Chapter 196: Intercepting the Desolate Beast
The sudden outbreak of the beast crisis caught most people off guard, and the clouds of war loomed over the entire Azure Star, and at this moment, a high-level conversation was going on in the central control room of H-09's outer defense system, which was about the survival of the entire city.
As the control center of the defense system on which the entire city depends, the security measures of the central control room are naturally the highest level, but the arrival of the two big figures still surprised the staff and made people more aware of how dangerous the situation is at the moment - the mayor of the city and the supreme commander of the garrison arrived at the same time, and the wind and fire and the look was solemn, even the most nervous people can realize the seriousness of the problem.
In fact, even if the two weren't here, they could have seen it from the footage captured by the reconnaissance plane - the endless tide of blood-colored beasts was enough to terrify anyone, especially if they knew that the target of these monsters was their city.
As for how to tell that the target of the beast tide is them······ Nonsense, they are the only coastal city in this direction, could it be that these monsters are in groups just trying to swim in the sea?
"Colonel Harmon, can our outer defense system support a beast tide of this size?"
Looking at the surging tide of blood that completely covered the line of sight in the picture, the mayor of H-09, Huang Bailing, who was already in his 70s, asked the man in military uniform beside him with a solemn face.
Although the horror scene in the picture made him feel bad, he still had a certain luck mentality, and this last confidence came from the outer defense system that had spent countless resources and funds to build—this level of defense system was one of the best in the entire Azure Star, and it was built to fight against the invasion of wild beasts, and there was nothing wrong with high hopes for it.
However, the man in military uniform, the military's supreme commander in H-09, had a helpless wry smile on his face, and shattered his last hope with a factual analysis.
"Mayor Huang, an invasion of this scale is no longer something that can be resisted by inherent defense, if it is just an ordinary middle and low-level desolate beast, maybe we can still rely on the all-round firepower of the defense network system to survive it, but there are still extremely dangerous seventh-rank desolate beasts in the beast herd······ To be honest, once the beast tide arrived, the outer defense network would not be able to support it for long under the blows of the seventh-rank desolate beasts. ”
Mayor Huang's face became even more ugly, and he said sharply: "No, we must immediately ask for help from other cities!" H-09 is not an underground city, citizens have nowhere to hide, once the defense network collapses, the residents and tourists of the entire city will not be able to escape the beast's mouth, no matter what, we, as federal officials, must not let this happen! ”
The man in military uniform smiled bitterly again, of course he couldn't have thought of such a thing, but as a garrison general of the military, he had to get the news earlier than the mayor of the administrative system, and he had long since lost such naïve expectations when he understood the current situation.
He could only reluctantly reply: "I have already sent out the request for help, but ······, let me tell you the truth, Mayor Huang, it is not only us who is facing the invasion of the beast tide, but the entire Azure Star City is facing the same situation. The incident happened so suddenly, the military didn't have time to react at all, and there was only one instruction from above: Defend the city to the death, that is, we may not be able to wait for reinforcements to come to the rescue, or rather, maybe there are no reinforcements at all. ”
“·······”
As soon as his words fell, the atmosphere instantly froze into a dead silence, and the demon called Despair was devouring everyone's hearts!
Mayor Huang must be praised for his excellent psychological quality, worthy of being the head of a city, even in the face of this desperate situation, he did not completely despair, after a moment of silence, he seemed to have made some kind of decision and trade-off, gritted his teeth and asked: "According to your analysis, in the worst case, when will the beast tide reach the outskirts of the city?" How long can our defenses last? Can you give us time to move the masses from the sea? ”
Harmon looked at the mayor in front of him, who was already a little old, and felt some admiration in his heart.
He knows how much effort and energy the mayor has put into the development of H-09, and it can be said that at least half of the credit of Mayor Huang is the credit of Mayor Huang for the city to be as it is today, so you can imagine how much this city means to him!
The fact that he was able to make the decision to abandon the city and move the citizens so quickly is enough to prove his courage - even in such a desperate situation, there are definitely not many people in power who can make such a decisive decision.
At least, the selfish, insatiably incompetent officials will never be able to do that.
Unfortunately, reality is always cruel.
"I'm sorry Mayor Huang, the most vanguard beast tide group is close to the outskirts of the city, and is about to make head-on contact with the defense system, based on the number of detected seventh-rank desolate beast individuals, it is estimated that the defense network can last less than half an hour at most, with the current lack of manpower, I am afraid that this time is not enough to even organize the masses, we are too late."
Hearing this last cruel answer, Mayor Huang's originally energetic face seemed to have withered a little, he closed his eyes in despair, but spit out a resolute command from his mouth:
"Send people to requisition all the cruise ships and ships in the port, and organize the masses to leave by sea! How much can be transferred······
Concentrate all the armies and armed forces in the city behind the defensive circle!
Since it is already a desperate situation, we have nothing to hesitate about, let's do our best to obey the fate of heaven, at most we are just fighting with them! ”
"Mayor, leave the war to me, after all, I am the commander of the garrison, you can leave here in a spaceship."
"Thank you for your kindness, Colonel Harmon, but as the mayor of this city, I am not qualified to leave my post without permission, and I will not leave, especially at this time."
"But ······"
"Needless to say, I made my own decision, I hope you can understand me, if I can't watch this beautiful city become what I want to see when I die, then, at least let me accompany it to the end while I am alive."
"······, I see."
Seeing his resolute appearance, Harmon knew that he couldn't persuade this respected mayor, and he sighed in his heart, but the original fear of facing the beast tide was swept away at some point, and there was only infinite determination and fighting spirit left in his heart.
Even an elderly administrative officer is not afraid, how can I, a colonel in the army, disgrace the military!
I have to say that the leader's every move can indeed affect the morale of his subordinates, and it seems that they are infected by the generosity and righteousness of these two supreme commanders, and the soldiers present also dispelled the despair in their hearts, cheered up, and even stimulated an unprecedented mental state, there is a momentum that is bound to fight the enemy endlessly, and the jade is burned!
There is no doubt that they are mentally prepared for a desperate fight.
"The Netnet System War Mode is activated······ Fire coverage is being adjusted······ ······ in the calculation of battle predictions"
"The beast tide is eleven kilometers away from the defense circle, and it is about to enter the high-efficiency strike range, and the superconducting electromagnetic cannon has begun to charge ······"
“······ Eight kilometers away······ The cluster quantum cannon has entered the warm-up state······"
“······ The neutron sniper has entered control mode······"
“······· Measurement of pulse annihilation cannon ······"
"When the electromagnetic all-matter catapult cannon reaches the specified position, the material ammunition generation rate is 45,000 per second······"
···············
As the tide of beasts approached, a set of weapons quickly turned on, and as soon as the desolate beasts entered the best range of artillery fire, these countless weapons would pour out, bringing destruction and death to these savage and brutal beasts, and giving them a taste of human wrath.
However, just when the situation was becoming more and more tense and the endless war was about to start, a surprise exclamation broke the silence and attracted everyone's attention.
"Huh?! What's that?! ”
In front of a projection screen in the central control room, a soldier who was intently checking the distance of the beast tide and preparing to launch his weapon after receiving the order suddenly noticed an unusual image - it was a bright red light that flashed quickly from the side of his screen from the corner of his eye, but was clearly visible.
Before all the weapons could be activated, the red rays took the lead and flew diagonally into the sky, drawing a round arc before falling down into the surging beast tide camp.
Then, he saw that this red light had become a dense patch in the process of falling extremely fast, and it had become a dense patch at some point, and it was just about to land in the blink of an eye, and it had already covered the sky and the sun, filling the distant sky in the entire screen!
And then ······
The blinding red glow obscured everything in his sight!
·················
H-09 On a certain corner of the outer city's steel frame shield network, Qingyin looked into the distance and saw the boundless blood-colored waves spreading, and her brows couldn't help but lock.
"That's an exaggeration······ We have to get rid of as many of them as we can before they get close, or else the pile will fill this artillery shield······"
With a decision in his heart, Qingyin no longer hesitated, turned his head to the male heroic spirits standing around him and said, "Everyone, depending on this situation, we have to do it early, and strike first, then let's give these beasts a head-on blow first, Cu Chulainn, it's up to you." ”
"Is that what the goal is? It's really unpleasant······"
The big dog who had recovered into a blue tight-fitting suit pouted, and the bright red spear on his shoulder was suddenly clenched after he played a gun trick, and his vigorous body was even more focused on the center, forming a starting posture like a 100-meter sprint, entering a tense state of poised to go, and the originally leisurely look on his face instantly turned into a sharp look, revealing infinite killing opportunities!
“······ That's right, let's take you out of anger. ”
As soon as the words fell, the murderous aura had already exploded, and the spear in his hand was thrown by the terrifying force, piercing into the sky with an incomparable momentum, and disappeared in an instant, and a piercing scream sounded in the air.
"Go ahead! A Thousand Thorns: Piercing Death's Spear! ”
