Chapter 25: The Flood War (2)

As the mushroom cloud in the Flood army rose, the Flood forces surrounding the city of New Cape began to be bombarded with nuclear bombs one after another. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The strong light radiation and high temperature of the flames completely carbonized or severely burned a large number of flood demons around the center of the explosion. Those who were far away from the location of the explosion received less damage, but the powerful shockwave that followed tore their bodies apart in an instant.

Relying on the terrifying destructive power of nuclear weapons, in an instant, the original fierce army of the Flood Demon suddenly disappeared by more than half. Among them, those who are on the periphery, especially the losses.

With charred corpses strewn across the ground, the Flood army is clearly unable to combat the mass destruction of nuclear weapons. However, the remnants of the flood demons continued to rush towards New Cape Town, despite their injuries.

The movement of the nuclear explosion is earth-shattering, not to mention the more than ten consecutive nuclear explosions, which let the survivors of this city see the rising mushroom clouds.

Immediately, the survivors thought of the possibility that the UNSC had sent reinforcements to the area. But before the citizens could rejoice, they erupted in terrible screams again.

Because those flood demons who poured into the city are still carrying out parasitic activities. Turn all the living people and corpses you see into new flood demons.

This is the sudden appearance of a large number of flying machines in the sky, and then a dense barrage begins to appear, and sweeps the flood demons in the streets of the city.

Soon a large number of transport planes began to land in the streets cleared by the aircraft, and then a large number of soldiers armed with energy weapons quickly walked out of the cabin and began to attack the surrounding flood demons.

As the transport planes continued to land, a number of medium-sized mech units also appeared in the city. These mechs appeared, successfully stopping the Flood Demons from continuing their rapid advance towards the city.

However, in order to infect the citizens gathered in the spaceport, the flood demons immediately rushed to the army blocking their way without hesitation.

At the same time, many flood demons actually quietly entered the buildings in the city, and then began to merge with each other. Eventually, it turned into a new type of flood demon with a huge size, breaking through the wall and rushing towards the mechs.

It didn't take long for the flood demons in the city to use the weapons left behind by the marines to engage in a fierce battle with the robot troops. All of a sudden, explosions were heard throughout the city.

The weapons used by the human marines are still very powerful. Therefore, on the side of the robot troops, inevitable losses soon appeared, because in order to defeat the enemy, the flood demons could not hesitate to choose to blow themselves up such an attack.

Brutal street fighting ensued, and the battle became more and more fierce in the main section leading to the spaceport. Seeing that someone had blocked the terrifying flood demon, the people in the spaceport stepped up their actions to board the ship. Almost every ten minutes, a spaceship would be filled with passengers, and it would quickly leave the planet that had turned to hell.

Unlike New Cape Town, which has already entered into street fighting, the other cities on the colonized planet are facing a devastating end at the moment.

Nuclear bombs after nuclear bombs, falling directly from the sky. A devastating and merreless bombardment was unleashed towards every place where a large number of flood demons gathered.

Beneath the mushroom clouds that rose into the air, cities and craters of various sizes appeared on the ground, and the ground was littered with broken corpses.

At the same time that the colony planet was mercilessly attacked by nuclear weapons, in space orbit. A fleet of seventy warships was quietly watching what was happening below.

The size of these warships completely exceeds that of most of the current Star Covenant and human warships, each of them has a body size of about a thousand meters, and all of them are Precursor warships.

And in this fleet, the leader is a giant warship with a length of more than 100 kilometers. The golden shell makes this battleship look like it was made of gold, full of nobility and magnificence.

The battleship Vessel of Splendor led the battle group under its command to finally emerge from the shadows of history and begin to officially operate in the dimensional world of "Halo".

In the huge command room of the Vessel of Glory, Xiahoulin, Qiuyue and Laxis watched everything that happened on the colonized planet outside through the virtual screen in front of them.

The troops carrying out the attack mission at this moment are the troops sent by this battle group. And this is also the first time that Xiahou Lin and his party have sent troops to fight in this world on a large scale.

"The current battle of our forces in the city of New Cape Town has successfully prevented the Flood from approaching the Spaceport further. The more than three million citizens gathered there should be able to escape the planet after 48 hours. Laxis said as she watched the footage of the battle of the ground troops, which were transmitted back by the troops for the first time.

Although it is said that the ground forces on their side are indeed very well-equipped, they still suffered a lot of losses in the face of the crazy attack of the flood demons who are not afraid of death.

For example, many fighters in the robot unit were destroyed by the flood demons armed with various weapons. The Flood Demon in the back will pick up the weapons that fell to the ground and continue to fight.

"The fact that these Flood Demons can manipulate weapons is a real headache. Compared to the Zerg in StarCraft, they are undoubtedly more deadly and dangerous. Laxis looked at the scene of fierce battles on the screen and added again.

"Each dimensional world has its own unique creatures, and the flood demons in this plane are creatures developed by the pioneers to deal with the precursors, and I don't find it strange to have such combat power. The battle between humans and the Covenant, we don't have to worry about it for the time being. Xia Houlin said in a calm tone, in fact, after determining the situation that the Flood Demon appeared in advance, he knew that the next battle between the Star Alliance and the human race would inevitably come to an end temporarily.

After all, if the flood demons are indiscriminately parasitic and terrifying creatures, if they are ignored, I am afraid that both warring parties will eventually be devoured by them.

If the Flood continues to spread between planets, humanity and the Covenant will inevitably reach a temporary truce. Start teaming up against your common enemy, and then wait for this to be over, and then continue the unfinished battle between the two sides.

"Your plan to bring the creatures of the Flood Demon to the Flood Demons comes to mind, and I fully agree with that now. This is a biological weapon no less than the level of a nuclear weapon, but once used, with our current technology, it is completely impossible to control these terrifying creatures. No matter which plane it is released in, it is tantamount to unleashing a calamity that destroys everything. "Based on the flood data collected so far, Laxis has determined the danger of this parasite.

The whole process from the infection to the transformation of the host from the flood spores is actually only a few minutes. Such a speed can only be described as terrifying. Without effective quarantine measures, even a small spore can destroy a planet in a short period of time.

Laxis's attention happened to be the point of the rapid infection of the flood demons, this dangerous biological weapon, as long as it is properly controlled, can be used as a killer weapon in the face of other powerful enemies in the future. As for your own side, as long as you make sure that when you use the Flood Demon Spore, you don't get affected.

"You two really seem to have forgotten what will form after the flood of demons. The Corpse Brain is the highest level of the Flood Demon, and its intelligence is much higher than that of most creatures. It may also hinder our mission when the time comes. Qiu Yue kept her usual smile and opened her mouth to remind Xiahou Lin and Laxis that the most dangerous stage of the Flood Demon was when the Primordial Brain Beast appeared.

If the Primordial Corpse Brain Beast is gathered by the Flood Demons, then it means that this terrifying species will absorb everything of the parasitic civilization at an alarming speed, including technology, culture, intelligence, and all other information that is convenient for the invasion of the Flood Demon army.

If that happens, then the Flood Legion will emerge from its previous biological weapons and transform into a new civilization capable of controlling warships and possessing powerful infection and assimilation powers.

All creatures that stand in the way of the Flood Demon Legion will be mercilessly infected or destroyed. And at this time, against a Flood Demon Legion of this level, I am afraid that it can only use the kind of aura-like indiscriminate destructive weapon built by the forerunners.

"The Primordial Brain Beast is indeed a nuisance, if it weren't for the use of the survivors of this planet to communicate everything they see to the human government. I won't risk sending troops to get involved here, and I'm going to burn the planet with orbital bombing. "Xiahou Lin is indeed telling the truth, the best way to deal with a planet infected by the flood demon is not to contact the other party. Directly incinerate the area infected by the Flood Demon, destroying the infected body along with the spores.

At the same time as Xia Houlin's words were finished, over the planet thousands of kilometers away from the Brilliant Weapon, more than thirty huge cargo spaceships rushed out of the planet's atmosphere and entered the universe.

Immediately after entering outer space, these ships accelerated and jumped out of the system. Obviously, the people on the spaceship were not willing to stay in this dangerous area for a moment.

"Another group of citizens has escaped from the colony, from the time we came to this planet to the time we sent our troops. At least a million people have managed to leave the area, but millions more are waiting to be evacuated in the cities below. Are we going to continue? Qiu Yue asked, the longer your fleet stays in this star field now, the greater the chance of being exposed to humanity and the Star Alliance.

The human ships that left before will definitely report what happened to this colony to the UNSC. The other side will also send troops to check on the situation here, so it is in a confidential relationship, and it is better for your own troops to evacuate first.

Just as Xiahou Lin was about to speak, an emergency communication came from the ground at this time. It turned out that among the outer populations of the spaceport in the city of New Cape Town, there was also a large-scale infection at the moment, and it was out of control.

Flood spores are transmitted through the air, so what is happening now indicates that the infection has reached its final stage. There are no safe areas left on the surface of the entire planet.

"Order the troops to prepare for retreat, and at the same time ask the fleet to target the city and carry out orbital bombardment." At this time, Laxis immediately gave the order to attack the troops without hesitation.
