Chapter 34: Killing the Bloody Road (1)
Sure enough, Captain Zexi's order had just been conveyed, and the world outside the convoy was completely lit up by the light of the searchlight at this time.
"Oh my God...... In this case, can we really get through the swarm blockade? ”
Carl was stunned to look at the world under the light, in addition to the dense swarm of insects on the ground, even in the air above the convoy, there were many swarms of venom wyverns flying wildly.
"Fire!" In the distance, the commander's order came from the city wall of Diesel City, and suddenly, a loud siren sounded on the defense line of the entire western area.
"Look at the back!" Hearing the movement behind the convoy, John exclaimed with some excitement.
Except for the driver, Joseph, everyone was looking behind them at this time.
This was the first time Carl had seen the Dessel base's defenses up close from this angle.
I saw a powerful machine gun gun, very shockingly adjusting their respective barrels, accurately aiming at the ground swarm near the convoy.
"Fire!"
The commander gave the order, and suddenly the rows of machine guns fired wildly at the ground.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The ground near the convoy suddenly rained, and countless sparks bloomed everywhere near the convoy.
Supported by these artillery fires, the swarm on the ground was unable to effectively intercept the convoy for a while.
"Accelerate! Quickly drive away from the swarm! On the radio, Captain Zexi's voice came out again.
Sure enough, after the order was issued, the sound of motors running rapidly came from all the armed jeeps that were moving.
"Chiefs, please pay attention to your own safety, I'm going to speed up!" The driver, Joseph, snorted softly, and the accelerator was already pressed down quickly.
Carl and the others suddenly felt a tremendous force that kept them clinging to their seats.
"Holy, this speed...... It's too fast! It's almost as fast as I could have been flying at full speed. John held the handle beside him firmly, and said with a nervous expression.
Karl was about to say something, but he heard the sound of wings flapping overhead, and his heart suddenly tightened, and his mouth immediately said:
"Be careful, the Venom Wyverns are coming!"
Sure enough, in the next second, a series of green venom was thrown towards the convoy.
"Get out of the way!" Carl exclaimed in horror that if it was on flat ground, he could still dodge with his own abilities.
However, now it is on an armed jeep, which greatly reduces agility.
The driver, Joseph, had already maintained a high level of attention the moment the venom was dropped.
Soon, the venom was at the same height as the armed jeep.
Suddenly, there were armed jeeps that couldn't dodge in time, and most of them were instantly corroded by those venoms.
The warriors in the armed jeeps suddenly jumped out of the broken vehicles one by one. However, without the power to arm the jeep, they had to stay quietly in place and stand by.
At this moment, Carl and his car dodged slightly to the right, successfully dodging the venom that attacked them.
As a result, an armed jeep next to them was not so lucky! After the venom attacked, they couldn't dodge, and they were instantly drenched!
At this moment, not only the jeep was armed, but even several members of the team in the car were instantly corroded into white bones by the venom......
Carl and the others were stunned to see the tragic situation in the world, and quickly retreated in their field of vision, but at this time, there was no vehicle to stop to rescue.
"Hey! Are we just leaving them behind? John exclaimed, puzzled.
From the beginning, whether it was damage to the vehicle or casualties, no car stopped.
No one else needs to explain it, in fact, everyone knows that if you are left alone in the swarm without your own rapid displacement skills, the chance of survival is almost infinitely close to zero.
Therefore, nine times out of ten, these team members who are left behind will be completely devoured by the swarm.
Hearing John's question, Carl and Leo were silent at this time, but it was the driver Joseph, who said with a burning gaze at this time:
"Sir, at such a time, the damage to the vehicle is tantamount to having been pronounced dead. Instead of wasting other manpower, it's better to prioritize tasks! ”
John was stunned when he heard this, and if it was Carl and Leo who said this, he might have retorted a few more words.
But this sentence was said by Private Joseph of the third class, and he could not refute a word.
In fact, there is absolutely no problem with Joseph's words, which is an awareness on the battlefield and a recognition of the current situation.
Don't look at John, their military ranks are higher than Joseph's, but after all, they have only been in the army for three months, and in terms of their understanding of war, they may really not be as good as Joseph, a small third-class private!
At this time, the group of venom flying dragons above the convoy had already sprayed countless venom again.
Under the influence of these venoms, the entire convoy suddenly broke out again.
"That's not right! Why...... Aren't our armed jeeps equipped with anti-aircraft artillery? Why didn't Captain Zexi arrange for us to defend? ”
The driver, Joseph, did not speak, but Leo explained:
"I guess it's to save ammo...... After all, no one knows how many insect swarms will be encountered in the future trip, and if you don't save a little ammunition, I'm afraid you will soon enter a situation where you will run out of ammunition and food. ”
"That's right, the chief is right...... Before we set out, one of the orders we received as drivers was to never use any ammunition from armed jeeps without first authorization. ”
The driver, Joseph, carefully observed the road conditions and agreed with Leo's guess.
John snorted speechlessly, and could only sit on the side sulking.
Fortunately, at this time, on the wall of the Diesel base, the commander had already opened the second layer of defense.
"Anti-aircraft artillery, ready to fire!"
Longer, more slender barrels protruded from the machine guns.
"Launch!"
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
This row of anti-aircraft artillery suddenly fired countless artillery fire at the Venom Wyvern group above the convoy.
The group of venom wyverns, which had just flaunted their might, was bloodied by the anti-aircraft artillery in an instant, and the corpses of one venom wyvern after another were all smashed towards the ground.
"Wow, wow! Stay out of the way! Carl firmly grasped the handle beside him, and looked at the corpse that had fallen like a meteorite in front of him, and his face turned pale at this moment.
