Chapter 113: Octopus

The once prosperous city was turned into a ruined scene by the disaster in less than four months. The roads are crowded with all kinds of abandoned vehicles, and the bright and clear glass curtain walls of high-rise buildings are stained with sand and dust. Turning a T-junction, the street lamps were filled with the corpses of infected people of various shapes, and the withered rods hung on the loose jaws and swayed gently in the breeze.

Wang Zhiyuan saw through the captain's observation mirror that the corpses of infected people were full of overhead, not only on street lamps, but also on the windows of many high-rise buildings. Wang Zhiyuan immediately asked Xia Lingyun to stop, clicked on the commander's tactical screen and said, "Cortana~ Detect the content of infected spores in the air in the surrounding environment. ”

In less than a minute, Cortana called up a set of ambient air detection data on the screen and said: "Master Chief ~ There are currently no infected spores found in the surrounding air, and a large number of dead infected spores are attached to the ground and buildings. ”

Wang Zhiyuan ran to the equipment compartment and took out two gas masks, handed one to Xia Lingyun and said, "Cortana ~ Increase the power of the air filter, pay close attention to the index of infected spores in the air." ”

The tank crawled through the fine sand and walked to the perimeter of a hotel door, and found that the road ahead was completely blocked. Wang Zhiyuan immediately let the tank turn right and drove into the entrance of the hotel's underground garage.

When the armored RV and six-wheeled truck entered the dark entrance, Wang Zhiyuan said: "Robot No. 5 and Ka arrest the two of you, hold two logistics vehicles here, and wait for me to come back." ”

Xia Lingyun raised her head and asked, "Why did you put these two cars here, what should I do if the supplies are lost?" ”

Wang Zhiyuan pointed to the screen on the bridge and said: "Look at the road conditions in front, so many cars have to be cleared all the way, the protection of these two cars is very poor, and if there is an accident, the front and rear are blocked, and you will be in a dilemma." ”

"This time, we're going to Dongcheng to search for the wreckage of the King God Star spaceship, a tank is more flexible. The main danger in the eastern part of the city is the infected wasps, and the tank's armor is thick. ”

Xia Lingyun nodded and said, "You think so~ Do you need to release the drone to reconnoitre?" ”

Wang Zhiyuan pointed to the electronic map of Dongcheng on the bridge screen and said, "No, so as not to startle the snake, you drive the tank to this position." Prepare for a round of artillery bombardment of the hive, and I'll control the robotic arm to help you clear the road faster. ”

The tank drove more than three kilometers on the city street full of corpses, and a black cloud suddenly burst out in the middle of the high-rise buildings in the northwest, and Wang Zhiyuan immediately stopped. The hornets grabbed a dozen infected cockroaches in the block next to the tank and flew away, looking at the map and walking closer from the green park on the left.

Wang Zhiyuan put on a gas mask and threw an incendiary bomb into a streetside shop, and the tank turned around and drove along the artificial lake into the forest of the green park. The already gloomy sky was even less sunlight penetrating the woodland, and when the headlights were turned on, there were a lot of white particles floating in the air.

Wang Zhiyuan immediately tightened the pressure valve of the top hatch hard, and Cortana also turned on the air detection data and said: "Master Chief ~ The surrounding air contains a large number of infected spores, and the air filter has turned on the secondary circulation filtration device. ”

There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, and Wang Zhiyuan also turned on the searchlight mounted on the automatic weapon station on the top of the turret. The entire forest floor was covered with a thick layer of dry insect shells, and the tank tracks pressed against it with a low cracking sound.

The white beam of light swept over the canopy of white flocculents, and Wang Zhiyuan immediately understood who the forest boss was. Quickly adjust the automatic weapon station on the roof of the car to the maximum elevation angle, and sure enough, a spider with a brown body covered with gold spots was illuminated.

This golden-spotted spinning spider, a little more than four meters and slender legs with a spindle-like body, was hanging upside down at a height of six or seven meters on the top of the tank. The two hind legs alternately pulled spider silk from the twitching abdominal cleft, and the other six legs swooped straight into the tank like a hook to grab a doll.

Wang Zhiyuan adjusted the elevation angle of the 12.7mm machine gun on the automatic weapon station, but the crosshair aiming was still much worse. Turning the automatic machine gun to the back, Wang Zhiyuan shouted: "Increase the speed of the tank by 10 and maintain it for 10 seconds." The tank's transmission wheels sped up sharply, the tracks rolled up debris all over the ground, and they surged forward for more than 40 meters.

On the commander's fire control screen, the auto machine gun's crosshair was accurately locked, and the back of the spider was slowly retracting the spider silk and trying to return to the trunk of the tree. Wang Zhiyuan pressed the shooting button, and the ten tracer bullets turned into red lines, and seven or eight holes flowing with sticky filaments were made in the back and abdomen of the spinning spider.

The golden-spotted spinning spider immediately danced wildly and fell to the ground from a height of three or four meters on several legs, kicking its legs on the pile of insect shells and desperately trying to get up. In less than a minute, hundreds of black beetles the size of black leather shoes emerged from the bushes in the dark part of the forest, and they were counted directly into the broken holes on the spider's back.

Wang Zhiyuan looked at the golden-spotted spinning spider that was flooded by beetles, and then he understood why it had to hurry back to the tree once it swooped into the air. Looking at the spider being eaten by the beetle, there was a commotion in the dark broad-leaved forest, and the black beetles immediately descended from the remains of the golden-spotted spinning spider and fled in all directions into the bushes more than a meter high under the big tree.

Wang Zhiyuan immediately turned the searchlight over, and a bird-catching spider with a visual eye of seven or eight meters rushed from the right rear. The body is covered with yellow-brown fluff, and even the red shadow of the tank can be reflected on the two large, four small and six dark compound eyes in front of the head.

Adjusting the automatic machine gun and just aiming at the birdcatcher spider chasing the rear of the car, suddenly the car braked sharply and tilted forward more than 20 degrees, and it was pitch black in the commander's observation scope, the automatic weapon station, and the gunner's scope.

Xia Lingyun screamed, and Wang Zhiyuan cut through the driver's monitor to take a look. In the footage, which is almost pasted by the flocculent, the red and black giant spider pokes out the upper half of its body from a large hole in the ground covered with spider silk, and its four forelimbs cling to the bulldozer shovel attached to the front of the car.

Constantly raising his head to show two dark red fangs, he slammed down the armor on the head of the tank, leaving deep dents on the armor. All the fire control sensors in the turret were pitch black, and Wang Zhiyuan immediately shouted: "Yunyun ~ slow reversing, now driving fast is very slippery to get rid of the trap." ”

Maneuver the robotic arm to spread out to the sides and insert it into the ground so that the tank will not actually be pulled into it by the big spider. There was no time to entangle, Wang Zhiyuan said: "Cortana ~ the main gun is automatically loaded with 150 mm grenades, and the secondary ammunition is 150 mm explosive bombs, and the muzzle is raised ten degrees after it is loaded. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhiyuan felt a violent shock at the rear of the car, fortunately, there were two mechanical arms on the hull of the car that were supported from both sides and only slid forward a little, and there was a sound of metal tearing from the tail compartment of the tank.
