Chapter 40: Repelling the Sea of Worms
? Unlike the original plot, the defense of the Han army was quickly defeated, Zhang Cheng led the soldiers to knock down wave after wave of sapper insects outside the base, and the corpse of the sapper insects 20 meters away from the base gradually formed a gentle slope, and the highest position of the gentle slope was even the same height as the base wall of the whiskey outpost nearly 10 meters high, although the gentle slope slightly obstructed the soldiers' sight, but the impact was not great, and due to the appearance of the gentle slope, the impulse of the sapper insects was blocked, so the soldiers had more time to ** Drop the sapper bug that rushes up the gentle slope.
At this time, the only difficulty in the defense of the base is the fatigue of the soldiers, although the soldiers have not shown fatigue at present, and even some soldiers still maintain an excited howl, but because the nerves have been very tight, so once the load point is exceeded, then a series of chain reactions will directly lead to the failure of the base defense, and now the defense has tended to be balanced, and no sapper insect can rush through the gentle slope composed of the same kind of corpses, so Zhang Cheng secretly wondered whether the soldiers should be allowed to change shifts and rest, and at this moment, the approach of a huge figure made Zhang Cheng have no time to worry about other things.
"Tank bug, that's a tank bug, oh my God, it's too big." There were exclamations one after another among the soldiers, and at this time they saw a huge ** type black ** beetle slowly crawling out of the collapsed pit in the distance, obviously the huge body of the tank bug is more shocking than it looks in the battle video.
"Calm down, everyone, don't change the target, ghoul, *** it off." Zhang Cheng shouted, in fact, he still had some ** intentions for this order, because the reward for killing tank bugs was much more generous than killing other zergs, and Zhang Cheng really didn't want this D-level side plot to be ruined by the attacks of the plot characters.
In "Star River Troopers", the rewards that can be obtained by killing the Zerg can be said to be pitiful, killing 100 sapper insects can get a mere 1 reward point, and the flying insects are relatively better, each killing one can get 1 reward point, so killing the tank bug can get a D-level side plot and 500 bonus points is very valuable, and Zhang Cheng also found a very bad problem, that is, the Zerg killed by using the nuclear bomb used by the mobile force does not get any reward at all, So the only hope to get the reward of the tank bug is to rely on the heavy machine that the ghoul is using**.
After getting Zhang Cheng's order, the ghoul immediately turned the muzzle, aimed at the tank bug and pulled the trigger, although the metal base of the heavy machine gun removed most of the recoil, but the ghoul could still feel the huge shock from his arms, which shows the great power of the heavy machine gun, but unfortunately, the heavy machine gun uses ordinary armor-piercing bullets, not high-explosive bullets, so although the ghoul can accurately **enter the armor-piercing bullet into the tank worm** 400 meters away**, but it cannot cause fatality to it ** The tank bug's sturdy carapace is full of bullet holes, the orange ****'s viscous **** seeps out from it, and even its two green ** eyes have been pierced by bullets, but the tank bug's movement speed has not weakened in the slightest, it is like a giant chariot and slowly moves in the direction of the base, and the **** sapper bug behind the tank bug also avoided the damage of bullets because of this mobile fortress.
"No, I can't stop the tank bugs, I don't use plasma sniper steps, can I just rely on this heavy machine gun to kill me? br/>
The voice of the ghoul suddenly came from Zhang Cheng's helmet, and through the unique frequency of the Middle-earth team, the ghoul reported to Zhang Cheng that he was unable to kill the tank bug.
Seeing the tank bug approaching little by little, Zhang Cheng was very anxious, in his eyes, the tank bug was a moving side plot, but Zhang Cheng turned over countless plans in his mind, and he couldn't kill this tank bug by conventional means, and it was obviously impossible for the ghoul to use a plasma sniper rifle, because that would inevitably arouse the suspicion of other plot characters, and even affect the whole battle, and when the tank bug was already very close, Zhang Cheng had to make a decision that made his heart ache, That is to give up this D-level side plot, otherwise if the tank worm continues to get closer, the base is likely to be breached because of Zhang Cheng's greed for rewards.
"Nuclear bomb team preparation, target, tank bug." Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Yes, sir." The nuclear bomb team quickly loaded the bomb and aimed at the ** huge tank bug, and just as the soldier was about to pull the trigger ** out of the nuclear bomb, the tank bug suddenly made a move.
At this time, the tank insect was less than 100 meters away from the base, and I saw that the two tentacles above its head flashed electric sparks, and then the huge body ** bowed slightly, and then probed violently, and the orange ****** that sprayed out of the mouth instantly burned after passing through the overhead arc, spraying out like magma, splashing on the gentle slope of the corpse in front of the base, and the sapper insect corpse contaminated with burning **** quickly burned and decomposed, turning into ashes, and a gap suddenly appeared in the middle of the gentle slope in front of the base, **** The sapper bugs around the breach crowded each other and rushed through the gap, approaching the walls of the base for the first time in a real sense.
"Hair**." Zhang Cheng shouted angrily, and the soldiers of the nuclear bomb team, who were a little stunned by the scene of the tank bug spitting fire just now, came to their senses and pulled the trigger before the tank bug breathed fire for the second time.
The nuclear bomb drew a strange arc in the air towards the tank worm on the opposite side, and saw something ** flying towards him, the tank worm subconsciously raised his head to meet it, and swallowed the nuclear bomb directly into his mouth, followed by a loud bang, the nuclear bomb exploded in the tank worm's **, and the huge power directly blew the tank worm with a thick carapace into pieces, but because the tank worm's body ** undertook most of the explosive force, it did not form too strong gas**, It didn't do much damage to the sapper bugs around the tank bugs.
"Everyone aim at the sapper bugs rushing in from the gap, ghouls, Murong Wei, don't let the other sapper bugs rush through the gentle slope." Seeing that there were already sapper insects rushing to the bottom of the base wall and tearing the metal bracket supporting the wall with their pliers, Zhang Cheng anxiously gave the order, because of the small hesitation just now, the entire base had fallen into an unprecedented dangerous situation.
"Ah......h
Due to the timely order, coupled with the unremitting efforts of the soldiers, ghouls, and Murong Wei, the crisis of the base was finally lifted, and the gap that was broken by the tank worm has been gradually filled by the sapper worm that rushed later, but Zhang Cheng still felt annoyed, he didn't expect that because of his greed, he almost turned the tide of the battle for the Zerg, and it seems that he is still a big gap from an excellent and calm commander.
"Hey, the Zerg seem to be retreating." Suddenly, a soldier shouted, and at this time, everyone noticed that there were no sapper insects rushing up the gentle slope again, and the Zerg in the distance were also retreating towards the valley.
"Haha, we're winning, we're winning." The soldiers shouted excitedly and shot at the retreating sapper bugs in the distance, but because the sapper bugs that crossed the gentle slope and entered the soldier's line of sight were very far away, they couldn't really hurt these bugs at all.
"Stop, stop." Zhang Cheng immediately stopped, at this time, most of the magazines in the ammunition library had been consumed, and Zhang Cheng knew that the retreat of the Zerg was a sign of a more frantic attack in the near future, so he must not spend any more bullets.
The excited soldiers stopped the ** attack one after another, and at this time, Lieutenant Hunter walked to Zhang Cheng's side, slapped Zhang Cheng's shoulder hard, and laughed heartily: "Haha, you can actually repel the Zerg who don't know fear, you are really good, it seems that I am really right to give you the command **!" ”
Zhang Cheng replied with a faint smile: "It's all the result of everyone's efforts, otherwise I can't do anything alone, but it is impossible for the Zerg to really retreat, I think they are likely to plan to attack the base again while it gets dark, so we have to take advantage of this time to rest and replenish our strength, and it will really be a ** battle after it gets dark for a while!" ”
"What, you said that the Zerg is a delaying tactic, does the Zerg really have wisdom." Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Lieutenant Hunter was very surprised, although he had never classified the Zerg as a simple-minded enemy, but the wisdom of the Zerg was just a guess, but he didn't expect Zhang Cheng to be so clear about this question.
Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "The appearance of such a large number of Zerg at once shows that they have been enduring on this planet for a long time, which can definitely prove that not all Zerg are daredevils who can only charge into battle, but I am just guessing, the most important thing now is to quickly repair the communication system, and then ask for help from the base, otherwise we will definitely not be able to hold this base alone!" ”
Lieutenant Hunter nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes sense, then you have a good rest first, I will lead Group C and Group D to stand guard first, and you will come over to replace us later!" ”
"Okay then, I'm welcome, let's take a break for an hour and a half and then change you, Group A, Group B, let's go." Zhang Cheng looked at his watch, there were still more than 3 hours before dark, presumably the Zerg would not have any movement before this, so Zhang Cheng did not have the opinion of Lieutenant Hunter.
Many soldiers collapsed to the ground after hearing that they could rest, and then they felt weak, and their hands and feet were weak, and it was not surprising that this situation occurred after high-intensity fighting.
Before stepping down the base wall, Zhang Cheng glanced back at the valley in the distance, and said secretly in his heart: Could it be that the retreat of the Zerg is just to wait until after dark to attack, or do they have some other ulterior motives......
