Chapter 251: Investigation
The Kunta did not return to the airfield, as long as the pilot could hold on to it and fight continuously for a long time, and the situation on the front line was really not very optimistic, the robot scorpion stayed in place. Therefore, Nangong Rong also lost the opportunity to sneak near the body and let the golden retriever scan its interior to see if there was anything abnormal, at least today is impossible.
Although the army, which had suffered heavy casualties, halted its advance, it did not just sit idle in the sun, and sent a number of scouts to explore the occupied metropolises. If nothing else, most of the monsters occupying the city have been almost damaged in the battle just now, and there are only some scattered miscellaneous fish left in the city, and if the number of opponents is not large, it is not impossible to directly let the reconnaissance force take over the city.
After all, everyone needs good news right now to cheer them up.
So in addition to consuming a little ammunition and energy, the Kunta, which had no loss at all, became the fire support of these reconnaissance troops, of course, but when the same task also includes the air force and the surviving missile and artillery units, but with the presence of the robot scorpion, even if the scouts entering the city are surrounded and ambushed, the chances of escaping with its rescue will be greater.
Bigal, who had already been sold to the military by his own eldest lady without hesitation, along with the man and the body, had no room to refuse the formal order, and after the logistics unit simply replenished the Kunta with ammunition energy, he drove the Scorpion out of the makeshift camp and came to the nearest city to start the town.
It's just a simple long-range fire support mission, and if there is no detector, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to see the shadow of the monster and end the battle, so there's really nothing to worry about. So Bigal in the cockpit seemed very relaxed, and in order to relieve the fatigue caused by mental exhaustion, he even played music.
In the midst of this melody of classical symphony, a request for communication came from outside, and Bigar opened it casually.
"This is the sled dog, did you find us on the Quintah?"
After all, there was no need to sneak into the city quietly, so the scouts basically chose to ride in armored vehicles, and the handsome deacon soon found the one on the probe who was talking to him. This floating vehicle has many functions, and more importantly, it also has good protection against the attacks of ordinary monsters, and it is a practical and durable brand item that can be seen everywhere in the army.
"See clearly, sled dogs. Bigal manipulated the mech and wagged his tail twice to signal to the other party, "But after all, I'm outside the city, and the specific situation inside may not be detected, so you have to be careful yourself." ”
The Kunta is not used to find out the miscellaneous soldiers hiding in the ground and clear them, it is designed to fight small monsters, and the performance of the detector naturally does not need to be very good, as long as the range is wide enough. Even if Bigal were able to contact satellites to get a map of the entire city, it would not be able to probe the interior of buildings and sewers, and it would not be able to clear the potential threat in advance.
It's also an option to have a reconnaissance plane with a lot of sophisticated detection equipment to search for remnants, but inside the building, monsters hiding in the sewers aren't easy to find, and the plane has to hover in mid-air for long periods of time to scan - is there a better and more visible target?
After fighting with humans so many times, the little green-skinned gnomes have already added anti-detection capabilities to their monsters, and with the help of terrain advantages, it is not possible to send planes to grasp their whereabouts by casually turning around at high altitudes twice, and they must be discovered by ground troops.
That's why the sled dog and his companions are in the city.
"Understand, Kunta, please be prepared to provide fire support at all times, our lives are up to you. ”
After the call, the armored car shaped like a beetle began to slowly move along the road, and Bigar also watched the surrounding situation through the other party's external camera, and got a good idea of what the city looked like after being occupied by the enemy.
At the beginning, the army was driven by the alpha behind, and these metropolises were not seriously defended at all and gave up, so the buildings in the city were fortunate not to have been baptized by war, and most of them remained in good shape. However, after being occupied by monsters, there was still some damage, the wires erected in all directions in the city were torn apart, a few buildings with their own power supply facilities were demolished by monsters into ruins, and even a few blood stains could be seen occasionally.
The humans, who didn't have time or didn't intend to flee in the first place, fought the monsters in the city, but it didn't help, it was just a sacrifice. However, by the place of destruction and the location of the traces left by the battle, it is very obvious that the monster is targeted.
They are keeping an eye on human energy, and whether they occupy large cities or small towns, these adventures and crawls are no exception to destroy the local energy supply. In particular, the power station with new energy generation is the main target of the other side, even if a large number of troops are deployed nearby and set up countless traps, the monsters will still attack one after another, until the power station finally collapses.
As an old driver, the sled dog naturally went to the building in the city with its own power supply equipment as soon as he came up, but it was already empty, and there was nothing but ruins.
"Kunta, we're going to stay here for a while and send someone into the underground waterways to search and see if there's anything missing. ”
"Roger, good luck. ”
After speaking, Bigar opened the missile launch port on the surface of the airframe, he knew that the infantry would need to take great risks to leave the cover of the armored vehicle and go into the labyrinthine black and closed sewers, and it was possible to suddenly encounter monsters at close range around the corner, hoping that these missiles could help the other side get out of the crisis.
It's no wonder that the sled dogs choose to take risks, the place where they are here is a large hospital, not to mention the power supply equipment, not to mention the internal storage of medicines is also within the scope of the monster's collection, they are not made out of thin air after all, and some special substances are also needed by dwarves. Blatant transports on the ground are vulnerable to high-altitude strikes, so the use of ready-made sewers is a very good option for the enemy.
The reconnaissance force was planning to go down and see if they could find something.
"At the moment, it seems like there's nothing down there. The clash of weapons and armor can be clearly heard in the words of the captain in charge who reported to the Kunta and the general headquarters, and there is also the echo of boots on the ground, but unfortunately there is no footage, "But the enemy did transport something through the sewers here, and monsters can be seen everywhere on the ground." ”
The command center quickly sent an inquiry: "Are there any signs of object activity nearby?"
"No, the biggest creature in the city is the big dog, nothing else has been found. Those monsters either rushed out in the battle just now, or the rest chose to evacuate after losing the battle. ”
The same happened to the scouts in several other cities, as if all the monsters in the city had disappeared. Even so, they still behaved cautiously, and who knows if this is a trap deliberately designed by the other party to make people let their guard down?
However, even after searching the sewers under the hospital, the sled dog still found nothing, and finally returned to the car with reluctance and a little luck. Even if you don't find any useful information, it's good that you haven't encountered the enemy, at least there won't be any casualties.
"Command, the sled dogs applied to go directly to the power station on the outskirts of the city to investigate. The power station is using new energy to generate electricity, which is the main target of the other side, and it should leave some clues. ”
Basically everyone knows that the target of the gnomes is new energy, but the land occupied by the other side has never been able to take it back, so they have no way of knowing exactly what they have done to the power station. However, now the situation has changed, and it has not been long since the monsters have taken over the city, and they have been defeated head-on by the army, and the humans can finally regain the lost land, and naturally they can also go and see what the enemy is doing to the power station.
"Agree to the application and pay attention to your own safety. ”
The person in charge of the command center almost did not hesitate to reply to the sled dog's application in seconds, it was clear that the gnomes chose to invade this world for the sake of new energy, although there were all kinds of speculations about how humans would use them, but after all, the last time was more revealing.
The worst-case scenario is that the enemy also needs energy to build its own monster army, in other words, a war of aggression with the goal of plundering resources.
Bigar silently watched the armored vehicle that set off again, and his heart did not even have the slightest ripple. Even if the gnome really came to seize the energy, what he had to do would not change in any way, defeating the other party and trying to let the human survive for one more day.
But the eldest lady should be very interested in this kind of thing, Bigar decided to secretly record the whole process and give it to Trist as her new toy when she returns - to be reasonable, the deacon didn't plan to officially erect the flag to attack the double ponytail to do this, absolutely not!
Of course, the members of the scout team codenamed Malamute Dogs were not aware of what Bigar was thinking at the moment, and the carefully selected soldiers soon used the navigation system to reach the vicinity of the power station as their destination, and finally ran into trouble for the first time.
"Enemy shadows have been spotted on the probe, three or five, no, they're rapidly increasing!" the sled dog's tone was quick but not at all nervous, as a scout encountering this kind of thing is commonplace, nothing to make a fuss about, "start fighting, ask the Kunta for fire support." ”
Before the words were spoken, the enemy's data was transmitted to the screen in front of Bigal's eyes, and he immediately began to set targets for the missiles based on them: "Okay, come right away." ”
The Kunta is also equipped with artillery, but after all, this is its own city, and the use of unguided weapons always feels like something is something, even if it blows up the flowers and plants, it is always bad, right? There is no need to worry about this problem when choosing a missile, and there is no situation where the ammunition crashes headlong into a skyscraper during flight.
Through the external camera of the armored car, it can be seen that the outer wall of the power station has broken several large holes, apparently made by the monster when it got in, and it is no longer known what the damage has been; more than a dozen unknown creatures resembling a combination of ants and crabs have jumped out of the ground near the power station, grass and other places with pincers, and rushed straight towards the armored car, and the one running in front was immediately scorched by the energy beam.
But it's just scorched, it's still early before the burp, the lethality of human energy weapons is really good, but the vitality of monsters is also very small, and they also have their own long-range attacks - sometimes it's acid mist, sometimes it's exploding body surface tissue, and sometimes it's ......
From the monster's mouth, a beam of light no less bright than the main gun of the car spewed out, directly hitting the body of the sled dog's car, and the whole picture suddenly shook violently with snowflakes, making Bigar almost think that the armored car was destroyed. Fortunately, the shock did not last long, and after the picture stabilized, everyone found that the force field shield around the car was shining, apparently saving the lives of a carload of people.
"Damn, Pavrick, you claim to be able to play drifting in quicksand in a classic car with tires, it can't be blown out!? Hurry up and dodge the other party's attack for me, the hull shield can't stop that, the shield is broken, and we all will be finished!"
"Shut up, you're interfering with my operations! For that time to complain that you might as well have roasted those monsters with guns, and maybe save a few missiles for the Kunta. ”
As soon as the battle began, the squad's mouths were out of control, and there was no intention of relenting because their superiors were listening, and the roars of monsters and the sound of weapons firing were accompanied by the sound of a war blockbuster.
Unlike the bulky vehicles that still ran on the ground in the previous generation, the current chariots are all slippery like loaches, and the mobility makes people completely unthinkable that this cargo weighs at least a dozen tons, so in the face of the siege of more than a dozen monsters, even if it can't be beaten at a distance, it is still no problem.
Then, the metal spear with a long flame trailing its tail descended from the sky with a loud whistling sound, engulfing the fangs and claws in an instant with a violent explosion.
"Thank you very much, Kunta. The enemy has been completely wiped out, and no other movement has been detected on the detector, so we should be safe for the time being. Command center, the sled dogs will now leave the vehicle and enter the inside of the power station, please keep an eye out for the signal we send back. ”
