Chapter 120: An Unexpected Attack
Li Feng's mood at the moment was quite depressed, and the ruin and desolation of the entire Huaguo was far beyond his expectations. And to change this terrible domestic environment, the resources and materials required are quite a huge number! However, in order to establish a safe and stable rear base camp, Li Feng felt that it was still very cost-effective to pay only this price! As a result, a national rejuvenation plan covering all fields and industries was in full swing with Li Feng's strong support.
It's just that plans can never keep up with the rapid changes, and many things seem very simple on the surface, but in fact, if you really have to work hard to implement them, you find that they are actually difficult. Many problems that did not show up in the past have been leaked out in this large-scale construction campaign. Among these annoying troubles, the harsh climate environment and frequent mutant attacks in the Yellow Zone have become the main reasons for the smooth implementation of the plan.
Never-ending droughts, circulating flooding of rivers everywhere, tornadoes with winds of up to 500 miles per hour, extremely violent thunderstorms, devastating ionstorms that could slip out of the red zone at any moment, and rain that falls from the sky to kill people {contaminated by Tiberium mines}! In the face of the increasingly frequent extreme climate disasters caused by the serious pollution of Tiberium ores in various places, Li Feng is in a dilemma at this moment.
After all, the ubiquitous Tiberium mine infestation makes any environmental remediation plan useless. Without addressing the causes of these extreme weather events, it is almost impossible to completely restore the normal climate characteristics. However, these Tiberium ores have played an irreplaceable role in the upgrading of the Talon
What is even more life-threatening is the purification technology in Noah's database to remove planetary pollution, which is actually an irreversible cleaning device once activated. As long as this device is activated, the day when the Tiberium Mine on Earth completely disappears can enter the countdown state. In the face of these swarms of nano-worms that eat an astonishing amount of food and are tireless, and can reproduce themselves in a geometric manner, there is no effective way to stop them from accomplishing their original goal. Once you make up your mind to start, the consequences will be irreversible!
Li Feng didn't want this extremely valuable energy ore to disappear from the earth completely, but the problem was that its self-replication speed was a little too fast. The energy absorbed and transformed by the Dragon Teng during this period was not small, accounting for almost a quarter of the energy of the original data of the ore discovered by China at that time. But in fact, there is a full third more ore in various parts of China than when I first arrived. If we do not find a way to control the rapid spread of the Tiberium mine, the infrastructure construction work in the cities and the transportation network system covering the whole country may never be completely completed.
In this dilemma, Li Feng finally decided to adopt a compromise to temporarily alleviate this immediate crisis. When the Skins invade Earth in the future, find the best solution to the problem from Tacitus and the Skin's technology. Once and for all, turn this mineral that harms the earth into a magic weapon to revitalize the earth and conquer the universe!
Soon, under Li Feng's orders, engineering troops from all over the country put down their construction work and drove to the heavily polluted areas of the Tiberium mines around the city under the protection of a large number of troops. The next thing they have to do is to build as many energy bases outside the city as possible that will collect, store and refine ores, and quickly put these devices and equipment into actual production.
However, Li Feng did not expect that his order would become the trigger for a large-scale attack that swept the country. While the main legions of the various cities have been sent to defend the energy mining bases under construction, the NOD agents who have infiltrated China have already reached their staunch supporters and allies mutants through various special channels. The strange thing is that the set of mind detection equipment that Li Feng relied on did not play the slightest warning role in this process. As for why this is the case, I'm afraid only the Fortress Pervert trio can explain this phenomenon.
After all, the scope and speed of collection of the fixed equipment under construction in various places is very limited, but the spread of Tiberium ore is all-round. Therefore, Li Feng decided to create a batch of automatic mining vehicles that can move around to collect resources to cooperate, but these automatic mobile resource collection equipment modified from the Allied Chrono Mining Vehicles cannot adapt to the extremely dangerous climate environment in the Red Zone and the mutant armed attacks that may be attacked at any time in the Yellow Zone.
Most of these mining trucks were destroyed by a devastating ion storm in just one day after they were put into experimental work, and the part of the minecarts working in the Yellow Zone was also besieged by a large number of mutants due to their lack of armed self-defense capabilities! If it weren't for the fact that these minecarts inherited the characteristics of the Allied mining vehicles that could be teleported urgently, I am afraid that none of the last batch of nearly 10,000 new mining vehicles would be left. It's just that the mutants who were originally only brave and ruthless actually know how to copy everything, and I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems! It's a pity that these changes in detail don't seem to have caught anyone's attention.
The extremely bad actual test results disappointed Li Feng. Originally thought to be enhanced to withstand the extreme weather in the Red Zone, the modified powertrain can easily escape from enemy range after being attacked. However, the reality is often so cruel, and the intensity of ion storm damage in the red zone is unpredictable, seriously exceeding the actual data collected by Noah during this time. And the clean and neat destruction of mining vehicles by mutants everywhere also made Li Feng realize that the defense method of unarmed high-speed driving seems to be unworkable in this world where destructive weapons are rampant.
After this painful lesson, Li Feng decided to build an automatic mining vehicle that can be both offensive and defensive, but although there are many solutions proposed by professional designers and relevant experts, there are few that can actually meet the needs of the real world. In the end, after more than a dozen painful failures, a fully automatic armed mining vehicle based on the Yanhuang tank and the Crusher, with the rapid teleportation technology of the Allied Chrono Mining Vehicle, stood out and became Li Feng's favorite. And this kind of fully automatic armed mining vehicle with super protective performance and good attack ability -- Xuanwu -- is also quite perfect in its actual battlefield performance.
Ion storms are near-insoluble random weather disruptions with powerful energy fluctuations that can destroy almost anything on earth in this world. However, the new mining vehicle is equipped with an energy detection system that can provide emergency warnings before a storm forms, leaving enough time for it to hide underground with advanced drilling equipment to avoid the devastating impact of an ion storm. The two 125mm "Dragon" cannons and double-barreled Gatling guns equipped on this armed minecart can completely take out those malicious mutants sneak attack, if the opponent is too large and too strong, then using the Chrono Conversion Device to teleport and escape is also a good choice. Of course, if the attacker doesn't have that many heavy weapons, it can send a distress message. Let those who are mining nearby come to their aid.
When the Tiberium mine, which is extremely spread in various places, is temporarily controlled, solving the attacks of mutants in various places has become the primary problem that Li Feng has to face. Originally, Li Feng didn't pay much attention to the attack on mutants who were loosely organized and about to collapse at the touch of a button, and deep down he still had a little sympathy and pity for these humans who were genetically mutated by the DNA of Tiberium ore.
After all, rather than dying, being disgusted and disgusted like a monster, no one sympathizing with and paying attention to it, being abandoned by the same kind of people in the past, and surviving is in itself the greatest torture. If these poor people can be given better living conditions, fair social treatment, and the hope of restoring humanity, Li Feng believes that it is still very possible to successfully absorb these guys.
It's just that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel. The increasingly bloody and organized attacks across China made Li Feng feel that the situation was not good. Especially after the large-scale armed massacre of mutants occurred in the original Zhengzhou settlement, Li Feng, who originally wanted to solve the problem through negotiations, completely gave up the harmonious plan of peacefully absorbing these beasts. No one knows if these mutants are motivated by their own distorted inner world to do such a kind of sang-like behavior, or if they are really poisoned by Tiberium Minerals and have their brains convulsed. However, these are no longer important to Li Feng, who has made up his mind at this moment, and the other party's various behaviors have broken through his final bottom line.
To add fuel to the fire, the purge in Zhengzhou has yet to be completely completed. Military and civilians who were busy building roads and railways in various places were also attacked by mutants, and although they did not cause many casualties, they greatly affected the progress of the reconstruction of the country's transportation system. When these troubles came one after another, Li Feng, who was so anxious, didn't have the time to deploy a battle plan to encircle and suppress mutants.
Just as Li Feng demolished the east wall and redeployed troops to make up the west wall, a crisis that swept the country quietly unfolded against this background. Just as the clock struck twelve o'clock at midnight, most of the citizens fell asleep. The major cities and settlements in China, which were extremely defense-empty, were attacked by mutants on a large scale almost at the same time, and in less than ten minutes, Li Feng, who was still a little drowsy, saw red dots everywhere on the big electronic screen indicating the situation across the country.
Li Feng decisively sent all the troops that could be mobilized from all over the country to support, but judging from the pictures fed back from the drones and satellites, it seems that the troops did not solve the enemy as soon as expected, but many combat troops actually crashed into the encirclement that the other side had already set up, and fell into an embarrassing dilemma. Li Feng had to put the last few strategic reserves in his hands and some of the Black Hawk fighter groups sent to support the defenders of the city into the operation to rescue them.
With their strong physical fitness and tenacious vitality, these mutants can still pose a great threat to those militia units that have just been established and lack actual combat experience, even if they only hold cold weapons in their hands. Once these mutants break through the firepower blockade and enter these rookies, a one-sided massacre will be inevitable. It's just that mutants who lack thermal weapons are so fierce, not to mention the oppressive feeling caused by elite units armed with NOD assault rifles.
I don't know where these mutants got a lot of heavy vehicles such as NOD Spitfire Tanks, which made the battle line that originally relied on a large number of strong bunkers to stabilize instantly reversed with the addition of these "devil's tongues".
In the face of the high-temperature flames spewed by such tanks, the defenders everywhere had nothing to do. The soldiers who defended everywhere could only wait in despair for the chariot to be burned to ashes and unable to resist, no matter how sturdy the structure you hid in, you would still be killed. Under the cover of the lack of sufficient armored forces, there was simply nothing to take out such inhuman flame weapons. The huge pressure has kept the main militia force of the city defense on the verge of mental breakdown, and if it weren't for some veterans in the city to supervise the suppression of the formation, I am afraid that they would have been unable to stand this pressure and abandoned the city and fled.
When the defenders of various cities kept flashing on the tactical screen like snowflakes, Li Feng finally made a difficult decision in order to avoid greater civilian casualties and troop losses in various places. That is, all the direct forces surrounding the fortress were sent out to support. This kind of behavior is indeed a bit risky, but Li Feng is confident that with the solid defense system built around the fortress during this time, he can completely guarantee his actual safety. Moreover, the shield system and outer armor of the battleship are not so easy to break, and it is almost impossible to storm the fortress in a short time. Unless the opponent uses GDI's ion cannon array to continuously bombard or the NOD uses Tiberium missiles to induce a large explosion of surrounding ore, even if there are 10 million troops, they don't want to make a gap.
Soon, the arrival of this batch of elite reinforcements completely changed the unfavorable situation, under the cover of a large number of newly commissioned Black Dragon fighters and some of the unretired Divine Punishment fighters, the Spitfire tanks that had just been rampant were all blown into a flaming fireball by these warhawks in the sky, and the fuel they sputtered everywhere killed many friendly troops. With the desperate assistance of the shadow troops, the defenders in the city finally survived the darkest thirty minutes with the help of the city's perfect defensive weapon system, and waited for a large number of reinforcements to arrive.
A few hours later, when the fighting was finally won by the main forces coming back, the fierce street fighting destroyed most of the infrastructure that had been built, and the people suffered many casualties in the clashes. These sudden emergence of the mutant army had a great negative impact on the revival plan that Li Feng was implementing, and many of the construction achievements that had just been achieved were ruthlessly interrupted.
When Li Feng learned all this, he gritted his teeth in anger. I grossly underestimated the strength of mutants across the country and paid a heavy price! Originally, he thought that the frequent armed attacks of mutants in various places were just personal acts, but this great turmoil that affected the whole country completely changed Li Feng's cognition.
The mutants' act of dying soon paid off. Li Feng decided to face up to these opponents and treat them as GDI and nod forces. All forces were mobilized to detect it, so in the vast Yellow Zone of China, countless insect detection robots that have been adapted to the environment began to operate in full swing, while the entire Red Zone secretly borrowed GDI's spy satellites to conduct large-scale investigations. Psychic detection radars and agents from the newly established National Security Bureau in various parts of China have also joined in this massive intelligence-gathering operation.
Soon, countless important information was gathered in the headquarters of the National Security Bureau in Qinglong District, Baston City, and various information was sorted and analyzed, after three days of intensive collection. Li Feng finally figured out the general process of what happened, but what made him unacceptable was that the Mind Detection Radar, which had never missed, had a fatal mistake just when it should have played its role the most. Although Dr. Einstein, the perverted trio, had explained to Li Feng in detail the unpredictable interference of the Tiberium mine with this kind of equipment, Li Feng was still a little difficult to accept this fact for a while.
However, Li Feng was glad that this device was not useless, because its function of locking on suspects could still be used normally, and this also made him decide to give sufficient punishment to these shameless NOD agents for their various behaviors! Soon after, the arrogant agents were arrested by NSA agents in their respective hideouts, and those who tried to resist were killed red-handed by the shadow forces who came to assist in the resistance. And the results of the interrogation of these people made Li Feng feel quite speechless, and the truth is sometimes so ridiculous. It turns out that all this is just the personal behavior of these trapped Chinese agents, and their ultimate goal is nothing more than to use the chaos of mutants to send Huaguo's intelligence back to NOD's Asian headquarters in New Delhi. However, their original perfect plan was a complete failure because they overestimated the strength of the mutants and underestimated the speed of the opponent to quell the rebellion in various places.
Li Feng originally wanted to give these people a good time, but their self-motivated behavior completely changed his original decision. Death has forever become a luxury in these people's hearts, because those captured NOD agents will experience a nightmare experience of not being able to survive without dying! After all, the hundreds of thousands of tortures collected in Noah's database are not so easy to consume.
After solving the internal problems, Li Feng decided to take a special operation against the mutant who caused the incident. And the ultimate goal of this operation is to completely erase these mutated creatures from this planet forever, no matter what means are used, and not a single DNA fragment is allowed to be left!
