Chapter 102: Heaven, Earth, and Ground (1)

As soon as the army entered the bloodletting area, only twenty kilometers later, the induction from the Level 4 Awakened was increasing.

Lin Feng took the initiative to perceive it, with his car as the center, within a radius of more than 20 kilometers, the number of fourth-level awakeners exceeded twenty, which was a rather terrifying number, and correspondingly, none of the defective-level awakeners had been discovered.

Task Force 77 is a mechanized unit with large tanks and other tracked vehicles making deafening noises as they move on the road. With the ears of the Awakened, it can be heard within ten kilometers. Before the appearance of the fourth-level awakened, the appearance of the tank will only lead to two results, either the well-behaved awakened person knows that he is invincible and retreats without a fight, and takes the initiative to flee from the desert; Either they encounter an awakened person who has never seen the powerful "stunned green" type of mechanical troops, and launch a suicide attack desperately.

But after the Awakened evolved to level four, they had a qualitative leap in strength and tactics. A large number of Level 2 and Level 3 Awakened Ones, led by the leaders of Level 4 and the Awakened Ones, formed a group of twenty to thirty heads, and roamed around the task force like wolves. From their way of acting, Lin Feng came to a conclusion: the Awakened can think, and they know how to learn lessons and sum up experience. The group of Awoken who were hanging around the army would always maintain a distance of about six to seven kilometers from the military convoy.

During this time, Lin Feng conducted an experiment, and at his request, the bicycle artillery of the accompanying army fired several salleys at the two groups of awakened people hanging around, and the 152 mm shells severely damaged the two groups. When shelled, the remnants of the two groups of Awakened quickly retreated, but soon the survivors returned to their original positions and devoured the corpses of their comrades killed by the shelling. Not only them, but some of the other Awakened who were wandering around also took advantage of the rush to get a piece of the pie.

Then, Lin Feng ordered the shelling again. The heavy artillery tore more second- and third-level awakened people, but the consequence was that more awakened people moved closer to the shelled location. What made Lin Feng sigh even more. This time, the Awoken were all hiding about a thousand to two kilometers away from the shelled site, hovering forward. But after the convoy drove away and traveled some distance. They immediately swarmed and devoured the corpses at the site of the shelling.

When Lin Feng reported the scene he had perceived, both the brigade commander Shi Lei and Ouyang Hua in the command center gasped at the same time. Humanity understands the Awoken in warfare, and in the same way that the Awoken quickly adapt to the way humans fight. After all, the Awakened are also mutated from humans, and they also know how to learn from their experiences and learn from them, even if this is only unconscious.

When the convoy drove to Changtai City, there were still 18 kilometers away. The entire convoy stopped at Lin Feng's request. Although the 77th Brigade is under the direct command of Brigade Commander Shi Lei, all his orders are subject to the information provided by the strongest "humanoid radar" in the unit.

Lin Feng left the armored command vehicle and used active perception to probe the surroundings again. Not only did the Awoken get stronger. Intelligence was also rising, and Lin Feng didn't dare to take it lightly. Now at this distance, Changtai City is within his active perception distance. The convoy stopped to gather intelligence in advance in order to prepare for the upcoming battle in the city.

When Lin Feng started active scanning again, he was very depressed and found something. The guy who had just feasted on the corpses of the awakened who had been killed in the shelling area was now following up again. Lin Feng is not the only perceiver in the 77th Brigade, Lin Feng's "student" Luo Yulan is also in the team, but her position is at the end of the team. In addition, there are three other Sentiencers in other positions of the task force in this marching state.

Being in the army, Lin Feng felt more and more the insignificance of his personal strength. Especially now, when the big corps is doing war, this feeling is even stronger. When Lin Feng began to scan the situation in Changtai City, the other perceivers also commanded the artillery fire according to the request of the brigade commander Shi Lei, and carried out a shocking artillery bombardment on the awakened group hovering around the convoy.

In the past, the awakened who were beaten either scattered and fled or attacked with their lives, but now they are all obedient, and as soon as they are shelled, they take the initiative to retreat, widen the distance, and "smartly" "summarize" that they will retreat one or two thousand more and continue to play the tail hanging tactic. Fortunately, the heavy artillery carried by the task force has a long firing range, and no matter how much they play with the "hanging tail", it is within the firing range of the artillery. It's just that to the shock of the perceivers in the army, the awakened have even learned to dodge howitzer shells!

When a grenade from nine kilometers away landed with a sharp whistling sound, they knew how to judge the distance of the landing point based on the whistling sound of the shell, and then made the action of running to escape.

What is even more shocking than this is that it was discovered when Lin Feng scanned Changtai Town.

Changtai Town is a small town, and the resident population before the disaster was only more than 20,000 people, and now the number of awakened people in the town is not too many, and there are only three powerful fourth-level awakened people on the ground. But what really gave Lin Feng a headache and shock was not on the ground of the town, but underground.

The entire underground of the town is now dug into a labyrinth of tunnels. From the excavation skills, Lin Feng could easily judge that this was the masterpiece of the earthworm people. As for how many awakened people were hidden underground, because the distance was too far and it was disturbed by the soil layer, Lin Feng couldn't tell.

Soon this information was sent back to the command center, and Lin Feng's opinion was also attached to it.

"The entire underground of the town has been dug like a labyrinth by the snakenecks, and it is quite troublesome to take out these guys hiding underground, and more importantly, if you want to garrison here, these underground tunnels may become a dead hole when defending."

The implication is that the town is not worth taking. Lin Feng's opinion, brigade commander Shi Lei also agreed, but the command center's reply was a sentence that could not be questioned.

"Continue on the mission, at all costs, take Changtai before dark, and clean up all the earthworm people!"

For this kind of army-style tough instructions, Lin Feng had long been numb.

And Brigade Commander Shi, who was known as Old Man Ouyang's protégé, said in the communicator: "The task is very difficult, but we must work hard to complete it!" ”

When there was still a distance of 10 kilometers from Changtai Town, the convoy that had originally formed a long serpentine shape on the highway changed its marching state, and all the tracked vehicles left the highway and entered the fields on both sides of the road, and then all the vehicles maintained a box-like defensive formation, and slowly advanced towards Changtai Town at a rate of 40 kilometers per hour.

When the forward troops advanced to a distance of four kilometers from Changtai, according to Lin Feng's opinion, the troops came down, and then arranged artillery positions on the spot, making preparations for the integration of attack and defense.

The Awakened who were following the 77th Brigade were still hanging like wolves in the distance, only this time they "cleverly" pulled the distance of the tail to a distance of twelve kilometers - of course, this was still within the range of heavy artillery.

The Awakened's tactics of attacking and not attacking, retreating and not retreating, sticking like kraft candy made Lin Feng feel an unusually headache. Although the number of Awakened in Changtai Town is not large, it is quite troublesome to clean up. With so many dangerous fourth-level awakened people scattered on the side, the seemingly powerful 77th Brigade is actually in a very bad situation on the battlefield.

As for what Shi Lei said to his subordinate commanders, there is not even a shadow of reinforcements from other troops. Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't participate in that secret meeting, and he didn't know about it, otherwise he would definitely be so angry that he would have stomped his feet at this moment.

When the 77th Brigade approached Changtai Town, the awakened people in the town were already in a commotion. Although there were fourth-level awakened people among them, during the period before they evolved to the fourth level, the awakened people in the bloodletting area actually lived a miserable life: the plane bombed in the sky, the mechanized troops on the ground surrounded and suppressed, and almost every awakened person who had dealt with the human army left a serious "psychological shadow" - the specific manifestation was that the awakened people in the town had an uneasy commotion, although they did not flee the town immediately, but the chaotic scene of those awakened in the town, the uneasiness of the fourth-level awakened, It was really difficult for Lin Feng to compare it with the similar kind that appeared in San Francisco and still fought bravely under the wash of countless artillery fire.

The Awakened are obviously a kind of creature that is very good at good luck and avoid evil, even their own kind will eat, and if they are extremely hungry, they should find a kind of kind that is easier to attack, and it is obviously not in their nature to forcibly attack the well-defended fortress cities of the human race. The life magnetic field of the fourth-level awakened in Changtai Town fluctuated in a panic after hearing the roar of the tank tracks, which illustrates this very well. 、

The only explanation Lin Feng could think of was that the reason why the fourth-level awakened people he had encountered in the past were extremely heroic was because there were more intelligent and advanced awakened leaders who were commanding and manipulating them, such as the five-thunder level beasts he had encountered.

However, the awakened people on the ground are very sloppy, and the earthworm people located underground are ready to move.

When the vanguard of the 77th Brigade reached a distance of ten kilometers from Changtai, these awakened people hiding underground sensed something strange from the shaking of the earth. Then, the earthworm people in the entire town began to act at this moment.

Together, they rushed in the direction where the 77 Brigade was coming, and then frantically made holes in the ground. Situationally, they intended to hide underground, and when the human army passed through the surface, they would suddenly burst out and attack.

It's just that the seemingly "smart" approach of the awakened person quickly turned into a funny game when he met Lin Feng, the perceiver.

The earthworm man's approach seemed very funny, but the overall situation of the entire battlefield, Lin Feng couldn't laugh at all.

Just as the 77th Brigade was deploying its troops and making final preparations before the battle, Lin Feng felt a large number of birdmen flying in the direction where the 77th Brigade was located.
