Chapter 446: Breakout Battle
Wu Qi came back to his senses, looked at Guo Baibai's eyes, and whispered, "It's okay." ”
Guo Baibai looked at Wu Qi's face worriedly. The phrase "it's okay" is unconvincing. She took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Wu Qi's forehead. Wu Qi realized that he had so many cold sweats.
"Is it really okay?" Guo Baibai helped Wu Qi wipe his sweat and said softly. She actually knew that even if Wu Qi had a situation in his heart, he would not say it.
Wu Qi shook his head, his palpitations were completely unfounded, how could he say it.
"I'm thinking too much, don't laugh at me." Wu Qi said.
Guo Baibai snorted lightly and put his face back to the front. She was not unhappy, Wu Qi and the way she spoke to her had a subtle change from before, Wu Qi herself didn't seem to notice it, but she was very keen, and she noticed it at once.
Although this is "taken for granted", Guo Baibai still feels happy. It's just that Wu Qi's face is pale now, and she doesn't have that mood if she wants to be happy.
The armed convoy continued to gallop across the wasteland, leaving behind an endless sea of plague corpses in the rear of the road. As time went on, the convoy of armed forces got shorter and shorter to base Dawn, and the number and intensity of plague species encountered began to skyrocket.
By the time the number on the timer jumped to 13 minutes, the armed convoy was already in an encirclement of an endless number of plague-like beasts that filled the heavens and the earth.
Previously, the convoy had collided with two third-order plague species one after another, and by the time they had killed those two powerful roadblockers, the convoy had been surrounded in all directions by the tide of plague beasts that had taken advantage of the void.
20 anti-aircraft machine guns and 6 heavy guns fired frantically, but they were only able to pinn down all the enemy within 20 meters of the convoy. This distance is very dangerous for the convoy, and the slightest mistake will be pounced on by the mad plague seeds; Moreover, the area of the plague beast tide was piling up more and more, and the firepower scattered by the armed convoy was not enough to tear an arrow-shaped gap in front of the convoy that could accelerate the breakthrough, and the speed of the advance had to be reduced to 130 kilometers per hour.
The situation was quite bad, and when this kind of armed convoy was trying its best to maintain such a delicate balance, once a third-order plague species appeared in the wasteland, it would be the last straw that crushed the armed convoy.
Tremendous pressure fell on the hands of the machine gunners and heavy gunners, on the shoulders of the commander, General Hicks, and likewise on the soldiers of the entire convoy.
No one wanted to die, but if the soldiers now had a superfluous machine gun with ammunition on hand, they would definitely climb on the roof of the car and start firing. However, they only have electromagnetic kinetic energy rifles in their hands, and they can only kill one enemy with one shot.
The miners hiding in the trolleys of armed cars 3, 4, 5 and 6 almost all closed their eyes and folded their hands, silently praying for a miracle. Li Fushan sat in front of a group of miners, his arms folded around his chest, his eyes glared and did not pray, because he was not religious; However, he was also afraid of death, and hoped that the armed convoy would find a chance to break out and return to Dawn Base safely.
At this moment, the atmosphere was so solemn that everyone couldn't breathe. The rear of the armed convoy has suddenly changed! The sentries of cars 5 and 6 immediately reconnoitred the situation behind the convoy, and suddenly found that at the end of the tide of plague beasts chasing the convoy, a huge black shadow appeared at the end of the horizon.
The huge black shadow seemed to be walking on the ground, and what was even more terrifying was that there was a tall and eerie pitch-black throne above the gathering of dark clouds.
The sentinels saw clearly that the true face of the dark clouds on the ground was a fierce beast army composed of thousands of strange appearances and hideous horrors! The tall pitch-black throne was the same one they had encountered eight minutes earlier. In the center of the Dark Throne sits the demonic Tyrant in human form, all of his wounds have healed, and all of them have mysteriously risen from the dead, along with the Tyrant Legion, and are now chasing the armed convoy with all his might!
"How is that possible! It's just that the tyrant is not dead, why can its legion be resurrected! The sentry shouted in shock, and he quickly connected to the command channel and spoke directly to General Hicks, who was in car No. 1.
"General, the tyrant and his army of tyrants are all resurrected! They are 2 kilometers behind the convoy of armed weapons and are moving faster than us! ”
After a brief moment of shock, General Hicks quickly ordered: "Calculate the current speed of the convoy and the speed of the Beast Legion, I want to know how long it will take them to catch up with us!" ”
The headset was silent for 10 seconds, and the sentry answered: "2 minutes and 30 seconds, this is the limit we can hold, provided that the team does not slow down any longer." ”
"I see, keep staring at the rear." Hicks said in a deep voice.
A gamble that cost the lives of the whole car was in front of Hicks. If he didn't do anything, the convoy would be wiped out for a maximum of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, but if he gave up the firepower network behind the convoy and pointed the extra firepower forward, it was possible to tear apart the plague beast tide blocking the front, allowing the convoy to accelerate again and escape the pursuit of the Beast Legion.
But once this gamble is lost, the No. 5 and No. 6 armed vehicles in the rear of the convoy will inevitably be the first to be captured by the plague beast tide chasing from the rear, and all the personnel and immortal bones on the No. 5 and No. 6 cars will be buried, and the total firepower of the armed convoy will be sharply reduced by one-third, and they will not be spared.
Hicks muttered in his heart: "If you are lucky, armed vehicles 5 and 6 will be caught up by the plague beast tide, and the convoy will be able to accelerate successfully. "It's life and death, and there's no time for him to think too much.
"If you hesitate, you will be defeated." This sentence is only six words in all, but it is one of the most famous precepts in the army that Hicks once served. The next moment, Hicks made a quick decision as always, to bet this time!
He is very confident in his "military luck".
Hicks pressed the button on the headset, and the sound dropped into the entire carriage. He gave an order to all the combat personnel, abandon the fire network arranged at the rear of the convoy, and sprint forward with all their strength to break through!
The breakout will begin in 30 seconds. During this time, the elite soldiers belonging to the No. 5 and 6 armed vehicles had much more thoughts in their hearts than the soldiers of other armed vehicles.
"Can the breakout operation really succeed? The tide of plague beasts behind us is catching up at a much faster rate than we are marching now. ”
"Now, General Hicks has to take a gamble. If the convoy accelerates faster than the enemy chasing from behind, we can survive and the whole team will survive. ”
"That's right, we believe General Hicks. I have been with General Hicks for 3 years and 9 months in the occupied area, and I have never seen General Hicks defeat a battle. Every time you go out to the army, there are many dangers, but there seems to be a military god who always cares for the general. So I believe that the general will succeed this time! ”
Thirty seconds was short, and with the permission of the squad leader, the soldiers made one last brief exchange before the battle was carried out.
