"Boom!"

A huge and strange mushroom cloud suddenly rose, and the billowing golden fireworks instantly engulfed the daredevil-like battleship hovering at an altitude of a thousand meters. Several escape pods that had just flown not far from the battleship were not spared and were pulled into the terrifying black cloud that symbolized death.

"Buzz......" Half of the battleship, which was almost directly destroyed, slowly fell to the ground with an earth-shattering roar, until the entire hull was completely swallowed up by the slowly growing mushroom cloud.

This incomparably spectacular and tragic picture is naturally and clearly presented on the holographic command platform in the flagship command center high in the sky. The generals of the Imperial Army gathered around the command platform were silent for a while.

"Decree to award the title of Hero of the Empire to the officers and soldiers who were unfortunately martyred during the second bombing mission! All the officers and soldiers who died were promoted to the third rank and their families were given triple pensions! After a moment of silence, Mikay, who was the supreme commander of the battleship, commanded the adjutant beside him in a deep voice.

In order to be able to launch a secondary bombardment with precision, there were at least dozens of necessary operational officers on the battleship that carried out the death-defying mission. Only through manual operation can the target area be accurately locked, and the nuclear main artillery shell can be accurately smashed into the sinkhole, which is almost the size of a grain of rice when viewed from the sky. And after launching the main artillery bombardment, the battleship simply did not have time and could not escape the killing range of the blast wave before the power system was restored.

It can be said that this is a battleship that is bound to die for this mission. And the heroic officers and men on the ship are almost no different from the death squad in the ordinary sense. As long as they saw those escape pods being swallowed up in an instant by the churning mushroom cloud, everyone knew that the chance of them surviving was almost zero.

"Lao Mi, do you think we still have to send someone to search the battlefield again?" Looking at the mushroom cloud churning happily, Tong Zhong smiled bitterly and asked Mi Kai, "In this case, whether it is people or stones in the target area, I am afraid that they will all have to turn into ashes!" ”

"I don't think it's necessary!" Mi Kai smiled helplessly, symbolically pointed to the top of his head and said: "However, that guy is still staring there, if he doesn't make a show, I'm afraid he will still say a few words to you and me in front of the Führer!" ”

"Hey, hey! All right! When the mushroom cloud clears, you can throw down the bullshit special forces he brought! I don't believe it, what else can they get out of the dirt! Tong Zhong sighed lightly as if relieved, turned back to his adjutant and commanded loudly: "Order all departments, rest in place for the night!" Wait until tomorrow dawn, and then go clean up the remnants of the insects! ”

"Yes, General!"

In the adjutant's loud reply, Mi Kai shook his head with a wry smile, and simply turned around to follow Tong Zhong, who was about to leave the command center, while shouting: "Hey, old boy, I still have two bottles of fine Vickers wine there, do you want to have a glass!" ”

……

At night, the gunfire of the entire mountain battlefield finally fell silent. In the air filled with the thick smell of gunsmoke, in addition to the smell of blood wafting in the wind, one or two angry howls of insects could be faintly heard.

The sinkhole, which had been bombed twice, had been transformed into a huge and terrible horn shape, as if forming a large man-made valley. It's just that all that can be seen in this valley is the boundless layer of scorched black soil, and even the scorched black wreckage that can be seen everywhere on the battlefield cannot be seen.

Several landing ships slowly descended with bright searchlights, and a group of Imperial Guard special operators wearing special combat armor silently drove out of the cabin and stepped on this valley of death where there would never be a trace of life again.

"Attention squads, unfold in battle formation! Search along the perimeter to the central area, be sure to double-check all the areas you pass through, and report any anomalies to me immediately! ”

A special operations officer who looked like a captain gave a deep order into the communication headset.

"Captain, do you think we can find anything here?" One of the team members glanced at the blackened soil at his feet with a tactical spotlight from an assault rifle and asked the question that almost all of the team members wanted to ask.

Can survive the bombardment of the battleship's nuclear main guns? It's a joke at all! All the team members involved in the operation almost had the mentality of coming here to hang around and then easily go back to sleep. No one would be stupid enough to find anything here. Of course, maybe they'll be able to bump into one or two ghostly ghosts.

"Shut your foul mouth, soldier! Just execute the order! Although he scolded his subordinates like this, the captain obviously thought in his heart that letting their elite special combat team carry out such a corpse collection operation was completely an act of taking off their pants and farting.

After complaining and laughing at each other, one by one the special operations teams began to honestly search and advance along the periphery of the giant artificial valley formed by the secondary bombing, little by little. Their task was to carefully search the entire area before dawn. Of course, the well-equipped Imperial Special Operations Team has assigned a Life Searcher to each team carrying out a search mission to detect areas within a radius of twenty meters and within ten meters below the soil layer.

"Hey, Captain, come and see!" In a certain team, a member of the team holding the life searcher suddenly stopped and shouted in a low voice.

"What's going on? Don't tell Lao Tzu, you found a ghost! The squad leader, who was carrying a rifle diagonally, staggered over.

"Captain, there's a faint life signal here! You see! The team member pointed to a small spot of light on the life searcher and shouted with wide eyes.

"Isn't it?" The team leader leaned over with an incredulous face, looked at it, pouted and said, "Will this broken instrument fail?" How is it possible that something will survive? ”

As he spoke, the team leader snatched the life searcher in the player's hand and patted it vigorously. On the holographic fluorescent screen, the flickering point of light first disappeared suddenly, and then slowly emerged, although it was not very clear, but it was very obvious.

"Captain, do you want to report to the captain?" The team member pointed to the spot of light and asked cautiously.

"Report the fart! It's hard to know if this broken instrument is malfunctioning, don't be fucking surprised, make it look like a girl, let the other squads see the jokes, you captain and I can't hold my head up! The team leader slapped the life searcher in his hand a few more times.

The point of light still flickered and reappeared.

"Five, six, you two search the area in the direction of eleven o'clock ahead, within twenty meters! Others are ready to take cover! The team leader's heart finally jumped, frowned and groaned slightly, and hurriedly made a gesture and ordered categorically.

The two team members stepped forward quickly, rushed to the area mentioned by the squad leader, turned on the tactical spotlights on the armor, and then combined with the bright spotlights of the rifles in their hands, and carefully checked back and forth several times, but they didn't find even a single clue. Even, the two of them used a steel dagger to dig hard for a long time in the place where the life searcher whined, but they didn't find anything.

"I'm X, it can't be an ant this time, right?" At this time, a member of the team inadvertently raised the rifle in his hand, and suddenly found a giant ant with a length of one centimeter crawling in the soil under the bright spotlight.

"Uncle, it's not going to be a high-tech thing! Even a small ant can find it! The squad leader suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, put away the loaded rifle, pouted and shouted, "Okay, don't be nervous!" Damn, I'm really shocked by this broken instrument! Let's go, continue to search, before dawn, hurry up and complete the task and go back to drink some wine and sleep! ”

"This ant is really bull X, even the nuclear energy main cannon can't kill it!" The soldier holding the life searcher shook his head and complained, and hurriedly turned around and quickly followed the other teammates.

However, these special operators had just walked out not far away. Where the strange ant crawled, the scorched black soil suddenly loosened, and a large hand that was also black and swarthy pierced through the soil layer violently......
