Chapter 26: The Flood War (3)

After Laxis indifferently gave the attack order, the robot subordinates in the battleship immediately conveyed the attack order. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, nuclear explosions are still appearing from time to time in various parts of this colonized planet. For areas infected by the Flood, it is possible to choose such a method for safety reasons. Otherwise, just like the Precursors, use the halo system to instantly destroy all creatures in the entire galaxy.

Obviously, Xiahoulin and the others have not mastered the technology of halo, so they can only choose to use nuclear weapons to achieve their goals.

Since it has a pioneer repair and shipbuilding base, it has relied on advanced technology. The manufacture of nuclear bombs, in the hands of Xia Houlin and others, is very simple. And if there are enough raw materials, this superweapon developed on Earth in the 20th century can also be mass-produced like conventional weapons.

Perhaps there are still millions of inhabitants of the New Cape City on the planet below who have not left the planet. However, since the flood spores in the air have spread to that place, it is inevitable to take extermination measures.

Although the orbital bombardment of the fleet will kill millions of innocent survivors in an instant. However, it is also necessary to stop the flood demons and use the human survivors to spread to other colonies that are still safe.

For this cold order given by Laxis, Xiahoulin and Qiuyue did not say anything. Although he killed millions of people at once, he never did it.

However, the current situation does not allow everyone to be relentless, and none of the potentially infected people below can be spared, and they must all stay on this colonial planet.

The more than 70 warships of the battle group that received the order quickly adjusted their direction and flew towards the airspace above the city. More than a dozen nuclear bombs were then ready to deliver a devastating blow to the city of New Cape below.

At this time, all the warships of the battleship strike group discovered that twenty ships on the planet were flying out of the atmosphere. Apparently this is another group of fugitive citizens, preparing to leave the hellish world below.

However, these fleeing residents did not know that their every move was actually closely monitored by some people in Xiahoulin. And now it's too late to escape from the colony.

Those Precursor warships that saw this scene immediately used heavy particle cannons to fire a salvo. In an instant, those flying transport ships were hit one after another.

The powerful heavy particle cannon easily pierced through the human transport ships, and then the more than twenty ships in this batch turned into fireballs that exploded in the space orbit.

The tens of thousands of passengers who boarded the spaceship were buried in space in an instant. They knew until the moment they died who had attacked.

At this time, the robot troops on the ground belonging to Xiahou Lin's side rushed towards the outside of the city as fast as they could, ignoring the citizens and flood demons in the city.

Because in a few minutes, a nuclear bomb will fall from the sky, completely erasing the city from the face of the planet. Therefore, for every minute of delay, there is also an additional minute of danger.

The flood demons, who had lost the blockade of the robot troops, did not pay attention to the retreating enemies at this time, but rushed towards the spaceport where a large number of people gathered. Humans there are their main destinations.

Without the Flood Demon in their way, the robot army evacuated the city of New Cape Town as quickly as possible. And quickly found a hilly area, and then began to use the terrain to dodge.

At this time, more than a dozen meteor-like objects had appeared in the sky, and they dragged a long tail flame towards the direction of the city.

As the meteors got closer to the city of New Cape Town, the residents below noticed it. Many people involuntarily looked up at the sky, and some people might have guessed something, so they let out screams of despair and horror.

But the voices of the city of New Cape Town stopped abruptly at the moment when the first dazzling white light appeared. The flames of the nuclear explosion instantly appeared in the sky above the city, and then one after another huge balls of light completely enveloped the city.

The blaster wave of fire destroyed everything that was built in the city, turning it into a collapsed wreck. The flames baptized the entire ground, incinerating everything that could be ignited in the most complete way.

In less than ten seconds, the blast wave of fire and light radiation disappeared. The urban area of New Cape Town, which was once full of high-rise buildings, has completely disappeared from the surface of the planet. Twelve mushroom clouds of different sizes slowly rose into the sky.

When the nuclear explosion is completely over, the cyborg army hiding behind the hills shakes off the dust on their bodies. A small reconnaissance plane was immediately dispatched to enter the city of New Cape Town after the nuclear explosion.

The reconnaissance plane then sent out the latest close-range reconnaissance report to the fleet strike group in orbit in space. The place at the heart of the explosion has been completely flattened by a nuclear explosion. There were no corpses to be seen on the ground, neither human nor flooded.

The powerful flame blast turned the corpse carbonized by the high temperature into scattered dust. The amount of radiation on the ground is also unprecedentedly high, reaching an absolutely lethal dose. At the same time, some black dust is constantly falling from the sky.

In the command room of the Brilliant Artifact, I looked at the on-site reconnaissance report sent back by the reconnaissance plane. After seeing the razed city of New Cape Town, Xia Houlin and the others did not say anything this time. After all, millions of people, just now because of their own orders, all of them were wiped out.

After a few minutes of silence, Xiahou Lin turned his head to look at Laxis and Qiu Yue, and said in a calm tone: "Let's get out of here, the flood demons on this planet are no longer afraid. ”

"Okay, I'll go and give the order. Now are we heading to an area controlled by the Covenant or to humanity's sphere of influence? Laxis looked at Xiahoulin and asked, now that the two opposing forces were surrounded by the Flood Demons.

This is not a sign, and no matter what planet, as long as the number of flood demons is enough, the primordial corpse brain beast will appear quickly.

"Let's go to the sphere of human influence, after all, the combat power of the Star Covenant is stronger than that of humans. If the Flood Demons get out of control in human-controlled areas, we will defend them against them. "Xiahou Lin doesn't want to face the Flood Demon Legion that is attacking according to the orders of the Primordial Corpse Brain Beast, an enemy of that scale is not something anyone wants to face.

With the order given in the Vessel of Glory, the Precursor battle group soon began operations to recover the troops. About an hour later, the fleet under Xiahoulin's command finally disappeared into this cosmic domain.

Twenty hours later, with twelve warships of the UNSC fleet hurrying to the colony planet. After receiving reports from the survivors, the army immediately launched a rescue operation.

However, when the fleet arrived in the planet's atmosphere, it saw a post-apocalyptic environment after being attacked by a nuclear bomb. All the major cities have been reduced to ruins, and huge craters caused by nuclear bombs can be seen in many areas.

On the vast plain, a large number of corpses of flood demons fell to the ground. Black dust was falling from the sky, and the amount of radiation in the ruins of the city was already alarmingly high.

Seeing this colony washed by nuclear weapons, the UNSC fleet was immediately shocked. You know, when they came here, the survivors said that there were millions more on this planet. But judging from the current situation, the people here are dead.

The fleet commander immediately guessed that it was the Covenant of Stars that destroyed all the cities on the planet, but he quickly vetoed it.

When the Covenant fleet carried out orbital bombardment of planets, they used plasma bombs to deliver devastating strikes. Where the ground is attacked, there is often a lot of vitrification on the ground due to extreme heat.

And the surface in front of you is exactly the scene after the bombing of nuclear weapons. At present, only human armies will use nuclear bombs to attack.

Having received no effective answer on the spot, the UNSC commander did not continue to order the fleet to stay, but left and began to return home. The matter here is ready to be reported to Zhiyuanxing.
