Chapter 140: The Sand King

Wang Zhiyuan took advantage of the automatic loader to load, unfolded the two mechanical arms behind the tail compartment of the turret, lifted the digging shovel and smashed the chest cavity of the big ant that was tearing the left skirt armor. The two pairs of hind limbs of the big ant flipped up violently, clinging to the shovel smashed on their backs, and the fluffy abdomen flipped back and suddenly spewed out a stream of transparent liquid.

The mechanical arm was instantly covered by filamentous objects, stuck to it and couldn't move, Wang Zhiyuan zoomed in on the screen and took a closer look and shouted: "This is not an ordinary infected soldier ant, this is a sun-avoiding spider, ready to launch an anti-climbing airburst bomb Other vehicles retreated three hundred meters." ”

As soon as the material truck retreated more than 20 meters, the smoke screen launchers on both sides of the turret "bang ~ bang" popped out two silver short sticks, and thousands of shrapnel sprayed in the air. As soon as the two sun-avoiding spiders climbed the turret, they were instantly beaten into a sieve, Wang Zhiyuan hurriedly operated the left arm of the mechanical arm and threw the two sun-avoiding spiders full of holes to the side of the road.

The thick dust on both sides of the road suddenly rolled up a wave of sand several meters high, Wang Zhiyuan changed to the gunner's position and bowed his head to Xia Lingyun and said: "The tank retreats slowly and hands it over to Cortana to control, you come over and take over the 30mm chain gun." ”

After speaking, the turret turned 90 degrees to the right to aim at the menacing sand wave on the right side of the road, and forcefully pulled the trigger for firing, and the muzzle of the gun blew away the sand all over the ground. The tumbling sand waves were blown away by the explosion, and four or five camel-sized sun-sheltering spiders were instantly torn to pieces by the shock wave.

At the edge of the explosion, the three were still struggling, and they were also paralyzed to the ground by several 30 shells, and the few on the left quickly approached the broken left skirt armor while running. Wang Zhiyuan hurriedly endured the sharp pain in his ankle, stepped on the left pedal, operated the flamethrower attached to the mechanical arm, and sprayed indiscriminately at the sun-avoiding spider who was tearing the tank skirt armor.

The flames spread rapidly on the two short-haired spiders, shaking their heads and rolling in the dust, and the dozen or so smaller ones that followed behind were completely frightened by the fire-fighting companions. The two heavy machine guns on the turret kept strafing, and the smoke and dust dispersed, and the corpses of sun-avoiding spiders were piled up on both sides of the roadbed.

The turret finally turned to the left front of the hull, and Wang Zhiyuan immediately aimed the aiming baseline at a green truck that had overturned the roadbed in the left front, and pressed the trigger to fire. The thick dust in front of the entire tank was blown away in an instant, countless shrapnel and truck fragments erupted, and dozens of sun-avoiding spiders around who were frightened by the sound of artillery were instantly beaten into a sieve.

Xia Lingyun knocked out the last two shells in the 30mm chain shell box and said sideways: "It seems that they have almost been wiped out, if there is really a large number of ants, we really have to go another way if we can't figure it out." Wang Zhiyuan picked up a box of 30mm shells from the turret basket at his feet, handed it to Xia Lingyun and said: "This sun-sheltering spider looks like a soldier ant in termites, but it is actually a kind of thing similar to a tarantula, which is usually burrowing, and it is very abnormal for such a large group to gather together." ”

Pulling open the receiver and tightening the single-bullet chain, Xia Lingyun said: "These days, I seriously suspect that you are a student of insects, and the stranger the appearance of the insects, the more clearly you will recognize them." Open the maintenance interface, set the repair sequence of the left skirt armor, the load wheel, and the mechanical arm, Wang Zhiyuan sighed and said: "This is the movie that the teacher asked me to watch back then, a horror movie called Camel Spider produced in the United States decades ago, do it as a prop~ The best thing in the general horror film props market is also a matter of no choice." ”

Xia Lingyun shrugged her shoulders and grabbed Wang Zhiyuan's neck and said, "Then my dear dramatist, what should we do next?" Go ahead or fix the tank first? Wang Zhiyuan muttered in his mouth: "Prop master, it's a prop master~" turned his head and said: "The tank is not damaged much and continues to walk, there are still about five hours before dark, which should be enough to walk to the outskirts of Chang'an." Otherwise, at night, who knows what dangerous things will come out of the surrounding soil. ”

The damaged tank on the left side struggled to navigate the shallow roads buried in loess, and the dust deposited around it thickened as it went. The entire highway and everything around it was almost covered with loose loess, and some of the low-slung cars had only one roof on the road.

Putting down the bulldozer shovel and pushing all the way, Xia Lingyun's difficult driver walked along the road with a slightly skewed red tank on the left track. Along the way, Wang Zhiyuan saw from the commander's observation mirror from time to time that the void soil in the distance on the right side of the roadbed was churning.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Zhiyuan leaned the tank next to a milk truck and said, "We've been walking in this messy place for an afternoon, let's have something to eat." The two of them had just eaten a few bites in front of the bridge when they heard Cortana say: "Master Chief ~ The open space of two hundred meters on the right side is abnormal. ”

Then a strange picture cut to the bridge screen, a pyramid composed of humans, animals, and various large insect corpses rose from the ground, seven or eight meters high. Xia Lingyun looked at the enlarged human corpses, covered her mouth and pressed her chest in disgust, and said, "What is this, looking at at least dozens of human corpses piled up there." ”

Wang Zhiyuan pressed the avatar of the robot Ka Scratch on the screen of the monitoring station and said: "Karma ~ You prepare a cloud burst incendiary bomb, ready to launch at any time." "After saying that, set up the brake loader, load 150 mm deflagration shells, grenade shots, and turn the turret to the right at 43 degrees.

As soon as the turret turned around, Wang Zhiyuan pressed the aiming baseline to the bottom of the corpse pile and said with a smile: "It's just such an instinct, and you still want to trick us, the robot grabs the cloud burst incendiary bomb on target, and the middle part of the target is launched." ”

In the cab of the armored RV behind, a silver missile popped up in the air and spewed tail flames, drawing a low arc and exploding into a cloud of white mist on the pile of corpses. Wang Zhiyuan pressed his index finger on the main gun launch button and said: "Yun Yun ~ 30 guns are ready on your side, and wait for my signal to launch a suppressive shot." ”

In the blink of an eye, the dry corpse pile was ignited from the middle, and the stomachs of countless small spiders and various corpses burst out, and they were soon reduced by the fire into beating sparks. A few seconds later, the charred pile shook violently, then tilted backwards, revealing a piece of white spider silk.

Wang Zhiyuan decisively pressed the trigger of the main cannon firing, and the cannonball rolled up a surge on the void soil on the right, accurately hitting the back armor full of spider silk. Countless sparks exploded, instantly igniting the spider silk full of armor, and suddenly from the front of the burning corpse, a puff of sand and dust, and a spider's head more than three meters long drilled out.

The earthy yellow double chela alone was more than two meters long, and the shell with green smoke had just retreated from the barrel, Wang Zhiyuan pulled the trigger of the coaxial machine gun and shouted: "Just suppress the shooting now, don't let it easily drill back into the ground." ”

The huge head of the sun-avoiding spider was on the turret with three tongues of fire, and the huge double chela was full of holes and venom splashed everywhere. Looking at the automatic hinge next to the shell into the gun chamber, the moment the cannon was closed, Wang Zhiyuan pressed the trigger of the main gun.

A cannonball rushed out of the barrel and accurately hit the mouthparts between the two giant claws of the sun-avoiding spider, and with a loud bang, countless shrapnel exploded from the entire head of the sun-avoiding spider, and the slime sprayed and died to the side.
