"It looks like I'm going to congratulate you, in just one month, you're already a colonel." Chen Xiao looked at the two bars on Lin Qingfeng's shoulders and congratulated.

Lin Qingfeng also glanced at the rank on his shoulder, and said: "This thing is not very valuable now, a third-order awakened person, as long as he is willing to defect to the military, he is at least a major." ”

"However, their military rank is not comparable to that of an officer with an actual position like you, and it is not at the same level at all." Chen Xiao said.

"Indeed, the command of the army does not look at the strength of the individual, but the talent of the commander, so every awakened person who joins the army is only an honorary rank, and does not have any specific position."

Lin Qingfeng nodded, looked at the time and said, "Do you want to come to me to rest first." ”

Chen Xiao shook his head, looked at the city with tall buildings in the distance, and said, "I want to go inside." ”

"Then please be careful, don't go near the city square, the countdown to the nuclear strike has begun." Lin Qingfeng didn't hold back, and said, "Don't forget to come here and sit down when you have time." ”

"There's going to be a chance."

After bidding farewell to Lin Qingfeng, Chen Xiao continued to walk towards the city center, and the magically disappeared creatures made Ludao the quietest city at the moment.

A large number of trucks are still transporting supplies out of the island, moving along the main road, Chen Xiao can see a lot of automatic defense weapons and unmanned combat robots from time to time.

High in the sky, a large reconnaissance drone of the Thunder Dragon is always detecting all the movements in Egret Island.

At low altitudes, from time to time small unmanned tactical reconnaissance aircraft flew by, and the army had already taken Heron Island to every place. It's all under control.

And almost every rooftop. There are one or two snipers armed with anti-materiel sniper rifles. Between the floors, helicopters often fly by.

On the side of the road, you can also see a lot of geological exploration equipment personnel, conducting preliminary tests on the underground structure of Egret Island.

Entering the city, Chen Xiao felt more like an outsider, and the soldiers in each post performed their own duties and completed their tasks.

He's more of a spectator, and he is.

It is about a kilometer away from the city square. Chen Xiao was intercepted.

A row of armored vehicles and tanks were neatly parked on the side of the road, and tens of thousands of soldiers blocked off all the places a kilometer away from the center of the city square.

Walking here, Chen Xiao did not force to continue to advance, many of these blockade soldiers had already put on chemical protective clothing.

However, just as Chen Xiao was about to turn around and go back to find the best viewing spot, a colonel ran towards him. Saluted: "General Chen, I am the operational staff officer of the Seventh Armored Division. Our division commander invites you to come to the headquarters. ”

Chen Xiao thought for a while, did not refuse, nodded and said, "Lead the way." ”

"Okay, please come with me."

Under the leadership of the colonel, Chen Xiao soon came to this so-called command center, and this division-level command headquarters only has a few electronic communication vehicles and a command vehicle.

A major general, who was almost fifty years old, immediately walked over after seeing Chen Xiao and said excitedly: "General Chen, the contemptible Lin Guofu, I have always wanted to thank the general in person for saving more than 10,000 soldiers of my army. ”

"Senior Lin is too polite, that's what I should do, I don't know if Senior Lin came to me, what's the matter?" Chen Xiao also said politely.

"I took the liberty to invite General Chen over, first, I would like to thank General Chen in person for saving my whole division, and if General Chen needs help in the future, I, Lin Guofu and the officers and men of the whole division, will definitely not shirk a word.

Second, I hope that General Chen will help us depict the terrain below the city square as much as possible. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Guofu took Chen Xiao to the temporary command tent next to the command vehicle, and continued: "From yesterday to now, we have sent more than a dozen five-person reconnaissance equipment to the underground.

At the beginning, we posted at the bottom of the city square, there is a very deep crater, and through geological exploration equipment, it is expected that this deep pit is at least a thousand meters deep.

But every time our unmanned reconnaissance equipment tries to get close to a deep pit, it is destroyed......"

Before Lin Guofu finished speaking, Chen Xiao frowned and interjected: "You mean that under the subway station in the city square, there is a huge crater that is a thousand meters deep?" ”

"Yes, don't you know?" Lin Guofu asked.

"When I left the subway station, I didn't see the pit, I just felt a strong vibration on the ground." Chen Xiao said.

"At the beginning, we sent a few soldiers down, but we lost contact immediately, and then two more third-order awakened people went down, and they also lost contact in an instant. The drones did not find any clues about their disappearance. Lin Guofu said.

"Don't continue to send people down, as many people as you go are to deliver food." Chen Xiao shook his head and asked, "How are you sure that the big spider is in the deep pit?" ”

"Because we have searched the entire subway line with drones, and we have not found any trace of the big spider, only the deep pit remains." Lin Guofu explained.

"Have you found the missing banyan tree? Or something like a root. Chen Xiao asked.

"No, we originally came to you in the hope that you could provide more detailed information below, our troops have planted a sufficient number of high bombs on the ruins of the city square? medicine, open the ground and the place of the deep pit, and then the nuclear bomb will go deep into the deep pit and detonate. Lin Guofu said.

"I can't give you more information now, but I only hope that since we can go deep into the ground to detonate, then we don't need a high-yield nuclear bomb with greater lethality, just like an underground nuclear explosion, a depth of one thousand meters, there will not be too much nuclear radiation spread to the ground." Chen Xiao asked.

When Lin Guofu heard this, he shook his head very simply and said: "The underground nuclear explosion must be deep in the mountains, and the mountains themselves are used to dilute the power of the explosion. But this is only an island, less than ten kilometers in diameter, and if a hydrogen bomb explodes under Heron Island, the result will be no less than drilling a hole in the rock and blasting, and the whole city will be in ruins. ”

Chen Xiao didn't know about these twists and turns, and he was extremely suspicious at the moment that a neutron bomb with a yield of 1,000 tons would not be able to kill the Phantom Spider at all.

If Chen Xiaolai decided to use a superweapon, he would abandon the entire Egret Island and use a super-large yield nuclear bomb.

As for the sequelae, we will consider it when the human race continues.

However, Chen Xiao also knew that his thoughts were a bit extreme, and he only thought about killing the Phantom Spider and the Millennium Dryad, and did not consider the consequences of the explosion of a large-yield nuclear bomb.

Therefore, he can only hope that this neutron bomb can really kill the Phantom Spider.

Leaving the headquarters of the 7th Armored Division, Chen Xiao found a nearby building and went directly to the top of the building, overlooking the city square that had become ruins.

A deep hole in the center of the ruins of the city's factories was the place from which Chen Xiao remembered.

The Xianyue Road viaduct behind the city square still has traces left by him when he used a savage dash to escape.

Not far away, there was the scene of the battle between him and the Spider Phantom, and around the building, a large number of helicopter gunships had surrounded the city square.

A sniper and an observer on the roof of the building, after glancing at Chen Xiao, continued to lock and observe all corners around the city square.

The roof of the building was very empty, Chen Xiao looked at the time, and then found a shaded place to sit down and rest.

The two little loli sat quietly beside him, so that the panda seemed a little nervous, since approaching the city square, the little guy's paws have not been put away.

Chen Xiao stroked the soft fur on the panda's body, "Little guy, don't be nervous. ”

His reassurance had no effect, and the panda shook his head very humanely, still looking very vigilant.

It is also unknown if it is wary of the helicopters that are constantly hovering around, or the phantom spiders beneath the city square.

While waiting, time passed quickly, and the troops had begun to evacuate quickly, and in the sky, eight fighter-bombers were hovering over Heron Island.

Walking to the edge of the building, Chen Xiao looked at the time, and there were less than two minutes left in the time of the nuclear strike.

Around the city square, all the soldiers were also on standby, and their guns were unanimously aimed at the city square in front.

The originally peaceful city square suddenly heard a series of dense explosions, and the entire square was instantly covered by a large amount of explosion dust and smoke.

Chen Xiao, who was standing on the roof of the building, clearly felt that the building under his feet was shaking slightly under the explosion.

When the dust and smoke quickly dispersed in the sea breeze, the entire city square had completely collapsed, and a large pit with a diameter of one or two hundred meters appeared, and the ruins and cement floors on the ground all fell into the pit.

It's just that the building where Chen Xiao is located is not very high, and he can't see the so-called deep pit in the big pit.

However, as soon as the smoke of the explosion cleared, Chen Xiao immediately smelled a strong smell of blood and rancidity.

The smell officially came from the pit, and the next second his ears heard a dense buzzing sound, the sound of high-amplitude wings flapping into the air, even drowning out the sound of a helicopter.

On the pit, a large number of black shadows flew out quickly and rushed towards the surrounding army.

A flying army of self-exploding spiders.

At the same time, all the soldiers and combat weapons opened fire almost simultaneously, and a dense burst of fire and bullets shot down the flying spiders in patches.

Chen Xiao decisively untied his backpack and stood directly on the edge of the roof, and a large wall of fire directly blocked the surrounding area of the pothole.

Xiao Ai made a move, and together with the two levels of the wall of fire, a large number of self-exploding spiders just flew out of the pit, and they were instantly burned to ashes by the wall of fire. (To be continued......)
