Zhang Shengfei is no stranger to this scene.

He saw it in the video of the battle on the Lujiang River forwarded by the military headquarters, the scene was magnificent and magnificent, the momentum was amazing, there was a kind of despair in the face of the earthquake and mudslide, and there was even more tension in holding on to his heart and almost unable to breathe.

Bombs were constantly being detonated, the sound of "boom" was muffled by the dull roar of the building collapsing, and countless cement slabs flew through the air, and the dust and mist mixed with fragments of masonry obscured the view, engulfing the large number of mutated creatures that could not be avoided.

However, in the dense rain of debris, a staggering number of humanoids and bloody corpses still burst out. They move with a breezy and strange movement, unaffected by the pain of injury, completely dominated by the intense fear of predators deep in their brains, and rush to the highway in spite of everything.

Zhang Shengfei's face suddenly wrinkled, as if he had just sucked an extremely sour lemon.

"Too much, too much......"

He pondered nervously in his heart, still maintaining a cold and calm appearance.

Tactics still follow the model of the Battle of Lujiang. However, the mutated creatures protruding from the collapse trap of the building far exceeded the video sent by the military headquarters. They were massively filled with fragments of masonry, but more monsters kept emerging from the dust, and the dense frenzy was simply not in sight. Even at a command post, far from the battlefield, you can still feel a strong vibration coming from the ground.

The irritability that has continued since last night has turned into a fear that cannot be explained in words, firmly occupying Zhang Shengfei's brain.

They're still rushing.

Countless mutated creatures quickly entered the reserved highway main road, converging into three gray and red tides, and under the cover of dust, they rushed towards the human positions outside the city. They are so numerous because the pollution from trampling lingers over the city for a long time. A few kilometers away, people can already smell the stench of garbage and excrement, as well as the pungent dust and various unknown smells that irritate the nasal passages.

"Detonate ————"

The first section of the five-hundred-metre-long street was quickly filled. With the order of the regional commander, the preset directional mine exploded in the direction of the street. Flying metal fragments whizzed into mutated creatures, piercing through skin, slicing muscles, and flying through the air with blood and feces until they ran out of power. Firmly attached to a wall, to the ground, or to a monster, this is what accomplishes its mission and becomes a spectator of a bitter war.

Mutated creatures don't seem to be aware of the concept of "death". In an instant, they had filled the 500-meter gap that the explosion trap had just weaved, and rushed towards the next section of the street. Countless legs and feet trampled on the corpses, and the seriously injured and dying monsters were quickly trampled into flesh. At such times, it is impossible to tell what is the same kind? What is Fear? There is only one voice in their heads———— far away from here, away from the predators they will never be able to fight.

Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4......

The sound of explosions kept coming, and waves of air and metal fragments reaped life with impunity. Cement shards and masonry are covered in a thick layer of mutant biological flesh. They weave through the rebar-lined ruins without pausing for a second, like a bunch of machines that are not afraid of death and never know how to get tired.

Looking at the information transmitted by the helicopter on the screen, Zhang Shengfei's face gradually turned pale. He pursed his lips, his hands behind his back, his nails digging into his flesh. The wrinkled eyes narrowed more and more, and fear and regret flickered in the depths of the pupils.

As the commander of the group army, Zhang Shengfei's ability to perceive the progress of the battle was sharper than that of ordinary officers

There is a basic premise for the success of the Hefei Campaign. That is, there must not be many mutated creatures affected by pheromones, and it must be limited to about 30% of the total number in the city. Based on the data transmitted back from the satellite remote sensing map, it is about one million heads.

Su Hao's objection is not unreasonable. The terrain, as well as the capacity of roads and spaces, were indeed the key factors that determined the outcome of the campaign.

Six helicopters have been controlling the direction of the wind, causing pheromones to float in the direction of positions outside the city. Today was definitely a good day, there was no natural wind, no cold and humid air currents, and the control of gas drift was firmly controlled, and it did not deviate from the battle plan in the slightest.

However, the number of mutated creatures that rushed out of the city was far from unexpected.

From the depths of the dust fog that enveloped the city, a steady stream of dense creature frenzy was still emerging. They are not affected by the fact that the pheromones do not drift towards their position, but follow the footsteps of their counterparts in the early stage, constantly replenishing the force of this powerful tide.

The terrified faces of the helicopter division appeared on the surveillance screen.

"In the ground command center, the situation is changing. All mutated creatures in the opposite direction are moving in the direction of the ambush. They, there are just too many of them. ”

Zhang Wen was already frowning, he strode to the front of the screen, grabbed the intercom, and roared repeatedly: "Why don't you control the direction of the wind?" That's your task, it's your mission. Immediately increase the wind speed to promote the spread of pheromones to the periphery of the city. Be quick ————"

"We've been following the plan"

In the microphone, the restless voice of the helicopter captain came: "The current situation is completely beyond expectations, and the monster population in the opposite direction that has not been affected by pheromones has also begun to move. Note that it's the opposite direction. They seem to have some kind of communication with each other that we don't know how to communicate, and they don't need pheromone drives to guide each other...... Damn it...... They're all moving, they're all moving———— oh my God, this is horrible————"

Zhang Wen stared at the screen angrily and shouted into the microphone: "Control the wind direction, you must control the wind direction———

There were many waves of images on the screen, and the signal became disorganized. The helicopter division's voice came from the intercom.

"We ...... We've been in control, but it's not working. They've all been ...... Start moving. It's just too much. Which bastard came up with the plan? You guys...... You don't know anything about them...... I can't stop it at all. Oh my God, this is the end of the world...... command center, immediately ordered everyone to retreat...... Retreat quickly......"

"A bunch of cowards ————"

Zhang Wen's head was covered with green tendons, and he roared viciously, and due to the excessive force, the microphone was crumpled into pieces in his hand.

Behind him, a group of onlookers all looked grim, fearful, shocked, nervous and flustered.

According to the experience of the battle on the Lujiang River, the three main traffic points on the road were divided into 10 sections, ranging from 500 meters to 2,000 meters. Now that they have detonated to Stages 7, 8, and 7, the swarming biofrenzy shows no signs of being curbed. The blood and minced flesh that permeated the air stimulated their nerves, and the looming pheromones remained a source of fear. The only thing they can do is run as fast as they can, desperately rushing forward, and any obstacle that dares to stand in their way will be crushed.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Commander Zhang Shengfei.

He was the highest-ranking man here and the staunchest supporter of the Battle of Hefei.

Zhang Shengfei felt that the muscles all over his body had become tense, and his face maintained a cold expression that was almost stiff.

No one saw that his hands behind his back were shaking all the time. Firmly locked in his face with great self-control, and the fear that was thus covered by his teeth clenched with his teeth, it seemed to others to be only the calmness of the Supreme Commander in a chaotic situation.

"Don't panic ————"

Zhang Shengfei tried to make his tone sound calm and powerful, he strode to the screen, and quickly issued a series of orders in an orderly manner.

"All laser generators are aimed in the direction of the road and are ready to fire at any time."

"The electromagnetic gun unit is kept preheated, and the energy supply must be stable."

"The firing range of each machine gun and combined machine gun position remains the same, once those monsters break through the road, immediately block them with dense strafing ————"

With the blasting of the last stages on the three highways, the bloodshed and death of the creature frenzy is finally contained. The distance to the back of the 1,500 meters outside the city was completely filled with the corpses of mutated creatures with blurred flesh and blood. Scattered guts and minced flesh were everywhere, severed limbs and mutilated organs flying apart and hanging from the walls and windows on both sides of the street. The air was completely filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, and only the wails of the mouths of the countless monsters could be heard in the ears.

The ground shook all the time. It was tens of thousands of mutated creatures running. They convey messages in ways that are unique to the population, and the diffuse pheromones make fear perceived by more monsters. Humanoids and bloody corpses of all forms rushed out in horror, completely abandoning their former lair. Instinct told them that predators could come at any time, and no one dared to stay in the city for even a second. Sensing danger, they flee at the highest speed they can reach.

More than a million mutated creatures of all sizes rushed out of the highway like a heavy carpet moving rapidly in the dust. Desperate for their physical strength, they fled among the corpses and flesh of their companions. The street, which had been silent for less than two minutes, was filled up again, and the street tens of meters wide was full of monsters rushing forward. There were so many of them that even the grains of sand on the surface of the reinforced concrete fortifications, hundreds of meters away, were shaken off

"Hold on, don't panic, they're just a bunch of monsters, our enemies————"

A captain in command of the position, clung to his assault rifle and roared at the maximum volume he could reach. He wondered how much effect his actions could have. But no matter what, I have to do something. Otherwise, those soldiers with pale faces are likely to simply throw down their weapons and turn around and flee from their positions.

The mutant horde was as dark as a mountain.

"Shooting ————"

The captain's order was issued almost simultaneously with the gunshots. The muzzle of the quadruple multi-barreled machine spewed tongues of fire, making an extremely rough sound. As many as 100 positions, more than 130 guard towers opened fire at the same time, and a dense and blazing rain of bullets blocked three roads at the same time. The large-caliber direct-aim guns, located at the rear of the position, constantly spat flames and fired shells with sharp whistling. This improved grenade reduces the amount of explosives reloaded, but adds a special warhead with metal fragmentation. Once exploded, it can spread to a radius of 50 meters.

The mutant creature that rushed to the front was caught off guard and was hit upside down and flew back on the spot. Their bodies became the most bullet-hit obstacles, followed by humanoids and bloody corpses. In a moment, with a huge inertia and impact, he lifted the corpse of his companion high and threw it aside from above, or stepped directly on his feet, fearless to meet the oncoming bullets.

"———— Moist"

A thick and dazzling white light emitted from behind the array outside the city, like a terrifying dragon of light, and disappeared at the end of the distant city in an instant.

It is a high-energy laser for war.

The power of this energy weapon was extremely powerful, and its launch power far exceeded that of the alert device that Su Hao had seen in Xu Renjie's office. The launch point set on the ground is rotated at an angle of 15 degrees directly ahead, forming a sector that expands from near to far. The intense heat energy penetrates the house, cutting all obstacles in half. The whole biological frenzy seemed to be cut from the middle by an invisible thread, and countless humanoids and bloody corpses fell one after another, waist, legs, shoulders, and abdomen...... They don't understand why their bodies suddenly disconnect? Loss of control of legs, feet and arms in an instant? It was just a dazzling light, and he was instantly incapacitated.

What, exactly, is this for?

A large triangular black shadow slowly appeared in the sky. It was a large AWACS aircraft sent by the Air Force. It is responsible for liaison, command, monitoring the battlefield with all helicopters, transmitting all changes to the ground command center.

"The No. 1 to No. 3 laser generators have been fired, and the range of waves and the depth of the light source are being counted, and the visual results are about 120,000 to 150,000."

The atmosphere in the command post was no longer as dull as it had just been. The on-board computer on the AWACS aircraft is calculating various combat data, and there will certainly be a gap between visual inspection and reality, but in the eyes of people who are desperate for victory, they have subconsciously regarded the actual results as the maximum number.

"That's right, I knew it was going to be like that. The laser generator is suitable only for defense and only for use in dense and narrow areas. Those monsters are dead, they are no match at all, we can win————"

"The logistics support team was ordered to replace the coils and related parts immediately, and the energy supply department quickly inspected the parts to ensure that the second launch was carried out as soon as possible."

"We must strengthen our defenses, especially the machine gun positions at the front, and we must not let go of any mutated creatures. Their strengths lie in speed and melee combat, and as long as we maintain that pace of combat, we can win them. ”

One order after another was quickly issued, and the officers in the command post began to get busy. Because the sense of crisis generated by pheromones has long since disappeared, when the fear and shock disappear from the brain, of course, the next steps of the plan should be carried out step by step.

Zhang Shengfei was still standing, staring at the screen with flickering eyes.

The power of the combat laser generator is indeed amazing, but it is not beyond imagination. As a matter of fact, these new weapons, which have integrated the scientific and technological strength of mankind, were an important weight for Zhang Shengfei to agree to implement the Hefei campaign plan. He wanted to get merit, but he wasn't stupid. Especially in judging the strength of his own combat power, Zhang Shengfei is very self-aware.

He frowned tightly.

The effect of using the laser is not much different from what is expected. However, in terms of the specific time, it was a little earlier than Zhang Shengfei expected.

The best time to fire lasers should be in the mid-to-late stages of the campaign.

The mutated hordes on the screen were still storming the defenses, swarming around the three highways, smeared in bright red with blood and shredded flesh. The power of the laser had no effect on them, and the death of hundreds of thousands of of their own kind seemed to stimulate their desire to run wildly even more.

Although the mass production of high-power laser generators has begun, they are equipped with troops of various army levels. However, its disadvantages and advantages are equally obvious———— it is bulky and difficult to transport. Due to the fact that the coil and light transmitter are not very heat-resistant, the accessories must be replaced in time for each shot. Otherwise, an explosion will occur due to the current being blocked. Even with the best crews, the interval between firing takes at least twenty minutes, and the maximum strafing range cannot exceed a fifteen-degree angle.

The rapidly changing situation on the battlefield constantly stimulated Zhang Shengfei's brain. He felt his heart beat hard, and the blood flow was getting closer to the limit of what he could handle. He wanted to find a chair to sit on, but reason told him that he couldn't———— he had to stand here and act as a benchmark of confidence for all until there was a decisive change in the outcome of the battlefield.

Helicopter footage captures a shadow moving at high speed.

No, not one, but a group.

They were dull in color, like dozens of gray air currents, running at high speed between houses and buildings, constantly changing directions, nimbly bypassing various obstacles, and swooping towards the positions outside the city.

"What the hell is that?"

A colonel's staff officer was keenly aware of the problem, and hurriedly grabbed the microphone and ordered the helicopter loudly: "Increase the speed of the camera following, immediately use the computer to analyze the picture, and the machine gun positions in the corresponding direction are blocked with crossfire, and they must not be allowed to break into the ————."

The operator's fingers are nimbly tapping on the keypad. A few seconds later, as the frame rate of the footage increases, a cat-like humanoid with a head covered in fluff and a tail extending from the hips, with sharp teeth and sharp claws, appears on the screen.

In the lower right corner of the image, the computer is constantly measuring the running speed of the cat-like humanoid based on the lens data. In the end, the words "150-180 km/h" were displayed.

It's the equivalent of a sedan running wild on the highway.

This is not the limit of the catman's movement in a straight line, but the result of constantly detouring, detouring, and climbing in buildings, laneways, and obstacles.

A pair of eyes converged on the screen, and people's faces, which had just shown a little relaxed and smiling, became solemn again.
