Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Redtail Bird-Class Heavy Bomber

The wheels of the Black Cat-class armored car drove through the muddy ground, and the heavy hull did not affect the agility of the vehicle in the slightest.

Yang Jingzhong sat in the passenger seat of the first car, the bump of the car was unimaginable, although the terrain here is really not good, but the designer definitely did not take into account the comfort of the members. Fortunately, the speed of the armored car is still very powerful, they rushed out of the encirclement of the insects almost without much effort, the weight of the armored car itself alone is enough to kill the spider, in the half an hour after departure, they did not encounter any huge spider swarm, scattered spiders are quite a lot, but the armored car's on-board laser cannon is not vegetarian.

"Sir, we're two kilometers from the oasis, and there seem to be quite a few bugs nearby." The technician sitting in the carriage walked up behind Yang Jingzhong and reported the results of the detection to him.

"Good thing, if the bugs are here, it means that the troops here are still resisting not long ago, and if we are lucky, we should be able to find some surviving soldiers." Yang Jingzhong got up from his seat and grabbed the PT-40 laser rifle next to his seat, "Everyone, pack your things and get ready to get out of the car and fight the bugs!" ”

"Yes!"

With Yang Jingzhong's order, the Black Cat-class armored vehicles formed a semi-circular arc to attack and advance forward, while the soldiers gathered in the middle of the semicircle, following the armored vehicles under the protection of the armored vehicles, such a formation is very similar to the infantry tank coordinated operations in World War II. In front of the troops was a dense forest of red vegetation, and it was impossible to see what was in the woods just by looking with their eyes, and the only detection tools they could use were Wolf's own thermal sensing system.

"Alert, a large number of creatures are rapidly approaching, a large number of creatures are rapidly approaching." Wolf's voice echoed in his head, more eager than it had been in the slums.

Without Wolf's reminder, the Black Cat armored car had already fired, and the laser cannon had sent the plant stumps flying everywhere, and if it weren't for the rain that had rained before, the vegetation forest was very humid, and the high temperature generated by the laser was enough to burn the entire forest. The screams of the spiders being hit resounded throughout the forest, and if you saw a hint of blue blood mixed with the flying red leaves, needless to say, there must be a spider hiding in that place.

In less than a minute, all the plants three kilometers in front of the Black Cat armored vehicle were leveled, and the clear lagoon was close in sight. However, the speed of the laser cannon cleaning made Yang Jingzhong stunned.

Now, the woods, which were originally invisible, have been cleared by armored vehicles in the simplest and rude way, and everything can be seen at a glance.

"Oh, no......" Yang Jingzhong stepped out of the protection of the armored car and kicked away the thick plant ashes that had piled up on the ground, and a bloody corpse was exposed in front of everyone.

"Look at his wounds, he should have been injured by sharp-toothed locusts." Yang Jingzhong completely pulled the body out of the ashes, the blood hole in his stomach made him gasp, and Wolf also explained the source of the wound in his mind "very timely".

"Of course I know that." Yang Jingzhong scolded secretly, Damn, look at the appearance of this neighborhood, the marines who fought hard here before should have been wiped out. Well, if there are so many bugs here, there is only one explanation - the bugs have set up an ambush here, ready to eat any human army that comes to reinforce them.

"Guys, pack up enough water, and we're ready to get out of here."

Fortunately, the lake was not far away, and five armored vehicles drove out of the ranks, carrying a hundred soldiers to fetch water in turns until the water bottles filled with everyone, while the rest of the soldiers formed a ring of defense, keeping in place for any possible spider swarm attack.

"Strange, how can there be no ambush?" Yang Jingzhong grabbed the binoculars and looked around for a long time, logically speaking, if the spiders wanted to attack, it must be the best time to attack while they were fetching water, but seeing that the last soldier was back on the armored vehicle, there was still no insect shadow.

"Am I being too careful?" He said to himself, during the time he was fetching water, Wolf didn't make any alarms, could it be that the insects really only had that little force in the vegetation forest?

"Sir, everyone is ready to return to the cave."

The sound of the soldier's report interrupted Yang Jingzhong's thoughts, and he shook his head, instead of thinking about these useless things, returning to the cave as soon as possible to find a way to find the sea shark was the first task.

"Got it, let's go."

Unlike when he came here, the armored car that Yang Jingzhong is riding in now has become the queen of the palace. The armored vehicle, loaded with a large amount of drinking water, was also much slower than before, and walking on some potholed roads was a great test for the suspension device, and the body of the car shook even more.

"Something is wrong, Wolf, did we follow the same route when we came?" Yang Jingzhong opened the curtain and looked at the road conditions.

"Yes sir, we're going back the way we came."

"That's weird, I remember it wasn't so bumpy when we came, right? Even if it is filled with water, it is impossible for the car to bump into a ...... it! ”

Before Yang Jingzhong finished speaking, a sharp claw like a long sword stretched out from the ground, piercing the bottom armor of the black cat armored car at the front like a piece of paper. Countless bone spurs protruded from the claws, piercing the armored car like a hedgehog from the inside out, and the soldiers on the car pierced their bodies before they knew what was happening, and the red liquid dripped from the bone spurs, merging into a blood-colored stream on the ground.

"Spread out! Spread out! Yang Jingzhong's eyes widened in horror, his right hand turned on the megaphone and yelled ahead, his left hand held the driver's steering wheel and tried to pull it downhill fiercely, and the armored car immediately broke away from the route and rushed downhill out of control.

But the car in front of it didn't react so quickly, with the appearance of the first claw, dozens of them appeared in a straight line in just ten seconds. Following the scrapping of the first armored car, followed by seven more scrapped one after another, the remaining armored cars panicked, some rushed to the cliff, some wanted to reverse and collided with the car behind, the two cars rushed down the hill together as conjoined babies, and some simply followed Yang Jingzhong's footsteps directly, and rushed down with their eyes closed.

"Stop!"

Yang Jingzhong saw a big rock blocking in front of him, and he was about to hit it. The driver slammed on the brakes in a panic, but the inertia of the armored car was so great that it hit the rock headlong.

"Boom!"

For a moment, Yang Jingzhong only felt that the sky and the earth were reversed, his two arms were swinging uncontrollably in the sky, and a bucket broke free from the shackles of the rope, slammed everywhere in the carriage, and smashed heavily on his head.

The armored vehicle rolled on the ground several times in a row, and did not stop until it hit another fast boulder.

"Has anyone been hurt?" Yang Jingzhong unbuckled his seat belt and slid to the roof of the car in obedience to gravity.

Fortunately, everyone in the car wore seat belts, and under the protection of individual armor, there were no casualties, but the armored car should have been completely scrapped.

"Damn, I'll just say it's not right!" Yang Jingzhong banged on the car door angrily, he should have notified him in advance when he found that the road conditions were wrong, but he was still defeated in hesitation after all, and the lives of those soldiers should actually be counted on his head.

"Sir, what the hell is that damn thing?" The soldier was frightened, but he didn't forget to grab Yang Jingzhong's shoulder and keep asking.

"A branch of the electromagnetic beetle, the spiny bone beetle." Yang Jingzhong gritted his teeth and explained word by word.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook violently, and the rocks of the entire ridge rolled down like an avalanche, and a beetle with a gray back and a row of spikes from head to tail emerged from the ground. Its massive body shook slightly, and the bone spurs that had pierced the armored car returned to its original state, and the armored car was unrestrained, and rolled limply off its round back.

"Whew!"

The spiny back worm let out a piercing chirp, and the armored vehicle that had completed the assembly around Yang Jingzhong immediately used the vehicle-mounted laser cannon to spit out a fierce tongue of fire at it.

However, the spiny bone worm is very smart, its fragile limbs are hugged under its soft abdomen, and it slowly advances forward with its indestructible back, and the vehicle-mounted laser cannon hits the hard bones of its back, which is easily bounced away. Because of the disadvantage of the nearby terrain, the armored vehicle could not effectively deploy the formation, give full play to the advantages of mobility, and could not go around the abdomen of the spiny bone worm, so it could only watch the spiny bone worm get closer and closer.

"Everyone, if it doesn't work, we'll ......"

"Wait sir, shhhhh

Yang Jingzhong swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and he didn't have to listen carefully, he just needed to let Wolf capture the vibration of the air and translate the sound into his brain.

Indeed, as the soldier said, in addition to the echinodors, there was also the sound of artificial flying machines around.

"Sky Sword attack aircraft? No, the Sky Sword attack aircraft is only a medium-sized combat aircraft, and it is obvious that the sound is made by a heavy bomber. Due to the distance, Wolf couldn't guess what kind of flying machine could make such a sound, so Yang Jingzhong could only guess by himself.

The answer was soon revealed, when the spiny bone worm was still about a hundred meters away from Yang Jingzhong, two fat fighters roared overhead, and three huge missiles with white trails hit the spiny bone worm, instantly blasting the entire beetle into pieces.

The shock wave from the explosion even knocked Yang Jingzhong, who was wearing heavy individual armor, into the air, but fortunately there was an armored car behind him, so the shock wave did not cause much damage to him.

Looking at the Chitail Bird-class heavy bombers whizzing overhead, Yang Jingzhong didn't cheer like the other soldiers, in contrast, he was curious to know who was in charge of the two bombers.

"Could it be a sea shark? But after that round of losses in the air, how did he have such a powerful weapon? ”
