 meters above the ground. While this height is insignificant, and most ground firepower can hit them (regardless of the elevation range), with the oddity of the Grid Shield, only a few weapons on the human side can damage them.

This makes it quite troublesome to destroy them, the light weapons of the infantry cannot hurt them, the elevation angle of the tank is insufficient in the city (too many buildings exist and the engagement distance is too close, and it is difficult for heavy equipment such as tanks to retreat to a suitable distance to shoot), the cannon equipped by the armored vehicle is affected by the power grid shield, the shell will be seriously weakened, and it is even more difficult for weapons such as missiles and rockets to break through those power grid shields, and basically can only explode in advance while passing through the power grid, The remaining blast waves and shrapnel could no longer do enough damage to the jellyfish.

Even the laser beam will be subject to some interference when passing through those power grids, but fortunately, those floating jellyfish are not small, and the laser weapon is unlikely to miss, and it can still become the main firepower output.

It's just that due to the small number of laser weapons and the long charging time, it is difficult to improve the efficiency of killing floating jellyfish - but this gives Liu Yan more time to find a way to get a living sample.

But then he found that as the number of jellyfish decreased, so did the Union Grid shield they produced, and the other weapons of humanity were more effective and could do more damage to more levitations. As more floating jellyfish are injured or killed, the defense capability of the power grid shield is further weakened, leaving Liu Yan with little time.

"Inform our people, prepare the net bombs, Lieutenant Colonel Ballier should still have a lot of reserves, if there are not enough, ask them for some, and when there are no more jellyfish left, we will start to catch them alive!" For a while, there was no better way to think slowly, Liu Yan simply followed the previous method, "But be careful, the movements of the Sijing people, they seem to be planning to help the floating jellyfish, although their attack from both sides was blocked by Lieutenant Colonel Balier's troops, but we still have to be careful not to be ...... by them when we act."

Before Liu Yan could finish his words, an exclamation from front interrupted his words.

Everyone heard that several tanks covering the retreat of the troops – all Leopard 2A6s, brought by the European countries involved in the GDI forces (because they did not believe in the equipment performance provided by GDI in the early days) – these tanks did not continue to reverse and retreat, and all of them stopped on the road.

And the reason why these tanks don't move is not because they run out of fuel or have any mechanical failures at the same time, but because their tracks, load wheels, these walking mechanisms, are entangled by a large number of red vines and can't rotate at some point, even with the surging power of the Leopard 2 tank, they can't tear off those red vines to restore the tank's ability to move!

"This thing is ......" Seeing the red vines, Liu Yan's eyes suddenly widened, he recognized what those vines were, inside another piece of starship wreckage, he had also seen this kind of thing, but the vines found in that wreckage had long lost their vitality, but what he saw now was full of vitality, "Is it the growth stored in this wreckage?" ”

He looked at the wet battlefield, where most of the water had been drained: "This place seems to be very suitable for plants." ”

Of course, it was not only they who saw the red vines paralyzing those tanks, but also the other GDI soldiers around them, and a few soldiers who were closer to those tanks directly pulled out their daggers and walked towards the tanks that were trapped by the vines that appeared inexplicably, wanting to cut off those vines and release the tanks.

But just as they were about to approach the tanks, several loud metal cracking sounds came from the tanks, and many people around heard those sounds, and saw the tank tracks and load-bearing wheels that were entangled by the red vines broke and broke one after another under the continuous tightening of the vines, and even the load-bearing wheels were strangled by the moving vines!

"Is there a flamethrower?" Seeing that those strange vines could actually crush the tank made of metal, Liu Yan, who was stunned, quickly reacted, those "plants" that Sijing people got from nowhere can grind steel, so he can only be skeptical that those infantry daggers can cut them, and he can only look for other means from his common sense to see if he can solve the problem.

"I didn't prepare anything like that." Cody shook his head and replied, "We have some incendiary bombs, though." ”

"Let's use it." Looking at the tank crews who jumped out of the car because the tank tracks and load wheels were crushed by vines, Liu Yan continued, "Anyway, those tanks are useless, rather than waiting to be dragged back for repairs afterwards, it is better to take the opportunity to let us test them......" He was unable to finish his words again.

Because he saw that the bodies and turrets of the Leopard 2A6 abandoned by the crew were also slowly entwined by the vines that were constantly stretching and spreading, and the same sound of metal twisting and shattering sounded!

"I'll go inside! What kind of plant is this? Liu Yan, who was already a little confused, didn't know what to say more, those aggressive red vines not only destroyed the tracks and wheels of the tank, but even wanted to tear the whole vehicle into pieces of iron?!

"Major, it's time for us to stand back." Cody patted Liu Yan on the back and pointed him ahead, and the sharp-eyed lieutenant saw a lot of things that Liu Yan, who was wearing glasses, hadn't noticed.

Following the direction of Cody's finger, Liu Yan saw that the streets and building walls with the wreckage of the starship as the center point were already covered with a large number of red vines, and these vines were still spreading outward at a speed visible to the naked eye! It even grows towards human soldiers who are not standing in the vine area!

"Back off, back off!" Liu Yan shouted, ran after Cody in the direction he came, and shouted at the other GDI officers, "Go find the High Temperature Burning Weapon!"

At this time, no one cares about the task of catching floating jellyfish alive, if the vines that can crush steel entangle people......
