Chapter 171: Black Wall Scorched Earth
Recovering from the impact of the explosion in Dongcheng District, Wang Zhiyuan turned on all the observation equipment that could still be used by vehicles, and the entire block looked not much different from after the nuclear explosion.
The streets are full of debris blowing from nowhere, and even the drone hanging on the communication base station has disappeared.
The flames on the horizon stretch for dozens of kilometers, and the distance on the tank side is not a big problem, and Cortana is manipulating the robotic arm to clear the billboard smashed on the E100 turret.
Turn on the ambient air to test and take samples, confirm that there is no radioactive dust in the air, and the wind direction is southeasterly, so it seems that the fire will not spread for a short time.
stared at the screen for a long time, but not a single moving target around him appeared, and Wang Zhiyuan, whose eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, simply put on a blanket and slept in the cab of the RV.
She was asleep and was woken up by Xia Lingyun a few times, she hung a pair of panda eyes and said, "You still say that you are on duty?" I came in and slept like a dead pig, and I just woke you up when the maintenance progress bar was full. ”
Rubbing his eyes that were a little sticky, Wang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It seems that overtime repairs can indeed be much faster." Now that 7 am is 5 hours earlier than originally expected, is there anything unusual in the second half of the night? ”
Xia Lingyun closed the laptop and hit Haxian and said, "Ah~~Hi~~ The surroundings are unusually quiet, and I haven't seen anyone who can move." ”
Touching a laptop that still had residual warmth, Wang Zhiyuan asked with some surprise: "You just sat next to me and picked up garbage all night?" Xia Lingyun closed her eyes and replied: "Otherwise? I went to sleep first. Wang Zhiyuan gave a thumbs up and said: "Liver Emperor~Hard work~~"
After a brief wash, Wang Zhiyuan glanced at the black ash outside, put on a gas mask and cautiously slipped into the cockpit of the tank.
An inexplicable sense of security suddenly returned to his side, opened the electronic map on the screen and said: "Cortana ~ All vehicles are started and ready to go, and Robot No. 5 stays in the maintenance compartment and changes clothes at any time to deal with unexpected situations." ”
After carefully studying the map, along the edge of the still smoking fire in Dongcheng, there are roughly two autonomous driving path points. After driving in low-speed mode for more than an hour, Wang Zhiyuan stopped the tank a kilometer away from the smoky Dongcheng District.
Push open the turret hatch and release a gray-black rotary-wing drone, returning to the commander's seat Wang Zhiyuan said: "Cortana ~ With the cover of smoke, the drone rises to a height of 500 meters, carefully reconnoites the surrounding environment, and by the way, does an ambient air sampling analysis." ”
Cortana called up the list of ambient air analysis on the commander's screen and said: "Master Chief ~ can be sure that last night was not a nuclear explosion, according to the existing data analysis and residual particles in the air, it should be a large thermobaric bomb explosion." In addition to the smoke from the combustion, a large number of infected fungal spores that have died were found in the air. ”
Wang Zhiyuan looked at the slowly rising drone and said: "This understands, it seems that the number of Zerg that appeared in the Dongcheng area last night was huge, and it seriously exceeded the defense capability of the Chang'an camp before using this method of burning the city." ”
The picture taken by the drone from high altitude greatly exceeded Wang Zhiyuan's imagination, and the area of more than 100 square kilometers centered on Dongcheng District was reduced to nothing.
Hordes of charred Zerg creatures filled the streets, and the ground was covered with craters left behind by artillery fire. The blackened high wall to the west of the camp was littered with fragmented debris of insect swarms, and several heavy loaders were pushing all kinds of wreckage into the fire ditch more than 10 meters deep outside the wall.
Wang Zhiyuan was wondering: "The Chang'an camp seems to be particularly fond of burning corpses, why are they so concerned about burning insects?" ”
Cortana suddenly issued a warning: "Master Chief, 100 meters ahead, an unknown vibration has suddenly been detected underground, the frequency of the vibration is rising rapidly, and according to the law of movement, it is estimated that some kind of large creature is digging underground." ”
Wang Zhiyuan immediately changed to the gunner's position and said: "The automatic loader is ready to reload the first armor-piercing bullet, and the second armor-shattering bullet is just to try these two newly developed ammunition." Vehicles behind you should step back 50 meters and maintain a relatively safe distance. ”
Watching the slightly raised sand dunes on the street approaching quickly, Wang Zhiyuan had a lesson from the last antlion.
Feeling that he couldn't wait for this thing to come out from under the tank, he immediately ordered: "Cortana ~ operate the 88mm mortar on the rear vehicle, bombard the unidentified target underground, and fire two consecutive shots two seconds later." ”
A sharp whistle fell, and the mortar smashed directly into the slightly raised sand dunes in front of him from a high altitude, and there was a muffled sound under the sand.
A black-shelled burrowing worm suddenly sprang out of the high sand mist, and more than a dozen mucus-coated zergs instantly erupted from its huge mouth.
After spitting out the worms in his mouth, he arched his body and turned out four red chelica branches in his mouth, and pounced on the E100 heavy tank.
Wang Zhiyuan had already aimed at the scope and previewed the approximate point, and pulled the trigger of the main gun with his right hand, and the shell hit the light brown carapace of the worm's abdomen. Sparks suddenly flew on the carapace, and in less than a second, a round hole opened in the carapace.
The burrowing worm was about the same thickness as a high-speed bullet train, and was completely paralyzed by the metal jet that penetrated its body in an instant, twisting and squirming on the ground frantically.
Before the second mortar was reloaded, the shells fell from the sky and exploded in the middle of the slimy mantis, most of which were tossed to the ground by the sudden explosion.
Wang Zhiyuan quickly operated the 30mm chain gun, coupled with the automatic machine gun controlled by Cortana at the top of the turret, and the fierce fire did not give the really stunned mantis insect any chance to move.
As soon as I cleaned up the praying mantis insects that were stunned by the mortar guns, I detected a approaching burrowing insect on the right side of the street, and I had the experience of the previous one.
Wang Zhiyuan immediately turned the turret 90 degrees to the right and said: "Cortana~ The mortar is ready to shoot, as long as the digging worm enters the main gun firing angle, it will immediately blast me out of the ground." Other vehicles pay attention to the surrounding underground activities, and Robot 5 takes a bazooka to find a commanding height to standby. ”
This time, the burrower had just reached a distance of 100 meters from the tank when it was blown up by a mortar. Rushing out of the ground and opening up to the maximum of the Zerg unit, Wang Zhiyuan raised it to two sections below his mouth according to the position of the last shelling.
The moment the trigger was pulled, the 150 armor fragmentation bullet was slapped right on the carapace under the burrower's mouth, and the soft-shell warhead directly flattened the carapace and exploded.
In an instant, the huge head of the digging insect was blown directly from its body, and a large amount of tissue mucus in its body spurted out of its body along with the exploded body of the zerg.
Looking at the Jedi Chong's frantically squirming abdomen, Wang Zhiyuan waited for the second armor fragmentation bullet to be reloaded, and aimed at the part of the abdomen that was wriggling the most and pulled the trigger for firing
