Chapter 196: Misfortune Leads to the East
In one day and one night, the mobile base spanned 600 kilometers, and there was really no big beast tide.
It's not that Chu Jungui trusts Xiao Kai much, but relying on the firepower of the mobile base, coupled with the firepower of dozens of modified large engineering vehicles, even if he encounters an A-level beast tide, he can run while fighting and slowly get out. With the certainty of self-preservation, only then can we have the confidence to take risks.
At this time, Planet 4 is gradually ushering in a new dawn, and at the end of the horizon, the outer outline of a base has already faintly appeared.
Chu Jungui did not approach rashly, but called Kaitian and asked him to explain to the few messengers he had caught along the way. The messengers flew into the sky, two of them heading for the fortress and several for the periphery.
Moments later, the two messengers circled the fortress and had returned. They were hung with miniature reconnaissance instruments, and according to the images taken, Lin Xi, who was proficient in the construction of the fortress, quickly found most of the potential firepower points and defense facilities, and Chu Jungui silently calculated the coordinates.
Xiao Kai was originally only in charge of command and translation, after all, the messenger often spoke without words, but after reading the aerial photo, it actually gave the coordinates. The coordinate system is the same as Chu Jungui, which is based on the current location of the mobile base, and the accuracy is actually quite excellent.
Chu Jungui knew that Le Mans had been teaching Xiaokai the basic scientific knowledge of human beings, but he didn't expect it to learn so quickly. It's only been a few days?
Even more amazing was yet to come, as smoke and dust rose from the horizon in the distance, and a herd of beasts appeared, fiercely pounced on the Pirate Banner Fortress!
This is the outgoing courier who gathers all the small herds of beasts encountered in the vicinity and merges them into a horde of beasts before attacking the Pirate Banner Fortress.
On the walls of the fortress, two warriors sitting in the turret control station observed the surroundings while chatting boringly in the internal channel.
"This hellish place, you can't talk to a few more people! The range of the internal channel is said to be 500 meters, but in fact it is only 50 meters at most, and out of this range, you can't even hear what you say. ”
"I've heard that I've called several times to report better internal communication equipment, but they've all been pressed by those above, and they haven't been shipped down until now. ”
"Why doesn't Old Mock speak? The three of us can talk in this channel. ”
Old Mok's voice sounded in the channel: "Concentrate on staring outside, what is there to talk about? Now there are only more than 700 people in the fortress, don't you keep your eyes open and wait for death?"
"Don't be so nervous! I've heard that there is a new study above, and the conclusion is that there is a limit to the beast tides, and that they are selective in their targets. Don't look at the Doomsday Shadow Fortress with a lot of people, just because they have a lot of people, they are the first target of the beast tide. It's so calm on our side, I guess most of the beast tide has gone to the Shadow of Doom. ”
"Don't talk nonsense! Don't forget, General Lightner is now in the shadow of Doom. ”
"Why hasn't the general come back yet? By the way, have you heard, it is said that they suffered heavy losses in this sortie! Less than 30 percent of them made it back alive. ”
"Where did you get the news from?"
"Of course I was told by someone who came back alive. Although they were given a gag order, I still have a few good brothers who can ignore the ban, and I can't hide this for long. ”
"8,000 people died, just to save a little woman?" someone said in a weird way.
There was silence in the channel, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he stopped speaking.
Old Mock suddenly spoke, and there was a tremor in his voice: "Look at the screen, there seems to be something!"
"Beast tide!" exclaimed from the channel. Exclamations followed, and in the blink of an eye, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the base. All combatants were quickly put into position, and those who were not front-line combatants were immediately evacuated underground.
Dozens of lasers lit up over the base, quickly swept through the air, and instantly weaved into an impenetrable net. These laser beams are not designed to attack, but to scan, and once they sweep an incoming flying beast or living missile in the air, they will immediately guide the anti-aircraft fire to destroy it.
However, the aerial interception was nothing, and the herd of beasts on the ground gradually became clear.
There was a large sigh of relief in the communication channel, and someone laughed: "Do you dare to attack like this?"
"The war beast won't take out all the old bottoms of the nest, right?"
"Quite possibly! I heard that their nest was taken once. ”
The rushing beast tide is sparse, the number is limited, and most of them are the lowest level of alien beasts, there are no giant rhinoceros beasts, there are no air troops, and there is not a single live missile. With such a small number of troops, for a fortress that once withstood the attack of the A-class beast tide, it was not even a warm-up.
The walls of the fortress resounded with the sound of sparse gunfire, and the guards didn't even bother to fire their cannons, the tide of war beasts and beasts was so scattered that they couldn't blow up a few things in one shot. This bit of war beast is just for everyone to practice marksmanship. However, the laser beam above the fortress did not stop, and it was still scanning intensively.
The face of the temporary commander was not good-looking, he was well aware of how expensive these laser detectors were, and he was well aware that they would last for several days in this environment. However, it is impossible to stop them, and in the past when the beast tide raided, the impression left by the living missiles was that they were piled up with corpses. He would rather run out of all the detectors in two days than let a single living missile fall into the fortress.
Some experienced veterans were a little puzzled, with only such a little war beast, why was there so much smoke and dust in the distance?
Just as most of the warriors were happily practicing shooting moving targets, there was a sudden roar on the wall, something exploded a few meters from a turret, and even the fortress wall made of alloy armor plates blew a small gap.
The guards of the turret had long since left their posts and went to the observation port to practice individual shooting. Caught off guard, he was almost stunned.
"What's going on?, live missiles?" the commander asked in the communications channel.
The guards quickly ducked back to their positions deep in the turret and searched around, but found no sign of live missiles.
Deep in the smoke and dust in the distance, mobile bases and dozens of armed trucks are moving back and forth, creating smoke and dust. Planets are electrostatically charged and corrosive with soot that can effectively block most detection methods. Although Chu Jungui had approached a few kilometers away, the defenders of the fortress still knew nothing.
The returning messenger reported the location of the explosion landing point, and Chu Jungui frowned, very dissatisfied with the landing point error. The shot was a full ten meters off. But it can't be helped, when the mechanical keyboard was manufactured, long-range accuracy was not considered, and at that time, it didn't make sense if the range was long.
However, the image brought back by the messenger made Chu Jungui judge that the number of defenders in the base was not large. Seeing that nearly half of the beasts in front of him who were cannon fodder and cover were killed, Chu Jungui immediately made a decision to attack!
