Volume IV, Chapter 6, The Flood (I), October 2117
At this time, the rain clouds had dispersed, and the high-resolution satellite of country A recaptured what was happening on the ground. Like a black wave, the "herd" poured into the city of Raccoon and permeated the streets to every corner of the city. A large number of Cerberus, as strong as oxen, climbed onto the rooftops, in addition to infiltrating along the streets. They can even dig their grips deep into walls and climb the facades of tall buildings, and their movement speed on the facades of tall buildings is not much slower than their movement on the ground.
After entering the city, the black waves began to slow down, and now they turned into a black blanket, which began to slowly cover the raccoon, and like a shadow cast by a lunar eclipse, it was slowly engulfing the entire city.
There was a constant flash of fire in the darkness, tongues of fire from the guns of the Raccoon garrison. Cerberus was constantly hit by ammunition, and when the bullet grazed their bodies, it actually flashed sparks, like sparks from bullets hitting steel plates. They have a hard shell that acts like armor and protects their bodies.
However, their armor is not fully covered, there are no dead ends, and in the dense rain of bullets, there are still a lot of ammunition hits, their weak points. They keep falling or falling deep from the facades of tall buildings. However, more Cerberus quickly rose from the ground again.
"Note that they have the ability to climb, and repeat, they can climb the facades of buildings." The information provided by the satellite data was quickly transmitted to the Raccoon headquarters, but this information came too late, and the commanders of the headquarters thought that these creatures could only move on the ground and could not climb the exterior walls of buildings, so the troops only moved a large number of people, robots, weapons and equipment to high places, or high-rise buildings. Because they think it's safe inside a high-rise building.
Many in the Raccoon command complained that if they had known they would be able to climb buildings, important personnel and equipment would have been moved out of the city. Or, at least at the first time, it was thought of the evacuation of personnel and equipment, and not the placement of fortifications for battle.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the night, tens of thousands of black shadows formed a sharp contrast with the sporadic fires in the city. More than 2,000 troops stationed in the garrison are now fighting against an enemy ten times their own number. The enemy has no guns, but they have a pair of sharp steel claws growing on their backs, and sharp fangs growing in their mouths, which can easily shred the submachine guns in the hands of soldiers, and the large jaws full of fangs can quickly tear the robot in two.
Stand-in robot soldiers, one by one, were pushed to the ground, and then ruthlessly torn to pieces, and when the robot fell, the wires and circuit boards inside were still flashing. At this time, the "herd" had turned into a "wolf pack", and they showed a fierce light and did not hesitate to tear apart everything in front of them.
Twenty minutes after the battle began, most of the eastern part of the city had fallen, and the troops had formed a defensive line in the central part of the city, separating the western and eastern parts of the city.
In the course of a tidal assault from the eastern part of the city to the western part of the city, the wolves crashed into the defensive line and suffered heavy losses, which did slow down their advance inside the city. Barricades, machine-gun checkpoints and mines on the roads in the western half of the city played a role in buying valuable time for the evacuation of residents.
In these 20 minutes, residents of the western part of the city had formed two convoys of more than 500 people, escorted by a small number of soldiers. There are still many people who feel sorry, if it weren't for the thunderstorm, the high-resolution satellite has long taken the ground photos, then, long before the wolves entered the city, the evacuation information must have been sent, where would they wait until now to evacuate? If the evacuation order had been issued at that time, most of the residents of the city would have been evacuated dozens of kilometers away from the city.
Soon, however, it became clear that evacuation from the ground did not make sense at all:
Blocked by the defensive line, the Cerberus began to bypass the defensive line from the outskirts of the city, detouring to both sides of the defensive line, and soon bypassed the western half of the city, surrounding the western half of the city. They pushed forward outside the city, picking up speed again. The Raccoon garrison did not expect that a line of defense that had been built with great difficulty would become a knife in front of the water, and this knife wanted to cut off the water flow and block the water flow. But the water deftly flowed away from the ends of the blade.
The wolves, who bypassed the defensive line, soon caught up with the slowly evading convoy. With the rumbling earthquake, the people in the convoy saw black shadows surrounding from all sides......
When the "wolf pack" entered the city, the message of the battle had already been conveyed to the A-share Ministry of Defense for a while. The Marine Corps of Country A immediately dispatched 16 sorties of bombers to carry out air strikes against the already fallen urban areas east of the city of raccoon, dropping high-explosive and incendiary bombs. At the same time, transport helicopters taking off from military bases near Raccoon also arrived over Raccoon.
A few minutes after the helicopter reached the skies over Raccoon, Yokotan's defensive line between the east and west of the city began to crumble.
The stand-in robots are still desperately resisting, and the machine guns are still spitting out tongues of fire, buying time for the evacuees. People scrambled to board the helicopter and began to evacuate.
In the city, the inhabitants and officers and soldiers were constantly divided and surrounded by wolves, and as time went on, there was no way to find a safe place where the helicopter could land. Many people got on the helicopters, but their families were separated in the city. When the people who boarded the plane looked down, they saw that many places such as the city had been turned into a sea of fire, and some of the fire points and fire sites were caused by explosions, while others were the masterpieces of incendiary bombs.
"It's hell." Someone sighed in a shiver. If the city below has turned into hell, the term Cerberus to describe this unknown creature becomes eerie and apt. While the planes were still at low altitude, there were still people on board who could see their hideous appearances, incendiary bombs mixed with flammable liquid, covering the bodies of these Cerberus, igniting raging flames, however, their heavy shells did not seem to be sensitive to flames, and they were just like that, quietly, cloaked in a layer of burning flames, cloaked in the flames of hell, looking at the sky, staring at the helicopter with countless pairs of glowing green fluorescent eyes.
Strangely enough, in the midst of the flames, they are unusually quiet and do not roar or howl. However, their eyes glowed a breathtaking green light, and everyone who saw them felt fear, as if in the next second, countless lasers would shoot out from those green eyes, shooting down the helicopter.
It wasn't until the helicopters flew high and their eyes were no longer visible that people's anxious hearts quieted down a little. However, just when everyone felt safe and reassured, when everyone's attention was focused on the sea of fire and fierce battles on the ground, the danger in the air had already crept in.
After the helicopter flew high, the high-speed object was quickly scanned on the radar target map. On the radar, these high-speed flying green dots should be their own air units - the first reaction of the helicopter pilot was, but soon, the pilot found that this was not the case - these high-speed flying air objects, more and more, appeared densely on the radar, and collided straight towards the helicopter.
"Report report, they still have flying units, they have flying units!" In the communications network of the battlefield, the words "flying unit" began to appear one after another, and the frequency of their appearance became higher and higher, and the people who witnessed the flying unit began to let out screams incessantly.
"Bats are giant bats!" No, not bats, bats don't have such thick tails! "Be careful, don't shoot, don't shoot the meter, it will hit friendly planes." "Ahhhh All kinds of chaotic voices were constantly coming from the battlefield communication network.
Cameras on the battlefield, on helmets, and other cameras quickly captured images of enemy air units, which were immediately transmitted to the Department of Defense command center in the Hexagram building.
They do look like bats, but they are much larger than bats, more than a human tall. But they have a long, thick tail underneath, which is completely different from bats. Many people saw that the tip of that tail was shining with a sharp silver light, like the sharp blade of the tip of a spear.
In more video footage later sent back to the command center, the commanders of the six-pointed star building discovered that the bats' wings were not just for flight - those huge wings had a wingspan of more than two meters, and they burrowed into the helicopter cabin, spread their wings, pounced on the crowd, quickly wrapped up one or two people, and then burrowed out of the cabin, quickly disappearing into the darkness of the night.
Because the infrared rays emitted by these strange flying creatures are very weak and move very quickly, infrared remote sensing satellites have little way to locate them, and missiles, it is also difficult to lock on to them. The pilots could only watch them behave recklessly, and there was nothing they could do. Someone shot at them with a pistol, however, their bodies also have hard shells, which make it difficult to hit the vital point.
Swarms of "giant manta bats" constantly attack the evacuated transport helicopters, they use the tip of their tails to constantly drill small holes in the fuselage, tear the fuselage from the small holes, get into the plane, loot people, and then quickly leave.
“May_day,may_day。” In the battlefield communication channel, the cry for help from the helicopter crash kept coming, and the damaged helicopters, one after another, fell towards the fire of the city......
Before you know it, an hour has passed since the battle, and with the crash of the last helicopter, the gunfire on the battlefield has faded away, and the battlefield communication channels have slowly quieted down......
