Chapter 82: Fierce Battle
Dozens of rockets pierced the sky, white trails floated in the air like satin, exploding balls of death in the spider swarm, and the waves from the explosions blew up dust tens of meters high, completely covering the first line of defense in the southernmost part of the city.
The soldiers had put their heads out of their bunkers, and they had built a ten-meter-high fence at all the street entrances, but they did not let this discourage them, on the contrary, everyone's faces were full of solemnity.
The screams of spiders came from not far away, and the soldiers didn't know how many results this round of fire attacks had created, but in the dust that gradually dissipated, the spiders continued to appear.
Without waiting for the commander to give the order, the soldiers who had already failed to meet the psychological quality took the lead in firing at the blurred figure, and when the first shot was fired, the other people on the position could not hold back their nervousness, and for a while various laser beams were fired into the dust one after another.
Due to the obscuration of the dust, the power of the laser was weakened a lot, but the spiders were still hit by the laser, the limbs swept by the laser splashed everywhere, and the blood flowers exploded on the spider's body, and the injured spider let out a desperate roar, and the pain and ferocity mixed in the sound seemed to tear all the soldiers on the wall to pieces.
The trembling fingers were still pressed on the trigger, the barrel of the laser rifle was slightly red, and cold sweat flowed through his forehead and down his neck, the soldier unconsciously turned his head, trying to dissolve the discomfort in his neck, but his eyes were still staring at the front, as long as any spider dared to break in front of him, he would let the guy know for the first time why the flowers were so red, oh no, so green.
Suddenly, the irascible spider colony quieted down, the wounded spiders stopped wailing, the healthy spiders stopped moving, and the soldiers could no longer hear anything on the dusty street except for their own rapid breathing, and the huge spider colony seemed to have all left in an instant.
A few brave soldiers stood up and searched the dust with wide eyes, hoping to find a trace of spiders. The soldier huddled under the cover with his gun in his arms, and involuntarily snorted coldly, these stupid recruits didn't know the horror of spiders at all. He didn't take the initiative to warn them, because the recruit manual had already said that the moment they stood up, it was already too late, he just silently turned on the interference-free mode and watched the people quietly.
A few black shadows flew in the dust, and the soldiers didn't even have the most basic reactions, not to mention dodging. It was a few sticky but resilient nets, even if it was just a finger, don't try to break free of it, unless the flamethrowers are arranged in advance, but the troops are urgently landed, how can there be so many flamethrowers sent to each team.
The soldier who was hit by the cobwebs glanced at his comrades in dismay, his eyes wide as if asking what had happened. This stunned expression lasted less than a second, and the next second the cobwebs were suddenly withdrawn, and before the soldiers could scream, they were pulled into the smoke and dust by the cobwebs, screams, the sound of bones chewing one after another, and the broken limbs were wantonly discarded by the insects, and some were simply thrown back to the wall.
One of the severed palms happened to smash on the soldier's mask, he didn't run around in fear like a recruit, but just wiped the mask dry with water with extraordinary calmness, he had seen such things many times, and the nerves in charge of fear had long been numb, at this time, he was not like a human being, but more like a machine that could only kill.
The smoke and dust finally cleared, and the surviving soldiers showed their heads, which was the beginning of the spider's attack.
But this time, the bugs did not rush to attack the wall, but waited quietly where the soldiers could not attack. The soldier was a little puzzled, according to the usual experience, this should be the most ferocious time for the spiders to attack, if the bugs are unwilling to attack, then there is only one possibility - the bugs are waiting for their heavy offensive weapons.
The soldier placed a pebble on the wall, his eyes aligned with the plane of the wall, and sure enough, the pebble that should have stayed quietly on the wall was beating uncontrollably, and the amplitude of the beating was getting bigger and bigger.
As darkness gradually enveloped the walls, the soldiers looked up just in time to see the massive toes of the electromagnetic beetles rushing towards their walls like pillars.
"Boom!"
The hastily erected wall collapsed, and the soldiers guarding the wall flew out like kites with broken strings. The soldier slammed into the broken wall, even though his body was protected by armor shock-absorbing protection, the soldier coughed up a trace of blood, and his internal organs seemed to have been beaten with a sledgehammer, and every cell trembled uncontrollably.
"Am I going to die?"
The soldier's consciousness was blurring, and he tried to move his arms, but all he could hear was a weak moan, and his brain was already hallucinating, and he didn't even know if he had raised his hand.
The roar of the spider lingered in his ears, and the soldier could hear the pleasure conveyed in the cry, a cheer of annihilation of the enemy, ready to feast.
"Maybe I'll be the minced meat in the spider's belly soon, or maybe it's over."
The soldier closed his eyes in resignation, as a veteran of three years of service in the first line of troops, he knew very well that once the defensive line was breached, a flood of spiders would rush into the city, and it would be almost impossible for them to complete the difficult task of plugging the gap with just a few of their garrison soldiers.
"Huh." "Boom!"
As soon as the soldier closed his eyes and wanted to sleep for a while, a series of violent explosions suddenly sounded around him, and the shock wave blew into the dilapidated high-rise building, and the whole earth trembled.
In a daze, the soldier felt his arm pulled up, and a huge palm lifted his badly wounded body.
"Ryan, is he still alive?"
"Alive, sir, his life lights are still on, but the flares show that he is seriously ill and must be healed immediately."
"yes, let's hand him over to the battlefield medics first, we have more important things to do." The captain sitting in the center of the Redtail Bird mecha lowered his head and thought for a moment, but decided to complete the most important task in front of him first.
"Understood, Comrade Captain." The soldier, known as Ryan, controls the mech's left arm and gently places the soldier behind the mech, and a dedicated medical officer will immediately take him to safety.
The captain and the other mechs were turning over, their eyes fixed on the spiders pouring into the streets.
"Everyone, we're ready to go!"
"Cheetah team, Hurua!"
The other four let out a roar of rage. The engine at the tail of the mech spewed a strong air current, pushing the mech to eject out.
"Hah!"
A punch slammed into the middle of the scorpion swarm, and the shockwave instantly knocked over all the insects within twenty meters of the mecha, and two Gatling guns stretched out from the mech's shoulders, and opened their bows left and right to shoot at the surrounding spiders.
The modules of the hands began to deform, and six white high-explosive rockets stretched out around the wrists.
"Rockets on the left, thirty meters at eleven o'clock, two shots; On the right, thirty-five meters at three o'clock, three shots. ”
As soon as the captain's order was issued, the mech's arm immediately turned, and five rockets rang out, hitting the load-bearing wall of the tall building. The already dilapidated building collapsed in an instant, and large chunks of rubble smashed down and smashed into the spider's most vulnerable body connections, smashing the spider into several pieces.
The tail propulsion engine of the mech spewed down air, propelling the mech to a height of more than twenty meters, and beneath their feet was a dusty street, and the spiders at this time had been buried alive in the street of their pride by the collapsed high-rise buildings.
However, the Redtail Mecha's opponent was not much more than that, and the mech had not been in the air for thirty seconds when a huge tentacle brushed over like a whip.
"Bang!"
The mecha only had time to use its left arm to block the tentacles in the air, but the tentacles seemed to be self-aware, and slashed through a strange arc and hit the mech's back. This blow directly smashed the tail thruster of the mecha, and the mecha could only follow the remaining force and fly uncontrollably towards the electromagnetic beetle.
Under the precarious situation, there seems to be no way to get the mecha out of being bitten by beetles.
Seeing that the beetle's open mouth was getting closer and closer, but the mecha did not have a good shooting angle to deal a fatal blow to the electromagnetic beetle, the captain was in a hurry, so he could only come up with one last solution.
At the last second when the mecha fell into the giant mouth of the electromagnetic beetle, the right arm drew a large circle and grabbed the edge of the beetle's mouth, although this time it did not grasp it firmly, but it was enough to make the mecha correct and get a perfect shooting window.
"The right side is equipped with armor-piercing rockets."
As soon as the captain's words came out, the high-explosive rocket on his right wrist had been replaced with an armor-piercing rocket, which was a tacit cooperation that could only be formed in long-term combat, and now every minute and second is precious, and if you are not careful, you will lose your fighter plane, and only this degree of cooperation can ensure the success of the operation to the greatest extent.
"Fire!"
The armor-piercing rocket burst out of the chamber and pierced the vulnerable upper jaw of the electromagnetic beetle, and the rocket exploded violently in the beetle's brain, and the fireball and shock wave instantly exploded the beetle's head into thousands of pieces.
"Well done, ......"
The captain's joy was not yet on his face as a sharp claw pierced his cockpit, slicing his lungs in half.
"Captain!" The other four controlled the mech's hands and tried to pull the claws out of the cockpit, but it was too late, the blood had already filled the captain's chest, and he was actually in a drowning-like state, and in this extremely dangerous environment, there was almost no possibility of rescue.
The sharp-toothed locust held up the falling mecha, and one of its front claws had been inserted into the chest of the mecha, and the other front paw was inserted into the position where the right arm was connected to the shoulder, and the soldier responsible for controlling the right arm died on the spot, and the right half of the mecha also hung down weakly.
"Two, I'm ready to turn on the self-detonation device." Ryan yelled at the remaining two that he was the only one who could control the mech's left hand, and if he lost his mobility, the mech would be completely shredded by the locusts.
"Always be ready!" The two responded in a sonorous voice, at this time, no one wants to leave the mecha, everyone has been fighting together for so long, and a team relationship between you and me and you has already been formed, as long as one person in the team is sacrificed, even if the remaining four people have a safe chance to escape, they will never live alone.
The left hand of the mecha opens the right chest position, where is the fuel room of the mecha, as long as the mecha's hand is pressed, the antimatter in the fuel room will blow up the entire mecha, of course, including the sharp-toothed locusts attached to the mecha.
"Comrades, see you in the next life!" Ryan roared and slammed the mech's left hand down.
"Cheetah team, Hurua!"
