Chapter 363: Ants in a Bunch
Many.
In Qi Lin's head, the first word that popped up was "more".
Too much......
Number of parasites...... It's just too much.
If the wave of parasites they just encountered is compared to a black wave, then the area in front of them can only be described as the ocean.
Almost everywhere on the plain where the 147 outpost was located, there were parasitic figures almost everywhere, their stiff bodies swaying, stumbling with every step, a bit like the comics of Chaplin's time. It's just that Qi Lin not only didn't feel the slightest funny, but felt that his scalp was tingling.
From the top of the cliff, these parasites look like black ants, but even Qi Lin, who has been in the African rainforest, has never seen such a large number of ant colonies.
How many? Lakh? Two hundred thousand?
Qi Lin couldn't count them anyway, but judging from the clothing characteristics of a considerable number of them, Qi Lin could conclude that at least one of the grizzly brigade's wasteland cities had fallen, and all the inhabitants of that city had been transformed into parasites and gathered here.
Outpost 147 has not yet been breached, and the first domino has already fallen - this makes Qi Lin a little strange, could it be that there is another wave of parasites that attacked the city of the Siberian Grizzly Brigade when the Kuroshio Tide besieged Post 147?
Qi Lin felt that this was a joke played by the mastermind and the players - not long ago, the alliance adopted a two-front strategy and took a city from the Siberian Grizzly Brigade, and now, the parasite has adopted the same strategy and captured a city of the Grizzly Brigade.
The only difference is that they have turned the hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children in that city into their own kind......
"This joke is really not funny......"
Outpost 147, surrounded by so many parasites, was like a lonely boat in the middle of a stormy sea, crumbling and threatening to capsize at any moment. The reason why Cheng Yanqiu and they were able to hold out for so long was entirely because although there were many parasites, there were always only so many who could engage with the players, otherwise, the 147 outpost would have ceased to exist a long time ago.
However, as things stand, it's only a matter of time before it's lost, and players are now forcibly suppressing the parasite's attack with firepower, and once the ammo runs out, there's no need to say what will happen next.
Qi Lin didn't know how much ammunition was still in the 147 outposts, but what he knew was that the amount of ammunition in the outposts was definitely not as large as the parasites surrounding the outposts outside.
Two of the five fortresses of the 147 outpost have been breached by the parasites, and Cheng Yanqiu did not choose to recapture those two fortresses, but concentrated all his forces in the last three fortresses, forming a corner momentum, resisting the waves of parasites to resist the onslaught of the parasites.
"This ...... What are we going to do? Karachev clutched his hands on a boulder on the edge of the cliff, and his tone trembled slightly.
"I'm afraid that a 'fat man' can only tear a small gap, and this gap will not last long...... However, there is a chance to ......," Qi Lin said in a deep voice.
"What chance?" Karachev was stunned.
"Karachev, do you know that there is a species of ant in the African savannah?"
"Ants? What ants...... Are you saying that this dense parasite is like an ant? ”
"No...... The ants of the African savannah roll in a clump when they are hit by floods during the rainy season or wildfires caused by thunder and lightning during the dry season...... Although the outermost layers of ants were either swept away by the flood or burned to charcoal, as the outer layers of ants died, the innermost ants were able to survive and the entire colony could survive. ”
"You mean ......?"
"Our mission is only to rescue Cheng Yanqiu, not including other people, then let all the people in the fortress break through together - except for Cheng Yanqiu, all the other people are regarded as 'ants in the outer layer'!"
Although Qi Lin's method sounds very vicious, but in the current situation, no matter what, the players in the 147 outpost have no life, so it is better to let them play the last value before hanging up, anyway, they are all dead, what is the difference between dying on the way to break out and dying in the breached fortress.
Qi Lin's mission was only to rescue Cheng Yanqiu, otherwise, he would not have returned here again with this army.
Karachev took a deep breath, and after a few seconds, he asked out loud: "If you do this, what is the success rate?" ”
"No more than thirty percent." Qi Lin looked at the battlefield in the distance and said, "With the power of this small-yield 'fat man', at most a radius of one kilometer can be cleared, and as for the radiation part with the largest killing range of the nuclear bomb, it is equivalent to taking a hot bath for the parasite." ”
Qi Lin paused and continued: "With the density and movement speed of the parasites, it will take about ten to fifteen minutes to re-plug this hole that we tore open with a nuclear warhead, if Cheng Yanqiu and they can break out of the gap within this time, we will be considered successful." ”
"There are three problems in the whole process, the first is that we can't include the 147 post in the explosion range of the nuclear bomb, then, after the nuclear bomb is detonated, there will be a fairly dense number of parasites between the cleared blank area and the 147 post, Cheng Yanqiu They need to find a way to break through the encirclement formed by these parasites."
"Second, in the case of shrinking gaps, the space left for those who break through will become smaller and smaller, just like a slowly closing vice, I don't know how long they can hold this 'vice' with the current state and combat effectiveness of the players in the outpost."
"Thirdly, the scope of the nuclear bomb explosion naturally cannot envelop our position, which means that there will also be a large number of parasites between us and those who break through. Of course, at this time, we can fight Cheng Yanqiu and them on both sides, but the first two problems need to be solved by themselves, and we can't help at all - just these three hundred people, thrown into the black tide of this scale, can't even splash the slightest wave. ”
"But that's the plan with the highest success rate, right?" A wry smile appeared on Karachev's face.
"As it stands, that's right." Qi Lin nodded.
"Okay, I'll contact the young master." Karachev said, taking the radio from the soldier on the side, adjusting the frequency, and then grabbed the microphone.
"Hey, can you hear me? Communication code S109, call 147 outpost, please answer when you hear, please answer when you hear. ”
After a burst of electric noise, Cheng Yanqiu's voice appeared in the earpiece: "I'm Cheng Yanqiu, who are you?" ”
"It's me." Qi Lin took the microphone, "We are under the cliff south of Post 147. ”
“9527? Why are you here? Why come back? What about Sophia? ”
"Sophia, I've been safely sent to the base camp, entrusted by your third uncle, I brought a team of people to pick you up, oh yes, we also brought a small tactical nuclear warhead, you asked your people to prepare anti-radiation agents, and then we will use the nuclear bomb to open a gap in the direction of the south side, and you will break through this gap."
"......" Cheng Yanqiu was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "I understand, give me ten minutes." ”
