Chapter Eighty-Four: A Sharp Turn

What is this? What is this? What is this xx?

Shul felt that these three questions were the ones he thought about the most today.

Perhaps it's because the world's information transmission is so convenient that it can be retrieved at will from the control center of the main base at any time, so that Wei's memory bank does not have the details of the swarm, which leads to the mercenaries having to guess everything new. What the nest building does?I don't know, guess, how the bugs attack?I don't know, guess.

Like the new lair buildings in front of the convoy.

From a distance, it looked like a giant flower sticking to the ground, with four fleshy petals spread out on the ground, and a few thorns standing like stamens in the center of the flower, except for the occasional undulating and wriggling of the petals, it didn't seem to be anything special.

However, the explosion of the heavy truck made it clear that this thing is special.

Whenever the petals wriggle, the stamens will shrink, and at the same time, there will be a spiral-shaped spike protruding from the ground, which is extremely penetrating, and can penetrate the reinforced chassis of the truck with a single blow, and then pass through the roof of the car, I am afraid that even a tank will not be able to withstand it a few times.

The truck that Shul was stepping on exploded like this, his position was neither the first nor the last, and his truck was chosen, which means that this thing is completely different from the five-clawed spider, this thing can choose the target at will, and it does not automatically attack as soon as it enters the range of the enemy.

There is no doubt that this is certainly a defensive nest of bugs, like the guns on the Soulborne's turrets and human fortresses.

This is very troublesome, it is impossible to judge how far its attack range is, and it is impossible to confuse the enemy with unmanned tanks in exchange for time, and more importantly, this thing is not just one, but a pile, hundreds of meters away, every twenty or thirty meters, a flower is drilled out of the ground, and one stretches to the end of the field of vision. Glancing at the image that Wei transmitted, the giant flower had been stretching out at a high density for dozens of kilometers, forming an arc around the mother nest of the insects, like a city wall, cutting off the passage of the convoy.

Not only that, but there are also a lot of dots in the arc, plus the insects catching up from behind, the convoy can no longer break through as hard as before, and the remaining three kilometers are probably extremely difficult.

"Falling out is like me coming closer. When the truck exploded, Shul jumped out of the truck in time, and instead of rolling all over the ground like the others, he continued to swing his mace to smash several bugs that had approached from behind, and rushed into the crowd before he could get up.

"Be careful. As soon as he stood still, Shuer felt an obvious vibration under his feet, his face changed, and he grabbed the two people next to him and moved a few steps sideways, "Try to keep moving." ”

"Ah~~~" There was another scream, and a mercenary was pierced by spikes from his lower body to the top of his head, and before he even reacted to what was happening, he was already pierced on the spikes like a meat skewer, completely losing his vitality.

"Everyone, abandon the car. At this time, Xiuer was quite indifferent, indifferent to the mercenary's death, and even a little happy, because the mercenary's death allowed him to master a little of the giant flower's attack characteristics, "Concentrate on me, disperse the formation, Wei, pull the tank back." ”

After only a few seconds, the convoy had already driven dozens of meters, and when they heard Shuer's order, the high-ranking mercenaries were the first to jump out of the tank. On the surviving truck, the reaction of those passengers was much slower, after all, they had not experienced a battle, even with the urging of the mercenaries around them, the movements were still slow, so the explosion came again.

The spikes pierced the front of the second truck, but fortunately, the people in the car jumped out in time and did not repeat the mistakes of the first car, but lost the protection of the vehicle, and several ordinary people in the passengers behaved in a panic, only to run back in a daze surrounded by mercenaries.

"Blood and minced meat, that's right, that's it. ”

Both trucks were destroyed, and the protected ordinary people lost their last cover and means of transportation, and could only move forward on their legs, but Shul smiled instead, and even his voice became excited.

"Run, move back and forth left and right, never stay in the same position, Mia, Miriday, you two temporarily block the bugs behind you, Moria, Yuri, you two are responsible for the two sides, Fleison, there are bugs that come in, you deal with it as soon as possible, mercenaries, it's your turn, spread out a little, pick up your weapons, and help Moria and Yuri defend the sides." If you don't have combat power, help the wounded to disperse a little in the protective circle, remember to move at all times, and you will die when you stop. If there is a bug coming, don't wait for death stupidly, the weapon in your hand is prepared for this time, remember to shoot, and die with the bug. ”

"Okay, Wei, the tank gathers fire and blasts the flower right in front of you. Don't worry, its attack frequency is very slow, and in our position, only one can attack us, and at most we can lose one tank, and we can fight it out. The others hold their positions, Dark, Saph, and the bugs from the front will be handed over to you both, and I will be in the center, and the wounded will immediately warn you, and the Lord will take care of you. ”

Yes, Shuer has already determined, and now he has just entered the attack range of the nearest giant flower, and it has not overlapped with the attack range of other giant flowers, because when the mercenary was stabbed to death just now, Shuer had already noticed that the spikes were a little scorched, and the traces were still very new, which should have been left by the explosion of the truck.

Immediately, when the second truck was attacked, the spikes protruding from the ground were charred and covered with a layer of blood, and there were still a few strands of minced flesh, that is, these attacks were all launched by a spike. This is the best news, as long as it is not set on fire by seven or eight giant flowers around, there is still a chance to break through.

"Give me a good positional battle. Keeping moving left and right, Shueryang emitted a pure light with his hand, which did not have much effect, but could calm the spirits of most people, "Buy time for the tank." ”

Another piercing attack, one of the three surviving tanks had its chassis armor pierced, but fortunately it didn't hit the important parts, and it could barely function, but I'm afraid it would be difficult to withstand it again.

Fortunately, the other two tanks had already adjusted the direction of the battery, and with the loud sound of the ground shaking the mountain, a mushroom cloud rose from the position of the giant flower, and the smoke dissipated, and it could be seen that although the giant flower had not been destroyed, from all positions on the petals, there was green blood gushing out, and it seemed that the damage was not light, and it was already crumbling.

"Boom", the damaged tank was hit a second time, turning into a cloud of gunpowder smoke, until it exploded, and it didn't have time to make up for the giant flower. But it didn't matter anymore, as soon as the smoke cleared, a throwing spear had already passed through the space of hundreds of meters like lightning, and pierced deeply into the center of the giant flower. The giant flower was struck by lightning, and its whole body trembled violently, and a large amount of green slime erupted from the center of the flower, and after only a few seconds of struggle, the petals and stamens collapsed to the ground and remained motionless.

"Yo Yo, sure enough, this is a sensitive part, as soon as it is attacked, it will be ...... high"

"If the first step is successful, you can stop and stand still. Xiu'er decisively interrupted Lin Jing's energetic remarks in his busy schedule, "Wei, well done (eh, what about me), take advantage of the range advantage, clean up the giant flowers on the left and right sides, and the others hold on for a few more minutes, when you first arrived here, you lasted for more than an hour, but now it's only a few minutes, no problem." ”

In fact, it was completely different, at that time, there were only the lowest level of the earth insects in this world, and ordinary mercenaries could hold on for a long time, but now there are more than a dozen kinds of insects in the sky and on the ground, melee long-range, and three-dimensional attacks make it difficult for mercenaries to parry, even if there is the support of high-level mercenaries, and only one side, it is quite difficult.

What's more, there are also ultra-long-range strikes.

"No, I missed it. Shure's face changed drastically, and the battle was so fierce that he didn't notice that the map showed that there were several flying crabs floating in the sky more than two thousand meters away, and when he found this, the crabs were already close to two thousand five hundred meters, "Moria, shoot them down, Freisen, and make up for Moria's position together." ”

While commanding, Shul rushed to Moria's and Yuri's side, wielding a mace to fight the bugs in close quarters, praying in his heart that the Dark Moon would allow Moria's arrows to catch up in time.

Unfortunately, this prayer did not take effect, and Lin Jing's arrow accurately hit the crab in the distance, and a dozen points of light representing the crab disappeared on the map almost at the same time, but unfortunately, the ultra-long-range strike of the crabs had also arrived in front of them.

The ball of light compressed by the high concentration of energy accurately hit the last two tanks, and the heavy armor of the tank did not do anything for the energy ball, allowing the ball of light to quickly submerge into the cabin. Immediately, the energy exploded, and the furious energy directly detonated the tank's energy compartment and ammunition bay from the inside, and the high pressure and flames tore through the turret, turning the two tanks into two raging flames.

Everyone felt a little confused, the change came too fast, two minutes ago it was smooth, as if it could already touch the victory, but I didn't expect that within two minutes, everything took a sharp turn, not only did it lose the vehicle that represented the speed first, but now it didn't even have the last three tanks, and it could only use flesh and blood to struggle to survive in the swarm, and everything was just because of a small omission.

One wrong step, one wrong step, but not expecting the existence of the giant flower, led to a series of chain reactions later, and under the care of one or the other, he could only watch the last weapons of war destroyed, and it was too late to even stop it.

"I will guard this place, saith the Lord, and all those who have evil intentions shall quickly retreat. Shuer's mace smashed on the ground, a ball of divine energy erupted from his body, and the insects around him who took the opportunity to break into the defensive circle were all bounced away, although there was no lethality, but the defense effect was quite good, "What are you in a daze, it's less than three kilometers, can't you walk with your legs?" Continue to carry out the order, Saf, be careful behind your back. ”

"Ah~~~" A miserable scream, but it was not from Safu, the female swordsman with excellent hearing had already heard the existence of an enemy behind her, and moved a few steps sideways in time to let go of the sneak attack of the bugs. But a craftsman not far behind her was not so lucky, and the insects that couldn't sneak up on him knocked him to the ground by the way, and several of them used force at the same time, easily tearing the craftsman into several pieces.

Thick blood and warm guts sprayed out, and as soon as Saf turned around, he saw blood splattered all over the ground in front of him.
