Chapter 115: Death Sacrifice
There was a loud bang, and all the glass of the shops on the street was shattered, and the sand and dust rolled up around it obscured the dark red tanks that were still smoking from their muzzles. The sand and dust flying in the sky completely blocked the gunner's sight, and Wang Zhiyuan adjusted the aiming baseline to the right a little bit by feeling.
Waiting for the chain feeder to push the explosive shell into the barrel, Wang Zhiyuan lowered the aiming baseline a little more, and the flames from the muzzle blew away the sand and dust in front of the tank. The Twin Towers, which support the giant beehive, have begun to spread upwards on the faΓ§ade of the more than forty floors of the building on the left.
The building on the right side was pierced by a 150 mm explosive bomb on more than 20 floors, and the entire floor has become a sea of fire, with glass curtain walls bursting one after another, and black smoke and flames scorching the royal blue exterior wall of the building.
Swarms of giant hornets swirled like a black whirlwind around the twin towers, which had been turned into two torches. The flames and smoke from the buildings on both sides were twisted into a black and red pillar of fire by the swirls stirred up by the swarms. Wang Zhiyuan saw a large number of giant hornets leave their nests and gather in a group and fly towards the tank.
Quickly pushed open the hatch on the top of the turret, pulled out the safety pins of the two incendiary bombs, and threw them on the wheels of the tourist buses on both sides of the tank near the fuel tank. After a while, billowing black smoke rose from both sides of the tank, and the air around it was filled with a pungent smell of burning rubber.
More than 100 hornets with a size of two meters flew violently to a distance of 500 meters in front of Wang Zhiyuan's tank, and Wang Zhiyuan used a coaxial machine gun to shoot several provocatively at the swarm of bees hovering outside the thick smoke. The swarm of bees, which had killed two hornets, was completely enraged and flew down to the top of the tank despite the smoke.
When the swarm flew close to the 150 mm main gun, the dozen or so hornets that rushed to the front were directly shattered by the blast wave of the muzzle, and the stump wings crashed into the hornet swarm behind them like shotguns.
The 150mm grenade passed through the swarming swarm and accurately hit the hives hanging between the twin towers, blasting a huge hole in the spherical hive, which was the size of more than half a football field. The hexagonal hive was densely packed with humans and insects carrying milky white larvae on their backs, shaken out of the ruptured hive and thrown into the pyramid-like pile of corpses beneath the hive.
Wang Zhiyuan faced the swarm that was already close to him, and said unhurriedly: "Two groups of improved tear gas smoke screens were fired, and two groups of anti-climbing airburst shotguns were launched." After speaking, he took two detonating flashbangs, pulled off the safety pin, turned around and threw it out from the shell of the aft compartment of the turret, and tightly fastened the hatch Wang Zhiyuan shouted: "Cover your ears~"
The tank was instantly tightly wrapped by the swooping hornet, and dozens of giant hornet's mouthparts bit the tank armor and made a cutting sound, making the tank cockpit like a metalworking workshop, accompanied by a slight vibration that echoed everywhere with the sound of "squeak ~ quack ~".
After a few seconds of high-frequency popping sound, everything in the cockpit of the tank instantly fell silent, and two short silver rods that ejected from the smoke screen launcher to a height of more than ten meters in the air exploded instantly.
The steel balls in the sky smashed like hail into the hornets crawling all over the tank, and a large number of hornets that were stunned by the detonating flashbang were directly beaten into a sieve by this metal hailstone. The remaining hornets that had not yet squeezed into the tank were also knocked to the ground by gray-white tear gas smoke and powerful stunting flashbangs.
The fuel tanks of the traveling buses burning on both sides of the tank were also exploded by the fire, and in an instant, two fireballs four or five meters high on both sides of the tank exploded, and the blazing flames instantly ignited the transparent wings of the wasp. Wang Zhiyuan glanced at the somewhat damaged captain's observation glass, and the tourist bus that had been burned to an iron frame said: "Let's go~ Let's drive the tank over and completely destroy the beehive." β
Xia Lingyun asked while starting the tank: "Brother Zhiyuan~ Why don't you just use the tank cannon here to directly bombard that hive?" β
Wang Zhiyuan clasped his fingers and stuffy ears and said: "There are a lot of hornets in this group, and I estimate that there are at least a thousand of them in that hive, and hitting us with weapons may not be able to achieve any results." β
"Sooner or later, the Twin Towers will burn the hives hanging on them, and the hornets will not give up their hives easily, and the flames and smoke will quickly kill the hornets that want to save the hive. What's more, their hives were still being blown away, and the larvae were falling all over the ground. β
Xia Lingyun operated the tank to push away a van and said, "Your method is cruel enough, but I like it." β
Wang Zhiyuan took a can of juice and unscrewed it and handed it to her and said, "Am I cruel? They are much more cruel than us, and this should not be a simple hornet getting bigger, they should be a variant of some kind of parasitic wasp. All prey that can be found, regardless of size, including humans, is paralyzed with venom and lays eggs in the prey, and then the larvae will slowly bite the prey alive in the prey's body. β
Xia Lingyun almost didn't spray on the bridge with a sip of juice and said, "Huh~ Such a disgusting thing makes me feel furious when I think about it, how do you know?" β
Wang Zhiyuan took off his gas mask casually, took a sip of juice and said: "I used to be a movie prop master, and I have been in contact with the mutant monsters of those science fiction films, and I have studied all kinds of horror creatures such as aliens and biochemical monsters. In fact, most of the scary monsters in science fiction films are borrowed from some biological characteristics that are not easily seen by the audience, and the terrible face-hugging insect in the alien movie is the inspiration of a deep-sea spider. β
Xia Lingyun rolled her eyes in disgust, put on a gas mask and said, "You usually study such disgusting things, and you won't let people eat in the future." β
The tank bypassed a few blocks in Wang Zhiyuan's terrifying monster science, drove to the square two hundred meters away from the Twin Towers, and crashed through the fence full of debris to enter. Xia Lingyun was completely stunned by a gold tower stacked with various corpses more than twenty meters high, and those humans who were shocked by the shelling, regardless of the half-cut larvae that came out of their backs, were still lying on the corpse pile and desperately gnawing on the shriveled stumps.
Wang Zhiyuan patted Xia Lingyun on the shoulder and said: "Burn this place can be regarded as helping these people get rid of it, the reality is far more terrifying than imagined, in ancient times, those indigenous tribes such as the Inca also did a thousand sacrifices, and humans have done a lot of massacres in modern times." β
Adjusting the tank's main gun to aim at the Pyramid of Death, a fireball exploded in the pile of corpses, and the dried corpses were quickly ignited. Looking at the humans who were still desperately gnawing in the flames, Wang Zhiyuan was too tall to make up another explosive bomb for the hive that had been ignited by the building on the edge.
A large number of hornets swooped down on the fire at the edge of the hive, fanning their wings in a vain attempt to extinguish the flames with their bodies. The fireball that exploded at the bottom of the hive ignited the entire hive, and the hexagonal hive made of beeswax quickly burned upward.
As the waves of fire continued to rise, thousands of people crawled out of the burning beehive, and planted themselves in the burning corpses below, with the larvae writhing desperately on their backs. A large number of remnant hornets rushed into the flames from high altitudes without giving up, trying to catch the struggling larvae, but they were instantly ignited and buried in the flames.
